Bright Brief - Take the Win

Sometimes, the Surface Level IS the Deep Dive

Bright Army!

I hope you’re all doing well as the weather turns from dismal to delightful … at least up here in now-sunny New England.

As this week winds down, I’m coming away with it with the feeling that it could be looked back on as one of transition and ‘turning’ for our movement on the national cultural stage, and I plan to argue that in the first of two Brief takes today that should push you into the weekend with some encouraging, Bright winds in your sails.

But first, if you haven’t already, consider diving into this week’s special feature, which is intended to be the first in a loose trilogy outlining the concept of the Crisis Cascade the Deep State is currently caught in, and which I write about with frequency on this publication.

It’s a much deeper dive than the brief takes I’ll offer today, though they are congruent with it. Share far and wide if you get something out of it, or anything in these digital pages.

Now then … onto the Brief …

Take the Win

---

Those of you who’ve been following my writing or public commentary for more than a few days will likely know that I don’t hold a very high opinion of Doomers. In fact, I believe they’re a poison to our movement and to any and all humanist, hope-filled and ultimately productive movements in American society.

Of course, when I advance such a take, I get accused by a small subset of the audience of being some mix of insensitive, illogical or even arrogant, and while I’m certainly not infallible, I believe these reactive responses to such a take misses the forest for the trees, and the intent of my public stance on disdain and disapproval for ‘Dooming’ and ‘Blackpilling.’

I did a deep dive into this concept in the most popular feature I’ve written in some time last month, and I suggest you check it out and share if you know someone who’s been experiencing the subversive, depressing rot of the black pill recently, or even if you have yourself.

As for how this stance relates to this past week, I’m pleased—and mildly surprised—to report that, near as I can tell, there was a dearth of dooming in the aftermath of a variety of Narrative, Political and even Kinetic Deployments over the course of the last few days.

From the public kickoff of Congressional Committees we’ve been anticipating for months … honestly, even for years, to Donald Trump’s appearance on a shockingly-effective Town Hall on the Fake News mothership, CNN, to the expiration of Title 42 and the ‘scrambling’ of the Biden Administration to erect something of use in its place to secure the southern U.S. border, I’m genuinely struggling to find anything overtly negative to spill out of the major Deployments of early May.

Of course, coming away from the last week with this mindset might require a perspective adjustment for some, but I would implore you NOT to consider it the ‘lowering’ of expectations, but rather the contextualizing of them.

For example, while some would have loved Trump to blitzkrieg the CNN ‘moderator’ with a host of documentary evidence demonstrating exactly how wrong her, her network and the whole of Globalist politics has been regarding virtually everything Trump’s America First movement has advanced in the realm of politics and society over the course of the last few years, and while nothing Trump said was particularly surprising to anyone in this most discerning and versed audience, I came away from the ‘performance,’—and it absolutely WAS a performance—by the Master of Narrative Warfare completely stunned by the utter control he wielded over the platform, the live audience and the moderator herself.

Trump answered a hostile Narrative directive well, kept his composure through several aggressive and obvious attempts to catch him, pin him down or knock him off track, and likely planted some seeds of logic-based doubt that will settle nicely into the loosening bedrock that is representative of the cognitive collective psyche of much of the CNN audience … and yet, that’s not why I came away from the Town Hall almost giddy with excitement.

In this case, more so than the logical argument on display, it was Trump’s demeanor itself—calm, respectful and more importably, LIKABLE—that was the major takeaway not just from minds and outlets openly supportive of the Orange Man, but even of the rest of the Media Industrial Complex, who devolved into a series of reactive, apoplectic headlines decrying CNN’s decision to provide the 45th (and 47th) U.S. President with a platform as a greedy, shortsighted and self-defeating move.

This reaction by the mouthpieces of the powers that would be is because the enemy—subversive and dishonest as they are—saw exactly the same thing many of us saw, and that was a man with the presence, both of mind and spirit, to not only seize the moment in front of a studio audience in a hostile moderation environment, but also on a national and international stage that has quickly come to be defined by chaos, and all the fear and uncertainty that brings with it.

In the end, Trump appeared to be the adult in the room. He was likable, humorous and calm under fire. He was poised and rational, patient and conciliatory.

He was, in a word, Presidential.

And EVERYONE saw it.

Sometimes, we must leave deep dive political analysis to the side, and recognize the there are many simultaneous and congruent theaters in the Info War, and in the Mind War.

As my friend and co-host Chris Paul often argues, there is a temporal element to this war that runs on Collective Psychology. With this reading of the Mind War, this community and this readership can quite literally be considered AHEAD of the culture and political curve by years rather than weeks or months.

