“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”

LLAW’s NUCLEAR ISSUES & COMMENTS, Saturday, (09/07/2024)
Finally! I am back after an ugly 3 day hiatus over the failure of a new equipment update that was broken en-route (or before) and finally I screamed loud enough to get an Internet serviceman out here to replace the failed Router/and or Modem. It took him all of less than 30 minutes to upgrade all 3 of the down computers that I use to prepare this and other Posts, Blogs, or work on my next planned novel(s).
The waiting and thumb-twiddling, though, made me realize how useless I am to the world without my computerized writing equipment, which also gives me the increased vision I need to see in front of my face. I could do none of this without my computers that are networked along with my iPad and Galaxy phone, all of which, especially the 3 PC’s, to manage to get my “work” done each day.
I am sorry, mostly for myself of course, that I now have failed to provide an “All Things Nuclear” blog post for the first time in 742 consecutive days. If nothing else, it demonstrates how devoted I am to my cause of creating awareness of the life-threatening capabilities of “All Things Nuclear”. So I have set a record for myself that perhaps I may be able to break during the next couple of years, plus a few days . . .
By Monday, I will be back on track, but today I have added the IAEA weekly posts that should have been available yesterday, and there are many frightening articles in this evening’s “LLAW’S ALL THINGS NUCLEAR” RELATED MEDIA” below. I will leave it to you to pick out the best of frightening litter. ~llaw
