TradeDelicious

Yes, a difficult word and not one I understand all the time, that blissful feeling that oozes over me comes with a shortage and it is shared by all with a weak understanding of economy (not something that happens to people like Mark Carney), but I (the one and only) an at times blissfully ignorant of the economic condition. As such, at times, I fear that ‘weakness’, but I do not fear being weak on this, as such I try to keep awake (as like, not sleeping) on the economic condition. And I was ‘made’ aware of an article in TradingView by the headline ‘Michael Burry Warns Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle Could Face AI Write-Off Shock’ where we see “Burry said net capital investment by S&P 500 companies reached 2.07% of GDP at June 30, a level he described as the highest in nearly four decades outside the period following the 2000 Nasdaq peak. He estimated that Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL), Meta (META) and Oracle (ORCL) have about $3 trillion in commitments and other exposures linked to AI infrastructure, including leases, construction projects and purchase obligations.” So, whilst we also see that these are the firms that ‘eloquently’ dismiss staff members all over the globe, the idea that 5 firms have over 3000 billion invested on fake AI settings (my personal view) is a little too shaky to consider and that needs to be taken into consideration. You see, I don’t care about Microsoft, they did this to their self, but I am concerned about Google and Oracle. They are the massive backbone of larger IT. And they are firms where I would have liked to have been part of and part of me still are. I deliver support and customer care and as such I believe that these two firms are part of what most of us really like. But I also see that if support and customer care diminish in these two parts of IT, customer care will really falter on a near global foundation and as such places like TradingView are making me aware of hardship coming our way and don’t take the words of Satya Nadella as some kind of gospel. A little less than 15 hours ago he basically proclaimed “Nadella thinks the AI industry is too self-obsessed to explain why anyone else should care. “I think we are way too self-obsessed as an industry about, look at us, how glorious we are,” he tells me. His prescription is to let the people using AI speak to its benefits and demonstrate that it creates economic opportunity for workers and the communities hosting data centers. More pronouncements from tech CEOs won’t do it: “Any amount that I say or any one of us say is not good enough anymore, I feel.””, I say that anyone claiming that a fake setting is glorious, I have said so again and again. And the ‘doubt’ (brought like a second hand car salesman in a championship voice) will not cut it and the people are figuring this out, right now, the world is figuring out that that AI is a sliding scale whilst more and more are realizing that this is over a decade away, so that issue with Trust is a hidden trap. He, in the near past stated that he “envisions a future where enterprises manage millions of AI agents working alongside human staff”, really? Microsoft cut more than 15,000 jobs across two major rounds in 2025 to reallocate resources toward massive artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure investments and 4800 jobs in 2026. That is massive and the claim that “An autonomous “always-on” digital teammate running on cloud servers that can work 24/7 without waiting for a prompt. Users assign it a name, role, and goal to track project decisions, watch channels, remind colleagues, and manage multi-step workflows” I reckon he got that ‘Always on’ from Don Mattrick and you know what happened there. It basically costed him the entire gaming branch Microsoft ones had and now that is basically gone. And then for the longest time he ‘proclaimed’ that “Microsoft and industry research project that more than 1.3 billion AI agents will be in operation across global business systems by 2028” and whilst we can see that 1.3 million (a 0.1% part is coming true, the idea that the 99.9% comes within the next 14 months is laughable to say the least. It is predictive speculation (which is nothing like predictive analytics) and he better adjust his point of view and I saw that even before he made that claim. I speculatively am considering that he has been sniffing the Microsoft glue too much. So as we all take notice of this, we also see that people Like Oracle have been footing the hardware and software bill and the makes sense, because no matter how I see things, even in predictive analytics, whomever holds the hardware and software will become undisputed rules of that field and that is where I see Oracle going, as such “Oracle has cut approximately 21,000 jobs globally (about 13% of its workforce) over the past year as part of a major corporate restructuring to fund massive investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and data center infrastructure” (source: BBC) makes little sense. In all earnest, if people are to embrace the data centre vibe, Oracle needs more, not less people. Because all these dim witted  IT population out there needs to come massively aware of the shortcomings of data centres and with that the people who are learning that trinary beats binary in that field will take massive undertaking and even as Oracle is one of two players to be aware of that (Snowflake will be the other one) we can see that the world will undergo changes and massive ones. As such I felt that my ‘expertise’ in training, tech support and customer care would be my asset when all this hit and that current population of ‘yay’ sayers will undo itself in a haze of confusion when the world gets the setting that they had been betting on the wrong horses all along. It basically would set me up for a better job in the currently near future in Canada, the UAE, EU or other commonwealth places. Because the truth is that when people are figuring this out, the people they fired at Oracle will be worth their weight in gold and I feel that I would be on the ‘good’ stack of people discarded a little too soon and the was making me happy. 

So to see the View of TradingView where we also see “Burry expects investment to keep rising and said write-downs could emerge around 2028 or 2029 if AI capacity exceeds demand. He compared the current spending cycle with the late-1990s telecom buildout, when heavy investment was followed by excess capacity, weaker returns and substantial depreciation. He also questioned Oracle’s treatment of customer prepayments and cited rising financing concerns surrounding its large data-center projects.” But consider that he states that “when heavy investment was followed by excess capacity, weaker returns and substantial depreciation” comes with shortage of staff and the ‘figment’ setting of 1.3 billion AI agents. The pure waters will require tens of thousands of support staff, because when that part goes, the global customer care and customer support stations will be empty of people and anyone not ready there will be requiring that group of people to be fought over and quite hard. And in all this, no one is looking at the requirement of IBM at that setting and it will acquire as many ex-Oracle staff as they can for the mere need of support for its IBM Bob (basically the IBM Watson AI branch) coding agents and that shortage needs to be filled up fast, because as we are given “IBM Bob Powers Faster Innovation, Higher Productivity & Modern App Development. IBM Bob Accelerates Development by Automating Complex, Time‑Consuming Works. Earlier Risk Detection. 100K+ visits in past month” Yes, there is a market for those who are putting in the time and the hours and that is where (at present) IBM will surpass all others and whilst I hate to see that Oracle is to be surpassed, they did this to themselves. But as I see it, the market is ruled by those who steered firm and clear past the ‘AI BS’ that the world is drowning in and IBM is one of the few who seemingly did this. So whilst Oracle, Amazon and Google will require strong readjustments before 2027 cones to an end, they will feel the heartache (preceding their own upcoming coronary) and I felt that as I took all settings of training, customer care and technical support in strides, feel that I am in a really kosher place. Whether this is in Mississauga, Abu Dhabi, Sydney or Stockholm. I felt that I would end OK is a pretty cool feeling and as I see it, Oracle and IBM are pretty good bosses to end up with. So I saw that other who saw this too, because they were actively hiring the fired Oracle staff members and that is fine with me. There is a whole world that will scream “Who can we hire?” And I am merely listening to the sound web for the right signals. And that is more than all he wrote. And the ‘end’ quote on “The remarks center on future capital intensity, with the impact depending on how quickly AI demand develops relative to new capacity.” Sounds right, but it is not. Well, perhaps for Michael Burry it either is or might be, but the larger setting is that whoever have the stuff to guide whatever the larger population of IT sweeps need, the stronger that firm will be and I reckon that Snowflake is in a decent place and IBM soon will be and after that I hope that Oracle reattaches the needs it has, but the others? They will become canon fodder and consider that someone (not saying who ;-)) claimed that someone claimed that 1.3billion AI agents are doing the work in 2028 and then fires over 20,000 people and leave someone to rehires and retrains them was a little of his game. But when you rely on your own marketing to tell you the story, that is where you are heading. But that is merely my own (and optionally wrong setting). So whilst I am ‘considered’ the false prophet and I have been stating the same thing for over 5 years, all whilst the ‘adjusting impressionable’ influencers adjusted their own story each and every wave and I am still in the setting that this AI (or super intelligence) is still over a decade away, all whilst my setting of advocated predictive analytics is now shown to be a correct view is now accepted by the IT community at large is the stage you should be considering and Michael Burry is seeing a different part, but this adjustment of over 3 trillion is coming and whoever is caught in that wake will face serious considerations and whilst I am still dreaming of a nice apartment in Mississauga or Toronto is seeing where the power will soon reside, is showing a massive setting that might come with hard work, but I reckon that these places will prefer a person who saw this in the first place instead of a YAY sayer who is adjusting their view for the umpteenth time is feeling like the proper boss to work for. 

