Meet The Woman Who Helped Derail A $5 Billion Maryland Data Center (And The NGO Sphere Allegedly Behind The Scenes)
A far-left Maryland activist helped derail a proposed $5 billion data center campus at a 90-acre abandoned mall site in Landover, Prince George's County, just east of Washington, DC. The activist's alleged connections to an NGO linked to China-based Neville Roy Singham should warrant scrunity from national security circles over potential foreign influence operations penetrating the local level to derail US infrastructure projects.
Meet Taylor Frazier McCollum, the registered agent of "MYSTICAL MEDICINALS" (as publicly avaiable filings show) and turned far-left activist, who successfully gathered over 25,000 signatures to defeat a major data center buildout in Landover that was set to begin breaking ground between 2026 and 2027.
McCollum was recently interviewed by the University of Maryland's independent, student-run newspaper, The Diamondback, which noted she has may have ties to Marxist multimillionaire Singham's Party for Socialism and Liberation branch in the nation's Capital.
The Diamondback reported:
NPR News covered McCollum's big win against the proposed data center and acknowledged that she did not do it alone, but had help:
McCollum's Facebook account has more than enough evidence of her radicalization with the far left, posting about reparations, climate justice, and other leftist causes that are not too dissimilar from the globalist framework that left-wing politicians push.
One recent Facebook post titled "No Data Centers In Maryland" was a call for mobilization in which the sponsors included "Media Justice," "DC Sunrise Movement," "PSL," and "Southern Maryland Democratic Socialist of America."
PSL's opposition to capitalism is explicit. Its connections to NGOs associated with China-based Neville Roy Singham intersect with efforts to block US industrial development. Under the guise of climate and other globalist narratives, such as equality, these campaigns weaken America's ability to compete with China.
Singham exposed:
One of the main talking points of the PSL and the broader Singham network is that capitalism doesn't work and, better, to throw a wrench into capitalism; these groups run local mobilization efforts to inhibit the free market from operating.
Funny enough, capitalism isn't going to work when socialists and far-left actors run around sabotaging it. In this case, creating tangible local costs for the local economy, as well as contributing to America losing the AI race against China.
The problem we've laid out is that some NGO networks are possibly front groups for foreign governments and have been a growing problem in America. This was widely covered in the State Department's report: Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism. And months before, we laid this all out (read the note here).
And just today: Florida's attorney general wrote on X, "Today my office issued a subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America. We're examining foreign contributions—including from Cuba and China—tied to their delegations and travel fund solicitations."
While organizations like the Bitcoin Policy Institute highlighted months ago that allowing this CCP-connected network to sabotage America's reindustrialization, which, by the way, contributes significantly to US GDP, wasn't enough, it's starting to produce concrete examples of how NGOs with possible foreign links can influence domestic policy.
Maryland Delegate Brian Chisholm, founding member of the Maryland Freedom Caucus, responded:
The McCollum concluded to NPR, "I feel like so many people are depending on this fight to be successful ... Not just for myself, but even across the country, to set precedent for other people that are fighting against hyperscale data centers." She has pitched plans to turn the now-canceled data center project into a sports complex.
Beyond Maryland, the Democratic sweep could put America's reindustrialization push on a collision course with mounting local opposition. Whether these campaigns are grassroots efforts or receive support from NGO networks with overseas ties should be absolutely alarming.
