Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

Anyone feel like most of their IRL frens never ask how you are doing? I am always genuinely interested in my IRL frens. I know they are legit frens and like me but it is strange that they never ask how I'm doing or what I'm doing.
Seems we seldom go deep with people.
Of all the people I work with, I think two ask how I'm doing and mean it.
I'm focusing on my 3 friends who actually ask me about my life. The others I'm done being interested in. They don't care about me but I care about them. I'd rather talk to people that are on the same wavelength.
6 people liked. Let's talk about this. See, I'm still reaching out when no one is asking lol.

Reading The Fruits of Graft by Wayne Jett. It is a detailed explanation of the depressions the world economies have suffered through since the days of mercantilism in the Dark Ages. Good read, very informative, highly recommended for those seeking an economics perspective.
Looks very promising, thanks for posting this.
The title seems to be a play on the title "Grape of Wrath" which was the classic, with amazing writing, but nevertheless the book that gave cover for the real reasons of Great Depression for the population.
Trump had a recent interview with that crazy lady who wouldnt let him talk (~1 month ago)
In the interview the lady asked if he would be going after his political opponents if he was re-elected.
Trump responded "NO" and that such things are only what democrats do.
If we are to take all Trumps statements as truth... how the F will we ever see justice?
You will have to post a link if you want people to listen to the context and explain to you what Trump means.
If I were to take a guess, they were trying for a soundbite to make him sound like a dictator and he was too smart for it. And technically, the president does not have to go after anyone. Thats the job for the DOJ, and all he has to do is clean it out and put patriots there.
I am pretty sure I am not saying anything here that most of us have already figured out about how to interpret most things Trump says. You rarely ever can take it literally.
Political opponents probably means people like Amy Klobuchar, Tulsi Gabbard, Ron DeSantis, Jeb, anyone he has had friendly just politics skirmishes with
So he won't go after people that just said something mean or stupid.
Riggers and Ds is another story
As long as Fauci, Zucherburg, Soros, Gates are on the list.
I'm hearing that there are discussions around Netanyahu being "retired".
Anyone like to speculate on a replacement?
deus ex machina might be on the event horizon - how about Jared Kushner?
Do you mean - retired or un-alived?
Like retirement means getting him out of the picture, so he can go to Gitmo.
I just got another backer for my novel fundraising campaign. Nice.
So, happily in my zone and puttering in the kitchen, tunes come into my head and I sing while doing housework, chopping up some feed for the cluckers, toasting a bagel, happily singing Rock the Casbah to myself, Clash, 1982 (I was 32 when it came out). Then I remembered that singing that song in the wrong place could get me beheaded. Fuck this world sometimes, you know? There are days I just disengage and live in the present, be here now kind of stuff. And I sing when I am happy, and tunes from the past always come out of my mouth. Nostalgia for a simpler time.The pop music was danceable, Reagan sent ships to the Falkland Islands was the big military event, and Bladerunner, one of the best movies was in theaters. Sharif don't like it, and we didn't care, we thought we could rock the Casbah and dance. There's no going back and I pity the younger folks who have no idea how free and easy it all was, we ruled the world as Americans, and felt safe everywhere. How naive. https://www.youtube.com/watchv=bJ9r8LMU9bQ
(For the purpose of this argument, I take the definition of Totalitarianism form here, to mean:
totalitarianism, form of government that theoretically permits no individual freedom and that seeks to subordinate all aspects of individual life to the authority of the state.
To fight back again incorrect leftist narratives, I think it important that we understand the following point as stated by Sundance at theconservativetreehouse sixth paragraph here.
I often her it stated, and I have not argue against the statement, that Communism is leftist totalitarianism while Fascism is the right-wing brand of totalitarianism, example here.) But according the Sundance's statement above, this is not true. All form of totalitarianism fall on the left.
But if Sundance is correct that "The furthest right is the absence of government", that would necessarily mean that right-wing ideology when taken to it's extreme merges with Anarchist ideology, that Anarchist are to the right, what totalitarians are to the left.
"Far right" has never been an organic position taken by real people. Far-right is either a smear to make patriots sound bad, or constructs by the alphabet agencies to create the illusion of domestic terrorism.
