Is The Noticing Being Astroturfed?

"We are more often deceived by pride than by cunning." - François de La Rochefoucauld, French author and moralist (1613-1680)

It now seems all but impossible to deny that the movement once known as The Great Awakening—the mass realization that the global political elite governs not in service of either morality or the public good, but toward a future defined by manipulation, surveillance, technocracy, and megalomaniacal control—has, to a very significant degree, coalesced into a far more concentrated force: The Great Noticing.

Many will no doubt regard this as long overdue. After all, when the curtain was at last pulled back from the Covid puppet show, and the scale of the deception laid bare, unprecedented numbers were, for the first time, forced to confront the distinctly Israeli, Zionist, and Jewish hands responsible for pulling the strings. The same might be said about the official narratives surrounding 9/11 and the 2008 Financial Crash, America’s ongoing opioid crisis and of course the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal, while neither does it require, contrary to the media’s wall-to-wall gaslighting, any kind of congenital hatred or race-based psychopathology to acknowledge that it is much these same hands which have injected the poisons of pornography, mass migration, and Hollywood, consumerism, feminism, and psychoanalysis into the Western zeitgeist. These now flow freely through our civilizational bloodstream, metastasizing in cultural, moral, and spiritual cancers, and yet unquestionably the principal catalyst behind The Noticing has been the genocide, overwhelmingly of children, which is currently being inflicted upon the people of Gaza.

On the surface, this groundswell of Judeo-skepticism appears to constitute an organic, if tragically belated, response to decades (arguably centuries) of subversion, subterfuge and brutality. Some have suggested that it may even prove fatal to Jewish posturing as humanity’s foremost victim group, a mythos central to their power, but in an age mired in censorship and psyops, propaganda and counterpropaganda, not even this can be accepted uncritically.

The origins of The Noticing should certainly give some pause. Although incubated in the oft-maligned corners of the internet, in the so-called cesspools of 4Chan, Telegram, and Gab, what finally allowed such counter-Kosher sentiments to be catapulted into popular consciousness was Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. Enticed by his professed commitment to “Free Speech absolutism”—alongside the performative hyperventilating it elicited among professional bullshit artists—legions of the platform’s once-banished political exiles came flooding back, bringing with them the kind of verboten talking points long since purged from public discourse. Musk, for his part, was more than willing to fan the flames, simultaneously galvanizing supporters and enraging detractors by offering up a few entry-level red pills as well as the occasional (and palpably autistic) Roman salute. Yet, what neither side seemed able to recognize—or were too wedded to the state-sanctioned reality to admit—was that beneath his carefully curated persona, this self-styled maverick and unencumbered genius ultimately answered to the same masters as everyone else.

This was brought into irrefutable focus in 2023 when, following some media-contrived outrage over an alleged antisemitic boo-boo, Musk was summoned to Israel in order to ritually atone for his heresy. After self-flagellating his way through Kfar Aza, a kibbutz (permitted to be) stormed by Hamas, the tech mogul-turned-transhumanist trailblazer not only declared his support for the IDF’s subsequent actions in Gaza but also agreed to withhold Starlink services in the territory without Jerusalem’s express approval. ​Indeed, so fawning was his contrition that Netanyahu, a man who routinely decries opposition to war crimes as inherently Judeophobic, went so far as to describe his South African guest as “a great friend of Israel,” while several months later, during the Auschwitz leg of his apology tour, Musk would reiterate, to the tittering delight of Ben Shapiro, his self-conception as “aspirationally Jewish.” This, for anyone immune to the illusions of the left-right paradigm, was all too predictable. It might even be said that if the SpaceX founder’s immense wealth was not enough to confirm him an agent of Israeli interests, then his vast catalogue of business collaborations unequivocally is; but still, the clearest illustration of Musk’s shabbos goy credentials must surely be his well-publicized role, recently vacated, within the current Trump administration.
