TRANSCRIPT

JAMES CORBETT: If you’ve been watching the normie news recently—and watching beyond the breathless coverage of Operation Epstein Fury—chances are you’ve heard the name “Ellison” in recent weeks.

ANCHOR: We’re going to start tonight with the fight over Warner Bros. finally ending as paramount has usurped Netflix’s bid and is acquiring the media company.

 

The takeover bid cost more than $110 billion. For the math nerds out there, that also factors in the debt of Warner Brothers. The deal still needs to be approved by the board of directors for both companies, as well as the justice department.

 

You may be wondering what exactly is paramount adding to its media arsenal here? Well, it includes CNN and other cable channels to Warner Brothers film studio and streaming platform HBO Max, just to name a few.

 

SOURCE: What Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros. means for the media landscape

REPORTER: Paramount Sky Dance CEO David Ellison unveiled his plans for Warner Brothers Discovery on Monday after clinching a deal to acquire the media giant.

DAVID ELLISON: So, what I can tell you is we feel incredibly fortunate. CNN is an incredible brand with an incredible team, and we absolutely believe in the the independence that needs to be maintained, obviously, for those incredible journalists. And we want to support that going forward.

 

CNN and CBS News are brands that we also really want to be a part of transitioning to streaming so that consumers have the choice if they want to watch our incredible news brands on broadcast, they can do that. If they want to watch on cable, they can do that. But we also want to create a world where if they want to watch on streaming, they can do that, and where we can really meet consumers where they are.

 

We’re going to invest in the news business and we think this is this transaction will be a positive for both CBS News and CNN.

CORBETT: That’s right. Larry Ellison, the founder of tech giant Oracle, and his son, David, the CEO of Paramount, are about to add “media moguls” to their list of credentials alongside AI-shilling, surveillance-selling technocrats and general deep state psychos.

But here’s a funny story about the Ellisons that you probably didn’t hear in recent weeks. We’ll take this from futurism.com. It’s about “Tech billionaire forced to rename Humongous Yacht.”

Why is that? Well, as this story reports, after purchasing a 191-foot superyacht and deciding to christen it Izanami after the Japanese mother goddess of Shinto mythology, Ellison had to reconsider that and rename the boat when he realized that Izanami spells something interesting backwards. I’ll give you a moment to pause, take a look at the screen and figure that one out for it yourself. And when you do so, you’ll see that what was written there is not just ha ha funny, but very darkly ironically funny.

But why is it darkly ironically funny? Well, in order to understand that, you’ll have to understand something about the Ellison family, their political connections and affiliations, and what that says about one of the most important and influential families in the current deep state system.

Don’t worry if you haven’t heard any of this before. This information has been deliberately occluded from your attention.

So, let’s correct that today. By the end of today’s episode, you’re going to know more about the Ellison family, Zionists, technocrats, media moguls, and why that’s important for your future. Let’s do it. Broc, hit the theme.

Corbett Report Theme

Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to another edition of The Corbett Report. I’m your host, James Corbett of corbettreport.com, coming to you, as always, from the sunny climes of Western Japan here in early March of 2026 with Episode 494 of The Corbett Report podcast, Meet the Ellisons: Zionists, Technocrats, Moguls.

And yes, if you have heard the name “Ellison” in the news in recent weeks, chances are you have heard it in the context of the slowly, massively expanding Ellison media empire, which includes such lowlights as last year’s story reported by NBC News about how the Trump administration had greenlit Paramount’s $8 billion merger with entertainment group Skydance, noting that, of course, Paramount owns CBS, which includes CBS News, meaning that David Ellison’s Skydance Corporation could take over Paramount and CBS News while they’re at it.

And of course, that has resulted in what we’ve seen going on, the “CBS News is convulsing as Larry Ellison tries to please Trump“-type headlines that we’re seeing from The Guardian and other stewards of establishment news and propaganda, noting that:

Anderson Cooper decides to walk away from broadcast TV’s most prestigious news show, 60 Minutes. Stephen Colbert takes his interview with a rising Democratic politician to YouTube instead of his own late-night show. The CBS Evening News anchor presents a misleading version of the network’s own exclusive reporting on ICE arrests. And a news producer writes a farewell note to her CBS News colleagues blaming the loss of editorial independence.

That’s right. I’m sure you have heard about CBS News and what is happening there in the wake of this Paramount Skydance takeover and the Ellisons’ gradual assuming of control and putting mouthpieces and establishment puppets like Bari Weiss in the seat of power there at CBS News to shake things up. And we will hear no end of laments in the dinosaur establishment press about, “oh no, this venerable institution—the truth tellers over at CBS News—are being dismantled by these horrible Ellisons!” Well, certainly the Ellisons are not here to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, and they are not going to make things better at CBS News, but arguably, is it even worse?

Well, anyway, it is certainly not an institution that we should be lamenting the loss of, but we should never have been taking them seriously in the first place.

Of course, the Ellison media empire does not stop there. As you will no doubt, hopefully, know by now, the Ellisons also have their hand in the recent American spinoff of TikTok and the immediate Israeli pro-Israeli censorship that started to take place on TikTok as a result of that merger, which I’ve talked about with James Evan Pilato on New World Next Week.

