Thank you for asking that question as it is very interesting. It made me think of the bark beetle attack on European spruce, which decimated the stands of spruce in European forests in the period from roughly 2016-2024 with a peak in around 2018-2020. Several hundred million trees died in Europe with losses exceeding 200 million m3 (summary notes from Grok which sounds accurate enough). The reason has been given of climate change and drought, but there has been droughts before without such massive losses.
Spruce like other trees have their own immune system and regarding spruce, then bark beetles is not a problem if the tree is healthy as the sap quickly repairs any intrusion. So if the trees are 'stressed' due to a change in the electric field, then that could explain it.
Anyway that could be a quick follow up question when another session comes along.
Ash dieback has had a significant impact on the UK’s landscapes and ecosystems since it was first detected. It is currently estimated that ash dieback will kill up to 50-75% of ash trees across the UK, which will also impact many species which rely on ash. This also poses substantial economic and safety challenges. The estimated cost of managing of diseased trees, particularly those near roads, buildings and public spaces, runs into the billions.
Yggdrasil is an immense ash tree central to Norse cosmology, connecting the Nine Worlds, including realms like Midgard (Earth) and Asgard (home of the gods). It serves as a cosmic axis, representing the interconnectedness of all life and the balance of existence. The tree's roots extend into various realms, nourished by three wells: Urdarbrunnr (the Well of Fate), Hvergelmir, and Mímisbrunnr. Each well holds significant meaning, linking Yggdrasil to the past, present, and future.
Odin, the father of the Norse pantheon, is known for his relentless quest for wisdom. To gain knowledge of the runes and the secrets of the universe, Odin sacrificed himself by hanging from Yggdrasil for nine days and nights. During this time, he pierced himself with his own spear and forbade any assistance from the other gods. This act of self-sacrifice allowed him to gain profound insights and mystical knowledge, emphasizing the theme of sacrifice for wisdom in Norse mythology.
The relationship between Odin and Yggdrasil reflects the Norse understanding of life, death, and rebirth. Yggdrasil is not only a physical entity but also a representation of the world's order and the cycles that sustain it. Odin's hanging from the tree symbolizes the idea that knowledge often comes at a great cost, and his experience underlines the importance of wisdom in navigating the complexities of existence.
European Spruce is not the only species of tree that has been under attack in Europe in recent years. Since 2006, many species of Ash Tree have been decimated by a fungus called Hymenoscyphus fraxineus.
I'm not even sure if any have been left alive as the dead skeletons of these trees are to be seen in wooded areas in abundance especially when traveling down highways and interstates. Multitudes of these dead remains have now fallen down to the road edges as well.The primary bug killing ash trees is the emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive beetle that burrows under the bark and disrupts the tree's vital systems, leading to infestation and death. Signs of infestation include thinning canopies, woodpecker activity, D-shaped exit holes in the bark, and vertical bark splits.
The most destructive insect killing spruce trees in Alaska is the spruce beetle, a Scolytinae bark beetle that attacks and kills trees by disrupting their food supply.
The same problem with ash trees is happening in Canada also.There's been a severe ash tree die off here in the states thanks to the Emerald Ash Borer:

I've noticed in watching a TV show about homesteading that is based in Alaska, as well as scenes from Mountain Men, that a common type of spruce tree has also been severely affected, and they are dying in droves.
Another insect threat now hitting Ohio is the Spotted Lanternfly with a preference for Trees of Heaven, but will feed on just about any tree available. Everyone is encouraged to kill the adults, nymphs, and egg masses whenever found.
An ongoing threat is the Gypsy Moth whose caterpillars are very devastating to oak trees in particular. They can actually strip trees bare.
So, no - it's not easy being green, especially if you're a tree.
ALERT! Breaking news on MSN:
Trump says Netanyahu agreed to US plan to end war in Gaza
So, what? Plan A totally (and literally) blew up, so Plan B is a go now?
I think I smell a rat! "Board of Peace"?! Check here for interesting info about Tony Blair. What's that saying about being judged by the company you keep?
![]()
I don't know that precludes a dirty bomb/nuke. But I agree, nuclear bombs affect 4D too, so won't be allowed.
Q: (JM) Is Tony Blair acting on his beliefs or is he being blackmailed?
