Light the Dark

Reflections on Our Past, Present and Future

First of all, I want to welcome all of the new subscribers who have joined us over the course of the last week, which has been one of the most eventful in the Truth Community, MAGA/America First movement and Strange War we’ve seen in some time.

While attacks have intensified against those of us who still believe we’re in for a bright future, even if it comes on the back of a difficult period in American history, I was pleasantly surprised to see such accusations drowned out by how many of you decided to sign up to check out this humble newsletter penned by a tiger in recent days.

There is plenty of room for healthy debate and disagreement in this community, but I have taken this surge in support as a sign that those calling for unity, dialogue, rational thought and calm rather than doom, gloom and cynicism in the face of defeats that only seem like defeats when we allow our base, reactive emotions to guide our minds are doing needed work.

For every soul who gives in to the doom brigade attempting to demoralize you or dissuade you from support of Donald Trump, his allies and our unstoppable, peaceful and resolute movement to take back this nation from those who have subverted it and swept it out from under our feet over the course of generations, it appears that there are 500 more of you willing to refocus and retrain your minds, engage with the Info War so that it cannot engage you and be the masters of your own—of our own—shared destinies.

You will not always agree with my writings or my commentary. Hell, I don’t always agree with my own writings and commentary when I have the benefit of hindsight, but as long as you’re here, I feel that we can help guide each other into a more positive, sustainable and, yes even Bright future.

With that out of the way, today’s piece is a bit more reflective than analytical.

To start, there’s just no getting around it; the last week has been one of the most contentious, controversial and chaotic in the Truth Community and the America First movement we have seen in some time. With the benefit of shared hindsight, it seems that most have been pulled back or stepped back from the proverbial ledge and realized that Donald Trump announcing his candidacy for the 2024 Presidential Election is not only NOT a bad thing, but is further confirmation of what many of us have been writing about and commenting on for months, even years—that being the core, foundational truth at the heart of the Q Op, Devolution or adjacent Continuity of Government plans that may be in effect and the cultural uprising known as the Great Awakening.

In short, before we can take back this country from the liars, beggars and brutes that have stolen it from us, and in plain sight, we must first have a large enough portion of the population awakened in order to do so while preserving the public mandate to lead us into a sovereign future free from the subversive chains of our would-be overlords.

Amidst all of the doomers, blackpillers and even the paid disinformation agents—a group I somewhat doubted the existence of until recent events made me question even my own suppositions about the lengths some powers may go to in order to ensure our movement splinters—there were also plenty of folks who were earnestly lost in the wake of what they saw as an anticlimactic and even disappointing announcement.

As I wrote about some hours BEFORE Trump’s much-publicized announcement, the announcement itself was far less important in my eyes than the Narrative Control ‘The Master’ storyteller himself, Donald J. Trump demonstrated leading up to it.

Keep in mind, people, it seems that the powers that would be were so concerned about this announcement and its effect on the Collective Mind of American Society that they were caught in a laughable—if concerning—attempt to frame Russia for the start of World War III when a Ukrainian missile launch that killed two Polish citizens was blamed on Putin’s Federation.

This lie—like so many others of late—was exposed in a matter of hours rather than days, weeks or months, which is one of the most encouraging signs to date that my Macro, Directional theory regarding Narrative Acceleration and Escalation has put the enemy in a position where they are exhausting ammunition—both of the Actual and Potential variety—at an unsustainable rate while their Media Industrial Complex crumbles around them.

The twin pieces I penned in the lead-up to this announcement, ‘The Wolves Among Us,’ and ‘The Master,’ have actually grown in relevance and poignancy in the aftermath, as I attempted to caution you then not to accept the faulty paradigms put forth to you not just by those who are open and caustic about their hatred of everything we stand for, but by Con Inc. and other seeming ‘allies’ to Donald Trump and to us. To accept the enemy’s framing of Narrative Deployments is to accept their foundations, which are rooted in an attempt to divide and eventually conquer a movement whose momentum and magnitude dwarfs anything they could have imagined just a few short years ago.

