I finally understand your unique way of communicating truth through the grid of your active imagination. Nevertheless, since my particular lens is different, I couldn’t help but be prompted by an impression of other pivotal moments in world history when certain individuals entered the stage and became a fulcrum for monumental change. Especially against the unseen powers attempting to pervert the Creator’s will for mankind.

Do you remember when Trump went against conventional wisdom and threats of Middle Eastern war and angst, when moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, a bold and daring promised objective that initiated derision and literally confounded the powers and principalities that humanity struggles against?

The Israelis in particular, (and even many Christians) likened Trump to a modern day Cyrus, who like the gladiator motif you describe, had a specific assignment by the Almighty to redirect His specifically chosen vessels back to the arduous and difficult task they were commanded to perform, as the ultimate bearers of the light of truth to the nations of the planet. This preeminent goal was eventually accomplished, despite the adversary being allowed to deliberately blind many of the principal participants, while also spiritually handicapping the blessed recipients of truth, who imperfectly peer though a glass darkly continuing to misconstrue and discredit the author of the greatest story ever written and told.

Now when we fast forward to today, the similarities of a person fashioned with an assignment from the Maker to thwart the wiles of the enemies of God is recognizable given the restoration of sovereignty to the individual nations, IF and only IF that is God’s will for this moment in time. After all, He foreordained THE PLAN, and regardless of what we want and wish, the created order is at His mercy and direction.

Our responsibility is to submit to His will and be what He has created each of us to be and do with the gifts, talents, and abilities received.

Thank you for sharing your inspired insights without reservation and in the articulate and comprehensive manner you have done. May your readers perceive the message with joy unspeakable. God speed!

Thanks so much for this, Hue. Always interesting for me to see which pieces or refrains hit different minds at the right angle, like a prism.

The Story is so much larger than we know.

The Dark Knight rises. The sleepers open their glazed eyes to reality. The naked Emperor is about to die of “Exposure.” There is nowhere left to hide. “Retreat is Defeat.” 🥰 My favorite theories are increasingly actualized. I doubt I would see so much nakedness without the training from you and others in this community. Thank you.

EVENTUALLY ... I will write a Trump Trilogy using the Dark Knight Trilogy as a template, but it is not this day.

Another masterful thought journey, a pleasure to read it and a pleasure to rest with it high above the chaos clouds where the air is clean and refreshing and the view is so beautiful…the way hope and faith is beautiful…the way The Great Awakening is beautiful.

I love the movie Gladiator! And BB, you have masterfully used it as an analogy of our times. “The Colosseum that is the Collective Mind”

“Ultimately, the Gladiator isn’t on trial; the emperor is. Trump isn’t on Trial. They are.”

❤️🙏

“a cascading convergence of crescendos that will lead us as we lead ourselves into a new era of light, logic and discovery.”

“On the battlefield of the Collective Mind - morale is everything”

Every piece you have written is a morale boost! Thank You, you wonderful Thinker and writer! ❤️🙏🇺🇸🌎🕊

Upon finishing Black’s ‘The secret history of the world’ and thinking about Joseph Farrell’s oeuvre, I see BB’s perspective as embedded in a long thread / vein in esoteric traditions.

How that exactly looks like is not yet clear to me, but I sense its contours and expect that I will write a (3rd) book about it.

I have not read Johnathan Black’s (Mark Booth), The Secret History of the World, but I have had it on my kindle for awhile…at over 700 pages I haven’t, so far, been moved to tackle it yet…and for other reasons, having to do with my own spiritual journey and whether Black’s report on the ancient secret mystery schools would enhance my own progress. I am interested in mysticism but not magic. Miracles vs magic.

Did it benefit you to explore these “secret teachings” in the context of understanding our “history” today? Science vs Spirituality. The material world is an illusion in my belief…and Spirit is needed to navigate it in order to escape it’s net of scientific “fact”. I have long believed that Jesus would have been very familiar with at least some of these mystery teachings and His true teachings - Atonement through forgiveness, and ultimately forgiveness of self) offered a path (Mind and Spirit over matter, over the illusion, the dream world) of transcending this world.

