Ian Carroll is quickly becoming a national treasure to me for a short, crystalline presentation of a complex topic that has you walking away with your mind blown. Sure, Trump, AI can be good and all and we want to win the "race" with China. But Oracle CEO Larry Ellison? The certified CIA techno-fascist creep who specializes in total awareness surveillance systems?
This is NOT what we voted for.

The Stargate Project: What You’re Not Being Told
Trump is partnering with technocrats to promote mRNA injections, AI, and transhumanism.

On Tuesday President Donald Trump stood with the heads of SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle to announce investments of $500 billion for a new artificial intelligence company called the Stargate Project.
“Stargate will be building the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of advancements in AI,” Trump stated at the press conference.
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and SoftBank chief Masayoshi Son said their companies will invest $100 billion to kick the project off, with up to $500 billion expected in the near future. The investments will go towards building out artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States.
Trump said the companies are already building new data centers to provide energy to power artificial intelligence tools. The first data center being built by Softbank, OpenAI, and Oracle is in Abilene, Texas. Microsoft, NVIDIA and OpenAI have named as tech partners.
“The data centers are actually under construction. The first of them are under construction in Texas,” Ellison said at the announcement. “Each building is a half a million square feet. There are 10 buildings currently being built, but that will expand to 20 and other locations beyond the Abilene location, which is our first location.”
The creation of first data center for the Stargate Project in Texas continues the practice of numerous Silicon Valley Big Tech companies relocating their business to the Lone Star State. In the last several years, Google, Tesla, and most recently, Meta have moved operations to Texas as cities like Austin, Dallas, and Houston attempt to brand themselves as the new home for Silicon Valley.
The official OpenAI announcement of the Stargate Project states that the “AI infrastructure” will “secure American leadership” while creating hundreds of thousands of American jobs. OpenAI says the project will “re-industrialize” the U.S. and provide a “strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.”
OpenAI says they will work with Oracle and NVIDIA to collaborate on building and operating the computing system which will power the project.
“All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.”
Despite the grandiose promises of using AI to save the world, there was also discussion of using AI to power mRNA injections. The controversial technology was at the center of the opposition to the COVID-19 injections, with many Trump supporters refusing to receive them.
Oracle’s Ellison mentioned that Altman and Masa were working on a “cancer vaccine”, and described the apparent potential to use AI for early cancer detection with a blood test.
“Using AI to look at the blood test, you can find the cancers that are actually seriously threatening the person,” Ellison claimed.
He said that after the AI provides a cancer diagnosis the tech companies could gene-sequence a cancer tumor and “design a vaccine for every individual person to vaccinate them against that cancer”. He said such a “vaccine” could be created within 48 hours.
The announcement of the Stargate Project has been met by resistance and shock by some Trump supporters, while others remain committed to Trump and are searching for reasons to explain away the concerning initiative.
Besides the obvious concerns about the expanding use of mRNA technology and the concerns for hazards to human health, there are also disturbing implications relating to the people involved in the Stargate Project.....
What Elon Musk describes — using technology “like a computer program” to alter the human genome and potentially turn someone into a butterfly — has been a long term goal of the advocates of transhumanism. Musk and other Technocratic-Transhumanists believe with AI and gene-editing technologies they can effectively “play God” and eliminate aging, or change what it means to be human altogether.
The presence of Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, and other technocrats like Peter Thiel should be a signal to those who value liberty that MAGA has become the home for the faux populist branch of Big Tech."

Here’s What’s in ‘Stargate,’ the $500-Billion Trump-Endorsed Plan to Power U.S. AI

"Tech giants are backing a massive effort, announced by President Trump and dubbed the Stargate Project, to add data centers across the U.S.
BY CHRISTA MARSHALL
President Donald Trump announced an initiative Tuesday for several technology giants to invest at least $500 billion in artificial intelligence and data centers at U.S. locations over four years, a move that could shake up the electricity mix and heat up a technology race with China.
The Stargate Project is a new company with SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle and MGX as lead investors. Microsoft and Nvidia are partnering in the project and construction at one site has started at a site in Texas, according to an Open AI press release. Approximately $100 billion is expected to be spent on Stargate “immediately,” the company said.
At the White House, Trump said he would help with Stargate’s developments “a lot” through emergency declarations.

“We have to get this stuff built .… They have to produce a lot of electricity, and we’ll make it possible for them to get that production done very easily,” Trump said.
“What we want to do is keep [AI infrastructure] in this country. China is a competitor,” added Trump, who appeared at the White House with Softbank’s CEO Masayoshi Son, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Oracle Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison.
The announcement deepens the influence of large technology companies over the administration, which is working closely with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and has support from several other sector leaders. AI is a significant driver of the energy policy of Trump, who announced before his inauguration during a press conference that real estate developer Hussain Sajwani would invest $20 billion to build data centers in eight states. He and his Cabinet picks have pushed for an increase in drilling and energy production to meet surging demand for AI.
The growth in AI-driven data centers is expected to be a chief determinant of the makeup of the power grid — and its emissions — over the next two decades. A December report from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory concluded that electricity demand from data centers could triple by 2028. Many state officials — including from data center hub Virginia — have said they are uncertain how the grid will accommodate all the new power."
