What would you do?

We get that is the ‘dangerous’ question, but consider your situation when you are a mere step from becoming broke (or whatever a nation calls itself) you have no credit left, no goodwill left and you need to get your defence settings up (in a major way) as such the United States is set into a almost unbearable situation where (according to several newspapers)  they are requesting ‘Iran war has cost US $37.5bn so far, Hegseth says, as Pentagon seeks billions more’ (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70gek2kqyno) beside the setting that as I see it, that almost 38 billion amount seems to have been stretched, the request of “Hegseth told the Senate Appropriations Committee it was urgent that lawmakers approve another $87bn in congressional funding for the Pentagon, with $67bn of that destined for operations in the Middle East.” I am not debating the amount, although seems to be a little far fetched, especially as in 2025 the num bars given were “The U.S. national defense spending for fiscal year 2025 totaled approximately $919 billion to $954 billion in total outlays (with the initial Department of Defense request starting around $849.8 billion)” setting the need for Iranian oil well beyond 10% of the total and “The White House asked Congress in April for $1.5tn for the Pentagon over the next fiscal year, which would raise American military spending to an all-time high in the modern era”, where we consider that the US defense forces are at that stage loaded for bear (as expressions go). And compared to 2025 it exceeds 100% of the previous year, as such I am facing questions. It makes sense in my consideration that the United States is about to buckle and they want their defenses to be up when it does. So whilst we are given “Hegseth said current and future training for military members would need to be cut without the funds, as he repeatedly blamed former President Joe Biden’s administration for what he said was an underfunded military. The most senior Democrat on the committee, Patty Murray, pushed back on the funding request, saying it “does not make a lot of sense”. Asked by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin if he had an estimate for how much the war in Iran has cost so far, Hegseth gave the $37.5bn figure.” I can see both sides off the argument, especially if the United States would be forced to forfeit on their loans and when the US Treasury bonds are dumped by others (which is at present set to almost $9.37 trillion) the setting that this could be dumped on the markets whilst also seeing over a trillion dollars in interest bills. I reckon that 2027-2028 will become a messy United States to be sure. As most of these settings collapse, a strong defense is pretty much all that stands between the United States and circling vultures. 

As such I see the requests of Pete Hegseth, whilst not debunking Patty Murray on any of this, and in all this the blaming on all this on former President Biden is becoming stale to say the least, especially when too many truths are getting twisted in all this. As such a headline given 11 hours ago where we see ‘The USA has collected 13 billion dollars from Venezuela’s oil sales, but has not provided details about the destination of these funds.’ As such there is a concern that these finds are handed to the US defense coffers, as such the 37.3 billion might have to be lessened by $13 billion, or did you forget about the Venezuelan clambake? And in all this, what are the total numbers of expenditure in troops, material and ammunition in all of this? Why wasn’t this raised on numerous occasions? Or is whatever went under the bridge no longer an interest to the media? All these questions and there is a consideration that the $13,000,000,000 was used to keep the United States afloat. It might be merely my view, but I am unwilling to consider that none of the media has considered that, or are they driven by Epstein files and digital dollars to make their revenue?

So, You see, the questions are piling up and the setting of a ‘State of the Union’ because as I see it, these parkers were up for some time and the ink from the date of February 24th 2026 is barely dry. As such the setting of the speech, which is supposedly giving the nation “Outlines the condition of the nation, reviews the administration’s achievements, and proposes upcoming legislative priorities” might have missed the marker by at least a mile and when you consider that the “The current “golden age of AI” is an era of rapid technological acceleration driven by generative models, deep learning, and massive infrastructure investments. This period has radically lowered the barriers to software creation, automated complex workflows, and sparked national science initiatives like the White House report on” would be missing the mark by at least two decades and that is the short and sour of that equation, as such there is no golden age, because (as I see it) that revenue is being pushed back and forth by 3-4 corporation with Nvidia being the largest winner. So there is a larger default and in that age Pete Hegseth is requesting an amount going towards $1,500,000,000,000 and that is bedsides the Stargate funds, which is targeting up to US$500 billion in total funding by 2029. It was officially announced by OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and Abu Dhabi-based investment firm MGX. And when this is set in the scales with a estimated debt of $39,588,242,618,845 the numbers are not adding up. It is almost like these debts are ‘compartmentalized’ though people that seemingly don’t talk to each other and they are taking turns talking to the United States Department of the Treasury. I wonder how Scott Bessent is keeping all that separated and apart for a speculative reporting. Did you not wonder that? 

In all this I wonder how some parties are avoiding the limelight in all this and the requests by Pete Hegseth brings it all to the surface, because a journalist should have had his quills up (those without a text editor) and that is seemingly not happening, because we would have read this and whilst one source gave us: ‘The US printed more than 3.3 trillion dollars in 2020 alone and it matters today’ whilst I cannot deny this might have happened, there is no valid source or a newspaper who is supporting that part and if that would be true, the dollar is due for a decent downside, because that would be added to the $39 Trillion debt and I raised this in ‘Is it that simple?’ With an exaggerated Weimar example (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/07/19/is-it-that-simple/) I remember that, because I had a DM100,000,000 note, which I hope would be enough to persuade some gorgeous lady to have sexual intercourse with my 16 year old body (we are delusional in what we can) and not weirdly, no one was taking that bait. But that is for another day. Still that setting is out there and all the facts are not events that took place in the last few weeks, as such the State of the Union might have been a hollow ship and when we consider rallying that my setting for a imploding United States might be on track to be 11-23 months from now. And as I see it, the Pete Hegseth request as well as the clambakes towards Canada (51st state), Greenland, Venezuela and Iran snow bringing too much to the surface and that is not a good thing. Because the United States needs friends, it desperately needs them and as I see it, they alienated allies they had, busted up economic options and as I see it, what was intended for the coffers of the United States, is now headed towards Canada (making me happy to a larger degree). And as China is now infringing on options that had put the United States in the first Column, China is now moving into and leaving the United States in the third column (a sales term). As I see it, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UAE is putting their options towards tourism draining the United States even more and all this is adding up, whilst some costs and expenditures are not voiced correctly (as I personally see it), as such the United States is in a bad place and I ask you: ‘What would you do?’ Because the simple truth is that the one priority of the United States is the United States, that much anyone should accept. But how will they get there? So whilst one source (PBS) is giving us “President Donald Trump’s financial disclosures revealed that his business ventures generated over $2 billion in 2025 during his first year back in office—more than triple his prior income. These unprecedented financial gains, heavily driven by cryptocurrency projects and branded merchandise, have intensified public debate and ethics scrutiny regarding potential conflicts of interest” we are facing two settings. Did he break any laws (I don’t care) and the second setting is “Are the United States is much deeper waters pertaining to the debt levels than anyone is considering?” Because that part matters, it matters for the Commonwealth and it matters to the EU and they need to either get stronger together, or seek some kind of an alliance with a place like China. And I think that this might be the case as the China bashing through places like LinkedIn is getting stronger and as LinkedIn is Microsoft, it brings the seating that this might be the reality we have to face. 

