I tried to explain the Ukraine conflict in the light of sovereignty to a Russian professor at the liberal arts college near me. I am bad at redpilling to be sure because she deeply opposes Putin. I could probably never bring her to read your series, and she unwittingly reinforces my acquired distaste for contemporary academe. Your series resonates with me as a Russophile and student of the language
An exceptionally good mind combined with exceptionally good writing skills!
This has been a great read - Thank You.
The conflict I have experienced with family members so hypnotized by the msm has been growing more intense lately…the slightest alternate remark on my part triggers a surprising emotional intensity on theirs. In the context of what I have just read here, this makes so much sense; I finally find a way in my mind to remain detached and will adopt a new strategy of just planting a seed. I can see the mass formation psychosis beginning to crack with them which explains the fairly new intensity of their defense against any threat to their brainwashed world view.
I just reached the top of a new peak and the view is far more encompassing…and oddly, more peaceful.
Excellent. True. I only want to add, that God, the Creator and His Son and His Spirit have real POWER and TRUTH and LIght. THAT my friend, is the end game. Follow the narrow path.. what a thrill.
Many thanks for a great piece ( as usual ) that is truly helpful in discerning current events. English was my most challenging subject throughout school and even though i am an avid reader I still fail to grasp the rules of literature / writing. You have a larger impact than you may realize.
Burning Bright, like your article's message, I have good-bad feedback leading to all good:
1--Your use of the possessive of "Nazi's" for the plural "Nazis" surprises me. You must have been absent for that school-day grammar lesson. Petty, huh? But highly irritating like sand in the eye.
2--Yet your word choice paints so graphically the concepts you are teaching us like mind war. You are a poet constrained by the substack medium. Example:
". . .a longer game, planting seeds that, once flowered, will form a latticework that ensnares the invisible enemy in too many simultaneous traps to escape. Remain still, and they are paralyzed, and therefore, defeated. Twist and thrash, and they’ll tear themselves apart on the thorns their barbed lies have sprouted." W o w !
Ergo, I applaud your truthful message, sand and all.
As you wrote before, the Russians have the powerful weapon for PEACE of the Orthodox faith. They just came through 100 years in hell. Who else can say that?
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and locked and sealed it over him, so that he would deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let out for a little while. Rev 20:1-3
I don’t know who you are or where you’ve come from, but you’ve just lent some much-needed intellectual credence to the cause of truth. When the student is ready the teacher appears. Seems to be a pattern in this movement. 😉 We needed to attract more heady thinkers to the side of truth, taking it from the basement to the ivory tower. And... here you are.
This is the first of your articles to which I am so grateful to have been exposed. I completely see where this is going, and I have fallen in love with that direction. It has always been a war for the minds of the normies. When the truth hits them square in between their eyes, they will know it is true and know all else is false. The past few years have primed them to get it once it happens. Just brilliant!
Just discovered today... beautifully written, powerfully argued and very much to the point of a perspective which brings much to light. Many thanks. Well done!
Brilliant!!! Or should I say Bright Brilliance. So true. But again, as long as we focus on our Faith in one True God, we will NOT experience whiplash! I LOVE what is happening, not knowing who to trust; even beloved Trump says things that he knows he must say for effect. The ONLY words we can hold on to like clutch a tree in a wind storm is our faith and the small still voice speaking to us in our hearts because He is in me as He is in His Father and His Father is in Him and as one, they have the real POWER. This situation has revealed to me how many beautiful faithful people we have in this country. I dare say most of the people who are awake are so because they all have God in them guiding.
Excellent again. You’re quite correct about this ‘mind war’. As the saying roughly goes: there’s no such thing as bad publicity. The key here is where the truth lies. The globalist propagandists – on the current Russia issue as on many others – are being forced to weave layer upon layer of lies, obfuscation and downright bullshit to prop up their narratives. The ‘good guys’ have no real need to counter much of this; it is enough that there are genuine counter-moves, and a long enough timeline. Inevitably the truth seeps out anyway – and when appropriately pushed, the liars-at-large have absolutely no chance of maintaining their delusions. I think you have absolutely nailed this.
Each part you write is somehow even BETTER than the previous one!!!! Amazing!!!!!

You are making my mind a little less discombobulated with each writing. Thank you.

First I've ever heard of Burning Bright and what a heck of an introduction via Mind War.

Wow! You hit the target again! So astute! Thank you!
Thank you.
