Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Penn Station
I can’t access the thread, but the fact that there is no beauty in modern architecture whatsoever put me in mind of a couple of thoughts on the subject of beauty by the late Professor Sir Roger Scruton…
“Beauty is an ultimate value – something that we pursue for its own sake, and for the pursuit of which no further reason need be given. Beauty should therefore be compared to truth and goodness, one member of a trio of ultimate values which justify our rational inclinations.”
And…
“Beauty matters. It is not just a subjective thing, but a universal need of human beings. If we ignore this need we find ourselves in a spiritual desert.”
Dr Theodore Dalrymple has written extensively on what happens to people who are deprived of beauty in their architectural surroundings but instead are forced to endure sheer ugliness day in and day out. He dealt with those people in Britain who grew up in the filthy post war high rise estates rose up like noxious weeds everywhere.
Remembering the beautiful stations in Russia and their subways…
Whatever committee decided to rip down the Penn train station perhaps should be charged with crimes against humanity,in their graves though they might be. Same charge against those today who are doing the same now…in music, in art, in architecture, in the written word (especially with children’s books)…
On purpose and with intent.
What we’ve lost…
An antidote for our beauty deprived world…
The antidote is our turning back to God, Who is ALL BEAUTIFUL.
Nature if fll of great beauty like this photo shows Betsy jones.
Those of us who are blessed to live in rural areas see it every day in the sky, the mountains, the cultivated fields.
God does not make ugly, humans do.
Humans can also make great beauty like our once great cities that were built with beauty and comfort in mind.
Sadly too many of Americas once great cities have become worse than some third world places I have seen, ugliness everywhere there.
I know it is, Chloe. I have lived in a place where every day I gave thanks that for a brief moment He planted me there.
Destroy beauty, you destroy the human spirit. All a part of the satanic plan.
Dear Bets,
There is such a dearth of beauty in modern man-made edifices – maybe why we seek it in nature and God’s creatures.
They build without divine inspiration.
So true. All of my life I have never wanted to vacation in a manmade location to look at man-made anything.
Disneyland, Branson, tourist attractions..NEVER attracted me. I did go to Sea World in Orlando once as an adult taking my mother who I was visiting because she wanted to see the fish and other marine creatures there. It was cool but I knew I’d never spend time & money to go there from my own home.
While some buildings – especially old cathedrals – are truly beautiful in design, they cannot hold a candle to God’s majestic creations such as the Appalachian and Rocky mountain ranges, and vast sweeping valleys and plains. Such as Iceland’s raw, primitive landscape and Europe’s beautiful green rolling vistas. Every continent has some unique expression of our heavenly Father’s artistic creativity, and on top f all that, He put a seemingly limitless variety of self-sustaining flora and fauna for us to see.
The ugly architecture that was popular during the rebuilding of European cities after WWII, and the brutalist style of architecture that became so popular in the latter 20th century is a deliberate attempt to deaden the human spirit and dull our hearts and minds. That was and still is funded by the same darkly-driven people who want to reduce world population by 80% and enslave the majority of the survivors.
GB
Eloquently put. ❤️
TY, SBL. 😎
Quick question – Is ‘Soaz’ short for Southern Arizona?
Yep!
🤠 🤠
Amen
And the old cathedrals were built for the sacrificial worship of God in Mass, and to give Him His due glory and praise!
Excellent comment GB Bari!
Well said and I agree with all of it.
🙂
Your final sentence, dear Corny…the most essential element for inspired earthly creations.
Sir Roger would himself agree most whole heartedly.
For you, Bets
nyctous adj. feeling quietly overjoyed to be the only one awake in the middle of the night – sitting alone with a laptop (or kindle!) and a cup of tea, or, strolling down the center line of an abandoned street – taking in the world like an abandoned theater between productions, stripped down to a simple black box, open to be whatever you want it to be.
Nice! I have felt this many times! Thank you!
Perfectly defined, sis 💕 The world around me asleep while I am not. I do my best thinking then. I’ll take my box decorated though, if that’s all right 😉🤗💕
You bet, sis!
thank you Betsy…… reminding us that we’re in a soul journey not our human one. Peace
W are not bodies with a soul. We are souls first.
And we are just passing through 🙏🏻🕊
We are souls with a body rather than the reverse. Someone posted that somewhere at sometime!
🙏❤️
on our way to Jesus………I am in full anticipation of his return…….
Beauty will defeat communism/ fascism and other ugly -isms
Good morning and well said Betsy
Good morning, dear Monti 😘
Beauty has withstood hundreds and hundreds of years of chaos, wars, and upheaval. You are right.
Enlightened minds will treasure it and do all they can to preserve it.
Feisty,
You can almost hear the past echoes off those soaring ceilings. Was there many times in the 70’s and 80’s on the way to Madison Square Garden in its “newer” ugly incarnation.
Haven’t been to Grand Central Station in many years, but it had much of that same beauty and sense of magnitude.
You may find this interesting. Taki sees the beginning of the end of beautiful architecture in 1945.
https://www.takimag.com/article/the-year-zero-of-american-architecture/
Taki is correct. The same conclusion oft stated by Dr Dalrymple.
How in this world St Paul’s Cathedral was spared during the bombing of all of London remains a point of speculation. I would offer one which whether right or wrong I’d like to think was correct 🕊
A wing was hit one night during the Blitz. Probably inadvertently. I have read from multiple sources though that the dome was spared because it was easily seen and a prominent land mark that served as a reference point for the Bombers.
I think many are probably confused by the term “The Blitz” and think it refers to the whole period of all the mass bombing missions. It does not. After Fighter command made it too costly for mass raids in daylight and continued to control the skies, Hitler changed his focus from an invasion of Britain to operation Barbarossa, the invasion of Russia, continued to bomb Britain gradually switching to all night raids to help minimize losses because he had to conserve the Luftwaffe bombers for the attack on Russia. The official end of the Battle of Britain is October 31st 1940 but really the Britain had won it in September.
The “Blitz” refers only to the 8 month period starting Sept 7th, 1940 and for 57 nights in a row after that when the Luftwaffe had switched to those mass night bombing missions. They concentrated on the cities, industrial centers, and the docks.Britain bombed Berlin at night and Hitler was furious and the Blitz was at least in part a response to the RAF Bomber command raids on Germany. It is from the period of the Blitz that the picture above was taken as well as most of those pictures of people sleeping in the subway stations.

