The Master explores Donald Trump’s mastery of Narrative Warfare, his Narrative Fighting Style and his importance to the Sovereign Alliance in this Fifth-Generation War against the Globalist Deep State. Start the series with Part 1.
I talk about Narrative Warfare for a reason at Burning Bright, and that is because humans are storytellers by nature.
Rather than leaving this fact purely in the realm of the interesting or inconsequential, I would posit to my readers that the reason for this is baked into our DNA, our God-given intuitions and our psychological makeup.
Stories—especially those involving archetypal narratives between good and evil, underdog and dominator, oppressor and oppressed—allow us to imprint not just onto the information being imparted or deployed, but onto the true meaning, intent and themes underlying that information—the lessons, if you will.
The Deep State, the Controllers, the illusionists or whatever you want to call the charlatans and puppet masters who’ve been pulling the strings of the collective human and societal psyche for decades—if not centuries—understand this concept well.
[They] did not simply seize the means of production and administration in order to rule society; attempts to rule through force and power alone have proved disastrous for past iterations of the Globalist, collectivist regime because human beings have an innate desire for and pull toward freedom and sovereignty. Instead, the powers that would be mastered the art of storytelling, and more importantly in information dissemination—which is really story dissemination—by seizing the means of communication.
This has allowed them to guide the Collective Mind throughout much of the twentieth century and beyond, manipulating human emotion and exploiting perceived weaknesses, such as empathy through fear-based programming that has allowed them to gain our tacit approval—sometimes even our direct, full-throated desire—for war, conflict and ultimately carnage so that they might enrich themselves further.
The thing is, I believe all of this is turning around on them, not just because we have better minds in this community or in the patriot factions working behind the scenes to combat Globalist forces worldwide, but because we ALSO have better storytellers who operate from an incorruptible foundation of truth.
And there are few storytellers with a better grasp on the push-pull, yin-yang of the Collective Mind of American society than Donald Trump. In fact, the only one I might put forward as having a similar claim as a zeitgeist-moving, paradigm-shifting public figure is Elon Musk, which we’ll discuss in greater detail next week.
What a happy coincidence, then, that these two enigmatic, powerful—both Actually and Narratively/Potentially—public figures seem to be furthering complementary objectives in this ongoing Information War.
Before we dig into Musk’s style, and how it seems to be complementing Trump’s on the Game Theory game board, we should further our understanding of what makes Trump’s own Narrative fighting style so unique and effective.
While Trump undoubtedly has brilliant minds working behind him, with him and even potentially above him in this fascinating war, I believe this unique communications and narrative ability—even mastery—provides a hint as to WHY he was chosen as the public leader of our drive to reforge American society by first tearing down the corrupt and illusion-based System of Systems.
This exploration was originally prompted by Trump’s latest Narrative Deployment—that being the twin, one-two punch of an initially-maligned—though more important than some realize—NFT ‘Trump Card’ announcement to his powerful follow-up address regarding the 1st Amendment-focused, free speech absolutist platform he plans to carry into his next (public) term as President of the United States.
Before this announcement, which was preceded/seeded by Trump’s announcement OF the announcement, myself and other thinkers and writers in this community cautioned folks to temper expectations with regards to Actual Events, kinetic and legal deployments, and focus more on the net effects of Trump’s announcements. After all, as I argued in my most popular feature at Burning Bright to date, Trump is nothing if not a Master of Narrative.
By getting ahead of ‘dooming’ and ‘nothingburger’ arguments, I hoped to prime my readers for the emotional reactivity that this confusing, obfuscated Fifth-Generation Information War can provoke in even the most hardened and discerning minds, and to implore you to observe the gravity around Trump’s announcement(s) rather than the impenetrable and confusing black hole at the center they can initially appear to be.
To me, this gravity resembled his deployments in November, provoking the usual suspects in the Media Industrial Complex to run with reactive headlines about Trump as a grifter, while leading to similar pronouncements from Con Inc. and fake MAGA, who’ve been revealed as little more than grifters and charlatans themselves—wolves in sheep’s clothing—as they attempt to seize control of the MAGA and America First ship and guide it toward more controllable (ie: less threatening to the Establishment) candidates, thereby splintering the most powerful political and cultural movement in the world.
These media deployments and even doom-based, blackpilled responses from big names in this very community are worn and tired, and display a mix of emotional immaturity, psychological reactivity and—to be completely blunt—lack of perspective that is as disappointing to witness as it is predictable.
But I digress.
There is nothing accidental about Donald Trump’s Narrative Deployments, and there is nothing accidental about the fact that Elon Musk’s—from the ongoing censorship-concerning Twitter File dumps to the kicking of the collectivist, ideological hornet’s nest—seem to be running parallel and complementary tracks.
These congruent deployments have been running well-worn grooves for several months, and when attempting to parse them, we must develop the ability to project hindsight by first exploring HOW these Narratives—these stories—are being deployed in the first place.
While that may seem like a Frank Herbert-esque paradox at first blush, I would argue that, when you study the minds behind the deployments and the story structure this ‘movie’ seems to be running, on a Macro level at least, it’s not as difficult as it first appears.
On Trump’s side of the equation, it is fairly easy to ascertain that the initial ‘Trump Card’ NFT announcement was meant to both provoke the aforementioned jackals and crows, exposing them further for the more gullible among the America First base to see, while also seeding the Collective Mind with the idea of ‘Trump Cards’ in general.
