The Master - Part 12
The Bicameral Gladiator
The Master explores Donald Trump’s mastery of Narrative Warfare, his Narrative Fighting Style and his importance to the Sovereign Alliance in this Fifth-Generation War against the Globalist Deep State. Start the series with Part 1.
“You have a great name. He must kill your name before he kills you.”
It’s a famous quote from a work of fiction, which, as I have argued time and again, is often capable of communicating more innate and infectious truths than the faux real that is often papered over it. And this one exposes a core truth that is currently shaking the Deep State’s System of Systems to its corrupt foundations.
It’s not hopium. It’s not goalpost-shifting.
It’s logic mixed with advanced (and trained) Macro Pattern Recognition.
I say that quite a bit throughout my travels in the Info War—so much so that it’s become something of a mantra of mine, and it goes in a few directions.
For starters, it’s part of the hope over doom refrain I feel is important to project, and that I fleshed out in greater detail in ‘Irregular Hope.’
Doomers and black-pillers abound in the Truth movement, and whether the specific instance of dooming is coming from a once-earnest mind that has allowed itself to atrophy and devolve into nihilism and cynicism, or whether it emanates from a bad actor either seeded into or commenting on this community of decentralized citizen journalists, researchers and asymmetric thinkers, the result comes to the same in the end: loss of morale on the battlefield.
And in war—whether you’re talking about kinetic power projection on battlefields spanning the modern day all the way back to the reaches of antiquity, or the battlefield of the Collective Mind—morale is everything.
Which might give you a hint as to the inspiration for this piece, and where it’s going.
Originally, when I sat down to write about ‘The Bicameral Gladiator,’ the focus was going to be exclusively on Donald Trump. After all, it’s no secret that, when it comes to Fifth-Generation Warfare—specifically Narrative Warfare—it’s something of a specialty of his. And whether you think Trump was ALWAYS a part of whatever plan we’re both watching unfold and participating in, there’s little doubt that his role is as a Mind-Mover first and an administrator—a direct actor—second.
Now, while some might look at that characterization of the former and future president and the de facto leader of the America First movement, as well as a key figure in my theorized—and increasingly actualized—Sovereign Alliance, I think it’s anything but. In fact, while the military and strategic minds behind Trump are playing their own roles in the simultaneous seizing and resuscitation of our American Republic, stories mean nothing without the characters that breathe life into them, that both forward the plot while communicating its themes to the mind of the observer.
After all, as I have argued many times in these digital pages, humans are born, created with an innate love of, hunger for and understanding of stories, which might explain why we happen to be in a war both defined and made of them.
I’ve begun thinking of and referring to Donald Trump as not just a gladiator, not just a fighter against the dark powers of this world in full view of a rapidly-awakening American populace, but as a Bicameral one because he’s able to not just fight on multiple fronts at once—in the media and in the memetic hyper-reality stitched over this one, as well as in the actual realms of policy, law and international realpolitik—but because he’s able to take on seemingly contradictory roles and even fighting styles as said gladiator seamlessly.
For instance, in the current chapter of the War of Stories, best exemplified by the ongoing Witch Hunt that is the Biden DOJ’s—if there is such a thing—campaign against him, Trump has taken on the position of both Martyr and Champion.
To the former point, the fact that Trump’s recent Manhattan trial began with his personal appeal—and the swift subsequent denial—to attend his son’s graduation is no accident. It’s emotional manipulation for the side of the awakening in its instant and immediate contrast with the emotional terrorism of the System of Systems arrayed against the man who is seen increasingly as … well, a man to even the far reaches of the Normie Hivemind that have up to now merely seen him as a public figure, one alternatively enlightening, infuriating and perhaps exhausting, depending on their personal partisan persuasion.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Trump is also being held up as a Champion not just of truth, but of justice and, yes, if you want to get particularly schmaltzy about it … the American Way. He’s being observed standing up against the full corrupted might of the System of Systems, and it’s all against the backdrop of the codified and bipartisan knowledge that, as one of the richest men in the nation, and one who already—publicly, anyway—served as POTUS, he has no immediately-apparent, self-serving reason to continue fighting the machine outside of his stated desire to do what’s right, just as the machine has no logical reason to keep fighting—to keep hunting—him.
Which begs the question in the Collective Mind—even among the slow blinking …
Why?
Why hunt a man who already ‘lost’ the last election to the incumbent?
Why fight a man who’s closer to the end of his narrative rope than the beginning?