Feel free to deny or debunk my views, but there is too much out there and I am merely keeping a tally of what is being missed by the media at large. 

Have a great day today.

The delusional presentation

That is how I felt when I read the News from ABC. There is no setting of ‘merely’ reporting. The ABC decided to forward a presentation by a terrorist. Can we blame them? I wonder. You see the news (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-20/houthis-declare-maritime-blockade-on-saudi-arabia/106938064) gives us ‘Houthis declare maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, escalating threat to energy supplies’ where we see “The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have declared a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, effective immediately, targeting ships carrying Saudi exports through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Houthis claim they are acting in response to Saudi Arabia’s “oppressive siege” on Yemen over the past 12 years.” As I see it (slightly less diplomatic) is that the Houthi terrorists are playing the bitches of the Iranians and if Iran falls, so does their no so position of strength. As such Iran requests and like little girls they responded. My mind is racing, because at this point I have to see what more I can do to assist Saudi Arabia and create more IP to come to their aid. So whilst they think they are safe, there is the need to make it not so safe for these Houthi terrorists. So whilst we are seeing “In a statement, the Houthis military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group would enforce the blockade against its “criminal Saudi enemy”, effective immediately.” As I see it, the only criminal entity are the Houthi terrorists but that might be neither here nor there.

The question then becomes if the Houthis are working from the shores of Djibouti or Eritrea, because that might complicate matters. My personal sight on the map gives rise that they are also operating from Mayyum, which is a small Yemeni island in that strait. But what to do about it, I am almost at a loss. My designs are set to take away options. This might require personal eradication and the way terrorists work is to let others suffer for their operating ways. And that personal approach takes away time from Saudi Arabia. They might have time for now, but the operational setting s that these terrorists can play for time, whilst I am in the mood to play for eradication. The second thing is that they get supplies from somewhere, but where are they coming from and there are thoughts that they are supplied by smugglers operating from Djibouti, but I have no evidence in support of that. Im stuck in the setting to let Houthi villages burn, because that is what the faith of Houthi terrorists is set to. So, it can happen to them as well. So whilst we are given “the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said in a statement that it would respond to them with force, and also that it began implementing protection measures for its ships moving through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.” It is my opinion that more is needed. The media has procrastinated long enough, propagating lies when it suited the needs to their network in ‘support’ of share and stake holders when needed and I think it has been quite enough. 

I understand that Iran has a personal setting in all this and I cannot fault them for that, especially as they themselves played the bully car long enough, but now as Houthi children start interfering by acting as a mouthpiece for Iran, I say that we have had enough. And they are children, because Houthi movements started in 1992 and as they ‘feel important’ to come to the aid of Iran, they are pushed into the same clambake as all terrorists and as such they can be made to suffer. Consider that all this started in 1992 by by either Mohammed al-Houthi or his brother Hussein al-Houthi, as such that organisation has not been around for too long and as stated by some, the religious material included lectures by Mohammed Hussein Fadhlallah (a Lebanese Shia scholar) and Hassan Nasrallah (Secretary General of Hezbollah). So their history is drenched in Terrorist history. I did not know this until recently and I learned to seek historical settings in any eradication So when we see, Iran, Hezbollah and Houthi, is there any part of Shia Islam that does not have terrorist grounds? I am merely asking this, because the words of UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed’s warning to the West in 2017. A mere 8 years ago and he is proven right again and again and when the west (which means us) is seeing this and realizing that giving a voice to these extremists is our own undoing. When does the western media wake up? Let these media dodo’s work from the press buildings in Yemen (are there any left?) Or are they happy to vocalize the need of terrorists from their cushy chairs in London, New York, Los Angeles, Sydney. Although there is no visible support for these regional alignment for groups within that “Axis of Resistance” (which includes the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas) in Sydney, but as there are 

media connections to monitoring large-scale pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel demonstrations in Sydney’s CBD. There is some hidden support in Sydney, because that setting is fueled somewhere and these people like their media, which with the populist people racing to YouTube and TikTok is a little harder to see, but I reckon that someone might have a word with Director Burgess at some point (the big boss of the sneaky police). 

You see, we cannot do to much there, as such we need to find how their voices are propagated outside Yemen and silence these voices. I am all for a right to speak, but I don’t share that need for terrorists. And the idea is to diminish their voice as a given first. So that the media is forced to focus on things like doing so from the Yemen Press Agency (YPA), which is the Middle East’s largest international multimedia broadcast agency headquartered in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. See how long they last. We see these anti-Semitic settings in Sydney and Melbourne, so lets evict these people to Palestine for a minimum of 2 years to a university in Palestine, Lebanon or Yemen. See how long they last there. See how their voice alter in mere weeks and they need to get by another 100 weeks. Should be fun (as fun goes). But the setting remains, take away their voices, or better stated take away access to delusional influencers who see these groups as a mealticket as they lack access and that is the more dangerous setting and taking away this will enable others to deal with these terrorists in Yemen. 

It is simple, something needs to be done, but I am uncertain to what is the best policy. I merely see an IP setting that I can wield. I had an idea, but this would be a little harsh. You see gaming is my forte. So create a survival game where people get to be a terrorist and they are on the setting to live that life. I reckon that others (the wannabe’s) will see the simplicity that their time is measured in mere hours and death is the only outcome for them. You see, as I see it, we only see people like Yahya Saree, but we do not see the 150,000 direct violent deaths and hundreds of thousands more from indirect causes like famine. So when people are faced with giving the life of these (said to be a total of approximately 375,000 killed), so one out of 375,000 gets to become someone like Yahya Saree (0.000267%), the other 99.9998% dies. No other way to show this. So when these wannabe’s play the tens of thousands of times it took them to survive merely once, what is left of their voice? Will they start accepting the futility of it all? And you do not get to blame Saudi Arabia in any of this. Houthi’s were never part of any elected setting and (as far as I can tell) this is why they went to war and supported by Iran they started the Yemeni war. Now they are staging a blockade, as I see it, they are mere children in need of idolization and they used firearms and explosives to get there. 

