“The multi-polar world order isn’t coming. It’s here.”
I wrote those words last week when analyzing the fallout of the latest BRICS summit, this one held in Johannesburg, South Africa, and featuring an assortment of some of the most powerful—and many of the fastest-growing—nations from a GDP perspective on the world stage.
Of course, heading into the summit, many corners of the Truth Community were understandably sitting on pins and needles, as I’m sure were many of the self-described Globalist ‘elites’ keeping a wary eye on the development of the New Development Bloc itself, albeit for entirely different reasons. And while many citizen journalists and independent researchers—even casual observers relatively new to the very concept of BRICS and the multi-polar world order—watched with more interest than they had before, there were breathless and specific predictions made as to the substance of the announcements and the Actuals that might come out of the summit that, in the face of cold, hard reality, might have seemed to come up lacking.
And yet, I am here to tell you that the BRICS summit wasn’t just a seismic event on a Narrative level, which it was, but ALSO on an Actual level, even if the much-rumored gold-backed currency that we were told could spell the death of the US Petrodollar was not announced at this meeting of the minds south of the equator.
But before we dive into the Actuals to come out of the BRICS summit, I think it’s worth diving into those Narratives, which—as most familiar with my writings know—I tend to track with heightened interest relative to most in the Truth Community, though our own
tends to share my fascination with the storylines and storytellers of the Info War as much or more so than the Actuals.And the BRICS summit is, if nothing else, a Narrative event. That’s the first thing to get out of the way when attempting to map its various happenings, deployments and Actuals. The summit itself IS a Narrative, and has been since its inception.
While early entries in the budding and now-blossomed forum for international trade, settlement and cooperation represented something of a soft, whispered challenge to the Western Hegemon, recent meetings of the minds in the Eastern Bloc have thrown down the gauntlet.
And that’s exactly what BRICS is, and what BRICS has always been. Above the Actuals, which we’ll explore a bit today and in future features to come, the Narrative is King. After all, as I have argued in both recent writings and in recent appearances on various Badlands podcasts and shows, every Kinetic or Actual War in human history has been the result of a lost Information War, and Information Wars are really Wars of Stories, which is why I’m almost as obsessed with the topic itself as I am with repeating that refrain to anyone who will hear it as often as I can.
The reason the powers that would be—the Globalist, Collectivist scum masquerading as our betters for the better part of a century, and likely far longer—have utilized the core tenets of the Hegelian Dialectic (Problem > Reaction > Solution) in order to first trick and then coerce the populace along greased psychological rails toward predetermined solutions that only seem to benefit the System, and not those under it is because they have an insidious, albeit accurate understanding that human beings are coded, born or created with an innate understanding of and yearning for stories, characters, symbols and the meaning their confluence can convey.
Everything in our lives is a story, from our relationship with our families, to our loved ones, to our friends, careers and homes; even down to our own internal thoughts, we are the stories we engage with, and we become the stories we tell ourselves.
Under the right framing, this is a powerful and even an encouraging prospect—for, if we’re coded with or engage with affirming, sovereign-minded and ‘just’ stories, characters and symbols, we will orient our own lives, moral codes and ethics frameworks around these stories. That said, if the powers that would be manage to subvert the foundations of those stories, pervert the frameworks, or cause the populace to worship false idols and follow Hegelian Pied Pipers over the proverbial lemmings’ cliff, we might begin to see how we ended up in this globally globalist system in the first place.
The good news is, I believe these Hegelian trends have and are being turned around on the Hegelian storytellers. I refer to this concept as the ‘Good’ Reset, and have written about it at length.
As I often say in my writings, we ARE in a War of Stories, but that’s okay, because we have better writers, which is to say, we have better storytellers, because the only thing that can free a chained Mind from the shackles of decades of layered lies is the Truth they were used to plaster over in the first place.
And what holds for the Micro, individual Mind also holds for the Collective Mind, which is the ultimate prize on the Game Theory Game Board—the prize the one side seeks to control and wield, while the other seeks to guide and to free.
