Righteous Russia - The Reckoning

Of Presidents and Paradigms

Graphic by Andy5x5

This feature is meant to be a spiritual successor to and retrospective on the Righteous Russia series, which you can READ HERE.

---

When I first sat down to write the Righteous Russia series … I didn’t know what I was doing.

Two years later, as I sit down to write what might end up being the tenth entry in it, but that could become something else entirely (Narrator: it DID become something else entirely) … I can’t say all that much has changed in terms of the initial impetus, and while I struggled with the imposter syndrome inherent in that sort of revelation-confession for some time, enough of you have found worth in whatever it is this publication has become that I feel compelled to keep at it when the muse—or the utterly insane and entertaining War of Stories reshaping the global zeitgeist—strikes accordingly.

In recent weeks, there have been a lot of new eyes on the series that started it all at Burning Bright—including many who’ve been reading subsequent writings around these parts, but who have let me know they never circled back to this one—and in addition to extending a grateful welcome to you all, I want to reiterate something that some might find obvious from the outset:

I am not an expert in Russian history. I am not an expert in much of anything, aside from hand-to-hand combat and the nuances of the written word, the latter of which has actually gotten me into more trouble than the former.

That said, that latter expertise has translated into what I would say is my biggest passion: the art of storytelling; after all, it’s what I built much of my professional career on, long before I made the grudging shift from fiction to nonfiction with the advent of this very publication, feeling that few voices and minds in our hemisphere were devoting significant time to exploring the non-US pillars of the opposition to the collectivist Deep State we all stand unified against—pillars I began to refer to as the Sovereign Alliance, an anti-collectivist collective of which I would argue Russia is a major part.

I am good at sussing out the tenor, framework and direction of stories … and folks, there are a LOT of those flying around, and until you engage with the Info War as a War of Stories meant to alternatively control or free your mind (and thus, your God-given free will,) you will be twitching on strings in a void without horizon, unable to get more than a shadowed glimpse of the pale-fingered hands that direct your animus from on high, or down low.

Our charge here, then, is not to document Actuals, but simply to use them to examine and reverse engineer Narratives. Yes, this is not only exceedingly more possible than the former, but significantly more important to the future of our world. Actuals will follow Narratives, because Narratives provoke Mandate, and Mandate manifests in the real.

And so, when I set out to explore the relationship between the United States and Russia, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, West and East, keep that framework in mind. The stories we have been told, and the truths the lies within them contain.

Righteous Russia is the result of that effort—not to explore and explain the truth of the Russian Federation and its future role in the emergence of the multi-polar world order and the war on the Globalist Deep State, but rather to consider the story of Russia that the Collective Western Mind has been told and sold seemingly for time immemorial.

A story it continues to be sold to this day, but which, thankfully, it—that we—are beginning to reject, first by degrees, and very soon, I think, wholesale.

Just as we have been programmed with a story of fear and even hatred toward Russia—a story that gets increasingly-absurd as it escalates—being told a story that undoes that programming (one that just so happens to be true, and so, is significantly more powerful in its effects on the observing mind,) has the power to prevent actualization of the nightmare scenarios the Deep State had in mind, while paving the way toward a future we’ve never been able to envision.

Righteous Russia is not that story. It is, rather, an attempt to prepare us for it.

For, as I have argued at length in previous entries, the only thing more terrifying to the Deep State than one Sovereign-minded, Sovereign-willed, and Sovereign-led empire is two … and I think it comes clearer with each passing day, each passing Narrative Deployment and each abandoned hill on the Info War battlefield by the subversive heirs of the Prussian empire which empire the enemy fears most—that being a unified and decentralized one made up of free sovereigns the world over.

And for good reason.

So then, before we take in some of the new developments in the story of Russia as the Collective Mind is being told it—and the other Proxy Presidents on the game board—let’s revisit some of the foundational theories laid out in this series so far, and then see where we are in the informational timeline … or the story, as the Collective Mind sees it:

• Russia is NOT what we’ve been told it is.

• Putin is NOT who we’ve been told he is.

• Russia wants peace.

• The Globalist western hegemon wants war.

• The United States and Russia (the real ones, represented by Trump and Putin) have the same enemies.

• And, finally, the claim that is self-evident—that the enemy of my enemy is, in fact, my friend.

A month ago, I thought I’d continue this exploration of said set of stories … and then a new story hit, and a new one, and a new one, each more dramatic, intentionally traumatic and yet … inert as the next.

This recalls the Shark Fin Template I apply to many theaters of the Info War, specifically where it concerns what I see as the most foundational theories we track. Whether you came to the awakening through the advent of Donald Trump as a presidential candidate, the Q Op (‘We Are Q’ remains my most-read and shared feature to date,) or even if your personal awakening stretches back much farther, into the orbit of 9/11 or JFK, there are core truths whose armored lies the Deep State have wielded against us for generations, and whose revelations have the power to alternatively traumatize and provoke the Collective Mind we are trying to wake, as we have been awakened.

From Epstein Island and the Darkest Path in the Mind War to the Biden Crime Family, Uranium One to FISAGate, the 2020 Election theft to J6 and stretching back to the Prussian Empire that stands as a shadowed, invisible philosophical monument to the current enemy’s shared past (explored expertly in Will Zoll’s Prussiagate series here on Substack,) there are some stories that just won’t quit, and whose eventual payoffs have the power to rapidly reverse decades of engineered Hegelian programming in a Crisis Cascade that will bring the whole diseased, corrupt and ultimately, illusory temple crashing down on their collectivist heads.

Of course, it isn’t entirely accurate to apply the Shark Fin Template—which posits that these repeat stories alternatively rise and fall away from the collective consciousness within the War of Stories at auspicious times—to the story of Russia, as it’s never far from headlines these days … and yet, there’s been a shift of late, with ghosts in the media machine seemingly provoking all manner of panicked responses regarding the former USSR that has been reforged into an Orthodox Christian Superstate, which we explored in Part 3.

And you have noticed those ramping up of late, haven’t you?

To wit, what started with a Russian Space Nukes deployment that was only slightly more believable than sharks with laser beams attached to their heads (a threat that was officially downgraded to, well, not much at all within 24 hours, and that Russia herself rightly mocked as ‘a trick,’) to the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to close out this past month, the War of Stories has crashed and merged into the clandestine theater of the Shadow War with abandon.

Chris Paul floated the idea that this pattern of narrative interruption, interference and acceleration recalls narrative disarmament, in which the enemy’s stories are rendered inert by the very nature of their panicked, illogical and ill-formed roots, making them laughably easy fodder for patriots within the Sovereign Alliance, and for all of us.

Mockery, after all, is one of the best forms of effective insurgency, especially in the context of a Mind War.

As for the Narrative deployment of Navalny himself, pay no heed, young reader, to the fact that Navalny went on trial in his homeland for forwarding Nazi ideology, in addition to fraud and contempt.

Even his Wiki intro is a fascinating bit of Ouroborosian doublespeak this community now recognizes on reflex:

“Navalny was a Russian Opposition Coordination Council member, the leader of the Russia of the Future party and founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation.”

As I often say, sometimes playing the opposite game really is the best path in terms of setting a cognitive pathway, and an ‘Anti-Corruption Foundation’ is itself a fairly easy foundation from which to map a subversive, communist inversion of the very concept it’s named after.

The Media Industrial Complex really outdid themselves with this one, at least in terms of mock serious drama.

Observe:

I specifically chose the most outlandish and dramatic summation of the death of Alexey Navalny that I could find in the western globalist media in order to distill a point that—encouragingly—needs distilling to a dwindling number of awakening minds in the Truth Community, and the Collective Mind at large.

When the Media Industrial Complex moves in lock step to forward a coordinated, squeaky clean, emotionally manipulative narrative with immediacy following a totally organic, seemingly random and unpredictable event, the aforementioned opposite game is often the best place to start.

When a black-and-white, Hollywoodesque headshot is being used to comment on the death of a—to be EXCEEDINGLY kind—controversial international figure, you know you’re about to strap in for some pre-planned, 4am talking point-style bullsh*t.

While the western media paints Navalny as a savior and freedom fighter, many Russians assert that he was a fomenter of color revolution, an avowed Nazi sympathizer, and a self-described neo-Marxist globalist bent on transforming Russia into an EU and UN-aligned mirror of the Prussian subversive superstate.

To them, he will not be missed, and the timing of the story of his death is provoking exactly the sort of awakening stories like these are ostensibly meant to quell.

As Al Jazeera laid out in an August 2023 deep dive into the ‘opposition leader’ who never polled above more than 2% in his native country, Navalny was nothing if not a communist traitor working on behalf of the very shadowed Nazis Putin and his forces have been systematically pulling out root and stem from the Donbas over the course of the last two years.

His journey represents the subversive Prussian ideology’s dashed hopes for a Hegelian return to communism in the wake of the Russian Oligarchy’s failure in the 1990s—a return former Russian President—and Vladimir Putin ally—Boris Yeltsin rug-pulled the communists regarding by elevating Vladimir into his role by way of a full-throated endorsement. Putin, famously (or infamously,) made good on this endorsement by riding it into the halls of the Kremlin, and followed it up by taking said Oligarchs to task, both legally and … through other, more direct means, only to replace them with Russian Orthodoxy, nationalism and capitalist reform, focusing on internal production and Asian trade over the ensuing decades.

