As one door closes

That was the setting I saw this morning as I took notice of ‘MGX could purchase APAC data center operator DayOne’ (at https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/mgx-could-purchase-apac-data-center-operator-dayone-report/) with the juicy (for some) subtitle “Comes ahead of DayOne’s $20 billion IPO” it opened another avenue for the UAE, you see as the United States has pissed of pretty much every country with their cloud act, the setting that I see is that if MGX embraces the GDPR and adheres to this in several means, Microsoft, Google and IBM will lose the traction they have all over the EU and the commonwealth. So whilst we take notice of “Reuters’ sources said that the MGX acquisition is not finalized and a DayOne IPO could still go ahead. DayOne currently runs a portfolio of more than 500MW of data center capacity in service and under construction, with another 500MW held for future development across Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Japan. The company also has sites in Thailand and Finland.” 

And in case if ChapsVision, it is nice it is getting the Palantir account in France (and optionally in other EU countries as well) but that comes with the addd need for stronger data centers and not in American hands. The Edge (at https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/807778) gives us ‘Abu Dhabi’s MGX weighs multi-billion deal for data centre operator DayOne — Reuters’, which gives us (at https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/807778) that “Abu Dhabi-backed artificial intelligence investor MGX has been exploring buying Singapore-based data centre operator DayOne, three sources said, in what would mark a major step in its global expansion into the technology. MGX has been working with an investment bank in preparation for the potential transaction, said two of the sources, who declined to be identified because the discussions are confidential.” Which implies to me that this is not yet a done deal, as such it is likely to happen, especially as countries are making moves to pull away from the United States and their Cloud Act, but that might not be enough, the secondary stage is that Microsoft as a data Endor is seemingly already on the way out in a few places, so that would be setting the stage that this could indeed happen. So whilst we see “A deal for DayOne could mark MGX’s first acquisition in Asia as the company pursues a lightning-fast international expansion. It was set up a little over two years ago with the US$385 billion sovereign wealth fund Mubadala and AI company G42 as its founding partners. MGX falls under the purview of Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the United Arab Emirates’ national security adviser and brother of the president.” The setting might be that Europe is ‘hesitant’ to replace the yoke of the United States with a Chinese replacement, but if there is a common ground between the UAE and Europe and a (for a lack of a better term) a Chinese wall is inserted in the European centers, a larger benefit to Emirati revenue could be right here. It all depends on how the UAE plays this ad what guarantees they could give the EU and the Commonwealth. As such there could be a new player in the town of Europe and under the much stricter rules of the GDPR, solution could be drawn. On a personal note, I reckon that China does not fear being left out of data as long as the United States loses a mouthful of revenue. Adobe, Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft could all lose a chunk of their revenue and that puts the United States on the defense to keep whatever they can hold onto, as I see it, at present it sucks to be the President of the United States. And after the folly that is called “the Iranian peace treaty” and President Trump implying that they could ask for Tolls in the strait of Hormuz, angering many nations, especially ones trying to get oil across the strait, (source: Al Jazeera) as such the world is looking for other solutions and several firms might regret ever giving the keys to the united States to President Trump. But as I see it, the UAE is on the job and when one door closes, another tends to open and this might be the moment for the EU and Commonwealth to talk to the UAE in finding a solution that they can live with, the question is, will the UAE play game with Europe and the Commonwealth? My guess is yes, especially is China at the stage realizes a massive drain on the revenue of the United States, it could be the death stroke against the coffers of America and from there is goes downhill fast in the former land of opportunity.

I reckon that the next stage becomes opening another site in France, giving more power to ChapsVision, not sure if it is needed, but all the traction helps. And a second data centre in Europe would give several benefits, especially if these two centers are connected and support each other in case of data congestion, because that is bound to happen, but if two centers are connected, there is a larger solution for that. There is still the power use issue, but that is for tomorrow, it all depends on how stretched the power settings in France are and secondary, if Google, IBM and Microsoft are on the way out, there will be room for more. I actually hope that Google and IBM find another solution, but as American firms the Cloud Act is hanging over their heads, so that is the way in for MGX and the United Arab Emirates. 

Have a great day.

Journey with a twist

Several things happened in the last 24 hours. A LinkedIn post set it off. It was about that Palantir was finished, it was a done deal. That stirred a few memories. You see I was introduced to Palantir Government in the late 90s, before it became Palantir Gotham. There was Palantir Finance (I think that this is what now goes for as Palantir Metropolis), but I never saw that. It was a good program and it was powerful. It did not have the bells and whistles that Clementine (now IBM Miner) had, but it was an excellent program and I was looking for my next Customer Service role (I was in a bit of a bad space), so as I had heard of the Palantir events over the year, that post did not make sense to me. So I decided to take a look and find out for myself (I don’t trust anything on social media that I have not personally verified with at least one good source (like a decent newspaper). I found out a lot more than I bargained for. In the first Palantir Technologies Inc is valued at 307.98 billion, this makes sense later on. 

