The question remains

I am not here to pass judgement, because I have no idea what is at stake. You see, for most of the time (all of the time) I was in the understanding there was Yemen, the partially disposed Yemeni government and the Houthi terrorists. That is pretty much all of what I knew and now I learn that there are more sides to this. I actually figured this out around Christmas, so when I got the news that there is a rift between the UAE and Saudi Arabia I was confused (and massively unhappy). You see, I like both countries and it is becoming an issue where the child (me) needs to choose between his two parents (KSA and UAE) and that is making me unhappy. I for one still am in the dream settling one day retiring to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, but I would still also like to visit Riyadh and the KSA. So this does not seem like a happy moment at present.

As such the New York Times (at https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-uae-yemen-separatist-zubaidi.html) is giving us ‘Saudi Official Accuses U.A.E. of Helping Yemeni Separatist to Escape’ and we are given “Aidarous al-Zubaidi is wanted on treason charges in Yemen after he led a lightning military offensive that escalated a bitter feud between the Emirates and Saudi Arabia.”

We are also given that Aidarous al-Zubaidi, leader of the Southern Transitional Council, in Aden, Yemen is seen as the group that has been pushing for an independent state in southern Yemen, with Emirati backing. And we see “Saudi Arabia on Thursday accused its neighbor and ally the United Arab Emirates of helping a separatist leader wanted on treason charges to escape Yemen, a claim that deepens a rift between two regional powerhouses. The separatist leader, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, leads a group called the Southern Transitional Council, which has been pushing for an independent state in southern Yemen, with Emirati backing.” And in addition we are given “Saudi intelligence determined that Mr. al-Zubaidi fled Yemen on a boat to Somalia early Wednesday morning and that he took a plane from there to the Emirates, according to Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen”. Oh, on a side note, congratulations to Turki al-Maliki, in getting promoted to Major General, last time I mentioned him he was still a Colonel. You might not think it is important, but his reports on the Houthi terrorists are beyond reproach (as I see it), as such I trust his intelligence and reporting on face value at present. In this setting we see there are a lot more settings to this and I am not passing judgement on them, but I am passing judgement on the western media as they have left us in the dark on most of this. So whilst we are given “A spokesman for the Southern Transitional Council, Anwar al-Tamimi, said by phone that the coalition’s statement was false and that Mr. al-Zubaidi remained in southern Yemen. The Emirati government did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Times could not immediately confirm Mr. al-Zubaidi’s whereabouts.” And as the Times could not verify his whereabouts, I merely see a setting that likely confirms the intelligence that the Major General has access to. 

So as we are given “The Saudi allegation was an unusually pointed salvo in the increasingly bitter feud between Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, two key U.S. allies. That feud has escalated since Mr. al-Zubaidi’s group led a lightning offensive across southern Yemen last month, seizing strategically located, oil-rich territory. Saudi officials denounced those moves, which encroached on a region bordering the kingdom, saying they threatened national security. This past weekend, forces allied with the internationally recognized Yemeni government recaptured most of the territory, plus some additional areas, with Saudi support.” I feel that this is another instance where the western media is betraying its readers by keeping them in the dark. 

So personally I am wondering what exactly the Southern Transitional Council is and what their motives are. Yes I see that the implications are that they want to slice up Yemen, I think that this is a bad thing, but that is me reacting on limited intelligence. If this setting proceeds the Houthi terrorists get to play piggy in the middle (is that an acceptable expression in a muslim setting?) with two governments in Yemen. It enables too many options for the Houthi forces and I cannot see if I am right or if I am wrong. Personally there should be no transition until the Houthi terrorists are permanently dealt with, but that I merely me and I could be way wrong here.

So as we see “Mohammed al-Ghaithi, a member of the delegation, said in a social media post on Thursday that the delegation “valued the efforts of our brothers in Saudi Arabia to invite us and host a conference on southern dialogue.”” We can clearly see that there is a dialogue with Saudi Arabia, with the additional “General al-Maliki said that Saudi intelligence had learned that Mr. al-Zubaidi had fled to Abu Dhabi, the Emirati capital, transiting via Somaliland with the Emirates’ help. The Emirati government has cultivated close ties to Somaliland, a breakaway state strategically located in the horn of Africa, roughly 200 miles by sea from Aden.” And here I get all kinds of confused interactions in my brain, but the clear picture is missing. The New York Times gives us a good story and that is fine, but the larger setting of the STC is missing, and without that there remains several settings of doubt and I already voiced one of them. The article ends with a question I can get behind “It is unclear why the Emirates backed the group. Some analysts speculate that the Emirati leadership would like to hold sway in Yemeni ports located on global trade routes. Emirati officials say only that they stand by Yemenis’ rights to security and self-determination. Yemen was divided into two countries for much of its modern history, before uniting in 1990.” But as it is stated, Yemen was divided into two countries so what were they originally? Considering that this was merely 35 years ago, there is a larger setting this implies that this was within one generation, so there might be issues with that generation. So as the New York Times is one of the few that is giving us a lot more than the rest is, it gives an incomplete picture and that has me wondering how my views needs some correction, not about the Houthi terrorists. They are terrorists plain and simple. There are however other setting which are not known to me and it gives a confusing setting (to me at least).

So have a great day today and I am considering  life on Iceland (it is 44 degrees celsius in my room at present, which is 3 degrees worse than yesterday).

The view of a psychopath

That is in question and it is not on Trump or anyone else. It is the view of me. So as I ‘hide’ behind the numbers that the world shows, Am I the Psychopath? A case could be made that I might be a Psychotic sociopath or even a social Psychopath. All optional settings, but I need to investigate me, because the person who accuses all others from being nuts is mandatory required to investigate themself in that same process. We can go (at times) with everyone is nuts except me, but if you do not cross the t and dot the i you get an unbalanced equation and that equation is important in that setting and as such I investigate myself. 

