Bright Brief - No Kobayashi Maru for You!

The Signal Setter and the One-Way Filter

Has anything happened this week?

Well, of course we can’t be sure.

So I’ll ask again, have we been TOLD anything has happened this week?

Actually, not really, for a change.

This is the rare Info War Battlespace, in fact, wherein I find that we’re being forced to parse the difference between Actual and Narrative less than that between Narrative and Narrative … and while this particular audience is as well versed in that particular practice as any, I think we’re starting to see that the trad brains in trad world—be they media harpies or Con Inc. warmongers masquerading as ‘truthers’—are decidedly not.

And Donald Trump, as usual is the fulcrum on which the Israel-Iran narrative, not just the actual turns, and I think he's not just exulting in the current chaos, but conducting it.

There's a reason I refer to him as the Signal Setter.

(As a matter of fact, you should read that one. It’s quite good … I think, and seems to be mapping onto the current persuasion of the War of Stories quite well.)

So, what is Trump trying to tell us in between bombastic headlines trying to goad him (and by extension) us into the war that was promised?

Well, just last night, he boosted the following clip:

And the relevant quote:

“We have to trust in our Commander-in-Chief ... If there’s ONE PERSON who can stop us from being embroiled in a war, it’s President Trump …”

So, what is Trump telling us in between the baited and rather boring—to this audience—story beats?

That there will be no war, that the deals are already done, and that, as dramatic as the current narrative is, it's not actually representative of the endgame. It's just another step on the way there, as Trump continues to provoke a sifting that inexorably pushes the Collective Mind in the direction of peace.

Which some of us have been claiming literally the entire time.

How is he doing this?

1) Timeline Manipulation.

My friends

Chris Paul

and

Jon Herold

continue to remark on the somewhat hilarious pattern of narrative rug-pulling Trump is deploying against the Media Industrial Complex.

---

Aside from 'calling a lid' on White House activities in what I found to be a beautiful call-back (if not tribute) to #OurBoyBlue, Trump is alternating between high-emotion, inflammatory, warlike rhetoric in which time is of the essence ... and telling everyone to chill out because he's going to take a day, a week ... maybe two to think things over before committing to a course of action.

This is a bicameral hint: that Trump knows patriots are in control of the battlespace on an actual level, and that whatever actions need to be taken there have been or will be ... AND he's in the midst of demonstrating his control of the narrative battlespace.

The carrion crows in the media will be forced to wait for whatever crumbs he gives them, and then promptly takes back, while the sifting accelerates.

2) Sovereign (Alliance) Signal.

In between based birthday phone calls, we've seen key players in what I've dubbed the Sovereign Alliance publicly call for a cessation in western hostilities while offering to mediate peace talks that most of us believe have already taken place, chief among them Russia, China and Saudi Arabia.

This is painting them in stark contrast not just to US and Israeli war hawks, whom they're telling to "come to their senses," but also to the NATO bloc, while Volodymyr Zelenskyy performs his usual dance, conflating Ukraine's plight with that of Israel.

3) Done Deals.

In between threats of Biblical annihilation, Trump says Iran has an open invite to the White House for talks.

Jon Herold

brought up the Doha Agreement on this week’s episode of the Devolution Power Hour, and how the framework we saw consummated in Kabul could play out here.

In that scenario, we would see the central narrative wrought with kinetic chaos while the long view would see Iran end up, well, quite in the place Trump wanted them in all along, likely having signed a new nuclear agreement while being purged of mal influence, which may or may not include occupying forces.

Put another way, if you can guess the ending ahead of time, was the pathway there ever in doubt?

No.

So, what’s happening?

In my estimation, we are watching the narrative translation of a Shadow War that has already been fought, and won.

To wit, lost in the noise of the latest unverified claims of US involvement in Iran is the hopeful fact that a politically divided US is rapidly uniting around peace.

Yes, Trump will be remembered as a peacemaker, but he’s going to allow EVERY warmonger to expose himself in the interim.

That’s right. Exposure is accelerating.

So, what are the net effects of Trump's constant baiting regarding a series of peace and nuclear deals that are—in my view—already done?

A clear line of demarcation is being drawn between those who want peace ... and those who want the other thing.

This is the Trump Quicksand, which I’ve also written about at length in ‘The Master’ series.

---

---

And another word for the Trump Quicksand might as well be the Kobayashi Maru, the ‘impossible task’ template from the original Star Trek series long-time readers will know I’ve been writing about for some time.

Of course, that hasn’t stopped the alt. media brigade from picking up the signal on a significant delay.

As some readers pointed out to me yesterday, Scott Adams would like you to know that Trump is navigating the Israel situation in a manner reminiscent of Captain Kirk during the Kobayashi Maru.

