Stochastic Terrorism

In 2011, an anonymous blogger defined the term “stochastic terrorism”.

Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass communications to incite random actors to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable. In short, remote-control murder by lone wolf.

This is what occurs when Bin Laden releases a video that stirs random extremists halfway around the globe to commit a bombing or shooting.

This is also the term for what Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, and others do. And this is what led directly and predictably to a number of cases of ideologically-motivated murder similar to the Tucson shootings. As of this writing, there is no evidence to link Jared Loughner to a specific source of incitement; but some of the other cases can be clearly linked.

The stochastic terrorist is the person who is responsible for the incitement. For example they go on radio or television and stir up hatred toward a particular person or group.

During the 2016 Presidential campaign, David Cohen noted in Rolling Stone that Donald Trump was practicing stochastic terrorism.

Speaking to a crowd in Wilmington, North Carolina, Tuesday, Trump expressed concern about Hillary Clinton possibly picking Supreme Court justices and other judges. He then said, “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know.”

Let that soak in for a second. One of the two major-party nominees for president just called for “Second Amendment people” to “do” something about his political opponent’s judges. According to the Trump campaign’s rapid response team, he was talking about those “Second Amendment people” coming together politically - “unification,” as they called it. The Clinton campaign, and pretty much the entire Internet, saw it differently: as a clear suggestion of violence against a political opponent.

Rewarded for this rhetoric with the highest office in the land, Trump has kept on stoking his base into a furor with tweets and rallies, resulting in the recent pipe bomb mailings to prominent Democrats and the massacre of 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue.

Je sais que ce n'est ni le bon jour ni la bonne heure pour poster, mais peu importe, j'en ai marre de vivre au rythme des réseaux.

Pas loin d'une semaine que je travaille sur ma dernière image des #perséides. Et là encore, le timing n'est pas bon. Il fallait la sortir le lendemain, quand c'était encore dans l'actu, lorsque tous les sites photos et astro partageaient les images de la veille.

Oui, mais voilà, un vrai beau traitement astro cela prend du temps, et je ne veux pas faire du travail bâclé ou du fake pour poster vite.

Il faut se battre contre le bruit, les aberrations thermiques, récupérer le signal des étoiles et des météorites au milieu de tout ce grain et à travers les nuages, les trier des satellites et avions, tenter de sauver les poses où des voitures sont passées… tout cela pour espérer voir la nuit comme en plein jour… pas une version fantasmée, pas une version bruitée, mais la vraie nuit dans toute sa clarté, sa subtilité, sa dynamique…

C'est long, mais c'est toujours passionnant de voir l'image finale. Le résultat est si loin de nos perceptions, tant en luminosité qu'en temporalité, que l'on découvre une autre part du réel.

As an FYI, you don’t need to block them, they’re already banned. The list is just a record.

It would be really useful and helpful if there were an option (or, more likely, an x-kit extension) that would automatically block blogs that are on this list.
