On My Mind Today:

Adding to the world news is the possible incredible invasion by something “unknown” from outer space, and the world-wide concerns about “visitors” from other inhabited galaxies and worlds protecting planet Earth from the human race in order to save the beautiful blue planet from us who could easily, according to most all scientific factions and institutions, potentially exterminate humanity by preventing the use of both nuclear energy and/or war as well as our recent move toward Artificial Intelligence.

I will add these incredible and frightening categories to this daily blog when I have corrected my vision problems. In the downtime I have been educating myself as fast and as able as I can to try to separated the “wheat” from the “chaff”. ~llaw

An Important Message from:

Lloyd Albert Williams/Pendergraft, Content Creator . . .

This daily blog post will, for the next several issues at least, contains only the daily compiled LLAW’s Nuclear World News Today for an unknown period without comment or critique because my eyesight has quite suddenly become impossible for me to continue. (Google compiles the category lists from news sources for me automatically during the course of a day, so the articles and stories themselves are not a problem to post, although they are often out of category order, which I will do my best to correct each day.)

But, rest assured, I’m not going away — I am doing everything in my power to remedy the problem with my eyes — and I hope to return to a full daily report, including new, stronger and more internationally important commentary, of “All Things Nuclear” as soon as I am physically able . . . ~llaw\