I am not familiar with Joseph Farrell.

it reaffirmed my basic outlook as materialism belonging to a set up to fail constructs

as in ingredient of the Earthly drama phase we're now at the crescendo cum final stage in

situating this stage by the many angles offered in the book, increases my ability to discern naturally, simple, elegantly makes me smile

when the dust has settled, a conversation between BB & https://gizadeathstar.com/purchase/ is on the top of my intellectual wish list

these 2 can be of great help constructing / being part of the Egrogore humanity needs to find intellectual anchors that propel all towards greater circles of understanding, enjoyment and compassion (including the notion that we know nothing)

Nice comment. Thank you Emil!

One of Q’s last posts included the word Ascension…

I took it to mean a higher baseline of consciousness for all, a higher frequency lifting up everyone 🙏❤️

the idea that the Q op is the visible part of a spiritual intervention of sorts in the spiritual journey of life reminds me of https://archive.org/details/integralpsycholo00wilb/mode/2up and https://archive.org/details/wllber-on-seeking-enlightenment_202006

as I concluded in 2015 in https://archive.org/details/on-elephants-in-the-room: only when the truthers become spiritually oriented and vv, we will liberate ourselves and all of life

as you indicate, Q does that (which I concluded in 2023 in https://archive.org/details/51_20230321)

The peace of the Holy Spirit is a mystery in itself. I am amazed every day by it. As truths are revealed to us, we have more and more of the freedom of God’s peace, and I believe it is a gift. Each of us can be a conduit for this. My friends who participate are kindled by it. We keep each other high and lifted up where the Father wants us. Thanks be to God and to each other.

Lovely❤️

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are freely available to everyone but the choice is ours and vigilance is required to use our free will to see Peace and to accept Peace.

Thanks BB.

This year has been amazing and we are only just beginning the month of June, I mean May...

I was elated when Trump won back in 2016 and then seemed to enter a constant state of doubt. The DS Rat Bastard MSM really fired up and they have been nonstop ever since. Bashing Trump at every turn and in every conceivable, evil way possible. While my Awakening really didn't start until the second half of 2020 the doubt continued until the Devolution Series framed things in a way that really resonated with me. Since that through more prayer and bright minds like yours I have grown to be comfyAF.

Keep it coming. I love your articles as well as the insight you provide through the various Badlands Media shows.

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

It truly is amazing when you settle in and watch the movie unfold. I see us as active observers. We can both absorb and interact with the story. Perhaps even change it or affect it.

I love your comment Joe K…

But I did chuckle when I read:

“only just beginning the month of June”…While I often am shocked when 3 hrs pass that felt like minutes…I’ve never skipped ahead a month. I’m sure you meant May. Earlier today, I would have guessed it was 9:30…I look at the clock and it’s just past noon! I hope I haven’t missed a month 😊❤️🙏🇺🇸

Really good BB !!! The depleted bench analogy struck me....So 'they' trotted out the last player not 100% depleted? Or did 'they'? This narrative warfare makes us pause and wonder, and view Jon and JH and your opinions as ....first a real possibility....to a real probability...to now , in my mind a certainty!!!

Great Article BB! I loved the line " The emperor doesn’t fear the man in the arena. He fears those cheering for him." You are right they don't fear Trump as much as they fear us. We are their biggest threat. Trump is our symbol that represents us and he inspires us all to fight for ourselves and to remember our strength. We have a lot more power than we realize. I look forward to brighter days ahead. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this article. It's always appreciated.😊❤️

Thanks a lot, Alicia. We've always been the ones they fear. It just takes cognitive cyphers/characters for us to seem to learn that and apply it to our micro and macro psyches.

Thank you once again BB for your insights. It is easy to see how your background has equipped you to both anticipate the opponent's next move AND his next moves based on your next moves, after his next move...- a physical chess match - seeing both the dangers and benefits of close contact, while also weighing the implications of "staying out of harm's reach".

"...Trump and patriot ghosts in the machine seem to wield either direct or indirect control of its decisions and indecisions—either through direct leverage or, perhaps more likely, through the core tenets of Game Theory, with the enemy increasingly funneled into a series of mass psychological kill boxes that run the gamut..."

