Tension Tightrope

Embrace the Story. Welcome the Fight.

War is conflict. Even the War for Peace.

That should come as no surprise to this audience, even if this audience is particularly well-versed in the strange, fascinating and sometimes—to the point of today’s piece—frustrating nuances of Fifth-Generation Warfare, which is the style and persuasion of the war currently contested between the forces of Globalist Collectivism and Sovereignty, or between the Finite side of the Game Theory Game Board we often refer to as the Deep State, and the Patriots represented by the Sovereign Alliance—or, to borrow a term from

clif high

, the Self-Organizing Collective, of which each and every one of YOU is a part.

Brilliant. Right?

War is conflict. Fifth-Gen Warfare is psychological conflict. That’s the sort of deep dive you come to Burning Bright for.

Of course, it’s easy to make surface-level observations like this, and I suppose it can sometimes look to those who perform cursory examinations of my commentary and writing, and that of some of my close peers and confidants—from

Just Human

to

Chris Paul

, to

Jon Herold

—that we sometimes engage in the very Overtonian goalpost-moving that we accuse our ideological, psychological and quite literal enemies of doing on a daily basis.

Those claims, which often run parallel lines with charges of ‘hopium,’ I flatly reject.

I’ve now written tens of thousands of words, and I’ve spoken many more of them through what now amounts to hundreds of hours commenting on the news cycle—which I refer to quite earnestly as the ‘War of Stories’—on Badlands Media on the subtleties and not-so-subtleties of the Info War, which has as many names as it does players, and as many deployments as it does interpretations.

The War of Stories overlays and underlies this Info War, from the domestic theater to the international, the kinetic to the clandestine, with Potential/Narrative Events both informing and being informed by Actual Events. This is the Bicameral mindset I often wax poetic about, and which I believe is key to cultivating a movable framework through which to mold one’s mind into a cognitive cypher capable of parsing the intentionally-obfuscated deluge of deployments coming at us from ALL sides on the game board … including our own.

Originally, the inspiration for this piece was meant to be a somewhat-direct follow-up to ‘The Trump Quicksand,’ in which I applied the Bicameral cypher to the Ron DeSantis Deployment, passing it through alternating and only seemingly-contradictory paradigms on either side of ‘our Op’ or [theirs] in order to see which better mapped onto reality, ultimately arriving at the still-firm conclusion that, whether it’s one of ours or [theirs,] the Net Effects it has and will visit on the Collective Mind are overwhelmingly positive for the MAGA, America First and Sovereign American movements we belong to, and that Donald Trump leads.

And I still do plan to devote a piece to a further examination of that Trump-DeSantis feud, which, while it has sunk back below the surface of the roiling waters of the percolating 2024 campaign cycle, will resurface soon, and likely with renewed energy pushed by the Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing represented by Con Inc., the Establishment Media and anyone Trump and company remain uniquely capable of riling up on command and on cue.

That said, the thematic shift of this piece from one on a specific psychological and sociopolitical conflict—manufactured or otherwise—to one ON conflict itself, intrinsic and amorphous, often-avoided and yet, never escaped, came as a result of the Narrative Events of the last 72 hours, and a particularly-fiery exchange in the halls of the United States Congress that lay near the tail end of that span.

Certainly I don’t need to recap the major events of the last few days to this audience—that being the twin Deployments of the Hunter Biden charges and expected plea and the congruent, parallel and oddly-inverted deployment of the Trump Trial set exactly one week before what is expected to be the first GOP Primary Debate—but I do think it’s worth summarizing my overall thoughts on the Net Effects to spin out of these Deployments.

Then again, I probably did so in more succinct fashion on Truth Social shortly after the stories broke:

And yet, while the vast majority of the Truth Community, MAGA and America First movements reacted—or rather, did NOT react—to the recent second Trump Indictment precisely because we’ve been trained and have trained ourselves and each other to zoom out and take in the Macro, projecting the Narrative and Actual moves and counter moves that continue to define a style of warfare based on the dissemination, corruption, manipulation and obfuscation of information itself, a good plurality of the very same audience reacted in somewhat virulent and, frankly, reductive fashion to the very manifestation of the two-tier justice system we’ve known about for years, and whose solution is a process that it will take years—and the largest RICO case ever assembled—to untangle, tear down and reform.

