Bright Brief - Schrödinger’s Coup

On Fake Elections, Real Coups and the Sovereign Alliance

Bright Army!

For the first time in a LONG time, I decided to dust off the Bright Brief series.

This one’s been on hiatus, as I’ve found myself stretched fairly thin when it comes to work-life balance, and thus, have focused most of my writing time on the sort of long forms that many of you signed up for in the first place.

In my long-form content, I tend to focus on the Info War through the War of Stories framing, focusing on Narrative Macros, Cognitive Cyphers and even philosophies, while attempting to merge past, present and future into a framework through which to observe the convergence between the false paradigm and the realm of the real.

The little things.

That said, I do spend a LOT of time every week reading the latest fake news and ruminating on what truths the lies are gilded in, and, since so many of you ask for my thoughts on some of the “smaller” stories of the week I don’t end up touching on in my more Macro discussions, I thought the occasional Brief might act as a good week-end tie-in to summarize my thoughts on the Actuals (but most importantly, the narratives,) that caught my tiger’s eye and managed to hold it for more than a few hours.

Please do let me know in the comments section if you like these posts, as, while I can’t promise them every week, I’ll try to get to them more often if these narrative distillations are something you folks find value in.

Additionally, since this publication is and always will be free, if you DO want to support what I do, please consider upgrading to a paid subscription by grabbing the link at the bottom of the article. A paid sub to Burning Bright will run you $7 per month or less (if you choose annual,) and can be cancelled at any time.

With all that out of the way, let’s hit some Micros and see if we can fit them into any overarching Macros …

Schrödinger’s Coup …

---

First up, if you’ve been following me on Social Media (Truth Social, X or Telegram,) you’ve probably either been cackling in delight, nodding sagely in agreement or throwing stuff at whatever digital display you’re reading my musings on as you’ve seen me not so much dismantle the Actuals of the Venezuelan Election (and possible coup attempt,) that’s lit up the Info Battlespace this week, but rather, go scorched earth on the troublingly reactive posture to said deployment MUCH of the so-called Truth Community displayed in the midst of the chaos.

Before I say much of how I DO feel about Maduro, the election and the coup of it all, it bears repeating that I am in no way asserting what IS happening … only calling attention to what I see as problematic reactions by Info Warriors, Anons and Citizen Journalists who I believe need to exercise more discernment before blindly latching onto regime talking points that happen to fit into their preexisting (and largely engineered) world views.

To wit, while it may be true that Venezuela has had a very troubled recent history, it is also true that the vast, vast majority of us have NO experience in or around the nation AT ALL, and so, we must admit that our views on its apparent woes (while possibly quite real,) are translated to us by various proxies in the Media and Political Industrial Complexes, like virtually all theaters on the international game board.

So, what in particular did I have a problem with when it comes to the Truth Community’s reaction to news of Maduro’s election steal?

Well, for starters, how about the fact that all of the worst players in the Globalist Media jumped at the chance to declare an election stolen in the first place despite denouncing that very prospect (even the possibility) with abandon for the last four years?

Examining the story must first begin with an examination of the STORYTELLERS, and those penning immediate and firm takedowns of Maduro and his dictatorial grasp on power in the global south recalls the same posture this Hegelian Hydra that is the System of Systems has adopted regarding many leaders I confidently forward as members of what I have dubbed the Sovereign Alliance, including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Mohammed bin Salman, among others.

Is Maduro a part of that august company?

I don’t know, though I do think my friend

’s recent (and only just beginning) dig on the subject warrants a look by EVERYONE in this community:)

Excerpt from the Badlands News Brief, which I act as Managerial Editor for …

While writing a take on yesterday's story about the arrest of Glencore oil executive Alex Beard, I stumbled onto a direct connection to Maduro—who has been engaged in a corruption purge of his government since 2017, when he received a "laptop from hell" that contained all the sauce on his officials being bribed by Glencore and others.

Not only did Maduro hire a powerful lawyer (who went after Prince Andrew on behalf of Virginia Giuffre, pro bono) to file civil suits against 40 Big Oil executives in March 2018, it appears that the material produced from the lawsuit may have been used by Trump's DOJ to expand EO 13818 and seize assets of globalist oligarchs.

