Edge of the coin

That is as I realise the setting we are in. And I get it, I sound silly, but I was unaware of the scope of the setting (I will easily blame my lack of an economic education) but three parts came to my mind opening my eyes. The first part is seen on the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyg1jg8xkmo) two hours ago ‘US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military, says White House’ all whilst my previous article is 14 hours old. As such America is ready to go to war with NATO itself. And here we are given “US President Donald Trump has been discussing “a range of options” to acquire Greenland, including use of the military, the White House said. The White House told the BBC that acquiring Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of fellow Nato member Denmark – was a “national security priority”.” Which is as I see it a blatant lie, but I wrote about that 14 hours ago. The second part came from Houston (Texas) where (at https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/venezuela-oil-future-texas-development-trump-maduro/) we are given ‘From Caracas to Houston: How Venezuela’s oil future could affect Texas’ the direct takeaway is “President Trump is talking about rebuilding the oil infrastructure there. If you’re in the oil biz in Houston or Irving right now, what do you think this means for the Texas oil industry? Are we looking at the possibility that U.S. companies could rush down into Venezuela as a result of what happened this weekend?

Well, no, so it’s a crude quality thing, right? So if we just consider U.S. production and Latin American production in Venezuela specifically, U.S. shale is light sweet crude. It is very high quality. Venezuelan crude is low quality, heavy sour crude. And U.S. gulf coast refineries have been geared towards running this Venezuelan heavy sour crude, Mexican heavy sour crude as well.

And so it’s not going to impact U.S. production per se because it’s not going to be displacing that crude. The way, if you’re cynical, you can look at this is that the U. S. needs this Venezuelan crude and so that’s what’s driving President Trump’s efforts here.”

You might think that this is ludicrous and to some extent it is, but there is another side. Actually two sides, but I will talk about this in a moment. The thirst side is given to us by the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/06/the-guardian-view-on-trumps-capture-in-caracas-oil-matters-but-its-not-the-whole-story) where we see ‘The Guardian view on Trump’s raid in Caracas: oil matters, but it’s not the whole story’ where we see “US sanctions worsened Venezuela’s slump, but lifting them alone will not restore growth: the industrial base has been hollowed out and skilled labour gone. If US oil majors take a larger share of revenues, Caracas will be more cash-strapped than before. It is hard not to recall Iraq – not because Venezuela is Iraq, but because of how the decision was made. No single rationale was decisive about Caracas. Oil, drugs, ideological fixation and presidential ego all featured. Each was not enough on its own; together they saw Mr Trump make a high‑risk move with no clear endgame.” It didn’t hit me at first, but this kept nagging into the back off my brain. There were two parts that were missing (one actually). You see, we were given “Trump told NBC on Jan. 5 that it could take less than 18 months to revive Venezuelan oil production, with the U.S. potentially reimbursing American oil companies for their investment. “A tremendous amount of money will have to be spent, and the oil companies will spend it, and then they’ll get reimbursed by us, or through revenue,” Trump said. In his Jan. 6 announcement Trump said Venezuelan oil “will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.” Energy Secretary Chris Wright is coordinating the effort, Trump added. Wright is meeting with oil executives in Miami this week.” You would like to see that this is more Trump BS but you would be wrong, the timeline does’t match. You see President Trump has almost exactly 1109 days left. Now consider that Chevron or anyone else picks up the baton, there is not enough time to make a decent profit and on the other had, the rather nasty side effect of oil is that a spark sets it off and President Maduro has plenty of allies in Venezuela. So either a massive army comes to Venezuela or there is another setting in place. That’s when it hit me, actually the Greenland setting left me with this. America is ready to go to war with NATO? At present NO DEMOCRAT is speaking up and Hakeem Jeffries leader of the Democrat party has been uncannily silent on these matters. I dawned on me that America elected an idiotic baboon as president because THEY ALL KNOW the party is about to end. They all know the debt they are in is about to spiral out of control and they need Venezuelan oil, Greenland natural wealth and Canadian resources to keep afloat (Canada might almost be out of danger) but America needs Venezuela and Greenland and that is thinly part to keep them afloat. Did Democrats actually think they could go in denial after the fact? 

They all knew and no one reacted, that is your America of today, they are no longer an ally, they have become a clear and present danger of Europe, the EU and the Commonwealth. Because after Greenland how much trust does an American hold? None at all.

I have to be crazy not having seen this before, we got swept up in the media cycles (they are now also an active part towards the enemies destination) there is no way all these Economic boffins didn’t see this happen. I might have an excuse as I have no economic degree, but they do not. And that needs to come out into the light. The global news is so whoring for Digital Dollars, they will side with the wind in whatever direction it goes. That was part 3 and part 4 of this. As I see it a whole America is part of this and I mightn’t have seen it before, but I am on the page now. So as I see it Europe and the Commonwealth have only one course of action. Immediately ban all American goods, ban all American travel, and ban all American services. It is now that simple and when we suddenly now get Democratic voices complain, they are too late. They had the option to voice concerns over three weeks but we got nothing. So as I see it, the Commonwealth needs to stand side by side with Canada as it is the third target of America and we need to do this now. There is no tomorrow. America needs to learn what a warlike Commonwealth can bring to the table. I still think that a partnership with China is preferred, but I get that this is politically a hammer to heavy to wield. So this is the edge of the coin, not Ione side, not the other, but in balance with too many elements. 

So even I get insights into missed corners of data and there will be plenty of people saying I am wrong (as I usually hear) but look at the evidence, the media gave you all the evidence you needed. Have a great day, unless you are American then you can have a terrible day as far as I care.

