Deescalating ties for USA

That is what is seemingly happening and I saw the news 9 hours ago. So even if I wrote the previous blog 13 hours ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/10/13/is-business-booming/) with ‘Is business booming?’ Where the stage was offered among others to Jingan Technology. I was unaware of ‘Chinese top diplomat meets UAE president’s special envoy Khaldoon’ (at https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202610/1372209.shtml) and yes they are not the same, not even the same countries, but the setting are clear for China and their corporations. A setting is opening to push the United States out of an area that they held as their ‘A’ position for decades and they are hungry to prove their worth and value is almost everything to the gulf states (proven disloyalty aa lot less so) as such the article gives us “Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, said China and the UAE enjoy strong political mutual trust and have achieved substantive results in cooperation. Their relationship has gone beyond the bilateral scope and become a model of cooperation among Global South countries in pursuing development and revitalization, Wang said. Regardless of changes in the international and regional situation, China is ready to work with the UAE under the guidance of the two countries’ heads of state to take bilateral relations to new heights, Wang said.” And if you think that this is all to some communist party reference, it is not. China is almost entirely communist, but for the rest of the world to accept that political side takes a massive distrust of the United States and whilst they are all about “How great they and their president Tump are” the rest of the world doesn’t see it that was and by the numbers the united States is outmatched through 750,000,000 against 7,500,000,000 that is one hell of a difference and whilst some will claim “You shouldn’t see it that simple” that simpleton used numbers against all others that was until Donald the joker Trump became president and through tariffs, the 51st state, Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran and through that Canada, the gulf States, the EU and parts of Asia, it lost the match which should have never been a match and should have never started. I still believe that it was the desperate act of a nation that had run out of money and whilst they still have ‘plenty’ of bonds, the payment of a fixed coupon rate every six months until maturity is going to weigh the United States down on their 20 and 30 years bonds, the setting will get massively hindered by their $40,390,000,000,000 with over 1 trillion interest annually. So whilst the 20 and 30 years bonds are trying to shed anything they can to survive it all, the metrics (even the top-line metrics) do not hold a beneficial setting. In that stage the gulf states who have investments in the USA are waiting for them to be toppled and as such they can buy that nation per square mile on pennies on the dollar. A setting that was slowly coming to maturity. And for those thinking that this will never happen, consider who is sitting in the White House and whilst he could never live with having to make the statement “We are out of cash” and it was going this way since before he came with the bully statement that Canada was its 51st state. I was clued in long before that. Still there is a lot to be unclear about, but as I see it, it will become a shouting (optically slapping) match between the 989 billionaires in the USA and the Communist Party of China (CPC) with its 101,290,000 members and when the United States sees that these 100 million plus members are receiving an ovation from the EU and the gulf stats, their morality sinks to the lowest basement it has (minus 3 as far as I know). This is not a setting I applaud, but the UAE and Saudi Arabia must do what is best for their country, it is what we expect from our governments and why shouldn’t they want the same? 

As such China is about to enter a golden age of commerce (as President Trump stated this several times) and as commerce is real and as all AI (or SI) is fake I would assume that several corners of this world will go to China. And as more and more people are waking up from the fake statements the United States gave us. And whilst some think that others were supposed to take steps, the people are woken up by news like ‘Donald Trump sparks Republican backlash after declaring Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire’ with “Donald Trump declared a ceasefire that neither Russia nor Ukraine agreed to. His own party is now leading the charge against him.” And as the hostilities evolve though the hostile actions of an invading Russia, the US administration might now be the weakest player around (and it is seemingly massively out of missiles too) A setting that invigorates China and opens up the Gulf states for negotiations, because as I personally see it the United States bluffed and outsold itself one continent too far. 

But in all this, it might be a simple delusional me writing. Have a great day all.

Myopia ahead

We all have that, put a decent heterosexual guy in front of a topless Alexandra Daddario or even the average nicely build woman and he gets a sincere case of shortsightedness, that includes most of the politicians. Although they see the price of wealth and power in a little higher esteem. Marketing builds on this case of Myopia bin all kind of ways. But what if that shortsightedness is delusional?