And of course, we have the very latest just coming a week or two ago: Paramount to Acquire Warner Brothers Discovery to form Next Generation Global Media and Entertainment Company.” And this takes that Paramount Skydance behemoth and makes it into the Paramount Skydance Warner Brothers behemoth. And what exactly is in the Warner Brothers Discovery umbrella? Well, just a few things you might have heard of, like: Discovery Channel, HBO Max, discovery+, CNN, DC, TNT Sports, Eurosport, HBO, HGTV, Food Network, OWN, Investigation Discovery, TLC, Magnolia Network, TNT, TBS, truTV, Travel Channel, Animal Planet, Science Channel, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, Warner Bros. Television Group, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, Warner Bros. Games, New Line Cinema, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Turner Classic Movies, Discovery en Español, Hogar de HGTV and others!

Yeah. Just a few entertainment properties, all coming under the umbrella of this mega corporation that is being spawned and stewarded over by David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison. A name that probably doesn’t conjure much in the imagination of the general public, who probably still are dimly aware of someone named Larry Ellison, despite the fact he was, at least briefly, at some point last year, the “richest man on the planet” according to the Forbes rich list—which we all know is not the richest people on the planet, but gives you some indication which middle managers for the deep state are in positions of puppetry power.

But anyway, Larry Ellison still occupying one of the top slots in that rich list. And yet still very few people know his name. Elon Musk? Household name. Bill Gates? Household name. Larry Ellison? Not so much yet, although that is changing. And, hopefully, astute Corbett Reporteers will have heard the name “Larry Ellison” in various other contexts.

DONALD TRUMP: So my first day back from having a nice life, it’s my honor to welcome three of the world’s leading technology CEOs. And in the case of Larry, Larry Ellison, it’s well beyond technology—sort of CEO of everything! He’s an amazing man and an amazing business person. But to announce the largest AI infrastructure project by far in history and it’s all taking place right here in America.

 

SOURCE: President Trump Gives Remarks Regarding U.S. Infrastructure Investment

TONY BLAIR: Right. Good morning, everyone. It’s my great pleasure to welcome Larry Ellison to the World Government Summit. Larry was recently described by President Trump as one of the most serious players anywhere in the world um and by one media as at “the centre of everything.” He’s the founder of Oracle, one of the most remarkable companies in the world, and, Larry, it’s a great pleasure to have you with us. Welcome.

 

LARRY ELLISON: Great to see you, Tony. Thank you.

 

SOURCE: Reimagining Technology for Government: A Conversation with Larry Ellison and Tony Blair

Oh, right. That Larry Ellison, Trump’s best buddy and the “CEO of everything,” who’s also the co-leader of the $500 billion AI infrastructure investment project, known as Project Stargate, for some interesting occult reason.

And, oh yeah, the man that Tony Blair literally prostrates himself before on the stage of the World Government Summit and calls him “the centre of everything.” That Larry Ellison, right? Yeah, the name rings a bell.

Yes, for anyone who has been paying attention to the conspiracy realist world for the past several years, hopefully you will have encountered Larry Ellison’s visage before in your research. And, well, how do we go about forming a better picture of who this man is and why it’s important to even know his name?

Well, of course, we can take it from that font of authority, Forbes, with their rich list that can helpfully inform us that Larry Ellison, with his $197.5 billion real-time net worth fortune, ranks him as the sixth richest man in the world today, as of March 8th, 2026, US time (it is the morning of March 9th, 2026, Japan time for those keeping track at home). Although that is far shy from his brief moment in the sun last year when he had a net worth of $276 billion, which briefly ranked him as the richest man on the planet. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

And from Forbes, we can learn some of the bare bones details of Ellison and where his fortune stems from.

  • Larry Ellison is chairman, chief technology officer and cofounder of software giant Oracle, of which he owns roughly 40%.
  • Ellison gave up the Oracle CEO role in 2014 after 37 years at the helm.
  • In September 2025, he became the second person ever worth more than $400 billion, thanks to an AI-driven boom in Oracle’s stock price.
  • In 2020, Ellison moved permanently to the Hawaiian island Lanai, which he bought nearly all of in 2012 for $300 million.
  • Ellison sat on Tesla’s board from 2018 to 2022. He owned 45 million split-adjusted shares before stepping down as a director.
  • Ellison also owns nearly 50% of media giant Paramount Skydance, which formed after the nearly $28 billion (enterprise value) merger of Paramount and his son David’s Skydance in August 2025.

And here is the wealth history chart showing the chart from 2016 up to 2024, 2025 into 2026. And this, although this does not look like a steep and dramatic rise, is so when you’re talking about going from 100 billion to 200 billion to 400 billion at one point.

That’s a pretty dramatic rise to happen in just the space of a couple of years for someone who has been established in the technology business for many decades. What happened there? Well, there’s more to say on that, which we will say shortly.

But yes, this is the sort of milquetoast, bare bones, biographical detail that you will get from establishment mouthpieces like Forbes, which, of course, does not really tell us anything about who Larry Ellison really is or who he really works for.

So, in order to start digging in on that, we’ll have to establish a baseline. And the baseline is no surprise to anyone out there with their head screwed on straight: Larry Ellison is a creature of the deep state and his fortune is predicated on his fealty to that deep state infrastructure. That is not out there, outlandish, on a branch conspiracy theorizing. That is just bare bones reality that is even fully 100% admitted to by his own Oracle Corporation.

SAFRA CATZ: Next, we actually have a customer that is very special to Oracle, and some of you are going to know why. Please, join me in welcoming the CIA!

[…]

Well, thank you. Thank you so much for joining us.

 

LA’NAIA JONES: Thank you so much for having me, Safra. It’s our honour.

 

CATZ: Now, it’s, umm—Most of you probably do not know that the Central Intelligence Agency was Oracle’s first customer, and without which we wouldn’t even be here. And we view the mission of keeping the world safe as our single, really, our top mission.