As you question your media

That is what I am left with. You see I have always believed this setting to be truthful. I saw this direction as clear as anything on October 4th 2021 (yes, world animal day, in the story at https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/10/04/utter-insanity/) when I wrote ‘Utter Insanity’, so I have been on this track for some time and I made mention of this in 2013 when the pressure was not that high yet. So when I saw (at https://fortune.com/2025/10/14/america-going-broke-jpmorgan-david-kelly-debt-tariffs/) where we see ‘America is ‘going broke slowly’ says J.P. Morgan, as national debt balloons and tariff revenue looks shaky’ and this was given to us on October 14 2025 (a few years after I did the math) where we see “J.P. Morgan’s David Kelly warned this week that while America is “going broke” it’s doing so slowly enough that markets aren’t panicking yet. With U.S. national debt now topping $37.8 trillion and interest payments exceeding $1.2 trillion, Kelly said the debt-to-GDP ratio—already at 99.9%—will likely keep rising even under moderate growth. Despite tariff revenues and temporary deficit relief, he cautioned that political choices or a slowdown could quickly worsen the fiscal picture, urging investors to diversify away from U.S. assets before “going broke slowly” turns fast.” And the bigger story is “Why did the media never caught on?” There is the Wall Street Journal, several financial newspapers and several other media. They never woke up? How much are these people getting paid? And my story yesterday was that it is time for the USA to become an isolated state. So how long will this last when the screws are tightened by Europe and the Commonwealth? You see, in 2024, the U.S. federal government collected approximately $4.9 trillion in total revenue. Now consider that they have NEVER been able to keep their spending under control and at present almost a fourth of that will go towards interest payments. So how long until things start collapsing? When you cannot make budget now, you will make even less when you have to make due with only 75% of that money is available for all manners of costs. That is what is out there and the media is merely glancing over this. So who will ask them the hard questions? Because as it seems the media is shunning and failing their duty and leaving the people in unknown territory. But don’t believe me, I am merely a clever person, but as I see it David Kelly of J.P. Morgan might be a different story and whilst nearly all media is glancing over Venezuela and the oil needs that America has, will they also feign ignorance in case of Greenland? Or are they buying the National Security gist that is out there?

So whilst we are getting “Kelly outlined that while the economy is facing a barrage of issues (geopolitics, trade wars, changing immigration enforcement, and government shutdowns to name a few) one of the key longer-term issues is how the U.S. government is going to pay its bills.” And I like it, because I was right all along and I got to that point 4 years ago. So as it stands this moment is coming within the next three years and do you really think that America’s expansionism is about national security of are there people who are able to get on the train that it is merely about adjusting the maximum limit on the Credit Card of a nation named United States of America. And as we see it Greenland and Canada wants nothing of that. Greed it the smallest and weakest of sins and it never stops showing its hunger and people like PM Mark Carney knows this, which is why he is the perfect choice for Canada at this moment. I reckon that when the implosion of America becomes fact the Canadian people will get him his own statue and I already know the place, Berczy Park overlooking the Financial district of Toronto. Because if Canada gets out of this near unscathed a statue is the least Canada can do for him. 

So feel free to question your media and for all those people stating that USA can never go broke, consider that no nation ever had over 37 trillion in debt and the interest is slowly giving the USA a starting find of zero. Then there are the bonds that are maturing in 2026. So when and where are they maturing? Because that comes separate from the $1.2 trillion interest bill (according to JP Morgan) I personally thought it was closer to $1.5 trillion, but I am not an expert, so I will gladly give the field to JP Morgan on this. And the media remains silent on the hardships that America called out on itself. 

And there is a second setting (a speculative one) we are given “The economist wrote that in the near term casual speculators may have some reason for optimism. For example, he pointed to tariff revenues raking in significant sums ($31 billion in August, according to the White House) and recent estimates from the CBO and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget that deficits for fiscal year 2025 will total 6% of GDP, down from 6.3% last year.” My speculation is that some people, especially on Wall Street figure on the setting that as long as the ship looks good, they look good. It is a speculation by me and of course I could be incorrect, but that is how I see it. But the markers we see (like Venezuela, Canada and Greenland) gives me the idea that I am right. You see, to let the US credit card get more, they need to show more and Venezuela does the to some degree and Greenland and Canada are the closers of America need for greed and greed is the centre piece in all this, which is why I oppose the actions of America. In the second degree I am a Commonwealthian, so I stand with Canada and my Australian side also stands with Queen Mary Of Denmark who originally comes from Tasmania. So I have two reasons to not give America any consideration here. 

But in all this the overwhelming issue is the media who is shunning what should be reported and I reckon that several stakeholders are seemingly poisoning the well of information. I reckon that the need comes more and more in focus to list those people and shame them on the wall of visibility. Because there is only so much that these people are allowed to get away with, but that is merely me thinking this. Others might have a not so outspoken view on the matter. 

Have a great day.

The rage is real

I saw a message on BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g0zg974v1o) which made me a lot angrier than I am willing to admit to. A mere 8 hours ago we were told ‘‘We need Greenland’: Trump repeats threat to annex Danish territory’ and I get to the rage in a moment. But the media (the pussies they seemingly are) are merely ‘reporting’ on this. We are being told that “the US president said “we need Greenland from the standpoint of national security”.” We are also given “Trump has repeatedly raised the prospect of the semi-autonomous Danish territory becoming an annexed part of the US, citing its strategic location for defence purposes and mineral wealth.” It is the ‘mineral wealth’ that America needs and Wall Street can see the end of their markers, so they are keeping more quiet than a church mouse during service. We see that the Orange Bully Baboon of the Usurping States of Avarice is making his case, but the truth of the matter is, that truth that the reporters are never digging into is that America has a debt of 38 trillion (aka $38,000,000,000,000, I hope I got that part right) as such EVERY YEAR needs to come up with $1.5 trillion dollars (aka $1,500,000,000,000) in interest. That is before the pay off of the debt starts. That is plain ‘profit’ for the banks. So, remind me, what do you do to your child when he spends 90% of his annual allowance on day 1?
It doesn’t end well and now Europe and the Commonwealth have a nasty job, because America is not doing anything.

