Narrative Whiplash

The Enemy Works for Us

(Note: This piece was written before news broke of the already-infamous FBI raid on Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. For the sake of clarity, I will be saving my specific analysis of that event and its fallout for Wednesday’s Bright Brief. That said, I think you will find that this piece can act as a Cognitive Cypher for you when it comes to interpreting and reacting to major events like this in the Mind War.)

In a recent Bright Brief, concerning World War Pelosi, I touched on the idea of Narrative Whiplash.

It’s a Macro Concept I’ve been developing alongside some of the other Burning Bright terms I throw around in these parts, alongside things like the Shadow War, the Mind War, Consciousness and Narrative Seeding.

(Note that these terms are not exclusive to Burning Bright, or all totally invented by me. Rather, they help me—and by extension, I hope—my readers parse the sometimes-confusing and contradictory information we’re bombarded with on an hourly basis in the great Fifth Generational War we find ourselves immersed in, whether we wish it or not.)

So, what does Narrative Whiplash mean, in this context?

If you’ve spent any length of time wandering the winding ways of the Information War, you’ve no doubt heard the term, ‘cognitive dissonance.’ Literally, this refers to the prospect of a person having, ‘inconsistent thoughts, beliefs or attitudes.’ Sounds like most normies we know, right?

Well, I hate to be the bearer of sober news, but each and every one of us needs to be on the lookout for cognitive dissonance, as the affliction isn’t—in my view—so much a condition inherent in being less than intelligent or discerning, but is rather rooted in practicality. Even survival.

You see, when the human mind is confronted with an idea that either directly contradicts or threatens foundational belief systems they have oriented everything from their logistical to their moralistic life choices around, getting said person to accept this new idea is akin to asking them to accept a bullet to the chest.

In the end, the practical benefits must far outweigh the potential psychological and existential risks associated with not just considering, but adopting this new idea.

This is the primary reason why so many of us have not just felt relatively isolated in many walks of our lives for the last few years (if not longer,) but it also explains the mechanism through which our loved ones, friends and even perfectly normal strangers somewhat violently and dramatically react to the logical, well-founded and even—to us—freeing ideas we present to them.

But then, this piece is not meant to be discouraging. Quite the opposite, in fact.

You see, the reason I have been developing the concept of Narrative Whiplash is because I’ve been searching for some sort of solution or cure to the cognitive dissonance that many of us seem to be largely immune to, but which has infected and enslaved the psyches of so many of our fellows around the world, and by extension, the collective mind of society that represents the grand prize in the cognitive war patriots have been battling the Deep State for control over for the better part of … well, we don’t really know how long.

Now then. On to the definition:

Narrative Whiplash refers to the process by which an unawakened mind is presented with two contradictory ideas emanating from the same (or adjacent) authority source.

Please read that again a few times, and then I’ll attempt to explain further.

Simply-defined, when I say Narrative Whiplash, I’m referring to the end goal of the Reverse Hegelian Dialectic strategy (another BB term … sorry) that I believe White Hats have been using in the cognitive theater of WW3 in order to throw off the psychological chains of our oppressors.

Earlier, I claimed that Cognitive Dissonance is the main culprit affecting the unawakened mind’s ability to accept new ideas that contradict foundational beliefs. You might think this is the same thing as Narrative Whiplash, but in the above definition, I present the key distinction: Narrative Whiplash depends entirely on the source for said contradiction.

In the Cognitive Dissonance model, the primary believe held by a subject—that being the first belief—is difficult to shake because it emanates from an authoritative source in the mind of said subject. When a new, contradictory idea is presented to this unawakened mind, and that new idea is presented by a new, non-authoritative source (ie: you and I,) the mind has an easy fallback to reject this new idea, resulting in Cognitive Dissonance.

However, I believe that one of the prime directives of the Game Theory tactics patriots have been using against the Controllers in recent years has accelerated in the last few months, and instead of normies being hit with bouts of Cognitive Dissonance, they are currently experiencing increasingly-frequent instances of Narrative Whiplash.

This is because the new, contradictory ideas the unawakened mind is being presented with emanate from the SAME SOURCE as the original, foundational belief.

Observe the following examples of foundational beliefs and Narrative Whiplash emanating from the same authoritative sources:

Foundational Belief: COVID Vaccines will protect against the contraction, transmission and effects of the “virus.”

Narrative Whiplash: COVID Vaccines do NOT protect against the contraction, transmission OR effects of the “virus.” In fact, some data is beginning to demonstrate waning efficacy in direct comparison to natural immunity.

The Source(s): Why, the very same Mainstream Media and Government-funded Health Organizations, two years apart.

(Of course, this reading all depends on whether or not any of this virus data can be trusted. If not, the point remains the same. This is about the narrative, after all. The potential, not the actual.)

While normies haven’t fully embraced anything from lab leak theories to the prospect that the entire pandemic was a PsyOp, public data shows that they are increasingly hesitant to trust ‘authoritative’ medical sources AND to voluntarily take additional boosters and vaccinations.

Foundational Belief: COVID-19 was a once-in a generation plague that was in NO WAY used as a means to institute mail-in voting and other fraudulent schemes for the 2020 Presidential Election.

Narrative Whiplash: With COVID-19 waning and public polling demonstrating that it is one of the LEAST IMPORTANT issues facing Americans in the summer of 2022, a new, ultra-virulent and deadly Monkeypox strain has emerged, resulting in emergency measures being passed by blue states along with the RE-institution of 2020 election ‘fortification’ measures.

The Source(s): The same Government and Government-adjacent institutions and organizations that are now consciously or unconsciously ignored by most and flatly distrusted by others.

Two once-in-a-generation plagues coming out back-to-back, with no relation between them?

Curious, no?

