For a former Prime Minister whose legacy has become increasingly discredited on many fronts, Tony Blair crops up a surprising number of times concerning the major issues of the day as we saw during the fallout from the 2016 EU Referendum and the campaign by the British Establishment to first block it, then water it down as much as possible, and also his notorious intervention in the mandatory “vaccine” controversy.
Indeed the Starmer regime’s current push for British citizens to carry digital id appears to have Blair’s fingerprints all over it. He is also involved in the current push for a ceasefire in Gaza, recently announced by Donald Trump, amazingly being nominated for a leading role in an interim administration to govern Gaza.

How does the former British Prime Minister keep resurfacing in this way? His connections with the World Economic Forum are widely known, but what of the rather less high profile Tony Blair Institute For Global Change?
Wikipedia dryly describe it as a “non-profit organisation”, founded in 2016 by former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

Leading causes it claims to be connected with include “combating extremism”, “the fight against populism”, governance and the Middle East, “helping governments and leaders get things done”, as it’s own website proudly proclaims. And a quick visit to the website finds it at the vanguard of the current push for digital id. The fact that this is likely to have a profound impact on personal liberty and privacy that is likely to further upend our way of life is swept aside as “old-fashioned thinking”. The fact that this proposal never featured in the government’s election manifesto is also glossed over with references to it being a non party political issue.
To have such influence Blair’s institute requires massive funding and he has that in droves. One of his key backers is Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle and one of the world’s richest businessmen, said to be worth $393 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Wealthier than Elon Musk, Ellison has largely slipped under the radar compared to Bill Gates, George Sorus, Klaus Schwab and to a lesser extent, Larry Fink. However he has invested much in backing Blair, committing to invest as much as £257 million to the Institute, if research via Grok is accurate. This backing has enabled Blair to increase his staff from around 200 to approaching 1,000.

Ellison intriguingly is also a close ally of Donald Trump which may explain how Blair came to come onboard with Trump’s project for Gaza. Other than that, their relationship would appear to be largely commercial. Oracle secured major UK government contracts during Blair’s premiership, resulting in Oracle running more than 50 per cent of the British Government’s financial software.
Both Ellison and Blair share an obsession with health databases and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Blair has been a longstanding champion of identity cards. Oracle would be naturally poised to gain from lucrative contracts building and maintaining such a digitally based system, including data management and AI integration. Both The Times and the Daily Mail have been running stories regarding Tony Blair lobbying on behalf of Oracle to Business Minister, Peter Kyle. Oracle have also been in consultation with Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Heath Secretary Wes Streeting. The Mail story refers to 29 meetings in the last 9 months between Oracle and government ministers and officials.

The consequences for all of us if this technology goes ahead will be profound. There is little comfort to be had from Ellison’s own comments on the subject, where he said that “citizens will be on their best behavior” amid the constant recording of their activities. Everyone, including law enforcement, would face regular surveillance as daily life becomes digitally documented nonstop. What could possibly go wrong?