Then I saw ‘Palantir trades into the week as France move puts ai at risk in Europe’ (at https://ts2.tech/en/palantir-trades-into-the-week-as-france-move-puts-ai-at-risk-in-europe/), there we see “Palantir ended June 18 at $128.47, dropping 1.65% for the day but up roughly 0.4% from where it closed on June 12. France’s DGSI is moving to ChapsVision, selecting the company to take over from Palantir as its supplier over several years. Palantir said its current contract is still active.” The French Connection (sorry Popeye) is about to make sense. You see, the rumbling that this White House has embarked on is now showing its rather large nasty feathers. The world is shunning anything from the United States and France sees the setting that and is moving and banking on the French solution called ChapsVision, we are given “ChapsVision is a leading player in the field of artificial intelligence and data processing. With proven technologies that accelerate data acquisition, preparation and processing, ChapsVision supports businesses and government organizations in their digital transformation.” As I see it, it is a (largely) financial solution, and getting up to speed of where Palantir is will take a few years. But France is banking on its ‘local’ solution and with that the European market opens up to France and yes this is likely to be a drain on where Palantir wants to be. So in comes the second story.

This comes from Simply Wall Street (at https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/software/nasdaq-pltr/palantir-technologies/news/palantir-technologies-pltr-stock-could-be-20-overvalued-even) where we see ‘Palantir Technologies (PLTR) Stock Could Be 20% Overvalued Even If Growth Stays Strong’ and here the first red flag comes up, Simply Wall Street does not give a writer, just hide it under the rug (as the expression goes) but there is where the loon try to find stuff, so now we see the initial; value, Which was $308 billion, now we get the other part (which I left out) “Palantir reported a record annual revenue of $4.475 billion for fiscal year 2025. This marked a 56% year-over-year growth compared to their 2024 results, heavily driven by massive domestic adoption of their artificial intelligence platforms.” So when you see this, the 20% overvalued does not make sense. We see what might be coming in 2027/2028, but that is not now and the stages are set to what I personally believe is that someone wants to play a little game called ‘shorting the stock’, if there is enough babbles and bitcoin people, they will overlook what matters and just dump their Palantir stock. Now, be mindful, I am not an economist and I have no economic degrees, but I have three University degrees and a few more ‘accolades’ as I think they are called in data technology and data analyses. I believe that some are thinking that Palantir is a weakling waiting to be plucked and that is not happening on my watch as as I see it, LinkedIn is being used for that and political endings too much. These people are hiding behind “That is what I see and I have a right to speak” that’s fair, but we can expose you as well, so that is the other side of this and Palantir has some of the most powerful software in the world to do just that. I think that Palantir needs to look into the enemies they have. But that is up to them and I wasn’t done yet.

There was more, you see the Guardian gives another side (at https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jun/13/palantir-loses-legal-challenge-to-force-swiss-magazine-to-publish-rejoinders) where we see ‘Palantir loses legal challenge to force Swiss magazine to publish responses’, I feel uneasy on this. I get that Palantir wants to learn “to force a Swiss independent magazine to publish its responses to articles about how the Swiss government rejected its services.” My doubt is that any government can reject services, but they tend to give reasons, isn’t that the case? So when a magazine collects responses, would that not be in the interest of the world to learn the how and why? I agree that this cannot have personalized data, but the entire mess comes across as weird. But the entire setting is what this White House is inflicting on the business end of the businesses of the United States. I saw it coming to some degree, but not to this degree (as I personally see it, the US Administration comes across as absolutely bug-nuts), if you doubt this, consider the simple setting of Measles in the United States, what it was in 2024 and what it is now and that is just for starters. The world is, as they say, fed up with the United States. Should you think I am wrong you could ask that bella bambina Meloni, you can find her at Via dell’Impresa 89, Rome, Italy. Believe me, she has a story for you, it will knock your socks off.

The stage is not her, or what Palantir is facing, but as we see this evolve we see more and more American services being rejected by the EU and Commonwealth to a larger degree. And as I see it, some (like Microsoft) are already running like chickens without a coup in all the offices, because there bonuses are set to keeping the status quo, so the larger bulk of CEO’s are seeing a rather large bump in what they could expect to see diminish.

