The National Park Service website nps.gov had this to say about the American Chestnut Tree: “By the 1940s the blight had killed an estimated four billion American chestnut trees nationwide. Where before about a third of all trees in the Smoky Mountains were chestnuts, today even single spindly saplings are rare.” The chestnut blight fungus was supposedly introduced from Asia accidently. To give people an idea of just how tragic this massive loss was, here is a brief description found on forestpathology.org of the value of the chestnut tree: “If you could custom design the ideal tree species, you couldn’t come up with a better one than American chestnut. It was a huge, majestic tree, with a very straight stem. The wood was nearly ideal. As George Hepting has written, ‘Not only was baby’s crib likely made of chestnut, but chances were, so was the old man’s coffin.’ One of its good qualities was high durability. The heartwood could be used in situations where decay was a hazard. The tree was common. It made up about 50% of most eastern hardwood forests. It grew fast and would regenerate itself by root sprouts vigorously. The nuts were edible, not only by wildlife but also by humans. It was an important food source for all. ‘The farmer’s hogs were fattened on chestnuts, and, to no small degree, his children were also.’ Chestnut was also prized as a landscape tree.” If indeed the blight did come from Asia, how long had it been in Asia, and what was its true origin? What can Creator tell us about the tragic loss of the American Chestnut?

As your question lays out, there is truly a great loss here in losing, for all practical purposes, a multiutility resource represented by the chestnut tree because it is truly a superior member of that family which is hard to replace. The pathogens causing widespread destruction of the chestnut trees were not present when this species was created by us, and that is how much of the world, especially in the U.S., came to be a home and a vibrant ecosystem in which the chestnut tree thrived for the benefit of humanity as a bountiful resource, both for food, building materials, as well as aesthetic beauty. After all, you were designed to fit into nature and to see, resonate with, and delight in your natural habitat because it was made not only bountiful but beautiful as well. The interlopers have systematically moved from one harmful idea to the next because they are functional psychopaths intent on glorying in their own power and ability to subjugate other races of beings. They want to produce pain and suffering because it is the only thing, at this point, they find rewarding given they are devoid of the ability to love or feel compassion. Unlike humans, they only care about practical considerations and do not see nature as something glorious, highly special, and divine in origin but they take it for granted and cannot feel within, the stirrings of love which put the beauty there to be seen and appreciated, for that is what the joy represents in taking delight in a beautiful sunset or a majestic mountainscape, or the vast and complex aggregate of life forms in a forest of great trees and the many other species cohabiting woodlands. It was through observing humans and their delight in nature that they came up with the idea of despoiling nature as a form of punishment. The microorganisms causing this scourge destroying chestnut trees is among a host of other examples like Dutch elm disease. All were created artificially by transforming benign organisms, whether bacteria, fungi, viruses, molds, and so on, into having harmful destructive effects. So they have worked to engineer pathogens that are particularly suited to harm a certain species, sometimes through accident, in finding such specificity, but have been successful a number of times now to come up with biowarfare agents, just as they do with human beings, in causing plagues and many pandemics of chronic infectious diseases like COVID-19. All of the harmful organisms were created in extraterrestrial laboratories, not human ones, although the latter can provide a useful cover story as a seeming explanation for the origin of such scourges. The cost of losing the chestnut tree continues to mount because, in its absence, humanity is settling for less, not that they have a choice, but this saga has been playing out for thousands of years now in a downward spiral of environmental degradation engineered to happen, not by human ignorance and excess but deliberately done by extraterrestrials as the instigators.
