I have to deal with a lot of people over YouTube that bring republican politics into stock trading.

They have allowed ideology to guide their investing decisions and have been hurt financially with last week's plunge in silver. Let last week's plunge serve as a warning for those who bring politics into stock trading. Folks, stock trading is no place for politics.

There is a violent republican ideology going across the country right now. You need to be aware of it and be able to spot the people who are its leaders. It can best be summarized like this: God, Gold, and Guns.

This goes beyond political ideology. If I saw a democrat group and its huge media conglomerate leading the populace towards hate, violence, and mass murder, I would do a video exposing that as well.

Paranoia begets more paranoia. Fear begets more fear. Hate begets more hate. Violence begets more violence. It is a cycle that once started, is very hard to break.

Very interesting. I'd never heard the term "stochastic terrorism" before.

2. I had heard the term.......

And yes, had jumped to Palin and Beck before listening and watching. Of course, what I really want to know is who is behind these two and their lunatic listeners.

And yes, that is why the media atmosphere is so upsetting to me. That constant drumbeat would upset a sane person, let alone the crazies among us.

9. Thom Hartmann used the term some time ago.

I particularly remember he had trouble pronouncing it.
It is an ugly word for an ugly deed,

3. question...

Is this a "recently" coined phrase or does it have some basis in social science or psychology?

[PDJane]

4. It's not new.

Stochastic is any process that has a random component that will effect the outcome. I heard it years ago in university.

5. I understood "stochastic"

I've never heard it applied in this manner...I guess I'm asking if this has been a field of legitimate study....they video says that it can be statistically predicted that a given outcome will take place from such language. I want to read those studies so I can argue more knowledgeably with my tea partying friends.

6. It's been studied as an adjunct to

risk and catastrophe management, in some cases. I'm quite sure that some enterprising math geek has models somewhere, but I truthfully haven't looked for it. Stochastic terrorism as a term has been around for long enough!
