Windsor Accord Benefits TechGods & PEUs

The Trump II entourage to Windsor Castle included TechGods and PEUs (private equity underwriters).  ABC News reported formal State Dinner guests included:

Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, Rupert Murdoch, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

The focus of Trump's trip was deals.  BBC reported:

The vast majority of the £150bn investment - £90bn - will come from Blackstone over the next decade, although how most of this money will be spent has yet to be decided. The US private equity firm announced in June it would spend £370bn across Europe over 10 years.

Blackstone co-founder Stephen Schwarzman has been busy filling his three acre lake within his British countryside estate.  His water pumping efforts aroused the ire of his neighbors.  Local officials cut off the spigot.

TechGods and PEU Legends generally don't give without the expectation of return.  Both have long histories of tax and regulatory avoidance.

Politico reported:

...the tech industry are joining forces with the White House to pressure the U.K. on digital taxes. 

The tech lobby also wants to see some rollback of the U.K.’s Online Safety Act

The UK can do this the easy way or the hard way.  Trump II, the digital Caligula and his TechGod/PEU predators, are coming.  They plan to usurp everything.

Media Earthquake 9.0

Tectonic shifts are underway in the media landscape.  Trump II, the digital Caligula, struck a deal framework that puts Tic Tok US operations under the ownership of TechGods and private equity underwriters (PEU).  Forbes reported on the club deal:

An investor group headlined by Larry Ellison’s Oracle, the private equity Silver Lake and Marc Andreessen's venture capital firm will hold a controlling stake in TikTok’s new U.S. business, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday

Reuters reported US based investors will own 80% of the equity with Chinese investors holding the remaining 20%.

TechGod of the first order Larry Ellison is joined by fellow TechGod Marc Andreessen and PEU Silver Lake in the deal. 

One need not look far to find harm these people have done in the business world and to society.  Andreessen's Synapse imploded after implying customers had FDIC protection and then left them on the hook for $85 million (at last counting). 

Social media, birthed by TechGods, has torn apart our social fabric and facilitated direct and significant harm to children.  Now these same people are taking over all forms of media.  

Semafor reported:

Once-great broadcast networks have long been selling off their stations to private equity-backed operators with antiseptic names like Nexstar and Tegna

Tegna is an affiliate of PEU Apollo Global Management.  Nexstar and Sinclair Broadcasting Group are publicly traded companies.  

Both Nexstar and Sinclair have courted Tegna.  The Federal Communications Commission must approve any merger and provide exceptions to current regulations.

Politicians Red and Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one. 

The free speech restricting Red Team will determine who gets what.  Rest assured there will be political deal fees for Trump II's hard work.  Will they be direct or indirect?  

Gray Lady Lawsuit Cover for ?

Might Trump II, the digital Caligula's $15 billion lawsuit against the NYTimes be a diversion for his next massive money grab? 

Which of his close supporters will get Tik Tok equity stakes?  There is zero chance Trump II would let a political rival in on the deal.

Dealmakers deserve deal fees.  I expect a Kwame Leonard type indirect payoff for Trump's Tik Tok framework.  Trump II already got a luxury plane, currently being updated on the taxpayer dime.

I wrote this yesterday:

Who's in the Tik Tok deal? Lutnick's kids, the Trump boys, Dominari Holdings, Mnuchin, Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt, the whole membership of the Executive Branch ("Just Us" Club)...or any private equity firms needing marketing fodder for their stale holdings?

My wise friend wrote re:  Trump II: 

His whole family is minting money like never before, in industries they know nothing about.

You know you are on the road to serfdom. No disclosures, no audits, just toll booths on the Fraud Expressway.  

TDS - Trump Drains Society

The bigger the diversionary "private individual" Trump II headline, the larger the related grift or scam.  Tic, toc, tic, toc goes the clock on the looming private deal for Tik Tok.  

There is a very low likelihood Tik Tok will go to a public company.  Secrecy is required in the Houses of Greed.  Subsuming a whole organization takes a true monster and team of enablers.

And the Madman rants on without ceasing..... 

Update 9-18-25:  Oracle's Larry Ellison, a Legendary TechGod of the First Order, is supposedly in on the Tik Tok deal.  Surely, it is a club effort.

Forbes reported:

Larry Ellison’s Oracle, the private equity Silver Lake and Marc Andreessen's venture capital firm will hold a controlling stake in TikTok’s new U.S. business, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday

Update 9-20-25:  Politico reported the judge tossed Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit.

“A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally or the functional equivalent of the Hyde Park Speakers’ Corner.”

Three Super Villains to Join Forces: Expect Human Remains

The Saudi Arabian monarchy may join forces with private equity underwriters (PEU) on AI.  That Saudi human judgement imprisoned Saudi royals and businessmen in the Riyadh Ritz Carlton for a princely shakedown.  It killed more than one journalist with virtually no consequences.  