As I see it, the best setting is to impose isolationism on America. We have better travel destinations (Europe, UAE, Japan) we can impose more tariffs (the Orange Baboon apparently loves those) and we can stop buying all goods ‘made in America’, ask the Canadians how to do that. And we need to do this now, before that idiotic White House comes after Canada again. They think they got away with Venezuela and it is not over yet. As such the need for cash increases in America, as such they are now going after Danish territory. They are running out of time. And my thought are that Europe and the Commonwealth knock on the doors to China trying to make a better solution. When American goods are rejected, places like Huawei will readily open the doors. And don’t come to me with OpenAI and AI is the future. AI doesn’t exist yet and at present OpenAI is losing to Google, so there is that. 

Soon these larger players will have to chose between America and the rest of the world, the simplicity of 340,000,000 consumers versus 7,860,000,000 consumers. I reckon that these players will readily move their HQ to a European or Commonwealth location. And whilst the isolation begins America is now forced to go on an all out war or dwindle into irrelevancy.

That is not a bet I want to make, as such the Commonwealth and the EU need to arrange a setting through BRICS or directly with China to make this happen.

And for those who think I am overreacting, consider that President Trump said “Trump has claimed that making it part of the United States would serve American security interests due to its strategic location and its abundance of minerals critical to high-tech sectors.” And as the King of Denmark married an Australian, Australia is (as I personally see it) ready to go to war in defense of Denmark. And as that setting evolves, the Commonwealth will realise that they are not safe until America is dealt with. And I have no sympathy for America at present. I predicted this evolution in 2013. I will admit that I did not see America stealing its revenue, but that is merely on my own limited creativity. 

The setting is almost too clear, get rid of America or drown in their lack of spending control. I don’t think it is much of an equation to look at and in that second degree the EU and Commonwealth needs to start banning the American media as well. See how that goes when the advertisement money start falling short. I reckon that this might be the most effective of all bans. When the media can no longer get the digital dollars from outside of America, they will have to turn on America and that at present is not a good setting to be in. So whilst some laugh at Kate Miller and her map of Greenland doused in the American flag, some will see the danger of this and I reckon that several parties are already in contact with Beijing at present (phone: +86 10 8562 2709)

So how is that a solution? Well as I see it, there is only China now to stop America and the world needs a safe space and China might solve that problem and this is only needed for about two years. Then Wall Street and the American economy dissolves into nothing and America becomes a place for money vultures. I reckon that places like the Smithsonian will auction off what they have to get by the first year, but after that the new interest invoice is due and there won’t be anything left.  This reminds me of a story about a salesperson wanting to avoid hell, so he promised the devil an annual increase of 100% souls of his monthly quota of 100 souls and the devil agreed. So the salesperson feels happy and he is returning to his old life, but that is where the other side of the coin comes into play. In year two he is due 2400 souls, year three 4800 souls and it goes on, but the devil is a decently patient soul, because the sales person would have to surrender 5 billion souls in 24 years, more than the population of the earth at that point. The moral of the story? Don’t ever make a deal with the devil. There is no way to win.

And as I see it, the banks work in the same way, hence the problem that Wall Street shows itself to be. So what deal was there to be had in that field? Nobody was looking there were they? So the rage is real, I cannot get a decent deal in my life and the bullies get it all, so I wonder what we were doing in the first place. Have a decent day today.

Does J stand for Jezebel?

That might be the question that I have, but I reckon it is not likely the question you have. You will think that J stands for John, like the book of John and many other references. But hear me out. I have always believed that doing the right thing for the wrong reason transform the setting to a corrupting one. And we should always avoid corrupting the ones we hail as important. I don’t have the lowdown on President Nicolás Maduro, some say he is vile, corrupt and many other things. I do not disagree. I merely do not know. I never stood still on Venezuela until President Trump attacked it, captured its tankers and a few other means of using planes to shoot down speed boats. The setting is an unnatural one. We cannot believe what the White House press corps tells us, it has gone that far at present and I reckon that at least two succeeding presidents will have to clean the mess this president is likely leaving behind. I believe that the setting of Horizon Forbidden West is a much more peaceful life, no matter how little time we have left. 

So that actions of President Trump should be seen, no matter how nice he plays it, as actions of a corrupting nature. He is out to get the oil. As I see it America is that broke at present and he isn’t even hiding parts of this. As we get told “US oil giants have so far remained silent on Donald Trump’s claim that they are primed to spend “billions and billions of dollars” rebuilding the Venezuelan oil industry following the ouster of Nicolás Maduro.” (Source: the Guardian) We heard earlier “President Donald Trump says the US will ‘take back’ Venezuela’s oil, arguing it should be used to reimburse Washington for past spending. According to Trump, the US will ‘run’ Venezuela after having seized President Nicolas Maduro and taken him to New York.” So, where does ‘Take Back’ come into play? What evidence is there? We are given “According to a 2009 US report, 90% of US cocaine is sourced from Colombia, with Venezuela and the Caribbean accounting for around 10% of US-destined cocaine trans-shipments in 2010. Another significant route is directed to export cocaine, marijuana and other illegal drugs via direct sea shipments from Venezuela to Europe, with half of all direct shipments to Europe between 2006 and 2008 originating in Venezuela. For decades, Venezuela has been major transit hub for cocaine trafficking, but had not been a major producer of cocaine until the 2010s.” (Sources: United Nations, World Drug report 2010). All this whilst President Trump its pardoning drug dealers? No, this was about the oil they have and a secondary evidence I call into fact that there are no armies invading Colombia, it has no oil. When actions are this blatantly transparent, we need to fear the inactions of the United Nations who hammers Israel anytime chance it gets, no matter how unwarranted it is. 

A mere 9 hours ago, ABC gave us ‘The Venezuela strike sets a new low for the world order — even by Donald Trump’s standards’ where awe are given ““This was one of the most stunning, effective, and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history,” he told a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. But even in a world that has grown accustomed to a cavalier attitude toward international law from Mr Trump, the move’s blatant disregard for its strictures stunned political leaders and commentators around the world.” As well as “To be fair, none of the analysis in recent months of what the US might do as it ramped up its threats to Venezuela and Mr Maduro contemplated the possibility of the effective abduction of the authoritarian leader.” And it comes with “Mr Starmer was at pains to distance the UK from the operation and refused to say whether he believed it complied with international law.” We see another example where socialists are decidingly siding with the ‘pussy response’ as such as I see it, only liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney has any decent spinal cord in this. 

