North Korea and the NWO are not great threats, compared to China, IMO.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias
The normalcy bias, or normality bias, is a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster and its possible effects. This may result in situations where people fail to adequately prepare, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations.
The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It can result in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.
You realize your lamentable mental, in so much as you have what might forcibly be passed off as a mind, state could never be describe by any concept that contain the word "normal" in its description, right?
