LLAW’s CONCERNS & COMMENTS, Monday, (03/11/2024)

Okay now! I just watched the Academy Awards (Oscars) for the 1st time in maybe a decade because I wanted desperately to see the nuclear bomb-building Manhattan Project movie (that we all need to see) that put an abrupt ending to World War II at the expense of common everyday citizens living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan and, indeed, “Oppenheimer” did win the Best Picture award.

That made my old heart and fretful mind happy! And to my mind we all need to watch it now, or again and again, until we finally understand what all things nuclear can and will do to humanity and all the rest of life on planet Earth if all things nuclear are allowed to continue as a part, no matter how small, of our world(s).

So in the here and now, a tragic historical novel my co-author and I wrote can be read and used to compare, on a much smaller scale of course, that makes the concept of nuclear war, much easier to understand what and how it can affect humanity, So, I urge you to buy the books, read them and consider the impact that mankind’s greed and desire for power over others can have on those others.

I just want to see and somehow ensure that our own recently published novel “The Sweetwater Conspiracy” (in two parts and two books) be read by as many of us as possible so that we can easily relate to the problem with war, no matter on what scale it happens, and also for the story to become a movie production like no other because this19th century story is a predecessor ‘nuclear anything’ demonstrating what powerful men then and now wearing the blinders of greed over their collective third eyes can do to this beautiful world of love and life that Mother Earth granted us free of charge, and yet we made a literal trash can out of it, mainly in a few hundred years, and are now trying to finish the destruction, for which we will likely pay the ultimate price unless we do a prompt about face and create a new world peace and order that is, without doubt, our one and only way to survive. And even with that mandatory global effort the chance of survival has become questionable.

Why do I want our historical novel ‘The Sweetwater Conspiracy” to be popular enough to rate a Pulitzer Prize, and to be filmed and nominated for an Academy Award and winning? It has nothing to do with me personally, nor my co-author either. though it might help pay a few bills, llolloll. The answer is that it is the same story of power-crazed, money hungry, politically obsessed men failing to understand that the feminine way on this Earth and that their inability to make world peace — because men will never agree with global unity — is the only way we can avoid self-extermination and manage to survive as a species.

This almost identical scenario to ” Oppenheimer” on an easier to follow and understand scale of the gunslinging settling up of old west of the late 1800s.”The Sweetwater Conspiracy” tells the amazing story of why the male of our species, when they’re not shooting themselves, with their narrow minds full of self-importance, greed, misogyny and their complete domination of the young single female at the risk of her life who might somehow compete with them and their cattle is decidedly not to be allowed the same opportunities and freedoms of the man who does the same thing, no matter how more modest or practical than those men’s felonious claims to sprawling free-graze range, who insist on ruling their territorial ranches with no competition from anyone, especially of the feminine persuasion.

The story is built on the true story of an atrocity that even in the late 1880s in the Wyoming Territory of the United States of America, and then purposely spread across our country and on to Britain, an interested Germany and beyond, by a few men’s fabrications full of outright lies upon lies that the American History books still to this day report as an historical fact that in reality is nothing at all close to the truth.

We need to fix that huge historical mistake for the sake of one woman’s name that was, under duress, intentionally given to her by the Wyoming Press who were intimidated into reporting the fervent fabrications to protect a few wealthy cattlemen with deranged visions of some kind of eternal power and wealth, not much different than our powerful leaders in this nuclear world of today, rather than in the cattle world of the old wild west that eventually required federal Marshall Law for the first and hopefully the last time over the range wars between the wealthy ranchers and the dirt-poor homesteaders who Abraham Lincoln had innocently encouraged to “go west” in order to settle up the country.

This tale is identical to what we are doing in today’s world(s), but on a global scale compared to the mountains, valleys, and rivers of Wyoming and surrounds. Male dominance didn’t work then and it doesn’t work now, and it will never work . . .

This novel, in two parts and two books, will tell you why . . . Let’s make it a Pulitzer prize winning story, and the Academy Award winning movie sometime in the next few years. I want to live to see it happen, and so should you, because you-all collectively, not me alone, are the only ones who can do it by supporting it . . .
