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:

The Joint Forces Command of the Coalition: We Have Executed A Proportionate Military Response Against Legitimate Military Targets of the Terrorist Houthi Militia in (Hodeida) Governorate

Statement by the Official Spokesperson of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Major General Turki Al-Malki: “The Terrorist Houthi militia has undertaken a reckless, cowardly act by targeting commercial vessels in the Red Sea. Adding this terrorist act to a long list of marine crimes and terror acts in one of the most important International Sea Lines of Communication. The Kingdom has and will always stand alongside the brotherly people of Yemen and their Government, and in these dire and difficult times, we renew our commitment to stand alongside them in the face of the terrorist Houthi militia. (Hodeida) Port was not targeted, and all Yemeni ports, including (Hodeida, Ras Isa and Salif) are open to maritime navigation, and are operational in receiving commercial vessels that carry all sorts of foodstuffs, commodities, oil and construction materials, in addition to all air traffic to and from Yemeni airports. The Houthi militia is still refusing flight operations to Sana’a International Airport, enforcing a siege against the Yemeni people, for the purpose of exacerbation of the suffering it has caused, compounding the agony imposed by the militia against our brotherly Yemeni people in areas it controls. The Coalition has executed a firm, resolute and proportionate military response, while preserving the capabilities of the brotherly people of Yemen. The targets focused solely on legitimate military targets that the terrorist Houthi militia use to threaten commercial vessels in the Red Sea. This proportionate military response was concluded by achieving the planned operational objectives. and was carried out in accordance with the Customary International Humanitarian Law. The Joint Forces Command of the Coalition will continue to undertake all necessary operational procedures and measures to protect the interests of the Kingdom and its National Assets in addition to protecting our vessels. Should the terrorist Houthi militia continue in this course of hostilities, an unrelenting, resolute response will be mounted accordingly.”

25 July 2026

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.

What would you do?

We get that is the ‘dangerous’ question, but consider your situation when you are a mere step from becoming broke (or whatever a nation calls itself) you have no credit left, no goodwill left and you need to get your defence settings up (in a major way) as such the United States is set into a almost unbearable situation where (according to several newspapers)  they are requesting ‘Iran war has cost US $37.5bn so far, Hegseth says, as Pentagon seeks billions more’ (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70gek2kqyno) beside the setting that as I see it, that almost 38 billion amount seems to have been stretched, the request of “Hegseth told the Senate Appropriations Committee it was urgent that lawmakers approve another $87bn in congressional funding for the Pentagon, with $67bn of that destined for operations in the Middle East.” I am not debating the amount, although seems to be a little far fetched, especially as in 2025 the num bars given were “The U.S. national defense spending for fiscal year 2025 totaled approximately $919 billion to $954 billion in total outlays (with the initial Department of Defense request starting around $849.8 billion)” setting the need for Iranian oil well beyond 10% of the total and “The White House asked Congress in April for $1.5tn for the Pentagon over the next fiscal year, which would raise American military spending to an all-time high in the modern era”, where we consider that the US defense forces are at that stage loaded for bear (as expressions go). And compared to 2025 it exceeds 100% of the previous year, as such I am facing questions. It makes sense in my consideration that the United States is about to buckle and they want their defenses to be up when it does. So whilst we are given “Hegseth said current and future training for military members would need to be cut without the funds, as he repeatedly blamed former President Joe Biden’s administration for what he said was an underfunded military. The most senior Democrat on the committee, Patty Murray, pushed back on the funding request, saying it “does not make a lot of sense”. Asked by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin if he had an estimate for how much the war in Iran has cost so far, Hegseth gave the $37.5bn figure.” I can see both sides off the argument, especially if the United States would be forced to forfeit on their loans and when the US Treasury bonds are dumped by others (which is at present set to almost $9.37 trillion) the setting that this could be dumped on the markets whilst also seeing over a trillion dollars in interest bills. I reckon that 2027-2028 will become a messy United States to be sure. As most of these settings collapse, a strong defense is pretty much all that stands between the United States and circling vultures. 

