WEBVTT 00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:04.017 If you've been watching the normie news recently and watching beyond the breathless 00:00:04.017 --> 00:00:08.997 coverage of Operation Epstein Fury, chances are you've heard the name Ellison in recent weeks. 00:00:09.417 --> 00:00:12.077 We're going to start tonight with the fight over Warner Bros. 00:00:12.217 --> 00:00:17.377 Finally ending as Paramount has usurped Netflix's bid and is acquiring the media company. 00:00:17.617 --> 00:00:20.597 The takeover bid cost more than one hundred and ten billion dollars. 00:00:20.877 --> 00:00:24.417 For the math nerds out there, that also factors in the debt of Warner Brothers. 00:00:24.417 --> 00:00:28.197 The deal still needs to be approved by the board of directors for both companies 00:00:28.197 --> 00:00:30.117 as well as the Justice Department. 00:00:30.357 --> 00:00:34.617 You may be wondering, what exactly is Paramount adding to its media arsenal here? 00:00:34.777 --> 00:00:39.117 Well, it includes CNN and other cable channels to Warner Brothers' film studio 00:00:39.117 --> 00:00:42.617 and streaming platform HBO Max, just to name a few. 00:00:43.017 --> 00:00:47.937 Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison unveiled his plans for Warner Brothers' 00:00:48.097 --> 00:00:52.517 discovery on Monday after clinching a deal to acquire the media giant. 00:00:52.517 --> 00:00:56.817 So what I can tell you is we feel incredibly fortunate. 00:00:57.117 --> 00:00:59.837 CNN is an incredible brand with an incredible team. 00:01:00.177 --> 00:01:05.317 And we absolutely believe in the independence that needs to be maintained, 00:01:05.417 --> 00:01:07.277 obviously, for those incredible journalists. 00:01:07.417 --> 00:01:09.217 And we want to support that going forward. 00:01:09.777 --> 00:01:13.857 CNN and CBS News are brands that we also really want to be a part of transitioning 00:01:13.857 --> 00:01:19.357 to streaming so that consumers have the choice. If they want to watch our incredible 00:01:19.357 --> 00:01:23.977 news brands on broadcast, they can do that. If they want to watch on cable, they can do that. 00:01:24.097 --> 00:01:28.357 But we also want to create a world where if they want to watch on streaming, they can do that. 00:01:28.457 --> 00:01:32.217 And where we can really meet consumers where they are. We're going to invest in the news business. 00:01:32.297 --> 00:01:36.857 And we think this transaction will be a positive for both CBS News and CNN. 00:01:37.812 --> 00:01:40.992 That's right. Larry Ellison, the founder of tech giant Oracle, 00:01:41.232 --> 00:01:45.612 and his son, David, the CEO of Paramount, are about to add media moguls to their 00:01:45.612 --> 00:01:50.832 list of credentials alongside AI shilling surveillance selling technocrats and 00:01:50.832 --> 00:01:52.692 general deep state psychos. 00:01:53.332 --> 00:01:58.212 But here's a funny story about the Ellisons that you probably didn't hear in 00:01:58.212 --> 00:02:00.652 recent weeks. We'll take this from futurism.com. 00:02:00.892 --> 00:02:04.832 It's about tech billionaire forced to rename Humongous Yacht. 00:02:05.252 --> 00:02:12.052 Why is that? Well, as this story reports, after purchasing a 191 foot super 00:02:12.052 --> 00:02:19.112 yacht and deciding to christen it Izanami after the Japanese mother goddess of Shinto mythology. 00:02:20.392 --> 00:02:25.972 Ellison had to reconsider that and rename the boat when he realized that Izanami 00:02:25.972 --> 00:02:28.832 spells something interesting backwards. 00:02:29.032 --> 00:02:33.432 I'll give you a moment to pause, take a look at the screen and figure that one out for yourself. 00:02:33.652 --> 00:02:37.412 And when you do so, you'll see that what was written there is not just ha-ha 00:02:37.412 --> 00:02:39.952 funny, but very darkly ironically funny. 00:02:40.172 --> 00:02:44.272 But why is it darkly ironically funny? Well, in order to understand that, 00:02:44.392 --> 00:02:47.332 you'll have to understand something about the Ellison family, 00:02:47.492 --> 00:02:53.352 their political connections and affiliations, and what that says about one of 00:02:53.352 --> 00:02:58.632 the most important and influential families in the current deep state system. 00:02:59.192 --> 00:03:02.732 Don't worry if you haven't heard any of this before. This information has been 00:03:02.732 --> 00:03:06.272 deliberately occluded from your attention. So let's correct that today. 00:03:06.392 --> 00:03:11.012 By the end of today's episode, you're going to know more about the Ellison family, 00:03:11.272 --> 00:03:16.652 Zionists, technocrats, media moguls, and why that's important for your future. 00:03:17.012 --> 00:03:18.932 Let's do it. Brock, hit the theme. 00:03:39.298 --> 00:03:41.838 Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to another edition of The Corbett Report. 00:03:42.118 --> 00:03:44.798 I'm your host, James Corbett of CorbettReport.com, coming to you, 00:03:44.958 --> 00:03:49.478 as always, from the sunny climes of Western Japan, here in early March of 2026, 00:03:49.698 --> 00:03:53.338 with episode 494 of The Corbett Report podcast, 00:03:53.798 --> 00:03:57.798 Meet the Ellisons: Zionists, Technocrats, Moguls. 00:03:58.918 --> 00:04:03.838 And yes, if you have heard the name Ellison in the news in recent weeks, 00:04:03.838 --> 00:04:07.678 Chances are you have heard it in the context of the slowly, 00:04:07.938 --> 00:04:12.398 massively expanding Ellison media empire, 00:04:12.398 --> 00:04:18.438 which includes such lowlights as last year's story reported by NBC News about 00:04:18.438 --> 00:04:23.298 how the Trump administration had greenlit Paramount's $8 billion merger with 00:04:23.298 --> 00:04:25.558 entertainment group Skydance, 00:04:25.798 --> 00:04:28.758 noting that, of course, Paramount owns CBS, 00:04:29.078 --> 00:04:35.618 which includes CBS News, meaning that David Ellison's Skydance Corporation could 00:04:35.618 --> 00:04:39.878 take over Paramount and CBS News while they're at it. 00:04:40.078 --> 00:04:43.398 And of course, that has resulted in what we've seen going on. 00:04:43.498 --> 00:04:49.398 The CBS News is convulsing as Larry Ellison tries to please Trump type headlines 00:04:49.398 --> 00:04:53.238 that we're seeing from The Guardian and other stewards of establishment news and propaganda, 00:04:53.438 --> 00:04:55.618 noting that Anderson Cooper decides 00:04:55.618 --> 00:05:01.318 to walk away from broadcast TV's most prestigious news show, 60 Minutes. 00:05:01.558 --> 00:05:05.518 Stephen Colbert takes his interview with a rising Democratic politician to YouTube 00:05:05.518 --> 00:05:07.178 instead of his own late night show. 00:05:07.318 --> 00:05:11.558 The CBS Evening News anchor presents a misleading version of the network's own 00:05:11.558 --> 00:05:16.598 exclusive reporting on ice arrests, and a news producer writes a farewell note 00:05:16.598 --> 00:05:20.978 to her CBS News colleagues blaming the loss of editorial independence. 00:05:21.758 --> 00:05:26.158 That's right, I'm sure you have heard about CBS News and what is happening there 00:05:26.158 --> 00:05:32.718 in the wake of this Paramount Skydance take over and the Ellison's gradual assuming 00:05:32.718 --> 00:05:38.738 of control and putting mouthpieces and establishment puppets like Barry Weiss in 00:05:39.136 --> 00:05:43.156 in the seat of power there at CBS News to shake things up. 00:05:43.436 --> 00:05:49.196 And we will hear no end of laments in the dinosaur establishment press about, 00:05:49.356 --> 00:05:54.716 oh no, this venerable institution, the truth tellers over at CBS News are being 00:05:54.716 --> 00:05:57.636 dismantled by these horrible Ellisons. 00:05:57.836 --> 00:06:01.496 Well, certainly the Ellisons are not here to tell the truth and nothing but 00:06:01.496 --> 00:06:04.176 the truth, and they are not going to make things better at CBS News, 00:06:04.416 --> 00:06:06.816 but arguably, is it even worse? 00:06:07.016 --> 00:06:11.536 Well, anyway, it is certainly not an institution that we should be lamenting 00:06:11.536 --> 00:06:15.216 the loss of, but we should never have been taking them seriously in the first place. 00:06:15.516 --> 00:06:19.516 Of course, the Ellison media empire does not stop there. 00:06:19.656 --> 00:06:24.476 As you will no doubt hopefully know by now, the Ellisons also have their hand 00:06:24.476 --> 00:06:31.996 in the recent American spinoff of TikTok and the immediate pro-Israeli censorship 00:06:31.996 --> 00:06:35.596 that started to take place on TikTok as a result of that merger, 00:06:35.596 --> 00:06:38.936 which I've talked about with James Evan Pilato on New World Next Week. 00:06:39.116 --> 00:06:43.036 And of course, we have the very latest just coming a week or two ago. 00:06:43.736 --> 00:06:48.136 Paramount to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery to form next generation global 00:06:48.136 --> 00:06:50.416 media and entertainment company. 00:06:50.736 --> 00:06:57.256 And this takes that Paramount Skydance behemoth and makes it into the Paramount 00:06:57.256 --> 00:06:59.276 Skydance Warner Brothers behemoth. 00:06:59.376 --> 00:07:03.036 And what exactly is in the Warner Brothers Discovery Umbrella? 