A recent tweet by Elon Musk retweets a short 15 second video video that identifies "the four stages of mainstream news"

ONE. Gaslighting
TWO. Dismissing
THREE. Coping
FOUR. Attacking
What the video points to is a pattern that Burning Bright of Badlands Media (https://rumble.com/c/BadlandsMedia) coined as the shifting of "Overton's Goalpost"
(Link at bottom)
TLDR:
The framework that Burning Bright offers is a cipher for interpreting and digesting how the Cabal propaganda industry is being forced to constantly 'shift the goalposts' in how they deal with information they do not want the public to become aware of.
By identifying how the propaganda machine constantly shifts the goalposts regarding various topics, one obtains a clear view of how the narrative war is developing and just how much the Great Awakening is advancing.
In other words, by recognizing how the enemy is constantly being forced to shift the goalposts and thereby actually move Overton's Window, we can see that they are losing the psywar and yielding ground in terms of narrative control.
The Overton Window is originally a framework that describes how ideas that society accepts as safe to consider, to think and talk about, influence political decisions. Ideas that are too radical or 'unsafe' are "outside the Overton Window" and in politics, that means that these ideas do not have enough support for a politician to successfully espouse them.
Ideas inside the Overton Window are topics and ideas that the majority of society sees as acceptable.
Winning the narrative war involves gradually opening up the Overton Window on key, critical topics. Shifting the Window is one of the core functions of the Great Awakening movement.
In the past, for example, talking about voter fraud and rigged elections was a completely fringe topic, and anyone going on too much about it would be seen as radical. Now, however, the mainstream of society, possibly even the majority, consider voter fraud and rigged elections as a real issue and something that people should be aware of. The Overton Window has shifted.
Article: A Brief Explanation of The Overton Window
In his article, Burning Bright identifies how the mainstream media and propaganda merchants constantly shifting the goalposts around their narratives indicate that the Window is constantly being shifted, and points out that this shows just how much truth is winning and how bad things are going for the Cabalites and Deep Staters, narratively speaking.
As I said, Overton’s Goalpost isn’t an attempt to make sense out of illogical frameworks of the enemy, but rather to codify the observation of such illogical frameworks as a sure sign of [their] retreat and our progress on the informational battlefield.
Burning Bright identifies five stages in the shift of "Overton's Goalposts":
DENY
DIMINISH
QUALIFY
DISTRACT
ADMIT
He then goes on to illustrate the concept using Biden Crime Family Corruption:
DENY
Hunter Biden was not involved in illegal, corrupt foreign business dealings and transactions at any point in time, never mind while his father was Vice President of the United States. He is a reformed drug addict looking to turn his life around, and such accusations from ‘the Right’ are unfounded and unfair.
DIMINISH
Whether or not Hunter Biden was involved in illegal business dealings, they were likely a mix of red tape and process violations, and are not indicative of a criminal mindset, intent or behavior pattern. This is much ado about nothing.
QUALIFY
While it appears that Hunter Biden WAS involved in illegal, corrupt foreign business deals and transactions, and did so WHILE his father was Vice President of the United States, these transactions have been blown out of proportion by the enemies of the government of the United States.
DISTRACT
TRUMP was ALSO involved in corruption with foreign entities (this is a lie,) and should be the REAL focus of this public inquiry. This is an attempt to remove a sitting president from office, and is not an earnest attempt to expose truth to the American public. Oh look, COVID-23 is right around the corner!
ADMIT
Hunter Biden is a career criminal, was laundering money through foreign business ventures using his father’s status in the U.S. government and executive branch, and will likely face legal punishment for his actions … BUT (return to the Deny Phase,) Joe Biden was unaware of this behavior and was not involved in it.
Burning Bright's article is well worth a read. It describes a very useful cypher (framework for interpretation) for viewing the narrative war. It has the added benefit of showing just how much winning we are actually experiencing, by helping one look beyond the surface narratives and recognizing our strategic wins.
Fear. Panic. Loss of narrative Control. You are the news now. ~ Q