So in comes the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ck87zg8jnwngo) where we see ‘G7 to release millions of barrels of oil and diesel after Trump threat’ but is that the end of it? No, not by a long shot. Sure, it might seem that way, but the EU is now building new avenues and Canada is one of them, as such there is a short term relief for Americans, but the turn side is also blooming. The EU is ending whatever plans they had with the United States and I reckon that China is waiting in the isle ready to offer a less radical setting, because their goal is ending the supremacy of the United States. And as some say ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend’ a setting President Trump should have seen a mile away. He is the the big beautiful solution to all matters. Basically if any solution has the name ‘Beautiful’ than you better believe that it will be absent of the name Trump. And as countries all over the world are going over any Trump building with fine toothbrush to see if they can find any irregularities, that building will most likely be scrapped. And as the United States ended its status as ally with the Gulf States, they have only two venues going for it. The first one is Iran (under condition that president Trump is put to death) and the second one is Russia. And a remote option is North Korea. Yes, that is a group that American citizens want to be a part of. So whilst we get “Donald Trump had warned he would ban diesel exports from the US if European countries did not agree to put more of their own stocks onto the market. That would have eased pressure on prices for US consumers ahead of November’s midterm elections, but pushed up prices elsewhere.” And that is where the Myopia really bites. The Trump administration cannot see beyond the midterms, even promising $5000 to every American who gets him reelected. But that is also the end of the game. You see the United States doesn’t have that much money left and the Diesel setting merely brings it to the top. And the people (those with half a brain) are putting things together. You see, what happens when the next threat comes calling? Because that is out there and there is a new threat coming his way. His secretary of War (who hasn’t won one yet and there is every indication that he will lose the one in Iran) is doing away with 20% of generals and these people have insight in politics, understand real negotiating and they will not turn Democrat (at least I do not think so) but the independent group in politics gets a massive infuse of non-Republicans and that ends the republican party right quick. I reckon that Bernie Sanders (Vermont) will get a likely massive back party, all with massive service on the US Armed forces. That is the setting of Myopia, shortsightedness and out of focus with the reality of things. 

And these generals will have a massive backlog of people that revere them. There will be no question on that. There might be a few that never played ball, but 20% is a massive entity and they bring hundred of thousand of votes, optionally millions and that suits Bernie Sanders just fine.

And this is merely the beginning, the road to recovery will take decades. Decades without the Five Eyes, the CIA will gobble up what it can, but they are out of the game. If only they had stopped President Trump before he got elected and the words ‘I just grab them by the pussy’ before his first election would have been that signal. 

Now the United States is heading for a disastrous setting and I reckon that PM Mette Frederiksen will be shouting hardest holding the EU flag, So when you consider that most of the US defense contracts will be shredded at a moment notice, all whilst the United States shouted that it sees NATO as a waste of space (well not exactly that), but we see that President Donald Trump and top administration officials have repeatedly characterized the alliance’s current framework as unbalanced and obsolete (source: Al Jazeera) and the United States is not very welcome in the Gulf States either. I reckon that the “China and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) have built a comprehensive, multi-layered strategic partnership that extends far beyond traditional energy trade” (source: The Middle East Council on Global Affairs (ME Council)) and I reckon that defence cooperation is only one step away and when that works the United States is out and now that China has the attention of the EU, the Commonwealth and the EU are a mere stepping stone. That is the effect of Myopia. It comes from a lack of focus and whilst President Trump is looking at the gold in the chandeliers, all whilst several injections have been placed and will most likely stop the President of making the White House the tackiest construction in the History of the United States we still see “The estimated cost of the development has scaled up from initial estimates to between $400 million and $600 million–$900 million depending on related grounds and interior updates, with the administration stating it is financed through private donations” So, who will visit that place? North Korea? Russia? Iran? I reckon the rest is washing their hair and polishing their crown jewels. 

This is the setting that was laughingly blown away (yesterday) when I stated ‘The end is nigh” which (as I was looking at Skyrim) was a decent intonation to make. 

The shortsightedness of this US administration is laughingly insane. And whilst the next administration spends its first three years cleaning up what the Republicans broke, the Republican Party will suffer defeat after defeat, when we get rather nasty settings like Jacob Anthony Chansley (born 1988), widely known as the “QAnon Shaman” who its now giving the world Chansley publicly turned against Trump, calling him a “fraud” and withdrawing his support due to dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling and release of information regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s client list (source: CNN) 

So when the image below is the most intelligent MAGA supporter, what becomes of the rest? 

