The thing about DML

Yes, as I said it several times DML is good, DML is strong and I would hazard a guess that with LLM it becomes a new world altogether. So, yesterday at Google I was given a challenge and I basically set up the the entire station in less than 15 minutes. But it was a group event and I was voted out and like a good geriatric boy I adhered to that setting. There was no regrets because Pradhan who won by one vote was pretty amazing. He programmed the entire setting in three hours and then we ran out of tokens and at Google subway tokens have no value, not even the New York tokens. He programmed it all in CLI and it was pretty stellar what he did. So here I am with my idea and I came to the conclusion that I could add a few settings and add it to my blog. So there are no bad feelings (he was pretty awesome programming it in CLI) and as we all adhered to the group setting, someone had to lose (that would be me) and my idea, which took a mere 15 minutes was ‘scrapped’ only to find some survivability in my own blog.

The setting was to create a setting making the Google earbuds more in any way possible. So here I was and in the first minute my mind when “Hold on, I could do…” and it was off to the races at that point. So I ‘created’ an App (attached at the end) where there are two settings. There are websites and news channels and they only thing it does is give the user an alert through their earbuds. So, I was thinking:

  • new content on my blog (which I all write myself)
  • Added content on Amazon, or added stock of a particular item on Amazon
  • Added messages on a specific website like a message 
  • Added content on IGN Board for a specific game

Then there are the news channels:

  • New materials on Arab News on ‘Egypt’
  • New materials on Al Jazeera on ‘Hajj 2026’
  • New materials on CNN on ‘Trump’
  • New materials on Reuters on ‘Jamie Dimon’

That last one was added as I saw a new apartment yesterday (which was outside of my price range) and the first thing you see when you get out of bed is ‘J.P. Morgan’ so there is that psychological slap in the face, but some might not think it is a bd idea, especially as the Sydney office is pretty nice to see.

And the DML/LLM setting is simple. It took less than an hour and the drag/drop stage is on page 5. It worked all nicely, a few kinks, but this is new terrain, so I am allowed to take my time. The app was more easily designed and I can to the conclusion that one tab needed to be added. You see the tab for Websites with 4 options, but I reckon that close to a dozen are needed. And the news channels the same, but I am still on the fence whether it should be one or two dozen options. The feed tab was missing at that time, so as each target sounds its primary/secondary or tertiary alert, you can decide to stop and see what happens, or you can do so at the next moment you sit down somewhere and as you don’t have to go seeking on the stages that you considered adding alerts, you go into the app and see the last alerts that the app gave shaded red for the primary alert, shaded yellow for the secondary alert and green for the tertiary. It comes from the stage where we have ‘essential to know’, ’need to know’ and ‘nice to know’ and as you click on that alert it takes you to the page that is linked to that. No seeking required and I thought that Google could freely hand that to its customers. Making the mission statement “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful” a direct setting for all users of the Google Pixel whatever version and using the Google earbuds. I think I did rather well in less than an hour and now we see that the adaptation of a DML situation on the world stage (still not calling it AI) becomes the birth of a new app glorifying the equipment of that company with the Big Gee (a BeeGees reference). And as you see, I can make fun of myself as well (favourite subject)  but when you wonder why people are failing their AI it is said that “Artificial Intelligence (AI) failures are instances where AI systems produce biased, harmful, absurd, or catastrophic results due to data issues, incorrect training, or flawed logic. Recent real-world breakdowns highlight the need for continuous human oversight, data governance, and cautious deployment.” So, as I see it, I circumvented that part of failure and gave everyone a tool that could be useful for all who don’t want to surf their mobiles and this app gives the user that result whilst that person is listening to music and seemingly running for their lives to their next heart attack (aka jogging). So you all have a nice day and I will hopefully consider another solution in the next 900 minutes.

Having faith

That is at times the setting, in this case the Hajj in Makkah is this year one of the largest ever. Arab News gives us ‘Hajj pilgrim numbers surpass 2025 arrivals despite Middle East war’ (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/2644824/saudi-arabia), and as Saudi Arabia still stands under attack by Iran, the religious setting goes on. I am one to state that Iran has no business to attack Saudi Arabia ever, and especially not in the Hajj season which is supposed to happen between May 25th 2026 and May 30th 2026. 

So as we are given “Over 1.5 million pilgrims have arrived in Saudi Arabia from outside the kingdom for Hajj, according to a Saudi official, exceeding the number of international visitors last year despite the war in the Middle East.” With the additional ““The total number of pilgrims arriving from abroad has reached 1,518,153,” Saleh Al-Murabba, the commander of Saudi Arabia’s Hajj Passport Forces, told a press conference late Friday.”So whatever the setting is, the faithful are giving us “For Fadel, there was never any doubt in his mind that he would attend this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia despite the war and a US government travel advisory. “Even if the war were still ongoing, I would not have backed out,” the 49-year-old US national, who asked that only his first name be used, told AFP. “We are undoubtedly in the safest place in the world,” he added, referring to a passage from the Qur’an.” It warms my heart that the convictions of a person who if faithful believes himself to be safe,  no matter what religion he/she practices. 

So as we are given “As more than a million pilgrims poured into the holy city ahead of the Hajj, the breadth and diversity of the global Islamic community was on vivid display, with many carrying paraphernalia such as bags and umbrellas showing their country of origin. “This is an opportunity that comes once in a life and I decided not to miss it,” said Ibrahim Diab, a 63-year-old German national, despite the “shaky situation in the Gulf.” But even amid the euphoric atmosphere in Makkah ahead of the Hajj, some pilgrims said fears about the war had troubled them ahead of the journey.” We see that it will take very little for the entire muslim world to focus their anger on Iran, Iran has no friends left and when the gulf states focus their anger on Iran, the people that come under attack might want to go to hell (or Jahannam), they might want to go there for a cool vacation until the dust settles. We get ‘More than 1.5 million pilgrims brave fierce Mecca heat ahead of Hajj’ from Al Jazeera (at https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2026/5/23/more-than-1-5-million-pilgrims-brave-fierce-mecca-heat-ahead-of-hajj) where we see “Pilgrims beat the heat by sheltering under umbrellas and drinking plenty of water as temperatures in Mecca near 47°C during the Hajj, which runs from 24 to 29 May. Saudi Arabia expanded shaded areas at the Holy Mosques fivefold since 2024, when extreme heat claimed the lives of more than 1,300.” I partially disagree with that. Yes, there were 1,300 lives were lost, but the bulk of that were people traveling without a Hajj permit, as such they were denied the facilities that the Hajj permit holders have and Saudi Arabia has no choice when they have to tend to over 1.5 million people as well as the fact that those without a Hajj permit were not allowed on busses and in shaded places for people to rest, as well as access to medical places on the journey. Still, for an organisation to get less than 0.1% of the casualties is almost unheard of. That is near perfection of a system that tends to over a million people in 5 days. It is a pity that no one focusses on that and the we take out the illegal Hajj participant, the serviceability of the Saudi System has a mere 0.02% casualty setting, I have never seen a system this refined and this close to perfect. 

