Irregular Hope

The Logical Foundations of 'Hopium'

All modern warfare is irregular warfare.

While it may seem reductive to point out, I believe it is worthwhile to revisit—or visit for the first time—the concept of ‘irregular warfare’ itself in order to set the groundwork for our discussion today.

For those of you well-versed in the lingo of the Truth Community or otherwise engaged in the realm of open-source intelligence gathering—hint, that’s all of you reading this publication right now, you beautiful sovereign minds—then I’m going to let you in on a secret as open-source as the very intel you parse on a daily basis, even if you’re not doing so consciously:

You are a part of the largest and most powerful decentralized citizen intelligence organization ever assembled.

While I wrote about this in-depth in what has now become the most-read feature at Burning Bright to date, ‘We Are Q,’ last week, the notion bears repeating not because I’m trying to give us all a collective pat on the back for our efforts at exposing the Deep State’s System of Systems over the course of the last few years, but because, in simply understanding what you are doing here and now, you might better bring oft-repeated but seldom understood terminology to the forefront of both your minds and your lived experience.

After all, when one says, ‘irregular warfare,’ ‘Fifth-Generation Warfare,’ or any of the other permutations of modern intelligence gathering, dissemination and contradictory communications we attempt to analyze in the ever-shifting theater of a war with as many names as it has factions, we can lose the literal meaning inherent in the terms.

With the understanding that the Collective Mind of American—and world—society is the ultimate prize on the Game Theory Game Board, a refrain I repeat often because it is of the utmost importance to grasp, one might better be able to see the various information, communications and intelligence deployments by each and every figure, faction and ‘side’ on the battlefield, and one might better guard his or her own mind so that it cannot be forcibly melded back into the matrix of [their] systemic control and weaponized—even passively—against its fellows, awake or asleep.

2023 has been an ‘eventful’ year, and we’re only two weeks into it.

It doesn’t take a particularly observant or intelligent individual to point that out.

From the Speaker of the House drama—drama I and many others have argued was entirely engineered, and by our side—to the emerging and highly-intriguing Biden Documents Declassification Scandal, the last two weeks should present clear and present reminders of the psychological and emotional dangers inherent in engaging with narratives deployed by both patriots and Deep State apparatus on merely a surface level.

In short, by fusing the tenets of Game Theory, Irregular Warfare and Fifth-Generation Warfare into the lens or cognitive cypher through which you observe political, media and even kinetic deployments, you can avoid being swept up in the emotional reactivity such a war is designed to provoke within the mind of the observer.

And to be clear, this is a strategy used by BOTH SIDES in the war, ‘white hats’ and ‘black hats’ alike.

While it may seem somewhat distasteful to consider, patriots such as Donald J. Trump with his mastery of Narrative Control—another aspect of the Mind War I wrote about in extensive detail in recent months in ‘The Master,’—have, in my view adopted the enemy’s psychological tactics and base understanding of human psychology in order to free the very Collective Mind the enemy has long sought—and often achieved—control over.

Just as our emotions as individuals and as a collective can and have been weaponized against us in order to foment sentiments of support for unjust political and military deployments and in defense of the very System of Systems we ultimately seek to bring down, those same emotions make it possible for patriots to wield psychological weapons—stories—in order to entrap the attention of the same Collective Mind so that it might be guided in the direction of Sovereignty, freedom and recognition of the evils that have been done to it, and by whom.

That said, while this War of Stories has writers and painters of public narrative working both for and against the Collective Mind, I would posit to you that, if you want to take an active role in the Mind War, the Information War or whatever term you like best to describe what we study on a daily basis in this community, you need to separate yourself from the emotional pull of the stories being told.

The good and the bad.

And the story I wanted to touch on today as a prime example of this concept is the very story of the Biden Administration itself.

Just as there are hopeful Q Followers, so-called ‘hopium’ addicts and Devolution and Continuity of Government believers who have difficulty explaining the mechanisms behind the Macro beliefs they hold regarding how this Information War will ultimately play out, I would argue that there are just as many in these interconnected communities that have arrived at their beliefs through hard, rational and extensive examination of the underlying premises contained in each and all of the theories of ‘Patriot Control’ advanced around these parts.

While appeals to motifs such as ‘Trust the Plan,’ ‘Patriots are in Control,’ and ‘Nothing Can Stop What is Coming,’ can seem tired, rote and reductive to the more analytically-minded in this community, I would argue that, while there are plenty of Anons, citizen journalists and ‘Truthers’ who believe only what they WANT to believe as they engage in the Information War, there are also a worrying number who dismiss such ideas due to the very positivity and encouragement they provide, thereby—at least in my view—missing the forest for the trees.

I would argue that, while surface-level absorption of such appeals to ‘Winning’ by ‘white hats’ against evil and subversive ‘black hats’ avails us little as a movement, even if it acts as effective emotional sustenance for the individual, those who dismiss the logical, foundational basis underlying these appeals are not applying cold, hard logic to the proceedings, but are actually often falling prey to the very psychological tricks and traps deployed by and against our enemies.

