The Invisible Enemy

The War on War Itself

So, how do we sum up the events of the last few weeks in an uncommonly—for me—succinct manner, before getting to the fun stuff?

Simply put, I believe Donald Trump effectively disarmed an Actual War by waging a masterful Narrative War in the midst of the enemy matrix.

How did he do this?

In resetting the Iranian Nuclear Paradigm, he deprived the Invisible Enemy of their story.

And without a story, you have no mandate, as I’ve been arguing in these digital pages since I founded this publication.

In other words, Trump’s victory lap is well-earned … Nobel trolling included.

If you’ve read my rare blitz of Bright Briefs over the last few days, and if you found any points of agreement within the—admittedly quite strange—way I view the Info War and the Shadow War married, you’ll not be shocked to see that the latest war has quickly shifted from a maybe real, maybe fake denuclearization one to an utterly surreal retroactive narrative war in which Trump and the regime are warring over whether or not the war was real or fake—even going so far as to hold Pentagon pressers wherein the current Sec Def is fighting a ‘highly detailed’ narrative war in order to defend choices made in an Actual one nobody can confirm, but that those addicted to parsing details of the stories they are told will get a lot out of.

All of this helps to further cement the ‘seeming reality’ or verisimilitude of the story being told, which is absolutely paramount to engendering the sort of mass belief (ie: reality codification) the War of Stories is all about.

Now, while I personally fall into the former camp—those who believe the ‘war’ events we’re being told about out of Iran are either entirely narrative or augmented actuals being morphed through the hall of mirrors that defines fifth-generation warfare—there can be little doubt that the regime’s intent in aligning with that same path is in cultivating public mandate for the false premise of Iran’s designs on nuclear domination that provided shielding for Israel’s war in the first place.

In other words, if the people believe the conditions for an end to the war have been met, then they de facto believe the conditions for peace have been codified … woe be unto any who might upset the new paradigm.

So, essentially, the enemy matrix is now trapped in the highly unenviable position—for them—of speaking what they believe to be the truth … that being, that they don’t believe the story they’re being told to sell.

Trump has set the new paradigm, which means he’s placed the enemy apparatus into quite the pincer, as he’s wont to do.

Either they accept the peaceful path … or they choose the other thing.

Which brings us to the theme of this particular writing.

How do you catch an invisible enemy?

Well, first, you have to be able to see them.

Trump can certainly see them, and many in this audience believe they can. But how many on the alt. media layers can? How many who think themselves informed are being led along and astray still, accounting for human bias without considering the underlying aims of the narrative being presented as a purported actual?

In other words, how many have accepted that the Media Industrial Complex lies as a matter of course and yet, still defers to them when it comes to setting the very premise—the very actual—from which the ensuing political, cultural or, in this case, even the existential arguments to follow?

These arguments have consequences. Arguments Trump is ending by utterly and summarily demonstrating why there wasn’t a hint of hyperbole in his long-ago designation of the Fake News Media as the enemy of the people.

---

---

And why is this hyperbole earned in this particular scenario, perhaps more so than in any other before it, from election denial to Covid-19? (Okay, so maybe that one was REAL bad, but you get the point.)

Because, as I have been arguing for weeks, if the enemy’s narrative prevailed—true or not—then the end result was the very actualization of the war Trump just displayed a masterclass in dispelling before the eyes—and more importantly, the minds—of the watching world.

Unless, of course you believe this particular piece of promulgated propaganda had anything else in mind?

---

---

It’s as illuminating a headline to the still slowly-waking normie layers of the Collective Mind as Trump’s almost-immediate response.

---

---

“Caught.”

Interesting word, no?

In sum, I believe Trump has stretched the bounds of his usual media sparring following this particular chapter in the War of Stories, and I believe it’s because he’s cultivated the very slowly, and then all at once public mandate necessary to do so.

I explained this narrative ‘war posture’ in greater detail with my friends

Jon Herold

and

the other night.

In short order, as the mass psychological dust clears, it appears Trump has firmly seized control of the narrative, which is to say, the conclusion on the back of events that, whether real, fake or very likely some clandestine and ghostly mix of the two, we’ll never be able to confirm or deny to our own satisfaction.

Thus, on the back of Iran lending credence to Trump’s chosen story, Trump announcing that Israel had capitulated to the narrative need not have been true—until they did a short while later—to lock them in the pincer of that narrative’s net effects, which means, in a true masterstroke, it seems Trump has saddled both Israel and Iran with mass psychological shackles preventing escalation … rather, the mandate for said escalation, which was already lacking. And he did so by taking a page out of his ongoing war with Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve, and using their own frameworks against them, unless you think he’s a huge fan of the Atomic Energy Commission of Israel, and other such institutions.

So, amidst face-saving by both sides, who each claim victory, they have lost the story, which means they have lost the war … literally, by losing the ability to have one.

Personally, I think the Iranian regime has been brought to heel, and Iran liberated in the context of the Sovereign Alliance some time ago, and this is supported by their repeated deal making with both Russia and China, the two other pillars of the New Axis, but who actually represent 2/3 of the core trinity of the Sovereign Alliance, as I have theorized for years.

