The Narrative Episode 65 - Commander-in-Trump

On the Controlled Chaos of Donald J. Trump

Bright Army!

The Narrative is back in your life after a one-week hiatus due to some Nashville shenanigans, where I even met a bunch of my long-time subscribers and supporters herein.

This week, I was joined by sometimes-nemesis (at least when it comes to hockey) Brian Lupo as we used Donald Trump’s navigation of the Iranian Knot as a prism through which to view everything from his dismantling of the Forever War Paradigm to his continued assault on the fraudulent US election system.

From Color Revolutions at home and abroad to the ongoing—and very difficult—reconciliation between legacy American conservatism and Bush-era jingoism, this was a wide-ranging and ultimately-positive discussion of admittedly-challenging times.

And I hope you enjoy the effort.

The Week That Was …

Every time I think the Iran War Narrative has lost me, I find a new wrinkle to delve into.

The latest result is a piece I’m particularly proud of that helps to tie together two of the macro themes I’ve been focusing the bulk of my Info War attentions on in recent months—that being the twin and complementary framworks of the Multipolar War macro and the Sovereign Disentanglement micro.

In other words, this one attempts to frame Trump’s navigation of the Iranian Knot within the context of the larger war for the future … and of it.

And in the second half, I merge the Iran War series with the Timeline War series, as I believe Trump and the patriots have given us a few recent hints as to exactly HOW the Golden Age is going to arrive on an Actual level, and more importantly, how it’s going to be translated on a Narrative one.

After all, it’s not ALL about demolition and disentanglement.

It’s about building.

And I believe we’ve got the right men for the job.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the attempt, and if you do, please consider supporting this work and the time it takes me using one of the methods below.

Burning Bright’s goal is to provide Truth, Discernment and Logic-Based Positivity in the form of a Bicameral Human Tiger.

He does not always succeed.

Nevertheless, these posts take a long time to produce, and I put them out free of charge.

So, if you do find any value in my attempt to make sense of the engineered madness of the Info War, the Mind War and the Shadow War married through the lens of what I’ve dubbed the War of Stories, consider supporting me using one of the methods below …

As many know, I launched my own independent genre fiction publishing house in 2025, using whatever procedes it generates to both reclaim and later republish work from my old life in the publishing industry that drove me into the hills because of my refusal to stop forging the very thought paths you likely follow me for.

(No regrets on that front.)

Anyway, if you’re into high quality genre fiction that threads in many of the macro themes you’ve glimpsed throughout my geopolitical and philosophical musings, consider supporting that creative endeavor and get yourself a fun, thought-provoking—and usually, action-packed—adventure for your troubles.

Otherwise … the oldest methods remain the most steady, stable and appreciated.

For a one-time tip … consider buying me a coffee.
