Realisation

I just got back from a journey, the reason for this is that I stored a glitch (could be a bug) in my safety deposit box in the city of Nottelling. Perhaps I act on it, perhaps not, it is the second bug I find in an Apple. This is the first one I found in my MacBook Air and I only discovered it after a year of operating this baby in over a year. I never had it in my previous one, but I might not have had this situation before. The first one was a decent bug (very unflattering, but true) in my original G5, there you get the setting that if your FireWire Camera is connected, the firewire connection of your iPod classic will always fail (and that bugger gets hot, really hot) still, I got my optional second bug found. 

So what is up today? 
Well, I was watching a 4K movie of exploring the great Pyramids of Giza when an idea hit me. You see, these 4K movies tend to have a lot more to show than you think and I saw one of Herculaneum and Pompeii recently and when watching this now is when it hit me. What happens when these movies are used to prototype in almost near completion gaming levels? And as it is based on 4K, the details are uncanny. And there are plenty of 4K movies out there. Rome (that village in Italy, famous for its Caesars, Pretorians and Roman soldiers (aka the Italian army), greek places and more modern the settings of places that are out and abundant in the world. The idea is that you have a decent map (optionally a little crude) and the 4K movie is fit over the map and as such the gaming stages (also for education and VR) are mapped out. We then get to the nitty gritty of it all, but when you get some of these movies they are from 75%-90% complete. And that could go a long way into the prototyping of these places and I reckon at a fraction of the cost, because once this system works you can produce place after place and most of these 4K movies are all around us. A player could contact the maker to see if they have any other materials (not published ones) and that could get a map up to 95%-98% completely prototyped. 

And there is no limit to the educational setting of these places. You merely have to look at what these archaeologists have now and what they paid for it to see that these 4K movies of tourists could be the marker in several ways. The stage of Life in Herculaneum (it was a a mere 10km from that hill called Vesuvius) and over time we have had loads of places like Knossos (Crete), Machu Picchu (Peru) and also the not so ancient ones (Buenos Aires, London, Munich) and so on. Whether it is prototyping for education or gaming, the system remains the same and whilst you can verify how much time Ubisoft spend on prototyping Jerusalem for Assassins Creed, Florence for Assassins Creed 2 or Rome for AC Brotherhood and then take the eating of filling in the places from 4K movies and I reckon that you will get a massive saving for game creation (and education too) there is little doubt in my mind that should someone travel this new route, their projects will be completed a lot faster and optionally a lot cheaper than anything else. So consider the setting you get when these ancient times are used to fill levels of Call of Duty, Battlefield or whatever shooting game is now the hottest ticket out there, prototyping these places could be costly as such there is an idea that could send gaming not new direction at a decent reduction of costing.

And that is before you take a gander in some of the hottest places to kill your targets in someplace amazing like Harrods or the Mall of America Bloomington. Considering the optional costs that the game Blacklist required (the level with that enticing Christmas song), now consider what the cost of that level were, compared to walking through a mall with a 4K camera and getting that level prototyped in almost no time and I use prototyped here, because there will always be level based ‘adjustments’ needed. 

So whilst I bid you a jolly farewell and wishing you a lovely day, I will return to my trusty PS5, optionally grumpy over Sony statement ‘Sony argues it’s already obvious that digital games aren’t owned by consumers’, is that so Mr. Sony. Then why are digital games more expensive than physical ones? If someone looks at the cost of a digital game versus a physical one, even in a day one setting, the digital one tended to be a lot more expensive. As such there is nothing obvious about that, being that the game is owned after you downloaded that and as I see it, this setting is depending on a changing setting around digital laws and I reckon that they were fearful of losing against Microsoft on the past, but as they is now no longer a threat, they are no longer fearful of the future. As such we could wait on what the God of War series and Horizon series will do because the world is a massive fan of these two, but if these two makers (optionally Bethesda too) decide another path not aligned with Sony, Sony will have its hands full holding onto the fans they have. I am in a city, but I am fearful what the non-city dwellers face, because it will take up to 5 years (if ever) before they have a workable solution. And losing this much fellow gamers is not my cup of tea. But that is a story for another day. I have done my bit for gaming, gamers, education and educators today, so I feel decently happy.

Enjoy your day of gaming, if only for a little while.

It hasn’t dropped yet

That is an apparent setting and there is ‘no blame’ to anyone. But the simple setting is that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hasn’t dropped the ball yet. They have set a few things in motion, but where it goes is anyones guess. I have had my settings on something massively similar since mid 2022. I wrote about it in my blog ‘Girdle your loins’ which I wrote on November 30th 2022 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2022/11/30/girdle-your-loins/). I left the ‘issue’ with Andy Jesse (an Amazonian bigwig) because Amazon had the wave of the future and now as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has acquired Electronic Arts, a new play comes into being. The only part missing is a streaming system and they might want to acquire Google’s Stadia and create games for the PS5 and optionally the Nintendo Switch (2) as well. If they include stream deck they are likely to maker millions of dollars and become a lot more competitive in the gaming sector. With the speculative understanding that Microsoft is then devaluated to fifth position and they become the new winner of the wooden spoon.

