(Author’s Note: Some of you may have noticed it’s been a hot minute since I dropped a Brief, a long-form feature or, well, much of anything around these parts aside from links to recent episodes of The Narrative, which I hope you’ve been enjoying.
Well, as I’ve said in recent pieces, new fatherhood has brought with it as many challenges as joys, all of which I would accept a thousand times over. That said, now that I AM forcing myself to sit down and power through … whatever this is about to be, know that it will decidedly NOT be brief, but I do hope it helps to paint a picture, and that picture’s slow, steady and then quite sudden shattering.
Truth. Discernment. Logic-Based Positivity.
That is what I have and will continue to endeavor to do in these digital pages, and all by passing the Info War, the Shadow War and every other name our struggle against the dark powers of this world has through the lens of Narrative Warfare. But most of all, I want these features to not only help pull sovereign signal from the engineered noise, distill it and translate it, as far as I see it, but I also want them to stand the test of time.
Sure, many of these works depend at least partially on the ‘current’ story cycle—a fact that can sometimes lead to a bit of cognitive paralysis on my end—but even then, I hope these writings might act as a sort of Info War Journal down the line, with all their flaws and (hopefully) distilled truths preserved in tiger’s amber. And as you’ll see in this piece, sometimes, the current story renders those of the recent past even more relevant than when they were composed, which is why I encourage you to set aside the links to previous writings, and either revisit them with new framing, or check them out for the first time along your own awakening journey.
What’s more, I try to bake in first principles into the core of all these distillations and explorations. Sometimes I’ll have Briefs. Sometimes I’ll have features. Sometimes, when I’ve been delving deeply into the Matrix in too many directions to map cleanly into a cohesive narrative … I’ll craft, again, whatever this is about to be.
Call it a behemoth, if you will—albeit one split into parts, for your survival—one that will attempt to map the current Matrix, as I see it … and how it’s being broken everywhere, every way, all at once.
These parts should be treated more as layers in a series of concentric circles that are at once expanding and contracting. Repetition of theme and subject matter isn’t meant to be frivolous, then, but reinforcing. As the System collapses in on itself, a new one emerges to take its place. This relationship is not sequential, but simultaneous, and I have come to believe our mapping of the war needs to adapt accordingly.
As always, if you get anything out of these free writings and the mind that powers them—or if you just want to pay me to make the Bicameral voices STOP!—consider supporting the work I do in the form of Paid Subscriptions to this publication [cancel at any time,] or Coffee Donations. It does not go unappreciated.)
Now … what’s happened—rather, what have we been TOLD has happened since the last time we spoke?
Everything!!! Some of you shout?
NOTHING! Others decry.
Quite a bit of in-between?
Well, wherever you currently land in that particular debate, I think my time away from the writing has reminded me that, sometimes, you’ve just got to let the simulation run for a while … and the simulation is a story.
And its lead protagonist, at least for now, continues to be Donald Trump, the Signal Setter, which is why my most recent long-form argued once more for him as earning the title of prime cognitive cypher of our time.
The Signal Setter
(Author’s Note: I apologize for the lack of long-form writing in recent weeks, but hope you enjoy the following attempt at distilling the current nature of the battlespace. If you do, please consider the appeal at the bottom of this piece to support the work I do here, which always has and always will be free. Support in the form of
After all, as I argued in that piece, how often is Trump’s proposed solution where the story—and the consensus that follows it—right where we end up? How often does a visitor believe himself to be in control, only for the dust in the arena to clear and reveal something else entirely?
Cyril Ramaphosa found out, just like many have found out along the way, and just like those still clinging to that stubborn liar’s sleep will, by hook or by crook.
To wit, in my estimation and observation, even the normie layers of the Collective Mind—as well as the ‘alternative’ media types who fancy themselves awakened because they correctly surmised three-letter networks were lying to them—are beginning to every so haltingly dip their toes into the realm of fifth-generation warfare by at least considering the possibility that … *gasp* … Donald Trump may sort of know what he’s doing.
Therefore, in this ongoing and alternatively escalating and undulating War of Stories we track and even participate in, it becomes more important by the day to appreciate what Trump has brought to the Battlespace, which is the Collective American Mindscape—and far beyond that—especially since another of our favorite cyphers, Joseph R. Biden may soon be departing these lands, and exiting stage left.
Whether he deserves an ignominious exit or a standing ovation for his own role in the acceleration of the awakening, I’ll leave entirely up to you, but know that, at least for me, Our Boy Blue will be a hard act to top.
But then, back to Trump, from the Art of the Deal to memetic allusions—earnest and otherwise—to 5D chess, what could possibly be a bigger negotiation to come out the victor in than the paradigm war between the false and the real? A negotiation not just against the System, but one that takes place in the American Mind, which is both the battlespace AND the prize, and, some might argue, the key power projection apparatus by both sides of the ledger.
