BB, great to meet you and spend some time with you in AZ. Having been to both Threadfests, I knew that the audience would blow you "new" guys away. This is the greatest group of people who you will ever find. I'm sure that is apparent to you now. Badlands attracts brilliant minds and genuine beautiful souls who represent everything that was great about America and being American. There is no doubt that we will not lose this war. It is only a matter of time and on the other side of that will be the greatest times ever. I can't wait to enjoy every phase of this Great American Restoration with you and all the Badlanders across this great land.
I have been with you since your first post and this is one of your best BB!! We are ALL truly in this together! It will take all of us to keep up the fight for our country now and for what our country will look like for future generations. I enjoy having a community I feel a part of--where I sometimes find vastly different opinions--but all for the same cause. I live in a "sleeping" community and have a "sleeping" family, so I turn to so many online Patriots! I pray those "sleeping souls" will actually wake up soon. Until then I will try to "stay bright" And give my best to the wonderful Mrs. BB!!
Thanks BB, I was not able to attend but your story painted a vivid picture of the humanity of the event and our Awakening. We all have a role and one seed can produce amazing results.
I enjoy your perspective on the movement (and life) and I am always amazed by your writing style.
Keep up the great work. I hope to meet you at a future GART event.
Oh, fearless tiger! You’ve just described with your typical brilliance the ‘person’ created and gifted by God! Each of us, no matter what character, intelligence or talent, has social fears and inflated confidences, anxiety in unfamiliar places and situations, and stage fright before a performance. Without the ‘fright’ the performance, speech, presentation, etc., isn’t the best! That very insecurity is what pushes us to be better with our gifts! I have seen so very many gifts and so many roles in this war against worldwide slavery! Some haven’t even begun as it seems apparent that many who are quietly learning the truth and exploring how to wield it, may be set aside to provide comfort to those rocked with fear when more is revealed. Many have been gifted to encourage those who are more on the front lines, to let them know they are heard and appreciated! We, who are aware, have been specifically and individually gifted with our roles in this battle. Without each role God has gifted each for, we could not win, but that is the brilliance of our Creator. The sum is greater than its parts and the sum is what is needed to win, however long it takes! Each role is important, but especially the weakest link, and it will require you as a brilliant teacher and analyst, as well as each of the rest of us, to prop that weak link up so it cannot fail. We need warriors, caretakers and builders of what is to come and, I for one, am so very thankful God’s gifts to mankind include you! A special thank you to Mrs. Bright, as I’m sure she is a supporter and a balance for you. We each need a solid helping hand when weak and one who can keep our perspective of our importance when we’re overconfident. Many of us who realized how your overactive mind resonates so clearly with us are so very thankful for the gifts you’ve been given and the support you have received! God bless you and your wife! We, with God’s help, will always have your back.🙏
Fantastic article Burning Bright! We Badlanders are very fortunate to have you in our family. You amaze me with your insight, intelligence and integrity. I am glad to know that someone with your enormous talent stands with the Patriot movement!
I didn’t make it to the GART weekend but this article helped me to feel part of it... and even made me cry as you described the depth/width of the emotions you experienced there. Badlands is one of the best resources I’ve discovered over the past year and DEFECTED is one of my favorite shows. It is so refreshing to tune in to the very thoughtful coverage/analysis of our very confusing world. We are all in this adding our piece to the effort (even if that is just encouraging those who are articulate/intelligent/honorable) as we continue to inch forward in our reclamation of dignity and SELF reliance. We have all taken “hits” but (as Chris Paul said) but we keep keep moving forward. Thank you (and Mrs. Bright) for holding the lantern bright for others to see and tune into for inspiration and humor. Hope to express gratitude in person some day... until then... sending loving and appreciation! 🙏💕
Perfect. All of it, just perfect. I was reflecting earlier on my own path to this time. I've always been a researcher and critical thinker. As things began to unravel at what I considered to be a level of ridiculous off the charts... scandemic, election, Jan 6, etc I began searching for real. Real news, real thought-makers, real conversation, real conclusions. What I initially found were those shouting the equally ridiculous... JFK Jr, NESARA/GESARA, Clones, secret Gitmo trials, etc. Making my way through that garbage, I stumbled onto X22 and then Brian Cates... which finally led to Jon's Devolution series and now Badlands. And now I'm home. I've found my Tribe. I've introduced others into the fold. It's been a journey for us all, each arriving by different paths. Many of us have now converged but it's certainly not our final destination! Now, we travel forward together, gaining strength as we KEEP. GOING. ON. I look forward to meeting you all in person at the next GART event!