In addition the Australian Financial Report (at https://www.afr.com/policy/foreign-affairs/trump-has-no-idea-what-he-s-getting-into-in-venezuela-20260104-p5nrgb) gives us ‘Trump has no idea what he’s getting into in Venezuela’ an opinion piece, because as I see it, the media at large is playing the pussy card as much as they can. It came with the additional “It was also the stuff of spectacle: “I watched it literally like I was watching a television show,” Trump told reporters. Cubans and Danes in Greenland will worry they might provide the next episode.” I get it, the world worries, because if that happens, it boils down to America proclaiming war on Europe, that is how I see it. Yet in light of their diminishing banking setting I reckon that America will drain Venezuelan oil for the next two years. 

It is an unsettling setting. We cannot rely on the media to the larger extent and now America has become worse than Russia is, that is the reality that the Commonwealth has to look out for and in the backdrop China is smiling, because if they get the EU and the Commonwealth to sing the China sone, America ends up being isolated nearly completely. Commerce, Tourism and Technology is likely to end really quick. Is this what will happen? I cannot say, but the likelihood of the EU and the Commonwealth seeking shelter against this American setting is massively likely, but will they merely rely on each other, or will they seek a partnership with China? There is no data to provide an answer and this has never happened, so this version of AI is globally uncertain, it never have trained data of this extent before, so it will not know. It will merely guess at the behest of the programmer. Do you think that will be a wise decision?

Your guess is as good as mine. Have a great day today.

Cracking on the down

That is at times the setting, but it is not always clear. As I personally see it, it has nearly always been clear as glass, but the ‘powered that could be’ doesn’t want to hand over any of the greed it can get, and as a result people get scammed. So I have a few issues with the Reuters article (at https://www.reuters.com/investigations/meta-created-playbook-fend-off-pressure-crack-down-scammers-documents-show-2025-12-31/) and as we read its headline ‘Meta created ‘playbook’ to fend off pressure to crack down on scammers, documents show’ we might think that this giant (aka Meta) is the cause of it all, but that isn’t exactly true. To see this we need to look back the last half century, slightly before Meta (then known as Facebook) was born. So as we are given “As regulators press Meta to crack down on rogue advertisers on Facebook and Instagram, the social media giant has drafted a “playbook” to stall them. Internal documents seen by Reuters reveal its tactics, including efforts to make scam ads “not findable” when authorities search for them.” We are shown a half truth that I see as a near blatant lie. You see, in 1961 a man named Luther Simjian came up with the father and mother of the ATM. An experimental Bankograph (as they named it then) was installed in New York City in 1961 by the City Bank of New York, but removed after six months due to the lack of customer acceptance. But on 27 June 1967 it was reintroduced by the actor Reg Varney as a push to control people pressure at Barclay in London. Think of this as the starting point. As security was upgraded, most security was still set to older concepts, they were not bad, but it all comes from this point. And as the law was set to this setting, it fell behind fast. As such things like Two-Factor Authentication are still concepts to be implemented in banking and auto banking and beyond. So as Meta and others are trying to make the sale of advertising ‘easier’ scammers are really happy to bank in on such opportunity. 

Consider three points, the advertiser, its payment and its location are three separate issues, whilst the initial setting is almost never confirmed as these players are set to ease of business and commerce instead of security of business and commerce.

And we see this in the article as “Meta, owner of the two social media platforms, feared Japan would soon force it to verify the identity of all its advertisers, internal documents reviewed by Reuters show. The step would likely reduce fraud but also cost the company revenue.” This is true, but the setting goes far beyond Meta and that is as far as I can tell not set either. So as Reuters gives us “Meta launched an enforcement blitz to reduce the volume of offending ads. But it also sought to make problematic ads less “discoverable” for Japanese regulators, the documents show.” Which bus likely true, but it is a larger field. If the EU, the Commonwealth and America keep shoulder to shoulder to “verify the identity of all its advertisers” we could actually get somewhere, but then the conversation goes into the direction of complication and such, the greed driven are ready to hand victory to the scammers. And as we are given “The documents are part of an internal cache of materials from the past four years in which Meta employees assessed the fast-growing level of fraudulent advertising across its platforms worldwide. Drawn from multiple sources and authored by employees in departments including finance, legal, public policy and safety, the documents also reveal ways that Meta, to protect billions of dollars in ad revenue, has resisted efforts by governments to crack down.” The setting that Japan is trying to overcome, the establishment of identity of advertisers become frightfully clear. And that costs Meta revenue, but it goes far beyond Meta, Amazon is likely to have similar settings and they accept that as the cost of doing business, but the people caught in-between are  settled with the bill of BigTech doing business. So as Sandeep Abraham, a former fraud investigator at Meta gives us “Instead of telling me an accurate story about ads on Meta’s platforms, it now just tells me a story about Meta trying to give itself a good grade for regulators.” We are being told the picture that regulators are part of the problem. In stead of the cold hard question “How is the identity of the advertiser established” the people are told a different picture. It would be regarded as Artsy, but not the truth. So whilst the world is ready to accept “The tactic successfully removed some fraudulent advertising of the sort that regulators would want to weed out. But it also served to make the search results that Meta believed regulators were viewing appear cleaner than they otherwise would have. The scrubbing, Meta teams explained in documents regarding their efforts to reduce scam discoverability, sought to make problematic content “not findable” for “regulators, investigators and journalists.”” The larger question on what happens when these fraudulent go getters get access to more finely trained DML/LLM solutions, to capture the wallets of millions more? That question remains in the background and soon it will be too late, because soon places like America will try nearly anything to keep their shareholders happy and that comes with additional cost of doing business. And that setting is given with “The playbook, as it’s referred to in some of the documents, lays out Meta’s strategy to stall regulators and put off advertiser verification unless new laws leave them no choice.” And again, the lawmakers are shunning their duty, not merely in America, but in Europe and partially the Commonwealth as well. And that is, as I see it, the gist of the setting and whilst we might want to blame Meta, the direct setting is that places like Apple, Google, Microsoft are at least equally guilty. So, as I see it, Microsoft could have done something years ago, but they were chasing Google, instead of becoming real innovators. They might have trailed, but at this point they could have taken a lead and as I see it, they did not.