Israel Update:
–Israel on high alert regarding Iranian revenge for the killing of Generals in Syria. People are buying generators, food, fuel. Additional Reservists are called in regarding missile defense.
Some GPS areas are taken down to prevent GPS guided missiles to strategic targets. Concern that it’s going to happen on this Friday that is what they call “Jerusalem Day”.
-Biden on a phone call with Bibi demands an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and says that the continuation of the American support depends on the steps Israel will take to protect civilians in Gaza and the aide workers. Note that the wife of Biden told him to demand a ceasefire and he did. This is a change. Note: It looks like the actual demand is that he “gives the negotiating team more authority to cut a deal”. Basically he wants us to stop the war in exchange for a bad deal with many killers released for hostages. And Hamas will never release all the hostages without a guaranty for their future survival. He threatened to cut the weapon and munition and the aide package. 17 Billion dollars that was not yet proposed to Congress.
Bibi responded and sent the Mossad Chief with Shabak Chief (another spy agency) and another General to Cairo in an attempt to cut a deal.
Bibi also responded and is opening the Israeli port of Ashdod to humanitarian aide and opens a border crossing for aide from Israel.
Note: While it’s hard to judge when you don’t know all the pressures involved and threats,
I do have to criticize Bibi for dragging the entrance to Rafah that should have been done at the beginning of the war since it’s the supply line for Hamas. Also something here is not making sense as he is daily saying that “we are going to Rafah in any case” while in reality it will take no less than a month to move the population to livable places and nothing known is done yet to get started. On the other hand he goes along with the demands of being more flexible with the negotiations. In Al Jazeera they published a very harsh conversation of Bibi and Biden in which Biden didn’t even want to hear about Rafah. Again I am trying not to be judgmental and only time will tell the tale, but I am pointing out what seems right now.
Bibi is pushed into a corner. If he loses the support of the US, the US could stop the aide and this war is millions of dollars per day. We need the aide and also we need the munitions as we have an existential threat on the North. On the other hand a bad deal with Hamas will signal the loss of the war which could also be existential and the end of Bibi’s career. His voters are right wing. They will dump him if he succumbs to losing the war.
But he is not stupid so as I said. Time will tell. He may be playing Chess and knows what he is doing.
-Blinken: “If we won’t see from Israel the changes that we want to see there will be a change in our policy. “
-180,000 letters from American Jews sent to Biden asking him to support Israel and show moral clarity with supporting Israel. It’s was organized by a pro-Israel organization.
-Israeli Shabak (spy organization) arrested a large network of terrorists who planed to kill the Minister of Internal Security of Israel and attack IDF bases, the International Airport, government locations in Jerusalem. Some of them from the West Bank and some Arab Israelis. They were related to Hamas and had contacts to it.
-Bombardments on Rafah , in preparations to the upcoming invasion?. Not seen on most media. My source is on Telegram and provided images. He is reliable. My source who is a PHD on Middle East affairs gave the advice to avoid main stream media for the purpose of extending ones life. LOL.
-Rocket fire 7 times to three Israeli cities in the south by Gaza. The war in Gaza continues. Tens of terrorists killed. No Israeli casualties.
-Chuck Schumer is calling for early elections in Israel to replace Netanyahu.
We are calling for early elections in the US to replace Biden. LOL.
-Netanyahu meets a Republican delegation of Congress Reps. About 15 of them.
He says:”There is an attempt to ram a Palestinian State down our throat”.
-Trump criticizes that “Israel is taking too long with this war”. Says it should get it done soon and go into peace making. He says he is for victory but to get it done. Also says that Israel is losing the PR and should stop publishing buildings taken down in Gaza. Trump apparently just had a conversation with the Saudi Prince. This is interesting and could be important.
Note: I also think that it takes too long. I think it is because of the pressures from Biden.
But really there is no excuse. Rafah should have been taken at the beginning of the war. Israel got more than half the forces out of Gaza. Possibly because of US pressure who demanded a “third phase of less intense war”, but I can’t tell the exact reasons.
Trump is very sharp.
I agree with his statements. Trump also had a crisis with Bibi in the past and so do I.
But I tend to give him more chances before completely flipping on him.
I believe that many in the right are at the same spot that I am but are losing patience and some have already flipped and are not happy with him hesitating and letting Israel be a “punching bag” of some Western Forces.
The pride of Israel was badly humiliated on 10/7 and a fully functioning leader would have assigned the “pride of the people” importance to rehabilitate. It may be better to fight with rifles against rifles and without Air Force than being humiliated by Biden and his party.
As a human being I tend to take responsibility and not point fingers at others.
I can’t just point a finger to Biden and say “it’s all his fault”. I have to look at reality in the face.
Bibi also was the one who brought upon Israel some of the worst oppressive Covid vaccine regulations in the world. You had to have a “Green passport” (a passport that says that you had a vaccine) in order to enter a shopping mall and to have a job in many places. It was the ultimate oppression of whoever didn’t want it. And I didn’t take the vaccine.
I know people who didn’t take the vaccine and died and I know young people who took the vaccine and had their heart fail and died months later.
While at first he bragged about how we were the first to cut a deal with Pfizer and it seemed like it worked. Some months later we had one of the worst waves in the world and they started to force the booster and then the booster of the booster. I am not criticizing anyone who took the vaccine but the point is that Bibi is not clean. And while some of me feels like an ambassador for Israel, and I want you to keep likening Bibi, more of me is a truth seeker and I will not hide facts from my friends.
My apology for the detour about vaccines but I was making a point. And it’s not a small point.
I can also find many positive points about Bibi but in recent years he is not the same.
-A report from an Iranian anti Government website claims that Zahadi (the General who was taken out in Syria) was one of the key planners of 10/7. I don’t know if it’s true. But for sure he was a key player of all Iran’s activities around Israel and it will be hard to replace him as he was very experienced and his Deputy was also killed. Only time will tell if it was a good decision considering that it will have a price. The whole leadership of Iran was at the funerals of the 7 Officers who were killed . They took it hard.
-With Israeli help the Germans attested four terrorists who came from Lebanon to make terror attacks against Jews and Israelis in Europe. The arrest led to exposing their storage of weapons and munitions which was in Bulgeria.
Note: Somehow the number of views on my YouTube channel are dropping.
IE for example my “Stand-Up comedy” video had yesterday some 129 views and today 92.
So today I will post it again and post extra more videos. I hope you will like it. Most of my videos are very short and give more reality of what I am talking about.