So what gives?
Well to see that, we need to go via the settings that I am seeing. The old setting was that the games from the 90s are remastered to todays gaming needs. There is an upside. If they acquired the IP of Electronic Arts, they might also have the jackpot, because EA released a massive amount of games in the late 80s and 90s. All these games are up for rerelease at present. This requires them to set up gaming studios in Saudi Arabia, but with this setting there is an ability to stream these beginners into high priced executives and it is all done in Saudi Arabia. There are the plain remasters, but when you think of a title like Defender of the Crown, a game that beckons Islamification and whilst the game premise changes somewhat, we now get similar location settings for Acre, Jerusalem, Antioch, Constantinople, Edessa, Damascus and Jaffa. There could be tactical upgrades as well and the setting that Saudis see as the battlements are increased in graphics and enhanced (like the movie Kingdom of Heaven, 2005) and that is merely one title. So whilst we see renewed versions of Command and Conquer, Syndicate, Dungeon master and a few others, these games in their near original state could beckon thousands of gamers (I believe it is millions, but being overeager is not a good thing here) and should Saudi Arabia take over the Google Stadia there is the setting that a streaming device is clearly in the hands of Saudi Arabia, optionally depriving American advertisers of coin, leaving it in the hands of Saudi Arabia. And there are plenty of gaming sides that could be renewed. It would allow a mash of Saudi music composers out the world, with enhanced graphics all over the place. Saudi Arabia now has the setting that could set them and my idea for that next generation console would bank them up to $6 billion annually and a lot more after phase two is completed. You see, what Amazon overlooked was the fact that there are 1.9 billion Muslims and a lot of them like gaming and they are spread over the Arabian peninsula, Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia. There are also scores of hem all over the EU and America. These are all pockets of addressable gamers and that is what I saw as early as late 2021 and in 2022 I made my move where they could see these fractions become a force of  advertisable people (according to the Muslim rules of advertisement) 

So no mater what Saudi Arabia does, these games are a first step to get the waves of gamer coming into their fold. So whilst the gaming community had little impact on lets say Indonesia, it is a place with over a quarter of a billion people and I saw that a system could propel them into the light. Consider a setting where these businesses advertise in a simple book that is in every console and like the Yellow pages they could register for free and for a mere $1 per month they could get a little more space and a bold naming of their place. For $2 a month they could add a picture. Now consider this over the setting of Egypt (170M), Pakistan (260M), Indonesia (288M) and several other places at that point close to a billion people could register in the yellow pages of this console. Muslims advertising and creating awareness to other muslims. And it starts free and when the revenue comes in, they might enhance their presence and all this comes to the coffers of Saudi Arabia. I saw this 5 years ago and as Google dropped their Stadia I handed it to Amazon (they never reacted), so now Saudi Arabia gets the setting where a gaming company starts a mot more and whilst I feel certain the the revenue will be $15 billion plus after stage one and my estimates are conservative. I absconded from adding advertisement revenue, because that requires hard data and I don’t have any, I can merely speculate on this, but the console would bring in its revenue, but it all starts with games and now that Saudi Arabia acquired Electronic Arts, that setting is up for grabs and they could start creating games for the Sony PS5 and Nintendo Switch and these numbers are legion. After that the SteamDeck which will make them hungry to buy the Google Stadia and that is where the game changes a lot. Which added media, they could now get ready to overwhelm the Muslim world with an optional Saudi console. Perhaps  renaming it to the Kingdom Console might be an option? It is what is out there and it has been out there for over 5 years. So as these captains of industry dropped the ball there, there is no setting the might please Saudi Arabia more and as I see it, they need one other IP to be handed to them (which might be in the power of Google to do) but then the pegs are sucked and sorted and a larger option becomes available. 

What a nice continuation of this Sunday. Have a great day.

The coils are unwinding

That is a setting, it is not the stated setting, but the larger brief was already seen by me in a few ways. As such Antara News, only three hours ago, I was given ‘Indonesia, Saudi Arabia sign MoU to boost direct foreign investment’. For clarity (to some) Antara is the state owned news agency of Indonesia. And they give us “The agreement was signed on Tuesday (August 4) by Indonesian Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Roeslani and Saudi Arabian Minister of Investment Fahad bin Abduljalil Al-Saif. According to Minister Rosan, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia share a close relationship built on mutual trust, respect and long-standing people-to-people ties. This partnership is now expanding into various strategic investment cooperation to generate concrete economic benefits for both nations, Rosan said in his statement on Wednesday (August 5). Between 2021 and the first half of 2026, the Ministry of Investment recorded that Saudi Arabia’s realized Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Indonesia reached US$126.2 million.” And it was no surprise as I wrote about this in my views on November 30th 2022, I saw it months before that and we see that Saudi Arabia is making its move to get to the hearts and minds of 273 million muslims. As I see it, Al Arabiya, stc tv and SBC TV will now move into a ‘new’ area and there is a lot to be had, if your explode Saudi TV interests. And I saw this almost 4 years ago. I had some IP connections to this idea, because when I have an idea I tend to mull things over. Now we see “The partnership also outlines mechanisms for private-sector consultations, joint investment promotion campaigns, expert delegation exchanges, and technical knowledge sharing. Furthermore, it serves as a platform for strengthening institutional coordination between the investment authorities of both countries.” As I see it, this implies that Huawei and Saudi telecom and broadband streaming idea are about to make a larger inroad into East Asia. I reckon that the north of Australia and its Muslim and Indonesian population might like this as well. 

So as we see the ‘investment cooperation’ take a larger intern, there is a decent chance that telecom and TV upgrades will be coming to places like Djakarta (aka Batavia), Surabaya, Bekasi, Bandung and Medan soon enough. OK, I admit that this is speculation, but so far the ideas I had are playing out just the way I envisioned. And whilst the US economy is dead set on (fake) AI and investments are spinning out of control, all whilst too many sources are giving that no return on investments are due until at least 2029, there is every consideration that the investments of Saudi Arabia are merely a year away, and with this I mean the break even point. After that it is decently pure profit and it gets better after that. With Indonesia, Pakistan has little option but to follow that wave and Saudi Arabia get the setting from Haql to Jayapura and I am guessing that Pakistan doesn’t want to be left out, so it would join that fraternity of voices. In 4 years Saudi Arabia went from  13400 km to 11,635.03 km, as I see it, Saudi Arabia is about to become the dominant voice in South East Asia, so whilst we will be getting some BS approach from the United States about how that doesn’t matter, consider that the reach of Saudi Arabia almost went from 100% of Saudi Arabia to the stage where 1000% of the Saudi voice is being reached. And that is before we consider that they can now reach half a billion Muslims, as such Al Arabiya will be wielding a considerable bat in baseball terms and slamming that ball over the equator is what matters in telecom terms. Now consider that Saudi Arabia had a MoU with Egypt in stc as well (I believe it was 2024) and now consider that Saudi Arabia can now reach from southerns EU almost to western Japan, so do you think this is mere weakness? With Huawei it will put a stopper on all the BS that the United States with their anti-China were giving and now we see how innovation works. It doesn’t go for the wannabe technology of optionally next decade, it goes for the places that everyone is overlooking tomorrow and Saudi Arabia was there from the start. Alas no coins for me, but to see innovation elevate itself whilst these so called captain of industry are marginalizing the settings they don’t care about is a joy for the eyes and the mind. 