So as I see it, my time of cakes, putting and a nice warm living room is about to see the light of near luxury. And it merely took my smarts, which is what any Uni graduate will like from the get go. Have a great day all.

Defining that new game

Almost two days ago I wrote ‘A really crazy idea’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/09/21/a-really-crazy-idea/) my mind did not sit still as it evolved and evolved a few ideas. You see, this game has real options as the hatred/disgust of the United States administration has not let up and with their ‘statements’ of a new deal with Greenland, which is basically the same one they had since 1951, the EU is added to this lovely set of people with a lasting disgust/hatred of the United States administration. So as such a mere 10% of 2 billion people would amount to 200 million optional gamers, making this idea slightly more successful than Skyrim has ever been. And a gamer like me finds that setting more than addictive. 

So whilst my mind was setting the data in my mind of events, sort of attack and impact set against the GDP of states and the GDP of the nation, all whilst we consider the impact that books and movies had in the suspense, terror and fictive fiction. Consider that these ideas were farfetched in the 70s, nowadays there is a reality of options and that is merely the start of it all. 

So when we see this and now realise that the United States have been playing loose with the security of its nation. Whilst the settings to rail and harbours have been shorted to the largest extend. As such finding a hundreds of books and hundreds of TV and cinematic approach to dangers to the way of life that the United States so ‘advertises’ we see a new setting of gaming and I like my gaming and we all love a high score, even if it is against a former ally. So, when we thing of this. How will the people in the Gulf States and Eastern Asia see this game? I reckon that billions will be playing it and that is where my gaming insight combined with BI and databases are connecting. 

So whilst we get the setting of a future game, I am wondering how much of a book I could ‘copy’ in narration before copyright protection shuts it down. So consider that this idea got a foothold from 1970 The Scarlatti Inheritance (by Robert Ludlum) where we saw “During World War II, the Allies launched a massive campaign of economic warfare to cripple Nazi Germany’s capacity to wage war. Because Germany relied heavily on imported raw materials, fuel, and foreign labor, the Allies targeted these vulnerabilities through three main strategies” and as we look now, the United States has pushed itself into a corner by alienating all the allies it once had and made a bigger enemy of China and the far east. As such I saw this setting and a game that they will love (the United States less so) and the setting of a think tank that wages economic war for the betterment of self is not an alien concept. As such there is a larger fuel feeding that could happen. Now consider the movie Wanted: Dead or Alive (1987), we all think that this is just a movie, but Gene Simmons (from the band Kiss) put a dangerous enemy on the map. And the Dutch Rutger Hauer only barely stopped him and now that the harbours are lacking in security that setting is not an inconceivable as seen. This is merely one movie and there are hundreds more and whilst the United States is lacking in several places. The impact of such matters could be largely disastrous (especially as the US Bank accounts are now minus 40 trillion) and that is where my gaming gene came into play, because the idea of another Evil Genius game but now set unto the impact of a nation might be just what my bank account needs (we all care for ones own bank account).

So, why so many options?
We all need a game that has replayability and is not set onto the same shape over and over again and whilst we take a turn onto what is possible, we could set the station onto sabotage of services, populations and a whole range of targets. The setting is that the more options (and optionally more after release) could entice a whole range of gamers into the field of this game. And as the game is set towards creativity, there are a whole range of other options to be considered (even some I haven’t figured out myself yet). 

And whilst we are considering how foolish I am, consider that President Trump created this stage himself and good business is where you find it and why be nice about that? When we consider the impact of animosity, consider the setting that the enemy of my enemy is my friend and as such there are people from Istanbul to Beijing who actively hate President Trump and his administration and as such optional donators to my bank account (my personal version of delusion) and we can go from there, because I put the idea online so that they can ‘feed my bank account’ with their gratitude. We all work with what we have and the only gaming entities that like my idea are in China, India or the Gulf states and this is my way to addressing them all.

But there are still a few kinks to work out and whilst people will look into IMDB for ‘attacks on America’ and the will have a few hundred options there and when we consider the books hundreds more will surface. A setting that is the start of it all. Getting this into a field with expected damage per state or as a country will require some time and they will see the impact that all this could make. The first hurdle being passed opens up the second stage. The stage of a fictive timeline of research, development and implementation. And in all of these cases no fake AI was required. What a lovely setting we see.

So, let the developer who might like a few hundred million games sold stand up, because even at $5 per games on mobile, this could make them a billionaire in a decently short amount of time. An amount at the expense of President Trump which he has no hold over and cannot collect on. What a lovely stage he created with his animosity. Oh, I just realised, there are plenty of Canadians who might try to get into this game as well and develop this and I just now remembered that Ubisoft Montreal shed a lot of members, they might want to get into this as well. Ah, what a funny setting. The people labelled’ to be the ‘51st state’ might want to make a game that ends the United States. The symmetry is overwhelmingly sweet. 

Have a great day today.

The delusion express

That is what I am seeing and people who claim that I am so wrong could be correct. I don’t think anyone has any faith in what this Trump administration is trying to do and whist we are given ‘What’s the US–China AI ‘hotline’ that Trump plans to pitch to Xi Jinping?’ The first thought that comes to my mind is “And China cares about what Trump will bring?” And this is the first feeling that evades from my regarding the Al Jazeera article. So whilst we accept the concept of “Washington and Beijing discuss AI hotline idea amid escalating competition and restrictions on advanced technologies.” There is literally nothing bringing hope on whatever the message from Washington is. This is the consequence of a tour gone bad. So whilst we were given 2 hours ago (source: The Guardian) ‘Houthis move to seize strategic terrain after Trump calls off airstrikes at last minute’ we need to wonder what President Trump has achieved in the last 200 days whilst he started to Bomb Iran, now its Houthi terrorist allies are given some kind of fictive shield to attack Saudi Arabia. As such China needs to consider who they could topple whatever Washington does and that AI hotline should be placed in a DeepSeek AI IT tech centre. So when he calls it, we could get the following conversation

[Trump] This is President Trump, we have an AI that has gone wild
What version of DeepSeek are you using?
[Trump] We have no DeepSeek, it is ChatGPT, I think it is the beautiful latest version
And why would we care what your fake AI is doing to you?
[Trump] Is this the AI hotline?
this line is hot, we are always helping our DeepSeek users, we have over 130 million active users.
[Trump] disconnecting line sound

You get the idea, because the only people thinking that there is a Fake AI issue are the non-Chinese and with “The United States wants a new “notification mechanism” with China to warn each other when an artificial intelligence incident becomes serious enough to threaten national security. The proposal, effectively an “AI hotline”, was discussed on Sunday during talks in New York between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, ahead of a summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington this week.” And the setting is real enough. Why would China worry of anything serious enough to threaten US National security? Think about that. The entire setting is a delusional setting and when we realise that there was a clear reason for me to call all AI fake, you might see where where this article goes. I reckon that the Russians are howling with laughter. And I reckon that China is on that same setting. There was someone who  who brought this up to the surface today.

