“BACKWARDS AND POOR”: TRUMP’S MESSAGE TO TOWNS THAT REJECT DATA CENTERS President Trump says communities that reject data centers are choosing to be “backward and poor.” He calls them the “golden goose” and argues China “could not be happier” to see Americans push back against the AI buildout. The message is clear: stop asking questions. Accept the data centers in your community, or you are helping Beijing win. But public opposition is growing across party lines. Communities are raising concerns about water use, power demand, land, and the local cost of a massive AI infrastructure boom. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says those concerns are foreign propaganda. “Data centers don’t use water,” he claims. That is a major reversal from Lutnick’s own position last year, when he acknowledged that data centers “suck water.” Now, anyone who says the same is accused of repeating enemy propaganda. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimated that U.S. data centers directly consumed roughly 17 billion gallons of water in 2023, before the current AI buildout accelerated. Yes, America is competing with China in artificial intelligence. But invoking China should not end the conversation about what this buildout costs local communities. Mike Adams (HealthRanger) joins me to break down the data-center push, the water question, and why the China argument does not tell the whole story.

David Friedberg: Michael Burry’s Datacenter Math is Wrong “I actually think Michael Burberry's got this wrong.” “What Michael Burry is saying is that all of these hyperscalers have extended their depreciation schedule or the useful life of their data centers by roughly 2x, which cuts the operating costs in half when they report it in earnings. And so it's making their earnings inflate.” “So he's claiming they're cooking the books. Google first made this change in Q1 of 2021, where they said the servers are now going from 3 to 4 years. Separately in 2021, Google took networking equipment from 3 to 5 years. And then in 2023, they took it from 5 to 6 years.” “And so this is a result of this effort where they went in and did an analysis. So what happened?” “What happened in the data centers is that the data centers transitioned from being primarily data storage and data transfer systems, where you would use hard drives and RAM and memory to store data and then transmit it back out, to being data processing centers because of the AI boom.” “So as AI became more important in the data center, more of the dollars that are going into data centers were allocated towards chips from data storage, which initially was hard drives.” “And then suddenly, when you put these processors in to process the data to do AI, the majority of the spend and the majority of the energy is going towards the processors.” “I made some calls and I checked around with some other friends, and everyone says the same thing: that these 7-8 year old TPUs and GPUs that are sitting in the data centers are still being used and they're being used at 100% utilization.” “So that actually justifies and validates the depreciation schedule being much longer versus shorter.”

🚨 BILL GATES HAS 11 DOOMSDAY BUNKERS — THIS IS THE MAN WHO BUILDS APOCALYPSE SHELTERS FOR THE ELITES A luxury bunker builder just went on camera and gave a tour of one of his underground bomb shelters, while naming some of the powerful clients he says are preparing to go underground. According to him, he has built bunkers for: • Bill Gates: who he claims owns 11 bunkers • Mark Zuckerberg • The Kardashians • Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan He says the Tate brothers bought six massive bunker units that connect together underground into one giant compound. Each bunker is bigger than a New York apartment. Price per bunker? About $400,000. According to the builder, the six-bunker setup for the Tate brothers came out to roughly $3.9 million. He says wealthy people "are not cutting any corners." Some bunkers are hidden behind secret doors and staircases inside mansions. But the part that really caught people’s attention is what he said next. When he started building bunkers in 2011, people believed the chance of seeing civil war or World War III in their lifetime was only around 1%. Hidden passages. Secret bunkers. Underground apartments for the powerful. And this is the man who builds them. Why are the ultra-wealthy suddenly preparing to go underground?

