When it comes to presidential candidates, it’s worth remembering: The Kentucky Derby is won by horses, but it’s the owners who get the prize money.
In my opinion, Larry Ellison (Oracle) is the most strategic billionaire influencer, a long-term thinker, in the modern era. Larry Ellison is about to take control of TikTok, while his son David Ellison gains CBS and will likely move Bari Weiss into content control. Next up, CNN. Funnily enough, while Elon was the shiny thing, Larry smiled. Keep watching.
The framework of the U.S. TikTok deal is becoming clear. The New York Times has the best write up.
(NEW YORK TIMES) – The software giant Oracle will oversee the security of Americans’ data and monitor changes and updates to TikTok’s powerful recommendation technology under a new deal to avert a ban of the service, according to a senior White House official.
A copy of the algorithm, the recommendation engine that powers the app’s addictive feed of short videos, will be licensed from China to an American investor group that will oversee the app in the United States, the official said.
Oracle will also invest in the new American TikTok, as will the private equity firm Silver Lake, another senior official said.
It will be “secured” in the United States outside the control of TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, one of the officials said. The U.S.-run TikTok will work to retrain the copy on users’ data in the United States, and China will not have access to the data, the officials added.
The deal is an effort to meet the requirements of a law that would have banned TikTok in the United States unless ByteDance relinquished control of the app. It was intended to address national security concerns that the app’s ownership could give Beijing a channel to spread propaganda or to collect sensitive data about Americans.
[…] Under the terms of the deal, American companies will own around 80 percent of the American version of the app. ByteDance and other Chinese investors will own less than 20 percent.
In the United States, TikTok will be operated by a board of directors with national security and cybersecurity credentials, one of the senior officials said. ByteDance will choose one director on the seven-member board, and that person will be excluded from TikTok’s security committee.
The exact mix of investors has been in flux. Mr. Trump hinted this weekend that the media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan were considering an investment, which could come through the media giant Fox Corporation, a person familiar with the talks said.
The president is expected to issue an executive order later this week that declares that the terms of the deal meet national security concerns. (read more)
As a social media system, TikTok is generally a U.S, North American and Asian platform. Europe is not a big factor and it’s nonexistent in Russia. If you map the nations with the highest density of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) the outcome will overlay with a heat map of TikTok’s strongest audience.
In an interview on Fox News Sunday morning, President Trump said that Michael Dell was “involved” in the deal, and that billionaires Lachlan Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch would also “probably be in the group.”
The new investment entity created through the Technocratic deal would have a seven-member board of directors, with ByteDance allowed to choose one. The ByteDance-appointed board member would be excluded from the company’s security committee.
The Five-Eyes will have control over the user data, and the agenda of the sixth eye will be retained in the western algorithm.
Sundance, your image of the Megalopolis vs the Agrarian ( happy) society would be an apropos insertion to this eye-opening development that you seem to have seen coming down the pike for awhile . REGARDLESS of who is POTUS at that point of inflection I know which I’d opt for…🤔😏.
Coming soon to a theatre near … all of us!
What if “America First” really means first down the chute?
The crowd in the pic above has absolutely no “Situational Awareness”. Just the way the wolves like it.
something more sinister is there. they are pretending to blend while surveilling around them (the smart ones). its a tool to be public while not being social because you look busy.
training people to sociliaze by not socializing. keeps people in their friend circles.
Using or trusting ‘experts’ who aren’t will lead to a complete collapse.

