"They need an incident in order to deflect the heat. Another bio-chem attack ..."

Purely by coincidence, I predict with my incredible crystal ball, one of a short list that will stop the media in its tracks in the next 30 days:

- International nuclear or bio attack, probably Paki/India, Israel, or even Iraq
- Domestic 9/11-type event, stopped at the last minute by Tenet himself on national TV <gg>
- A domestic event that, oops, isn't stopped

The results?
Stock market crash even further.
Economy plunges further into purely military mode, with damage to all other sectors.
Real estate in "escape" areas maintains value, cities fall in value.
Gold and metals increase, along with survival merchandise and services.

Alarmist that I seem to be, I won't be selling my remaining tech, gold and tech defense stocks (20% of my total net), but will go down with the ship, if it goes.

"Rendon ... cranking out false threat alerts at a fevered pitch"

Boy, you got that right.
The problem is that it might be that only a real incident will convince Americans to pay attention.
