No doubt everyone in this community is aware, at least tangentially of the concept of PsyOps—what they are, how they can be used for good or ill, and by any and all sides in a Fifth-Generation (ie: modern psychological) war just as ‘hot’ deployments are actioned in conventional, ‘boots on the ground’ warfare.
From the COVID-19 Scamdemic to the influential and sometimes-controversial ‘Q’ Op, an easy way to distill the concept of the current kaleidoscope of PsyOps running through every communication network and device in the world every minute of every day is this:
There is currently a war both FOR and AGAINST your mind, and that of your fellows—one being contested on so many fronts, both conscious and unconscious at once that its sheer scope is nearly impossible to fathom.
And yet … I firmly believe we are winning this war, daunting as it may seem, if for no other reason than the twin facts that the human spirit in concert with a trained, discerning and intentional mind has the potential to shine through even the most insidious and ingenious PsyOp, and the fact that, as I have argued before, doors to the mind open both ways.
In the last Bright Brief, we discussed Biden’s almost comically-absurd and disturbing ‘Red Sermon,’ and used it as the means to highlight how quickly Narrative Deployments can and are resulting in Narrative Whiplash in recent weeks.
From the horrid [for them] optics of the blood-red spectacle whose architects seemingly couldn’t decide whether they were trying to terrify or unify—or perhaps unify in terror—to the spectacular dissolution of the legitimacy of the Mar-a-Lago Raid and the ensuing national reputations of the U.S. intel agencies and their controlling Administration, to the recent ‘white flags’ raised in the worn out and downtrodden COVID-19 campaign with high-profile resignations and changing (ie: disintegrating) guidelines, the stories the powers that would be are using to control the emotional—and therefore, psychological—state of the nation are burning half as bright and winking out several orders of magnitude more quickly.
In addition to proving the point about the rapid deterioration of these narratives compared to the iron grip the media industrial complex once had on the Collective Mind, the very fact that the enemy continues to ‘warp’ from story to story, push to push should reinforce the idea that, if the enemy believes the narrative war is worth fighting to the last neon MSM news chyron and readerless D.C. politico editorial section, surely it is.
Narratives, more so than affording the storyteller to control and influence the emotional state and decision-making apparatus of the subject population also grant the deploying party the implied mandate to make decisions precisely FOR said subject population.
Need to demonize a political opponent who’s been making the rounds on the independent circuit, stirring up support for sovereignty and constitutional law? There’s a narrative for that.
Coffers running dry on account of no new foreign ‘wars’ with which to justify untold trillions in defense and logistics spending? There’s a story for that, too, and this one might just add in an ‘Actual Event’ for good measure—all the better to stir up the correct amount of patriotic, moralistic and ultimately doomed war-mongering for the requisite deployment.
Still, narratives, like all the best stories, are best given time to both incubate in the planning stages and marinate in the deployment stages, all the better to ensure the most gradual, practical and ultimately effective means of ensnaring as large a slice of the Collective Mind as possible, for as long as possible before the next narrative deployment is needed.
Using your own intuition and recollection, and thinking back on recent ‘fear and anger’ pushes coming out of the corporate media and political machine in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and the CCP in recent months, does it seem to you that they are following the above advice, or does it seem like their narratives are being deployed so rapidly and so reactively, that they are cannibalizing themselves both in terms of logical consistency in the form of increasing contradictions, and in emotional potency?
After all, how is one to be afraid of Vladimir Putin, an impending Economic Crash, a ‘virus’ that is far from defeated as it waits in the darkness, gathering strength for an 87th wave soon to sweep across an unsuspecting and woefully unprepared nation … oh, and the apparent imminent heat death of the planet on which all of the above is occurring in between depressing trips to the gas station and grocery store?
Rather than focusing in on specific narrative deployments today, I would implore my readers to ruminate on the sheer multitude of them in recent months and even weeks, and meditate on what that implies for the powers that would be.
In my view, the Deep State and all its informational and narrative vectors resembles an animal grown desperate in its death throes. Its attacks still pack some bite and its claws are still sharp, but aimless and delivered without conviction. They are the fakes and feints of a creature growing accustomed to its gathering doom, more concerned with deciding the manner and place of its ending rather than avoiding it entirely.
[They] are caught in a self-fulfilling prophecy—a Hegelian death loop that once more recalls my frequent use of the Ouroboros imagery.
But then, today’s Brief has perhaps strayed a bit too far into lyricism for some.
Then I’ll leave you with a few more practical datapoints plucked from the very headlines that used to rule the emotions of the world, and implore you to re-read and consider the above not with their content in mind, but with the mental state of their composers instead:
The Beast is afraid, its own domineering mind shrinking from the perceived challenge of a Collective remembering its multitudes, and the power that comes from its reunification.
This globalist, subversive and once-cunning Deep State collective has become a shrinking and siloed collection of twitching, reactionary tyrants. Even in a psychological war—one based on information, communication and narratives—[they] never wanted a fair fight.
Because it’s the one fight they know they cannot win.
Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.

I believe we owe our greatest thanks to Operation Warp Speed for the accelerating the unraveling of their schemes and narratives. It is brilliant. Much like a tank that has a broken track-pin. It'll move at full speed only for a little while but soon enough, the whole track slowly rolls off leaving the beast spinning in circles, heaving mud and dirt all around them in a frenzy, only to come to a [dead] stop. While this demise continues, we must mount our legal and constitutional assault on the [DS] and their plans by VOTING in person ... ALL OF US .... on election day... and keep on calling them out for each ... and every .... lie ...... and crime they commit. Never give up, Never give in, Never stop, persistence wears away the greatest of stones and will surely win this war. God Bless you Burning Bright, God Bless you.

Love your way with words here. Great analogy.
