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.

Praying Medic
For many OG anons, Praying Medic (Dave Hayes) was an early, prominent Q patriot, not active on the chans, but out there in the more public sphere, talking about and explaining about Q to a wide audience.
As is the case for ANYONE who posted and put forth Q-related thinking and ideas, Praying medic generated a certain amount of controversy; some love him, some hate him, and everyone has their criticisms and their praises.
One of the things I like about PM personally, is that he eschews the emotional reactions that a lot of Q commentators did or do, plus his views are informed, thorough. By all appearances (imo I guess), Hayes has never been motivated or inspired to: gain influence, become famous, grift money or somehow work the Q angle to his own advantage.
Now, that's me taking him at face value because, well, that's how he comes across to me. I resonate with Hayes' faith, his approach, and what I consider his very down-to-earth take on Q. But like I said, some will be happy to accuse him of grifting or whatever.
Hey, find what works for you and engage it, right?
Q and the Trump Administration
Anyway, Dave posted a new "Q video" discussing the recent posts and messages from the Trump Administration that show very much the Administration is deliberately connecting themselves with Q. Starting from January this year.
Praying Medic:The White House and Q June 22, 2026 (Rumble, 20 mins)
Praying Medic:The White House and Q June 22, 2026 (Yutub, 20 mins)
Edit: well worth the listen. Even if you feel you are fully up on Q, PM brings some very worthwhile and interesting perseptives, imo.
What we saw today was pretty much the most direct, and deliberate, meme-ification of Q. But they've been doing it all year. "Patriots in Control" "Hold the Line" "Trust the Plan" etc. Dept of War, Dept of Energy, Dept of Labor, etc.
One point: As Praying Medic points out, Q proofs are not absolute and irrefutable proof that Trump's administration is behind Q. What they are is a signal that indicates, through accumulation of incidents, that these incidents cannot be (well, its hard to see them as) coincidence.
Fact, Belief, And The Importance of Plausible Deniability
I mean, we, as anons, by and large accept and believe the general anonism that Trump team is behind Q, that Trump is Q+, BUT we should also be intellectually honest and admit, "this is my belief", and not equate our conclusion and belief with a fact.
Until Trump comes out and say, yeah, it was us, we do not know exactly who or what Q is. To assert that we do is arrogance. Believe? Certainly. Know? No. Why? because plausible deniability is an integral part of the operation. Must be an integral part of the operation.
Plausible deniability means that the enemy, in their various columns, are not certain and cannot assert anything with impervious surety. It keeps them guessing, in a space of suspicion but not actually knowing.
As anons, it's important for us to accept and embrace this fact. Us believing, even if we do not know, is an integral function of the way the operation has been engaging the enemy. It works for us - our side - and to deny that, and assert absolute knowledge or certainty, is to deny and overlook how important this aspect of the operation is.
This is not to deny the power of moving with conviction. That's incredibly important. But humility in the face of the limits of knowledge is also incredibly important. It grounds one, and keeps one one to learning, and being able to consider new perspectives.
So, What is Q? (According to Dave Hayes)
The Praying Medic offers a succinct definition of the Q operation: the purpose of the Q operation was to lead and inspire us, regular people, and to teach us how to research open source information and exposure institutional corruption. That's it.
Hmmm...
The Tide is Rising, Waters are Getting High, What as Once Fringe is Becoming Mainstream
Anyway, my own opinion vis-a-vis what the Administration has been doing this year, including the deliberate 'Q trolling' of the last 24 hours, is that I think that as the Plan of the Patriots unfolds and is getting closer and closer to its crescendo, there is less and less foundation for the propaganda MSM and anti-patriot inflooencers to deny and attack the whole Q thing.
Remember how a few months back, whatsisname red shoes** on whatever propaganda channel (I don't pay much attention to these) said something like "Whatever it was, we should apologize. It looks like they were right. There is an elite pedophile thing going on...." referring to Epstein.
The corruption and cancer that Q got regular folks and anons to become aware of, investigate, expose, etc, more and more that's becoming obvious to the wider population, and not just in America.
So, I suggest, hey, don't wet your pants over this recent "Q is posting .... btw, its Quantum!" from the White House. I mean, its pretty cool, and amazingly funny, too. Enjoy the keks.
Just realize, yep, the things that we knew and know are becoming more and more mainstream, which is ultimately what we want. An awakened humanity, fighting for freedom, everywhere.

What If the Work We're Busy Automating Is Needless?
June 19, 2026

. . .
As a thought experiment, let's consider two things:
1. Let's define the highest value technology as devices that operate reliably with little maintenance for many decades, without extracting any money from their owners beyond operational expenses such as electricity or fuel.
For example, the coffee maker, rice cooker and microwave on our counter are 25+ years old and still functioning reliably with zero maintenance costs. Our 1998 car is 28 years old and has required only modest maintenance to date, and given its condition, it can easily function reliably for another 12 years, a 40-year period of service.
Why this is the highest value technology is self-evident: the devices make the highest and best use of the resources consumed in their manufacture because they are durable, long-lasting and require minimal maintenance. In financial terms, since the technologies don't require the owners to pay any more than the purchase price and operational costs, the owners' costs are predictable and modest, leaving all the income they earn beyond the purchase price and operational expenses available for other uses.
All technologies that fail to meet these standards are inferior or defective. That is also self-evident.
2. Let's imagine a new law requires everyone to wear a Silly Hat in public. This requirement generates a vast and highly profitable surge in economic activity, pushing Gross Domestic Product (GDP), business profits, employment and taxes up.
The legal-regulatory sector is suddenly busy defining what qualifies as a Silly Hat, launching lawsuits challenging the laws requiring Silly Hats, codifying regulations regarding the safety and quality of Silly Hats, litigating claims of defective Silly Hats, hiring vast numbers of compliance, oversight and enforcement personnel, and so on.
The fashion industry leaps into action to design haute couture Silly Hats, designer Silly Hats, Silly Hats promoted by celebrities, Hello Kitty branded Silly Hats, and so on.
Retailers rush to market Silly Hats, offering discounts on cheap Silly Hats manufactured overseas, and promoted the "latest fashions" in Silly Hats.
Not to be outdone, the finance sector quickly generates a bubble in stocks relating to the manufacture and marketing of Silly Hats. The Silly Hat Index soars, minting thousands of mega-millionaires.
I think you see where this is going: the entire economic boom generated by completely needless Silly Hats is real, but the hats have no real value. Okay, now please take a deep breath.
I consider it self-evident that much of our economy is nothing more than Silly Hats that we call something else that sounds less silly. The percentage of our economy that actually produces life's essentials is a fraction of the share devoted to marketing, PR, unproductive "engagement," legal and regulatory busy-work, meetings, junkets, conferences, billions of needless communications, shadow-work required to deal with all the needless complexity generated by all this needless activity, and so on.