In the past I have fervently given the setting that America is broke but the weird setting that no one else is saying that. OK, I found one voice, the voice of David Kelly (at JP Morgan) but is that enough? And the setting that the New York Times is giving us (at https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/us/politics/trump-interview-power-morality.html) is a nice handle to use. We are given ‘Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’’ where we see “President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.” Oh, we are given “use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations” and I am considering here that I am the psychopath? And for that matter, what president, king, or emperor is willing to forego international law? In what universe is that acceptable? I get that we get all the Saudi Arabia mentions, but Saudi Arabia is a monarchy and last I checked they are massively driven by Islam, and the Quran is their manifesto. It is a basic setting of morality, the morality of the Quran and I accept that. But for a western leader to say that he is forgoing international law is a stretch too far. So when the New York Times gives us “When asked what was his higher priority, obtaining Greenland or preserving NATO, Mr. Trump declined to answer directly, but acknowledged “it may be a choice.” He made clear that the trans-Atlantic alliance was essentially useless without the United States at its core.” We see an additional element of the setting that America is broke. It is willing to forgo NATO, even start a war with NATO all to get Greenland? Then we are given ‘Trump Considers Payments to Persuade Greenland Residents’ (source: Business Korea, Reuters has a paywall). As such as Greenland has 57,000 people, even at $1,000,000 each it would still be a bargain. But the American stinginess will come cropping up at some point. These are all actions of a broke nation. All in a setting where Wall Street is willing to remain silent so that they can remain in the party. That is at stake and no one seems to be realising this. And insight that I saw this moment come towards us 12 years ago, the fact that ‘at present’ it is arriving slowly is also important. It is important as the infrastructure will have been left to rot for years and that is before this generation get to collect their retirement and in 2030 the get the ‘last payment’ paper. Some will be only 60 years old. They will go through the rest of life owning nothing at all. That is coming and when others are in denial, I can wait. I will recall this message in 2035 and show the world how useless the economic media has been, they will not be allowed to say ‘it was for the good of Wall Street’ it will be the final straw of treason they face.  

So as I am investigating my psychotic setting, I feel that I have passed. As a psychopath I fail because I recognise the need for international law and as a sociopath I understand that other nations (like Saudi Arabia) have values etched in religion, not even my religion and I get that. So I fail twice over. But the New York Times gives us another person with the psyche that must be examined. So draw your own conclusions. And whilst your at it, why Is Canada, Venezuela and Greenland important? Anyone who has hit the limit of their credit card knows. You either have collateral that increases your value, or you find a stash of gold. The stash is found in Venezuela where they have the largest oil reserve in the world. It is not particularly useful, because that oil needs to be gotten and it is different from most oils. It has properties that makes it debatable, but the Guardian reports less than a day ago ‘Trump plans to use Venezuela’s huge crude reserves ‘to cut US oil price to $50 a barrel’’, do you actually think this will happen, or will he sell on and pocket that $10 per barrel for 30 billion barrels giving him the 300 billion to ease interest payments? And that is a simple setting, he might be in there years to vulture Venezuela as carrion eater for all the oil they can get. And that will take time and he is running out of time, so here comes Greenland with all its rare minerals and that gives America the leeway to let it run its creed and a little longer. But in the last setting he want Canada too, all this nations, not because of National Security, but because its credit card is running on empty and Canada is not budging and I for one am willing to aid Canada in its protection (the protection of Greenland too as the Queen of Denmark is originally Australian). So am I the psychopath of does that title fit another person better?

And in all this the economic editors of global news are now in the dock too, because I don’t have an economic degree and they do, so they should have seen this coming a mile away. ‘So whilst we are given ““Ownership is very important,” Mr. Trump said as he discussed, with a real estate mogul’s eye, the landmass of Greenland — three times the size of Texas but with a population of less than 60,000. He seemed to dismiss the value of having Greenland under the control of a close NATO ally. When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success. I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do, whether you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document.” The conversation made clear that in Mr. Trump’s view, sovereignty and national borders are less important than the singular role the United States plays as the protector of the West.” He actually ‘hid’ behind “protector of the West” the folly of men behind tariffs, behind the setting of the 51st state mentions, that is the protector of the west? Begging for a Nobel peace price attacked Venezuela in seemingly contraction of International law. I know I am not the most versed person in international law, but I see a few hitches showing up just like that. And now he is ready to go to war with NATO if other means do not work out for him. So how is that sane on any level? Oh and for that matter, where are the United Nations in all this?

As we consider all kinds of options, I also recognise that I am the only one seeing what others cannot see, in the end I am an actual psychopath and I recognize the other psychopath in the game. Perhaps that is a truth, but as I recognized international law and President trump was said to have given the New York Times “his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might”, so I might be okay, and there was the recognition of the Quran as a guiding principle for some nations. I fear that I failed the psychopath and sociopath test. Too my credit, I also failed the doctor test, I will apparently never be a doctor, so there is that.

Have a great day you all, I feel like the wicked witch of the west. It is 41 degrees in my room and I’m melting.

Our lull moments

That happens, we all crave it, the option of bliss, inactivity, moments of calmness and we find it in different ways. I for one have this with a video game. Not some edge of seat Epic setting, but the Horizon setting, Skyrim, Oblivion, fall out, the list goes on. And yesterday I saw a list of two dozen games coming to the PS5 and some woke me up. There was off course Wolverine by Insomniac. I will be waiting for that one, but at that point one game turned up that I never expected The game STYX has as far as I know been a Xbox game and it is a excellent game, Stealth of the better variety. And you better rely on stealth as you are a 4’ goblin with his trusty knife. What drove me to this game that any level had several solution to solving it and you got points for completing other ways. It was a lovely time. Now its coming to Sony Playstation and we can rejoice. More important there are a few other settings we could consider. One of them is RYSE, son of Rome. The good parts is that the graphics were really good and the storyline was amazing. The two downsides were in the first was that all combat is massively repetitive. And the second one was that you had too defeat several bosses twice, after the first time he completely reset his health bar. I don’t like this, but that might just be me. So as I see it, when you redo the battle setting of Marius Titus you might have an amazing Playstation winner. So when we consider the funny part, who thought that Frankfurt had more to offer than Frankfurters? Crytek GmbH might be the next great thing coming from Germany, go that is an exaggeration, but the truth is that RYSE might have dies too soon and too small a death, so whilst some might object as it was released 12 years ago, I say ‘be still’ good games overcome systems and generations (example Mass Effect and Oblivion) and those are merely two who made the system generation jump. I think that Ryse could do the same (if the two weaknesses are dealt with) As far as I see it, everyone is looking at what might be (I do that too at times) but at times I look behind me what we left and there is plenty to be had in that direction too. I gave some of this ‘life’ in an IP solution I offered to Saudi Arabia and I still believe it can work, not merely for the games, but for the two sides of that equation that could propels Saudi Arabia’s gaming and other settings a lot further. Don’t be miffed Amazon got the same option, but they decided to ignore this whilst they are banking on AI (good luck with that).

