This definition is actually too narrow for what we’ve endured and are seeing currently ripped down. The astroturf of the last decade plus is much thicker and more far-reaching. In fact, it’s so thick that even now, as the Truman Show movie sets fall apart and the fake walls disintegrate, a vast swath of our nation and world remain convinced the illusion is the reality.
This is what’s called Astroturf. And it’s so wonderfully ironic that they all start off with “Shit that just ain’t true” or some variation:
Flood the zone. Saturate the sphere. Make people think there’s a majority, when in fact there’s a very small coordinated minority.
It’s smoke and mirrors.
It doesn’t matter how much evidence DOGE uploads to the Internet or how many lengthy Substacks are written or how many 2+ hour podcasts are recorded. There is a significant percentage of the population that continues to seek the fading construct of an astroturfed sound stage. They would rather continue to sit in the fake theater seats, watching the crumbling façade of a production that was never real but really, really seems like it could be if you squint just right.
If I had a dollar for every time that old eloquent saying “don’t piss down my leg and tell me it’s raining” popped into my head over the last eight years, I would be a much more well-off man. Because that’s exactly what they’ve been doing. They have been pissing down our legs and shoveling piles of crap at us and telling us it’s raining perfume.
I have always been able to see right through it. At every single turn, I have realized I’m being pissed on and that what I smell is in fact not perfume but a lot of crap. I guess I’ve been born with a good BS detector. I’m part of Gen X, after all, and we have always been a bit skeptical and suspicious.
But while I’ve always known something isn’t right and that the official narrative has never been the actual true story, I could never have imagined just how artificially fabricated the narrative was. I now understand, and I can also now explain how so many continue to buy their daily ticket for the Truman Show even, as it seems to be coming to the end of its run.
Over the last several months, people like Mike Benz, DataRepublican, DOGE and Elon Musk have been grabbing massive chunks of the astroturf and pulling as hard as they can. It’s all starting to come down. The wicked web of NGOs, non-profits, and legit government agencies complicit in plastering our consciousness with all this astroturf are methodically being revealed.
And it is GLORIOUS. It’s appalling, yes. Horrific, absolutely. But maaaaannnn, does it feel good to see these charlatanes and scumbags and grifters exposed. The hacking of this system will continue without mercy.
I’ll admit - I’m a little in awe of the sophistication of the astroturf. It’s quite exquisite in its construct. The sheer volume of organizations working in concert needed to make a fake global construct seem like reality is truly staggering to behold. The money laundering here is, as Elon Musk says, the biggest scam in the history of the world.
Basically, here’s how “the Blob” (as Mike Benz calls it…I call it Hydra), works.
The government takes our money through taxes. We are compelled to turn over 20-50% of our hard-earned income straight to The Blob.
The Blob takes our money and assigns it to some known or unknown government agency.
Those agencies, sometimes through acts of Congress, other times not so much, then keep some for themselves but also pass more along to one of their partners. These could be private contractors, NGOs and non-profits.
These private contractors, NGOs and non-profits don’t have to play by the rules of the Constitution. They can play by whatever rules they want to. They don’t have to listen to you. In fact, they can’t stand you. So they rig the game in their favor.
They then take your money and begin to put up astroturf and wallpaper. They send some money to newspapers and radio and the networks. They send more money to agitators and activists. Still others send your cash to technologists and academics and religious groups and medical experts. This is, of course, after the put a healthy handful into their own pockets. The Truman Show costs a lot of money to produce and maintain.
We the people are then subjected to ceaseless campains of theatrics and manipulation while the elites and deep state operatives play little gods over their own fifedoms.
It’s gone on like this for a long time. It’s not like this is a new or novel thing. From the 1930s and 40s when the US government began to crawl deep into bed with the mafia to the 50’s and 60’s CIA programs like MK-ULTRA and Project Mockingbird through Russia-gate to today, a consistent and deliberate effort to create reality has taken place.
It’s really made me think long and hard about my entire life. How much of the astroturf have I tripped over? How much has my life really been influenced by the now-apparent Truman Show? How many more knots do I have to unwind as the debriefings continue to be broadcast far and wide?