So as we see Meta, no one is asking where Amazon and Apple were at that time. So how many scammy advertisements did they make way for? I don’t know the number and it will be less than Meta, but is it small enough? I fear not (a speculation on my side).

Oh, and before you think this was all new stuff, consider that I raised this issue in ‘Enabling Crime’ and article I wrote in 2017 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2017/12/02/enabling-crime/) so this has been over 8 years in rotation, 8 years that BigTech and lawmakers did close to nothing and I was taught an issue like “Two-Factor Authentication” in University (aka UTS) in 2012. So it is over a decade where legal Impotency is shown. It was in the trend of non-repudiation where you and you alone could have set this in motion. The law seems uneasier to bind itself and tech doesn’t want to be bound by this. So as I showed close to 13 years of inability to do something about that setting we are given a slightly different setting, not an incorrect one, but one that is slightly larger than anticipated. 

So I wish you all a good day and a lovely time enjoying coffee (I just had mine). Those lazy bastards in Vancouver are likely snoring the night away, it’s half past midnight this morning there.

The neighbors have coffee

That is the setting, but that is not what this is about. We are given a setting (at https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/trump-has-ordered-naval-blockade-of-sanctioned-oil-tankers-in-venezuela-he-says/gcrwrmllu) where we see ‘‘Act of war’: Trump orders blockade of ‘sanctioned’ Venezuela oil tankers’ and we see “But Trump on Tuesday pointed to another goal — regaining US access to Venezuelan oil production. The US armada “will only get bigger,” Trump said, until Venezuela returns “to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.”” But is that true? At what point did Venezuela steal oil from America? Why assets did they steal? What land was stolen? Can we get a clear explanation of that? And if comes with two other settings. The US is pulling out all its troops out of Europe. And in the second setting we see today that one of the most successful American businesses is filing for Bankruptcy. Del Monte originated from California canners in the late 1800s, becoming a household name through the California Packing Corporation (Calpak). It has filed for bankruptcy due to the tariffs on fruits and aluminum. It drove them under in 6 months. And as I see it, a speculated setting is that President Trump will need to sue the BBC, because America is about to lose everything and not one intelligent being will do business with him beginning in 2026. 

As I said so before, America is done for and the longer everything is suspended in ‘investigations’ the longer it takes for the America people to see what hardship they are due for, not for a week or a month, but for several years and that is if someone takes over the helm of the good ship America and takes it in a 180 degree different course, there is no other way and even then it will take half a decade to clear the tourism setting that it now has and rebuild trust (which will speculatively take 3-5 years). 

So as we were given “But Trump on Tuesday pointed to another goal — regaining US access to Venezuelan oil production.” as well as “Caracas blasted Trump’s announcement on Tuesday, saying he aimed at “stealing the riches that belong to our homeland.” Venezuela has been sidestepping US oil sanctions for years, selling crude at a discounted price on the black market, mainly to China. Venezuela is estimated to have oil reserves of some 303 billion barrels, according to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) — more than any other nation. “If there are no oil exports, it will affect the foreign exchange market, the country’s imports … There could be an economic crisis,” Elias Ferrer of Orinoco Research, a Venezuelan advisory firm, told AFP recently.” As I personally see it (and I might be wrong) America is broke and it is about to lose whatever it has to pay for the interest on the loans they have. The Administration had a setting they tried and it backfired. Greenland isn’t giving up its land, Canada is turning down America and worse still, Canada is now making headway in impressive economic strides for Canada which is also hurting America. As I see it, the stage that was left was to ‘annex’ the Venezuelan oil fields. This is likely to fail, but more disastrous nearly all lands will gain mistrust of the American way which is now showing to be selfish at the expense of all others. That is as I see it the Legacy that President Trump is leaving behind and the sooner others see it the way (several already do) the more America sees the hurt it imposed on itself. 

And when places like Del Monte is filing for bankruptcy, it will not be alone ad the more these places are hidden due to ‘National Security’ or whatever reason is given and others are seemingly ready to follow. There is American Unagi, American Signature, parent company of furnishings retailers American Signature Furniture and Value City and more are on the list of those reading Chapter 11 of the book of economic hardship. All these facts are settings that give America a stage of disaster and the American administration remains in denial. 

Even if America succeeds with Venezuela, America is done for. No-one will trust America for decades. Not the EU, not the Commonwealth and parts of Asia will also shun America. And for a lot Canada is the more trustworthy option, so Canada will de decently well and as we recently saw Lockheed Martin is getting replaced by Saab AB and that is merely the tip of the iceberg. So whilst America withdraws the troops from Europe, Europe has one card left to play. It can throw America out of NATO and that has massive repercussions. You see America has 70,000 troops in Europe, those who are send back will likely lose their jobs, then they get a massive downturn in their defense industry. Which will upset Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. All that has a massive economic footprint. When the Europeans turn away from American hardware, America’s economy takes a swift dive into an abyss where it cannot afford the gravy trains it supported and that has other impacts as well. I reckon that the media is next, as American media gets shunned in Europe and the Commonwealth their incomes and more important their influence will wane into near nothingness. 

So am I correct?

