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
IN 2006, RESEARCHER CLEVE BACKSTER — THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE CIA'S LIE DETECTOR PROTOCOLS — PUBLISHED 36 YEARS OF EXPERIMENTS PROVING THAT PLANTS, BACTERIA, AND HUMAN CELLS IN PETRI DISHES RESPOND INSTANTANEOUSLY TO HUMAN THOUGHT AND EMOTION — EVEN AT DISTANCES OF HUNDREDS OF MILES. THE SIGNAL IS FASTER THAN LIGHT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH DISTANCE. IT IS NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC.
In 1966, Cleve Backster was the world's foremost expert on polygraph technology. He had developed the interrogation techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and U.S. military. He understood galvanic skin response — the electrical conductance of biological tissue — better than anyone alive.
One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
