Intertwinning reminiscence

That happens and for kms it was a blend of a few things as I was watching the fantastic beasts movies in 4k. First of, I came up with the idea for actual giggle waters years ago. I saw it in the first FB movie and I was wondering how to do that (I have no degree in molecular biology) and according to my brain, I solved the solution (to put a pun forward) and I wrote about it in my blog around the time the movie was out. Then I came up with the notion of a printable display and it was regardless of dimensions. From there we went on, but I was unsettling to say the least. I was in some IT University, in one building the shape of a cube had at least 7 floors, but the top 5 floors were the issue, they were all used by PHD students, they all had their own mainframe and there were 4 mainframes in every floor, I reckon that several teams per mainframe (it only makes sense) but the floors were the conundrum, I drew the floor below.

I reckon there was some artistic reason for that, optionally it was to make sure that every floor had decent air-conditioning, but the setting was the space, these were roughly 7 by 7 meter floors the floors had open spaces in the floor and there were two winding staircases per floor, they went all the way to the ground floor, I reckon that every floor has a door getting to elevators, but I do not recall them, it is the only reason these triangles in the corner make sense, but there were no railing and no visible bridges to the triangle parts. I have no idea, but there was one server that had a large decal of the crest of Hufflepuff on its side. I reckon that this was intentional. I remember looking for something on that server, but it was vague and I cannot recall what I saw. The shape of the room is all I can recall, So I am trying to get back to the reminiscence part of the story. There was the giggle water and the printable display. There was something else, It was a third thing I came up with and it was not linked to the Harry Potter movies, it was linked to the books. You see, several years ago, I came up with an advertising idea for places like Monaco, a setting you can watch through glasses and mobiles, but the idea was done through QCodes. The idea was to have a QCode in a jewelry shop and the mobile would show you that ring or bracelet and when you put your hand under the lens, the phone would combine the two and voila, there was an image of that ring on your hand. As I saw it, it had great appeal to the tourists and as there was no interactions with the actual ring (or bracelet) there was no need for actual security on alert and when this is done once a month (or week) the push for advertising goes away as there will be scores of influencers doing the advertising for you, so if there are 200 million content creators and 68% is female (I think we can go to a naughty 69%) this gives the world 138 million advertisers and when in Monaco, everyone becomes an advertiser. As such I saw the setting that we could either pay for advertising or let the influencers do it for us and that is why I came up with the idea. Actually the origin of that idea came to me for public interest advertisement settings. When I thought about the malls (I used the Eaton centre as an example) the idea could be stretched to a newer level and I came up with some additional materials, but now we get back to the concept. What if the QCode gives us a flippable image of 3-5 pages of a book? And the publisher has that in control, they decide what pages are used and the people who scan that code suddenly have direct access to those 3-5 pages and if it is stored in a central server, the codes will only unlock that book and these pages for a certain amount of time, decided by the publisher. I know it is not fool proof, but it is merely 3-5 pages and when did you last see meaningful advertising in (or around) a bookstore? That was the idea that was bugging me, the idea is sound and it has a few connecting ideas next to all this, because the stage was created (during Covid) that the malls are empty and even now, malls do not have the pressing population it used to have, as such the need for stronger interaction remains and only engagement will push people back into malls. And yes, there might be plenty of wannabe influencers there too, but does it hurt to hand them the goods to make something of themselves? Let the people do the walking for you and as that drives down the cost of advertising there is a larger need. So whilst I gave the world a solution based in Monaco, the idea would be easily transferable to Los Angeles, New York or London as such I felt that my idea had real potential and for some reason it came back to me and ‘haunted’ me in my sleep. I am merely puzzled with the building I saw, it actually ‘haunted’ me and I have no idea why. So whilst my mind set a larger stage around it, I merely wonder why I had those thoughts. 

Well, that’s it for me for now, Ill be back in around 15-20 hours for more. Have a great day

Danger zones ahead

That is the warning, but it is a warning against myself. You see, there are too many options and there is always that I spread myself too thin, this is usually not a good thing, so whilst I was walking passed some intimate shop called Honey Badger (or something like that) ideas are to mind, but I waved them off for now. I was still thinking of ‘Canada announces ‘dollar-for-dollar’ retaliatory tariffs on US as high as 50%’ (source: BBC), so how long does it take for a 50% surcharge on their power bill? Lets see: New York, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Washington, Montana and California rely for massive amounts on Canadian power. As such the setting for these states are going to suffer and it is all due to (as some call him) President Donald ‘the Joker’ Trump and they can thank him in person (he is usually around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW). So feel free to drop him a well wishing card as states will settle in smoldering heat, because they can no longer afford the energy, as such all data centers get culled to minimal power to relieve the anguish of the people and as such the revenue of the American IRS goes down further, which means that infrastructure gets hurt even more. And all that before the limits of reducing critical metals step in, the infra structure of the United States is about to take hit after hit. Did anyone explain that to that ‘toddler’ Jamieson Greer? This is what retaliation looks like and I have more in store, because any attack to Canada results in me handing over IP to the tourism centers of the world making the recuperation of the United Staes less and less likely. 

So whilst we consider the Honey Badger setting, I was considering that the support that the United States needs is faltering and whilst some consider trying to hurt the United States in different ways (like Iran) I know first hand what happens when support systems falter and when it is added to critical points, the system collapses in its near entirety and many of us have seen this in one form or another. You see, the French writer La Rochefoucauld states (something according to the lines of) “It is not enough for me to succeed, others must fail” he wrote it towards jealousy and the success or failure of peers. So, as the United States is so jealous and keeps on going with their 51st state settings and calling Canada Nasty, this sneaky Australian is looking at all the places that the system could be imploded and I have my own ways to succeed, because greed is not in my blood and whilst I give away IP, it is tainted IP, because the moment American corporations touch it, they will be seen as the lacking innovators (for example Microsoft), whilst it is open to the ones I gave it to. Even now I see some signs that defence IP is looking my way, they left it too long and now Canadian Defence contractors see the options they get getting into defence contracts with the Gulf states, pushing the United States out ands we see another slice of revenue gone. You might think that this is mere splashes of water and you are not wrong, but the splashes will reduce what is left in the cup and the current economy of the United States needs that cup to be 95% full and my settings are taking a minimum of 5% away from all that, so as I see it, the United States can no longer afford the bills it is getting. These might be small steps, but someone ones told me that one year of standing still is merely getting them nothing, whilst 365 to the power of 1.01 gets them 387.18 and whilst that is merely a small inkling, when you do this to a dozen settings like tourism, commerce, manufacturing and defence spending the equation alters and it alters x times 25.12 in results and now it makes a difference especially as that 95% cup is only for making payments and that is what I was after. You come after my brethren and sisters in Canada and I will show you the meaning off a desolate nightmare where your own banks shut you down. And that is before you realise that your manufacturing jobs are fulfilled by another nation. So whilst you tax Pakistani textiles, I already put a solution in place where they could set their textiles in the golf states and the Commonwealth and you would think that this $1.81 billion market is nothing, but when this all goes to non_USA locations whilst the new directions also reduce the import from the USA, that setting is gains from a small splash to a small wave reducing the cup revenue even further and that is the larger gan for the others, because many are now saying “We need the United States a lot less now” and that is the ballgame, because as infrastructure decreases the old setting of Bread and games which we got from the Roman poet Juvenal in his Satires (Satire X) around the late 1st and early 2nd century AD and it reflects on a political strategy of distracting a population from civic issues by providing basic food and superficial entertainment, so when these settings fall away, the American population starts focussing on the civic issues that Washington doesn’t want out in the open (apparently the Epstein files for one) so the White House is seemingly fueling that setting right from the start and a lot more besides that. All stages are plays and the entire population of the United States are becoming vested in what they see as right, because someone in Washington DC took their infrastructure away.

