Bright Brief - Comms Control to Major Don

Taking Back the 'N' Word ... And Much More

I’m back at it … in the wee hours of the morning … or was it night?

Either way, if you’ve been enjoying these Briefs, which I suppose are akin to Info War journals—my more quick hit thoughts on the War of Stories in the midst of the chaos—as opposed to the longer-digesting content I put out more occasionally, consider supporting the time spent on it in the form of Paid Subscriptions to this publication or one-time Coffee Donations.

This work will always be free, but the support helps me justify producing more of it, and more regularly.

Before you get into the following writing, I’d highly recommend checking out my recent run of Briefs on the subject of the very impactful (in a real sense) fake war playing out in Iran over the last few days, and its long-term impacts on the War of Stories.

• Axis, Allies ... or Both?

• No Kobayashi Maru for You!

• The War for Peace

Now … onto the next one …

And we’re going to start this one with a comm direct from the Commander-in-Chief (and in MANY more ways than one) himself.

---

---

Now THAT, ladies and gentlemen is a damn comm, and I’m not one for drawing red boxes, lines or matching drops, even though I have written extensively about the most influential information dissemination program of all time, and consider it highly relevant and useful when used in the right way.

All I mean to say is, when Trump drops a hammer of a comm like that one, my first instinct isn’t to match it to pre-existing intelligence—even if that could avail us well—but rather to marvel at just how obvious it seems that this one is meant to clearly communicate to ALL layers of the Info War battlespace that, well, Trump isn’t clearly communicating at all.

That’s right. My ‘hot take’ on this particular comm, offered in the very midst of a narrative blitzkrief on either side of the pro and anti-escalation divide that has come to define the Israel-Iran crisis is that Trump is simultaneously warning his and our enemies, assuaging the fears of some who’d been spooked by the week’s stories (and perhaps a few actuals to go along with them, for seasoning,) all while playing with his food.

As I’ve been arguing for years—and I’m far from the only one—Trump doesn’t place words into quotations for no reason, he doesn’t emphasize terms without conscious thought and he VERY often tells us very much with very little.

(Unfortunately, dear reader, as you’ve no doubt come to either appreciate or grudgingly accept as a member of the growing Bright Army, my own particular cognitive style is prone to the weave.)

So, what exactly do I think Trump was and is trying to tell us with this talk of B-2 pilots, ‘deals,’ ‘hits’ and irony?

That the story is the key, and always has been. That the actuals that may or may not have occurred on the ground half a world away, confirmed or denied by dueling intel agencies and their media apparatchiks sharing and cropping satellite images pale in comparison to the true measure of Info War control—of fifth-gen warfare control—which rests in prepping the narrative terrain in such a way that to even offer a counter narrative to the dominant, established paradigm in rapid formation is to commit mass psychological suicide in full view of the Collective Mind.

And where governments (ie: Systems) are concerned, that suicide comes in the form of a loss of public mandate.

All of which is to say, I believe Trump is being both cagey and direct when he references stealth bombers, hits and irony itself in the midst of a possibly-real, possibly entirely narrative—and, as I’ve been reminding my readers the whole time, shockingly bloodless—blitzkrieg launched against the very baddest of the bad guys last weekend.

I believe he is saying that the true enemy in a nuclear age is war itself, and that the only way to defeat it is to starve the appetite for it.

In fact, this very refrain was core to the themes in Crimson Tide, which my friend

Chris Paul

and I just covered Tuesday night on Story Hour, hosted on

So, what exactly am I driving at here?

What do I believe Trump is driving at?

And what does it have to do with those dastardly, righteous Russians I’ve been writing about since I first appeared on the digital battlefield in 2022?

Well, let’s tell the story in pictures. Or rather, headlines.

The Russians’ are usually quite succinct.

Trump’s responses … less so in this case …

---

---

My oh my. Now that seems quite escalatory, now doesn’t it?

Who could have seen this coming directly on the back of the Israel-Iran chaos, then, and how is it possible to reconcile the theory of the Sovereign Alliance and the coming Age of the Peacemakers with the almost cartoonish levels of escalation we're currently witnessing?

For the last few weeks, the focus has been on Iran and its obvious tensions with both Israel and, by extension the US.

That said, something we've been discussing at length recently is the prospect that Iran could serve as a cognitive keystone or on-ramp toward the next chapter in the Peacemakers story arc, which will ironically take us through an escalation narrative long before the resolution.

One of the central claims I've forwarded for some time (and I'm far from the only one,) is that the Collective Western Mind is being seeded with the concept of a 'New Axis' meant to threaten us en route to the actualization of WW3.

While there are plenty of ancillary and ambiguous players, from Saudi Arabia to North Korea who will play out their own respective roles in the narrative, I have long posited that the primary 'Axis' in the central narrative will be comprised of Russia, China and Iran.

Obviously, Iran is currently in the crosshairs of Donald Trump, which means Iran is in the crosshairs of the central narrative as it's being translated to the Collective American Mind.

This is not only allowing Trump and Iran to 'escalate' along kinetic pathways (and again, BLOODLESS ones, for that matter,) but do so while saving face to their respective populations on the back of decades of Hegelian engineering attempting to get us embroiled in the very war Trump has specifically promised to avoid, while Israel is placed into their own pincer on either side of the long-time escalation they have seemingly championed.

Now, Russia is entering stage left, having seeded its alignment with Iran on the edges of the story before joining in a more direct and forceful way this week, on the back of Trump's escalation.