But there is more to having faith and Muslims will see that as they take their 5 day journey. They are only required to do this once in a lifetime, but at times I wonder who have done more than once, and what is the highest attendance rate of a person? I could not find any numbers, but that was a mere curiosity of me. You see, the Hajj includes pilgrims walking a total of 40 to 60+ kilometers. Which is quite the trek even under nominal conditions. Yet, at 40+ degrees (Celsius) it is not a nominal setting, it is a brutal attack on the senses and as such the Saudi System with a mere 0.02% casualty is almost too unbelievable to consider. As such there is no doubt that those attending the Hajj is a faith level non muslims might find hard to comprehend.

Have a great day.

When war and politics mixes

That is the setting that I see initially, but there is a lot more. So lets go back to the message CNN hands us roughly 95.432 minutes ago. CNN (at https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/22/politics/trump-iran-national-security-meeting) gives us ‘Trump meets with national security officials as he weighs next steps on Iran’ where we are told “President Donald Trump met Friday with top US national security officials as he weighs a path forward on the war with Iran, a person familiar with the meeting said. The White House session — which Trump holds routinely — came as diplomacy grinds ahead in an attempt to secure a deal to end the war. It ended without a decision on what will happen next, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday there “might be some news a little later today.” “Even as I speak to you now, there’s some work being done,” Rubio said, talking to reporters on a trip to India. “There is a chance that, whether it’s later today, tomorrow, in a couple days, we may have something to say.”” So, am I getting that “Between now and whenever he will tell us that Coffee is better with cream?” Because that is something to say. As I see it, the American war room is filled with committed non-intelligent people. And when we see “According to Iranian state media accounts, Ghalibaf said Iran “will not back down from the rights of our nation and country – especially when dealing with a party that has never shown sincerity and in which no trust exists.”” And it is here that for the first time (ever) people are not seeing Iran as the big bad. How do you think anyone sees the United States as a friendly nation when people start believing Iranian media? But that is not all (at https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-says-hes-called-off-iran-strike-planned-for-tuesday-at-request-of-gulf-allies) we are given ‘Trump says he’s called off Iran strike planned for Tuesday at request of Gulf allies’ and we are seemingly asking the question “Which Gulf allies?”, so this article was given to us on May 18th, 2026 4:27 PM EDT. It is important to show the time given the timeline. And the article also gives us “Trump has been threatening for weeks that the ceasefire struck in mid-April could end if Iran did not strike a deal, with shifting parameters for striking such an agreement. Over the weekend he warned, “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them.” Trump said he was calling off the planned strike at the request of allies in the Middle East, including the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.” So we see the names, but personally I reckon that we need to see that same message in places like Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya and Arab News. We have seen to much Tom Foolery by the digital dollar driven media and most of us seek verification. Yet Al Jazeera gives us ‘Iran war updates: Trump warns of attacks in ‘two or three days’ if no deal’ on May 19th 2026, so the three days have passed. Whilst only 20 minutes ago (aka 1200 seconds) CBS gives us ‘Trump says U.S. is “getting a lot closer” to agreement with Iran’ (at https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-iran-war-negotiations-draft-agreement-strait-of-hormuz/) With the quotes “Sources familiar with the negotiations told CBS News that the latest proposal includes a process to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the unfreezing of some Iranian assets held in foreign banks, and a continuation of negotiations. Mr. Trump declined to provide specifics about the agreement, but said that “every day it gets better and better. I can’t tell you before I tell them, right?” Mr. Trump told CBS News in a phone interview. Mr. Trump did say that he believes the final agreement will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, adding that he “wouldn’t even be talking about it” otherwise. Mr. Trump added that the agreement would also result in Iran’s enriched uranium being “satisfactorily handled.”” But the CBS article gives me pause, you see words are everything and they give us the mention of ‘Mr. Trump’, but he is president. He is not my president, I don’t like him much, but he was elected and CBS should know this. So why the wording? As I see it, whatever delay we see would be working in favour of Iran, the more the words of President Trump are doubted, the more power Iran gains from all this, the weaker the United States looks to the world. I am getting the feeling (or perhaps illusion/delusion) that the Sun Tzu setting from the Art of War could use another chapter. In Chapter 13 we are given the 5 states of spies. Local Spies, Inward Spies, Converted Spies, Dead Spies, Living Spies. So what would be the case if we imply this to politicians. We always thought they were the ‘asset’ of that nation, but what happens when that is no longer the case? Because a politician serves up to three masters, Their nation, themselves, big corporations or their party. But what happens when their nation is replaced in the first instance towards one of these goals. What happens when they stop seeing their nation and their voters towards whatever happens to take the primary place in goals? What happens then? And as I see it, the media is too involved in servicing their need for the digital dollar to care on what seems to be happening.