And this battle, as I have been arguing for years now, is bicameral, and often involves what my friend
refers to as ‘total inversion.’Say … there seems to be a lot of that going around, does there not?
From Zionists and Neocons to communists and systemites, Trump has virtually every ideological base trapped in untenable positions as he simultaneously defends the Jews while calling for peace with Palestine, boosts Wall Street while tearing down Big Pharma, brings Globalism to heel while strengthening foreign trade through common sense deals and calls for peace with the east while the west warmongers, all of which is going a long way toward proving that peace was always an option, prosperity was always possible and evil was always among us … we only had to recognize it, and burn it out.
To wit, Trump is now hard-coding ‘Peacemaker’ terminology back into the central narrative in order to prep the battlespace for the next leg of the story, that being the final actualization of the War for Peace.
In Saudi Arabia, he all but confirmed the existence of the Sovereign Alliance when he said,
"Sometimes, you need enemies to do the job, and do it right. Some of the closest friends of the United States of America are nations we fought wars against in generations past. And now they're our friends and our allies."
By kicking off his 2025 World Tour in the lands peace forgot—the Kobayashi Maru that is the Middle East—Trump is reminding the people of the world that peace was always an option, which allows for the beginnings of a mass psychological reverse engineering process of exactly how the Forever Wars started in the first place ... and yes, I am talking about going all the way back to the Crusades, arguably the start of the controlled opposition dynamic that came to define the true war between light and darkness that's been in the offing since, well, the Garden.
Of course, we're not currently at war with anyone in the Middle East, officially, so starting the public rollout and narrative translation layer of the Peacemakers arc there makes perfect sense, but make no mistake, Trump's references to the ancient conflicts in the region are going FAR beyond the inter-factional conflicts between various religious and ideological sects in those lands. He's talking about the invisible enemy, and he's talking about the men who have been opposing them all along the way.
Granted, the last few decades, perhaps even generations have seen the sovereign side of the ledger summarily routed when it comes to the War for Peace, but that's not a permanent state of affairs, and rather than the US and the Sovereign Alliance layering over some new mesh of peace through CONTROL, they are instead hearkening back to the first principles, moral radiant concept of Peace through STRENGTH.
That strength needs to set its roots and pour its foundations in all of the former powder kegs, both actually and narratively, so that good and sovereign men might fight to keep the new peace set to settle upon all lands at the advent of the Golden Age. And yes, that includes 'problem' regions like Iran, Syria and Qatar—all the better to keep 'allies' like Israel in check.
And yet, ALL of this is simply a preview for the full climax of the Peacemakers story arc, which I have been arguing for several years will result in Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin shaking hands on the world stage in one of the most cathartic events of the last century, given all the engineering the enemy put into the attempt to divide the two most natural and long-running allies in the world, the American Republic and the Russian Federation.
Say, I wrote about that (again,) quite recently, and it seems to be mapping pretty well.
When it comes to said War for Peace, then, Trump’s public rhetoric may be difficult to track and contain for those who haven’t been operating from the central premise that the Sovereign Alliance is real, and is winning, so his recent ‘warnings’ to Russia (and Ukraine, and everyone else, for that matter,) come off as escalation when they’re more accurately characterized as disarmament and narrative resolution—not to mention on-ramps for continued exposure and awakening.
For example, while the media fearmongers about a quote like the following, from Acting US Alternate Representative to the UN, John Kelley:
“… time is not on the side of any who would prolong [the war.]”
… we can both recognize the headlines for the engineering they are, while also recognizing the underlying truth of the claim. Of course, your reaction to it all depends on WHO you think is prolonging the ‘war,’ doesn’t it?
Which is, in my estimation, quite the point.
But we’ll return to the War for Peace later on in this series.
For now, let’s take a trip down recent memory lane to revisit the Financial and Economic realms, two core pillars of the Matrix being stripped down and indexed for immenent restoration—after dissolution, of course.
Herein, as I argued in the recent Reality Wars, Trump is indeed giving the American people an enemy—a character and a villain—to rally against; it’s not Vladimir Putin, nor Xi Jinping, and it isn’t even Keir Starmer or Emmanuel Macron. It is, rather Jerome Powell, representative of the Federal Reserve, itself representative of, well, the central webbing of the central banking apparatus, arguably the backbone of the System of Systems, and what ties it all together.
Why the spotlight on Powell and friends?
The enemy is a system, and the system runs on fiat and faith, which are one in the same when it comes to the collectivists we fight against.
Put another way, “economic security is national security, and President Donald J. Trump is leading the way both at home and abroad for a stronger, more prosperous America,” said Secretary Scott Bessent in one of his MANY recent media appearances.