To end it all I will put in a prayer for Bibi to rise to the occasion and lead to victory and a return of the hostages and the pride of the nation. May God help him and us and may Trump be blessed and win the elections. I believe that he is the Last chance to stop the dark forces that are leading the world in those tough times. May Trump have good health mentally and physically and come victorious for the sake of all of us. Amen!
I noticed that I repeated myself about Bibi. My apology. I wish there was an edit option after 10 minutes. There isn’t.
yes, Israel needs to throw up tent cities back up in central Gaza, move everyone up there, then set in at Rafah with an all-out tunnel-blowing campaign
I’m not sure what is Israel’s strategy for “eliminating Hamas entirely”, but I’d rank that a 2nd objective behind total elimination of all of Gaza’s tunnel networks
I’d get tunnels done first, as I think it’d go a long way toward the other objective
and yeah, they’re running out of time, global forces will conspire against them
I’m not sure where the hostages factor in the overall strategy and how much that is governing timelines; of course, they’re probably being kept in the Rafah tunnels, so there’s that impediment
but I’d set total tunnel elimination foremost
lest Israel find the rug pulled out from under them before all objectives can be achieved
of course I can mouth off as an armchair General, having no human stake in the game
so take my words as you would any free advice — worth no more than what one paid for it
but it’s sure a thing of great beauty when those tunnel networks go up in a long necklace of dust and explosives smoke
in re-reading, I’ve formed an opinion that the hostage issue is governing
Israel can’t really go in guns blazing at Rafah because the hostages are probably held in the Rafah tunnels
so Israel is probably holding off until the hostage issue can hopefully be solved
but it’s not happening, Hamas will not resolve the issue and release hostages
if there CAN be a hostage release, Hamas and world powers will probably insist on “total cessation of hostilities” in exchange
that’s probably a bridge too far for Israel, I think they still MUST destroy all tunnels
they’d have to somehow say “OK, you can evacuate yourselves to coastal central Gaza, but we WILL destroy all tunnels in south Gaza
what happens to Israel’s pledge to eliminate Hamas once and for all I don’t know
quite a quandary
I’m just brainstorming aloud, mind you … again, what you’ve paid for it
Yes. The hostages are a problem. Yes, Biden is seeking to use the hostage exchange to stop the war. I don’t know what he thinks will happen then? Maybe he wants to make them change and become moderate under pressure. LoL. Hamas will not give all the hostages without a guaranty that we let them survive.
Militarily what was done in Khan Yunis can be done in Rafah but with more forces to speed it up. You can get to a standstill situation when we sit on all the entrances to the tunnels and it’s the hostages for their lives.
I think that Bibi is afraid to lose the support of the US because he is under extreme pressure from Biden.
I think that Bibi is trying to comply so he can say “I did what you said and it didn’t work so we are moving in”.
Biden will pressure him to accept all the demands in exchange to a Normalization with Saudi Arabia and money. This will not pass in Israel. Most Israelis want to achieve the goals of the war.
So we are heading to a major crisis with the US possibly an end for the aide.
There are also factors that we don’t see.
For example Israel is working on getting munition manufacturing. Israel is getting closer to have an operational Laser Defense system that will change the game in the North.
Also Bibi could be dragging it closer to the elections of November considering that it’s hard to stay in the tunnels and Biden will be carful not to upset the Jewish and Pro Israel vote.
So it’s hard to tell without all the information.
I agree that tunnels are a major target. In my opinion it should use all its might. Get an overwhelming amount of power and get this war done or at least the major part of the war. The tunnels is a slow proccess to locate them to map them slowly and then blow them up. We are still finding more at areas we are occupying for months. But you’re right that without the tunnels they are hopeless.
David thank you for the inside story.
Over here in Scotland their a full frontal anti Jewish “news” assault on Israel.
Not surprising as the unelected leader is a Muslim with Gaza family members. I know it’s hard to believe but that is the sewer into which the West has descended.
One question which puzzles me:
Who built these tunnels?
Why did the Israelite intelligence not spot them being built and destroy them?
Who provided the vast amount of heavy machinery to build them?
Where did all the vast amount of earth spoil go?
I know questions questions.
God bless Israel
All the UK has been conquered. I see London random footage and it looks like Afghanistan. I see what is going in Ireland and now you’re telling me about Scotland.
Hamas built the tunnels and Islamic Jihad. Two organizations. Over a couple of decades.
The magnitude was unknown. We knew of some tunnels and had a few operations in Gaza and destroyed some. But over all it was a government error that they didn’t want to enter Gaza on ground to prevent the death of soldiers. So the operations were not deep and faced international pressure and ended fast.
Israeli Intelligence messed up on many levels and the investigations will rip them badly.
They didn’t use heavy machinery. I posted one time, those are small machines and hard work.
The land is sandy and easy to dig. They had covers and in some cases dig inside structures so you don’t see the digging. I saw a case where it looked like some kind of factory with trucks and the trucks would take the sand as if it’s a distribution of something else. But overall the military level and political level thought that they are not a threat “just a terror organization” and arrogance and thinking like westerns caused the disaster. A westerner thinks that if you employ them and make sure they have financial support they it will be ok. While they even now with all the damage they still think it was worth it. For them death is an award. That is what the West doesn’t get.
The Islamic wave in Europe will eventually blow up in the face. People who support terror organizations are not good people. People who believe that leaving Islam should result in death are not compatible with the Western Values.
Thank you David.
Its just that the satanistic government in Ireland are proposing to put a tunnel under the Liffey; it is going to cost over 3 billion Euros and take over 5 years to complete.
I have an idea.
As the Irish government are 100% behinds the jihadists, why not take them to Dublin and build the tunnel in one year.
Its a win win.
At some point they suggested to take in Palestinians. But it was not a serious offer.
There is a strong world pressure to not relocate the refugees. It’s really the Arab fear of giving Israel the win of having people leave. They like to keep the Palestinians problem in the throat of Israel. With all the Arab money and land the Palestinians could have been in a much better condition. They don’t get to be out of a refugee status even generations after they move to another Arab country. Thanks to the Arabs and UNRWA.
Over here in Scotland their a full frontal anti Jewish “news” assault on Israel.
Not surprising as the unelected leader is a Muslim with Gaza family members.
Yeah, Patrick, here’s your First Minister, Humza Yousaf, apparently. Probably not much Scottish in his family tree, I’m guessing
And, yes – the West has let in far too many moslems, let alone allowing them in positions of power. Razor – meet throat.