00:07:03.116 --> 00:07:05.356 Well, just a few things you might have heard of. 00:07:06.116 --> 00:07:10.016 Discovery Channel, HBO Max, Discovery Plus, CNN, DC, TNT Sports, 00:07:10.196 --> 00:07:14.076 Eurosport, HBO, HGTV, Food Network, OWN, Investigation Discovery, 00:07:14.256 --> 00:07:15.736 TLC, Magnolia Network, TNT, 00:07:15.956 --> 00:07:18.656 TBS, True TV, Travel Channel, Animal Planet, Science Channel, 00:07:18.776 --> 00:07:21.096 Warner Brothers Motion Picture Group, Warner Brothers Television Group, 00:07:21.196 --> 00:07:23.076 Warner Brothers Pictures Animation, Warner Brothers Games, 00:07:23.416 --> 00:07:26.876 New Line Cinema, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Turner Classic Movies, Discovery on Espanol. 00:07:27.776 --> 00:07:29.916 HGTV, and others. 00:07:30.416 --> 00:07:33.816 Yeah, just a few entertainment properties, 00:07:34.176 --> 00:07:39.476 all coming under the umbrella of this mega corporation that is being spawned 00:07:39.476 --> 00:07:42.476 and stewarded over by David Ellison, 00:07:42.736 --> 00:07:47.856 son of Larry Ellison, a name that probably doesn't conjure much in the imagination 00:07:47.856 --> 00:07:52.836 of the general public, who probably still are dimly aware of someone named Larry 00:07:52.836 --> 00:07:56.036 Ellison, despite the fact he was, at least briefly, 00:07:56.256 --> 00:08:01.076 at some point last year, the richest man on the planet, according to the Forbes 00:08:01.076 --> 00:08:05.496 Rich List, which we all know, is not the richest people on the planet, 00:08:05.556 --> 00:08:07.476 but gives you some indication which, 00:08:08.016 --> 00:08:12.096 middle managers for the deep state are in positions of puppetry power. 00:08:12.796 --> 00:08:18.376 But anyway, Larry Ellison still occupying one of the top slots in that rich list. 00:08:18.516 --> 00:08:22.176 And yet still very few people know his name. Elon Musk, household name. 00:08:22.256 --> 00:08:23.356 Bill Gates, household name. 00:08:23.456 --> 00:08:27.876 Larry Ellison, not so much yet, although that is changing. And hopefully, 00:08:28.116 --> 00:08:34.636 astute Corbett Reporteers will have heard the name Larry Ellison in various other contexts. 00:08:35.536 --> 00:08:40.756 So my first day back from having a nice life... 00:08:41.972 --> 00:08:46.992 It's my honor to welcome three of the world's leading technology CEOs and in 00:08:46.992 --> 00:08:51.312 the case of Larry, Larry Ellison, it's well beyond technology. 00:08:51.692 --> 00:08:56.152 He's sort of CEO of everything. He's an amazing man, 00:08:56.312 --> 00:09:02.572 an amazing business person, but to announce the largest AI infrastructure project 00:09:02.572 --> 00:09:08.152 by far in history and it's all taking place right here in America. 00:09:08.952 --> 00:09:10.232 Right, good morning everyone. 00:09:11.972 --> 00:09:17.632 It's my great pleasure to welcome Larry Ellison to the World Government Summit. 00:09:19.612 --> 00:09:24.072 Larry was recently described by President Trump as one of the most serious players 00:09:24.072 --> 00:09:29.452 anywhere in the world, and by one media outlet as at the center of everything. 00:09:29.792 --> 00:09:34.092 He's the founder of Oracle, one of the most remarkable companies in the world. 00:09:34.272 --> 00:09:36.972 And Larry, it's a great pleasure to have you with us. 00:09:37.432 --> 00:09:40.512 Welcome. It's great to see you, Tony. Thank you, Tony. 00:09:42.452 --> 00:09:45.672 Oh, right. That Larry Ellison, 00:09:45.932 --> 00:09:50.512 Trump's best buddy and the CEO of everything, who's also the co-leader of the 00:09:50.512 --> 00:09:56.272 $500 billion AI infrastructure investment project known as Project Stargate 00:09:56.272 --> 00:09:58.552 for some interesting occult reason. 00:09:58.812 --> 00:10:05.012 And, oh, yeah, the man that Tony Blair literally prostrates himself before on 00:10:05.012 --> 00:10:08.792 the stage of the World Government Summit and calls him the center of everything. 00:10:08.792 --> 00:10:11.052 That Larry Ellison, right? 00:10:11.472 --> 00:10:15.772 Yeah, the name rings a bell. Yes. For anyone who has been paying attention to 00:10:15.772 --> 00:10:20.092 the conspiracy realist world for the past several years, hopefully you will 00:10:20.092 --> 00:10:24.852 have encountered Larry Ellison's visage before in your research. 00:10:25.552 --> 00:10:30.672 And well, how do we go about forming a better picture of who this man is and 00:10:30.672 --> 00:10:33.412 why it's important to even know his name? 00:10:33.897 --> 00:10:37.477 Well, of course, we can take it from that font of authority, 00:10:37.817 --> 00:10:42.217 Forbes, with their rich list, that can helpfully inform us that Larry Ellison, 00:10:42.377 --> 00:10:48.377 with his $197.5 billion real-time net worth fortune, 00:10:48.837 --> 00:10:54.757 ranks him as the sixth richest man in the world today, as of March 8th, 2026. 00:10:55.077 --> 00:10:59.057 U.S. time, it is the morning of March 9th, 2026, Japan time, 00:10:59.197 --> 00:11:00.377 for those keeping track at home. 00:11:00.977 --> 00:11:04.997 Although that is far shy from his brief moment in the sun last year when he 00:11:04.997 --> 00:11:11.037 had a net worth of $276 billion, which briefly ranked him as the richest man 00:11:11.037 --> 00:11:13.857 on the planet. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. 00:11:14.057 --> 00:11:18.117 And from Forbes, we can learn some of the bare bones details of Ellison and 00:11:18.117 --> 00:11:19.477 where his fortune stems from. 00:11:19.737 --> 00:11:23.997 Larry Ellison is chairman, chief technology officer and co-founder of software 00:11:23.997 --> 00:11:29.657 giant Oracle, of which he owns roughly 40%. Ellison gave up the Oracle CEO role 00:11:29.657 --> 00:11:32.357 in 2014 after 37 years at the helm. 00:11:32.617 --> 00:11:37.977 In September 2025, he became the second person ever worth more than $400 billion 00:11:37.977 --> 00:11:42.877 thanks to an AI-driven boom in Oracle's stock price. 00:11:43.097 --> 00:11:47.817 In 2020, Ellison moved permanently to the Hawaiian island Lanai, 00:11:47.957 --> 00:11:52.177 which he bought nearly all of in 2012 for $300 million. 00:11:52.857 --> 00:11:59.337 Ellison sat on Tesla's board from 2018 to 2022. he owned 45 million split-adjusted 00:11:59.337 --> 00:12:01.557 shares before stepping down as director. 00:12:02.353 --> 00:12:08.673 As a director. And Ellison also owns nearly 50% of media giant Paramount Skydance, 00:12:08.873 --> 00:12:13.913 which formed after the nearly $28 billion enterprise value merger of Paramount 00:12:13.913 --> 00:12:17.293 and his son David Skydance in August 2025. 00:12:17.973 --> 00:12:26.513 And here is the wealth history chart showing the chart from 2016 up to 2024, 2025 into 2026. 00:12:26.793 --> 00:12:30.633 And this, although this does not look like a steep and dramatic rise, 00:12:30.633 --> 00:12:37.153 is so when you're talking about going from 100 billion to 200 billion to 400 billion at one point. 00:12:37.593 --> 00:12:41.073 That's a pretty dramatic rise to happen in just the space of a couple of years 00:12:41.073 --> 00:12:47.113 for someone who has been established in the technology business for many decades. What happened there? 00:12:47.273 --> 00:12:51.473 Well, there's more to say on that, which we will say shortly. 00:12:51.633 --> 00:12:56.353 But yes, this is the sort of milk toast, bare bones, biographical detail that 00:12:56.353 --> 00:13:00.133 you will get from establishment mouthpieces like Forbes, which, of course, 00:13:00.373 --> 00:13:07.073 does not really tell us anything about who Larry Ellison really is or who he really works for. 00:13:07.253 --> 00:13:11.713 So in order to start digging in on that, we'll have to establish a baseline. 00:13:11.893 --> 00:13:16.473 And the baseline is no surprise to anyone out there with their head screwed on straight. 00:13:16.873 --> 00:13:21.733 Larry Ellison is a creature of the deep state and his fortune is predicated 00:13:21.733 --> 00:13:27.093 on his fealty to that deep state infrastructure. That is not out there, 00:13:27.313 --> 00:13:30.433 outlandish, on a branch conspiracy theorizing. 00:13:30.573 --> 00:13:41.273 That is just bare bones reality that is even fully 100% admitted to by his own Oracle Corporation. 00:13:44.033 --> 00:13:50.693 Next, we actually have a customer that is very special to Oracle. 00:13:50.973 --> 00:13:57.733 And some of you are going to know why. Please join me in welcoming the CIA. 00:13:59.613 --> 00:14:01.473 Please welcome to the stage, Linnea Jones. 00:14:14.372 --> 00:14:17.492 Thank you. Thank you so much for joining us. 00:14:18.112 --> 00:14:21.512 Thank you so much for having me, Safra. It's our honor. 00:14:22.052 --> 00:14:29.932 No, it's most of you probably do not know that the Central Intelligence Agency 00:14:29.932 --> 00:14:32.812 was Oracle's first customer. 00:14:33.412 --> 00:14:37.272 And without which, we wouldn't even be here. 00:14:37.452 --> 00:14:45.772 And we view the mission of keeping the world safe as our single, really our top mission. 00:14:47.472 --> 00:14:54.472 It is hard to believe it was 1977 and we are still working together. 00:14:54.972 --> 00:14:59.932 And it is really such an honor to have you up here. 00:15:00.112 --> 00:15:03.552 I think you heard the screaming when we mentioned you. 00:15:03.832 --> 00:15:08.712 And it's not like the CIA's job has gotten smaller. 00:15:09.372 --> 00:15:15.292 So maybe you could share a little bit about really your thoughts on handling 00:15:15.292 --> 00:15:19.252 global threats and just how you do it all. Absolutely. 