Layer Cake - Part 1

Who Controls the Biden Administration?

Layer Cake seeks to answer one of the prevailing questions of our political age: who controls the Biden Administration?

Recently, I’ve been focusing a lot of my writing on more esoteric, philosophical and even spiritual fare, partly because it’s where I’ve felt the muse/mind leading me, but also because, to be perfectly honest, the media cycle regarding politics, economics and culture has been so chaotic of late that I have had difficulty distilling all of the many thoughts I have into a piece I feel would be useful to my readers.

For those new to Burning Bright, while I will often write features that pop into my mind on specific topics, what I really want to do with this publication is start to create a movable cognitive cypher/tool kit in order to help both myself and all of you engage with the Information War in a more active—and far less reactive—manner.

From the Righteous Russia Series that kicked this publication off 13 months ago, which is a case study in challenging pre-set paradigms to oft-cited features like Narrative Whiplash, Bicameral Brilliance and Irregular Hope to the ‘Good’ Reset, I hope to continue to build out the Bright Archives into a psychological armory of sorts, where readers like you can return when a particular Narrative or Actual Deployment finds chinks in your psychological armor and sets you on a disorienting path in this Fifth-Generation War.

Of course, as I often admit, I do not have all the answers. Hell, I don’t think I have ANY firm answers. But what I do seem to have a knack for is asking the right questions, and with the aforementioned features and many to come, hopefully I have a knack for guiding my readers into the right sort of mindset to ask their own questions.

For, as explored in Sunday’s special feature, Jewels in the Dark, questions are at the heart of the enemy’s fear.

Today, however, I want to leave lyricism largely to the side if I can manage it and instead focus our collective, directed attention back onto the most obvious and embarrassing representative in collectivist, Deep State power incarnate in our current sociopolitical climate.

I am talking, of course, about the Resident on the White House Set, the Crown Prince of Confusion and the Maverick Maestro of Misinformation himself, Joe Biden, fresh off his latest awe-inspiring—for all the wrong reasons—State of the Union Address, not to mention a week and a half wherein the ‘Acting’ Admin found itself assaulted from all sides in the Information War.

While there are undoubtedly countless denizens of darkness we have explored and will explore in the future, and while myself and many other minds in this community consider Biden to be among the ‘weakest’ and least influential cabalists on the backend, the fact remains that he has been thrust front and center by … powers we will take a few stabs at guessing in this series.

And while we could spend an entire series exploring Biden’s latest gaffes—from the verbal and cognitive to the economic, political and even kinetic—what I want to cut to the heart of in this piece is one of the most contentious topics within the Truth Community—and beginning to spill out into the larger sociopolitical zeitgeist of late—surrounding the Biden Administration.

And that topic—rather, that question—is as simple and chuckle-inducing as it is profound and essential to both asking and, perhaps eventually, venturing to answer.

But before we get to that, let’s take a rare Burning Bright dive into an Actual Event—that being, Biden’s State of the Union address from last week.

After letting the event—which I subjected myself to for your benefit in the company of other Badlands Media minds—marinate in my mind for the last several days, my overall impression of it now remains largely unchanged.

In short, Joe Biden gave two speeches on Tuesday night: the first was a MAGA and America First address that touted the importance of on-shoring U.S. production, cutting reliance on foreign powers, peace through strength rhetoric and limits to Big Pharma. The second devolved into the usual attention-grabbing, social justice pandering drivel that combined COVID and climate change fear mongering with race baiting and gun grabbing until it all resembled the usual Globalist-Communist-Marxist-’New Left’ sludge we’ve been trying to pull this country out of for years.

Now, whether or not ANY of Biden’s claims or extolled virtues in the first half of his speech were offered earnestly—I’m sure we all have more than a bit of doubt on that account—what I found profound about the whole thing was the fact that, either through overt or covert control of the Narrative Game Board, patriots seem to have forced the current Administration—the current ‘ruling party,’—into the public endorsement and alignment with the very Trump MAGA campaign that they have spent the better part of the last decade demonizing to the very audience members they had cheering for a return to nationalist, America First policy on Tuesday night.

In other words, if you closed your eyes, applied a slight memory wipe and added some voice-change software to the proceedings, and if you removed yourself from engagement with the State of the Union before the second-half collapse, you might think you were listening to a Donald Trump speech from 2015, albeit without going so far as to offer up a wall as a solution to the rash of border-related crises the sitting Resident acknowledged, seemingly for the first time.

