THE ORIGINAL INGLORIOUS BASTERD: Heroes of a Generation: OSS spy Martin Gelb, 100 years old.
“I don’t know if I was fearless,” he added, “all I know is a few times, I disobeyed orders and I got rewarded for it.”
The OSS wanted spies who could think on the run. “The ideal OSS candidate was described as a Harvard PhD that could handle himself in a bar fight,” said Charles Pinck, a native of Massachusetts and president of the OSS Society. “The OSS needed people who could think and act independently.”
People like Martin Gelb.

OPEN THREAD: The weekend’s not over until we say it is!
GOOD NEWS IN BOLIVIA: Communist Stooge Evo Morales Forced To Resign By Protesters. “Tensions first flared on the night of the presidential election after the results count was inexplicably stopped for 24 hours. The final result gave Mr Morales slightly more than the 10-percentage-point lead he needed to win outright in the first round of the race. At least three people died during clashes that followed. Some uniformed police officers also joined the protesters. On Sunday, the Organization of American States, which monitored the elections, said it had found evidence of wide-scale data manipulation, and could not certify the result of the previous polls.”

Think of it as The Conflicting Dogmas of the Liberal Clerisy, a topic Barton Swaim explored at the Weekly Standard the year before its implosion:
What modern liberals believe instead is that a clerisy, an educated elite that favors personal autonomy and open-mindedness and fairness, should write the rules for everybody else. Today’s liberal elite do not look backward for their authority—there are no scriptures and no inviolable traditions in modern liberalism. They look to the future. The rules issuing from the modern liberal clerisy are thought to be the latest manifestation of moral progress, to which educated people must adhere if they wish to be thought of as good people.
The constantly shifting Orwellian language codes are important, because the insider-lingo allows leftists to feel a sense of smug superiority to their fellow man. Or as Jeffrey Folks wrote at the American Thinker last year, “For liberals, the distinction between the ‘dumb masses’ and their enlightened selves renders life meaningful. Disdain for ordinary folks is not just an ancillary trait of liberalism. It is fundamental to the its nature.”
ANSWERING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Richard Fernandez tweets that “Jeffrey Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself” is “This generation’s Kilroy Was Here.”
But, what’s the origin of “Kilroy Was Here?”
Exit quote: “One of his most daring appearances may have been at the Potsdam Conference in 1945. During the summit, Harry Truman, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin had exclusive use of a VIP bathroom. One day, Stalin reportedly used the facilities, and came out demanding to know from one of his aides who Kilroy was, having found the drawing on one of the walls.”
