Oh no. You're kidding me. This is just tragic.

It is weird how the article just reports that Heather Moore told a room full of people that a secret conspiracy purposefully controlled the weather to drown little girls in Texas, then moves on as if there's nothing controversial about that.

The Ohm @ohmtheohm.bsky.social · 1d

It is insane that no journalistic organization outside of Alabama has written about this.
Barry Moore is the frontrunner candidate for US Senate from Alabama.
Barry Moore's wife Heather Moore declared that the federal government created the storm that killed kids with a flood in Texas. #insane

😳 Heather ‘Feather’ Moore, wife of US Rep Barry who is running to replace Tubs in US Senate, is talking of how the Texas floods were related to some sort of weather modification conspiracy. Touts MTG, something about how ‘conspiracy theorists are becoming prophets,’ … 😳 1819news.com/news/item/a-...

“Heather Moore suggested that weather modification contributed to Texas's devastating July floods and praised Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) bill to ban weather modification, a bill similar to one already signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

She urged, "We just can't be naive anymore... It's hard to admit that people do evil things... Conspiracy theorists are becoming prophets.”

Terawulf promises of local jobs for Lansing New York don't add up.
Terawulf promised 100 permanent jobs to Lansing for the Cayuga Lake data center, but in July 2024, Terawulf announced only "20 permanent employees, 6-8 fairly permanent employees" for its similar sized Lake Mariner AI operation.

Terawulf hype versus Terawulf Reality: Terawulf promises Lansing 100 permanent jobs for a 400 MW AI data center on Cayuga Lake, but Terawulf provided only 20 permanent employees and 6-8 fairly permanent employees a tthe 360 MW Lake Mariner AI data center.

As Terawulf brags about gathering billions of dollars through debt financing bonds, people who live and work around Cayuga Lake are coming together in opposition to its efforts to put a generative AI data center here, increasing our NYSEG electric bills.
Terawulf is TerrorWulf.

Terawulf is TerrorWulf. No data centers on Cayuga Lake

Terawulf has made big promises to investors before.
Bloomberg describes its current financing as "junk bonds".
Its generative AI data center business is caught at the peak of a massive bubble of overinvestment.
Look at Terawulf's past results.
The outcome of the current hype doesn't look good.

Terawulf peaks and crashes. Volatile stock history of generative AI data center bubble.

Terawulf is surfing the top of a data center hype bubble… which means that when the bubble bursts, Terawulf will have the biggest fall. Investors beware.

Can generative AI data centers continue to spread exponentially across America, when grassroots from local activist groups - like the one forming in Lansing New York opposing the proposed Terawulf Cayuga Lake data center - are increasing cost of expansion?

Just one more needle to pop the bubble.

That's funny, because 5 days ago in Lansing New York, Terawulf executives, including their Chief Strategic Officer, told an auditorium full of people that Terawulf is planning to get out of Bitcoin mining.

What do the folks at Terawulf know?
Is Bitcoin going to bust yet again?

It's important to note that this lease was obtained through self-dealing.
Riesling Power owns the Cayuga Power Plant location.
Terawulf is leasing the Cayuga location from Riesling.
Both companies have the same CEO, Paul Prager.

It's Paul, leasing to Paul, who "secured" the lease from Paul.

Actually, the god of the Bible, New Testament and Old, is an authoritarian jerk.
In the last book of the Bible, Jesus watches people being tortured with flames and crushes people until their blood forms a lake 200 miles wide.
The Bible gives plenty of material to those who want to hate.