So agree or disagree, it is fine with me. But when you look at it and consider that fuel now is at an average of $4.529, which is a little more than the $3.10 to was on 2025. So, what else are you paying through the nose for now and aren’t politicians meant to keep these costs of living down? The so called war on Iran didn’t really set that out did it? And still the nuclear setting has been “Iran does not yet have a nuclear weapon, but it has a long history of engaging in secret nuclear weapons research in violation of its international commitments. Western analysts say the country has the knowledge and infrastructure to produce a nuclear weapon in fairly short order should its leaders decide to do so.” As such the world was driven into some perspective war because ‘produce a nuclear weapon in fairly short order should its leaders decide to do so’ I am not saying that this reasoning is short, but the deception around all this has become debilitating. No one wants to see Iran with nuclear weapons, but we should all be told the exact truth (as I see it) and there is way too much deception in all of this. Deception in war is OK, it is the part of Chapter 13 that makes sense, because disinformation towards enemies is a employable weapon, but this disinformation has taken in a life of its own, it is now almost everywhere and it is labelled truth next to the actual truth and a lot of people (including myself) are finding it harder and harder to distinguish one from the other and the BBC gives us less than a day ago “But what is driving the US pressure on Cuba and how is it responding?” Because as I see it, that is the next stage. Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, Iran and Cuba? Did anyone really want to give President Trump a Nobel peace price? As I see it, War and Politics don’t mix, politics needs to present a clear message, from that war optionally derives, but that is a personal view I have and it might be wrong.

Have a great day. Oh wait, I am watching Harry Potter getting killed again. Repetition doesn’t make the story better or more, it makes the story the same story, no matter how it is reenforced. So enjoy the day and consider how the story is being told to you and what it is actually saying, because that too shapes the narrative that is in your mind, in all our minds actually. So have a good one, I am still hours away from my morning coffee, so I might look at letter 26 multiple times for a few hours (the answer is ZZZZZZZZZ).

My confusion

That is what I was burdened with. Arab News (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/2638181/saudi-arabia) give us ‘Leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan discuss military escalation in the region’, for me the confusion becomes, “Why isn’t the UAE involved?” And the story gives us “The leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan discussed the repercussions of the military escalation in the region and its risks to freedom of international navigation and the security of energy supplies in Jeddah on Monday, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The impact of the escalation on the global economy and the coordination of joint efforts to enhance regional security and stability were also discussed during the meeting hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and attended by Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Jordan’s King Abdullah II.” My confusion doesn’t end there. The escalations seemed to be set into alleged spreading discourse in the Middle East, Iran like a toddler, that it is denied a bigger seat at the table and a bigger slice of the pie is spreading discourse to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. To see the evolution of that thought I have two pieces of information.

In the first image we see the realist on the UAE, in the second image we see Arab News who gave us last week how it differs towards Israel.

However, the third image (from another source) gives us another picture. We are given 342 missiles and 1,699 drones for the UAE, 26 missiles and 413 drones for Saudi Arabia as well as 183 missiles and 87 drones for Qatar. I get the attacks on Israel, Israel attacked Iran, as such Iran attacks Israel now. But the numbers do not make sense to me in any traditional setting of warfare, even in the desperate setting we saw Iran in the past. This kind of warfare is about creating distrust. And as I see it the United States likes that a little too much. I reckon that the United States has its own reasons. But the damage destabilisation gives the Middle East is now too dangerous to consider. But Iran does not care, it wants a seat, a much bigger seat and it will take any risk it need to take. This is pretty much one of the reasons that I gave my IP (to destroy Iranian harbours, rails and roads) to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, because I personally feel that a strong and stable Middle East is at present one of the best things we could hope for in our world. 

To give us a better view on the numbers. The UAE got hit with the same amount of drones as the sum of all other gulf nation. 

So, if these numbers are correct (still a dangerous thing to ‘compare’ percentages), Iran hit the UAE more often than the attacking nation of Israel. Does that make sense to anyone? I get that they attack Israel, it attacked them, but the UAE never attacked Iran (to the best of my knowledge), a setting, which I initially considered to be an act of desperation to get the Gulf States involved in all this. Is now seen (by me) as a way for Iran to get a larger piece of the Gulf pie and a larger seat at the table. As such the United States is hitting Iran, but if my thoughts are on the money, I reckon that soon enough some miraculous setting comes up that is laughingly called peace and as the United States will give some repartee that they ‘won’ the war, the actual winner would be Iran, because they will end up with a much bigger seat at the table and they will push their hatred of Israel to the entire table and the United States will not care what happens to Israel, they get to live another month with the oil settings they end up with. 

Now, this is all speculation, but it fits the current data model and if that data changes, so will it debunk my speculation on this matter, I can live with this, because I got here without aid from the media, they are busy chasing their digital dollars. In all this, the setting that the world is better off with a destabilised Middle East is utterly wrong. It comes from conservative christians and jokes that have listened to and loved the Crusaders fables going back centuries. And we made the mess in this world ourselves, we let ourselves be fooled and bought the considerations that others gave us. But I believe that a strong Middle East (one without Iran) is our best option to regain some of what we all lost. As I see it, it will also exclude the United States, no matter when this president is replaced, it is now living under the yoke of minus $38 trillion (aka minus $38,000,000,000,000, or is it minus $38,000,000,000,000,000?) we throw billions and trillions around like it is nothing, but the real number in dollars shows the world how deep the hole is that the United States dug for itself. And consider that they had a proven crude oil reserve in the United States of 44.4 billion barrels and still they are digging themselves an increasing debt hole. And no matter what hypes we see, there is nothing they will do, because Wall Street lives in the now, and the next and previous quarter. This shortsighted setting only held those who think that they are in charge, but they are slaves to greed and ego. That is how I see it and I understand that I might be wrong, but this is where the data leads me. Above else I do believe in data, the verified versions above all others. So could I be wrong? Definitely, but what conclusions do you draw from the facts we are exposed to? And at this time with this administration the United States has, do you actually think that they will add anything to the matter? This president (seemingly) and his businesses defaulted on hundreds of millions in loans and filed for corporate bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009. Then we get the settings of Canada and Greenland which alienated his northern neighbor and they are now shunning the United States costing it billions in tourism and a lot more in various ways. It alienated Europe wanting to ‘annex’ Greenland and this president kept on insulting the European leaders who are now aligning with Canada and this collection of 28 nations is largely shunning the United States. Then he went to Venezuela and did it all over again and now we see Iran, which is apparently costing the United States The US war on Iran, which began in early 2026, cost an estimated $ 11.3 billion in the first six days and surpassed $ 16.5 billion by day 12, according to reports. Costs include high munitions expenditures, repairs to regional infrastructure, and accelerated military deployments, with over $200 billion in additional funding (source: Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)). So how much is the United States getting out of this? The question is slowly becoming what does the United States have to gain with a destabilised Middle East? I don’t expect the media to look into this, not with the digital dollar drive they have, but that might be my speculative mind. 