As I personally see it, we should support Saud Arabia in any way we can and  as ABC ends their article with “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had threatened to use the Houthis to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, as fighting between the US and Iran intensified last week.” They seemingly did the right thing, but there is debate to that in several houses and several media settings. What is a fact that Iran is playing its Houthi Terrorist card and everyone is looking at what Saudi Arabia does, all whilst we should be doing something too, we shouldn’t silence voices, but let them live with the consequence of that given voice. That is how I see Professor Mark Scott AO (chancellor Sydney Uni) should have set the marker. I understand that he doesn’t want to hold ‘young voices’ accountable, but in that process he made that place massively dangerous for the Jewish community. As I see it, He could have expelled them to a ‘friendly’ uni in Lebanon, Yemen or Palestine. Wouldn’t that be a great idea for these voices to see what life there is about?

Have a great day. I doubt it gets the support it needs but that does warrant consideration, does it not? #JustSaying

One is done

That is the setting, I completed one and I almost completed my new script ‘Information Overload’ my new nightmare towards General Joshua M. Rudd (NSA), Anne Keast-Butler (GCHQ) and optionally Nicolas Lerner (DGSE). You try to appease a population of millions, but what are the chances? So if I merely get three people on board of this nightmare, I will have filled my quota of scared bunnies. The rest of the population of those nations will follow soon enough. The media takes care of that and it is nice to use the media to fruitfully adhere to my needs. They tend to be debatable at best, but we have to start somewhere and when the NSA gets nervous, my guess is that Alexey Alexeevich Rarenko (Center16, FSB) might get twitchy too, which gets me an additional 144,998,000 (they allegedly lost 1000 Russians last night) optional interested parties. We start small and we enlarge that population through traction as we get along. But this time it is about me (my favourite subject, all the way from the township of ‘Whogivesafuck’ population: 1).

But in all this I learned a few things. No matter how Final Draft is ‘meant’ for Hollywood and scriptwriters. It has a few kinks in all this. So as I write ‘my’ script, I tend to do this in Pages. But there are two issues, when I past it into beatbox all is fine and when I try too paste it into the FD editor, things go weirdly wrong. Even when trying to adjust to FD, it seems like hidden codes make a mess of it all, in case of this script and the other one ‘How to assassinate a politician’ which got the secondary title ‘Essay’ things are different. These are relatively small. One of the scripts surpasses 50,000 words and there are three more and that is where things get dicey. 

As such I kept all the mails Final Draft sent me from the beginning, so it might be there, but at present I cannot find it. As such Final Draft might want to spend a day or two making a white paper on “From Word/Pages to Final Draft’’ as far as I could tell it isn’t there (or I missed it) So I am a little lost at present, but soon I have no other option to either type it all or make the Pages version look like it is Final Draft, a slight horrible setting. Don’t get my wrong, Final Draft is seemingly excellent. The first script went almost without a hitch, so in any way I don’t blame them, and as the pages texts go into Beatbox, I am getting the stuff across, but getting from Beatbox the text formatted into FD is slightly beyond a pain (irritating, aggravating and frustrating as well).

So I am in a little bit of a binding setting. So next on the list is dig through over 230 emails I have from Final Draft, perhaps there is a solution there. I reckon that a lot could be fixed if you could go (in the editor) in some kind of code view and delete the separate codes you see there. I reckon it should be there, because Word gives the users the most garbage codes out there, so I reckon that Final Draft has solved this option, but I didn’t find it (yet).

So whilst I have a small victory with yet another script done, there is that larger setting of the other scripts, because ‘Information overload’ is not a full movie, a short movie at best, as such reason for coffee and cakes, but only when the other three are converted the brandy and ice creams come out.

Have a great day all

Terrorists are as terrorists do

I got hit by two news pieces. The first one was the Canberra Times, which I will discus second. After that I saw the news that Sky News gives us (at https://www.skynews.com.au/world-news/global-affairs/iran-tells-houthis-to-close-red-sea-gateway-if-us-hits-power-network-sources-say/news-story/e0db23cd9c0ccb4eba564a13c222be79) where we see ‘Iran tells Houthis to close Red Sea gateway if US hits power network, sources say’. So, Iran vie Houthi terrorists attacks Saudi interests when another party attacks? And we let these settings happen? Lets’ be clear, Saudi Arabia has not now, not ever allowed the United States launch attacks on Iran via their ports and harbours. As such it now becomes unacceptable and I consider it up to Saudi Arabia to do whatever it needs to do to make certain its areas are terrorist clear. As I see it, It is up to Saudi Arabia to do what it needs to do, but as I gave both the UAE and Saudi Arabia my military IP and I find it totally acceptable to use this against Houthi terrorists. As such the Port of Aden is about to become the only way in or out, handing the Yemeni authorities a new strength and as the Port of Hodeidah, Port of Mukalla, Port of Mokha, Port of Saleef, Ras Isa Marine Terminal and the Port of Nishtun are now valid targets to be closed for months at a time. As I see it, Houthi terrorists will suddenly cry for mercy when their only access port becomes Route 45 (well, it goes through Saudi Arabia, so that one is out too). But more about that later. 

You see, the news all started with the Canberra Times (at https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/9312297/houthi-leader-warns-saudi-arabia-against-escalation/) giving us ‘Houthi leader warns Saudi Arabia against escalation’ well, Saudi Arabia did nothing to escalate, it was all the United States (with support from Israel) and they escalated Iranian actions. As such pretty much the whole world will allow Saudi Arabia do what it needs to do. And I gave my IP months ago, as such closing the harbours becomes a first step. So when we see “Yemen’s Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi says all Saudi oil ‌and other vital facilities will be targets for the group’s missiles ‌and drones if Saudi Arabia escalates its involvement in the conflict.” Well, to be clear, Saudi Arabia hasn’t done this, it is just a hidden meaning of someone stopping anyone to halt the United States from attacking Iran, and they attacked ships in the strait of Hormuz. As I see it, Saudi actions are clear. They can attack any Houthi terrorist interests anywhere in Yemen, which pretty much guarantees shutting down their ports and the world will approve whatever Saudi Arabia thinks it needs to do. I don’t think Houthis terrorists have ever faced that before.  So the cry stories of those innocent Yemeni children will now go to deaf ears and as Saudi Arabia recently cleared 1,293 explosive devices in Yemen (source: Arab News) Houthi forces are about to learn what happens when the world has had enough with terrorists camouflaged threats. So whilst we see ““The real equation is ‌Sanaa airport for Riyadh airport, airports for airports, ports for ports, and blockade for blockade,” the Houthi leader said in a televised speech. Yemen has been mired in civil war for more than a decade since the Houthi rebels seized the capital Sanaa, prompting ‌a Saudi-led military intervention in 2015 in support of the internationally recognised government.” As such they camouflaged threat will be met with other settings. As Saudi Arabia retaliates I will have to revisit my IP that takes the highways out of the equation as well. It will effectively isolate Houthi terrorists in their places. So whilst Sky News gave us “Iran told Yemen’s Houthi rebels Wednesday to prepare to close the crucial Bab el Mandeb Strait — the critical shipping lane on the west side of the Arabian Peninsula— if the US strikes Iranian power plants.” There is a second setting, because this all relies on Iranian goods and when those are of the table, Houthi life will become a lot more difficult. Whatever happens, I hope the international world will give their support to Saudi Arabia to do whatever it needs to keep its places safe and secure. Because as I see it, Iranian actions shows that it has become as desperate as we have ever seen them and as Iran relies on terrorists to do their bidding, the hands of Saudi Arabia are no longer bound by international cry stories. 

