Quoted: You... you really asked for someone to post that info on a public forum. I can’t even come up with a snarky response. You’ve rendered me temporarily incapable of higher level thought. View Quote Yes. How in the world are these blacksites in keeping with the idea of the consent of the governed? Sneakers "no more secrets" The very idea that Americans are supposed to vote, live, and hold elected officials accountable when the most significant and important things being done are completely concealed from them is an exercise in lying and getting normal people to accept abuse. I can't meaningfully consent to a relationship with someone who is married, has multiple STDs, is sleeping with me to blackmail me, and will have a crazy spouse hunt me for doing doing so if I'm not told. Any criticism of the deep state that doesn't begin with the Gladio type operations done in American's names, with all the blowback that comes from them and how things evolved from that is simply misinformed and wrong. |

I work in the telcom business and have been a few data centers. That building is a unique, but a little dated, attempt at a discreet data center or communication hub. I wonder how much fiber is going in there and from which directions. I am sure they are picking up some along the interstate corridor, but I don't see an other obvious meetups nearby. I honestly wish we had something like that for sale here; my company could use a smallish data center like that. That building to the north is a little odd as well...
Edit: Yup, the unit in 13352 Blossomheath Lane is another near identical unit. I see AT&T fiber flags in the area which is probably marking the underground fiber feeds for both sites. |

The raised floor does not have any cooling tiles/rows.
Could be they replaced them to remove the old equipment out I suppose. |

Quoted: The raised floor does not have any cooling tiles/rows. Could be they replaced them to remove the old equipment out I suppose. View Quote All depends on when the raised floor was built. Was in several in the early 2000s that had all cooling handled above the floor as below the floor was a nightmare of cables. Thankfully Google/Facebook/Amazon started some good data center standards around 2005 or so that other companies actually picked up and used. |

Quoted: #1 if it was a server farm or an att site, why are there no anchor holes for threaded rod in the floor tiles for cabinets unless the tiles were replaced. We always anchored cabinets unless it was a r&d lab. #2 most att sites in that area had halon fire suppression systems. They didn’t use water sprinkler fire suppression as I know. If the fire alarm went off while in the facility, you unassed the AO immediately. I worked Telecom for Nortel, Ericsson and even worked R&D for Ericsson over 15 years. Most always at ATT properties. Some collocates. Never saw anything like this house exterior. Definitely interesting. View Quote Halon has been out of use for 30 or so years. FM200 is what was used when I dealt with those type facilities. |

There's two of those buildings next to each other on a huge north/south road which is also near a interstate. I used to do DoD/fed facilities infrastructure and A/E work CONUS and OCONUS and also teleco in my early career. That looks more like a utility monitoring/comms/laydown type facility. They also stick out like a sore thumb compared to the age/size of the residential houses there.
There would be way more than 4 lockers or electronics cubbies if that was a classified lab/SCIF. If I was going to have a blacksite and I was CIA I sure as hell wouldn't have it on US soil. If I needed some sort of facility not part of my normal federal offices if I was some other type of IC/FLEO I sure as hell would have it in more inconspicuous surroundings. Tons of office parks around the country with leased space you can snag if you need to setup shop for awhile if I needed to be airgapped. Looks like a big expensive piece of fucking shit to me for anything other than another utility company picking it back up. |

But why is it in the middle of the neighborhood?
If it was a server farm it could certainly be located in a commercial area a whole lot easier and cheaper. |

View Quote Not even just classified, but any location that is trying to minimize vectors for tech attack. The security aspects of this location are pretty meh. Got some security booths with bulletproof glass for the on site attendants, and a pretty standard looking setup to secure PEDs. Makes sense tapping into two grids and having a monster backup generator. My only question is what the mirrored glass on the rooms is for? That seems an odd thing to have in a discrete data processing center. |

Quoted: Whose secure data centers are you entering? The ones for the Department of Defense you certainly are removing your smartphone and watch if you want to enter. Those are similar to the lockers I've used to lock up my phone and laptop while visiting a classified location. View Quote What's odd is there are no built in locks on the lockers, looks like you would use a regular combo or pad lock. Most weapons lockers or other lockers have built in locks with keys. The setup reminds me more for stashing personal property (pocket contents, cell phone, small bag) in lockers that employees would provide their own lock for. The bar underneath the locker would probably hold some hangers for coats and jackets. The sign on one of the doors located at what appears to be the checkpoint indicates that in the event of an emergency the doors automatically unlock. The fire guys that do inspections can correct me if I'm wrong but that would mean that for "life safety" exits are tied into the fire alarm system. When a pull station is activated, the doors automatically un lock. You can see the pull stations in several of the photos. You are not going to have a secret site that people can escape out of or let people into by pulling a fire pull station. You don't see those features in prisons or jails and you wouldn't see it in any "black site". |

Quoted: What is confusing about the equipment room pictures is the lack of everything below or evidence that something like that ever existed. The picture is from a T-Mobile switching center. There is a ton of power to the facility but very little conduit inside room or coming through the walls. No opening the walls for incoming data/signal lines. No ceiling support structure for hanging anything other than the lights. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/680/datacenter_JPG-2031770.jpg Even in a reduce footprint design like this, the thick black lines are for power and tie into what is shown in the following picture. https://www.pioneercep.com/index_htm_files/5198.png https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/680/data_power_JPG-2031783.jpg View Quote A while back code changed that required people abandoning a site to remove all the wiring or in this case they relocated it to the 'house' behind it.

This was most likely a telecon hub that had to build to "neighborhood standards," instead of the usual 4 solid brick walls, per local zoning.

Quoted: Why does a data center need a sally port with bullet proof glass and gun lockers? View Quote The dual power grid thing is probably why it is where it is. AT&T likes to do that. The former phone exchange facility here in South Central WI is like that. Two grids to connect to means less requirements for generators and batteries/UPS devices. |

Quoted: I had a couple repeat calls to a house that was melting electrical service cables and transformers. It was constantly running at 400amps even, which is extremely high. A normal 400 amp service rarely pulls 200 continuous. Every time I went there, there was nobody home. Yard maintained, no furniture, no access, nobody returned calls. I could see that the thermostat was at a normal temp through the back window, so that wasn't a factor. It was in one of the wealthiest towns in the US also. Always figured it was a spook site.
