The head of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons offered a stark warning of a “nuclear crisis” on Sunday while accepting the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the organization. Beatrice Fihn, the executive director of the organization, said the world is just one “impulsive tantrum away” from the “deaths of millions” from nuclear weapons. In comments apparently referencing ongoing tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, Fihn said a “moment of panic” or a “bruised ego” could mean the end of the human race. Several survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings attended Sunday’s ceremony in Oslo, and one of them, Setsuko Thurlow, jointly accepted the prize with Fihn. Thurlow, a leading campaigner for ICAN, recounted her own experience of surviving the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima. “I repeat those words that I heard called to me in the ruins of Hiroshima: ‘Don’t give up. Keep pushing. See the light? Crawl toward it,” she said. ICAN, which unites hundreds of NGOs working to ban nuclear weapons, was named as the winner of the prize in October.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Paul Craig Roberts
Dear Readers: It is December and time for my quarterly call for your support of your site. I do this site for you. I have no ego reasons for the website. In fact, it uses up my retirement years when I could otherwise relax.
From time to time some of you admonish me for describing our plight without providing a solution. Possibly, there is no solution. If there is a solution, it won’t be found until enough Americans arise from insouciance and escape from the Matrix to be concerned. My job is to inform. In my column below, I cite former Defense Secretary William Perry who says, “If we are to prevent this catastrophe, the public must understand what is happening.”
First comes the understanding part. Then the solution part. We are far from sufficient understanding, and we might be prevented from achieving an understanding. When the Clinton regime concentrated 90 percent of the US media in six mega-corporations, it gave the ruling elite control over explanations. The only information diversity that we have is provided via the Internet, and there is plenty of unreliable information on Internet sites. It is a big effort and takes time to learn what sites are trustworthy.
Moreover, the elites are now moving against the Internet. One effort was to create the anonymous PropOrNot site and to use it to brand this one and 200 others “Russian agent/dupe.” But the elites have moved far beyond going after individual sites into controlling the Internet overall. The plan that is unfolding is to destroy “net-neutrality.” If you don’t know what that means, look it up. What they intend to do is to make it difficult to use google to find disapproved articles and sites such as this one. If you do find the sites, they will open very slowly. They will discredit legitimate news sources, such as RT, by branding them “foreign propaganda” and forcing them to register as “foreign agents.” They can intimidate sites and push them in a “mainstream” direction. They can intimidate readers who persist in searching for truthful explanations. Once the ruling elite takes control of the Internet, they will control all expanations.

NO NEED TO BE MAN..JUST OPERATE ON THE TRUTH:
the survival of any biological specie is its fitness to do so. if it doe not survive ti is due to changing conditions to which it could not, cannot adapt.
and in every case all species as well and universal environmental movements contribute to environmental change..which means we are the principal authors of the changes that may consume us. there is nothing at all that I know of that threatens the humans species as we speak that we ourselves did not make and cause.
we can change it while there is still time. but the time appears to be running out. we may not change it due to the relationship of the social classes we have evolved to this date. a minority has the power of plunder over the majority and will not give it back..which it must if we are to survive. we must have a social democracy that evolves the collective behaviors humanity must engage in to win continual survival in nature
that is the principle or demand or driver of human existence..nothing is given..WE MUST WIN OUR SURVIVAL EVERY SINGLE DAY WE ARE ALIVE TO ENSURE TOMORROW WILL COME FOR US!
so you see the equation? it is as simple as that: understand nature and its laws and bring ourselves into line with what is required for going on to give ourselves the best chance we may have..to go on learning more and more to see if there is an open ended answer for us.
chances are there is not for nothing that is finite can become infinite...as far as we know at this time. but one never knows...and human knowledge is still mini in comparison to what is knowable about existence, in existence. we know that for sure..so one never knows. but we must go on and that is not a given..but is an earned result of our own behavior and sense of purpose
we are arseholes as we speak..dangerous arsholes..but only to ourselves and the other lifeforms helpless in human behavior.
that's it as far as I see man. humanity will solve this problem or die. it has nutten to do with god. its us. we must prove our fitness to live and WE ARE OUR OWN TEST AND CHALLENGE. WE MUST OVERCOME OURSELVES..AND IF WE FAIL WE COMMIT HARI KARI.
one definition of nature for sure is that it nature is a huge self correcting mechanism that sorts itself out as it goes. god is not anything but is everything..including us. as everything god is huge and its movements massive, cataclysmic, terrible..but so only from the human perspective..which is a relative and subjective perspective..relevant to us only. whatever happens in nature ,or nature does, or is done in nature produces results that allows nature to go on.
fire burns out a whole state, thousands die, many species are consumed. forests, vegetation, all are done and what is the result...ahhhhh more to come, often the same but also different and maybe superior to what was lost.
humans now know of ancient 'catastrophe' and their consequences..or rather their results. the terms consequences and catastrophe are human terms only relevant only to us. the ancient events were in the cosmos so vast that it means nothing to the human mind..beyond our ken so to speak. but the universe went on producing more from the events then and those since..of what we know.
if humans blow this planet what would be the results?
science already has a picture or can work out one for some soon after future but that's it I imagine. we know all the elements the globe is made up of and as they blow what they would be turned into, how hot it would be and what these would turn into once cooled. then that process continues and who knows what the pressures will be and what these will shape in time. but the universe will continue and produce effect consistent with its own means of going on according to what is possible in the mix
fuck humanity! humanity is part of god as god expresses itself all the time seeking its own evolution. all is part of god from the most small and mini to the largest object..god/nature in its own evolution. if god keeps a record of its doings, and I am sure it does, no doubt humans will reappear at some point, somewhere in the universe. but if god is everything such life forms are dangers only to themselves and not to god. god merely goes on, by its own law, natural law, seeking more ways to express itself and survive..in the way of its existence, forever and ever, without end..permanent evolution
so what is there to be scared off? nutten! not even the white arseholes who run the world and think they are everything. they are not everything. they are the most sorry skunts who ever lived..pathetic, useless and absolutely ridiculous