A setting that could be seen without too much imagination, it merely took a few steps to put this out into the limelight and as I have time and no pressing matters, I was happy to lend Canada a hand in exploring that setting. And as I see it, my methods have set a reverberation in all this, the Yale Budget lab stated “After the Supreme Court threw out Mr. Trump’s original tariff policy, the average effective tariff rate on U.S. imports fell to 7 percent, from 14 percent, according to the Yale Budget Lab. The rate has since risen to 11 percent.” (Source: Alternet) So, if there is a setting the 95% minimum just got wasted by tariffs I don’t think that it went from 100 to 89 (aka pig latin statistics) but there was an impact and I was nice enough hand IP to USA tourism competitors and even if that is a mere 1%-2%, that is what the competitors get in addition and whist some will say 2% is nothing, but these small waves are now starting other add up to a decent wave and whilst I saw the impact that Canada tourists had on the United States, I decided to make it falter to a much bigger degree and whilst I had the EU, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi as alternatives, so as the Washington Examiner gives us ‘New York, Florida, Nevada see biggest drops in tourism as Canadians boycott the US’ what is the result when more nations are included in that boycott? The EU, Muslim populations are all looking towards the gulf states, pure losses in several degrees for the United States. It all ads up and created more and more powerful waves in that glass of water, so drip, drip, drip less water in that glass (a sneaky way to state Dividend Reinvestment Plan) and soon there isn’t enough to even fuel some Ponzi scheme and that is when the alerts will start ringing. And it is getting close to that now (as I personally see it). 

So as we see that gains are made in small steps, decreases are also in small step, but the United States has no leverage and not degrees of freedom to stop those splashes and it soon will be the last they ever saw and they could have averted that, they merely should have treated Canada decently and fairly, but not to fret, Canada will take over Washington State, Montana and Minnesota and call them the provinces of Skokomish, Cheyenne and Sioux Province and from there Canada will add more and more so whilst we might have ‘some misgivings’ about this current administration, it has a unique setting, it will be the first administration that made the United States a mere 47 states, but I reckon that they can get a commercial upside here, all those flags now need three stars less, as such they will get a massive new order, because some set the revenue to approximately 150 million American flags, I reckon that year they will triple that sales (if they have the textiles to make them). 

So whilst some will debate and judge my sense of humour, Trump started this with the 51st state jokes, I merely found an alternative way to set this in a new light. So have a great day all.

If his lips are moving

It was the first thing I considered. You see, I saw an article and it made my blood boil, but a few seconds later I was considering some of the options that this could have been enabled through ruses. So what gives?

The article that pushed me was ‘Trump says Canada wants ‘benefits’ of being US state after trade talks collapse’ (source: BBC) where we see “US President Donald Trump has said Canada wants “the benefits of being a state, without being one” after trade talks between the two countries collapsed late on Friday. The breakdown of negotiations triggered new 50% US tariffs on a range of Canadian goods. Trump also said American farmers had been charged “massive amounts of Tariffs” for years.” What I think happened is that Prime Minister Carney pulled the deal and he could have said “What is even the benefit of being in a partnership without having an actual partner?” Or something to that effect and as we see the Guardian giving us “Carney, whose willingness to stand up to Trump has made him popular in Canada, has said that “America has changed,” and that the two countries would not return to their old relationship. The Canadian public has also been incensed by US policy towards their country, particularly Trump’s comments about turning Canada into the 51st US state. A petition to expel the US ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, has collected about 248,000 signatures, accusing him of normalising the notion of the US annexing Canada.” As such we now see that a trade war is in effect between our friends in Canada and that place where idiots reside (a place between Canada and Mexico) and it is time that we openly support our brethren (sisters too) in Canada. 

And as the Guardian is also giving us ‘The lesson from Canada’s collapsed trade talks with the US: negotiation may be futile’ where we see “Breakdown shows Washington now prioritises its own interests over any semblance of shared economic ground”, which is weird as I have stated this for some time and the actions of ‘America First’ gives that same notion and the forced attempts of annexing Canada, Greenland, Venezuela and recently the claim ‘Trump says he views strait of Hormuz as ‘American territory’’ (source: the Guardian) almost 3 days ago, I’ll say that the setting of America First has taken a massive turn for the worse. And I say it is time for the leaders of the Commonwealth to come out clearly and loudly saying that they support Prime Minister Carney in every way possible. I saw options to put the screws onto President Trump by all the Commonwealth parties switching from the United States to Canada for delivery for as much as possible and if booze is so under attack through Canada (with almost 35 million people) consider what the Commonwealth could do with 2.7 billion and optional support of the EU, if we all cancel whatever booze contracts we have, the United States loses its alcohol empire, or merely sell it to the United States, which won’t hold up for long at present. And that is merely the beginning because other news (unconfirmed) is that places like Disney is in trouble. There were reports that Disney raised prices on several settings for the second time and people were ‘complaining’ that food is becoming too expensive, there were mentions that the tourists were bringing their own food and Disney had also shedded staff members and we see “Disney is executing multiple waves of layoffs in 2026, cutting hundreds to thousands of roles across major divisions like Marvel, Pixar, ESPN, and Lucasfilm as part of an ongoing cost-containment strategy” (source: Fox 4 Dallas) which implies that as tourism is in danger in the United States, things are considerably worse then I thought. The so called ‘everything is honky dory’ is a little less secure. As such the bullying tactic of President Trump makes a lot more sense now. I made several reports on the United States being almost broke and now I see that this is closer to the mark then even I considered. So when we see the quote in the Guardian “Jamieson Greer, the US trade representative, has said the US was compelled to act after a year of retaliatory measures by Canada. He told Fox & Friends Weekend: “We’ve said enough and so we’ve taken counter-measures. Our interest is in protecting American workers and protecting American supply chains.” Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, estimated that 40% of small Canadian exporters will be directly hit by the US tariffs, and that nearly one-third expect their revenues will drop by 50% or more as a result.” And whilst this dumbo named Greer keeps on making mention of ‘retaliatory measures’ can we please clearly define his BS by repeating that they started calling Canada the 51st state again and again and the Canadians were fed up with this and decided to shun American booze and goods. And as a Commonwealthian I fully support their actions and I believe it is mandatory for all Commonwealthians to come together and support Canada in any way we can, assistance from the EU would be appreciated in this. I think they have had enough of the bully in the White House and as such they might consider the very same settings I have considered. As tourism dies down, the economic impact on the United States goes from bad to worse. Still there is more, Al Jazeera (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/8/22/iran-war-live-trump-says-tehran-not-ready-to-make-right-deal-to-end-war) gives us ‘Tehran says US sanctions ‘declaration of war’ on all nations’ where we see “US Energy Secretary Chris Wright has hailed the US’s oil and gas production as global energy remains strained due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. “American oil and gas workers have driven production to an all-time high, making the US the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas,” said Wright in a post on X. Earlier, Wright also claimed the US military helped ship more than 15 million barrels of oil and other products out of the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday this week.” Why is this important? Because the United States was reliant on ‘cheap oil from the Middle East to offset the sales and now the United States needs this oil a lot more than ever before, as such the oil revenue is down. This American Administration is all about the good news, not the counter balance of these events and that only strengthens the others to support Canada in these times. And whilst the Irish times (at https://www.irishtimes.com/world/canada/2026/08/23/we-got-attacked-canada-to-retaliate-after-trump-imposes-50-tariffs/) gives us ‘‘We got attacked’: Canada to retaliate after Trump imposes 50% tariffs’ with the text “Canada will impose tariffs on some US goods in retaliation for 50 per cent ‌levies on Canadian products, prime minister Mark Carney said on Saturday, after trade talks collapsed between the two neighbours.