David: Vaccines … I appreciate you bringing it up.
Most of us here on CTH did not take the vaccine either imo.
I’m so relieved you didn’t take it!
When it was all going on in 2020-2021 and after, and all the news about how Israelis were being jabbed at a very high rate, I prayed hard that it was just saline water (placebo).
I think our government (Biden Administration) pushed Israel to do that to its people, just as it was pushing hard and mercilessly on us and other countries.
I looked at and still look at it as a 2020-2021 and after worldwide Holocaust.
I still hear it being pushed here! PDJT is still proud of the vaxx being developed under his direction. I consider that his pride (in his role in Covid vaccine development) to be a weak point for him. HOWEVER: a very STRONG point is that PDJT continually said that it should NOT be mandated and should be a personal choice. But, under Biden, it was mandated nearly everywhere here.
If you want more info on the Covid vaccine and vaccines in general, this doctor is a worldwide expert and has studied vaccines for decades now: Dr Sherry Tenpenny.
Dr Sherry Tenpenny is a patriot and was (and likely still is) a Trump supporter. She’s done TED talks and is on YouTube* and Rumble and still has her own website, I believe.
*Given the severe censorship and shutting-down-of channels by YT lately, it’s a good idea to double publish on Rumble “just in case”. Sundance retweeted this last bit of advice in the last few days.
There are other medical experts, too, especially about the Covid vaccine: Robert Malone, Peter McCullough, Pierre Kory, Ryan Cole, Brian Ardis and others (most are doctors /researchers).
I believe (and many / most people here at CTH and MAGA patriots in general believe) that the whole Covid thing was the excuse to bring in mail-in voting (to cheat like crazy and get rid of PDJT).
And, I’m still praying for Israel’s success SOON in cutting off the head of the snake, as Mosab Hassan Yousef likes to say. Shabbat Shalom to you all.
Shabbat Shalom. Thanks for the references. I am familiar with Dr. Malone and when me and family had Covid
I used the Protocols of the FLCCC Alliance. You can see their website. I had to import some things from the US and I was prepared before we had the illness. Me and my wife were not going to take the vaccines. It was too suspicious. But the protocols worked for me my wife and sister in law.
David: I’m so glad you and your wife both did not get vaxxed. That’s better for a couple and family.
Several of the medical people in my previous post have written and spoken about SHEDDING, which is a real thing.
I know a very NOT-vaxxed health practitioner who “died suddenly”.
He was very healthy until a good friend (or one of his patients or someone in his vicinity on an airplane or at a conference) SHED on him.
He suddenly started having all the symptoms of having been vaxxed.
I’m so impressed with your resourcefulness about this and MANY subjects you discuss and talents you display (like translating to English, for example).
And I’m glad you found FLCCC here in the USA so you could have the protocol available.
Vitamin D and Magnesium are probably the main reasons why I did not get Covid and haven’t been sick in at least 15 years.
I take Vitamin D3 blood tests 2-3 times a year so I can keep my Vitamin D3 blood level at 60-80 ng/ml*.
I’ve adjusted my Vitamin D3 supplement dosage up or down as necessary following each Vitamin D3 blood test.
*I don’t know if Israel measures Vitamin D3 levels using the same scale or what Israel’s equivalent is to 60-80 ng/ml.
My Vitamin D3 supplement dosage has gone up substantially (in order to stay in the 60-80 ng/ml blood level range) over the last 20 years.
I soak in 3 pounds (!) of Epsom Salts (magnesium) several times a week. Helps our bodies in dozens of ways including utilizing Vitamin D more efficiently.
Another thing I do regularly for years is Vitamin C three times a day and I take a very potent multivitamin.
I haven’t had ANY vaccines since the early 90’s.
As you know, I’m about 10 years older than you; I just turned 70.
Shabbat Shalom … Blessings to all of you.
Thanks for sharing. Oddly enough I have been taking Calcium Magnesium, D3, etc…
I am not as consistent as you. But you forgot the most important part.
I would bet that you stay away from toxic people. That by itself would keep you healthy.
🤔😊 “… most important part.
I would bet that you stay away from toxic people.
That by itself would keep you healthy.”
—David Julian April 5 2024
Yes. That’s so true. I’ve fine-tuned that in my life even recently.
Healthy Blessings galore to you all.
David. – Thanks for the update. I am continuing to pray for Israel. I feel our current administration is an embarrassment to America. What Blinken said the other day was totally off. I pray Bibi and the IDF continue down the path to eliminate Hamas.
Thanks. Don’t be embarrassed. They are more of a danger than an embarrassment.
I mean for example releasing the Iranian economy directly relates to 10/7.
