Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently met with American pro-Israel social media “influencers” to discuss the importance of social media, referring to various platforms as “our most important weapon.”

During the conversation PM Netanyahu noted the most important deal right now to retain U.S. support for Israel, is Larry Ellison’s purchase of TikTok and how it will be used to secure support for Israel. WATCH:

President Trump notes the ongoing discussions around the Gaza conflict are producing optimism. Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel are all part of the regional discussion group.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “I am pleased to report that we are having very inspired and productive discussions with the Middle Eastern Community concerning Gaza. Intense negotiations have been going on for four days and will continue for as long as necessary in order to get a Successfully Completed Agreement.

All of the Countries within the Region are involved, Hamas is very much aware of these discussions, and Israel has been informed at all levels, including Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

There is more Goodwill and Enthusiasm for getting a Deal done, after so many decades, than I have ever seen before. Everyone is excited to put this period of Death and Darkness behind them. It is an Honor to be a part of this Negotiation. We must get the Hostages back and get a PERMANENT AND LONGLASTING PEACE!” {link}

Interestingly, it looks like Mark Levin is on the outside looking in.

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.

Below is the full interview between CBS’s Margaret Brennan and French President Emmanuel Macron. A portion of this interview aired on “Face the Nation”, however this is the complete interview.

Earlier today the U.K, Canada and Australia, 3 of the Five-Eyes western intelligence networks, announced their recognition of a Palestinian state.  France will announce the same tomorrow.  Israel is now slightly more vulnerable and in a diminished position of support from the western allied nations.  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is more dependent on support from the U.S. than ever before.

President Macron is also facing significant domestic opposition, and his prior appointed Prime Ministers have failed and been removed. The French economy is struggling, and Macron has deflected attention to the Ukraine war in an effort to avoid domestic accountability.  With the Ukraine vs Russia conflict taking a lower profile, thanks in part to President Trump’s approach – demanding NATO/EU stop purchasing Russian energy products in order to gain U.S. support for increased sanctions, Macron now shifts attention to the Israel-Hamas war.  WATCH:

[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay, Mr. President, if you’re ready, we’ll dive right in.

PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON: Thank you.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Thank you for having us here. You know, most countries in the world recognize Palestinian statehood. It’s 147 of 193 countries at the UN, but France is going to be the first western UN Security Council member to do so. What conditions are there for this?

PRESIDENT MACRON: Look, thank you, and thank you for being here and offering me the opportunity to have such a discussion. I think it was a necessity first to decide this recognition, and I will announce it on the 22nd of September at the United Nations, precisely because we are at the very moment where if we want peace and security for all in the region, we have to preserve the condition of a political perspective for everybody. So we will announce the recognition, but which is the beginning of a political process and a peace and security plan for everybody. So right after this- this recognition, we have a first phase, which is, I would say, the emergency phase, ceasefire, release of all hostages..and third, restoring the humanitarian roads and the stabilization of Gaza. We have a second package, which is the day after we will revert on that how to organize Gaza in terms of governance, security and reconstruction. And third package, the perspective of the two states. But recognizing the Palestinian state today is the only way to provide a political solution to a situation which has to stop.

There are three background facets worth discussing in the Charlie Kirk assassination.  To wit, a fulsome historic reference is likely worth creating, so we can all evaluate information with a similar baseline.

(1) The background of events in the lead to Charlie Kirk’s murder; (2) the post-shooting activity of the FBI; and (3) the reality of motive carried by the 22-year-old assassin, Tyler Robinson.   All three of these issues are separate and distinct; however, some people are dangerously merging them together. This should be avoided.

To help avoid conflation that happens, it is worth addressing all three issues separately and comprehensively.  In this outline we address the first, the background events swirling around TPUSA and Kirk prior to the shooting.

Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is a donor funded organization.  Within the business of engaging causes of worth it takes money, often a lot of money, to run the core logistics of the operation.  With Charlie Kirk removed from TPUSA’s mission, I hope their donors and supporters remain fully engaged and are able to expand on his life’s work.

Back in 2022, the same background financial interests who were structuring the presidential run of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also supported TPUSA.

Part of that collaboration surfaced in mid-August ’22, when DeSantis exited his five-days of silence in the aftermath of the FBI raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate (August 8, 2022).

In the lead to the election campaign, DeSantis came out of his bunker directly into a promotional tour for his book, The Courage to be Free.