In summary, Navalny represents the failed remnants of the Soviets’ attempts to rebrand themselves as capitalists, only for Putin to drive them from Russian lands—most of them ended up in modern-day Ukraine, which shouldn’t come as a shock to awakening minds—or bring them to heel … and yeah, maybe he poisoned a few along the way.

The Media Industrial Complex has always framed Putin as a bit of a gangster, but sometimes, that framing blows up in their collectivist faces, as it did with the resurfacing of this infamous clip demonstrating exactly how Putin dealt—and continues to deal—with actual gangsters in and adjacent to his lands:

As if the whole deployment wasn’t absurd enough, Navalny’s wife doing media rounds WITHIN A DAY of his supposed assassination made it more apparent than we think to even Normie Layers of the Collective Mind that this—along with most other anti-Putin, anti-Trump deployments over the last decade—was a wrap-up smear writ large and international, and as with all other versions of the political template, it has money as its end goal. In fact, that’s not even a conspiracy theory reach these days, with the ongoing US government funding drama being steeped in controversy over ‘foreign’ aide to Ukraine, which continues to draw bipartisan ire against the entirely unified uniparty.

ZeroHedge noted what I have above—that Navalny himself never polled above 2% support—but that didn’t stop the AP from forwarding this bit of engineered (ie: scripted) drama:

Navalnaya’s new job will be leading the Russian opposition through one of the darkest and most turbulent times in its history.

The opposition is fractured, and Navalny’s death dealt it a serious blow. The question now is whether Navalnaya can rally her husband’s troops and work with other opposition groups to mount any kind of successful challenge to Putin, who is on a path to serve another six years in the Kremlin after the presidential election in March.

As an aside, and as the now-viral meeting between Navalny’s aide and MI6 demonstrates, the persuasion of the modern world gave the enemy significant abstract power projection capabilities … but it also gave them to us, and we’ve become so adept at wielding them, Narrative deployments built on falsity are being disarmed with near immediacy, from Ukrainian missiles in Poland to prison assassinations.

This is the same old playbook the Clinton-Obama establishment has been running re: Putin for a decade, wiping out his political opposition and then weaponizing said Actuals with fraudulent Narratives.

The Deep State's narrative powder is so dry, they're not only recycling the same color revolutions against members of the Sovereign Alliance ... but also the PsyOps that went along with them.

In Righteous Russia – Part 2, I wrote:

"Bourdain’s friend, a Russian producer named Zamir Gotta, even hits the nail directly on the Mockingbird’s head when he remarks, “[Putin] strikes me as a businessman—a businessman with an ego … like Donald Trump, but shorter.”

And there we have it. The narrative, announced proudly, cleanly-produced and ready for both mainstream and pop culture dissemination, and just a year before Trump declared his candidacy for 2016.

And the assertions carried extra weight given that Boris Nemtsov, an opposition leader and public opponent of Vladimir Putin, is featured prominently in the episode, only to be assassinated nine months after its airing. The narrative of Putin as killer was put forth confidently by a major Western cultural leader and one of its—at the time—most watched outlets, and seemingly confirmed.

Predictive programming at its best.

From where I’m sitting, Boris Nemtsov was the Alexei Navalny of 2014.

And while it is impossible for us to know the truth of Navalny’s fate, it didn’t take long for the Info War to explode with tantalizing motive on the one side—Navalny’s alleged relationship with MI6 about fomenting color revolution in Russia … there’s those darned intel agencies again—and warmongering freestyling out of the heads of the collectivist hydras in the EU and US on the other side—Ursula von der Leyen and Biden—using the deployment to spin up the fear that the Russian space laser story neutered 48 hours earlier.

And they weren’t alone, with the collectivist leadership of the “free world,” also known as the “rules-based order” taking their narrative marching orders and deploying their official stances on Putin’s guilt in lock step, almost as if they knew it was coming. Stateside, Nikki Haley even went so far as to bring Trump into the deployment, framing him the same way the establishment she represents has been since 2016—as an asset of the Kremlin.

Biden even went so far as to front-run “Russia’s story” regarding what he framed as an “assassination.”

Isn’t it interesting how quick our fearless leaders are to delve into conspiracy theorizing when the American people even suggesting Epsteinian framing is met with derision and rebuke in almost all other contexts?

When you’re an asset for Deep State intel agencies, they may find that your worth as a martyred symbol outstrips that of a failed dissident. Simple as that.

Of course, it didn’t help that the Prussian Proxy itself began undermining the Narrative Deployment within the week, even saying “I may disappoint you” in reference to Ukrainian MIL leadership’s belief that Putin had nothing to do with Navalny’s (timely) death.

Typically, the Narrative Pillar of the Deep State's System of Systems operates in perfect coordination with the Kinetic, Clandestine and Political Pillars of the same Hydra-like establishment, codifying and fleshing out deployments for easy (and Hegelian) consumption within the Collective Mind in order to advance regime-friendly mandates.

Over the last few months, the panic within the Clandestine arm of the establishment is palpable, with the CIA now being plastered across headlines in the core Narrative-setters within the media, from the New York Times to WAPO; these deep dive editorials might be praising the CIA's 'influence' in the Prussian Proxy of Ukraine, but they represent Narrative retreat along previously-held psychological ground.

And now, even said Proxy is stepping out of line when it comes to pushing forward the latest in the absurd push of anti-Putin, anti-Russia western propaganda, as Ukrainian Gen. Kyrylo Budanov has rebuked the MSM's conspiratorial theorizing re: Navalny.

So whose war is it, anyway?

That question, ironically, can be answered by another, much older version of the same … Cui Bono?

You can learn a lot, watching things lie, and the Collective Mind has been watching these people lie for quite a while.

The Russian Space Nukes story was pre-empted and disarmed with near immediacy. The Navalny Deployment didn’t last much longer.

Both have rightly been seen by most in the Info War as another example of the Hegelian Dialectic—False Flags meant to both trigger mass psychological mania with regards to Russia in the aftermath of Vladimir Putin's seismic (and effective) interview with Tucker Carlson, and to provide the illusion of mandate for the sanctions they're handing down now.

Of course, these sanctions have not and will not 'work,' as demonstrated by the fact that Russia is one of the only nations whose GDP has actually increased in recent years, and whose national currency has strengthened relative to the petrodollar ... of course, the point of the sanctions isn't to work, but rather to act as a scarlet letter painting a line of demarcation between the 'rules-based order,' also known as the globalist establishment, and those who eschew said rules.

Thing is, we've reached the stage of the Story where Russia and the emergent BRICS nations are done pretending they care. This recalls the ‘Power is Power’ refrain I wrote about in Righteous Russia – Part 7:

At the public start of all this madness in Ukraine, before stories of ghosts in Kiev and blockades in Mariupol, sieges of steel and flights of cowardice masquerading as refugees, the mouthpieces of the Globalist Cabal offered us as the collective West a simple Problem:

Vladimir Putin, with Russia behind him.

Then they offered a simple Reaction:

Panic and fearmonger, then wield the collective might of the petrodollar and the combined accounting of all the Banking Nations in concert against the surly tiger, grown too bold in its frosted chains.

At least on the first count, the Deep State and Vladimir Putin seem to see eye to eye. Vladimir is the problem. He is a problem for the Deep State because he knows them. More so, because he knows how to think like them, and now, how to fight like them.

The only problem for the Deep State—something they have been realizing from Poland to Royal England, where the pipelines have gone from surging to lurching, and where the citizenry has gone from rallying to enduring that which Putin has refused to provide in the face of such wonton corruption, they have failed to consider that the Reaction Putin has in mind for them is not simply to wield a narrative.

Instead, Putin has chosen to wield the truest form of power there is, thus exposing their very lack of it. By embracing the role of the villain he has been cast in, he has exposed the utter weakness of the would-be heroes of the West as he slowly, unerringly deprives the Deep State nations of the blood of his homeland—rich black blood that has powered the very machines of industry, war and everything in between they would seek to wield against him now.

But more importantly than the literal effect this deprivation has had on the Controllers in the European Union is the psychological effect it has had all the way across the Pacific and Atlantic, as the collective Empire that is Globalism incarnate has no clothes.

In calling Vladimir Putin’s bluff, the Deep State has triggered a counter Dialectic to shatter their own, and exposed themselves in the process. In seeking to cast Putin as enemy, they have revealed themselves to their collective populaces. They have revealed themselves as aggressors, as attackers, and most importantly, as weak, as the tiger has ignored their threats, and carried on in his confident strength, teeth still white and gleaming, and ready for a fight that will never come, because he has already won it.

It will take time before the last claim is rendered real on our timeline, but rest assured, when Russia’s victory over the proxy state in Ukraine is admitted on the world stage, you will know that the capitulation has only just begun. The Deep State Controllers will gnash and whine and stamp their feet, all while their people suffer, and try as they might to cast Russia as the engineer of said suffering, their masks will have slipped further as the truth becomes clear.

Power is power, and whether they like it or not, Vladimir Putin wields it, and their would-be leaders do not.

I wrote this in June 2022, which isn’t so much a brag as it is an indicator that one of my favorite refrains of all time—from Miyamoto Musashi—holds as much water today as it always has:

“When you know the way broadly, you can see it in all things.”

We know the enemy’s way. We’ve been shown it.

The enemy knows this. They know they have lost in the Actual realm, so why the stories?

As always it is of lesser importance to suss out the Actuals than the Narratives, and to project at the Actuals those Narratives are meant to manifest. Have we any doubt what Actuals the deployments of Biden and von der Leyen seek to manifest?

