Soma and the New World War
I’ve posted about this before - that the world is at war but we don’t really know it, or pay much attention. Israeli spy chief, Efraim Halevy says WWIII has already started, an Israeli ought to know. (He is not the first person to say this however.)
‘We are in the midst of a third World War,’ former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy told weekly newspaper Expresso.
‘The world does not understand. A person walks through the streets of Tel Aviv, Barcelona or Buenos Aires and doesn’t get the sense that there is a war going on,’ said Halevy who headed Mossad between 1998 and 2003.
‘During World War I and II the entire world felt there was a war. Today no one is conscious of it. From time to time there is a terrorist attack in Madrid, London and New York and then everything stays the same.’ Israel News
Afterward, “everything stays the same”. We have to watch “Grey’s Anatomy”, or “American Idol”, keep up with entertainment news, and get going on our winter vacations, get to the casinos, keep up with fashion, build our big houses, buy our big cars - the list just goes on. It’s all pretty stressfull, but we’ve got our anti-depressants to get us through it all.
Call me crazy, but I’m convinced we have become a sedated society. If not, it seems to me a majority of people have some sort of dissociative disorder.

I think you’re right, and I’ve also considered how during WWI and II, it was huge…no one was untouched.
Yet today, we go about our lives as though nothing were happening. We are untouched.
We’ve even returned to normal after the 9-11 attacks, with just a few frozen images and sterile stock footage to remind us once per year.