 

It is hard to believe it was 1977, and we are still working together. And it is really such an honor to have you up here. I think you heard the screaming when we mentioned you.

 

And it’s not like the CIA’s job has gotten smaller. So maybe you could share a little bit about really your thoughts on handling global threats and just how you do it all. What keeps it together.

 

LA’NAIA JONES: Absolutely. So, first and foremost, I want to say this is an immense honour and privilege for CIA to be here in this capacity.

 

As you mentioned, Oracle was founded as CIA in 1977. And look where we are today. And so for us, it’s full circle. And although I’m here, I represent the thousands and millions of people across the intelligence community and across the Department of Defense in the global mission of keeping us safe for national security. And so I just want to say, thank you on that.

 

SOURCE: The CIA Talks Innovation and Its 47-Year Relationship with Oracle: Oracle CloudWorld 2024

That’s right. Oracle even hosts and brags about its CIA connections right there on stage at its own events. And you can watch that video in its entirety, along with everything else I cite today in the transcript slash show notes for today’s episode at corbettreport.com/Ellison.

But anyway, yes, absolutely. It is not a conspiracy theory. It is mundane conspiracy reality that Oracle Corporation and one of the richest men in the world’s fortunes started directly from the CIA.

And I will let you re-listen and re-re-listen to the CIA representative there on stage at Oracle’s presentation talking about their relationship. And I don’t know what you hear, but the way I hear it: “It is hard to believe it was 1977 […] Oracle was founded as CIA in 1977,” I’m pretty sure is what she says. And that is what, for what it’s worth, the machine transcription at YouTube hears as well. Oracle was founded as CIA in 1970. At CIA? As CIA? With CIA support? I don’t know. Sounds like it was founded as a CIA cutout. But take that for what it’s worth.

And you can find out more of the—again, officially admitted and common knowledge—story from mainstream establishment places.

Business Insider had this article up over a decade ago: Larry Ellison Is A Billionaire Today Thanks To The CIA, which notes that:

The CIA was the customer that launched Oracle, cofounder Larry Ellison said on stage Sunday night during the opening keynote for the company’s massive customer conference in San Francisco.

 

“Our very first customer was the Central Intelligence Agency,” he said.

 

He and his cofounders sort of tricked the world into buying their first database by not naming it version 1.0 as was the norm back in the day.

 

“The very first version was Oracle version 2,” he said. “We knew no one would want to buy version 1. Low and behold the CIA was our first customer.”

…lo spelt wrong: “Low” and behold, the CIA was our first customer.

That’s an interesting quote in and of itself, isn’t it? Because, again, a psychopath like Larry Ellison blithely admits that deception was baked into the cake from the very inception of the company. And he brags about getting one over on the CIA. I don’t think he knows who’s really in the driver’s seat of that relationship. But anyway, it reveals a lot that he brags and jokes about that sort of thing on stage. “Ha ha. We tricked them! Ha ha ha.”

Anyway—and I say the word psychopath advisedly because, as we will see, Larry Ellison has a reputation amongst people who have worked with him and known him for a long time and people who are just finding out about him today as an unhinged individual in a number of ways. Anyway, it goes on in this article to talk about the story. Here’s the sort of background:

The story goes something like this: Ellison had twice dropped out of college before moving to Northern California at age 22 in 1966. In California, he began to work here and there as a computer programmer, eventually landing at Amdahl, a company that made mainframe computers. That’s where he met his Oracle cofounders.

Ellison read a paper published by IBM about a new kind of database programming language called SQL. Ellison took that paper and turned SQL into a database. In 1977 he founded Software Development Labs with his former boss, Robert Miner, along with Ed Oates and Bruce Scott. The CIA hired the young company to build this new kind of database that they code-named Oracle. A few years later, when Oracle was still tiny, IBM signed on to use Oracle, and Ellison later renamed the company after its best-selling product.

Alright. That’s the official story. That’s the story that gets told in various permutations. And I’ve seen every possible permutation of that, almost like building a sentence out of alphabetti spaghetti or something. There’s SQL and there’s Oracle and there’s IBM and there’s Amdahl and AMPEX and there’s Project Oracle and there’s CIA and they kind of mash them all together. And there’s various dates given and various things that are told about who was working for what and where did the idea come from and when and what paper, et cetera.

But there are some things that you can nail down if you try hard enough. There have been declassified documents that are now available on the CIA’s own reading room that you can go and peruse for yourself. I’ll link them up again in the transcript at corbettreport.com/ellison.

There’s a memorandum for the record from 11th of November, 1975 from the CIA’s internal records on the subject of Project Oracle that notes:

On 29 October 1975 [REDACTED] of the agency met with the AMPEX representatives, Mrs. Lemos and Messrs. Wood and Slingland for the purpose of determining the direction and status of AMPEX’s design of the ORACLE Mass Storage System.

And it goes on to talk about this Oracle “mass storage system” that the AMPEX Corporation at that time was developing for the CIA. And if you want even more on that, there’s another memo here from earlier on from July of 1974 that notes that:

The following are answers to the questions OL raised with you recently:

 

  1. The Mass Storage System, ORACLE, was ordered in June 1973. There were two contracts, one for development and software, the other for equipment.
  2. It is estimated that the cost per day for delaying installation of this equipment is $1,425.00
  3. The Mass Storage System is needed for rapid storage and analysis of vast amounts of foreign intelligence concerned with various sensitive operations and missions of the CIA.

…which is about all of the declassified material you’re probably ever going to get on this mass storage system that they were creating under the codename Project Oracle and what it may be capable of.

