    For anyone who didn’t want to or can’t watch the video, she posits the administration is using private donor money to build a massive data center under the Whitehouse, with the surface level ball room being a cover story for this. She argued this data center might be used to centralize and collate huge amounts of data outside of Congressional oversight, so the executive branch can use it for monitoring or profiteering or some other purpose.

      I’m also amused that the Epstein ballroom might hide an Epstein datacenter but it seems overly complicated. If someone wanted a secret datacenter without congressional oversight, pick any military base anywhere. It’ll be cheaper, you can hide it in military appropriations and military network traffic. He’ll, just make it an annex to an existing military datacenter and no one will think twice

        Yeah, I had the same thoughts as you about this conspiracy theory being overly complicated and unnecessary. Like you say, just hide it off-site in a top security location and bury the costs in a massive and ultra-vague top secret R&D budget.

      And her source is a Facebook post about an architect pointing out discrepancies in the plans and budget. But it isn’t linked.

      Please I hope its true. He lives there and data centers are loud, and fuck up your health. He deserves the pain.