As such I see the requests of Pete Hegseth, whilst not debunking Patty Murray on any of this, and in all this the blaming on all this on former President Biden is becoming stale to say the least, especially when too many truths are getting twisted in all this. As such a headline given 11 hours ago where we see ‘The USA has collected 13 billion dollars from Venezuela’s oil sales, but has not provided details about the destination of these funds.’ As such there is a concern that these finds are handed to the US defense coffers, as such the 37.3 billion might have to be lessened by $13 billion, or did you forget about the Venezuelan clambake? And in all this, what are the total numbers of expenditure in troops, material and ammunition in all of this? Why wasn’t this raised on numerous occasions? Or is whatever went under the bridge no longer an interest to the media? All these questions and there is a consideration that the $13,000,000,000 was used to keep the United States afloat. It might be merely my view, but I am unwilling to consider that none of the media has considered that, or are they driven by Epstein files and digital dollars to make their revenue?

So, You see, the questions are piling up and the setting of a ‘State of the Union’ because as I see it, these parkers were up for some time and the ink from the date of February 24th 2026 is barely dry. As such the setting of the speech, which is supposedly giving the nation “Outlines the condition of the nation, reviews the administration’s achievements, and proposes upcoming legislative priorities” might have missed the marker by at least a mile and when you consider that the “The current “golden age of AI” is an era of rapid technological acceleration driven by generative models, deep learning, and massive infrastructure investments. This period has radically lowered the barriers to software creation, automated complex workflows, and sparked national science initiatives like the White House report on” would be missing the mark by at least two decades and that is the short and sour of that equation, as such there is no golden age, because (as I see it) that revenue is being pushed back and forth by 3-4 corporation with Nvidia being the largest winner. So there is a larger default and in that age Pete Hegseth is requesting an amount going towards $1,500,000,000,000 and that is bedsides the Stargate funds, which is targeting up to US$500 billion in total funding by 2029. It was officially announced by OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and Abu Dhabi-based investment firm MGX. And when this is set in the scales with a estimated debt of $39,588,242,618,845 the numbers are not adding up. It is almost like these debts are ‘compartmentalized’ though people that seemingly don’t talk to each other and they are taking turns talking to the United States Department of the Treasury. I wonder how Scott Bessent is keeping all that separated and apart for a speculative reporting. Did you not wonder that? 

In all this I wonder how some parties are avoiding the limelight in all this and the requests by Pete Hegseth brings it all to the surface, because a journalist should have had his quills up (those without a text editor) and that is seemingly not happening, because we would have read this and whilst one source gave us: ‘The US printed more than 3.3 trillion dollars in 2020 alone and it matters today’ whilst I cannot deny this might have happened, there is no valid source or a newspaper who is supporting that part and if that would be true, the dollar is due for a decent downside, because that would be added to the $39 Trillion debt and I raised this in ‘Is it that simple?’ With an exaggerated Weimar example (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/07/19/is-it-that-simple/) I remember that, because I had a DM100,000,000 note, which I hope would be enough to persuade some gorgeous lady to have sexual intercourse with my 16 year old body (we are delusional in what we can) and not weirdly, no one was taking that bait. But that is for another day. Still that setting is out there and all the facts are not events that took place in the last few weeks, as such the State of the Union might have been a hollow ship and when we consider rallying that my setting for a imploding United States might be on track to be 11-23 months from now. And as I see it, the Pete Hegseth request as well as the clambakes towards Canada (51st state), Greenland, Venezuela and Iran snow bringing too much to the surface and that is not a good thing. Because the United States needs friends, it desperately needs them and as I see it, they alienated allies they had, busted up economic options and as I see it, what was intended for the coffers of the United States, is now headed towards Canada (making me happy to a larger degree). And as China is now infringing on options that had put the United States in the first Column, China is now moving into and leaving the United States in the third column (a sales term). As I see it, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UAE is putting their options towards tourism draining the United States even more and all this is adding up, whilst some costs and expenditures are not voiced correctly (as I personally see it), as such the United States is in a bad place and I ask you: ‘What would you do?’ Because the simple truth is that the one priority of the United States is the United States, that much anyone should accept. But how will they get there? So whilst one source (PBS) is giving us “President Donald Trump’s financial disclosures revealed that his business ventures generated over $2 billion in 2025 during his first year back in office—more than triple his prior income. These unprecedented financial gains, heavily driven by cryptocurrency projects and branded merchandise, have intensified public debate and ethics scrutiny regarding potential conflicts of interest” we are facing two settings. Did he break any laws (I don’t care) and the second setting is “Are the United States is much deeper waters pertaining to the debt levels than anyone is considering?” Because that part matters, it matters for the Commonwealth and it matters to the EU and they need to either get stronger together, or seek some kind of an alliance with a place like China. And I think that this might be the case as the China bashing through places like LinkedIn is getting stronger and as LinkedIn is Microsoft, it brings the seating that this might be the reality we have to face. 