And all this was out in the open from November 2022. I know that because I wrote about it, which is the little sidestep of any blog, it gives (written) evidence about what seemingly is, not some TV channel who belittles what they have to in some morning TV show, because that is how miscommunications start and that is where these so called captains of industry tend to hide and often it is behold the small statement “There was some level of miscommunication in this”, so that is how they get rich? Now we see that Saudi Arabia is actually gaining wealth, because all this comes with advertising according to Islamic rules (I honestly don’t know this rules), but I feel certain that it will go according to the rules Indonesia has and whilst these people are less and less impressed with western baloney, Indonesia will now be able to advertise towards population that it does want (implying Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Qatar and the UAE). All this was out in the open and as I see it, Yesterday Indonesia made the next move in achieving that (as written in Antara). So you all have a great day and consider what other revenue is lying on the floor ignored by the powers to wannabe, because it just isn’t AI.

Wrong footing?

This happens, we all get our footing wrong, even I. As such I had my ‘ideas’ about Ahmed Mawlana, nothing bad. But whilst we see ‘Has the UAE’s meteoric rise reached its limit?’ Which is given to us by the Middle East Eye (at https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/has-uaes-meteoric-rise-reached-its-limit), so Ahmed Mawlana is a researcher specialising in International Relations and Security Affairs. He holds an MA in international relations from Sabahattin Zaim University in Istanbul, so as I see it, he is no grocery wannabe. And I am fine with that. So as we see “In less than two decades, Abu Dhabi has transformed itself from a relatively low-profile Gulf state into one of the region’s most assertive powers. How did a country of around one million citizens acquire such an outsized regional role? The UAE’s rise is linked to its ability to capitalise on successive regional crises, beginning with the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, accelerating with the Arab Spring, and gaining strength amid Washington’s declining engagement in the Middle East.” He ends the article with “Ultimately, the principal constraint on the Emirati model is structural. The UAE possesses immense financial resources and an extensive network of international partnerships, but it remains a small state with a limited citizen population and little strategic depth – making it difficult to sustain prolonged regional crises, or to confront larger powers directly.”

I get what he write and there is logic in this, but I also see what the UAE has achieved and whilst I was never there, YouTube has been very vocal (it’s YouTube creators) to show us all what the UAE has achieved. In support of my way of thinking is the Reuters article that gives us ‘UAE non-oil growth hits four-month high in July, PMI shows’ (at https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/uae-non-oil-growth-hits-four-month-high-july-pmi-shows-2026-08-05/) where we see: “The United Arab Emirates’ non-oil private sector grew at its fastest pace in four months in July as new orders climbed to a ‌five-month high and export business rose, a business survey showed on Wednesday.” As I see it, the non-oil part is essential here. We see the growing tourism and service settings. We see additional maritime growth and that is merely the beginning. The UAE has a lot to gain in all this, which is why I have ‘issues’ with the setting of Ahmed Mawlana. He might be correct, but the term “meteoric rise reached its limit” can be explained in a few ways. One of them is that the stellar growth might be gone. I don’t think so, especially as tourism can still grow a lot more, but that is possible. Still as we see Real Estate and tourism grow, there is still the difference between strong growth and meteoric rise, so whilst the second has reached its peak the first one is still within the grasp of the UAE. Personally I think it is becoming time to make Iran extinct. A shameful thought to have, nut they did that to themselves and I created 4-5 military IP’s to make something according to that need happen (I am more of a surgical instrument) why kill when you can destroy their abilities and commodities so they destroy themselves. I am at times that simple.

So whilst we get the setting that Reuters gives (just a few) 

  • Firms linked this to easing regional tensions and stronger activity across the Gulf.
  • Employment returned to growth after June’s steep drop.
  • Business confidence weakened for a third straight month to its lowest since March.
  • Backlogs of work rose at the strongest rate in four months, reflecting firmer demand and freight congestion.
  • Input cost inflation edged closer to April’s recent peak.
  • Firms raised selling prices again, but only mildly.

Which is also slightly debatable. For instance we see “Business confidence weakened for a third straight month to its lowest since March”, which I accept as one of the given facts, but at this point I wonder how that confidence level is when compared to the US economy setting of the United States? This question is formed as Al Jazeera gives us ‘Why did the US economy slow down?’ (at https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2026/8/4/why-did-the-us-economy-slow-down) where we see “The US economy slowed more than expected, but it’s not because Americans stopped spending. So what really happened? The answer lies in how economic growth is measured, and America’s massive investment in artificial intelligence”, yet the other (not given fact) is that players like Deloitte give us “While broad corporate spending is skyrocketing, tangible financial returns often take two to four years to materialize instead of the usual 7 to 12 months for standard tech” and I have a problem with that. Some sources give us “Studies indicate that up to 95% of early generative AI pilots struggle to show a clear positive financial return because tools are deployed without changing underlying workflow” and I see the class actions forming and that is messing with the RoI (Return on Investment) as well. All this is making the US Economy not a volleyball but a paintball at best and anyone who gets hit by its paint is heading for stormy weathers (not the girl), although the effect are the same, but not as pleasurable. In all this, there is optionally a cause for not seeing meteoric rise but strong growth is still on the table, no matter how muddy the United States administration makes some ‘facts’ look. And in all this, I till see plenty of options for the UAE, I merely think that they need to go of the AI horse. The AI is lousy and all AI is Fake AI (as I personally see it), so why bury yourself in 3-8 years of turnaround (I definitely disagree with the Deloitte numbers. I reckon that the UAE has a better setting throwing themselves on actual programming and creating stuff that has the turnaround time of 7-12 months. Let big tech break their teeth on tech that is over a decade away. They might survive, others will not and I do not trust the settings that the United States are throwing out there. Too much of it is not validated and as I perceive it not verified in any way. The UAE has actual issues to face (that terrorist state Iran) and holding their coffers in a 3 to 8 years wait state is no solution. 