AI goes where it is steered, so any HUMAIN information scrapping would avoid negative information on Saudi Arabia, as well anything detrimental to private equity as it targets 401(k)s across the U.S.

PEUReport is now avoided by scraping bots as it does not serve the RIA's private equity sales bullets.

Lex Luthor (PEU) has now joined forces with General Zod (Saudi Arabia) and Parasite (AI) to inflict untold damage on the world of people struggling to live.

I expect there to be significant human remains.  Just as our government protect Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and serial child predator Jeffrey Espstein, it will turn the other way when the body count starts rising.

Trump II, the digital Caligula, lobbed another savage whim recommending corporations go to reporting every six months vs. quarterly.  Isn't AI supposed to make everything easier, especially routine things like financial reporting?  Why push back the time frame for sharing information if it can be more readily produced?  Because someone does not want that information shared.  

Politicians Red and Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren (the creeps behind AI).  Inceasingly, more are one.

Carlyle Adds Another Secondaries Fund, Lake Blackstone

Billionaire private equity underwriters (PEU) need more cash.  Last week Carlyle's AlpInvest announced a $20 billion package to buy up PE secondary offerings.  This week they tacked on another $4 to 5 billion fundraise for essentially the same thing.  

Carlyle co-founder and Declaration Partners founder David Rubenstein is readying for a Stubhub IPO.  Stubhub is an affiliate of Declaration (not in the Carlyle stable).

One PEU needs money to fill his three acre lake in his British countryside estate.  Blackstone's co-founder Stephen Schwarzman aroused the ire of his neighbors with his water pumping efforts.

As if the PEU boys care what the serfs do or think.  They have politicians who constantly jigger the system for their billionaire donors to win, win and keep on winning.  Yes, PEU preferred "carried interest" taxation is still around despite both political parties promising to eliminate it.

Politicians Red and Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.

Update 9-16-25:  Carlyle intends to offer senior notes for general corporate purchases..  The filing did not specify an amount.  

Seeking Alpha reported Carlyle will issue $800 million in senior notes paying 5.05% interest.

USAT to Launch Under Bo Hines

Tether, USDT, is the largest stablecoin.  Rather than make that comply with all the recently passed garbage crypto legislation, the company is launching a new one, USAT.  

Apparently U.S. dollar innovation requires imitation.  Stablecoins are not the real thing, no matter how hard the flimflammer's sell.  It's an intermediary, a pass through entity which collects interest from Treasuries and fees from users.

The new CEO for USAT is former Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council under Trump II, the digital Caligula.  Bo levered his seven months in that role into his new job.

Surely, a number of Cantor Fitzgerald related SPACs are lining up to offer a USAT corporate treasury.  Trump ushered in the era where everyone can be a Fed Chair and invent money from nothing, even a 29 year former public servant who set up his own millionaire future in a record short time.

That's the kind of ethics one expects from Trump II, who ensures his family and his buddies make out like bandits courtesy of the levers of government.  It's grotesque on so many levels.

Trump subsumes all he touches.  His hangers on slink behind him snatching up the spoils.  There's a new CryptoBro, one grown from a short White House stay.  Bo Hines made quite a snatch.

Mandelson Sacked, Who's Next?

One politician bit the dust as a result of his Jeffrey Epstein ties.  Lord Peter Mandelson was fired as the UK's Ambassador to the United States.  

Mandelson's long political career provides many opportunities to see where his loyalty lies.  It's with the politically powerful and that includes private equity underwriters (PEU).  

Epstein's largest funder ($170 million) was PEU Apollo Global co-founder Leon Black.  Like Mandelson, Black stepped down in 2021 after the depth of his Epstein ties were revealed.  Leon settled his criminal and civil liability with the U.S. Virgin Islands for $62.5 million in 2023.  

In 2010 Mandelson formed a consultancy that served PEUs and other corporate clients.  

Peter Mandelson is co-founder of Global Counsel. He has played an instrumental role in establishing GC as one of the world's leading strategic advisory firms

Global Counsel's website lists its customers which includes "acquirers,"  i.e. private equity.

I'm sure other PEUs are connected to the Epstein.  Those may or may not come out over time.

The world has the opportunity to see clear and compelling evidence that admitted sexual molester Trump II was Epstein's wingman for many years.  Some choose to close their eyes and look the other way.  That behavior, looking the other way, enabled Jeffrey Epstein to accumulate over one thousand victims.

A post script PEU tie is that Epstein's islands ended up in the hands of the founder of Black Diamond Capital Management of Stamford, Connecticut with offices in London, St. Thomas and Mumbai, India.

The PEU family is rather large and black sheep seem to be fairly common.  Politicians Red and Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.

Trump's protecting the abuser class shows he remains Epstein's wingman.

Update 9-14-25:  The Atlantic noticed as well.
