Riding high on the biggest mass psychological inflection point of the Info War thus far allows us to leave aside readings of the election system and the truth or underlying falsity that defines it because the public mandate has always been the key, and now the cat’s out of the bag.
The matrix has broken for a larger plurality of the American people operating on the normie, least awakened layers of the Info War than ever before, priming the pump for the wars … and the many, many wins to come.
Yes … the war itself is not over; it’s simply entered a new phase, and it’s going to get even rockier from here … mark my words.
Unless, of course, you thought we had already crossed over the precipice?
And just like a good movie needs good actors, an Info War needs digital soldiers … and we’re seeing some of both converge on the game board in the most memetic manner possible, which signals a phase shift rather than an ending.
And the enemy knows this, which is why their panic pattern has been as paradoxically consistent as it has been chaotic, as they attempt to chart a path through the waters of a storm we were called to embrace rather than to avoid.
To wit, negative indicators abound in the Info War, and boy have the twin DOGE and Trump 2.0 deployments accelerated this panic pattern for all to see.
From Hegseth to Homan, Elon to the entire concept of government efficiency itself, it's not just the media industrial complex reacting with unbridled fear, but the administrative state, up to and including the military industrial complex.
The events of the last few weeks should have firmly laid to rest any doubt that what we're looking at during the advent of Trump 2.0 is a narrative translation layer of the Great Awakening and the transition to the Golden Age under the guise of a series of organic convergences.
For starters, when you've got a de facto MAGAvengers walking out to the modern day colosseum with Donald Trump (including Elon Musk, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy,) you're seeing the culmination of a public narrative arc, wherein several mass psychological pincers have closed around the central narrative.
And while these MAGAvengers are the narrative layer leaders for a reason, the team is much more expansive, and some of the brightest bits of bicameral and temporal signal connecting our stolen past to our promised future have come from some surprising places of late.
To wit, isn’t it interesting that arguably the biggest power player of all that accompanied Trump and his MAGAvengers in NYC flew quite under the radar, and has Sovereign Alliance written all over him?
But then, surely you haven’t forgotten the Saudi Sword dance …
You don’t have to know how all of the pieces fit together to see them orbiting the story.
Which is why my favorite appointment thus far is one I’ve seen the least number of people talking about.
As I said several weeks ago after watching an insightful interview with then-transition team leader Howard Lutnick …
I did NOT expect this financial sit-down to be as full of signal as it was, but what really shocked me was how emotional it gets when he discusses his experience on 9/11.
There's a LOT sitting below the surface, here, and I think it suggests that now more than ever before, Donald Trump not only knows exactly who he needs in key positions entering the second (public) Admin ... but that he always did.
Amidst talk that ranges from power projection and common sense trade deals to replacing income taxes, Lutnick's anecdotes about the sheer damage (both Actual & Mass Psychological) America suffered in 2001 paint the picture of a power player who understands exactly what was lost ... or what was taken.
Of course, just as many in the Truth Community point to Trump's infamous public skepticism over the story of 9/11 as we're told it, the Trump 2.0 Revenge Tour takes on added meaning, as does the fact that Lutnick is among the finalists for Trump’s Treasury Secretary, according to reports.
Everyone loves a comeback.
While I had been prepared to dig into any of Trump's picks, and have seen the wisdom in some curious ones with the benefit of hindsight, I must admit I was absolutely hoping for Lutnick to be named to a position in the second admin.
As I said a few weeks ago after digging on the man, he's not only a New York firebrand in the vein of Trump himself, but he's a heterodox thinker with a penchant for going AT the establishment rather than WITH them.
Most importantly, and as mentioned above, he has one of the most harrowing and heartbreaking stories of 9/11 I've ever heard, having lost literally hundreds of employees during the false flag attack; to me, this acts as major signal as to his underlying motivations for graduating from the private sector to the public one in a new phase of the war against the administrative Deep State.