Discernment and awareness is a key to keeping your limited ‘freedom’.
Ellison is a CIA asset since the 70’s. Ellison largest political donation recipient is Tim Scott. Which committees does Senator Scott sit on?
what is his role as CIA asset? What are the implications for the average American?
Would you rather have the US or PRC government seeing your Tic Toc data? I don’t use the app.
That’s the best solution….don’t use it! I’m with you there!
I use LinkedIn only…and that’s just for career related purposes. I ignore the “facebook-like” posts generally.
Why was it that there was no strategy for a rival American company to first set up a TikTok like application and then, second -the US government shuts down the Chinese version in the USA? Spending vast sums of money and still allowing the CCP license a version of TikTok makes no sense.
Whatever going on won’t be good for the American people. They’re done with us.
It’s all smoke and mirrors..
I refuse to use it while I watch people around me not only use it, but create videos that I see getting reposted on FB. So I see it.
Notice all of the young people on their ‘smartphones’ slowly going downhill along with their attention span and their ability to think critically.
On the other hand, instead of waiting 10 years for the Zapruder film, or swallowing the 9/11 line for 20, now our young people are solving the mysteries and seeing through the official splat in only a few days.
A ban would have been best!
I heard it was Barron and Charlie Kirk who convinced Trump to save TikTok because it’s so important to the youth.
‘If you map the nations with the highest density of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) the outcome will overlay with a heat map of TikTok’s strongest audience.’
Bingo.
It is apparently one of multiple mechanisms degrading the US Axis, varying by region.
Degradation synergies including:
-Biowarfare (2-part design, engineered virus + modRNA shots)
-Holistic plandemic effects
-Destructive illicit drugs
-Marxism
-Massive immigration
-Education
-Climate canard (Energy / transportation infrastructure)
-Industry
-Runaway sovereign debt
On biowarfare democide: It’s been observed that Charlie Kirk was against shot mandates. Replicons are being prepared for biowarfare democide Stage 2, he was becoming an increasingly powerful influence connected to Trump and Vance et al and would have been an obstacle to mass deployment. Instead he has been turned into a martyr galvanizing a political surge to steer for increasing government surveillance and “pre-crime” intervention (Police State) to “protect us from the nut jobs and domestic terrorists”. Ironically, this will HELP force Replicons into the populace with the next manufactured plandemic.
The degradation synergies including TikTok brain rot affect only the US Axis. NOT the China/Russia Axis. That’s the clue to what is happening.
‘…galvanizing a political surge to steer for increasing government surveillance and “pre-crime” intervention (Police State) to “protect us from the nut jobs and domestic terrorists” ‘
It’s very important to strengthen the Police State at the same time the TikTok and other degradations sink the US.
Because the planned end state is a degraded US under totalitarian control, as part of “Multi-Polar Global Governance”.
Some suggest antifa was cultivated to gain populist support of a Police State to combat it, as another step toward this goal.
Do you support Trump going after antifa? Of course you do. It’s a brilliant design.

Continuing the view of the US TikTok PsyWar operation as part of a larger Program degrading the US toward a Police State:
If you understand how the Charlie Kirk assassination has galvanized an escalation of Police State powers (likely with your support), you are ready to digest the implications of this:

And if you doubt that a palm gun could do this, note that an Israeli company developed the SMASH system several years ago, it is possible that a covert miniaturized system could have been developed for such an application.

The mass insidious mind-warping of US TikTok will continue.
The “security” issue is a red herring.
Transferring control to a majority US board makes perfect sense, as the US elites are the entities sinking the US from within, manipulated by a Hidden Hand.
Mind-warping continues.
Yet they still buy property all over the nation. Scary.
Will someone please translate: ‘The Five-Eyes will have control over the user data, and the agenda of the sixth eye will be retained in the western algorithm.’ for me? I understand who the five-eye nations are, but what is the reference to ‘the sixth eye’? Is that Japan? China? Someone please enlighten me, if you would.
I don’t understand all this except to say that this doesn’t sound good to me.
I’m not on tik tok, but everyone I know is and they don’t care about the Chinese.
Sounds like they are creating the Federal Reserve of tik toc. This doesn’t sound good at all. Larry Ellison!!
Larry Ellison would be far, far less had he not latched onto the CIA in beginning Oracle.
These people are not apex predators – they are apex parasites.
I’m not convinced that this (or any other “deal”) will prevent the ChiComs from:
1) Gathering data about Americans
2) Influencing American citizens with Commie propaganda
3) Embedding hidden controls (viruses) in our infrastructure that pose SERIOUS national security risks
ALL this (or any deal) will accomplish is to allow AMERICAN billionaires to dip THEIR fingers in the pie
It’s a bad idea, and one that I wish DJT would reconsider. Just OUTLAW this app in the US and be done with it!
And now we await the new alternative to tiktok that’s surely just weeks away from release. Tiktok is about to be the next ‘MySpace’… uncool and unloved almost overnight. I think there’s a fair bit of migration to Instagram in the last year or so, eh? I don’t keep up with soc-media platforms much, so I’m surely out of the loop.
These apps are the modern day plague of locusts.
If you map the nations with the highest density of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) the outcome will overlay with a heat map of TikTok’s strongest audience.….So Good Sundance!
U.S. wants the user data… taking it away from China
Forget user data. That is the least of the harm caused by the transition to a smartphone brainless society.
Not for me.
Why on our God’s green earth would President Trump allow this to go through?
“The five eyes will have control over user data.”
All smartphones are a means of extracting data for the government.
People, me included, continue to use these phones even knowing that every movement I made can be tracked by my phone. I’ve accepted the reality of it.
What are the implications for the average American?
How has our government changed from the days when our Constitution was formulated?
A government that can have data on every person in the country in real time is EXACTLY what the founders tried so hard to prevent!
I don’t know how to square that circle.