And for one, Simply Wall Street (yet again) now gives us ‘Palantir Stock And 2 Software Picks With Earnings Growth And Strong Balance Sheets’ (at https://simplywall.st/stocks/jp/semiconductors/tse-285a/kioxia-holdings-shares/news/palantir-stock-and-2-software-picks-with-earnings-growth-and) giving us a second different view. Where we see “Palantir generates about US$2.8b in revenue from Government customers and US$2.5b from Commercial customers, with most of its sales coming from the United States and the rest split between the United Kingdom and other international markets.” As I see it, that sounds more like it and it is about what I have seen and expected, and with the additional “Palantir Technologies has become a focal point for investors looking at real world AI adoption, as its platforms power everything from U.S. defense programs to fast growing U.S. commercial clients. Recent revenue growth of 133% shows how quickly customers are scaling usage. The company combines very high profitability, including a 43.7% net margin and 26.8% return on equity, with a debt free balance sheet and strong cash holdings, which stands out in the software sector. At the same time, the stock trades on rich valuation multiples, insiders have been selling shares and contracts such as the UK NHS data platform face political scrutiny. That mix of quality fundamentals, AI partnerships with groups like Google Cloud and concentrated government exposure creates a story that deserves closer inspection.” At what point does that give credence to the setting that it was 20% overvalued? Perhaps that might be true (I am an economic noob) as gamers would state, but the settings are off. I get that Palantir will face a much harder 2027 and optionally 2028, but ChapsVision isn’t in all the other places yet, this could happen and it will eat away from the pie that is now Palantir, and I for one do not think their excellence in Gotham is easily matched, but give it time and in 2029 it might be a different story, but that is looking too far ahead (I might not even be alive then) and with the way the United States is taking its international responsibilities there is a larger setting that this could happen and there is no way I can type this blog whilst ‘enjoying’ sunshine at 2354 rads. I have medical evidence of that (read: Google Scholar)

So you all have a great day and consider limiting your exposure to LinkedIn, it will become the next hotspot for influencers and BS artists alike.

There was more

You see, yesterday I came up with a new lore system and it kept my from the real setting of the game, because there was a lot more. The first part was that there was a reason why I felt affinity to Paradroid and Hacker. The idea was that there were two mainlines (I had not chosen yet) the first was that this was a recon setting for aliens, the second was that survivors of this world were working from a separate setting (I fancied that one a little more) and the only way is to interact by invading technology and drones with a nano virus but it needs to be a lot more structured than just invade a server or a combination of systems, But the idea is that these nano bots can only invade systems in combined efforts (like a server and a drone in unison) from there we get to see a larger setting and from one system we can combine systems to invade a CCTV setting, but CCTV settings are often shielded, so you need a path towards that setting. So I has not worked it all out, but there was an evolving setting connected to all this. So whilst we get that any CCTV system has connected systems, we need to combine a larger connected systems to connect to larger and bigger connections, so there needs to be somehow an evolving setting like Hacker, where we connect to a drone and CCTV systems, but how to do that and keep an interesting game? That is the question I was bending over, but not in the way Paradroid did it (it had its own charm) and I didn’t want to plagiarize that. From that setting I merely had the idea that several autonomous systems could be infected, but that is the extend the game had ‘traction’ and I didn’t want it to be too much of a stalking approach, other than the need to find out what had happened to the people of that place (like a viral attack, or simply a air-conditioning defect) So whilst I was focussing on elements of the game, I was designing the game in real time, because that is how my mind works and the setting is that different devices had its own versions of Lore, so they are all stories, often not connected and it gives the overwhelming feeling of data. That is bound to happen in all these settings, so how to focus that? I gave the lore setting a go and from there the lore was bound to all kinds of things and I had to create a decent amount to overwhelm the senses (and the game) with lore that might seem bound to have a connection. So there I was in what some would seem a steady stream of data, but what is relevant? You cannot have a ‘data game’ with no responses and all relevant data, that is not how it tends to work, but I was trying to figure out how to get to the good stuff and an overload of data tends to be the setting in many cases. So whilst we ‘infect’ drones and systems, we need connect elements and find a way to connect to a system, the best option is to infect a drone and see where the connection tends to go, so we get two locations already and the evolving nano system has limits in the beginning, so it needs several of both for the nano system to evolve into a stronger system, it needs to develop, just like a real nano system does. But autonomous nano tech is not ‘up for grabs’ and as such I had to evolve the ideas in my brain on how to evolve these settings. 