Perhaps I am seeing this wrong, these fake AI have real options, ML and DL are great tools (I use the term DML as they are combining the two) and I have seen great solutions, but that setting in a 3-7 years setting is not a real solution. Consider the issues that some are reconsidering idea that are out there ‘How Commonwealth Bank and Microsoft are reimagining the future of customer service’, which I see as nothing more that the setting that NICE and CX One already have. So whilst that is happening. I wrote ‘Two paths to similar stages’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2022/03/30/two-paths-to-similar-stages/) in March 3022, so it is not a last minute idea. There was more, and in light of the Tourism settings in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the idea started to form to have a Muslim solution (I meant Arabic) that industry is exploding to a larger degree whilst they are all pushing American solutions which are not 100% covering Islamic rules and ideas. That should stop and I saw an opening for the UAE and Saudi Arabia to get one solution in the field that would fuel both nations, optionally Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan and a few other places. So whilst Microsoft had this inflated idea with “CBA will work with Microsoft to drive greater customer benefits through wider adoption of generative AI (Gen AI) and ongoing cyber security initiatives” I saw this idea 4 years earlier whilst not using AI, because it would be decades before we are there. 

Just thinking out loud. Have a great day today

Valid questions

After the surge I felt when I was ‘valued’ at $150,000,000 I got all happy and dreamy on the subject (that would be me) and delusional thoughts of Sergey Brin offering me $50,000,000 but he needed one small favour of me. You guessed it, he wanted Gemini to get exclusive access to my articles and he had set the premise of moving me to Google Blogger to get that done (not the worst idea) but it was not merely delusions. My brain in the background was working out other things and the dopamine that the scenario was giving me seemed to push that carrot along (there were more dreamy thoughts and the carrot in that setting makes sense). So, as I was considering an additional life in Toronto, with a long weekend trip to Quebec and the Galeries de la Capitale, my mind went on a surge. Things in the aftermath of it all doesn’t make much sense but at that moment It did. I stopped at M. Souvlaki for a pita Gyro and it all started to make sense to me when I saw the visitors card (online at the website of Galeries de la Capitale). Where we learn that “Out-of-town and international visitors are entitled to our visitor’s card which provides access to exclusive discounts at select retailers. *Visitor’s address must be 40km from Quebec City. An ID with proof of residence is required validation to obtain the visitor’s card. Some restrictions may apply.” You see, I have never ever been to Quebec, but consider the setting international (and Toronto Eaton Centre), this visitor pass could be the ticket to drive commerce in specific places and tourists are the ones who really like discount offers. Sydney (Westfield), London (Covent Garden), Netherlands (Bijenkorf) and many other places could adopt that idea of a visitors pass. It is marketing that earns itself back almost instantly. 

You see, I have no idea how I knew about the visitors pass, but there must have been a notice I saw out of the corner of my eyes. It is the only thing that makes sense. So, 8 hours ago the Economist gave us ‘What will Kevin Warsh do if America’s economy breaks?’ Because as I have seen this for a few months, it is about to break and as I see it, the Chair of the Federal Reserve of the United States will openly have to defend the stupidity of this American administration and I think he won’t be able to, as such he will be dealt the ace of spades quite quickly and it will not include a serenade by Motorhead. So, as I see it, I saw opportunity in my view, but it quickly translates to a generic economic opportunity. I reckon that malls in Saudi Arabia and the UAE are contemplating similar settings. I don’t think that places like Harrods (London) and the Dubai Mall need them, but there are all kinds of malls all around these two places that might consider getting these few steps of visibility.

And as the Telegraph (UK) gives us ‘US and Japan take action to prop up yen’ I wonder why the United States wants to do this. Is it merely to score brownie points, or are they worried that the Yen and the US dollar can now no longer counter any serious act to own the dollar? The connected news from 24/7 Wall Street is ‘The $1.2 Trillion Reason Scott Bessent Just Bought Japanese Yen’ I get the connection, but not the reason. You see president Trump is all about MAGA and America First, which is a scuttled wreck to say the least and I will be the first to look at alternative reasons, but being a non-economist I have no real chance of finding it, but anyone who wants to really know that, I would advice them to call Prime Minister Mark Carney (at +1 613-992-4793), because he would likely know. 

So whilst we are given ‘As Trump cites progress on deal to end war, Iran and Israel remain on alert’ (source: Washington Post) we are also given ‘Iran war live: Tehran says Hormuz negotiations with Oman in ‘final stages’’ (source: Al Jazeera) which leads me to the conviction that there is no deal to end the war coming and Tehran is setting the stage of more disruptions. As such the only act that makes sense is that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (with optional help of the United States) put the pressure on the Houthi terrorists and make sure that the Bab-al-Mandab Strait remains open for business, because that will also impact Egypt and the Suez Canal. The complication is seen in Iraq as we are given ‘Yemen’s Houthis are attacking Saudi Arabia from Iraq, sources say’ (source: Reuter) and as I have given voice to better strategy from March 1st onwards (even creating new weapon systems to do so) I am left with a dangerous question. Is president Trump fueling destabilisation on the Arabian peninsula? That setting is getting more and more traction on a global level. As I have predicted (several times) the economy of the United States is done for, so the only option left is to minimize their losses and make sure others have a lot more to worry about. Is it a valid question to ask whether the United States is working from the premise “It is not enough that I succeed, all others must fail” a setting we have attributed to Genghis Khan (ca 1200) and Larry Ellison (1988) who was the head honcho at Oracle. So does my setting make sense? You only have to see the clusterfuck the Iranian war seemingly is and the effects of of spending 39 billion on trying to achieve on what I could have done with merely 1 billion and of course the ‘expedited’ dismantling of 10 refineries, closing harbours and stopping their railways. A simple setting I gave months ago and been now we see some kind of scenario, all whilst Iran is doubling down on gaining the ‘trust’ of Oman?