So you all have a great day and consider what harm destabilisation of the Middle East will bring us all and consider that President Trump has figured out one thing. The nation with the most oil will survive at present, so where does that leave Iran? Enjoy your day this day.

The bellows of a mad man

That was the thought I had this morning. You see, ABC gives us an hour ago ‘Trump singles out Australia as he lashes allies on Iran war support’ which I took personally as I am Australian. The story (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-27/donald-trump-says-australia-was-not-great-help-in-iran-war/106500752) where we see “The US president says he was “surprised” by Australia’s refusal to help the US secure the Strait of Hormuz, while again lashing out at NATO allies for their inaction. He claimed Iran was “begging” to make a deal and would face its “worst nightmare” if it didn’t agree to America’s 15-point ceasefire proposal.” This puzzled me, because on March 6th had stated that the UK ‘join wars after we’ve already won’, so why does he need help? Then he proclaims that “Iran was “begging” to make a deal”, as such it seems that no help is required. On other business, this year April fools day (April 1st) will be cancelled as President trump made every day seems like a joke (a bad one). So why does he need help and this is stuff he gave the world, so what gives?

And just a minute ago (actually 60 seconds ago), the Guardian gives us “Trump extends deadline to strike Iran energy sites Donald Trump has said he will extend his pause on his threat to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure for 10 days until 6 April, claiming that the request came from Tehran.

In a post on Truth Social, the US president claimed talks are going “very well” and repeated his attacks on the “fake news media” for reporting to the contrary (Iran has also reported to the contrary). Originally, Trump threatened last Saturday to would strike Iranian energy infrastructure if Tehran did not reopen the strait of Hormuz. Then, on Monday he said he would pause his threat for five days (until Friday), citing “very good and productive conversations” with Iran on ending the war (which Tehran dismissed as “fake news” designed to “manipulate” the oil markets). So, he’s now pushing that deadline back, again.” So, there is nothing in play? Whilst 18 minutes ago we were given “Strikes near Iran nuclear plant could trigger ‘major radiological accident’, warns IAEA chief The head of the UN nuclear watchdog has expressed “deep concern” over recent military strikes near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant – and warned that any damage to the operating facility could cause a “major radiological accident affecting a large area in Iran and beyond”.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general Rafael Grossi reiterated his call for “maximum restraint” to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident. The most recent reported strike took place on Tuesday night, when the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said a projectile had struck the grounds of the nuclear power plant. The IAEA previously confirmed a strike on 17 March. No damage to the plant was reported in either incident.” Which sounded odd, as the war was already won. Funny enough I had IP that could take care of the Bushehr nuclear power plant. I wrote it in 2021, on December 14th to be more exact. I did so in ‘Keeping my promise, part 1.’ (At https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/12/14/keeping-my-promise-part-1/), I even made some ‘civil’ IP available later that month to aid in the deployment and no explosives would be required. I admit that in this setting (you know, all the bombings) security would be increased. So I reckon that implementing it now might become a problem, but in stead of bombing it, my speculative mind turned the reaction into ‘kind of’ a bomb. I don’t like (or agree) with nuclear explosives, but as I saw it, I could turn all that energy back onto itself. It hasn’t been tested as there is a lack of ‘volunteering’ reactors, but to do this to Iranian and Russian reactors is OK with me (they might object though). The setting is however a little more complicated though. As we are given the words of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general Rafael Grossi, no one seems to be asking the question how much nuclear material does Iran actually have and how pure is this stuff, is it reactor grade of military grade? Seems like a basic question to me, even I as a non-nuclear physicist know this. 

So whilst we then take tally, we need to ascertain how much the United States has won the war, not only because he already needs $200,000,000,000, but because the Strait of Hormuz is closed and whilst (apparently) Iran is begging for a deal, we hear nothing like that from most of the media. So who did President Trump talk to, or was he talking into a mirror? And as I placed my IP online (making out freeware) I understand that I never get wealthy on this, the idea that some might just put things online (and rely on the goodness of some) I wonder where this winning streak is coming from and how delusional the governing branch of the United States has become. 

So, who is the mad man? President Trump or me? I merely state my ideas in a calm voice, he goes out on a rampage against anyone not worshipping him at the mere sight of him. That is how I see it and considering the entire Iran setting, you might agree. He has bombed Iran (with Israel) and whilst we see influencers and fake media telling is that Saudi Arabia and the UAE want to go ‘all in’ I have a few reservations against these reports. I reckon that it becomes an actual fact when we see this in the Arab News, Khaleej Times and/or Al Arabiya. At this point those are the only news sources I am willing to trust on Arabic settings. There is too much noise in all this and whilst I am exploring new IP that might give Iran a headache and hand to over to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. There is is a lull in my life. The blessed feeling of a temporary interval of quiet in my mind. I know it is trying to work things out, so I let it. It will alert me to any new ‘misgivings’ of alternate use of IP I  might be detecting in the corners of my eyes.

So have a great day to day. My plan? To optionally watch Sleepy Hollow or Donny Darko on 4K, but then I have always tried to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Oh, and it just occurred to me, should those lying influencers be made persona non grata? They call it “self expression on the freedom of speech” lying and misrepresenting the facts to gain traction in the following you gain is still deplorable and the UAE might want to consider making these people persona-non-grata. So as this blows over, they are denied entry to the one place they all want to be, because that is going to be the reality of things. Seems like a simple setting to me. Find the evidence and deny them access and Saudi Arabia might want to go the same way. Have a good one.

