Bright Brief - Lessons in Unity

From Divide and Conquer to Info War Convergence

Bright Army!

Before we get into the meat of today’s Brief, I’d love to point you folks to a mid-form I put out on Sunday that explores asymmetric and abstract power projection as we’re currently seeing it deployed in the Shadow War between patriots and Deep State politicians, specifically concentrating on comparisons between the deployments and play style of Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi, the crypt keeper still haunting the halls of Congress.

While the resurgent Bright Briefs are meant to discuss more current events, while threading Macro concepts and cognitive cyphers into them, the standalone features are what I consider the true meat and potatoes of what I’m trying to do in the Info War, which is not only navigating the informational chaos with all of you, but in harnessing, analyzing and hopefully, ordering that chaos in the form of usable Macros.

I spend quite a bit of cognitive energy on these, and they tend to be more Big Picture and less time sensitive, so add this one to the backburner to read and share at your leisure.

And as for the requisite note on sharing, the other ways you fine folks can support the work I do is by alternatively shooting a cash tip over using the Buy Me a Coffee page for Burning Bright, OR by signing up for a Paid Subscription to this humble publication, which you can, of course cancel at any time.

I know some of you skim over these appeals, and I get it. This publication is and will always be free. But again, I’ve been blown away by the fact that, in building it, people have come to Burning Bright, and in offering options to support, they are being taken.

Once more, I’m genuinely going to try to do what this audience wants more of, while also exploring in whatever directions the muse is calling me to. All of which is to say, your support does not go unnoticed, nor unappreciated.

With all that preamble out of the way, what do you say we get on with today’s Brief!?

He’s back!

And he did so in the most Trumpian fashion you could imagine, first teasing—you might even say, ‘trolling’—his long-awaited return to X (the platform formerly known as Twitter, and formerly controlled by the Deep State’s System of Systems,) by first running ads on the platform that had some jumping the gun a few hours early.

But Trump did indeed make his official return to the largest communication platform in the world, and he did so by dropping the following campaign video:

He followed it up by setting the stage by first contextualizing it, directly holding up both a mirror to the Biden-Harris-Devo Admin, while also cluing those in who’ve been paying attention to the Shadow War behind the public-facing Info War that said mirror wasn’t a bug of ‘The Plan,’ but a feature:

After all, how many Americans can respond to the rhetorical questions above with anything other than either full-throated MAGA endorsement … or the silence of the increasingly siloed, increasingly irrelevant social and political establishment?

Trump followed THAT one up by teasing his interview with X CEO Elon Musk …

Before dropping a shorter promo that—drained of all color and pretense—states the goal quite succinctly, and directly:

So, in back-to-back clips, we’ve got Trump’s rhetoric morphing from, “They’re not after me; they’re after you,” to, “This is the final battle.”

While such promos would have—and perhaps still do—seem a little dramatic to the normie layers of the Collective Mind, what they also accomplish is setting the tone for the final stretch of the 2024 Trump Campaign, and with it, the MAGA movement, priming the pump for a battle for the ages between our movement and those who would stand against it, while sucking what remained of the proverbial oxygen in the room from a Kamala Campaign that has already reduced itself to staging fake rallies and regurgitating Trump’s rhetoric for pity cheers among paid influencers, and to the shocked dismay of the self-described commentariat in Washington DC.

(Which makes you wonder just how long the Deep State is going to keep up the pretense that Kamala-Walz is actually the ticket they’re going to throw into the meat grinder that is a real election battle with Trump-Vance, or the most unimaginably laughable covering of a fake election win by one of the only tickets significantly worse than the one that secured fake victory the last time out.)

You see, what even Trump’s advertising ahead of his return to the world’s largest communications platform—along with the mass cultural event that was his interview with its CEO—demonstrates in no uncertain terms is that the Establishment is operating from a premise of Trumpism. Trumpism is the core foundation of all conversation, all argument … all deployments in the current sociopolitical landscape.

And as I’ve argued many times in these writings, when you find yourself arguing from the opposition’s premise, you’re already losing. Donald Trump hasn’t just set the Battlespace … he IS the Battlespace, and the Deep State isn’t even trying to disabuse anyone in this nation—in this world—of that notion.

As for the original inspiration for this piece—that being the sit-down between Musk and Trump—what struck me first about it is the fact that both men managed to convince the vast majority of the American Mind that this was an organic event, even though those paying attention have been projecting the convergence of these Mind-Movers in the Moving Mind for some time.