MoistCr1TiKaL comes out strongly against data centers in recent video and ponders if they're making people sicker due to hoarding clean water "AI data centers are actually the boogeyman..a scourge on this planet and a stain on civilized society..no normal ppl with functioning frontal lobes want data centers in their community, it is bad for them" "I've been getting conspiratorial..I was reading something that someone was sharing about like when a AI data center came through, and the impact it had on their water, cause that's a very common thing" "I'm not fully bought into it..but it's an interesting theory..what if the reason there's been seemingly so much more sickness, like it feels like ppl are getting sick more frequently now and a wide variety of illnesses just seem more common..what if AI data centers are hoarding all of the clean water..what if all the clean water is being diverted to the AI data centers and the normal civilians are just getting the sludge runoff..I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility..they are evil enough to do that" (Via penguinz0 on YT)

🚨 NUCLEAR BUNKERS: FROM BILLIONAIRE BLING TO BACKYARD FLEX Zuckerberg and Kardashian’s luxury bunkers scream apocalypse chic, but now regular folks are joining the club. Starting at $20K, these steel hideaways come with air filters to handle nuclear fallout, biohazards, or just nosy neighbors. Sales exploded after the Ukraine invasion. CEO of Atlas Survival Shelters, Ron Hubbard: “My phone rang every 30 seconds. My customers are concerned about nuclear war, biological attacks, or any kind of chemical attacks.” Fancy models cost millions and include pools, gyms, and even farms—because why not grow kale in the end times? Experts say you don’t need a bunker to survive a nuke. Fallout takes 15 minutes to settle, so dive into a sturdy building, duct-tape the windows, and sit tight for a few days. Still, for some, a bunker is less about survival and more about flexing on the future. Source: NY Post

🔥🚨 BREAKING — President Trump just called the "AI apocalypse" the sequel to the "climate hoax" and said he is the "HOAX BUSTER!" “I am the Hoax Buster, and I’m right now breaking another Hoax.” “The people that say AI is going to destroy the World, and that Data Centers are bad for your neighborhood, are the same people that said, just a short time ago, that the World would be extinguished by ‘Climate Change.’” He said that last scare never delivered the extinction they sold, so they moved the end-of-the-world file onto servers and robots. Same cast. New prop. Data centers are the neighborhood villain now. He called them revolutionaries for a bad cause and said the country will find out who they are really working for. The last doomsday clock was a flop; AI is their new fear-mongering ploy.

As AI infrastructure scales, how do American's benefit? COATUE 's Thomas Laffont: "The token is the atomic unit of AI. If you produce tokens you can produce AI. We're seeing now these factories from power to chips to data centers get put together so you can produce tokens. How did you think about making sure that the benefits were widely shared?" Director Michael Kratsios : "The greatest and most powerful well-capitalized companies in the world are the ones that are most interested in building these data centers." "The President brought the companies to the White House and got them to agree to build, bring, or buy their own power to build these data centers." "The American people need to have confidence that when these data centers come to town they will not be the ones who are gonna be bearing the cost of that electricity."

New startup company will put ‘Mini Data Centers’ on the side of residential homes all over America Companies Nvidia and PulteGroup are patterning with SPAN, “A major U.S home builder is now making small fractional data centers, or they call them nodes that can be put on the side of residential homes.” “These could negate the need to build as many hyperscalers and AI cloud providers Just tap into the node network like a regular data center now SPAN, collaborated with NVIDIA using its technology in the system span claims it can install 8,000 of these units about six times faster and at five times lower cost than the construction of a typical centralized 100 megawatt data center of the same size.” In return for letting this company put a mini data center on the side of your home, you’ll get a $150 credit on your electricity bill In some locations you could get free electricity and internet

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has just announced an agreement with tech companies REQUIRING THEM to fully cover the cost of increased electricity production required for their data centers This has been a HUGE worry of Americans worried about their electric bills spiking as more and more data centers are built, so Trump stepped in. Trump says the new electricity generated from plants built by big tech firms will actually DRIVE DOWN energy prices for consumers, as excess power will go back into the grid. "This is an HISTORIC win for countless American families and will also make our electricity grids stronger and more resilient than ever before." "They will be getting a lot of excess electricity for the data centers where they build their own plants." "It's actually going to mean the prices come DOWN."