I do not disagree with readings in this community that suggest Trump’s digital card collection is both a wink and nod to the Q Operation—and those of us who’ve been following it for over five years—AND a warning to the figures, factions and systems within the Media Industrial Complex and the Deep State System of Systems at large that he has them dead to rights, and has any number of cards waiting in a hand they can only guess at from the other side of the table.
This is why we focus so much on the dissection and exploration of Game Theory and Fifth-Generation Warfare around these parts, because Narratives are never JUST Narratives, just as a silly, comic book-inspired digital token is likely far more than it first appears, even if we can’t see all ends at this stage of the game.
In short, Trump’s Deployments of late are meant to provoke, observe, gauge and then punish reactions by those figures and factions he is attempting to expose to his base, while also teaching the very same how to parse this Information War in a manner that is most conducive to our continued development as the eventual ‘frame and support’ for the Collective Mind of American society that will be needed when the most difficult, dark and necessary exposures and disclosures are put forward to those slowly-awakening souls.
(For an exploration of what I believe these dark, difficult and necessary exposures are, read ‘The Darkest Path.’)
As for Trump’s secondary deployment on December 15, that being his six-minute video commenting on the need for a free speech crusade during his second term that will further neuter the U.S. Administrative State while unleashing the full might of a freed and mobilized American Mind, it was a devastating counter cross to the exposed doom and Con Inc. contingent, while trapping the Media Industrial Complex into silly, reductive headlines focusing on the initial jab feint.
In this way, Trump often resembles a counter striker. In fact, he has referred to himself as such on many occasions.
Contrary to how those not well-versed on the particulars of combat sports and the ‘sweet science’ perceive counter striking, the technique and style is not reactive; in fact, it’s quite the opposite, as the most skilled counter strikers first set patterns for their enemies to track and react to before then breaking that pattern in order to deliver a devastating—and often fight-finishing—blow.
Put another way, while an initial view of a counter-strike knockout may appear as if the winning fighter has successfully reacted to his opponent’s move, or that he has ‘moved second rather than first,’ the opposite is actually the case, providing a fascinating mirror to the manner in which the ‘Infinite Side’ in Fifth-Generation Warfare tends to operate.
In the same way that a skilled counter-striker will deploy feints, jabs and ‘simple’ kinetic techniques in the first few rounds or first few exchanges of a fight with either a defensive or aggressive opponent before gauging the reactions to those feints and jabs, so too will the Infinite Side in Fifth-Generation Warfare populate the psychological or informational environment with deployments and storylines that—whether true, false or some mix of the two—are designed to present tantalizing-seeming opportunities for attack.
You often see myself and others in this community referring to Trump’s Narrative Deployments as ‘bait’ for a reason: while the enemy side ‘reacting’ to the bait believes they are the ones initiating a move and thus, seizing the initiative and therefore advantage in the Information War, they often realize with the benefit of hindsight that their own move was successfully provoked, and therefore measured, accounted for and even desired by their most tactical, technical and discerning opponent.
And that is NOT a position you want to be in, either in the realm of Fifth-Gen Warfare or kinetic conflict. It is an exposed position and therefore a vulnerable one.
This is why counter strikers are widely seen as the most tactical, technical and ultimately effective fighters in boxing, kickboxing and even MMA, and tend to reflect the keenest minds among the fight community, and thus tend to make up some of the most successful in the history of combat sports.
You see, counter strikers are never using offense OR defense, but rather both at once, simultaneously, putting their opponents at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to reacting to sudden changes on the game board and complexion of the contest.
I should know. In another life, I have extensive experience in this kinetic realm. But those are stories for another time.
To summarize, the most important takeaway from a reading of Donald Trump as a counter striker is to reframe that kinetic, literal image in your mind’s eye to see him as a pattern-setter and a pattern-breaker. Once you do this, I believe you will begin to see Trump’s Narrative Deployments in an entirely new—and entirely exhilarating—light, as I have.
This more tactical, literal reading of Trump’s Narrative Deployments—and therefore, those of his allies that we can see and those that we cannot see—may also begin to provide you with logic-based, directional evidence that Trump and his allies—and even that WE in this community—do represent the Infinite Side on the game board for the simple fact that OUR side tends to bait and provoke [THEIR] side into action.
How does that usually go for [them,] once the proverbial informational and even emotional dust settles?
So as you attempt to train your mind to engage with this Information War so that it does not engage you, try to reframe the Deployments you parse with this framework in mind. Try to observe who is acting and who is reacting, and follow the net effects of given seeds and counters over a period of hours first, days second and weeks third … and I believe you’ll begin to see why some of us are so confident that victory is inevitable, no matter how long it takes to see realized.
We don’t just have better writers.
We have better fighters.
Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.

Oh by the way, the entire Trump NFT collection sold out within the first few hours after release.
Raising who knows how many millions for the Master. (At least one card was valued on a business site this morning at $24,000).
It’s such a pleasure watching Griftworld eat it’s own words yet again.
“Would you like a side of crow with your shit sandwich?” 😉🇺🇸👍
Love, love this! And oh how crazy LOTS of people went - the Left of course, the media of course, but oh my how effective it was in showing up the black-pilling contingent! Oh the screams and moans and Dark Predictions that ensued. Plus a whole bunch immediately threw themselves behind DeSantis, exhorting their followers to do the same. I had to make popcorn twice it was so hilarious! Clowns in America indeed :)