So whilst I was considering all that, the lore system evolved in my brain and it had many connected benefits and it could benefit the future of larger gaming, because lore tends to be the larger setting for many RPG games and a game about hacking and data has an abundant of that, so while there is a need for the lore, the idea of lore writing itself making the game replay-able has benefits. So does the idea of creating a CCTV mesh of data for an entire city. But that is another mess to consider. What mattered is that I had to figure out how a nanotechnology system could evolve. There is the ‘breeding’ setting where systems provide the resources to breed (like connecting a resource to a router or a dead drone), from there we get more nanotechnology at our disposal but I was still working this out, so when we get more resources we get more nano tech to work with, yet here is also the limitation, although a dead drone could provide thousands of drones, they are stuck un a place, as such we need to connect one to the other and that is part of the puzzle I am working on and how to make this a decent part of any game is the puzzle 

I need to work on, an idea is nice, but how to work this out is the puzzle a designer needs to focus on, because not every idea makes a decent game and that path is riddles with the carcasses of optional great ideas and it still beats the news junk on how newspapers are trying to voice the setting that a ‘great idea for peace’ is not the setting that Trump got played by Iran and how Israel is set towards inaction against people that are trying to destroy Israel and they will not stop, so all that settings are a bit dreary and not worthy of my time, or at least that was how I felt about that yesterday, all whilst we are getting less than an hour ago ‘Trump’s Deal Sidesteps Key Reasons He Went to War With Iran’ (source: Wall Street journal), as such we will see more ‘news’ on the setting that the USA is too broke to be considered a player on the world stage. You see some claim “According to U.S. Treasury financial statements, total federal liabilities have grown to nearly $48 trillion against roughly $6 trillion in assets, leading some economists and commentators to label the government as technically insolvent.” (Source: Yahoo News) Or the fact that “The national debt exceeds $34 trillion, equating to a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 123%” (source: Forbes) and I have been saying this since ‘About America, chapter 11’ Which I published on August 26th 2014, almost twelve years ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2014/08/26/about-america-chapter-11/) as such you have all these economic professors who ‘object’ to that setting whilst the setting of the last year are showing me to be the correct party, even though I have no economic degree, I do know data., I have been dabbling in data for decades. As such the game came to my mind and as such the avoidance of the ridiculous war setting was invading my mind for weeks, because at present ‘Trump lashes out at “fools” who oppose Iran deal amid bipartisan criticism’ (source: CBS News) and ‘Senate Republicans raise alarm over Trump’s deal with Iran’ (source: the Hill) as I see it, soon there is no place for the media but to go and delve into the insolvency of the United States, perhaps this president could use the Epstein files to divert the eyes of the media? (evil grin forming on my face), not to mention the musical acting of ‘Republicans slam Trump for caving to Iran in ‘disaster’ of a deal’ (source: Rolling Stone Magazine) an if you consider that the bulk of the media never really liked President Trump, consider what they will publish now. And this is all before Iran sees its way to cry to the courts of international law in The Hague, so there is that still coming and all this could have been foreseen if someone served the power players coffee in the Pentagon, I think it is spelled ‘Covfefe’ (source: President Trump, first presidency) a setting that was clear from the beginning of March, but now that setting will hit the Republicans squarely in the face, as such it might become the most humorous midterms in November 2026 and I reckon that there aren’t too many Republican fans at present. So whilst those up for midterm elections are bound for the unemployment lines, we will see an abundance of mis-categorisations and as such this might be the turning point where the west is seeking a new player that could align with the Commonwealth and the EU and I personally am putting my money on a larger cooperative with Commonwealth, EU and the Arab states, the other option is that the Commonwealth and the EU will align with China. I think the second one is not readily accepted in the EU and parts of the Commonwealth. Still, the cooperative with the Commonwealth, EU and the Arab states could bring prosperity and optional good times for China and whilst the EU is pulling back from Microsoft and the United States hosting of over 4000 data centers. So when do you think well over 10% will be pushed into bad mortgage setting and written off to a rather large degree. All settings that will end an abundance of revenue and set the larger data settings off limits. I have no data to support this, but the crumbles of data are all over the place, the question becomes how connected are these slithers of data? I will let you decide, I have to put some effort in creating a new game, which is much more enjoyable than any political setting. 

So you all have a great day and someone keep an eye on Iran and their connections to Hezbollah and Hamas and when they will ‘miscommunicate’ their intent and it all starts all over again.

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.

