Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

I went directly to making the coffee, then headed out to my green space, which is lovely in the morning just as the sun comes up. Not a sound except for a couple of birds. Peaceful. I'm thinking. Such beauty, peace, and silence, along with the golden sun rising over the trees, and the misty blue sky. That is when, in my opinion, one truly comes to understand the essence of nature. The perfect harmony until the noise starts. Man made noise. It's like the news, the silence before you turn on the TV, then the horror movie begins. Get the popcorn, Ma! If you know what I mean. Why couldn't it be the golden sunshine and the birds all the time?

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Deteriorating Human Values

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, how do you know the tree really fell? The tree would know it, and you don't have to know, unless you're a botanist. Then curiosity prevails, and you just can't resist poking it with a stick. That's Science.

But take away all sanity, and you poke the beast, just to make it a more aggressive creature. Then, if you make the beast appear sane, creating confusion left unchecked, you will have an insane asylum for a government and a nation that has normalized aberrant behavior.

Desensitization, demoralization, sadism, and now even pedophilia are becoming a possible legal requisition, labor camps, not just for immigrants, but for whoever they can grab off the street. And the desperate will sell their soul to the company store. This new bizarro system is not only creeping its way around like a cancer, with no restraints, the dam is bursting. ... DEMOCRATS better wake the hell up!

🌺Ω ~VIVE LA RESITANCE~Ω 🌺

Psychologically, dead bodies become only digital figures on the monitor of a video game. Real bodies attract real flies and carry real diseases. With all the AID PROGRAMS being essentially shut down, who's going to collect all the dead bodies in the spring? And who is going to look after the ATOMIC STOCKPILES of missiles? Let them blow up in their silos wherever they sit for lack of maintenance?

If suffering is paying for your sins, then I think my tab at this cheap hotel has been paid in full, and at any other cheap motel along the rest of the way to Saint Peter's Gate.

Just as penance means redeeming oneself for one's wrongs, I have a feeling that it's a rare occasion, and Trumpo and a few of his dunce brigade do not appear to be on that list.

If you get a chance at redemption, you will know it in your heart. Once you know, have at it, Hoss!

Do you remember just sitting under a tree with your knees tucked under your chin and your hands crossed around your legs, idly looking at the bright colored flowers dotting the tall green grass in the field next to you? The birds are singing their merry melody, you feel the warm sun on your cheek, and your hair ruffling in the cool breeze. You close your eyes and daydream of exotic places as you hear the sound of a nearby gull and hear the waves on the beach at your feet. The crickets are chirping in the grass and the cicadas buzzing in the trees above you, and all is well in the world.

BREAKING NEWS:

Brutal punishments are being meted out to Russian soldiers no longer willing to fight for Putin

Russian soldiers call the practice a sacrifice to Baba Yaga, a fearsome witch from Slavic folklore who feasts on her victims.

A Russian serviceman is seen on video being tied up to a tree and abandoned to his fate – possibly death – at the hands of one of Ukraine's large attack drones. Why this is happening is clear from a radio intercept about a similar incident, shared with CNN, in which a Russian commander can clearly be heard ordering a subordinate be tied up in this way as punishment for desertion.

The instruction is given twice: "Hide him somewhere (while the fighting is ongoing) then take him out and tie him to a tree … in the next half hour." A Ukrainian drone battalion commander, says he has observed it happen twice and heard it happening on radio intercepts many more times.

"Any large Ukrainian drone they call Baba Yaga. It spreads terrible panic in these damaged people. For them, it's some kind of scary myth that flies in and kills everyone," the commander, who goes by the callsign Munin, told CNN. The practice is one of a sickening array of battlefield mistreatments recorded on video either by Ukrainian surveillance drones or Russian servicemen and then circulated on social media...

Russian strikes kill 22 civilians in Ukraine despite Trump threats of sanctions

A prison and a medical facility were among the targets struck in civilian areas

Russian glide bombs and ballistic missiles struck a Ukrainian prison and a medical facility overnight as Russia's relentless strikes on civilian areas killed at least 22 people across the country, officials said Tuesday, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to soon punish Russia with sanctions and tariffs unless it stops.

Four powerful Russian glide bombs hit a prison in Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, authorities said. They killed at least 17 inmates and wounded more than 80 others, officials said. In the Dnipro region of central Ukraine, authorities said Russian missiles partially destroyed a three-story building and damaged nearby medical facilities, including a maternity hospital and a city hospital ward. Officials said at least four people were killed, including a 23-year-old pregnant woman, and eight were injured...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that across the country, 22 people were killed in Russian strikes on 73 cities, towns and villages. "These were conscious, deliberate strikes -- not accidental," Zelenskyy said on Telegram...

Hi everyone, I pray that you are all well and blessed on this day. I will be away from the Keyboard for an undetermined time. I have an optometrist's appointment to get new glasses at 9:00 AM, and since we have to be out anyway, we decided to look after a couple more things while we're there.

TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Another crapioly grey morning, still warm and humid, but if the clouds stick around too long, it will chill out, that's what happens here. They get all the storms south of us, bless their souls, we get the 💩 🌫 clouds. I would like to see some more sunny days before fall. We've been cheated out of spring with those four months of March, like February, March, March, March, March, July. At least today I don't have that terrible headache I had yesterday. Paying for somebody's sins, my bag is empty. Not much more is happening here in the Newsroom, so I will proceed with today's discussion.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

What are time and space? Which comes first, time or space?

To explain this phenomenon of time and space, there wouldn't be enough room in one posting even to begin to elaborate on the theory of time and space.

Let us begin with space.

What Is Space:

- Google Search -

Outer space, or simply space, is the expanse that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere and between celestial bodies.[1] It contains ultra-low levels of particle densities, constituting a near-perfect vacuum[2] of predominantly hydrogen and helium plasma, permeated by electromagnetic radiation, cosmic rays, neutrinos, magnetic fields and dust. Background radiation from the Big Bang, is 2.7 kelvins (−270 °C; −455 °F)...

Time:

Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future.[1][2][3] Time dictates all forms of action, age, and causality, being a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.[4][5][6][7] Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.[8]

Time is primarily measured in linear spans or periods, ordered from shortest to longest. Practical, human-scale measurements of time...

It is said that the closer one gets to the center of the universe, where the proposed Big Bang is supposed to have occurred, the greater the red shift. Just as light undergoes a red shift going outwards, everything on that timeline is recorded in that space of time. If you had a powerful enough telescope to look into the past red shift, would you find the Earth there when it was just a ball of gas? It is also stated that information can not be lost

- Google Search -

Information Can Not be Lost:

In physics, the principle that *"information cannot be lost"* refers to the idea that the total amount of information in a closed system remains constant over time. This principle is rooted in the laws of quantum mechanics, which dictate that physical processes are reversible and preserve information. While information might appear to be lost in some physical processes, like the evaporation of a black hole, it is believed to be transferred to another part of the system, or encoded in a different form, rather than truly disappearing.

- Google Search -

Physics "Information Cannot be Lost, like frames in a movie":

In physics, the principle of information conservation suggests that information cannot be truly lost, similar to how the frames in a movie film are always present, though they may be rearranged or encoded differently. This doesn't mean information is always directly accessible or understandable, but rather that the total amount of information in a closed system remains constant. This concept is related to unitarity in quantum mechanics, which ensures that data is preserved during interactions.

- Google Search -

Physics, Cosed System:

In physics, a closed system is a system that does not exchange matter with its surroundings, but can exchange energy. This means that while the total amount of matter within the system remains constant, energy in the form of heat or work can still pass into or out of the system.

Like a giant computer processor processing and storing information in its central computer memory bank, it would seem that at either end goes redshift, going in or out. How can we determine which way is in or out from this point in time and space in the universe, unless it's a universal mind that can be rearranged, like when we change our mind and do it differently, with a sufficient force, such as a black hole?

This universal information could be transformed or changed. I know I'm on the fringe of Sci-fi, but this is as close as I can come to grasping the idea or potential of this hypothesis. However, it doesn't destroy the information; it seems that it transforms it. Part of the neurosynapses of the universe. That's an entirely separate topic for later discussion.

Uncle of 10-year old girl who died of malnutrition in Gaza pleads for more aid

One of the children in Gaza who died of malnutrition on Sunday was ten-year old Noor Ashraf Abu Selaa.

Photographs of her body in Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital showed she was little more than a skeleton when she died. Nearly 90 children have died of malnutrition in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Her uncle told CNN that Noor had been “a lively girl and she became like this because of hunger, thirst and the siege – the siege imposed on us by the Israelis.”

For a while she had survived on meals from local charity kitchens, he said, but the aid blockade meant there were no kitchens still operating. NGOs such as World Central Kitchen have had to cease operations several times because of lack of supplies.

_“Doctors are here, but there is no medicine. No milk. No food,” Ghazi Abu Selaa said._

Jordan and UAE carry out three aid airdrops into Gaza, Jordanian Armed Forces say

Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) carried out airdrops of aid into Gaza a short time ago, their first in months, according to the Jordanian Armed Forces.

“The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) and the United Arab Emirates on Sunday conducted three airdrops to deliver humanitarian aid and food to several locations in the Gaza Strip,” the armed forces said in a statement. The airdrops contained “25 tonnes of food and basic necessities,” the armed forces said.

“These airdrops are a continuation of Jordan’s ongoing efforts, in cooperation with other countries and partner humanitarian organizations, to support the Palestinian people,” it said. Since the start of the war in Gaza, JAF said that it has carried out 127 airdrops, in addition to 267 airdrops conducted in cooperation with other countries.