More so … what Actuals they knew were in the offing, and sought to remedy or distract from, such as the fall of Avdiivka just a few days later, and the tightening noose on Azov forces in the Donbas? Additionally, right on cue, actually, less than 12 hours after the news broke, Biden did our work for us by conflating the stalled aide packages with said Ukrainian defeat … as if it would have made any difference.

The Turn on Ukraine has been underway for months in earnest, but this turn is now hitting the Media Industrial Complex and the Globalist Establishment from too many directions for them to counter.

We've already seen Overton's Goalpost in full effect, as the NYT and other major Narrative setters were forced by the Putin-Tucker deployment to backpedal on previously-held stances regarding the CIA's involvement in the Prussian Proxy War. This pattern has been repeated in the EU, with Germany, France and the UK similarly implicated in kinetic operations against Crimea; so far, the EU is less willing to take full credit like the US Deep State has ... probably because Russia is right on their doorstep.

Now, the most damaging Narratives to the Globalist zeitgeist are coming out of Ukraine-friendly media, as sympathy for the Ukrainians on the ground is reaching a fever pitch, not in relation to the dastardly Russians, but rather because of the meat-grinder the Globalist War Machine truly is.

This section from ZeroHedge demonstrates the weariness and wariness hitting the Collective Mind regarding the whole affair, all while the same plays out in Gaza:

"They don’t have a well-established secondary line to pull back to," one analyst was cited in the Times as saying. Ukraine's leadership has long been mulling a new mass mobilization and conscription drive, which has received immense pushback from the war-wearied population. But instead of implementing that controversial measure domestically, President Zelensky is going a different route. He on Wednesday signed a decree opening up Ukraine's military forces to "foreigners and stateless persons." 

Has the Collectivist West adopted a posture bent on the seeking of peaceful resolution, or the war they’ve been programming into the collective western mind since the 1960s?

Russia is trying to tell the American people what’s happening … and what HAS been happening, whether the acting acronym at the time is CIA or NATO … three or four letters, it’s all coming from the same spot. There is no Ukraine vs. Russia. There is no Russia vs. US. There is us and there is them, and Putin is trying to help us focus on who they are. Have been. Always will be.

Just as Donald Trump has Stateside.

And before we go to what provoked the narrative panic pattern we’ve been revisiting today, let’s observe it escalating in the mouthpiece of NATO itself, as Jens Stoltenberg has been warning Russia about the increasing likelihood of an EU MIL response to his ‘incurson’ into the Donbas. Emmanuel Macron piled on, threatening kinetic action and French boots on the ground, the irony of which can’t be lost on those in west or east, I would hope.

Even the newest member of the Globalist bloc, Finland, is joining into the rhetoric, thereby confirming Russia’s long-term fears of the intent of western expansion into the east—not to his people, who have known the true aims of the Globalists longer than most in the west, but to the very Collective western mind Stoltenberg, Macron and Biden are meant to be speaking for, and to.

Putin’s response to said escalatory rhetoric has been deliciously blunt, recalling Trump’s direct nature by referring to NATO’s moves as largely “meaningless,” though he still deployed defense troops to the border of the Baltic States as any sane, responsible leader would.

And perhaps no EU satellite masquerading as a sovereign nation has stepped in more of the narrative hot water lately than Germany, now at the center of False Flagian controversies in the north and south, from Nord Stream 2 to Crimea.

Writer Andrew Korybko put all the madness well recently when he wrote,

“Scholz’s Slip Of The Tongue Spilled The Beans On Ukraine’s Worst-Kept Secret”, however, since he inadvertently revealed that there are already British and French troops there helping Ukraine with “target control”. The subsequently leaked Bundeswehr recording about bombing the Crimean Bridge confirmed that the Americans are there too. Nevertheless, what’s being proposed by Paris is a formalization of these deployments along with their gradual expansion in a “non-combat” capacity.

Russia is not on an island, however, as even beyond the BRICS nations, others in the east of the European continent are bucking against the chains of their would-be masters, with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic saying, "What is happening now is madness … They all thought that Putin would be easily defeated. Now they see that this is not so."

Bluntly stated, in keeping with the rhetoric of Putin, Trump … and Hungarian leader and long-time thorn in the side of the Globalist establishment, Viktor Orban.

Or did you miss the recent meeting between Orban and Trump, in which the two discussed, of all things, the state of international border security?

The white pill inherent in this aggressive posture shift by the establishment—and the continued conflation in the War of Stories between Trump, Orban, Putin and other sovereign-minded, nationalist, populist leaders—however, came a short while later, when the EU’s industry commissioner Thierry Breton called for the need for Europe to shift into a “war economy mode” in order to balance its need to continue existing with its failure to extract kinetic deployments from the US MIL in order to keep the Russian bear at bay.

Of course, I might have interpreted that last bit myself. Still, Breton’s own words were encouraging enough, as recorded by Reuters:

Breton, a French former tech company CEO, has also said the possibility of another U.S. presidential term for Donald Trump - who has questioned Washington's commitments to NATO - means Europe has to do more to protect itself.

"In the current geopolitical context, Europe must take greater responsibility for its own security, regardless of the outcome of our allies’ elections every four years,” Breton said.

Russia’s war in Ukraine has prompted many European countries to increase defence spending.

That, my friends, is narrative retreat on a battlefield comprised almost entirely of narrative itself …

Oh, and have we mentioned that notorious War Hawk and color revolution specialist Victoria Nuland recently “stepped down?”

ZeroHedge noted:

Recall … that she ran point for Obama's regime change "democracy promotion" efforts in Ukraine. In 2014, a leaked audio clip posted to YouTube caused deep embarrassment for the State Department amid accusations the US was coordinating coup efforts using the ongoing "Maidan Revolution" to oust then President Viktor Yanukovych.

In that leaked phone call, Nuland told US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt "F*ck the EU" - for which she was later forced to apologize.

She had also been instrumental in her prior postings at the State Department in Obama's disastrous Libya intervention. During her initial 'retirement' during the Trump years, she had been part of various think tanks, including the hawkish Brookings Institution, where she was a fierce critic of Trump's supposed "appeasement" of Putin. She's also long argued for deeper military intervention in Syria. 

What’s particularly interesting about Nuland’s departure is the fact that she’s being replaced by John Bass, who “oversaw” the botched Kabul withdrawal of 2021, something that Just Human has speculated represented the consummation of the Doha Agreement more so than the disaster it’s been framed as.

The Deep State ‘lost’ their war in Afghanistan on Nuland’s (Biden’s) watch, which was as Actually beneficial for the Middle East (and us,) as it was Narratively catastrophic for the Biden Regime, a Regime that has not been above water in aggregate polling since that August 2021 deployment framed as a debacle.

On an Actual level, the Taliban have seemingly made good on their end of the Trump-era deal, using the US weapons and equipment cashes ‘left behind’ by the Biden withdrawal to systematically hunt down and destroy the remnants of ISIS, that reviled den of villainy Trump has been conflating with the Obama Regime and the Deep State at large since before he announced his run for president.

In summary, Bass was installed by Trump, kept on by Biden, and now, on the eve of potential withdrawals overseas, he’s back. And now, we’re told there are fears of a botched withdrawal from Syria, where Nuland wanted to be further entrenched, alongside Iraq.

“Afghanistan-style.”

“US Proxies.”

The line between the enemy’s lies and the truths that nest at the heart of them grows increasingly threadbare thin. That, or our ability to understand, observe and discern the patterns within their obfuscation nets has grown by leaps and bounds—a feature of the awakening rather than a bug, and one I discussed at length recently:

By taking this Skill-Observation contradiction that is not a contradiction to heart, and then applying it to our analysis of the Info War and the War of Stories that overlays it, we might better reconcile ‘Negative Narratives-Positive Actuals’ paradox that I believe forms the core foundation of patriots’ Reverse Hegelian Dialectic, something I have long referred to as the ‘Good Reset,’ and which I believe to be in process.

As for the Actual-Narratives that converge rather than contrasting, they lost their most lucrative proxy war, hence the desperation to get another spun up in its wake.

And yet, in just two short years, the enemy has lost the plot in Ukraine, just like they did in Kabul—a proxy war that lasted a generation—and just like they will in all other proxy theaters of proxy war for the establishment regime.

Don’t believe me? Listen to the Pope, who has called for Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to demonstrate the ‘courage of the white flag’ to sue for peace, a call that was soundly rejected by the Prussian Proxy himself, Zelenskyy, who is as much [theirs] these days as Trump is, something I wrote about at length last year in ‘Wolves at the Door.’

The Pope’s deployment followed one by the main Narrative-setter out of the EU, aptly named ‘The Guardian,’ who recently announced to its readership what we’ve been saying for two years: Russia is firmly entrenched, sanctions have backfired and the NATO bloc is crumbling on both an Actual and Narrative level.

All of the above is just one small example of a Panic Pattern, a Macro coalescing many Micros.

What provoked all this panic, then? What provoked all these fresh stories directed toward the Russian Federation, with suspect Actuals mixed in for good measure?

A conversation. And a fascinating one.

When Tucker Carlson announced that he would be sitting down with one of the leaders of the new Sovereign world, the deployment ahead of the deployment provoked enough of a shock response within the Media Industrial Complex to draw more than a little curiosity by layers in the Collective Mind—and yes, even within the Normie MAGA contingent and former FOX faithful—to sign up for Elon Musk’s ‘X’ platform in record numbers to see what all the fuss is about.