Ben Affleck gave this interview 8 months ago. You can watch it (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmgKA1FmKdk) and it is what I have been saying all along and being how he states it is quite brilliant. I use way too many characters to say the same thing. And when you realise where AI is, you gets to see the clown setting that President Trump and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are trying to pose to you. And this setting is merely two comedy characters trying to grow a case and a seeing that does not now, likely not ever come into play. Because in all this the setting relies on a True AI and not fake AI and we are over a decade too soon for that and whatever you see anywhere, and likely the valuation isn’t likely to happen any day soon, because they are already in a fight to keep their heads above water and that is less and less likely to happen now, especially as Iran and their Houthi terrorists are attacking Saudi Arabia. So whilst President Trump is halting their ‘drop-off’ points for things that go BOOM, oil is now not reaching the places that need it to fuel data centres, as such the capital expenditure will fail to meet the settings it needs to be and as Ben Affleck stated, the next wave might be 25% better, but cost 400% more and the return on this investment will fail near immediately and I saw this years ago and because several points aren’t being met the entire setting of fake AI is faulty. I see options and they are great, but also based on data that is available and AI needs to go further and that is still at least 5 steps short of what some people call True AI. So in this setting President Trump is trying to sell an AI hotline?

What is he? The representative of Radio Rental? (People in the UK and Canada will get this reference), so whilst we are given “US Treasury Secretary Bessent said Washington had proposed creating a US-China AI dialogue, with particular focus on national security and a notification system covering “common goals and common threats”. “We think that, just like with any cross-border activity, that moving from opaque to more transparency between the number one and the number two AI powers in the world is very important,” Bessent told reporters after Sunday’s discussions.” I see a failing setting in several places and whatever this hotline is, it is not about AI. So whilst we think that there is progress with ‘OpenAI Urges Washington to Lead Global Effort to Create AI-Safety Standards’ (source: WSJ) and the text given is “OpenAI is asking the U.S. government to lead an effort with other countries to develop global safety and security standards for building cutting-edge artificial-intelligence systems.” It is my personal believe that Sam Altman and his OpenAI is now entering the setting that Ben Affleck described as “the next wave might be 25% better, but cost 400% more” and Sammy Altman cannot sell this, so he needs a governmental buffer, so ho can state something along the way “We are ready, but the government wants security buffers” this is what I expect to happen and they have trillions in the mix and the longer they can postpone this, the safer they are. And in all this the inactions towards Iran and Houthi terrorists is changing that premise as well, because until last week no one every expected that Saudi Arabia would halt its oil deliveries and that will be hitting all over the EU soon enough. Their option will be that Canada can make some of the deliveries, but I reckon that it cannot fulfill the 100% required (I actually have no idea how much Canada could deliver within the next month) so that is another setting the EU will ave to deal with.

I advise you to watch the Ben Affleck interview on YouTube, it is near brilliant. So am I delusional, or it President Trump delusional? I am leaving this in the middle, because in several cases it could be me and when you realise that I was right all along, you will see the first setting of this delusion. The idea that fake AI is ‘this dangerous’ that a hotline with China is required, becomes a joke in itself. Because DeepSeek has been accused of distilling data and all kinds of acts, all whilst there is a massive shortcoming on Validation and Verification of all these fake AI engines. That realisation gives rise to the failing to meet the return on capital investment and that is the part that relies on trillions. It is a neat little line that goes everywhere and at that point. What would you think of Sam Altman and their ‘worries’. This is the stage you are all seeing and some are merely reporting this news. This is not on the Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera, BBC, or CBC, but someone is fueling a fire in the wrong areas and you need to ask questions about that. 

Have a great day today.

A really crazy idea

That was where I found myself. After I have heard another dodo (an idiotic individual ripe for extinction) haven a go at me for these military IP’s, a thought came to me. Don’t get me wrong if these people were DARPA quality people, there would be a decent acceptance of that criticism. But they never amount to that. So an idea came to me and I honestly looked into a mirror and handed myself the most evil of smiles (just to check if I could pull that off) and I did. You see, at present the overwhelming part of the planet actively hates the United States and the Karen’s and ICE it houses. So people from Mexico, Canada, the larger Commonwealth and the larger EU actively hates Americans and I thought, why not cash in on this?

So we need a stage, the stage is Paris (because I can chose wherever I can stage a game) and the ‘culprits’ are the people that the United States have hurt (taken advantage of) for the 80’s and 90’s and they create a division something like a secret clandestine branch of the CIA known as Section 9, Department 17, but it is not the CIA, this CIA part was given in the Three Days of the Condor (that movie with Robert Redford) this is a technology think tank and it houses people from Netscape, developers from Japan who worked on Betamax (destroyed by US marketing for VHS) and that list could go on for some time and they see their way (like developers at Huawei) all destroyed by US greed needs. And so this think-tank called European Strategy Settings (aka ESS) is set into action. You now get two sides. First is to ‘acquire’ books that the gaming system hands you and these are real books (they exist) and these books are set into action and they go through development. But there is a catch here. These development costs could add up to a larger extent. So, you need to be careful what you choose, you might get nearly a dozen books before you can act on anything. So when you do you co for setting two. Setting two is implementation. Where you can go against the USA, harbours, infrastructure and all kinds of targets and your revenue is seen as 5% of the losses set against the USA. These ‘unnamed’ parties will dump that amount into Swiss bank accounts and undisclosed bank accounts in the Bahamas or some places like that. So you can come up with long term strategies that cost the USA bundles each month (and giving you 5% of all losses incurred) and from there you can go to bigger brighter (and to name a unique person) ‘more beautiful targets’ and here there is no going back. And as the map of the USA is showing the losses they are getting your value goes up.