Right out of the left field

I had a mind blast a few hours ago and I don’t know what got me to this. Well I kinda do, but I was not giving it much thought. So as I was enjoying a few moments (a moment is an hour) on YouTube, I saw a video about the Epic Universe, which until President Trump decided to go the way of the Dodo, it was my ultimate intent to spend a vacation in Epic Universe, but as things are, there is no way I am going there in the next decade (optionally the rest of my life). Now my mind is set to the theme park world of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. So as I saw the YouTube video I suddenly had an idea. This is not something I can do, but after all the idiocy settings of HR people relying on AI settings. It struck to me that these people could use a ‘simulator’ several settings from stores to amusement parks. 

So consider that HR is set to a skill level as it tends to be, but how do you hire? What triggers are you considering? That is the stage of the simulator. You are given a pool of people and the DML/LLM of that system creates the letters, the person goes through them and selects their top 5 or top 10. Then the interview and from there you get 2-3 that go through the final round. Just like your average job setting. So, as you go through the settings of HR, the simulator gives you a rank, but more importantly it shows HR what staff needs additional training. So this would be an actual simulator to improve the HR setting of a company. 

And believe me, I have seen my shares of flaky scammers (so, not HR), HR that flatly deny you, and those who seem to believe that a new starter requires 5-10 years of expertise. There are all kinds of HR and as I see it, when the AI bubble bursts, whomever will be unable to hire the right people, will go under in that AI bubble and they will not be heard of again. The setting is that the truth of the matter is that any firm will need the right people. Who that is tends to be up to HR, but how to get them seems to be unclear. As such my mind came up with the simulator setting. Based on a pool of people with DML/LLM letters so to get a mingle of types as the simulator expands into construction, retail, consultancy we will see a while range of options and there is no immediate release. To add the styles and settings will take time, but consider that the United States has approximately 36.2 million businesses and the European Union has approximately 33.5 million active enterprises across its business economy. That is a pool of almost 70 million potential customers, the retail sector is still a lot less, but it is a start and when the simulator gets the power it needs to get, the simulator gets the finance and attention to grow into something serious. So, it was just an idea and if a dedicated IT HR programmer is out there, this idea is for you. I am not getting involved in a work I have seemingly no clue about.

Anyway, that was the idea I had today, I reckon that it could use the setting of localization down the road, especially with over a billion people in India, but as I see it, the USA and EU are a decent first bet. Have a great day.

That turning point

We see all kinds of turning points. We see the mess some leave others and when they get ‘hindered’ by their own ego, the damage can be massively debilitating. So as the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9pn541jjlo) gives us ‘Germany says US troop withdrawal ‘foreseeable’ as Nato seeks clarification’ with “Germany’s defence minister has said the US decision to withdraw 5,000 troops from his country was “foreseeable”, as the Nato military alliance says it is seeking clarification from Washington.” I see a turning point. A turning point that takes away whatever credit they still had in Europe. Let me explain, the 5,000 troops are not there for a gimmick. Russia could see a (delusional) massive opportunity to make Europe theirs, but that fictive setting is now an option for China to become the ‘salvation’ for the fictive danger Russia presents. There is no longer a United States, as such China could come in and offer help. There will be cautious settings by Germany, but as the danger from Russia is ‘presented’ as real, they will accept and that s the sign for Huawei to offer its infrastructure to Germany. Its data centers, its optional DeepSeek and whatever else China can offer and Germany gives China the opportunity too show its technological prowess to The Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium, Austria, Luxembourg and France. When Germany goes over, all other nations will see the direct benefit that Huawei and others bring and the United States lose these settings. It might ‘threaten’ with its tariff game, but they are soon to become a population of one. China will take this route for the tremendous benefits their industrials get and as they represent a population of 1.4 billion consumers, Europe will take the setting as the United States merely represents the options to be a consumer base of 25% of what China represents, there will be captains of industry who will chomp at the bit to get into that market. The allegedly viagra overdosing captains of industry in the United States will have to consider what to do next. I reckon that they will go after that President of the United States on a mere need for the loss of industry that this president is exposing the United States to, especially as they have a debt that surpasses their GDP now (source: Financial Times). And let me explain, the same person who stated in March 2026 that the U.S. had “decimated” the Iranian regime and achieved a “total and complete victory”, In early April 2026, this same president said the U.S. was “finishing the job” and that the military objectives would be completed in “maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer”, which was followed by the U.S. would leave Iran “very soon,” but only when it was certain the regime could not build a nuclear weapon and threatened that if Iran did not comply with demands, “lots of bombs start going off”. It is now may and he is pulling troops out of Germany after President Donald Trump criticised German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for saying the US had been “humiliated” by Iranian negotiators in the ongoing war. It was not humiliating. Humiliating is me stating that the Secretary of war Pete Hegseth could’t win a war against a self opening tin of baby carrots even if he was armed with a tin opener. The rest are simple statements of facts. Deal with it and now as he is pulling troops out of Germany, China gets the inside track on a new setting, a direct triangle with China, the Gulf States and Europe all connected to each other, optionally connected through Huawei centers, A Chinese opportunity. And that is before the 2027 setting of the Vatican where the Pope gets his new and lasting nickname “Leonardo da Vici” when he decimates the Republican Party even more. A final lasting tombstone and it will be written by Tatiana Schlossberg when she publishes her book “Before 300” a lasting story about the United States and how it went wrong with the final chapters speaking about the downfall of the United States due to the mindless settings of President Donald J. Trump, he was not the actual cause but he removed whatever escape points Wall Street gave them. Some say it is mere ‘Science Fiction’, but I advice you to preorder that first edition hardcover when it comes in 2031, those hardcovers will be worth a lot down the track.