Small questions and large impacts and the United States is looking towards massive repairs and most countries will not be answering their phones. I think the United States has a problem that will last long after 2030 and that is the setting for Huawei to kick in the doors, and more than likely in the age of data sovereignty the EU and the Commonwealth will open that door themselves as they are scared for what the fake AI tidings bring, because that is still developing and whist the AI vendors need to realise that their predictive analytics time comes to an end, the fallout we see is real and they just did away with tens of thousands of people, so how to fix that? 

So have a great day and watch the impact that will be seen in every corner or the world (a weir expression to use on a globe, but there you have it).

Continued Board Station

That is where I find myself. And after I saw the news on the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c63d7lexyym1o) where we see ‘US and Denmark reach deal over Greenland after Trump annexation threats’ and a tough got to me, you see, in the 80s there was a setting we referred to as ‘carefully phrased denial’ and I got there from two ‘quotes’ the first one is “Trump said the agreement would grant the US “permanent control over security, and all other needs”” as well as “Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the deal comes with “no cost to the United States” and will grant the US the ability to “to do what is necessary” to “secure and defend the security of Greenland”” and several media outlets had EXACTLY the same phrases and I think that this is no coincidence. I think that there is media suffocation and the media giving the largest leeway in a not so flattering way. As I see it he is not lying, but the omission that it comes with a non disclosed rare earth mining deal in several ways is what keeps the United States afloat for the short term and in the long tern Greenland will be striped bare, but some people will be cautiously unaware of it all. 

So am I wrong?
That is a fair question and I might, but the elements were out there for the longest of time and it its merely my view on the matter. And whilst some hide behind ‘humor’ as seen below, I feel uncertain about certain matters.

The setting seems pretty clear. Washington is crying like a spoiled brat and making threats against Canada, the EU, all whilst the United States is desperate to prolong the bad setting it has until the elections, because at that point the republicans can blame the democrats for all the mess we see. And if the citizens of the United States are that stupid, they deserve whatever is coming for them. 

So when we get to “He said it includes a rule that no US adversary can maintain a military presence in Greenland or “make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval”” which translates to “If the United States cannot have the rare minerals, no one can have them” which beckons the question, how long until the United States have no options left? And all this is merely bringing the realisation that the Commonwealth and the EU is better off with a Chinese union, which is pretty likely to happen at present. The United States has become a clear and present danger towards democracy and as it is no longer regards as an ally, that setting is only getting stronger. Will it be wrong enough? I honestly cannot tell and it is dependent on my interpretation of events. If that interpretation is wrong, so is the likely outcome and I am not one of these “I heard from a reliable source under condition of anonymity” which is what the media often resorts to, all whilst there insights are no better then mine. I am giving you that this is my speculative view and whilst there is enough indications that I am correct, there is no real evidence and until evidence comes my way, it is mere speculation optionally going towards presumption. 

What is a non-debatable facts that the United States is giving us these facts and for the most I have not heard of seen anything from Denmark. The only thing I found was the Copenhagen Post (September 14th) giving us “Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of the Social Democrats said Monday that she is “quite optimistic” Denmark, Greenland and the USA can reach an agreement on security and defense in Greenland.” And nothing new on Saturday 19th, 11:06 (which is now in Sydney) isn’t the strange? I would think this was huge news in Denmark, as such I have doubts and I have worries. But that might merely be me. 

So you all have a great day and watch what the media is doing to you all and what dangers Canada and the western world is currently exposed to.

Days of our lives

Yes, that is the setting and it is like a drama, a soap and at times an inverted romcom where hate is the operative word. The Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/10/china-huawei-trial-us) gave us today ‘China’s Huawei branded a criminal enterprise as tech firm’s US trial opens’ as such we see the accusation “A US prosecutor described China’s Huawei as a criminal enterprise that stole from US companies to build its telecommunications empire, as the trial against the tech company kicked off in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday.” And as ‘the media’ labelled me as “pragmatic activist” (which made me feel like a million bucks) and this article let me be my activist self and I will throw some pragmatic sides to it.  