Why provide mass psychological water to a drowning enemy in the War of Stories … the only one truly capable of generating the memetic energies to rival the entirety of the False Reality’s significant—and significantly illusory—power projection?
Unless he never lost, just like ‘She’ was never supposed to lose.
Unless he’s got MUCH more story left to tell, and to live.
Unless the collectivist enemy aren’t the ones doing the hunting, but are themselves the ones being hunted.
Which brings me in a roundabout way to Joe Biden, the other prospective Gladiator on the game board, as groan or chuckle-inducing as that thought may be to this community.
And yet, these are the two men in the arena, according to the story we’re being told, and so, they’re the two combatants the Collective Mind is sizing up, just as they are ostensibly doing to one another as they circle in the sands of the Colosseum that is the Collective Mind.
And while the rematch being official came as no surprise to the Normie layers of the Collective Mind, it actually could be considered a bit of a surprise to those who observed and called out the corporate media’s turn on Biden throughout 2023 and into the early weeks of 2024, when they THOUGHT they had others waiting in the wings.
This is why myself,
and forwarded the argument that, when observing the gravitational pull of ‘The Plan,’ one of the biggest Devolution, Continuity of Government and Patriot Control confirmations we could get would ironically be the actualization of Joe Biden as the 2024 Dem nominee, a face that seemed MORE anathema to the enemy’s System of Systems than it did to even the MAGA faithful just a few short months ago.As I argued in ‘The Reckoning Real,’ when it comes to Donald Trump, Joe Biden (albeit for entirely different reasons,) and yes, Vladimir Putin and the other leaders in the Sovereign Alliance, one refrain has likely been careening discordantly within the cavernous recesses of the Collective Mind of the collectivists:
They’re stuck with him. And they know it.
Which brings me back to the central and leading theme of this piece, and the original inspiration for it, spoken plainly and poetically at once:
“You have a great name. He must kill your name before he kills you.”
The quote comes from one of the best movies in American cinema—Ridley Scott’s Gladiator—which is never far from the minds of Anons and Truthers as the Info War has increasingly taken on the tension and persuasion of a digital, asymmetric version of a battle for the soul of a remembered empire seemingly entering its waning days.
And I would argue that it can be applied, like many things in this war, in a Bicameral direction.
Where it concerns Donald Trump, our chosen champion and the tribute of the people, the allusion is earnest and immediate.
Trump has a great name—one made greater by his participation in what will be the greatest story told … since the original story as the Great Awakening continues to build to a cascading convergence of crescendos that will lead us as we lead ourselves into a new era of light, logic and discovery. And his name is what the powers that have been and would be again have focused their flagging collectivist might on opposing since the day he came down that golden escalator.
Even the establishment media and their cultural lapdogs, from the sports and entertainment realm to the politico elite who bloviate on faux comedy sets to increasingly-isolated audiences are beginning to pick up on the whiplash the Witch Hunt—the Trump Hunt—is visiting on the System of Systems.
But Joe Biden is also a name, one that is now as much synonymous with the establishment ruling class and the administrations that preceded his—and the many sins that tie them together—as it is with the ‘Crime Family’ signifier and modifier that is now applied to it with frequency, almost automatically.
Biden—many of us argued at the time and many more argue today—was among the worst choices for the establishment to put forward as candidate, not just because of his obvious ineptitude on the national and world stages as orator, leader … gladiator, but even more so because of the many ways in which he had and has been compromised by enemies both foreign and domestic.
And despite the fact that we’ve been told ‘these people are stupid,’ I’ve never quite taken the cheese that they’re THAT stupid, a viewpoint that feels less contradictory when taken in concert with the observable reality that it was Donald Trump himself who put Biden forward in 2020 as his prime rival—and thus, to an easily-baited and immeasurably arrogant establishment—as his prime threat.
By raising the Biden name up to a partisan public, painting him as a rival to the side that hated him and a target to the side that loved him, Trump engineered one of the key understated masterstrokes of the Information War, forcing the enemy into the position of riding with the most threadbare and fragile name they had available on a bench that has few warm bodies remaining that haven’t been dragged through the rending and unforgiving grinder of the decentralized Truth Community triggered into an early awakening by the advent of both Trump and the Q Op.