00:15:19.672 --> 00:15:23.852 So first and foremost, I want to say this is an immense honor and privilege 00:15:23.852 --> 00:15:26.672 for CIA to be here in this capacity. 00:15:27.212 --> 00:15:33.472 As you mentioned, Oracle was founded at CIA in 1977 and look where we are today. 00:15:33.892 --> 00:15:36.052 And so for us, it's full circle. 00:15:36.552 --> 00:15:41.752 And although I'm here, I represent the thousands and millions of people across 00:15:41.752 --> 00:15:45.932 the intelligence community and across the Department of Defense in the global 00:15:45.932 --> 00:15:48.612 mission of keeping us safe for national security. 00:15:48.892 --> 00:15:51.012 And so just want to say thank you on that. 00:15:52.145 --> 00:15:59.005 That's right. Oracle even hosts and brags about its CIA connections right there 00:15:59.005 --> 00:16:01.505 on stage at its own events. 00:16:01.785 --> 00:16:06.545 And you can watch that video in its entirety, along with everything else I cite 00:16:06.545 --> 00:16:12.585 today, in the transcript/show notes for today's episode at corbettreport.com/ellison. 00:16:13.005 --> 00:16:17.705 But anyway, yes, absolutely. It is not a conspiracy theory. 00:16:17.705 --> 00:16:23.845 It is mundane conspiracy reality that Oracle Corporation and one of the richest 00:16:23.845 --> 00:16:27.925 men in the world's fortunes started directly from the CIA. 00:16:27.925 --> 00:16:33.605 And I will let you re-listen and re-re-listen to the CIA representative there 00:16:33.605 --> 00:16:38.045 on stage at Oracle's presentation talking about their relationship. 00:16:38.045 --> 00:16:44.405 And I don't know what you hear, but I the way I hear it, it is hard to believe it was 1977. 00:16:45.065 --> 00:16:50.805 Oracle was founded as CIA in 1977. I'm pretty sure is what she says. 00:16:51.005 --> 00:16:55.785 And that is what for what it's worth, the machine transcription at YouTube hears as well. 00:16:55.965 --> 00:17:03.105 Oracle was founded as CIA in 1970 at CIA, as CIA with CIA support. I don't know. 00:17:03.445 --> 00:17:07.725 Sounds like it was founded as a CIA cutout. But take that for what it's worth. 00:17:08.045 --> 00:17:13.225 And you can find out more of the, again, officially admitted and common knowledge 00:17:13.225 --> 00:17:15.865 story from mainstream establishment places. 00:17:16.125 --> 00:17:19.765 Business Insider had this article up over a decade ago. Larry Ellison is a billionaire 00:17:19.765 --> 00:17:21.565 today, thanks to the CIA, 00:17:21.885 --> 00:17:25.305 which notes that the CIA was the customer that launched Oracle, 00:17:25.565 --> 00:17:29.165 co-founder Larry Ellison said on stage Sunday night during the opening keynote 00:17:29.165 --> 00:17:32.085 for the company's massive customers conference in San Francisco. 00:17:32.345 --> 00:17:36.425 Our very first customer was the Central Intelligence Agency, he said. 00:17:37.005 --> 00:17:39.845 He and his co-founder sort of tricked the world into buying their first database 00:17:39.845 --> 00:17:43.665 by not naming it version 1.0, as was the norm back in the day. 00:17:43.965 --> 00:17:48.425 And today, presumably. The very first version was Oracle version 2, he said. 00:17:48.585 --> 00:17:53.265 We knew no one would want to buy version 1. Lo and behold, Lo spelt wrong. 00:17:53.645 --> 00:17:55.965 Lo and behold, the CIA was our first customer. 00:17:57.097 --> 00:18:00.017 That's an interesting quote in and of itself, isn't it? 00:18:00.117 --> 00:18:05.777 Because again, a psychopath like Larry Ellison blithely admits that deception 00:18:05.777 --> 00:18:09.017 was baked into the cake from the very inception of the company. 00:18:09.237 --> 00:18:12.017 And he brags about getting one over on the CIA. 00:18:12.277 --> 00:18:15.657 I don't think he knows who's really in the driver's seat of that relationship. 00:18:15.657 --> 00:18:21.257 But anyway, it reveals a lot that he brags and jokes about that sort of thing 00:18:21.257 --> 00:18:23.357 on stage. We tricked them. 00:18:23.877 --> 00:18:28.737 Ha ha ha. Anyway, and I say the word psychopath advisedly, because as we will see, 00:18:29.117 --> 00:18:32.877 Larry Ellison has a reputation amongst people who have worked with him and known 00:18:32.877 --> 00:18:37.217 him for a long time and people who are just finding out about him today as an 00:18:37.217 --> 00:18:39.457 unhinged individual in a number of ways. 00:18:39.737 --> 00:18:44.657 Anyway, it goes on in this article to talk about the story. Here's the sort of background. 00:18:44.997 --> 00:18:48.517 This is where Ellison came from. Ellison had twice dropped out of college before 00:18:48.517 --> 00:18:53.077 moving to Northern California at age 22 in 1966 in California. 00:18:53.077 --> 00:18:56.857 He began to work here and there as a computer programmer, eventually landed 00:18:56.857 --> 00:18:59.497 at Amdahl, a company that made mainframe computers. 00:18:59.697 --> 00:19:01.917 That's where he met his Oracle co-founders. 00:19:02.497 --> 00:19:06.477 Ellison read a paper published by IBM about a new kind of database programming 00:19:06.477 --> 00:19:08.357 language called SQL SQL. 00:19:08.757 --> 00:19:12.497 Ellison took the paper and turned SQL into a database. In 1977, 00:19:12.497 --> 00:19:16.057 he founded Software Development Labs with his former boss, Robert Miner, 00:19:16.177 --> 00:19:20.657 along with Ed Oates and Bruce Scott. The CIA hired the young company to build 00:19:20.657 --> 00:19:23.097 this new kind of database that they codenamed Oracle. 00:19:23.377 --> 00:19:27.977 A few years later, when Oracle was still tiny, IBM signed on to use Oracle, 00:19:28.157 --> 00:19:31.617 and Ellison later renamed the company after its best-selling product. 00:19:32.026 --> 00:19:36.806 All right. That's the official story. That's the story that gets told in various permutations. 00:19:36.946 --> 00:19:41.966 And I've seen every possible permutation of that almost like building a sentence 00:19:41.966 --> 00:19:45.106 out of alphabet, alphabety spaghetti or something. 00:19:45.106 --> 00:19:51.046 It's there's SQL and there's Oracle and there's IBM and there's Amdahl and Ampex 00:19:51.046 --> 00:19:55.826 and there's Project Oracle and there's CIA and they kind of mash them all together. 00:19:56.366 --> 00:20:00.866 And there's various dates given and various things that are told about who was 00:20:00.866 --> 00:20:04.806 working for what and where did the idea come from and when and what paper, etc. 00:20:05.306 --> 00:20:08.566 But there are some things that you can nail down if you try hard enough. 00:20:08.726 --> 00:20:11.906 There have been declassified documents that are now available on the CIA's own 00:20:11.906 --> 00:20:15.226 reading room that you can go and peruse for yourself. I'll link them up again 00:20:15.226 --> 00:20:17.986 in the transcript at corbettreport.com/ellison. 00:20:18.706 --> 00:20:22.086 There's a memorandum for the record from 11th of November, 1975, 00:20:22.086 --> 00:20:26.486 from the CIA's internal records on the subject of Project Oracle that notes 00:20:26.486 --> 00:20:33.066 on the 29th of October, 1975, or redacted, of the agency met with the Ampex representatives, Mrs. 00:20:33.286 --> 00:20:36.346 Lemos and Messrs. Wood and Slingeland for the purpose of determining the direction 00:20:36.346 --> 00:20:41.126 and status of Ampex's design of the Oracle Mass Storage System. 00:20:41.739 --> 00:20:47.079 And it goes on to talk about this Oracle mass storage system that the Ampex 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:50.379 Corporation at that time was developing for the CIA. 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:54.419 And if you want even more on that, there's another memo here from earlier on 00:20:54.419 --> 00:20:58.399 from July of 1974 that notes that the following are answers to the questions 00:20:58.399 --> 00:21:00.319 O.L. raised with you recently. 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:05.339 The mass storage system Oracle was ordered in June 1973. 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:09.039 There were two contracts, one for development and software, the other for equipment. 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:14.479 The mass storage system is needed for rapid storage and analysis of vast amounts 00:21:14.479 --> 00:21:20.019 of foreign intelligence concerned with various sensitive operations and missions of the CIA, 00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:24.359 which is about all of the declassified material you're probably ever going to 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:28.399 get on this mass storage system that they were creating under the codename Project 00:21:28.399 --> 00:21:31.939 Oracle and what it may be capable of. 00:21:31.939 --> 00:21:36.259 But long story short, of course, in the 1970s, the computer was transitioning 00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:44.399 from a sort of clunky and somewhat quaint and weird concept into a very useful 00:21:44.399 --> 00:21:48.919 concept for tracking and data mining and surveillance and all of the things 00:21:48.919 --> 00:21:51.759 that the foresighted amongst the public, 00:21:51.959 --> 00:21:56.619 the general public and the intelligence deep state industry itself recognized 00:21:56.619 --> 00:22:01.579 would be coming in the Octoputer, the age of the Octoputer, as it was being referred 00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:06.799 to in the late 1960s into the 1970s, and people started to realize what was taking shape. 