I honestly don’t know, but that is what I see, the markers are undeniable and they tend to cross nations, they cross interests and they cross political allies. As I see it, America might in the end have one ally left, Russia. So how does that sit with the anti-communist setting of the Republican Party? And next on that list id the waning of the CIA, you see as the Commonwealth stops trusting America, the CIA us also shunned from the meetings it needs to have and as such it is about to require a lot more money to stay afloat and that is the one thing America no longer has (at least until they get the Venezuelan oil) settings upon settings that sets the game that will be played and America is largely out of moves. They are about to falter in intelligence, they are faltering in business, the will soon falter in media and as I see it, the steps the American administration made towards Hollywood is strengthening Canadian, Australian and British film industries and those settings are getting larger and worse for America. So feel free to disagree and that is fine, but I reckon you need to investigate on yourself and see what the media is hiding from a lot of people. And as I see it, America is about to falter and leave the people in America without anything. Because the AI scare fare is about to cost American wealth trillions of dollars (according to some a number between nine and fifteen) who who gets to pay for all that? Microsoft? OpenAI? I reckon that it will come out of retirement funds and if I am wrong, I am wrong. But do come with actual numbers. We can see “US retirement funds are extensively invested in artificial intelligence (AI), primarily through large index funds, mutual funds, and ETFs that hold significant stakes in major tech companies leading the AI revolution, such as Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet.” As well as “Indirect Investment via Large Cap Tech Holdings: Many common retirement savings options, like S&P 500 index funds or target-date funds, have a large, concentrated exposure to the “Magnificent Seven” tech stocks (Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, etc.) that are heavily driving AI innovation. Nvidia’s significant market value, for example, means it has a large weighting in many diversified portfolios, creating inherent AI exposure.” That is the bubble fear you should have and when America stops, you better have a sock with reserve funds, because that is all you can live on when it collapses.

Have a great day.

When consumed by anger

This happens to all of us, you, me, everybody with a soul and a decent setting towards ethical boundaries. So when I heard yesterday about the Ukrainian setting, I kinda lost it, but I refrained from acting until I had most of the evidence.

First there is ABC (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-22/volodymyr-zelesnkyy-says-us-peace-plan-difficult-choice-ukraine/106039966) giving us ‘Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine faces choice of losing dignity or US backing, Trump gives a week for decision’, so Russians bombing civilians he gives 10 days (a few times) and this setting gets a mere week. Summarized (by ABC) we see:

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed he would not betray his country’s national interest, as he addressed news of a US-led peace plan to end Russia’s war. 
  • The 28-point plan that America has presented to Ukraine endorses some of Moscow’s demands and leaves security guarantees for Kyiv vague.
  • Mr Zelenskyy has said Ukraine now faces the difficult choice to either “losing dignity or risk losing a major partner”. 

And we get in addition “after the US presented Kyiv with a peace plan that endorses key Russian demands. Speaking in the street outside his office, a location he uses only rarely for major addresses, the Ukrainian president said his country was trying to preserve its freedom while retaining the support of its most important ally.”

This is where I kinda lost it. This president Joker (his new nick name), this 6 times loser hands a helping hand to Russia?

  • He sided with Russia (Against Ukraine)
  • He threatened members of congress with hanging. (Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Reps. Jason Crow of Colorado, Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania and Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire)
  • He is pressuring Canada (51st state remarks for a start)
  • He is allegedly illegally attacking nations with tariffs
  • He is a convicted felon (on over 25 counts)
  • He failed the American Economy (Tourism)

I am now calling on the Swedish Nobel committee to deny him any awards (especially the peace price) for the rest of his life. A person of this setting should not be awarded anything (except a dunce cap) Furthermore I call on any Commonwealth nation and any EU nation to give support to the Ukraine as best as you possibly can. I released several IP parts that could end Russian nuclear reactors as well as sink their naval capacity. I also have an option to take away their airfare in a new and innovative way, but that is still in the works. Russia has over 1,000 airports and I figured on a drone setting that could end that nice setting to the bulk of them, what a lovely surprise it would be if these ‘supersets’ cannot take of, a slim setting, but there you have it. DARPA was so set on finding military solutions that they seemingly forgot about the other weaknesses the airforce tend to have.

More important is the message that I and many like me support President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people, on a lighter note, who would not support this Paddington bear (2014, 2017) when it comes to it. 

And the setting that Washington gave the Ukraine, that they agreed with Russia without Ukraine is a “Washington has presented Kyiv with a 28-point plan, which calls for Ukraine to cede territory, accept limits to its military and renounce ambitions to join NATO”, so how about limit Russian forces by making 1,000 airfields unusable? How about making naval options (including merchant navy) options obsolete and redundant? And how about NATO gets to Ukraine in the next 7 days? I reckon this is only possible with British, Dutch and German forces coming together on this. France will become the buffer army for European territory. 

Am I angry enough? Well, I still have the option to making the nuclear reactors meltdown on itself and that if functional could give the Russian people a new consideration of cold, February should be frisky in Russia, so there we have it, I might not be some kind of Sylvester Stallone, but I used to be a decent marksman and there is nothing wrong with my innovative creativity, so let’s have fun on this and after that all barrels will be pointed on America for siding with Russia. I am calling for a complete segregation of economic assistance of America. Good and services. Canada is doing its part, lets see what the rest can do. When no one hands them oil, their own oil will support them and that is costing them dearly. There is no need to export their oil and get cheap oil abroad. They can all fuel themselves in America. 

I am actually this angry. If you are not an American, have a great day.

The start of something bad

That is how I saw the news (at https://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/tech/dubais-10000-ai-firms-goal-to-redefine-competitiveness-power-uaes-startup-vision) with the headline ‘Dubai’s 10,000 AI-firms goal to redefine competitiveness,  power UAE’s startup vision’ there is always a risk when you start a new startup, but the drive to something that doesn’t even exist is downright folly (as I see it) and now it is driven to a 10,000 times setting of folly. That is what I perceive. But lets go through the setting to explain what I am seeing.

