The real 'reset' is coming >>

"President Joe Biden believes the Ukraine war will mark the start of a “new world order.” In the middle of the COVID global pandemic, Klaus Schwab and global elites likewise announced a “great reset.”

Accordingly, the nations of the world would have to surrender their sovereignty to an international body of experts. They would enlighten us on taxes, diversity and green policies.

When former President Donald Trump got elected in 2016, marquee journalists announced partisan reporting would have to displace the old, supposedly disinterested approach to the news.

There is a common theme here.

In normal times progressives worry that they do not have public support for their policies. Only in crises do they feel that the political left and media can merge to use apocalyptic themes to ram through usually unpopular approaches to foreign and domestic problems.

We saw that last year: fleeing from Afghanistan, the embrace of critical race theory, trying to end the filibuster, pack the court, junk the Electoral College and nationalize voting laws.

These “new orders” and “resets” always entail far bigger government and more unelected, powerful bureaucracies. Elites assume that their radical changes in

energy use, media reporting, voting, sovereignty and racial and ethnic quotas will never quite apply to themselves, the architects of such top-down changes.

So we common folk must quit fossil fuels, but not those who need to use corporate jets. Walls will not mar our borders but will protect the homes of Nancy Pelosi, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. Hunter Biden’s lost laptop will be declared, by fiat, not news. In contrast, the fake Alfa Bank “collusion” narrative will be national headline news for weeks.

Middle-class lifestyles will be curbed as we are instructed to strive for sustainability and transition to apartment living and mass transit. But the Obamas will still keep their three mansions, and Silicon Valley futurists will insist on exemptions for their yachts.

In truth, we are about to see a radical reset — of the current reset. It will be a different sort of transformation than the elites are expecting and one that they should greatly fear.

The world and the United States are furious over hyperinflation that may soon exceed 10 percent per year. We will be lucky if it ends only in recession or stagflation, rather than a global depression.

The mess was created by the same apparat who bought into “modern monetary theory.” That silly university idea claimed prosperity would follow vastly expanding the money supply, keeping interest rates at de facto zero levels,

In truth, we are about to see a radical reset — of the current reset. It will be a different sort of transformation than the elites are expecting and one that they should greatly fear.

The world and the United States are furious over hyperinflation that may soon exceed 10 percent per year. We will be lucky if it ends only in recession or stagflation, rather than a global depression.

The mess was created by the same apparat who bought into “modern monetary theory.” That silly university idea claimed prosperity would follow vastly expanding the money supply, keeping interest rates at de facto zero levels, running huge annual deficits, piling up unsustainable national debt and subsidizing workers to stay home.

Natural gas and oil costs are now soaring to unsustainable levels — and to the point where the middle class simply will not be able to travel, keep warm in winter or cool in summer.

Both in Europe and the United States left-wing governments deliberately curbed drilling and non-Russian pipelines. They shut down nuclear power plants and subsidized costly, inefficient solar and wind projects. They ended up not with utopia, but with fuel shortages, high prices and energy dependency on the world’s most repressive regimes.

The woke revolution in the West was supposed to teach us that the “white male”-dominated Western world is toxic. Its origins, ascendence and current leisure and affluence were supposedly due only to systemic exploitation, racism and sexism. Elites introduced cancel culture, doxxing, deplatforming and social ostracism to shame these supposed exploiters and to destroy their lives and careers.

few asked how a supposedly noxious West of some 2,500 years duration became the No. 1 destination of millions of global non-Western migrants and offered the greatest degree of global prosperity and freedom for its citizens.

So a reset reckoning is coming — in reaction to the “new orders” championed by Biden and the Davos set......"

remains of a World War II U.S. pilot whose aircraft was shot downwpix 1944 have been identified

The remains of a heroic World War II U.S. pilot whose aircraft was shot down in 1944 have been identified after a decadeslong effort to bring the service member (picture enclosed below)

home.

Eugene Shauvin, 25, from Spokane, Washington, was accounted for on March 2 after previous attempts to locate his remains at the crash site in Belgium were unsuccessful, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said Tuesday.

Efforts to locate Shauvin's remains were renewed by his daughter, Linda, who was only 3 years old when her father was deployed, after she contacted the Army Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii in 1999 to say she had evidence that her father's remains were at the crash site.

Shauvin was killed on Sept. 17, 1944, when the plane he was piloting, a C-47 Skytrain, was shot down en route to the Netherlands to drop 11 paratroopers. Six paratroopers on the plane were able to bail out of the plane, but Shauvin, along with three other crew members and five paratroopers, died in the crash, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said.

Eight service members' bodies were located just a few days after the crash by local residents. By 1951, the U.S. military had identified and accounted for everyone involved in the crash except for Shauvin, who was declared "non-recoverable" on Oct. 29, the agency said.

 

In 2003, a U.S. recovery team located the pit at the site but didn't find Shauvin's remains and recommended no further excavation. After Linda pushed the laboratory to reconsider its recommendation in 2016, it was determined that there was "sufficient" evidence to support additional excavation upon assessing the 2003 reports.

 

It took three years for officials to complete a "complex series of negotiations with host-nation authorities, to gain access, permits, and mitigate environmental challenges at the site," which was further delayed by the pandemic.

Last spring, a U.S. recovery team was sent to excavate the site, where it found human remains that were later sent off for an anthropological analysis that confirmed they belonged to Shauvin.

 

"When we say, ‘No one is left behind,’ we truly mean it. Our country will do whatever it takes, send the right people with the right technology and right ability to find them, bring them home where they belong, and allow their families to close this incredible chapter in their lives,” said Howard Mariteragi, a life support investigator, in a news last June.

Shauvin, who was recorded on the Walls of the Missing at the Netherlands American Cemetery along with others missing from World War II, will have a rosette placed next to his name to show he has been accounted for, the agency said.

 

The Heroic  Lieutenant's long journey home will come to an end this year as he is set to be buried in his hometown in July, according to the agency.

The Night Watchman

THE NIGHT WATCHMAN

THE NIGHT WATCHMAN 

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.

Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."  So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"  So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions,and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"  So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?"   So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"  So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back."  So they laid off the night watchman. 

 

NOW slowly, let it sink in.

Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.  Does anybody remember the reason given for the 

establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during the Carter administration?

Anybody?  Anything?  Anyone?  No?  Didn't think so!

Bottom line is, we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency, the reason 

for which very few people who read this can remember!

Ready??

It was very simple... and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.

The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977, TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.

Hey, pretty efficient, huh???

AND NOW IT'S 2022 -- 45 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $242 BILLION A YEAR. IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

(THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?") 

Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy.

NOW, WE HAVE TURNED OVER THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT? What can possibly go wrong?

 

Hello!!  Anybody Home?

Signed.... The Night Watchman
