LLAW's "ALL THINGS NUCLEAR" #464 (11/28/2023)
"End nuclear insanity before nuclear insanity ends humanity"
LLAW’s COMMENTARY: (About Chicken Little)
Some would say, and rightly so, that this Post is like the stories of “Henny Penny”, who, when an acorn falls from a tree and hits her on the head, believes the sky is falling, and rushes off in fear to warn the world that “The Sky is Falling”. But, depending on the version, the moral of the drama varies according to experience and reality. Where there is a "happy ending," the moral of the story is to have courage rather than be a "chicken”. The tale is also sometimes regarded as a warning not to believe everything one is told in some versions, like when the chickens end up eaten by the foxes, implying that Henny Penny’s tale of danger is a fact, but others don’t believe her preposterous story and dismiss it out of hand, paying no heed to her warnings only to end up being eaten. The real moral of the story, in any case, is that anyone who believes that their warnings are legitimate based on their own judgement and experience should not be ridiculed and laughed at, unceremoniously dismissed by those who are too disinterested or mentally lazy to check out the warnings for themselves are considered courageous? “Courage” and “Ignorance” are not synonyms by any definition.
So it seems the two-sided story of “Chicken Little” is the same story as “All Things Nuclear”, including the threats of nuclear war and the dangers of nuclear power plants, where nuclear deterrence is a made-up agreement where the fox won’t eat the chicken for a political and/or commercial agreement kind of morality, while nuclear threats are, in fact, false warnings from those that we are told not to believe because they are extensions of the magical word deterrence in the form of intended fear of retaliation and that nuclear war can go no further than threats because the war can go no further than the deterrence ‘agreements’ allow (that are already being ripped to shreds by the way) . . . and therefor there is nothing to see here? The same insanity applies to nuclear generated power — perhaps moreso — because we are not smart enough to understand that all things nuclear are of the same ilk, no matter what it is used for.
Also, accepting the nuclear deterrence/ignorance insanity is “Courageous”? But not believing or accepting the political or commercial propaganda of greedy self-aggrandized men whose profession is lying to the rest of us, is being “Chicken”? llolloll! ~llaw