My retrospective to those pieces, penned in the immediate aftermath of the psychological and political chaos of the reactions to Trump’s announcement is the most-read piece I’ve ever written, and I believe that ‘All Assets Deployed’ will stand the test of time as a sober, hopeful and hopefully helpful rumination on the Expectation Game we can all get drawn into playing, the weight of illogical, faulty projections and the benefit of employing Bicameral Thinking and Game Theory to everything we’re witnessing of late.

Remember, as General Michael Flynn so recently confirmed, we are in the midst of a Fifth-Generation Psychological War, and in a war like that, YOU are the ammunition. Your minds hold the collective key to the Collective Mind, which is what all factions on the game board currently seek to control so that they might use it to forge whatever paradigm they wish to forge.

While that is a disconcerting prospect taken at face value, there is an underlying truth at its core that I attempted to communicate in said retrospective: they are after YOU because YOU are powerful. They seek to control your mind because your mind is powerful.

This piece is already getting longer than I intended, so instead of deep dives into these concepts, which I already did in pieces such as ‘The Spider-Man 2 Effect’ and ‘The Good Reset,’ two recent Truths of mine sum up my overall thoughts on the WHY of Trump’s announcement at a more Macro, long-term level, while the aforementioned pieces leading into said announcement explain the short-term thinking/strategy at play, namely to expose the very agitators, doomers and enemies to the America First agenda as we move into the offensive phase of this Info War.

I plan to dive into exactly what that Offensive Phase will entail as we rocket toward 2023, but suffice to say, as Trump himself is fond of reminding us, no matter how rocky the journey, you’re going to like how this movie ends.

My appeal to you today is less steeped in logic and more in reasoned emotion, for, despite cautions against being wielded BY said emotions, they must never be abandoned. Emotion makes us human. It makes it all worthwhile. It comes from the heart and soul, and, if trained properly it can and will help us move into this uncertain, albeit inevitable future with resolute and disciplined hope.

It isn’t goalpost moving or hopium to suggest that what happened this week was exactly what needed to happen for the long-term vision of this once-sovereign and future-sovereign nation. This is my honest, logical assessment, that tracks with suppositions I have made in the past and continue to map into the future. To think the alternative is not only to give in to despair, but to start building out a paradigm that I do not believe maps onto what we’re seeing out of the ‘Acting Admin’ or the one supposedly gearing up for another run.

From my ruminations on Narrative Whiplash and Narrative Convergence to the enemy Death Spiral we did witness and are witnessing in the lead-up to and fallout from the Midterm Elections—far more successful than most would have you believe—to the Age of Mirrored Empires theory I advanced in the most popular entry in the Righteous Russia series that started it all at Burning Bright, I stand by my convictions that we are in a war of stories, and that we have better storytellers.

Everything I am building at Burning Bright is meant to be a cognitive cypher through which to observe the seemingly—on the surface—unobservable. I will be wrong about specifics, which is why I shy away from them except for in the purely hypothetical. I engage with Macro and Directional thinking for a reason. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s useful. It allows us to see the direction of events so that we might project beyond small disappointments and even avoid being swept up in momentary heights of euphoria, and also because these concepts, some of which I have built upon and some of which I have developed myself align closely with the Fifth-Generation War I believe we are involved in.

From Election Fraud to Financial Malfeasance to the rot at the heart of the Entertainment and Cultural Zeitgeist, [their] System of Systems MUST be exposed before it can be torn down and replaced, and I believe that is EXACTLY what we’re seeing take place. It must be exposed inch by inch, mile by mile and mind by mind.

As some of my peers have said, this process can feel like being awake for your own surgery to the awakened and awakening minds in this community, writing these words and reading them back. That is our burden to share. That is our purpose to guide. That is our reason to be, until this war is won.