What followed was an Actual Narrative (less a contradiction in terms and more an accurate framing of the realities of the Info War) that left many with a takeaway from the start of the interview that holds upon reflection: Tucker wasn’t the one conducting said interview.

Vladimir Putin held court, while Tucker—wittingly or not—acted as a cypher through which the leader could communicate what he felt was worth communicating the an American Mind temporarily and increasingly freed from the shackles of full top-down informational control.

This is why one of the most seismic narratives to spin out of the conversation was the fact that Tucker himself had once (unsuccessfully) applied to be one of the very literal intel operatives in the CIA he has spent the better part of his storied career selling stories ostensibly calling out. It was a shrewd, brilliant chess move by Putin at the start of the interview to inform Tucker’s audience of this highly inconvenient truth for a man who is more a brand these days, and one built on the supposed antithesis to the CIA and all its end goals.

When Tucker ended the interview with a section calling for the release of an American journalist held in Russian custody, Putin replied with another beauty, forwarding his belief that said ‘journalist’ “wasn’t working for Monacco.”

And yet, I don’t believe Putin was entirely condemning Tucker, nor would I, but rather prepping the cognitive battlefield with a framing that breaks framing from the start: Putin’s move allowed him to seize the initiative, and to get all observers of the ensuing conversation/address to agree on one core, foundational truth:

‘Everyone is trying to program you,’ Putin was saying, ‘even me.’ And especially journalists.

Eagle-eyed and eared readers and viewers of my work here and on Badlands Media might be tickled to know that is also the tagline of DEFECTED, a podcast I do with Just Human on the tenets of Narrative Warfare. He came up with the descriptor, and he made sure we don’t hold ourselves separate from its implications.

I recently discussed the concept of Info War Initiative with Jon Herold when he filled in for Kyle on that very program:

In the very act of communication, framing is both implied and codified. It is in the honesty of that premise in which we might leave suspicion to the side and engage with the information—or with the argument—that follows, not because we think the speaker or writer has altruistic, objective or truthful intentions, but rather because he has been honest that he DOES have intentions that, by definition cannot be known to the observer.

It is ever and always up to the sovereign individual to be the custodian of his own mind, and to guard it from attempts to convince or subvert.

Vladimir Putin informed Tucker’s viewership that Tucker once tried to join the very intel agency—also known as the key subversive element in the western world—he has built his brand ‘combating,’ while clearly laying out his own biased, subjective and entirely intentional framing of his nation’s role in the current transition era the Great Awakening has witnessed.

In effect, Putin refused to talk down to the audience, like Tucker is wont to do, and so, from the start, his philosophical approach to communication mirrored one Donald Trump in its blunt, direct and (mostly) honest nature, even if his demeanor and delivery could not paint a more stark—and welcome—contrast.

The earth-shaking conversation between Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin wasn’t earth-shaking because of its content, but rather because it occurred in the first place, and if the content of that conversation itself wasn’t evidence enough of that fact, the panic pattern I laid out above should be.

As for the meat of the interview, I laid out what I hoped to see prior to its airing:

Subsequently, this is what I felt we ultimately got in the immediate aftermath of the deployment:

In effect, I would say it was largely nothing new to those of us who’ve been digging into the recent (last 100 years or so) history of Russia and all it has been through, and how it has been framed by the western Globalist powers that would be and have been. And yet, the exposure that there IS another side—biased and subjective though it might be—to the Russia Dilemma was and is itself news to the vast majority of the western mind, and if this interview did little more than dislodge a pebble on a vast mountainside of weaponized obfuscation over these very subjects, it will have been well worth it, as sometimes, pebbles can herald avalanches.

Tucker himself believed Putin’s opening monologue on just a small piece of the vast history of Russia was an attempt to filibuster, an assumption he later amended after perceiving Putin’s earnest belief that such information—such narrative groundwork and framing—was of the utmost importance when it came to engaging with any back-and-forth to follow.

After all, how is one meant to engage with the mind of a supposed enemy OR ally if one does not know him, or his people?

Rather than bloviating, I saw this history lesson as an attempt not to humanize Putin, but his people.

We are not different, Russians and Americans, Putin was suggesting. We should not consider ourselves as such.

What followed was a rapid-fire summary of everything from the Maidan Coup and the CIA’s role in it, the Toothless Sanctions of the Western Hegemon and its proxy pattern of violence visited on the Donbas, allusions to the rigging of western elections—Putin was particularly tickled by the concept of States attempting to decide who is eligible to run for an office that represents the entire citizenry—NATO expansion and provocation, to references to Neo-Nazis, and even some interesting comms about Zelenskyy’s father fighting them, another hints at Zelensky’s role in all this, as Putin claimed the man who “considers himself the president” of Ukraine wasn’t the one ultimately calling the shots.

“We could have stopped hostilities a year ago,” Putin said in one aside, while following it with the more direct, “If Ukraine refused to negotiate, I assume it to be the work of Washington.”

These Proxy comms were summarily echoed by the Western Hegemon directly.

To wit, an NYT piece about the CIA waging a "Spy War" in Ukraine for "decades" recently went viral for all the right reasons on our side of the Info War, and all the wrong reasons on [theirs.]

What's especially enticing about this seeming narrative about-face by THE narrative-setter of the Globalist Hegemon is the fact that it's being mirrored by a series of similar rhetorical retreats by other MSM outlets along parallel tracks.

While the NYT frames the CIA (one of the most hated agencies in the world and the one that drew the most fire from Putin in this instance) as clandestine heroes, WAPO chose a different theater to backtrack in, reporting that the US Military Industrial Complex and Deep State at large view the Ukraine-Russia conflict as a "bountiful opportunity."

They can couch that language in as many asides about key learnings and MIL strategy as they want, but the language stood out to an audience grown both weary and increasingly wary of the central narrative and its progenitors.

The NYT ‘revealing’ how the CIA secretly helps Ukraine fight Putin—and has been helping for decades—made corporeal real the ephemeral and ghostly visages of the shadow war whispered about in the dregs of the internet, where normies dare not tread (you are here;) furthermore, this narrative aboutface marking narrative convergence with the truth and recalls the Overton’s Goalpost cypher of narrative retreat … a pattern that will and is eventually leading to convergence with Putin’s Narratives.

In effect, both sides agree on who the enemy is:

Each other.

Now, it remains to be seen which side the Collective western mind wants to be associated with.

This pattern of narrative acceleration seems to have resulted in a narrative and shizophrenic cascade in the MSM, with the Atlantic firing shots at the NYT for its partisan nature … an utterly fascinating and almost paralyzing example of the cognitive dissonance inherent in being a communist propagandist writ large.

On the international scene, this panic pattern manifested in Denmark recently joining Sweden in dropping its investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline, citing insufficient grounds on which to continue looking into the case, which is a slight spin on Sweden's own excuse that it didn't have the jurisdiction to continue the investigation ... something it apparently took them over a year to determine.

Buried in the reporting in both instances is the tantalizing morsel that Germany is still continuing its own investigation into the matter, but that it is unknown whether or not any report will be made public.

This makes sense to conspiracy theorists (also known as people who are right about almost everything all the time,) as many of us suspect Germany itself to have signed off or actively participated in the CIA-planned sabotage of its own energy infrastructure in a false flag meant to draw the enforcement arm of the western hegemon (also known as the US MIL,) into direct conflict with Russia.

Thank God for Devolution.

And if that wasn’t juicy enough—or serendipitous, depending on your framing—Germany was subsequently implicated in that very act by leaked phone calls emanating from its own military, with the Crimean Bridge incident now being linked to Germans.

Of course, German Chancellor Olaf Sholz is taking it all quite seriously. Very seriously, even.

The irony not lost on many, of course, is the fact that they’re not concerned by the falsity of the claims of their involvement in the sabotage of Russian infrastructure—and Russian deaths—but by the opposite, by the leaks themselves, and the implications of the Russians (and normies) learning that fact.

It’s not about the military or National Security implications, but rather the public mandate; the story has been threatened, not the war, because the story IS the war.

The summary point here is that it is not clear to an increasing plurality of the Collective Mind that the war between NATO and Russia has already been underway for two years, despite narratives to the contrary … and now that the people know this is the case, it is clear that Russia has truly been the de-escalatory party; this has forced a Narrative Panic Pattern to emerge within NATO; either back off, or dive in deeper.

A sobering projection as to where things could go from here, as Narrative Convergence with the truth results in the permanent loss of mandate for the Globalist Hegemon recalls the Scare Event refrain and all manner of False and Flagging potentialities.

Still, Putin seemed to offer this perspective knowing what the (current) response would be from the acting head of the western hegemon, and so, he sought to present the conflict in different terms rather than waxing poetic as to an end that likely won’t come to be actualized until the west (or someone leading it) decides it will.

The media cover and role in this panic pattern is also revealing to an increasing plurality of the Normie Layers of the Collective Mind that the MSM is itself a three-letter agency masquearading as an estate meant to check it.

In the end, the line of demarcation between Russia and the west has been drawn over the failure by the latter to negotiate in good faith with the former, according to Putin, something Trump has directly echoed and offered to remedy from our side of the game board.

Perhaps one of the more sobering and interesting points Putin hammered home with Tucker was the framing of the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a civil war provoked and perpetuated by the very powers ostensibly seeking to ‘end it’ on their own terms.

And now, we have Transnistria asking for the same, codifying Putin’s historical stance while revealing the Hegelian framing of the enemy. After all, has not the EU been signaling Russia vs. Moldova since the Special Military Operation kicked off in the Donbas in February 2022? It’s almost like they had this percolating crisis in the chamber for safe keeping.

