This is exactly as expected.  Larry Ellison now controls TikTok while his son David Ellison now controls Paramount/Skydance which is CBS.  To solidify the objective of TikTok, new algorithms will be implemented, while to solidify the objective of CBS, Bari Weiss is hired as Editor-in-Chief of news. [Paramount Announcement]

The Trump administration assisted both the purchase of TikTok by Larry Ellison, and the acquisition of Paramount by David Ellison.  CBS settled with President Trump for $16 million.  Paramount then purchases/acquires Bari Weiss online site The Free Press and moves Weiss to editor of CBS news, while President Trump triggers a tariff against Hollywood production movies not made in the USA.

L Ellison (Oracle, TikTok), Musk (X, SpaceX), Thiel (Palantir), Sacks (Crypto), Karp (Palantir) and D Ellison (CBS) are all well positioned to fundamentally change the way information is processed for public consumption.  CNN (Disney) is likely to be the final piece of the puzzle to be assembled.

David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Bari and The Free Press to Paramount and CBS News. Bari is a proven champion of independent, principled journalism, and I am confident her entrepreneurial drive and editorial vision will invigorate CBS News. This move is part of Paramount’s bigger vision to modernize content and the way it connects – directly and passionately – to audiences around the world.” (LINK)

Google’s subsidiary social media platform, YouTube, has agreed to pay Donald Trump $24.5 million in a settlement resulting from the 2021 lawsuit filed over deplatforming.

President Trump will use the settlement funds to build the White House ballroom; somewhat of an irony all things considered.

Wall Street Journal – YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a 2021 lawsuit that President Trump brought against the company and its chief executive over its suspension of Trump’s account after that year’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to court papers.

The settlement makes YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet’s Google, the final Big Tech company to settle a trio of lawsuits Trump brought against social-media platforms in the months after he left the White House. Meta Platforms agreed in January to pay $25 million, most of it to a fund for Trump’s presidential library, and X agreed to pay $10 million, much of it going directly to Trump, The Wall Street Journal previously reported.

A recent video was shared where you see Will Wilson, co-founder of Antithesis, an AI contractor for Palantir say: “It’s very possible that we’re entering a world where very soon any kind of cognitive labor, any kind of reason, any kind of thought… It’ll be a thing that weirdos do.”

Will Wilson is not wrong and he frames a context for a discussion that needs to happen. Beyond the intellectual analysis of the problem he is outlining, is the disconnect away from God that also permeates the conversation. What exactly is it that makes us human?

This issue is not coming, it’s very much here and current. There is a reason why CTH maintains the position that AI arguments should not be engaged as assists or used in discussion of our topics.

A reminder, our discussing this race to the future and who was creating it was in 2011. Fourteen years ago, we first broached the topic. At the time of our first discussion in 2011 we theorized we would approach the point of no return in approximately 20 years. We are two-thirds of the way through the timeline.

The conversation continues….

Sometimes it’s the things you don’t see that tell the story.

The United States Secret Service announced today [Press Release Here] they have intercepted a New York tristate telecommunications network that posed an imminent disruption threat. “The potential for disruption to our country’s telecommunications posed by this network of devices cannot be overstated,” said U.S. Secret Service Director Sean Curran. “The U.S. Secret Service’s protective mission is all about prevention, and this investigation makes it clear to potential bad actors that imminent threats to our protectees will be immediately investigated, tracked down and dismantled.”

Pay attention to what agency was not involved. WATCH:

NEW YORK – The U.S. Secret Service dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials, which represented an imminent threat to the agency’s protective operations.

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.

During the memorial service for Charlie Kirk, billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump were reunited after several months of well publicized division.

Billionaire Elon Musk is in a very unusual political influence position.  With one foot in the billionaire Larry Ellison camp (professional/traditional GOP system), and one foot in the billionaire Peter Thiel camp (new era represented by JD Vance), Musk stands between and within these two groups and will never directly conflict with either tribal assembly.

We will never see Elon Musk in an openly public position of conflict against Oracle or Google.  Nor will we see Musk in an openly public position of conflict against Palantir or Alex Karp.  This is the bigger technocrat tent.

