Farmer ARRESTED for Opposing AI Data Centers — The Truth They Don't Want You to Hear | 7/28/26

The fight over AI data centers has entered a disturbing new phase. The developers and local government officials are becoming more fascistic, immoral, and dishonest in their effort to avoid public scrutiny and opposition. Oklahoma farmer and grassroots activist Darren Blanchard joins me to expose how Big Tech developers and government officials are allegedly using intimidation, deception, and political pressure to force massive AI data center projects into rural America. After speaking just seconds beyond his allotted time at a local council meeting, Blanchard was arrested. But that wasn't the biggest revelation. Through public records requests, he uncovered what appeared to be hundreds of fraudulent emails sent to local officials using the names of real residents to manufacture public support for a controversial data center project. Some residents say they never sent the emails. One reportedly came from a deceased individual. We also cover the connection between data centers, solar projects, and land acquisition, and why farmers are raising concerns about the threats to food production. Finally, we get political and discuss the future of grassroots resistance to Big Tech and how it might spawn a new party.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