While occupying almost no portion of the attention of the Collective Mind until now, Transnistria saw its own referendum to join the Russian Federation—this one taking place in 2006 as opposed to the Donbas’s version in 2014—similarly ignored by the Globalist puppet masters lording over them. A 2022 change in the framing of the embattled and disputed territory as de facto Russian to “Russian-occupied” takes on morbid and threatening overtones in the current climate.

All over the European continent, it seems we can find Russians seeking Unification with their ancestral lands and bloodlines framed as war by the Prussian heirs that kicked it off.

This Nazi framing recalls Part 6 of Righteous Russia, ‘The Trick,’ in which we explored the unfurling reality that the Nazis never actually left in the aftermath of the World Wars, but rather rebranded:

When we refocus on world events under this perspective, we see Nazi battalions in Ukraine that were installed by the Obama-Biden Regime being exposed during the second coming of the very same, and by a renewed Russian empire that had its fill of the Prussian filth the last time around. We see the sins of the American empire being rendered plainly in the form of biolabs that violate every written and unwritten convention humanity is meant to abide by, and we see them being neutralized by Russian strategy and might, and while the true leaders of our lands wait just offstage, allowing the Pretenders to be exposed.

What many of us in the Truth community picked up on early on will only become clear to the mass collective of western society with the hindsight that exposure will bring: Vladimir Putin meant every word of his pre and post-incursion speeches. His stated mission of denazifying Ukraine takes on the feeling of a crusade more than a political end or a global entreaty through this filter.

You see, Donald Trump is not the only leader who communicates with multiple tongues and to multiple audiences when he speaks.

Why, then, does the public need to be primed for the great, inevitable ‘return’ of the Nazis in the ongoing, cresting opera that is the central story at the heart of the Mind War?

Because they never left.

“Who are these people?” Putin asked repeatedly throughout his sit-down with Tucker, ostensibly in reference to the true controllers in the west—a question that spiderwebs in many ways, and while many Normies won’t engage with it on a conscious level, I would submit to you that they are beginning to engage with it subconsciously.

As for Putin’s views on the current leadership of the west, his references to George Bush were interesting, not because he called him smart, but because of what it signals: that the evil of the establishment is intentional, coordinated and planned. Subsequent mentions of Obama were scathing and tied into Putin’s ire toward the CIA, while mentions of Biden implied a lack of respect and control, either a nod to Obama in the basement theories or the most likely and encouraging Devolution of it all.

In the end, Putin wanted his bipartisan American audience to know that Bush and Obama KNEW what they were doing the whole time they were doing it, and so, those are men Putin can understand, either as allies or enemies, while Biden decidedly and obviously does NOT have specific aims in mind, but is rather aimed by those who do.

Who else does Putin understand, then, and why were mentions of Donald Trump so sparing?

Perhaps the answer lies within the question itself.

For his part, Trump was seeding his own Narratives re: NATO on the same timeline, beginning the same day Putin sat down with Tucker, in fact.

Strange, isn’t it? If you flipped the context just a bit, Trump’s rhetoric about NATO freeloading and escalation doesn’t sound so far off from the meat of Putin’s stance, now does it? Which is doubly interesting considering it is ostensibly Putin himself that Trump is supposed to save the EU from.

Trump’s parallel narrative deployments were and are a reminder that there are many Mind-Movers on the game board of the War of Stories, and Trump’s deployments at this time prompted the Media Industrial Complex to admit that NATO is considering how to ‘go it alone’ in the wake of a second Trump Admin.

Contrary to being escalatory with Russia, such a development would prove to be the exact opposite, as NATO will not encroach on Russian territory without the direct or implied backing of the US military and, excepting that, US funding. With BOTH cut off, the entire Proxy War apparatus that has kept the EU afloat ceases to exist, putting Putin and Russia in the driver’s seat regarding relations with the western hegemon outside of the US as a new sovereign, populist power bloc rises in eastern Germany that is being mirrored in the western collective.

The awakening, it is said, will spread worldwide, and we’re seeing this in effect. Russia may just be ahead of the game, as they’ve already lived under the yoke of Bolsheviks AND the corrupt oligarchs masquerading as new capitalists who replaced them.

And isn’t it fascinating that, just days after this seismic interview, citizen journalists at Public and Racket relit the Russiagate Hoax fuse by adding fresh fuel to a fire Anons and Trump himself have been stoking for years in the form of a report that suggest Trump declassified the evidence that the outgoing Obama Admin did exactly what he’s been claiming they did for both of his terms (public and shadowed,) and attempted to pre-empt his presidency by seeding the very scandals that were meant to undo him?

Talk about a Narrative pincer move between Putin and Trump: Putin asks repeatedly who’s actually in charge in the west, while we’re reminded that Trump was trying to tell the American people exactly that throughout his term, and now, as the Witch Hunt Obama started continues under his supposed puppet.

This takes wrap-up smear to a whole new level, and while Anons may be wont to dismiss it or roll their eyes at the utter predictability of it—or the fact that they knew it all along—I would be remiss if I didn’t point to my peer Just Human’s oft-repeated refrain that there are things we believe, even strongly, and things we KNOW, that enter the public record and are then codified therein.

The foundational conspiracy theory that Donald Trump and his army of digital soldiers have been shouting from the rooftops for almost a decade, now—that the Deep State mobilized in defense of its corrupted institutions against him, and by extension, against all of us—is edging closer to exposing the fact of the actual conspiracy.

By flipping the Russiagate script with Actuals to go along with it rather than all-caps Tweets and Truths, the American Mind is being primed not just to reevaluate the FIRST major controversy surrounding Trump and the movement he inspired, but to allow that new perspective to cascade to everything that followed … which is a whole lot, in case you forgot.

The continued exposures and RE-exposures spilling out of the Trump Witch Hunt have the potential to recontextualize not just the entirety of the Trump Admin to the Normie Hivemind, but also to seed questions as to why the Deep State didn’t just fear him … but him AND Putin, so desperate were they to poison the well on any relationship between the two before such a pairing bore the most unkind fruit for them, and most promising for us.

Won’t it be poetic—planned, even—if the story that largely started it all in the public mind is the one that undoes them?

Seeding. Germination. Harvest.

The inversion and culmination of the Russia Conspiracy in all three layers (the story they told, the story we were told—that Trump did NOT collude with Russia—and the truth, which is a delightful combination of the two, albeit not in a way the enemy can admit, lest it codify the Sovereign Alliance and their opposition to it,) will simultaneously transport the Collective Mind back to the impetus while inverting the animus, and pointing that ire in the right direction … against the very same ‘shadowed leadership’ Putin focused the bulk of his ire on when directed at the west, which is anything but what it has portrayed itself to be.

This pattern of establishment exposure certainly isn’t being relegated to our shores, as the US population was already paying more attention to this leadership, as Boris Johnson is under fire in the UK for his purported role in refusing to deescalate Russia-Ukraine (claims with more Actuals by the month,) all while NATO runs drills while threatening decades-long confrontation with Russia, and all while the US Department of Defense is seeing a major (and majorly concerning) shake-up in the direction of DEI over national defense and preparedness.

And of course, we need pay no attention to the narratives swirling that “someone” is trying to kill Zelensky. Someone the Establishment media very much wants you to believe is Russia.

Keep in mind, as Jon Herold pointed out at the time, the Racket report doesn’t just expose the Obama Admin and the CIA in attempting to frame Donald Trump; it exposes the Five Eyes nations as closing ranks to do that very thing—the same nations that also closed ranks against the supposed scourge in the east represented by Vladimir Putin.

The issue with this attempt by the Deep State is that they were forced to propagandize the western world against two faux Hitlers at once, when a central villain is always more effective than one who shares the spotlight with another. This fearmongering split subsequently split the Collective Mind, rendering each less compelling, and less believable. And now, the framing is beginning to be inverted, as questions abound, many of them seeded by those supposed villains, and whose implications are reframing the supposed heroes.

With Devolution and continuity of government framing—and on the back of the exhaustive research compiled by Jon Herold—I am less concerned about the prospect of all-out war being actualized, and I think Putin going IN to the Donbas is one of the biggest tangential Devo and Sovereign Alliance proofs going. Devolution, as I have argued before, is meant to ensure we have a country to return to, which means we need a WORLD to return to in the interim, and with a new, emergent multi-polar world we should be excited to make our place in developing before our eyes, we’re set up for a serendipitous situation in which it would help to have the preeminent deal-maker of our age waiting in the wings to codify our place in the emergent mesh.

In fact, this framing even manages to put a tidy white pilled bow onto NATO’s bloviating, as a strengthened EU power bloc helps to ensure a more stable multi-polar future, rather than the continuation of the US Military Industrial Complex running roughshod over the map.

To wit, the major “claim” Putin seemed to forward in this interview revolved around peace talks and the west’s interference in them, something even the MSM is starting to affect a turn on.

To summarize: Vladimir Putin conducts an interview with Tucker Carlson (and yes, that framing is intentional,) in which he claims the Western Hegemon have directly prevented peace talks with Ukraine from progressing, a claim the Global South and East have fully endorsed for two years, while the US rejects the claims without allowing Ukrainian leadership to comment on them?

Additionally, while "three Russian sources" cited in the piece claim the above, the "one US source" denies it, saying nobody from Ukraine has officially been involved in the peace talks, and they would not engage otherwise. Of course, they don't say that the Western Hegemon have been the ones preventing Ukraine from doing that very thing.

