In his first episode of The Narrative, Burning Bright walked step-by-step through the illustration of a very clear narrative deployment.

1. [WaPo - 11/11/24] Trump talked to Putin, told Russian Leader not to escalate in Ukraine
2. [AP - 11/12/24] Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US-supplied longer range missiles for deeper strikes into Russia
3. [US Naval Institute - 11/18/24] Fleet and Marine Tracker website deployed to show all locations of US carrier fleet
4. [Reuters - 11/19/24] Putin issues warning to United States with new Nuclear Doctrine
5. [The Moscow Times - 11/20/24] Ukraine fires UK-made Storm Shadow missiles at Russia’s Kursk region
6. [RT - 11/21/24] Western long-range weapons used against Russia - Putin
7. [US Department of Defense - 11/21/24] DOD Adjusts Nuclear Deterrence Strategy as Nuclear Peer Adversaries Escalate

This sort of narrative deployment clearly shows to anyone with two brain cells to rub together that

So let me get this straight, some faction in the US is trying to pick a fight with Russia, who is warning against throwing a punch, and the warnings are used as an excuse to further escalate the aggression. The only way this is a great plan is if you stand to profit off the war.

My suggestion is that we pick these and certain other items that have been clear narrative deployments and turn them into easily digestible step-by-step memes to illustrate a concept. (Actual memes for these two examples to be added later - it would be fun to try making them with AI instead of a photo editor if anyone has a good platform suggestion to use - a AI primer thread might be useful for some of us)

For example, Ruby Freeman:

1. [6/12/21] Georgia Voter Fraud starring Ruby Freeman caught on film - https://archive.org/details/georgia-voter-fraud-starting-ruby-freeman-caught-on-tape-1080p
2. [Protect Democracy (the prosecuting attorneys) - 12/15/23] Jury in federal court awards Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss $148,169,000 in damages
3. [Newsweek - 10/10/24] Rudy Giuliani fights to keep Hollywood star’s car as he’s stripped of assets (Imagine being framed as the bad guy for making a claim with evidence, then fighting to keep your assets after wrongful conviction)
4. [NYT - 11/15/25] Georgia poll workers defamed by Giuliani receive “some” ($148 million) of his assets
5. [NewsNow - 11/20/24] Georgia Election Workers seek more penalties against Giuliani, saying he continues to defame them
6. [Forbes - 11/20/24] Georgia election workers want Giuliani sanctioned for defaming them again
7. [Independent - 11/23/24] Election workers defamed by Giuliani pen scathing letter accusing him of an ‘obvious attempt to intimidate’ - Trump’s former lawyer launched a ‘public relations campaign’ to block them from his property, attorneys claim
8. [Guardian - 11/26/24] Rudy Giuliani tells judge he can’t pay his bills in courtroom outburst

“If I understand this correctly, Trump’s representation in the 2020 election, with evidence on film and in law, makes a claim against two poor women, who do appear, very decisively, to have been rigging ballots, is sued for defamation for making a claim against plain evidence, claim is brought in court that is biased toward the claimants, the reward for being defamed is hundreds of times the net worth these women would ever have seen combined in their lives, claiming that any attempt to protest is intimidation, that 150 million for a “good name” as a seasonal election poll worker is equivalent to a lifetime of taking down the mob, rebuilding NYC after 9/11, and being a national/global icon, and more than them deserving his home, cars, art, memorabilia, and other wealth, Rudy should be disbarred, and prevented from even working as a freelance podcaster, because he is the unjust tyrant.”

It’s a bit odd to make a “meme thread” with no memes, but this is to suggest a template, so that they can be generated via AI to save a lot of effort. If anyone has a good thread on doing this, please cross-post it.
