Sitting here exhausted, but very pleased with today's foraging run! The highlight of today's outing was actually catching harvest season for the wild strawberry for the first time in years! This weekend, we are at Schubert Centre for their summer market, then we are back at the Rutland Flea Market. We've purchased a 4ft folding table that we hope will be big enough to handle a tighter version of the layout we had at Lumby Days. The Lumby Days Indoor Craft Fair blew our socks off! The way the Lumby Days booth setup looked, we are becoming a veritable roving wildcrafted tea parlor with a side of medical insight to help people make choices that benefit their situations. Several times so far this spring, and several times at both major fairs this month, we've been asked if we have a storefront. As of yet, we do not, but we realize that if sales continue as they are, we will be in need of more processing space that can allow for a foodsafe kitchen, processing area, and expanded drying area so we can expand available quantities of the teas we offer, and potentially branch into other wildcrafted goods for sale. If you are reading this and you are in the Central Okanagan region, and if you believe you know someone who might help in some way, drop us a line with that information. https://naturalhealthgodsway.ca/2025/06/18/foraging-tea-sales-and-long-term-conundrum/

Despite this legal precedent, Bill C-2 is attempting to carve out a new space for surveillance. Among its more concerning features is a clause that would allow authorities to issue “information demands” to service providers without needing judicial approval. These demands would compel companies to confirm whether they provide services to specific users, whether they hold transmission data related to those accounts, and where the services are or were provided, both inside and outside Canada. https://reclaimthenet.org/canada-bill-c2-border-security-digital-surveillance-privacy-concerns

Well worth the read here if you want to know how screwed up the minds of greenies are: Climate Physicist, Anastassia Makarieva, co-originator of the Biotic Pump Model: Forests, Water, and Climate: Time for Re-Conceptualization Forests capture a certain part of solar energy at the surface in the form of what is called latent heat. This latent heat is then released during condensation higher in the troposphere from where it later goes unimpeded to space. ​ Thus by transpiration forests smooth the temperature lapse rate and thus cause cooling. If we reduce transpiration, then more heat remains at the surface, the temperature lapse rate becomes steeper, and we have warming. ​ Both effects (of transpiration and clouds) will be global and both effects will involve how forests handle water. Now let me show that both effects are very real and significant. ​ First, if we are looking at clouds, we have evidence that the record heat in 2023 could have been facilitated by a biospheric breakdown, because we know that in this year the Amazon suffered an unprecedented drought and there were unprecedented forest fires in Canada. In both cases, transpiration and cloud formation were drastically reduced. We can see that cloud cover was reduced over the Amazon and the adjacent oceanic regions. There is an additional hotspot of cloud reduction over Canada. ​ This is backed up by our knowledge of how efficient forests are in generating low level clouds that cool the earth. We can see that the the more productive forests are, the more efficient they are in generating clouds. While when we change them for non-forest systems the generation of cloud cover is drastically reduced. If we saw this 2023 anomaly after a drought in the Amazon forest that was mercilessly plundered, especially during the Bolsonaro times with increasing logging and burning, then now if we have this large-scale deforestation project in Indonesia (MIFEE), we are explicitly asking for more acute global warming. ​ Ironically, these terrible developments are facilitated by the carbon-focused narrative. Much of the argumentation behind this huge deforestation project in Indonesia is that they will have green fuel, like a renewable fuel, but instead this will actually destabilize our planet even further.​ https://bioticregulation.substack.com/p/forests-water-and-climate-time-for

Not if, but when . . . The US Ran A Solar Storm Emergency Drill And It Suggested The Real Thing Would Be Catastrophic It's a matter of time before a major geomagnetic storm hits planet Earth again. And we ain't ready for it. ​ The findings come from the Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) task force involving researchers from NASA, the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. ​ The drill, performed in May 2024, set up several hypothetical scenarios to understand how the world would respond to the threat of an impending space weather event in January 2028.​ https://www.iflscience.com/the-us-ran-a-solar-storm-emergency-drill-and-it-suggested-the-real-thing-would-be-catastrophic-79302

A new chapter in digital journalism is taking shape as the Independent Media Alliance (IMA) prepares to unveil its own Portal within Odysee’s Decentralized Media Ecosystem (DME). The Portal represents a structural shift away from platforms where algorithms and moderation policies routinely silence dissenting voices. Odysee’s model hands control back to creators, offering a space where journalists can publish, monetize, and manage their communities on their own terms. https://reclaimthenet.org/independent-media-alliance-launches-portal-on-odysee-decentralized-ecosystem

When we say that President Trump is re-ordering the entire world, we are not exaggerating. President Donald J. Trump Secures Historic $1.2 Trillion Economic Commitment in Qatar THE WHITE HOUSE MAKING AMERICAN MANUFACTURING AND INNOVATION GREAT AGAIN: Thursday in Qatar, President Donald J. Trump signed an agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion. President Trump also announced economic deals totaling more than $243.5 billion between the United States and Qatar, including an historic sale of Boeing aircraft and GE Aerospace engines to Qatar Airways. • The landmark deals celebrated today will drive innovation and prosperity for generations, bolster American manufacturing and technological leadership, and put America on the path to a new Golden Age. • Since President Trump took office, his commitment to American manufacturing and innovation has attracted trillions of dollars in investments and global commercial deals. Allies like Qatar are partnering in the United States’ success. THE ART OF THE DEAL: President Trump is securing billions in investments to revitalize American manufacturing, delivering on his promise to bring back “Made in America” and usher in a new Golden Age of prosperity. • Today’s announcement builds on yesterday’s $600 billion investment commitment secured in Saudi Arabia. • It also follows the announcement of an historic trade agreement with the United Kingdom and a joint agreement with China to reduce reciprocal tariffs. • By securing these investments, President Trump is spurring a manufacturing renaissance, driving economic growth, and creating high-paying jobs across the nation. • Prior to this historic deal, President Trump had already attracted trillions in U.S.-based investments, laying the foundation for an era of unprecedented American prosperity. • President Trump is building on his record of success with Qatar, exemplified by his leadership in the 2019 GE Aerospace GEnx engine sale to power Qatar Airways’ then-newly acquired Boeing 787-9 aircraft—a monumental purchase in the history of both companies. • As the dealmaker in chief, President Trump’s latest achievement in Qatar is another win for America.
