Wikipedia tells us that a data center is “a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. Data centers are critical infrastructure for the storage and processing of information, and they support the global financial system….and artificial intelligence.”

Data centers are being constructed now on a scale never seen before. These big, beautiful data centers have been described as “foundational to how modern society functions.” And, like so many other nefarious things, they are said to be vital to national security. This would be the same society that is so concerned about national security they left the southern border completely open for decades, and are now hot and heavy to merge our military together with that of another nation. In January, 2025, our beloved former President Biden signed an executive order on Advancing United States Leadership in Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure, with a decided emphasis on AI’s central role in shaping the economy and our national defense. This order triggered the development of “domestic AI infrastructure,” visibly represented by large-scale data centers. We have to “ensure U.S. economic competitiveness,” after all. It’s not like building factories and reviving domestic industry would do that.Richards Ph.D., Herb RoiCheck Amazon for Pricing.

So who is paying for all these data centers? That’s a bit unclear, as you might expect. We do know that Google invested $40 billion just in Texas for AI and new data centers. One report said Microsoft was planning to spend $80 billion on the same thing in 2025. Something called Digital Realty operates more than 300 data centers worldwide. All we know is that it’s a “real estate investment trust.” A company owned by a Dubai billionaire friend of Donald Trump is kicking in $20 billion. The U.S. worked out some kind of “investment agreement” with Saudi Arabia that amounts to $600 billion. Taxpayers are kept in the dark about lucrative data center subsidies, and one source claims we are paying about $1 million for every data center job created. In Israel, Larry Ellison’s Oracle is building a new data center that takes up nine stories. Underground. For “security” reasons. “Experts” warn that “anti-Israel protesters” are among those objecting to all these new data centers.

As always, the Zionist connection is prominent. In a remarkably revealing recent speech, “AI researcher” Dr. Maya Ackerman told the American Jewish Committee, “instead of trying to control the whole world, and trying to somehow manage what’s happening in this big blob of Wikipedia and social media, we can go directly to the companies with clear technical and advocacy solutions. For the first time, there is a path to correcting the digital world.” I’m certainly no “AI researcher,” but I think the lovely Zionist is confessing to an Israeli desire to control the world here. Just imagine if an Iranian “AI researcher” said this. Or a Russian. Bari Weiss would be up in arms. Jerry Seinfeld might cheer a little less loudly at the next Knicks game. Clearly, there is a powerful consortium pushing for these data centers, and an expansion of AI. In my state of Virginia, over 600 new data centers have been, or are being built. Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger is ecstatic about that. But so are Trumpenstein and his cult.

I worked in Information Systems for nearly thirty years, in three different data centers. So my knowledge of data centers is limited to what they historically were. Companies, or government agencies, would utilize a data center to store the data specific to their company or agency. So these sudden super data centers baffle me. One in Utah is said to be envisioned as twice the size of Manhattan. What? How many servers would that require? And what data in Utah is being stored? No particular company built it. No special government agency did. So what is its purpose? What is the purpose of the over 600 data centers springing up in Virginia? Was that much of the state really offline, to require 600 new data centers? Shouldn’t someone be asking these questions? What else could they be used for, other than nefarious AI monitoring? If they’re not for surveillance, explain what they are for. Whose data are they storing, and why is there so much of it? Where was all this data before?Yoho MD, (Ret) RobertCheck Amazon for Pricing.

While few of our illustrious leaders are opposing this Orwellian expansion of AI technology, local opposition blocked some 48 new data centers in 2025. Famed whistleblower Erin Brockavitch has been reinvigorated and has introduced a map tracking data centers across the country. Communities are complaining about the cost of the infrastructure, and the usage of crucial resources like water and electricity. In 2010, there were 310 data centers across the country. By 2024, the number had quadrupled, and they are now exploding everywhere. Environmental activists like Greta Thunberg seem unconcerned with the massive “carbon footprint” these super sized data centers will have. It remains to be seen whether Americans can, for once, mount an effective grassroots movement to stop these data centers, which can serve no traditional IT purpose. It’s not just “conspiracy theorists” who understand that all this new “data” can only be the personal information of American citizens.

Last July, President Trumpenstein signed an Executive Order to facilitate the rapid and efficient buildout of data center infrastructure. Well, at least he’s interested in some kind of infrastructure. He sure isn’t interested in upgrading our roads, bridges, and power grids. Trumpenstein delighted his cult by removing Biden’s DEI and climate requirements. Promises kept. Trump signed his first Executive Order on AI in 2019, when he established national AI research institutes. He would later sign another Executive Order to advance AI education for America’s youth. It’s for the children. Trump summoned his big tech cronies to the White House to sign a pledge to provide their own power to their data centers. Trump’s broken promise to cut electricity costs in half resulted instead in an average increase of 6 percent in 2025. But the details of Trump’s “deal” remain secret, even from Republican supporters. It’s a “pass the bill first, then we’ll read it thing,” you wouldn’t understand.

So here we have Trumpenstein and the Republicans, pushing hard for this rapid deployment of big, beautiful data centers, while the Democrats support it wholeheartedly. Think of it as military intervention in another country. A banker bailout. Or a congressional pay raise. Bipartisanship at its worst. Trump, like the man of the people he is, was anxious to rollback AI regulations. It’s not like AI could be used for any nefarious purpose. It’s not like countless films and books have been based on the robots/artificial technology takes over and rules the stupid, mouth breathing humans plotline. No one’s seen that movie before. You’d think that, with how successful all the decades of indoctrination has been, this scenario would trigger a lot of fear and anger. The public should know this plot by now. It’s not like it ever ends well. AI never turns out to be our friend. Maybe that’s what we’re seeing in the local protests. You could even call them tiny ripples of hope.Buy New $27.95(as of 10:50 UTC – Details)

Polls seem to show that more than two thirds of people oppose these potentially liberty-threatening data centers. The people rarely show such good sense. They did just return Lindsey Graham to office, after all. So maybe more tiny ripples of hope. Time magazine called it a “populist backlash.” I’d love to think there was a populist backlash over some part of all this crime and corruption. Much as the political support for AI data centers is bipartisan, so is the opposition on the part of the public. The New York Times called it “the most bipartisan issue since beer.” The Washington Post acknowledged that the people are irate about these “energy guzzling behemoths,” but attempted to rationalize, state controlled media-style, the disconnect between the “representatives” and those who keep irrationally voting for them. Of course, they can’t do that, but nobody reads those newspapers anymore, anyhow. You can’t really have a “populist backlash” without a free press. Which we obviously don’t have.