A good sound name, “The Great American Restoration Tour”, very
fitting for what is exactly needed.
Yeah, we’re not there yet, but it’s
like you referenced Chris Paul’s
comment about keep moving forward. The LORD works that way.
Throughout history, to me it seems HE always chooses the most unlikely candidate to fulfill His will, according to the human perspective anyway. As an example, GOD called Gideon a “valiant warrior” while he was threshing wheat in the winepress hiding from the Midianites. (Judges 6). He was the youngest in is family from the smallest tribe of Israel. GOD probably laughs at insignificancy
b/c of what HE is able to accomplish through our weaknesses. Maybe this attribute of God’s character is what inspired Tolkien to chose Frodo, the humble hobbit, as the ring bearer, the instrument to ultimately destroy Sauron’s power. This many-faceted war humanity
is submerged in, definitely is spiritual--between the Kingdom of GOD vs the kingdom of darkness. Yes, GOD wins, however, HE wants us to share in His victory. Basically, it’s “without GOD,
man cannot, but without man, GOD will not!” Essentially, GOD wants to shame
& destroy the devil through us. His
Word is settled in heaven, & now is a
good time for to pray: “LORD, it is time
for You to act, for these evil ppl have
violated Your instructions!” (psalm 119:126). The best weapons the child
of God has in his/her arsenal, are thankfulness & praise which shames
the devil, heralding, decreeing, proclaiming, praying the word of GOD.
So get yourself a 9 iron & send the promises of GOD’s word far-reaching with a soft landing.
Excellent! I was a GART online "lurker", enjoyed every single minute of the panels and hearing questions from the audience. It was very encouraging, it is wearying some days, this battle we are all in. Badlands has had a calming effect on me, introducing me to new voices. The biggest thing I have gleaned from hours of listening and watching is to ASK Questions and stop trying to tell people what is going on. They don't listen, but sometimes they do stop, think and answer a question. Hopefully, that gets them thinking more. Forever grateful to be a part of this community.
"Restoration" has been my personal theme for many years. The reason I love the word is due to a personal "word" I received from the Holy Spirit back in 2014. Our family of 9 people (mom, dad, and 7 kids) had lost everything we had worked for when we moved to NC back in 2005. A nice house with land, a business, and lots of cash to a failed business venture that was built around "connecting" with a our small town community in Pilot Mtn, NC.
We were very naive (mainly me) that the idea of opening up a "living room on Main Street" cafe in the center of our small southern town that most of the locals would appreciate that effort and support it. Some did and many didn't. As an aside, my wife is a tremendous cook so we offered the best food in town as stated by the town manager who lived right next door to our cafe. We offered a place for kids and families to come to have gatherings, we did live music, and offered church services on Sunday.
In 2011 we eventually had to leave that small town to find real work which happened to be in southern California. This move happened while my wife was 7 months pregnant with our 8th child. The opportunity in CA. was short lived and in 6 months we were back to NJ where my wife was from.
This move became the only thing do after the passing of my wife's mom in May of 2011 to a terrible form of cancer. We spent 2.5 years doing our part to support the family and keep our heads above water in this "high rent" part of the US. Every time I would start a good thing something would happen that would kill my effort to grow my work. I felt like I was fighting God and His will for our family.
