Not a viable method in a "democratic" country where people can figure things out easily thank to internet.

Call Kim Dotkom and his friends because Pentagon is in danger zone!

Katrina disaster is a good example of what will happen if things go bad enough.
Government can prepare all they want. But they will not have enough resources to enforce civil order if many cities start mass protesting at the same time.

A few years back there was rioting in London - the rioters weapon of choice was the Blackberry - apparently its messages could be sent anonymously. The police were always one step behind - the riots were spontaneous in nature, but faciltated by anonymous comms.
The British response to the likelihood of impending civil unrest is somewhat more old school than the Minerva Research Initiative - the Mayor of London has just invested in the good old, tried and tested water cannon.....
The instant messaging flashmob response to that should be to re constitute the mob at a slightly varying location every minute or so, leading the water cannons in a circle. Or to the pre designated point where they sink into mud, are attacked by massive quantities of fire ants, or various other entertaining possibilities.To all Bitcoiners of a revolutionary bent, say hello to Twister

I guess, though, water cannon would be useful in protecting fixed sites like national monuments from being vandalized.

In my view, instead of the US Minerva project spending millions on trying to understand the behavioural dynamics of civil unrest via mass surveillance/putting social scientists on the payroll, they might be better advised to try and understand the underlying social, economic and cultural exclusion that forms the backdrop to civil unrest. I'm sure there would be plenty of Marxist academic sociologists up and down the land who could give them the basics on that one
But then thats the real issue here isn't it ? - TPTB have no desire whatsoever to address economic inequality, nor the inequality in life chances for citizens of the "free" world. TPTB wish to preserve the existing inequality against those that would question and oppose it - and not just within its own borders neither, but within the borders of any nation (read "satellite") that the US deems to be of strategic importance to its own interests !!
Its stuff like this that helps remind me why I quit Facebook

Good one via The Guardian. Brushes on some of the topics discussed on this board, and provides one of the most plausible explanations for the scope of intelligence agency internal population surveillance, 'fusion center' construction, etc:
