Getting The Info Out -Somehow

THE INFORMATION IS RIGHT THERE, in plain sight, in black and white, for anybody to see. The problem is, its spelled out in words and sentences on the pages of not only a hardbound book, but a forbiddingly long one, four hundred and forty eight pages of rather smallish type, which makes it even worse, even more imposing. Arguably, it is the most important book published in the United States in many years, perhaps ever, most important because of its shockingly scandalous, non fiction contents. More important to the health and future welfare of the U.S., perhaps, than even the icon of all books, widely considered to be the most important and influential tome of all time, the Bible itself. There is one big difference; the Mueller report was written by a single person, with technical assistance from others, not by several dozen largely unknown authors, and, of course, the Mueller report is fact, not fiction and mythology. And still, hardly anyone in America has read the Mueller report. Estimates range from less than one tenth of one hundredth of one percent to one tenth of one percent of the American people having read it in its entirety, in a nation in which the average American reads not a single book upon completion of high school. Although there are readers among us, they are scattered widely; we are a culture of visual and audio, disinclined to do the grindingly hard work of making our way through lengthy books. Just as many people swear by the divine origins and absolute sacred truth of the Bible who have never actually read the nearly one million word collection of manuscripts, so many people, mostly Trump supporters, dismiss the Mueller report out of hand, without having taken the time to open its covers. We Americans seem to find it much easier to evaluate the quality and importance of books which we have not bothered to read. Just as thousands of scholars have over the centuries carefully analyzed and reanalyzed every letter of the Bible in every language in which it was written and has ever been published, so future scholars may with equally assiduous detail treat the Mueller report, so important is its contents. Mueller tells, in perfect verified detail, the shocking story of how the United States of America was invaded, conquered, and thoroughly manipulated by a foreign power, obviously an enemy, not a friend. It tells the true story of how, while this was happening, the person who would become president and his associates were perfectly well aware that this was happening, accepted it, welcomed it, and did nothing to stop it. The reason? The foreign power was invading and manipulating the American people on their political behalf, on behalf of the man who became president partly because of the invasion. Most shocking is that Donald Trump clearly and overtly attempted to obstruct the investigation which resulted in the Mueller report. Under our very noses, in front of our very eyes, our nation was invaded, manipulated, and our president chosen for us by a foreign enemy power, with the assistance of the president of the United States. Shocking. And most shocking of all; we the American people don't want to know about it, don't care to know about it, and many if not most of us refuse to believe it, perhaps because it seems so hard to believe, even though its plainly spelled out and proven, right in front of our eyes, between the covers of a book too long to open and read.
