August 2026“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9.
I had heard bits and pieces about these data centers that are being built by massively wealthy men and corporations — with the greased-palm of government officials — so I finally put some time into researching about them. Whenever you see the businessmen and government men joining hands, working like beavers, you should be alarmed.
We should especially be alarmed when something is being built that can store such huge amounts of information about every individual on the planet. There is a potential for abuse. Actually, abuse and immorality and tyranny are inevitable.
So, I thought I would find lots online about that — about the potential tyranny of these machines. But no. No. Very little online.
Instead, what I found were people opposing the data centers because of harm to the environment, because of taxes, because of rising energy costs and the scarcity of electricity.
The biggest reason the data centers should be opposed, however, is the control over our lives by government and corporations. These data centers will be used to power the digital money — including the social credit score for individuals. Understand the Central Bank Digital Currency [CBDC] is programmable; it is permission-based.
The potential for abuse here is massive. The control over our lives is totalitarian in the apex-sense of the word. Data Centers have the capacity to micro-manage every person’s life. Everyone.
The number one reason you should oppose these unfettered data centers is because of the nature of man.
What is the nature of man? The world defines the nature of man as “basically good.” “Most men are basically good,” they say. But Scripture defines the nature of man quite differently. Scripture teaches that all men are wicked, and are in need of a Savior, namely, Jesus Christ.
The idea that man is basically good is a poison you sell to young men as they are still arrogant and full of themselves. But most men over 40 years of age have learned that Scripture is true. By looking at their fellow man and by looking at themselves they realize man is wicked. And he is in need of a Savior.
The Scripture is abundantly clear, from cover to cover, on its testimony that man is wicked and in need of a Savior. Every man.
Take time to read Romans 3:9-23 this evening. Verse 9 says that “all are under sin.” Verse 10 says “there is none righteous, no not one.” Verse 12 says that “there is none who does good, no not one.” Verse 13 states, “Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips.”
The Lord declares in Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things [talking about the heart of man], and desperately wicked.”
From cover to cover, the testimony of Scripture is that man is wicked and in need of a Savior. And that is the number one reason you should oppose these unfettered data centers. By unfettered, I mean there are no laws that limit or define their use.
Power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is why you never give any person or persons or human institution unlimited power. It results in an abuse of power.
Most politicians in our day are clueless to this kind of thinking. Most in our culture do think man is basically good. And so there is this move to put more and more power into fewer and fewer hands.
America’s Founders, on the other hand, held to the view that man is wicked and in need of a Savior, therefore they pillared America as a true federalism with multiple levels of government and multiple branches at each level, so the governments of men could check one another if one (or several of them) began to do evil.
Understand, many of the prophets addressed the businessmen and government men of their day condemning them both for being in cahoots together to do evil in the nation. That situation is upon us here in America.
The data centers are a tyrant’s paradise.
Privacy — what little of it is left in our society — you can kiss good-bye with the data centers. The government and the corporate lords will know more about you than you know about yourself. Americans have already been trained like little monkeys to reveal their every thought and action to the world via social media platforms. They will gladly go along with the chains being forged by their tyrants.
We must bring Christian thought to people and magistrates regarding this matter of data centers.