A: He has been promised a place on the "rapture special."
(Joe) Since this Covid thing has progressed, the lockdowns have continued, businesses are being destroyed, and governments are continuing to push ahead with it despite all evidence that there's no reason for it, have a lot of them kinda been told that... What I'm thinking about here is way back in 2003, Tony Blair got on board with the Iraq thing for no good reason. They said the reason was that he was promised a seat on the Rapture Train. It suggests he was given some inside info about future events. So, a lot of them have been brought in...
(L) They know that this is all going on and there'll be a lot of death and destruction. They're padding their own...
(Joe) Yeah, so my question is: Have a lot of government leaders been given information about upcoming events that...?
A: Yes
If you were suddenly to become an 'influencer', or a person of particular renown, then it could be a problem. However, multiple people who are considered by the PTB to be "nobodies", all saying the same thing at once, is what forces them to change, back off, or change whatever idiotic program they're running.With regard to social media postings, I wonder how paranoid one should be about this. While my Facebook and X accounts are pretty clean, I have made a lot of posts and comments on various forums, youtube etc. I don't think that it would be impossible to connect these to a single user profile.
A: Make it a point to keep a low profile from here on. Things are about to get stranger than you can imagine.
Q: (L) When a person has passed over and they possibly are still hanging around, like for example their residence or their former family or whatever, and you have the idea that they can come and be in your kitchen, say, while you're cooking or sitting at the table or having dinner or whatever, or when you're walking around your yard. I mean, you read all the time about people doing different things and they feel the presence of their deceased loved one. So my question is do they - y'all are just waiting for this, aren't you? Do they hang around if you're in bed and doing things with your husband or wife? I mean, are they spying on you? [laughter]
A: Yes. But not exactly as you think. Though there [are] troubled souls with sex or other bodily addictions that are magnetized by such activities.
Q: (L) So if you're, say, drinking or doing drugs or having sex or any kind of... I suppose somebody could be addicted to running and if you're running, they hang around you. Is that true?
A: Yes
A: The rifle sound was produced by a rifle that was connected to a remote firing system linked to the same controller that was used to set off the explosive that killed Charlie. This was meant to provide a distraction for agents to remove incriminating evidence from the area around Charlie.
A: The guilty flee when none pursue.
A: Carefully as she goes!
(Joe) Yeah, but he's talking about YouTube, the shows on YouTube.
Yes it's a bit hard not to call out the people responsible, as depraved, evil, filth who promote hatred and division. I know I have difficulty!One thing that I have trouble accepting is that there is close to nothing we can do to help palestinians. Protests don’t work, boycott doesn’t work, social media will soon get muzzled and meanwhile, our tax money funds this horror, at least for those of us living in Europe and the USA. And now, half of them have been killed?!
The cover-up failed so miserably that even some OPs started waking up!(Joe) Well, on that point, what percentage of the population in America suspect that the official story about Charlie Kirk's assassination is not the truth?
A: Over 70 percent.
Handle what? (What specifics?)A: Let them handle it. They are better protected.
What about Rumble?(Joe) We can talk about stuff, but be careful on those shows. Because that's social media. YouTube is social media.
Even if Elon somehow loses Twitter, Gab would remain the same as it has since 2016.What about Andrew Torba?
I wasn't surprised to read what the C's said, but am confused considering a video seen recently. It featured a very qualified expert who pointed out that any projectile fired towards Charlie should've kicked the mic battery pack away from Charlie, BUT the video shows that the battery pack moves towards Charlie, which he concluded rules out a projectile being fired from the battery pack. Any thoughts about how his point and the C's explanation can be reconciled?Q: (Joe) Did something explode in close proximity to him?
A: Yes
Q: (Joe) Was it something in his wireless mic?
A: Yes
(Joe) So this device that was used, it didn't create any visible damage to his chest area. You thought that would've been...
(L) If it sent a projectile, let's see, it was on the right side and his left carotid artery. So if it was here and it sent something up explosively, it could have gone just, I mean, not very deep...
(Joe) The wound we saw on him in the video, was that an exit wound?
A: Yes
Q: (Joe) So was it effectively a bullet within the microphone case?
A: Not a "bullet" exactly.
Q: (L) A projectile?
A: Yes