The Trump administration claims no one has died due to US aid cuts. Our trip to Afghanistan suggests otherwise

The wail of a woman in a floral dress reverberates through the malnutrition ward and down the stuffy hallways of a hospital in eastern Afghanistan: The unfiltered pain of a mother watching her 1-year-old son die. Families huddle on nearby beds, hugging their children a little tighter as they watch the mother crumple to her knees, clutching the motionless body of her baby.

Mohammad Omar had been plagued with medical problems since birth. And it is impossible to tie any one death definitively to aid cuts. But food and medical shortages – exacerbated by drastic United States humanitarian aid cuts in recent months – may have quickened his decline.

Carney tells premiers he'll only sign a U.S. trade deal 'in the best interest of Canadians

PM says he and premiers are working to strengthen Canada as negotiations continue

The prospect of Canada reaching a trade deal with the United States by the Aug. 1 deadline appears uncertain, with Prime Minister Mark Carney insisting his government will only sign a new agreement if there is one worth signing. "The Government of Canada will not accept a bad deal," Carney said in French in Huntsville, Ont., Tuesday. "Our objective is not to reach a deal whatever it costs. We are pursuing a deal that will be in the best interest of Canadians."

When it comes to the prospect of reaching a deal, Carney said "we'll see" and that "complex negotiations" continue. He said if there isn't a deal that works for Canada, his government will "take stock" and consider what to do next.

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Well, it's nice and warm, but no sun, either thick fog or clouds. 🌫 Perhaps that's just as well; otherwise, it would be a lot hotter. ♨️ The temperatures are unusual here. It can be a nice, cool mid-seventies until the clouds disappear, and within minutes, it's up to 98°F. Then, close the windows and turn on the AC time.

I would prefer fresh air 🏔 cooled rather than air conditioning, but my tolerance isn't what it used to be, so says the old Grey Mare. 🫏 Well, Whistle Butt 🐴 wouldn't think too highly of it either; she prefers an air-conditioned 🥶 barn. 🛖 Me, if the temperature drops below 72° F, then I turn into Chilly Willy 🐧🔥.

Enough ot that, my toes are turning blue just thinking about it. There are still about 11 weeks of shirt-sleeve weather left. 😌

🙏 Prayers For The Day 🙏

For the prayer of the day, we may want to give some thought to those who will be homeless and without access to administrative assistance facilities and healthcare this fall in the wonderful country of America. In this land, hope, love, and empathy are dying—the land of Tent Cities. Let us take a moment for prayer and meditation.

I can't say what to do, except to do what you know is right in your heart to bring the country back to sanity. Just do whatever little or much of a part you can do to pet the fat cat backwards.

CULTS

How do cults relate to psychology?

The combination of unresolved trauma, a fragmented sense of self, and the manipulation tactics employed by cult leaders creates a powerful psychological grip on cult members. Breaking free from this grip often requires intensive therapy and support to heal the underlying wounds and rebuild a healthy sense of self.

Psychological Witchcraft:

The idea of "psychological witchcraft" suggests exploring how psychological principles might explain or intersect with practices associated with witchcraft, particularly in the context of belief systems and rituals. This involves examining how concepts like the placebo effect, altered states of consciousness, and the power of suggestion can play a role in the perceived effectiveness of magical practices.

Trump flees Washington controversies for golf-heavy trip to Scotland

Fleeing Washington’s oppressive humidity and nonstop questions over heated controversies, President Donald Trump is once again taking weekend refuge at his golf clubs — this time more than 3,000 miles away in Scotland.

While the White House has called his five-day trip a “working visit,” it’s fairly light on the formal itinerary. Trump is poised to hold trade talks Sunday with the chief of the European Union and is scheduled to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday.

But he’s expected to spend most of his trip out of public view at two of his golf resorts – Trump Turnberry in the west and Trump International about 200 miles away in the north, near his mother’s ancestral homeland...

Gaza airdrops a “distraction and screensmoke,” UNRWA head says

Returning to the topic of airdrops into Gaza now, after CNN’s earlier reporting on the UK’s plan to move forward with deliveries and criticism of the practice from aid agencies.

UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini has just described these aid airdrops as a “distraction & screensmoke” and pleaded with Israel to “open the gates” to trucks instead. “Airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation. They are expensive, inefficient & can even kill starving civilians,” Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), posted on X.

“A manmade hunger can only be addressed by political will. Lift the siege, open the gates & guarantee safe movements,” he said. Lazzarini added that UNRWA has the equivalent of 6,000 trucks in Jordan and Egypt waiting for the green light to enter Gaza via land borders, which he says is a much easier and effective way to get aid supplies into the besieged territory.

“Airdrops will not prevent aid diversion, principled humanitarian assistance will. It reaches those in need,” Lazzarini said...