Feel free to deny or debunk my views, but there is too much out there and I am merely keeping a tally of what is being missed by the media at large. 

Have a great day today.

Is it that simple?

There is a stage when the village idiots shout things that kinda offends us, but we whisk it away. Then we reconsider their shouts and think ‘Has it come to this?’ And we consider what we know. So as we are given (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyq93j34lgo) by the BBC that ‘Trump threatens new Canada tariffs over fires sending ‘filthy’ air into US cities’ the first think I want to say is that Canada had no protests coming to the aid of California whilst it was burning down (and Doug Ford, a man from Etobicoke said so), and as we see that the United States puts over 1000% (compared to Canada) pollution in the air, we might think a few things of these village idiots. But then we consider does it help to counter these people? So I went to think in another direction. ‘Has the United States become this broke?’ Because there is reason for this thought even though we hear people say that a country cannot go broke, they can print money. Some (the really old people) might remember the hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic between 1914 and 1923. 

We get into the setting that people pay DM150,000 for a bag of potatoes (not to mention the price of beef and butter) so this is not a solution and at that point all saving are almost immediately reduced to zero. Beside that the White House requested a record-breaking $1.5 trillion for the defense budget for Fiscal Year 2027, alongside a separate $87.6 billion supplemental request driven heavily by military campaign costs related to Iran. And that is where things get really (really) dicey. You see, the total U.S. national gross debt stands at approximately $39.4 trillion, which implies that the United States now has an annual interest bill of over a trillion dollars. As the IRS (the American donation system) gets about the Internal Revenue Service collected $5.3 trillion in gross taxes, processed 271.4 million returns and forms, and issued $638.8 billion in refunds, this now implies that the United States will have to do with at least 18% less money and that is happening in less then 12 months. How do you think the United States can pay for infrastructure and other services? I saw this coming a few years ago and I tried to warn you all about it, but people like to listen to those countering that and claiming that there are solutions. The United States is too big to go broke. As I see it, the invoices need to be paid and the United States will have nothing left to pay in 12-24 months. At present we will see that certain things will be pushed forward and others are set in the backpay setting, but it is now running out, as such the United States are now claiming all these tariffs and other money making settings, but as I see it, the party is now as I would personally see it, officially over. And as the United States gets less and less revenue as they pissed of pretty much any ally they have, the new setting is that they need to get whatever they can. I saw the 51st state (Canada), Greenland, Venezuela and Iran as the precursors towards a nation too deep in debt. And there were others who saw it as well. As I reported in March in my article ‘Where is the trust’ (on March 17th 2026, at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/17/where-is-the-trust/) where I wrote: “Because if I can figure this out in the last decade and now we get that Dave Kelly (JP Morgan, as per OCT2025) can figure this out, you should wonder why others couldn’t figure this out. I get that I am a no one is all this, but David Kelly is the Chief Global Strategist and Head of the Global Market Insights Strategy Team of JP Morgan and he is a voice to consider no matter how you slice it” as such my speculative setting is that the party is over and the chances that the economy of the United States will collapse in the next 12-24 months. And there is more bad news, those who held onto the treasury bonds might also dump those in the near future and there is no leeway for the United States, they pissed off too many people. So as I see it, they all made their beds in that election on November 5th, 2024. Which was the last nail the United States had left. This setting did not come overnight, this setting was pretty clear around ‘The deal compared to morality’ which I wrote on January 29th 2021. So this stage has been evolving for a while and the political players went from hype to hype (the current one is the nonexistent hype of AI) and no one is asking the hard questions. But as I see it, the setting is most likely to be that the banks in the United States will likely go in some vulture setting, because at that point the carcass of what was the United States will be devoured. This setting was encouraged by the settings of Wall Street and others have faced it and now the United States will face that and a likely 330,000,000 massively angry people, but that is what they signed up for, they could have voted differently. 