Withdraw from Afghanistan the way it was done transmitted weakness and gave Putin the idea that it’s a good time to go after Ukraine. He went after them when Obama was in power and stopped when Trump was.
But the worst is the internal war they are conducting on the ability of the masses to think independently.
That is the worst. The Woke assault on the education. Is an assault on the mind of people. The overtake of media and film industry is also an assault on the mind. The control of Social media is also mind control.
The over-drugging with mind altering medications also assault on free thinking. Specially in schools.
I can go on and on. So they are more a danger than embarrassment. What they do to the US is also happening in Israel, Canada , Australia and the west. So it’s not just Biden. It goes deep. I am sure you know. That’s why you’re on the Last Refuge. I remember someone telling me here that Last Refuge means I shouldn’t post things that are not pleasant to see or know. I think Last Refuge is a place where people are still free to think and communicate without the interference of the darker elements.
David: I agree 100% with what you wrote.
However just a few days ago, Sundance posted THIS Very IMPORTANT blog:
👇 👇
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/04/03/site-notes-and-updates/
Please explain. It was very long and I lost it without getting it.
He is talking about some monitoring comments regarding content that is not acceptable for someone. What does it mean? Obviously hate speech that generalize groups will be a violation. And it is not related to the post itself, only to comments.
Once you’ve read my 8:23 pm reply, ask me if you have more questions.
If I’m asleep for the next few hours or more, tomorrow I WILL check back here to see if you have more questions.
Probably the key paragraph:
You do not need to be a deep weeds thinker to see the issue here.
After years of unsuccessfully targeting our research directly, the Google overlords are now targeting us based on reader content.
They are turning fellowship into a vulnerability.
I am furious and working earnestly to develop a solution.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
CTH depends on donations from Treepers AND on Ad revenue funneled somehow thru G00gl€.
One thing that many of us are doing is donating more money using the Donate button which is on most pages.
Another thing Sundance asked was for us to use the RED FLAG on the right side of any post to turn it into a BLACK flag (if we see any posts that would be problematic).
Twenty Black Flags AUTOMATICALLY deletes the comment in question.
And 2 or 3 (I forget — Ad Rem posted it in the discussion/ comments area) of those post deletions causes Ad Rem to delete the Treeper’s ability to post..
Google is targeting comments by key words that alerts them? Is that so?
I suppose to flag problematic comments? Sorry. I still don’t get the idea. Did I post something wrong? Or maybe you relate to the last comment that I used to answer “dunewall” about the way thought is being manipulated by some elements. Maybe you’re concerned that this content would be prohibited by the censure of Google?
I don’t have a completely clear idea as to what G00gl€ is objecting to.
I do know that the one screenshot by Eliot Ness was a problem for G.
I believe G is demonetizing CTH when they find objectionable comments.
No, I’ve not seen anything you have posted that I think is wrong.
But I don’t know what G thinks is “wrong”.
No, I’m NOT saying you should flag any comments (unless you want to).
I’m saying that Sundance wants our help to flag objectionable comments before G finds them.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
This was part of another comment to you that I made:
Sundance retweeted in the last few days that all conservative YouTube channels should be double posting to Rumble “just in case”.
YouTube is censoring, demonetizing, canceling more and more.
(The antivax health practitioner I spoke of earlier was BANNED from YT after he died! A good friend transferred his VALUABLE health info to Rumble.)
So, I think you should have a DUPLICATE Rumble channel — in addition to your YT channel.
%%%%%%%%%%%%
I’ll check back here again later after I wake up.
Sundance’s message is actually quite simple. Everyone needs to think before they post. Google is using software to hunt for words or phrases that they deem offensive. Words that could indicate a direct threat, derogatory terms towards individuals and groups or advocating violence towards and individual or group. I am sure Google has a more extensive list that what I provided.
Sundance issued the warning because he rightly believes that Google will use the alleged violation(s) to try and harm CTH. The mostly action is to demonetize the Tree House causing it severe financial difficulties to the point it would have to shut down.
I would add libelist accusations into the what not to post as that could cause offended party to file civil actions against the easiest target, TCH. There have been a few rants lately that have crossed the line.
Take care and stay safe