How weird is all that, so I fear for those who are in some kind of ‘entrusted’ setting with the American administration, because that will bite the trusted allies really quick and quite soon. As we see the BBC give us a few days ago ‘US economic growth sees surprise slowdown in second quarter’ makes me wonder as this was clearly in the cards, Is the BBC catering to another premise and need? Is that a valid question?

I leave it to you to see the numbers, the effects and the questions voiced, whilst the valid questions are not answered, not anywhere as far as I can tell (or at least not in sources that are supposed to be valid) but it might merely be me, which could be all kinds of valid, but I have been asking similar questions for months, so  don’t think its me and I handed my IP to sources that seemingly needed them, so I feel verified and sanctified (a weird setting) because it as not done out of greed, but out of the facts I see and Iran had to be stopped. And if I can clearly see that, why can’t the Pentagon see that? Unless they are facing a different war at present. I will leve that up to my readers to consider that setting.

Have a great day today.

The start of isolation

That is at times a signal, at times a revelation and at times mere common sense. Arab News (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/2652675) is giving us ‘GCC declares full support for Saudi measures to protect its sovereignty’ which is nice to hear. I got there over a year ago, as such it is nice to see others are following my charge (my illusional moment). You see, Arab News is giving us “The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi on Wednesday declared the Gulf states full support for all measures the Kingdom takes to protect its security and sovereignty. The secretary-general affirmed the Gulf states support for the Saudi measures and stressed the bloc’s condemnation to the drone attacks targeting the Kingdom’s oil facilities.” I myself was on that page on the 15th of September 2019 after the Abqaiq–Khurais attack. Iran was responsible, they might have played the ‘were innocent’ card and let Houthi terrorist make the claim, but the drones were too successful and the Houthi terrorists lacked the ability to be that effective. As such the IRGC was pointed to as the only viable suspect. As such it was nice for the GCC to finally see the need for Saudi Arabia be given the ‘all clear’ and that is the start of isolation for Iran. So whilst we get “Bahrain also affirmed its support for Saudi Arabia, saying the kingdom has all the right “to respond to any aggression and deter aggressors.” 

The remarks came after Saudi Arabia carried out precision strikes early Wednesday targeting Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. The Saudi step came in line with the Kingdom’s right to self-defense, the kingdom’s defense ministry said.” So whilst we see that the member states are Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, I have no idea how Oman is seeing this, but that might be the only remaining ‘fan’ Iran has left. The setting at present is that Oman has a partnership defined by active neutrality, geographic interdependence on the Strait of Hormuz, and a long history of diplomatic mediation. But as far as I see it, that is likely the only GCC fan it has left. On the upside, it is always good to have one ‘impartial’ setting in any case (should Iran actually resort to active diplomacy), but the setting is that Iran has no allies left beside the terrorist parties it fueled through decades of weapon sales, sold (as I personally see it) for $0, for jobs achieved and now they have only that left, but in all this. These parties were given that their setting would be active hostilities to Israel. The idea that they might face the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with additional attacks by the United States armed forces was something they did not expect. They were always ready for US forces in combination of Israeli forces. But the setting of Saudi forces, or better stated angry Saudi forces is a setting they were not ready for and a Saudi Arabia, that needs it safety guaranteed will resort to measures that they are not ready for. 

And that is the step that will be isolating Iran, in ways they were not ready. They made a bet that they were safe with the setting of asymmetric warfare and this is now coming to an end. Saudi Arabia is now getting the support of the entire GCC, as such Houthi terrorists will be scrambling for any hideout they can, because there won’t be any support from Iran coming their way any day soon. Iran is now in deep waters. They were hoping to get away with it a little longer, but the GCC support towards Saudi Arabia ends that train of thought. Even as we are getting ‘Houthi To Impose Toll Fees in Bab El Mandeb Strait’, I reckon that Saudi Arabia will be enforcing of zero tolerance on the toll setting by Houthi terrorists, so whilst we are given “Yemen gov’t says Houthis planning to impose fees for Red Sea transit, A minister in Yemen’s internationally recognised government on gave Wednesday” from several sources, most media sources ‘state’ that Houthis are considering this, like they had anything to say about this. As the strait of Hormuz didn’t pan out for Iran, they got their lackey to try this for the Suez role and in this setting it is likely that Egypt might give some kind of military support to keep its Suez revenue safe. And when Saudi Arabia has dealt with the Houthi threat, Iran will become the loneliest bully in history. 

Just a thought to consider in all this. But as I see it, the proclamation (can I call it that?) that the GCC stands with Saudi Arabia is a welcome setting in all this and as I see it, it will bind the hands of Iran and its terrorist allies. So, at present I am going with the phrase better late then never. 

So, have a good day and lets see what happens tomorrow, it beats reporting on the failure that Optus in Australia has become.

Partially delusional

That is the setting and it is not on anyone other then myself. You see, I saw the news and I saw a page that they didn’t advertise, as such I gave it my own whirl and it might be a delusional side to myself. I am warning you in advance, so you do not think that I have ‘some secret source’ to divulge a side that isn’t there. So be warned.