The “dollar for dollar” tariffs on imports of US steel, electronics and other products, to take effect on September 8th, mark a further worsening of relations between the long-time allies and major trading partners. The two countries failed to reach a trade deal late on Friday, with each side blaming the other for derailing three days of intensive negotiations. The breakdown complicates the future of a US-Mexico-Canada free-trade pact.” As well as “Carney is one of the few global leaders to retaliate against US tariffs ‌and has pledged to forge new trade and military alliances, despite Canada’s dependence on the United States for nearly 70 per cent of its exports.

US trade representative Jamieson Greer called the breakdown “a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States,” saying no new talks were planned with Canada.

“We’re moving forward with measures that respond to Canadian retaliation,” Greer told Fox News. “They’ve always had the best deal, and they still would have an even better deal, but they didn’t want that.”” I personally believe that Jamieson Greer is the kind of person we all need to take under a magnifying glass after President Trump loses the midterms and those who went along with this charade (like Ambassador Pete Hoekstra) and in all this, I reckon that the State Department of the United States will have a sweet time getting anyone to trust them in the near future. But all this seems to point towards the biggest default in human history, because when this comes to blows, whomever trusted this president to put money in a debt that is not seeing any resolution will likely lose that money and there is a chance that they had it insured (like the setting they had in 2004) but that implies that insurance firms will lose whatever they had and this also implies that the United States is a very unwelcoming place for a long time. But not to fret, there is still the EU, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Japan and a few other places, so there are options for plenty of people and whilst the United States lose more and more, we could also redirect advertising, because that market is generating over $1 trillion a year, but in that new setting, what were the big winners named Alphabet (Google), Meta, and Amazon capture over half of all global advertising spend is now going to new places. It could still involve them but now from the Commonwealth and the EU, likely taxed to a far degree, as such I saw markets that the United States could lose, in the size setting of $300,000,000 to $450,000,000 per year, as such the United States will amazingly likely not be able to pay next year interest. And should these players allow China to inter their settings, the damage merely increases for the United States. 

So I started this with an expression “If his lips are moving, he is lying” And what gives me that setting? Well, over 100 general assertions that the U.S. defeated Iran, at least 38 claims that a final deal or resolution was imminent, and numerous intermittent assertions that the military phase ended within the initial hours or weeks of the engagement gives me the first right and the press has not been setting that premise correctly, merely sitting on the sidelines, trying to cash in on the digital dollars and that is about to go sideways in a few ways. Still, there is an option where I am wrong, but I don’t think so, the news is getting out more and more and the parties who should have intervened never did, as such there are several sides ‘overlooked’ and that is where I push the buttons, so think of this what you will and feel free to disagree with me, but wasn’t the fact that the US is so set on their booze getting imported into Canada, whilst placing limitations on Canada’s sovereign right to pursue and sign trade agreements with other international countries wasn’t a decent giveaway? When things are that outspoken, there is decent evidence that the United States is broke beyond belief and the last round bell sounded a few days ago. But that is merely my view on the matter. Have a great day and I wish Canadians all the strength that they can muster in these hard times.

The pointless choice

That is what I see and that is what I believe is not the issue at hand. So as Pushsquare is giving us  ‘Furious PS5 Players Unplug Their Consoles in Protest as Blackout Gets Underway’ and I have seen this setting before. Now ask yourself “Sony already got their revenue by selling you your Playstation n, so why keep it switched off?” I agree that something must be done, but why do this? Hurting their revenue down the line makes more sense as I see it. So what is to be done? I might think that stopping sales of the PS6 makes more sense, that is until they reinstate physical media. So when we get “The blackout – technically scheduled to start at 7pm local time, but already being observed by many participants – is designed to reduce the Japanese giant’s active users, a key performance metric for the company. Campaigners suggest participants should keep their consoles unplugged from today through 30th August as a minimum. That means no logins, no gaming, and certainly no spending through the PS Store.” As such no spending makes sense, but no logins and no gaming make no sense. I could get along with these two when there is an alternative (like my Nintendo Switch) so there is a partial setting of pressuring Sony and I am on board because the pressures that they are giving to millions of rural gamers. They often lack the funds to play larger releases and they are driven to 2nd hand sales as are metro gamers where the pressures of life are surrounding them and I never forgot the PS4 presentation where Kaz Hirai gave a presentation on how a Sony game disc was given to the person next to him. It was the Sony way to debunk Microsoft (always online) setting that we saw and it was a hidden pun towards the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and I thought it was brilliant and now they attack the rural gamers who have as little as they have by taking physical media away? I was not a fan, they could have opted by raising prices on physical media by $10 (against dropping prices for online media) but that comes with additional pressures too, but it would have made a difference to the rural players. And the metro players that also have a lack of funds would still have an option, but no, removing physical media was their way of dealing with this? I as not impressed and no fan of the acts of Sony, and to leave my PS5 off? No Netflix, No YouTube, seems a little harsh to me and I could postpone my PS6 when it comes to pass and that is an option that I might do, but I feel safe to give the conjecture that Sony will see the error on their way soon enough, because as I see it, Nintendo will rake in the winnings on this setting. I feel that this would add to the pain of Sony. When 5%-25% abandons the setting of the PS6 in favour of the Nintendo Switch 2 would make plenty of sense and that is definitely an option I might go for. There is nothing like the revenue loss that this brings (ask Microsoft) as others might go from a decent 2nd place being degraded to a 5th place, the wooden spoon place. They could revert to giving no results (as they claim they are meaning less) but in the boardrooms the orchestrators of that setting will get decently fried in the snake oil they sold as a solution, but that might merely my  view on the matter. 

