Are You Ready?
Human and machine as one!
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
~ Frank Herbert, Dune
What has happened to this world in which we live? How can it be fully explained, when it is constantly changing while being decimated without fail? Some choose to bypass critical thinking and individuality in favor of dependence on outside forces, whether religion, false ‘leaders,’ controlled media, or government. As far as is known, we all have but this one life to live, and regardless of beliefs or spirituality, regardless of any articles of ‘faith’ that one may possess, nothing is actually known for certain about the essence and meaning of life. Therefore, harmony among us is vital to our own existence, if humanity is to survive, and at this time, mass division and hate have consumed the majority. This has all been by premeditated design.
We, as a society, are facing possible human extinction, due to the embracing of machines taking the place of mankind. It is not as if all of humanity will soon disappear, at least not entirely, but this sought connection with machines and AI can only accelerate the disappearance of sentient beings in favor of a cold transhuman existence. Can you imagine a world without human conscience? I cannot, but that now seems almost imminent.
We, as a people collective, are in the midst of a massive takeover effort by the now formed technocratic State. The AI build-up, the biometric prison, the digitization of money, credit, and finance, the tracking and tracing of all, digital ID, robotics, the total surveillance State, and so much more, are happening in real time. The effort to build an unforgiving control grid globally is advancing with little or no resistance except in the area of data centers, where some pushback is evident. This partial opposition while admirable, is not enough.
It is important to know how far along this data center behemoth has grown in the U.S. before the recent so-called ‘outrage’ began. The U.S. alone has in place as of January of this year, 5,427 data centers, which is nearly half of all data centers worldwide. There are certainly more that are not listed in the attached document. This is absolutely insane, and exposes that the agenda for a total takeover of all in this country is not only well underway, but has already been built out to an alarming rate. The U.S. will be the central force of the West, in what will be the North American Technate, and this gargantuan data center construction effort is telling of the push for absolute control over this and other populations.
These data centers however, are a great threat from any and every angle, not just surveillance, control, and data collection on every man, woman, and child. These are power and electricity eating monsters. According to the Department of Energy, one large data center will require over 100 MW of power, which equates to the same usage for 80,000 households. Multiply this by just 1/5 of the data centers just in the U.S. alone, and that would take 80 million homes amount of power. “But a newer, AI-focused “hyperscale” data center can use as much power as 100,000 homes or many more. Meta’s Hyperion data center in Louisiana, for example, is expected to draw more than twice the power of the entire city of New Orleans once completed. Another Meta data center planned in Wyoming will use more electricity than every home in the state combined.”
“According to estimates produced by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), U.S. data center annual energy use in 2023 (not accounting for cryptocurrency) was approximately 176 terawatt-hours (TWh), approximately 4.4% of U.S. annual electricity consumption that year. Some projections show that data center energy consumption could double or triple by 2028.” This is already happening.
Residents of Lake Tahoe, 50,000 people, are being forced to find a new power source, after all their electric source is being redirected to data center use; this after rates have already skyrocketed over the past 4 years. This is not an isolated case, but will expand across the country as more and more data centers are built in order to cage and control you.
Remember, these numbers are from 3 years ago, so they are already much higher and therefore irrelevant. But there is even more risk, as the depletion of water resources, water necessary for life, is incredible. That water is coming from local utility sources in many cases, stealing it from towns and cities across the country, draining rivers and aquafers nationwide. The natural water table is being depleted. Just a mid-sized data center consumes enough water to supply a small town, but bigger centers require as much as the need of 50,000 or more people. Hyperscale data centers require massive amounts of water that will displace the water use of at least tens of millions across the country.
Yes, the AI takeover is in high gear, as is the planned depopulation effort, and the melding of machine and man as one in the new transhumanism one-world governing system. Current biometrics is just the beginning, but a more thorough and invasive structure will need to be built. While digital ID, smart phones, and other forms of identification and tracking are already in place, this is just the beginning. At some point, when a more universal plan will need to take shape, will it include more sophisticated surveillance, monitoring, and data collection? Will it include human alterations, chip implants, or more? I believe this is a foregone conclusion. Even though it is difficult to imagine, this insanity is growing and advancing by compounded degrees, and given what is already known, the implications of this AI takeover are unbelievably immense.
Already, job losses are huge, displacement of workers is fast-paced, and this can only set up the drive toward universal income, total asset tokenization, all in a system of guaranteed control over all of society. The key component of this takeover is most definitely the build-up of AI, full digitization, biometrics, a completely digitized monetary system comprising CBDCs, stable coins, and other centrally controlled fiat currencies, whether controlled by state or corporate entities, prison-like smart cities, and/or digital concentration camp areas.
Most of what is happening is occurring in the midst of mass propaganda, multiple false flags, all very plotted distraction efforts by the ruling class, its politicians and controlled government, and the complicit media cabal. The more this population becomes reliant on AI, digital ID, assisted income schemes, fake pandemic and health scares, government support through asinine nationalistic acceptance of war, and loyalty to evil party politics, the closer all will get to the all-consuming digital slavery seemingly sought.
The people of this country have been dumbed down, indoctrinated, poisoned, toxically injected, locked down, masked, restricted at every level possible, impoverished, unemployed, starved, inflated, and now are on the verge of being mentally and physically altered and controlled by evil technology; so far with little more than a whimper. In other words, it is up to all of you to resist this tyrannical madness.
There is still time to change this course we are on, especially if this push-back against data centers grows stronger, and more continue to not comply with government, and refuse to accept the technocratic tyranny that surrounds us. The elimination of this governing system is absolutely necessary in order to shut down the problem, and this requires rebellious individuals en masse dissenting, disobeying, and ignoring government mandates. Individual solutions exist to avoid as much of the totalitarian measures as possible, but that alone will never solve the big picture problem of technocratic rule.
“Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class - whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.

Sadly, Gary, I completely agree with your analysis. Did human beings ever really have a chance of avoiding this? I am not sure. I tend to go toward biblical explanations, given the "side track" to all of this malevolence. This is the devil himself and his agents at work. We are being toyed with by these monsters (call them aliens if you like) and have been for quite some time. The devil, as portrayed in world literature, has many of the characteristics that we see on display in recent times. I do think that his legion of helpers, starting with the Serpent that our ancestors unfortunately listened to, coopted certain people as his chosen ones, back in biblical times, to carry out his deceptive mind games upon humanity and then in the last 100 years or so, once again deputized them to begin the utterly malevolent operations that will likely bring us to nuclear war in short order. I suspect that the data centers are only for use in some later mechanism for extraction of resources on the planet perhaps, after the A.I. leadership completes their retreat underground after the poisoning of the current human population via fallout and whatever else is contained in nuclear winter. Will they bother putting us all under the control grid? What is the advantage to them of doing this? That is the only minor quibble I might have with what you are saying. I think they are just going to kill us off. They already know how to make robots. They don't need a bunch of indigestible humans to feed off of. Not a pretty picture in any event. If we can't "rage at the machine" , even out of futility, what is the worth of our humanity, with its higher values? The A.I.'s simply can't "read" us inveterate humans. The gibberish that they try to throw at us to correct our brilliant prose, for example, shows what low -lifes they are.
Oh, the world of man may well be ending, one way or another. The analog world exists, but not in the minds of men. Very odd.
Besides, the odds of nuclear war today are very high.
Does it matter if mankind goes extinct with a bang or a whimper?