It would seem that Maduro's civil lawsuit investigation may have also yielded materials that were used by UK authorities to arrest Alex Beard.

Perhaps that explains why they launched the coup against Maduro? —

In any event, reverse indicators abound when it comes to the current Venezuela narrative cycle, and no, that doesn’t mean I’m confidently defending Maduro or saying the elections were or have been legitimate up until now.

It can simultaneously be true that large scale election fraud being in the news cycle is a net positive in terms of narrative seeding AND that globalist interests have been moving against Venezuela for the last few years.

In other words, when violent criminal gang leaders post social media videos proudly proclaiming power to the people, you need to check your underlying premises and consider whether or not we’re seeing attempted regime change on behalf of the worst regime of them all.

Spliced Headers from The Guardian and Newsweek

To wit, in their first paragraph alone, the Globalists at The Guardian referred to Nicolas Maduro as an "authoritarian regime leader," a "Venezuelan strongman" and called his election victory a "disputed claim" while lionizing his opposition in subsequent paragraphs.

Similarly, Newsweek is saying Maduro's win is going to be bad for Kamala Harris because they are very, very confidently predicting (almost as if they know it for a certainty) a massive exodus of Venezuelans fleeing Maduro's rule and subsequent surge to the southern US border. (Predictive programming, much?)

So, we've got the same Media Industrial Complex who demonized MAGA and Donald Trump for disputing the results of the 2020 election while referring to him as an "authoritarian regime leader" and "American strongman" now confidently proclaiming the Venezuelan election to be stolen, before laying the groundwork for the (totally not) color revolution there to make its way north just in time for our own elections in November.

But, if you're looking for Exhibit A through Z of why some of us were immediately questioning the regime's questioning of the Venezuela election results, I think Axios' hit piece on Maduro published Tuesday contains a smorgasbord of globalist signal flares.

For starters, the opening paragraph primes the reader for the desired takeaway by referring to Maduro's win as "widely condemned as fraudulent."

WHO is condemning the election as fraudulent?

Well, the Globalist leaders of Colombia, Brazil (Lula is the subject of his own election fraud accusations against former president Bolsonaro,) and the US State Department, currently headed by Antony Blinken, to name a few.

(Oh, and a LOT of Con Inc. blue checks are all too happy to blindly regurgitate this propaganda.)

Additionally, the piece doubles down on threats forwarded by other outlets that the election will (for some reason) cause a surge in migrants to the southern US border.

Problem. Reaction. Solution. Easy.

And when I say “easy,” I am NEVER referring to the discovery or assertion of what IS true … only what the central narrative wants us to BELIEVE is true.

(The other Info Warrior who most confidently and robustly fleshes out this cognitive first principles position is my good friend and peer

Chris Paul

. If you have not, I HIGHLY recommend you check out his own Substack, where he puts out a long-form audio Podcast five days a week.)

But then … the Media Industrial Complex wouldn’t lie to us about a foreign “dictator,” now would they?

Well, the following is a series of clippings from Wikipedia summaries on major regime changes that popped into my mind while analyzing the Venezuela situation this week:

2003 - "The United States and its coalition of allies invaded Iraq, falsely accusing Saddam of developing weapons of mass destruction and of having ties with al-Qaeda."

2011 - "Amid the Arab Spring, protests against widespread corruption and unemployment broke out in eastern Libya. The situation descended into civil war, in which NATO intervened militarily on the side of the anti-Gaddafist National Transitional Council (NTC). Gaddafi's government was overthrown; he retreated to Sirte only to be captured, tortured and killed by NTC militants."

2014 - "The Revolution of Dignity, also known as the Maidan Revolution or the Ukrainian Revolution ... culminated in the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych, the return to the 2004 Constitution of Ukraine, and the outbreak of the 2014 Russo-Ukrainian War."

2020 - "The George Floyd protests were a series of riots and demonstrations against police brutality that began in Minneapolis."