Eventually we realized we were just spinning our wheels in the mud so my wife surprisingly suggested we move back to that same small town that ruined us financially back in 2008. Once I received her encouragement (I was the one who moved us there in the first place). I scanned the internet to find a job that suited my skills.
In short order i landed an interview with a company not far from Pilot Mtn. and over a weekend trip I miraculously landed a job and found a large home to rent that would adequately handle our large family.
While all this "change" was transpiring I received from the Holy Spirit the word "Restoration" of all that was lost back in 2008. I have clung to that "word" like a child holds tightly their favorite blanket or teddy bear. I will never let it go. I believe we all have to cling to the word - Restoration. Not Revival, but a total rebuild of America.
If you are a believer in the Holy Bible as the Living Word of God, we know He will eventually "restore" us and the earth back to its original purpose and design. That's the point of Jesus coming and dying on the cross. WE need to be restored back to the Garden of Eden experience, walking in fellowship with Our Creator and with each other.
So what we are about as a faith filled community? Whether we realize it or not, we are on the verge of an incredible rebuild and restoration of all things, what our forefathers hoped for centuries ago here in America and millenniums ago in the land of Canaan for our father Abraham.
Here is a scripture that makes this point very plain out of the book of Acts.
Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
I love you guys and gal. Love that you, they finally admit that Jon and Kate are a thing. Yes we could see that blooming. Yes we could see you were nervous, but I think that nervous energy is prolly what got you thru the marathon weekend. So exciting. I do think things are coming to a head, but I've been thinking that for 3 years. I love that Trump doesn't say, If I get elected of if I regain the white house...He says "when I'm president I am going to..." He is confident in the win in 2024 and that gives me great confidence. I think that will be the great turning point. the future will be great
That is going to happen. Trump spent the early part of his presidency setting this all up. Brics+ didn't just form on its own. Trump got all the anti-globalists to work against the common enemy, the deepstate tyrants. It was not a tough sell. They already hated the powers that be and were hoping someone like Trump came along to see things as they actually are and then have a solution to end the Globalists tyrannical rule. We will end up with a multi-polar world but with the Reborn USA at the helm and great Nationalist leaders like Putin, Modi, MBS, Xi, Bolsonaro and others closely allied. It's gonna be everything that you are hoping for.
Losing is NOT an option in 2024. Our Country will be lucky, if it can last until then. We can keep going ,after that, but it won't be the United States of America anymore. With what JOEBAMA and the Democrat Communists are doing to our Country, I'm not fooling myself.
Hi..hi...hi.. Burning Bright! I was so disappointed that I didn't make it to Chandler because I was supposed to meet my very first grand baby in NY the same time all of you were to meet, but alas was in the ER and didn't make it! I'm hoping all of you will meet in the desert again and I will definitely be there! Okay, now for the comment I really wanted to say.....I just realized something about your writing and I will compare it to the way I dream.......for an example, most will say I'm going from the dining room into the kitchen, but not you....if I was to dream going from the dining room into the kitchen it would be such a dramatic journey meeting people having conversations, the lighting may change, the people may change with color variations, emotions get stirred, and that is just going from one room to another.....that's how you write as if you are in a deep dream state with all the wonders of the imagination while you are on a journey of writing....and that's so cool my friend!!!!!
p.s. if you enjoyed our great weather here in the desert, you're welcome, I put in an order for a sunny weekend 😉
I also am grateful for this community/family, for my family is still sleeping and I hope they awaken soon. I live in Bangor ME, a transplant from NYC many years ago. I discovered today that there is a like minded fellow named David Duchene who writes and publishes the Fort Fairfield Journal. He has also had a like minded 12 year old female write articles about her experience with COVID in school and her trip to DC to hear Donald Trump's speech at CPAC. I will stay bright.

Keep Shining Bright
Rest and take care of yourself and your family.