We can debate all the settings we want, but the settings China is about to get because of the ego of some is beyond belief. So enjoy this Sunday, although Vancouver and Toronto are slow, it is still Saturday there. Enjoy this day and see the opportunities that come knocking all over Europe.

Whatever the BS indicates

So, I was looking at a few matters and some connect to yesterday’s setting. As such, this morning I was given by CBC (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-losing-losing-losing-carney-trade-9.7171738) ‘Poilievre says Carney has been ‘losing, losing, losing’ on U.S. trade war’ and I personally call out this incorrect setting (calling it a lie is so crass) as I see it, PM Mark Carney has done whatever he can to make Canada less reliable on the United States, giving the country options and not to be set to the whim of a their own version of King George III and lets face it the one in the United States, looks nowhere near as good as Nigel Hawthorne (supporting evidence below).

We are given the additional “Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre launched a pointed attack on the Liberal government’s handling of the Canada-U.S. file Tuesday, saying the results so far have fallen well short of the mark and the prime minister is “losing” the trade war. Speaking to reporters after Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his new trade advisory council to help with the U.S. dispute — a body that includes some big-name Conservatives — Poilievre lashed out, saying the Liberals ran on settling the issue at the last election but there has been no discernible progress to this point.” And in a stage where that less than appealing person in Washington, is calling Canada the 51st state, giving it tariffs that got well beyond what is acceptable (whilst giving Russia allegedly no tariffs) and whilst we see “Carney says there’s been a ‘rupture’ in Canada-U.S. relationship, while Poilievre wants to draw closer”, so does any real Canadian want to vote for Pierre Poilievre (also known as Peter Polivicious by some)?

So whilst we see this and whilst we were given yesterday ‘Trump says he does not want to extend ceasefire with Iran’ (source: Reuters), today we get ‘Trump says ceasefire extended as talks with Tehran in limbo’ (source: Al Jazeera) and this is a person Canada wants to get closer to? Then we get that a lot of Canadians are christians, so do you want to get close to a person who attacks the pope on humanitarian issues as well as “President Trump has been lobbing insults at Pope Leo XIV in response to his criticisms of the war in Iran and appeals for peace, marking an unusually pronounced rupture between the leaders of the world’s most powerful country and the world’s largest Christian denomination. But Leo criticized the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts both before and after he was elected leader of the Catholic Church. He told reporters in November that the treatment of immigrants is “extremely disrespectful,” echoing the views of his predecessor, Pope Francis.” So do we (Commonwealthians) ever want to get close to this (so called) king? Or are we ready to steer the Commonwealth to safer waters? In that case, why would anyone ever consider the conservative PP or any of his arguments valid? OK, I will admit that the rental issues he raised last year were valid, but as I see it, no force in the Commonwealth gives rise to closer working with President Trump. 

And this is merely my view (also shared with many in the Commonwealth) and I could be wrong, but I do not think so. As such It is time to reflect on a few things that PM Mark Carney achieved over the last year (as I am not Canadian, I reserve the right to miss a few items).

  • Economic & Environmental Policy: Removed the consumer carbon tax, and pushed for deregulation to support industry.
  • Trade & Infrastructure: Passed legislation to reduce interprovincial trade barriers.
  • Housing: Launched the Build Canada Homes agency to accelerate development.
  • International Relations: Formally recognized the State of Palestine, strengthened ties with India and China, and continued strong support for Ukraine.
  • Social Policy: Implemented tax cuts for the middle class.

And these items are merely of the last 15 months. Also he increased trade with China, revenue the country can really use and achieved a higher trade settings with the EU and NATO, optionally also increased trade with Australia and New Zealand. All options whatever the conservatives throw in to the mix would never achieve as they are most likely not equipped with the knowledge of Economy that the present Prime Minister has.

