If you’ve been hanging around the self-described Truth community and all its various bubbles and burrows for any length of time, you’ve likely come across terms and turns of phrase that are repeated by anons, personalities, writers, researchers and commenters in reply sections throughout the land.
From ‘Scare Event’ to ‘Nothing Can Stop What is Coming,’ to the ubiquitous and contagious ‘WWG1WGA,’ this vernacular is something the Truth community has cultivated and evolved beyond its origins, with some vocabulary emanating from the infamous Q Drops while others rose up in organic fashion from the decentralized intel network this ever-expanding sphere of citizen engagement and new-wave journalism has become.
I want to start this week off by referencing one of these turns of phrase, which—though finding its origins in mainstream entertainment and even political culture—has taken on new meaning for many in this community, both positively and negatively.
Today, I want to talk about ‘Red October,’ what it could mean, whether or not we’re entering its roiling waters, and who on the proverbial Fifth-Generation chess board such a thing will ultimately benefit as we continue to observe the PsyWar between Globalism and Sovereignty.
Firstly, the term ‘Red October’ typically calls up images of the infamous Alec Baldwin and Sean Connery-starred 1990 blockbuster that chronicles a Cold War standoff between a U.S. submarine crew and one piloted by the dastardly Soviets. The film itself is based on a 1984 novel of the same name by prolific mainstream thriller darling Tom Clancy, who dips in and out of conspiracy theory, jingoism and mainstream military industrial complex cheerleading so as to make him a renegade to the 60 Minutes crowd while appearing as little more than a paint-by-numbers, ‘rebel’ plotter by those of us in this community, who see through the surface level limited hangout intel being dropped in page or script form and dig deeper in an age of near limitless open-source intelligence.
Aside from existing solely in the realm of the fictional, however, this term does also share a connotation with the oft-used political phrasing and strategy known as the ‘October Surprise,’ which refers to the widely-accepted holding and then strategic deployment of damaging political narratives by one party or candidate/campaign against another ahead of an election.
We’ve seen this in the past, with Hillary Clinton likely suffering her own 2016 defeat to Donald Trump in large part due to the ‘October Surprise’ embodied by the revelation of John Podesta’s Emails that spawned the larger Wikileaks controversy. While many anons at the time—myself included—were disappointed to come away from the would-be scandal without anything more than a few public tongue-lashings and bureaucratic warnings against Clinton and the DNC, with the benefit of hindsight we see how damaging the narrative deployment actually was for her.
While the Q Drops did reference the film and lines from the film on more than one occasion, often in different contexts, the shorthand term, ‘Red October,’ has come to define an overall feeling or directional projection by the Truth community in the ensuing years. In short, ‘Red October’ has come to signify an expectation so much so that its utterance and commentary now exists largely within the memetic realm of social media discourse.
Generally-speaking, ‘Red October’ refers to anons’ collective belief that there will be something more than narrative deployments either this year or in years to come that directly precede both a consequential United States election and the true visitation of long-promised and long-elusive justice for those in the political sphere we believe to be guilty of varying degrees of deeply-rooted corruption.
On the one hand, it is never wise to get attached to dates in an information war, one that relies as much on psychological and logistical obfuscation as it does on disclosure and exposure. That said, ‘Red October’ is as much a political truism or functional law of nature as it is some appeal to faith in Patriots in the west to take down a subversive Globalist cabal that has rested in its corrupt cradle of power for far longer than is palatable to any reading these words today.
So then, if we accept that it’s never wise to make direct, specific predictions in a Fifth-Generation war of narratives, and if ‘Red October’ has thus far failed to materialize in a way that would seem to provoke permanent and significant change to the systems and even the culture we seek to transform, let us take the calm before many could-be storms to take stock of current percolating narratives that seem to be surfacing out of October waters beginning to churn with the color’s likeness, and see if we can see what all the spoken and unspoken fuss is about.
As I briefly lay out a series of narratives that seem to be rising to the surface either for the first time or, potentially the last time, keep in mind that, in the realm of Game Theory, the Infinite Side represented in my view by a Sovereign Alliance in both the east and west need not fully control all narratives. They just need be on the right side of them when they do surface into the mainstream, collective consciousness of a target population. Thus, any escalation and acceleration of such narratives ultimately benefit that side in the war for the Collective Mind—the ultimate prize on the modern battlefield, and the one that bestows the mandate, both legal and implied, of leadership.
As we consider these narratives, take a pause after each to ruminate on which Macro side on the chess board acceleration and exposure benefits, and I believe you’ll come away from the somewhat-foreboding ‘Red’ terminology in effect with a surprisingly optimistic outlook on the weeks ahead.
‘Scare Event’
Perhaps no narrative has been seeded more prominently into both normie and anon consciousnesses over the last few weeks than the ‘Scare Event,’ template I wrote about in detail in last week’s special feature. While the mainstream population has been inundated with frightening and traumatizing stories of Vladimir Putin’s ‘unprovoked’ threats and while anons have sat back and marveled at the prescience of some of the aforementioned ‘drops’ on decentralized image forums several years ago, the concept of ‘nuclear war’ has not been so prominent since the twin engineered hysteria of the 1960s and 1980s.
