LLAW’s “ALL THINGS NUCLEAR” #502 01/05/2024)

”End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”

LLAW’s THOUGHTS & COMMENTS :

Tonight I want to tell you, even you of the utmost integrity, how worthless laws, constitutions, magna cartas, rules, agreements, contracts, sworn statements, handshakes, and every other form of written agreement among nations, territories, states, cities, groups, parties, and two humans such “contracts of honor” actually are.

They are political and financial tools that require the honor of those humans involved at whatever level such an agreement is made — from two major countries or territories down to the handshake between two well-intentioned individual humans — even including marriage for love or sexual purposes. The simplest way to appraise them in both terms of value and honor is to say, “they were made to be broken”. This once-upon-a-time ‘small’ problem with the ‘integrity’ or ‘word’ of men is what every dispute on our free and open planet Earth has always been all about. Such dishonesty of character has always been the problem between and among all aspects of humanity, and it is never going to stop, regardless of how politically or financially binding an agreement is made, nor by whom, so long as the ‘status quo’ remains.

And yet here we are, world(s) divided by political, ethnical, racial, religious, financial, geographical, geological, and otherwise argumentative differences, suddenly facing the prospect of annihilating ourselves with world-wide nuclear war, yet our attempt to resolve it all, even knowing what WWIII means, we continue to worry about our various and sundry past, present, and future “political agreements” that have absolutely no honorable humanitarian sanctity in them at all when we get down to the roots of the problems, basing our entire attempt to live together in peace on man-made absolutely worthless lies and acceptance of propaganda by each and every one of us because we all want to be the ones in control (at every social level) of our single-minded concepts of what “life and life-style” is all about — meaning yours is wrong and ours is right — so let’s destroy each other to prove we were right. There is not, when the chips are down, any such thing as letting adversarial ‘by-gones’ be ‘by-gones’ — in other words, there is no such thing as an iron-clad agreement among human egos, self-importance, and self-aggrandizement at any level.

And who are those elected or self-appointed political leaders we have at the top of each country’s pyramids of finance (aka greed) and power (aka despotism)? They are the ones who fit the definition of what “Capitalism” is all about. It has always been this way, but now it is like the biblical concept of “Armageddon”.

It is also like Pogo has long said, “We have found the enemy and he is us.” It is also, as Albert Einstein wrote in a letter to President Harry Truman, “"I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". Of course he knew what the weapons would be even then, and he also knew what the price to humanity (not to mention all other life) would be, too . . .

We have one possible solution of our own to stop this dystopian doomsday from happening — probably in the near future — and that is to band together (the nearly 8 billion of us) as a free people and denounce what these despotic madmen at the top of our earthly countries and societies are doing and somehow do away with them and/or their influence and power. The only other possibility is for some kind of intervention from unknown help because we were not able to take care of these issue(s) by ourselves . . . ~llaw
