The Hundredth Monkey

Are you familiar with the book "The Hundredth Monkey"? 

It tells the story of monkeys on the Japanese island of Koshima and other island where scientists began in 1952 dropping sweet potatoes for them to make sure they were getting enough to eat.

The monkeys liked the potatoes but didn't like the sand on them.

One young monkey began washing her sweet potatoes in a stream.

Other young ones and their parents started doing the same thing.

In 1958 a monkey Ken Keyes, jr., the author calls 'the hundredth monkey', began washing potatoes before eating. And then all the monkeys did!

More amazing, after the hundredth monkey, monkeys on all the islands started washing the sweet potatoes!!!

The book is about nuclear war and how the 100th monkey could help prevent it ever happening.

But I want to look at it from the point of view of what happens to the former president (who I do not name in this blog).

The hundredth monkey could turn the nation against him and have him criminally prosecuted for his actions leading up to January 6th and his lack of action on that day.

The whole nation would be liberated from that awful day of treason.

Come on, Hundredth Monkey.

Wash that sweet potato!