So whilst we were given ‘Amazon Pulls AI-Powered Fallout Recap After Getting Key Story Details Wrong’ which comes with “According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Amazon is betting AI can identify key plot points for a series to be synchronized with a voiceover narration and dialogue snippets.”” Apart from the settings that are incorrect and incomplete. Amazon needs to realise that this is all programmed and the programmer might not see what needs validating and verification. They might not know, but the fans will pick up on this instantly. And Engadget gives us ‘Amazon’s AI-generated recap tool didn’t watch Fallout very closely’ this relates to games, because when these people get the AI part ‘working’ they will go over games in that same way and that is where the blunders start adding up to the folly of people who blindly believe in AI. Because I mentioned once that 2026 will be the setting of AI court cases and I was proven (yet) again correct as we are given ‘CanLII and Caseway AI reportedly moving towards settlement in copyright dispute’ as well as TechCrunch given us 8 hours ago ‘Google and Character.AI negotiate first major settlements in teen chatbot death cases’ merely two cases in the second week on January. So, how many more will follow? Only seven hours ago we were given ‘Musk lawsuit over OpenAI for-profit conversion can head to trial, US judge says’ and all this relates to games, because last November we were given ‘Ubisoft Reveals Teammates – An AI Experiment to Change the Game’ and I reckon it will merely take one slip up to thwart the statistics of a player and he will be crying in the lap of some ambulance chaser. A setting I saw coming a mile away which a few people have experienced if they are stealth players. 

As such my lull moment gets blown away with some AI character, team mate or not. But that might merely be me, but what Ido remember was call on this setting months ago and now we see two being settled, whilst OpenAI is now entering the dock for what might cost them a pretty penny. Did those shareholders consider that this might become the destination of their investment?

Have a great day.

The accused speaks

Well, I have had an interesting day (so far), I have been accused of being anti-American and a whole range of other things (some of it on lacking evidence), so here goes.

First of all, I am not anti-American, I am heavily pro-Canadian, so there. Then there is the ‘alarmist’ accusation. That is fair, but it comes with certain evidence. In the first I gave you the source the Texas Standard where Matt Smith, lead energy analyst at Kpler gives us “So if we just consider U.S. production and Latin American production in Venezuela specifically, U.S. shale is light sweet crude. It is very high quality. Venezuelan crude is low quality, heavy sour crude. And U.S. gulf coast refineries have been geared towards running this Venezuelan heavy sour crude, Mexican heavy sour crude as well.” As such the few who can process this crude is Chevron for one (they were originally in Venezuela) and then we get Fortune telling us ‘President Trump stands ready to send U.S. Big Oil into Venezuela en masse, but the messy reality of rebuilding a ruined industry takes many years’ with the added “President Donald Trump says American Big Oil “want to go in so badly” into Venezuela and spend billions of dollars, but the reality is U.S. oil producers are hesitant, and it will take many years and many tens of billions of dollars to rebuild Venezuela’s decimated oil sector after the U.S forcibly removed and arrested leader Nicolás Maduro during a string of attacks on Jan. 3.” But as I see it, President Trump only has 1108 days left, so there will not be enough time, apart from Chevron optionally making a massive windfall (they were there first and they would know how to process the crude oil Venezuela has), so how is this an American setting? Because President Trump told us so. 

Then we get about America being broke. There is way too much evidence all around us. The issue is that you have to connect the dots yourself because the media does nothing that hurts their golden eggs. Now some claim I am making the wrong assumptions. That is fair, because I too can fail. And if you are relying on your whatever AI you use, you will fail, because I tend to work in multidimensional viewpoints and there is (as far as I know no AI that can do that), the programmer didn’t program it and as such it fails. One person even accused me of being a “a passionate, alarmist synthesis of 2026 events. It resonates in fringe discussions but lacks rigorous sourcing or nuance.” Really? That might be the case, but the media is actually no help at all and the setting of debt is clearly shown in numerous sources and so is the $1.2 trillion dollar interest bill. So what happens when 24% of the annual budget is taken all whilst America was unable to keep a budget for over 10 years? And now you have two make due with 24% less? That was before President Trump made trade-wars with Canada (aka Tariffs) and the rest of the world. As such Tourism was highly impacted and we are not getting the real numbers, especially when we see the claims of up around $6-$12 billion, all whilst some give us estimates of the total potential shortfall as high as $29 billion. And that was before some other elements are considered I came to up to $80 billion in the widest setting (like air B&B, temporary jobs for students and several other factors) where I saw as California and Florida being the hardest hit and in addition the Canadian winter geese who are at present shunning Florida. All elements that will be added burdens to the lack of revenue for America. And with these facts I came to the speculative conclusion that the Democrats are in on this. Because as I see it, the political field is all about blaming the other side, but now, the democrats remain silent, especially where Greenland is concerned. Why is that?