Both Airtel and Jio are running a Scam in the name of “Unlimited 5G” plans. Even when you are in a 5G coverage area, your 4G data gets consumed, and once it is exhausted, you have to make an additional 4G data recharge to use the internet. They have increased recharge plan prices multiple times by promising unlimited 5G data, but they are not fulfilling that promise. Instead, they are looting more money by forcing customers to purchase additional 4G data packs. And the Government, which is supposed to take action, remains silent because their party receives funding from these companies. 😑

Jolly: Byron Donalds’ real plan to bring down property taxes is to devalue your house by building a hyperscale data center next door to you. Byron Donalds is doing something that Donald Trump is doing and every other conflicted politician is doing who’s on all sides of this issue now. So big tech wants to come in and bring in the hyperscale data centers. Politicians like Byron Donalds have said, “Yeah, come on in. Build on our pristine lands. Give me the money in my campaign account, and I’ll let you do it.” Voters said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. We don’t want hyperscale data centers.” And so now the position of the White House and Byron Donalds has pivoted to the following: “Ratepayer protection.” Ratepayer protection is what they’re saying to make it look like they’re pushing back. Now, understand what that means. That means that big tech and utilities have to pay their own way. They’re allowed to plunder as long as they pay for the plundering. Well, voters are saying, “We don’t want you to plunder.” And by the way, paying your own way should have been the baseline. That’s not a big reform. That’s just because they got caught subsidizing the development of these hyperscale data centers. Now, their position is, “We’re going to make them pay their own way,” and they’re taking a victory lap as though it’s some important consumer protection. No, it’s not. Look who’s cheering on the Trump-Donalds plan for hyperscale data centers. Who is cheering it on? Big tech and big utilities. Who’s against it? Voters. And so, it is a bold-faced lie when you hear Byron Donalds say, “I’m protecting the people of Florida.” No, he’s not. He’s allowing big tech and hyperscale data centers to come into your backyard, plunder our environment, devalue your property, destabilize your community, and then pat himself on the back all the way on his road to what he thinks is going to be a November victory. He’ll be proven wrong.

🚨Governor DeSantis says he is about to sign legislation that will effectively BLOCK hyperscale AI data centers from coming to Florida! “They come in and these big tech companies are building these massive data centers that take up as much power as a city of half a million people. Well guess what? Supply and demand. Do you think your electricity rates go up when that happens? Yes, it does. So this would BLOCK that basically. No rate payer should have to pay ONE RED CENT because of big tech and we'll be one of the first states to do it!”

In the next 15 years, data centers are expected to add an additional $160 billion to grid costs in the US Estimate say electricity rates for average households will spike by as much as 70% Data centers are projected to triple their share of US electricity demand in the next few years The main driver is the explosive growth of data centers built by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and more to power artificial intelligence Places like Northern Virginia already has over 200 data centers with massive new ones planned. Utilities are striking secret proprietary deals with Big Tech companies. These are hidden behind NDAs that shift much of the infrastructure costs onto regular residential customers Just in the PJM energy market of 13 states covering 65 million people, data centers were responsible for 63% of last year’s record 800% spike in capacity prices (This is INSANE) Residential customers in places like Virginia and Louisiana are being forced to subsidize billions in new power plants and grid upgrades for data centers. An Examples of this is in Louisiana, Meta’s data center deal leaves the public potentially on the hook for half or more of a $3–4 billion power plant Again, without major policy changes, average household electricity bills could rise by up to 70% over the next 15 years due to data center demand. There is only one real way we can stop this, we must create a separate customer class for data centers Maryland and Oregon have already passed laws doing this Forces data centers to pay for the specific infrastructure they need instead of spreading the costs to everyone else. More states need to do the same Ban secret sweetheart deals Require full public disclosure of all contracts between utilities and Big Tech Prohibit deals where data centers pay below the actual cost of service Make data centers pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades Change regulations so utilities cannot socialize the cost of data-center-driven infrastructure to residential and small business ratepayers This needs to be done immediately

That random one? We hate it!" "Alright listen, Diana DeGette, who's represented this district for 30 years in congress, is saying nothing about the data centers because she's in the pocket of corporations. Melat Kiros is gonna fight back with a data center moratorium. She wants to put a stop to these data centers being getting popped up left and right. You guys are stuck between a data center and a Purina factory and that's not good for these little guys back there." "It's poison, yeah." "Do you have a ballot in your house right now?"