Of course, none of this is even getting into the fact that this week saw the revelation—commonplace to this community and yet, seismic to the Collective Mind—that the Clinton Campaign sourced and paid for the infamous and debunked Steele Dossier that stands as the START of the domestic Deep State’s mass psychological and clandestine operations against Donald Trump and the MAGA movement is now officially codified in the congressional and legal record of the United States.

This community has known or believed the Russia Collusion Hoax was just that seemingly since time immemorial in a war that often makes a mockery of its slow, inexorable march, but now the cultural and political Overton window has shifted once more, and always in our favor, because winning is a process.

Oh, and in case I really need to drill the point home a tad harder, could we please stop belittling the fact that the son of the sitting President of the United States is going to be charged and plead guilty to Tax and Gun charges after the Media Industrial Complex spent the better part of two years running defense for those very charges?

This community is well aware of what OTHER charges COULD have been brought—and still could be brought—upon Hunter and his family, but if you’ve been following the commentary of

Just Human

in particular, you’ll know that many of us believe Hunter to be little more than a bag man for the largest criminal empire in American—world—history. And no, I’m not talking about the Biden Crime Family, who are relatively small potatoes in light of the Systemic breadth of the true enemy.

In the end, do you want Hunter Biden to go to prison … or do you want the power players?

And if your answer trends with the latter … is it usually a GOOD sign for said power players when lowly bag men get a slap on the wrist from Special Counsels and Federal Prosecutors who deem them ‘cooperative,’ or is it cause for the sort of existential dread that causes American zeitgeist movers such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to be completely silent in a Narrative War they used to guide with ease, and with the full support of a Narrative delivery system that is currently floundering under a confluence of factors ranging from a serendipitously-timed Hollywood Writer’s Strike to the worst corporate ratings collapse in recent American history?

So much for a small aside on the Actual.

But I digress.

This Narrative blitzkrieg of the congruent Hunter and Trump Deployments was capped off by a fascinating congressional exchange between the House Oversight Committee—and others—and now-infamous Special Counsel John Durham, and while Durham played his part well in the estimation of myself and those I trust, considering that we believe the core of his investigation (meaning, its true targets) has very likely been handed off to those in the Inspector General’s Office—also known as the United States Military—there were many in our movement who felt it was too little, too late.

One of these figures was Matt Gaetz, perhaps the young American leader most synonymous with the America First movement in the halls of Congress, and one who played a dramatic and memorable role in the Speaker of the House drama back in January that stands as perhaps the most clear and obvious crash course for the American people on the constitution and ubiquity of the Uniparty within the American political system.

Kayfabe and false feuding aside, taken at face value, Gaetz was unimpressed with Durham’s testimony, nor the report that kicked it off, railing against the two-tier Justice System that has clearly been put forward as THE narrative push by patriots in 2023.

And while it seems there were a near-equal number of MAGA patriots who alternatively endorsed Gaetz’ rantings with frustrated, fed-up enthusiasm as there were those who decried it as empty and even damaging performance art, I was left decidedly in the middle. Not in an undecided manner, mind you, nor even in a Bicameral one, but rather with the firm belief that Gaetz did exactly what he was meant to do in this instance, and what he was guided to do by none other than Donald Trump and patriots in the U.S. Sovereign Alliance, just like he was back in January.

In both instances, Gaetz provided Narrative Shielding to Kevin McCarthy and John Durham, allowing each to play out their more measured roles in response to his fiery, performative and dramatic one, marking them as players within the System of Systems—fair or not—and him as a maverick pushing back against that System on behalf of the America First movement Trump has formed and continues to cultivate, and eventually plans to hand off to the next generation of American stalwarts.

Win-Win-Win for us. Lose-Lose-Lose for [them.] But then, I’ve got a somewhat optimistic view of the War.

In so doing, and as is often the case in the Mind War, Gaetz allows us to have our cake and eat it too, in that McCarthy—Trump’s pick for Speaker—gets in, forwards agendas that must be forwarded at this stage of Operation Warp Speed, from the continued, accelerated death of the US petrodollar to the continued Exposure of the Uniparty, while Gaetz and the America First movement are seen opposing him.

