End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft
Sep 22, 2025
The flowering of a spreading evil comes from the roots of a poisonous seed . . . ~llaw
On My Mind Today:
I have long wondered if any of us would exist today had we been armed the way we are these days in a war against the kind of future Hitler had in mind for humanity back in the 1940’s WWII.
I also wonder if we are fast-tracking today on the verge of repeating that history and if the final result will be a victory for the desired existential human cause. I do hope I am dead wrong, but I suspect this time around that the goals of power-crazed so-called “leaders” will be successful — not only because of the two original nuclear bombs that played a cruel but purposeful and final role then — but also the fact that there are nine power-crazed international or “leaders” or “rulers” whose nations have more than enough nuclear weapons of mass destruction to destroy all life on Mother Earth thousands of times over.
So it is that I — and millions of others who are alive, aware, alert, and awake — worry about the impending possibility of destroying ourselves along with the rest of life on planet Earth.
As food-for-thought I have borrowed a very important Facebook Post, rather than a current nuclear news story, from my dear Canadian friend and co-author of an 1880’s Old West Wyoming cowboy tale based on the insane reality of what overzealous self-important and self-aggrandized men can do without even a life-ending flinch to anyone who may feel — in their own wrong-headed, overzealous, demented minds — that their personal belongings, territory and its boundaries have been violated.
Hitler apparently felt that way, too, and so do some, if not all, of the “leaders” and their sycophants of today’s nine nations who can easily end life on planet Earth with little more than pressing a single button . . . ~llaw
Today’s Featured Story:
So here, for what it’s worth now and on into the future, with my deeply sincere thanks to my dear friend and previous co-author is her thoughtful food-for-thought recent Facebook Post that we should carefully consider:
“Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) is on my mind.
He is remembered for “First They Came,” a poem… to show us how heavy (his remorse) weighed on his conscience…or to awaken humanity’s empathy.
Legend says that at first, he supported the Nazis, probably he also was antisemitic…until those muthafuckas came and took control of the churches ….and only then he dared to speak out but it was far too late.…”
The rest we know in his poem…
Would speaking earlier have spared him and countless others? Perhaps. A powerful voice with a congregation could have joined many smaller voices to oppose tyranny before it grew too strong.
Let this inspire me to not make any such similar mistakes…and this post is a start …. (for me to go boldly, bravely, badass-ly ever after)….of me adding my voice to the mix. And hoping against hope that we let go of our hate for each other NOW for civil war weakens our own system, distract us…..and there is definitely a lot of hate in my fb stream, enough to keep us all in Fear: fight, flight and freeze instincts…
Yikes. ~ Amy Indira Dio Ramdass

Hey, Dio,
Sorry to take so long to get back to you here, but I’ve been barely keeping my head above water with all the odd tasks that keep trying to push me under, llolloll! But by “today’s arms” I was only referring to “nuclear arms” controlled by nations rather than political denominations. If we (the USA) had had arms in the late 30s and early 40s, what became WWII may have never begun. We were just a few years too late to allow “deterrence” to overcome his own idea of what world domination and war was . . .
Thanks, for your question, and I should have clarified what I was meaning . . .
