President Trump has been charged under Woodrow Wilson’s Espionage Act enacted during World War I. Wilson used the law to throw thousands of his enemies into prison. Wilson’s men came to Creston and had a big meeting. They showed pictures of German soldiers roasting Belgian babies on spits. Old Hiram Campbell who had been in the Union Army said soldiers did not do such things. Of course there is the small matter of how these pictures came about. The head government man said Campbell was guilty of some crime and everyone heard him and they could have the trial right then and the government men could take him away to prison. The crowd took offense as Mr. Campbell was well thought of and to use modern language he was not guilty of disinformation or misinformation or any other PC garbage. The Creston folks “suggested” that the government men get back on the boat and leave town and never come back. Old Hi Campbell was able to live out his life at home.