But long story short, of course, in the 1970s, the computer was transitioning from a sort of clunky and somewhat quaint and weird concept into a very useful concept for tracking and data mining and surveillance and all of the things that the foresighted amongst the public, the general public, and the intelligence deep state industry itself recognized would be coming in the age of the “Octoputer,” as it was being referred to in the late 1960s into the 1970s, and people started to realize what was taking shape.

So, yes, a mass storage system, obviously very important for an organization that works with mass amounts of data and wants to organize and call up that data in a moment’s notice. And that was a problem that was being worked on at that time, in that time frame, by a number of people.

If you really want to get into the weeds of this, you can, of course—reject all cookies, as possible, and get all of the screen garbage off of the screen….And you can finally find this paper from 1970: “A relational model of data for large shared data banks,” from E. F. Codd, which says:

Future users of large data banks must be protected from having to know how the data is organized in the machine (the internal representation). A prompting service which supplies such information is not a satisfactory solution. Activities of users at terminals and most application programs should remain unaffected when the internal representation of data is changed and even when some aspects of the external representation are changed. Changes in data representation will often be needed as a result of changes in query, update, and report traffic and natural growth in the types of stored information.

Yada, yada, yada. Read the rest in your own time if you so desire. But, long story short, this paper is seen as the foundation of relational databases, which was an important and groundbreaking concept about—long, long, long and needlessly tech-jargon-heavy and yawn inducingly boring story short—this is about relational databases, the ability to query and search information from a database without knowing how that database is physically stored and organized, the actual architecture of the hardware itself. And also they can present that data in in tables of rows and columns and can manipulate that data.

Blah, blah, blah. It was a technical problem that had a technical solution. It started in this paper. Again, as you can find from any number of sources, this was combined with IBM and the work that it was doing on SQL in a couple of open source papers that were openly available at that time. And Ellison supposedly had the idea to combine these and to create the product, which would eventually go under the Oracle label, supposedly deriving from his work for AMPEX and Project Oracle, the mass storage system.

So, again, cookie cutter, word salad, all of that up together and you get: the foundation of Oracle.

If you do want more of the technical detail, you can watch a handy dandy explainer video called The Rise of Oracle, SQL and the Relational Database from Asianometry channel. And it has a lot of the technical detail and the names and dates and figures in the development of that relational database concept.

But let’s let’s not do the tech-jargon-heavy technical specifications of what was going on here. Can somebody, please, somebody break it down to feel good corporate deep state business babble for me?

CATZ: I am drawn back to really your career. And I think about it, you were a database administrator. And so you have been on the ground floor of just watching the importance of data increase. And so maybe you could just share a little bit with our group how you’re using data, Oracle technology, and really keeping us all safe.

 

JONES: Absolutely So, as you mentioned, Safra, I humbly started as a database administrator. And who would imagine that I would be here today speaking with you? And so I think that is just a testament of how powerful and transformative the technology is and how it’s changed everything we do.

 

There isn’t any aspect of the world, from an innovation to a disruptiveness, that technology is not a part of. It’s changed the way we’ve worked, the way we’ve lived, the way that we do our day to day missions. And so we look at the CIA as it’s part of every facet and asset of everything we do, from finances, to human resources, to the mission space, to being out forward, to denied access areas, to, you mentioned, being on a ship, from our soldiers and our sailors and our airmen, to everything we do.

 

[…]

 

I talked about how the data, we used it from an old school database, but now it wouldn’t be fair to have any type of event and not talk about generative AI. We in the intelligence community and the defense landscape want to be able to use generative AI as well. It could help to augment our missions all across many sectors. Everything we do from logistics to supply chain, to cyber, to finance, to human resources, we want to be able to have that to help augment everything we do.

 

And so I feel as though, from that aspect, we’re no different than others. We want the translation capabilities. We want to be able to do the summarization. We want to be able to have the rapid data and inferences, to look at vast amounts of raw data and very different forms and all over, and be able to make logic of that in a much faster realm.

 

And so we have the same challenges as the commercial. And that’s one thing that we always look to try to have in our classified spaces as best as possible parity to have the latest and the greatest in the spaces that we need it the most.

 

SOURCE: The CIA Talks Innovation and Its 47-Year Relationship with Oracle: Oracle CloudWorld 2024

CORBETT: Ah, thank you, CIA mouthpiece. Now I understand everything!

Yes, of course, it makes perfect sense why the CIA would be interested in developing database technology generally. And of course, any and all technology that helps them not only to find, but to store, to analyze, to retrieve data at any time, because it’s almost like data is the new oil in the intelligence economy that increasingly defines the deep state surveillance grid that is the modern world.

Data is the new oil.” I wonder where I’ve heard that phrase before.

Anyway, yes, it makes perfect sense. So, from databases to—of course—generative AI.

And in fact, that little clip, stripped of all of the corporate business babble, actually does provide a fairly good arc of the development of Ellison’s Oracle Corporation, from the provider of Oracle database software and infrastructure for companies—and of course, the Agency, first and foremost—to its modern iteration, which isn’t so much about database technology or those types of services that it was once known for. No, what was that explosive growth that we saw in reflected in Larry Ellison’s personal net worth last year, but of course, also in Oracle as well? That explosive, unbelievable, ridiculous, never seen before growth in Oracle’s valuation last year was entirely on the hype on the back of the AI hype and the AI bubble that has formed that, Oh my God, AI is the new everything!

And thus, Oracle has repositioned itself as the company that’s going to provide and lease out the actual technical data center infrastructure to AI companies. And it is essentially operating more as a landlord now than as a tech company. But anyway, on the back of that, we saw that incredible, phenomenal growth in Larry Ellison’s personal net worth, but Oracle’s net worth as well.