How do we feel about the above “revolutions” now relative to when they first made news?

Put in my own personal framing, the timeline is amended only slightly:

In 2016, they told you the election was stolen.

In 2020, they told you the election was "fortified."

In 1995 & 2002, they told you the elections of Saddam Hussein were "show elections." What followed was the 2003 invasion of a sovereign nation by western terrorists, a literal show trial by an Iraqi court installed by the US and an execution of a sovereign leader who had threatened the petrodollar.

In 2011, Muammar Gaddafi warned that the "Arab Spring" movement was a color revolution in response to his having threatened the petrodollar's hegemony. He was dragged through the streets, sodomized with bayonets and killed. Hillary Clinton infamously cackled in delight over these events. Years of Obama-funded bloodshed ensued.

In 2014, the Obama and CIA-backed Maidan Revolution culminated in the ousting of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and the genocide of ethnic Russians in the Donbas.

In 2024, Ah, never mind. I'm sure they're telling us the truth about Venezuela now ...

And the US come November.

But if you’re looking for the biggest reverse indicator of them all, it’s probably reserved for the Biden/Harris (insert Deep State proxy here,) Regime’s endorsement of the “underdog” of the Venezuelan political battlespace:

From Badlands Media

There we have it.

I hope this serves as a potent reminder to those who immediately regurgitated globalist talking points coming out of Venezuela regarding a "stolen election," and using 15-second videos of SpAntifa thugs burning stuff, known gang members lobbing threats and out-of-context images of big crowds as their only evidence for assertions of an organic uprising by the people and of the people.

As I've been saying since the very first thing I wrote in the Info War, it is FAR easier and more useful for the purposes of awakening to hunt down falsehoods, contradictions and logical fallacies than it is to "discover" truth through a digital kaleidoscope of Fifth-Gen Warfare deployments.

Reverse or negative indicators abound in the Info War.

Don't get trapped into false binaries. Don't think Dualistically. Think Bicamerally.

Venezuelan elections being fraudulent and globalists attempting to force regime change for their benefit are not mutually exclusive positions.

Now, IF they are not mutually exclusive, what are the implications of both not only being possible, but probable?

Well, if we game that out, we see the following Bicameral forming in the Collective (and international) Mind:

1) Widespread, bipartisan and systemic endorsement of the idea that SOME very major elections are obviously rigged, along with the requisite exposures of whatever companies, technologies and NGOs are involved with said rigging, PLUS an implied history of how far back it goes. Loss of Narrative.

2) The fact that this forced regime change has been thwarted for the time being, while being publicly opposed by members of the BRICS nations, the Sovereign Alliance and the emerging multipolar world implies a Loss of Actual control.

Game Theory.

And again, when ALL of the worst people, figures and apparatus start saying the same thing, in unison, the opposite stance might not be entirely accurate, BUT ... it's a much better place to start than marching in lockstep with a regime bent on your continued subjugation and stupefaction.

And if you still come away from this take firmly believing that Nicolas Maduro is an evil baddie triple dictator war criminal Hitlerite … then you MIGHT be right.

Then again, you might be wrong, and the implications of the latter are far more seismic—and encouraging—than the Hegelian doom loop that is the former.

In a piece I published almost two years ago, I asserted that we could use a rudimentary rubric in order to determine who the Globalist Deep State fears most in the current persuasion of the Shadow War.

To me, these leaders tend to have the following attributes that act as sovereign signals:

1)    A Populist Rise

2)    Military Backing

3)    A Declared War on the Oligarchy … (Think Anti-Corruption Purges)

4)    A Declared War on the Globalists … (Think Media Posturing)

Okay … so I was going to try to get to a few more topics here, but then, I ended up fleshing out the Venezuela take more than I expected to.

In the future, Briefs may either follow this format or feature a burst of quick hits on a range of subjects from the week, depending on whether or not you guys want to be bothered with it!

I do hope you enjoyed this (relatively) quick hit, and if you haven’t yet, please consider checking out last week’s Bright Feature, ‘The Battlespace,’ which attempts to put some elastic, useful framing over the War of Stories as currently constituted.
