Our nation has been righfully griped by the events in Boston over the past week.

Just before that, the world seemed on the brink of global nuclear conflagration.

Just why did that switch got turned off and all of a sudden what seemed like an imminent worldwide crisis has fizzled into nothing.

Little Kim was upstaged, or was he?

The question is, is someone making a move on us while we are distracted with Boston?

The Hitt Effect First noted by astroecon whiz Bob Hitt:
The idea is simple: When the public is starting to whip itself up into a frenzy over the wrong thing [e.g. the market and the Depression unfolding, war with North Korea] all that's needed is a properly sized emotionally impacting event to 'switch the panic off' by, as Hitt explained it back when "…diverting that emotional energy somewhere else…"

Maybe the Norks are only good fodder for the sheeple when it’s a slow news week.

Obama and his crew have made us very vulnerable to attack by a number of enemies.

We’re at the mercy of some very bad people.

A nuclear attack on the United States is a possibility.

Goes to show how the media can create crisis and divert people’s eyes whenever they want. Quite a pathetic statement about most of us, how we can be led by our noses so easily.