Similarly, in the case of Durham, Gaetz pushes a Narrative whose Net Effects will ultimately be beneficial to the march for Justice, either by pushing the public mandate forward to demand accountability—something that some believe can only come out of the OIG’s office and the US MIL, thereby bypassing the US DOJ, even if Durham and others like him are doing the legal legwork that will make said justice possible in the end—or Gaetz is providing the DOJ itself with Narrative Shielding, as are Kash, Bannon et al., allowing them to appear both strangely incompetent and Establishment to America First, and summarily bipartisan to the normies in a way that will make any eventual BIG arrests and convictions they trot out against the Deep State that much more shocking, effective and impervious to obfuscation from the Media Industrial Complex as a result.

The Mind War is difficult to parse. That’s the point of it, and it’s why the enemy has used mass psychological warfare for far longer than any of us truly know. That said, it’s also why these practices, techniques and strategies have been turned around on them, reverse engineered with the Infinite Game mindset that truth lies at the heart of patriot deployments, even if the seeming contradictions of contrasting deployments, false feuds and inverted narrative pushes might seem to run against the push toward justice and unity the endgame is truly all about.

In the end, we’re going to be right about many instances of Kayfabe and theater we assert in the Info War, and we’re going to be wrong about others. The irony is, we’re also not going to have clear answers as to which was which, other than to examine the gravity of events and the positions the various players end up occupying at the end of the game we’re all playing—consciously or unconsciously—both in terms of literal position and positioning within the Collective Mind.

That said, as is the case with Mike Pence and others, sacrifices will be made in the cognitive theater, reputations will not just be damaged, but intentionally so, all in service of the exposure of the System of Systems and the cultivation of the public and legal mandates to reform said Systems in our favor.

I’ve argued many times at Burning Bright that I believe the key to the Reverse Hegelian Dialectic is just that—an inversion of the principles that Deep State magicians and illusionists have weaponized against us by weaponizing the very cognitive and emotional makeup that makes us tick.

The Problem-Reaction-Solution theorem can be pared down into a Trauma-Reprieve cycle of abuse, wherein the only ‘reward’ the puppeteers have offered to humanity for the endless doom loop they’ve coded into us being the temporary end—more like the transformation—of said trauma in the first place. Put another way, the Deep State has used mass psychological blackmail in order to guide society toward their desired ends.

Standing opposed to that paradigm is the Trauma-Catharsis equation, which is the patriots’ answer to the endless doom loop. Where a temporary reprieve from trauma only brings about a temporary relief, while maintaining a shivering and pervading sense of tension and anxiety that has continued to make American society more reactive—and therefore, more steerable—with each passing generation, inverting Trauma with Catharsis involves utilizing the truth to set the Collective Mind of American society free.

In order to absorb the core truths that can represent such a Catharsis, however, we—patriots—must first seize the attention of the Collective Mind, and do so while fighting through an engineered, fermented Fifth-Gen fog that has been laid over the cognitive battlefield for years.

Everyone reading these words, from three to four different American generations has literally grown up in an Informational Matrix designed, implemented or at the very least, infiltrated by a Globalist Cabal of Satanic Elites, Pedophiles and those who would defend them. That’s the truth, and that’s the magnitude and gravity of what must be portrayed to the American people.

Firebrands like Matt Gaetz may see every narrative problem like a nail that needs America First hammering, but more so than his individual deployments, some of which come off as heavy-handed or even antithetical to those of us paying attention to the nuances of the RICO criminal case that we believe is being or already has been put together behind the scenes, the emotional and psychological temperature of these deployments is his key contribution to his particular theater of the Mind War, and those fighting alongside him, and SEEN doing so.

And make no mistake, not all patriots are running the same Ops, even if they’re meant to complement one another. For example, Donald Trump himself has been directly and earnestly endorsing the statements and testimony of Durham even while his chosen representatives in congress put him on the MAGA wrack and stretch him like he’s been caught affecting an escape from Mordor.

Consider these parallel narrative tracks as grooves carved into the basalt of the Collective American mind, each attempting and succeeding in redirecting the once-chaotic and rapid, now slowing and more directed flow of the that splintered mind into trenches, rivulets and steady streams that slow, curve and double back in on themselves until they continue inexorably down into the ocean most of them can’t yet see or even imagine on the horizon, but which they have been promised by Trump himself, herald of The Storm.