Thank you, Ad Rem. 🌝
In preparation to the Iranians we are mobilizing something. I am not sure if it’s the Arrow 3 anti ballistic missiles defense system or more likely the Jericho missiles which are ballistic missiles which are capable of carrying nuclear warheads ?
I am not even sure that it’s ok to post it here. But it adds deterrence so I will post.

Rains Wash Away Part of California’s Iconic Highway 1 Near Big Sur, Stranding Tourists, Locals
What a shame. I was only out there once, years ago. But that remains one of the most scenic road trips I ever took.
It has happened before and will happen again. It is a great drive.
Does that almost every year somewhere along Hwy 1 between Carmel and Hearst Castle. I lived in the Monterey area for 25 years.
Very true Gramadeb.
That highway has been washed away and rebuilt or moved slightly for decades.
No big deal.
It really is one of the most beautiful roads I have been on here in the US.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thx Gramadeb
I only ever drove it once, scientific conference at Esalen

I’m a little bit late with this tonight, Treeper friends. I was watching the movie 13 Hours. It’s a really good adventure film about an actual event. Highly recommended.
better late than never ♥️
I’m an old retired guy who lives alone with my loyal kitty . . . time seems a lot less important than when I was always expected to be someplace!
that’s the thing about retirement

Douglas MacArthur
(1880-1964)
American US Army General in World War II (Pacific Theater; Philippines) and Korea, dies at 84
Biography: Born into a military family Douglas MacArthur graduated from Westpoint in 1903. During World War I he was a Colonel in the 42nd ‘Rainbow Division’ and eventually its commander. During this period he was awarded 7 silver stars and the Distinguished Service Medal.
After a period as Superintendent at Westpoint where he instituted new reforms, MacArthur left in 1922 to take up a command in Manilla. In 1930 he was named the army’s Chief of Staff but his reputation took a hit when he lead troops against the ‘bonus army’ of vets in Washington in 1932.
MacArthur was back in the Philippines when WWII broke out and many of hi forces were destroyed in attacks on the Philippines the day after Pearl harbour. MacArthur was forced to retreat to the Bataan peninsula and then Australia, vowing to one day return. He became a major figure in the war in the Pacific fighting his way through New Guinea. By October 1944 he returned to the island of Leyte, before liberating the rest of the Philippines. In September 1945 he received the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri.
After the war as Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers in Japan he oversaw the country’s reconstruction. He successfully steered it towards democracy overseeing improvements in land ownership and human rights that were to have a lasting effect. His last command was as Commander of a United Nations force in the Korean War but he was relived of his command in 1951 after disagreements in strategy and returned to the US.

Howard Hughes
(1905-1976)
American reclusive billionaire, filmmaker and aviator, dies at 72
Biography: Howard Hughes is known for his eccentricities as much as for his achievements, which were many. Hughes was a Hollywood filmmaker, an aviator, real estate mogul and philanthropist.
Hughes’ enormous wealth originated from his father’s invention of a drill bit used in oil drilling. Arriving in Hollywood in 1926 he funded and produced such films as Hell’s Angels (1927), Scarface (1934) and The Outlaws (1943), which made a star out of Jane Russell. Hughes even designed a bra for Russell to wear in the film.
In 1932 he entered the aviation industry founding Hughes Aircraft Company. As a pilot, Hughes personally set a number of flight records. Hughes also bought a controlling interest in the airline TWA.
Hughes famously built an eight engine wooden flying boat, nicknamed the “Spruce Goose” and piloted it on its only voyage in 1947.
During the 1950s Hughes was a major figure in the development of Las Vegas, buying land and lessening its association with the Mafia.
From this period Hughes became increasing reclusive moving around the world to locations that offered him the seclusion he craved. By the time he died in 1976 Hughes appeared to be showing signs of mental illness. He was thin through an extreme diet, addicted to pain killers and with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, that led to him reputedly keeping his urine in jars.

(1918-1992)

Charlton Heston
(1923-2008)
American actor (The Ten Commandments; Ben-Hur; Planet of Apes)Ben-Hur), dies at 84
Biography: As a Hollywood star he appeared in 100 films over the course of 60 years. He is best known for his roles in “The Ten Commandments” (1956); “Ben-Hur”, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor (1959), “El Cid” (1961), and “Planet of the Apes” (1968).
The starring roles gave the actor a grave, authoritative persona and embodied responsibility, individualism and masculinity; he rejected scripts that did not emphasize those virtues.
MacArthur and Patton, are the two most controversial generals in US WW II history. To this day, even among we that were not alive at the time, those names can elicit emotional responses and heart felt contentious arguments. Both are men that to this day are either loved or hated by many. The only other two US Generals that can illicit such emotional responses to this day among so many are Grant and Sherman. Mark Clark is another very controversial general in American history though not so well known by many today. Both as a General in character he lies at the bottom of the list those I have mentioned above.
BTW, MacArthur, his aide at the time, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Patton, were all involved in the attack on the “Bonus Army” in 1932.
Yes, rah
My dad, a WWII vet, had strong feelings regarding both – guess I’ll leave it there. 🤔
A lot of Americans never heard or read about the Bonus Army in 1932 because like everything else evil committed by our government it is avoided by the media and in public education.
That episode is a very dark stain on our government & military caused by the unjustified & evil arrogant bloodlust within those who ordered it and those who carried out those orders “with prejudice.” FDRoosevelt never brought justice to the victims of that ugly event.