And so, while the first trade deal announcement (with the UK,) admittedly came as a surprise to me, it shouldn’t have. After all, if we want to assign outdated nation state identities or monikers to the invisible enemy, many more writers than I have proclaimed the British Empire to be the modern seat of Deep State corruption, both endemic and emblematic of the Prussian collectivism that saw its peak in world domination and subjugation on the back of the East India Company.
The signal boosting of the UK on the back of ‘Liberation Day’ lends another coded meaning to the term, then, and surfaces both conscious—to those paying attention—and subconscious allusions to the First American Revolution.
What a poetic ‘partner’ through which to announce the Second.
And the poetry doesn’t end there, with Trump’s Middle East tour shedding a blinding and perhaps cleansing light on the warmongers and nation-builders, as he called them … ancient terminology deployed with purpose in the lands peace forgot.
After all, when it comes to the War of Stories, the Optics ARE the Actuals.
Donald Trump doesn’t roll up to the club, and he doesn’t roll up to the World Economic Forum. He rolls up to the Kingdom, where he’s greeted as one of their own. And he does it with a royal retinue of oligarchs he brought to heel.
Trump’s first foreign tour as president came in May, 2017.
It was largely defined by a sword dance and an iconic/infamous photo with an orb that looked an awful lot like a Palantir, a Tolkien seeing stone. (And yes, we will actually touch on that in Part 2.)
Fast forward, and his first tour of his second term presents a mirror to the first.
2017 was a declaration of war.
2025 is a declaration of victory.
The rest is a matter of timing, and awakening. You are about to see a rapid narrative translation of Actuals that have been taking place in the war beneath the war for years.
Trump has walked in many worlds in the shadows for a long time. Now, he gets to do so in the light, because the story is just about to enter its most entertaining arc, as the Peacemakers are set to take center stage in a way they’ve largely eschewed up to now.
In other words, the Sovereign Alliance is done hiding.
Back in November 2023, I wrote The Impossible Task, which sought to pass the aftermath of the October 7 PsyOp/Act through the lens of the Great Awakening, building out from the baseline foundation that Donald Trump will come to be known as the Peacemaker, which has been core to my writing since I entered the Info War.
With Trump resurfacing his Peacemaker narrative in the midst of a World Tour that started once more in the Middle East at the advent of the Golden Age, I thought it might be pertinent to resurface that piece and see how it's held up.
So, why did Trump hop back and forth on either side of the controlled opposition dynamic in the wake of the Middle Eastern powder keg that was the Biden/Devo era, from Kabul to Tel Aviv?
Because, in the War for Peace, the only winning move is not to play.
"The dread spell they have cast over the populace for generations is that peace itself is the impossible task … the Kobayashi Maru. This has either resulted in despair and despondence, or dooming and nihilism … even rage.
But that’s a lie. There is always hope … even for the seemingly hopeless.
As I’ve argued before, logic and hope have a lot more in common than we’ve been led to believe.
The truth is the best story, and peace is the best reward.
In the world we’re moving toward … the dream we’re collapsing into reality, war won’t just be a nightmare we’ve woken from, but a memory we’ve chased away.
Peace was always an option.
It’s time for the American people, and the world, to choose it, and the leaders who might bring it about."
The Impossible Task
This piece is a thematic follow-up to ‘Rage and Serenity,’ and seeks to turn a statement into a question, one that may just be able to transform doom into hope … if enough of us ask it.
Now ... does that premise and conclusion sound more or less likely in light of recent days, and deployments?
Shifting focus, or rather, narrowing it, if the bulk of this budding series might come to act as an updated thesis on the ultimate war, that being the War for Peace, and while it will likely touch on virtually all pillars of the enemy’s System of Systems as I am wont to do, it’s worth starting out with the one at once most synonymous with the Deep State as it is ubiquitous to all would-be nation states struggling to define their own sovereignty in a sea of its engineered dissolution.
I am talking, of course, about the key target of Trump’s 2025 War of Stories so far, and one I only expect to escalate in the months ahead.
I am talking about … the bank.
And make no mistake, whether or not rapid fire rumors of Trump seizing the initiative to fire Powell (the modern day representative of the East India Company, of sorts) entirely prove accurate, the warlike posture is intentional, and is the key to provoking public engagement en route to cultivating mandate for change.
After all, who SHOULD be in charge of the people’s money other than the people themselves?
For years, I've been claiming that Donald Trump has the Federal Reserve caught in a series of game theory pincers they're unable to get out of, and that's WITHOUT considering the very real prospect that he currently wields direct control over the financial entity dating back to moves made in his first administration to fold the bank into the US Treasury, now led by Scott Bessent.
For weeks, I've also been claiming that one of the major theaters to watch in the next chapter of the War of Stories would be Trump amplifying his feud with Fed chairman Jerome Powell in an attempt to simultaneously provoke and disclose.