00:22:06.939 --> 00:22:12.659 So yes, a mass storage system, obviously very important for an organization 00:22:12.659 --> 00:22:17.419 that works with mass amounts of data and wants to organize and call up that 00:22:17.419 --> 00:22:20.619 data in a moment's notice. And that was... 00:22:20.989 --> 00:22:25.549 A problem that was being worked on at that time in that time frame by a number of people. 00:22:25.709 --> 00:22:28.489 If you really want to get into the weeds of this, you can, of course, 00:22:28.649 --> 00:22:34.749 reject all cookies as possible and get all of the screen garbage off of the screen. 00:22:34.749 --> 00:22:38.729 And you can finally find this paper from 1970. 00:22:39.309 --> 00:22:44.209 A relational model of data for large shared databanks from EF Cod, 00:22:44.429 --> 00:22:48.489 which says future users of large databanks must be protected from having to 00:22:48.489 --> 00:22:52.589 know how the data is organized in the machine, the internal representation. 00:22:52.969 --> 00:22:57.569 A prompting service which supplies such information is not a satisfactory solution. 00:22:58.069 --> 00:23:01.409 Activities of users at terminals and most application programs should remain 00:23:01.409 --> 00:23:05.529 unaffected when the internal representation of data is changed and even when 00:23:05.529 --> 00:23:08.209 some aspects of the external representation are changed. 00:23:08.409 --> 00:23:12.349 Changes in data representation will often be needed as a result of changes in 00:23:12.349 --> 00:23:16.349 query, update, and report traffic and natural growth in the types of stored 00:23:16.349 --> 00:23:18.229 information. and yada, yada, yada. 00:23:18.429 --> 00:23:21.769 Read the rest in your own time if you so desire. 00:23:21.969 --> 00:23:27.349 But long story short, this paper is seen as the foundation of relational databases, 00:23:27.349 --> 00:23:32.109 which was an important and groundbreaking concept about a long, 00:23:32.269 --> 00:23:37.989 long, long and needlessly tech jargon heavy and yawn inducingly boring story short. 00:23:38.209 --> 00:23:44.969 This is about relational databases, the ability to query and search information 00:23:44.969 --> 00:23:49.029 from a database without knowing how that database is physically stored and organized, 00:23:49.189 --> 00:23:51.749 the actual architecture of the hardware itself. 00:23:52.668 --> 00:23:59.288 And also they can present that data in tables of rows and columns and can manipulate that data. 00:23:59.528 --> 00:24:04.648 Blah, blah, blah. It was a technical problem that had a technical solution. 00:24:04.648 --> 00:24:06.008 It started in this paper. 00:24:06.568 --> 00:24:13.008 Again, as you can find from any number of sources, this was combined with IBM 00:24:13.008 --> 00:24:17.348 and the work that it was doing on SQL in a couple of open source papers that 00:24:17.348 --> 00:24:19.068 were openly available at that time. 00:24:19.228 --> 00:24:23.988 And Ellison supposedly had the idea to combine these and to create the product, 00:24:23.988 --> 00:24:28.628 which would eventually go under the Oracle label, supposedly deriving from his 00:24:28.628 --> 00:24:32.568 work for Ampex and Project Oracle, the mass storage system. 00:24:32.708 --> 00:24:36.408 So again, cookie cutter, word salad, all of that up together, 00:24:36.408 --> 00:24:38.828 and you get the foundation of Oracle. 00:24:38.948 --> 00:24:44.268 If you do want more of the technical detail, you can watch a handy dandy explainer 00:24:44.268 --> 00:24:49.688 video called The Rise of Oracle SQL and the Relational Database from Asianometry channel. 00:24:49.688 --> 00:24:53.408 And it has a lot of the technical detail and the names and dates and figures 00:24:53.408 --> 00:24:56.548 in the development of that relational database concept. 00:24:56.688 --> 00:25:03.908 But let's not do the tech jargon heavy technical specifications of what was going on here. 00:25:04.068 --> 00:25:10.928 Can somebody please somebody break it down to feel good corporate deep state business babble for me? 00:25:12.428 --> 00:25:19.748 I am sort of drawn back to your really your career. And I think about it, 00:25:19.868 --> 00:25:21.528 you were a database administrator. 00:25:22.048 --> 00:25:29.648 And so you have been on the ground floor of just watching the importance of data increase. 00:25:29.968 --> 00:25:36.208 And so maybe you could just share a little bit with our group how you're using 00:25:36.208 --> 00:25:39.008 data, Oracle technology. 00:25:41.011 --> 00:25:45.491 Really keeping us all safe. Absolutely. So as you mentioned, 00:25:45.631 --> 00:25:50.011 Safra, I did, I humbly started as a database administrator and who would imagine 00:25:50.011 --> 00:25:52.331 I would be here today speaking with you. 00:25:52.471 --> 00:25:57.791 And so I think that that is just a testament of how powerful and transformative 00:25:57.791 --> 00:26:01.671 the technology is and how it's changed everything we do. 00:26:01.931 --> 00:26:07.851 I talked about how the data, we used it from an old school database but now 00:26:07.851 --> 00:26:12.051 it wouldn't be fair to have any type of event and not talk about gender AI. 00:26:12.771 --> 00:26:18.451 We in the intelligence community and the defense landscape want to be able to use gender AI as well. 00:26:18.791 --> 00:26:22.291 It can help to augment our missions all across many sectors. 00:26:22.951 --> 00:26:27.751 Everything we do from logistics to supply chain to cyber to finance to human 00:26:27.751 --> 00:26:32.511 resources, we want to be able to have that to help augment everything we do. 00:26:32.751 --> 00:26:36.051 And so I feel as though from that aspect we're no different than others. 00:26:36.331 --> 00:26:38.211 We want the translation capabilities. 00:26:38.611 --> 00:26:42.431 We want to be able to, through the summarization, 00:26:42.811 --> 00:26:47.691 we want to be able to have the rapid data and inferences to look at vast amounts 00:26:47.691 --> 00:26:52.851 of raw data in very different forms and all over and be able to make logic of 00:26:52.851 --> 00:26:54.371 that in a much faster realm. 00:26:54.571 --> 00:26:58.971 And so we have the same challenges as the commercial, and that's one thing that 00:26:58.971 --> 00:27:04.291 we always look to try to have in our classified spaces as best as possible parity 00:27:04.291 --> 00:27:08.551 to have the latest and the greatest in the spaces that we need it the most. 00:27:09.665 --> 00:27:15.325 Ah, thank you, CIA mouthpiece. Now I understand everything. 00:27:15.565 --> 00:27:20.845 Yes, of course, it makes perfect sense why the CIA would be interested in developing 00:27:20.845 --> 00:27:22.865 database technology generally. 00:27:22.865 --> 00:27:26.965 And of course, any and all technology that helps them not only to find, 00:27:27.125 --> 00:27:29.265 but to store, to analyze, 00:27:29.645 --> 00:27:35.845 to retrieve data at any time, because it's almost like data is the new oil in 00:27:35.845 --> 00:27:39.645 the intelligence economy that increasingly defines the deep state surveillance 00:27:39.645 --> 00:27:41.985 grid that is the modern world. 00:27:42.145 --> 00:27:45.385 Data is the new oil. I wonder where I've heard that phrase before. 00:27:45.645 --> 00:27:48.205 Anyway, yes, it makes perfect sense. 00:27:48.485 --> 00:27:52.145 So from databases to, of course, generative AI. 00:27:52.145 --> 00:27:57.185 And in fact, that little clip, stripped of all of the corporate business babble. 00:27:57.565 --> 00:28:01.985 Actually does provide a fairly good arc of the development of Ellison's Oracle 00:28:01.985 --> 00:28:07.345 Corporation, from the provider of Oracle database software and infrastructure 00:28:07.345 --> 00:28:09.445 for companies, and of course, 00:28:09.745 --> 00:28:15.145 the agency, first and foremost, to its modern iteration, which isn't so much 00:28:15.145 --> 00:28:21.345 about database technology or those types of services that it was once known for. 00:28:21.345 --> 00:28:27.005 No, what was that explosive growth that we saw in reflected in Larry Ellison's 00:28:27.005 --> 00:28:30.665 personal net worth last year, but of course, also in Oracle as well. 00:28:30.885 --> 00:28:33.985 That explosive, unbelievable, ridiculous, 00:28:34.205 --> 00:28:40.705 never seen before growth in Oracle's valuation last year was entirely on the 00:28:40.705 --> 00:28:46.145 hype on the back of the AI hype and the AI bubble that has formed that. 00:28:46.145 --> 00:28:49.085 But, oh, my God, AI is the new everything. 00:28:49.445 --> 00:28:54.245 And thus, Oracle has repositioned itself as the company that's going to provide 00:28:54.245 --> 00:28:59.725 and lease out the actual technical data center infrastructure to AI companies. 00:28:59.725 --> 00:29:03.965 And it is essentially operating more as a landlord now than as a tech company. 00:29:04.085 --> 00:29:09.385 But anyway, on the back of that, we saw that incredible, phenomenal growth in 00:29:09.385 --> 00:29:13.265 Larry Ellison's personal net worth, but Oracle's net worth as well. 00:29:14.013 --> 00:29:18.873 But all of this, I suppose, is interesting and certainly starts to get at the point. 