There is only so much threats that we are willing to accept and Iran using terrorists against a nation who is not involved in activities against them, a nation that even denied the United States to act against from its lands, or even fly through its airspace. As such the war board will change a lot soon enough. 

How soon? That is up to Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi, but he needs to realise that the world will no longer idly stand by to these actions and I reckon that Saudi Arabia might find many nations willing to part with military hardware for Saudi Arabia in the process. 

So to all I wish you a happy lunchtime (Toronto) or dinner (Rotterdam) and I as I am still 360 minutes from breakfast I might treat myself to a cookie at present. Have a great day all.

The truth becomes a question

That was the disgust I felt when I saw ‘US Leaders Know UAE Backs Massacres in Sudan. Stopping Them Would Be Too Costly’ today. As I see it, these lies should be set with liability claims towards the Truthout (at https://truthout.org/articles/us-leaders-know-uae-backs-massacres-in-sudan-stopping-them-would-be-too-costly/) and a major claim should also be handed to the writer “By Elfadil Ibrahim, Responsible Statecraft”, but what would I know about that. The inferred claim in the heading is merely the window dressing. What is the real claim that not only are the UAE and the United States mere puppets towards the Sudan, the setting that this (as far as I can tell) mere baseless claims are part of this all. So as I see “El Fasher was the last major city in Sudan’s Darfur region still outside the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary force that has been fighting Sudan’s national army, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), in a civil war that recently entered its fourth year. The war has morphed into a regional proxy conflict, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) backing the RSF, while Egypt and Turkey have emerged as the army’s primary backers, providing weapons, drones, and training.” Comes with several parts. Do you think that the UAE was actually part of this and Egypt and Turkey opposing this? Don’t you think the world news media would have mentioned this at least once? You see, the Human Rights group (a party always in need of media coverage) makes claims that “Rights groups allege the UAE has supplied advanced drones, armored vehicles, and weapons to the RSF. Evidence indicates the UAE has also facilitated the transit of foreign mercenaries and private military contractors to aid the paramilitary group” If this was true and if there was any kind of evidence the word ‘allege’ would not be added, there would be statements ‘this evidence is provided’, it seemingly was not. Then the BBC makes claims that “The RSF has been widely accused of war crimes and ethnically targeted mass killings in Sudan. Because of the UAE’s alleged enabling role, Sudan filed a case against the UAE at the International Court of Justice, citing complicity in genocide” again with the words ‘allege’ in it, as such no evidence exists. Then we get a more ‘varied’ setting with “Mounting global evidence has led to growing demands from organizations like Human Rights Watch for international actors to break their silence and hold external backers of the Sudan conflict accountable” as such what mounting global evidence, where is it? What international actors?  What external backers and why are they not clearly named? I get that an insignificant party like the Human Rights Watch loves the limelight, but they are not giving anyone any clear evidence. So as we get “The same day that Boulos spoke before the Security Council, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on individuals and entities linked to both sides of Sudan’s civil war. Four days before that, State Department Spokesman Tommy Piggot warned that “mass atrocities could be imminent” in El Obeid.

At the time of these warnings from Trump administration officials, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had just completed a Gulf tour, reassuring allies shaken by the U.S.- Iran war. During the trip, Rubio told reporters in Kuwait that Washington “continues to engage” on Sudan with Gulf states at every opportunity.” We wonder what sanctions on which individuals? We see the mention of a spokesman and we see political truths, but connected to whom, to what?

These questions keep on mounting liabilities. So when we see “a finding that Washington effectively endorsed through its own sanctions, having designated multiple UAE-based companies in January 2025 for providing the RSF with weapons and financial cover.

Despite Washington’s own warnings of what’s to come, the political inaction means that the situation for the people of El Obeid is bleak. The RSF has set its sights on El Obeid because of its strategic location, linking Darfur to the Nile Valley and the capital, Khartoum. Whoever controls the city controls the central axis of movement across Sudan.” We merely see “UAE-based companies” is too shallow to be used as an instance. You see Microsoft, Oracle & Cisco Systems are based in the UAE. Are they responsible? Aren’t they American? As I see it, someone wants to make hay out of a small spot of grass and there isn’t any. No naming of any kind and seeing the evidence of “weapons and financial cover” usually comes with evidence. So if these weapons are AK-47, would that evidence not be Russian? Merely touching the setting, If the weapons were FN materials wouldn’t the evidence be Belgium? I am merely asking the obvious and whilst we like a good tale like the continuing stories of some president who went to the dogs (which is a muppet show reference) we need to see that evidence. And as we are given “An investigation by The Sentry found that Ahmed al-Humairi, a senior Emirati official, founded and once fully owned the company at the center of that network. He has since divested his shares, but he remains closely linked to the company’s current CEO, fellow Emirati businessman Mohamed Hamdan al-Zaabi. The UAE denies all of this, but members of Congress and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have all openly acknowledged the UAE’s role in arming the RSF. Despite the fact that this is now public knowledge, arms sales to the UAE have not been conditioned, nor has Abu Dhabi faced any real consequences from Washington.” I wonder who is the Sentry? What exactly is the connection to Ahmed al-Humairi, a senior Emirati official? Perhaps he is in charge of parking meters? And the reference is as shallow as anything I have ever seen. It’s like finding an embroidered tissue at a fire with “DT” and then claiming that President Donald Trump set the fire. It is that level of shallow. And the article ends with “This piece was reprinted by Truthout with permission or license. It may not be reproduced in any form without permission or license from the source.” When anyone hides behind these lines, you know that the media will not touch this and they keep on making populist statements to anyone without any kind of accountability and I am not having it. I would hope that the UAE looks into the dealings of Ahmed al-Humairi. In this I am not stating that he is guilty of anything, but the setting should be looked at, only to find the ridiculous setting of it. Then there is the setting of Mohamed Hamdan al-Zaabi. What did he do? Did he do anything illegal at all? 