So whilst many are blaming the AI settings of their prices skyrocketing (which I am no real fan of either), but to some extent I understand that parts of a console (like memory) would become more expensive. And it will hit all over the place and until these artificial boom settings that AI brings there is no real solution, because I agree that you can never bet against a boom, I merely watch from the sidelines so I can say “Told you so”, which is a simpler and just as satisfying setting, because these wannabes giving everyone ‘their’ version of an excuse is their way of making some ‘it was more complex than  figured, but I got it partially correct’ excuse and by placing my issues in my blog I can always revert to “I gave you the setting months ago” which is still partially nice (for me) but concerning Sony, we are left with pointless choices and I feel that hurting them be denying them the PS6 revenue and handing my money to Nintendo for a Switch 2 is a much better choice. And the setting that Saudi Arabia could go towards a Console seating is not going away and that is merely the optional alternative choice. In all this there is a realistic setting that Sony loses a partial loss of the revenue pie and that hurts them more than anything else and some might evert to the Steam Deck, which is still a loss for Sony and optionally a less pointless choice, but that is merely my view on the matter.

And as I am watching a Yas Mall walkthrough on YouTube (on my PS5), there are a few things that matter. You see, this could also be done on a Nintendo Switch 2, the only thing the Switch 2 is lacking is a decent Netflix port and they might want to make a case of that and soon, optionally Disney plus as well. As I see it, this could enable a lot more people considering the Switch 2 as a worthy replacement for their Sony time and optionally stop the future development of Sony. And when they revert back to physical media we could always get this system the next financial wave time. In this everyone (mostly Nintendo) wins in the meantime and that is merely my point of view. But the setting of pointless actions is deflating my ego even more than doing nothing and leaving my PS5 collecting dust is seemingly empty, Sony got their revenue from me. Still not buying anything form their store makes sense, it hurts their revenue and that is not a bad thing. So as it is 03:15 it is time to sign off and looking at the Yas Mall walkthrough just now passing the Texas Roadhouse, my stomach is growling like an angry bobcat, time to see what the fridge has to quiet that rascal down. Have a great day you all.

Passing the buck

That is what I saw yesterday, people (I reckon wannabe influencers) are now starting to head towards the setting that AI is the root of all that is evil (apart from that AI being fake, it is not responsible for anything), but as we see the ‘amount’ of so called evidence pile up, you would get this idea. I even saw a reference to one of my own articles (with the wrong data and a reference to another story) added to that pile. So whilst these wannabe’s are not entirely wrong, they are merely adding the wrong quotes to the wrong pile. (They must have used some kind of fake AI). But in the article ‘And Grok ploughed on’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/11/27/and-grok-ploughed-on/) I made mention on November 27th 2025 “Check out the blog, none of those elements were mentioned there. As some tell us Grok is a generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) chatbot developed by xAI. So where is that AI program now? This is why I made mention in previous blogs that 2026 will be the year that the class actions will start.” And now we see (in various sources “AI-related class action filings are surging in 2026, driven by a sharp rise in investor securities lawsuits over market corrections, ongoing copyright and training data disputes against major tech platforms, and emerging product liability risks” (source: Norton Rose Fulbright) as well as “According to mid-year data from Cornerstone Research and Stanford Law School, federal securities class actions jumped significantly, with 15 AI-related filings recorded in the first half of 2026 alone—nearly matching the 16 total cases filed through the entirety of 2025” (source: CFO Dive). So as I see it, some are passing the buck and whilst there is a shift noticeable in several directions with the premise “Governments are reacting to ongoing friction; for instance, Australia announced intent to establish an Office of AI and legislate stronger artist/creator control over works used in AI training, while courts in the US navigate strict parameters around fair use and dataset destruction” As I see it, the United States wishes their American corporations to get the freedom of fair use (at the expense of anyone else) and others want to keep the IP of the artists and artisans intact. As I am in group two I feel happy that group one might end up with a peppered bill for yours truly (that would be me), but I am not holding my breath on that happening any day soon. And the gremlin in me would love the idea that I gave all my IP to China and see how the USA fights off that setting. I reckon that the Gremlin in me likes that (it will not like to optional fictive loss of revenue, but that is another fight all together).

What is fun is to see these wannabes blame a fictive AI, whilst the users of that fake AI have the larger blame here. But that it also the hidden trap. You see, someone said: “the starting of digital conditions is the beginning of the end. Soon these conditions change and after that the denial that this was ever the case starts” and I tend to agree with this person. We already saw several issues in gaming and a lot more in the business sector and Business Intelligence. The old premise from Emperor Augustus comes calling at that stage “If it isn’t written down, it does not exist” He said so around 25BC, which means that this setting was clear almost 2050 years ago. It seems a hard sell to hear some say “We didn’t think of that” or “It was a corporate policy” and whilst the useless waste more and more of our time, these settings will delve into the framework of too many systems. Which was exactly why I put all my IP online, there are too many settings where things are found out and whilst we accept that, it also means the my chance of financial greatness becomes a little trivial (to say the least). But I still believe that putting in front of everyone is the only way to guarantee your point of view. It is those wannabe’s that state “Just hand it to me, trust me. I’ll do right by you” betting it all on the roulette table is likely the only option for you (even thought the payout is lousy). But in all this I don’t gamble. I even have a setting where otter’s might win some, but the wannabes are likely to never end with one of my dimes. 

So whilst we now see that “The Disclosure Dollar Loss Index surged as companies over-promised on AI deployment, infrastructure, and data center capacities, causing sharp stock drops when growth hit roadblocks” (source: Cooley)  but here are different roadblocks too. You see, what some claim and what is proven are different settings. We might agree that all AI is bad, but that generalization is also dangerous. Because they could have added a book to their learning curve and whilst the ‘original designer’ forgot that the book in question made the coin tremble, the learning ability might have gotten through this setting in different ways and whilst the Training curve of the fake AI is not explored, because it becomes likely too hard or too convoluted, the mess is created by “All fake AI is evil” and that too is a wrongful generalization that has a deepening effect. So whilst we see ‘over-promised’ the setting is a little sweeter than that. So whilst generalization and wrongful verification comes to blows (which will happened) the investor is left out in the cold and when this happens more than once, the wells dry up fast (which is where I was in 2025, I basically saw this happen in my mind) and in all this verification and validation remains the big two that none of the (fake) AI firms have a handle on. And at present I haven’t seen anyone who is tackling these elements and whilst I still believe that the Epsilon (AI) co processor will optionally solve a lot of issues, there is no way to tell at present. So whilst some call this the Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the settings that current NPU’s and the future Epsilon processor have is a setting that allows trinary data to solve whatever binary cannot do and there is no real time track for that event to happen. Especially when it was decided (years ago) that binary was cheaper and the people behind that brainwave are (speculatively) merely accountants that went the technological setting. They know all about the costs of the setting, but reaping the rewards is also at a low, because they can’t see the benefit that the more expensive solution had and that is where these settings are, but that is merely my speculative view on the drawn stage.