00:29:19.033 --> 00:29:26.573 Yes, the Oracle was and is a CIA cutout that literally has its name in the origins 00:29:26.573 --> 00:29:32.093 of a CIA database mass storage system product and project. 00:29:32.533 --> 00:29:37.353 But who cares? What does any of this mean? Why should we care about this? 00:29:37.353 --> 00:29:43.813 Well, we should care because of what Larry Ellison plans to do with the control 00:29:43.813 --> 00:29:48.013 of one of the premier AI/data tech giants. 00:29:48.473 --> 00:29:52.613 So what does he plan to do with this? We don't have to go very far out on a 00:29:52.613 --> 00:29:56.153 limb for this. Again, we can take it straight from the horse's mouth himself. 00:29:56.633 --> 00:30:00.093 And he will tell us gladly about the things that he's planning to do. 00:30:00.093 --> 00:30:07.073 Things like using AI to surveil everyone at all times, in all places, 00:30:07.473 --> 00:30:11.753 during all activities, for the good of society, of course. 00:30:13.553 --> 00:30:19.553 Body cameras. We completely redesigned body cameras. Our body cameras cost 70 bucks. 00:30:19.893 --> 00:30:23.953 Normal body camera costs, I don't know, $7,000. dollars. 00:30:25.213 --> 00:30:31.073 Our body cameras are simply lenses, two lenses attached to your vest, 00:30:31.313 --> 00:30:33.033 attached to the smartphone that you're wearing. 00:30:34.433 --> 00:30:41.713 And we actually take the video that the police officer is, by the way, 00:30:41.813 --> 00:30:43.733 and the camera's always on, you don't turn it on and off. 00:30:44.353 --> 00:30:46.793 And by the way, the way you turn it on and on, you can't turn it off, 00:30:46.853 --> 00:30:47.533 I'm going to the bathroom. 00:30:47.933 --> 00:30:53.433 Oracle, I need two minutes to take a bathroom break and we'll turn it off. 00:30:55.853 --> 00:31:04.413 The truth is we don't really turn it off. What we do is we record it so no one 00:31:04.413 --> 00:31:09.033 can see it, but no one can get into that recording without a court order. 00:31:11.232 --> 00:31:12.872 So you get the privacy you requested. 00:31:15.672 --> 00:31:19.932 But a court order, if you get a court order, we will, you know, 00:31:20.032 --> 00:31:21.852 judge, you know, can order. 00:31:22.052 --> 00:31:24.412 I want to look at that. This so-called bathroom break. 00:31:25.512 --> 00:31:30.412 If something comes up, and plus I'm going to lunch with my friends. 00:31:31.032 --> 00:31:34.012 Oracle, I need an hour for privacy with lunch with my friends. God bless. 00:31:34.412 --> 00:31:37.952 We won't listen in unless there's a court order. But it's interesting. 00:31:37.952 --> 00:31:42.592 And we transmit the video back to headquarters. 00:31:43.292 --> 00:31:46.812 So headquarters and AI is constantly monitoring the video. 00:31:47.352 --> 00:31:52.412 Remember this terrible case in Memphis where the five police officers basically 00:31:52.412 --> 00:31:55.292 beat to death another citizen in Memphis? 00:31:55.752 --> 00:32:03.812 Well, that can't happen because it would be on TV at headquarters. 00:32:04.192 --> 00:32:08.232 Everyone would see it. Your body cams will be transmitting that. 00:32:08.652 --> 00:32:14.992 The police will be on their best behavior because we're constantly watching 00:32:14.992 --> 00:32:17.032 and recording everything that's going on. 00:32:17.432 --> 00:32:22.232 Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and 00:32:22.232 --> 00:32:23.892 reporting everything that's going on. 00:32:25.492 --> 00:32:28.632 And it's unimpeachable. The 00:32:28.632 --> 00:32:34.232 cars have cameras on them. I think we have a squad car here someplace. us. 00:32:35.012 --> 00:32:42.072 But those kind of applications, using AI, if we can use AI, and we're using AI to monitor the video. 00:32:42.372 --> 00:32:45.752 So if that altercation had occurred, that occurred in Memphis, 00:32:46.012 --> 00:32:48.392 the chief of police would be immediately notified. 00:32:49.312 --> 00:32:52.432 It's not people that are looking at those cameras. It's AI that's looking at 00:32:52.432 --> 00:32:55.752 the camera. No, no, no. You can't do this. It would be like a shooting. 00:32:56.012 --> 00:32:59.332 That's going to be immediately, that's going to be an event that's immediately, 00:32:59.692 --> 00:33:01.692 an alarm is going to go off. 00:33:03.692 --> 00:33:08.872 It's have supervision. In other words, every police officer is going to be supervised. 00:33:11.511 --> 00:33:12.351 At all times. 00:33:15.071 --> 00:33:18.251 And the supervision will, and if there's a problem, 00:33:18.751 --> 00:33:22.291 AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person, 00:33:22.531 --> 00:33:30.171 whether it's the sheriff or the chief or whomever, we need to take control of the situation. 00:33:31.831 --> 00:33:37.651 Okay. Constant panopticonic surveillance of everyone and everything at all times 00:33:37.651 --> 00:33:40.291 through AI-enabled cameras? Check. 00:33:41.091 --> 00:33:45.691 What else does Ellison plan to do with his AI overlord status? 00:33:45.951 --> 00:33:50.451 Well, how about delivering us warp speed MAGA jab 2.0? 00:33:50.991 --> 00:33:56.291 RNA and DNA personally tailored just for you and put in a genetic slurry straight 00:33:56.291 --> 00:33:59.811 into your arms, courtesy of his good friend, Donald Trump. 00:34:00.631 --> 00:34:04.911 So we're currently working on... Should I stop on this? Okay. All right. 00:34:06.311 --> 00:34:10.131 No, no, no. I'm not that tall. I'm not that tall. I'm not that tall. 00:34:14.171 --> 00:34:18.251 Thank you, Mr. President. One of the most exciting things we're working on, 00:34:18.731 --> 00:34:26.851 again, using the tools that Sam and Mossa are providing, is a cancer vaccine. It's very interesting. 00:34:27.611 --> 00:34:33.451 It turns out, I'll be quick, all of our cancers, cancer tumors, 00:34:33.971 --> 00:34:37.471 little fragments of those tumors float around in your blood. 00:34:38.644 --> 00:34:45.384 So you can do early cancer detection with a blood test. 00:34:47.024 --> 00:34:54.684 And using AI to look at the blood test, you can find the cancers that are actually 00:34:54.684 --> 00:34:56.104 seriously threatening the person. 00:34:56.264 --> 00:35:02.784 So we can, again, cancer diagnosis using AI has the promise of just being a simple blood test. 00:35:02.784 --> 00:35:10.184 Then beyond that, once we gene sequence that cancer tumor, 00:35:10.724 --> 00:35:18.184 you can then vaccinate the person, design a vaccine for every individual person 00:35:18.184 --> 00:35:20.284 to vaccinate them against that cancer. 00:35:20.864 --> 00:35:28.504 And you can make that vaccine, that mRNA vaccine, you can make that robotically 00:35:28.504 --> 00:35:31.064 again using AI in about 48 hours. 00:35:31.064 --> 00:35:36.604 So imagine early cancer detection, the development of a cancer vaccine for your 00:35:36.604 --> 00:35:41.404 particular cancer aimed at you, and have that vaccine available in 48 hours. 00:35:41.624 --> 00:35:44.844 This is the promise of AI and the promise of the future. 00:35:50.391 --> 00:35:58.371 Ah, wonderful. Yes. Okay. So AI-enabled technology to personally deliver you the mRNA vaccines. 00:35:58.511 --> 00:36:01.491 Dr. Ellison guarantees is good for what ails you. 00:36:02.071 --> 00:36:07.311 And what else can he do with his wonderful life-saving AI technology? 00:36:07.511 --> 00:36:11.771 Well, how about getting governments to feed literally all of the data that they're 00:36:11.771 --> 00:36:16.311 collecting on all of their citizens at all times into the AI data behemoth? 00:36:16.611 --> 00:36:20.051 So that he can tell us how to do everything. 00:36:21.511 --> 00:36:25.751 Tell us a bit about what, because you were right at the forefront of this revolution, 00:36:25.971 --> 00:36:29.871 what it means for what government should do in terms of its digital infrastructure, 00:36:30.571 --> 00:36:33.651 you know, digital ID, data centers, and so on. 00:36:34.551 --> 00:36:38.551 In other words, okay, if AI is really this great, how do I take advantage of 00:36:38.551 --> 00:36:40.031 it? Because the impacts are enormous. 00:36:40.611 --> 00:36:43.851 And it's very interesting because almost no one is talking about that. 00:36:44.331 --> 00:36:47.271 Everyone is talking about it, and I will answer the question, in just a second. 00:36:47.491 --> 00:36:52.031 Everyone's talking about these fantastic NVIDIA chips that allow us to build 00:36:52.031 --> 00:36:57.931 these huge AI models, how the data center, Oracle's building a 2.2 gigawatt data center that costs, 00:36:58.591 --> 00:37:05.491 between 50 and soon $100 billion to build these data centers and train these models. 00:37:05.731 --> 00:37:10.331 Because these models are so expensive, you won't build your own as a rule. 00:37:10.851 --> 00:37:14.011 There'll be a handful of these models. The question is, how do you take advantage 00:37:14.011 --> 00:37:16.651 of these incredible AI models? 00:37:17.771 --> 00:37:26.311 And the first thing a country needs to do is to unify all of their data so it 00:37:26.311 --> 00:37:29.491 can be consumed and used by the AI model. 00:37:29.831 --> 00:37:33.311 Everyone talks about the AI model, and they are astonishing. 00:37:33.691 --> 00:37:38.191 But how do you provide a context? I want to ask questions about my country. 00:37:38.671 --> 00:37:41.851 What's going on in my country? What's happening to my farmers? 