So as I am trying to get that fifty taste out of my mouth by this piece, I am hoping my mind spots a lot more worthy material of a decent kind tomorrow. Perhaps I will continue a piece I started last week. It’s better than looking into the present political waves all over the world, so you all have a great day.

The way fences crumble

That was the setting that I saw, the Wall Street Journal gave an article (that I didn’t read because it was behind a paywall) where we are given ‘A Dispute Over Opening Hormuz Drives a Wedge Into U.S.-Saudi Relations’ where we are given “Trump threatened kingdom’s supply of drone and missile interceptors when it refused access to bases and airspace for Project Freedom.” That is all I have, but I do not need more. You see, one of the oldest expressions I know if is about mending ones fences and the entire setting that Saudi Arabia gets bullied because of their inability to adhere to (what some call) an illegal war is beyond stupid. You see, Saudi Arabia could ask the Ukraine to deliver 50-150 drones, that request could also be made from China, as such Saudi Arabia has options, but at present the United States is left with less and less options. As Saudi Arabia pulls out whatever they have economically in the United States, amounts up to an estimated $490 billion, with an expanded, long-term commitment expected to scale toward $1 trillion, the united States could now lose that and be left to dry. The bully approach from President Trump is costing the United States more and more. In addition, whatever rare earth mining options Saudi Arabia has could now be awarded to Australia and the EU, costing the United States billions more. So what does a person this stupid do in the Administration of the United States? I am willing to believe that his advisers put this forward, but I reckon that this might be a lose cannon setting, as I personally see it, a stage for the current President. In addition to all this, Saudi Arabia now has an option to demand the extraction of United States troops and Saudi Arabia asking China if they are willing to replace the United States as a preferred option. This enables Iran to vacate Saudi Arabia as a target, because they are unwilling to hurt China, it would be the last mistake they ever made. 

So whilst we mull over the setting that Saudi Arabia is facing with China as the up and coming preferred partner for defence, mining, construction and tourism, the chances of the United States making it with an intact budget to 2028 is getting rather small. And should President Trump now threaten Disney, Warner Brothers and Universal for whatever tourism gap comes, I have a few ideas that could spell a lot of bad news. In addition I am certain that China has its own version of entertainment in the works. Everyone is forgetting that Saudi Arabia has something that the United States desperately wants. So as we were given: 

“The US government is aggressively pressuring oil and gas companies to lower prices. President Donald Trump and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have berated retailers and the Department of Justice is actively investigating accusations of price gouging. They are demanding retailers drop pump prices to target $2.50 a gallon”

And whilst it came with:

“Direct warnings by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued a veiled warning to big oil, independent, and international retailers to be “good actors” or face “big problems” as the administration watches their record profits”, “Department of Justice investigations into claims that oil companies are failing to lower gasoline prices in line with crude drops” and “Market friction towards demands for cheaper gasoline heavily conflicts with their “drill, baby, drill” campaign promises, because prolonged low prices will disincentivize American drillers from expanding production” 

As such I will take this rare setting where I (with a lack of economic education) teach that administration a few things: 

“Commodities are dependent on what is available and what is needed. As such the strait of Hormuz is a setting for over 20% of what is needed and as such prices are going through the roof. Closing it, or better stating, your enemy closing it was perhaps one of the worst ideas for the United States ever.” 

Starting that attack on Iran was badly considered. I gave Saudi Arabia and the UAE defensive settings in March and I also gave a few tactical settings that could have hobbled Iranian tactics and in light of that their refineries are still pumping oil. Before I was, the art of war was and they told generals (2500 years ago) how you scuttle an enemy resources. This pentagon clearly never learned from that. This pentagon also never learned from the French resistance (aka clambake 1939-1944) and that also gave me some ideas in March. As such I became the March Hare (I just saw Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland) everyone seemingly ignored. What matters is that Saudi Arabia has a few more options at their disposal, it does not require the United States as much as the United States requires the coffers of Saudi Arabia. And Saudi Arabia can sell to China and the EU, so it has options. I reckon that should Saudi Arabia play less nice, Iran will run for the hills. And as I personally see it, Saudi Arabia has the intent and motivation to make sure that Iran sees the light for their stupidity. 

And the was merely the first part. You see, Saudi Arabia is deep into construction for what they need for Vision 2030 and they cannot do it alone, so these contracts are now considering the EU and China as contributors. So what is this bully tactic costing the United States? I warned them for this in ‘When it rains, it pours’ on December 2nd 2024 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2024/12/02/when-it-rains-it-pours-2/), I feel decently certain that there is some MoU between China and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia floating around in the Ministry of Defense (the one on the King Abdul Aziz Road) as such the entire bully setting against Saudi Arabia was short sighted and ill conceived. As the image (implying) that this threat was directed at Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud might not have been a stellar idea, but I reckon that President Trump is likely a ‘thanks you’ notice from the President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping. Personally I am hoping that I still get the 0.25% commission for enhancing the chances of China selling the 20 Chengdu J-20, which comes at a total of $2,200,000,000 ($110M each), which leaves me with a shabby $5.5 million making me happy beyond believe. So I have an illusional vested interest in all this, and who doesn’t want to retire with $5,500,000?
So the United States can cry me a river, but they elected the current president, as such they dug their own grave as I see it. So you all have a great day and consider what you will lose out on in the long run. I am likely not getting that commission, but that is the cross I have to bare, or is that bear? Gee, I made another funny, must be the Tim Burton effect of Alice in Wonderland.