As it stands Marjorie Taylor Green has been more outspoken against President Trump than Hakeem Jeffries has been, How does that make sense? And I am willing to put that not on them but on the media and what they are not telling us. So what else is going on? Oh yes, I was ‘accused’ to “openness to partnering with China against U.S. “greed,” framing it as a “warlike Commonwealth” response.” What I actually said was “America needs to learn what a warlike Commonwealth can bring to the table. I still think that a partnership with China is preferred, but I get that this is politically a hammer to heavy to wield.” I countered the language of a bully with the response to a bully. Something that an AI is unlikely to decipher. And as Canada is optionally attacked as the 51st State, I find it acceptable to color the Commonwealth in an aggressive response. As I see it, the last time Australians were blood red eyed aggressive was in Gallipoli in 1915, so we (Australians) are due for another exercise, and an exercise to protect Canada is definitely a worthy one. 

So it is fair to see me emotional, but the emotions that president Trump gave is all are massively aggravating. So I feel justified in my emotions. 

So in other news there are the Horizon games (yes I am changing subject). The third Horizon game is seemingly planned for 2027-2028. And might be a launch title for the PS6. Which is claimed, I have no idea when that thing comes to market. But I was thinking as it would be fair to see the PS6 with a 4KHD drive, there might be a case to launch the game with all three games upgraded for PS6. Disc one would be Zero Dawn/Frozen Wilds  and Forbidden West/Burning Shores and disc 2 would hold the third game. As Zero Dawn was released in 2017 it would be a 10th anniversary release. A game that almost every Sony gamer would want and to play them all (likely after the third game) would be one hell of a journey. I reckon that many non Sony gamers will buy the PS6 merely for that option. Just an idea I was having. I am currently replaying Forbidden West and I am still in awe of the entire journey this game offers. As I see it, it might be the best game in the history of gaming and that is saying something. 

And come to think of it, the world of Zero Dawn and Forbidden West might be preferable to the one we face her at present. Just some food for thought.

Have a great day everyone.

Edge of the coin

That is as I realise the setting we are in. And I get it, I sound silly, but I was unaware of the scope of the setting (I will easily blame my lack of an economic education) but three parts came to my mind opening my eyes. The first part is seen on the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyg1jg8xkmo) two hours ago ‘US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military, says White House’ all whilst my previous article is 14 hours old. As such America is ready to go to war with NATO itself. And here we are given “US President Donald Trump has been discussing “a range of options” to acquire Greenland, including use of the military, the White House said. The White House told the BBC that acquiring Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of fellow Nato member Denmark – was a “national security priority”.” Which is as I see it a blatant lie, but I wrote about that 14 hours ago. The second part came from Houston (Texas) where (at https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/venezuela-oil-future-texas-development-trump-maduro/) we are given ‘From Caracas to Houston: How Venezuela’s oil future could affect Texas’ the direct takeaway is “President Trump is talking about rebuilding the oil infrastructure there. If you’re in the oil biz in Houston or Irving right now, what do you think this means for the Texas oil industry? Are we looking at the possibility that U.S. companies could rush down into Venezuela as a result of what happened this weekend?

Well, no, so it’s a crude quality thing, right? So if we just consider U.S. production and Latin American production in Venezuela specifically, U.S. shale is light sweet crude. It is very high quality. Venezuelan crude is low quality, heavy sour crude. And U.S. gulf coast refineries have been geared towards running this Venezuelan heavy sour crude, Mexican heavy sour crude as well.

And so it’s not going to impact U.S. production per se because it’s not going to be displacing that crude. The way, if you’re cynical, you can look at this is that the U. S. needs this Venezuelan crude and so that’s what’s driving President Trump’s efforts here.”

You might think that this is ludicrous and to some extent it is, but there is another side. Actually two sides, but I will talk about this in a moment. The thirst side is given to us by the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/06/the-guardian-view-on-trumps-capture-in-caracas-oil-matters-but-its-not-the-whole-story) where we see ‘The Guardian view on Trump’s raid in Caracas: oil matters, but it’s not the whole story’ where we see “US sanctions worsened Venezuela’s slump, but lifting them alone will not restore growth: the industrial base has been hollowed out and skilled labour gone. If US oil majors take a larger share of revenues, Caracas will be more cash-strapped than before. It is hard not to recall Iraq – not because Venezuela is Iraq, but because of how the decision was made. No single rationale was decisive about Caracas. Oil, drugs, ideological fixation and presidential ego all featured. Each was not enough on its own; together they saw Mr Trump make a high‑risk move with no clear endgame.” It didn’t hit me at first, but this kept nagging into the back off my brain. There were two parts that were missing (one actually). You see, we were given “Trump told NBC on Jan. 5 that it could take less than 18 months to revive Venezuelan oil production, with the U.S. potentially reimbursing American oil companies for their investment. “A tremendous amount of money will have to be spent, and the oil companies will spend it, and then they’ll get reimbursed by us, or through revenue,” Trump said. In his Jan. 6 announcement Trump said Venezuelan oil “will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.” Energy Secretary Chris Wright is coordinating the effort, Trump added. Wright is meeting with oil executives in Miami this week.” You would like to see that this is more Trump BS but you would be wrong, the timeline does’t match. You see President Trump has almost exactly 1109 days left. Now consider that Chevron or anyone else picks up the baton, there is not enough time to make a decent profit and on the other had, the rather nasty side effect of oil is that a spark sets it off and President Maduro has plenty of allies in Venezuela. So either a massive army comes to Venezuela or there is another setting in place. That’s when it hit me, actually the Greenland setting left me with this. America is ready to go to war with NATO? At present NO DEMOCRAT is speaking up and Hakeem Jeffries leader of the Democrat party has been uncannily silent on these matters. I dawned on me that America elected an idiotic baboon as president because THEY ALL KNOW the party is about to end. They all know the debt they are in is about to spiral out of control and they need Venezuelan oil, Greenland natural wealth and Canadian resources to keep afloat (Canada might almost be out of danger) but America needs Venezuela and Greenland and that is thinly part to keep them afloat. Did Democrats actually think they could go in denial after the fact? 

