LLAW’s NUCLEAR VIEWS, ISSUES & COMMENTS, Wednesday, (11/06/2024)
To my Readers,
In our collective ignorance and apathy we have invited our own demise . . .
I have, for 803 consecutive days, including today, each and every day warned the world while (often struggling in my effort to allow my message(s) to be posted without violating my free-speech rights, in my effort to educate my fellow humans everywhere around the world about the present and coming dramatic life-threatening dangers from the nuclear devastation we are facing.
Because the United States of America’s thoughtless public citizens have voted to add Donald J. Trump to the mix of those others like him — self-aggrandizing, insane, violent, dangerous, power mongering authoritarian dictators — to the combined madness of those few who have the power to use nuclear weapons of mass destruction to destroy our only Earthly home, including ourselves and other innocent life, simply by authorizing with a single coded nuclear football at their personal discretion, this will be my final post from this blog that has been intended to awaken and advise humanity everywhere (including working on a united world “blueprint” of how we might avoid our own demolition commonly known as extinction.
I have gratuitously spent well over two years of my own time and expense providing verifiable media information to use for your, as a reader, individual personal knowledge and edification while at the same time providing a daily commentary of my own thoughts and opinions commensurate with my own background and understanding of “All Things Nuclear” and its mission. Now that I, in my own personal opinion, see that we Americans have elected a mentally unstable President for a second time, obviously indicating our lack of cognitive knowledge, I must accept the fact that my long daily effort has failed. I had hoped that one day I would find a voluntary sponsor and media partner to help me continue and expand on the quantity and quality with this extremely important effort of humanitarianism. Instead, today I realize that, with Trump’s election, it was all a useless pipe dream.
I wish all of you who were loyal part-time readers and supporters from the several posting sources I have used each day —with your constant encouragement — the very best future possible despite the fact that millions of others have overridden our hopes for a united peaceful world where we all could live as one. (Thank you John Lennon for the last word.) ~llaw

I have skipped the “About” section and simply posted my last compilation of TODAY’S NUCLEAR WORLD’S NEWS on this Wednesday, (11/06/2024). You may want to read the Trump election stories available today — particularly those from “Reuters.” Just the headlines should give you 2nd thoughts if you voted for this man . . .