That said, I fully understand not all are comfortable with this particular framing, and Trump himself is certainly continuing to play up hostilities—in between repeated signals about his hopes to bring Iran to the table for renewed peace talks, of course.

Personally, I believe the Iran redemption tour might be translated to the normie layers of the Collective mind as a civilian uprising … a revolution not unlike the engineered and corrupted Arab Spring from the Obama era, albeit for real this time, even if told to us on a substantial delay.

Yes, just as I believe the deals are already done, I also believe the revolutions are … and that they will not be televised. At least, not live, which doesn’t mean you aren’t being primed to see ghosts and apparitions masquerading as approximations of said revolution in the coming months, now that the ground has been seeded by Trump for the sort of narrative turn he needs to publicly codify the aforementioned ‘done deals’ with Iran et al.

Either way, this supposition only leaves the Israel problem … and there, I tend to agree with

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

’s take that Trump’s not just engaging in a war of narratives, but launched a narrative preemptive strike on very real planned Actuals by Israel, who now have a choice to make I’ve been referencing in my last several writings: a grudging peace with no obvious on ramp to the war they have long desired—and that Trump will further bury with an upcoming deal already being teased with Iran, one he is delaying ostensibly to give the ‘evil twin’ faction (h/t

Chris Paul

) of Israel enough rope to hang themselves—or a bold faced acceleration into a war that will leave them on an island like they never have been before, having lost the support not just of the very Military Industrial Complex some believe they have long wielded disproportionate influence over—especially during the Bush era—but also of their globalist masters and protectors in Brussels.

And this dynamic MIGHT go a long way toward explaining the seeming contradiction inherent in Trump ‘exposing’ Israeli war hawks while all but prostrating himself at the feet of Bibi Netanyahu in recent days with some of the most gushing ‘praise’ he’s ever heaped upon anyone.

To wit, Trump’s borderline extreme endorsement and defense of Netanyahu has many a head spinning in the kaleidoscopic chaos of the Info War, but, despite warmongering theories many hold, and that I certainly consider, when is a contradiction not a contradiction? Does Trump hold control over the Actuals on the global battlespace … or on the players?

Then, is it the good guys trying to oust Bibi to take control of Israel, or is it the bad ones?

Does the Deep State still have a few cards to play, and have they figured out that Netanyahu has been playing a very different game in recent months and years—and perhaps longer, as

Chris Paul

flirts with—much like the former controllers of the ghost of Joe Biden found themselves first perturbed, later disturbed and finally enraged at the prospect of learning that Our Boy Blue had not been theirs for some time?

‘Strings cut,’ one of the most oft-cited refrains from the infamous Q Drops has many possible applications, as does the repeated refrain that ‘not all will be clean,’ or, perhaps in your personal estimation, moral, even if effective.

In short, you don’t have to like Our Boy Blue to recognize his net effects on the War of Stories.

Apply the same to Bibi, and his seeming ‘turn’ away from the Greater Israel project and toward an elusive peace in the region his policy has largely come to define takes on new shading.

This is where questions and theories regarding patriot control get interesting to some, and maddening to others, but then, isn’t it logical that, if you’re going to tear the system down, you’re going to do so using its own stalwarts?

Are we witnessing silent running transition to activation in temporal and actual layers all over the game board?

From Biden to Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Gavin Newsom and on and on, I’ve always said it’s the wolves in the house you need fear, not the ones in the hills.

That goes both ways.

This particular line of thought takes on added significance in the context of Trump getting the direct narrative concession from Netanyahu about Iran’s nuclear capabilities having been ‘obliterated,’ along with, again, his own previous claim to the war path. Now, it’s possible Netanyahu has been a man of peace all along … and it’s also possible he is one of many shadows on the wall, now effecting his own animated dance to someone else’s tune.

It's also possible that the initial reading of the narrative shackles Trump applied to both Israel and Iran is being carried through here, in that, by aligning himself so strongly with Netanyahu, Trump has bound him up that much tighter in their now-shared narrative of the war’s ending. Keep in mind, Trump’s gushing in recent days is entirely premised on Netanyahu having helped him to set the battlespace in the Middle East as it currently stands, which means that any attempt to UNDO such progress will be seen by Trump, optically, as a stark betrayal, and allow him the narrative shielding required to effect another of his many turns on a central character, should he need to.

Additionally, if Netanyahu is under more direct control, Trump can simultaneously be trolling him while also earnestly defending him, caught up as he is in his own personal witch hunt in the Israeli legal system, all the better to keep the enemy he knows far closer than the grasping alternative.

Now, back to strings, which means back to Brussels, who else did Trump bring to heel in full view of the public mind in recent days, and with a smile almost as wide as the one he’s been sharing with the aforementioned Netanyahu?

NATO, a collectivist collectorate who, depending on how closely you’ve followed the war beneath the war (or perhaps above it,) are the true power bloc behind Israel, Ukraine and all of the proxies that make them up, and yes, that often combat them.