The other side of a thing

Arab News gave us hours ago (at https://arab.news/cy2eb) that Iran attacks Saudi Arabia unabated where we are given ‘Saudi Arabia shoots down multiple drones as Iranian attacks continue’ as such Iran twists the lies that they will not attack and still do this because of whatever brain figment they are concocting. But this time they are out of luck. The world has had enough of Iran and as they are are attacking muslim nations, not even other Muslims will accept the reasons they give, as such they are in a new untested ground. What happens when the Sunni Muslims have had enough of them? So as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar are attacked, these nations will now defend themselves and even Qatar has clearly had enough of all of this. So, whilst we see “Saudi Arabia’s air defenses have intercepted and destroyed at least 26 drones on Friday, the country’s defense ministry confirmed, as aerial attacks on Gulf nations persisted. Authorities in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates also said earlier they were also contending with missile fire and drone threats. The UAE defense ministry said air defenses shot down four ballistic missiles and 26 drones coming from Iran on Friday. Since the start of the Iranian attacks, the UAE has dealt with 338 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles and 1,740 drones.” So, whilst some will wonder what is going on, Iran is now slapping its neighbours around for being more successful than them. So, whilst Iran is hitting out against Aramco and ADNOC, we are seeing “According to the Saudi defense ministry, the majority of the drones were shot down over the Eastern Province, home to the kingdom’s major oil refineries, while one was intercepted over the northern province of Al Jouf.

The fresh wave of attacks comes a day after a drone struck a Saudi oil refinery on the Red Sea, and causing fires at two additional facilities in Kuwait, as Iran escalated its campaign against Gulf energy infrastructure.” As I personally see it, all the gulf states have had enough of Iran and I reckon that their retribution will be on their mind as Eid Al Fitr has ended and Ramadan was concluded. As I see it, Iran has no further concern for leniency and I handed both Saudi Arabia and UAE the IP to stop infrastructure to facilitate a three pronged attack on Iran. Land, Sea and Rail will be put under pressure with the setting that reverberates for months to come. I also handed them the option of destroying their airfields, but that solution is one that takes months to really impact and will not be seen for some time. Well, the technology was create pressure and whilst some airfields will be part of the United States Clambake, there is no quick solution there. So, whilst Saudi Arabia gives us that “In addition to the drones, Saudi air defenses have intercepted 42 ballistic missiles and seven cruise missiles over the same period, underscoring the sustained and varied nature of the aerial campaign against the kingdom.” It is clear that the Kingdom is under repetitive attack from Iran and as I see it, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has merely one answer to counter all this before another Aramco location will show a repetitive attack and damage, Saudi Arabia has several options none of them non-violent and all with the approval of the near entire world. And as I personally see it, that is how it should be. A bully like Iran should never be allowed to win, not even a small win. They need to see that there are consequences from attacking their Muslim neighbours. And my idea for hitting infrastructure is now showing that it was the right thing to do all along as the Australian Financial Review gives us ‘Iran says it’s building more missiles’ where (at https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/israel-launches-new-strikes-on-tehran-bowen-refuses-to-rule-out-changes-to-fuel-tax-20260320-p5qs8n) we see “The spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps insisted on Friday that Tehran was still building missiles, seeking to counter a claim by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that it no longer could. General Ali Mohammad Naeini also said the Iran war would go on.

“These people expect the war to continue until the enemy is completely exhausted,” the general said of the Iranian public. “This war must end when the shadow of war is lifted from the country.”” I wonder how their self-control gets away from them when their railroads and harbours are put out of commission. Because that too is the outcome of a war you invoke, when the harbours are put to pasture because the are no longer reachable and when your railways are no longer deal with the trains as their tracks are inoperable al whilst revenue and defense settings are merely collecting dust as they have no place to go, how will their armies react? Sun Tzu states that this is a demoralizing setting and he gave us that in 500 BC, as such the writing if that reality is over 2500 years old. It might show to be an issue when Iran remains oblivious to the impact of that, but that is the nature of things. When awe see that these effect come into ply someone in the military will feign ignorance and the impact of that will be seen all over the world. Perhaps Iran will learn, but as they instigated all of this themselves I really doubt that they will learn anything.

Have a great day, a mere 120 minutes until breakfast.

Alternative Indiscretion

That is the setting and it is given to us by the BBC. The first setting (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8jxevd8mdyo) gives us ‘Microsoft error sees confidential emails exposed to AI tool Copilot’ which is not entirely true as I personally see it. And as the Microsoft spin machine comes to a live setting, we are given “Microsoft has acknowledged an error causing its AI work assistant to access and summarise some users’ confidential emails by mistake.” As I see it, whatever ‘AI’ machine there is, a programmer told it to get whatever it could and there the setting changes. With the added “a recent issue caused the tool to surface information to some enterprise users from messages stored in their drafts and sent email folders – including those marked as confidential.” As I personally see it, the system was told to grab anything it could and then label as needed, that is what a machine learning programmer would do and that makes sense. So there is no ‘error’ the error was that this wasn’t clearly set BEFORE the capture of all data began and these AI wannabe’s are so neatly set to capture all data that it is nothing less than a miracle it had not surfaced sooner. So when we laughingly see Forbes giving us a week ago ‘Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months—for all white-collar work to be automated by AI’, so how much of that relies on confidential settings or plagiarism? Because as I see it, the entire REAL AI is at least two decades away (optionally 15 years, depending on a few factors) and as I see it, IBM will get to that setting long before Microsoft will (I admittedly do not now all the settings of Microsoft, but there is no way they got ahead of IBM in several fields). So, this is not me being anti-Microsoft, just a realist seeing the traps and falls as they are ‘surfacing’ all whilst there are two settings that aren’t even considered. Namely Validation and Verification. The entire confidential email setting is a clear lack of verification as well was validation. Was the access valid? Nope, me thinks not. A such Microsoft is merely showing how far they are lagging and lagging more with every setting we see.

And when we see that, is the setting we see (at https://arab.news/zzapc) where we are given ‘OpenAI’s Altman says world ‘urgently’ needs AI regulation’, and I don’t disagree on this, but is this given (by him of all people) because Google is getting to much of a lead? It is not without some discourse from Google themselves (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0q3g0ln274o) the BBC also gives us ‘Urgent research needed to tackle AI threats, says Google AI boss’, consider that a loud ‘Yes’ from my desk, but in all this, the two settings that need to be addressed is verification and validation. These two will weed out a massive amount of threats (not all mind you) and that comes in a setting that most are ignoring, because as I told you all around 30 hours ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/02/19/the-setting-of-the-sun/) in ‘The setting of the sun’ which took the BBC reporter a mere 20 minutes to run a circle around what some call AI. I added there too that Validation and Verification was required, because the lack there could make trolls and hackers set a new economic policy that would not be countered in time making them millions in the process. Two people set that in motion and one of them (that would be me) told you all so around December 1st 2025 in ‘It’s starting to happen.’ (At https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/12/01/its-starting-to-happen/) as such I was months ahead of the rest. Actually, I was ahead by close to a decade as this were two settings that come with the rules of non-repudiation which I got taught at uni in 2012. As such the people running to get the revenue are willing to sell you down the river. How does that go over with your board of directors? And I saw parts of this as I promised that 2026 was likely the year of the AI class cases and now as we see Microsoft adding to this debacle, more cases are likely to come. Because the greed in people sees the nesting error of Microsoft as a Ka-Ching moment. 

