A recent exchange with one of my favorite OG Anons, Julian’s Rum, resulted in my summing up the current tenor and persuasion of the Info War as follows:
“Acceleration results in Escalation. Escalation results in Exposure. Exposure results in Awakening. Embrace the chaos. There is no other path.”
Unless you’re completely new to the digital pages of Burning Bright—and if you are, then welcome to you awakening wonders—that refrain and appeal in favor of Escalation and Acceleration should be nothing new to you.
That said, admittedly, it’s always easier to prepare for a storm than it is to ride one out, as the waves slosh and churn, the skies darken and the distant rumble of thunder trundles ever closer, along with its threatening, striking flashes of blue absolution.
And yet, as I went to great lengths to explain in my most-read feature to date, ‘We Are Q,’ I genuinely believe this is what this awakened and awakening army of digital soldiers, Anons, citizen journalists—sovereign-minded humans—were brought together and trained in order to first weather, and then navigate.
In other words, when a community that used to number in the thousands, and that now very likely numbers in the tens of millions was bound together in common purpose not out of fear of a coming storm, but in hungry, hopeful anticipation of it, it isn’t merely an appeal to hope that prompts me to implore you to remember the oaths you swore in this Info War—tacitly or, for some of us, literally—but rather a call to cognitive arms as the enemy appears increasingly hemmed in on the game board, as our movement grows, and as the American desire to remember its own former exceptionalism is shaken from its engineered, Hegelian slumber.