So whilst I see options and benefits, it will likely fall on deaf ears and they are all gong the binary track, which at present is woven and interceded by over a dozen class cases in the first half of this year and at least as much for the second half as well. But we will see how that dollar moves from stage to stage, but regardless of that, even if you consider that the cases at present have settled for over $1.65 billion, how much comes from the investment amounts. How many are purged to be a near total loss? We might think that people like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and a few others can stand to lose this. But their retirement funds aren’t on the line and those who do will chance to all on some poker bet and risk losing a lot more and these settings should have been sure wins and they were not, this is the trap that no-one wishes to acknowledge  that it is in play. 

But that is just me, I am not the gambling type and I see too many passing the buck at present and whilst there is a agreeable setting of blaming these fake AI’s the clearer setting is that passing the buck was in the most inconvenient setting. Because if AI is so foolproof, how come that the houses are actively promoting the ’00’ option at these roulette tables? If it was a sure thing, we could all benefit, but the is not the case, is it?

Have a great day this day.

Where is the win?

That is where I find myself. Apart from some noise that I am getting that I am an ‘alarmist’, which is fair. People do not see what I see and they are (massively) over the moon that everything will be OK with the US of A. I do not share that vision, but it is fair that they have their views. I get the alarmist setting, yet I feel that I am correct. So when the debts get any bigger, what do you think will happen? The USA has not been able to keep any budget and that was before the interest payments had become this high. On October 4th 2021 I wrote “Utter Insanity” (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/10/04/utter-insanity/) where I iterated that the debt was 17 trillion in 2013, America more than doubled that in a decade. It is now 40 trillion, the interest as I see it also doubled and that is the killer in all this. So whilst people think that I am an alarmist regarding the Civil War. What do you think will happen as the interest gnaws on whatever the USA falls in revenue each year. In fiscal year 2025, the U.S. federal government collected $5.26 trillion in total revenue. Now consider that 22% of all that revenue goes to paying the interest of the debt. And they cannot budget at present (or for the last decade), so the debt is only getting worse. So (to be safe) as per October 2026 the budgets will need to be set back by at least 30%, one third less for infrastructure, 30% less for social services and 30% less for whatever payments are going out. It will decrease the USA into a third world nation as I see it. And as I see it, this administration is only making it worse, because as others are rejecting ‘these American values’ (Tariffs for one) there is highly likely an uprising on its way, because Americans don’t have a real luxury sandwich at present and it will get worse. A lot worse. So as I personally see it, it is a civil war in the making and as we see the news on so many issues (the reflecting pool as one example) a setting that gives an estimated $16 million and that is before all the repairs are done. So if people lose 30% of what they were able to collect and these issues keep on coming up, the resentment and animosity are merely increasing. Then we get the price of gas and a few other things, so the people are losing what they had and prices are higher overall. And this is on this administration. So the purview of a incoming civil war in not without foreseen cause. Do I like it? No, I don’t but unlike the media, I merely care about the facts and all this is adding up to a sliding ramp straight down into an abyss. 

And the rejection of other nations on what this administration has done is very real and the entire Iran setting is pushing all the other nations too and they are all looking for a safe way out, because America is no longer a trustworthy partner, especially as North Korea is heralded as whatever they want to call this. So then we see the False AI up to all kinds of settings and we could blame all kinds of people in all this, but the reality is that what is called AI is merely fake AI and there are more and more voices (and a lot higher educated than me) calling what some call as AI as unreal and fake. So this ‘golden age’ will be at least a decade away, but I think it is more like 2 decades. All whilst Microsoft reported that over 80% of Fortune 500 companies use active AI agents and expecting widespread industry adoption to reach 1.3 billion agents globally by 2028. Really? Where will they get the power? At present the USA is facing brownouts. The US statistics reported that over 12 months one in four households faces a brownout. So where is the energy coming from, because these servers require massive amounts of energy. So when you see these elements of revenue, energy and abilities all whilst reduced manpower is required. So as we are given “AI agents are increasingly linked to corporate job cuts, and in a recent viral experiment, an AI agent manager even recommended firing a human worker.” Yet this is not the end of the story, there is also a backlash “Studies show a high rate of employer regret after cutting staff for AI, with many companies lacking ready systems or rehiring humans later under different titles” as such there are several issues from this setting. The costings that these firms had on less costs, is now becoming a more troubled setting because their costs are becoming a lot higher. This implies (I am very driven to imply here) that people are hired at less pay, and I get that this is the setting they face, but that also makes the cost of living a lot higher and a less rewarding life comes from that. How far this implicated life gets to is anyones guess and I reckon that this will change the lifestyle of many people, fueling distrust and discomfort on that setting. As I see it, the USA will face a serious chance in life styles. What was ‘advertised’ in life style magazines in 2023 will no longer be a reality, not for at least a decade for most people and that fuels the resentment and optionally louder shouts towards what I call a ‘civil war’ and there is corroborating evidence to that. “Nearly 46% to 62% of U.S. households (representing roughly 90 million adults) struggle to make ends meet and cover basic expenses like housing, food, and healthcare. This financial strain extends well past traditional poverty definitions, deeply impacting the American middle class” (source: Brookings), so is my view on this impending civil war so far fetched? These 90 million are likely to double when the 30% limits are pressed on nearly everyone, optionally as early as Quarter 2 2027. So as these facts rolled over my eyelids, I saw the puzzles are they became interconnected. Which I described as connected clusters, what some call cliquing, a subset of clusters where every single cluster is directly connected to every other cluster in the collection. There is no real science for this, but anyone in Market Research, Data Analyses and Data Parsing can recognise this effect and issues like gas prices and grocery prices will hit all these clusters at the same time. So when we get that, and we get that tourism goes out of the USA (for reasons will written a few times over) and others are also trying to make ends meet and that resolves around more and more competition and as the debt is strangling the resources this will be making matters worse. 

You merely need to see the different sides on that same stage but for different countries and you see that things are not looking good for the USA. So as I see it, there is no win, not for anyone and whilst the Guardian was giving us “Donald Trump amassed an unprecedented financial windfall during his return to the White House, reporting over $2.2 billion in revenue in 2025 alone, more than triple his earnings from the previous year. The vast majority of these personal financial gains stemmed from cryptocurrency ventures, digital assets, and branded merchandise, drawing severe criticism and ethics concerns from watchdogs and lawmakers regarding conflicts of interest”, so when you see this and the rest of the population minus perhaps 50,000 and they all lose 30% of what they were entitled to and whilst infrastructure will collapse in several places, resentment will grow. How far it will grow is anyones guess. But I feel decently certain that crime statistics will spike soon enough and that will give another resentment, because at 30% less, there will be less police, less first responders as well and as I see it, it will be bad news on top of bad news on top of bad news. So I think I showed here a few part of what I saw all along. But I feel it was essential to do this. I don’t mind being called an alarmist, it might be fair, but I saw data that merely gave me this inkling of a possible reality. 

Time will tell if I was right or wrong, but the larger picture is that the media never got to this point. Why not? Were they not supposed to inform us of the dangers that were coming our way? Because these negative points might impact Americans first, but we are all headed for more stringent settings. The EU and the commonwealth as well. I merely need to find a way out anywhere where I could make a decent penny. Have a great day all and try to enjoy a nice cup of coffee today.