So feel free to agree or disagree, but whatever America throws at Canada (like: Meanwhile, the Americans are demanding Canada change dairy access rules and drop some protections for its cultural sector, among other demands) which is funny, because that is decided by Canada, not the United States. 

So you all have a great day and remember it is still yesterday in Vancouver.

Lying for revenue

That is the simplicity of this construct. It is not an error, it was not an oversight and it was not the non existing AI, there is the chance that someone fucked up on programming the ML that connects certain procedures, but the truth is that LinkedIn likely is lying to you.

To illustrate this I am giving you

Here we see 3 profiles looking at individual ‘xzddbv’ it doesn’t matter who this is, because it could be you. I know for a fact that there were at least 4 profiles, but that is outside of a few kinks that LinkedIn gave permission for. It comes with the territory I reckon, the elemental part is that the second sample gives us 

That person (the stated ‘xzddbv’) has zero profile views. Isn’t that odd? A system like LinkedIn that is now accepted as a near global setting for jobseekers, they have no money, they have no options because the job settings on a near global bases is based on lies. I showed in 2013 that some places were unreliable, giving us that there were 1600 open Unix positions in Sydney, whilst most of them were bogus. And it went downhill from there, it ended up being a breeding ground for spammers and scammers and whilst these ‘job sites’ made their money for ‘marketing’ purposes they never cared what happened to the people looking for a job. Wasn’t that the revelation of the century?

But now there is every chance that LinkedIn is becoming as unreliable as others and that is just not on. On the other hand I just learned that Microsoft owns LinkedIn, as such the surprise fades (rather fast). So to fire up their engines, can we see if there is a Chinese alternative we can live with? A version of for jobseekers that operates with critical views in the Commonwealth and/or Europe? 

There is only so much we can forgive, it is time for change. Have a great day.

Secondary reasoning

That was the first thing that hit me when I was introduced to the BBC article (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn08ep6d5ndo) named ‘US home buyers ‘frozen’ as sales slump over Iran war fears’ a few hours ago. You see, what it says here is not a lie, it is incomplete. We are given “The US housing market is struggling as the impact of higher mortgage rates, fuelled by the US-Israeli war in Iran, begins to bite. Figures from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) showed the number of homes sold in March hit their lowest level for nine months, falling by 3.6% from a month earlier.” You see, the population of the United States is starting to figure out that this president will throw them under any truck heading for them, hoping it will slow that truck down. So whilst we see “impact of higher mortgage rates”, which might be true, but there is a whole lot of other factors playing. We see labor statistics giving the media that 178,000 is good and much better then we thought. But in that meantime Oracle sacked 30,000 people and they are not the only one and whilst we partially accept that this is the fuel the AI pressures. Some will realise that AI doesn’t yet exist and that the fallout will be soon. And as Europe is abandoning Microsoft (for plenty of reasons) the setting of data centers when they are not getting filled with data is another setting in that cog. Then there is the Iranian clambake which is not about the clambake, it is about the price of oil, so whilst like the house as presented. Some will see that the heating bill will grow sand in the cogs and whilst the mortgage goes up by factions at a time, the heating bill will take gulps out of your budget and it will drive fuel prices up. So your house in a nice place, it is also miles form the place of work and that is the real driver. So whilst some are in the dark on how many people, drowned on the Titanic (1997, James Cameron) the world will agree that it was a boatload and the specifics are basically made redundant. 

So when we are given “following drops in January and February, rates have shot up since the US-Israeli war began. They are increasing on expectations the US central bank could continue to hold interest rates in order to keep inflation under control, dashing hopes of further cuts by the Federal Reserve.” There is no mention that President Trump bashed the hopes of home builders by pissing of Canadian lumber, driving those prices up even further, this gives additional money requirement to houses and which now requires a slightly steeper interest setting. So whilst you want to say that you are happy with the $200K home, the additional $780 on additional mortgage and the additional price of lumber (set to a rough $5125) is not in the budget and it drives the prices up. Now we get oil that was $69 per barrel in 2025, we now see that same barrel going for $98 dollar, almost 50% more expensive, so consider that some claim that by June that price is a plausible $150. So, who can afford to heat their houses at 50% higher energy bills, with the optional 50% raise in a few months. And it is all due to their kind and loving president (I believe his name is Donald Trump). 

So whilst the BBC article gives the people in the United States plenty to worry about, the US finance industry has a much tougher time ahead. Because at this rate close to (a speculated) 17% of the housing market will collapse and the people who are in dire need to get rid of their homes will not find any buyers. But I recon that the Finance industry will hold hands and become the new landlords to a massively tough market.