Lee, Jackson, Stuart, Sheridan and LeMay elicit responses in people who know their history
rah: One of these days, I’ll get around to reading “American Ceasar,” the definitive biography of MacArthur. I’ve read much more by and about Patton. MacArthur had serious deteractors during the Korean War.
Mornin’ all!
HIS AGONY AND OUR FELLOWSHIP
“Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples,…tarry ye here, and watch with Me.” Matthew xxvi. 36, 38
We can never fathom the agony in Gethsemane, but at least we need not misunderstand it. It is the agony of God and Man in one, face to face with sin. We know nothing about Gethsemane in personal experience. Gethsemane and Calvary stand for something unique; they are the gateway into Life for us.
It was not the death on the cross that Jesus feared in Gethsemane; He stated most emphatically that He came on purpose to die. In Gethsemane He feared lest He might not get through as Son of Man. He would get through as Son of God – Satan could not touch Him there; but Satan’s onslaught was that He would get through as an isolated Figure only; and that would mean that He could be no Saviour. Read the record of the agony in the light of the temptation: “Then the devil leaveth Him for a season.” In Gethsemane Satan came back and was again overthrown. Satan’s final onslaught against our Lord as SON OF MAN is Gethsemane.
The agony in Gethsemane is the agony of the Son of God in fulfilling His destiny as the Saviour of the world. The veil is drawn aside to reveal all it cost Him to make it possible for us to become sons of God. His agony is the basis of the simplicity of our salvation. The Cross of Christ is a triumph for the SON OF MAN. It was not only a sign that Our Lord had triumphed, but that He had triumphed to save the human race. Every human being can get through into the presence of God now because of what the Son of Man went through.

April 5th Devotional
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
And we humans need to start THANKING Him!!
1. Give Him right worship, which involves sacrifice.
2. Honor Sunday by church attendance, visiting with family and friends, NOT by shopping!
3. STOP USING THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN!!! Politely ask people, including online, to refrain from using His Name in vain as well!
4. And that’s just the beginning!
Who couldn’t use more prayer time along the day? I know I do.

Good morning all!
Got the felt sliders on the big round feet of the leather corner set and it is in the living room where it belongs. Before my son got here I managed to get the cover for the cold air return in the ceiling over the couch reinstalled. Weeks ago I looked for a new metal cover for it and could not find any of that size. It was brown and the ceiling white so I painted it white with Krylon spray paint. Multiple coats applied over the period of a week finally got looking white a new.
No felt pads were large enough for those big round feet so I made a pattern for the feet on the corner set It took one piece of the largest pads I could find and partial pieces of two other large pads to cover one foot. I cut out the felt pad pieces on Steve’s bandsaw. No messing around with the possibility of the pads slipping off. Besides the self adhesive on the pad I used drops of superglue gel to ensure they won’t ever come off. I did the same for the feet on the large leather ottoman that goes with the corner set.
The leather arms of the corner set are all scratched up from the animals. Steve, who had his own upholstery shop, turned me on to this company: https://leatherworldtech.com/
And they are sending me a color match guide. Once I select the color to match they have the products so I can make the leather on that whole corner set look like new and keep it looking that way.
Put felt sliders on the feet of my leather easy chair and moved it in to it’s place in the living room also. Installed the oak outlet and switch covers in the living room before we moved the furniture in.
We got the 55″ TV and sound bar hooked back up to DISH along with the DVD player. We have literally hundreds of DVDs and I see no sense in paying for live streaming when we have so many of the old movies that we both enjoy and can play what we want, when we want, for free. We will get our surround sound subwoofer and speakers hooked up later once we get everything else in place in the living room. All the speakers but the subwoofer are wireless but of course need power supply. Already have a 5 disk CD player and it will be hooked into the system to play the 100s of CDs we have. Got lots of great Christmas music CDs in our collection also.
We were going to get a 70″ smart TV and mount it over the fireplace mantle but there simply is not enough room vertically between the top of the mantle and the ceiling. Besides, Sherry likes decorating the mantle . But there is room in the nook where the TV is now for a 60″ smart TV and eventually we’ll get one and mount it on an extending arm swivel bracket attached to the short wall so the TV can be turned any way we want it and actually could be watched from the sun room if we so desire. The 55″ TV we have now is not a smart TV and has HDMI cables running from the back of it. It is mounted on feet and sits on top of the entertainment center.
I am so happy to have gotten rid of the rats nest of wires and cables that were behind the entertainment center before and now have only the wires and cables we need. Am set up so I can remove two pieces of trim that were installed to be removable and slide the entertainment center out to gain full access to the back if need be but really I we’re set up now so that we should not have to do that unless we need access to the main incoming cable feed from Dish or Xfinity. (Dish for TV and Xfinity for computers.
So, today I put felt sliders on the book shelves and end tables and all the smaller stuff before I move them back into the living room. Then the we can start looking for what we’re going to furnish the sun room with. I’m thinking I would like a round or octagon gaming table with the green felt that has a wood removable top for everyday use. We’ll get a new cat tower for Gabby to sit on the outside corner so she can see both directions outside. Probably get an area rug for the table and chairs to sit on and a small one for in front of the sliding glass door, but that will still leave plenty of the beautiful floor exposed. We’ll fill out the rest from there.
Thanks for the leather info.
Once a year it takes hours -over a two day period to clean, condition, dry, polish/buff.
Seems you’ll have a little lounge time before grass season?
Congratulations, rah!
IF it’s dry enough tomorrow I’ll be picking up sticks and mowing. But more than likely the yard won’t be dry enough and I will get to it Monday when the forecast is for a high 71 deg.
Re. felt pads – I ran into similar problem about 8-1/2 years ago when we ripped up all the 20 yr. old original wall-t0-wall carpeting and had solid oak hardwood flooring installed on our entire second floor and oak bullnose treads and risers on main staircase.
Our heavy oak bedroom furniture (made by the Amish in PA) needed pads but the legs were too big for any I could find. So I took a leftover Milliken commercial grade rubber-backed carpet square (very dense flat carpeting that you find in offices and retail stores) and cut out what I needed to fit. Turned them over, and glued the backing to the bottoms of each chest foot and it has worked like a charm ever since. Oak floor has nary a scratch on it.
Good thinkin’ lincoln!

