The Narrative Episode 16 - Consensus Protocols
Analyzing the Story of Trump's Public Mandate
Bright Army!
On the latest episode of The Narrative, I was joined for the first time by a man I’ve been orbiting in the Info War for a few years now, but have never had the opportunity to have an in depth discussion with.
(who has a fantastic Substack of his own you should check out,) joined me for a wide-ranging discussion on the advent of the American Golden Age from the perspective of short and long-term storytelling, and why individual perspective is the most important skill to master in times of great change.
I think this was a fun one, and look forward to having Captain Keshel on again in the future.
Hope you enjoy!
On The Narrative, we leave readings of the Actual to the side and focus exclusively on the effect of Stories from the past, present and future on the Collective American Mind.
Every week, I’ll be joined by a different Info Warrior as we use a combination of cognitive cyphers, game theory and pattern recognition to more effectively navigate the Info War without succumbing to it.
After all, the War is a Story, and the Story is a War.
The Week That Was …
Okay, so my latest is not a BRIEF … but I promise you (at least I THINK I can promise you,) that it’s well worth the time spent reading, and not JUST because that’s the only way I can justify the time spent writing it.
Reality Wars represents my attempt to map some of the lesser-discussed convergences I see as being in the offing as Trump’s 2025 agenda gets clearer with each passing deployment for those paying attention, even while it seems to devolve further into chaos for those with eyes clouded by some mix of hate or disbelief.
From the Central Banking Cartel to the concept of Globalism itself, the enemy’s plans are being undone, and much of the weaponry—narratively and actually—has been raided from their own stores.
Hope you get something out of this one, as I tend to need some time to recharge after these more analytical pieces.
Reality Wars
Recent features at Burning Bright have largely tracked what I see as an emergent and accelerating capitulation pattern playing out on a Macro scale when it comes to the Deep State’s System of Systems, even if said pattern is being translated to us by the Media Industrial Complex—one such subsystem of the collective—as something quite different.
In addition to this long-form, I recently penned a shorter and more esoteric writing that presents a snapshot of my personal Info Warrior mentality, one that I actually began cultivating long before I knew I’d be fighting in an Info War, which fuses everything from my love of martial arts with newfound spiritual faith.

Enjoyed the show. As you mentioned story hour I thought to share a quote I read this morning from Flannery O’Connor which reminded me of you.
his need, of course, is to be lifted up. There is something in us, as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored. The reader of today looks for this motion, and rightly so, but what he has forgotten is the cost of it. His sense of evil is diluted or lacking altogether, and so he has forgotten the price of restoration. When he reads a novel, he wants either his senses tormented or his spirits raised. He wants to be transported, instantly, either to mock damnation or mock innocence. ~Flannery O’Connor Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose
Thoroughly enjoyed your discussion on elections, politics, and life with Capt. Keshel. Hopefully, you have him on again soon so we can hear more of your insights together. Your solo journey at show's-end made up for the 'shortened' discussion. Looking forward to reading your previous works when the rights are sorted. Hugs n Prayers for Baby Bright, Wolf, Mrs. BB, and yourself. :)