First there is the novel setting and it is one that needs explaining. You see AI doesn’t yet exist, even what we have now is merely DML (Deeper Machine Learning) and it is accompanied at times with LLM (Large Language Models) and these solutions can actually be great, but the foundations of AI are not yet met and take it from me it matters. Actually never take my word, so lets throw some settings at you. First there is ‘Deloitte to pay money back to Albanese government after using AI in $440,000 report’ and then we get to ‘Lawyer caught using AI-generated false citations in court case penalised in Australian first’ (sources for both is the Guardian). There is something behind this. The setting of verification is adamant in both, You see, whatever we now call AI isn’t it and whatever data is thrown at it is taken almost literally at face value. Data Verification is overlooked at nearly every corner and then we get to Microsoft with its ‘support’ of builder.ai with the mention that it was goo. It lasted less than a month and the ‘backing’ of a billion dollar went away like snow in a heatwave. They used 700 engineers to do what could not be done (as I personally see it). So we have these settings that is already out there. 

Then (two weeks ago) the Guardian gives us (at https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/oct/08/bank-of-england-warns-of-growing-risk-that-ai-bubble-could-burst) ‘Bank of England warns of growing risk that AI bubble could burst’ with the byline “Possibility of ‘sharp market correction has increased’, says Bank’s financial policy committee” now consider this setting with the valuation of 10,000 firms getting a rather large ‘market correction’ and I think that this happens when it is the least opportune for the UAE. This take me to the old expression we had in the 80’s “You can lose your money in three ways, first there are women, which is the prettiest way to lose your money, then through gambling, which is the quickest way to lose your money and third way is thought IT, which is the surest way to lost your money” and now I would like to add “the fourth way is AI, which is both quick and sure to lose your money” that is the prefix to the equation. And the setting we aren’t given is set out in several pieces all over the place. One of them was given to us in ABC News (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-20/ai-crypto-bubbles-speculative-mania/105884508) with ‘If AI and crypto aren’t bubbles, we could be in big trouble’ where we see “What if the trillions of dollars placed on those bets turn out to be good investments? The disruption will be epic, and terrible. A lot of speculative manias are just fun for a while and then the last in lose their shirts, not much harm done, like the tulips of 1635, and the comic book and silver bubbles of the late 1980s. Sometimes the losses are so great that banks go broke as well, which leads to a frozen financial system, recession and unemployment, as in 1929 and 2008.” As I personally see it, America is going all in as they are already beyond broke, so they have nothing to lose, but the UAE and Saudi Arabia have plenty to lose and the American first are good to squander whatever these two have. I reckon that Oracle has its fallback position so it is largely of, but OpenAI is willing to chance it all. And that is the American portfolio, Microsoft and a few others. They are playing bluff with as I see it, the wrong players and when others are ignoring the warnings of the Bank of England they merely get what is coming for them and it is a game I do not approve of, because it is based on the bluff that gets us ‘we are too big to fail’ and I do not agree, but they will say that it is all based on retirement numbers and other ‘needly’ things. This is why America needs Canada to become the 51st state so desperately, they are (as I personally see it) ready to use whatever troll army they have to smear Canada. But I am not having it and as I see “Dubai’s bold target to attract 10,000 artificial intelligence firms by 2030 is evolving from vision to execution, signaling a new phase in the emirate’s transformation into a global technology powerhouse. As a follow-up to earlier announcements positioning the UAE as the “Startup Capital of the World,” recent developments in AI infrastructure, capital inflows, and global partnerships show how this goal is being operationalised — potentially reshaping Dubai’s economic structure and reinforcing its competitive edge in the global digital economy.” I believe that those behind this are having the best interests at heard for the Emirati, but I do not trust the people behind this drive (outside of the UAE). I believe that this bubble will burst after the funds are met with smiles only for these people to go out of business with a bulky severance check. It is almost like the role Ryan Gosling played in the Big Short where Jared Vennett receives a bonus of $47 million for profits made on his CDSs. It feels almost too alike. And I feel I have to speak up. Now, if someone can sink my logic, I am fine with that, but let those running to this future verify whatever they have and not merely accept what is said. I am happy to be wrong but the setting feels off (by a lot) and I rather be wrong then be silent on this, because as I see it, when there is a ‘market correction’ of $2,000,000,000,000 you can consider yourself sold down the river because there is a cost of such a correction and it should 100% be on the American shores and 0% of the Arabic, Commonwealth or European shores. But that is merely my short sighted view on the matter. 

So when we get to “Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, said the goal reflects the UAE’s determination to lead globally in frontier technology. “Dubai’s target to attract 10,000 AI companies over the next five years is not a dream — it is a commitment to building the world’s most dynamic and future-ready digital economy,” he said. “We already host more than 1,500 pure AI companies — the highest number in the region — but this is just the beginning. Our strategy is to bring in creators and producers of technology, not just users. That’s how we sustain competitiveness and shape the industries of tomorrow.”” I am slightly worried, because there is an impact of these 1,500 companies. Now, be warned there are plenty of great applications of DML and LLM and these firms should be protected. But the setting of 10,000 AI companies worry me, as AI doesn’t yet exist and the stage for Agentic programming is clear and certain. I would like to rephrase this into “We should keep a clear line of achievements in what is referred to as AI and what AI companies are supposed to see as clear achievements” This requires explanation as I see whatever is called as AI as NIP (Near Intelligent Parsing) and that is currently the impact of DML and LLM and I have seen several good projects but that is set onto a stage that has a definite pipeline of achievements and interests parties. And for the most the threshold is a curve of verifiable data. That data is scrutinized to a larger degree and tends to be (at times) based on the first legacy data. It still requires cleaning but to a smaller degree to dat that comes from wherever. 

So do not dissuade from your plans to enter the AI field, but be clear about what it is based on and particularly the data that is being used. So have a great day and as we get to my lunch time there is ample space for that now. Enjoy your day.

Former Tinseltown

Well, they just picketed for a better situation, then there is a fire and now President Trump walks in and makes a ‘proclamation’.

Now, we all have those rolling eyes moment, but I reckon this is the first time it will cost Los Angeles (read: Hollywood) will they have to pay an additional few billions and they weren’t going great to begin with (to no fault of their own).

