“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity."
The “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” have added a 5th Horseman to spread the Word
LLAW’s CONCERNS & COMMENTS, Tuesday, (03/19/2024)
We absolutely have to learn the difference between Political and Capitalistic fairy tales and actual facts and truths and how the two opposing concepts of human speech are virtual opposites of human communication necessary in order to survive or face extinction.
“Propaganda” will serve to send us all to early graves if we can't see the differences. Other than the usual "political" and "cultural" propaganda, even more importantly at the moment, there is the false concept of creating more weapons of mass destruction to enable a world-wide so-called "Deterrence" avoidance of nuclear war through "World Fear" instead of "World Peace" through peaceful common sense and respect for others without prejudice.
Common courtesies of civility and empathy toward all humanity rather than the insane idea threatening nuclear war as well as the also insane industry-fabricated environmental "value" of these potential stationary nuclear weapons of mass destruction, innocently called nuclear power plants, presently being falsely advertised as the savior to the global warming/climate change issue, are both deceitful fairy tales which are on the cusp of destroying humanity as well as all other life on our beautiful and bountiful planet Earth. We are being played for the suckers that we are.
And if you extrapolate what you just read from a small 'neighborhood gang’ to a global gang of 'world leaders' (there are 9 of them at the moment) with huge gangs in every country on nearly every continent, and none of the leaders are representative of the gangs of the other world leaders, and then consider the scale of fear and force attempting to inflict their huge gang's will and way on all the other worldly gangs.
It is precisely the same thing as the neighborhood gang, only on a global scale with unlimited force. And these world-sized gang leaders all have instant access to the same ultimate use of force, plus they are caught up in their own egotistical self-importance and self-aggrandizement and are dictators or otherwise authoritarian who use a smaller part of the their gang (e.g. the military) to protect them from both their own gang and everyone else's gangs, too.
They lie and threaten one another every day, and feed their propaganda to not only their own gang, but everyone else's gang, too. It's those same four (now five) “Horsemen of the Apocalypse”, and we all know what Apocalypse means.
What do we have then? Utter chaos . . .~llaw
A comment or two from me and why I do this blog as a nightly Post to anyone who wants to listen:
I was in the army stationed in South Korea when the Cuban missile crisis began in mid-October of 1962. Today's nuclear crisis is much more serious than the Cuban missile crisis ever was or could have been. Both Kennedy and Kruschev knew there would be no nuclear war, but now it's not just about nuclear war, which could happen any day now, but also about the plethora of nuclear power plants that could well become also used as nuclear weapons of mass destruction as well as nuclear bombs.
I personally spent a part of three decades in the nuclear industry business, and knew well the propaganda and the lies (it is all about Capitalism), and I left it after the Three Mile Island near-meltdown fiasco, much of which is still being hidden from public knowledge. But nuclear propaganda now is enveloping the entire world.
Also, I have no fear of any of it, and no one should because fear is self-defeating, and because fear is not going to resolve the problem, yet our governmental leaders use ‘fear’ or ‘deterrence’ as defensive protection against nuclear war by constantly building more and more powerful nuclear weapons behind their threats. But if humanity is to survive we need to stop what our so-called "world leaders" are doing in the process of ending it all because if they can't take it with them, neither can we.
I write and Post this nightly blog or column about what is happening in the nuclear world, and try to educate the public about the dangers of both nuclear war and nuclear power and how uranium fuel is the evil ignition of it all. They are both weapons of mass destruction and certain death.
As Albert Einstein said, the only way to stop it is to first have World Peace. And I have long agreed with him and many other scientists and other humanitarians who have known this since the early 1940s. I was born in 1941, and still remember as a toddler my parents’ grief of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to stop World War II by taking hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian lives with our two atomic bombs.
Today there are some 20,000+ nuclear bombs in evil hands around the world, and every one of them is almost infinitely more powerfully destructive than the atomic bombs that devastated Japan. So, instead of searching for peace, we hunt down our enemies in order to survive, when all we should have to do is find some kind of reasonable multilateral World Peace among all of us. But we never seem to think of peace as a uniter or unifier, but only war as a world divider.
