The mass murder that didn’t happen.
Guess why: The mass murder that didn’t happen.
And then ask: Why was this not a major news story considering the focus right now on violence and mass murders?
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

And there are those who still insist the MSM does NOT have an agenda. By the way – I’ve stopped referring to them as Main-Stream Media (MSM) – I find the term LWM (= Left-Wing Media) more accurate & descriptive…
A lot of people getting killed is more newsworthy than a lot of people not getting killed. You know, “If it bleeds, it leads”. Too much decision making by the general public is based upon what is sensational. Rather, people need to be smart enough to process the news that they get and be able to assess what is the real truth. The best journalism ought to leave the reader with an understanding of what reality is.
Part of the problem is, we consumers of the news don’t know what we don’t know – that is, if it ISN’T reported in the first place, how do we ever find out about it? Luckily there are more sources avaliable now, but even so, I certainly heard nothing about this story, but it’s an important one that should impact the decision-making on how to deal with mass shootings. So we can try to be more discerning of the news, but most of us don’t have the resources or time to ferret out unreported stories like this…