Under current policy constructs, all of the technocratic group members are benefiting financially; there is no risk to the future of their financial priorities; all of their collective planets are aligned.  Thus, the individual members within the group begin to comfortably focus on ¹specific subjects of their individual priority without worry about finance.

¹Both Ellisons, Larry and David, have assembled expanded information control systems (CBS, potentially TikTok and CNN) and are now positioned for great influence in 2028. Ellison will back a candidate, unknown to us at this moment – but undoubtedly Ellison has the person already identified.  Ellison’s candidate will be pro-Israel.  Simultaneously, for 2028 Peter Thiel will support JD Vance.  Elon Musk has one foot in each network.

During questioning today, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley questioned FBI Director Kash Patel about additional information gathered by Grassley’s staff about FBI operation “Arctic Frost.”

Arctic Frost should not be a surprise to Treehouse readers as we previously outlined the operation in March of this year. Arctic Frost was an investigation of President Trump and ALL supporters of Donald Trump in the aftermath of the fraudulent 2020 election. [SEE HERE]

Operation Arctic Frost was the highly political FBI investigation that issued search warrants including to the Twitter platform for the records of all followers and users of the platform who were associated with the account of President Trump.

As previously outlined, Elon Musk complied with the DOJ/FBI subpoena releasing the identity of all user accounts who liked, followed, retweeted or engaged the Twitter account of President Donald J Trump.  All of the banking records for Trump supporter groups were also subpoenaed including Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA [SEE HERE]

.

It’s a little odd for FBI Director Kash Patel to sit in front of Grassley who is outlining an example of the institutional corruption within the agency, while Democrats on the senate committee are questioning Kash Patel about adverse impacts to the corrupt institutional participants.

For almost two years, there has been a background conversation with a handful of people watching the Silicon Valley network closely and monitoring every move and position they take.  They hold an entirely divergent set of motives that are not aligned with Making America Great Again behind this crew.

Initially it was supposed to be closed to the press, but President Trump decided to bring in the media as interest increased. President Trump hosted a significant group of some of the most influential tech leaders into the White House for dinner.

In large measure, this group is not -by disposition- very favorable toward President Trump, however with the power of the office they understand how dependent they are to his favor.   From his perspective, Trump is leveraging the power and ingenuity of advanced technological capacity against adversaries who might align against ¹U.S. dominance (China, Russia et al), so this group represents a capability he is leveraging.

Some of the group, looking specifically at Bill Gates, are just plain globalist a-holes, promoting their self-importance as global influencers. President Trump’s decision to open the doors to the media puts the group in an uncomfortable position as they are then forced to reveal publicly their opinion of the assembly. [Insert fox smiling picture here].  WATCH:

¹Russian President Vladimir Putin made remarks earlier in the day about discussions with President Trump and corporate global energy developers about collaborating in the artic circle and Alaska.

In the big picture, President Trump wants both peace and economic abundance globally, and while regional interests like Ukraine influence the background of collaboration, nonetheless the desire remains.

One side has raw industrial power; the other has technological capabilities. President Trump is leveraging the abilities of the latter against the strength of the former.

I enjoy watching this dance.

Somewhere in my smiling dream state I imagine Tulsi Gabbard and Marco Rubio discussing the challenges when President Trump walks into the room and says, “eh, quit worrying; if we need to, we can turn off their little machines. C’mon, let’s go eat tacos, and Marco can tell us about his trip down south.”

The Sea Island banking and finance community are strategic.  They know how to hit the nerve of their opposition in tune with popular sentiment.  However, the key to seeing the strings is to notice the pattern.

When the Sea Island group are out of power or diminished influence, they wait for opportunities; then they dispatch their purchased voices to hum the sirens song.  DeSantis only has another year of high-visibility influence before he ends up in the dead space leading up to 2028.  He and his allies need to stay relevant after ’26.

Trump-Vance is currently aligned with the Silicon Valley tech team and Crypto community, the alternative to the traditional Sea Island confab.  However, Silicon Valley has a disconnect from populism on the issue of H1B visas.  Sea Island exploits the moment.  WATCH:

Beyond independent Trump, once you stop looking at the presented puppets and start focusing on the puppet masters, you start to clear the fog of the theatrics, and you can see the patterns.  The ‘out of power’ group promotes the issues that are popular as they seek to cleave the audience (classic splitter strategy).
