LLAW’s ‘All Things Nuclear’ #527 (01/31/2024)
“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity"
LLAW’s THOUGHTS & COMMENTS:
Tomorrow night I will begin my fictional tale about what can happen to a world of ‘all things nuclear’ in this space to write in serial form new and unique episodes of what I call “El Nuclear Diablo”, adding perhaps one chapter a week here for you to follow. But still the nightly categorical Digest of “All Things Nuclear” with the best consolidated information anywhere for everyone interested in the ongoing world(s) life-threatening use of nuclear energy and the threats of nuclear war will be here for you every evening.
For the 1st time in more than two years I have the time to divert my full attention from the writing, editing, and publishing of a new set of two novels from the old west of the 1880s going to press late this week or early next week. They are titled “The Sweetwater Conspiracy: The Legend of Cattle Kate” with subtitles for volume I “The Emergence” and “The Conspiracy” for volume II. If you are an old west genre fan, this two-volume tome will fill your appetite beyond any western story you have read since Larry McMurtry’s “Lonesome Dove” back in 1985. Look for it at your favorite online Bookstore, including Amazon, in the coming week or so.
But I will also continue to comment from my points of view about current events in between episodes. If the “Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (which Albert Einstein was instrumental in forming) is good enough to believe “There is still time and that we must ‘demand change”, then who am I to disagree. So long as I am able to see, read and write, and think, I will never give up on the chance to see a nuclear-free world full of hope, unity, love, and peace.
But now back to the “All Things Nuclear" issues provided by my own personal digest courtesy of Google . . . ~llaw
