Forget
Roswell, Area 51 and Hanger 18; instead, think Washington, D.C. For those who
may have stayed too long in “Sleepy Hollow”, UFO advocates strongly contend
alien spacecraft were recovered in the 1947 Roswell, NM crash, secretly taken
to Hanger 18 on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and then transferred to the
impenetrable Area 51 where scientists have reversed engineered the out of this
world technology and constructed similar craft, maybe, even new and improved
versions.
I personally
doubt the reversed engineered hypothesis concerning UFOs. I have no such doubts
when it comes to politics that constantly, predictably, and inevitably swarm into
our print and electronic media from that great ”Twilight Zone” situated in our
nation’s capital. Here’s my reasoning:
1. Pick any political topic and
advocates from the Right or the Left will take a stance solely dependent, not
on any logic, but simply on party affiliation. In other words, skillfully
constructed lines of “reasoning and sure fire evidence” that are determined not
by merits or truth, but where the politician stands. Sadly, they prove again
and again the old political axiom, ‘Where you stand depends on where you sit.”
Reverse engineered politics.
2. A previously shared true illustration
drives home this point. During my military career I took a very long and
detailed communication and electronics course at Keesler AFB, MS in 1966. One
of my instructors was a college-educated and technologically knowledgeable
person from the local area. During a classroom break, I mentioned Ralph Nader’s
book--- “Unsafe at Any Speed”--- and I said former Attorney General, Robert
Kennedy supported the book which described the many safety hazards in the Chevrolet
Corvair. The time and the location are
crucial to understanding his immediate response, “If Bobby Kennedy is for it,
and then I guess I’m against safety.” Reverse engineered politics.
3. The current maelstrom over President
Trump’s nomination of Judge Kavanagh for the Supreme Court represents my
contention to the maximum degree. If Trump is for it, the Democrats and their
supportive media acolytes are not only against the nomination, there is a not
so covert attempt to fight a classic military delaying action until the
cavalry—make that November elections---arrives. Reverse engineered politics.
Regardless
of the Kavanagh outcome, the American public has daily witnessed the bloody
“open heart surgery” of reverse engineered politics.