But all of this, I suppose, is interesting and certainly starts to get at the point. Yes, Oracle was and is a CIA cutout that literally has its name in the origins of a CIA database mass storage system product and project.

But who cares? What does any of this mean? Why should we care about this?

Well, we should care because of what Larry Ellison plans to do with the control of one of the premier AI/data tech giants.

So, what does he plan to do with this? We don’t have to go very far out on a limb for this. Again, we can take it straight from the horse’s mouth himself. And he will tell us gladly about the things that he’s planning to do. Things like using AI to surveil everyone at all times, in all places, during all activities, for the good of society, of course

LARRY ELLISON: Body cameras – we completely redesigned body cameras. Our body cameras cost 70 bucks. Normal body cameras cost, I don’t know, $7,000. Our body cameras are simply lenses – two lenses attached to your vest attached to the smartphone that you’re wearing.

 

And we actually take the video that the police officer is… By the way, the camera is always on. You don’t turn it on and off. And by the way, the way you turn it on… You can’t turn it off.  “I’m going to the bathroom. Oracle. Um, I need, I need, I need two minutes to take a bathroom break.” – and we’ll turn it off. The truth is we don’t really turn it off. What we do is we record it so no one can see it, but no one can get into that recording without a court order.

 

So, you get the privacy you requested, but a court order, if you get a court order we will, you know, judge, you know, can order: I want to look at that – this so-called bathroom break. If there’s something, something comes up, uh, and plus: “I’m going to lunch with my friends. Oracle, I need an hour for privacy with lunch with my friends.” God bless. We won’t listen in unless there’s a court order.

 

But it’s interesting, and, but we transmit the video back to headquarters. So, headquarters and and AI is constantly monitoring the video.

 

Remember this terrible case in Memphis where the five police officers basically beat to death another citizen in Memphis. Well, that can’t happen because it would be on TV at- it’d be on TV at headquarters. Everyone would see it. Your body cams would be transmitting that. The police will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly recording: watching and recording everything that’s going on.

 

Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on and it’s unimpeachable. The cars, the cars have cameras, you know, cameras on them. We have, I think we have, a squad car here someplace.

 

But those kind of applications using AI, if we can use AI- and we’re using AI to monitor the video. So if that altercation had occurred that occurred in Memphis, the chief of police would be immediately notified. It’s not people that are looking at those cameras, it’s AI that’s looking at the cameras. No, no, no. You can’t do this. It would be like a shooting. That’s going to be immediately, that’s going to be an event that’s immediately rep- an alarm is going to go off. It’s going to be… and, uh, we’re going to, we’re going to have supervision.

 

In other words, every police officer is going to be supervised at all times. And the supervision will, uh- and if there’s a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate author-, uh, person whether it’s the sheriff or the chief or whomever we need to take control of the situation.

 

SOURCE: Oracle CEO Larry Ellison On Using AI Body Cameras To Ensure Citizens Will Be On Best Behavior

CORBETT: Okay. Constant panopticonic surveillance of everyone and everything at all times through AI-enabled cameras? Check.

What else does Ellison plan to do with his AI overlord status?

Well, how about delivering us warp speed MAGA jab 2.0? RNA and DNA personally tailored just for you and put in a genetic slurry straight into your arms, courtesy of his good friend, Donald Trump!

LARRY ELLISON: So we’re currently working on – should I step on this? Okay. All right. No, no, no. I’m not that tall. I’m not that tall. I’m not that tall.

 

Thank you, Mr. President.

 

One of the most exciting things we’re working on, again, using the tools that Sam and Masa are providing, is a cancer vaccine. It’s very interesting. It turns out—I’ll be quick—all of our cancers, cancer tumors, little fragments of those tumors, float around in your blood. So you can do early cancer detection. You can do early cancer detection with a blood test.

 

And using AI to look at the blood test, you can find the cancers that are actually seriously threatening the person. So we can, again, cancer diagnosis using AI has the promise of just being a simple blood test. Then, beyond that, once we gene sequence that cancer tumor, you can then vaccinate the person, design a vaccine for every individual person to vaccinate them against that cancer. And you can make that vaccine, that mRNA vaccine, you can make that robotically—again, using AI—in about 48 hours. So imagine early cancer detection, the development of a cancer vaccine for your particular cancer aimed at you—and have that vaccine available in 48 hours. This is the promise of AI and the promise of the future.

 

DONALD TRUMP: Thanks. Great.

 

SOURCE: LIVE: President Trump announces $500 billion investment in AI Infrastructure project called Stargate

CORBETT: Ah, wonderful. Yes. OK. So, AI-enabled technology to personally deliver you the mRNA vaccines Dr. Ellison guarantees is good for what ails you.

And what else can he do with his wonderful life-saving AI technology? Well, how about getting governments to feed literally all of the data that they’re collecting on all of their citizens at all times into the AI data behemoth? So that it can tell us how to do everything.

TONY BLAIR: Tell us a bit about what—because you’re right at the forefront of this revolution—what it means for what government should do in terms of its digital infrastructure— you know, digital ID data centers and so on.

 

LARRY ELLISON: In other words, okay, if AI is really this great, how do I take advantage of it? Because the impacts are enormous. And it’s very interesting, because almost no one is talking about that.

 

Everyone is talking about—and I will answer the question in just a second—everyone’s talking about these fantastic NVIDIA chips that allow us to build these huge AI models. Oracle’s building a 2.2-gigawatt data center. [It] costs between $50 billion and soon $100 billion dollars to build these data centers and train these models.

