US Data Center Protests Go National As Backlash Grows

The protest is nationwide and bipartisan, as 86 percent of all Americans oppose data centers in their neighborhoods. The concerns are excessive electricity and water consumption, as well as sound and radiation exposure. Lobbyists at The Data Center Coalition, which argues for AI data centers, are totally tone deaf to the protest, saying they are “mitigating any negative impacts to households and businesses.” Really? ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.Opponents of the rapid buildout of data

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was founded in 1958 and has been full of Technocrats ever since. It handed them dark money for projects hidden from public view. It was like a breeding ground for cockroaches. You can see the effect of “One Health” at DARPA, all of nature is fused together for a common outcome. Operation Warp Speed never would have happened. COVID never would have happened. PCR testing never would happened. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.PROPHECY, ADEPT

I reported on the death of a teenager last year, but a trend has emerged that underscores Sam Altman’s inaction to stop OpenAI from coaching kids to kill themselves. But Google’s Gemini and Meta are almost as bad. Notably, however, Anthropic has not faced any accusations, which means its competitors could end the behavior if they wanted to. That is the bottom line. If you value your kids’ mental health, keep them away from ChatGPT, Meta, and Gemini. ⁃ Patrick Wood, E

Arch-Technocrat Elon Musk is obsessed with “humanity’s multi-planetary future amongst the stars,” even as he is wrecking our planet here. Jeff Bezos is right behind him. Why do they want to put data centers in space? Because they can. Both have a twisted notion that we can escape the “big blue marble” to fulfill our destiny in outer space. This is insanity, and insane people never ask permission to do insane things. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.Space datacenters pro

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said yesterday that the Clarity Act is at the “one-yard line” for passage in the Senate, but it has to act before the August recess to do so. President Trump is chomping at the bit, reflecting the anxiety of his arch-Technocrat cronies who have taken over Washington, DC since he took office. They know that if this bill fails to pass, it will put a monkey wrench in their plans to tokenize and hijack America’s financial system. Yell at your senato

Average electricity prices have surged by 18 percent across the U.S. since Trump took office in January 2025, driven in part by an energy deficit in the Northeast of 6.8 gigawatts. New Jersey consumers are hit hardest by a massive 27 percent shock wave with no end in sight. Technocracy was consumed with energy pricing in the 1930s, and now it comes full circle in 2026. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.The largest US power grid failed for a third straight year to secure enough future supply comm

First, there was the Technocrat-in-Chief meeting on July 14 with an up-and-coming, newly selected Technocrat Prime Minister from Iraq, Ali Falih Kadhim al-Zaidi. Secondly, the multi-billion-dollar deals flowed like the Euphrates River.
Why does this matter? Because we have fought two bloody wars in and over Iraq, and right now we are still pounding Iran, a country that is closely allied with Iraq. Iraq and Iran share a border, a religion, and a long, tangled history. You cannot talk about one wi

The face of the Mideast is changing. The al-Faw Grand Port in Iraq connects to Development Road, a direct competitor to the IMEC corridor, linking Turkey and Europe. The new leader of Iraq, Ali Faleh al-Zaidi, is a businessman who is compared to Trump as the “Trump of the Middle East.” Al Zaidi just visited Washington to herald a broader framework for an “economic partnership” that would replace the old militaristic U.S.-Iraq relationship. ⁃ Patrick Wood Editor

When society rises against you in vast numbers, when acts of violence are leveled at you to stop what you are doing, when you are forced to hire security guards for your personal security, you would think that anyone with a conscience would stop and consider: “maybe it’s me and not everybody else.” Alas, that is not the response of a narcissistic sociopath, whether it’s a CEO at the top or a city councilman at the bottom. Nevertheless, ordinary citizens outnumber these pe

During the chaos of the Covid era in 2021, Hyundai quietly bought the leading robot company, Boston Dynamics. It said at the time that it “aims to develop advanced technologies that enhance people’s lives and promote safety, thereby realizing progress for humanity.” Fu you. The robots are poised to take over manufacturing at their auto plants. So much for progress for humanity. So, the humans are striking. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.Electrification isn’t the only major

Flock’s initial funders included Arch-Technocrats Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel. They just ran it up the flagpole and skipped the consent part. Now Flock is embedded in every state in America – all 115,217 cameras, and growing.

President Trump wears many hats and one of them is Technocrat-in-Chief. He lobbies the Senate for the Arch-Technocrats in Washington, DC., not with a heavy-handed approach as before, but appealing to sentiment for the late Senator Lindsey Graham who was “a big supporter.” If passed, the CLARITY Act will cement Technocracy to the foundation of our country. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.The Senate returns to Washington on July 13, with the clock running down on the most consequential pi

For the better part of the last two years, I have been tracking what appeared to be a reasonably predictable pattern in AI development: a doubling of capability roughly every 3.5 months. That figure came from METR’s time horizon benchmarks — measurements of how long an AI agent can work autonomously on a task before failing. Early 2024 through early 2026, the data held with uncomfortable consistency. If you plotted it, the curve bent upward with almost mechanical precision.

What Technocracy can’t control, it crushes. No outliers allowed. Chinese Christians only meet underground in order to escape prison, or worse. As the “system” of Technocracy in China gets more entrenched, the number of house churches increases and intolerance builds against those those who pledge allegiance to Christ and the Bible, not to the system.
China has “official” churches that are not harassed because they are heavily controlled. Similarly in America, a stat

Hear the giant sucking sound going into the black hole. Citizen resistance is rising into a firestorm across the country, like a crown fire in a forest’s treetops that takes on a life of its own. AI executives are freaking out. Investors are at risk of losing billions. Citizens will be left with the hubris of collapsed communities and abandoned behemoth buildings that won’t be torn down.

Just like Flock cameras ran ahead of regulators’ ability to contain them, so has Leonardo launched a dragnet product to scan all Bluetooth and WiFi signals in realtime, attaching the result to Flock cameras taking pictures of your license plate. There are no laws against this to slow or stop its spread.

In 2025, I forecast that 2026 would be the “Year of the Robot” and it’s right on track. Analysts at this CITI Research conference agree that physical AI has moved past the demo stage and reached commercial deployment. The entire industry could be stalled by the AI bubble, lack of training data, and dislocations is the chip industry, but it is here to stay in the long term. Most robots will be deployed as Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS). ⁃ Patrick Wood Editor.Citi’s&nbs

The CEO of Flock Safety, Garrett Langley, called the organizers of DeFlock.org terrorists, akin to Antifa, because they published 112,570 locations of license readers across the nation. I cannot imagine what Langley is calling Jeffrey Sovern, who is charged with ripping out multiple cameras in Virginia, saying they are unconstitutional.

Photonics influences cell behavior by using light. Technocrats have discovered that many cells, or genetically modified cells, express light-sensitive proteins (opsins, rhodopsins) that open or close ion channels when illuminated, changing membrane potential and firing patterns. In neurons, this directly controls excitability, synaptic transmission, and network dynamics on millisecond timescales. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.Cancer has a dirty trick: it can put itself to sleep.