As such, houses are more expensive, fueling houses (electricity and heating) will make them unaffordable and the borrowing ability of the United States goes straight from ground level to basement level 5. So whilst we might give some validity to “Indicators point to “weakening housing demand following a recent jump in mortgage rates and a collapse in consumer confidence”, said Thomas Ryan, North America economist at Capital Economics. Both are “knock-on effects” of the Iran conflict, he added.” The words given doesn’t make Thomas Ryan clever, perhaps the fact that he is avoiding that all this was due to the American Administration is and the several factors that are ‘ignored’ have nothing to do with Iran, it has everything to do with some narcissistic individual that he was the next Jesus in a nasty line of nobodies. And make no mistake, when the other factors come to play, there is no avoiding the setting of the US administration, because when (not if) the European stability, which requires and absence of Microsoft come knocking. The data centers that have no input will be pushed in to a bad mortgage bank which will then be pushed into receivership. So my next question becomes: 

‘Who wants to own a data centre? They are going cheap.’

And I reckon that the silence that follows will be deafening. Only a fool takes on a war at two fronts (Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769-1821) and only the king of fools sets a tariff and bully demand on 15 fronts (Donald Trump, 1946 – who cares). It is a setting that will haunt the United States until at least 2076, but some say that the United States will not survive until then, giving the history of the United States with less then 300 years, a setting of greed and exploitation in plenty of books to reminiscence over.

But then, I could be wrong. Do you think I am wrong, or are the factors you see starting to make sense and when that happens where will you place the media in all this. A mere reporting entity or a bleeding effect of greed and digital dollars?

Have a great day.

Hidden in a dream

It happened again last night, I had a tech ology dream. Now the dream could be merely speculative, but the setting of technology and the stage I used to inhabit in photography makes it eerily a path towards presumption and as I have other things on my mind I leave it to whatever innovative mind is out there to make it a reality. The dream was me in some kind of group activity and  thought is twas about me plunging my rod into the pretty girl in there (I have no idea who she is), but after a few seconds I was ‘dissuade’ into standing in the group and taking picture of the group. It was a nice twilight moment, the sun was going down and the torches out there weren’t particularly good in illuminating the group, as such a flash was required and that was when things went pear shaped. I had never seen this flash before, it had an lcd screen with the image.

But there was more, there were tabs on the screen showing the impact of the flash, so a pre-flash and a flash image, then there was a screen with white balance numbers and some numbers on setting the white degree (like candle light) with a number representing Kelvins (white levels of the flash), it was rather innovative, but here is the kicker, this flash does not yet exist. As such my mind worked out a few settings right of the bat and gave them to me, now I am returning the favour and I leave it to whomever can work with this idea (a donation to poor me would be appreciated) so far wealth has never been further away from my pocket and I might be one of the few referring to church mice as decadent rich bitches, but that is purely on me.

It felt nice to dream of new innovations. I beat the hell out of the Iranian question, although creating these weapon systems for the UAE and Saudi Arabia is making me happy too. I did my part against the Iranian aggression and I didn’t have to start a war, that was done for me. So as we are now whilst 9 news gives us ‘Trump likes to threaten withdrawing the US from NATO. But can he really do it?’ I am of a different setting, the bully can push his way around, but when we all call it quits and he has to fend for himself, the people of the United States know exactly who to thank and whilst we deny them goods and services which will now merely please the Commonwealth, the United States has himself to thank for the mess that comes their way. In the meantime, I can innovate the hell out of everything and make the Commonwealth and the Middle East the recipient of these ideas. Optionally Japan too as they might have the strongest photography base. In all these matters we can go with ‘Not to be delivered to the USA’. And don’t think of that as some kind of personal punishment, as it stands Canada, the Eu and the rest of the Commonwealth are on that same page, and this represents over 3 billion people denying their gods and services to the United States and all that tourism is now finding new shores to spend their money to.

A setting the United States did to themselves, because as I see it, the majority elected that ‘whatever he considers himself’ in power and the ones who were part of this (like Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and Vice President Vance) can cry all they like and they might even dismiss my setting, but as I see it, there are more than 2.5 billion others who feel the same way I do. I am just one of the few saying otherwise out loud and I am more than someone who is shouting. I am handing IP to the other parties as well, that makes me a whole lot more than the average shouter and when these ideas come to fruition, the stage of lost revenue really starts adding up and as I see it, the more the Commonwealth has, the less there is for the United States and that will also make a lot of Europeans happy. 

So whatever was hidden in a dream, I am happy to convey to you the reader and I will make sure that it is either freeware or it becomes non-America IP.

Have a great day today.