The Ukraine underdog Narrative is out of steam, while the Proxy War Narrative heats up as the Biden Admin spirals, so, as Russia continues to put its diplomatic money where its mouth is, how much longer before the MSM turns on the (Deep) State Department that used to wield them by proxy?

It is and perhaps always will be the case that the US presidency retains the most attention of the Collective Mind, and so, reframing of all of the above must be done where it concerns the highest seat in the land.

And all of this occurs against the backdrop of the establishment—and the Media Industrial Complex—turning on the puppet in the White House even now, desperate to remove him for the greater good … or so they can continue to ‘fortify’ the house we built, and they stole.

Which outlines yet another pincer they’re caught in, and the one we opened this piece by touching on.

What a delightful headline to emanate from one of the key Narrative-setters in the political War of Stories—Politico.

In recent months, I've been commenting on the hand-wringing much of the MAGA base has been doing regarding the prospect that the Deep State could be looking to replace Joe Biden via the 25th Amendment route, specifically putting forth the Bicameral argument that they're screwed either way:

Replace Biden with someone worse and accelerate the mass psychological destruction of the Democratic party and the establishment media that propped him up on marionette strings; close ranks around him, and go down with the sinking ship as he continues to set legal and psychological precedents that will only help Trump going forward.

Now, the smarter voices within the Media Industrial Complex are guessing the game.

Do they know Biden is protected (just not by who you think,) and that they're stuck with him?

Is Biden—much like Zelenskyy—'our boy' in more ways than one?

Putin and Trump are remaking the cognitive game board all over the world, all while Biden bumbles his way through his own conference in front of a shockingly-hostile US media corps as he continues to skate (publicly) on the very crimes Trump is going after, while fending off increasingly-bloodthirsty calls for him to withdraw from the race, confusing Mexico with Egypt while being forced to defend his very cognition.

This clownish cascade is being codified through Actual legal opinions. Biden’s absurtidy is becoming case law.

ZeroHedge summarized the whole charade thusly:

Hours after last week's release of special counsel Robert Hur's report on Biden's handling of classified documents -- which described the president as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" and "diminished faculties" -- Team Biden pushed their man in front of reporters in a hopeless bid to demonstrate that his mind is fully intact.  

It backfired in various ways, most notably when Biden referred to Egyptian President Sissi as the president of Mexico -- in a week in which he'd already twice confused the dead male German chancellor Helmut Kohl with the living female Angela Merkel, and confused the late French president François Mitterand with President Emmanuel Macron. 

So, to summarize, while one world leader—Putin—was waxing poetic about continent and culture-spanning history, humanism and the long road to multi-polarity, mutually-enforced sovereignty and peace while elucidating on trade relations, GDP statistics and clandestine power projection … another was confusing Egypt with Mexico, ostensibly because you can find tan people in both spots.

Which might remind us that we ARE allowed to nurture a sense of humor through all the madness. In fact, one might be wise to.

With all of this in mind, if you’re not into the shadows on the wall interpretations of the Info War chronicled in ‘All the World’s a Stage,’ now’s the time to turn around, and look at the hands at the mouth of the cave, which I wrote about in December 2022:

The next time you see an announcement, a narrative deployment, a media blitz or even a purported ‘Actual Event’ on the world stage, remember that it can be less important to separate the real from the unreal in a war such as this, and more important to suss out the effects the forming story is visiting upon the Collective Mind, and ruminate on why.

When you do, you may just come away with a clearer idea of which characters will play which roles in the next Act, and which story beats are likely to emerge.

Doing so may make you akin to the forward-thinking viewer nobody wants to watch a mind-twister of a movie with, but it will also make you far more ready to absorb, analyze and engage with the questions the story presents rather than merely reacting to the emotional triggers it has been designed to trip.

Learn how to ask the right questions, and you’ll be one step closer to catching the answers as they flit by like motes of ash on the wind.

All the world’s a stage, my friends.

Or perhaps a series of stages—of windows—that seek alternatively to reveal and to obfuscate, depending on the hands, the minds and the characters that guide them.

The sooner you recognize this, the sooner you’ll begin to let go of the characters on the stage, the ‘events’ on the page and the themes on offer, and the sooner you’ll be able to focus on the unseen hands directing from on high, and look beyond the invisible frames of the windows that are paraded before you and see the dizzying, exhilarating, kaleidoscopic brilliance of the whole picture.

Unless, of course, you think it’s a coincidence that the entirety of the MSM is trying to pull Biden up root and stem as Trump surges in domestic polls while Putin rises in stature to the western audience.

Strength. Leadership. Power.

And its antithesis, represented by Biden and Brussels.

And all while many of the original deployments against Trump are coming back around on the establishment with a vengeance.

The first term set templates—not just Actual, but Narrative, which is to say, Mass Psychological. Because the key vector of victory in a Mind War is the Collective Mind itself, which is ruled by Mandate. Its own.

And while that mandate has been motivated through faux provacation—through manipulation—for decades, I believe we are entering an era in which it is being fought for a and fought over, in which it is being beckoned … in which it is being earned as the War of Stories graduates and transforms into a war of ideas.

And Trump and Putin are ideas codified into the shapes and wills of sovereign leaders, just as their enemies are the same, albeit in opposition.

“Change is happening at a much faster pace than in Roman times,” Putin said at one point in his interview, as the conversation moved over more esoteric and big picture subject matter, from the remembrance of Orthodox Christianity to the codification of peace through understanding and mutual enlightenment. After all, while Putin himself is a devout Christian, he claimed that all world religions “are essentially the same” where it matters.

It was this section of the conversation in particular that went a long way toward solidifying my somewhat-controversial stance that, in many ways, “the Russia of today is the America that America claims to be.”

Putin even discussed the concept of universal or inherent law, which I can say with some confidence I have not heard a world leader discuss … ever, and whose mention I hope provokes the Collective Mind into the discovery of what such laws consist of … and who broke them.

Where it concerns some of the subjects we discuss most frequently around these parts, the Devolution and Sovereign Alliance theories are never acknowledged directly, but they are hinted at through everything from Trump referencing Biden’s term as his second one, to Putin revealing in this interview that going into Ukraine prior to the current era—meaning, during the Obama and Bush Regimes—would have been bad for his nation, while simultaneously suggesting the Maidan Coup of 2014 was the “trigger” for a Special Military Operation he waited eight years to deploy—a contradiction that is only a contradiction if you fail to consider the possibility that US Devolution was as much about allowing other sovereign leaders to do what must be done than it was to expose the fraudulent US election system and Deep Administrative State.

Or, put another way, I have long believed that Trump had to be strategically “off the board” so that other sovereign leaders might make moves on it.

Overall, the panic patterns and narrative deployments discussed in this piece are meant to signal that the Macro Overton Window has been shifted unerringly forward by an impossible-to-reverse degree.

Putin is now a human being. A leader, and an active, engaged Mind-Mover of the Normie Hivemind … which has blunted the main, fictionalized and archetypal representations of him to even right-wing Americans.

And perhaps this is the turn we’re going to see play out among the American centrist and left regarding Donald Trump on our own shores, even if it’s difficult to imagine for many of us, given the breadth of the communist subversive rot and the depth of enemy programming this nation has suffered in the interim.

Nothing new under the sun refrains in terms of Putin and Russia-Ukraine revelations can sometimes lead one to cynicism, but the manner in which these Narratives are being rolled out suggests what I’ve been arguing for two years, now: it is of far greater importance to track Narrative deployments and Collective Mind engagement with said deployments than it is to track Actuals, as the Public Mandate for change only comes through awareness, which is delivered in the form of stories.

Some just take longer to come around than others.

Consider the damages the Ukraine fulcrum has visited on the world according to the Collective Mind:

While subsidized grain imports to the EU are causing continent-wide blockages and protests by EU farmers, accusations of money laundering by even western media stalwarts infect all financial stories about the Ukraine proxy war, all while cognitive dissonance assails the concept of western cohesion due to the implications of the Nord Stream 2 conspiracy and subsequent False Flags blamed on the Russian Federation, and all against the backdrop of the sanction war backfiring into the emergence of an anti-western, multi-polar world order.

We might believe these are good developments in this community, but the STORY of said developments is profoundly jarring and negative to the Normie Layers of the Collective Mind, and this rebalancing is undoubtedly visiting cognitive and psychospiritual pain in the short term, which manifests in CHANGE in the long-term.

After all, change of mind precedes change of reality.

And while we’ve discussed Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Joe Biden as Mind-Movers in this piece—for better and worse—Zelenskyy has gone from the crown proxy prince standing up to the evil empire to the clown prince of Prussian crime in short order, his recent firing of a general that preached life over territory being followed by the appointment of one known for the exact opposite.

The Story of Russia-Ukraine has exposed all manner of Macro Concepts and Templates to the Collective Mind, from Proxy Presidents, States and Wars to the history of NATO and Globalist hegemony, warfare masquerading as lawfare and the role the Military Industrial Complex USED to play before Devolution was ostensibly active on the game board.

But perhaps the biggest Proxy Seeding of all belongs to US Congress and, as usual, the Biden Admin, as they have refused to separate funding bills for US defense and infrastructure from those of three foreign entities: Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan … which looks mighty suspicious even with a Bicameral view of the matter:

From the enemy’s framing, they’re telling us exactly which foreign entities (read: proxies) they NEED to keep funding, which brings with it all manner of implications from laundering to more nefarious and kinetic operations; given patriot ghost in the machine framing some of us employ in our analysis of the Info War, the trinity of proxy states is being cemented in the Collective Mind in preparation for the revelations to come, and Ukraine has already kicked off the cascade.

