We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Six months before this construction began, on Trump’s first full day back in office, Larry Ellison stood next to Trump and Sam Altman at the White House to announce Project Stargate - a $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative for government operations, defense, intelligence, and consolidating federal data across agencies. That infrastructure needs somewhere to physically exist.
Israel’s underground data centers in Jerusalem were built for Project Nimbus, their government cloud infrastructure. The AI systems currently being used in Gaza - the targeting systems, the surveillance infrastructure, the operational decision-making - run on that underground network specifically because it was designed to continue functioning regardless of what happens above ground. That’s not backup infrastructure. That’s where the actual work of government happens, protected from both digital and physical threats.
And this has to be at the White House specifically because location determines oversight. When infrastructure is part of the Executive Office of the President, when it exists at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it can be classified under executive privilege. The East Wing sits directly above the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, the bunker where Dick Cheney sheltered during September 11th. By demolishing the entire East Wing, you create space to expand that existing secure facility, integrate new infrastructure, go deeper underground. All protected by the classification that covers anything related to presidential security.
The ballroom might not be the lie, exactly. But it’s definitely not the project. It’s the explanation that makes everything underneath acceptable, the public-facing story that sounds presidential enough that the real questions don’t get asked until the construction is complete and the decisions are irreversible.
That should concern us regardless of what you think about any particular administration, because the precedent being set here is about what can be built, where it can be built, and how much the public is entitled to know about infrastructure that will determine how government functions for decades to come. https://thedreydossier.substack.com/p/trump-isnt-building-a-ballroom

Iran War & Fuel Rationing – are “Energy Lockdowns” on the way?
The war in Iran is having the impact that most people with any sense knew it would have: The price of oil is going up, and the supply of oil is going down.
Of course, whether or not the latter of these is actually true we will never know, and it’s beside the point. Oil companies will natural take the slightest excuse to price gouge and contrive scarcity for the basest of profit motives.
It also serves a political motive as well, since we know the global political machinery is –

That means that of the 2.1mn tonnes of urea — the world’s most widely used nitrogen fertiliser — that would normally have been loaded for export over the past two weeks, about half has been disrupted.
At the same time, more than 1.1mn tonnes of fertiliser and fertiliser inputs, including 570,000 tonnes of urea, is currently stuck in the Gulf, either being loaded or already on ships, according to Kpler data.
Nitrogen fertilisers, which underpin about half of global food production, are made from ammonia using natural gas, which has soared in price since the war began last month.
The shortages have begun during the northern hemisphere’s planting season, leading industry executives to warn of lower harvests for staples such as rice.
If the disruption continues, “this will be much worse than 2022”, said Veronica Nigh, senior economist at The Fertilizer Institute, a US-based trade group. “The longer the conflict goes on, the more dire the situation will become.”
