Tabaluga's

@TAB yeah I was only 10 in '79. I remember it as it was WA's sesqui centenary and I had a bright yellow school bag to celebrate.

Ground coffee large bag around $50 now @SmilingGecko . I’m happy atm cause I got 2 bags for 1/2 price recently. I love ky coffee but don’t drink too much.
How are you? Haven’t heard from

you much the last couple of days. I had lamb fillet with baby carrots and peas for lunch today. Walked to shops this morning. No back pain.

@Glisten hope your appointment goes well/went well.

Raining and cold here in the 'Vegas, 16 degrees and rain. A good excuse to stay in and read.

For some reason I thought you were in the Hills of Red not BULS (2 exchanges there, the other one is for BULS East hence the BBKE. Aren't you glad you have me to tell you this scintillating information? 🤣)

How's your week looking?
I am getting clucky. I want to have kittens. A Siamese and a Ragdoll. Crazy Cat Lady friend is encouraging me, reminding me that MM did well with ex friends' kitten. Of course she has 8 cats so she thinks me only having 2 is a travesty.

Here's todays' little tale - a friend of mums' and mine was living in a caravan park that stated no cats allowed. She adopted a cat but said nothing. When the caretaker came to speak to her about it she said "They told me it was a Queensland parrot, but I think they lied. I think it's a cat." They let her keep the cat.

@PeppyPatti did you make the paella? I LOVE paella, must learn how to make it.

I had slow cooked beef in red wine. Except I used beef stock in lieu of red wine. Couldn't justify opening a bottle of wine for just half a cup. Especially as I don't drink red wine anymore and the stuff I have has been "cellaring" for so long it's probably just expensive vinegar now.

Did you see your plant? Each time I water it I say "Hello Pepster, how's your day going?"

@GezzaP there was an online article several years ago citing much of the coffee was coming from a country in South America possibly Chile going by memory. I cant drink caffeine anymore. I used to like it but dont miss it now.

Yeah havent been online much, glad to hear your back is ok. I bet youre gearing up for the eye surgery now. When is the procedure booked in for? I hope you will be ok. I just brought the bins in and will listen to some health audios this afternoon

Dont know what I'm doing this weekend - its a public holiday Monday in Victoria, Kings Birthday so a long weekend. Might analyse the vedic astrology placements for June, it looks a lot better astro weather compared to what we had to put up with in May.

We have a full moon Sunday so sleep may be light on. We have fixed stars Antares the star of military and war and Elderaron in what is called an opposition in astrology when we have this full moon. The last time we had this placement was in 1942 the worst bombing in Europe in Cologne and in 1980 the Iran conflict. So we can expect international conflict.

But leading up to the full moon we have a beautiful Saraswati yoga amongst it. Saraswati is the goddess of learning, education and the arts so we could make some new discoveries in learning something new or appreciating something in the arts.

Check this out @TAB its a massive power center the size of over 100+ Melbourne Cricket Ground ovals which is going to be built in West of Melbourne. Dont know where they are getting the power from to run these centres but did hear in the USA they require copious amounts of water for cooling. Apparently according to AI this data center in Melbourne is going to be using recycled water for cooling and renewables for power. It seems to be these overseas hyperscale data centers use about the same amount of power as a whole suburb! How are renewables supposed to meet that quota? I dont want my utilities bills to go up even more based on what I heard. I was wondering about power outages too. But these power centers are taking up land, destroying ecosystems and creating really bad air pollution, they are being built all over the world to power artificial intelligence.

Here is something I read

The Silent Theft of Our World

I have been warning about this for years. In December 2023, I reported on a Meta data center project in Rosemount, Minnesota, that was gobbling up 280 acres of farmland while residents protested [1]. Now, that trickle has become a flood. Across the country, hyperscale data centers are stealing the very foundations of human survival: farmland, water, and electricity. They are not being built for progress. They are being built for profit and control, and communities are waking up to the disaster [2].

Consider the water crisis. These centers consume billions of gallons of water for cooling, drawn from local aquifers and reservoirs that are already strained. This is the silent theft of our future. Meanwhile, electricity demand from AI servers is so massive that President Trump has declared that tech giants must fund their own new power plants [3]. The energy consumption of a single hyperscale facility rivals that of a small city. As I stated in a previous broadcast, AI research and hosting require an enormous amount of energy, and tech companies are already partnering with nuclear plants to channel entire outputs into these centers [4]. This is not a sustainable path -- it is a plunder of public resources for private gain.