It is a simple game with two stages and optionally a third stage. I haven’t figured out the gaming part of adding a Call of Duty event, but I did get to the setting of adding movies and a Final Destination part to release horror on the people of the United States and I think I deserve my day of sunshine for that. The realisation that Pew Research Centre states that “49% is holding an unfavorable view of the USA” that gives me an implied population of 3.9 billion people who actively hate the United States. I reckon I can find that at least 20% as a gaming population, which gives me over 720 million gamers and that is a slice of gaming heaven that I could address with this. So as we go through the books (and fake AI is pretty good at mulling over data it has) there would be plenty of books that could be set into motion. So then we get the underlying setting of analyzing those books (also fake AI drive) and that gives us the stage of gaming. So you find up to 20 books that needs evolution and there is a gaming setting, because this game relies of gained revenue, so there is a side to the decision making process. Then you get the development of these ‘weapons’ and that is also done in the game, but the game decides and it has a large database of settings but the it also relies on time, because every weapon relies on timed development and that gives you the setting that infrastructure weapons (like hacking modules) have less cost and less time, but they are easier to counter. And as the game goes into that part we have a few ideas (but I haven’t worked out the details yet) and this is in short and sweet the idea that floated in my mind. So, what is wise? There is enough to get this into a mobile game and China has billions invested in mobile gaming and I tend to go where the market is, as such the Chinese will readily accept this setting. With a population of 69% to 70% (around 985 million to 990 million people) being of a working age and they would like nothing better to show them how much hurt they put on the USA, I reckon that even 10% of them gives us almost 100 million gamers. And that is a lot better than Skyrim ever had. So we have to thank President Trump for getting the world so against the United States (I am a big fan of Irony). But the setting was gained in a mere day, well, actually just a few hours and this is how real creativity works and it comes from adjusting ideas and form them into a new setting. 

So whilst some will think it is a silly (read: stupid) idea, consider that 1.4 billion Chinese might not think it so stupid and that is where we get the revenue we all crave (I am no different) and that is where gaming takes us to the unknown corners of the mind and as a lot of this is ‘pampered’ by AI engines, it will merely take a DeepSeek app to get the materials we need and shape it into the gamingDB of this game and as it is merely feeding the game aggregated results, there is no objection (apart from the United States) and the gamers want a genuine high score. Doesn’t that setting suck for the United States?

A mere idea that is as crazy as it sounds, but that is what they said about penicillin in 1928. 

Have a great day all, time for some carrots and rice for me today.

Reverse CandE

That is what I am postulating. The setting of Cause and Effect. It is slightly better than the butterfly effect, which makes no sense in the chaos theory as their flapping wings will not explain the volcano’s on Indonesia or the drowning buffalos in India. But cause and effect, sometimes ‘explained’ away by ‘post hoc ergo propter hoc’, which is nice, but I also support the fallacy in all this that this is assuming a causal link simply based on the order of events in time. Time is never ever a proper setting, even though it is the one part we currently cannot influence at present. But the setting of cause and effect is clear and I have been reversing this for the longest of times, so I took the effects I saw and went back to the cause that caused it. It is a flawed setting, I know that because it depends on how much data I have, just like a fake AI, it can only postulate on data it has and draws a blank when that required data is missing.

So here we get to the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/17/trump-calls-eu-offer-to-canada-associate-membership-laughable-threatens-tariffs) where we see ‘Trump threatens to stop trading with EU over ‘laughable’ membership offer to Canada’ and some will laugh at his delusions, but I am looking deeper than that, is this another nail in the coffin  called the United States of America? I have supporting evidence all over my blog in the last two years. You see, that president is scared like a little bunny, because he is about to piss of all the members of power in Wall Street and there is no way they will go along with this. The earlier marker which was given to us yesterday by the BBC with ‘Trump hits out at US central bank’s decision to hike interest rates’, is saw this a lot earlier when I mentioned and compared the dangers of the United States with a setting in 1923 called the hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic. You know that time when you paid 50,000 Deutsch Marks for a cup of coffee and the United States is heading in that way (if it was up to this US administration) but the setting we are looking at now is given to us by the Guardian. So when we see “US president responds as Mark Carney seeks to move closer to Europe and diversify defence ties”, so as we see the delusional settings of the United States. We really should be looking at the counter settings. As Europe will also be setting the absurd need for oil (because go the Gulf States and the Iranian/Houthi terrorist settings) Europe and the EU have optionally secured their oil needs for the near future. I reckon that once the gulf states secure the routes they need to have and by law were allowed to have, they will deal with Iran and its terrorist links in not so subtle a way. 

And as President Trump is seen like a one trick pony and his ‘solution’ to everything “The US president said that if the EU moved forward with the plan, Washington could impose “very serious tariffs or stop trading with Europe”. He added: “If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe.”” But here he misjudges things. You see, no one wants to do business with the USA and when you do not deal with the USA and completely shuts it off, there is 0 trade and as such 0 tariff. And the setting for the EU and Canada are clear. Canada secures a lot more trade and perhaps not in all fields, but the oil will make up for a lot and whilst Canada secures additional trades with other Commonwealth parties, Canada will be better off and as such so will the Commonwealth and the EU. 

So then we get to the juicy steak and with “Ursula von der Leyen said: “This is a partnership not against anyone else, but for our common strength. In short, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.” In response to Trump’s comments, France’s Europe minister Benjamin Haddad said on Thursday that Washington had no power to veto EU decisions.” And with this the second hurdle Is broken, as Washington never ever had powers to veto the decisions of the EU, the view of delusion is clear. So whilst there is every chance that Canada selects the Gripen, and the EU selects Canada, we see in this economy of turmoil that Wall Street will either select a new president, or be washed up. Either way works for me and I worked from the effects we see to the cause that caused it all and it is not a pretty picture, because as I see it, others have seen this too and the population of the United States will face a massively harder time as costs will rise to surpass the amounts these people can afford. As I Personally see it, it will be a lot harder than the settings of the Great Depression (aka Wall Street crash of 1929) and it will be at least twice as bad now. It will be a lot worse because the options of getting something by paying 10% is no longer possible. The banks will be broke, the corporations will be broke and this was enabled by that fake golden age of AI, Consider that the elements that we are given are:

Microsoft has committed to a massive global multi-year CapEx cycle, nearing $190 billion, to build out the data center capacity required for the AI economy. But the reverse is also seen. Data sovereignty in the EU and the commonwealth will shut them out of massive amounts of data and this is already happening, but the ‘investment’ cycle is still held in high esteem. So what happens to a data centre that has no data, or basically much too little? Now Microsoft who is valued at 3.70 trillion will not worry about that 190 billion, but the grease wheels expect return on investment and that is not coming into their books until late 2035, so what happens? Google and IBM are in a much better place, but Amazon and Oracle will shed blood and plenty of that and this will be going on until the late 2030. And all alt the US economy needs to pay poverty a trillion dollars in interest. There is no question about how great the US economy is, it is not and someone has to pay the piper. That is what I saw over two years ago with the little settings that was clear and now Wall Street will need to adjust the sails and they will sail away from President Trump, he is now a clear and present danger to the US economy. Jamie Dimon and David Kelly (the fat cats of JP Morgan) had already raised alarms in October 2025 and matters have only gone from bad to worse. The world at large is shunning the US as an ally and an economic partner. Optionally only Japan remains, but they likely have no choice in that matter.

So what are the causes for the United States? I would say delusional settings. You see, what gave the United States the idea that they could veto whatever the EU decided on? What gave them the idea that Canada would ever be a 51st state and what gave them the idea that the Gulf States would sit by whilst Washington renamed the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of America? What possessed America to take lead in Danish territory (aka Greenland)? There are all matters that are effects of a case that is simply put that the United States is scraping the bottom of their economic barrel. They are out of funds and now basically out of time too and the midterms are about 8 weeks away and the current president is now too afraid to face the American public and they have had enough of him. The cost of their survival is about to be shown in real numbers and that is what this president fears. No matter how much he promises them for their vote, they are now seeing that he cannot afford anything, so they get nothing. Simple cause and effect.