 

Because these models are so expensive, you won’t build your own, as a rule. There’ll be a handful of these models. The question is: How do you take advantage of these incredible AI models?

 

And the first thing a country needs to do is to unify all of their data so it can be consumed and used by the AI model. Everyone talks about the AI model—and they are astonishing.

 

But how do you provide a context? I want to ask questions about my country. What’s going on in my country? What’s happening to my farmers? I need to give it my climate data. Now, it probably has your climate data already.

 

But I need to know exactly what crops are growing and which farms to predict the output. So I have to take satellite images. I have to take those satellite images for my country and feed that into a database that is accessible by the AI model.

 

So, basically, I have to tell the AI model as much about my country as I can. You tell part of the story with these satellite models. You give it a huge amount of information. You tell it where roads are, where borders are, where your utilities are. So you need to provide a map of your country for the farms and all of the utility infrastructure and your borders. All of that you have to provide.

 

But beyond that, if you want to improve population health, you have to take all of your healthcare data, your diagnostic data, your electronic health records, your genomic data.

 

In the Middle East, in the UAE, for example, they’re incredibly rich in data. They have a lot of population data.

 

The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data. But it’s fragmented. It’s not easily accessible by these AI models.

 

We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single, if you will, unified data platform. So, we provide context. When we want to ask a question, we’ve provided that AI model with all the data they need to understand our country.

 

That’s the big step. That’s kind of the missing link. We need to unify all of the national data, put it into a database where it’s easily consumable by the AI model, and then ask whatever question you like.

 

SOURCE: Reimagining Technology for Government: A Conversation with Larry Ellison and Tony Blair

CORBETT: Ah, yes. Perhaps now you’re starting to see what the “Oracle project “codename might really mean. What’s the real significance of that? The Oracle at Delphi?

Well, at any rate, it seems that Ellison really does want us to think of the AI technology that he is helping to steward into existence for the benefit of his deep state buddies as a type of Oracle, which will be able to simply tell us how to do…well, everything! Anything that you ask, the AI will know.

If you want more about that concept and how it is now becoming mainstreamized and popularized, you’ll want to go back to episode 473 of The Corbett Report on Algocracy: Government for the New World Order at corbettreport.com slash algocracy.

But anyway, you get the point by now, I’m sure.

Yes, this technology is going to tell us what to do, because it’s going to see everything that we’re doing at all times. It’s going to analyze that data, and then it’s going to spit out its orders for us.

So, hmm, interesting.

I think this is why we need to be concerned about Ellison’s growing clout, at least as a middle manager for the deep state. And I think we should also be concerned by something else that was revealed in that previous this clip, which is Ellison’s close personal relation to various 2D surface state puppets, people in positions of political power, at least on the 2D board, like ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Like, of course, current U.S. President Donald J. Trump, who, as we saw earlier, refers to [this] CEO as a wonderful man and the “CEO of everything. “And later on in that same Project Stargate press conference, he goes on to say, “Larry is so busy, I can’t believe he’s even here. It’s an honor for our country to be talking to him.” I mean, it’s bizarre and disgusting the way Trump genuflects to the dark power of someone like Larry Ellison, but it is there on camera for all to see, as is Blair’s interesting, fawning interview of Ellison at the World Government Summit.

But something that they don’t quite disclose in that conversation is that Blair works for Larry Ellison, essentially. Not directly, of course, but he is certainly funded, his bread is buttered by Larry Ellison, something that may not have been disclosed to the participants of aforesaid World Government Summit. But let’s disclose it here and we can turn to something like, for example, Lighthouse Reports, which had this report up recently on Blair and the Billionaire, which talks about how: “Insiders reveal how Larry Ellison’s money turned Blair’s institute into a tech sales and lobbying operation for Oracle.”

And specifically in this case, in the bewildering flurry of initiatives and charitable foundations that Tony Blair has created in the past couple of decades, one of them, the Tony Blair Institute of Global Change, is particularly interesting because the TBI isn’t just a UK concern. It’s now a “global force working in at least 45 countries, employing other former heads of state, ex-ministers, and civil servants, and paying more than a million dollars to its top earners.” And interestingly, the TBI, which again purports to be an institute of global change, is, well, has an overwhelming focus, which is technology.

This report goes on to say:

The ex-premier’s trademark evangelism is now focused on AI, its power to transform government […] and why everyone should listen to Larry Ellison, the founder of technology firm Oracle.

And why? Why should they? Oh, because, well, while the Institute relies on Blair’s political brand, its money comes in large part from Ellison. And it goes on to document that here in this report.

Ellison invested $130 million in the TBI 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.

So yes, Ellison is very much funding and shepherding Tony Blair along in his efforts to bring global change about. What kind of global change? Well, algocracy and worship of AI, essentially.

So anyway, there’s much more detail in this report. And again, this report will be at corbettreport.com/ellison, linked up along with everything else we’re seeing, reading and hearing today.

But yes, I think Ellison’s work, what he is specifically doing, the things that he wants to enact with his AI technology and the people and connections that he has through his funding and wealth and influence to make that happen should be concerning. But I guess there’s a final layer to this onion of why should we care about Ellison and what he is doing with his money. (His money?)

Well, that’s That final layer is: what is it that he is trying to accomplish? Where does his allegiance lie? What is his motivating desire?

Again, we don’t have to speculate about this. We don’t have to go out on a limb. We can take it directly from Ellison himself.

GIL TAMARY: Mr. Ellison, can you tell us what is your connection to Israel?

