"Let me talk about Gaza. You know, a lot of times I'll refer to Gaza as a holocaust, but let me refer to Gaza as a real estate development. I mean, if you look at the peace plan, it's pretty clear it's a real estate development. You know, you, you take a piece of land, you clean off by killing or moving the people who are on it, you take the oil and gas, you take the water and you decimate the infrastructure and you do all of that with taxpayers' money.
"Now you've got a clean slate, you come back in and suddenly Donald Trump and Tony Blair are in charge of the new place. And then you say, oh, let's fix Gaza and you bring in lots of taxpayers money and you build it up. Except now you and your pals own it. So it's a taking; it's a, it's a, I mean they've publicly been praising the idea of the real estate deal that it is.
"Now the problem on TikTok was it was interfering with the real estate development. That's, you're, you're a group of people and you're trying to take control of land for free and you're getting interrupted. And TikTok was interrupting you. It was making it, you know, it was threatening your ability to assert control of the real estate. So TikTok had to be dealt with.
"Now here's what you need to know. Looking at the sort of holding company and ownership structure at the time that they said TikTok was a problem. TikTok was not owned by the Chinese. 20% was owned by the Chinese founders and employees and they had operational control. But you had 45% or more that was owned by US private equity firms, including KKR. So their problem wasn't ownership, it was operational. They wanted to be able to openly censor.
"So basically you have the US Government and Congress step in and force a shift of control of TikTok. That's a taking. Yeah. And under the argument that it was foreign influence, when all you did was ultimately hand it over to a different kind of foreign influence. I'm sorry, when American private equity firms own the majority of the equity, not the Chinese, you know, that is not foreign. I mean, I'm not saying that there isn't foreign influence, but, but you know, excuse me, you know, we're talking about going in and saying, okay, in the United States... Even though we pretend to have the biggest capital markets in the world. You can't trust us because we feel free to take your stuff.
"If you're in the U.S. capital Markets. Right? That's what they're saying. They're saying there's no law in the US Capital markets if you don't do what we say. We take your stuff. Okay, so one thing led to another, and we engineer a transfer of TikTok into the control of one of the richest people in the world. Okay, so whether it's, you know, Musk coming in and taking all the data, or Larry Ellison picking up, TikTok, what do we see? We, you know, we're back to the billionaires who are, who are friendly or part of the syndicate, you know, getting windfalls in takings is what we're seeing.
"Okay, so Ellison takes over TikTok within 12 hours. If you go to TikTok and you put in my name, it will say, you know, no response because this is in violation of violence standards and community standards and whatever. So I'm completely shadow banned from TikTok. The Solari Report channel is still there, but you can't find it unless you know how to find it. Okay, so that's what they're doing. They're taking assets and then they're turning around and they're doing that...At the same time. What else is happening? Netanyahu has a big meeting. He hires Trump's former campaign manager for $1.5 million a month and starts pumping out huge and hideous budgets for influencers across the media, both corporate media and alternative media, to be paid to post pro Israeli things"