Taking that into consideration, look at Trump’s return to the MSM stage with such solid calm as witnessing mass psychological time travel. We may not have been the intended audience for the Town Hall … but it was a joy to watch, and further confirmation that, when we install this man back into the (public) seat of power I believe he voluntarily abdicated so that the Awakening could be accelerated in his absence, he—with us behind him—will make good on the promise of the second MAGA term:

The best is yet to come. Believe it.

Devo Proofs Abound …

---

When all is said and done—and while I’m loath to give him TOO much credit—I believe Jon Herold’s Devolution series will go down as one of the most well-researched, sourced and timely works of journalism in American history, and which will also be looked back on as one of the key markers of the ‘citizen journalism’ era.

I’ve given my take on Devolution and other Continuity of Government theorizing many times, and I even wrote the Herold-endorsed intro to the Devo theory known as ‘Devolution for Dummies,’ in an attempt to correct the record regarding a lot of the disinformation (that IS a real thing, even if the Media Industrial Complex overuses and misuses the term with frequency,) I see floating out in the Truth Community wild regarding Herold’s commentary and assertions.

---

But I think the most succinctly I put my thoughts on Devolution came back in the fall, when I responded to the cascade of reveals regarding many of the Wolves in Sheep’s clothing we have infecting the MAGA, America First and Truth movements, from Con Inc. to groups of self-described ‘Anons’ who specialize in tearing others down rather than letting their work, research and logical argument stand on its own merits:

And as for those screaming at the top of their lungs that somehow, Trump announcing his candidacy for 2024 somehow concedes 2020 or disproves the entire concept of Devolution in itself, or the prospect that we are in the midst of it today, I would highly suggest you take another read through Jon Herold’s series, and do so with this framework in mind:

Devolution is not meant to take our country BACK from those who have subverted it; it is meant to protect red-line National Security functions so that we HAVE a country to take back when this painful, entirely necessary exposure operation regarding the System of Systems and the subversive enemy of humanity plays out … however long it takes.

For reasons that should be obvious, this exposure cannot happen with Trump and America First candidates in primary positions of public power, or the failings of these Systems will be shouldered by them, and by extension, us. The transition from [their] systems to ours will not be without pain and chaos, but this transition is necessary. As such, the poor optics of this pain will continue to build while the puppet and his puppeteers occupy the public positions of Administrative power for all the world to see. — commentary from ‘All Assets Deployed’

And this week, my friends, I believe we had some of the most clear and obvious ‘Actual’ examples of the Continuity of Government theories being right on the money and right over the target, from Biden reacting to the expiration of Trump’s Title 42 border restriction policy with an EVEN MORE restrictive set of regulations in its place, to the timing of Congressional Committees dripping out more or the Actual regarding the Biden Crime Family following Trump’s public seeding of that very set of controversies, to the ongoing inability for the Collectivist West to do much of anything but propagandize in the face of Russia’s calm, steely advance toward solidifying their hold over the Donbas, and the reunification of the Russian Federation of their forebears, while attempts to escalate and drag the world into a kinetic version of World War 3 continue to fail in spectacular fashion.

If Joe Biden was in control of his own government, why would he continue to advance Trump-era policies, from the border to a rapid increase in energy drilling permits he ostensibly discontinued shortly after taking office? Why would he continue to on-shore domestic U.S. production, removing it from China when he and his entire family appeared to be bought and paid for—and ultimately controlled—by the CCP? Why would he not be more aggressive and direct in his opposition to Russia when it comes to securing his—and the Deep State’s—Proxy State and Proxy President in the crumbling remnants of Prussian Ukraine, and all the secrets it holds?

And if Biden is controlled, or hemmed in on the Game Theory Game Board, and if the State Department under Anthony Blinken and his CIA stooges are truly running the show, why have their political and kinetic deployments—from the Russia Collusion scam, the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop, the accusations from a Pulitzer-winning Leftist concerning sabotage of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and perhaps even more recent, much more escalatory deployments against the Kremlin itself—not only failed or blown up in their faces from an international level, but been revealed in the first place, first by the work of independent journalism, and now by the start of a series of Congressional Committees that seem to have … well … it all?

Sometimes, the simplest answer is the one the Media Industrial Complex, Con Inc., and yes, even some of your favorite Anons—or those purporting to be them—tell you to give up as ‘hopium.’

Sometimes, the more outlandish, encouraging and complicated theories map onto observable reality with more surety than the alternatives.

Sometimes, the news really is good.

So let it be.