From Trump’s long-ago sparring with Musk in the media to Musk’s pointed refusal to engage in the political space at that time, to the rapidly-evolving posture of Musk as an American business and technology leader to one of its key Culture-setters, now firmly entrenched in the Culture War that runs parallel to the Info War we’ve been fighting for the better part of a decade, to Trump’s recent endorsements of Musk’s companies, technologies and even his bravery … the signs have been there for some time that this seemingly-organic union in the zeitgeist wasn’t just inevitable as a force of nature, but planned, likely long ago.

And please don’t for one instant pretend that some of us didn’t see it coming, as I wrote almost two years ago about how these two great Mind-Movers in the American Mind were navigating opposite sides of the sociopolitical terrain in order to hem in the Deep State’s Narrative apparatus in order to prime the mass psychological pump for their eventual (public) alliance.

To wit, observe some writing from December 2022 that I think has aged quite well …

The Twitter Files and the Narrative Deployments of figures like Trump and Musk aren’t necessarily for this awake and awakening community; they are for our sleeping fellows, teaching them to pick up their intellectual picks and shovels for the first time while we shield our eyes from the sun, as we set ours down for the moment, gazing up out of the canyons of dark discovery to see others being prepped and primed to join us just as we seem set to delve into harder ground—perhaps even the bedrock that makes the System of Systems up.

These Narrative Deployments are not accidental. They are not correlated; they are coordinated.

And coordination leads to causation.

To me, the Narrative Pincer move we’re seeing develop between Trump and Musk is a thing of beauty, as it is not only resulting in predictable reactions from the Media Industrial Complex, but it’s creating incredible and effective tension within the reachable middle of the Collective Mind, even within those ideologically opposed to the core tenets of the MAGA/America First movement.

This reachable middle is getting hit from both sides, and now find themselves advocating for the very principles they would leave to the dustbin of western civilization.

No doubt many of us believe that everything we’re watching as we attempt to find the strings manipulating and giving life to the shadows on the wall has been planned long ago, and to our benefit rather than our detriment.

Elon Musk is the current vanguard in the public Information War, while Trump seems to be moving on the edges of the board.

The two are running congruent and complementary Narratives in an unacknowledged, but somewhat obvious Pincer Move, and while the Media Industrial Complex is their current focus, we are already getting hints as to the future direction of this psychological and informational alliance.

The mass exposure of the Deep State’s censorious mechanisms are simply priming the pump and clearing the board for the disclosures to come, with Musk acting as the public ‘digger’ as Trump lies in wait. — From The Master - Part 4

And I wasn’t the only one, as we’ve discussed at length the impossible (quite literally) serendipity between Musk’s position as the largest Department of Defense contractor under the Trump Admin (thanks for that juicy nugget, Kash Patel!) to his inexplicable ability to seize the Deep State’s most effective weapon of informational deployment and control, but only after Sovereign Alliance member Mohammed bin Salman primed the pump in the Twitter board by seizing his corrupt brother Al Waleed bin Talal’s assets—the one man who ostensibly stood in the way of Musk’s takeover.

None of which is touching on the convergence between former (and back again) Trump allies in the financial landscape such as Ike Perlmutter and Nelson Peltz and Musk’s agendas, both public and private, in the months leading up to his official endorsement of the one true POTUS following the attempt on his life that turned him into perhaps the first-ever “Living Martyr” in American history, as I wrote about at length in the immediate aftermath of July 13 …

All of which is to say, the Plan isn’t just some empty platitude; its gravity can be felt, and its tendrils can be seen, if you’re paying attention to the Actuals beneath the Narratives, and if you can gain comfort projecting the Narrative direction in the War of Stories on the back of the intent of its various players.

The rest, as I have and will continue to argue time and again in these digital pages, is a matter of timing … and Awakening, and in case you hadn’t noticed, that timeline is accelerating of late.

And so, it makes perfect sense under this framing why Trump’s return to Twitter/X was and is a mass cultural event to all layers of the Collective Mind simultaneously, just as Musk’s proxy brokering of the move in the first place cannot be seen by long-time Info Warriors as anything other than the public codification of plans laid some time ago, rather than an organic and perfect ordering of awakening and engaging narrative deployments that perfectly align with the sort of wake-up and take-back operation we’ve been tracking since the advent of the Q Drops—and before them, Trump’s original announcement and declaration of war on the Global Oligarchy way back in 2015.

And yet, the fact that said convergence and ‘Actuals’ cascade can and IS being seen by the vast majority of the Collective Mind is proof positive that waging a War of Stories in search of and defense of First Principles and radiant sovereignty in order to undo an era that has come about on the back of a lost century resulting in a Story I believe we lost control of with the advent of the World Wars … was the right move, because it was—because it IS—the winning move.