They all knew and no one reacted, that is your America of today, they are no longer an ally, they have become a clear and present danger of Europe, the EU and the Commonwealth. Because after Greenland how much trust does an American hold? None at all.

I have to be crazy not having seen this before, we got swept up in the media cycles (they are now also an active part towards the enemies destination) there is no way all these Economic boffins didn’t see this happen. I might have an excuse as I have no economic degree, but they do not. And that needs to come out into the light. The global news is so whoring for Digital Dollars, they will side with the wind in whatever direction it goes. That was part 3 and part 4 of this. As I see it a whole America is part of this and I mightn’t have seen it before, but I am on the page now. So as I see it Europe and the Commonwealth have only one course of action. Immediately ban all American goods, ban all American travel, and ban all American services. It is now that simple and when we suddenly now get Democratic voices complain, they are too late. They had the option to voice concerns over three weeks but we got nothing. So as I see it, the Commonwealth needs to stand side by side with Canada as it is the third target of America and we need to do this now. There is no tomorrow. America needs to learn what a warlike Commonwealth can bring to the table. I still think that a partnership with China is preferred, but I get that this is politically a hammer to heavy to wield. So this is the edge of the coin, not Ione side, not the other, but in balance with too many elements. 

So even I get insights into missed corners of data and there will be plenty of people saying I am wrong (as I usually hear) but look at the evidence, the media gave you all the evidence you needed. Have a great day, unless you are American then you can have a terrible day as far as I care.

As you question your media

That is what I am left with. You see I have always believed this setting to be truthful. I saw this direction as clear as anything on October 4th 2021 (yes, world animal day, in the story at https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/10/04/utter-insanity/) when I wrote ‘Utter Insanity’, so I have been on this track for some time and I made mention of this in 2013 when the pressure was not that high yet. So when I saw (at https://fortune.com/2025/10/14/america-going-broke-jpmorgan-david-kelly-debt-tariffs/) where we see ‘America is ‘going broke slowly’ says J.P. Morgan, as national debt balloons and tariff revenue looks shaky’ and this was given to us on October 14 2025 (a few years after I did the math) where we see “J.P. Morgan’s David Kelly warned this week that while America is “going broke” it’s doing so slowly enough that markets aren’t panicking yet. With U.S. national debt now topping $37.8 trillion and interest payments exceeding $1.2 trillion, Kelly said the debt-to-GDP ratio—already at 99.9%—will likely keep rising even under moderate growth. Despite tariff revenues and temporary deficit relief, he cautioned that political choices or a slowdown could quickly worsen the fiscal picture, urging investors to diversify away from U.S. assets before “going broke slowly” turns fast.” And the bigger story is “Why did the media never caught on?” There is the Wall Street Journal, several financial newspapers and several other media. They never woke up? How much are these people getting paid? And my story yesterday was that it is time for the USA to become an isolated state. So how long will this last when the screws are tightened by Europe and the Commonwealth? You see, in 2024, the U.S. federal government collected approximately $4.9 trillion in total revenue. Now consider that they have NEVER been able to keep their spending under control and at present almost a fourth of that will go towards interest payments. So how long until things start collapsing? When you cannot make budget now, you will make even less when you have to make due with only 75% of that money is available for all manners of costs. That is what is out there and the media is merely glancing over this. So who will ask them the hard questions? Because as it seems the media is shunning and failing their duty and leaving the people in unknown territory. But don’t believe me, I am merely a clever person, but as I see it David Kelly of J.P. Morgan might be a different story and whilst nearly all media is glancing over Venezuela and the oil needs that America has, will they also feign ignorance in case of Greenland? Or are they buying the National Security gist that is out there?

So whilst we are getting “Kelly outlined that while the economy is facing a barrage of issues (geopolitics, trade wars, changing immigration enforcement, and government shutdowns to name a few) one of the key longer-term issues is how the U.S. government is going to pay its bills.” And I like it, because I was right all along and I got to that point 4 years ago. So as it stands this moment is coming within the next three years and do you really think that America’s expansionism is about national security of are there people who are able to get on the train that it is merely about adjusting the maximum limit on the Credit Card of a nation named United States of America. And as we see it Greenland and Canada wants nothing of that. Greed it the smallest and weakest of sins and it never stops showing its hunger and people like PM Mark Carney knows this, which is why he is the perfect choice for Canada at this moment. I reckon that when the implosion of America becomes fact the Canadian people will get him his own statue and I already know the place, Berczy Park overlooking the Financial district of Toronto. Because if Canada gets out of this near unscathed a statue is the least Canada can do for him. 

So feel free to question your media and for all those people stating that USA can never go broke, consider that no nation ever had over 37 trillion in debt and the interest is slowly giving the USA a starting find of zero. Then there are the bonds that are maturing in 2026. So when and where are they maturing? Because that comes separate from the $1.2 trillion interest bill (according to JP Morgan) I personally thought it was closer to $1.5 trillion, but I am not an expert, so I will gladly give the field to JP Morgan on this. And the media remains silent on the hardships that America called out on itself. 

And there is a second setting (a speculative one) we are given “The economist wrote that in the near term casual speculators may have some reason for optimism. For example, he pointed to tariff revenues raking in significant sums ($31 billion in August, according to the White House) and recent estimates from the CBO and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget that deficits for fiscal year 2025 will total 6% of GDP, down from 6.3% last year.” My speculation is that some people, especially on Wall Street figure on the setting that as long as the ship looks good, they look good. It is a speculation by me and of course I could be incorrect, but that is how I see it. But the markers we see (like Venezuela, Canada and Greenland) gives me the idea that I am right. You see, to let the US credit card get more, they need to show more and Venezuela does the to some degree and Greenland and Canada are the closers of America need for greed and greed is the centre piece in all this, which is why I oppose the actions of America. In the second degree I am a Commonwealthian, so I stand with Canada and my Australian side also stands with Queen Mary Of Denmark who originally comes from Tasmania. So I have two reasons to not give America any consideration here. 