So whilst everyone is looking for a way out, they will see that there are not that many options. The current administration burned those bridges down to a cinder. 

Have a great day and consider what is real and what is not. Perhaps I am all wrong (not certain I am), perhaps (massively unlikely) so is David Kelly of JP Morgan, but there is too much out there and someone will figure out what I did well before 2021. So have a great day and don’t forget that that in Germany 1923 the price of coffee became a famous historical example of runaway prices, famously rising from 5,000 marks to 7,000 or 8,000 marks in the time it took to drink it, so when did anyone in the United States make enough money to afford such a cup of coffee?

That what becomes tomorrow

We have these settings. They are what they are and as I have seen it the United States is in massive problems. They did this to themselves and whilst they are in denial, whilst they are (what I consider) cooking the books and whilst they are presenting pieces of pictures, we do know that what we see is not really what is in play. You merely have to lookup the Florida economy and the California economy to see that there are serious issues in play. But I am not an United States citizen, so I basically do not care. I am a Commonwealthian, so I consider helping my Canadian brethren (sisters too). I also feel for the Emirates, as such I stand by them. How, you might ask? Well, I think things through and as such I have a few ideas how to aid Canadian and Emirati tourism. Because we can point at the issues, but that merely caresses our ego’s. What we can do is prepare for tomorrow, or in this case the summers of 2027 and 2028. You see, whatever the united States making claim of what is. Some people see what is going on and that is where I now am. As I see it, we can help to bolster tourism or we can ignore that this setting exists. I chose the first option. And in all this I am using my Dutch knowledge to aid this endeavor. 

So this is all for both nations, and using other knowledge to create new knowledge is the first step in becoming innovative. The Dutch have a place called Archeon. It is an open air museum, reconstructing various eras from Dutch history. The Bronze Age, the Romans and the Middle Ages. The idea was amazing and I loved seeing it. 

So in the new setting, it could hand Canadian a setting where people would see a fort (as authentic as first would be in the 1700s with an additional camp of the Huron (who also were in Ontario) people would see how life was in those days, How the Huron lived and we might also add an English camp, perhaps even a replica of Fort Anne. The people would see how these people lived, it would also give people a view of life of the Huron in those days. If it is don’t right, the First Nations could benefit from selling First Nation goods and optionally books and other things, which would bolster their economic footprint as well. The trade posts also have similar settings in all this, as does the fort. A view of what was and how Canada grew from this. 

In the case of the Emirati, the views of buildings on how they were in Rumailah, Al Thuqeibah and Muweilah would give a first look. Add to that the view of Beit al Shaar (houses of hair), constructed by Bedouin tribes using woven goat or camel wool and you get a nice view of life in the distant past. All these places would also sell food, how they basically were made (in modern out of sight kitchens) but I remember the food I had in the Roman camp (drinks too) the food was some sort of stew and tasted delicious. I very much loved the food in the abbey (middle ages) I still dream of the waffles with hot cherry sauce and whipped cream, even after 30 years. If that feeling can be transposed to the places in Canada and the UAE, they both have a winner. For the UAE I was thinking around the Emirates Park Zoo and Resort and Deerfields mall, there seems to be space in between that place and putting more places between Abu Dhabi and Dubai would create a larger dream of people, without the economic pressures of the land value. As for Canada, there is plenty of space around Toronto and this idea could go far (as I personally see it).

The second idea comes from the Dutch Madurodam. It is a a miniature park in the Hague and has been a tourist attraction. The entire park is set up in a 1:25 scale. It has all the historical and famous buildings, even a massive view on Amsterdam international airport. In the Netherlands it attracts 600K-700K visitors every year. It will take some time, but these are two ideas that spreads the interest in both Canada and the UAE and the UAE has plenty of places it could show off, consider the biggest ferris wheel in the world, now visible on a 1:25 scale. Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi have a serious amount of buildings it could show off. and the Ferris wheel is merely a first. You see, you can hope that all what there is will satisfy the need of the tourist, or you can venture to more and in ways that is not dependent on the greed of the United States. Making this setting malleable give both nations more options (without spending the bank on that chance) and even if not everything is done in a quarter, this summer will show the world more clearly how deep the abyss is that the United States has placed itself in. I for one prefer to focus on what helps Canada (the UAE too) and these are merely two idea that could help either country. There is a third one, but that that is for later and more applicable to Canada than it is to the UAE. 