And if you've been following my writing for a while, you'll know I laid out that exact scenario in 2023. I also discussed it in depth Sunday night on The Narrative.

---

---

This is a reminder that the people who now admit to having been infamously wrong about everything during the biggest mass PsyOp of all time (Covid-19,) are also very likely several years behind you when it comes to the Info War.

Yes, Trump is rug-pulling the battlespace every day because the sifting process between warmongers and peacemakers is necessary.

In short, Trump excels in no-win situations.

So, if you're interested in checking out the original piece, written in the aftermath of the October 7 PsyOp ... consider revisiting 'The Impossible Task,’ which is likely the most relevant piece of writing I’ve done that maps onto the current Macro Battlespace, even if the story details have changed in the interim.

But then, the maybe, maybe not fake-real war between Israel and Iran isn’t the only fake-real war currently in the offing, is it?

Not even close. In fact, it’s not even the one that’s been occupying the bulk of my cognitive attention, as readers of ‘Reality Wars’ can attest.

So, while Donald Trump provokes a much needed sifting in the MAGA ranks between those who want peace and those who want war, the real war is being waged in the background.

Are you catching the signal between the beats?

The invisible enemy is hemmed in, and has been for a while.

But don’t listen to me. Listen to what the man himself had to say about our good friend Jerome Powell just the other day, and that shadowy organization he represents.

As usual, Donald Trump says more between the beats than he does on the surface.

Iran-mongering aside, the real war has always been against the invisible enemy: the Bank.

Of course, that dark fiat institution (ie: those who create something out of nothing) is currently caught dead to rights by the very Game Theory pincer Trump started laying the groundwork for in his first term, before kicking it into high gear in 2020, during the engineered Covid flash crash.

Since 2022, I've been claiming that the money (fiat) printing bonanza that kicked off during the peak of the Covid hysteria was supposed to be [their] big play not just to juice asset valuations and further increase the wealth gap within the American economy, but also to kick off the very inflationary death spiral that would provoke the people into demanding solutions.

In fact, one of the unheralded, but long-time favorites among my most ardent supporters has been ‘The Spider-Man 2 Effect,’ which chronicled this very process back in 2022.

---

---

Of course, since the Fed (and all central banking institutions, for that matter,) exist WELL outside of any semblance of a free market system, their proposed solution to said inflationary death spiral would be to divert the American people onto the convenient and summarily mortal pathway of centrally-controlled Central Bank Digital Currencies.

Why?

This would give them not just unprecedented control over the money supply itself, where they would no longer even need to play semantics or shell games when it comes to how to define 'printing' in a world of digital cash, but also even more direct control over dissidents who traditionally operate on the fringes of the system.

How Hegelian.

Of course, this should remind you of the prescient and sovereign signal inherent in Trump proactively and vehemently announcing that he would NEVER allow CBDCs to be introduced into the American financial system.

---

---

So, recapping, since the Fed was deprived of its off-ramp, but was pushed ONTO its on-ramp when Trump provoked them into the very inflationary death spiral they had originally sought to kick off, he drafted off of the first two parts of their Hegelian plan while rug-pulling the third.

This is why, on the same day he reminds the world in no uncertain terms that he is not only in firm control of the Narrative when it comes to Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve, but potentially the Actual ("am I allowed to appoint myself?") he also praises the passing of the GENIUS Act Stablecoin bill, one of the keys to the emergence of the REAL sovereign financial system whose rails are being set while people are busy arguing about kinetic wars that will never occur.

Stablecoins aren't competition to sovereign assets like Bitcoin.

They're on-ramps that will likely be backed by it in the future.

They are privatized instruments pegged to national currencies.

Stablecoins, in other words are bank-killers, people, which is why the banks fear them so much, and why Trump isn't worried about the ongoing game of chicken Powell is locked in with him.

Trump isn't pretending to enjoy himself. He really is, because the economic transition isn't for [them.] It's for us.

This will all culminate—rather, it IS culminating—in what I’ve been referring to as the ‘Good’ Reset in the place of the Great one they had planned for us … and yeah, I’m going to drop another link here, because these really will give you a much better picture as to the current Battlespace than most anything else.

And as for my LAST link of this (sort of) Brief, if you’d like a MUCH deeper dive on the war beneath the war—that being the financial war for control of the future of value creation and yes, even time codification itself—consider checking out ‘The Bridge,’ the first in the ongoing Weapons of the Future series, before moving on to the aforementioned ‘Reality Wars.’

And finally, ‘Acceleratia’ represents a new stab at an ongoing series (as if I needed MORE on the go!) that combines themes, findings and tentative conclusions from basically everything I’ve ever written up to now, and I hope to get the second entry out soon.