Fireworks, flashlights and snipers: Attacks on immigration facilities put law enforcement on edge

On the night of July 4, a group of assailants mounted a coordinated attack on an immigration detention facility near Fort Worth, Texas, using vandalism and fireworks to draw officers out and into the sights of two shooters positioned in a line of trees across the street, authorities allege.

Barely three days later, a Michigan man opened fire at a Border Patrol facility nearly 500 miles to the south in McAllen, near the US-Mexico border. The man was able to fire dozens of rounds at officers, one of whom was struck in the knee, before being quickly killed by returning gunfire.

The attacks don’t appear to be directly connected. But amid the continued backlash the agency faces in the wake of the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, they have put officials on edge, prompting them to increase the presence of security officers at the front of Department of Homeland Security facilities, federal officials told -CNN-.

Trump's NASA cuts will 'compromise human safety,' hundreds of employees say in letter

More than 360 current and former NASA workers sign letter, but half remain anonymous due to fear of reprisal

NASA scientists say pending cuts to the space agency could compromise mission safety and pave the way for another tragedy like the 1986 Challenger disaster.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION

DETERMINATION

Suppose we could only remember to lift our spirits on high before we even begin a journey. You cannot do it consistently because you will encounter numerous traffic jams on the way.

Fortunately, there are many great rest stops on that journey. They are there for you to rest, take inventory, replan, and make the necessary corrections on your life's path, then continue till the next rest stop.

Ambitious, inquisitive imagineers, dreamers, and positive thinkers are people who vigorously chase their dreams, like moths to a lamp. Compassion, passion, love, empathy, and ethics are all essential qualities that enable us to connect with the spiritual side of this temporal world.

Plenty of arguing in scientific research, more questions than answers, but all arguments closely follow a standardised mode, many of which were the work of Dr. Albert Einstein, the renowned theoretical physicist. This is a primary requirement for extracting specific scientific data from that bug compared to its ancestral lineage. 😆 "Quantum Mechanics is the Evolution of scientific data, the Quanta. Or Quanta = G-d

The Evolution of the soul would take us to where we are supposed to be. In this reality, you can only follow the Yellow Brick Road, one brick at a time, and to get there, just follow your 💖. But beware of getting lost in the bushes while watering the tulips and ending up in a field of prickly cactus. It's called choices, man! If it doesn't feel right in the solar plexus, stay away, period. Pick a different bush to go water the tulips.

I never had much in the way of patience, so I did most of my learning the hard way, by stubbornness, coming home nearly every day with a scrape here and a bruise there; that was life, brute force. Well, that IS THE HARD WAY. It got me through, but it took a toll on my stomach.

It took me many years until I reached my seventies, when I began to realise that the body parts move a lot slower than the mind does. Unless I intend to waste money on busted stuff and bones, I have to learn to compensate for that loss of coordination.

See! No Trump this time in my discussion, can't waste all of my time on a piece of garbage except happy birthday, you 💁‍♀️ 🚛 🪳 and your 🪳 🪳 🪳 🪳🔺 brigade. I can come up with some good adjectives for this loony bin character that would make his head spin. I wouldn't even have to use words; just emoticons, since he can only read pictures. I could talk circles around that baboon if I had the time to waste on Truth Social, but I don't bother. I wouldn't last five minutes there before I got my walking papers.

And I thank you, the reader, for reading the Tree House News, or I wouldn't be here. I only pray to share an island of rest, contemplation, and read the absurdities in the world, and maybe smile at some of my puns.

Here's what we know about Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell

British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was the ex-girlfriend-turned social companion of Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 to 20 years in federal prison for carrying out a years-long scheme with Epstein to groom and sexually abuse underage girls. She has attempted to appeal her conviction.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell yesterday and said he’ll interview her again today. The meeting comes after a judge declined to release grand jury documents from the criminal probe into Epstein and amid growing backlash against President Donald Trump and his administration for not releasing more information on the Epstein case.

More on Maxwell’s relationship with Epstein:

Maxwell and Epstein are reported to have split in the 1990s, although the socialite remained close to the convicted sex offender, who was facing sex trafficking and other charges at the time of his death in jail in 2019.

• Maxwell’s name was frequently mentioned in unsealed court documents on the Epstein case, which said she helped procure underage girls for him and other high-profile people.
• Epstein described Maxwell as his best friend in a 2003 profile with Vanity Fair.
• According to multiple people in affluent Manhattan circles, including two of her friends, Maxwell introduced Epstein to many of the social figures in his life.
• Images published in 2000 in the Palm Beach Post show Maxwell, Trump, Epstein and Prince Andrew in attendance at a charity fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.
• Maxwell was arrested in 2020 in the northeastern US state of New Hampshire, having disappeared from view following Epstein’s arrest the previous summer.