So, as I see it, opportunity is where you find it and there is enough materials on both the Archeon and Madurodam to give these two nations where they could take this setting to.

So, you all have a great day and consider contemplating whether you want to keep staring at the mistakes of others or do you want to find an upside for you in that stage?

Lectionem disponens

Yes, that was the setting I gave you yesterday and in good standing I used the absolute worst application of latin you see here. (Planking the read), which roughly (really roughly) translate to a ‘reading plank’. I know I have a seriously warped sense of humor. You see it was important to do this in latin, because other languages have 10 of thousands of words. In Latin the idea is a little far fetched, but still applicable. 

So as such I got these 20 words to start of with:

Aqua (water) Asini (donkey) Aquilla (eagle) Pratus (meadow)
Triticum (wheat) Equos (horse) Columba (pigeon) Virgo (maiden)
Solum (soil) Currus (chariot) Cervus (stag) Sarcedos (priest)
Germana (sister) Via (road) Serpens (snake) Templum (temple)
Germanus (brother) Fluvius (river) Aper (boar) Vinum (wine)

So from there I started to think, these reading planks are static, the internet is not, so the idea came to me to upgrade the plank to the next level. When you get 100% on these words the plank will ‘upgrade’ to the next level, but it will not happen too soon. You see, the plank is also a gateway to lessons. A lesson on family (brother/sister) a lesson on animals (donkey/horse) a lesson on priest and temples and so on, only when you passed them all you get the next level of a reading plank. There will be a lesson on the hunt (boar/stag), lessons on transportation (horses/chariots) and this is another way to learn language, but as I see it, the approach will translate to Italian, Spanish, French and German in almost the same way, as I see it, the setting is almost transferable, not completely though, because the scenery will be different and the changes will be seen almost all over. The idea to have the plank and stick the work (which are on parchment) on this. As I see it, there are two ways to get into the Latin game and both are open. The first is a ‘poor’ serf who becomes a serf serving a priest in Rome (AC Brotherhood) 

As you see, it is only part of the map, it includes the Vatican and part of Rome. As a Papal guard you can enter the Vatican and you get a dwelling on Vatican island. As a serf you get a room in the church of the priest you serve and over time you will be allowed and required to enter Vatican island. Both will introduce you to etiquette and interactions with people both are different in the interactions whilst the priests will interact with the guards, as a serf you can only do the bidding of the priest and the jobs given. You can still interact with the people in Rome. As I see it a rather large linguistic challenge awaits you and the setting is almost the same for Italian, although you are nearly always housed in Rome, but as you gain experience and become adequate in Italian, you could meet and interact with people on Vatican Island, but the priests and cardinals there will only address you in Latin (unless you are given a job to do something in the Vatican).You think this is shallow, but etiquette mattered in those days and don’t think you can throw your weight around. The papal guards are not the nicest people to be rude to and at that moment you get a time out from the game and you are given clear instructions (in your dwelling) and you get to practice there for about an hour to get you more proficient in Italian and manners. 

This is merely your the beginning of what comes the way of the linguistically student. You see, it is not enough to merely learn the language, you will be pushed to get a feel for the language, something you could never get being the Apfelkorn jerk in Cortina d’Ampezzo. But as I see it, this is the way that could also be used to teach English and that too has two versions (and you would get both versions) the ‘proper’ way from AC Syndicate giving you class lessons and well (Whitechapel, The Strand, The Thames, The City of London and Westminster) and you get to learn the language skills and the etiquette as was custom in Victorian England. Modern day England is in Watchdogs Legion around Big Ben. French is in Paris (AC Unity) and Arabic/Farsi is in AC Mirage and Japanese/Portuguese is in AC Shadows. The materials are largely done (by Ubisoft) they merely need to reset the maps to the language areas and add the vocal part, the games and the tutelage parts. As I said, Ubisoft starts with a 75% program, 

I wonder which languages AC Hexe adds to the equation, I think it was German. Whatever you might think is valid but I wonder if Ubisoft had any idea what more was possible on products they had already finished. And that is before you consider how engaging the language becomes when this is paired with a meta quest visor.