Well, in between tariff tantrums and peacemongering, some of Trump's most signal deployments have concerned the above, and most recently, he has adopted a warlike posture when it comes to what he feels the Fed should do with the US economy caught in the engineered grips of a stagflationary holding pattern, unable to further raise or lower interest rates, as the former would all but ensure a deep recession while the latter could kick off an inflationary boom that further defines the line of demarcation between the real and fake economies.
At least, that's what WOULD happen if the battlespace hadn't been prepped by Trump and his economic A-team dating back to 2020, when the (also engineered) Covid Scamdemic lent them the perfect bit of narrative shielding that allowed the administration to provoke the Fed into an unprecedented money printing bonanza that accelerated the system's fiat timeline far ahead of where it was meant to be, thus kicking national awakening into warp speed as the link between central banking action and economic strife was rendered clear to more Americans than ever before.
This is because he removed their ability to reset the global economy on their terms. And yet, a reset IS coming. Just not the one they had in mind.
You see, Trump has the public mandate, and they have firmly lost it.
Thus, Trump is GOING to get his wish for ‘preemptive cuts,’ and since the current battlespace is in the midst of a global realignment AWAY from, well, globalism and back toward protectionism, this is going to juice the asset valuations of both Main Street AND Wall Street, all while a mix of tariffs, tax breaks and the onshoring of domestic production results in a deflationary cycle that will offset the inflationary hangover that would typically come on the back of an engineered boom-bust cycle.
All the while, Trump is laying the groundwork to make sure such a spiral is never possible again, by refocusing the American mind on real systems of valuation, from profit & loss metrics to, perhaps most importantly, sound money backing, whether you're talking about gold, Bitcoin or both.
So, I do believe Trump is attempting to pull us away from the fiat system, yes ... but first, he's going to milk it for all it's worth.
In fact, one of the reasons I have yet to put out a new long-form in a while is because my most recent one is mapping onto the current Battlespace pretty well.
As predicted many times in these digital pages, Donald Trump is escalating the narrative war with Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve, and the timing of it is no accident.
Recognize that, in the midst of the Trade War storyline currently dominating the zeitgeist, and the economic pincer move being forwarded by both Trump and, yes, Xi Jinping (which will be one of the core subjects of the next entry in this series,) the REAL enemy the Sovereign Alliance have always had their sights on has been the central banking class, the fiat fornicators at the heart of the corruption inherent in the System of Systems.
He who has the power to create something out of nothing is not God, but rather a man planing at one. This is at the heart of the world's problems, which is why solving the money problem has always been at the heart of dissolving the System and reinstituting the Realm of the Real.
The thing is, in order to implement sweeping societal (even global) changes to the very bedrock of both valuation and exchange, which is to say, time codification, Trump and other leaders in the Sovereign Alliance require the public mandate to not just weather the economic storms in the interim, but to intentionally lead us straight INTO them.
While the System itself is comprised of more players than we can count, the reason I analyze the Info War through the War of Stories refrain is in keeping with the observational idea that narratives are most effectively and concisely communicated through cognitive cyphers. Those are the characters on the game board, the players orbiting one another and whose narrative deployments encapsulate the various principles on display in the great war of ideas the Great Awakening is comprised of.
Powell isn't in any actual position of power, but he is in a narrative one, and Trump is using him to first expose the key role the fiat system and its centralized controllers have played in errecting the very house of cards and leverage that is being exposed to the normie layers of the Collective Mind like never before on the back of the Trade War.
This is why Trump, Bessent and Howard Lutnick seem far less concerned about short-term economic strife and far more interested in the end game, which is the complete reordering and resetting of global trade, which, again can only come on the back of a redefinition of valuation in the first place.
In other words, no matter what sort of 5D chess you believe is in the offing when it comes to tariffs and trade deals, it all comes to naught if the central bank isn't brought to heel.
What you're going to see over the coming weeks and months, then—and what you already have seen, as I predicted in these very pages—is Trump's very public humiliation and exposure ritual thrust upon the Federal Reserve through its current representative in the central narrative.
Trump is going to use their own powers against them, and then he's going to destroy them ... with our blessing.
The bifurcation between the real and fake economies is at the heart of this ongoing deployment, which you might call a campaign, and was the subject of my most recent long-form, which you should certainly check out, if you didn’t at the time.
Reality Wars
Recent features at Burning Bright have largely tracked what I see as an emergent and accelerating capitulation pattern playing out on a Macro scale when it comes to the Deep State’s System of Systems, even if said pattern is being translated to us by the Media Industrial Complex—one such subsystem of the collective—as something quite different.