This morning I saw ‘Leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE invited to G7, Macron says’ (source: Times of Israel) where we see “Leaders from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will be invited to participate in a G7 session in France next week to discuss the war with Iran, French President Emmanuel Macron says. Next Tuesday’s summit session will focus on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran, which has “a real impact on our economies” due in particular to soaring fuel prices, and on “negotiations on Iran,” Macron says.” And I have a personal view on this. I expect that at some point there will be singular meetings with a few designated officials and they will likely be PM Mark Carney of Canada, President Emmanuel Macron of France, Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany and they will have meetings with the representatives of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Egypt. These last 4 will have a separate meetings with the big three. I believe that it is the next stage to get America out of every meeting, because the EU (Canada too) has had enough of the United States. The underlying setting is that the United States is likely to fail to fit the setting of a major industrialized democracy soon enough. And the other members are looking to replace the United States with at least one of them. My voice will be both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, but that is my view. What seems to be the case that optionally Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission will make a ‘sudden’ appearance but that is the gist of it. The United States let itself be dictated by a useless bully and they are likely striking back. In addition, we got news that ahead of the G7 meeting, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron are set to hold talks with China. Not sure yet how China fits in, but the setting that the United States is on the way out, implies that the EU needs to have a meeting with China, optionally the setting that BRICS represents gives me pause to consider what else is on the table. But that is the setting I see (and I could be massively wrong). But the field without the United States if one that regards considering, because in that field the Euro needs a new anchor and if it not the US dollar, I reckon that field becomes open and whilst the Yuan could be an option, my economic knowledge leaves me at this moment (I never had much economic knowledge to begin with). 

But that is a path that is likely opening up and whilst I have advocated for UAE and Saudi tourism, there is a larger offering on the table, but I have no menu and I have no idea what is happening. But PM Carney with his knowledge of the economy and his knowledge as Governor of the Bank of England is a good cause to consider what is coming next. As Canada is also in the G7, there is a larger picture to paint, the doubt becomes wither this picture had the stages of vibrant red and golden yellow of the Chinese flag, or it is painted with the fading colours of the American Red, White, and Blue remains a question, but the United States did this to itself when it decided to bomb Iran from 28 February 2026 onwards is one setting, the additional settings are the tariffs that were deemed illegal by the courts of America and then ‘reenacted’ by President Trump on other matters. The nation is out of control and the EU has had enough. Now we see the alternating sides where the United States has no longer any influence and without influence the United States doesn’t seem to amount to anything serious. Take in account that ‘Trump says he is ‘not looking to renew’ CUSMA trade agreement’ (source: Global News) implies that the United States is heading for a lot more serious negative times ahead and the other G7 parties need a way out. It is my believe that they will see it, by replacing the United States by both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, optionally it becomes the G10 if Qatar and Egypt are added too. 

So is this real? It is my believe that this is where the EU is headed, but we will know more in  Évian-les-Bains, France, from June 15 to 17, 2026. So next Monday will be the start of the meetings, but I reckon that Tuesday will give some light on this, because this event is not secret for much longer after that. I wonder what bully screaming we will hear from Washington DC at that stage, it will be anyones guess. But as some ‘vocally’ gave us that they didn’t need anyone, consider that commerce requires clients, so why will they sell to? Their local population requires services and goods. So what services does the United States have? What goods do they have? It was all intertwined with foreign settings and they cut it all off, all whilst they have no self servicing settings. So whilst they proclaim that they have it all, Brent oil will not look kindly on cheap oil walking away, their own oil is sold and when that falters, icon take a deeper dive and it is all against a debt that amounts to $39.23 trillion, with an interest of well over a trillion a year and now more and more is regarded as ‘no-go’ zones. There is little doubt that the US economy will implode. And these ‘generating’ data centers, all whilst the EU is cutting access off? There is little doubt in my mind that a panic will set into the United States and likely it will be visible before next week ends. But then, these are merely my thoughts and there is every consideration that I am wrong. Because I have no data to support any of this, but it is drenched into my views on data that I have seen over the last few years. So there is that.

Have a great day today.

Creation and creativity

That is the setting I see. Someone ‘alerted’ readers that Israel will be preparing for a ‘forever war’ and that might apply to some extent. They reacted poorly to Iran, but not all in all unexpected. Israel was under attack for the longest time of my life either direct, or indirect by Iran. So their setting makes sense to me. But in that same setting a new door is opening up for the UAE. They get the option to open the door of creation and creativity is where the bucks come. You see, if my setting of the United States make sense, America is about to become hindered by its own arrogance and their new reality of ‘we can no longer play that game’, but in that same sense of one, the other setting also becomes clear. 

So I will take a step back and lead you through that setting. Arabic is spoken in most of the Islamic nations and in that setting we get: 

Egypt – population of 90,000,000
India – population of 200,000,000
Indonesia – population of 250,000,000
Pakistan – population of 233,000,000
Bangladesh – population of 150,000,000
Turkey – population of 80,000,000

Which gets us a population of more than a billion and we still have all of the gulf states to get through. These are merely the top 6 and as I see it, it will be soon that the population of the United States will no longer be able to service them. A billion in Business Intelligence and all the dollars that combine them (as well as the Gulf States) and it is business right there for the picking up. So whilst we get IBM and their statistics, Oracle and their databases, Oracle Database provides extensive support for the Arabic language through its National Language Support (NLS) architecture, which handles character sets, sorting, and cultural conventions. But that setting might lose ground support from the United States, now combine that with Business Intelligence, the training of these people and the support from other regions is now getting close to a freewill and adjusting regional support (like Tourism) gets a new lease on life. Combine this with the settings that NICE (an Israeli customer care solution) gives the world, we see settings that might (might is still the operational preferred word) to a population of well over a billion and for the UAE and its near unique position would be able to service this setting to these nations and other too. And as things go from services, the education there might also be in a near free-fall as we see that the United States will lose more and more handle as their services fall short. The UAE could be one of the first to pick up the shortfall and takeover of these elements. As such the UAE comes out stronger and now we see an acquired setting where others might not be ready to take over the elements that were in hands of the United States for the longest of times. But as its settings fall short, they will make knee-jerk reaction to hold on to so many things and more and more service will fall free into the air. A perfect opportunity for the business sense of the Emirati people. 

