After seeing fake attacks on the Utah data center project, we hired a data science team to trace the sources. The results were shocking. They led back to organized activist groups and big international funders.(CCP, 4min video)

Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful

@kevinolearytv

We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions.

I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law enforcement and raised concerns directly with contacts at the White House. This isn’t speculation. The filings, funding records, dates, and connections are documented. There’s a coordinated PR war happening around energy infrastructure and data centers, and we’re not going to ignore it.

My electric rates are going up 17% because of these stupid data centers.

Thanks for stepping in with Putin’s opinion on the matter before Delta7 or whatever his name does.

The Chinese and Russians are definitely winning the propaganda war among the social media idiots.

Yes, and have them built in Chjna.

Thats why China pays politicians to run interferes so it months and years in the US, but only 30 days in China.

Water for coolant is nearly, if not 100%, recyclable. It isn’t used up, it is recirculated, so there’s no “massive amounts” of water being “used up.“ Water just has to be available to absorb heat, then allowed to cool again. The amount of time it takes to cool again will in part determine how much water per minute needs to be available for efficient circulation.

The problem is that the local grid will not be able to handle the load, so the plant will have its own massive natural gas-powered electrical generation plant... This is the reason that the company has been buying up water rights in the area.

From Gemini 3.5
“The Power Plant (The Hidden Water Consumer)

Because the local electric grid cannot support a massive 9-gigawatt load, the project plans to generate its own electricity on-site by tapping into the Ruby natural gas pipeline.

Generating 9 gigawatts of power using gas-fired combustion turbines requires an astronomical amount of water just to keep the generators cool and control emissions. According to independent estimates and water impact models published by groups like *Utah Clean Energy*:

* At full buildout, the on-site natural gas power generation is estimated to require anywhere from **2 billion to 16.6 billion gallons of water per year**, depending on the exact type of gas turbines or reciprocating engines they deploy.
* To put that in perspective, 2 billion gallons is enough to fill roughly 3,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
* The upper estimates represent enough water to support the basic annual needs of more than **20,000 average Utah households**.

### Why This Has Sparked a Local Crisis

The developers have quietly been trying to line up these water rights. Public records show they are looking to secure roughly **3,000 acre-feet of on-site water rights** and have another **10,000 acre-feet under contract** from the nearby town of Snowville.

The core of the outrage in Utah is *where* this water comes from. The project sits in Box Elder County, right at the northern tip of the **Great Salt Lake watershed**—an ecosystem that is already in active ecological collapse due to severe regional drought and upstream water diversions.

Local environmental groups and hydrogeologists have pointed out that the groundwater pumping required to supply this project is directly tied to the fading Locomotive Springs wetlands, which feed into the Great Salt Lake. By extracting billions of gallons of groundwater to cool a private fossil-fuel power plant for AI, critics argue the project will permanently rob the shrinking lake of the inflows it desperately needs to survive.

That doesn’t make any sense.

They pitched global warming simply to control us

........

Isn’t that also what data centers are for?

Why do we need data centers?

We somehow gotta have Them!

Why?

The Energy Crunch: Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and massive data storage centers require astronomical amounts of electricity and water for cooling. Across the US (including regions like Utah, Virginia, and the Pacific Northwest), local communities and environmental groups are actively pushing back against data center construction due to concerns over strained power grids and local resource depletion.

.........

Why do we need these data centers?

No one addresses the why.

The U.S. is in an AI arms race with China.

Data centers are the weapons and ammunition factories of that race. We need them for the same reason we needed steel mills and shipyards in World War II–because the nation that out-produces the other wins.

But production and innovation alone aren’t enough. The deeper race is implementation–embedding AI into how we actually manufacture, trade, fight, govern, and innovate. China isn’t waiting. They’re already weaving AI into every layer of their economy, military, and social control apparatus.

If China wins–either the development race or the implementation race–the question of why we need data centers becomes irrelevant.

If China wins, we will be speaking Mandarin.

Data centers aren’t a luxury or a curiosity. They’re national survival infrastructure.

In what way could this be true?

..........

And why would we want to be like China? This is stupid more control the population and become China to not become China. There is nothing that shows that data centers which are processing hubs will be effective.

What do you mean "why"? What part about China wanting to dominate the world don't you get?

Marxist-Leninist systems require external enemies to justify internal control, but they also carry a messianic vision–the historical inevitability of the communist model prevailing. The CCP has fused that with Chinese nationalism into something particularly potent. Xi genuinely believes, and the party genuinely believes, that the CCP model is superior and destined to displace classical liberal democratic order.

From Beijing's view, Western-led global order isn't the natural state of things–it's a 200-year historical anomaly built on Chinese weakness. Reasserting dominance isn't aggression. It's correction.

That's what makes it so durable and so serious. It isn't opportunistic. It's civilizational.

Thank you’s to the DOGE like teams that uncovered this.

“Same” small groups of individuals, but now armed with more tech, that attacked Rush back in the day.

Who’s paying for those protests? Those protesters are just another generation of yesterdays’ useful idiots. They are protesting for a cause without fully understanding its consequences, blindly or naively being used to promote a harmful or cynical agenda

So now you are shadowing me on threads in addition to the ones where you are still shilling for the disastrous Covid vaccines? I am sorry, but your tendency to call people with legitimate concerns about any subject "useful idiots" is absolutely hilarious. Your abysmal record of not understanding the true dynamics of any situation is unmatched by any other poster active in this forum.

So, anyone who does not agree with your preposterous theories does not understand the ‘true dynamics of the situation’? Another of your preposterous theories.