 

ELLISON: Well, um…The renewal of the Jewish state is something that I think touches all of us. For 2,000 years, we were a stateless people. And now we have a country of our own, defended by all the brave men and women of the IDF. So, anything we can do to support them who devote their lives for preserving the state of Israel, keeping the people safe and allowing our state to continue in sometimes a very, very difficult situation.

 

SOURCE: Israel’s Channel 10 Gil Tamary interviews Oracle’s Larry Ellison

CORBETT: Surprise! Yeah. Turns out Ellison is a committed Zionist shill who is all in favor of the Israeli operations in Gaza and elsewhere. And that, again, is documentable and demonstrable and on the record, not only from Ellison himself, but also from his ignominious track record of shilling for the Zionist cause.

If you need more information about that, that can be garnered from a number of sources, like, say, this article from last year on “Openly Pro-Israel Tech Group Now Has Control over UK’s Most Sensitive National Security Data,” which is a report starting from the premise of the Oracle takeover of the UK Ministry of Defense and working from there to the real mission of Oracle, again, directly from Oracle itself.

And you can start with the CEO of Oracle that we saw in that clip where the CEO of Oracle introduced the CIA spokesperson at the Oracle event fawning all over it. That was Safra Catz, who, for the record, of course, is an Israeli-American and who has made no bones about Oracle or its position on Israel. She has stated in 2021 at the opening of a new data center in Jerusalem, quote:

We are not flexible regarding our mission, and our commitment to Israel is second to none. This is a free world and I love my employees, and if they don’t agree with our mission to support the State of Israel, then maybe we aren’t the right company for them. Larry [Ellison] and I are publicly committed to Israel and devote personal time to the country, and no one should be surprised by that.

But it’s not just words through which they have made clear that they are supportive of Israel. It is through actions and, more importantly, money.

And you can get more on that in this article that says:

The billionaire – currently the fourth-richest individual in the world – has bankrolled the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) for years, giving tens of millions of dollars to the Friends of the IDF, including the largest single donation the organization has ever received. In 2017 alone, he pledged $16.6 million to build a new training facility for IDF soldiers defending, in his words, “our home.”

And it goes on to quote him:

Through all of the perilous times since Israel’s founding, we have called on the brave men and women of the IDF to defend our home. In my mind, there is no greater honor than supporting some of the bravest people in the world, and I thank Friends of the IDF for allowing us to celebrate and support these soldiers year after year. We should do all we can to show these heroic soldiers that they are not alone.

It goes on to say:

This was far from his first donation to the organization. Three years previously, he gave $9 million at a star-studded gala – the largest donation on a record-breaking night for the FIDF.

 

The big tech mogul also has a direct hand in furthering the Israeli settlement project. In 2007, he met with then-Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to pledge half a million dollars in support to the Israeli border town of Sderot.

 

But if Ellison can count Livni as a friend, then Benjamin Netanyahu is virtually family. The pair have been close for many years; Ellison even flew Netanyahu out to his private Hawaiian island to vacation together. There, he offered the embattled prime minister a seat on Oracle’s board, replete with a salary of $450,000.

You can go on reading more about the details and connections in this thorough article, but I think you get the tenor of this information. In case not, you can find even more details from DropSite News, which recently reported on Larry Ellison vetted Marco Rubio for fealty to Israel hacked emails reveal, which documents exactly what it says in that headline, namely the fact that Larry Ellison was busy vetting Marco Rubio back during his 2015 campaign run for presiden—where it, interestingly, as a sidebar, it notes something that I think is interesting here: a Wired piece apparently recently characterized it as “The Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil.”

Data is the new oil, once again. Interesting.

Anyway, It goes through the email record between Larry Ellison and a Rubio campaign advisor. And this person was talking to Ellison. “How was the conversation with Marco Rubio? Did he pass your scrutiny? Did you have a chance to talk about Israel? Would love to chat.” To which Ellison replied a few hours later: “Hi, Ron. Great meeting with Marco Rubio. I set him up to meet with Tony Blair,” adding “Marco will be a great friend for Israel.”

Again, more reporting on the meat and potatoes of that in this article. But yes, it is there in black and white. Ellison personally vetting various candidates for the political-puppet-in-chief, the person who stands in the Oval Office and does what Benjamin Netanyahu tells him to do. Larry Ellison thought Rubio might be good for the job. And who knows? Maybe 2028, guys. He’s got the Ellison seal of approval. We’ll see.

Anyway, none of this should truly be surprising. I say “Surprise! Ellison is a Zionist!” But again, this shouldn’t be truly surprising to people paying attention.

For example, Derek Broze had an important post up for The Last American Vagabond last November, “The Technocratic Trump Administration: The Zionist Infiltration Expands,” where he talked about Ellison and his role in the Trump 2.0 administration and what it portends for this administration, which unfortunately we have just seen come to fruition in the past week or two with Operation Epstein Fury.

But he notes, in the context of this November 2025 report, Ellison is once again in the running to gain a majority stake in TikTok. And we’ve already seen how that eventuated. And we reported on that in New World Next Week recently.

But anyway, why TikTok? Why is that important? Well, Bros goes on to talk about that issue and its importance here in this article.

With Larry Ellison set to gain control of TikTok and David Ellison quickly accumulating a media empire, the Zionist forces within the Israeli government have accomplished a successful coup over American minds. In the coming years, the Ellisons will be an increasingly important tool for the Zionists to attempt to rehabilitate the crumbling image of Israel.

And that is exactly where we stand. And that brings us more or less up to speed to the most recent development, the Paramount Skydance takeover of Warner Brothers and the consolidation of so, so, so many “incredible” media brands under the stewardship of David Ellison, Larry Ellison’s son.

