Nothing will happen to bring these horrible issues to light.
On the other hand, if it were a Republican administration...
Twenty-eight dead in Connecticut will continue to dominate the news.
Yup.
I was saying in the first week of the Benghazi incident that there were a dozen reasons why the signs were already in place that it would eventually evaporate into thin air. Just like Fast and Furious. Once the tabloid aspects of the Petraeus affair, and Paula Broadwell, and those sisters whose name no one remembers now, were pushed onstage and forced into the
“narrative”, the whole incident lost its momentum, and took on a different character. The dialogue about it was derailed, and the whole issue went down a rabbit-hole, permanently extinguished. And so......they fade from memory, are supplanted by other, bigger “issues”, which are manipulated into the public consciousness with the help of the MSM, and the procedures and testimonies get delayed, stalled, etc. as they are now, new stories dominate the news cycle, and everything gets flattened out and de-fused.
The tragic shootings at Newtown Ct. are going to dominate the news for weeks, placing all these other stories on the back burner. Perfect for Obama, who will take the “lead” like you’ve never seen him take the lead before, since the gun control issues on his Agenda have now been resuscitated
by Newtown. They will pay a tiny bit of lip service to the real issues about Newtown, like mental illness, public safety at schools , the electronic/video game culture of death and mayhem which provide images that dance bloodily in our minds whether we participate or not, but the dominant issue will be some new and totally irrelevant attempt to
intimidate legitimate and lawful gun-owners. It will be pointed out that Lanza’s mother was something of a survivalist,(read:lunatic Rightwing gun nut) who was actually mentally unstable enough to bring her mentally unstable son to a shooting range presumably to help him “take care of himself” in the event of an end-time collapse. (Ironically, she engineered her own end-time, since he killed her first.)All this will constitute a new narrative
which will effectively knock everything else off the front
pages and involve a new ersatz “national conversation” where no voices will be listened to except the ones issuing from the Administration and the MSM as they promulgate and promote their real agenda.