And if you’ve somehow managed to find your way into the depths of the Info War battlespace without recognizing that it’s almost entirely psychological, Trump doubling down on his ability to move markets with his Truths alone in recent weeks should have disabused you of the notion that he’s doing anything but codifying the System in the eyes of the people; quite the opposite.
In fact, his doing so caused the System to respond in kind, with something called ‘Moody’s’ issuing a very super ultra serious credit downgrade … of the most powerful nation in the world by staggering orders of magnitude.
In other words, they responded to Trump’s narrative deployments with … a narrative deployment, demonstrating the utter futility of keeping the charade going any longer than is necessary to do so without shattering those whose lifeblood is still hooked into it.
But then, I’m not the only one laughing more than shuddering at the ‘downgrade,’ as lifelong economist and US Treasury Secretary—and the aforementioned—Scott Bessent could barely contain his sense of derision on the back of what was likely an expected move by the narrative arm of the financial system to defend itself, while simultaneously justifying its own pestilence.
But I’ll let him add a bit of illuminating color for you:
“[In] the history of rating agencies, by the time they get to a downgrade, everything’s already in the market,” Bessent said.
“What I think is important is that President Trump has just come back from this historic Middle East trip, and there’s trillions of dollars coming into the U.S. So we are seeing confidence from investors.” — The Epoch Times
Now that’s a bit of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot and chaser from our boy Scott, which he’s got a knack for, as you’ll see later in the series.
Here, Bessent effects something of a rapid fire fake-real dialectic, wherein he alternatively calls out the fake economy while projecting the real one—the very SOVEREIGN-based one—set to take its place, and that has likely been in the planning stages since LONG before any of us knew there was anything remotely resembling a ‘plan’ in place.
Most of all, however, Bessent doesn’t put much stock—no pun intended, this time—into the Moody’s downgrade because he knows it’s a narrative tit for tat, visiting no long-term, significant effects onto the realm of the real; in other words, the system is playing politics, because its foundation is more ethereal than actual.
Bessent knows this just as we know it. He also seems to know where the story is headed in this particular theater, and he doesn’t take too kindly to the fact that the very Media Industrial Complex—itself a core, albeit withered tentacle of the very Systemic Hydra we're taking down—that has been doing its best to retard the truth timeline of the American people is now trying to tell them the story of a future that could undo them.
In the end, the economic storytellers are the same as any of the others propped up within and by the System of Systems like parasites on a dying host, alternatively exhulting and shivering at red and green candles dancing to the whims and wiles of algorithms and the men that pray to them.
Speaking of, if you’re looking for narrative signal that key players within the System know all of the above, and are reacting accordingly, a high priest of the dark temple recently sounded the alarm with all the religious fervor he could muster.
Listen to that again. You don’t have to be an Info War sleuth to pick out the signal, as it’s dripping with as much red as much as Larry Fink’s ledgers these days.
“The United States post-World War 2 was a global stabilizer. Now, we are the global destabilizer.”
Wait … is that unfiltered, purely panicked truth coming out of the Finkster? (CEO of the real Bank, Blackrock, in case you were wondering.)
You’d best pack a lunch, Larry, for the Don has spoken … and he’s not nearly done destabilizing yet.
Herein, as he has been trying to all along, Trump is making it exceedingly clear that while yes, this is Game Theory and the Art of the Deal on the world stage … we’re also not going back to the way things were, contrary to the hope being pushed by progenitors, prognosticators and benefactors of the false reality.
And just as most bubbles begin popping near the top … the existential dissolution of the false reality will likely take its heirs apparent out first before the cascade takes its time in settling across the new macro battlespace being constructed in its wake.
Moving on to another such heir … if you’ve been following The Master of Narrative Warfare at work for any length of time, you’ll know he’s got a penchant for branding his enemies, and Powell is no exception.
‘TOO LATE’ Jerome might not roll off the tongue quite as well as ‘SLEEPY’ Joe, but I think even that is a de facto/soft signal that the battlespace is firmly in control, as far as these things can be.
Observe the narrative progression—or lack thereof—of this particular targeting operation:
Powell was late in April, according to Trump … just like he was late in May … and just like—if you were paying attention to the game within the game, he was late in 2020, when the Reverse Hegelian Dialectic kicked off in earnest in my own personal reading of Operation Warp Speed, which I detailed in a weird, signal-soaked piece I’m quite fond of, and that some of my longest-tenured readers often point out as a particular favorite.
The Spider-Man 2 Effect
In today’s Bright Brief, I’m going to employ a series of Burning Bright-specific terms, so I hope you’ve been paying attention in Bright University!
Of particular note in Trump’s ongoing deployments against Powell is the welcome—and quite humorous—fact that he’s taking a page out of the System’s playbook by cherry picking fake and largely meaningless metrics to support his underlying agenda. Not only is this effective in the current rules of the game as written, but it puts the System and its custodians and defenders in the unenviable position of not being able to engage Trump on equal footing, lest they give the game away they’ve spent a lifetime concealing.