Have a great day today and consider taking time to enjoy a decent breakfast and a coffee today.

The race is on

It is not a simple race. It is either the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia survives, or it is destroyed by terrorists. 8 hours ago, Politico (one of several, at https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/12/saudi-arabia-has-few-options-as-it-faces-mounting-threats-from-iran-and-its-allies-01073550) gave us ‘Saudi Arabia has few options as it faces mounting threats from Iran and its allies’ and make no mistake, all this was started by the United States and Israel. All whist the Gulf States denied the United States access to their terrains to engage in hostilities with Iran. As such I felt perfectly validated giving the Kingdom some of my military IP. And when we get the subtext “President Donald Trump seems reluctant to widen an already unpopular Mideast war as Houthi rebels threaten a crucial Red Sea shipping route.” We realise that the United States is done for. They cannot now, nor ever destroy Iran (even though I punished methods that are 98% cheaper) the world its realizing that the US is no longer an ally to rely on, it is not even an ally anymore. No matter what it is (basically less than nothing) it was bullying its way to Canada, Greenland and Venezuela. And whilst it’s limited victories are highlighted to include the name ‘America’ in places where it doesn’t belong (like the Gulf of Mexico, or Lake Ontario) or the name Trump added to the JFK centre and let not forget adding a tacky ballroom to the White House and the disasters aren’t letting up any day soon. So when the Iran clambake started on February 28th 2026 we get “Media trackers and network analyses (such as CNN) have documented at least 38 instances of Trump declaring that a deal to end the conflict was imminent” which makes the United States the laughing stock and the setting for Saudi Arabia who is (along with several countries in the middle) caught caught between q rock and a case case. And Iran is exploiting it for what it can and now the terrorist allies of Iran see their goal clear to cash in on this. Among them the Houthi terrorist and whatever is coming from Iraq. So when we get to “Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, has spent years trying to build a very different Middle East, with wide-ranging social and economic changes aimed at transforming the ultra-conservative kingdom into a global business hub in a more prosperous and integrated region.Those efforts suffered major setbacks after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which triggered one war after another. When the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, it responded with missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, and effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, bottling up their oil and gas exports and jolting the world economy.” So whilst through Hamas Israel has a decent case for attacking Iran, the United States seemingly has not. We can all agree that Iran is a terrorist state and a response to their hybrid warfare was necessary from an Israeli point of view. That much is clear, but Iran fearing for its life got all the others engaged, to muddy the waters and hoping for some islamic unison, all whilst the other gulf states would prefer a union with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and not with Iran. And whilst we think it is Iraq, the Deutsche Welle gave us 3 hours ago that the actual culprits are Iranian working from Maysan. As such it is becoming more and more clear that (as some would say) that the only good Iranian is a dead one and whilst I see that destroying the infrastructure is valid, I handed the IP tools to Saudi Arabia to make it happen. I have a different setting towards the Houthi terrorists. There I am in favour of eradication. The Yemeni House war was instigated by Houthis and it lay waste to Yemen in the last 12 years. As such there is no other option. The time to talk is over as I personally see it, and I had no issues giving my military IP to Saudi Arabia. 

So when we get the response “Trump on Saturday said Iran “probably” was behind the Saudi pipeline attack. Asked about a recent call with Saudi’s crown prince, he said: “He’s a good friend of mine, and I can just say everything’s going to work out fine and dandy.”” We can see what kind of a joke this United States administration has become, and when we see the additional “Trump shrugged aside the idea of increasing military pressure, as some U.S. hawks have suggested. “Maybe I don’t do that because of the election,” he told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

Ratney, the former U.S. ambassador, said it would be difficult for the Saudis to achieve their objectives without consistent U.S. support, which they had at previous times while fighting the Houthis. “My understanding at this point is the White House is not enthusiastic about getting involved,” he said.” We get to see first hand what a losing party this administration has become. And with the “It would be difficult for the Saudis to achieve their objectives without consistent U.S. support” we see what they are made of (and it is not good) all whilst my methods (whilst unproven) were proven in France during WW2, and it takes away 98% of the cost, so what stopped them? I saw a way to include the harbours stopping Iran from progressing in a way they currently are and my personal sight is that the Gulf states invite China to become the real ally that they need. For China it would be a big win, because it takes away the options for the United States and they will solely need to rely on their own oil, all whilst they are close to 2 trillion in deficit and that is likely to end the economy of the United States. It then allows for a union with the UAE and Canada (optionally the whole Commonwealth) taking the United States out of nearly all theaters of commerce, collapsing their tariff stage for over 90% (I hate the term 100% loss), there are always the fools that are smitten with bully tactics and there will be some left, even though most will see that it was basically the last tactic the United States has left.

Am I right?
That is a fair question to ask, the Saudi setting requires assistance, even if it is genuine concern by trustworthy parties. As I see it, the United States is no longer worthy of that title and perhaps there is a move that Canada could make, because they are real allies and they have real economic gravitas, but I cannot answer for them as I am not Canadian. The silence from the other Commonwealth parties is too deafening to be taken seriously. I believe that the UAE and Saudi Arabia should unite their efforts. I have always believed that and I still believe that the gulf states could unite (without Iran) with Saudi Arabia and the UAE heading that table. But this is speculative, not even presumptive. It still needs a direct action against Houthi terrorists and the other nations need to see this, because no matter how it ends, Houthi terrorists will come after all the other domains (optionally with Iranian support) and that is what it always was working towards. And at that point Shia muslims will destroy Sunni muslims, or make them inferior and whilst Makkah and Medina are the real prices that they covet, it will transform into the need of all gulf nations under rule of Shia states. That is merely my speculative view and even I wonder if I would be that correct. It feels like it, but a ‘feeling’ is not ever valid evidence in the matter. 

So have a great day today.

Life in turmoil

Im not sure where I stand at present. I am seeing all kind of settings. X is now following me (not are if that is real or some scammer) I get unwarranted direct messages, who apparently vanished a little later and I am seeing populist statements on all kinds of social media. Not sure what to make of it. Still getting shafted by LinkedIn/Microsoft they told me I was looked up twice last week, whilst I can see three directly and I know of two others, so 5 (I reckon more) looked me up, but that LinkedIn/Microsoft setting told me two looked me up, So is this an example of fake AI, or is this a sales technique and if it is a sales technique it is a bad one, because as I see it, there is a clear need for a Chinese version of LinkedIn. Apart from that, Google missed the pole by a mile, and whilst at least two called were lost as my phone was apparently in Do Not Disturb, all whist I have never ever used that mode. And what I had last wee I had today again. My new Google Pixel 11 now switches on WiFI all whilst I never invited it to do so (as such Sundar is basically enabling cybercrimes). As such a word of warning to Sundar Pichai (the big boss there) My Google Pixel 11, is now less functional than my Google Pixel 9 ever was. There are a few issues with my Watch 5 as well, but I am not sure if that is an app setting or if it lost functionality against my Watch 2. These guys are so into ‘innovation’ mode that the basics are passed over. I think it is disgraceful and you need to clean up your settings and soon. There is now a decent setting for Huawei to come on in and take over market share. I have been a Google phone fan for a long time (this is my third one) but at this speed I am switching to Huawei the next time around. 