00:37:42.111 --> 00:37:46.971 I need to give it my climate data. Now, it probably has your climate data already. 00:37:47.411 --> 00:37:56.711 But I need to know exactly what crops are growing and which farms to predict the output. 00:37:56.911 --> 00:38:01.571 So I have to take satellite images. I have to take those satellite images for 00:38:01.571 --> 00:38:07.891 my country and feed that into a database that is accessible by the AI model. 00:38:07.891 --> 00:38:13.551 So I have to tell, basically I have to tell the AI model as much about my country as I can. 00:38:13.871 --> 00:38:19.391 You tell part of the story with these satellite models. You give it a huge amount of information. 00:38:19.591 --> 00:38:24.911 You tell it where roads are, where borders are, where your utilities are. 00:38:25.071 --> 00:38:32.071 So you need to provide a map of your country for the farms and all of the utility 00:38:32.071 --> 00:38:33.831 infrastructure and your borders. 00:38:34.051 --> 00:38:40.451 All of that you have to provide. But beyond that, if you want to improve population 00:38:40.451 --> 00:38:45.491 health, you have to take all of your health care data, your diagnostic data. 00:38:46.051 --> 00:38:49.211 Your electronic health records, your genomic data. 00:38:49.391 --> 00:38:55.011 And, you know, in the Middle East, in the UAE, for example, they're incredibly rich in data. 00:38:55.611 --> 00:39:02.551 They have a lot of population data. The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data. 00:39:02.871 --> 00:39:07.991 But it's fragmented. It's not easily accessible by these AI models. 00:39:08.291 --> 00:39:14.371 We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single, 00:39:14.551 --> 00:39:17.151 if you will, unified data platform. 00:39:17.651 --> 00:39:24.111 So we provide context. When we want to ask a question, we've provided that AI 00:39:24.111 --> 00:39:27.671 model with all the data they need to understand our country. 00:39:27.851 --> 00:39:33.391 So that's the big step. That's kind of the missing link. We need to unify all 00:39:33.391 --> 00:39:38.431 of the national data, put it into a database where it's easily consumable by 00:39:38.431 --> 00:39:41.791 the AI model, and then ask whatever question you like. 00:39:43.874 --> 00:39:51.934 Ah, yes. Perhaps now you're starting to see what the Oracle project codename might really mean. 00:39:52.314 --> 00:39:56.234 What the real significance of that? The Oracle at Delphi? 00:39:56.414 --> 00:40:01.954 Well, at any rate, it seems that Ellison really does want us to think of the 00:40:01.954 --> 00:40:07.094 AI technology that he is helping to steward into existence for the benefit of 00:40:07.094 --> 00:40:09.914 his deep state buddies as a type of Oracle, 00:40:09.914 --> 00:40:14.934 which will be able to simply tell us how to do, well, everything. 00:40:15.174 --> 00:40:17.974 Anything that you ask, the AI will know. 00:40:18.114 --> 00:40:23.754 If you want more about that concept and how it is now becoming mainstreamized 00:40:23.754 --> 00:40:28.974 and popularized, you'll want to go back to episode 473 of the Corbett Report on Algocracy, 00:40:29.654 --> 00:40:34.094 government for the new world order at corbettreport.com/algocracy. 00:40:34.794 --> 00:40:38.294 But anyway, you get the point by now, I'm sure. 00:40:38.294 --> 00:40:42.914 Yes, this technology is going to tell us what to do, because it's going to see 00:40:42.914 --> 00:40:46.454 everything that we're doing at all times. It's going to analyze that data, 00:40:46.474 --> 00:40:50.094 and then it's going to spit out its orders for us. 00:40:50.534 --> 00:40:55.934 So, hmm, interesting. I think this is why we need to be concerned about Ellison's 00:40:55.934 --> 00:41:00.774 growing clout, at least as a middle manager for the deep state. 00:41:01.154 --> 00:41:05.334 And I think we should also be concerned by something else that was revealed 00:41:05.334 --> 00:41:07.534 in that previous this clip, which is. 00:41:08.334 --> 00:41:13.894 Ellison's close personal relation to various 2D surface state puppets, 00:41:14.114 --> 00:41:17.134 people in positions of political power, at least on the 2D board, 00:41:17.614 --> 00:41:22.234 like ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair, like, of course, current U.S. 00:41:22.394 --> 00:41:24.514 President Donald J. 00:41:24.694 --> 00:41:30.034 Trump, who, as we saw earlier, refers to CEO as a wonderful man and the CEO of everything. 00:41:30.274 --> 00:41:33.594 And later on in that same project, Stargate press conference, 00:41:33.754 --> 00:41:36.934 he goes on to say, Larry is so busy, I can't believe he's even here. 00:41:37.054 --> 00:41:41.594 It's an honor for our country to be talking to the, I mean, it's bizarre and 00:41:41.594 --> 00:41:46.514 disgusting the way Trump genuflects to the dark power of someone like Larry 00:41:46.514 --> 00:41:52.034 Ellison, but it is there on camera for all to see, as is Blair's interesting, 00:41:52.314 --> 00:41:56.294 fawning interview of Ellison at the World Government Summit. 00:41:56.474 --> 00:42:01.134 But something that they don't quite disclose in that conversation is that Blair 00:42:01.134 --> 00:42:05.314 works for Larry Ellison, essentially, Not directly, of course, 00:42:05.534 --> 00:42:07.474 but he is certainly funded. 00:42:07.634 --> 00:42:11.734 His bread is buttered by Larry Ellison, something that may not have been disclosed 00:42:11.734 --> 00:42:14.954 to the participants of aforesaid World Government Summit. 00:42:15.114 --> 00:42:18.154 But let's disclose it here and we can turn to something like, 00:42:18.274 --> 00:42:23.394 for example, Lighthouse Reports, which had this report up recently on Blair and the Billionaire. 00:42:24.007 --> 00:42:29.367 Which talks about how insiders reveal how Larry Ellison's money turned Blair's 00:42:29.367 --> 00:42:33.887 Institute into a tech sales and lobbying operation for Oracle. 00:42:34.167 --> 00:42:39.007 And specifically in this case, in the bewildering flurry of initiatives and 00:42:39.007 --> 00:42:43.107 charitable foundations that Tony Blair has created in the past couple of decades, 00:42:43.307 --> 00:42:46.227 one of them, the Tony Blair Institute of Global Change, 00:42:46.607 --> 00:42:50.927 is particularly interesting because the TBI isn't just a UK concern. 00:42:50.927 --> 00:42:56.667 It's now a global force working in at least 45 countries, employing other former 00:42:56.667 --> 00:43:00.867 heads of state, ex-ministers, and civil servants, and paying more than a million 00:43:00.867 --> 00:43:02.967 dollars to its top earners. 00:43:03.627 --> 00:43:08.607 And interestingly, the TBI, which again purports to be an institute of global 00:43:08.607 --> 00:43:12.967 change, is, well, has an overwhelming focus, which is technology. 00:43:13.667 --> 00:43:17.547 This report goes on to say that the ex-premier's trademark evangelism, 00:43:17.727 --> 00:43:21.427 that is Tony Blair's trademark evangelism, is now focused on AI, 00:43:21.887 --> 00:43:27.467 its power to transform government, and why everyone should listen to Larry Ellison, 00:43:27.827 --> 00:43:30.007 the founder of technology firm Oracle. 00:43:30.207 --> 00:43:35.067 And why? Why should they? Oh, because, well, while the Institute relies on Blair's 00:43:35.067 --> 00:43:39.147 political brand, its money comes in large part from Ellison. 00:43:39.287 --> 00:43:44.047 And it goes on to document that here in this report. Ellison invested $130 million 00:43:44.047 --> 00:43:51.067 in the TBI between 2021 and 2023, with a further $218 million pledged since then. 00:43:51.287 --> 00:43:55.807 The scale of funding took the TBI from a headcount of 200 to approaching 1,000. 00:43:56.047 --> 00:44:01.907 So yes, Ellison is very much funding and shepherding Tony Blair along in his 00:44:01.907 --> 00:44:05.307 efforts to bring global change about. 00:44:05.527 --> 00:44:09.727 What kind of global change? Well, algocracy and worship of AI, essentially. 00:44:10.147 --> 00:44:13.467 So anyway, there's much more detail in this report. And again, 00:44:13.587 --> 00:44:17.847 this report will be at corbettreport.com/ellison linked up along with 00:44:17.847 --> 00:44:20.147 everything else we're seeing, reading and hearing today. 00:44:20.887 --> 00:44:22.367 But yes, I think, 00:44:22.999 --> 00:44:27.679 Ellison's work, what he is specifically doing, the things that he wants to enact 00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:32.699 with his AI technology and the people and connections that he has through his 00:44:32.699 --> 00:44:36.439 funding and wealth and influence to make that happen should be concerning. 00:44:36.879 --> 00:44:41.579 But I guess there's a final layer to this onion of why should we care about 00:44:41.579 --> 00:44:44.279 Ellison and what he is doing with his money, his money? 00:44:44.879 --> 00:44:52.159 Well, that's That final layer is, what is it that he is trying to accomplish? 00:44:52.479 --> 00:44:57.439 Where does his allegiance lie? What is his motivating desire? 00:44:57.879 --> 00:45:01.879 Again, we don't have to speculate about this. We don't have to go out on a limb. 00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:04.559 We can take it directly from Ellison himself. 