Foundational Belief: Donald Trump was such a wild, unpredictable egomaniac when it came to his dealings with foreign nations, both allied and adversarial, that the United States was on a collision course with a hot version of WW3 during his time in office.

Narrative Whiplash: During Biden’s time in public office, the unawakened mind has witnessed a disastrous, deadly and internationally-humiliating withdrawal from Kabul, Afghanistan, the bold, confident and U.S.-eschewing invasion of Ukraine by an unapologetic Vladimir Putin and the ratcheting of tensions in the South China Sea as a direct result of the actions of highly-ranking members of Democratic U.S. leadership.

The Source(s): The news cycle. All day, every day.

Thanks, Nancy. No, really. Thanks!

Foundational Belief: Donald Trump’s economic boom was merely the result of lagging Obama-era policies that failed to materialize during his eight years occupying the highest office in the land, or they are completely independent or in spite of any actions or policies he and his administration have authored and actioned.

Narrative Whiplash: Shortly after Joseph R. Biden entered the White House (set,) the United States economy started rocketing toward complete financial absolution, destroying the earning power and stability of the average American and resulting in three terms dominating ‘concern’ polls heading into the 2022 Midterm Elections: ‘the economy,’ ‘inflation,’ and ‘gas prices.’

The Source(s): The average, inescapable daily life of the American Citizen, awakened or unawakened. Firsthand experience. The most foundational authoritative source that exists.

Too easy? How about something more timely?

Foundational Belief: Election Fraud doesn’t exist, and even if it does, it’s not nearly pervasive or partisan enough to swing national elections.

Narrative Whiplash: Kari Lake and other America First election-deniers are only ‘stealing’ victories in the 2022 Primaries due to election fraud.

The Source(s): Why, the very same Mainstream Media politico’s that called the 2016 election a Russian Conspiracy, the 2020 election the ‘cleanest’ in modern history, and are now gearing up to declare the 2022 Midterms null and void.

Now, some of you might be reading these examples and yelling out the word, “boomerang!” and you wouldn’t be wrong. For me, the distinction between the ‘boomerang’ and ‘narrative whiplash’ concepts lie in the distinction between what front in the war you’re referencing.

Narrative Whiplash is meant to focus on the mass psychological response and effect of these boomeranging ideas, while the ‘boomerang’ concept refers more to the practical and logistical failures of Biden-era policies and actions in relation to the Trump era. Potential and actual. One feeds into the other.

In this piece, Clandestine (one of the best follows on both Truth Social and Substack,) absolutely nails both a micro and macro reading of one of the enemy’s recent (and ramping) fear pushes regarding Monkeypox and its relationship to the 2022 Midterm Elections, which originally inspired this piece.

While Clandestine touches on the practical/actual regarding the enemy’s plans, he also grasps the potential, ie: the fallout, and lately, the fallout seems to be going quite poorly for [them.]

In fact, I responded to one of Clandestine’s Truths the other night, and our complementary thoughts serve as a pretty great example of observing current events and narratives in the Shadow War from both an actual and a potential framework.

If I can take a moment to stroke a few Anon ego’s other than Clandestine’s (and at the risk of sounding quite pretentious) many of the writers, readers (that’s you,) podcasters and researchers in this community are blessed (or cursed, depending on the day) with what I’ll broadly refer to as advanced pattern recognition.

This goes for JustHuman, Patel Patriot, Richard the Saint, BierNutz, Martin Geddes, SLAG and more.

Some, like those dubbed Autists, are gifted with what I would call Micro Pattern Recognition. They connect seemingly unconnected minutiae. The little fascia between narrative threads that connects people with organizations, and organizations with operations, and operations with governments, and governments with benefactors.  

In case you couldn’t tell, I’ve been hit with the Macro Pattern Recognition bug. I tend to zoom out, observing trends and storylines. This is why I focus on the Narrative War and the Mind War in general, and recognize how important it is in relation to the hot and logistical events of this Fifth Generational War.

Then there are folks like Clandestine, who’s been around the scene for a LONG while, first coming to prominence (to my knowledge) by following the minutiae of FISAGate and all its ensuing threads, and later resurfacing in a huge--and attention-garnering—way with his utterly important research on the Ukrainian Biolabs.

This is research that may play a role in defining the future of our world. How many civilians knew about this before his work? How many of [them] feared exposure before his work?

But what Clandestine touches on in this newsletter is something I have been trying to communicate for some time, that being the fact that the vast, vast majority of the normie public are NOT blessed/cursed with advanced pattern recognition, what we might refer to as being ‘awake,’ hence my attempts at introducing some new cognitive tools for the analysis and framing of ongoing events as the war of stories ramps up entering the fall.

The reason I focus on the narratives at play in the MSM we are slowly, inexorably replacing is because they are indicative of the patterns that are being planted in the collective mind of our fellows. They shape optics and reactions, creating the dreaded and all-controlling Hegelian Dialectic that has brought free thought to the precipice of subservience.

But as Clandestine seems to understand, they have pushed too far and too fast. It’s why my personal view regarding Operation Warp Speed has nothing to do with vaccine development, but rather forced acceleration. Narrative acceleration, that is.

But then, that’s a story for another day.

Here, in the Monkeypox push, the Russia = Nazi Germany propaganda, the Biden-Pelosi-WW3 schism or any number of desperate pushes to come, we can start to get a picture of the solution to implanted pattern docility and its ensuing cognitive dissonance. Herein, we see that the solution/cure to cognitive dissonance is narrative whiplash.

Put in other words, if our fellow ‘sleeping’ friends and family cannot see the patterns for themselves, the patterns must become so obvious and so absurd that they will have no choice but to see them.

And the best part is … [they] are doing all the heavy lifting in administering this psychological miracle cure to the unawakened mind for us.

How kind of them.

Until next time … stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly, stay Bright.