So my life is a little in turmoil, because if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and I need to fix a lot at present and that is never good for my peace of mind. In addition to all this Al Jazeera gives us ‘Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia could activate defence pact, Pakistan says’ as such there is less stability coming our ways and whilst we get the Guardian giving its a few hours ago ‘Houthis seize key Yemeni port of Mocha in drive to take control of Red Sea coast’ there is now an option for Iran to resupply Houthi terrorists, as such I think there is a decent setting that the Mecca defence pact will see activation. I am happy that I gave my harbour solution to Saudi Arabia as well, as such they could shut it down completely (and leave the Iranian smugglers out of options. But the setting isn’t that Houthi terrorists got a harbour. It becomes who else is supplying these Houthi terrorists, because as I see it, the map is all wring, this cannot be a simple Iranian ploy, or at least not only. There is another player in these town aiding these terrorists. 

But what is really happening there? As I see it, there is too little and Iran cannot be in this alone, someone is ‘aiding’ the Houthi terrorists. So as I see it, the defense pact that is in place might be more important than anyone thinks and It is my believe that this pact should aid Saudi Arabia. There is a simple setting to this. The Wall Street Journal gave us ‘Trump’s Top Advisers Confront Possibility That Iran War Lasts Through End of Term’ less than 20 hours ago. And after President Trump has given the world that ‘he’ won that war over 66 times, there is a smallest chance that the Iran war is one the United States might lose and at that point Saudi Arabia and the rest of the gulf states might get the impact of that shown at their borders. As such the pressure needs to be removed between the Yemeni borders in the form of Houthi terrorist and this defense pact might be the solution. As I see it, Saudi Arabia cannot count on anything coming from the United States. At Present we see that President Trump is offering $5000 dollars to anyone if he winds the midterms. That could be up to 200,000,000 time $5000, which boils down to a cool trillion and I am not certain if the coffers of the United States treasury could validate this. This is beside the point whether the would be legal, because as I see it, in the Commonwealth it is illegal as it is illegal in plenty of civil law counties in Europe, but I am not versatile in US Laws, but I reckon it could be illegal there too. So what do you do with a president who advocates optional illegal acts? As such the Mecca defense agreement might be what Saudi Arabia needs to rely on at present. 

As such I am in turmoil, or at least my life is, things go wrong all over the place and the people we rely on are nowhere to be seen. I am partially appalled with the politicians in the United Kingdom and Australia to stay silent in case of the trade war between Canada and the United States. It is me personal believe that these commonwealth nations need to speak out in favour of Canada. And whilst Rolling Stone steps up their game by giving us ‘How Mark Carney became leader of the free world by standing up to Trump’, it seems that Australia and the UK remain largely silent and all along Trump gives us some news on beating up Mark Carney as a Hockey player (all whilst others give us news that unlike PM Carney, Trump cannot hold himself on the ice on skates) and Trump is giving us the entire North America, and Greenland drenched in the US flag. And there is limited news on all of this. That might be the most unsettling side of it all. As I personally see it, Carney is the PM of the entire Commonwealth as I see it and it is my personal believe that PM Carney is due a massive knighthood (Order of the Garter) from Charles III, King of the United Kingdom I reckon that he is worthy of this in the very least. So much turmoil and I am not the only one saying this, there are more that give similar views. But as I see it, the politicians in the Commonwealth remain largely quit. It is embarrassing to say the least. As such it is my delight to wave of some of that stress by slapping Sundar Pichai silly (with words) and it is the smallest of stress settings that I am seeing at present. But tomorrow (which is already now) so a few hours form now, the sun might come up and Google might fix a few things, because I paid good money ahead of schedule (my phone could have survived another year, my Google watch 2 probably not) So as I see it, stress is what we make, with additional help form the surrounding settings we see. 

So even if my life is in turmoil, I wish you all a great day.

Where the mind boggles

That sounds like quite the assignment, but it isn’t. It merely connects to the sides not looked at. I for one did not consider that the story for the last two days was by itself, but it fits the setting of the TV series Engonos I was creating over the last year. More of a setting towards the end of season one. It bares consideration, even though there are a few hiccups. One of them is the massive neglected way that Final Draft deals with copied text, It is a large headache and I was considering what to do and next is the setting that I might have to re-see the option of upgrading down the line and for now do it all in pages. Personally I think that this makes the matter worse (for now) but that inkling was a hopefully unexpected surprise on the horizon. Still there are options to consider. 

Still at present I am looking at what the world is throwing at me and it is a feeling. Because that is all  have to go with. There are a few reasons I do not trust the numbers that the United States throws at us and I will explain the setting that I have. First there is ‘The US economy added 162,000 jobs in August, more than double expectations’ (source: CNN) it shows that Leisure and hospitality added 62K jobs, in September? The summer is at an end and there might be a reason, but it feels like someone is passing the message that summer in the USA was not wasted, all whilst the international travel numbers have been down. Then we get (from an unnamed source) that ‘Trump Threatens Trade War on Deficit Countries If Fed Refuses to Cut Rates’, which is the bully tactic we expected to see, but a trade war on condition that the Federal reserve doesn’t cut rates? So if my accountant doesn’t hand me more money I am going to bully my clients? That is weird, isn’t it? So as we see: “President Donald Trump issued one of his most sweeping demands yet to the Federal Reserve on Friday, September 4, 2026, calling on the central bank to slash interest rates to the lowest level of any country in the world following a stronger-than-expected August jobs report that added 162,000 jobs and significantly exceeded forecasts, while simultaneously threatening to halt trade with every country the United States runs a trade deficit against if rates are not cut. “Great jobs number just announced, breaking all estimates (except mine!) by double and triple,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday, adding: “EMPLOYERS ADDED 162,000 JOBS IN AUGUST. Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago!”” But there was a reason for showing you this. You see, yesterday several sources gave me ‘Trump says will ask Europeans to repay US for aiding Ukraine’ which is something that wildly borders the insane. And as Europe is starting to realise that Russia could be moving towards Europe, there are a few sides to “US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he will ask Europeans to repay the American aid provided to Ukraine under the administration of his predecessor Joe Biden.” And there is the upside that he will be absent at the 9/11 memorial because there is every chance that people will lynch him there, just a thought to consider. You see, all this is making sense when you consider that a $40,000,000,000,000 debt and its pending interest bill is strangling this administration. We all see the bleak words “A nation cannot go bankrupt, it could always print money” but Germany did that in 1923, it was a nightmare slip unlike any German had faced before and 99% of all retirements were wiped out in a day, making their entire retirement less valued that a loaf of bread. The other 1% lost their value the day after. That is the setting that this US administration is heading for, because that is a bleak reality of the setting we see now and whilst there are people calling me crazy and they are ready to call me insane, but watch what happens, this setting is nearing its final battle. All this and the evidence (as given) is accepted by too many people as a “at no cost to the USA” which is already crazy as hell, but the headline ‘The US and Venezuela: a century-old relationship drenched in oil’ given to us by the Guardian with the subtext ‘Trump ally defends Venezuela oil deal amid ‘gunpoint diplomacy’ criticism’ and the additional stage of ’Nobel laureate Machado: ‘Illegitimate’ Venezuela regime has no right to strike US oil deal’ where questions needed to be asked of that Venezuelan regime, because the actions of an illegal act come to mind, but that is optional not on the US side. If the US is able to make a questionable political act there is merely the question if it was illegal and under that guise the UN would have to intervene, because that is what we all signed on for on October 24th 1945 and debt be damed (as some might say), but this setting is one that has grim repercussions for the United States, the question becomes (as the Guardian gives us “Decades later, little appears to have changed. After a brazen night-time kidnapping of the country’s leader earlier this year, Donald Trump announced last week that the US was taking majority control over about a fifth of Venezuela’s oil reserves. That deal, according to the White House, “secures our energy dominance for the next century”. How much it will benefit Venezuelans is yet to be seen. The country’s importance to the US has been proven time and time again over the past century. Home to what are now known to be the world’s largest known oil reserves, Venezuela kept allied planes, ship and tanks well fuelled during the second world war.” There is a sickening realisation that this money grabbing administration is out and about to secure whatever it can, because the funds are drying up, up to $90K per second and that realisation is something that Washington is feeling nervous about and whilst the Federal Reserve is doing its job, it is not to the liking of this administration, because Washington is ready to start additional trade wars if the interest is not lowered. The United States has become this desperate and whilst I noticed the Venezuelan issues 2-3 days ago, it matches the sentiment and all whilst we get to hear “The United States is currently experiencing a widely declared “golden age of AI,” driven by massive private tech spending and federal initiatives like the White House AI Action Plan” which I call a brazen misdirection because a golden age is felt by all, not by 6 tech giants showing money to each other and that setting was illuminated by the three stooges. They wanted to represent the banks in that matter. Isn’t it weird that in 1953 they did the same for AI? (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pENxsLVR_Xs) I wonder if anyone else saw that nice relationship. So as some are realizing that the Golden age of AI was going to be late (I saw this setting over a year ago) we have to see what is left of the United States when the bills come calling, because whilst the United States is so called “repay the American aid provided to Ukraine” the dangers is that as “U.S. Treasury bonds faced a sharp sell-off and pushed yields to 20-year highs in August 2026, driven by surging oil prices, inflation fears, and a growing national debt” (source: the Guardian) another issue I saw coming and all whilst several nations are now withdrawing their gold reserves from America. And whilst we see (source: Reuters) that the U.S. Treasury announced it would double its long-end debt buyback operations from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation and they are already in deficit by 2 trillion dollars, I reckon that a figurative setting of adding $6 trillion to the US debt might be cause for concern. That last bit is my speculation, because I feel certain that the additional 2 trillion isn’t anywhere one the books and I recon the initial 2 trillion was negated and an operational cost that had not been settled in yet. So I might be wrong on the $6 trillion part, but after we see all that transpired, I wonder how wrong I am. 