So, when you see key Russian characters not just criticizing Trump, but bringing out 'the N word,' then, I don't think you should be nervous (though many will be,) but excited, as this represents a shift toward the very first chapter of the War of Stories I began projecting in 2022, in the pages of the Righteous Russia series.

As I said therein, in order to MANDATE world peace, you MUST first have the threat of war.

This may be starting with Iran, but it was always going to end with a major ALMOST confrontation between the world's great superpowers, who WILL find those long-obscured pathways toward a true and lasting peace in the aftermath of a narrative war.

When you boil the Info War and the Shadow War down to a narrative level, you begin to see that the War of Stories isn't just a more effective way to engage with the various moves being made by the leaders of what I've dubbed the Sovereign Alliance, but also the WHY inherent in the way they choose to communicate in the first place.

It’s quite possible that we're going to be led up a rapid ramp toward a NARRATIVE Scare Event that will likely be identical to the plots of The Hunt for Red October and the aforementioned Crimson Tide, making public mapping that much easier.

And yes, I did say this some time ago, specifically in one of my most enduring pieces, Scare Event:

Most recently, Russia is again leading the narrative charge, with Vladimir Putin making some admittedly-dramatic comments in an address to the Russian people to coincide with the mass mobilization of more than 300,000 reservists into active duty in the Ukraine Special Military Operation that could soon escalate into a full declaration of war.

In his address, widely circulated in virtually all global media, from the corrupted mainstream to the subversive to the earnest, conspiratorial and ostensibly more truthful, Putin gave his most firm warning yet that, should NATO-aligned countries seek to impede ‘liberated’ Ukrainian oblasts (states,) from voting to join the Russian Federation, their aggression would be met with overwhelming—and even Nuclear—force.

As to whether or not these threats will manifest into an Actual Event, I have serious doubts. That said, at Burning Bright we don’t only look at the Actual; we spend much more time delving into the Potential, that being the Narrative impact of such statements.

And make no mistake, Putin’s warning absolutely qualifies as a Potential/Narrative Event, highly relevant to any discussions of Fifth-Generation Psychological Warfare.

Then, if even the passing mention of the great ‘Nuclear’ word that the Hegelian would-be masters have been using to terrorize and control the west for the better part of a century is enough to captivate the entire western world in shared fear as to border on rapture, I need not spend too much time arguing exactly how impactful a narrative event can be if deployed properly and widely enough.

And what bigger narrative event could there be than the ultimate, all-encompassing Scare Event?

That one might be worth revisiting, as, while I do NOT believe actual nuclear war will come to pass—if one believes it’s possible in the first place—I absolutely believe the story of its ALMOST coming to pass will come to define a period of ALMOST war, which will lead us to an age of ALWAYS peace.

But then, I am nothing if not an optimist, albeit one cloaked in logical progression and game theory principles.

Peace is the promise. War is the story.

Always has been. Always will be.

So … returning to that other narrative war that’s been dominating the Info War battlespace, and that I believe could be setting the stage for the much larger and more dramatic one that waits in the wings, how has Trump been hemming in the folks who want that central promise to be inverted?

How is he dealing with the warmongers, of which, we were so recently reminded, there are apparently MANY in our midst?

---

---

And what NARRATIVE mechanism is he using to diffuse the mass psychological bomb that is the public mandate for full mobilization, or at the very least, popular acquiescence for the very same?

---

---

---

And before we tie a bow on all of the above—because it absolutely does fit together in a puzzle that I don’t think you need to be on the spectrum to appreciate (okay, maybe just a bit)—how is the enemy, err … the media matrix responding to Trump’s assertions about the state of the Actual they were positively beaming about just hours earlier, when they believed the central premise of his narrative deployments—that being kinetic escalation against Iran—might finally grant them the war that was promised?

---

---

Why … to claim it never happened, of course. Or rather, that it didn’t quite happen the way Trump—and of course, all of them, just 12 hours before—had exhaustively reported it happened.

Why the shift, then? Why the focus from the one side on claiming the thing was done, and on the other by claiming that it was not?

Because, put simply, the former storyline deprives the latter of its core mandate, its cognitive keystone and its emotional fulcrum.

Because the former storyline takes the WHY from the latter.

Because peace will be the death of war, and because Donald Trump got the entirety of the Media Industrial Complex on BOTH sides of the controlled opposition divide to admit that the very reason Iran was ostensibly such a real and not manufactured threat in the first place was owing to the very thing he took off the board, literally and, more importantly for our purposes, figuratively as well.

Which is why Trump set up the narrative dominoes the way he did, and reacted quickly and decisively when they began to tip.

Rather, when HE began to tip them.

Trump isn’t having an argument about the actuals. He’s having an argument about the narrative.

And, as evidenced by his boosting of an uncommonly based and signal take from Steve Witkoff, it’s one he’s winning handily.

In 41 seconds, Witkoff gives away the entire game myself,

and a few have been saying from the start:

Trump has been speaking to Iran the entire time.

Trump has removed Israel’s impetus for the war.

A cease fire was codified … and now, the warmongers have no choice but to break it brazenly, or else to break the story that set it in motion, or rather, out of motion—that being the existence of nuclear weapon-making capacity at sites now rendered moot in the public mind.

All of which, I suppose is another way of saying … I don't call Donald Trump the 'Master of Narrative Warfare' for nothing, which is about as good a place to stop for now as it will be to start in my next writing, where we’ll return to the mounting ‘Russia Problem,’ the true meaning behind the ‘N’ word, and what our favorite Ukrainian dwarf king has been up to for the last few weeks as the pincer accelerates its closing around his Prussian domain.

Until then, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.