What does this diatribe on the tenets of the ‘War of Stories’ refrain have to do with an economic summit wherein ‘axis’ powers meet to plot the dastardly death of the US dollar and the tearing down of the Western Hegemon?
The story’s the thing.
The very fact that the BRICS summit, a meeting of the economic, fiscal and even military minds of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and MANY emerging, developing nations can be framed as some sort of evil or threatening act in and of itself gives away the Narrative game the western powers have been playing for generations.
By convincing the American people that ‘opposing’ nations seeking to map out their own networks of free trade, settlement and mutual cooperation is inherently threatening, they have effectively given away the game, and that is the revelation that was slow-dawning for some time, and that is now assailing the Collective American Mind with force and frequency—that the Western Hegemony—that OUR governments and Systemic Scions—have no desire to operate in a global free market, because globalism is not a system meant to free, but rather to chain, not to expand, but rather to contract, not to celebrate difference and variety, but to codify sameness and predictability.
It’s about control. It’s always been about control.
Rooting for the BRICS nations to put together an economic power bloc that can, will and already has begun to rival that codified by the combined powers of the G7 nations, including the United States as we have had the unfortunate dishonor of knowing it since the aftermath of the World Wars, and accelerating in the ages of Vietnam and the Forever War in the Middle East—a Forever War Donald Trump paved the way to ending—is not a betrayal of western or American values, but rather an extolling of sovereignty, freedom and liberty—the core tenets our nation, our Republic was originally supposed to be founded on.
This is why ‘rooting’ for otherwise-flawed nations such as the aforementioned powerhouses does not necessarily HAVE to spin out of Q Op-adjacent ideas and concepts such as the Sovereign Alliance I personally espouse in order to have a place in a new paradigm-focused psychological framework we’re building as a core part of the Great Awakening.
Put simply, competition is a good thing in what we claim to be a free market system, and if we want a truly free market in the reforged and reborn American Republic we hope to retake, reclaim and even rebuild in the wake of the pretenders who’ve been occupying positions of power and corruption in these lands they have no right to, then we must also apply those same tenets to the reforming world order that is seemingly being erected with rapidity and surety on the world stage in the ‘seeming absence’ of Donald Trump.
While the emergence of BRICS with Trump out of the public position of power in the West SEEMS to lend even further credence to the idea that this emergence and rebalancing is inherently threatening to the United States and Her interests, I believe that it’s actually one of the key circumstantial Devolution proofs we have going in the Information War; after all, if Trump was still occupying the office of the President, which is to say, the Commander-in-Chief of the mightiest military in the world—and the key vector of power projection through which the Hegelian Hive lorded their fiat values over an unwilling and unsuspecting world—it would have been impossible for him to ‘allow’ incursions on a kinetic level by the Russian Federation that many of us believe HAD to happen, just as his economic rhetoric would have made it impossible for him to allow for the growth of a power bloc to ‘threaten’ the US dollar without challenge.
In the end, I have long argued that Donald Trump will not be seen as a destroyer or a conqueror—aside from maybe by the Deep State themselves, and by those of us who were paying attention through the most contentious, stressful and, by extension, rewarding and exciting years of the Info War—but rather as a unifier, a builder and a deal-maker.
Thus, when he returns to (public) power in the West, I believe he will do so in the midst of a reborn and rebuilding international order that he will be forced to contend with in the public Narrative, and that I believe he has not only seen coming, but helped to coax along from the shadows both before, during and following his first stint as President of the United States and de facto leader of the Sovereign Alliance itself.
Trump the deal-maker will be seen as a problem-solver by a plurality of not just the American population, as the emergence of BRICS and its adjacent economic and monetary systems begin to erode international confidence in the fiat dollar, but also by the peoples of the European Union, the UK and South America—at least, those who haven’t already committed themselves to the multi-polar vision laid out by the BRICS pillars.
And this is why, contradictory or paradoxical as it can seem on the surface, American patriots within the Truth Community can actively root ‘against’ the US dollar without rooting against the nation itself, because they—because we—understand said ‘dollar’ has not just been used to erode the freedoms and sovereignty of emerging and ‘opposing’ nations around the world for a century, but also to erode the purchasing power of the American citizenry here at home.