The question now becomes, what will the United Nations do? It has a firm responsibility towards a nation like Venezuela too and whilst there are mental capacities in play (I for one have never received a free gift of $5 trillion and I would be hesitant to accept such a large amount, because Venezuela might not be liquid enough to hand over that amount of funds) but that is the setting and I do not envy the job of the UN at present, these settings are hitting us all at the same time and whilst I still have issues with some of the numbers handed to us. The setting is that the USA now has power over a fifth of the Venezuelan oil reserves set to over 17 oil fields holding an estimated 65 billion barrels of crude oil (source: the Conversation) this after we got whilst the camping trip to Venezuela was set and I raised it a year ago (December 2025) things were not making sense and after Greenland and Canada, I raised that. As I see it, the puzzle pieces are showing a nation to insolvent to continue and I might be wrong about that, I am no economist, but the numbers are telling me a framed picture whilst everyone else is showing me that the picture is different. I personally wonder who they are showing their colours to and I am unwilling to change my stance, I am no economist, but numbers I know and they are showing a different picture. Am I right, am I wrong? You see we used to rely on the media, but they lost too much credibility. It comes with the clickbait setting and the run to digital dollars.

So, feel free to disagree with me and have a great day today.

The Tourist package

That is not always what it seems, but in this case it is a setting that Google (Apple too) could facilitate. Not sure where Apple is, because I am an android person, but safari as I can tell (using my iPad and so forth) Apple could fit this setting too.

My mind was wondering as I was on a imaginary well deserved vacation to Abu Dhabi and I was walking the Yas mall. Some ideas struck me, there was no real reason of this and there was no setting to this, it merely hit me. So, when you are on vacation, you tend to be away from it all and for me (a pure workaholic at heart) that is not always as good as it sounds. And there the idea started to come. So whilst I was aware of Chrome cast and Google Streamer (a little less aware of that one). Ideas started to form. You see, we all have this setting that we want to know what is possible and the idea formed that Google needed an Away option. An encrypted setting that could make a difference. So as this ‘package’ is set to your mobile, it can be filled with all kinds of information

Favorite TV series
Your original location, 
Newspapers, 
TV stations,
News stations,
Sport details,
and a few more after this.

So whilst most hotels now have smart TV’s, the tourists do not use this to the max and that is where my idea came in. And it was not just hotel, there are plenty of places where you have access to a TV and there is the rub. Why not use any of these options?

So whilst in your hotel, the mobile can be set to focus on ‘away’ events and that could also impart with government settings. For example someone visits Abu Dhabi from Amsterdam and they are in Abu Dhabi and in stead of searching for all information, the app has an encrypted package that is fed into the system and through that Google/Apple is able to distill information to you and to your TV. Making sure that the package is not left in the hotel, it will remain on your mobile. And it is read to the Google streamer system (or its equivalent Apple system) so when you are wherever you are (I used Abu Dhabi as an example) the network will give you what you need to know, including government warnings (it there are any) The simple thing is that this system can be upgraded any place you want, but it is left on your mobile. 

So whilst we do not consider this directly, local news settings could be part of this and when hotels upgrade their Google/Apple streaming settings when they are ready all the guests tend to be ready too. So whilst you can direct search settings and compute them in the app you use, for example: ‘Netherlands, NOS, News, [Amsterdam], [Netherlands]’ and a whole range of other settings. For example your favourite news on YouTube like for example CBC News could be added and so forth. The idea is that you have a clear setting when you go on vacation and you will be instantly alerted to things happening when they are. And the you get back to your hotel and you select the app, the TV gives you the latest issues in play.

I reckon that Google/Apple might want to get ahead of this, because this idea doesn’t stay quiet for long and that is the case with any idea. So, if this interests you, have a go and be happy and if not, then not. Vacation is to be enjoyed, but I have learned that staying out of touch comes with a few setbacks and they need not be that for you. I merely had an idea and I decided to offer it to the net and see what comes of it. Optionally it is my delusional thoughts that have no place on vacations, but the setting in the USA at the moment are bringing that setting to the surface and whilst we acknowledge that Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘A house of dynamite’ is merely that, a movie, a story but when you see that the white house loudly announces “President Donald J. Trump has secured U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela” and when we are also given “all at zero cost to the United States” people tend to get nervous, because a barrel yields about 19 to 20 gallons (72 to 75 liters) and as petrol is now at roughly $4 a gallon, the White House seemingly proclaimed that they got $5.2 trillion dollars in fuel, at zero cost? What kind of government does that? As such people are getting nervous and I thought of a solution where people could go on vacation and at a moments notice keep informed. That and the fact that people in Nepal could have used this solution optionally last week. It wouldn’t stop the disaster, but in times of stress information remains at a moments notice (if possible) and in arms length. So that is another idea and I might be Google ended, but as I see it Apple could use it too or Elon Musk’s Star link. Because in times of stress there is reason to opt this as wide as possible and I am not on the payroll of any of these three, I feel perfectly validated to hand it to all. 