And it’s not just Trump amplifying the bifurcation between the narrative the Fed is selling and the one he is …
In my view, Trump has left them in their own version of the same Kobayashi Maru—the impossible task—he’s saddled the warmongers both at home and abroad with, as they have two choices before them: admit the mechanisms by which they’ve (over)stated American prosperity have been fraudulent all along … or reduce themselves to their base instincts and ring the alarm bells, forcing Powell to do the very thing he knows he cannot, since the matrix is on the verge of breaking while the realm of the real weathers the storm.
You see, the Finkster isn’t the only one sounding the alarm bells, but even if our boy Jerome wasn’t held fast in a much more overt manner than most believe, he knows the panic is a feature of patriot plans, and not a bug.
He knows that the first rate cut is the pebble that heralds an avalanche … one not just of dollar liquidity, stock booms and asset revaluations, but of the long-coming reckoning with the fiat system itself, and the impetus for the bedrock real being laid beneath it to begin to rise to the surface in the tumult.
The System is turning in on itself in a last desperate bid to survive, and yet, the only move available to them will accelerate the reality divide. This pattern is also playing out across the financial battlespace, with the People’s Bank of China and the European Central Bank caught in the same multi-dimensional pincer … all tentacles of the same hydra … all enemies of the Sovereign Alliance.
And all going down.
Trump is using the weapons of the enemy against them. He’s leaning on Powell using moves from his own repertoire, and now Powell has a choice to make: cut, and juice Trump’s economy on paper to record-breaking levels, or hold the line, simultaneously muting growth while disclosing to the American people that the Fed doesn’t exist to stabilize the US economy, but to suppress it. Of course, as mentioned above, the third option is to be honest, and say that juicing asset and market valuations does little for the underlying prosperity of the American people … but, again, that would give away the game, would it not?
This is why, for several years, I’ve said Trump is going to put the Fed in the very pincer between raising and cutting rates that we’re seeing close around them like a vice today.
At the time, I referred to this the world’s biggest game of financial chicken.
Now, the financial media is starting to put the pieces together, even on the normie layers.
As I’ve also been saying all week, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are not waging a trade war against each other … they are launching a speculative attack on the globalist central banking system, as a forced decoupling of the most over leveraged financial systems in the world is going to force all central banks to inject mass liquidity at the same time.
This is all going to be occurring against the backdrop of a global reshoring trend, the beginnings of a sovereign energy transition wherein the Trump admin resuscitates legacy energy in order to supercharge both economic growth AND, ironically, the transition to new energy infrastructure and industry, and finally, the deleveraging of the US financial system through a combination of government efficiency (DOGE) and the monetization of the US balance sheet, which is to say, leveraging the country's natural value proposition in terms of land, energy and yes, human effort, ingenuity and genius, which is as boundless today as when the nation was originally founded.
(The above paragraph might as well be your preview for Acceleratia: Part 2.)
All of this will ALSO occur against the narrative backdrop (which Trump will absolutely amplify) of the central bank attempting to stop the Golden Age in its tracks.
TO wit, the REAL reason Jerome Powell doesn’t want to cut rates in 2025 is because doing so is going to break markets to the upside while deleveraging the power of the central banks he represents; this will provide the mandate for Trump to take a look at the outsized control such institutions have wielded over US markets while taking a hard look (publicly) at what’s actually backing our currency.
Nothing.
The next crisis is going to simultaneously destroy the credibility of the central banks, reveal their reticence to allow a global shift into a sovereign trade system backed by sound money while not only preserving economic security for citizens in the interim, but supercharging it.
In sum, I believe you’re about to see something completely unprecedented in global finance and economics: asset prices and markets going UP while real world prices start to come down for those who embrace national production, manufacturing and energy infrastructure, all of which Trump, Xi, Vladimir Putin, Narendra Mohdi and Mohammed bin Salman (among others not aligned with the western globalist hegemon) are doing.
In other words, Trump and Xi are going to wring whatever power is left out of the system to transfer it into the hands of the people while provoking a rapid shift back into the realm of the real, meaning real company valuations based on profit & loss, and real money based on scarcity and energy, but then, we’ll go deeper on the Fake, but also very Real Trade War between the US and China in Part 2 of this series.
For now, just try to appreciate the bromance (and it’s not the only one) that can still be glimpsed between the beats.
Now, I’m not much for numerology, but people I respect are, and well, that’s quite an 11:11 post on the 17th, is it not?
I think Trump is being honest when he says it’s ‘TOO LATE.’ The fun part of the analysis lies in projecting who is too late, and what the consequences will be.