If Ukraine is not what the American people have been told and sold it is—from Nazi batallions to the genocide of ethnic Russians—what does that say about the cognitive and conflict keystone of the Middle East, or of the main technology nation of the modern world, one that has acted as both a piggy bank and, more importantly, an R&D farm for the American Oligarchy in Taiwan?

Joe Biden is the biggest Narrative Shield walking, but I would argue his role as said shield in the US is actually secondary to his larger role as a Shield for the Sovereign Alliance, so that Putin and company could and can effect kinetic Actual moves on the game board in Trump’s absence, while giving Trump the permission to make like a Mullah and “save face” upon returning to office, negotiating deals to bring us into the future that this community knows are already well underway.

The Last War is a War of Stories, and the most dramatic of those stories is the one that suggests the Last War will be a real one.

To wit, Dmitry Medvedev’s warning about an apocalyptic response to NATO aggression has not gone unnoticed, as NATO enacts war drills even the Normie Layers of the Collective Mind are now suspicious of, given the ubiquity of ‘war games’ regarding everything from Disease X to Taylor Swift.

Medvedev’s role in the narrative is often to serve as Russia’s bad cop, which he doubled down on with a subsequent warning about striking out against the EU and Washington should Russia be threatened with a return to 1991 borders, a period of time that I think has multiple meanings … that leaves us with Putin as the good cop, but make no mistake, Putin’s gravitas suggests nothing is escaping the collective lips of the Kremlin without his say so, and the world knows this … now more than ever.

This suggests that the Scare Event template is still not only possible, but likely in the War of Stories, but if and when it arrives, I do not think Putin and Russia will be seen as the aggressor by as many unawakened minds as they might have circa 2014, the last time Globalists called his bluff and lost the Crimean peninsula in the process.

And a few weeks after the interview, at his State of the Union speech, Putin was more clear, blaming the western security state for the instability of the world:

“The United States and its satellites have, in fact, dismantled the European security system which has created risks for everyone.”

He subsequently said that Nuclear war was possible if Russia’s red lines were ever crossed—red lines that, according to “leaked MIL documents”, have a far lower threshold than originally believed … whatever that means.

And on and on the story—the pattern—goes …

5 hours. 3 headlines.

One sees Vladimir Putin himself speaking to his nation in a State of the Union that was serendipitously timed just before the POTATUS made his own attempt to rally a nation that knows he's a pretender fighting over the globalist scraps of a doomed empire while the true elected leader waits in the wings.

Another sees Lloyd Austin firing back ... the supposed Secretary of Defense for the main enforcement arm of said Globalist regime (also known as the US MIL, which many of us believe has been neutered via the Devolution operation so PsyOps and Narrative Seeding like this triple-decker in Hegelian propaganda can't be actualized like it might have if 'she' had won back in 2016.)

The third header, as mentioned, is sourced via "leaked" documents that allege Russia's threshold for defending itself with nuclear weaponry is "lower" than previously thought.

Basically, the MSM is telling Normies that Putin's "Fu*k around and find out" meter is almost out.

And Normies believe them.

So … they’re sort of doing our Info War job for us, now, which isn’t going to stop us from upping the ante.

Perhaps the most effective exchange in the Tucker conversation I’ve referenced quite a bit in this piece occurred when Putin asked a simple question in relation to, well … everything, and that question is, ‘Why?’ After all, it has always been the simplest, and most important question in human history, perhaps in creation …

To which Putin played the perfect UNO reverse card:

“Do the United States need this? What for? Thousands of miles away from your national territory. Don’t you have anything better to do?

You have issues on the border. Issues with migration. Issues with the national debt. More than 33 trillion dollars. You have nothing better to do, so you should fight with Ukraine?

Wouldn’t it be better to negotiate with Russia?”

These are questions the Collective Mind is asking every day, now, putting them in line with Vladimir Putin, and him with Donald Trump.

And so, the ‘We’re the baddies’ refrain ubiquitous in the Truth Community isn’t so much meant to be literal, but more so to shake the western populace into the recognition that the “We” is not what we’ve been told it is; our governmental establishment are merely Deep State communist scions effecting plans for world domination and perpetual war on our behalf, and using obfuscation—lies, in other words—in order to achieve consent through compliance. Whether or not you believe this makes us culpable is a matter open to debate, but in order to be withdrawn, it must first be recognized.

The beauty of the current setup of the War of Stories is that, even for Normies unable to come to grips with completely reordering the Western Hegemon’s role in the perpetuity of war—something especially difficult given generational programming since the advent and respective ‘rebalancing’ global order in their aftermath—is that they are still able to play along simply by marking the Biden Admin as feckless and the EU establishment as weak in the face of morally ambiguous, Machiavellian and opportunistic world leaders in Putin and Xi Jinping, neither of whom are to be trifled with.

In short, just like liberals don’t have to see Trump as “good” in order to see him as necessary, Trump supporters don’t need to have even a passing awareness of the Sovereign Alliance to understand that having a leader who is ALSO not to be trifled with makes sense in the current global landscape.

While we will see deals and agreements between this trinity of leaders as the actualization phase (disclosure, more like) of an alliance that took down a globalist cabal, most of the Normie Layers will see it as varying degrees of capitulation and domination via posturing … all of which is perfectly acceptable framing, since it reaches the same endgoal. In fact, I would argue that, the more who engage with this framing under a War of Stories refrain, the less effective the codification of the lessons inherent in this period of time is likely to be.

And the Deep State has seeded the story that is now being used against them, as explored in Part 1:

Peace through strength, they told us. The tiger is cunning, but afraid, they promised. But someday, it will attack. Someday, when our back is turned. When we are surrounded. When we abandon our friends, whom we need. When we reject globalism and collectivism. Then, the tiger will strike, and we will have the Final War, the war embedded into the subconscious mind of every Western Man of the last century.

A war that will be embraced, because it has been willed. Because it is destiny.

A war that will never arrive.

Despite of and because of the necessity of the War of Stories, there remains Narrative distance between Trump and Putin, albeit with growing and obvious convergence in terms of philosophies.

They are unified against the Establishment Globalists, even if not against each other.

And so, while I don’t think Putin came off as a hero in his sit-down with Tucker to the Normie Collective Mind, he is actually an even more frightening adversary precisely because he is so in control, so cunning, and has such open disdain for the Biden Admin, while the MSM itself seeded the very prospect that he and Trump have a good relationship, something neither has attempted to disavow.

In Part 4 of Righteous Russia, I laid out the following Macro scenario:

In the wake of all this, Trump will either be reinstated or reelected by We, the People, and as his first act as our returned Commander-in-Chief, he will ‘demand’ peace with Vladimir Putin, Russia and perhaps China, should they join the great game in the intervening months of engineered turmoil.

Trump is not a man who will sue for peace. He does not plead. He does not beg. Trump will not request peace. He will have it, and Vladimir Putin will share in it.

When the two leaders—the two Emperors—finally shake hands once more on the world stage, they will be known as Peacemakers. Their enemies will have been exposed and weakened, if not eliminated, and their sovereign mandates, both implied and codified will be ironclad.

Through them, the beginnings of a sovereign mesh of peace will begin to take shape, with Putin having the opportunity to unify former Soviet States from the Baltics to the Balkans as Trump takes the lead in the west—sovereigns lifting up smaller sovereigns against current and future attempts at centralization and subversion.

Why take this road, then? Why make peace the means of waging war on the invisible enemy?

Because, in order for Trump and Putin—and perhaps others who have yet to make their loyalties known—to command the sort of international goodwill they will need to stabilize a world dealing with the fallout of the biggest unveiling of political and economic corruption in history, they must not be viewed as conquerors, but rather as unifiers. They cannot be destroyers, but builders.

For Trump, his entire life has been about building. And the campaign that saw him unify large blocks of disaffected and abandoned voters was built on promises of building.

Similarly, this recalls Putin’s fascination with Peter the Great, the last true Emperor of Russia and a man with grand ambitions for his people.

And in order to build, one must first tear down.

The Deep State and all its apparatus is the collective rot in a foundation that must be thrown from its perch and ripped from its anchors, and the theaters of real and fake, bright and shadowed wars anons have been parsing for the better part of five years—and some, for the better part of their lives—have reached a stage of unsustainable public acceleration due in no small part to the plans set in motion by the patriots of the United States and Russia.

If I may borrow a phrase many of you might be familiar with, and that comes clearer with each passing media firestorm and cabalistic defeat on the world stage, we are witnessing the systematic destruction of the old guard.

And out of the ashes, the world will be ripe for renewal. In order to ensure that the new world is built to last, however, it must be built on a foundation of ruthless peace. 

In order to make peace, two leaders must first seem on the verge of war. In order to be seen as unifiers, the prospect of doing so must seem insurmountable.

Does the current world situation regarding Vladimir Putin and Russia seem like—on the surface—it’s heading toward a cordial, peaceful and ultimately satisfactory resolution for concerned citizens of supposedly sovereign nations around the world?

Putin, Trump and those like them are not Change Engines. They’re matches who’ve been waiting for something to catch.

We’re the catch. The Great Awakening is the fire.

And it’s already too bright, bolt and beautiful to put out.

We’re the Change Engines.