And he did so in what was absolutely, unabashedly and very publicly a humiliation ritual.

Unless you thought secretary general Mark Rutte referring to him as “daddy” was entirely organic.

---

---

I will say, Marco Rubio’s reaction almost has me convinced this was simply the simulation throwing patriots a glorious—and gloriously memetic—curve ball.

---

---

So, while incredible news of massive defense spending increase was drowned out in the pure memetic lunacy on display, which represented yet another full circle Hegelian moment wherein Trump’s Term 1 Problems and Promises are being Solved in Term 3, more so, it was the timing of Trump’s visit I found most compelling and most encouraging, as it was in the direct aftermath of the very nuclear narrative disarmament I’ve been writing about for the last week.

Trump walked into the false lion’s den as a lion himself, and so, rendered it into a mewling, yipping and ultimately prostrating den of jackals and hyenas.

Yes, there was signal inherent in Zelenskyy and the Ukrainians directly conflating themselves with the plight of Israel in the prelude to the summit, just as there was in Vladimir Putin calling Israel, “almost a Russian-speaking country” in recent remarks, while following it up with the more cryptic, “We already have combat operations going on against those who we consider opponents of the ideas we defend and who pose a threat to the Russian Federation,” in the context of the Israel-Iran crisis.

But then, we’ll get to that particularly juicy sub-plot in a future writing.

Herein, the central theme this audience has been aware of for some time is now being translated to the Collective Mind one deployment at a time: that the invisible enemy comes in many forms and wears many masks, but that we know their true face, because their true face is their true ends … war.

NATO may be most synonymous with the Globalist Collectorate we stand opposed to, then, but they’re far from the only ones.

All over the game board and in every battlespace, the Deep State is a system in free fall, one built on those who seed wars and those who harvest them.

And these conflict seeders include US intel, which is why Trump didn’t spare the pentagon or said Intel from his narrative victory campaign. And yet, foreign intel is still very much in the game—it’s the same team, after all—with the aftershocks of last week’s War of Stories still playing out in the halls of MI6, and, I presume Mossad, among others.

All the same enemy. All the same story.

In fact, some made sure to conflate both Israel and the CIA as one in the same, at least, when it comes to their simultaneous capitulation to the new central narrative, a much more difficult paradigm from which to germinate war. And the fact that the latter’s capitulation came from John Ratcliffe is added signal all its own, due to his theorized role in the US devolution operation—forwarded and exhaustively researched by

Jon Herold

—and the overall counter-insurgency plan to save the nation and the world from the exact sort of scenario’s Trump’s Gambit did this past week, and likely will again—to much more BOMBastic attention—in the months ahead, I assume.

One wonders if the previous heads of the agency would have done the same.

Clean houses, and all that.

What we’re watching, then, on the macro is a sort of mass and massive disarmament all around, and on multiple layers not just of the Info War, but of reality itself. Some of this disarmament is likely actual, whether or not that takes the form of literal denuclearization or just the curtailing and neutering of kinetic power projection capabilities by Deep State terror (*cough* intel) cells around the world, but the key to the current battlespace is mass psychological, which has always been the truest battlespace, as I’ve been arguing in earnest since launching this publication.

And yet, there ARE warriors competing on the true battlespace that is the Shadow War, some in kinetic operations, many in clandestine, and many more in the narrative, which is no less daunting in terms of its macro implications. These are the Ghosts in the Machine we’ve been tracking like wisps on the wind for the better part of a decade … Ghosts whom we owe a great debt, and whose names we’ll likely never have codified in anything but a narrative translation of their truest and greatest deeds.

Which is why it is my belief that Trump is making sure to thank them, in his own way.

Again, the wars are real, but the wars are stories.

A wise and also fictional man once said while quoting a wise and not fictional song, “I ain’t afraid of no ghost.”

Well, when you dig deep enough in the winding ways of the Info War, the Shadow War and the War of Stories that binds the two together, you can say that line free and full, because you know that ghosts are real.

And that they’re on our side.

Every so often, it’s just fun to try to catch them.

Until we do and until my next writing, I implore you to stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.

Note From the Author …

As we prepare leave this one to gather digital dust—and the occasional freshly-awakened node in the emergent matrix we’re both joining and becoming—it’s worth ruminating on which stories are silently running, and have been the whole time, but that don’t seem to be getting quite as much attention in the central narrative.

What are Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve up to, and why is Trump having so much fun with them?

What’s going on with Trump’s Trade War with China?

And when does a Great Reset become merely a really, really Good one?

We’ve been exploring those questions and MUCH more to come in the recently-began Acceleratia series, which I was admittedly distracted from over the course of the last week and change spent chasing ghosts in Tehran … or was it Kyiv?

Ah, who remembers?

Either way, this one isn’t meant to focus so much on the here and now of the Info War, but more to use the major macro narratives of 2025 as jumping off points for a macro discussion in the form of a cognitive journey applying everything we’ve learned up until now to the past, present and future of the awakening.
