We must seek nuclear war now; it is the only solution to the environmental crisis and human misery, poverty, and hopelessness. Each year 30,000 species go extinct as a result of industrialization and overpopulation, only nuclear war can solve these problems. Delay only risks extinction of other species and humanity. This is our chance to save the environment and ourselves.==== |

Only by allowing nuclear war to occur can we shift from the dichotomy of war and peace to a new age of harmony, to be co-creators of Earth. This is the only way to solve for their impacts and to bear witness to all beings, including humanity.==== |