But in all this the overwhelming issue is the media who is shunning what should be reported and I reckon that several stakeholders are seemingly poisoning the well of information. I reckon that the need comes more and more in focus to list those people and shame them on the wall of visibility. Because there is only so much that these people are allowed to get away with, but that is merely me thinking this. Others might have a not so outspoken view on the matter. 

Have a great day.

The rage is real

I saw a message on BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g0zg974v1o) which made me a lot angrier than I am willing to admit to. A mere 8 hours ago we were told ‘‘We need Greenland’: Trump repeats threat to annex Danish territory’ and I get to the rage in a moment. But the media (the pussies they seemingly are) are merely ‘reporting’ on this. We are being told that “the US president said “we need Greenland from the standpoint of national security”.” We are also given “Trump has repeatedly raised the prospect of the semi-autonomous Danish territory becoming an annexed part of the US, citing its strategic location for defence purposes and mineral wealth.” It is the ‘mineral wealth’ that America needs and Wall Street can see the end of their markers, so they are keeping more quiet than a church mouse during service. We see that the Orange Bully Baboon of the Usurping States of Avarice is making his case, but the truth of the matter is, that truth that the reporters are never digging into is that America has a debt of 38 trillion (aka $38,000,000,000,000, I hope I got that part right) as such EVERY YEAR needs to come up with $1.5 trillion dollars (aka $1,500,000,000,000) in interest. That is before the pay off of the debt starts. That is plain ‘profit’ for the banks. So, remind me, what do you do to your child when he spends 90% of his annual allowance on day 1?
It doesn’t end well and now Europe and the Commonwealth have a nasty job, because America is not doing anything.

As I see it, the best setting is to impose isolationism on America. We have better travel destinations (Europe, UAE, Japan) we can impose more tariffs (the Orange Baboon apparently loves those) and we can stop buying all goods ‘made in America’, ask the Canadians how to do that. And we need to do this now, before that idiotic White House comes after Canada again. They think they got away with Venezuela and it is not over yet. As such the need for cash increases in America, as such they are now going after Danish territory. They are running out of time. And my thought are that Europe and the Commonwealth knock on the doors to China trying to make a better solution. When American goods are rejected, places like Huawei will readily open the doors. And don’t come to me with OpenAI and AI is the future. AI doesn’t exist yet and at present OpenAI is losing to Google, so there is that. 

Soon these larger players will have to chose between America and the rest of the world, the simplicity of 340,000,000 consumers versus 7,860,000,000 consumers. I reckon that these players will readily move their HQ to a European or Commonwealth location. And whilst the isolation begins America is now forced to go on an all out war or dwindle into irrelevancy.

That is not a bet I want to make, as such the Commonwealth and the EU need to arrange a setting through BRICS or directly with China to make this happen.

And for those who think I am overreacting, consider that President Trump said “Trump has claimed that making it part of the United States would serve American security interests due to its strategic location and its abundance of minerals critical to high-tech sectors.” And as the King of Denmark married an Australian, Australia is (as I personally see it) ready to go to war in defense of Denmark. And as that setting evolves, the Commonwealth will realise that they are not safe until America is dealt with. And I have no sympathy for America at present. I predicted this evolution in 2013. I will admit that I did not see America stealing its revenue, but that is merely on my own limited creativity. 

The setting is almost too clear, get rid of America or drown in their lack of spending control. I don’t think it is much of an equation to look at and in that second degree the EU and Commonwealth needs to start banning the American media as well. See how that goes when the advertisement money start falling short. I reckon that this might be the most effective of all bans. When the media can no longer get the digital dollars from outside of America, they will have to turn on America and that at present is not a good setting to be in. So whilst some laugh at Kate Miller and her map of Greenland doused in the American flag, some will see the danger of this and I reckon that several parties are already in contact with Beijing at present (phone: +86 10 8562 2709)

So how is that a solution? Well as I see it, there is only China now to stop America and the world needs a safe space and China might solve that problem and this is only needed for about two years. Then Wall Street and the American economy dissolves into nothing and America becomes a place for money vultures. I reckon that places like the Smithsonian will auction off what they have to get by the first year, but after that the new interest invoice is due and there won’t be anything left.  This reminds me of a story about a salesperson wanting to avoid hell, so he promised the devil an annual increase of 100% souls of his monthly quota of 100 souls and the devil agreed. So the salesperson feels happy and he is returning to his old life, but that is where the other side of the coin comes into play. In year two he is due 2400 souls, year three 4800 souls and it goes on, but the devil is a decently patient soul, because the sales person would have to surrender 5 billion souls in 24 years, more than the population of the earth at that point. The moral of the story? Don’t ever make a deal with the devil. There is no way to win.

And as I see it, the banks work in the same way, hence the problem that Wall Street shows itself to be. So what deal was there to be had in that field? Nobody was looking there were they? So the rage is real, I cannot get a decent deal in my life and the bullies get it all, so I wonder what we were doing in the first place. Have a decent day today.

The setting we hope for

That is a given, we all hope that certain settings come to play and I am no different. Part of it is banked on settings that are realistic and then there are those that are not that realistic. Before I start with this, one little update. I made mention of a new movie that would scare the nasty cloth out of the NSA (GCHQ too) and I just gotten the first few scenes out of the way. It makes me happy, but now I realise that it is not going to be a two hour event. At present I’m sitting on the first part, but the continuing story will not be a lot more than a short film some define this as under 40 minutes (including credits), That is what I am looking at. Perhaps a TV film? It wouldn’t be much longer and lets be clear. If you need two hours to scare the pants out of the NSA, your not doing a particular good job, but I might be wrong. So the script will be ready a lot sooner than I bargained for. 