The snippet above - from the rich field of colorful and aromatic snippets - resonates well with my own experience. Before I became a "Bright" fan, I happened across a book, while on a serious search for principles of "scaling" that are interjected across multiple (some would suggest "universal") sciences - from mathematics to biology to urban planning and more - on Game Theory written in rebuttal to John Nash's (eventual) Nobel Award winning economic theory on choice (reductive - for sure).

In its most basic form, game theory describes a single move strategy within a game that prohibits deals and communication and that enables the "first move" owner to - at the least - determine (and reject) his worst case; though possibly to attain his best case - even if that allows the "second, single move" owner to also acquire his best case. Schelling's "The Strategy of Conflict" was written from the perspective - not of economics - but of diplomacy at the beginning of the nuclear age. What BB describes as the "kill boxes" occurs in a much, much more complicated version of a game - but that I understand it at all goes back to that book.

"Ultimately, the Gladiator isn’t on trial; the emperor is." Amen!

Thanks a lot, HGV.

It's funny. Some of the experiences in our lives that don't SEEM like they would translate to the Info War actually end up being the foundations we fall back on most often.

My background in combat sports is something I tend to use to inform my perspective on combat tactics ... even in Fifth-Generation Warfare.

Expand full comment

I think most - though not all - of us tend to undervalue the experiences we have had...maybe because we attribute the wisdom that comes from those experiences to the general population. True diversity (and no divisiveness) is something that I am learning by truly listening to what you and others have to say.

PS - that does not mean I agree...just that I listen and appreciate. ;-)

PPS - I mentioned a while back that I was publishing a book. It is an exposition on the book of Revelation. If there is a way to get you a copy, I would be honored to do so....even if that meant me using your "coffee" app to front the funds. If it is not a topic that is of interest I fully understand - it is a niche for sure. LMK

On the fire department we'd call it controlled chaos. Your perspective on the 'emperor' being on trial felt like an actual 'light bulb' going off in my head. Most of the normies I'm surrounded by cannot see this. I wanted to read a few paragraphs out loud to my wife, as to relieve some of her 'why is it taking so long?' gloom and doom emotions. The future is BRIGHT.

Thanks for the tidbit, Mike. Controlled chaos is a great way to conceptualize it. I think of the best fiction as weaving order out of the chaos of creation.

Expand full comment

Hey BB. Maybe that's why I find fiction so difficult to write (I'm a published author of non fiction). Weaving order out of the chaos of creation takes a different kind of brain power. I appreciate your understanding and your perspective, as it's allowed me to [at least] SEE the order in the chaos.

BB: I have to say that I am not a doomer, and believe that is the fact likely due (in part) to reading all of your ‘teaching’ posts….trying to catch a few podcasts, too. You made excellent point after point in this post. I’m sitting in my backyard reading while the garden work is done today, the birds are celebrating spring through song. Their backdrop allowed me to truly enjoy your assessments of where we are today. It is funny to see the idiot-in-chief in the position that he can do absolutely nothing right at this point. In AL, the protests at Tuscaloosa had both sides united in ‘F Joe Biden.’ I believe your assessment is spot on and your comment ‘…are realizing they're actually stuck with the crypt keeper candidate….’ cracked me up!🤣. An apt term for him.

You have by yourself, and in conjunction with the other thinking patriots, given so many of us the education of a lifetime. Thank you….you are most appreciated!

God bless you.🙏. It’s a beautiful day; my chickens lying in the shade and the bluebirds feeding their newly hatched chicks while the wind cools….it’s a wonderful way to observe the chaos of humans with calm!!

Thanks a lot, ALtab. It sometimes surprises me that so many are encouraged by these writings, but I'd like to think I'm just acting as a cypher or prism redirecting chaotic energies of the Info War into a more positive and possibly visible wavelength for some.

BB, I'm not sure if I'm getting more use to your writing style, or if on this post instead of taking me on a long walk the wrong way to get to the store, using words I have to look up to understand the structure of the sentence it contained. Or if you went directly to the store in this post. It seemed to be shorter and more directly telling the story. Telling of the shirt having long sleves, instead of the pattern color fringe adornments and type of buttons before saying it was a long sleve shirt... Great post.. Peace...