To wit, I believe the real SIGNAL of Lutnick’s position in the admin mirrors that of Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s, and that is hints as to truths long-buried that have the potential to create shatterpoints within the Collective American Mind until now believed to be impossible.
Lutnick’s 9/11 story, which, while powerful on its face, takes on added context for this community, given Trump’s infamous skepticism and covered rage at the time, and, I would expect, ever since.
As such, Lutnick’s tearful rage and pain from that day recalls something many of us have felt—not at nameless terrorists in the Middle East who acted as cyphers and catalysts for a war that had been foretold by those who would profit most from it … but rather rage at those with bright, bold, entirely false names in the west.
Those who brought the towers down.
Lutnick followed this appearance up with a sit-down at CNN, went into the den of vipers and called vaccines poison to their faces, echoing infamous Trump tweets circa 2012.
Finally, Lutnick is one of the first major Bitcoin maximalists of the Wall Street class, paving the way for massive disruption en route to the Golden Age.
Signal comes in many forms.
As I’ve said MANY times in these digital pages, convergence is not coincidence, and coordination often signals control. You don’t have to see where the strings lead to know they’re there.
So, Lutnick is not going to be Treasury Secretary, but he IS going to be Commerce Secretary, which means he’s going to be Trump’s representative when it comes to both the Big Dogs of the Sovereign Alliance … and the fading vampiric aristoclass in Brussels.
How do you think THAT’S going to go for them?
So then, even accepting that this nomination could ALSO be a rug in an endless cascade of them, that’s quite beside the point.
Why was Lutnick not on the first two campaigns, then? Why now?
As Donald Trump once said, “I didn’t need to do this. I had a beautiful life.”
Many such cases, I expect. Unless you think many of the richest and most powerful men in the world are joining Trump 2.0 for the money.
No. Not likely.
A new era of American Greatness will only arrive on the back of an American Reckoning. I believe that Trump will see it done, and he’s brought friends along with him to make it so.
Say, did I mention this sit-down with Lutnick was followed up by one with Erik Prince?
Probably nothing.
Don’t even get me started on the human instance of Narrative Whiplash we have in the offing, as the author of the Great Barrington Declaration has been named head of the NIH.
From where I’m sitting, this one flies straight past cognitive cypher territory and lands right on ‘human narrative deployment.’
And that’s not a bad thing.
From the WWE Queen, Linda McMahon heading the Department of Education—presumably to crash down atop it from the top rope with a steel chair—to anti Big Tech, Big Media crusader Brendan Carr being tapped to effect a controlled demolition … err, I mean, responsible governance of the FCC, ALL of the names floated for Trump’s cabinet have advanced highly public deployments of stripping away rather than adding to.
Talk about rug pulls.
So, as with many of these deployments, do we think they’re there to reform an agency/department … or to tear it down? Can that be done narratively before it’s done actually?
That’s what DOGE is all about, and the rugs are a feature and not a bug of garnering the mandate to do exactly that.
On and on it goes.
These figures are cognitive cyphers to awakening. Proxies for the audience to engage with the new central narrative we’re overwriting the old consensus protocol with, which is another word for paradigm.
This is why it is the furthest thing from an insult or a doom take to conflate the DOGE with falsity; quite the contrary, as, in my mind, stories act as narrative translation layers of foundational truths otherwise-occupied or sleeping minds would miss without the requisite narrative pull.
So, some might say a team is being put together; at least, the story of a team—others, however, see a long-time team coming together for the final push.
And again, what’s the push all about?
Well, on the Macro:
The common denominator between virtually all of Trump's publicly-announced department heads and cabinet appointments is a public narrative record of consistent advocacy to strip government down and maximize direct peer-to-peer engagement in problem-solving, whether that's in the form of border security, national security, national health or finance.
And if you think the ultimate encapsulation of first principles, decentralized technology surging to all time highs while the story plays out is a coincidence, perhaps you haven’t allowed yourself to become retarded enough on the road to awakening.