The outstanding question

That is where I man at present. And there is little evidence at present. Trump sycophants are hiding the truth from all of us. And we need to be careful, not for their sake, but for ours. When this comes to blow and it will, whatever we put in place now is going to be elementary in our survival ad I am not making some grand gesture or some empty veiled threat. This is due on us all. To set out survival in better terms The Commonwealth nations need to stand with Canada, it is a first setting and this might already be happening, but it is not an outspoken setting. The people need to know that we all stand with Canada. To set this in some reality you might understand. Some professor in Chicago stated “The United States is heading towards the greatest political defeat in Iran in history” he compared the setting in Iran towards the setting that Lyndon Johnson faced in Vietnam. The ramifications will be on all of us. But there is a way out. You see, when the Commonwealth nations, the EU and the gulf states combine forces we are decently isolated from the implosion that will come to the United States. I have said this before several time over the last decade. But this is not enough, there is a question that both the Commonwealth and the EU must entertain. A the EU is likely having to deal with Russian elements and Canada with the United States, we need extra insulation and it is my believe that China will be a strong insulator. Their technology and innovation will find its way (and to some degree already is to the Gulf States) but to ad the EU and the Commonwealth is a primary setting. So whilst the United States, Russia and Iran fight out what their best chances are, they can get to each others throats. I reckon that in this state Russia might now attack the United States as it needs a victory to hold over its people and the apple of the United States will be the sweetest victory, it is totally hollow but that is what it might take. 

So whilst the United States is burdened with $40,000,000,000,000 debt and an annual interest of over a trillion dollars, the United States will end up having less and less year after year and when the money is gone and when the social services it did have are depleted we will see a civil war erupt na dit will not be photographed by Kirsten Dunst. I reckon that the billionaires in the United States will evade towards Monaco and the UAE, but that is a mere presumption in this. These original captains of industry will walk away and optionally set their new headquarters in both the EU and the UAE. They all sever ties with the United States and will offer jobs in these two locations to the chosen few. At that point it will become a open shooting range Americans in Mexico and that wall was meant to keep people out, not in, so it will be a decent folly to see how that wall will matter. In the north, Canada will see an incursion of all kind of Americans and some will be granted access, but they will be few, the rest will end up fending for itself in the US of A. America was always heading for this, but as I see it President Trump escalated this by a lot. So, soon we will see the media taking a break from click baiting and giving us the real deal, but as I see it, it is already too late. So whilst Saudi Arabia and the UAE will see their media empires grown into the EU and Commonwealth more revenue will be lost to the USA. So whilst some give that there is a twinkle of hope, I actually do not see it. The American media was all about streaming membership and whilst some might have considered that, 2027 is when this ends and whilst these people would now thrown whatever it had to physical media (Disney, Amazon prime and to a lesser degree Netflix) there is a larger audience reacting that setting and there is an opening for the Streaming gulf states. This is a mere fraction, but the entire bill that is the United States is set towards fractions and whilst by themselves they seem small these fractions have intersections pulling others into this mess and overall it becomes a massive bill no longer being received from any of them. I used to say “Clusters are nice until they unite though other means”, it is a set of data and market research settings that only seemingly makes sense to people in that quarter. And we are about to see how that equates to real life (as I personally see it). So whilst I had an idea of what President Trump was aiming for when I sort of quoted “In confusion there is profit”, the opposing setting is that outspoken alliances are the way to stop this and as a Commonwealthian I say stand with Canada now, and outspoken so. Just as we took the voice to support Greenland. So as we show that we deny the United States anything they have no business in owning, we also reject the Russian grounds we see evolve and stand by the Ukraine in all this. With the Gulf States we are over 50% of the population and it stand to reason (for several reasons) to stand shoulder to shoulder with China, but that is a personal view I reckon that the Commonwealth and the EU needs to see where they go. Yet as I see it, China offers insulation for the USA and Russia all at the same time. So whilst the USA is getting chummy with North Korea, they will seen see that North Korea only cares for North Korea, as such the United States is likely to become a target for the newly grouped Russian puppets, but that is merely my view and I could be wrong. 

But overall, I have been right a whole lot more than I was wrong and I have over 4100 articles in this blog stating these views, I have corroborating evidence. 

So the outstanding question becomes where do you stand? I get that you might stand with the United States, just be clear on what that future has in mind and whilst more and more see that the ‘Golden age of AI’ is not coming any day soon, no matter what they say. You need to see where you might want to consider your path to personal happiness takes you, because that is still the number one setting we all adhere to. You see, that golden age comes with costs “The economic costs of artificial intelligence encompass massive infrastructure investments, soaring energy demands, and complex labor market shifts where running specialized AI agents can rival or exceed the cost of human work” and as I see it, the United States can no longer afford to foot that bill. So whilst we see “Microsoft projects global enterprise deployment figures to scale toward 1.3 billion agents” and now the small realistic setting, What happens when the power issues erupt? Because that is merely a year away and these agents cannot work without power and a person can mildly survive without a fan and a fridge. Did anyone consider that? So how many servers does it take to ‘fuel’ 1,300,000,000 AI agents? So when the brownout comes where does that revenue end? So as we see that localized power disruptions and blackouts affect tens of millions of Americans annually. What happens then? So, as the U.S. Census Bureau show that roughly 1 in 4 households gets a brownout every 12 months. What happens when your power requirements aren’t met? Wouldn’t a salesperson or a customer care person have been a better way? All these clustered settings and they meet in several ways and now the drop in revenue come very real and still, every year the over 1 trillion in interest payments are due. 

So you tell me, why didn’t the media give you this? Because there are plenty of people more clever than me, so why didn’t they inform you? I know of a few people who did, but I got there earlier. So, what stopped them? Have a great day all. I am on route to kill me a few Uruk Hai culprits this morning.

Representing Mr Morningstar

That is the setting I see and it is the one I have been bound to. As Lavrinthi of Tartarus, I have been ‘summoned’ to represent a certain mr. Morningstar in docket 0520260819-666/05 in this to unravel the settings of what is seen as sourced by the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly5r7vr7q1o) where we learn ‘Meta hooked children on Facebook and Instagram, US court hears’ and the evidence presented (as I have seen it, is rather flimsy) but to unravel this I need to ask questions. So whilst some will argue that this is on Megan O’Neill, a lead attorney for California. I merely giggle, soon she’ll be dead and she becomes food for the pits of tartarus. She gets a chance to prove herself gains peers and that is when the dual opportunity ends. The first choice will be the Biden, the trident or the the xiphos and shield A rule my grandfather set in motion and he is after all Lord Hades of Tartarus. She might want ‘hide’ behind the armor of the law, but the rules of tartarus are simple. Win and survive or lose and become food for the winners (quite literally). It is a solution that has been in play for over 5000 years and if you are good enough, you become one of the winners and serve in on of 5 phalanxes of Tartarus. But that is later, first you must survive 20 fights and as you are made a kappa, you get assigned patrol duty and a much better weapon. At present we need to see the evidence (as little as there is).