It doesn’t make me an Info War savant to suggest that the central banking apparatus is at the heart of the Deep State’s System of Systems, and so, I think whatever plan is in the offing not only had to address the financial nucleus of the temple first, before the whole thing could be brought down on their heads, very slowly … and then all at once.
Of course, as discussed at length in the aforementioned Reality Wars, I do not believe Trump wants another massive bubble forming, which is why, beneath all the talk of stocks and assets, the foundation of a new monetary and valuation system built on the real is being laid beneath our feet, and below the conscious notice of most observers, something I plan to discuss in depth in an upcoming feature.
But for now, let’s revisit what I said on the subject in that one:
Trump currently has the Fed caught in a pincer between freezing rates and cutting them. He is pushing for the latter (and he'll get it,) which will destroy what's left of the purchasing power of the Federal Reserve note while boosting asset portfolios AND cultivating public mandate for a transition to a real money system.
He has announced the formation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve AND broader regulation for US stablecoins. Stablecoins are pegged to the value of national currencies, and de facto replace central bank notes, since private issuers MUST hold proportional assets on their balance sheets commiserate with the stablecoins/notes they 'print,' something our supposed bankers of the now have no such obligation to do.
Tariffs will result in a rapid collapse in false valuations for international conglomerates that don't get onboard with the on-shoring and value creation (ie: ENERGY) dynamic that will form the bedrock of the new American Economy.
Combined, we begin to see why the next 'crash' will be contained almost exclusively to the System, while the People are not only insulated, but buoyed as a direct result.
In other words, ‘The Master’ is hard at work, and he’s not alone.
Similarly, as also discussed in that one, when you remember Trump’s unorthodox and unprecedented moves regarding the Fed and US Treasury in his first term, ultimately, I don’t think Powell has a choice in the matter, and is marching to the beat of patriot drums, witting or unwitting, willing or unwilling.
Remember this Bloomberg gem from March 2020?
Got a bit lost in the noise there for a spell, didn’t it?
Again, from Reality Wars:
A bicameral reading of patriot control, as I have long argued, is healthy in that it can allow one to take solace in the directional, while analyzing the war on multiple timelines and against multiple layers of projected reality … all of which are coming up aces when it comes to the full realization of the Golden Age agenda, which is to say, OUR agenda.
So, whether by hook or by crook—but far more likely, a combination of the two—the beast will blink because the beast will starve without the government calling for it to print, to bleed the American people in order to feed itself and its collectivist brood … its false reality.
So, whether through game theory alone or something much more overt, theories of control have always been more logical than some believe, even if the gradation can and should continue to be hotly debated, and never assumed.
But then, we’re focused on the story around these parts, not the shadowed actuals that make it all possible. The story, after all and as I have long argued is what ultimately moves the mind, while the actuals codify the new story in the realm of the real, and with the public mandate to keep it going.
And yet … sometimes even I will admit that the Actuals are just TOO. DAMN. JUICY.
What’cha up to over at the Fed, Mikey?
Finished up with your other IG responsibilities for the Don?
And speaking of, perhaps we should round the—dare I call this an Intro?—to the Acceleratia series to a close by returning to the man himself, the key cypher in this war translated through them, and the man who’s not only steered the ship right into the storm that was foretold … but the story as well.
Trump’s ‘First 100 Days’ was both a threat and a promise, but more so … it was bait, which the enemy gladly took. By going all in against the early—and SEEMINGLY chaotic—days of his renewed mandate to lead the American people into the Golden Age, they have trapped themselves.
Do you see it?
The first 100 days have been a multi-layered, perhaps even multi-dimensional TRAP for the Deep State regime, and they've fallen right into it.
As I tried to come up with a way to condense the kaleidescopic micros into one overarching macro in the current chapter of the Info War, the Shadow War and the War of Stories, that was the one that just kept bubbling up to the fore.
Let's explore it a bit:
No doubt you've seen Trump and team making the victory rounds this week to celebrate the First 100 days, an entirely arbitrary and yet, strangely meaningful inflection point on which many presidential terms start out. While it's not ALWAYS the case, it can be argued that the First 100 Days sets the tone not just in terms of what the American people can expect from their president, but what the President can expect from the people he's been elected to represent.
Among the long line of items Trump and team have been signal boosting are a successful and immediate crackdown on US border security, the beginnings of a direct and effective Eisenhower model purge of illegal criminal aliens infecting our society, the many Actuals (and FAR more Narratives) that have come out of the Department of Government Efficiency, whose many-colored genies can never be put back in their respective bottles—no matter the drama the story has taken on in the interim—and, of course, the beginnings of a Sovereign Trade War that I have been arguing is merely the thin Narrative veneer covering a long-planned and long-needed reset of the American and global financial system.
