bleh.. there were crazy alerts when i went to the US in november.. some muslim prophecy of a lunar eclipse month that meant they were going to strike like the exact week i was there. lol.. It's all bullshit designed purely and solely for psychological warfare.. besides a large media alert like this probably takes .25% off consumption for the next few weeks as people, particularly the paranoid and easily scared go out 10% less than normal into the big cities and subways etc so theres a small real economic effect as well.. it's probaly smaller than my shoddy example figures but.. it's be there.. Also a flood of announcements like this is like crying wolf.. one day one will come true and people won't take any notice.. I wonder if it'll go to orange in october.
