Four Construction Vehicles Burned at Data Center in Georgia

At the end of March, some entered the construction site of the data center hypercampus east of Atlanta, Georgia and burned 4 construction vehicles. This was done to oppose data centers that quickly exhaust the limited water supply of the region. This is another example of the country’s tendencies to externalize the costs of their relentless wealth hoarding to southeastern United States. They have chosen the south as an area of ​​sacrifice, that is, a place to deposit the most unpleasant industries and their waste. For them, our home is barely available within such parameters, as it can still be used as a landfill. Thus, the people who acted insist that those who try to steal our water, air and land must at least endure loss and embarrassment on their way to hell.

This specific data center has aimed at facilitating AI connection for local companies. AI not only use more water than other computer processes, but is quickly becoming a way for the state to increase its intrusion in our personal life. And more and more are used by police and state forces to monitor those who oppose them. The people who burned these machines do not believe that our thoughts and movements should be used for profit or incarceration.

If you are interested in taking similar steps against such opponents, there are many opportunities. Atlanta Region is one of the locations with the highest activity of the data center developers, but they appear across the country. Companies owned by these centers often are not based in regions in which construction happens. No matter where you are, you are likely to be able to identify a project, facility or corporate office associated with data centers. There are many opportunities to take action. Some neighbors in Atlanta were successful with traditional organizing approaches. However, when politicians inevitably sell you out, we hope that this action reminds you of alternatives.

Here are some tips that may guide you to identify potential targets. Driving in search of construction sites can produce good results. Notifications of public hearings for rezoning and new constructions can also be helpful. Comparing the logos and the name of the corporation on signs outside the construction via Tor Browser on Tails will also help narrow it down. Check that your research is done safely on tails before acting; there are many methods and techniques that others have developed to limit the state’s ability to stop you.

What is the cause of this wave of followers from Bluesky in a large pack?
I am not into position or capacity to follow anyone else, and my feed already bursting with news from USA/SSA.

I feel perplexed with influx of so much people following me in short time (never was popular, so 5 is "so much" already).

I am ok with that unless you ok with me not folowing me back.

Could it be confusion between the #Georgia US state and #GeorgiaCountry?

The Russia-sponsored ”leaders” of Georgia, Hungary & Serbia, all of them blame USAID for the massive protests in their countries.

Glad to hear USAID is still alive.

Of course, it’s gutted and probably gone, but Musk & Trump acting on this favorite conspiracy theory of the Kremlin on the first weeks of their reign is a bit too much of a coincidence, isn’t it?
