James O’Keefe says that Dakota Leazer, a Google Growth Strategist, told a reporter working for O’Keefe Media Group that there is now “a coordinated plan by Big Tech to help Harris win the 2024 election.” Leazer also said that it is “most profitable” for the company when Americans are “fearful” of “some incoming doom” and that “democracy is going to end.”

As Leazer put it, “Google is a very open and forward-thinking business. I don’t think it’s political at the very top if they think that one side will help them make more money. I think it’s more like economics. I think it is all about, like, the shares and the stock price.”

Leazer also said that political headlines that are “fueled out of hate” help Google make money from ads. He said that the tech giant has pushed ads with “rhetoric that was very much for Kamala” that “seemed to link out to real news” sites.

“Hate is behind these political headlines that get people to click on them, which brings in ad income,” he said.

“Basically, Google was pushing words that were very pro-Kamala through its ads, and they seemed to link to real news sites,” Leazer said. “The ad looked like it was for PBS, but it was really for the Kamala campaign or something.”

“Big Tech and big companies are working together to try and get her to win,” the Google official said.

“If you take a step back and look at who really runs this country, it’s a small group of billionaires, and a lot of them are in tech. It’s almost like tech rules the media,” Leazer said.

“Not totally,” he said. “If you go to Google, they’re changing the way the search engine works so that Kamala is more popular.”

“I think Facebook is pushing photos and videos that are positive about her,” Leazer said. “A lot of the AI stuff that’s kind of freeing her up right now does so in a way that’s usually good for her.”

Leazer then said again that he thinks a small group of billionaires are trying to influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential race.

“It seems like the top billionaires are working together to get Kamala to become our next CEO,” he said. “But I don’t think she will win.”

A lot of millionaires are planning to leave the UK this year because the left-wing Labour Party government of Sir Keir Starmer is likely to tax them too much.

While Rishi Sunak’s Tory government raised taxes to their highest level since World War II, a big part of this was to pay off debts incurred during the coronavirus lockdowns. Many people think that the British government will try to get even more money in the fall budget of the Labour government, with capital gains and inheritance taxes being two likely targets.

According to a story in The Times of London, a company that helps wealthy people move abroad said that they got 69% more calls from wealthy people wanting to leave the UK in August, the month after Prime Minister Starmer took office.

Henley & Partners, a similar business, said that a record 9,500 millionaires are expected to leave Britain this year. That’s more than any other country except Communist China.

It found that 4,200 millionaires left the country in the first five months of the year, which is when most people thought Labour would win the election. Another 5,300 millionaires are likely to leave by the end of the year. Low-tax places like Dubai, Singapore, and Switzerland are popular stopping spots for businesspeople and rich people.

People who are creative and spend lots of money are likely to leave, which has made people worry that the upcoming tax increases might not work with the Laffer Curve and not bring in enough money for the government.

Sir Keir Starmer has said that the people “with the broadest shoulders” should take the most weight. However, if a lot of rich Britons leave the country, Labour, which is meant to be the party of the working class, might have to raise taxes on middle-income people even more to pay for it.

Reports say that the government is already thinking about putting so-called “sin taxes” on sweets, cakes, and chips, as well as a tax on glass bottles. These changes would have the biggest effect on the poorest people, since they spend more of their money on food. Not only would this hurt the people already hurt by Labour’s plans to cut winter fuel support for seniors, but it would make things even worse.

Naval Ravikant, a famous Silicon Valley investor, said to Megyn Kelly that the legal action against former President Donald Trump made him “come off the sidelines.” He also said, “The moment you can weaponize the law on your enemies, that means the beginning of the end and a slide into a total banana republic.”

“The police weaponization is what kind of pulled me off the bleachers.” As Ravikant told Kelly on a recent show of The Megyn Kelly Show, “This is really disgusting actions because this is how you turn into a banana republic with military rule.” Ravikant helped to create AngelList and was its CEO for a while. He has invested in over 200 Silicon Valley startups over the course of a very successful career spanning decades.

“The end of the world starts the moment you can start using the law against your enemies on your own terms,” Ravikant said.

The businessman then used a famous quote by Óscar R. Benavides, who was President of Peru at the time: “For my friends, everything; for my foes, the law.”

