And they had a strategy call, like their attorney had a strategy call with a bunch of Trump supporters, including one Larry Ellison.

Now, again, that was back in 2020.

Here in 2025, and now fighting with Elon Musk for the title of the richest person in the fucking world, Ellison said, and I quote, "...we're going to have supervision.

Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person."

Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on.

Now, in that intervening time, Larry Ellison is one of the people behind Oracle.

And Oracle has benefited enormously as a company that got really in on the cloud storage boom.

They've benefited enormously from selling a bunch of shit to AI companies.

Larry Ellison is also a huge AI supporter, a huge backer of AI, someone who wants to spread AI, and someone who wants to spread AI very specifically, and this is very important, into surveillance technology.

He is also one of the people who, as 2020 went on, and as the last half decade has come on, and as the giant sort of backlash against AI

against the uprising, and as his attempt to reassert racism as the dominant ideology of the United States, and to make sure that capital's hold over this country and that white supremacy's hold over this country would be maintained, he has become one of the large drivers of this entire project.

He's not the only one.

Jeff Bezos, as we started this program with, already owned the Washington Post.

In 2025, he went in to very seriously change it.

Jeff Bezos on the now-fascist Twitter, and we will get to that in a second too,

wrote, and this was a letter that he sent to his staff, and this is the editorial section, I'm writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.

We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars, personal liberties and free markets.

We'll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.

David Shipley, who had been his handpicked editor, resigned rather than lead the effort.

It's not like Shipley had been like a leftist, right?