Just as long-time Anons were probably thinking of the “Look to Twitter, Exactly This” of it all in the immediate wake of Trump’s return to the platform, the fact that the moving mind is being moved by these Bicameral and converging Mind-Movers at this stage of the Info War is itself all the evidence we need that the plan isn’t just abandoned, but humming along quite nicely.

Which the enemy knows better than anyone.

And so, while I could and likely will discuss the “Actual-Narratives” to come out of the Trump-Musk interview, I’m much more interested, for now, in zooming out and taking in the sheer mass psychological, political and cultural gravity of the fact that this interview—that this “organic convergence” that was anything but—happened in the first place, and at a time in both the temporal and, more importantly, informational layer of the War most Americans don’t even know is taking place that is as motivating for us as it is demoralizing for [them.]

Because of the net effects this convergence will and is visiting on the observing Collective Mind.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are figures more than men in the current global zeitgeist. They are Mind-Movers in a war for and in the Collective Mind, with the one side attempting to control and subjugate that Macro as the other attempts to free it, by first convincing it that it was asleep—that it was controlled—in the first place.

These men—these symbols and cyphers to Awakening—are both burdened with and comprised of the sum total of stories put into them, projected by them and orbiting around them. They are, as I have and will continue to argue, characters more than players, and characters are the core animating engines of stories, which this war for the future of the Collective American Mind and Soul is made of.

These are figures—cyphers—onto which the observing audience imprints, and I believe these particular figures are cyphers to Awakening, while their antithesis—those we’ve been tracking for years, if not decades, but that our sleeping brothers and sisters have only just begun to notice—stand opposed to them, and so, opposed to us, a truth that seems obvious only after the full breadth and scope of the Deep State’s System of Systems is reduced to a collectivist fever dream of mute and subjugating sameness masquerading as diversity, variety and progress.

This Bicameral, Paradoxical dialectic begins to demonstrate how even villains in a story can move the observing, engaging mind in the right direction, so long as they are indeed observing with the right mindset. It’s less about colored hats and the specific characters themselves, in other words, and more about analyzing what they’re saying, and what direction they’re trying to Move the Mind in:

Collectivism … or Sovereignty? 

Musk and Trump may represent—to the normie mind—very different men, but both are infamous for an embracing of First Principles, which is why the machine has found itself in the unenviable position of trying to tear down First Principles reasoning itself, which is the first layer of human thought and belief construction that rests atop the foundation of baseline, observable truth and reality. 

From gender to the very concepts of good and evil, the System has been baited into arguing that such things are relative and loose, movable as the moving mind itself … but they are not. Americans … humans KNOW they are not, and figures like Trump and Musk are shining beacons of First Principles reminders not only of those underlying truths, but of the right—of the NEED—to forward them at any cost.

So, what do I think of Donald Trump’s conversation with Elon Musk?

I think Coordination = Control.

I think that, if you've been engaging in the Info War for any length of time (hell, if you KNOW there IS an Info War happening at all,) it's impossible to read the current string of convergences as anything other than proofs of patriot plans.

Hell, even the simulation can’t help but to wink at us … unless, of course, this particular headline is the work of patriot ghosts in the machine. (h/t

Jon Herold

.)

If you know, you know …

And so, finally, I think it’s impossible to believe it’s a coincidence that Elon Musk was the largest DOD contractor under Donald Trump's Administration, "took over" the Deep State's largest Fifth-Generation Weapons center and publicly endorsed the man who never lost the mandate of the people in the first place before helping him summarily bridge the gap to the reachable centrists and disaffected liberals in the midst of the latest in a long line of Deep State candidacy crises … with more to come.

First, they divided to conquer. Now, they're coming together to unify.

So, why Trump and Musk? Why are these THE two central figures in the sociopolitical zeitgeist at present?

Because this meeting—this convergence—of minds occurs ahead of the final unification of an American Mind that has been trapped into a false binary for the better part of its history—a binary it must escape if it is truly to build itself anew in the era of Awakening into the City on the Hill it was always meant to be.

A city under God and of God.

And before one buys into the first principles that underly all deployments by patriots in the war for the Public Mind—and with it, the future of this world—they must first buy in to the story being told, and stories are only as good, only as EFFECTIVE, as the characters that inhabit them and bring the dusty pages to life.

Which is why I will never get tired of restating my most-stated refrain, dear readers:

We’re in a War of Stories. And we have better writers.

So, while the Media Industrial Complex screeches and wails, while Con Inc. influencers and Wolves in Sheeps’ Clothing hedge their bets, and while sleepers slowly drift toward the brightening light of awakening, led by one Mind-Mover or another … do remember that you’re allowed to enjoy watching the beautiful tapestry unfurl.

Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.