The Florida governor joined TPUSA as several events to increase his national profile.  As a natural outcome TPUSA was funded for a short time by the same people funding the DeSantis long-term launch.  Many of these donors were already part of the TPUSA financial system; it was a natural convergence.

To his credit, Charlie Kirk viewed the DeSantis effort as supporting a solid conservative, a fellow in the bigger battle, and yet remained supportive of Donald Trump throughout the collaboration and into the presidential primary once DeSantis formally announced over a year later.

Recently, when discussing the tragic event of Kirk’s assassination, Tucker Carlson noted Charlie Kirk took a lot of donor backlash for a shift in his position around the issue of Israel and the overwhelming retaliation taking place in Gaza.

Both groups, professional evangelicals and strong Israel supporters, took exception to Kirk questioning the attack on Iran and the ongoing decisions by the Israeli government to continue bombardment of Gaza.  WATCH:

“The Israeli air force conducted a precision strike against Hamas leaders who were involved in terror attacks against Israel and are directly responsible for the October 7 attacks,” the IDF and the Shin Bet intelligence service said in a statement.

The IDF added: “Prior to the attack, steps were taken to minimize harm to non-combatants, including the use of precision munitions and additional intelligence information. The IDF and the Shin Bet will continue to act with determination to defeat the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for the October 7 massacre.”

SUMMARY: Israel attacked the capital of Qatar, and is waiting to see if the assassination attempts succeeded • An Israeli source said: “We attacked the top echelons of the terrorist organization” • The United States was updated before the attack, a senior White House official: “We had no ability to influence” • Qatar condemned the Israeli action: “Cowardly attack”, the UAE was also visited by “treachery” (Source, Translated)

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).

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds a press conference after meeting with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.  As Netanyahu remarked, “President Trump’s decision to act with us …. has made a remarkable change in the Middle East.”

Prime Minister Netanyahu also emphasized the need to “change the government of Gaza” as part of the current objective within the conflict.  Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized repeatedly that President Trump and himself are connected in common purpose. According to the Israeli Prime Minister, the government of the USA and the government of Israel have never been as deeply intertwined as they are at this moment in history.  WATCH:

.

Pay close attention to the tone and emphasis of the remarks from Prime Minister Netanyahu as well as the content.  For Netanyahu there is a domestic political need to stay as close to President Trump as humanly possible, and he is showcasing that intent in every word and inflection.  Netanyahu’s power is directly related to his proximity to Trump.

Benjamin Netanyahu fears distance from President Trump more than any element around him.  Remember, the need for control is a reaction to fear.  Netanyahu will do anything to keep close proximity.

President Trump hosts a dinner with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the delegation from Israel.  During his remarks, Prime Minister Netanyahu says he nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize and provides him with a copy of the nomination letter.

The USA side of the table consisted of Mike Huckabee (Ambassador to Israel), John Ratcliffe (CIA Director), Pete Hegseth (Defense Sec) – [TRUMP] – Marco Rubio (State/NSA), Susie Wiles (Trump handler) and Steve Witkoff (emissary).

The closer and tighter Trump hugs, the more strategic his mind is operating.

Sara Netanyahu is there, at dinner. Melania Trump is not.

Benjamin Netanyahu is in the weakest geopolitical position of his career.

Trump is soothing the fears behind Bibi’s nervousness.  Remarkable to watch.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pushed America-First, anti-terrorism, law and order into the center of the tourist visitor filter. Unstable extremists need not apply for visas to enter the USA, and anyone creating a social disturbance is subject to visa cancellation.

This is the same standard of behavior that is applied by all other countries for U.S. tourists in foreign visits; however, as Marco Rubio and the U.S. State Department enforce this expectation the domestic extremists and agitators are extremely agitated.

The latest example comes from a British punk/rap duo who decry American colonialism, profess severe antisemitism and promotion of violence. Recently, during a music festival in Britain, singer Bobby Vylan shouted, “Death, death to the IDF,” several times before turning the microphone toward the crowd to get attendees to repeat the chant. The IDF is the national military of Israel. Additionally, Vylan shouted “Free, Free, Free Palestine,” and again, had some in the crowd repeat what he said.

The State Dept has now cancelled their entry visa for their U.S. tour.

(Via Politico) – The State Department has revoked visas for a London-based punk duo set to tour the U.S. in October after the band led a crowd of festival-goers in England in calling for the death of the Israeli military over the weekend.