So back to the matter at hand. Realistically the employment game is definitely changing because (at https://www.theregister.com/2025/12/23/oracles_new_aienhanced_support_portal/) we get told that ‘Oracle’s new AI-enhanced support portal leaves users fuming’ which was released just before Christmas, so I missed out on this initially, but we are given “Oracle’s new AI-powered support portal is frustrating customers and support engineers who are struggling to find the basics, such as old tickets, links to database patch programs and release schedules for current databases.” It works for me as I have worked my whole life in customer service and technical support. As such it seems my streak of bad luck is ending and when a company like Oracle gets it wrong, there is not much hope that the others are fairing better, which would work out well for me.

I miss customer service and I remember when I was ‘made redundant’ all whilst others were saying that the new technologies were making my job obsolete. And I have reason to smile. When I am shown “Greg Parikh, Oracle veep for information development and operations, said in a blog post that the MOS portal offers new features, including AI-powered interactions, streamlined navigation, improved search capabilities, and enhanced knowledge access.” And as I see it, those who live according to the sweet spot of cheap revenue now see that others aren’t having much luck either and they need to consider their sales track and how they can salvage what can be salvaged and now it turns out that they will need manpower as the most defining resource and that is good news for me. And as I see it (in case of Oracle) that looking at “Users pointed out IDs had completely changed, such that searching for 888.1 — the Primary Note for Database Proactive Patch Program — or 555.1 — database 19c Recommended One-off patches returns error message KA912 as the top result. “Links to other documents, which still reference the old IDs, are currently failing for me,” one user said.” Gives the indication that their knowledge base isn’t doing any better and if the programmers cannot make it work, their manpower setting will drastically change and this is just Oracle. As I see it, there are hundreds more firms who have that very same escalating problem, as such I expect that places like ADNOC (Abu Dhabi) might soon require their own corporate service division and their own technical support making short work of the available resources. I reckon that this works out nicely for me. 

So we have the realistic settings, and the dreamy station of a new movie, or at least whilst I am still applying for jobs, it will have to do and it keeps my but this creativity high, an undervalued ability in customer service. But this is merely one setting. Is it that bad? Well you judge, but a little over a year ago we were given ‘16 technical support tools to look out for in 2025’ (source:outsource accelerator) and some do work, but if didn’t grab the right one, the setting is a precautious one. Do you switch and take that chance or reinvest in your own knowledge base and that setting is dangerous, because you could lose a lot more than you bargained for. So whilst some went into combinations of SaaS, Paas or IaaS, your customers are in a tight setting where they demand service or they walk. Larger firms have even a more robust setting and in this age of fake AI, revenue lost is a large setting of shareholders giving up on you. That is the upside for me and as I see it, my time is not worth its weight in gold. 

So whilst we are given ‘IBM Is Laying Off Thousands of Employees as Its AI Business Surges’ they are also cutting a single digit percentage which in case of their 270,000-person global workforce which implies that up to 25,000 people are being laid off. Now consider where they are and that is not a given, but technical support requires certain people to stay in place and when that is messed with nearly anything can go wrong. Now IBM and Oracle are two of the big boys and they wold have their ships in place. And in that setting we see the Register giving us the setting above. 

So, who else and how much is being slid down the pipeline because some people think of their trolley and forget that other trolleys require assistance. It is in that setting that I think that the larger players need to hold one and rehire their old staff a lot faster before that knowledge goes somewhere else and in both these settings I get to win a better place in the work atmosphere.

Am I right? Am I wrong?

That is usually the question, but I personally believe that I am right because I never expected a player like Oracle getting that part wrong, as such things are looking up to the people who worked their lifetime in Technical Support and Customer Care. Even if it goes more towards a player like Zendesk. The knowledge that they have requires expansion because that knowledge is about to go the way of the Dodo. In other views, they are not the only one and the one who has the most diverse software takes over the others who are lacking. And as I see it, these systems are not enabling systems. They take it all and that is fine, but when we see the kind of failures that Oracle is showing the world, we see a growing set of barriers that could (merely a could here) define the needs for the next decade because all these cost crunchers require AI (which does not yet exist) and now that they are getting nervous, they need to concentrate on what works and what is merely bling for show. As such I feel vindicated is probably the best word. My knowledge is about to get a value upgrade, so I start 2026 feeling rather happy. And of course I could be wrong and I need to consider other venues. Time will tell.

Does J stand for Jezebel?

That might be the question that I have, but I reckon it is not likely the question you have. You will think that J stands for John, like the book of John and many other references. But hear me out. I have always believed that doing the right thing for the wrong reason transform the setting to a corrupting one. And we should always avoid corrupting the ones we hail as important. I don’t have the lowdown on President Nicolás Maduro, some say he is vile, corrupt and many other things. I do not disagree. I merely do not know. I never stood still on Venezuela until President Trump attacked it, captured its tankers and a few other means of using planes to shoot down speed boats. The setting is an unnatural one. We cannot believe what the White House press corps tells us, it has gone that far at present and I reckon that at least two succeeding presidents will have to clean the mess this president is likely leaving behind. I believe that the setting of Horizon Forbidden West is a much more peaceful life, no matter how little time we have left. 

So that actions of President Trump should be seen, no matter how nice he plays it, as actions of a corrupting nature. He is out to get the oil. As I see it America is that broke at present and he isn’t even hiding parts of this. As we get told “US oil giants have so far remained silent on Donald Trump’s claim that they are primed to spend “billions and billions of dollars” rebuilding the Venezuelan oil industry following the ouster of Nicolás Maduro.” (Source: the Guardian) We heard earlier “President Donald Trump says the US will ‘take back’ Venezuela’s oil, arguing it should be used to reimburse Washington for past spending. According to Trump, the US will ‘run’ Venezuela after having seized President Nicolas Maduro and taken him to New York.” So, where does ‘Take Back’ come into play? What evidence is there? We are given “According to a 2009 US report, 90% of US cocaine is sourced from Colombia, with Venezuela and the Caribbean accounting for around 10% of US-destined cocaine trans-shipments in 2010. Another significant route is directed to export cocaine, marijuana and other illegal drugs via direct sea shipments from Venezuela to Europe, with half of all direct shipments to Europe between 2006 and 2008 originating in Venezuela. For decades, Venezuela has been major transit hub for cocaine trafficking, but had not been a major producer of cocaine until the 2010s.” (Sources: United Nations, World Drug report 2010). All this whilst President Trump its pardoning drug dealers? No, this was about the oil they have and a secondary evidence I call into fact that there are no armies invading Colombia, it has no oil. When actions are this blatantly transparent, we need to fear the inactions of the United Nations who hammers Israel anytime chance it gets, no matter how unwarranted it is. 

