Theo Von: “What’s really going on with data centers?”
John Kiriakou: “This has to be intel-related.”
“Look at the companies that are involved.”
“Palantir.”
“NVIDIA.”
“Abraxas.”
“These big companies that either took CIA investments to get started as seed money or are staffed by retired senior CIA officers.”
Von: “Is the CIA now spying on our own people?”
Kiriakou: “Oh, yeah.”
“That’s what Ed Snowden warned us about.”
“Without Ed Snowden’s revelations, we wouldn’t have any idea that NSA and CIA were spying on Americans.”
“And this place in Utah, he and Julian Assange told us about Utah.”
“This new compound in Utah that NSA has built has enough memory storage space for every phone call, every email, and every text message from every American for the next 500 years.”
“According to Ed Snowden, NSA, CIA, other governmental organizations are scooping up all this data, and they’re just holding it.”
“Why?”
“Until the immediate post-9/11 period, if the government wanted your information, they had to go to a federal judge.”
“And the judge had to say: that’s a legitimate reason, I’ll sign the warrant.”
“Now, they just write something called a national security letter.”
“They give it to your provider … and they just turn it over.”
“Or they go to these new data centers and just put your name in … and everything pops up.”
“You don’t have any legal protections.”
“They just take whatever they want.”

AI is projected to eliminate countless jobs, skyrocket energy prices, and data centers will enable a digital surveillance and control grid.
There is no convincing argument for why this will be good for the American people.
And the oligarchs promoting it aren’t even trying to make that argument.
They’re just selling you Cold War-style propaganda to justify turning our country into a digital surveillance state. They’re turning us into the exact same dystopia that exists in China.