And yet, that last point is undoubtedly the most contentious ... if you're listening to the establishment talking heads, various heads of state ... hell, the entire western hegemon, and even some of the members of what I have dubbed the Sovereign Alliance as they spar with Trump's absolute blitzkrieg to kick off what we're told is going to be a new American Golden Age.
So, why am I saying it's a TRAP?
Because Donald Trump and his team KNOW that the Trade War and said economic reset are far from finished, they KNOW that the net effects of the current period of chaotic (and yet, entirely planned) decoupling will be rocky, and they KNOW that the end state is going to result in the very Golden Age setup that Trump first promised shortly after he came down that golden escalator all those years ago, that the most infamous information dissemination program of all time doubled down on in the years that followed, and that the Biden Regime cultivated mass public mandate for before Trump's (public) return.
You see, from where I'm sitting, Trump isn't taking premature victory laps because he thinks we've won. It's because he knows we're going to ... and on the back of the very deployments and First Principles, America First tactics and Sovereign Solutions the enemy (be they media shills, Con Inc. charlatans or fake presidents the western world over) are doubling down on opposing.
Trump is drawing a line of demarcation between the past and the future, and the people are choosing accordingly.
Rather, he already DID draw that line. He did it shortly after he came down that golden escalator all those years ago. And the people already chose.
As it turns out, the enemy did, too, and now, as they enter the final rings of Acceleratia, they’re wishing they could go back.
But none of them can. And none of us would.
Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.
Note from the Author
So!
Acceleratia has begun, officially.
I sincerely hope you enjoyed the intro to what I hope will be a fun little series that I intend to stand as both an examination and celebration of the various convergences on the game board as the various layered wars we’ve tracked for years in this bright corner of the cognitive and spiritual battlefield converge in full view of the Collective American Mind.
As we’ve long predicted.
If Part 1 was a table setter featuring the foundational battle for the future of the national and even global economy, Part 2 will dive even deeper into how this battle is being fought, some very unlikely allies helping us close the ultimate pincer on the Deep State—and yes, that is absolutely a Sovereign Alliance marker—and how the war is being translated to various layers of the Collective Mind through Donald Trump and several other prime cognitive cyphers, from Xi Jinping to the aforementioned Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick and yes, the enigmatic and highly entertaining ‘frenemy’ at time of writing … Elon Musk.

Glad to see you pumping this one out BB, thanks for sharing some of your pecious family time with us.
IMHO You have the best outlook on the Golden Age... Bright!
I absolutely agree that the fiat sytem is at the center of what must be fixed to ensure Evil is defeated. Loved your thoughts on how Trump and team are working those levers.
Looking forward to your next installement.
Hope you really enjoy your 1st Father's Day next weekend.
God Wins!
God Bless!!!
As I view the 'frenemy' escapade you ended this piece on, I'm reminded of your piece "The Players and the Game" -- another piece that while still fairly young, appears to be aging quite well.
https://burningbright.substack.com/p/the-players-and-the-game:
"And if you’re looking for a bonus figure—one as enigmatic as the others and perhaps even more manufactured, and I don’t mean it as an insult—perhaps Elon Musk enters the chat as the Ranger of the group, able to harry and harass enemies on multiple layers at once, never staying in any one fight too long to stagnate, and never giving away his movements in advance of making them, instead picking and choosing his spots to alternatively stress the enemy or augment the various battles his compatriots take part in."
I'd say you nailed that one. His present kayfabe with Trump is a lightning rod. Drawing attention away from whatever it is that Trump is doing behind the scenes. While Elon appears on the surface to have lost all credibility with his 'Trump and Epstein' comment, looked at in a Bicameral way, instead he seems to be taking on the role of the court jester, for now anyway. Whenever any of these 'reveals' gets too stupid to be believable (like Kash and Bongino saying "Epstein committed suicide" in such a clownish way as to make it obvious they did not really think so), it begs a deeper look: what is really going on here, in the mists over the lake?
The most recent action provides a way for Elon to segue back to his businesses (for a while anyway) and for Trump to take narrative control of the budget scenario. There's been quite a debate going on here on Substack about the One Big Beautiful Bill, and I like Jim Schout's analysis of it best: it is a 'win-win-win' for Trump.
"It makes sense to me both ways. By pushing for the existing OBBB he is agreeing to accept the laws as written that created the over-spending. Then, he can attack the over-spending using DOGE and logic with the public.
If the Senate chops the waste, as they should, the House will agree with the cuts and Trump will sign the revised OBBB and praise the sanity. Either way, Trump wins with the idea of OBBB. It was brilliant because it will pass because the government is not going to shut down.
If it were to not be passed, Trump wins because he will prove everything will still work well without government being open. I hope you agree this is getting really great! I am loving every day!"
