It feels like I’ve been starting most of my articles these days with some variation of a joke referencing the ‘Nothing is Habbening’ memes that are ubiquitous in this community.
But guys … seriously, in the words of Chris Paul, “Everything is happening, all the time.”
Taking that apparent and increasingly-accurate truism and running it through your cognitive cyphers will avail you well in this deluge of an Information War, as all of us can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the sheer multitude and magnitude of Narrative & Actual Deployments in this Fifth-Generation conflict between the forces of Globalism and Sovereignty the world over.
In fact, when we take this ‘storm’ motif and apply it to our sleeping brothers and sisters who are just beginning to blink the engineered crust from their waking eyes, it’s no wonder most people choose to ignore the roar of the rising river in the woods, lest they be forced to confront the existential dread that comes from the realization that the waters are rising, and the flood is coming.
Rather than running from this eventuality, minds in this community have chosen to embrace the flood, and seize it as a cognitive, emotional and even spiritual opportunity to prepare, so that we might weather it … or perhaps even ride its waves to new lands of peace, prosperity and awareness.
But then … there I go again, waxing poetic and making it less likely by the key stroke that the return of the Bright Brief series will live up to its moniker.
This week, I wanted to point to a few interesting data points—both Narrative and Actual—regarding the ongoing and continually spiraling Silicon Valley Bank collapse, attempting to apply Bicameral Thinking to the situation to see whether or not we might come to any firm conclusions as to whose Op this is, anyway, whether the collapse truly is the work of market forces, and whether seemingly-opposite readings of the impetus of the event are actually contradictory at all.
In today’s piece, I plan to give a broad, but meaningful surface-level reading of the SVB collapse and all its fallout from the perspective of the first reading—the Narrative of it all—of the Mind War aspect of the Information War, and use that Macro as an encouraging and hopefully-steadying foundation through which to view some of the even more encouraging—even if obfuscated—Micros/Actuals that I continue to gather and parse en route to a week-end read on the situation.
I’ll start off with another common motif these days, which is the recognition that the term ‘contagion’ is being used with nearly as much frequency as it was during the engineered COVID crisis era we only recently left behind—and whose criminal puppet masters will be seeing justice for their crimes and their lies sooner or later—only now in reference to a financial ‘virus’ of leverage and liquidity.
If you believe these analogues are being lost on the minds of the American people, whose net worth is tied up in the shell game the powers that would be and have been have been running since before they were born, then I believe you have underestimated the (increasing) reach of this particular contagion, one whose ripple effects can and likely will affect every man, woman in child in a way that—shocking as it is to say—even the engineered COVID Crisis did not.
For, while many lost careers, opportunities, earning power and surely mental health (and I don’t take that last one lightly,) in the midst of the COVID Scamdemic era akin to the manner in which the first boulder that precedes a landslide levels only one piece of the village, I believe the SVB collapse is simply the precursor to the rest of those stones, mounds of petrified earth and memory set to come rushing, tumbling and roaring down from the mountain’s edge, one that will cover the whole village—perhaps the whole valley, before it settles once more.
While that particular image may seem morose and morbid—even ‘Dooming’—I believe that, with enough warning—and Donald Trump and his patriots have been blowing these particular horns from the ridge line for what seems like an age—the worst of the coming slide can be weathered, escaped or headed off with enough fair warning. And I also believe that those who are buried in the initial earthen flood can be dug out by callused, steady and resolute hands determined to build a new foundation atop the decayed remnants of the old one.
And even when using landslides, avalanches and the ever-popular flood metaphors to describe the wider implications of a banking cascade, I am not so taken with the drama surrounding the SVB situation so as to believe that ensuing landslide is imminent. I believe this is the first boulder to tumble, but that the break and sudden slide to follow will be preceded by a pregnant pause—a deep breath before the plunge, one whose rumble and growl can be heard beginning in the foundations of the mountain even now, by those with the ears to hear it.
I am the furthest thing from a financial expert or advisor. And I don’t say that just to escape any sort of accountability for financial decisions my readers or viewers could make after listening to or reading my rambling. I say it because it is both true, and entirely to the point.
You see, I believe that the Fiat Central Banking System on which the entire Deep State Globalist System of Systems rests has been built with intentional obfuscation and needlessly-convoluted complexity in mind for two distinct and yet, congruent reasons:
The only way to support a system based on the Unreal (lack of intrinsic value,) is with an illusory maze of inverted and contradictory policies and Actuals—a kaleidoscopic array of Ouroboros Serpents, each devouring the other so that the planned, cyclical ‘Boom-Bust’ false paradigm can be actioned in order to gradually transfer the wealth of sovereign peoples to the bankers.
This contradictory and paradoxical nature of the Centralized financial system is nearly impossible for both cognitively-sharpened and dulled minds to engage with, the former because the System itself is illogical, the latter because it is confusing. Both reaching the same endpoint—disengagement with the attempts by said sovereign peoples to understand—and potentially change—said System.