Better be safe than sorry

That is what I was thinking when I was exposed to ‘UAE Apologizes For ‘Incorrect’ Missile Alerts’ (at https://thedefensepost.com/2026/06/27/uae-false-missile-alerts/) so as I saw “Emirati authorities apologized on Friday after “incorrect alert messages” warning of a potential missile attack caused jitters among residents. The official messages sent to mobile phones, warning of “potential missile threats” and accompanied by a blaring siren sound, were the first in more than a month. They became commonplace during the Middle East war, when Iran targeted the UAE with more than 2,800 drones and missiles, most of them intercepted.” All whilst a proper explanation why Iran hit the UAE a lot more often than it had ever hit Israel in the same time remains a mystery to me. I get that they would retaliate against Israel. Israel was attacking them. The UAE never did. I expect that it is about tourists screaming like little bitches (like those Crypto dudes in Dubai) and then running to their mommies in the UK. Yet in all this I am of the mind that it is better to be safe then sorry. Especially when the UAE is attacked a lot more than 2700 times in three months and now that the truce with the United States is seemingly failing, the expected bully rage from President Trump might not come with the setting of “On Wednesday, local time, the House passed a Democrat-led war powers resolution aimed at halting further US military action against Iran unless authorised by Congress.” (Source: ABC News) earlier this month. As such I wonder if the United States is able to do anything at all at present. And with Hezbollah playing the power hungry participant, this mess is about to become a lot worse. Still, I feel happy I gave my military IP to the UAE, as such it is up to them to decide what is bet for them, but as I see it as Iran keeps on p[laying the games they are, destroying their harbours, railways and refineries might be the only setting left to play, because a nation without revenue and commodities is one that is bound to fail on nearly every level.

It is up to others to decide what to do, I merely hope that they do what is best for their nation and as I see it, a surviving Iran is the one element that all gulf states tend to agree on is bad for their nation. It walked the path of Terrorism for too long (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi) and that is merely the beginning of that disaster. Some might remember that On 27 October 2016, a Yemeni Houthi ballistic missile known as Burkan-1 was launched towards Makkah City. The missile was intercepted and destroyed by Saudi ground forces 65 kilometers from the city. Some sources say that the Burkan-1 is an Iranian-made Qiam 1, but that is beyond my scope of view (I never saw the evidence and in that case I merely see that Iran gave the technology to a terrorist organisation that attacked the holiest of Muslim sites. How could any Muslim do that? But that setting gives rise to the question “Should Iran survive?” I feel I am ill equipped to answer that because I have been on the anti Iran side for a long time, even before they attacked Aramco and it gave me some of this ideas to thwart the function of Iranian nuclear reactors (it seemed as good an idea as anything else I had made). 

So whatever needs to happen, as I see it, July is the month this is done, because is will come to blows with Iran and if they start talking nice, it is merely because they ran out of ammunition, or it is still on route to its destination. This might be my limited mindset, but that is what I have seen for decades all over the news. So as I see it, whatever the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain do, they better do it in the next two weeks, because as I see it, Iran would want to make an example out of the gulf states soon enough. That is merely how I see it.

Have a great day.

Just when you thought it was over

I was just alerted by a newscast from the BBC, the story gives us ‘US-Iran talks postponed as Vance pulls out of Switzerland trip’, so after we hear that a deal is in the bag (I think this is the 40th claim) we see news that Israel bombs Hezbollah, with lloyds giving us ‘Iran imposes mandatory insurance on ships transiting Strait of Hormuz, with fees likely to follow’ I reckon there is no if or but for that, it is a setting that will follow, Iran is still playing its games. I am happy I gave my IP to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, I saw that there is never ever a way to trust Iran and I created the IP to scuttle their harbours and railway systems. I am (yet again) proven correct. So whilst we see that two hours ago ‘US-Iran talks postponed as Vance pulls out of Switzerland trip’ asI see that neither side is seemingly serious about talks and a stop to fighting, the stage was foreseen by me, because (me being slightly biased) Iran is only willing to talk whilst they are regrouping of awaiting rearmaments, which is why I set the IP for destroying harbours and railway systems. You can delay whatever you want, but when no ammo is getting through they either talk or they go down and I saw this before march. So whilst we are given “But Washington said plans for the talks had “not been finalised”. It added that the US looked forward to “beginning technical talks as soon as possible”. Switzerland’s foreign ministry later confirmed the talks at the Burgenstock mountaintop resort had been “postponed”, although it said preparations for talks were continuing. Swiss military and police officials had been patrolling the luxury hotel set high on a mountain overlooking Lake Lucerne, and a media centre had been set up for journalists.” But personally I don’t think this would have ever worked. The entire Hezbollah setting would have drowned this before it started and only 8 minutes ago we are given ‘Iran tells Hezbollah US talks impossible without comprehensive ceasefire in Lebanon’ and as I see it, Hezbollah never wanted any peace to begin with, optionally neither did Iran, as such the talks were a void setting before it began. And the stage of “no fee for 60 days” is as empty as it sounds, what fees were in place before all this? In this ADNOC has a solution in play and should be placed before years end, Aramco has another solution also in place, as such Qatar, Iraq, Bahrain and Oman are getting hung out to dry. So who considered bombing Iran? Why did they never hit the refineries? There are 9 or 10 refineries, why are they not all down? It is simple strategy. Consider that Sun Tzu wrote the Art of War roughly 2500 years ago. We learned there that “Sun Tzu argued that prolonged engagement exhausts both military and financial resources. In business, this translates to avoiding endless price wars, which erode profit margins and destroy capital faster than the competition” as such the refineries needed to be hit, only then would Iran talk, whilst they have options they will delay without remorse, add the Hezbollah setting and the gulf states get a much harder time.

We see the numbers (courtesy of ABC News) and whilst Iran has oil production, they can continue attacking the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar (and others) removing their ability to pay for resources to attack and options for the west and the gulf states open up. Basically I am whistling Dixie, so why were the United States not ready all whilst they presumably bombed Iran for $26 billion, we can assume that these thousands of bombs were not aimed at the 9-10 refineries. Why?

So whilst we are given (source: Lloyds) “The move challenges a US-Iran agreement guaranteeing toll‑free passage”, with the additional “Iran demands vessels use its preferred northern route, with threats of penalties for non‑compliance”, and in what universe do others decide on what course a captain steers? They can only do so in set conditions but these do not seem to apply. A setting that was doomed from the start, so whilst we are given “Iran has asserted its control over the Strait of Hormuz, insisting that vessels comply with new terms and conditions to transit, including mandatory Iranian insurance for all vessels”, so whilst we see that there is a setting of failure in all this, from beginning to end and I wonder why this is. I am not more intelligent than even the mid level officers in the Pentagon, so what is going on? I am voicing read literature, I see the failures all over the field and I am not versed in military strategies like officers of any army and I can see this as clear as bottled still water. So what is going on? Is the United States now so desperate that if they go under, so everyone else gets to go down first? That is where I land and I wonder if I am mad, but the data we all see is pointing in this direction. And the United States has Vietnam as an example so what gives? And in all this the press should be asking all kinds of questions and they seemingly are not. So whilst my version could very well be incorrect, no one is offering any options that makes sense and I have been seeing this from march onwards. And I don’t believe that I am more trained than any colonel and higher in the Pentagon, my view seems to make sense. So you tell me, what am I not seeing, or what am I getting wrong? But that is merely my point on all this. So whilst we will get ‘some’ report on what is seemingly going on, the things I wrote about from March 1st onwards and lets not forget that President Trump claimed that a deal with Iran was close, and now we seem to get the idea that he gave the farm to Iran, who does that? Who neglects bombing the refineries all whilst 26 billion in bombing runs were made? One source gave us that the United States had struck 2,000 targets using more than 2,000 munitions, so not these refineries? How does that make sense? ABC gives us that Shahran oil depot and the Aqdasiyeh Oil Warehouse were hit, but no refineries? All whilst Iran has hit refineries in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. So, who is wondering the same thing I am? What is going on? 

