The Narrative Episode 73 - Devolution Evolution II
Revisiting Donald Trump's Counter Insurgency Operation in 2026
Bright Army!
The latest episode of The Narrative has such a clever subtitle … it’s one I used before, going ALL the way back to the first time I hosted one Jon Herold on the show.
That said, this show isn’t a repeat.
It was rather intended to be a BIG PICTURE retrospective and projection of the Trump Counter Insurgency, specifically through the lens of the theorized Continuity of Government operation many of us believe kicked off in earnest in 2020, itself coming on the back of a Military Intelligence operation against the Deep State’s entrenched insurgency some time before.
What followed was a great discussion on the past, present and near future of the plan to take our country back, and how recalibration in the midst of fifth-gen warfare is the best medicine for what ails the fatigued Info War mind.
The Week That Was …
So, if you haven’t noticed, I’ve been writing, not so much a LOT, but rather a LOT more often starting last week, and it’s a habit I intend—to the best of my ability—to keep up with going forward.
That’s right.
The Bright Brief is back in a big way, and in its first full week back on the scene, my Info War cognitive spasms allowed me to cover everything from Russia-US backchannels as part of the Sovereign Alliance theory to the beautification of DC as emblematic of the renaissance of the American soul.
But my favorite Brief of the week was the one I ended on, in which I discuss the current resurgence in Christian faith within the American Mind, and just how frightened the enemy is by this.
The intent of the returned Bright Brief is to allow me to cover a lot more cognitive, analytical, philosophical and spiritual ground than I can by relegating myself to gargantuan long-forms that I nonetheless will continue to serve up, but ONLY when necessary on a given gargantuan topic.
I appreciate the positive feedback on this approach, and hope it brings added value to you as we attempt to navigate the Mind War together.

(Author’s Note: I’m considering bringing the Bright Brief back in a big way moving forward, with more frequent posts that are, well, actually SORT OF brief on subjects that don’t always make it into my long-forms.

I prefer brief, as opposed to lengthy, ourobouros, often bicameral, circumlocution. Make the point and move on; don't "gild the lily". ;-)