Talk about Narrative Whiplash.

Even more encouraging and scintillating, and more relevant to our purpose today was Trump’s own communications both preceding, during and following his seeming adversary’s address. As explored in The Master, Donald Trump doesn’t advance any communications or rhetoric by mistake.

His timing is impeccable, and his control over the public Narrative is stronger than any public figure I’ve ever had the pleasure of studying.

By offering his own State of the Union in direct contrast to Biden’s, Trump continued to present a mirror to the American public of what COULD be and what SHOULD be rather than what a rigged election system has provided us. He then set the gravitas aside and joined the rest of his Deplorables for a healthy—and humorous—social media heckling session during the speech that served as both a memetic event all on its own and threatened to crash the Truth Social servers on more than one occasion.

In essence, the real President heckled the fake President on social media during a State of the Union speech in which said fake President spent a good deal of time forced into the open endorsement of the real President’s policies and stances—all of which he ran AGAINST just two years ago, and all while the political Overton Window continues to shift ever further in the direction of America First nationalist sentiment.

This observation provides a tantalizing and encouraging peak into a near future wherein Trump retakes that high and mighty office once more (publicly, this time,) and does so with the FULL mandate of a more unified American public.

Thus, it was Trump’s demeanor—a mix of strong and confident, cutting and cunning—that I found most alluring and steadying in the midst of the sociopolitical chaos.

Even while he waxed poetic—okay, not TOO poetic—about the dangers this Admin continues to present to the nation and even the world, for that matter, Trump is relaxed. You might even say he’s happy, or comfy-cozy.

But why?

Well, that’s where the true subject of today’s discussion comes in, and that subject arrives in the form of a question, as oft-debated as it is oft-explored:

Who controls the Biden Administration?

It’s a simple question, isn’t it? Rife with the potential for any number of simple, direct … and completely contradictory answers.

And therein lies the rub.

From the cringeworthy ‘official’ response—or lack thereof—to perceived Chinese escalation in a perceived clandestine war only just beginning to creep out of the shadows and into the spotlight, to the continued deterioration of the American economic and cultural identity, to the most obvious and increasingly-mainstream appeals to Weekend at Biden’s allusions with regards to the confidence our implied ‘leadership’ currently inspires in the American public, Joe Biden and his ilk are currently the main actors on the stage, both literally and—far more relevant to our purposes today—metaphorically.

Add to all of this the bombshell report emanating from a man in Seymour Hersh respected by both independent and legacy media members as one of the most tireless, detail-oriented and well-sourced reporters in American history that the CIA and Pentagon helped carry out a false flag attack on the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline with the knowledge and cooperation of the Biden Administration—who summarily and vehemently denied the report, and the question takes on even more poignancy.

Who controls the Biden Administration?

Venture to ask that question, then—the one concerning control relative to this ‘Acting’ Admin—to your fellow Americans, and you’re not only likely to get a wide range of disparate, dramatic and disorienting responses from each depending on political and social persuasions, but I would venture my own guess that the most varied, firm and, once again, increasingly-contradictory responses might spill out of this community—one built and grown on its ability to employ active discernment in a war named after the dissemination, obfuscation and corruption of information itself.

And I am no different.

While ‘Patriots are in Control’ narratives abound in this community, and while I am perhaps one of the most ardent and direct pushers of that sort of rhetoric when it comes to the Biden Clown Show, it behooves us to explore all the various turnings of that ubiquitous—and contentious—phrase.

You see, for every one of us who advances confidence-boosting, observational claims that Patriots are, in fact in control in the ways it matters most, there is another who decries such claims as ‘hopium,’ accusing writers like me of promising false hope, misleading MAGA and America First patriots and leading them to develop attitudes of complacency and calm in the midst of what most of us directly or tacitly acknowledge is a Shadow version of World War 3.

I explore this seeming contradiction—‘seeming’ being the operative word—in the recently-published Irregular Hope, explaining in detail why I believe charges of hopium are almost always overblown and less reasoned than the more positive theories advanced by the very patriots the Doom Brigade seeks to overwhelm with a flood of black pills masquerading as realism.

But today, I think it’s best if we focus this dichotomous discussion onto the most important sociopolitical vector in the western world right now, and—whether we believe Patriots are in control or not—the fact remains that the Biden Administration is ‘seen’ as the current leader of the Western World, for better (yes, there IS good news,) and worse.