So as we take heed with “Sir Demis said it was important to build “robust guardrails” against the most serious threats from the rise of autonomous systems.” I can agree with this, but that article doesn’t mention either validation of verification even once, as such there is a lot more to be done in several ways. If only to stop people to rely on Reddit as a ‘valid’ source of all data. Because that is a setting most will not survive and when the AI wannabe’s go to court and they will be required to ‘spout’ their sources, any of them making a mention of ‘Reddit’ is on the short track of the losing party n that court case. What a lovely tangled web we weave, don’t we? So whilst we see (there) the statement “Many tech leaders and politicians at the Summit have called for more global governance of AI, ahead of an expected joint statement as the event draws to a close. But the US has rejected this stance, with White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios saying: “AI adoption cannot lead to a brighter future if it is subject to bureaucracies and centralised control.””

Consider that court cases are pushed through a lack of bureaucracy? I am not stating it is good or bad, but in any court case, you merely need to look at the contents of ‘The Law of Intellectual Property Copyright, Design & Confidential Information’ and that is before they rely on the Copyright Act, because there is every chance that Reddit never gave permission to all these data vendors downloading whatever was there (but that is pure speculation by me). And in the second setting we are given “AI adoption cannot lead to a brighter future”, the bland answer from me would be. “That is because it doesn’t exist yet” and these people are banking on no one countering their setting and that is why so many of these court cases will be settled out of court. Because the truth of this is that the power of AI is depending on certain pieces being in place and they are not. Doubt me? That is fine, and I applaud that level of skepticism and you merely need to read the paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” which was written by Alan Turing in 1950 to see how easy the stage is misrepresented at present.

So is there good news? 
Well if you want to get your dollars in court and you are an aggrieved party, your chances are good and the largest players are set to settle against the public scrutiny that every case beings to the table. And in this day of media, it is becoming increasingly easy as I see it. There is no real number, but it is set to be in the billions where one case was settled on $1.5B, as such there is plenty of work for what some call the ambulance chasers and they will soon get a new highway, the AI Chasers and leave it to the lawyers to find their financial groove and as I see it, people like Michael Kratsios are bound to add to that setting in ways we cannot yet see (we can see some of it, but the real damage will be shown in a year of two) so as some are flexing their muscles, others are preparing their war fund to get what I would see as an easy payday. 

A setting that is almost certain to happen, because there are too many markers showing up the way I expected them to show. Not nice, but it is what it is.

Have a great day as you are all moving towards this weekend (I’m already there)

Then there is that

I saw an interesting piece in the Arab News (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/2625701) we are given ‘Saudi firms sign agreements to develop Syrian oil and gas fields’ I see it as interesting as it is perhaps a first step to see funds ending up in Syrian hands which might start a healing process. So there is a lot more to be seen with “Under the supervision of the Ministry of Energy, four Saudi companies signed agreements on Dec. 10 with the Syrian Petroleum Co. covering technical support, development, and production in Syria’s oil and gas fields.”A war that lasted for over 13 years drained the resources out of that land (2011 – 2024) and with this step a first step towards recovery has been found. And with “The agreements signed include an agreement between ADES Holding Co. and the Syrian Petroleum Co., which defines the fundamental principles for the development, operation, and production of gas fields.” And with this step “This includes five gas fields: Abu Rabah, Qumqum, North Al-Faidh, Tayyas, and Zamlah Al-Mahr, and any other area agreed upon by both parties later.” I cannot say how much will be rolling in, but as I see it there would be millions a day rolling in when these fields become operational, millions that country needs to restore a lot of what was broken beyond belief. And with “Under this agreement, the Arabian Drilling Co. will provide platforms for drilling onshore wells, platforms for providing related maintenance services, as well as providing necessary maintenance services, operational support, and training and development of the national workforce.” The Syrian population might see a lasting prosperity, because there is no price that can be set on the training and development of a countries resources, the man power it has. It tends to have a lasting effect on what they can achieve. So that is all good news as I see it. 

All whilst the Guardian reports “While country’s return to global stage has filled many Syrians with pride, domestically old grievances threaten efforts to rebuild the state” with the added “Syrians from across the country gathered and raised their voices to celebrate the end of the regime, raising the revolutionary three-starred-Syrian flag and chanting for freedom. In a speech at the Umayyad mosque in Damascus, the man who was to become the country’s president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, promised to rebuild a “strong and just Syria” for all of its components, promising reconstruction for the ruined country.” That comes with an added surprise. You see “Assad and his family were granted asylum in Moscow in December 2024 and recent reports suggest they are living in quiet exile under Russian protection” but that also comes with the fact that Syrians are not to pleased with Russia at present and Assad might not have brought all what he had with him, as such millions are still in Syria and when the money runs out, Russia is likely to hold no future promise for themselves and other construction companies will be active, likely Saudi and optionally Emirati construction companies will get the benefit of this. Russia will have shut themselves out and as the oil reserves are brought to bare, countries who are now pushed towards Russian oil revenues are given the chance to switch to a new Syrian company, the now People’s Syrian Petroleum Company, or perhaps now aptly named the PSPC (a speculative thought) With this a first much larger step has been made in the lives of Syria, a recovery step that will set it to a much brighter future than they thought was coming to them, thirteen years of war tends to do this, but with this step a first big step towards recovery is made real. 

