The Parkway Drive-In by Pat Sides

1

 

During the 1950s and 1960s, drive-in restaurants reached their peak of popularity in the United States. Workers enjoyed unprecedented prosperity in the post-World War II years, and with their rising incomes, people enjoyed eating out more frequently. Drive-ins conveniently combined America’s love of food and automobiles. Evansville’s first drive-in, Austin’s, was in operation by 1945, and others soon followed, including the Dubl “R,” Biff-Burger Al’s, Leo’s Big Boy, Calico-Gal, and the Parkway Drive-In on New Harmony Road, pictured here in 1968. Large fast-food chains, with drive-through lanes, eventually led to the decline of smaller drive-ins.

INTELLIGENCE FARM

♪Does (everybody) really know what time it is? ♪

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton accused Russia of attempting to influence the election via hacking into unflattering emails. She, John McCain, CNN and virtually everyone on the planet but former presidential candidate Donald Trump cited the conclusions of seventeen intelligence agencies to support the accusations.

Seventeen! They are: Air Force Intelligence Agency, Army Intelligence Agency, Navy Intelligence Agency, Marine Corps Intelligence Agency, Coast Guard Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of the Treasury, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, and my personal favorite, The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. These sixteen all fall under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The Air Force Intelligence Agency alone deploys 50,000 military and civilian intelligence personnel. I was one of those at one time when I served in Air Force Intelligence. You who know me can make your own judgments or trite jokes.

Each of these agencies has subdivisions. For example, the Army Intelligence Agency contains five more “major” military disciplines within its overall functions: Imagery Intelligence; Signal Intelligence; Human Intelligence (yeah, I wondered too); Measurement and Signature Intelligence; and Counterintelligence and Security.

I will leave it up to you, Gentle Reader, to analyze the meaning behind President-Elect Trump’s rejection of the “intelligence” of the groups that gave us “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. As for me, I am transfixed by the notion that America has all these agencies containing hundreds of thousands of people whose job it is to spy on someone. My concern is who? There are only a few folks such as Russia, China and, an assortment of enemies our intelligence agencies created for us by surreptitiously toppling their governments, who might actually need watching.

What about the other 5 billion people on the planet, especially the 330 million Americans? All those thousands of spies have to either spy on somebody or get jobs, judging maybe. I fear our firewall against foreign enemies might turn inward out of boredom or partisanship. But after years of having our country insert itself in places such as Cuba, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc., etc., my real fear is eventually our intelligence manipulators will get us into a hole even the most powerful country in history cannot claw its way out of.

Usually Peg is the only one who reads these articles. However, I feel as if someone will be peering over her shoulder this time. Oh well, it will probably be some of the same disingenuous spooks who have tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully (so far) to get us to bomb Iran; so there is probably no need for us to worry.

IS IT TRUE ? DECEMBER 30,2016

IS IT TRUE that once upon a time an author by the name of Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book about the point where something is bound to happen?…that Gladwell named his book “The Tipping Point” using one of the many names given to point of no return scenarios?…that 2016 seems to have been a “Tipping Point” year for the United States of America, and that the event that is the signature of the “Tipping Point” came in the early morning of November 9, 2016 when it became apparent that New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump had been elected by the people of this great country to be the next President of the United States of America?…we predict that this election was not only the most revealing political event of 2016 but also of the last 100 years or more?

IS IT TRUE  there was no one thing that led to the election of a political novice like Mr. trump to the presidency?…the singular things that influenced the “Tipping Point” included NAFTA, the stock market crash of 2000, the rise of terrorism within our borders, the housing crisis, ObamaCare, a rising murder rate in America’s large cities, civil disorder, and of course a slowly falling lifestyle among grass roots middle class Americans?…the Russians and the FBI both of which have been the target of blame based pointing for Hillary Clinton’s improbable loss really had little to do with the outcome of the election?…there will be a time in 2017 when her supporters come to grip with the reality that is was life in these United States and not a babbling hoard,of Russian hackers that provided the fodder needed by a very astute man named Donald Trump to mobilize the discontent of the new century to win a term in the White House?

IS IT TRUE whether we like or dislike Mr. Trump that he will soon be President Trump with all of the power and responsibility reserved for that office alone?…as with all of our Presidents, when they do a good job, the American people are better off?…the time is now to face that reality and to encourage our new president to make things happen that will benefit us all?…tipping points are sometimes beneficial and sometimes lead chaos like we have seen in Venezuela during 2016?…we hope to see a better America in 2020 from both an economic and freedom perspective?