While my personal reading on this narrative runs parallel with the idea of a necessary psychological scare event through which the general public can be ‘woken’ up as to the state of international politics and the utter incompetence and even gross negligence of their would-be national leaders, a less sensational reading of the ‘nuclear’ narrative is the simple idea that the world appears—to normies—to be at ‘the brink’ in the absence of Donald Trump and his outspoken nationalist contingent in a way that seemed unthinkable even two short years ago.
On a practical level, such escalation has allowed Vladimir Putin and Russia to retake ethnic Russian lands in Eastern Ukraine and expose the toothless nature and utter weakness of both NATO and the European Union, while it has also served to enlighten western populations as to the inherent instability implied by said weakness.
In short, the Orange Man has never been missed by so large a portion of the U.S. population as he is right now, even if folks such as myself believe it’s all much ado about nothing.
But my what an entertaining, riveting ‘nothing’ it is.
Dependency and Doom
This escalating and resurfacing narrative dovetails nicely into one of the next great crises affecting the mood of the Global Mind, as the congruent and compounding effects of Russia’s Special Military Operation, the ensuing, much-maligned and ultimately ineffectual sanctions imposed by EU tyrants and the absurd, enigmatic ‘sabotage’ on the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea has left a large portion of the western populace tense, angry and most of all, afraid of the consequences not merely of Putin’s ‘aggression,’ but of their own leaders’ dramatic and escalatory responses.
Much like the aforementioned ‘nuclear’ or ‘World War 3’ scares, Donald Trump warned strongly and directly of the prospect of an energy war and the need to return to sovereign energy production and nationalist trade agreements—stances he was mocked for at the time but that have resurfaced in an ironic, fortuitous … surely coincidental manner on the eve of one of the most consequential Midterm Election cycles in American history.
The Russians Come Home to Roost
Keeping with the Soviet groove that has been worn into the Collective American mind in a manner I’ve explored in detail in the Righteous Russia series here at Burning Bright, and shifting our lens Stateside, October will also see the kick-off of one of the most anticipated trials orbiting the ongoing and prematurely-dismissed Durham probe when Igor Danchenko stands up to the scrutiny of a prosecutor many believe to be the tip of the legal spear as the groundwork continues to be laid for the grandest RICO case ever put together—one that could spell the beginning of the end of the western Deep State.
(For all things Danchenko, I highly suggest following the work of Just Human.)
While the Danchenko name isn’t ubiquitous in the Collective Mind yet, he is one of the key figures in the Russiagate narrative it was inundated with during the first two years of Trump’s under-siege presidency. Danchenko’s testimony—along with whatever evidence he turned over under closed-door meetings we’ll never be privy to—will likely be the lynchpin that ties together the disparate threads of one of the great political and media PsyOps ever perpetrated on the American people.
Russiagate might have been deployed in 2016-17 … and yet, it is yet another narrative that seems to be resurfacing while Donald Trump is away from the public levers of power, and during an auspicious month on the calendar.
The ‘First’ Laptop
Speaking of clandestine political controversies, another dismissed, but not forgotten narrative anons have been spending significant cognitive and emotional energy on concerns the circumstances surrounding the death of former DNC staffer and could-be American hero Seth Rich, the contents of whose laptop have just been ordered unsealed by a Federal Judge unimpressed and unamused by the continued obfuscation attempts of certain powers within the FBI.
To those of you who weren’t hanging around during the first ‘drops,’ or even during the early days of the informational and media siege against the Trump Administration, Rich’s actions before his suspicious death—and the circumstances surrounding said death—could represent a massive disclosure to the normie hivemind rivaling that of the arrest and subsequent ‘suicide’ of Jeffrey Epstein.
After all, if OSINT research surrounding Rich hold water, he was the primary source for much of the information provided to and released by Julian Assange and the original Wikileaks operation. Any bombshells to emanate from the contents of Rich’s laptop could prove to be the undoing of not just specific political campaigns active on a certain side of the aisle at that time, but of the entire Democratic National Committee itself.
(As an aside … I don’t think it’s a coincidence that some of the biggest scandals that could break over the course of the next few months and years surround the unsealing of a series of increasingly-scandalous laptops.)
A Crash Unlike Any Other
Taking a step back from political scandal and adopting a more bipartisan, objective survey of the sociopolitical climate at large, it is difficult to go far in any direction without slamming into the all-pervading and suffocating sense that much of the western world is in the midst of the greatest financial crisis since 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression.
When the central banking apparatus has steered—or been steered—toward the brink of insolvency, taking the keystone of the international fiat monetary system with it—a system whose beneficiaries include not just wealthy business magnates and special interests, but a massive portion of the paltry assets of the collective western citizenry, you have the makings of one of the great psychological events in modern history.