And yes, Larry Ellison is personally financially involved in these various ventures, as we’ve already seen, and which can be well documented from other sources.

But at any rate, yes, the Ellison family are now certified media moguls with incredible amounts of control over what people are seeing, hearing, and reading on a daily basis.

So the real question then becomes: well, does the David Apple fall far from the Larry Ellison tree? And the answer is: of course not. And let’s go through and document it.

So is David Ellison, like Larry, his father, an AI shill?

DAVID ELLISON: So first, everything we do, obviously, at Paramount is really about empowering artists to tell great stories. And I think artificial intelligence is a remarkable tool to be able to do that.

 

And you’re right, it absolutely will impact every aspect of basically our business. It’s going to impact our platforms, right? When you think about what has been, kind of, the traditional machine learning for the next ten years and how frontier models are going to really impact things like search. I mean, you’re already seeing that with, obviously, ChatGPT and Google.

 

DAVID FABER: Without a doubt.

 

DAVID ELLISON: Um, discovery – how things are recommended to you: we’re going to get a lot better at that. And it’s going to be a combination of those two technologies working together. But also, I think, when you… I’ll use animation as an example, the main issue right now for professional content creation is all around this notion of controllability, right? You know, the greatest filmmakers in the world are not going to tell stories through text prompts. I just don’t think you’re ever going to live in a world where that happens.

 

DAVID FABER: You don’t?

 

DAVID ELLISON: I don’t. But what I think you will eventually get to is a place where model based GPU pipelines are going to give you the same level of control that a filmmaker has on set when his camera. And when that happens you’re going to be able to tell better stories because you’re going to be able to iterate faster.

 

SOURCE: Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison: We want to be the most technologically capable media company

CORBETT: All right. David Ellison, AI shill. Check. All right.

So is David, like his father Larry, also a committed Zionist?

JIMMY DORE: “A fascinating new report from Variety offers insight into what’s coming at Paramount.

 

As you know, Paramount executives have been outspoken about their stance on the conflict in Gaza.

 

This past September, the company became the first major Hollywood studio to publicly reject a high-profile letter – signed by stars including Emma Stone and Javier Bardem – that urged a cultural boycott of Israeli film institutions accused of engaging in ‘genocide and aparthide’ against Palestinians.

 

Warner Brothers later took the same position.”

 

KURT METZGER: Oh!

 

JIMMY DORE: “Sources tell Variety that it has gone as far as Paramount creating a sort of blacklist of talent the studio will not work with because they are deemed to be overtly anti-semitic.”

 

So, I remember I’ve heard, I’ve read, this, uh, someone else said this, but I remember when being an anti-semite meant that you hated Jews. Now, being an anti-semite means Jews hate you.

 

[Laughter]

 

SOURCE: Zionist-Run Paramount BLACKLISTS Actors Over Israel! 

CORBETT: Okay, David Ellison, Zionist shill. OK, check.

OK, but he’s not using his position of power and influence in order to spy on Americans for the help of Israel and his deep state buddies, like his father, Larry, right?

KIM IVERSON: Well, the man who now owns CBS, one of the biggest news networks in the country, has close ties to Israeli intelligence. A new investigation from the Grey Zone shows David Ellison met with top Israeli generals who run a secret spy network that’s been caught spying on Americans.

 

What was he doing meeting with an Israeli spy? So, you’re telling me that one of the most powerful people who’s in charge of shaping what we see every day on the news might also be working hand in hand with a foreign government that spies on us?

 

SOURCE: CBS Boss Caught Colluding With Israel To Spy On Americans

CORBETT: Oh, OK, I guess he is using his power and influence to spy on Americans for the help of the Israeli/deep state stooges that he keeps company with. Yay!

OK, so, yes, the David Ellison apple does not fall far from the Larry Ellison tree, as is to be expected. But it’s good to have all of this on record anyway, and to know—to have some better understanding of who the Ellisons are and why their growing media clout, let alone technological clout, is something to be aware of and wary of for a number of reasons.

And I hope if you have watched this episode all the way to the end, I hope you now have a better understanding of who the Ellisons are, who they are connected to, where their power and influence comes from, how they are attempting to wield that power and influence and why we should be concerned. And if you have put all those pieces together and have an idea now of who the Ellisons are, then perhaps now you understand why the “Izanami backwards” fiasco is so darkly ironic.

Perhaps we’ll leave this exploration here for today.

There is much more to be said about the Ellison story, about his upward rise through the ranks of the deep state, how he came to a position of prominence, his psychopathic tendencies, or at least sociopathic tendencies that have been reported multiply by many, many people who have worked with him and for him over the years from well before he was ever rich or powerful. People have definitely remarked on his singular personality and his remarkable ideas for basically ruthlessly accomplishing what he wants to accomplish. The dumpster diving as part of his grudge against Microsoft being just one of many, many stories that we could throw out there.

But I think we’ll leave this exploration here for today. I think there’s much more to be said on the Ellisons, and I’m sure I will have cause to say more of it in the future.

But having said that, as I said, all of the things that I talked about today will be available in the transcript/show notes for today’s episode at corbettreport.com/ellison. So, I hope you will go and explore and use that resource to start your own investigation into the Ellison family.

And as always, I would like Corbett Report members to report back to headquarters. If you find other interesting cookie crumbs along this trail, please do let us all know. We would all like to hear them. So Corbett Report members are invited to log in to corbettreport.com and leave your comments in the open source exploration in the comments thread of this post.

But that’s going to do it for today. I’m James Corbett of corbettreport.com, thanking you for investing your time in this exploration today and inviting you to join me again in the very near future.