🇺🇸 FORMER GOOGLE CEO: DATA CENTERS ARE ABOUT TO EAT ALL THE ENERGY Eric Schmidt says we’re about to have a massive energy crisis — because future data centers are gonna need so much juice, they could suck up 99% of all electricity generation. He’s talking 10-gigawatt data centers (FYI: that’s like building 10 nuclear power plants just to keep your TikToks and ChatGPT chats running). Fusion energy sounds cool but won’t be ready in time, so Schmidt says we’ll need everything — gas, nukes, renewables — and fast.

🇺🇸 FORMER GOOGLE CEO: DATA CENTERS ARE ABOUT TO EAT ALL THE ENERGY Eric Schmidt says we’re about to have a massive energy crisis — because future data centers are gonna need so much juice, they could suck up 99% of all electricity generation. He’s talking 10-gigawatt data centers (FYI: that’s like building 10 nuclear power plants just to keep your TikToks and ChatGPT chats running). Fusion energy sounds cool but won’t be ready in time, so Schmidt says we’ll need everything — gas, nukes, renewables — and fast. Problem is, fixing the energy grid takes forever (like, 18 years forever), and Schmidt basically says we need to smash the red tape or we’re toast. Source: Eric Schmidt speech in Congress

We need the data centers. We have to win the AI race. My guest for episode 5 of Counterweight is Manhattan Institute's Judge Glock. This spring he wrote about Loudoun County, VA in City Journal. Loudoun, one of the richest counties in America, with a median household income of around $170,000, has become the unlikely center of a new data center-based industrial revolution. And it's not just Loudoun. Data center construction is up about twenty times nationwide in three years, leading to an enormous political backlash. New York State imposed a moratorium on data center construction, and even Republican Greg Abbott of Texas has put a temporary pause in place. Meanwhile, speaking for myself, I’ve seen a ton of fear-mongering about them, with very little in the way of clear explanation of what the costs and benefits are and what they mean for the localities that might bring them in. I've brought Judge on to walk through in granular detail how data centers work, how Loudoun County became ground zero for the data center boom, and the recent pushback against data centers. We also talk about the unfortunate habit that AI CEOs have of seeming like the gloomiest people in the world in relation to the products they are trying to sell.

James Fishback says Byron Donalds is LYING about data centers! Says this has nothing to do with China and it’s all about GREED. “There are 4,200 data centers in the United States. There are 470 in China. We've already won the AI war. My grandfather was a computer science major at Florida Atlantic University about 30 minutes south of here in Boca. And he would tell you that in the 1970s and 80s, computers were the size of Costco warehouses and now those same computers fit in our pocket. Why are we building an AI data center that in five years is going to be obsolete, is going to be one one hundredth of the size. And so I fear it's because a lot of the big land developers want to buy up cheap land, flip it for the next AI data center. So it's a greedy thing. It's a greed thing. And I don't want that to happen in our state because you know what? If you buy something and you screw up, you can return it. You could sell it. If you pave over citrus groves or the Everglades or a wetlands to build the data center, you cannot easily undo that. And so I don't want our farmers, I don't want our rural towns to be run roughshod over. My opponent, Byron Donalds, will say, well, what about the AI data center? Don't they have property rights? And I would say to him, what about the property rights of the people who live a hundred feet from the data center? Where there is EMF, where there is audible noise pollution, where there is the potential even for small radioactive waves? What happens in that case? Do they not have property rights? They don't have to live next to something like that.”