Ravikant said, “That is, once you’re in charge and can say who the law applies to, you’re on a very slippery slope.” He added, “Slippery slopes are real.”

“If you look at the charges against Trump—and I did read them very carefully—they were false. They weren’t real,” Ravikant said.

“You broke the statute of limitations, you tried to make it sound like a crime when there was no proof. You can always find something when your business is complicated, like mine and a lot of other people’s,” he said.

Ravikant said more:

“This kind of selective punishment and harassment is what lets them get away with it. A lot of the progressive DA movement, which is led by George Soros and others, is based on the idea that, “Hey, we can choose whether or not to go after certain people.”

Sarah Bedford of The Washington Examiner said that VP Kamala Harris’s plans to deal with worries about the economy and prices are still unknown because she wants to be “all things to all people.”

While running for president in 2024, Harris’s campaign has been saying that she is a moderate on many issues and “not going to repeat” the mistakes of the Biden administration. Harris, on the other hand, has said in public that her beliefs have not changed. The most recent time she said it was her first interview on CNN last week, after becoming the Democratic presidential candidate.

“And all the while, we have not really heard from her what any of her plans are. When asked in the one interview she’s had since becoming the nominee why she has not tried to bring down prices or ease economic worries, she blamed covid, which most Americans have forgotten about by now,” Bedford said on Fox Business channel.

Bedford thought that one reason Harris hasn’t talked about the economy is that many people blame the Biden government for the high cost of living. Bedford said that Harris is “very closely” linked to the way the government is treating the economy because she “openly supported Bidenomics.”

Harris can’t stay away from the economy because she doesn’t want to let former President Donald Trump “frame the narrative” about it. Bedford also said that most people remember how things were “pretty good” when Trump was in office.

During her talk with CNN’s Dana Bash, Harris said that boosting the “middle class” is very important to her. Frank Luntz, a researcher, said her answer was “basically useless” because she only gave a general outline of her “opportunity economy” plan.

Then, Harris’s team put out an ad criticizing Trump for supporting policies that they say will hurt the middle class. This ad is part of a $370 million ad buy that will run from Labor Day to Election Day.

RVT announced this week that they would be spending $11.5 million on ads in a number of swing states. This comes as the race to election day gets underway.

A group that is against Trump is spending almost $12 million on a campaign against the former president. It is their biggest ad campaign to date, and it will include ads and billboards of people who no longer support Trump.

There are comments from these former GOP fans who have switched their support to Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign in a 30-second ad.

Voters in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin are the focus of the flood of ads. Harris needs to win Pennsylvania, which is one of the most important swing states, so the group will spend $4.5 million on ads there.

The group plans to spend $3 million in Michigan and $2.2 million in Wisconsin. Additionally, Republican Voters Against Trump plans to spend $1.5 million in Arizona and $375,000 in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. In the 2020 election, Biden got one of its electoral votes.

Nebraska doesn’t give electoral votes the way most states do. Instead, it gives two Electoral College votes to the winner of the state popular vote and one electoral vote to the winner of the popular vote in each of its three congressional districts.

“Donald Trump has destroyed the GOP,” the group’s head, Sarah Longwell, said in a statement. “Every time there is an election, he gets more and more Republicans to switch their vote because they don’t trust Donald Trump or the GOP candidates who look like him.”

The Harris team has tried to get dissatisfied Republicans to help them get more votes. It was last month in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention. Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger and former Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham were two of the most well-known Republicans to talk on stage.

Republican Voters Against Trump has raised six-figure sums of money to stop Trump from becoming president a second time.

An ad that ran in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in March showed how former Vice President Mike Pence refused to back Trump a second time.

There’s new evidence that backs up what most people already knew: your phone does listen to you.

404 Media reports that a marketing company that works with Facebook and Google has quietly admitted that it listens to people on their phones using microphones and then shows ads based on what it hears.

The television and radio news company Cox Media Group (CMG) also told investors in a pitch deck that its “Active Listening” software makes use of AI to “capture real-time meaning data by listening to our talks,” according to the story.

“Advertisers can use this speaking data along with behavioral data to target people who are already in the market,” the company said in its pitch deck.