So when we are told “Meta found “millions” of 11 and 12-year-olds were on Instagram and “did little to keep them off” as the trial opened on Tuesday.” So where are these ‘children’ from? What is the law on these kids being on Facebook and/or Instagram? What exactly is ‘keeping them off’? Are there clear legal settings? The article does not bare that out. It is written to tell the story that regardless Meta is guilty. So what exactly is “social media addiction” you see, parenting is also a need and most kids do not have it because both parents are up to their eyelids in work, they seemingly have no time for parenting. Which is a first setting. Then we get that the United States and several other nations are whining doubt the freedom of speech, but never about the accountability of the spoken word. They tend to go hand in hand. As such we are given “Meta has put forward in at other litigation this year – that social media addiction does not exist” If there is, it must be proven and that is where the trough goes leaking all over the floor. You see, Is this addition clearly described in the ‘The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition’? If not, what evidence is there? So, whilst we take notice on ““There can be no dispute that Meta has recognised people struggle, or can struggle, with their use of social media, and has come up with tools to try and address that,” Schmidt said.” But what is a struggle? And whilst we see and take notice of “The trial stems from a lawsuit filed in 2023 by 29 US states, including California and New York. They claim there have been numerous violations of federal and state privacy laws for children.” My question becomes “What violation and what laws were broken?” You see, nearly all children lie (around 99%) they do so out of peer pressure and peer pressure through influencers, to being to a group and they want to belong, especially as the parents are often no where to be found, but that is my take on this and I am not a parent. So when we get to the greed driven stage we see “The states seeking billions of dollars from Meta and are demanding it make changes to Instagram and Facebook, including ending “like” counts and infinite scroll.” So what exactly are these ‘like counts’ and infinite scrolls? There is a like setting to nearly all stages (LinkedIn, BlueSky and Twitter have them too), so what is the problem? Social media is less then 30 years old, less than one generation and there are things that would required adjusting, but for that matter. How was this addressed in Microsoft products? “The “like” feature in Microsoft ecosystem applications lets users quickly react to, endorse, or acknowledge messages, comments, and files without sending a full reply. It is available across tools like Teams, Outlook, and Word”, it seems to be all over the IT and internet field. What makes Facebook stand out? It is a part of social media, deal with this. And it is not merely Microsoft, Google has this too. So either show the whole field or that setting is merely discriminatory. So as I go into my usual ‘funny’ setting of “I hate discrimination and Xbox users” you might get the point. And this case is seemingly set to over 3 years as we were given “a lawsuit filed in 2023 by 29 US states” so which states? And more important what “state privacy laws for children” were broken? There is a lacking summary and I get that this is not the setting people like Megan O’Neill might like, because if it was all good then we would see this broken down here. I reckon that there are sides that she is ‘unhappy’ with because she might lose at that point. So when we get to this we see “In her opening arguments Megan O’Neill, a lead attorney for California, relied heavily on information found in millions of documents provided in the case from Meta. They included internal research, employee emails, and chat logs that went all the way up to Zuckerberg.” So the simple question becomes. Who tested these millions of documents? You see when we see “internal research, employee emails, and chat logs” there is the setting of verification and validation. And as I wonder if she read them all, she shouldn’t be using statements like ‘millions’ and how many times did Mark Zuckerberg papers interact with these papers? A mention of his name doesn’t do the legal settings. Which is why as Lavrinthi of Tartarus I can see beyond the light of name calling and Auntie Aphrodite always says “People note that personal growth and confidence are often internal psychological shifts rather than strict proof of divine contact.” (It was something about yearning) which makes sense. As such I see the evidence stack against Megan O’Neill’s statements. So what is in a chat log? Were all the people verified and validated? Because who will see me as Lavrinthi the speaker for mr. Morningstar and not ‘some’ cook? Baking the preserved nature of non-data driven academic essays (an eloquent way of stating fiction)? 

So then we get the ‘good’ stuff. We are given “One piece of internal research on Instagram stated: “Teens have an addict’s narrative about use.”” Merely one piece of internal research? There are allegedly millions of documents and you only have one piece of research? So was it merely one piece or one peace of research showing what YOU needed? Then we get “Despite Meta’s awareness of potentially negative impacts, O’Neill argued that Meta targeted young people as users of Facebook and Instagram. Meta, she said, went out of its way to “assure the public that its platforms were safe for kids”.” So what is potential impacts? 

Negative of not, Meta is a business and it needs evidence showing that impacts are negative. Which is a loaded setting as plenty of youthful adults are inclined to lie, as such the data becomes a wisp of claimed settings. So whilst we get that “assure the public that its platforms were safe for kids” was it a lie? Where is the proof that there was danger to children? I don’t know if either is true, but the BBC is not giving us those details are they? Neither are others (as far as I can tell) so that is the stage were it all goes dark and that is when (as I personally see it) that O’Neill needs to really on a warped sense of needs whilst trying to get favour for children and let the dice fall where they may. 

And when we get to “O’Neill outlined to the jury how Meta’s business model could be summed up. “Hook the users; hold them for as long as they can; harvest their data; hide the truth from the public when making public statements,” she said.” My question to that ‘defense’ would be “Show evidence of ‘hold them for as long as they can’” Pretty please? Users can quite Facebook any moment of the day, I did that 2 years ago when Facebook made a turn for the filtering of data. I merely gave up. They could too and this raises the stage of ‘hold them for as long as they can’ as trivial and untrue, because it is not up to Meta, it is up to the user and O’Neil cannot prove any of that, she can merely imply and hope it is enough for a jury. It is what you can prove that sets the court right and by my reasoning she failed to make the case, they can merely let this ride on and on and hope to get as much coins out if it as they can. And as I see it, Meta is merely being used to get a few cats and turn them into fat cats. As I see it, it is not evidence, merely wasting the courts time (as I personally see it).

So have a nice day and consider if you are a parent if you are watching or talking to your children about social media and about personal safety in these spaces, which any parent really needs to do.

What is the path of a coward?