And today, my fellow patriots, I’m going to have my cake and I’m going to eat it to.

Joe Biden IS the current President of the United States, for all intents and purposes. Joe Biden IS leading the United States toward economic, social and political ruin. Joe Biden and his family ARE representative of the deep-rooted, systemic corruption that makes up the heart of the Globalist Deep State.

And Joe Biden IS and DOES represent a walking, talking sociopolitical paradigm of incompetence, malfeasance and outright negligence that is catastrophically damaging to the very System of Systems he ostensibly represents.

Do you see it?

Do you see the contradiction that is NOT a contradiction?

Do you see the problem that is, in fact—or could be—a solution for us, and a death knell for [them?]

In order to engage with this paradoxical framework, we need to apply both Bicameral Thinking and focus on Net Effects at the same time, two concepts I reference with such frequency in my writing and in my public commentary that they’ve been added to the Burning Bright drinking game some folks jokingly—or perhaps not?—play while watching my live appearances.

To truly understand whose Admin it is, anyway, and who Joe Biden actually works for, we need to skip to the ending before charting a path there. We need to hold seemingly-contradictory paradigms in our minds at the same time, map out the Net Effects of each, observe the current sociopolitical Game Board and see if one collapses onto the real with more accuracy and alignment than the unreal.

That is my charge—my appeal—to you today, and I would ask that you practice this intentionally-paradoxical mindset over the course of the coming weeks as you observe the Net Effects of the Biden Administration and all its gaffes, embarrassments—and occasionally, its Trumpian policy signings—with an eye toward the world we’re attempting to guide the Collective Mind of American society into, rather than the one we’re consciously and purposefully leaving behind.

In doing so, you might come to see what I believe I have seen—an observation that has given me such a surety of calm when it comes to the direction this Information War is taking, that I cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of positivity with regards to our American future—and that is the prospect that, whether the Biden Admin is ‘our Op’ or [theirs,] the Net Effect of that Op will be the acceleration of the Great Awakening and the dissolution of the Globalist Deep State empire on the back of one of their most notorious—and notoriously-incompetent—stooges.

Because, when you apply the tenets of Game Theory to the mapping of the Biden Admin and all its gaffes, mistakes and even its oddly-Trumpian policies when it comes to trade and production, you reach the same endpoint, no matter which path you take to get there.

The Biden Administration is an utter disaster. It is Rudderless. And that’s a good thing.

Reading these words and then speaking them aloud is akin to voluntarily subjecting yourself to the same psychological tension we often accuse the ideological, authoritative ‘Left’ of adopting—the ‘Normies’ we reference in the Truth Community who are unplugged from their own cognitive processing abilities, while being plugged in in the most literal way possible to the enemy’s Matrix of Systemic, collectivist and contradictory thinking.

And yet, honing and retaining the ability to engage with contradictory ideas without mapping one’s actions or identity to either is representative of Bicameral Thinking, as, in a war for the Collective Mind of American—and world—society, SOME contradictions are contradictions in name only, and reveal themselves as logical, even somewhat obvious, albeit paradoxical deployments on closer examination.

Thus, when we examine the Biden Administration and the Puppet Resident himself, around which the only seeming agreement all Americans can seem to come to is that he is, in fact a Puppet President, and consider the Net Effect of his reputational ruination, which not only continues to this day, two full years into the dawning of his fraudulent—and false in more ways than one—reign, but accelerates by the week, we can see why the answer as to who is really in control of the current Game Theory Game Board is inherent in the question itself.

For all Americans—all sovereign minds the world over—seem to be in agreement on one simple, obvious truth:

Whomever IS in control of the Biden Administration does not reside within the Biden Administration itself.

So. Who controls the Biden Administration?

Sometimes the answer lies within the question.

And that is where I’ll leave you for now.

While we break and ruminate on the question for the time being, I will return with Part 2, in which I’ll attempt to do the impossible—even the inadvisable—by warring against my own Macro nature in attempting to provide answers—contradictory and paradoxical though they may be—rather than leaving you with questions alone, even if I firmly believe asking the right questions is the most important skill to develop in the Information War.

Of course, if you’ve been reading Burning Bright for any length of time, you’ll know that, if I plan to offer answers, I plan to do so in a manner that prompts even more of the right questions in your Bright and Burning minds in the process.

Stay tuned … and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

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

Continue on to Part 2.
