The Mueller Report Yesteryear

Charles Hayes

    In 1940’s Germany a crowd of people watch the sickly sweet smelling smoke spiral to the sky as another group of ‘immigrants’ disembark from the box cars at the train station. Near the end of the platform a well dressed man turns to his wife and in answer to her question says, “Of course we know what is being done here. Nothing so unprecedented could ever be hidden from the country.”
    “I suppose, you are right Fritz,” his wife replies. “It’s just something that I am not used to. Though I suppose it is for the best.”
    “Of course it is my dear.”
    “But Fritz, why is there such talk about, ‘If we only knew the truth we would put an end to it.’”
    “Well darling, it’s what we must say to keep our standing in civilization. Otherwise we might be perceived as bad apples. In a word, scum, or more simply, bad people.”
    “Uh huh.”
    “Sure, why do you think it’s so confusing when this problem is termed a political act or most anything else that it is not. We all know that there is no such thing as whatever it may be called but we must keep these trains running on time and the butter and bullets flowing. We really don’t need them anyway, we already have plenty. And we MUST protect it.”
    “Uh huh.”
    “Oh well, we are the best people, it appears so far, and the Schutzstaffel is giving our boy the evening off. Come along dearest, we must buy some Kartoffelkloesse and Schnapps for the Fuhrer’s speech of the union.”