(I can help you with that, if you want to dip your toes into the ‘Weapons of the Future’ series, which begins with ‘The Bridge.’)
The Bridge
This feature represents the first in what I call the ‘Weapons of the Future’ series, and continues with ‘The Switch,’ and ‘Amerigeddon.’
These "departments" and agencies are meant to be codifications of first principles logos that NEVER should have been outsourced to authority in the first place.
While the Department of Government Efficiency is one of the most encouraging announcements in modern American history, its memetic origins and the bombast of its leadership has 'story' written all over it.
And one of the leaders of DOGE even branded Matt Gaetz as a fictional analogue, laying the Judge Dredd cypher over him for easy reading by the normie hivemind in keeping with the paint by numbers approach the War of Stories has adopted as mass unification nears.
This annointing by Musk and Kennedy Jr. of Gaetz as a hammer to be wielded by Trump against his political enemies set us up nicely for the mass whiplash of the System of Systems to the announcement, and provides a hint as to the true depths of patriot control, even if we can’t see all ends from the outset.
The fact that the pressure campaign seemingly worked to block Gaetz is even more entertaining to those of us engaging with the Info War as a War of Stories, and has us pouring over every possible game theory reading of the game board, from the Scaramucci model popularized by the Q Drops to a more extreme reading of the current cascade of deployments as another in a long line of narrative translation layers meant to show the American people that the machine will fight on in an attempt to reject public mandate without wholescale reform.
After all, NONE of these appointments, even some I’ll focus on in upcoming writings, are confirmed until they are … and that means the rugs will continue until awakening accelerates.
Which is far from a bad thing.
These appointments still represent narrative deployments—now more than ever, and so, leaving Actuals to the side allows us to better engage with the First Principles on display, which I believe is the underlying signal Trump is selling.
As for what the major lessons of the nominations and subsequent (and perhaps continued) rug pulls are meant to codify?
How about the fact that the entrenched beaurocracy of the Deep State isn’t going down without a fight, and is all too eager to deprive the American people of their supposedly duly-elected mandate before it even gets out of the starting blocks?
As Elon himself has said, the most entertaining outcomes tend to be the most likely.
We're seeing the public translation of one of the greatest stories ever told to all layers of the American Mind. After all, it was Donald Trump who told you that he, Matt Gaetz and Mike Johnson had a “secret,” and I highly doubt it didn’t include this.
Additionally, there are some very interesting rabbit holes worth taking where it concerns the allegations against Gaetz, and the potential involvement of both US and Israeli intel in stitching both the Actuals and Narratives together.
IF any of this information is true, it could suggest Gaetz is also being used to disclose the other side of Deep State control, as in, how they successfully tie strings to up-and-coming politicians … strings that have been cut in service of patriot plans.
Alas, is there something Macro we can take away from the Gaetz rug pull, if the Micro is admittedly too complex and too reliant on as-yet unknowns for us to gain confidence traversing?
How about the fact that the very idea of Gaetz ascending to the top of the DOJ caused the most robust and violent panic pattern within the Uniparty establishment he went to narrative war with for the entirety of the Devo term? Is it merely because they believe Gaetz to be a man of justice … or is it perhaps because they often conflate that term with its cousin vengeance?
The beast may have (seemingly) fended off this challenger for now … but the beast blinked, and the American people saw it.
So … do we really think that’s going to work out for them, or is Gaetz’ replacement going to be the boogeyman the Deep State has feared all along?
What’s more, if all the back-and-forth of the Gaetz charade drew enemy fire while obscuring patriot moves, all the better. But then, you didn’t lose sight of Senate seats in all the noise of the week that was, did you?
From where I’m sitting, if Pam Bondi is the final boss … it’s for a reason, though I’m not certain ANY of these names or positions have fully settled yet, and that thought should fill you with as much anticipation as it fills them with dread uncertainty.