00:45:05.539 --> 00:45:11.299 Mr. Ellison, can you tell us what is your connection to his woman? Well, I'm... 00:45:12.314 --> 00:45:17.494 The renewal of the Jewish state is something that I think touches all of us. 00:45:18.514 --> 00:45:23.894 For 2,000 years, we were a stateless people. And now we have a country of our 00:45:23.894 --> 00:45:27.974 own, defended by all the brave men and women of the IDF. 00:45:28.354 --> 00:45:37.274 So anything we can do to support them who devote their lives for preserving the state of Israel, 00:45:37.274 --> 00:45:44.574 keeping the people safe and allowing our state to continue in sometimes a very, 00:45:44.634 --> 00:45:45.594 very difficult situation. 00:45:46.534 --> 00:45:53.834 Surprise! Yeah. Turns out Ellison is a committed Zionist shill who is all in 00:45:53.834 --> 00:45:57.934 favor of the Israeli operations in Gaza and elsewhere. 00:45:57.934 --> 00:46:02.454 And that, again, is documentable and demonstrable and on the record, 00:46:02.454 --> 00:46:08.314 not only from Ellison himself, but also from his ignominious track record of 00:46:08.314 --> 00:46:09.794 shilling for the Zionist cause. 00:46:09.794 --> 00:46:13.314 If you need more information about that, that can be garnered from a number of sources, 00:46:13.574 --> 00:46:18.994 like, say, this article from last year on openly pro-Israel tech group now has 00:46:18.994 --> 00:46:22.494 control over UK's most sensitive national security data, 00:46:22.714 --> 00:46:27.834 which is a report starting from the premise of the Oracle takeover of the UK 00:46:27.834 --> 00:46:33.794 Ministry of Defense and working from there to the real mission of Oracle, 00:46:34.074 --> 00:46:36.454 again, directly from Oracle itself. 00:46:37.205 --> 00:46:41.585 And you can start with the CEO of Oracle that we saw in that clip where the 00:46:41.585 --> 00:46:46.185 CEO of Oracle introduced the CIA spokesperson at the Oracle event fawning all over it. 00:46:46.245 --> 00:46:49.905 That was Safra Katz, who, for the record, of course, is an Israeli-American 00:46:49.905 --> 00:46:54.565 and who has made no bones about Oracle or its position on Israel. 00:46:54.765 --> 00:46:59.425 She has stated in 2021 at the opening of a new data center in Jerusalem, 00:46:59.685 --> 00:47:05.605 quote, we are not flexible regarding our mission and our commitment to Israel is second to none. 00:47:05.765 --> 00:47:08.085 This is a free world and I love my employees. 00:47:08.265 --> 00:47:11.085 And if they don't agree with our mission to support the state of Israel, 00:47:11.505 --> 00:47:13.665 then maybe we aren't the right company for them. 00:47:13.985 --> 00:47:19.945 Larry Ellison and I are publicly committed to Israel and devote personal time to the country. 00:47:19.985 --> 00:47:22.285 And no one should be surprised by that. 00:47:22.405 --> 00:47:27.225 But it's not just words, sorry, end quote, but it's not just words through which 00:47:27.225 --> 00:47:31.105 they have made clear that they are supportive of Israel. It is through actions 00:47:31.105 --> 00:47:33.165 and, more importantly, money. 00:47:33.625 --> 00:47:37.605 And you can get more on that in this article that says, quote, the billionaire, 00:47:37.945 --> 00:47:41.525 currently the fourth richest individual in the world, or sixth richest now, 00:47:41.685 --> 00:47:45.605 has bankrolled the Israeli Defense Forces IDF for years, 00:47:45.845 --> 00:47:50.105 giving tens of millions of dollars to the friends of the IDF, 00:47:50.305 --> 00:47:54.005 including the largest single donation the organization has ever received. 00:47:54.045 --> 00:48:00.345 In 2017 alone, he, Ellison, pledged $16.6 million to build a new training facility 00:48:00.345 --> 00:48:04.665 for IDF soldiers, defending, in his words, our home. 00:48:04.785 --> 00:48:07.905 And it goes on to quote him, through all of the perilous time since Israel's 00:48:07.905 --> 00:48:11.285 founding, we have called on the brave men and women of the IDF to defend our home. 00:48:11.465 --> 00:48:14.965 In my mind, there is no greater honor than supporting some of the bravest people 00:48:14.965 --> 00:48:19.065 in the world. And I think, I thank friends of the IDF for allowing us to celebrate 00:48:19.065 --> 00:48:21.525 and support these soldiers year after year. 00:48:21.705 --> 00:48:25.985 We should do all we can to show these heroic soldiers that they are not alone. 00:48:26.844 --> 00:48:31.404 He goes on to say, this was far from his first donation to the organization. 00:48:31.664 --> 00:48:37.024 Three years previously, he, Ellison, gave $9 million at a star-studded gala, 00:48:37.264 --> 00:48:41.084 the largest donation on a record-breaking night for the FIDF. 00:48:41.304 --> 00:48:45.884 The big tech mogul also has a direct hand in furthering the Israeli settlement project. 00:48:46.124 --> 00:48:51.504 In 2007, he met with then-foreign minister Zippy Livni to pledge half a million 00:48:51.504 --> 00:48:56.424 dollars in support to the Israeli border town of Strat. But if Ellison can count 00:48:56.424 --> 00:49:00.404 Livni as a friend, then Benjamin Netanyahu is virtually family. 00:49:00.684 --> 00:49:05.584 Their pair have been close for many years. Ellison even flew Netanyahu out to 00:49:05.584 --> 00:49:08.644 his private Hawaiian island to vacation together. 00:49:08.924 --> 00:49:12.984 There, he offered the embattled prime minister a seat on Oracle's board, 00:49:13.204 --> 00:49:16.144 replete with a salary of $450,000. 00:49:16.744 --> 00:49:21.304 End quote. You can go on reading more about the details and connections in this 00:49:21.304 --> 00:49:25.064 thorough article, but I think you get the tenor of this information. 00:49:25.064 --> 00:49:28.524 In case not, you can find even more details from DropSite News, 00:49:28.704 --> 00:49:30.904 which recently reported on Larry 00:49:30.904 --> 00:49:36.664 Ellison vetted Marco Rubio for fealty to Israel hacked emails reveal, 00:49:37.104 --> 00:49:40.484 which documents exactly what it says in that headline, 00:49:40.824 --> 00:49:44.924 namely the fact that Larry Ellison was busy vetting Marco Rubio back during 00:49:44.924 --> 00:49:51.004 his 2015 campaign run for president, where it, interestingly, 00:49:51.284 --> 00:49:54.764 as a sidebar, it notes something that I think is interesting here. 00:49:55.204 --> 00:49:59.784 A Wired piece apparently recently characterized it as the Ellison family is 00:49:59.784 --> 00:50:04.524 cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did, 00:50:04.624 --> 00:50:07.404 railroads and the Rockefellers did, oil. 00:50:08.664 --> 00:50:13.624 Oil is the new data. Once again, interesting. Or data is the new oil, I should say. Anyway, 00:50:14.304 --> 00:50:22.304 It goes through the email record between Larry Ellison and a Rubio campaign advisor. 00:50:22.724 --> 00:50:27.384 And this person was talking to Ellison. How was the conversation with Marco 00:50:27.384 --> 00:50:29.364 Rubio? Did he pass your scrutiny? 00:50:29.624 --> 00:50:32.684 Did you have a chance to talk about Israel? Would love to chat. 00:50:32.824 --> 00:50:34.864 To which Ellison replied a few hours later. 00:50:35.164 --> 00:50:39.304 Hi, Ron. Great meeting with Marco Rubio. I set him up to meet with Tony Blair, 00:50:39.844 --> 00:50:44.604 adding Marco will be a great friend for Israel. Again, more reporting on the 00:50:44.604 --> 00:50:47.044 meat and potatoes of that in this article. 00:50:47.244 --> 00:50:51.444 But yes, it is there in black and white. Ellison personally vetting various 00:50:51.444 --> 00:50:57.744 candidates for the political puppet in chief, the person who stands in the Oval 00:50:57.744 --> 00:51:00.764 Office and does what Benjamin Netanyahu tells him to do. 00:51:01.044 --> 00:51:04.304 Larry Ellison thought Rubio might be good for the job. And who knows? 00:51:04.444 --> 00:51:07.184 Maybe 2028, guys. He's got the Ellison seal of approval. 00:51:08.092 --> 00:51:12.512 We'll see. Anyway, none of this should truly be surprising. I say surprise. 00:51:12.692 --> 00:51:16.372 Ellison is a Zionist. But again, this shouldn't be truly surprising to people paying attention. 00:51:16.852 --> 00:51:22.032 For example, Derek Brose had an important post up for The Last American Vagabond 00:51:22.032 --> 00:51:24.552 last November, the technocratic Trump administration. 00:51:24.892 --> 00:51:29.792 The Zionist infiltration expands where he talked about Ellison and his role 00:51:29.792 --> 00:51:34.932 in the Trump 2.0 administration and what it portends for this administration, 00:51:34.932 --> 00:51:40.432 which unfortunately we have just seen come to fruition in the past week or two 00:51:40.432 --> 00:51:42.292 with Operation Epstein Fury. 00:51:43.152 --> 00:51:48.612 But he notes, in the context of this November 2025 report, Ellison is once again 00:51:48.612 --> 00:51:51.832 in the running to gain a majority stake in TikTok. And we've already seen how 00:51:51.832 --> 00:51:57.372 that eventuated. And we reported on that in New World Next Week recently. But anyway, why TikTok? 00:51:57.652 --> 00:51:59.932 Why is that important? Well, Bros 00:51:59.932 --> 00:52:04.192 goes on to talk about that issue and its importance here in this article. 00:52:04.192 --> 00:52:08.412 With Larry Ellison set to gain control of TikTok and David Ellison quickly accumulating 00:52:08.412 --> 00:52:12.572 a media empire, the Zionist forces within the Israeli government have accomplished 00:52:12.572 --> 00:52:15.072 a successful coup over American minds. 