Some sources state that Syria had access to 2,500,000,000 barrels over and when the oil production of 95,000 BPD is restored there is every chance that Syrian lives will end up with a much better prospect and as I see it, Saudi Arabia has every chance to make this happen. Then there are the options that a restored Latakia has on trade and tourism with a direct setting towards a ferry service with Cyprus an Turkey, it could then also bring forwards other prosperous options for the Syrian people as well as invite other parties to evolve those steps. Like the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/08/stalled-justice-violence-syria-assad-one-year-on) recounts, there is a painful process still happening because decades of slaughtering and executing families in Karm Al Zaytoon Neighborhood as a part of the sectarian cleansing massacre by Assad Loyalists is not going away and as I have a legal education I would be pushed towards evidence, but where to get that? And I reckon that being part of the Alawite sect will come at a price at present, so there is that too. It will not all be roses and moonshine, but with the restoration of Syrian oil a large step towards recovery will be made. How this is done largely sits with the people now in power in Syria, but with engaging with Saudi Arabia to restore their oil production they will make the first steps in restoring Syria to what it could have been and might now be for real. 

A glorious day for Syrians, so you all have a great day. It’s Saturday here with only Wellington ahead of me, the rest of the world will follow me into Saturday in the next few hours, Abu Dhabi. (In three hours) is first to follow (as the first timeline I keep an eye on).

Dropped balls

There are several balls that have been dropped by a whole range of entities (cannot call them people) and there is a larger setting. 

First there is Bioware with an at some point appearing Mass Effect and I wrote about the options of a remade and remastered Mass Effect 45 where you get Mass Effect 5 as well as an upgraded and ‘corrected’ Mass Effect 4. I did this in 2018 (might have been 2019) but it was over 6 years ago and I get that AAA games take time, especially if they are done in Unreal engine 5, that sucker takes heaps of precision, especially in the setting that Mass Effect has (and their is need for precision here) and that is merely the first. Then there is need for pointing out several matters. You see, Google with whatever version they are working gives when we ask for “Intelligence UAE” (I was apparently looking for SIA) but I got 

Latest update:We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in the UAE. Tourist visas for the UAE are issued on arrival in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. For the latest information on traveling to, from or connecting through Abu Dhabi and Dubai international airports (see ‘Travel’).
(20 Oct 2025)

Now consider that the UAE is one of the safest countries in the world, as such, we have an issue. Yet when I ask for “UAE safety 2025” I get: 

The UAE is considered extremely safe in 2025, topping global safety indices with low crime rates and top-ranked cities like Abu Dhabi and Dubai, known for advanced security, political stability, and strong law enforcement. While generally very secure, visitors should still be aware of local laws, as some actions (like specific clothing) can be misinterpreted as protests, and it’s wise to avoid demonstrations and follow official advice, as political situations in the wider region can be unpredictable. 

Now consider that I ask this in 2025 and then try to question the first setting. As I have always said AI does not exist and the current Near Intelligent Parsing (NIP) that is managed by software engineers (programmers) and the setting we see here in Google is equally questionable by all who cater in the AI field. I also made mention of this in ‘And Grok ploughed on’ on November 27th (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/11/27/and-grok-ploughed-on/) a setting that many aren/t looking at, all whilst the people at large need to recheck everything some NIP solution is and gives, whilst most of these are quite literally riddled with bugs (also called programmer features).

It started as I was curious about Project Raven (I knew nothing of this about 24 hours ago), I am not completely dim to that setting as Wiki gives us “Project Raven was a confidential initiative to help the UAE surveil other governments, militants, and human rights activists. Its team included former U.S. intelligence agents, who applied their training to hack phones and computers belonging to Project Raven’s victims. The operation was based in a converted mansion in a suburb of Abu Dhabi in Khalifa City nicknamed “the Villa.”” I know that Wiki isn’t the most reliable ever, but at present it is more reliable then the press and the media, but what I needed to learn were names, namely Karl Gumtow and Cyberpoint. Basically as I am also looking for a job, and there was word that they were operating in Australia as well (which was proven to be incorrect). 

But there was a setting that places like LinkedIn never considered, the NIP setting of connected business and whilst we can call this a dropped ball, the setting is clear. These companies can never be found by some as the short sighted LinkedIn people are still on the page of “Are you hiring at present?” And they ask it of people who never hired in the first place, as well as flooding the mail system because that is a metric that they can measure (and it is utterly useless). 

But that setting is out there, so perhaps a competitor of LinkedIn could step in? Considering that Saudi Arabia is advertising that they have over 3000+ available positions (source: Arab News) and not just them, ADNOC is also hiring, but people need to know this and that is a filtered setting. There might be a reason that these two firms are merely looking for local staff, but as I see it, companies in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and perhaps France is looking for people they cannot find. As such as I personally see it, LinkedIn dropped the ball there as well. 

Then we get numerous places, outside of the gaming industry and the tech industry Some give us jobs like Healthcare (Nurses, Aged Care, Support Workers), Technology (Data Scientists, IT, AI/ML Specialists, Cybersecurity), and Trades/Construction (Electricians, Plumbers, Managers), so where is that knowledge going to? Let’s confront places like Canada, who is short on a lot of them and where is the offer for UK people, apparently they have an unemployment that recently rose to 5.0% (as of September 2025), its highest level in years, with 1.79 million people jobless. As such where will they go? If they do not want to go anywhere, that is fine, but in this stage, where people either accept jobs in other places or drown in rising cost there is a new setting, one that approaches the great depression (1929 to 1939) in that stage people would travel for days. By 1933, the U.S. unemployment rate had risen to 25%, about one-third of farmers had lost their land, and 9,000 of its 25,000 banks had gone out of business. People would travel to other states to get a job and support their families. It was not uncommon for people to hobo to California or Texas to find a job and send dollars home to keep their families safe. As I see it, these days are returning and people will Tavel all over the EU to get the same, or even go to the lands of opportunity like the UAE and see what can be gotten there. We aren’t in that stage yet, but that stage is just around the corner, especially for America as it is (apparently) “The US is experiencing significant job losses in late 2025, with layoffs reaching a five-year high, exceeding 1.17 million by November, driven by high inflation, interest rates, corporate corrections after pandemic hiring, and AI adoption, impacting sectors like tech, retail, and government, leading to a tougher job market with fewer new jobs and lower seasonal hiring.” I might seem low when the population if over 335 million, but that doesn’t matter to those who lost their jobs and these raking in the money handing out jobs (like recruitment company) and they are merely Direct Mailing all over the place to get their revenue. There is a larger need that is clear in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and several other places. 

