Data Center Lies: The CHIPS Act Scam That’s Automating Away Rural America’s Future

In this fiery, no-holds-barred pod­cast seg­ment, the host unleash­es a scathing cri­tique of the CHIPS Act and the influx of mas­sive data cen­ters into rur­al com­mu­ni­ties, fram­ing it as a grand decep­tion orches­trat­ed by politi­cians, tech giants, and greedy local offi­cials. Kick­ing off with a warn­ing that state politi­cians will cam­paign on falsehoods—downplaying tax breaks for data cen­ters while hyp­ing vague promis­es of jobs and revenue—the host argues this is all part of a larg­er “set­up” for Amer­i­ca amid esca­lat­ing crises like nation­al debt, health­care fail­ures, hunger, and man­u­fac­tured gov­ern­ment shut­downs with no real solu­tions.

The dis­cus­sion piv­ots to a real-world exam­ple: a $1 bil­lion data cen­ter project in North­east El Paso, Texas, offi­cial­ly announced after the com­pa­ny acquired over 1,000 acres in 2023. BKP dis­miss­es this as smoke and mir­rors: “This will not be oper­a­tional till 2028… Pol­i­tics will cre­ate polit­i­cal lies,” insist­ing the time­line is a ploy to gloss over hid­den deals already in motion with util­i­ties for years.

Deep­er into the rant, BKP expos­es the role of cor­po­rate “com­mu­ni­ty out­reach” reps—described as “lit­tle Weasley guys”—who schmooze town halls with assur­ances of no water or elec­tric­i­ty strains, while dan­gling car­rots like con­struc­tion work­ers patron­iz­ing local din­ers. Yet, the math does­n’t add up: a bil­lion-dol­lar oper­a­tion yield­ing only 100 jobs screams inef­fi­cien­cy, all in the name of AI suprema­cy to “keep up with Chi­na.” The true agen­da? Total soci­etal con­trol via dig­i­tal wal­lets, mon­e­tary sys­tems, robot automa­tion, self-dri­ving trucks, and factory/store effi­cien­cies that will oblit­er­ate human labor. Cit­ing the recent long­shore­men’s strike as a harbinger—where dock­work­ers fought automa­tion that could unload car­go ships with mere hand­fuls of people—BKP urges lis­ten­ers to grill can­di­dates on job pro­tec­tions, not fall for the hype.

Finan­cial sleight-of-hand gets called out next: Bloomberg-sourced intel reveals the Biden admin­is­tra­tion eye­ing expan­sions to CHIPS tax cred­its for AI com­po­nents like trans­form­ers, poten­tial­ly fun­nel­ing sub­si­dies into $1.4 tril­lion in AI infra­struc­ture deals. Intel and the White House are looped in, all under the guise of diver­si­fy­ing from Tai­wan’s sil­i­con dom­i­nance. BKP ties this to a broad­er prophe­cy: “The next three years will be the major changes in your entire life,” demand­ing prepa­ra­tion for an auto­mat­ed dystopia.

Teas­ing the upcom­ing “Geor­gia Hour,” the host promis­es deep­er dives into the U.S. Sen­ate race, more data cen­ter fall­out, Ful­ton Coun­ty’s fed­er­al par­dons under Pres­i­dent Trump, elec­tion depart­ment dra­ma, and a bomb­shell on can­di­date Derek Dooley—Brian Kemp-backed, yet linked via fam­i­ly to a $140 mil­lion Ponzi scheme col­lapse involv­ing the Frost fam­i­ly and First Lib­er­ty Bank. The Repub­li­can Par­ty of Geor­gia won’t dis­avow them, the host fumes, call­ing for account­abil­i­ty. Wrap­ping with a call to action, the episode blends eco­nom­ic para­noia, tech skep­ti­cism, and polit­i­cal intrigue into a urgent wake-up call for rur­al vot­ers feel­ing the squeeze.
