End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”

LAW’s Nuclear World News’ Image and/or Lead Story for Today . . .
This image always depresses me when I run across it, and if Nuclear Energy and nuclear weapons “deterrence” keeps growing — as anticipated these days — a professionally networked nuclear attack from an unstable foreign country — or even a well-organized tyrannical organization — could spell the end of life on planet Earth beginning in the Eastern United States and Canada, and, as the wind blows, deathly fallout all around the globe.
Much like the old nuclear death movie “On the Beach”, Australia and New Zealand might be saved for a short time, but only delayed as a last hurrah for for those who are there, but it would be only a matter of time before most all life would be exterminated, possibly with not even a nuclear war at all.
Nuclear power plants and the never-ending “deterrent” weapons stockpiles of mass destruction are not “toys” and the slightest mistake (as has been close to causing an eerie example in Ukraine and its European and Asian surrounds, including the guilty party, Russia, attacks on Ukraine power plants has been under threat more than a dozen times in much the same manner as described above . We must rid ourselves of “All Things Nuclear’ . . ~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\
