The Narrative Episode 18 - Leaders of the Golden Age
How Trump is Navigating the Engineered Chaos of the Shadow War
Bright Army!
We back at it with a new episode of The Narrative, the show were we discuss the War of Stories that is layered both above and below the Info War.
This week, I was joined by Lt. Colonel Oakland McCulloch for a wide-ranging discussion on leadership at the advent of what we hope and believe will be a new American Golden Age.
McCulloch’s experience in MIL leadership roles gives him some great insights into both the burdens and boons of populist leadership, but I’ve also always been fond of the common sense approach he takes to distilling the signal from the noise in these conversations.
We discussed the past, present and future of Donald Trump’s particular brand of American leadership, how it’s being received by various layers of the Collective Mind, and what lessons Trump (and by extension, the rest of us) can and have drawn from American history, from John F. Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower to Gen. George Patton.
I hope you enjoy listening or watching as much as I did hosting!
The Week That Was …
I must say, I didn’t manage to get any brand new writing done this past week, as Baby Bright is taking the bulk of my non-Info War attention—along with that pesky day job—but I am rather happy to say that a LOT of new readers seem to have found there way to this publication in recent days due to the timely analysis I seem to have somewhat accidentally threaded together in my most recent long-form.
In Reality Wars, I attempt to guess the game beneath the game that I think is playing out not just between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, but between Trump, the America First agenda and the System itself.
So far, so good, and yes, I’m absolutely working on a follow-up.
Do check it out, if you haven’t.

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.
A Humble Request …
In case you haven’t sussed it out from my occasional allusions and self deprication whenever my writing is delayed, I can be a bit hard on myself for someone who runs a free publication. That’s why you’ve seen me waffle back and forth between pumping out more frequent Briefs and more gradual long-forms, depending on the month.
Honestly, I’m prone to what I call ‘red-lining’ my mind, which isn’t the healthiest thing in the world, and is something I’m trying to be more cognizant of as I adjust to fatherhood while trying to put my family in the best position possible as I try to continue what I truly feel is important work here, even if the financial rewards for it are often volatile, if they come at all.
I’m never going to be able to promise specific timelines or frequency when it comes to my writings. Sometimes I’ll do more frequent briefs and other times, just a couple of long-forms in a month, but I spend a LOT of time on these, and a lot of mental energy. I am extremely grateful to those of you who spend the time and effort to read them, share them and comment on them, and the comments from those of you who tell me to rest up at times and not feel so much pressure to get the next piece of writing out.
Additionally, I always feel weird asking for support, and as I always say, everything I do here is going to remain free, just as my shows on Rumble will remain free, as I believe in what we’re all trying to uncover together.
That said, while I do maintain a career in order to weather the instability inherent in being … whatever it is I am around these parts, the added support from the growing Bright Army isn’t just appreciated, but as my wife and I attempt to navigate the joys and stresses of new parenthood, it’s becoming even more meaningful—and important—to us.
Anyway, all of that is to say that, if you are able to support the work I’ll continue to try to do in the form of Paid Subscriptions (cancel at any time) to this publication or Coffee Donations, know that it does not go unnoticed.
Burning Bright’s goal is to provide a valuable resource for Truth, Discernment and Logic-Based Positivity, and all of my content is free. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a Free or Paid Subscriber.
Want to submit a one-time donation? You can do so by buying me a coffee!
ALL members of the growing Bright Army are appreciated.
Thanks for having me as a guest on your show BB. I loved our conversation. Look forward to seeing you, Mrs. Bright and hopefully Baby Bright at Gart 8 in Plymouth!
Children, especially the first, are a life-changing event in countries where individual life is prized. I’m amazed how you are able to put out as much as you do, being aware your wife’s support of your work is key! However and whenever you are able to post, it will be avidly perused by your supporters!!
Don’t be hard on yourself as you are much appreciated! Thank you to your wife as she’s supported you on this journey! Enjoy each phase of Baby Bright’s childhood!🥰