That is what I am settled with, because that might be me. I personally don’t think so, but the settings we see is that there is too much rumble on the ether. They all have something to say and some of them speak a lot but do not say anything at all. We are in the setting that everyone is looking for someone to blame and the United States even more so. The guardian gave us less than 24 hours ago ‘Donald Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it ‘gets in the way’ of ending Iran war’ The USA is panicking as I see it. A simple run on oil is now almost 6 months. The USA spend $37.5 billion over a war that could be seen as unconstitutional and now they are about to lose whatever they had in the Middle East. Now we see another ‘exaggeration’ by President Trump. In June he stated ‘Iran war updates: US and Iran sign memorandum to end war within 60 days — as it happened’, it has now been 60 days, so where is that memorandum? So, only 11 hour ago we are given (source: Canberra Times) ‘Iran says it will escalate if US does not honour deal’ and after that the BBC gave us ‘Why has Trump shifted on North Korea?’, where we see “President Donald Trump has said that the US will “substantially reduce” joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his “very good relationship” with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un.” So some now refer to President Trump as the anti-Christ, I merely think he is the false prophet, drowning the world in chaos, because in chaos other parties get to profit and that is what President Trump is out for, the United States are done for, the $40 trillion debt is too much and I saw that coming over a decade ago. But President Trump is hoping that if the middle East explodes (thanks to Iran) because that is now the greatest threat to the United States. With the Middle East, China gets to win and that is not what the United States wants. The end of Wall Street is coming and it was foreseen by several parties, but if the chaos erupts, the United States get to play a little longer at the expense of the EU and anyone else that is threatening. Russia in no longer a threat, the Ukraine took care of that. The EU is too deep in debt, because that was the setting that the United States always banked on and so is Japan. The Middle East (mainly Saudi Arabia and the UAE) could bank with China and create a total new world order and they will be the foundational stones of BRICS. This is what the United States is seemingly hoping for. Am I right? I think so, but I have no evidence, I can merely postulate this speculation. And me? I rather add more on additional sides of ‘What happened to Junior Sandiego?’ And I am adding at least three sides to this and I have a few ideas on another setting, but that is merely for the eyes of Broderbund. And I have an additional edge to give to them as well. A simple setting of aggregating games and matching abilities on the setting of other games and as far as I can tell there is no IP protection if I set the parameters right. A massive win for gamers all over the world, that is if the insanity of President Trump is allowed to continue, if not, there will be millions of gamers less. So is my setting correct? I think President Trump showed his hand when he started to mention “his “very good relationship” with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un.” That was when I figured it out. The United States could only continue if the world is on fire and besides the actual flames, it could not set a match to the Middle East that he left to Iran, he merely had to get Israel to attack Iran with them. And these attacks were a waste of time, I already showed that months ago a more fruitful setting could be given by eradicating the facilities that process oil and they only in part did that, that is what 37 billion got there a partial victory and a complete failure. And I was stumped with my decreased military knowledge (I left the service 44 years ago) and I was stumped, I am nowhere near the Pentagon in knowledge, so how did I know more? Get better results, saw a better strategy? But then President Trump gave the North Korea setting and at that point I figured it out. And the knowledge that power once given can never be receded. The Ancient Romans gave us “Ancient Roman reflections on receding power focused on moral decay, internal corruption, overextension, and the inevitable cycle of rise and fall that follows imperial dominance” that was 2000 years ago and we haven’t learned anything (well almost that little) And my setting is that I tire of this and I much rather work on the design of a new and improved video game than being the person that talks a lot (or writes a lot) and say nothing. Which is where we are now. So sink my ideas, but I reckon that plenty of people are arriving at the setting I am now, President Trump showed his hand with the Kim Jong Un variable and now there are several element in the world are aware of the Chaos setting that President Trump is seemingly unceasing on us all. First Canada, then Greenland, then Venezuela, then Iran and now Korea (North and South) and the media is seemingly all wiling to stuck their heads in the sand as I see it, I am clever, really clever but I am not that clever and others would have found the same I did. So in the last 10 hours, did anyone give you this? Even in a speculative form? I am wondering who got there when I did, but the racking of culprits on that same setting is near absolute zero. So are they the cowards, or am I the coward for thinking that hiding my head in creating a new video game is the act of cowardice? I don’t know but there is a weird game going on and the United States in the thick and the middle of it all, but that is merely my view on the situation. 

So have a great day and I hope to hand the new game (optionally) to Broderbund at some point, if we live that long.

Wolves or Chihuahuas?

I am acting on a feeling, this happens. But the difference is that I have no economic sense (not really), It comes to a ground setting that I can get rich because I spend ;less than I earn, but not fast enough to use tax benefits as leverage to make a larger offset. I don’t know the laws on this and it doesn’t worry me. But I know data, I’ve seen it rustle for the better part of half a century and I noticed today that things are off. I have written about Oracle before, the last time just a day ago. But something seems to have changed. I wrote about vulture investors, but there that is 2-3 years away. And now I see that Oracle is at the centre of way too much press and it is diverse. It is like seeing the set up of a play that some are making and they need to press to do some of the waves and groundwork. That is what I feel, but am I right? The last one (that I think I saw) was ‘Alphabet vs. Oracle: Which Is the Better AI Stock to Own for the Next 5 Years?’ (Yahoo Finance), the article is seemingly nice, but there is an undertone in all this. First of all, why even make the comparison? They have overlapping settings in different directions and I get that you have to make a choice, but that tends to be a personal one. I am such a coward that I would try to go 50-50 on them, they are both sound good and they make an excellent setting for my portfolio. Then we also get ‘Oracle Heavily Shorted, Stock Halved—Contrarian Opportunity?’ And ‘Oracle’s $10,000 Lesson: A 38% Plunge in 12 Months Despite Record AI Backlog’ followed by ‘Oracle Stock Falls 3.8% as $40 Billion Funding Plan Tests AI Backlog’ and ‘Project Jupiter: Gas Pipeline Delay Threatens Oracle’s $165 Billion New Mexico AI Data Center’ (less than an hour ago) as I see it, it started with ‘Oracle junk bond fears, debt surge sound alarms for investors’ 23 hours ago. There are always setting that happen at the same time, but to see 6 pages of headlines in the last 24 hours and diverse, it is not that they all talk about 1 thing. It comes across that the attacks on Oracle are beginning and everyone wants to take a bite out of that data behemoth. That is what it feels like to me, someone is gunning for Oracle and I have no idea who, but someone knows. 

The problem for me is that it sounds like the wolves are coming and they might merely be chihuahuas making noises. The setting is that I am not economically savvy enough to make the distinction (I am no Mark Carney after all), but the data that I see gives me the feeling that they are wolves setting up for a yummy clambake and they are setting the table. This is the groundwork I expected to see starting around December 2027, not in the last 24 hours. I get that someone will make the point that the world never sleeps and that business is always on the menu, I get that, but to start carving into a behemoth like this, before that ‘carcass’ is well and ready means that some are showing their hands and whilst this might be a prelude to an actual attack, which means that someone is seeing the soft spot at Oracle, but is that really the case? I lack the economic savvy that I need for this. I can see the data, but that still leaves for a lot of time, these steps give me that Oracle is out of time, or at least that is the premise I notice and that is the problem. Are these chihuahuas that want to make nose to get noticed or are the wolves famished and they need (read: desire) a proper non vegetarian meal? I it just the distance that I fail to see, or is it the noise I hear and I cannot tell the difference? That is the lack of economy in me and I get that, but the data, the data is out there and I surely hope that they are merely chihuahuas, Oracle can stomp on them and shoo them towards a long walk on a short pier, but in the other case, is are we watching the prelude to boardroom tables setting up a circle setting to fight off the wolves? My data insight tells me it is too soon for that, but it requires economic savvy to tell that difference. The data is not there and whilst Oracle has a lot more data insight then I do (never be afraid to honor the biggest dog in the game), I feel that there is rustling in the shrubberies and it is time to differentiate between chihuahuas and wolves. It is not a simple difference because you top on one and shooting of the others (the rest will take a step back). One is a simple miscommunication the other  requires a license, even if it is self defence, so as I see it Oracle better get ready for whatever they plan.

The question is, what do you do when the wolves come calling early? Have a great Sunday, not in Toronto and Vancouver though, for them it is still Caturday and they are hugging their tigers (as men do).