You see, if we take a ‘few’ examples. We see:

Jurassic World: Rebirth$867,114,68260.8%
F1: The Movie$626,214,58669.7%
Smurfs$89,700,00074.3%
Inside Out 2$1,698,863,81661.6%
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire$572,050,01665.7%

Now these aren’t the big hitters, but the impact is easily seen. The total global revenue is seen and how much INTERNATIONALLY was brought it, so as such I reckon it is easy to hit those numbers with a tariff as well, the president said it was 100%? OK, that is what we will do, hit a tariff over (30%) it and I reckon that Hollywood will be screaming like a little bitch (or like a scream queen) for all that lost revenue. 

When will this president learn that gracing everything with a tariff does not get him anything, only handing the option for European Markets and Asian Markets to do exactly the same? 

And it is not the the world has alternatives, WE can get our movies from Canada, UK, Europe, and in streaming there is more then Disney Plus and Netflix. We can get movies from Shahid, ADTV (Abu Dhabi TV), Viki and others too and several offer free options. As such this was a really bad move as the people all over the planet need cheaper options and you just gave a dozen channels to branch out to Europe and the Commonwealth. So as interest in the ‘Americanized’ channels recede their advertisement money will decrease as well. So how was this a clever move?

And as I see it, Canada is happy to branch out, but so are the movie makers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, that is the one move they hoped would come and soon there will be an influx of Arabic content in Europe and the Commonwealth. 

So in short, there will be a decrease in revenue to America due to tariffs, Advertisement money will go down and interest in American materials will also decrease. And as I see it, the others will also claim “Thank you for your attention to this matter” mister President.

A lovely day it is, I reckon I might get a few minutes of Schitt’s Creek, Dubai Bling or Qalb Al Adala into my daily watch scheme. Oh and these 5 examples might cost Hollywood a simple 735,798,409.28 (if we charge Hollywood 30% over our ‘brought’ income, so what do you think the other 360 annual movies will give to us? This tariff joke works both ways.

I reckon this might be the sillies move the American administration has brought to its own shores. Hollywood was already fighting an uphill battle, but this might be the traffic threshold set just before the top of the hill that will stop whatever they had going for them.

I reckon there will be a few rounds of Champagne for everyone in the Vancouver Film Studios tonight.

Have a great day and for the desperate American Actors/Actresses, please take note at (https://adtv.ae/en/about-us)., they might be looking for you, there is now too much competition in Hollywood. Oh and all this wasn’t a great intelligent academic work. Anyone with an abacus could have numbered this whilst having a coffee.

Wrong premise

That is what I see when I get the news from CBC at present. There are two articles in play. The first one (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-big-step-back-from-us-data-1.7637651) where we see ‘Canadians are taking a big step back from the U.S. — and here’s the data to prove it’ giving us the settings around American travel and goods. What was a little surprise that export to the UK had risen over 60%. With “Canadian exports to the U.S. have dropped off while those to non-U.S. foreign countries have surged — a pattern that could accelerate further as the government races to cut new trade deals and help businesses capitalize on the ones that have already been signed.” And as I see it, this setting will merely increase when Canada starts infringing on American exports to Australia by setting a stronger vibe towards Canadian Tire. And I reckon that Simons could make a decent entry into Sydney and Melbourne as well. 

You see the entire commonwealth is fed up with the White House and its [CENSORED] whatever. He might have thought that he was making pointers by slapping the ABC reporter around asking valid questions in the UK, but the answer was not accepted and we have an issue with bully tactics. 

So as the US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra thinks (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/us-ambassador-to-canada-disappointed-anti-american-campaign-1.7637534) that the setting of “The U.S. ambassador to Canada is expressing frustration over the anti-American sentiment he sees in this country, including from politicians, after U.S. President Donald Trump hit most of the world with tariffs.” Which might have caused concern with Mexico (not his bother), United Kingdom (not his bother), Australia (not his bother) and the EU (not his bother either). The thing that is in his plate are the 51st state mentions. That got the Canadians in an uproar and for the most other Commonwealth nations as well. There is no mention of that from him, is there. I get it. He is the American Ambassador to Canada and he doesn’t want to acknowledge the failings of his own government. He is all about calling waves, but the fact that he is unsuccessful, is due to the larger failing of his own government. So as we get “Hoekstra said Prime Minister Mark Carney’s remark in the House of Commons on Monday that Canada currently has “the best deal with the U.S. worldwide right now” has helped “take the tone and tenor of the debate down.”” Is merely the beginning of a new chapter. The old chapter is now done for and Canada will seek other venues for their goods, as such Mexico and the Commonwealth are larger allies Canada can count on. There is also the setting of the EU and optionally Saudi Arabia and the UAE. You see, it is time for Canada to seek out the revenue spending nations (Saudi Arabia and the UAE). There might be a larger audience for the CG634 currently in use in Canada and the Ukraine (the last one die to donations by Canada) as such there is ample evidence that these helmets hold up in battle. And there is more Canadian hardware that could be sold to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. And as Canada is developing technology to counter hypersonic missiles. There is every chance that Saudi Arabia might be up for a new trade partner, if only not to be dependent on China, replacing China with America gives them a similar dependency and there Canada (Aussies too) might be a willing trade partner. And again America is seeing the short end of that trade deal and it pays for Canada to seek visibility of Canadian Tire to whatever either Saudi Arabia and the UAE have. All options that are out in the open. 

The wrong premise is not that we are sick and tired of America (optionally that too), but when. America collapses, which is not that far away at present we all need alternatives and seeking them out now is merely good business. And in light of the disaster that Disney unfolded, there is a definite chance that there are options in tourism too in Yas Island and in Jeddah too. A 3.2 million population in the Mecca province is likely to need all kinds of entertainment and as the banning of Jimmy Kimmel is said to have cost Disney a simple $3,800,000,000 there is every chance that Disney needs to tighten the belt as of this year. All settings that the American Administration called on the world and the world is answering by looking for goods elsewhere. 

So as I see it the premise we see is incorrect, everyone has had enough of the tantrums of an American Administration that can’t get his head in the game and as everyone in the Business Intelligence can tell you, loyalty was a 1960 term that cannot hold up, not after 50 years.

Have a great day today this Monday, but not to fret, Friday is merely 4 days away now.