A mere 9 hours ago, ABC gave us ‘The Venezuela strike sets a new low for the world order — even by Donald Trump’s standards’ where awe are given ““This was one of the most stunning, effective, and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history,” he told a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. But even in a world that has grown accustomed to a cavalier attitude toward international law from Mr Trump, the move’s blatant disregard for its strictures stunned political leaders and commentators around the world.” As well as “To be fair, none of the analysis in recent months of what the US might do as it ramped up its threats to Venezuela and Mr Maduro contemplated the possibility of the effective abduction of the authoritarian leader.” And it comes with “Mr Starmer was at pains to distance the UK from the operation and refused to say whether he believed it complied with international law.” We see another example where socialists are decidingly siding with the ‘pussy response’ as such as I see it, only liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney has any decent spinal cord in this. 

In addition the Australian Financial Report (at https://www.afr.com/policy/foreign-affairs/trump-has-no-idea-what-he-s-getting-into-in-venezuela-20260104-p5nrgb) gives us ‘Trump has no idea what he’s getting into in Venezuela’ an opinion piece, because as I see it, the media at large is playing the pussy card as much as they can. It came with the additional “It was also the stuff of spectacle: “I watched it literally like I was watching a television show,” Trump told reporters. Cubans and Danes in Greenland will worry they might provide the next episode.” I get it, the world worries, because if that happens, it boils down to America proclaiming war on Europe, that is how I see it. Yet in light of their diminishing banking setting I reckon that America will drain Venezuelan oil for the next two years. 

It is an unsettling setting. We cannot rely on the media to the larger extent and now America has become worse than Russia is, that is the reality that the Commonwealth has to look out for and in the backdrop China is smiling, because if they get the EU and the Commonwealth to sing the China sone, America ends up being isolated nearly completely. Commerce, Tourism and Technology is likely to end really quick. Is this what will happen? I cannot say, but the likelihood of the EU and the Commonwealth seeking shelter against this American setting is massively likely, but will they merely rely on each other, or will they seek a partnership with China? There is no data to provide an answer and this has never happened, so this version of AI is globally uncertain, it never have trained data of this extent before, so it will not know. It will merely guess at the behest of the programmer. Do you think that will be a wise decision?

Your guess is as good as mine. Have a great day today.

The other channel

That was in my mind when I was rewatching Teen Wolf today. What as a funny movie in 1985 became a stellar TV series with its much darker supernatural vibe was an amazing achievement and I was thinking that Europe has had its own successes in the timeframe of 70’s to 90’s. There was a lot of American series, but they have had some local successes and that is the price that Pinewood Toronto Studios or Canadian Broadcasting Centre (CBC Studios), there is the idea that Bardel Entertainment or Mercury Filmworks could translate some of this to Cartoons with a Canadian twist to it. 

There are legions of options, but in the trend of Canada becoming more and more independent of America, I have been twisting my brain on how to do that. I was considering giving them my first TV serious, but it was written to an Islamic public, so it might not apply to any Canadian studio unless the stream to either Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Indonesia. The setting bares thought, but that might be for later. At this point I am looking to what we can do now.

The Netherlands had Q&Q (70’s) about a young photography enthusiast and as he falls the photo takes a picture and when the develops the film the snapped picture is a blurry picture of a man seemingly dead. Optionally that could take place in Biidaasige Park (a speculation I am making) and that is before you look at TV series in Sweden, Germany, Denmark, France and a few other places. I reckon that the French series might get rewritten for Grandé Studios. I merely wonder if this was done already, or was there never a need for this? But as the appeal for America is waning and whilst they are eager to export, Canada needs an alternative and whilst Canada makes great TV, the idea to cater to itself has of course a few benefits and the appeal that they unite a lot more closer to the EU will have a few benefits too. And as the options are given a lot more considerations. The idea of Canadian TV emerging with additional materials that is devoid of American interference, but that might merely be my idea of true independence. 

A setting that bares thought, because there are plenty of Canadian that are clever (besides Ryan Reynolds who is utterly bonkers) but until they realise that we are on their side (mostly those in the Commonwealth) we need to give the idea and bring the ideas that could propel them further, especially without America, as it is more intent to thwart their bankruptcy be accusing Venezuela for Drugs offenses, whilst they merely want the oil Venezuela has. It might be my assumption, but no one in the American administration gives clear explanation and some of it comes across as utter BS (that what makes the grass grow in Texas). The setting requires the rest of the world to isolate America. It is not something I would suggest, but it comes down to that at present, especially when they are still going after Greenland and optionally Canada too. 

As such the setting I am having is how could I help? And my creativity went haywire. I designed a game (which I published earlier in my blog) and I am considering a few more options, but I halted at TV, because I never considered it before. And I have three scripts that could help (when they are completed) and I have something new on the route as well, merely one was done, but it was for an Islamic audience. So as an idea I grabbed to the old IP that is decades old. It might revitalize TV and give a few other options for IP registration and optional rewrite. That could lead to Canada exporting TV series as well. But that would be for another day.

So whilst we turn to another channel, we need to see that Canada might become that channel and that needs to be invoked with creativity out of all other directions, not just mine, but from Europe and the rest of the Commonwealth as well. We need to support our Canadian brother, at least that is my personal believe and when we create that setting, we all avoid a larger pressure from America and Hollywood. A simple bonus setting we are all entitled to. But feel free to disagree with me on this, I reckon Canadians won’t.