Have a great day and enjoy the upcoming weekend.

There was more

You see, yesterday I came up with a new lore system and it kept my from the real setting of the game, because there was a lot more. The first part was that there was a reason why I felt affinity to Paradroid and Hacker. The idea was that there were two mainlines (I had not chosen yet) the first was that this was a recon setting for aliens, the second was that survivors of this world were working from a separate setting (I fancied that one a little more) and the only way is to interact by invading technology and drones with a nano virus but it needs to be a lot more structured than just invade a server or a combination of systems, But the idea is that these nano bots can only invade systems in combined efforts (like a server and a drone in unison) from there we get to see a larger setting and from one system we can combine systems to invade a CCTV setting, but CCTV settings are often shielded, so you need a path towards that setting. So I has not worked it all out, but there was an evolving setting connected to all this. So whilst we get that any CCTV system has connected systems, we need to combine a larger connected systems to connect to larger and bigger connections, so there needs to be somehow an evolving setting like Hacker, where we connect to a drone and CCTV systems, but how to do that and keep an interesting game? That is the question I was bending over, but not in the way Paradroid did it (it had its own charm) and I didn’t want to plagiarize that. From that setting I merely had the idea that several autonomous systems could be infected, but that is the extend the game had ‘traction’ and I didn’t want it to be too much of a stalking approach, other than the need to find out what had happened to the people of that place (like a viral attack, or simply a air-conditioning defect) So whilst I was focussing on elements of the game, I was designing the game in real time, because that is how my mind works and the setting is that different devices had its own versions of Lore, so they are all stories, often not connected and it gives the overwhelming feeling of data. That is bound to happen in all these settings, so how to focus that? I gave the lore setting a go and from there the lore was bound to all kinds of things and I had to create a decent amount to overwhelm the senses (and the game) with lore that might seem bound to have a connection. So there I was in what some would seem a steady stream of data, but what is relevant? You cannot have a ‘data game’ with no responses and all relevant data, that is not how it tends to work, but I was trying to figure out how to get to the good stuff and an overload of data tends to be the setting in many cases. So whilst we ‘infect’ drones and systems, we need connect elements and find a way to connect to a system, the best option is to infect a drone and see where the connection tends to go, so we get two locations already and the evolving nano system has limits in the beginning, so it needs several of both for the nano system to evolve into a stronger system, it needs to develop, just like a real nano system does. But autonomous nano tech is not ‘up for grabs’ and as such I had to evolve the ideas in my brain on how to evolve these settings. 

So whilst I was considering all that, the lore system evolved in my brain and it had many connected benefits and it could benefit the future of larger gaming, because lore tends to be the larger setting for many RPG games and a game about hacking and data has an abundant of that, so while there is a need for the lore, the idea of lore writing itself making the game replay-able has benefits. So does the idea of creating a CCTV mesh of data for an entire city. But that is another mess to consider. What mattered is that I had to figure out how a nanotechnology system could evolve. There is the ‘breeding’ setting where systems provide the resources to breed (like connecting a resource to a router or a dead drone), from there we get more nanotechnology at our disposal but I was still working this out, so when we get more resources we get more nano tech to work with, yet here is also the limitation, although a dead drone could provide thousands of drones, they are stuck un a place, as such we need to connect one to the other and that is part of the puzzle I am working on and how to make this a decent part of any game is the puzzle 

I need to work on, an idea is nice, but how to work this out is the puzzle a designer needs to focus on, because not every idea makes a decent game and that path is riddles with the carcasses of optional great ideas and it still beats the news junk on how newspapers are trying to voice the setting that a ‘great idea for peace’ is not the setting that Trump got played by Iran and how Israel is set towards inaction against people that are trying to destroy Israel and they will not stop, so all that settings are a bit dreary and not worthy of my time, or at least that was how I felt about that yesterday, all whilst we are getting less than an hour ago ‘Trump’s Deal Sidesteps Key Reasons He Went to War With Iran’ (source: Wall Street journal), as such we will see more ‘news’ on the setting that the USA is too broke to be considered a player on the world stage. You see some claim “According to U.S. Treasury financial statements, total federal liabilities have grown to nearly $48 trillion against roughly $6 trillion in assets, leading some economists and commentators to label the government as technically insolvent.” (Source: Yahoo News) Or the fact that “The national debt exceeds $34 trillion, equating to a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 123%” (source: Forbes) and I have been saying this since ‘About America, chapter 11’ Which I published on August 26th 2014, almost twelve years ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2014/08/26/about-america-chapter-11/) as such you have all these economic professors who ‘object’ to that setting whilst the setting of the last year are showing me to be the correct party, even though I have no economic degree, I do know data., I have been dabbling in data for decades. As such the game came to my mind and as such the avoidance of the ridiculous war setting was invading my mind for weeks, because at present ‘Trump lashes out at “fools” who oppose Iran deal amid bipartisan criticism’ (source: CBS News) and ‘Senate Republicans raise alarm over Trump’s deal with Iran’ (source: the Hill) as I see it, soon there is no place for the media but to go and delve into the insolvency of the United States, perhaps this president could use the Epstein files to divert the eyes of the media? (evil grin forming on my face), not to mention the musical acting of ‘Republicans slam Trump for caving to Iran in ‘disaster’ of a deal’ (source: Rolling Stone Magazine) an if you consider that the bulk of the media never really liked President Trump, consider what they will publish now. And this is all before Iran sees its way to cry to the courts of international law in The Hague, so there is that still coming and all this could have been foreseen if someone served the power players coffee in the Pentagon, I think it is spelled ‘Covfefe’ (source: President Trump, first presidency) a setting that was clear from the beginning of March, but now that setting will hit the Republicans squarely in the face, as such it might become the most humorous midterms in November 2026 and I reckon that there aren’t too many Republican fans at present. So whilst those up for midterm elections are bound for the unemployment lines, we will see an abundance of mis-categorisations and as such this might be the turning point where the west is seeking a new player that could align with the Commonwealth and the EU and I personally am putting my money on a larger cooperative with Commonwealth, EU and the Arab states, the other option is that the Commonwealth and the EU will align with China. I think the second one is not readily accepted in the EU and parts of the Commonwealth. Still, the cooperative with the Commonwealth, EU and the Arab states could bring prosperity and optional good times for China and whilst the EU is pulling back from Microsoft and the United States hosting of over 4000 data centers. So when do you think well over 10% will be pushed into bad mortgage setting and written off to a rather large degree. All settings that will end an abundance of revenue and set the larger data settings off limits. I have no data to support this, but the crumbles of data are all over the place, the question becomes how connected are these slithers of data? I will let you decide, I have to put some effort in creating a new game, which is much more enjoyable than any political setting. 

