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.

Never American

That is the setting we are given and it starts with (that nasty Canadian) CBC. I merely added the TNC mention so that the people in the United States see what I am talking about. It all started yesterday when I was given (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buy-canadian-movement-coming-back-9.7321802) ‘Consumers say ‘resolve is strengthened’ to buy Canadian, bringing patriotic shopping movement back to life’ and I am not surprised, whilst that person (an apparent joker) named Jamieson Greer wanted dairy access and booze access for American to Canada. I already states (I think it was last week) that this access does not guarantee that the Canadians will buy it and behold, we see “Since the U.S. first imposed tariffs on Canada in early 2025, Francine Piché has made a point not to buy American products. “The rule in our house,” said the Burlington, Ont., resident, “is Canada first, non-U.S. second, and never American, if we can avoid it.”” And there you have it from the mouth of an Ontarian (who now has to allegedly swim in Lake America) Never American. 

And when we get to “Piché has switched her personal care product brands, cancelled her Amazon membership and abandoned plans for a trip to New York in an effort not to give her dollars to the States, except when she can’t find another alternative.” You will see that the impact is a lot worse than some people think it is. So whilst tourism is in partial denial that there is an issue, over 75% of all Canadians went to the USA in 2024. This was settled in an unconfirmed way into ‘Canadian travelers spent roughly US$20.5 billion and supported 140,000 U.S. jobs’ as such the job market is taking a beating, billions that went into the USA is now going into the EU, the Commonwealth  and the gulf States. You still think I am beating around the bush? And for the booze section, as the Commonwealth has several options. Rum from Bundaberg, Gin from London, Vodka from Sweden, Whiskey from the UK and Scotland, as such when we see that “U.S. distilled spirits exported globally reached $2.37 billion in 2025, with major markets including the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Australia” I reckon that these three importers will now take the largest part of the American export share. So when we see more billions in sport being denied from the United States, the message becomes clear. We have had it with the administration of the United States and don’t think that it ends when someone kicks him out of the White House, this will take the better part of a decade to fix and there is no real expectation that it is going to get better any day soon, so when the tourists are gone and the booze is no longer accepted, what do you think will happen to what was at some point called ‘the land of the free?’ It is shackled to a burden that no one ever wanted. So when you get to the small stuff (like Approximately $41.6 million of maple sugar and maple syrup was exported by the United States in recent international trade data) how much is left after this is settled that people will prefer Canadian? So when Australia, the UK and other commonwealth nations will exclusively import from Canada, the larger setting is reached. And whilst I advocated for Tourism to abandon the United States, the larger groups of goods from the United States should be rejected from 2027 onwards. So there goes the economy of Vermont and Maine. As we see this happen, we need to take heed of another setting that the Conversation  gave us. (At https://theconversation.com/why-the-us-canada-trade-war-could-change-how-american-farmers-grow-their-crops-for-years-290504) where we see ‘Why the US‑Canada trade war could change how American farmers grow their crops for years’ and important section might be overlooked by a lot of people. Until yesterday I was not aware either. You see “Canada’s list includes dairy products and agricultural equipment, and there is an unspoken threat that it could expand to a crucial component in fertilizer that U.S. farmers rely on. I have studied agriculture and water quality for more than a decade, including whether trade rules change how farmers manage their land. In my assessment, the enduring effect of this trade war on U.S. agriculture, if it continues to escalate, won’t be a single bad season. Across thousands of farms, farmers may have to reduce their fertilizer use as prices – already high from supply disruptions because of the war in Iran – rise. It may have little visible consequence at first, but the lasting impact could emerge later in smaller future harvests if this trade war continues.” Do you have any idea what happens with a population when these harvest settings are thrown in turmoil? My father lived through the settings of hunger in WW2, the impact that it had on the population was enormous. Although, some will say that the female population was near 100% size zero, it is no way healthy and that is the setting that the United States has coming towards them, that is beside the point that the tariffs on power could trow the settings of this coming winter into a much larger state of animosity. I reckon that the Trump family will be a lot less safe in New York from 2027 onwards, New York largely relies on power from Canada, not to mention a few other states. Even states like California get part of their power through Canada. I guess that when power on the tariff that it fees, Hollywood productions will shut down really fast. All revenue lost and lets not forget the one anchor that comes every year the interest and it is now set to approximately $1,200,000,000,000 and as the setting is reduced to the United States, that bill will take on the shape of a behemoth. So whilst we get denial (through the CBC) where we saw ‘Trump’s top trade negotiator disputes Canadian assertion that U.S. made last-minute demands’ we can think that he lied, what is likely to have happened that he tried to slip in small settings on day one and when they come to the surface at the end of the talks, Ottawa pulled the plug on it all and as I see it, Canada isn’t the needy one, the United States are with their reduced revenue and increased interest payments. Canada has options and as I see it, the United States had to play a very different game here, but it is likely that the playbook Jamieson Greer was working with what handed to him by the White House who is great at bankrupting business, but not so good in maintaining a decent revenue setting and we are seeing this all over the field.

So whilst some say I am a doom speaker, consider that I have been making mentions of these elements for months and now that they all come to bare (not bear) at the same time, we will see politicians crying on how nasty Canada is. Well, they haven’t seen anything, because as the entire Commonwealth comes to the support of Canada the game changes and I was kind enough to hand the UAE and Saudi Arabia options for tourism and there’s more to come soon enough. So whilst some fake AI give you that “Total travel spending in the United States is projected to reach $1.42 trillion in 2027, marking a steady 3.4% growth from the previous year” all whilst the world is rejecting what the United States has to offer, so as you consider how fake the AI has become. This level of AI can only work with data it has and when it is fed preconceived data? The old GIGO law comes into effect (Garbage In, Garbage Out). A setting that was clear in 1984. 