So when we are given ““Theft, lies, cover-up,” Taylor Stout, a trial attorney from the US Department of Justice, said in the government’s opening statement. “For 20 years, that’s how Huawei, a massive Chinese telecommunications company, victimized American companies and abused the American financial system, all in an effort to dominate the telecommunications industry around the world.”” I have had it with the United States. They lie, they cover up and as I see it, they steal. The lie? Well I can start with the 66 times that they defeated Iran, then there are the media analyses that frequently examine altered accounts of historical events, such as Trump’s top six falsehoods about 9/11 covering his whereabouts and observations and the list goes on. Then we come to the setting where we demand the evidence of wrongdoings by Huawei and we get a tirade of boasts and colorful language, but where is that list of a summary of wrongdoings? 

Then we get the cover ups. What was covered up? The cover up is as I saw it that the techno boys of the United States set on their bedsides allegedly overdosing on viagra and had their non-wives please them and they felt happy about it and that happened deep into the 2000’s in the meantime China ploughed along and created innovative technology, so innovative that a German intelligence officer told the Dutch Welle (I think) was the one that gave us “We do not understand that technology” it was that advanced and in 2020 Statista reported that countries who had Huawei showed us that they had download speeds of 377.2 Mbps whilst the US only had 52 Mbps. We can get all kind of reasoning, but the truth is that the United States is massively behind. (according to Statista) So then we get to the stealing part. So where are these 13 billions in Venezuelan oil revenue? So, recent reports and congressional investigations accuse President  Trump of taking or misusing money through classified document retention, cryptocurrency ventures, and blocked federal funds. And as such, we see Huawei getting accused of these acts? Whilst Huawei is showing the world the Matebook fold. 

It blows whatever Apple/Microsoft/Google has out of the water. That is not theft, they innovated over a year ago and they blew whatever the United States has out of the water, that is not theft that is innovation and (for the clarity of Taylor Stout) Innovation is “introducing a new idea, method, product, or way of doing things that creates fresh value” and it is something that Huawei has been doing for over a decade. And when we get the real list, a clear list of what was stolen from the United States business corporations, just pretend it is a Christmas list. 

So when we get to “Huawei conspired to steal trade secrets from five US companies, including operating system source code for internet routers from Cisco Systems and a robotic arm to test phones from T-Mobile, to gain an unfair competitive advantage and grow its business, the prosecutor told jurors.” I am not going into some ‘they would never do that’ part. Basically all corporations are alike and I reckon that Chinese firms are likely the same. But my resounding setting is that (at present) Huawei is the real innovator. Apple was innovative, Google likely is innovative at present and in my personally biased view Microsoft is basically a has been. Huawei has been pouncing the 4G and 5G settings and as I see it, those banning Huawei are likely shooting themselves in the foot. But I am not the real expert in these matters, but (as far as I can tell) the entire ‘anti-Huawei’ setting is brought on by the United States by there anti-Chinese sentiment. So as this trial is likely to represent an episode of Days of our lives, we need to see where this ends. Likely it will get really ugly as the United States is bleeding revenue all over the place and whilst we see “The U.S. federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2026 has reached approximately $1.8 trillion as of July, with total projections nearing $1.9 trillion to $2 trillion by the end of the fiscal year” and that is before ewe realise that their interest payment for over $1 trillion is likely due too. And in the setting we see that innovative Huawei is more than likely to take a chunk of market share from corporations in the USA. 

We can optionally debate if that is likely to happen, but the anti-USA sentiment is getting stronger in Europe, the Commonwealth and the Gulf States all whilst these places have a growing interest in Chinese deals. And as the article implies that we will get months and months of anti-China sentiments. All whilst the world has had it with the United States, as such these anti-China sentiments will not go far outside of the United States. And whilst we get the prosecution side of ‘legal grandstanding’ and there could be a pilot, a twist (I reckon that any drama setting running 62 seasons) will have a few plots, twists and cliffhangers. A setting we will see evolve over the next few weeks in the newspapers and these media romcoms called ‘News at 9’ (could be 7 or 8) I’ll end this story about Microsoft and their issue they had with Netscape in 1998, at what point did they label Microsoft as a criminal enterprise? Just asking.

Have a great day and enjoy the legal twists the news will be serving up in the next few weeks.

Never American

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

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

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

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

Just a coincidence

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

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

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

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

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.

Navy? What Navy?