In order to move forward as a collection rather than a mindless collective, we need to know who we can trust, and more importantly, who we cannot, from the ‘Conservative’ blue checks on the circular firing squad that Twitter has become to those more given to doom and division within our own supposed movement, Trump’s announcement will go down in history not because of what he said, but because of what doing so revealed in the sociopolitical ether.

After all, it pays to know those who would sow the seeds of mutiny before the America First ship sets sale for its great push into the future we all hope to see and to bring about, for us and for those who come after us, so that the contentions of this time might be ripples in the timeless sea that American and World Sovereignty and freedom can truly be in the future.

All the while we toil in the trenches of the Info War, a forced reconciliation with the public is underway, as Trump transitions slowly from the Orange Man to the Truth Teller before our eyes, and in the minds of the reachable and essential ‘middle’ of American society.

This is happening, slowly but surely, if you have the eyes to see it.

The Precipice is happening, as well. While there may be a terrifying, unifying ‘Scare Event,’ that brings it all home, the Precipice is not one event, it is a diamond with many edges, from the financial to the cultural to the constitutional, the international to the political to the kinetic. It is as painful as it is necessary, and when we are done with it, we will each and together represent the very diamond that this psychological, emotional and cognitive crucible embodies now.

So as we move into this uncertain and difficult period of time, watch those who scream the loudest. Those you were told to trust in the ‘alternative’ media. Watch the vicious assault of the Media Industrial Complex and Con Inc. And even take note of those you respect who—though not paid opposition—devolve into fits and demands, tantrums and rants when they don’t get their way. And underneath all of that, glimpse the fear that underlies it all.

Fear of us. Fear of what we can be. Fear of what we will be.

I don’t appeal to God or higher power often in my writing, because I am private and movable in my beliefs, but I do believe there is something else at work here. There are ways even [their] agents seem to be pushing the awakening in our direction.

This concept is most clearly displayed in Michael Moore’s unwitting campaign ad that will forever stand the test of time. Don’t look at the messenger, but please listen to this and listen to the message being conveyed.

Something or Someone seemed to take control of Moore when he gave this address to a group of Trump-hating, MAGA-eschewing, partisan ideologues, as his undeniable talent for direct, clear and emotional rhetoric moved to inspire the very people he was trying to subvert in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

Moore’s stated intention with this monologue was to rally that left-wing base so that they might bring us down and prevent Trump from ushering in the awakening we are still going through now. He failed in his mission, and yet, in all the most important ways and in ways he may never understand, he succeeded.

I still remember seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 as a young man, when I aligned closely with the Democratic party. So closely, in fact that I registered as one of them. Rather than looking back on that period of time and that registration with shame, I wear it as a badge of honor because of what it represents, and what it represents is a willingness and ability to take active steps to engage with the paradigm I existed in or was programmed into and to remove myself from it.

Now, if someone with ill intent can be guided in that way, and used for good, how powerful can those with directed and intentional minds calibrated toward light and truth be? How about together?

So I guess that’s the point of this piece, now that I come to it. The point isn’t just to embrace the light, but to be the light.

If all I manage to accomplish as I build … whatever it is I’m building here, is to spark that light, or blow life into coals in your hearts and minds that have laid dormant and cool, ashen and gray, and see them restored into golden, pulsing jewels of awakening, then I suppose I’ll have done my part in some small way.

Just as you are doing yours.

So thank you all for the last 11 months at Burning Bright.

Thank you for your readership and your encouragement, your honest disagreement and reflection, your intangible support and your tangible support, which I continue to use to devote more and more of my time to this journey. And thank you for giving me the energy to continue on and build Burning Bright into something I hope provides true value for you.

When I started this journey, I found myself in darkness, and in trying to shine light for others, I think I may have found my own.

Maybe in time, with your continued and growing support and with my growing role with Badlands Media, I will be able to leave my human life behind and focus all of my mental, spiritual and cognitive energy on the life of the Truthful Tiger.

Until then, I will continue to do what I do best, as long as you folks find value in it.

And until next time, as always, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.