And how do I continue to walk thorugh the day-to-day, knowing that there is a psy-opp around nearly every corner and that all the walls are hollow, artificial constructs? Façades around which the true pillars of power are constructed?
And yet as I ponder that question, I think the answer is obvious: I keep pursuing the truth regardless of where it takes me or how disturbing it might be. I do it on the individual level, as I have been for years now.
But it’s also clear that there are so many like me out there. People like you. People who now more than ever clearly know the astroturf is a real thing, it’s tangible, and we can all follow the threads. We can and we must ALL continue to pull. HARD. As we have been for the past few years.
The Petulant Children
As we collectively continue pull the astroturf down and knock over the Truman Show sets, I find myself breathing a little bit easier. It’s always an amazing feeling to know what you’ve been standing for has real justification and proof that’s getting more evident each day. That’s what the Truth does. It illuminates and reveals all the dark and distorted corners.
Know what else it does? It sends all the creepy and destructive things into a frenzy. All the rats and roaches start to run for the doors.
All the kids who’ve been allowed to run roughshod through the neighborhood, doing whatever they want to whomever they want, who are now suddenly being told playtime has ended, do what every spoiled kid that ever was does.
They cry and scream and call names and threaten.
They break stuff.
They vandalize and write on the walls.
The astroturf machine continues to roll on, getting more and more desperate as the holes in their façade falls further and further into chaos.
You’d have thought they would have learned since this.
But alas, they cannot and will not.
When you have lived in an artificial funhouse your entire life that has reinforced walls, fake doors, booby traps, and hallways that lead to nowhere with the sole intent to keep you inside, preocuppied, and entertained, you’re almost surely doomed to being stuck there.
When you’ve spent your formative years within an education system that’s designed to stifle curiosity and critical thinking, you simply cannot see what’s obvious to the rest of us.
And when you spend your days scrolling social media and believing The View, you’re going to be absolutely incapable of seeing what’s on the other side of the wall.
The confirmation bias and cognative dissonance are too strong. The lifetime of literal brainwashing and mind-control makes it impossible.
Let me be very clear: these people are broken. Their brains are literally broken. They have systematically and intentionally been driven mad by diabolical and dangerous people over the course of 40, 50, 60+ years.
The Astroturfers are as ruthless as they are smart. They know and have mastered all the tricks from Goebbels, Bernays, Gottlieb, Alinsky and more. They have years of Soros-funded symphonies of disruption slithering through the system turfing, turfing, always turfing. They point to the rest of the western world still up on stage, feverishly playing their parts in this berserk Truman Show harder than ever.
And they would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling kids.
But now they’re found out. They never imagined that WE THE PEOPLE would flex again. They thought they had all of us.
They were very wrong.
Now, the next few months and even years are going to be incredibly dangerous. They aren’t going down without a fight. They will mobilize their foot soldiers and activate their Manchurian candidates en mass. We’ve already seen the swatting, the doxxing, the attempts at intimidation, and the typical hysterics.
Even as the hives and networks of deception are being severed and taken offline, there are still legion out there working 24x7 to keep the astroturf flowing. This Hydra is far from vanquished. Let US not be under any illusion that we can rest. There are miles to go.
So as we push forward remember these things:
Darkness will never quit. We must meet it relentlessly and savagely.
The individual is not your enemy. They are corrupted, deceived, incapable of seeing. Be the light to them. Earn the right to be heard, and if they will not hear, shake the dust off your feet and move on.
We are here because we flexed. We went to school board meetings and got on our knees and voted and started our own alternate networks outside the system. Let us carry on with vigor. Let us innovate and create and be unafraid.
Do not be swayed, no matter what the Astroturfers present. They are always a VERY SMALL, almost infintesimal minority. But they saturate the surroundings to make it look like you’re overwhelmed. You are NOT. You ARE the majority. Don’t ever take that for granted. But don’t be swayed or dismayed. It’s different than what it looks like.
It’s “shit that just ain’t true.”
This is a fantastic article, BHerr! It's so totally on point.
Unfortunately the majority of Republicans in Congress are only barely tolerating Trump because they all feed from the same troughs. The coalition we won this past election with can easily be dismantled.
We've got two years and so far the earliest test, WI, hasn't lit enough fires in the bosoms of the purportedly freedom-loving.
Let's see.