When you get to think of this, you might think that the United States would hold on to this, but when the first services started to fumble, a lot more comes clear for a free-fall. The AFR gave us (on Tuesday) ‘Jamie Dimon is counting the straws that will break the market’s back’, Forbes is giving us “Every April, Jamie Dimon publishes his annual letter to JPMorganChase shareholders, and every April, the financial press spends a week dissecting his views on the economy, geopolitics, and regulatory reform. Meanwhile the technology section and references—arguably the most consequential parts of the letter for anyone working in banking or fintech—get the least attention. But not from me. Here’s what Dimon said about technology, and why every community banker and fintech executive should be paying close attention:

In a section on new products, Dimon wrote that the risks around customer data misuse are “likely to get far worse with AI and agentic commerce.” He framed this as an opportunity for JPMorgan to position itself as a trusted intermediary—essentially a consumer data guardian—and flagged plans to roll out products around “control of personal data, safe commerce and customer-friendly algorithms.” Community banks should be asking themselves who their answer to that question is. Buried in the macroeconomic risk section, Dimon mentions that five hyperscalers (Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, Apple) will spend $725 billion on AI-driven capital spending and construction in 2026, up from $450 billion in 2025. The scale creates two problems for smaller banks: 1) the infrastructure gap between large banks and community institutions is widening at a pace that periodic tech upgrades cannot close, and 2) the talent required to actually deploy AI—not buy it, but configure it, govern it, and integrate it—is getting absorbed by the hyperscalers.”

But personally I believe that the story is incomplete (and partially inaccurate) AI is not here, no matter what people say. There is a doom setting towards people not implementing AI, but AI is not here yet, it won’t be ready for decades and people are in this tailspin of doom and all the headless checks squawking ‘Get AI, get AI’ are delusional (some call these squawking chickens Influencers)  and if you pick through that balloon you get a lot of air, but that is all it is. Still the setting of DML and LLM could give some kind of relief when properly applied. I never denied that, but DML/llm is not AI, no matter what the chickens say. And in all this one name on the list is missing. IBM and their Business Intelligence and that is a powerful setting and take their BI and apply it to the top 6 you get one hell of a business venture. And normally there is no getting in-between that. But President Trump and his Big Beautiful Baloney gave life to this opportunity. Too bad for them that the internet is fueled by a WWW setting, not a BBB setting. And now this becomes the option for the UAE (optionally Saudi Arabia as well), but the UAE has a more powerful BI and business setting (this is a speculative setting I see, but I could be wrong), so as we see how the United States is faltering, the failing services for the top 6 named here gives rise to the business opportunity that is falling almost directly in the lap of the UAE. And whilst I might fail to see the how it falls, I believe that Abu Dhabi and Shariah might have the strongest settings. I am not short selling Dubai, merely seeing that these new ventures might be served better in a lower costing setting.

So whilst we see the BS the media feeds the population in the US and optionally EU too, a gap of options will open up in the UAE. Snowflake is already in the UAE (in Saudi Arabia as well), but I lack the knowledge to see where they are at present and I believe that the opportune mind will see a larger field of opportunity. So whilst the world is all screaming (like headless chickens) “Apply IA, apply AI” we tend to forget that only 5 years ago that setting was nil and BI was for almost three decades and out is that soon as the services from the United States are faltering, the UAE now has a option to capture this market and make it Arabic, because the language is part of the new stream, these 6 nations will be the first to capture that opportunity. That has always been the case. As such I say, look where you would go and the United States turned it always into: “Come to us” and when that falls flat, the new players will see what is there for them and I see great options for the UAE (I also want them to enjoy the shortfall others have) which gives rise to the statement “The UAE comes out stronger” and I believe that this believe in self is what is required to had a larger win of an economy handed to the USA for far too long.

So have a great day, my run to the weekend started 90 minutes ago and consider, what else did I miss? I cannot tell where your shortfall is, but I do know that I cannot have seen all the settings of opportunity in a mere three hours. I am clever, but I am not THAT clever, I don’t mind.

Hat in a hornets nest

That is the expression I was given, or better stated that is the expression I remembered as I read something in the Arab News. The actual expression is ‘kick the hornet’s nest’, which translates to “Saying something that makes a large group of people angry or upset all at once.” Which pretty much translates to the setting we have here. And in the Arab News we see “Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned remarks made by the US ambassador to Israel suggesting that Israeli control over the entire Middle East would be acceptable, describing the comments as reckless and a violation of international law.” And as I see it (no disrespect to Israel) is that the middle east can only set in a normalized way when it is controlled by Saudi Arabia and the UAE (a setting I always had faith in) and as far as I know, so does the larger international community. I have no problem that Israel is part of all this, as that is how I personal see it, but the remark by Ambassador Mike Huckabee is quite literally kicking the hornets nest. As such US envoy to Israel Mike Huckabee is trying to carry favor in Tel Aviv (my view on the matter) and that was ‘transmitted’ to Riyadh and the news we see now is the direct result of this. As such we now see “The ministry said the remarks represented a dangerous precedent, particularly as they came from a US official, and amounted to a disregard for relations between the US and countries across the region. It warned that such positions carry grave consequences and threaten global peace and security by inciting hostility toward the peoples and states of the Middle East, while undermining the foundations of the international order based on respect for sovereignty and internationally recognized borders.” I think that (should he have been directed by Washington, that Washington is trying a slightly different tactic, that optionally is shaped by some in a setting towards the Gaza ‘solution’, but I am grabbing at chopsticks at present. And that is a ‘variation’ of ““Grabbing at” food with chopsticks refers to the impolite, frantic, or picky behavior of searching through dishes to find specific pieces, rather than taking the item directly in front of you.” Washington seemingly wants to set the table by picking out the good pieces trying to carry favour and possibly trying to get to the larger stage by seemingly implying that they are making headway whilst the stuff in front of them aren’t being dealt with (or so it would seem). A setting that is my view on the matter. Weirdly enough, I am actually listening to Jesus Christ Superstar at present, which was unintended, but the setting brings a smirk to my face. 

