In macroeconomics, the term refers a policy where central banks loosen monetary policy to increase the supply of money available for investment when there is little potential demand for investment, such as when firms have large cash reserves, underutilized production facilities, and large inventories and very limited consumer demand.

When a political vendetta is focused on local leaders constituents because he won't support a major politician. E.g., jamming up traffic for 1000's of constituents. Many constituents may unwittingly end up focusing their anger on the local leader, who is helpless in such a situation. The vendetta is obvious to the local leader, however it is hard to prove. When he protests he is mocked and humiliated, and made to look like a paranoid, delusional conspiracy theorist or incompetent idiot. The wide publicity from the vendetta creates an exponential impact on other non-supporters of the major politician, so they get the message and jump in line so they do not end up being humiliated, or in political gridlock.
Since the real perpetrator always has plausible deniability he can claim to be blindsided, heartbroken, embarrassed, humiliated and betrayed by his zealots, and his stupid goons. The ability of the perpetrator to transform himself into the victim by playing to people's empathy, sympathy, and by using an army of spin doctors who can saturated the media with a new image is a true accomplishment. The perpetrator's success may end up further enhancing his ability to inspire fear in those who may not aspire to come to his rescue. This works best when a complete account of conspiracy theory cannot show a direct connection, such as by a paper trail, or by testimony from stupid aides and appointees.

When stuck in gridlock traffic for hours.
Faceless constituent One: I guess it was "Time for traffic problems in Fort Lee"
Faceless constituent Two: You "Got it," right.

Greatly accelerating movement for a more civil society. The movement is for democratic solutions that involve the public at large and not through special interest groups solutions that have only perpetuated violence. They are for providing more public health to assure mental fitness. And they are against increasing the more violent types of methods and technologies that have only accentuated the problem of violence. While the issue of violence has always been debated and discussed through democratic means it has not always gotten very far with regards to effective public policy. After repeated police killings, street violence, massacres in schools and public places the youth have taken charge and started to effectively lead on this issue of a more civil life democracy free of violence.
The Civil Life Movement has lingered through the ages, making incremental progress on major issues, such as human rights, civil rights, and minority rights. However, it has also neglected some of the most fundamental issues, such as the right to be free of violence and violent methods of dispute resolution. After repeated failures to keep massacres and even domestic violence under control, the youth have organized Enough Rallies to focus on effective and human policies to reduce violence, and to solve problems democratically as a people instead of leaving it to special interest groups.
