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.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Don't know about other frogs, but I'm pretty sure I experience natural (imo) and understandable fluctuations with how I interact with the infowar. And, by infowar, I mean everything that is going on in the world that comes to me via the information I access, and the multidimensional conflicts (wars) that the information narrates.
Anyway, the current Iran situation seems pretty darn crazy. How much of what we see is actual, and how much is performative, and how much is pure narrative, frankly, I think its impossible to know.
But the level of volume that DJT has been putting out seems really intense. From scathingly confronting Europe and the EU and Nato, to his commentary on the Iran situation, to his slamming the Democrats, the MAGA or not so MAGA influencers, and everyone in between, whew. It feels like an informational hurricane of sorts, total narrative storm.
And then, to top it all off, DJT puts out the totally wild depiction of himself in an almost messianic image, healing and with spiritual warriors behind him, and people lovingly looking on.
Whew. I mean, seriously. And, I find myself asking myself, what is he doing????
Feels kind of like a full narrative overwhelm operation is underway. I mean, analogous to the total decimation (according to the DJT narrative) (?) of the Iranian IRCG war machine and regime, blanket bombing and decimation of all (reported) military resistance capability, it kind of feels to me like Trump is doing the same thing in the infowar narrative sphere.
I'll say one thing. It's pretty darn interesting.
But also, in the face of this total narrative carpet bombing, I feel like I may need to take a bit of a back seat, mentally, for a short spell, while the storm rages. Because I currently have no idea where this is headed.
Which I'm OK with, really. A long, long time ago I figured out that unless I am comfortable with not knowing stuff, I'm going to suffer a lot of unnecessary inner anguish.
It's good to be comfortable with not knowing stuff. And grasping for 'knowing stuff' desperately is a behavior that inspires more difficult emotions than not. Learning to be at peace internally is really darn important.
Anyhow, whew. What the heck is that man up to???
Time will tell, most assuredly. In the meantime, popcorn break, and back to gardening for a short spell.
Yep I've checked out for the time being, it reminds me of that time with the Mueller case, was a bit much. And I didn't mis much when I returned. God bless
Glad I'm not the only one, thanks for your words. Time to relax and float for a little bit.
Yes, definitely recommend a float. This helps position one to be ready to re-engage at the right time, instead of expending unnecessary energy.
The first thing they teach EMTs is that you can't take care of anyone else if you don't take care of yourself first.
What's an EMT?
but yeah.
I read that as pure trolling the Zionist factiont that was hoping to bring about Messianic End Times Fake Prophecies.
He is fighting systems thats not even visible to us while using the optics of "Iran War". None of his rhetoric is aimed only at Iran. My guess is that by the time all of this is over, Hormuz Strait would have become obsolete.
I suspect that that Trump/Jesus image is a trolling of the pope and those who blindly honor him. Trump placed his own head on Jesus and changed the background to American dominance. Now place Leo's head on there and change the background to what real pope dominance looks like and ask how it's any different?
Of this, I have no doubt.
I mean, obviously. VERY obviously.
Occasionally, I find myself bumping into periods of extreme spiritual intensity. The time of the 2016 election was one. To me it seems like the entire spiritual dimension was at extreme heightened focus, with a massive battle between the light and dark forces. There have been a few other times like that.
The current situation seems that way to me, too. Ramped up intensity to the max.
It's not as if I think trump isn't doing the things you refer to. It's obvious to me he is. But to quote someone on a different channel, 'discombobulation'.
All I'm saying is that at such time, I find it personally beneficial to step back and let the clash play itself out. That's all.
I agree, I find the current period extremely spiritual as well.