So whilst the New Arab end the article with “The Kingdom reaffirmed its firm opposition to any actions or statements that infringe on the sovereignty, borders or territorial integrity of states, reiterating that a just and comprehensive peace can only be achieved by ending the occupation and implementing a two-state solution. That solution, the statement said, must include the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.” I like that setting as Hamas didn’t exist in those days and any solution that filters Hamas out of that is all right with me. I reckon that I am not alone in this, but that is what it is. I was around Rafah in 1982 and that mess was never dealt with and seeing that same mess half a century later gives me the thought that there is no hope for Palestine, not whilst Hamas is part of that. They did that to themselves and I feel it is essential to clean up that part of Palestine, only then can Palestine be pushed to something real. But as I see it, the remarks by the US Ambassador has no grounds, it was not to get a conversation started, it was merely to seemingly prepare the table with the big chunks of meat in front of the United States whist ignoring the larger settings that are driving any conversation nowhere. Because as I see it there will never be any solution in play whilst Saudi Arabia, the UAE and in this case Egypt are out of that equation. It makes sense that Israel is included in this conversation, but I don’t see it help any, it merely requires a solution they could live with, it is not something Tel Aviv would care to heard, but that is as I see it the reality we have here and no ‘Board of Peace’ is setting that scenery by whisking away the ‘good’ pieces of meat from that table setting. I could be wrong but that is my view on the matter. 

It might be simplistic, but that is what I see after watching that mess for almost 44 years. Have a great day out there. In this heat I feel the need for a cheese sandwich, a sandwich with cold pieces of cheese, for refreshment value of course.

The way of the dodo

Yes, that is a path that I am walking at present. You see, I am (originally) a Catholic. As such I tend to miss the Islamic markers around me. And this year I was aware of Ramadan, even though I do not practice it. So the news given by Morocco World News (at https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2026/02/279298/impossible-moon-saudi-arabia-faces-scrutiny-after-declaring-wednesday-as-1st-day-of-ramadan/) caught me unaware for two reasons. The first setting is that the accusation that Saudi Arabia made an Islamic booboo (as expressions go) is out of the realm of my conception of Islam. In this I am biased. I see Shia Islam (Iran) as evil and Sunni Islam (Saudi Arabia) as good. As such I see Islam of the UAE on the same footing as Saudi Arabia. If people want to convict me of these thoughts, that’s fair (as long as they are Muslim)

So the news given to me was ‘Impossible Moon: Saudi Arabia Faces Scrutiny After Declaring Wednesday as 1st Day of Ramadan’, I was own a different footing. I got that it was Ramadan as Google informed me it was, nothing complex about this. But then I tend to rely on Google on many matters, like the Horoscope, Chinese days and a few more like this and Ramadan fits in that setting for me. So a the News from Rabat is given to me In the form of “Another year, another controversy as experts and observers across the world are surprised and nearly shocked over Saudi Arabia’s decision to declare Wednesday as the first day of Ramadan 2026.

The Gulf country aligns with other nations in the region and beyond, who are facing scrutiny over their decision, with experts and astronomy centers stressing that the crescent moon, called the “hilal”, was impossible to sight last night.” This kinda caught me unaware. I am not a Muslim and as such I am in the dark of these matters. I for one (with my scientific mind) was thinking that as the world is almost a sphere that some will not see what some do see. So, what is visible from Mecca (or Riyadh) might be out of view for Rabat , Casablanca and a few more places. But that is thrown upside down as we are given “Critics say the declaration is against all available data contradicting declarations from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and beyond, which started fasting for Ramadan today. Astronomers had warned prior that highly unfavorable celestial conditions would make it impossible to sight the moon yesterday, February 17. Astronomy calculations suggest the moon sat before or simultaneously with the sun in most Islamic countries. This would serve as an obstacle to leave an observable crescent above the horizon, with both the moon’s age and angular separation from the sun also far below globally accepted visibility thresholds.” I am merely posting what Morocco World News is giving me, because in the first I am not Muslim, I am also neither a astronomer and I wouldn’t be able to do these calculations without an additional 4 years of University level of mathematics and calculus. So I lose out three times. And when we get to the setting of “According to Evrim Agaci, a Turkish science and education organization, the moon was supposed to disappear a mere 42 seconds ahead of the sun’s descent last night” it seems a matter of less than a minute and that is the slimmest of all astronomical settings as I personally see it. And my lack of knowledge and insight into science (as given above) I heralded with “The same source detailed how the moon will set before the sun in many cities, including in Abu Dhabi, where the moon sets one minute before sunset. “In Riyadh, it will set 37 seconds earlier,” Gulf News reported. Several other countries like Jordan, Oman, and Egypt announced Thursday as the first day of Ramadan, acknowledging the impossibility of sighting the moon. Saudi Arabia’s controversy is not limited to this single incident, especially as the Gulf country has long been treated as a reference point by many Muslim countries that model their own calendar decisions on Saudi announcements.” And my comical setting of a town proclamatory walking through Yas Mall (in Abu Dhabi), ringing a bell proclaiming ‘Ramadan has started’ brings a small grin to my mind knowing that the sin goes down a mine later and everyone can enjoy their foods until sunrise. But that is me, always trying to see the bright spot on the moon (its right between Ptolemaeus and Mare Nectaris) And yet, this article gives us another setting, one that I had no knowledge of and no expectation of. It is seen in “Observational data consistently show Morocco is among the most accurate in determining the start of lunar months, as they base their Islamic calendar on actually sighting the crescent moon with the naked eye. This approach relies on different methods, including engaging clerics, astronomers, and armed forces units in a coordinated effort.” I did not expect that to be a strength of Morocco. As such we might say ‘Calculate it again, Sam’ with a small wink at Casablanca. So even as I go the way of the Dodo, I do see that we are all fallible and we all come to conclusions. I am not judging Saudi Arabia, the UAE or even Morocco. But a setting of this magnitude happens. We might think bad, good or anywhere between there and uncaring. But the fact that this happens brings a smile to my face. Because we are all fallible and someone wanting to enter Ramadan a day early should be heralded into doing the best for his or her faith. It is seemingly that simple, at least that Is what I think.

You all have a lovely day and abstain from offering any Elderly Muslim water between dawn (Suhoor) to sunset (Iftar), I would want to do this for humanitarian reasons, but apparently it is not an option to Muslims, knowing this makes my heart hurt a little more than I am comfortable with.
