Terra Talks Tucson – Project Blue

Date Recorded: June 21, 2025

Description:

The Trump administration is working at warp speed to embed infrastructure in the US for the global control grid -- and now it’s trickling into Pima County. Up to 10 AI data centers will be built there, backed by a major player in AI data center investing with connections to the Stargate project. What does that mean for the people living near these instruments of AI subjugation? Listen in as Terra breaks down what’s really going on behind the scenes!