In short, it doesn’t make you particularly smart to be a proud cynic, just as there’s nothing particularly foolish about adopting a fool’s hope.

For example, how many of the most analytically-minded Anons, citizen journalists and ‘thinkers’ in this movement did you see reacting to the Speaker of the House drama, even after Trump himself put out clear—in my view—steady messaging that all but confirmed that everything we were watching play out would serve the Net Effects of a furtherance of both the America First agenda and the Great Awakening?

How many who saw the Biden Administration appoint Merrick Garland as Attorney General threw up their hands in frustration, ignoring the logical appeals of great thinkers such as Just Human by claiming that such a swamp monster would NEVER turn against the hands of his masters in furtherance of the exposure and disclosure we need to see visited upon the Collective Mind of society before Justice can be served?

And how many, even AFTER witnessing that same AG announce a Special Counsel targeting the Biden Administration—and Biden himself—in a Department of Justice probe that is a DIRECT MIRROR of the toothless probe they deployed against Trump just a few short months ago dismissed the whole thing as an attempt by the Deep State or the powers that would be to obfuscate and shield rather than to expose and prosecute?

What’s most interesting about retaining and training the ability to zoom out regarding any and all of the complex deployments we see in a war named for and built upon the obfuscation and interference of open-source intelligence and information is that you might come to realize that BOTH groups can be right on a surface level, just as both fail to understand the foundational, logic-based core underlying the heart of the entire ‘play’ we’re watching.

Yes. It can be true that Merrick Garland is a swamp monster seeking to obfuscate on behalf of his Deep State handlers—whether or not that’s ACTUALLY the case—just as it can ALSO be true that he is doing so at the express bidding OR under the public or legal leverage of patriots who have presented evidence of his masters’ crimes to the Department of Justice that I would argue he controls in name only.

Taken with this framework in mind, when we apply the tenets of Game Theory to the Biden Docs Scandal and all its various turnings, we begin to see why some of us in this community maintain such confidence that, whether literal, overt or covert, ‘Patriots are in Control’ is a far more accurate and observable truism to describe everything we’re seeing playing out on the public stage in American politics and culture than doom-tinged alternatives.

If the Biden Docs Deployment is being used to obfuscate and shield the Biden Administration from prosecution and ‘actual’ liability, WHY the DOJ leaks in the first place?

If the Garland DOJ is successful in its supposed attempts to obfuscate on behalf of the Biden Administration, what damage will this deployment do to said Admin—and those who installed it, defended it and propped it up on marionette strings for the last two years—when all is said and done in the Collective Mind?

If the Biden Admin ‘escapes’ Justice resulting from the Declassification Scandal, how many more Scandals are waiting in the wings regarding foreign collusion, money laundering, international influence peddling and even treason, and if [they] couldn’t stop this one from leaking, how are they to stop the others?

If the Deep State is desperate to usher Joe Biden OUT of the public spotlight, WHY did they prop him up and follow Trump’s very public and very obvious wishes for him to be the chosen representative of the Deep State’s System of Systems in 2020 and beyond so that these exposures might take place in full view of an increasingly-restless, increasingly engaged populace?

If the Deep State is successful in ushering Biden out of public office, how could one possibly read such an occurrence—with its requisite and likely even more optically-disastrous Harris Admin—as anything other than a massive net loss for [their] standing in the Collective Mind and its mirrored opposite for Trump, the great, 25th Amendment-threatening truth-teller of our time?

I plan to dive into each and all of these questions at various points in the many Burning Bright features to come, but as I round out today’s letter with the intent of some measure of brevity, I would switch from rhetorical and metaphorical to direct, as I am sometimes wont to do:

The Biden Administration, knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or unwillingly, cooperatively or uncooperatively is and has been used by Donald Trump, his patriot allies and our entire, growing decentralized citizen intelligence network as the most effective Exposure and Disclosure operation on the Deep State’s System of Systems ever actioned AGAINST and yes, FOR the Collective Mind we are trying to save.

When observing the continued fallout of the Biden Docs Scandal and the MANY MORE that will be coming in its wake, I would appeal to you to stop looking for ‘justice’ against Biden and his handlers at this stage of the game, and try to view the emerging events and, more importantly the STORIES to spill out of them as a means of educating the public as to the subversive, pervasive and all-encompassing coordination between the U.S. Administrative State, the American Oligarchy and foreign interests to corrupt and ultimately destroy our once-great and future-great Republic.

On a long-enough timeline, and with the right mindset, this simple and profound change in perspective might leave you to reach the same conclusion I have.

Not through hopium or misplaced faith, and not through a failure to grasp the minutia of the most complex war ever waged, but rather through an increasingly-observable truth that rests at the heart of it all:

Either we win, or [they] lose.

And once you develop the eyes to see it, you can’t unsee it.

Fool’s hope?

Call me a fool, then.

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