Have a great day

A yellow cap

That is the setting and whether you call it a yellow cap or a golden dome is up to you, but beware, a simple top of mind gives this a weird setting. CBC gives us (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/golden-dome-trump-cbo-cost-estimate-9.7196982) ‘Budget office estimates Trump’s proposed Golden Dome will have trillion-dollar price tag over 20-year period’ and I thought that this was another bleak idea (right along the Trump Gold Card, which apparently is a huge failure with one sell, which was allegedly given as a present) and that was it for me, but then the CBC gives me the one line that opens the debate. 

It was “Somewhat inspired by Israeli defences”, so you think that changing the name from Iron to Golden does the trick? Consider the implications. It works for Israel as it is roughly the size of New Jersey. Consider Texas, that state with Netflix issues (see yesterdays blog) is 10 times the size of New Jersey. It could be attacked from the south by Mexico border, the SouthEast amphibious/Cuba, West/North via Cruise missiles and then we get that Israel is mostly like minded, in the United States the threat of Asymmetric/Internal Threats is decently real. And this is merely one state. As I see it, Texas, Florida, California, Washington State, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia sets a new chapter all together. My (massively inaccurate) setting throws the amount between $3 trillion and $5 trillion and that is when the massive write offs happen, an economy that cannot afford anywhere near that amount. As such that $1 trillion over 20 years will need critical investigations. The setting is simple. Consider that the Israel can fit into the United States 465 times (approximately) and now consider that the Iron Dome is set to United States parameters and not made out of gold (pewter is more like it), that equation doesn’t even get close to do its work when we see the impact on what the Iron Dome would need to do in the United States. I think I am merciful when I think it s a mere 3-5 trillion that bill might be significantly larger. So when we see “The U.S. Golden Dome is envisioned to include ground and space-based capabilities able to detect, intercept and stop missiles at all major stages of a potential attack. Congress has already approved roughly $24 billion US for the missile defence initiative through Republicans’ massive tax and spending measure signed into law last summer.” As such the ability to detect might require an upgrade (an idea that the movie a house of dynamite (2025) gave me). And that is merely attacks from missiles. The setting that the United States faces through asymmetric sets these detection methods on lose wheels. That all requires manpower, construction and a few more kinks can show up. The cyber settings will become almost humongous and for the most they cannot predict what is next, some can’t see what is a threat now, but that is a different story. As I see it, Israel has had decades to create the iron dome settings and they did it will, but to apply this to a nation the size of the United States is rather ludicrous, on a side note, Canada would equally be unable to deploy a system like that, the cost alone would cripple the Canadian economy, only so that “The Boss” can sleep safely at night? Good luck with that idea. 

As such I have no idea what gave the Pentagon (or related people) the idea that this is a workable idea? I get that the united States might want to upgrade its defenses, but to throw it at a gimmick that has no foundation on reality is as I personally see it beyond silly. 

So whilst the article ends with “Sen. Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon, who requested the estimate from the CBO, said in response to the report that the missile defence project is “nothing more than a massive giveaway to defence contractors paid for entirely by working Americans.” Last May, the president said the Golden Dome would cost $175 billion US. The CBO last year estimated that just the space-based components of the Golden Dome could cost as much as $542 billion US over the next 20 years.” I seem to be on the side of Senator Jeff Merkley because it is as I see it more than a massive giveaway to defence contractors. It requires a lot more and it would requires military technicians and a massive monitoring issue on all these missiles and observation posts, Then you get exclude zones for these places and even as some will be the same, it might require a lot more and that is where the shoes become too uncomfortable to wear. As I see it, it requires a total overhaul of a system that was decent to begin with, which will make it prone to overhaul issues and the cyber nightmare that follows to overhaul it all is merely the beginning. There are a few more issues where I have no knowledge, as such I will not know all the issues but when I look at this from the ground at a distance, there is no way that $1 trillion will cover that and as such someone needs to take a critical look at this and I wonder what pentagon involvement was handed to the CBO in this. Just a thought to entertain. Well that is that from me, I will continue tonight on a better fairy tale, one that will grant Abu Dhabi TV the option to give muslim channels a desire to connect to Abu Dhabi TV channels. I can make fairy tales too, I merely hand them to the audiences to gasp at, no fear needed. Merely good feelings. 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.

