PEACENIK for life! Updated August 05 2021

I started this blog on January 11 2019 and ended it on August 05 2021 and updated it many times a week during that time. This blog was to show how we were on the brink of a possible nuclear war at any moment. Every time a country would build a new nuclear weapon or threaten another country I would post it here; for example. What happened was; it broke my heart. I could not stand posting such things any more. After over a year and a half of work it turned me into a PEACENIK for life. I still have the html in case; until then I am done with war. The meaning of PEACENIK is an opponent of war; specifically : one who participates in antiwar demonstrations.: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/peacenik

SIGN NOW: Urge Japan to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Survivors of the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are joining with people around the world to urge the government of Japan to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Today, many citizens in the world, even in countries possessing nuclear weapons, understand nuclear weapons as inhumane and unnecessary. In fact, the use of nuclear weapons is banned under international law. Now is the time for the government of Japan to lead the world from prohibition toward the elimination of nuclear weapons.

Sign the Union of Concerned Scientists' petition and urge the government of Japan to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. >>: https://www.dailykos.com/campaigns/petitions/sign-now-urge-japan-to-sign-and-ratify-the-treaty-on-the-prohibition-of-nuclear-weapons

Hibakusha Earnestly Desire Elimination of Nuclear Weapons

At present, humanity stands at the crossroads of whether to save our blue planet with all living things on it as it is or to go along the road of self-destruction.

The two atomic bombs dropped on August 6th and 9th 1945 by the US forces totally destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in an instant and killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of people without discrimination. With corpses charred black, bodies with their skins peeled off and with lines of people tottering in silence, a hell on earth emerged. Those who narrowly survived soon collapsed one after another. For more than 70 years since then, we have struggled to live on, afflicted by the delayed effects and by anxiety about the possible effects of radiation on our children and grandchildren. Never again do we want such tragedies to be repeated.

After 11 years of silence following the A-bomb suffering, Hibakusha assembled in Nagasaki in August 1956 and founded Nihon Hidankyo, the Japan Confederation of A-and H-bomb Sufferers Organizations. There we pledged that we would work to "save humanity from its crisis through the lessons learned from our experiences, while at the same time saving ourselves".

Since then we have continued appealing to the world that "there should never be another Hibakusha." This is the cry of our soul. Wars and conflicts are still going on in the world, and many lives of innocent people are lost. Nuclear weapons are being used to threaten others. There are also moves to develop new nuclear weapons. The destructive power of existing nuclear weapons, which number well over 10 thousand, amounts to that of tens of thousands of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs combined. Nuclear weapons are the "weapons of the devil". They could wipe out the human race and all other creatures. They could destroy the environment and turn the globe into a dead planet.

Human beings have prohibited the use, development, production, and possession of biological and chemical weapons by treaties and protocols. Why do we hesitate to prohibit nuclear weapons, which are far more destructive than these weapons?

We, the Hibakusha, call on all State Governments to conclude a treaty to ban and eliminate nuclear weapons. The average age of the Hibakusha now exceeds 80. It is our strong ' desire to achieve a nuclear-weapon-free world in our lifetime so that succeeding generations of people will not see hell on earth ever again.

You, your families and relatives, or any other people should not be made Hibakusha again. We believe that your signatures appended to this appeal will add up to the voices of hundreds of millions of people around the world and move international politics. They will finally save the future of our blue planet and all life on it. We earnestly appeal to you to append your signature to this petition.