Verse of the Day for Friday, April 5, 2024
✟
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”
Matthew 28:19 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Dear Duchess
I would like to ask Treepers to please take a moment to pray this for 71 y/o great grandmother, Rebecca Lavrenz.
Rebecca was convicted yesterday on four misdemeanor charges for entering the Capitol on January 6th to pray; she did so for 10 minutes, having walked through an open door. This lady was put in chains!
Mrs. Lavrenz is facing possibly 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. She is facing this political abomination with courage and grace, and is fighting back.
Let’s help her. 🙏

Follow this guy for earthquake predictions. This from 2 days ago.
The older I get the more I get a small glimpse of how angels discern another, just a glimpse. It is clouded by our beliefs which are then filtered through judgments we have attributed to the beliefs. Emotions are deception unless they are controlled or used as tools to comfort others.
In that aspect a child is more likely to discern a person more accurate then a person with education or experience, dogs, cats, and it would help to explain some of the attitudes of the educated. They believe wrong.
If all were educated in Gods word first that discernment would be second nature and, Gods voice would be easily heard. As we are now we have to forget or change beliefs to evolve.

Israel Update:
US Intelligence predicting the Iranian revenge to be done with tens of drones and cruise missiles that may come from Iraq or Iran (Cruise missiles are very large and can pass hundreds of miles at high speeds at relatively low altitude and are precise ). Hezbollah are saying that the West Bank will take major part in the revenge.
They want to ignite an uprising (Intifada). Right now there are tens of thousands Muslims on the Temple Mount in their mosque area who are screaming and are incited. The fact that Israel arrested so many terrorists in the West Bank in the past few months may make it hard to succeed.
As a note I think that I figured out the video from yesterday with the missiles being transported in Israel. It looks to me the Arrow 3 which is an interceptor for ballistic and cruise missiles (ballistic can get very high , into space and fly in an arch route while cruise missiles are flying lower).
Here is a short video about it. You can see the video also show how it gets transported and it looks to me like the video from yesterday.
Israeli technology is so amazing to watch. Their has to be some very good minds involved in the defence industry.

Yes
🙏 🇮🇱 ❤️ 🇮🇱 🙏 David: May every rocket and missile be safely intercepted and may all Israelis and those visiting Israel (like I was 50 years ago) be safe and healthy.
Shalom and Success to you all …
David, compare the diameter and silhouette of the original video, with the diameter and silhouette of the above missile in the latest video. The object in the original video is close to half the width of the trailer and it has appendages or fins.
The Arrow missile is much slimer, does not have visible fins and fits into a 21 inch launch tube, usually four tubes to a system that would be on the back of a trailer of similar size.

The Jericho missile is ballistic missile, larger in diameter compared to the Arrow, much longer and does not have visible fins.

I’m not sure what the first videos is showing, but if I had to guess, it might be a decommissioned aircraft with the wings and engine removed for transport. This might explain why there is no visible security detail present.
Take care and stay safe
Is Israel retiring or recommissioning any F-16s?
Examine the silhouette of the object in the original video that is encased in a shroud and compare it to the De-commissioned F-16 in the link.

Imagine it how the decommissioned F-16 would look with the rear wings and rudder removed and the aircraft was placed in a shroud. Any similarities?
Take care and stay safe
Felt the earthquake today. Please pray the Lord will use it to wake up Americans in the tri-state area. Very demonic influence here.🙏😇⭐️

Probably FBI tunneling up into Trump territory with one of those big tunnelling machines like in the Oceans Eleven movies
This is highly recommended. Interview.

One day at the park:
Treeper David was asked, who built the Gaza tunnels?
This paper at Columbia University has some information
https://ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/journals/jps/v41i4/f_0026265_21506.pdf
Reportedly at least 160 Gazan children died in construction of these tunnels, and when Pelham reported what he was told, he was forced to apologize; the child labor deaths are a fact inconvenient to authorities
Good morning all. It’s mowing day. First one of the year.