Have a great day you all (hopefully free of stress)

Allies? Friends?

That is what it looks like for me, where are the friends of Canada, where are its allies? The media exploits anything they can lay their fingers on for the mere setting of creating clickbait, but where is the news? There is some news and it was given to me by the BBC yesterday (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g4r4lxx25o) the story ‘The US-Canada trade war in 5 charts’ gives me the goods, but it leaves me with a whole range of other questions. We get the first chart where we see ‘Trade war hits Ontario hardest’, which gives is a chart where we see that British Columbia is hit hardest with 13.8%, then we get Quebec with 11% and then Ontario with 9%, but Ontario being the largest population with Toronto and Ottawa and several smaller ones taking care of almost 5 million people, giving us a little over 12% to the Canadian population. But where is the outrage of Commonwealthians? Where are their allies? Who stood up for Canada? If not what is the meaning for the entire Commonwealth if they cannot rely on their friends, all for the sake of an orange joker in the form of the President of the United States? Even now the White House is giving us “In the biggest oil deal in world history, President Donald J. Trump has secured U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela – vastly expanding our current U.S. territorial proven reserves of roughly 46 billion barrels. This deal secures our energy dominance for the next century—all at zero cost to the United States. The deal, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, gives the U.S. government powerful governance rights, economic ownership, and guaranteed low-cost off-take from a new private Venezuelan oil champion, which will be the second-largest private oil company by reserves in the world:” So where is that payment into the coffers of Venezuela? It only shows us that the right of the bully is the only one seemingly to count. And whilst I believe that this is the one of the final steps of a nation insolvent as ‘****’ (that stuff that makes the grass grow in Texas) and the lightly sprayed setting of “all at zero cost to the United States” so far I see AI training data bases stealing my IP at zero reward to me by allegedly (unverified) parties at Google, Anthropic, Grok and OpenAI, but zero cents in my bank accounts (let alone the minimum required setting of $25 million). So is that what the United States amount up to? Take it all and send them nothing? OK, lets also see that allegedly Sber/Yandex was also participant in getting my data at no expense to them, but that is merely the setting that Russia and the United States are both equally no good. So at which point can we see open support for Canada from Commonwealth nations like the United Kingdom, Australia, India and New Zealand? I a lacking that view, or it might be that the media isn’t willing to show that their is more than a circus of media setting whilst none off them express the old saying of “A wise man can play a fool, but a fool can’t play wise.” And we got one mortal combat styled video like that

Weirdly enough, there is no image where we see that Carney won (massively) none of those images made it into Google Search, I searched all over Google and I saw one image where the opposite is given, that is the amount of image manipulation we see. So as I see it, there is too much media acting against Canada. 

Then we get the ‘Impact of Canadian counter-tariffs on US states; Value of US exports to Canada to be affected by tariffs (in billions of C$)’ where the states are hit with return tariffs from $77 million up to $3.2 billion, and that chart looks less menacing. And the ‘added’ setting is that “According to data by the Royal Bank of Canada, the average effective US tariff rate on Canada in June was 2.9% – the lowest among major US trade partners. It has now nearly doubled to 5.7%.” Which could be true, but the setting of cost is there. So where is the outrage, where is the media giving us James Murray that he is improving import of Canadian goods, optionally replacing the United States? Where is the the Hon Don Farrell, Minister for Trade and Tourism stating that he is giving preferential treatment to his peer Canada over the United States? Because that is what a true ally does. And apparently we seemingly get nothing.

Or is that the media playing it coy with the true settings of the Commonwealth? It might be me, but that is what I see. So, whilst I understand that we are given “Bank of Canada statistics suggest that Canadian firms are exporting more to countries other than the US since Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025.” So why do we get ‘suggest’, all whilst there should be data? Just a little consideration for you readers. I get that we are given “Canada’s exports beyond the US have risen sharply since tariffs were introduced”, the chart does not show clearly that it has been reduced, only up to April 2026 ad it is now almost at the old stage, the only thing is that there is more export, if that is true the tariff should bite as much, because that would show and then there is the power and water setting. The United States is highly dependent on Canadian power. So as we are given (by someone) that “Canada supplies electricity to roughly 1.5 million homes and businesses in the United States, primarily from provinces like Ontario and Quebec to neighboring U.S. regions including Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and New England” we hear that Doug Ford (Premier of Ontario) whistles a fine tune, but where are the invoices? According to AP News, where we see: ‘Could Canada leave US cities in the dark as part of the trade war? Not likely’, so where is the return tariff hitting the United States? I merely see Venezuela hiding its tail and the AP News gives a decent response here with:

CLAIM: Canada can shut off electricity in the U.S. and cause massive blackouts.
THE FACTS: This is misleading. Canada, which provides electricity to some states, could stop the supply, according to experts, but it could not cause massive blackouts with the flick of a switch. The U.S. has enough other sources of electricity to make up for the gap, and economic impacts are more likely than a lack of power.

But the truth of the matter is that other sources give “Canada exports a significant amount of electricity to the United States, providing power to millions of American homes, though recent trade tensions have sparked political debates over these exports” as such there is the setting of AP News “U.S. has enough other sources of electricity” against some stating “Canada exports a significant amount of electricity to the United States” and apparently missions of homes are in that mix, so where is that dollar for dollar bill? I am merely asking, because I truest most of the media as little as social media. 

But in all this the lack of support I see even now in Australian supermarkets and booze shops where American goods are reduced to lower shells and Canadian goods are on the visible shelves. And why is that? Is Canada not a Commonwealth brother (or sister)? Even places where we expect to see it first (namely New Zealand) I see nothing in the media (I can’t afford to take a plane to every setting I expect to see, which requires the yanks to pay for my training data and my  bank account is below $750, so yes that has not happened. (I would casually ask Sergey Brin to look into the matter as the has two hundred and fifty thousand million in his accounts), unless Gemini is utterly innocent in the matter, which I could question. But the 2,100 an hour for several days make me wonder that and as I am not showing the naked goods of a Hollywood star and I am not that good or famous (like Nicky Minaj, or MrBeast who has over 550 million followers) takes care of that part of the equation.  

And you might wonder why I put myself in the mix, the simplest setting is that we often take care of number one first (that would be the me part) and then the rest and the rest (mainly Canada) is too much ignored and they are left to fight for themselves, which I find distasteful and utterly unacceptable as a Commonwealthian. As such these questions are raised, where is the media, where is the outrage and where are the clear supports for Canada?

I let you figure that out and consider what happens when you get the pressure from the United States (like Venezuela), I think I am already feeling the brunt of that (through my empty bank account) but as we see this happen, were should we look? It is a fir question because as I have given other (non-US) nations options. It is not assurance that others will listen, so where is the outrage where a bully gets the frontline, the media, the limelight and seemingly the revenue? So are Canadians continuing the looks on Lake America, are Mexican ships still fishing on the Gulf of America? Are oil tankers passing through the strait of America? Just simple questions that seemingly have little or no answer.

Have a great day today and Sergei, I will be keeping an eye on my bank account (actually it also means that I need to same question from Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk) its mean to single out little Sergey for all this.