This is a reality that my friend and peer
has pointed out with frequency, and if you once had trouble playing with the possibility that Joe Biden was as much ours—Trump’s—candidate as theirs—more so, in fact—perhaps that calcification is dissolving as establishment polling on the establishment itself turns parabolically catastrophic for them in the early spring of the most consequential election season since they stole the last one, as the only unifying point in a divided and largely distraught American populace seems to be the common ground of seeing Biden as weak, feckless and either intentionally or ‘quite by accident’ dangerous to the future of said populace.Many of us have speculated that the Biden Administration is a Biden Admin in name only, as, either by hook or by crook, 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 from the Doha Agreement to the Abraham Accords, the Prussian Proxy War in Ukraine to the Israel-Gaza powder keg, with a hot conflict between China and Taiwan ever waiting to be warmed in the mass collective microwave come summer.
Of course, I have and will continue to argue that, where it concerns the Actuals, many of these chaotic and complex theaters HAD to occur in order to shift the international game board toward an era of sovereignty and multi-polarity … one Trump will publicly abhor right up until he rides back into the Oval Office with deals ready to be signed and pacts prepped for reveal.
And yet, the Narratives have been catastrophic … at least, for the party seen as ‘in charge’ in the west right now, which includes Biden, the Deep State Department, the increasingly-exposed Uniparty occupying the halls of an illegitimate Congress, and the entirety of the carrion crows strung up on strings of their own making in the EU.
Thus, by putting the Biden name up on a Deep State pedestal during the waning days of his first (public) term, Trump set it up for a fall, effectively killing the Biden name—and all the names that propped it up in full view of the awakening American Mind—long before a more corporeal, literal and lasting justice is visited upon it and them.
But don’t take my word for it. Take theirs.
For if you had any lingering doubts as to which side the Crisis Convergence and Narrative Whiplash is affecting more strongly in the current stage of the Info War ... witness the MSM beginning to program the following into its audience:
Joe Biden is somehow against both sides of the Israel-Gaza cultural inflection point.
Chaos is terrible for incumbent presidents, historically, and Biden is presiding over nothing if not unmitigated, engineered chaos.
The only bipartisan point of agreement on the extremes of the ideological and sociopolitical spectrum is in mutual hatred of Joe Biden, and by extension, the establishment (of which the MSM is a major part) that propped him up on marionette strings and defended him for three+ years.
The pictures, videos and by extension stories the MSM has sold to its audience as the chaos spins out of their narrative control may or may not be 'real' in any meaningful sense of the word. (Paging
and !)
From the Kabul Withdrawal to Russia’s (entirely justified, but undoubtedly dramatic) advance into the Donbas, a collapsing economy to the chaotic, messy, utterly necessary cultivation of mandate en route to the codification of the Abraham Accords, retreat is defeat in the Mind War, and the establishment has been forced to cede hill after hill to the precedents—the ideas—Donald Trump set forth in his first term, via the very public failings anathema to them that this Administration represents.
Put another way, widespread pain prompts widespread awakening, and no candidate could have visited such direct and obvious pain and tension onto the Collective Mind in so short a time as Biden and his establishment cronies, and all while the Great Jester uses THEIR campaign against him as the primary platform through which to remind the Collective Mind of what they had from 2016-20 … and what they could have again in the form of a resurgent and renewed American Dream in the form of Agenda 47, which I explored at length in ‘The Switch,’ one of my unifying Macro Economic Theories.
So, as we revisit the core directive of both the Deep State AND Patriots—near as I can tell—on the ever-shifting game board that is the War of Stories, which side seems closer to killing a name right now?
Whatever ‘Trump’ meant, whatever [they] tried to corrupt and pervert the Trump name INTO meaning, and whatever it might mean in the years, decades and yes, even generations to come—I think we have a LOT of golden-orange light on the horizon—the name as it stands now is Bicameral in ways that are memetically magical to a support base that hasn’t just grown, but done so exponentially since he first came down that golden escalator, and Bicameral in the most terrifying and infuriating way to those who declared themselves his—and by extension, our—enemies before his coming became the moment we should have known it heralded.
Fast forwarding from an exhaustive media cycle that first kicked off in 2015-16 to front-run the greatest presidential run in history to the current Witch Hunt his supporters are lapping up with gleeful irony due to the mass psychological and actual precedents it’s setting while the Normie Layers of the Collective Mind suffer it to pass as their society seems to crumble around them in the void left over by his absence from the White House, Trump isn’t IN the news anymore.
He IS the news.
At least, when Biden isn’t stealing the Narrative and Mass Psychological spotlight in all the best ways … light Trump is all too happy to share with him given its net effects in furtherance of the awakening, just as he’s all too happy to let his enemies extend the Witch Hunt all the way toward the cultivation of the collective mandate for the REAL Witch Hunts to come.