Consumers “leave a data trail based on their chats and online behavior,” according to the deck from CMG. The AI-powered software looks at this “behavioral and voice data from 470+ sources.”

According to the presentation, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are clients of CMG’s “Active Listening” service.

Also, Google took CMG off of its “Partners Program” page after 404 Media asked the company to speak on the situation.

A Google spokesperson told the New York Post, “All advertisers must follow all relevant rules and regulations as well as our Google Ads policies. When we find ads or advertisers that break these policies, we will take the necessary action.”

Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said it would look into CMG to see if it broke any of its rules.

They said, “Meta does not use your cell’s microphone for ads, and we’ve been clear about this for years.”

“We are contacting CMG to make it clear that their scheme is not built on Meta data.”
But an Amazon representative told 404 Media that the company’s ads “have never worked with CMG on this program and have no plans to do so.”

Besides that, the business said it would punish any partner who broke its rules.

404 Media reports that this comes after MindSift, a company based in New Hampshire, said it used voice data to place focused ads by listening to people’s daily talks through microphones on their devices.

During an interview on CNN this week, famous businessman and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary slammed blue states as “uninvestable” because of their harsh laws and high taxes.

O’Leary says that states like New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and California are becoming less friendly to businesses. This is causing investment and jobs to move to more business-friendly places, which are often red states.

“No longer do I put companies here in New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, or California,” O’Leary said. “You can’t invest in those places. The rules here are crazy. Costs of living are too high.” He used Fargo, North Dakota, as an example of a place where his businesses are now moving because 40% of the workers there work from home, including people in Boston.

“What a mess New Jersey is! New York, not worth investing in,” he said.

The group then asked O’Leary why New York was “uninvestable” and if the high taxes were the only reason. It was clear that the hosts did not like what O’Leary was saying.

“The regulatory environment is punishing,” he said, explaining that harsh rules forced a global data center project near Niagara Falls to move to Norway. “That’s New York. Thousands of jobs will come from that.” Can’t invest in.”

“Don’t shoot the messenger,” he said to finish. “Just telling you the truth.”

They also talked about O’Leary’s fights with well-known leaders like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). He said he respected Warren as a leader, but he was very clear that he didn’t agree with her extreme views. He said, “When you have a punishing policy, you’re making a mistake.” He made it clear that these kinds of policies cost the state jobs and companies, which he knows well.

“She’s very successful, and that’s where I raised my kids. It’s such a tough place to live that we left to move to Florida with everyone else. I know, this is a tough lesson. This is getting a lot of bad press, but someone needs to say something about it because it’s now just a race between states and we don’t put money into it anymore. It creates jobs in other places where we put it.”

The billionaire who created the censorious LinkedIn is astonished to find that Ricks is using his money for gambling. His astonishment transpired during an interview on the “All-In Podcast,” originating from Silicon Valley and hosted by four affluent software entrepreneurs.

Over the weekend, Reid Hoffman was the guest of the podcast.

The Billionaire finances American Future Republic, whose primary objective seems to be beating Trump.

Following Trump’s 2022 declaration that he will run for reelection, Hoffman revived the E.J. Carroll lawsuit by accusing Trump of slander. Reviving the dead lawsuit was required, according to Hoffman’s advisor, because “the justice system was a crucial component of the campaign to safeguard America from MAGA.”

Additionally, Hoffman is funding the legal actions taken by Smartmatic voting machines against Fox News and Newsmax. He believes it will harm Trump if he puts pressure on the networks to cease casting doubt on voting machines, as Dominion did with regard to Fox News.

Hoffman has made no secret of his intention to imprison Trump, claiming that the true goal of his Get Trump campaign is to halt the “corroding [of] the rule of law,” if you can believe that. He did, in fact, tell presenter Jason Calacanis “that it’s not really important if” he believes the lady was sexually assaulted in the 1990s (she can’t recall). “A jury in New York found the former president responsible.”

Hoffman’s strategy is to drain the former president’s money account and undermine his chances of winning the 2024 election by using his enormous bankroll to finance the most significant law enforcement actions against Trump and his allies.

Hoffman said, “I believe if he violates the statutes that say he should go to jail,” in response to a question from co-host David Sacks. “I believe that powerful individuals are subject to the same laws that apply to regular people.” The problem is that these false accusations have only been leveled at Trump.