I had given the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as the UAE weapon ‘designs’ to take care of railways, harbours and a few other places. My setting is that this lacks expensive ordinance and I prefer the enemy to waste whatever they have in making matters worse. So this morning (whilst enjoying chicken) I had another idea. You see, ships in the harbour are fine, but what happens when these ships are galloping about the sea of Dammam? Yes, I know that it is called the Persian Gulf (but there is no need to adhere to Iranian propaganda). As such my mind came up with an idea and it could be done using a remodeled Sub Sea Baby, which is a nice Ukrainian invention. So here I was thinking of a resin barnacle and each drone would carry 20-50 of them. So when a bankable is attached to a ship it goes to work, it has three phases. The first phase is to weaken the hull with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl / Muriatic Acid) a decent solution to take care of HSLA steel. In the second stage (as the steel is starting to dissolve) a Hornet valve is pushed through the steel and it sprays a gooey substance on the inner hull. It is basically the same acid, but the paste is laced with it and the gooey substance stops it from dissolving in water and keeps on attacking the inner hull. So one is not enough, I reckon that around 20 of them spread all over the boat will turn it into a rather nasty piece of work. As the numbers of buoyancy and water displacement changes, the steel vessel gets a lovely new view from the bottom of the sea. There is of course the chance that this will not sink, but it will need to hobble into port becoming rather useless for months and as they lose their vessels to repairs, there is nothing much they can do but to hope that they are next in the repair line. This gave me the setting that there was a second blessing to this idea. It could also work on submarines. I would recommend the same solution as the inner hull is primarily designed to resolve pressure, it would actually be easier to dissolve it and when the outer hull is broken through, the inner hull might not be an object of concern any longer. I reckon that some will make it to shallow waters, but it remains just as useless a weapon of obstruction in the Strait of Hormuz. 

So is these countries can resolve the barnacle issues (like the glue that stick it to the steel hulls) and in my mind I already resolved a few settings, but I am not putting them here as many Iranians  can read English too.  So as I see it, I never needed a billion dollars in missiles. A sub sea baby costs $245,000 (10 of those sets you back less then $3,000,000). Then the Acidic solution is about $80 per liter and the barnacle has of course some construction and testing fees, but against the $37.5 billion the US claimed to have made in cost, I reckon that my solution at optional less than $10,000,000 is a breeze to any accountant and I like to be a miser when destroying a fiend of choice. They cost me enough irritation, making it also hurt in my wallet is not a preferred choice.

So consider that 10 drones could take care of most of the Iranian navy, the idea that they will suddenly cry like little girls is not out of the realm of possibilities and yet another solution to make the Sea of Dammam safe is hereby handed to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. My work for today is done. I think I am going to celebrate with a cookie.

Have a great day.

That darn letter

That is the setting, especially for Saudi Arabia, it is the letter H as in Hamas, Hezbollah and in this case Houthi. We are given numerous updates. The BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj9d27v70j1o) give us ‘Iran-backed Houthis claim missile attack on Saudi Arabia’ which is as I see it a lie. It should have been ‘Houthi terrorists attack Saudi Arabia’ but that might be me. The BBC is so longing to soften whatever acts terrorist nations take in legitimate ruling nations. And this has been going on since 2015. At this point what we need to take notice of is “Growing concern over new threats to shipping in the Red Sea from Yemen’s Houthis helped push the price of crude oil back over $100 (£74.96) a barrel this week – the highest level since May.” Then we get (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-25/houthis-claim-missile-strike-on-saudi-arabia/106958410) ‘Houthis claim missile attacks on Saudi Arabia after announcing Red Sea blockade’ where we learn “Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for missile attacks on the Saudi Arabia cities of Jazan and Yanbu, marking a widening of conflict in the Middle East.

The Iran-backed group’s military spokesperson Yahya Sare said in a statement that the group carried out operations targeting Saudi Aramco facilities in Jazan and Yanbu. Greek security sources said that air defence systems in Saudi Arabia had intercepted two ballistic missiles from Yemen on Saturday, which were targeting oil refineries in Yanbu.” As such I see the need for Saudi Arabia to make Houthi presence extinct. It is not a good think to make such a claim, but these terrorists have been acting against Saudi Arabia for over 10 years, whilst the west has done nearly nothing to stop Iranian weapons deliveries and several other issues to foil whatever acts Houthi terrorists were able to complete. In all this Arab News had (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/2652234/amp) this to say ‘Saudi-led Coalition Forces in Yemen strike Houthi sites as conflict flares’ with the additional setting of “Saudi-led coalition forces in Yemen carried out airstrikes Friday against Houthi military sites in the western port city of Hodeidah, in response to attacks on Saudi-linked shipping in the Red Sea, the coalition said. “We carried out a proportionate military response operation against legitimate military targets belonging to the terrorist Houthi militia in Hodeidah governorate,” coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki said on X, adding that the operation had ended.” As well as a statement from the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition giving us:

In all this there is a worry that Saudi Arabia is facing up to three fronts with Iran screaming in the background. There is no news regarding Hamas and Hezbollah, but the word is out there, especially as the accords that the United States pushed for Saudi Arabia to accept the Abraham accords, all whilst last year Hezbollah tried to get Saudi Arabia to unite with Hezbollah against Israel. To the best of my knowledge this did not happen, but the nuclear accords will push Hezbollah to take drastic steps. I have no evidence of this, but in light of what Iran has done in the past, there is a decent chance that Iran will push against Saudi Arabia using Hezbollah. Think if it what you will, make of this what you will. But I reckon that with the western press largely ignoring what General Turki Al-Maliki has achieved against these Houthi terrorists for over three years. I reported on what he had achieved as early as August 28th 2019 when I wrote ‘Corrosion or corruption in media?’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2019/08/28/corrosion-or-corruption-in-media/), as such there is a larger setting in play. It seems to be the case that someone is shielding Houthi forces from getting ‘exposed’ I can’t prove this but this is going on since before August 2019. So, as we see these attacks taking place, is there a reason why Houthi forces aren’t given the label terrorist by the BBC (and others) especially as they have been attacking and bombing civilian targets for years now, even using child soldiers in their acts. It is weird to see this in western media. I do see that there is a danger to use that term too readily, but as I see it, Houthi terrorists have gone way too far and they are merely ‘aiding’ Iran in their need to become the bully of the Middle East. I might overstate the importance of Iran, but as I see it, without Iran there is every chance to make Saudi Arabia and the UAE the power players they are destined to become. And it is my view on this that some other players do not want this to happen, but that might merely be my limited view on the subject. 

So as you go through this Sunday (Vancouver will join us in 15 minutes) there is every chance that some will tire of Iran and his three terrorist groups and I hope that Saudi Arabia gets the assistance they should have gotten at least 7 years ago. But that is another worry for optionally tomorrow. I don’t think that Saudi Arabia needs the assistance, but if the message becomes “We stand with you” a lot could be gained in the smooth execution of diplomatic settings and whether we like it or not, The muslim world (Saudi Arabia and the UAE) are part of our heritage and our destiny. I reckon that this setting was destroyed when the Catholic world gave us the treaty of Clermont (1095) when Pope Urban II gave us all the holy war as Christian knights to wage a holy war to reclaim Jerusalem. Which beckons the thought, when was Jerusalem ever part of the Catholic setting? As I see it (or read it) as per 1000–586 BCE: King David established Jewish control, and the united monarchy and subsequent Kingdom of Judah ruled until the Babylonian conquest, he was a Yahwist, the ancient Israelite religion centered on the worship of Yahweh (the God of Israel), then Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks (586–168 BCE) were ‘rulers’ of that land. It was followed by Hasmoneans and Romans (140 BCE–330 CE), so in all that time there was no Christian setting, as such we get Byzantines (330–638 CE) and Early Islamic Caliphates (638–1099 CE). This is what history tells us, so where were the christians? And at the near end of that, we get  that in 1095, Pope Urban II called for a holy war to reclaim Jerusalem. Around 10,000 knights and 100,000 foot soldiers and pilgrims took up the cross, promised absolution for all their sins.

The First Crusade was the opening chapter of a movement that would span nearly 200 years — a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims fought over control of the Holy Land. It set the pattern for eight more major crusades to follow, reshaping relations between Europe and the Middle East for centuries. I think that some will need to reset their views and realise that the historic settings were influenced by a treaty in 1095 and it has brought war to the Middle East for almost 1000 years (minus 69 years) So when we consider that setting, we need to realise that destroying Houthi terrorists is in our best interest, because at some point they will refocus towards us and that will bring a few dark years to us all. It is the game that Iran has been working towards for a long time, but that is merely my view on the matter and after exterminating Israel that would be the next step ad it will hit us all.

Have a great day all.
