Land of Whispering Pine 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

It's mostly cloudy, 🌫 like a morning, with the sun trying valiantly to shine through but failing so far. I guess for now it's time for the angels to decide who they're going to wee-wee on. Or like Mom used to say when it was sunny and raining at the same time, the devil was fighting with the angels. Or when it was thundering, she would say it's only the angels bowling. I say it's going to clear up and be cloudy with sunny showers. 🤔 There you go, if you're a lizard, 🦎 ya better get all the sun ☀️ you can while you can, eh!

Grandma gits frozen toes jest standin' at the door, lookin' out at the snow, and says I ain't a goin' out until half-past April.

Tell me something, especially you people sitting on the fence. Why would a sane person come up with such an idea as Project 25?

They, for one, have no humane values. To them, We, the People, were just numbers in a labor camp or detainees for use as laborers to run their factories. Basically, you would owe your soul to the company store.

That's how it was in America from 1870 to 1920, the last time they tried it. It didn't work. I don't really know where ethics go when people who worship that twisted cross also have twisted minds.

That wasn't enough; it was again tried with the Nazi movement from 1933 to 1945. During both of those, the people suffered terribly! WHATFOR??? WHAT DO THEY GAIN FROM DOING THIS BIZARRO HATRED and blood lust 💩 ???

One twisted mind, as loose as a goose after drinking too much wobbly Kool Aid, staggered his way out of the goose pen but didn't have enough screws to construct the plan that he needed to become The Tin Can god Of The Universe. He found an accomplice with brains, yeah, the one they planted in Frankenstein, who unsuspectedly became the hidden puppet master. Now we find ourselves in a dilemma. What do you do with such a two-headed beast? Beware, the Frankenstein monster has been building its reputation for decades, with each accomplishment being louder and more reprehensible than the last.

I believe that if we ever get a normal, sane society again, we are in dire need of having more psychiatric and mental health centers for mental health consumer programs. More of both rehab and recovery programs. Also for alcohol and drug abuse programs.

We are all born with a blank slate, with only the consciousness of what's around us. As our conscious capability grows, we begin to distinguish between black and white and develop a sense of what's right and wrong. But some psychiatric patients were born without the conscious mind of knowledge of good and evil, like that analytical part of the brain was missing entirely, what psychiatry calls the standard scale of consciousness and sensory development. Therefore, we learn from experience from what we feel inside, not just by observation.

While they, psychopaths, have a vacuum of emotions and feelings inside, that vacuum found in the psychopath's mind may be an empty vessel filled with personal accumulated idealizations.

In comparison, an open mind, or of normal spectrum, seeks the light of the evolving consciousness, like the moth attracted to the lightbulb of potentialities.

The psychopaths' concept of the outside world simply copies someone's concept of what they feel by the expression of how they react to that particular occasion or disclosure.

Challenges in defining "normal"

It's a spectrum, not a fixed point. Mental health exists on a spectrum, and normalcy is seen as a range of functioning rather than a single, fixed state.

North Korean submunition found in drone used to attack Ukraine, report finds

North Korean submunition has been found in a drone that was used to attack Ukraine last month, according to a new report, providing further insight into the extent that Pyongyang is helping Russia wage war on its Eastern European neighbor.

The modified submunition – a small part of a larger weapon – was recovered by Ukrainian authorities following an attack on the port city of Kherson in September, the UK-based investigative organization Conflict Armament Research (CAR) said. It was marked with Korean characters, some of which referenced the Juche calendar, which counts the years after the birth of North Korea’s founding leader, Kim Il Sung.

According to those characters, the submunition was produced in the year of Juche 89, or 2000 according to the Gregorian calendar, the report said...

Lead levels in protein powder, shakes flagged by Consumer Reports

The toxic heavy metal can build up in the human body over time from food

Some protein powders and shakes tested by Consumer Reports contained levels of lead, a heavy metal, that experts say could raise the risk of long-term health problems.

Scientists hired by Consumer Reports, an independent non-profit based out of the U.S., tested 23 popular protein products, and found lead levels ranging from zero to 7.7 micrograms per serving — above the stringent limits set by the state of California, but below U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standard for females of childbearing age. There is no safe level of lead for human consumption, though it finds its way into many foods because lead is present in the environment...

Sudden closing of AGM Renovations leaves customers with few places to turn

Marketplace travels to Europe to get answers for customers out thousands of dollars

A Marketplace investigation into the sudden closing of a high-profile home renovation company has uncovered unfinished projects, allegations of fraud and an ongoing police investigation. The company is Ontario-based AGM Renovations, and the search for answers took Marketplace journalists thousands of kilometres overseas to find the man behind the company.

The situation, said one politician, reveals the weaknesses of a system with too few viable options for consumers burned by company closures. Those options include pursuing the matter in court, going back to the company for a refund and contacting a provincial consumer protection authority for help. In the case of AGM’s closing, each option comes with its own challenges. Drew Carmichael hired AGM Renovations to work on his Oshawa, Ont., home in August 2024. The company was supposed to convert his basement into a legal apartment. But by the end of September, his $150,000 loan was maxed out and there wasn’t much to show for it...

Canadian charities complicit in helping fund Israeli settlement movement in West Bank, critics say

Charitable activities contrary to Canadian foreign policy and run afoul of tax rules

The small hospital room in the Palestinian city of Yatta in the occupied West Bank is crammed with visitors. Their voices are hushed, their quiet presence the main source of comfort. Khader Nawaj’ah lies on his side, his face bruised and swollen and his left hand in a cast. A sheet hangs between him and the bed his wife, Fatima, is on, her broken arm in a sling.

The Nawaj’ahs say they were sleeping outside their home in the Palestinian village of Khirbet Susiya in the South Hebron Hills to find some respite from the heat. They woke to the sound of their own screams as Israeli settlers from a nearby outpost attacked them...