In other words, as unwieldy as we might find our minds in the kaleidoscopic macro of late … how do you think they feel?
In the end, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of our favorite MAGA court jester, and I think the secret will stay between he and Trump … but the choice to guess is certainly ours.
Speaking of MAGA names … Anyone seen Kash Patel lately?
Either way, the real signal of these appointments—fake, real and everything in between—is a coming or already-underway anti-corruption purge in the US, is it not?
Well, the first step to believing the anti-corruption purge will work in the US is knowing it has elsewhere.
And oh yes, my friends, it HAS worked elsewhere …
To wit, when I say 'The Plan' didn't have to originate with Donald Trump, it's not meant to be a slight.
It is, rather an attempt to get Anons to consider the high likelihood that the plan hasn't just been in the works for decades, but is much further along in other places, contrary to what American solipsists believe.
Vladimir Putin crashed onto the scene in the 1990s, waging a massive anti-corruption campaign in Russia that resulted in the ouster of thousands of Soviet oligarchs seeking to profit off the fall of the Soviet Union. These men became the de facto leaders of Ukraine.
In China, Xi Jinping led an anti-corruption campaign he called, 'Tigers and Flies,' which resulted in the prosecution of 2.3 million government officials in both high-ranking and civil servant positions. THAT'S how you DOGE.
Putin and Xi were able to accomplish this because they had the public mandate, because their peoples were well past the precipice.
Trump has the mandate. But are we truly at the precipice?
In any event, the War of Stories marches on ...
From DOGE to Trump 2.0, WW3 mongering to the rise of the Peacemakers, what we're watching is a series of translation layers of foundational truths that have been hidden from the American people for generations, unless you sought them out.
Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin and everyone in between, whether Actually in positions of power or entirely narrative, are cognitive cyphers acting as signal for the awakening minds of a global population of engineered sleeper slaves.
When you understand this, you're not only able to remove yourself from the emotional and psychological tension inherent in the sifting process, but you're also able to direct more sober analysis of the story as it passes from one plot point to another, charting pathways that are second hat to those who've studied narrative structure and storytelling.
From where I'm sitting, the story of the Great Awakening, which has largely but not entirely been translated through the story of Donald Trump has been following something close to the Fichtean Curve plot structure.
As such, it's impossible to guess which peak along the chart we're currently approaching—and yes, I would argue it IS possible to rise higher than the ‘peak’ represented by July 13—but the mass psychological reckoning with the SEEMING inevitability of WW3 has always topped the prediction charts to me, ever since references to "necessary" scare events popped up in the infamous Q Drops.
(I wrote about this refrain, this mass psychological cypher to awakening, in one of my most popular features, which might be worth revisiting as the Cuban … err, the Ukrainian Missile Crisis storyline gets going in earnest.)
Scare Event
(As with many Macro concepts I explore at Burning Bright, this one is best read with Bicameral Thinking applied.)
Taken with this framing in mind, one might begin to see the strange paradox at the heart of many an Anon mind, as we simultaneously exult in the ratcheting tension while recognizing it as theater.
And yet, that doesn't mean we should breed complacency within our ranks, as the future we want to build can't be given, but must be taken.
THIS is why Trump has been talking about "mandate" so much lately. It's not just a mandate in the vote, but the mandate to rebuild our world. And it can only be done by tearing the old one down.
The process doesn't have to be stressful. It can be exhilirating, and even unifying, with the right mindset.
The choice to know has always been yours.

Oh I have become exceptionally retarded. And, promisingly, our son (who turned 36 yesterday) said that at his job sites, and on his hockey teams, everybody is using the word “retarded.” Taking it back. It is a must-do in the name of the first amendment. We can stop saying retarded when Rainbow = God’s Covenant Again.
“but the beast blinked and the American people saw it” !!!!!!!!🔥🔥