The tourist enticer

That is what I saw yesterday (among other ideas). Although this morning I hoped to run into Mal Lanyon APM (police commissioner Sydney), he got into this job today, making my giggle moment even better. You see, I was going to walk up to him and inform him that I increased in rank today as the new Commodore (I turned 64 today) and see how that goes over. I am not anything but a dedicated glutton for chaos when the setting gives me the opportunity. 

But that is neither here nor there.

The setting is tourism in the Middle East and as I have given a few ideas to the UAE, it only stands to right I do something similar for Saudi Arabia. The first thing that came to mind was what was there’ and we can see that Hollywood Boulevard is there, but as I see it nearly 249 million Europeans (aged 15+) made at least one personal tourism trip in 2024, as well tens of millions of Canadians make travel their touristic setting and I am happy to see more than 90% that will no longer make the United States that destination. A lot will seek out Europe and Asia their destination, yet it would be nice to see a lot more going to the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and the UAE) as such I thought of reasons for them to seek the locations out. The UAE has its pigeons in a row and I added an idea or two there, but now it is time for Saudi Arabia to get a few ideas. They have several options, but I reckon not enough. You need to ‘entertain’ these flocks for over a week and here I see options. One of them is that the Netherlands has the holy land foundation, the idea is nice, but what if this village is more representing an educational view of Saudi Arabia from before it was founded? A place representing the looks of an Arabian village (circa 1700-1900) complete with the guides and ‘local’ population to give it form? It could serve as an educational setting for the local population as well. Combine this with a few of the 1001 tales, not the politically correct ‘adjusted’ version of Ali Baba and the 40 fighters for the Palestinian cause. So consider that the 1001 tales includes numerous stories depict jinn, ghouls, ape people, sorcerers, magicians, and legendary places, which are often intermingled with real people and geography, I reckon that you could have at least a dozen stories all over the place and there are more to include or even replace the ones that have been there for a few seasons making the attraction a long term want to see idea. I reckon that it should be in Riyadh, but that would be up to the Saudi government to decide upon. In addition, the Dutch also have the Archeon, a place with historic settings of three villages, a bronze age dwelling, a Roman dwelling (complete with a fighting rink), a bathhouse and a few other settings and a middle age village (from around 1400), these places are built using the materials that were available in those days and they had their own cuisine. The roman lamb was magnificent and the Abbeys Waffles with hot cherry sauce and whipped cream has to be tried to be believed. There are merely two settings and there is a lot more. Stockholm has the Vasa museum, and it has power because of the only almost fully intact 17th-century ship that has ever been salvaged, the 64-gun warship Vasa that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628. The idea cannot be replicated, but France has the Puy du Fou in the Vendée region being the most prominent, offering an immersive walkthrough attraction titled Le Mystère de La Pérouse. That idea can be translated to a walk though on a replication of a VOC ship (I wrote about this earlier) and these settings are for the Saudi population just as entertaining as it is for tourists. Add to that a eating place (you cannot call that a restaurant) in the image of the galley of a Man of War which should hold enough place and it could evolve into a place with more than this, optionally a modern submarine (complete with periscope) would be the tourist setting that Saudi Arabia adds to this collection. It was my thought to stay away from the ‘American’ entertaining ideas. Abu Dhabi already has these settings in place and they did this rather well. As such the idea is to create things that are NOT there. And these are the three ideas I see. So whilst we are now given ‘Most Americans Now Say U.S. Foreign Policy Ignores the Interests of Other Countries’ it is now the goal to isolate ‘that’ United States from the rest of the world and fortunately Europe and Asia have plenty of ideas to fuel the beacons of Saudi Arabia and its tourism attractions. It might be shallow but I came up with these settings in merely a few days and these setting s could be transferred to other places. It might not all be placed in Riyadh, for example the Puy du Fou could be added to the Sindalah resort, right next to its Marina. And other places could be considered as well as Saudi Arabia seeks to franchise a new setting that is created with branding and visibility, so that tourists and Saudi’s see the places they recognise from other places and they need not be identical. It was one of the attraction that gave places like Planet Hollywood its attraction on a global setting. 

So as I see it, there is plenty to do and as Saudi Arabia gets a slice of these 249,000,000 tourists, the setting is to do this now, when the United States is creating global disgust. A good place to start I say. 

Have a great day, Vancouver joins us to today in 15 minutes.
