David Miller exposes how Larry Ellison, Oracle founder and key Zionist ally, links US tech power, digital ID surveillance, Tony Blair’s data empire, and the propaganda war backing genocide in the Levant.

Larry Ellison is a tech billionaire who is the world’s second richest man.  He is behind the takeover of TikTok, the purchase of Paramount which owns CBS News and is bidding to take over Warner Bros. which owns CNN.

He runs a firm called Oracle which was started with funds from the CIA. The CIA effectively made Ellison a Billionaire.

Today, Oracle is the cloud provider for the British Home Office, the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office, storing national security data, as well as the National Health Service. The NHS is of particular note since it holds an incredible amount of population data going back to its formation in 1948. No wonder Ellison is desperate to get his hands on it: “The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data,” though, he noted, it remains too “fragmented.”

Ellison is the largest recorded donor to the Friends of the Israel Occupation Forces and previously, reportedly, offered Benjamin Netanyahu directorship of the firm. Its longtime CEO is “Israel” born Safra Catz, who has also donated millions to the Friends of the IOF either directly or via Oracle itself.

In late 2024, she told an Israeli business news outlet, “For employees, it’s clear: if you’re not for America or Israel, don’t work here, this is a free country.”

A year ago, Ellison described a future where everyone will face regular surveillance. He predicted artificial intelligence would help process the vast amounts of footage recorded by cameras placed on everything from car dashboards and front doors to security systems and the police.

Ellison is the man behind the latest push for digital ID cards in the UK and has said that citizens "will be on their best behaviour" once they are introduced. “We’re going to have supervision,” Ellison said. “If there’s a problem, AI will report that problem… we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

An anonymous US official told reporters TikTok's algorithm will be "fully inspected and retrained” by Ellison’s consortium.

The purchase of TikTok is certainly about winning the propaganda battle for the Zionist genocide, but it’s also about surveillance, monitoring and control.

Oracle had already, in February, taken control of some of TikTok’s day-to-day operations, had taken a firm pro-"Israel" stance and reportedly, clamped down on pro-Palestine activism inside the company.

Collaborations between the company and Zionist regime agencies have been wide-ranging, from direct technology work with the military to software intended to help "Israel" with public relations, including, according to internal company messages, on social media platforms like TikTok. Catz, herself,  notes that "We were the first company to build a data centre in Israel serving the region.”

Netanyahu has said, "We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields on which we are engaged. And the most important ones are on social media.” And the most important, he said, is "TikTok, number one. Number one."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

One of President Trump’s advisers described Ellison, earlier this year, as a literal “shadow president of the United States,” if not necessarily the shadow president.

Larry Ellison and Tony Blair

Two elements of the Trump peace plan, which are clearly linked, are on the one hand, a plan for governing Gaza after the putative “defeat” of Hamas and, on the other, a plan for manipulating the media and social media in order to defeat Hamas in the propaganda war.

These two elements of the strategy have clearly been co-ordinated closely with Netanyahu, who has more or less taken up residence in the US. But they have also been closely co-ordinated with a man referred to as the shadow president - the tech billionaire Larry Ellison -  and with the former Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair.

Blair has recently emerged as "a potential Gaza interim consul and member of Donald Trump’s 'board of peace.'"

Given that Ellison and Blair are both central to the Trump/Zionist plan, we might ask if they are also aware of each other? In fact, they are very closely intertwined.

According to Lighthouse Reports: Ellison invested $130 million in the Tony Blair Institute between 2021 and 2023, with a further $218 million pledged since then. The scale of funding took the TBI from a headcount of 200 to approaching 1,000. Blair himself takes no salary from TBI, but over this time, the institute has been able to recruit from bluechip firms like McKinsey and Silicon Valley giants Meta. In 2018, before the Oracle founder’s funding surge, TBI’s best-paid director earned $400,000. In 2023, the last year where accounts are available, the top earner took home $1.26 million.

Oracle has earned £1.1 billion in public sector revenue since the start of 2022, according to data collected by procurement analysts Tussell.

Here is Blair introducing Ellison in the UAE asking him about the use of data, including in Digital IDs. Note what he says about unifying data.

“The first thing a country needs to do is to unify all of their data so that it can be consumed and used by the AI model.”

Ellison and Blair are working together to open up huge data-mines for profit-making. The British NHS is a key prize since there are virtually no other population level data sources that go back so far. The NHS was created in 1948.

It’s obvious that the unification of data will enhance the ability of both Oracle and the Zionist entity to surveil and kill the Palestinians and to suppress all attempts to oppose genocide. This is how the control of TikTok and the Trump “board of peace” are connected.