Of course they are not. They just want to frame things in black and white, because thats how their agendas always work.
This is why I try and engage with people who have fallen for the anarchist narratives as patiently as I can, because as we get to the awakening, the biggest risk for people who have been awake on our side is that they will fall into that pitfall.
There is a reason why the Constitution was created like it did. Declaration of Independence declares the Americans are free people, who require a limited government to manage their affairs. Constitution exactly spells out what can and cannot be done by the government.
Small Government = Least minimum representatives from amongst the people, to carry out the will of the people.
The Majority of folks are not at either extreme, they are mostly in the middle and wish to eliminate all extremes.
If today is your first day awakened, what are you doing to prepare?
Awakening is so gradual that by the time you realise you are waking up, its already many weeks/months since the first day!
Let me ask you are question BeckyDtheAmerican.
Do you think cognitive dissonance runs in layers?
Example to clarify my question:
When first confronted with the idea that a secret powerful group controlled world governments, I rejected this idea as impossible based on the premise that it is impossible to keep that big of a secret among that large of a group. Someone would have told!
The cognitive barrier to that disbelief was penetrated when I realized that people have been telling that secret, for decades, that there are tons of book written by insiders tell of this very thing. I broke through my cognitive dissonance on this issue, as I has on the 911 inside job truth, and may others.
But I was watching Fall of the Cabal, and the Sequel series on Rumble, and at some point in the story I seems to run into another layer of Cognitive Dissonance, as though to say, "Well I am willing to believe this, but that to me seems a little far fetched, to far out there to believe.
At the very beginning, and all through the F of C series, then narrator encourages viewers to do their own research. Some of the research did seemed on the origin of the Protocols of Zionism were slightly contrary to the things stated in the F of C video.
While Cognitive Dissonance my keep us from believing painful truths, I think we also have to fight against Confirmation Bias, or the willing to believe things that make us feel good.
Not my first day, but I have broken through to a few local New England folks I've known for many years. One family has had my awake wife and I over a few times and they are starting to ask questions. They said no more shots for their 5 kids.
In another family, the mom started sharing meme's on fakebook explaining how the big pharma drugs don't work as good as natural foods and remedies. I took a chance and shared a short video and link to the guy that wrote mycancerstory.rocks. She responded pretty quickly saying that her cousin has breast cancer and it recently spread to her brain, liver and bones and that she shared the information. 👈 This is coming from a family that was scared stiff of covid and actually had their young teen son live in their shed for a week to avoid spreading the illness. The dad previously thought President Trump was an idiot, but he might be coming around soon. 🤞
Hi guys. Just signed up here. Been following Q since day 1.
When that 2nd picture Dropped, I immediately figured it's the new format of Drops.
2 things
Is there a deeper meaning to Tip Top Tippy Top 1717 ? Some binary code or numerical equivalent? 14 letters but its 4 repeat letters. T I O P Theres something about that but perhaps I'm trying to hard.
Did anyone notice that at a similar time that Chatgpt is enabling Pictures, we get these Drops. But think backwards. So that what if there was WAY to plug the Q drops and or the Pictures into the AI, and get it to spit something out. Like it was meant for that, as the next level of information manifestation.
The potential seems huge. But again, maybe I'm over thinking it.
Just a thought.
Welcome
Anybody else get super pissed off when the good guy in a movie kills a bad guy who has a much better gun and then just walks off to fight more bad guys with his pistol, while leaving a perfectly good MP5 with red dot sight on the ground?! It's so frustrating
and then a couple scenes later he runs out of ammo and throws the gun, scurries around to find a pipe or a rope while still in a gunfight, like wtf man 😂
You are describing a less frustrating scenario nevertheless. The more frustrating scenario is where the good guy shoots the really evil deadly villain (where killing him would solve all the problems), and instead of just shooting one more bullet to make sure he is indeed dead, he goes off to tackle other minions, while the villain wakes up, shakes it off, and goes and kidnaps the hero's love interest.
ugh yep
Chiilll,,,,, It's only acting.
Yes and yes!