So you all have a great day and someone keep an eye on Iran and their connections to Hezbollah and Hamas and when they will ‘miscommunicate’ their intent and it all starts all over again.

Its not the news

That is a setting we often wonder about and I did when I saw ABC giving us ‘Australia downgrades travel warnings for Middle East but region remains volatile’ it gives us that “Australia has downgraded its Middle East travel advice for key Gulf hubs, easing warnings from “Do Not Travel” to “Reconsider your need to travel”.” It is true and it holds water (as the expression goes), but the absence of Iranian pushy and bully needs, together with the absolute setting of why the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar were targeted in the first place is seemingly absent from this discussion. As I stated, it was not up to the news, but they are so “driven” to give us the whole shawarma (enchilada applies to Mexican travels) I wonder why this is absent. So I get that it impartial news to some effect, but the stage where no one seems to hold Iran applicable, all whilst they are seemingly driven to unfreeze billions in Iranian funds. I am merely of the setting that the UAE is due tens on billions in travel damages and a few millions in actual damage done to the UAE. So there is the stage where I also want to know what the trigger is for the “Do Not Travel” setting, as I do not know what the reason is that this was ‘still’ in place as the stage for flights to and from Abu Dhabi gradually resumed in early March after precautionary airspace closures. Etihad Airways launched a limited commercial schedule on March 6, and UAE airspace officially reopened for normal air navigation in May. And we are now in mid June, so what gives that delay? So whilst we get the need for “Reconsider your need to travel”, it also sets my schedule t this need as I haven’t had a vacation since 2005, so my need is optionally high and Abu Dhabi is still on my bucket list (as is Toronto), but that is another story. So whilst we are given “Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Assistant Foreign Affairs Minister Matt Thistlethwaite said in a joint statement, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) had assessed the conditions in the specified countries and determined it appropriate to drop the level.” So, whilst I get that we are given “Australians are being told to closely monitor warnings, avoid crowds and prepare for emergency scenarios including military escalation. “If warned of an imminent attack, move to an enclosed hardened shelter,” Smartraveller advice states.” I can’t stop wondering whether this is done to siphon off some travel to the UAE towards the United States (a place much less appealing at present) So, I get that the average civil servant tends to be a pussy, the delays that are seemingly in place, do not make much sense. Unless there is a delay factor in place where others are seemingly really helped by the delays towards other destinations. So, I do get that people think of me as a ‘doom speaker’ or a ‘conspiracy individual’ but consider the setting we have seen on the last three months and consider what Iran has been pushing for, including bombing places that have nothing to do with the American-Iran Clambake (with special appearance of Israel). At what point was the UAE ever part of this and when is the media exposing that part of the essential finger pointing at Iran? So whilst we get that Google Gemini is now saying that “Abu Dhabi was officially back on the radar for Australian travelers on June 17, 2026. On this date, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) officially downgraded its travel advice to the United Arab Emirates (UAE)—including Abu Dhabi and Dubai—from a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” to a Level 3 “Reconsider your need to travel”” where my point of view is that this should have happened at least a month ago, as such we need to see what is in play at this setting and what are we not told? 

Yes, I do sound like a conspiracy theorist in all this, but consider what has taken place (like some president claiming 38 times that a truce is about to be signed) the fact that the global media is seemingly in the dark from the attacks on the UAE where we have been notified that from 9 April 2026, the UAE has intercepted and destroyed 537 ballistic missiles, 2,256 drone attacks and 26 cruise missiles fired from Iran and the only ‘setting’ that we are given that part of a plan Khamenei designed before his death, ordering that in the case of war with the United States and Israel, Iran will cause regional chaos across the Middle East, with the purpose of pushing their Gulf neighbors to pressure for a halt to the attacks, and as such there needs to be a clear warning towards Iran that this has to stop, I even gave the UAE and Saudi Arabia designed IP to scuttle whatever Iranian options there were to destroy its infrastructures, because that is what concerned citizens do to the enemies of what these citizens see as friends, we don’t bully or threaten, we just come to their aid with whatever we can and I gave them IP that would stop Iran, but that is neither here nor there. You see, it is about the media and the media has been playing a dangerous ‘hands off’ setting and now we see that the politicians were playing along, because as I personally see it, Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Assistant Foreign Affairs Minister Matt Thistlethwaite could have given that speech at least 2 to 3 weeks ago, so what was the delay? Was this the most they could delay that for? You might think I am a loon (actually, I am bat crazy), but consider the timelines. What attacks did Abu Dhabi airport endure? We know that at least three confirmed drone and missile attacks over the last decade. They were February 28th, 2026, January 17th, 2022 (by Iran backed Houthi terrorists) and July 26th, 2018 (also by Iran backed Houthi terrorists) so when you know of this, what was the lowering of travel advice not done sooner? I reckon that May 2026, when Etihad completely resumed its flight schedule would have been a good point lower the travel advisory, which was 5 weeks ago, but I get that (optional) pussies are bound to delay these settings. So we can say that the ABC news is a little overdue, but not due to their efforts. I think that several governments have to make amends to the UAE, but that might be merely me seeing this setting. 

So, you all have a great day and I (optionally affected by a little too much oxycodone) will do some dreaming of the Warner Brothers theme part whilst also floating on the Al Raha River a 300-meter peaceful lazy river located at Yas WaterWorld in Abu Dhabi. We dream what we can especially when we are in a winter setting in Sydney at 17 degrees, dreaming of 32 degrees sunny weather that is in Abu Dhabi. We do what we can.
