Concerns
People who are fed up, for one reason or another, with the general situation in their respective nation state, are to be fund in any population at any point in time. If there are to many of them and demonstrations start to happen, it usually leads to intervention by government forces and repression, or success on the side of the protesters and the founding of a new government. These people are and have always been, sought for by foreign governments for recruiting to influence the situation in that nation and to get rid of the current government in some way or another.
Full spectrum dominance
William Engdahl in his book: "Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order" opines that the United States government has perfected colour revolutions as a tool against adversarial governments with the implementation of new technologies such as social media and special education for leaders of protests via fronts such as USAID and NED.[1] Swarming is one of the operational techniques used on the ground to outmaneuver government forces.[2]
