I can not predict social unrest 3-5 days before it happens but my google alert for "black man shot by police" can do the same reliably 24 hours before social unrest starts. Suck this CIA.

That's more indicative of the agitator movement "Black Live's Matter" and the disgusting mainstream media that assists them in provoking the general populace. The death of black men at the hands of the police is unrelated.

I'm curious, who are your favorite journalists or what are your favorite news sites?

Thanks!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Dangers coming from usage of systems like this by a private corporation is not a cliche. It is a real danger. If it has not clicked for you then advertising network is a behaviour control mechanism.

HN is a behaviour control mechanism. _Other people_ upvote articles and downvote anything they don't like. Therefore ensuring you are forced fed with only articles _they_ like. Your behavior is controlled by all these other people. /s

Sure it is and without sarcasm. Even when you do not post anything here then reading what is posted influences you toward certain target. Perhaps you get more interested in Javascript for example or most probably, startups.

The question is not in this. The question is in the scale of the operation and actual spread of the influence.

I think you'll find a lot of false positives, as unfortunately that alert will be sent more than once a week: http://www.killedbypolice.net/ (M/B means Male/Black)

Yes, and what percentage of those killings are actually justified? The police have an inherently dangerous profession.

I downvoted because this comment is incredibly inflammatory and instead of providing any evidence relies solely on inflammatory language and emotional appeal.

I was personally in Western Tunisia (on the Algerian border) as the Tunisian uprising, the first of the Arab Spring, began. I was there a month. The protests were in full swing for weeks in every village in the west before anything hit western media. No travel warnings or any of that backdated pretend bureaucracy. I very much doubt the CIA had much of an idea what was going on outside the capital. The only western pr…

Of course a social uprising in Tunisia is very unlikely to spread to the USA. Movements in the UK, Australia and Canada however... As for staying off the wires. Thanks to the network effect you need to have a large portion of your network do the same.

How is a social uprising in Tunisia more likely to spread to the UK or Canada than the USA?

It's interesting given that many citizens have predicted that things are about to collapse.

The difference was in the number of police man in the coastal cjties. They were non existant which suggests that the regime was fighting in the unrest locations at full capacity. It never happened before.