And such an event could provide fertile ground for a psychological and monetary reset, something some of the best minds in this community have been calling for over the course of the last several years, if not decades.
(For more on how I think this particular ‘reset’ could ultimately favor us, see Too Small to Fail.)
While the ongoing FED crisis—from general consumer inflation to rocketing energy costs and a stacking housing house of cards—has been in the offing for years, it seems to be reaching a peak as we near the Midterms.
This is yet another narrative that Trump highlighted in detail leading up to the 2020 election, wherein he warned—projected—that the United States would experience a crash unlike any other should the ‘wrong’ candidate win.
Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?
Confluence of Communications
Passing just below the interest of many in comparison to the prospect of Nuclear Holocaust, political espionage (and worse,) and an impending, unrivaled economic collapse and reset is the subject of communications—specifically, the inherent corruption in the centralization of communications in the modern internet age.
At the heart of these discussions and debates is Elon Musk and his ongoing legal feud with Twitter, one of the preeminent communication platforms of our age. Should Musk prevail in his discovery requests with the platform he seeks to take control of, the western world could not only be provided concrete proof that the last decade of public discourse has been steered or engineered by Controllers sitting on high, but he could also return the power of such communication technology back to the people in the aftermath.
More so, twin narratives percolating on the outskirts of the Twitter situation include the recent decision by the United States Space Force to utilize Musk’s Starlink technology for communications infrastructure, leading some anons—myself included—to speculate as to the potential for Musk’s Starlink to serve as a functional backstop protecting public communications in the event that any of the resurfacing narratives I’ve touched on today get a little too hot and spicy for the powers that would be to handle.
Or did you forget that Musk is the highest paid Department of Defense (Trump era) contractor over the course of the last five years?
WWG1 …
As we skate toward the end of this somewhat-meandering, but hopefully illuminating exploration of Narrative Convergences, let’s address the anonymous elephant in the room, shall we?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock in either the normie sphere or the Truth community, you’ve likely seen Trump and Trump allies escalate their use of Q-adjacent or Q-affirming communications, ranging from strategic and obvious ReTruths to the almost comically-direct references to Q sayings, terminology and directional language.
Even if you’re predisposed to dismiss such trends as existing more in the realm of the ‘QAnon’ hivemind than in reality, the mainstream media industrial complex certainly sees it as a trend both obvious and threatening enough to devote breathless, increasingly-dramatic coverage of.
Which brings us around to the closing of this piece, though it is far from a conclusion on any or all of these narratives:
The Deep State is panicking. The collectivists are under siege from all sides on this Fifth-Generation battlefield.
Pick any of the narratives discussed above or any number of other escalating and accelerating sociopolitical or cultural touchstones occupying the Collective Mind today, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find one that’s guiding said collective toward Globalism, or into the cold, domineering embrace of the Controllers those of us in this community have been working to expose for years.
None of these narratives are new, nor are they indicative of the typical turning of an in-control narrative cycle. Escalation is a sign of desperation. Desperation is a sign of loss of control.
Interesting, for such a thing to be occurring under the current collection of collectivist ‘leaders.’
While some in this community are borderline allergic to even passing references to ‘movie’ theories or appeals to ‘patriots are in control’ pacifism, the inescapable truth is that the enemy has never exhibited so little narrative control over the global paradigm while occupying so many positions of would-be power.
A curious thing under even more curious timing, wouldn’t you say?
Whether through the brilliant and long-planned implementation of Game Theory or more overt legal or logistical control over the game board, patriots appear to be primed in a better strategic position in the Collective Mind while they wait in the shadows than they were while occupying positions of public power and authority.
No matter the revelations to come in this autumnal turn, I often argue at Burning Bright that we are in a war of stories, and that we have better storytellers.
Well … it certainly feels as though we’re on the cusp of a chapter change, or even a transition to a new Act, with the Narrative Convergences described today resulting in Narrative Whiplash that will see massive psychological territory gains in the Collective Mind.
That said, narrative escalation implies emotional and psychological escalation, and acceleration in any form rarely comes without tension.
But this community has not been forged with the intent of fleeing from the storm.
We were forged to wade into it.
I, for one, see the approaching clouds and the churning surf, and recognize that the calm is over.
The only way onward is forward. The only way out is through.
We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.

Titanic forces are at play. Empires have fallen during such times in history (the Jesus narrative overthrows the Caesar narrative, the colonial independence narrative collapses the old immutable empire narrative, etc). Thank you for another intellectual joyride.
The “everything” industrial complex Eisenhower warned about reached its apogee around 2016, with the seemingly permanent triumph of big tech, big pharma, big finance, big government, big media, big entertainment etc.
The cracks in that illusory regime began to be exploited by the Trump phenomenon. The “big” collective attempted to unite and destroy its “enemies”.
They overshot the mark and ended up destroying themselves. I believe we are now just seeing the image of the implosion, like watching a galaxy collapse 50 million light years away.
I think Italy last month and Brazil today shows us our future.