Have a nice day you all and consider that these settings are of American makings. 350 million people make sure that Trump was elected president, take that in your pipe and smoke it, and when the infrastructure collapses, make sure you look in a mirror, because for over 50% of all Americans that is where you see the guilty party.

Just a coincidence

That is what it looks like and that is what I think it is. You see, two days ago I wrote ‘Haters will be haters’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/08/25/haters-will-be-haters/) and I wrote more going back all the way back to May 2025. So when I saw Al Jazeera giving us ‘France, Saudi Arabia agree on $7bn theme park project near Paris’ (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/25/france-saudi-arabia-agree-on-7bn-theme-park-project-near-paris) I felt relief. You see, France might be the first step, but there is every chance that Saudi Arabia is taking that knowledge to parks in Saudi Arabia. So it was not what I did, I merely foresaw what would happen and the setting towards the United States losing the advantage had in theme parks is now at an end, and all whilst they paid $7 billion to $7.7 billion is the estimated cost to build Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida just a year ago. And whilst this US administration is making matters worse, the world is uniting to make it more appealing to visit theme parks outside of the United States. Abu Dhabi with its Yas Island already achieved near perfection in theme parks and as I see it, Saudi Arabia is doing the same thing and optionally in different ways I still believe that an Arabian fairy tale park in Riyadh or Jeddah. My guess is that Jeddah might be the next thing. It has 4 million and it could divert congestion in Riyadh. Jeddah is ‘merely’ 955 km away. Should a high speed railway be added to this track that trip could be reduced to 3 hours and open up (allegedly) other settings as well. 

So as we read “France and Saudi Arabia have announced plans for a six-billion-euro ($7bn) amusement park near Paris, following talks between French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the Elysee Palace.” This is good for both countries. Knowledge and dividend go hand in hand here and I reckon that this will also have an appeal to the 6 million muslims in France. So as the setting increases the dividends also increase and too bad for the United States, less income for them. But that is baking up the wrong tree as they now proclaim ‘U.S. Remains World’s Largest Travel & Tourism Market But WTTC Warns That the Country is at a Crossroads’ with “The United States remained the largest Travel & Tourism market in the world in 2025 but is losing market share according to the World Travel & Tourism Council’s (WTTC) latest Economic Impact Research, sponsored by its Lead Research Partner, Chase Travel.” (Source: World Travel & Tourism Council’s) and as I see it, they will lose a lot more in the years 2027/2028. Especially when the EU, Saudi Arabia and the UAE up the ante for tourism. So whilst I was right all along in a few ways, I cannot take credit for these actions. I feel certain that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as well of mist of the people in charge have never heard of my blog and I believer that this is the truth (no matter how much I need those coins) the truth of the matter is that I saw these settings come up and whilst some are in denial and ‘editing’ their numbers I saw the bigger game and that is why the United States with all their ‘toddler’ acts of changing Lake Ontario to Lake America these distractions are putting the media on the wrong foot, the real setting is that America is losing money and they are losing more and more and I was happy to help them lose money. You really shouldn’t attack people I care about (I meant Canada) and whilst we see more and more losses for America, I also thought it was important that the Commonwealth and the EU had places to go as such I saw Saudi Arabia and the UAE as the most likely candidates. The UAE had Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia had Riyadh and I think that they could use a second setting as such Jeddah and Dammam came up. Jeddah is bigger, as such more likely to have a lot to offer and the draw back of Dammam is that on the other side of the Sea of Dammam is Iran, not the best place until they are deleted from existence. On the other hand Jeddah is a mere 400 km from Medina, the place where the prophet Muhammed established the first Islamic state, united the local tribes, and built the political and religious center of early Islam. As such this place should be have a large appeal to the 1.9 billion Muslims and that needs to be taken into account, especially if there is a tourism growth in Saudi Arabia. 

So I felt relief and actual happiness to learn that Saudi Arabia is growing its footprint in the EU. That this footprint is transferred to Saudi Arabia is merely simple sense in the matter. And my ego likes the feeling that I have been right all along in more than one way. I will admit that I did not see this setting come, but in light of what I learned in the Al Jazeera piece “The project stemmed from a discussion between Macron and MBS in December 2024 in Riyadh, where they discovered their “shared passion” for manga, “and in particular Dragon Ball Z”, an adviser to the French president told reporters.” And in my ‘haters will be hater’ story (see link above) I wrote “optionally the Boulevard City (Riyadh) if they could set this to famous Arabic cartoons.” So suddenly that part and the part where we see ““shared passion” for manga, “and in particular Dragon Ball Z”” are starting to take shape in a few connected ways. But that might merely be me. I didn’t know about the one and I am still believing that this coincidence was insightful, but nothing more than that. So whilst we look at these ‘coincidences’ we need to see that my insight has a setting that is driven to the growth of ideas and IP’s and my stories bare that out, so when other elements are proving me right, there is relief and I feel slightly less nuts (because for the most I am). So whilst the people give credence to calling a place that was appearing in maps and records by the mid-17th century and it is set in Canada and it is now ‘delusionally’ opted to be named Lake America, where are the crazy vibes coming from? I feel happy to give The United States more to worry about and hand tourism ideas to places outside of the United States and apparently French President Emmanuel Macron is on that same page (for obvious local reasons)

So have a great day and consider where you are now and where you need to be after 2028, because when the American dream comes crushing down, you are left with nightmares and that is not me, it came from Andrew Sheng, a prominent Malaysian banker who stated that in the documentary Inside Job (2010) he literally said “When those dreams turn out to be nightmares, other people pay for it.” As such it makes sense that you are away from that place when the nightmares come calling. But that might merely be me. Have a great day.

Danger zones ahead

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

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

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

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

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

If his lips are moving

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

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

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

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

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

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

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