UFO Chic, Version 2021

 


First,
a diversion:  

Last week, it was President Joe Biden vs. The World.  The World and Putin clearly won.  Maybe that's not only because Biden's mental faculties are in question, but because the Biden family appears to have a history of lucrative relationships with countries whose back-and-forth actions with this new Administration may not be in the national interest.  Meanwhile, as various expensive definitions of "infrastructure" are argued to death, the floodgates remain open at the Southern border, allowing drugs, diseases,  criminals and the absolute worst examples of human dog poop to threaten American lives and culture.  Border-absent "czar" VP Harris (until tomorrow. . .I guess. . .) and Biden himself are already on the way to going down in history as the worst leaders ever, as they utterly fail (obviously by design) to protect the American people -- their first obligation.

Which makes me wonder, as even a growing number of their fellow Democrats are beginning to see the light, why top officials in the White House, the House and Senate shouldn't eventually be eligible for appearances before judge, jury and significant punishment. Impeachment? Let's use the American justice system as it was intended for all Americans.  These people have proven themselves as dangerous as any mob whilst attempting to pin that description on any American simply in fear for their country.  Most people did not vote for this and surely many of those who rubber-stamp voted Democrat simply had no clue about unsavory issues which would return to bite them in the. . .hand.  So. . .who, again, are the real extremists in America?

Good going, China!  New reports indicate that infertility is a substantial problem in China.  Where will China find seven-year-olds to make shoes?  Who's gonna re-educate, torture and murder imprisoned Muslims?  Who's gonna breed, mistreat and boil dogs for the dinner table?  Who's gonna plunder the seas and destroy aquatic wildlife wholesale? Will there be enough people remaining to extol the virtues of Chairman Mao and other Chinese communist monsters?  How will this jibe with China's long-term plans to take over the world?  Can China substitute robots or, as always, just make use of our social network and the egomaniacs behind them to conquer the planet?

"Juneteenth" becomes another national holiday, devouring a billion dollars or two annually in paying federal employees not to work.  Hmm, let me see if I have this straight:  Union Army soldiers -- most of whom were, we suspect, white -- marched into Texas to inform unaware slaves that they had actually been freed months ago (because nobody, conveniently, bothered to tell them).  So. . .as celebrations pop up all over the country in 2021, should Juneteenth mostly symbolize brave, primarily white soldiers who, like the currently cancel-cultured President Abraham Lincoln, helped achieve freedom for black slaves?  Seems they really should be honored, since we already have (1) Independence Day, which cover all of us throughout the nation, (2) Black History Month, which even some black people believe should be "history" by now as an annual event, (3) the Martin Luther King (he, too, on the verge of being taken out by the cancel culture) holiday, (4) Black Lives Matter, many of whose followers have no clue and probably wouldn't care that BLM's Marxist values intend to destroy the United States government, (5) and statues and all sorts of hoopla popping up to make George Floyd a hero rather than a victim with, nonetheless, an established criminal past (when George Floyd overcomes -- as in "we shall overcome -- Martin Luther King as the consummate black icon, we're in trouble).

And now, UFOs:  Here they come, one by one, a House representative here, a senator there, an anonymous source in the background, each willing to acknowledge only in so many words that they've had a preliminary briefing regarding UFOs, the upshot being that the situation isn't pretty.  Might I politely ask. . .

WHERE HAVE YOU PEOPLE BEEN FOR DECADES?    

In a way, the absurdity of this awakened congressional intrigue with UFOs is a comedy of the absurd.  Pull out a copy of The UFO Evidence, published by the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena and given to each and every member of Congress in 1964, and you'll find a section dedicated to numerous congressional comments taking the UFO issue seriously.

Yes, closure of the Air Force's Project Bluebook and the University of Colorado UFO project's negative (political) conclusion seemed to put an end to the subject for some, but anybody even mildly aware as years progressed of a continuation of reported, sometimes dramatic UFO encounters  -- and surely Congress and military contacts were perfectly aware -- would suspect all was not right with a UFO enigma which refused to lie down and play dead.

So now we have Washington insiders, outsiders, up-siders and down-siders tripping over one another to have personal time with TV news cameras, acting as if the UFO issue was the newest thing to hit public attention since yesterday morning, darned nearly biting their nails off in either giddy or curious anticipation of the Pentagon's report.

But Wait! What's that mile-high stack of objects over there in the corner, ignored by respectable / huffy journalists and government officials too important to be hampered by glimpses of what seemed the patently ridiculous?  Oh, oh yeah, now we can make it out -- it's hundreds of books and literally hundreds of thousands of journals, magazines, audio and video recordings, electronic evidence and sober accounts regarding UFO sightings and close encounters.  Everything was there for the taking, for serious journalism and congressional perusal.  How did we get to the point where a congressman or two comes out of a building with a disturbed persona, suddenly and as if never before worried about mysteries in the skies, under water and apparently on terra firma?

So where y'all been, elected dudes and dudettes? Hmm?
