Part Four - Ezra Cohen-Watnick

Q has mentioned this guy’s name TWICE without accompanying explanation. He has stated in #1539 that the information about him, especially in the NY Mag article, is “important to remember.”

The NY Mag article makes mention of where Cohen-Watnick worked after McMaster booted him: ORACLE.

Let’s examine that and remind ourselves of what/who ORACLE is:

Aside from FReeQs associating the word “Oracle” with our own FReeQ newspaper, published on our Q threads by FReeQ Bagster, what Oracle means in this context is:

Oracle Corporation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Corporation
“Oracle Corporation is an American multinational computer technology corporation headquartered in Redwood Shores, California. The company specializes primarily in developing and marketing database software and technology, cloud engineered systems, and enterprise software products — particularly its own brands of database management systems. In 2018, Oracle was the third-largest software maker by revenue, after Microsoft and Alphabet.

The company also develops and builds tools for database development and systems of middle-tier software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, customer relationship management (CRM) software, and supply chain management (SCM) software.”

History
“Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle Corporation in 1977 with Bob Miner and Ed Oates under the name Software Development Laboratories (SDL). Ellison took inspiration from the 1970 paper written by Edgar F. Codd on relational database management systems (RDBMS) named “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks.” He heard about the IBM System R database from an article in the IBM Research Journal provided by Oates. Ellison wanted to make Oracle’s product compatible with System R, but failed to do so as IBM kept the error codes for their DBMS a secret. SDL changed its name to Relational Software, Inc (RSI) in 1979, then again to Oracle Systems Corporation in 1982, to align itself more closely with its flagship product Oracle Database. At this stage Bob Miner served as the company’s senior programmer. On March 12, 1986, the company had its initial public offering. In 1995, Oracle Systems Corporation changed its name to Oracle Corporation, officially named Oracle, but sometimes referred to as Oracle Corporation, the name of the holding company. Part of Oracle Corporation’s early success arose from using the C programming language to implement its products. This eased porting to different operating systems (most of which support C)….”

This is a long article, and the various areas of service, including (but not limited to) Oracle Cloud, Hardware, File systems, Operating Systems, and support are outlined.

Recently, Maria Bartiromo interviewed Larry Ellison of Oracle on 10/28/18

I was unable to obtain a link to the entire interview, but did find clips.

Following are a few notes I made on the fly which caught my attention as I did not have time to do a transcript, or even full topic coverage. I make no promises as to their accuracy, but I think they are reasonably close to what was conveyed:

He made the point that ALL of the biggie tech companies actually use Oracle work product.

He supported Marco Rubio. He says he also was a big contributor to Bill Clinton - neither Repub or Dem.

He was good friends with Bill Clinton and Tony Blair and Rubio, “because they are centrists”

He’s glad economy is doing well.

Big competitor is China, and we should not let its economy pass us up. He wants team USA to develop and protect our intellectual properties. China is our first serious competitor since 1930s.

He comments on the Google refusal to enter into US military,… and yet Google goes into China and is willing to censor the people there.

He wants capitalist systems to be victorious over communist systems.

He has a charitable foundation for health issues “Cures not Care” - supporting wellness, not cures for sick people.

He said if he had it to do over, he would be going into biotech.

He wants to see improvements in nutrition and education for children in 3rd world.

As a bonus, here is a clip of Larry Ellison 2 weeks ago:
“China is our big competitor”

This, ladies and gentlemen, is who Ezra Cohen-Watnick was working for/with.