As I personally see it, they are all in the mindset of “How can I get the same revenue for less work” instead of “How can I achieve more” because the second setting cleanses the Job loss setting and I am not saying that it solves everything, perhaps not even anything, but the lack in the mindset is the new prepared mind, which is currently not preparing at all.

And when you think that the US job losses are high now, consider what happened in 2026 when the impact of snowbirds is truly seen on the balance sheets in Florida and California. I reckon that in 2026 San Diego will face a massive job loss percentage and that is before the B&B that will go bankrupt in California as well as Florida hits US administration records. The Trump administration is losing more and more and as I see it, those waves will hit faster and faster in 2026. In the meantime there is every chance that Canada will be the next El Dorado, right in the middle of the snow as that is where fresh drinking water is found, America lost that setting too, because as I see it, no real investigation had been made for close to 10 years and whatever we see is a mere “Generally safe” and that it is the homeowners duty to check their wells. But no one is looking how the groundwater are impacted by chemicals and there is (as far as I can tell) no real investigation there. 

All balls that are dropped, some merely impact individuals and some impact whole population. All whilst places like Australia, Canada and New Zealand have larger settings to truly check these numbers. Did I show too much balls here? (Sorry, intentional grammar folly) The balls we see are not always the balls we care about, but they need to be shown to show that there is a larger failing and it is a very global failing. A setting we all saw coming, but it wasn’t our responsibility and it was not on our plate. Newsflash! The media isn’t doing its job and as such we need to have a wider look at things that COULD affect us, our families and our loved ones. 

Have a great day, except Vancouver and Toronto where I have to say “have a great yesterday”, my personal ever ready time travel jokes remain.

What happens when someone expands

That is the setting and Arab News gives us ‘How Greece and Saudi Arabia are redrawing the map of power’ (at https://arab.news/ytgve). This is not news for me, I saw this happens at least twice before and Greece is as good a place as any for the STC to expand as an second step beyond the few others and as they grow the European market becomes a reality. We are given “The relationship between Greece and Saudi Arabia, long anchored in commerce and maritime exchange, is rapidly evolving into a strategic alliance that spans energy, investment, technology and defense”, as well as “Digital infrastructure is emerging as the new trade route. The East to Med Data Corridor — a joint venture between Greece’s telecom operators and Saudi Arabia’s STC — will connect Gulf data hubs to European markets through undersea cables. Due for completion in 2026, it complements Saudi investments in cloud infrastructure and Greece’s ambition to serve as the EU’s digital bridge. When operational, it will transform geography into bandwidth, reviving the ancient logic of the Aegean and the Red Sea as conduits of exchange.” I initially (around 2020) thought that this would be done through Egypt and then Spain, and that it is now seemingly through Greece makes perfect sense and it won’t hurt the Greek economy one bit and mike make them renowned business partners all over Europe. And whilst we are given “Security cooperation has deepened alongside it. Since 2021, Greek air defense units have been stationed in Saudi Arabia to help protect critical energy facilities from aerial threats — an unprecedented deployment that underscores mutual trust. Athens now views Gulf stability as part of Europe’s own security; Riyadh sees Greece as a dependable partner with NATO experience and Mediterranean reach.” We need to see that the finance industry also benefits with “Greek finance is reinforcing this momentum. Eurobank, the National Bank of Greece and Piraeus Bank have expanded trade finance and advisory services for Greek and Saudi firms in energy, transport and technology. Their involvement adds institutional depth, translating political goodwill into bankable projects.” I have to admit that I am in the dark as to how that Greek finance horse is mounting up to be, but I reckon that if it fits the Saudi setting it must be decently good.

As we are handed the setting of “For Riyadh, partnership with an EU and NATO member provides credibility and access to Europe’s energy and technology debates. For Athens, alignment with Saudi Arabia amplifies its influence in a region where Europe’s energy and digital future are being decided. The Strategic Cooperation Council formalizes what business leaders had already recognized: the Greek-Saudi axis is not transactional but structural — a long-term bet on shared diversification and stability. The logic is clear. Greek forces helping defend Saudi energy infrastructure serve European as well as Saudi interests. The cables and inter-connectors binding the two nations reinforce both sovereignties. In an age of fractured supply chains, energy transition and digital rivalry, Athens and Riyadh are betting on connectivity as power.” And I do set this piece of writing to the views of Dr. John Sfakianakis, who is Chief Economist and Head of Economic Research at the Gulf Research Center as it was (as I see it) well written and for me that is shown with how easily and clearly it was written. Most economic pieces become a jumble of incomprehensible words after the first line starting with “Good morning”, this is clearly my problem as I lack an economic degree, but the expansion of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Telecom Company (STC) was bound to grow as per 2018, it made perfect sense and it makes even more sense now, especially with the administration that America is showing to have. Europe will be happy to find a non-American partner to start with and Greece is accepted as an EU partner and a NATO partner, so I expect a lot more to happen, especially as Saudi Telecom under 5G is over 700% faster than what America has to offer, as such the benefit for EU telecom corporations is easily seen, the picture below shows that benefit (an image from 2020). And this will foster a lot of benefits in the Telecom and media settings under 5G as plenty of corporations will see, the fact that the Saudi setting is over 300% faster then what the UK or German speeds have is just icing on the cake for the European companies in the equation.

Saudi Arabia is expanding and Europe is about to see the benefits from this setting. It might not be an entirely accurate setting, but it is what I see and I reckon that this will benefit China to some degree as well as the future of expanded media is hindering the America spin systems. For China it implies a two for one deal as this expands the BRICS needs in several directions. I personally see Saudi Arabia as sitting on the fence as a stage that benefit Saudi Arabia more than anything, it stops American blunt media streaks from going after them and it allows Saudi Arabia to get a foot in the door with Europe. I might be wrong here, but that is how I saw that news last May. With Saudi Arabia sitting on the fence the American media channels are seemingly in a holding pattern, which is beneficial to this setting.

So have a great day and it is about time I fly towards the city this morning (it is achieved by taking the train and drinking a red bull for breakfast) I wonder if my wings are as impressive as the ones Tom Ellis had in Lucifer. Does that make me a fashion bitch? Still yesterday breakfast in Vancouver, so I am a day ahead from them for now.
