WEBVTT 00:00.420 --> 00:06.199 The AI boom and the trend toward accessing and sourcing storage capacity, computing power, and software via the 00:06.199 --> 00:12.700 Internet through the cloud are currently driving an unprecedented global boom in data center construction. 00:12.700 --> 00:18.265 According to market researchers at Allianz Commercial, up to seven trillion U.S. dollars are 00:18.265 --> 00:22.110 expected to be invested in data centers by 2030. 00:22.110 --> 00:28.620 The main investors include leading tech and cloud companies in the U.S. and China, such as 00:28.620 --> 00:32.915 Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, and Tencent. 00:32.915 --> 00:40.795 Together, their investment budgets amounted to hundreds of billions of dollars in 2025 alone. 00:40.795 --> 00:44.983 The negative consequences of this boom though, are already becoming apparent. 00:44.983 --> 00:50.221 For example, electricity consumption by data centers has increased significantly in the United States, . 00:50.221 --> 00:59.463 According to a study by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), this figure could rise by 80% in the U.S. alone by 2030! 00:59.463 --> 01:05.552 Worldwide, energy demand from data centers is expected to more than double during this 01:05.552 --> 01:10.440 period, rising to approximately 945 terawatt-hours. 01:10.440 --> 01:17.932 This amount of electricity is roughly equivalent to the daily consumption of the whole of Japan, a population of 124 million! 01:17.932 --> 01:22.740 As a result of this enormous demand for energy, electricity costs are also skyrocketing. 01:22.740 --> 01:31.015 For example, in the period from 2020 to 2025 alone, data centers in the U.S. caused a 34% increase in 01:31.015 --> 01:36.907 electricity costs, which, of course, the public has to pay for. 01:36.907 --> 01:41.248 In addition, the water consumption of some facilities is alarming. 01:41.248 --> 01:47.047 Large data centers can consume up to 19 million liters of water per day—that's equivalent to the water 01:47.047 --> 01:51.887 consumption of a city with as many as 50,000 residents! 01:51.887 --> 01:58.968 Given that politicians and the mainstream media around the world are repeatedly sounding the alarm about climate change; and are 01:58.968 --> 02:04.445 forcing the public and the economy to reduce emissions of gases harmful to the climate through high 02:04.445 --> 02:08.128 CO₂ taxes, the following questions are pressing: 02:08.128 --> 02:14.178 ● Why aren't politicians and the media addressing, criticizing, and putting a stop to the massive 02:14.178 --> 02:18.095 energy and water consumption caused by data centers? 02:18.095 --> 02:24.387 ● Why are all the environmental organizations—which are usually so eager to call out environmental 02:24.387 --> 02:27.957 and climate sins—remaining silent on this issue? 02:27.957 --> 02:34.462 ● Why do the construction of data centers and the AI revolution have higher priority than the 02:34.462 --> 02:37.633 allegedly looming global climate catastrophe? 02:37.633 --> 02:42.685 However, the consequences of the AI boom—which is being accelerated more and more by the construction of new data 02:42.685 --> 02:46.060 centers—are likely to have an even more dramatic impact. 02:46.060 --> 02:51.636 More than 200 renowned economists and business experts have issued an urgent appeal 02:51.636 --> 02:55.630 warning of the consequences for the labor market. 02:55.630 --> 03:00.962 The signatories include, among others, 15 Nobel Prize laureates and even the chief 03:00.962 --> 03:05.340 economists of the AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic. 03:05.340 --> 03:11.238 They speak of an “unprecedented transformation” and an upheaval of our entire economy 03:11.238 --> 03:15.392 that will surpass the Industrial Revolution. 03:15.392 --> 03:20.964 As a result, they fear the loss of millions of jobs within a short period of time. 03:20.964 --> 03:26.323 Anyone who thinks these developments affect only ordinary workers is greatly mistaken. 03:26.323 --> 03:33.588 According to Dario Amodei, CEO of the AI company Anthropic, programming and software development jobs, in particular, 03:33.588 --> 03:38.142 are among the first areas that could be fully automated. 03:38.142 --> 03:44.396 But database administrators, security specialists, and IT experts in general are also being affected—all of which 03:44.396 --> 03:50.592 are professions for which many people have studied for years and, in some cases, gone into debt. 03:50.592 --> 03:57.423 This trend is also confirmed by a recent study from the Center for Retirement Research (CRR) at Boston College. 03:57.423 --> 04:03.856 According to this study, more than 120,000 technology jobs were eliminated by AI-driven 04:03.856 --> 04:07.800 automation in the first half of 2026 alone. 04:07.800 --> 04:10.641 The irony here couldn't be more bitter: 04:10.641 --> 04:17.795 Ironically, the very jobs that are driving the digital revolution are now being devoured by it. 04:17.795 --> 04:25.013 Given the problems and risks described, it is not surprising that opposition to AI data centers is growing. 04:25.013 --> 04:31.028 The media portal Natural News sums up what the expansion of this technology also means: 04:31.028 --> 04:36.983 “Opposition to AI data centers is not only justified—it is inevitable.” 04:36.983 --> 04:43.671 Communities across the United States are becoming increasingly aware of the hidden costs they bear, 04:43.671 --> 04:47.500 while technology corporations rake in the profits. 04:47.500 --> 04:53.364 These centers are being forced into residential areas, driving up electricity bills, consuming vast 04:53.364 --> 04:57.051 amounts of water, and causing noise and light pollution. 