LLAW’s “ALL THINGS NUCLEAR” #473 (12/07/2023)
”End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity"
LLAW’s COMMENTARY TODAY:
I’ve decided to beat the drum about this nightly Post tonight to try to toot my own horn just a bit in order to explain more about what it is actually supposed to do for the reader and how it works and why.
First, I will explain the how the media articles, separated by five categories of related but separate topics so that you the reader can select the stories that are more interesting to you personally. The categories are listed at the end of this comment section describing how the media stories are separated into those categories by the general area they relate to. Sometimes a news story may appear, depending on its potential importance and/or or its popularity. Each category has three articles, each on picked as the best and most informative pertaining to that category. Generally, speaking, they are the very best stories available, and they are chosen from media outlets all around the media world so that you can get a feel for what other countries are most serious about. And there is never an article posted on political, personal opinion, territorial, or any other kind of bias.
These articles are collected for me by my personal Google AI daily collection for me personally and posted in the six categories (including one bonus category I call “Yellowstone Caldera” for closely related issues, both good and bad, concerning needless nuclear power plants for reasons of world-wide importance). But since I was born and raised in Wyoming, I am most partial to the Yellowstone caldera and the news generated about it - although I often include information and news from other calderas spread around the planet. (I know that breaks my ‘no prejudice’ rule, but Yellowstone is also of world-wide interest, so to that extent I am considered excused.)
As for what I write in my nightly commentaries, the thoughts, ideas, technical issues, and opinions are my own and they vary in subject matter and meaning considerably from day-to-day and week-to-week, in presentation, technical intellect and knowledge, coupled with the psychology of massive awareness, fear, hope, courage, humanity, and world peace, and most importantly, my purpose which is always clearly written somewhere between the lines, no matter the written material.
That purpose is to raise global awareness, through both technical knowledge and a sudden peaceful global relationship and instant realization that we are all in this together in a new kind of world-wide unity. That unity will allow us to recognize the immediate and heart-thumping threats we are posing to our own species as well as other life everywhere around the world; and that to save ourselves from ‘doomsday’, or our own self-created 6th Extinction, we must as one newly united species come together in a desperate effort to save all life on planet Earth. We must do it immediately because every day lost brings us a day closer to self-destruction. We have a very long way to go with a short time to get there.
We presently have two silent death wishes (or three if you count nuclear war separately) and our concern, awareness, and desire to remove the danger of all three is terribly lacking in the human psyche. Climate Change/Global Warming, created by greenhouse gasses, is threatening to asphyxiate a living world as well, and its partner in crime, radiation from uranium fuel that powers both nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants will, one day, either separately or together, annihilate us. But that short extension of our lives only if we somehow avoid nuclear war, which could do us in on any unfortunate day now if humanity continues to fail to do a one-eighty-about-face and migrate back in the exact opposite direction from where we came.
The only other choice is from some unknown, perhaps alien, help from someone, something, from somewhere that we are most likely unaware of who may well be watching us while on alert, waiting for the universal command to save this beautiful life-giving planet Earth a day or two before the ‘armageddon’-like day of self-destruction arrives. Or maybe that day has already arrived and we are too mentally thoughtless, busy, dense, lazy, arrogant, or proud to turn back . . . ~llaw