While the transition period from the US petrodollar—itself little more than a zombified marionette that corrupts the original, constitutional, gold and silver-backed unit of exchange proposed by the Founding Fathers—to a gold or commodities-backed system of valuation may be rough, I also believe it will be mercifully brief—long enough for Americans to be forced to contend with the reality of what has been taken from them, and by whom, and short enough to prevent wholesale economic and financial devastation in its wake, while providing the public mandate for a transition into a new system.
And while I do not know if the United States under a returned and resurgent Donald Trump will ‘join’ the growing BRICS bloc on an Actual level, I do absolutely believe we (and he) will join them on a philosophical level, as we transition from a System based on the unReal—and based on the Devolution-limited power projection that kept said System in place—to a System built on the Real.
So, the biggest Actual to emerge from the most recent BRICS summit wasn’t the announcement of a gold-backed currency or some magic economic bullet to take down the Western Hegemony, but rather the announced inclusion of Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf Nations into the alliance, something that has long been rumored, and whose effects will be both immediate and lasting, first from a mass psychological perspective and later from an Actual perspective.
Put in other words, and at the risk of sounding reductive, BRICS has thrown down the gauntlet.
For all the talk of a gold-backed currency (which will likely still come down the road,) the keystone to the toppling of the Western Hegemony has always rested on the decision of Saudi Arabia, one of the top oil-producing (read: power-producing) nations in the world, and one now led by one of Donald Trump’s closest allies, and the Western Hegemony’s most staunch opponents.
With their official intent to join BRICS now codified, the Deep State's power projection (military, financial and energy,) just received a stunning and irreversible blow.
From a Military perspective, most who aren't slaves to the war hawk messaging of NeoCons and NeoLibs have long been aware that the Military Industrial Complex exists to serve itself by subjugating and dominating nations that would dare stand against the illusory might of the US Petrodollar.
From a Financial perspective, that Petrodollar has seen its value completely divorced from the means of production and GDP; for decades, it has been based almost entirely on a forced, artificial set market wherein foreign nations MUST trade for the Saudis' oil in USD, or else face the wrath of the aforementioned Military Complex.
These are two of the major Pillars of the Deep State’s Hegelian System of Systems, and while the former has been neutralized for the time being by the implementation of the Devolution operation and Continuity of Government (as per the research of our own
,) they are not the ONLY Pillars.In fact, the most understated, but perhaps most important pillar the Saudis' decision signals an intent to erode is that of Energy Projection. Also known as real power.
With their entry, BRICS will control more than 60% of global energy markets, all while the Biden Administration continues to draw down the U.S.'s Strategic Petroleum Reserve and fails to restart domestic drilling permits they shut down following the 2020 election coup against Donald Trump.
How’s that for a Narrative?
As I said in Righteous Russia, Power is Power.
Western citizens are going to get a crash course in that hard lesson over the course of the next year and change, and Trump is going to be there to highlight it all along the way with a preponderance of Narrative Deployments as he is transformed very slowly, and then all at once from a bloviating show-off in the eyes of the reachable middle of American society into the truth-teller many of us have seen him as for years.
Thus, when taken in concert with Trump’s relationship with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the infamous Saudi Sword Dance from his most famous international world tour—one that I believe will go down in history, as explored in recent writings by
and —and the earliest drops in the Q Op, one begins to understand that ‘the plan’ is very real, and far bigger than we could have imagined.We ARE watching a movie. And we’re going to like how it ends.
The Multi-Polar World isn't coming. It's here.
Embrace it.
Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.

Brilliant. This lines up with the path that we've seen, at least openly, from at least back to the Sword Dance and the relatively quiet revolution the Saudi's undertook to get out from under the force of evil that had it by the throat. It seems to me inevitable that the United States will end up a leading member of BRICS once Our President gets officially back in evidence. GREAT thoughts on the importance of "the story" in life too!