04:57.051 --> 05:01.590 The real goal is profit and control—not progress. 05:01.590 --> 05:04.292 People have every reason to be angry. 05:04.292 --> 05:11.376 Many of these data centers support AI systems used for mass surveillance, autonomous weapons, and 05:11.376 --> 05:15.781 authoritarian controls—not just for streaming movies. 05:15.781 --> 05:22.276 Most AI is used to spy on, manipulate, and replace people. 05:22.276 --> 05:28.662 The connection between data centers and the globalist push for digital IDs and CBDCs 05:28.662 --> 05:32.930 (central bank digital currencies) is no coincidence. 05:32.930 --> 05:38.400 "This is a coordinated attack on privacy and freedom." 05:38.400 --> 05:45.436 According to renowned investigative journalist David Icke, however, there is much more behind this coordinated attack. 05:45.436 --> 05:54.319 Icke has developed a remarkable ability to connect key global developments and events and to uncover the agenda behind them. 05:54.319 --> 05:59.019 Through his research, he has come to the conclusion that behind the development of AI lies a 05:59.019 --> 06:02.465 global cult that seeks to achieve world domination. 06:02.465 --> 06:08.775 To achieve this, one of the measures is to systematically destroy the population economically by depriving it of its 06:08.775 --> 06:13.030 means of subsistence and access to an independent income. 06:13.030 --> 06:17.800 According to Icke, the development of artificial intelligence serves precisely this purpose: 06:17.800 --> 06:25.903 It is intended to replace people so that they can no longer earn a living and thus become completely dependent and controlled. 06:25.903 --> 06:32.350 Listen to an excerpt from a Kla.TV interview with David Icke from 2023: 06:32.350 --> 06:41.423 "And the plan is, it’s already happening in places like China, that if you, for instance, go jaywalking and you are picked up by 06:41.423 --> 06:51.840 one of these cameras that can identify you, then the fine is just taken out of your account - this is what the AI plan is about. 06:51.840 --> 06:54.760 That’s where this is planned to go. 06:54.760 --> 07:03.863 They can basically block your access to money – if you are a dissident of the system and are challenging the system, 07:03.863 --> 07:08.402 the idea is that they can just shut your account down. 07:08.402 --> 07:14.822 And it people say no, that is far-fetched – remember Justin Trudeau and the truckers in Canada. 07:14.822 --> 07:21.976 You know what happened. And that was just a precursor to what is planned everywhere. 07:21.976 --> 07:28.778 So this situation in Germany fits absolutely this agenda that I just outlined because it’s targeting the 07:28.778 --> 07:33.442 ability of the population to survive and pay its bills. 07:33.442 --> 07:37.385 Because the plan is that that is not supposed to happen. 07:37.385 --> 07:46.815 You are not supposed to have the ability to live your life and pay your bills but instead be completely 07:46.815 --> 07:53.014 dependent on the government for your very survival. 07:53.014 --> 08:02.230 This is the plan. And if we go on just standing and watching, then it will happen. 08:02.230 --> 08:08.416 But it doesn’t have to. 8 billion cannot be controlled by a handful unless the 8 08:08.416 --> 08:13.023 billion comply with the handful. End of story." 08:13.023 --> 08:17.982 So that's what this is all about: It's about power, it's about control, and it's about 08:17.982 --> 08:21.670 total dependence on a system we don't control. 08:21.670 --> 08:26.371 Since the expansion of AI is directly linked to the global construction of new data centers, these 08:26.371 --> 08:31.360 facilities are thus turning out to be a building block on the path to a digital prison. 08:31.360 --> 08:35.682 The insidious thing about it is that all of this is being sold to us as progress. 08:35.682 --> 08:40.486 However, it is far from certain that these global strategists' plans will succeed. 08:40.486 --> 08:44.695 No one knows for sure whether the digital control system will work and whether people will 08:44.695 --> 08:48.571 actually allow themselves to be led into this prison. 08:48.571 --> 08:56.048 That is why we must now relentlessly expose and denounce the dangers of AI and the puppet masters behind this development, 08:56.048 --> 09:00.580 and demand a broad public discourse on this dangerous trend. 09:00.580 --> 09:05.502 Only the population can stop these plans. So take action together with us and share this 09:05.502 --> 09:09.699 broadcast on all available social media platforms! 09:09.699 --> 09:15.916 Because, in the words of David Icke: “… it just needs a vast number of people in each country who are simply saying: 09:15.916 --> 09:21.743 "‘No, we are not doing it anymore, we are not complying with our own enslavement. " 09:21.743 --> 09:26.439 “… and it’s still that people say, ‘there's nothing we can do.’ Well, of course there is.” 09:26.439 --> 09:30.709 8 billion people can't be controlled by a relative handful. 09:30.709 --> 09:36.075 It's impossible without the acquiescence of the 8 billion. 09:36.075 --> 09:46.708 The answer is staring us in the face, but people have to a) be informed so they realize they're being lied to and b) take courage 09:46.708 --> 09:56.729 so that they don't acquiesce through fear of what will happen if they don't, and c) join the renegades, the true renegades. 09:56.729 --> 10:02.063 And the number of people that are saying we won't cooperate in our own enslavement is getting bigger all the time. 10:02.063 --> 10:09.310 And if people just did that, they would suddenly realize where the power not only is, but has been all along."