In short, the Central Bankers have erected themselves quite a Tower of Babel going back to 1913, one whose corrupt foundations weren’t necessarily solidified, but whose greatest threat—the Real—was significantly weakened in 1971, following Nixon’s infamous ‘decision’ to take us off a unified Gold Standard.
In terms of what’s Actually going on, here—at least from the public’s perspective—we have a major liquidity crisis involving the 18th largest bank in the United States, one whose balance sheet made a mockery of its name, and one whose collapse has seemingly started a Crisis Cascade among other insolvent (read: most) specialty banks as ‘smart’ capital rushes to the largest financial institutions for shelter from the coming storms.
Convenient, that the Big Banks stand to get even bigger as a result of this panic, as they usually do. Convenient for them as well, that those financial institutions that stand to suffer the most—and be the least likely to be able to weather—the panic of the ‘mob,’ (that’s us,) are the ‘Mom & Pop’ banks in your local neighborhood, who can only withstand such a disruption in inflows and an acceleration in outflows for a very limited time—some less than a day.
That said, I am nothing if not a logic-based optimist in this movement, and despite the reasonable and even logical anxiety the above prospect can inspire in even the most hardened and faithful of Anon minds, I believe there are a few directional data points that point to more going on beneath the surface.
We’ll explore those Actuals in Friday’s Brief, but today, I want to leave you with an optimistic and earnest view of the Potential as it relates to this latest in a series of unfolding Crises being levied upon the minds—and perhaps the bank accounts—of the American people.
As my readers know, I am quite obsessed with the role Narrative Warfare plays in the ongoing Fifth-Generation Conflict between the Controllers and the would-be Sovereigns of the once-free and future-free world. The War of Stories isn’t a cute reduction I toss around—it’s the most accurate encapsulation for the manner in which I personally engage cognitively with almost everything we parse in these mad and maddening times.
Thus, when we zoom out, and consider the panic and anxiety the latest—and continuing—US banking crisis is set to visit upon the Collective Mind of American Society, is it not reasonable, even obvious to conclude that, if nothing else, the increased exposure of the illusory fiat monetary system to We, The People is a net positive in this war for the future of our existence?
Is the latest collapse—and one due to a somewhat obvious mix of greed and duplicitous folly—not revealing more of the players on the game board to an increasingly-waking plurality of the American public?
And if we are to overthrow—or support the overthrow—of these fiscal tyrants and monetary magicians, must we not recognize them fully at first?
Finally, is it not some mix of fortuitous, ironic and serendipitous that the potential Crisis Cascade to afflict the Centralized system of control the powers that would be have thrust upon us begins with a banking institution based in—and named after—the very seat of cultural, societal and perhaps even spiritual rot afflicting our great nation?
As one of the great influences on my mind and on my life, Miyamoto Musashi wrote in The Book of the Five Rings,
“If you know the way broadly, you can see it in everything.”
If you are reading these words, engaging with other minds in a community named after the seeking, the spreading and the defense of truth, and in the hunting, ensnaring and stamping out of lies, then you, my friends, know the way broadly.
Take confidence in that. Be steady in that. For the weathering of a storm begins long before it crests the break of land.
Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.

Interesting opening analogy you chose, El Tigre!
As it happens, just before waking, I dreamt that after showering I couldn't get the tub to drain OR the taps to run off completely. Needless to say, I was terrified the tub would overflow!
I think we all can agree that we're all being absolutely inundated with information. Whether it's about the financial sector, the ongoing Special Military Operation in Ukraine, the 118th US Congress, or the impending 2024 Presidential Election, it is a lot for patriots to keep track of, let alone normies.
Which begs the question: when did "drip, drip, drip" be replaced by a flood?
Will the normies just "shut down" in the face of such overwhelming illumination? Will they prefer to retreat to their cave, as Plato described?
While I am confident in a brighter Sovereign future, with liberty and a financial system that serves The People, it can prove challenging to maintain such optimism in the face of day-to-day living. Along with everyone else, I live with the daily stress inflation causes. All the while trapped in a Totalitarian Socialist Republic (NYS). The Governor is threatening to take way any/all means of independent survival (gas stoves, woodburning fireplaces, and internal combustion vehicles). Is everyone aware of the nor'easter pounding New England and the Tri-Stste area, leaving thousands without electricity?
But I digress.
We are most assuredly in a War, unlike that ever waged in human history, of such epic proportions most cannot even fathom it.
We are in a fight of Good against Evil.
Liberty against enslavement.
We must be triumphant. So many are dependent upon us; not just those here now, but our descendants far into the future.
Ultimately, GOD WINS. We are His foot soldiers.
Thanks for the preview of your weeks end writing. I looked up "Ouroboros serpent" to remind myself what it was, it really captures the situation beautifully. Fun fact if you are an X-Files fan, Dana Scully is wearing an Ouroboros ring in one of the show's episodes. That series was eerily similar to our current reality; the elites had sold their souls to alien invaders, who were planning to eliminate the population of the world so they could inhabit it themselves (sparing the turncoat elites, of course!).
