A few weeks ago, I was having a politics conversation with a tech insider. The issue of datacenters became a focus of the conversation. The first response from him was “this is the issue that might decide 2026 and will certainly decide 2028.”
The tech side of the issue is essentially: As 5G wifi was to mobile connectivity, so too are the datacenters the cornerstone of nationwide AI rollout. Eventually, all of the datacenters will interconnect and become part of a massive information system that houses all knowledge, a great digital brain. From that point, engagement with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems will become like a public utility.
The datacenters themselves can be a hot button issue as their proximity to people creates friction. Battles against datacenters are taking place in rural and non-rural areas alike. With deep pockets and strong national security arguments involving the “AI race,” the technocrats are currently winning the argument. However, as with all special interest issues, the opportunity for political benefit now determines DC advocacy. WATCH:
What are your thoughts on this issue?
Is opposition to datacenters strong enough to tilt the outcome of the 2026 midterms? And do you believe 2028 will be determined with this issue at the forefront?
9-11 was Phase 1. Covid was Phase 2. Datacenters and AI, along with telemetrics and kill switches in all vehicles and flock devices are Phase 3. Total control will be complete. America as we know it will be gone forever. The concept of having jobs will be gone. The concept of building a life will be gone. Getting married, having kids, building the American dream will be gone. Everyone will sit around in their government supplied population density condo , collecting some weird kind of digital “credits” instead of money and scrolling online gambling sites on your government supplied phone, while waiting for your free weed delivery dropped by an AI drone. If you’re Ok with that because you like tech, you are not an American. If you want another civil war, this will bring it.
I’m trying to learn more about them but what if they are a necessary evil to win the military AI war with China ? Is it true the country who reaches the goal first rules the world? That is my concern