Righteous Russia asks a few seismic questions:

1. Who is the Enemy of all Sovereign Nations?

2. Who is the Deep State? Who are the Globalists?

3. What World Leaders are the Globalists aligned against?

4. Who is the Enemy of my Enemy?

Putin’s conversation with the premier journalist in the west has been viewed over 200 million times … and while it hasn’t provided the answers to these questions, it has provided the questions themselves.

And questions, asked often enough, and earnestly, will save the world.

It doesn’t hurt that the resultant cascade of engineered answers out of the intel agencies—all of the three-letter ones, including the MSM—helped further codify the questions … this is the narrative trend the normie layers of the Collective Mind are observing.

Putin is real, now … corporeal, at least, and so is the nation state behind him, and the prospect of its peoples and their desires.

Other Mind-Movers on the game board, including Elon Musk, who provided the platform for this infamous conversation in the first place, are moving the ball in a direction that is continuing the awakening, shattering the barely clung-to dream for the left and even some centrists that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is anything but a Russian victory in the waiting.

Even Hunter Biden is doing his part, fleshing out the lore from his own days in Ukraine, as reported by Breitbart:

Greene also confirmed Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-KY) statement that Hunter testified he joined the board of Burisma Holdings to counter Russian aggression. “He said he was picked to serve on Burisma ‘s board to defend democracy and Burisma was stopping Russian aggression,” Greene said.

Hunter’s stated purpose for joining Burisma’s board is a new claim that indicates bizarre reasoning never before revealed.

In 2015, Burisma was under suspicion of money laundering and public corruption. Prosecutor Victor Shokin investigated the case before his termination due to pressure from then-Vice President Joe Biden, who threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma.

Joe Biden later bragged about the firing during a 2018 appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations.

How serendipitous, for all of these narratives to be converging today …

Biden and Burisma. Nuland and Maidan. The CIA and … basically everything …

It may be something most in this community understood two full years ago, shortly after the video game footage of the alleged invasion first began circulating, and before Ghosts of Kiev took to the skies only to live up to their names in the most fittingly absurd manner imaginable, but the world is not—has not been—what we have been told it is.

This is old hat to us, but, rather than fussing over the respective colors of the hats worn by the various ancillary characters in the play, consider the net effects of the play itself. The Story, and consider who it is for.

These Mind-Movers work in a Narrative Cascade, like dominoes, but some are gravitational forces for stories themselves. Trump is one in the west. Putin is so in the east. Theirs are the fingers that tip the first shivering block, and Xi Jinping has yet to make his presence fully known in terms of the Crisis Cascade … rather, the story of it to us, and the reality to them.

The reckoning with the real can only truly begin when we reconcile the false.

We’ve been told stories about everything. Even reality. The Normie Layers of the Collective Mind are being confronted with this tension between real and its antithesis with increasing frequency.

‘Are you confident in the stories you’ve been told?’ the Collective Mind is being asked.

How do you think they would answer today?

For all the fear-mongering from the one side and posturing from the other, the signal—the truth—tends to be hinted at by the persuasion and tenor of the chaos itself, which side is seeking to escalate it and which to douse it. And sometimes, when even the direction of intent of all the storytellers can’t be easily sussed out, the story being painted comes into focus, and the world it would seek to create. One we have a say in.

So, whatever you think of Putin’s sit-down with Tucker Carlson, his State of the Union and the stories he told therein, the word ‘control’ comes to mind, albeit not in the way the traditional, would-be controllers would like, as any reading of said interview that doesn’t come away—positively or negatively—with the overwhelming impression that Putin was and is in control of both the Actuals and Narratives spinning out of the east is missing a game that’s already been lost (or won, depending on your perspective.)

You either get to believe Putin, in part, or the entirety of the western globalist hegemon’s narrative machine being arrayed against his people before and since.

To wit, just a month later, Putin appears on the verge of winning another term as President, which the western media apparatus was all too eager to attempt to taint:

The beginning of Russia's three-day election weekend was marred by protests, military conflict and reported cyber attacks as President Vladimir Putin is all but certain to be elected to serve another six-year term.

Moscow officials were once again accused by Western officials and Russian adversaries of tipping the country's presidential election in Putin's favor ahead of polls opening on Friday. Several of Putin's challengers were running campaigns from behind bars or were blocked from appearing on the presidential ballot. If things continue to go as planned for Putin, due to a law he signed in 2021, the Kremlin leader could stay in power until 2036.

Arrests were made at several polling stations Friday after protesters poured dye into ballot boxes in Moscow, Crimea and the Karachayevo-Cherkessia region, according to Russian media reports. One of such instances was captured on camera and shared to X, formerly Twitter, by Washington Post Moscow bureau chief Robyn Dixon. The footage shows a woman pour a dark-colored dye into a ballot box at an unspecified polling location, and she is almost immediately detained by a law enforcement officer. —NewsWeek

Many. Such. Cases.

The Deep State doesn't fear Russia or Putin alone.

They fear Russia AND America. Putin AND Trump.

(Hell, even Hillary Clinton emerged from her cobwebbed cupboard to continue converging and conflating the two.)

They fear the Sovereign Alliance is real.

And the greater piece of that revelation is reserved for the smaller grouping—that of the Globalist elite we’ve chronicled in this series and beyond, who are just now coming to terms with the true implications of Biden’s continued charade … and of Trump’s impending return, quite as if he’d never left at all.

Dismay and disbelief is the mood of the day, and what a glorious mood it is … at least, for us.

My friend GhostofBasedPatrickHenry pointed out what has to be one of the most glaring and encouraging admissions by the Media Industrial Complex we’ve seen in some time:

During his 19 overseas trips as president, Donald Trump made headlines by muscling his way through a crowd of fellow leaders to the front of a group photo and siding with Russia's Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman over his own intelligence agencies, called North Korea's murderous dictator "very honorable" and threatened to pull the U.S. from the NATO military alliance.

And if that wasn’t enough for you …

I think Vladimir Putin may have just delivered his most Devolution-related public comm yet, ahead of Russia's presidential elections:

"Apart from (US President Joe) Biden, there are enough other experts in the sphere of Russian-American relations and strategic restraint. So I don’t think that everything is going to go head-on here, but we are ready for it," Putin said to Rossiya-1.

With Donald Trump out of (public) power, the entire international game board has been undergoing a rapid shift away from collectivism and toward sovereignty and the multi-polar world concept advanced by Putin, Xi Jinping, Mohammed bin Salman AND ... Donald Trump.

The Scare Event is a Story.

The Sovereign Alliance is real. And …

For the Media Industrial Complex, the Globalist Regime and the Deep State … all various manifestations of the same corrupt rot that has marred this world and terrorized all peoples for too long, we might ask a simple, now-rhetorical question:

Why so serious?

The enemy fears what they do not control, and the Deep State does not control the men I believe are a part of the greatest alliance ever formed, nor do they control the peoples that support them, that installed them as their chosen totems.

These men are not saviors. They are symbols and cyphers … for us. Just as the nations they would lead are cyphers and symbols, constructs unto themselves.

Sovereignty radiates outward.

It is inherent, not granted.

This is THE First Principle, and the greatest trick the Devil (and his servants) ever pulled was in making us forget it.

The United States, originally, didn’t represent a construct with powers in and of itself. It is (or was) rather, representative of its sovereigns (of us,) rather than itself being a Sovereign construct layered atop them.

The United States was a story, an announcement and a statement of sovereign intent, just like the Declaration that affirmed it and the constitution that codified it.

That story has been corrupted and commandeered, potentially going all the way back to the Civil War, and our fates have been ruled by lesser masters with greater animus.

Change each of our stories, and we change the shared story we were meant to inherit.

We are the energy the Deep State seeks to both control and siphon, but we’ve begun to remember ourselves.

He who controls the story controls the war. He who controls the war controls the world.

Stories have been used to enslave us. Now, they’re being used to set us free.

Don’t fear the next chapter. Anticipate it.

Don’t get lost in an examination of the Mind-Movers. Focus instead on the Moving Mind.

The Reckoning Real the Collective Mind will be forced to reconcile most may just be how fake their world—their story—has actually been.

As for the Globalist Regime, the Criminal Cabal, the Deep State or any other number of names the dark forces of this world have taken or been marked with, whether it’s Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin … or even Joe Biden, it looks like they’re stuck with him.

Just like they’re stuck with us.

We’re not leaving. We’re not retreating. We’re not quitting.

The Great Awakening wasn’t a promise, but a declaration of war.

A War for Peace … and of it.

A War that will be won, that WAS won as soon as it was declared.

Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.

Note from the author: ANOTHER lengthy one … actually, it was the longest feature ever written on Burning Bright, which might help to explain why it’s been over a month since my last one, but hey, sometimes we have to look back to look forward, and the saga of Russia as told to the Western Mind has certainly been a winding one.

Special thanks to Andy5x5 for helping me put together and stylize the header graphic, which was meant to merge the concept of the Sovereign Alliance with the Biden Proxy Presidency. He’s also responsible for my new profile pic, which I think is pretty damn sweet. Andy is a massive supporter of myself and my friends in this space, and if you’d like to toss him a tip, you can Buy Him a Coffee here.

I’ll be taking some much needed R&R after this one, and will be pausing my work at Badlands for a week and change so that I might come back renewed and recharged as we rocket toward a series of inflection points in the Info War.

For now, thank you for taking even a fraction of the time to read and ruminate on this piece (and others linked herein,) that I took to write it, and if you want to support this free publication, options are always available down below.