00:52:15.252 --> 00:52:18.692 In the coming years, the Ellisons will be an increasingly important tool for 00:52:18.692 --> 00:52:23.552 the Zionists to attempt to rehabilitate the crumbling image of Israel. 00:52:23.552 --> 00:52:27.872 And that is exactly where we stand. And that brings us more or less up to speed 00:52:27.872 --> 00:52:29.832 to the most recent development, 00:52:30.092 --> 00:52:35.292 the Paramount Skydance takeover of Warner Brothers and the consolidation of so, 00:52:35.532 --> 00:52:45.232 so, so many incredible media brands under the stewardship of David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son. 00:52:45.232 --> 00:52:49.452 And yes, Larry Ellison is personally financially involved in these various ventures, 00:52:49.472 --> 00:52:53.172 as we've already seen, and which can be well documented from other sources. 00:52:53.372 --> 00:52:59.492 But at any rate, yes, the Ellison family are now certified media moguls with 00:52:59.492 --> 00:53:03.872 incredible amounts of control over what people are seeing, hearing, 00:53:04.032 --> 00:53:05.612 and reading on a daily basis. 00:53:06.535 --> 00:53:12.935 So the real question then becomes, well, does the David Apple fall far from the Larry Ellison tree? 00:53:13.455 --> 00:53:18.315 And the answer is, of course not. And let's go through and document it. 00:53:18.435 --> 00:53:22.475 So is David Ellison, like Larry, his father, an AI shill? 00:53:23.895 --> 00:53:27.895 First, everything we do, obviously, at Paramount is really about empowering 00:53:27.895 --> 00:53:29.155 artists to tell great stories. 00:53:29.375 --> 00:53:33.395 And I think artificial intelligence is a remarkable tool to be able to do that. 00:53:33.395 --> 00:53:38.735 And you're right, it absolutely will impact every aspect of basically our business. 00:53:38.955 --> 00:53:42.635 It's going to impact our platforms, right? When you think about what has been 00:53:42.635 --> 00:53:46.095 kind of the traditional machine learning for the next 10 years and how frontier 00:53:46.095 --> 00:53:47.975 models are going to really, 00:53:49.179 --> 00:53:52.399 impact things like search. I mean, you're already seeing that was obviously 00:53:52.399 --> 00:53:56.239 ChatGPT and Google discovery, how things are recommended to you. 00:53:56.379 --> 00:53:59.819 We're going to get a lot better at that. And to me, a combination of those two 00:53:59.819 --> 00:54:01.119 technologies working together. 00:54:02.299 --> 00:54:05.899 But also, I think when you I'll use animation as an example. 00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:11.499 The main issue right now for professional content creation is all around this 00:54:11.499 --> 00:54:12.919 notion of controllability, right? 00:54:13.319 --> 00:54:16.059 You know, the greatest filmmakers in the world are not going to tell stories 00:54:16.059 --> 00:54:18.139 through text prompts. I just don't think you're ever going to live in a world 00:54:18.139 --> 00:54:18.999 where that happens. You don't. 00:54:19.259 --> 00:54:25.419 I don't. But what I think you will eventually get to is a place where model-based 00:54:25.419 --> 00:54:30.179 GPU pipelines are going to give you the same level of control that a filmmaker 00:54:30.179 --> 00:54:31.419 has on set with his camera. 00:54:31.699 --> 00:54:35.499 And when that happens, you're going to be able to tell better stories because 00:54:35.499 --> 00:54:36.679 you're going to be able to iterate faster. 00:54:38.379 --> 00:54:41.619 All right. David Ellison, AI show. Check. 00:54:41.999 --> 00:54:46.399 All right. So is David, like his father Larry, also a committed Zionist? 00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:52.639 A fascinating new report from Variety offers insight into what's coming at Paramount. 00:54:52.859 --> 00:54:58.079 As you know, Paramount executives have been outspoken about their stance on the conflict in Gaza. 00:54:58.579 --> 00:55:03.139 This past September, the company became the first major Hollywood studio to 00:55:03.139 --> 00:55:07.899 publicly reject a high-profile letter signed by stars including Emma Stone and 00:55:07.899 --> 00:55:13.219 Javier Bardem that urged a cultural boycott of Israeli film institutions accused 00:55:13.219 --> 00:55:16.559 of engaging in genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. 00:55:17.219 --> 00:55:19.699 Warner Brothers later took the same position. 00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:26.619 Sources tell Variety that it has gone as far as Paramount creating a sort of 00:55:26.619 --> 00:55:31.099 blacklist of talent the studio will not work with because they are deemed to 00:55:31.099 --> 00:55:33.359 be overtly anti-Semitic. 00:55:33.519 --> 00:55:35.799 So I remember I've heard I've read this. 00:55:36.199 --> 00:55:41.399 Someone else said this, but I remember when being an anti-Semite meant that you hated Jews. 00:55:41.959 --> 00:55:45.039 Now being an anti-Semite means Jews hate you. 00:55:49.935 --> 00:55:53.555 Okay, David Ellison, Zionist Bill. 00:55:53.935 --> 00:55:59.935 Okay, check. Okay, but he's not using his position of power and influence in 00:55:59.935 --> 00:56:04.675 order to spy on Americans for the help of Israel and his deep state buddies, 00:56:04.675 --> 00:56:06.495 like his father, Larry, right? 00:56:07.555 --> 00:56:11.935 Well, the man who now owns CBS, one of the biggest news networks in the country 00:56:11.935 --> 00:56:14.955 has close ties to Israeli intelligence. 00:56:15.315 --> 00:56:20.195 A new investigation from the gray zone shows David Ellison met with top Israeli 00:56:20.195 --> 00:56:25.055 generals who run a secret spy network that's been caught spying on Americans. 00:56:25.315 --> 00:56:29.395 What was he doing meeting with an Israeli spy? So you're telling me that one 00:56:29.395 --> 00:56:32.875 of the most powerful people who's in charge of shaping what we see every day 00:56:32.875 --> 00:56:37.075 on the news might also be working hand in hand with a foreign government that spies on us? 00:56:38.615 --> 00:56:42.055 Oh okay i guess he is using 00:56:42.055 --> 00:56:45.275 his power and influence to spy on Americans for 00:56:45.275 --> 00:56:48.555 the help of the Israeli/deep state 00:56:48.555 --> 00:56:52.435 stooges that he keeps company with yay okay so 00:56:52.435 --> 00:56:57.955 yes the David Ellison apple does not fall far from the Larry Ellison tree as 00:56:57.955 --> 00:57:02.655 is to be expected but it's good to have all of this on record anyway and to 00:57:02.655 --> 00:57:10.315 know to have some better understanding of who the Ellisons are and why their growing media clout, 00:57:10.475 --> 00:57:18.915 let alone technological clout, is something to be aware of and wary of for a number of reasons. 00:57:19.135 --> 00:57:22.335 And I hope if you have watched this episode all the way to the end, 00:57:22.455 --> 00:57:25.595 I hope you now have a better understanding of who the Ellison's are, 00:57:25.715 --> 00:57:28.695 who they are connected to, where their power and influence comes from, 00:57:28.815 --> 00:57:33.915 how they are attempting to wield that power and influence and why we should be concerned. 00:57:34.015 --> 00:57:39.215 And if you have put all those pieces together and have an idea now of who the 00:57:39.215 --> 00:57:47.835 Ellisons are, then perhaps now you understand why the Izanami backwards fiasco is so darkly ironic. 00:57:49.062 --> 00:57:51.922 Perhaps we'll leave this exploration here for today. 00:57:52.062 --> 00:57:56.842 There is much more to be said about the Ellison story, about his upward rise 00:57:56.842 --> 00:58:01.182 through the ranks of the deep state, how he came to a position of prominence, 00:58:01.322 --> 00:58:03.862 his psychopathic tendencies, 00:58:04.422 --> 00:58:09.022 or at least sociopathic tendencies that have been reported multiply by many, 00:58:09.142 --> 00:58:13.922 many people who have worked with him and for him over the years from well before 00:58:13.922 --> 00:58:16.022 he was ever rich or powerful. 00:58:16.422 --> 00:58:22.502 People have definitely remarked on his singular personality and his remarkable 00:58:22.502 --> 00:58:27.982 ideas for basically ruthlessly accomplishing what he wants to accomplish. 00:58:28.182 --> 00:58:32.902 The dumpster diving as part of his grudge against Microsoft being just one of 00:58:32.902 --> 00:58:34.822 many, many stories that we could throw out there. 00:58:35.022 --> 00:58:38.382 But I think we'll leave this exploration here for today. 00:58:38.542 --> 00:58:42.362 I think there's much more to be said on the Ellisons, and I'm sure I will have 00:58:42.362 --> 00:58:44.062 cause to say more of it in the future. 00:58:44.862 --> 00:58:50.622 But having said that, as I said, all of the things that I talked about today 00:58:50.622 --> 00:58:55.022 will be available in the transcript/show notes for today's episode at 00:58:55.022 --> 00:58:57.522 corbettreport.com/ellison. 00:58:57.722 --> 00:59:03.502 So I hope you will go and explore and use that resource to start your own investigation 00:59:03.502 --> 00:59:04.702 into the Ellison family. 00:59:04.862 --> 00:59:09.002 And as always, I would like Corbett Report members to report back to headquarters. 00:59:09.002 --> 00:59:12.542 If you find other interesting cookie crumbs along this trail, 00:59:12.742 --> 00:59:14.342 please do let us all know. 00:59:14.502 --> 00:59:17.782 We would all like to hear them.