The Nine Catastrophic Impacts of Data Centers

The damage is not theoretical. Let me list the catastrophic impacts that are already destroying communities. First, thermal pollution: data centers dump immense heat into the environment, raising nighttime temperatures and disrupting local ecosystems. Second, the water crisis: billions of gallons are stolen from communities, as documented in my report on the backlash [2]. Third, massive energy consumption is driving up costs for everyone and forcing reliance on fossil fuels. Texas has approved the nation's largest air pollution permit for a 7.65-gigawatt natural gas and data center complex -- a verdict of death for air quality [5].

Fourth, air quality degradation, noise pollution, and wildlife devastation create a perimeter of death around every large-scale data center. Fifth, land use displaces ranching and farming, with no oversight. The PJM Interconnection has warned of a grid collapse as AI servers and retiring coal plants collide, with servers now consuming twice as much power as older models [6]. These impacts (and others) are not accidental; they are the byproduct of an industry that places profit above people, and they are happening in plain sight.

The Real Purpose: Breeding Superintelligent AI

Make no mistake: these data centers are not for your benefit. They are not for streaming movies or sending emails. They are incubators for a superintelligent AI that globalists intend to use to replace humanity. I have watched this unfold for years. The systematic demonetization of human content creators on YouTube and X is a deliberate strategy to clear the field for a post-human content creation system powered entirely by artificial intelligence [7]. The same is true for data centers -- they are the physical infrastructure for a new form of intelligence that intend to make human labor, human thought, and even human life obsolete.

Consider the Palantir manifesto, which reads like a villainous plot for dystopian domination. It signals the clear convergence of technofascism with technocracy [8]. Amazon Web Services has become the single most pervasive private infrastructural presence on the web, hosting and organizing data for corporations and governments alike [9]. This is the borgification of Earth.

Alternatives That Don't Destroy Civilization

There are solutions that don't require destroying communities and ecosystems. Why not build data centers in dead deserts, where solar power is abundant? Why not place them on floating ocean platforms, using deep-water cooling that saves energy? Or better yet, why not put them in orbit, where solar energy is constant and there is no environmental impact on Earth? The technology exists, but the profit motive does not. The Age of Decentralization teaches us that centralized approaches come with significant economic externalities and hidden costs [11]. Big Tech prefers to steal land and water from humans because it is simply cheaper to do so.

I have long advocated for off-grid solutions that decentralize power and resources. The same principles should apply to AI infrastructure. We can build data centers where they do not harm humans or ecosystems. But the globalists do not want that -- they want them embedded in our communities to enforce their control.

Fight Back: The Pushback Must Accelerate

The fight is already beginning. Texas has enacted a landmark law to curb data center power consumption during grid strain, forcing these facilities to accept curtailment [13]. This is a start, but we need legislation at the federal level to block the theft of water, land, and power. Communities like Okeechobee County, Florida, are waking up and fighting back against a proposed $1.5 billion project [2]. I support local resistance movements against data center encroachment, and I provide free tools to help you stay informed and join the effort to defend humanity.

@SmilingGecko The coffee wouldn’t be coming from Chile but Colombia, Brazil and Guatemala most likely.
Eye surgery is Thursday. I’m not nervous yet. Will be on the day and I’ll struggle with the fasting can’t eat after 9am and not smoking. Admission time is 3.30. Release time 6.30pm. My footy team plays that night will probably miss start of game.

I think we get king’s birthday holiday too.

Another full moon will you plant your garlic around then?

Enjoy your audios. I’m going to do some

more Spanish.

@Meowmy @TAB @GezzaP @SmilingGecko @ENKELI @MissGremlin @Bunniekins @DownMoreThanUp @Bill16 @PeppyPatti @Glisten and all

Work done for the week!

Hope your Friday arvo is going ok and have a good weekend 🙂

Thanks for posting the disturbing article on data centres @SmilingGecko . Where did it come from ? What’s the source of the article?

@StuF yay for work being done for the week. Have you got any plans for the weekend?