To wit, While the MSM and their Deep State handlers spend what's left of their sociopolitical capital (it's not much) trying to convince you to doom out, keep in mind the fact that this man has produced two of the most memetic images in modern American history ... during the same Witch Hunt ... for opposite reasons.
On the one side, we see Trump's memetic Game Face, in which he lets the Deep State (but more importantly, his base,) know just how screwed [they] really are when the reckoning comes on the back of his second (public) term, which will be borne on the back of our sovereign will.
On the other, we have the latest masterwork, which demonstrates the exact opposite mood, albeit one that leads to the same endpoint. While the latest court sketch is almost goofy in its virility, it's also communicating calm under fire, or, as Anons say, 'comfiness and coziness' in equal measure.
Thus, the question you need to ask yourself is the same one [they] are right now:
Does Trump seem afraid to you?
But then, framing Biden as a Gladiator himself isn’t totally accurate according to the story the Collective Mind is being told. Instead, he’s more occupying the role of the emperor, which recalls the Palpatine Paradigm—the most cartoonish, absurdist actualization of the dictatorial template they tried to set for Trump in the Collective Mind, and that they’re trying to spin up again—on in full swing.
After all, a story is only as good as its villain, and while it has become clear to an increasing plurality of the American people that Biden isn’t so much THAT villain as he is the mask it wears, he represents it all the same.
Which brings us to the arena itself, which is the public mind—a mind that is MOST focused on the prospect of debates between Trump and Biden, a rematch in the most literal sense of the word before the auspice of the election itself, whose legitimacy (or lack thereof) we’ll leave until we’re on its doorstep.
It's not an overstatement when many of us refer to Donald Trump as a Master of Narrative Warfare, and his baiting of Biden to enter the debate arena with him leading up to the election is yet another masterstroke made even more intentional due to his refusal to let the fake GOP debates get a whiff of his MAGA jock strap.
Trump effectively overshadowed the GOP debates (and the GOP itself) by very publicly abstaining. His non-participation was de facto participation, in that he won the debates by rendering them entirely and pathetically moot in the minds of the American people ... EVEN those who hate him, and who only see HIM, not the GOP at large, as their enemy.
By focusing his sights on Biden when Biden is in the midst of a Narrative and Actual Crisis Cascade that's been spooking the crap out of the establishment cronies and grifters who are realizing they're actually stuck with the crypt keeper candidate, Trump is prepping normies for the Narrative slaughter & memetic harvest.
In short, Trump knows the value of a good fight, just as he knows the real battlefield is in the public mind, which is the public arena. The debate has already started, and the emperor has lost it because he has already lost the love of the people.
Either Biden, the Emperor fights and loses … or he refuses to fight … thereby losing by forfeit.
In the end, the true genius of Trump’s mastery of the value of stories rests in his understanding of the heart of all great stories:
Drama.
Drama captures attention, and attention captures minds, where ideas can be seeded, germinated … and harvested.
It’s a central feature of the Great Awakening and the War of Stories that is its core engine, and not a bug.
We’ll explore exactly how this ‘titanic’ match-up—Trump vs. the Establishment, Round 3—will go in future entries, but for now, let’s leave Micro tactics and fighting styles to the side, plans within plans drifting in the ether like the ghosts in the media machine, and take another page out of the book of Maximus Decimus Meridius when I ask you the following:
Are you not entertained?
Now … turn it around, and ask it of [them,] that collectivist, white-laced, vampire-fanged emperor in his Colosseum box:
Are [they] not entertained?
Ultimately, the Gladiator isn’t on trial; the emperor is.
Trump isn’t on Trial. They are.
They have been the whole time, which puts the Crisis Cascade in an entirely new perspective.
Trump isn’t literally fighting for us, but narratively so, which inspires us to fight for ourselves—the remembrance of our own strength signified in watching the man in the arena. The enemies attacking him are not doing so because of who he is, but who he represents, which is us.
This has given us empathy for the protagonist, and animus toward the antagonist, which is to say, motivation. And that fire is spreading, and rising.
We’re no longer looking at the shadows on the wall.
We’re looking for the light that carves them.
And so, the core white pill at the heart of the revelation of who that enemy is—in all its subversive forms—and of what they hate is that it simultaneously reveals what the enemy fears.
The emperor doesn’t fear the man in the arena.
He fears those cheering for him.
Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.

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!
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.
