“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

On My Mind Today:

I have a very important question or two for today: Has the entire world gone completely bonkers? Is genocide the most important thing on the minds of our international leaders and half the world-population that follow these power-starved and overfed oppressive tyrants who control us like pawns in a chess game?

It is becoming more obvious every day that WWIII is on the minds of the world’s abusive dictators who are constantly refuting any form of a democratic-republic form of government. It’s as if they are on the verge of taking out at least half of the world population as if the excessive number of sentient human beings is too much to tolerate — perhaps like the idea of a necessary “thinning of the herd?”.

The problem seems to be for this ruthless cadre of selfish men is something like, “well, if we destroy half the human population, how do we ensure that we save ourselves and those who serve us? A nuclear war is necessary to accomplish the task, but it may be too much, although other means of thinning, like conventional war doesn’t accomplish the ultimate goal.”

And so it is that the world-wide fear of an over-crowded mass of humanity is protected by a flimsy thing called “nuclear deterrence” — where one nuclear power fears the others along the nuclear-armed pecking order as we annually strengthen our nuclear weapons of mass destruction to avoid exterminating us all as well as ourselves, including those so-called “world leaders” and their subservient cronies. Such an unwritten agreement, as “deterrence” will bankrupt humanity and cannot continue on forever because the weapons themselves will become the victorious force controlled by AI that will care nothing about humanity, whether or not they are at the top of the food chain, and those at the top already know that so sooner or later they will have to react.

So it will be that one desperate individual mad-man from one desperate country who will give up on the “deterrence” concept and use his country’s nuclear weapons of mass destruction to attack and summarily end whatever country he believes will be his country’s most immediate threat.

Of course that will incite the other mad-men to unleash their country’s nuclear weapons and that will, in a matter of minutes, become the end of the world as we know it.

As Albert Einstein said, “”I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” And that pretty much speaks to our future returning us to a “cavemen” society . . . llaw
