ON THIS DAY IN MYSTERY

January 13, 1944 France refuses to return Germany’s damage deposit collected in 1940 nor consider any other form of recompense. In response the National Democratic Party of Germany has filed grievances with the EU and The Hague claiming it should be reimbursed for expenses incurred during the four-year occupation. Citing road construction projects, bridge building, airfield costs and daily operations of forced labor camps the Nuevo Nazis say its investment far exceeded the damage deposit as well as other first and last as well as utility arrangements. Allied researchers claim that the Wehrmacht had severely plugged up both the Siegfried and Maginot Lines and entertained scapegoats, sacred cows,  and other livestock “in the cherished parlors of France”. The situation remains unresolved.

100 Years From Today

The term “Hold your horses” is once again in vogue according to unemployed cowboy poets. (Who owns the lyrics to once great songs?) – They have purchased the long sought destroyed court records from the Spanish Inquisition. Same old story: Jim Crow tells us that poor whites blame blacks for their problems when in fact its is rich whites that still exploit both groups. First missionaries reach Mars. Despite great achievements in both technology and humanitarian efforts people remain much the same as the hominids that proceeded them in the Neolithic era. Many major religions admit that long ago they made up fairy tales to control the populations but a majority of followers continue to adhere to moral principles introduced here. New viruses appear annually and are attributed to yet another period of climate change.