“What made them wait two years to file these lawsuits during an election year?” Sacks enquired. Hoffman retorted that the problem lay with Trump’s attorneys.

Hoffman further asserted—without offering any supporting evidence—that Trump had threatened to appoint January 6 rioters to his administration, an allegation that Sacks had raised concerns about.

On Friday, a person who used to work for the Clinton government wrote that Elon Musk is “out of control” and needs to be stopped.

“Elon Musk is out of control” was the title of Robert Reich’s opinion piece in the Guardian. “Here’s how to keep him in line.”

Reich, who used to be the Labor Secretary, said:

“Elon Musk is quickly turning his huge wealth—he is the richest person in the world—into a huge source of unchecked political power that supports Trump and other dictators around the world. He might have all the money in the world. He might own one of the most important social media sites in the world. That doesn’t mean we can’t stop him, though.”

Besides that, he said Musk let X users spread what he called “misinformation” on the site. Reich then gave Musk a list of ways to be “reined in,” one of which was to stop buying Tesla products.

“Regulators all over the world should use arrest threats against Musk if he doesn’t stop spreading lies and hate against X,” he said.

Reich’s last point was to “make sure Musk’s best choice for president does not win.”

It was in June 2023 that Reich wrote on social media that former President Trump shouldn’t be able to run for president again.

You should go after Trump, and Section 3 of the 14th Amendment makes it clear that someone who has “acted in rebellion” against the United States of America cannot hold public office. Taking him out of the running for president should be the only option. He said, “It’s that easy.”

Breitbart News said that the former Clinton official’s piece in the Guardian came after Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France:

“A story from Le Monde says that Durov was taken on a warrant for “various violations of his private messaging service.” There will likely be a court date on Sunday for the 39-year-old, who became a French citizen in 2021. The French government says Durov is responsible for Telegram’s “lack of control.” People in Europe are saying bad things about the chat app because it spreads false information “virally.”

While Durov was in jail, Musk told Breitbart News that he would “probably be smart” to “limit” his trips to places where free speech is not “constitutionally guaranteed.”

Kamala Harris says she agrees with Joe Biden’s plan to raise taxes in 2025. For the record, these tax hikes will cost about $5 trillion over the next ten years.

The liberal Cato Institute says that there are 90 taxes going up. These are just a few.

“Over 90 proposals include a higher tax on stock buybacks, higher taxes on carried interest, new global minimum taxes, new limits on how much high-paid employees can deduct, the end of some like-kind exchanges, permanent loss limits for pass-through businesses, more taxes on gas, and coal production, limits on retirement contributions and faster minimum distributions for high-income people, a new 30% excise tax on the cost of electricity for digital mining, and a higher death tax.”

Adam Michel of Cato says, “However, put together, Harris’s tax increase plans would be the biggest in more than 40 years. They would raise tax rates to some of the highest in the world, lowering pay for American workers and slowing economic growth.”

People are most against Harris’s plan to tax “unrealized cash gains.” At the moment, taxes aren’t charged on land or stock until it is sold. Harris wants to tax stocks or real estate every year that you own them, called “unrealized” capital gains.

The tax would only be for those worth more than $100 million. We shouldn’t have to think about it, right? Rich people should pay more than their “fair share” because they are rich.

This “wealth tax” floor will always be $100 million. If you believe that, I can sell you a bridge over the Chicago River.

Of course, we should not support the idea of taxing people for money they don’t have because it is wrong to do so.

The Heritage Foundation:

“There are no unrealized cash gains. The Democrats in Congress tried to tax them directly, but you can’t. Biden also wants to reclassify them as “income,” but that won’t work either. When you sell a property for more than you paid for it, you make a cash gain. A tax lawyer would call it a “realized” capital gain when the sale is over and you have the money.”

The allocation clause (Section 2, 14th Amendment) says that the tax on “unrealized capital gains” is unfair and goes against the Constitution. There is no such thing as a “direct tax” on income.

“The Constitution says that Congress can’t impose any direct taxes unless the money is split evenly among the states based on their populations.” Heritage says, “A direct tax is a tax on any property, which includes money, or the income from property, which cannot be passed on to someone else.”