1 John talks about cosmos in 17 verses.
u/#q4915
u/#q4806

I am not sure where the word "cosmos" is coming from. John refers to "World".
And for the most part, he uses the word as referring to the "material world" and the pitfalls of being too attached to the material world. Not sure I would say he is referring to Babylon per se.
Ephesians 2:2 is interesting on the topic
The course of this cosmos is the same as according to the prince of the power of the air.
That of course is the dragon of Revelation 13.
Let me know if this is too heavy for you.
:)
Took me a while to understand what the strong concordance is, and how English words are referenced to their original Hebrew/Greek words in the Bible.
So when they use the word "World", the original word in Greek was "Kosmos".
Here is the list of different contexts the word Kosmos has been used in Bible.
None of it refer to anything close to "Babylon". Is that your own interpretation? Also, does it make sense to use a single definition in all contexts for a particular Greek word, when Bible uses it in different meanings in different contexts?
And finally, the big question - my KJV Bible has no "1 John", just "John" which contains very different text than the one you listed. Where do you find "1 John" ?
Thanks!

I don't know how to post that page, it's easy to use once you get used to it.
I did another thread on this dame topic in TD a few days later.............I tend to post things while they're hot on my mind, it's my way of researching.

I think Bablyon is a metaphor for tyranny. See Isaiah 14.

Jesse Watters says CIA rigged the 2020 election because Trump threatened its drug trafficking ring... and cash flow.

Does anybody have an idea of where we can watch President Trumps court case on election fraud if we’ve cut our cable? Will it be on right side broadcasting?
Look at the replies on Trump's instagram about being removed from the ballot
It is not just republicans, anons, etc saying they support him. It is so many different types of people.
My favorite reply was a young gangster named Jose with a private profile, but his profile picture is throwing gang signs with a buddy
"my boys got you" https://files.catbox.moe/3zb6rm.jpg
THEY can not stop what is coming. even the streets don't want to lose our country..the cabal is in for a rude awakening
We're here with open arms Jose, the label "anon" carries a lot more weight and respect than any gang could.

What would happen if everyone just quit making payments on unsecured debt like credit cards and personal loans?
weaponized autism. Same with taxes
But normies think not paying "debt" is worse than murder or rape
Base,
Banks/financial system will collapse. But you can make this happen even more quickly if everyone just withdrew their savings from the banks
I like the way folks around here think.
Cristofori's Dream...David Lanz
https://youtu.be/hm8y6kzXwEU?si=3y5v8xdXyv_RTc6Y
This is David's ode to the man who invented what he called his "pianoforte," Bartolomeo Cristofori di Francesco. It's his (David's) idea of what Maestro Cristofori might have dreamed the night before he built his masterpiece.
Maestro Cristofori built his pianos around 1720, an improvement over the harpsichord, as he saw it. The piano has changed significantly since then, but Cristofori's basic escape mechanism is essentially the same as when he originally invented it. To this day, no one has been able to significantly improve upon it. It shows the great genius of a great inventor...enjoy this beautiful piece by the talented David Lanz...
One of my favorite pieces of music. Thank you for the backstory!
Today, when talking about the ADL with family...
I accidentally called the Anti-Defamation League the American Defamation League.
That works so much better. That's what they do. They defame Americans.
In driver safety class, decades ago, the officer teaching it told us about a stop he had that he went to court to defend his position. Judge ruled with the officer. The officer had cited someone for impeding traffic in the left lane for going the speed limit. The officer stated the left lane was a passing lane & that it shouldn't be used for speed limited traffic, that he expected others to travel 10 MPH over the legal limit in that lane to pass those on the right.
Also that weird don't turn right on a red law. Visitors get fined for that all the time.
This is hilarious. And I know for a fact neither you or I are in that lane.! 😂🤣
I was born and raised in Southern California, that’s why I learn to drive. People who say a lot about traffic in LA, however, generally if it’s not rush hour, it’s always moving. I have no problem doing exactly what you explain, just to get to where you need to go. It helps when you have a vehicle that when you step on it, it will actually go. 😂🤣. Ohhhh the I5. Fond memories.
When I was living in Huntington Beach, my dad was living in the valley. Every other week and I would go visit him. Are used to try to beat my own time. The best time I got was 43 minutes. Woo hoo! And obviously that was not using the 405. 😂🤣
😂🤣😂🤣
Good Times!
Back when they were lacking radar detectors as well. They just weren’t as popular back then.
Wow, that is really good time. Are used to have to drive back-and-forth from Phoenix to bear valley springs, Tehachapi. I think I did it once in 12 hours, but I want to ask me how 😂🤣