These rivulets will merge into rivers, which will form temporary lakes of thought and paradigm formation within the Collective Mind; we see many of these within our own movement, which, though splintered at times do to clashing readings of ongoing Narrative and Actual Events, are ultimately bound together in common cause, belief and service to the America First agenda that should have stood as our birthright, but which we’ll have to make due as our destiny.

One we’re helping to bring about.

These lakes and rivers are okay to swim in for the time being. It’s okay to argue about the Net Effects of Gaetz’ words, Durham’s Report, Trump’s Truths and Ron DeSantis’ intentions, but it is only by zooming out and attempting to formulate a movable theory in the Macro that one might start to see the entire landscape coalesce, the battlefield rendered clear, and the hints of what lay over the smoke-laden horizon pique the interest of the mind’s eye.

All of that is much easier said than done, and I’ll be the first to admit it.

This being a war for the Mind on both a Micro and Macro scale means that each of us are going to get swept up into currents that deposit us temporarily into ponds we never intended to visit, shallows and shoals we never intended to map, and rapids we never thought we’d be able to traverse—and I’m just talking about the patriots’ lines, never mind those put forward by our ideological and literal opposition in order to drag us into the murky depths of engineered doom and despair so that our own minds might act as the Biblical millstone we’ve been tricked into tying around our own necks as we sink in the deep.

And yet, in such a psychological storm, we need to seek out the signal amidst the noise, and while he plays his own Narrative games with frequency and to great effect, as documented extensively in ‘The Master’ series, Donald Trump himself is often the one I look to in order to establish said signal.

In the current storm, that signal is running two major deployments that only seem contradictory on the surface: highlighting the two-tier justice system in the United States, and highlighting the permanent ground that has now been taken in both the Actual (legal) and cognitive battlefield in the aftermath of the Durham Report and testimony, and which sets the stage beautifully for the battles to come.

To wit:

In a storm, the wind howls and stings and the rain lashes and pelts. It’s the lightning strikes that frame the whole, and bring the real out of the chaos of the unreal.

And just like the thunder that rumbles seeming ages after the lightning has come and gone, so do I believe the great battle for our time has largely already been fought.

What we’re watching now is the echoes of that great clash—the memory of it—so that we might remember the path that brought us here, out of darkness and into light, and so that we might step into the light of the new American dawn having earned the right to do so, and bearing the perspective, the stillness of heart and the presence of mind to keep the darkness at bay for generations hence.

Tension is at the heart of the Mind War. Psychological tension that can cloud thoughts and obfuscate reason, hinder progression and engender paralysis. And yet, tension is also what makes for the best stories, what grabs the most attention, and what focuses the Collective Mind’s Eye on the battles that must be fought to underline the problems that must be solved, even if some of these battles are waged between players occupying the same side on the game board.

Attempting to map the truth of Narrative Deployments, discerning the Actual within the Micro are traits this community of directed minds excels at, but only if we refuse to succumb to the engineered tension that defines Fifth-Generation Warfare, so that we might keep our heads when all about us lose their own, so that their fractured minds and systems of thought might be reordered and reformed, and brought into a conscious and sovereign future alongside us.

Thus, when confronted with conflict on the national stage, and brewing on the world stage, which we’ll discuss in greater detail in next week’s feature, I would again appeal to the ‘Mind Killer’ doctrine, which posits that the best approach to dealing with psychological tension—fear, for lack of a better word—is not to ignore it, but to recognize it for what it is, observe its path, and see where it might be attempting to lead you, and those who follow.

This community has been invaluable when it comes to the active participation in the biggest mass disclosure and exposure operation in American history, and yet, we haven’t yet been called for in earnest as I believe we will be when the ‘Darkest Path’ is revealed to the American people en masse.

The pieces are moving into place for the final push that could seem like an era unto itself, and when that time comes, we will be needed in a way we can scarcely imagine.

Observe the story. Watch the story play out. Affect it if you can, but never succumb to it.

We are the frame and the support.

It’s time to start acting like it.

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