Contemplating extremity

That is the event I am seeing. Al Jazeera reported 8 hours ago ‘Saudi Arabia downs missiles fired at Riyadh after Houthi attack on pipeline’ we see here “Saudi forces intercept two missiles fired towards Riyadh, hours after reporting damage to key East-West pipeline.” As well as “Major-General Turki al-Maliki, a spokesperson for the coalition, blamed the Iran-backed Houthis for Tuesday’s attacks.” For the longest time in my life I have been a man of peace. This all might play into the hands of the United States and not anyone else. Perhaps it is time to reexamine my military IP to see what more we can de to stop Iran from assisting Houthi forces being a terror state. I still remain strong on make relevant harbours and train tracks inoperable. Has almost no civilian casualties and it stops whatever they can hand to Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi forces without funds. And as their forces dry up from having to have weapons of all kinds,, which in the larger scheme of things help all the nations under attack from these 4 parties.

And Iran is happy, the United States has a wimp as president, they are happy because the United States with Israel instigated al this. And why? Whereis the Nuclear materials, where is the evidence? What is behind this? As I personally see this Exxon: Reported quarterly earnings of $14.5 billion to $15+ billion, Chevron: Posted quarterly profits around $12 billion and ongoing geopolitical tensions and the effective closure/disruption of critical shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz have tightened global oil and gas supplies, all this because the United States has a fearing idiot in its White House? It needs to fork over well over a trillion dollars every year in interest. This is not going away and why should the rest suffer because of bad money management of one nation? So whilst we heard ‘the golden age of AI is here’ too many are realising that there is not such a thin and they are paying each other and that is now ending too. So whilst the markets adjust a multi trillion amount we are left to watch not to bright politicians go ‘oops’ and we are left with a mess as such I gave Saudi Arabia and the UAE the means to deal with Iran and in my setting no $43.6 billion through Sep 3, 2026 would have been required, because I aimed for what stops revenue and the blockade is still running. What they leave out I that the United States is now weaker than ever. It will take years for its missiles to be remade and the costs are not given anywhere. So whilst the United States is fighting a war on two fronts, its banks on one side and their enemies and allies on the other front, because as I see it, the United States no longer has any friends, so it can easily make matters worse for everyone else. And any strategist could have seen the impact that my solutions had, I worked from history and France during WW2 proved my point in one instance and the other instance was proven during the Atlantic wars, it had 6 wars between those my strategy made sense. Of course it is not an exact science, but the Iranian harbours had a few weaknesses to exploit, but take out the trains and the harbours and Iranian has a few other issues and rearming their terrorist arms (Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi) comes to an end and right quick, that is the reality of this. I get that Iran takes up arms against the United States and Israel, It was under attack, but the attacks on Aramco, ADNOC, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other gulf states is their weakness too, because they see oil going to the western fronts and they cab’t have that and with the current administration they see there chance for a large seat on the oil table and whilst they sell to India and China they see their chance and as I see it the Houthi terrorist need to be stopped as such their supplier and backer Iran becomes a major track and whist it think it is safe because of the acts of idiocy by the United States (by the US proclaiming victory over 60 times) they see their path clear and keep the Straight of Hormuz closed, but stop their infrastructure and their problems become fivefold because any handle on this requires an infrastructure and when their Approximately 12,998 kilometres loses over 20% their paths become a massive drag and it all is slowed down further by delay over delay. It took me a little over two days to set to mind and paper and no $43.6 billion was required. As I see it, as little as $25,000,000 would be needed to make the ideas reality and as the adopting of something like a DJI FlyCart 30 is minimal refitting a $20K drone might be all that is needed to give the Iranian transport a massive slap in the face. No billions were required in stopping one side and the required other side is a much cheaper drone with claymore on its side and partially destroy refineries. Some casualties are expected there, it is the expectations of watching flammable stuff go boom. Still the overall costs stays well under $50M, so why does the United States not consider this? Why is it making these stupid settings, because if the Gulf is in trouble they look less like losers and optionally they get an extension on the loans they have and they have over 40 trillion of those, whilst the Gulf states (Saudi Arabia and the UAE) are largely debt free, or at least in a much better manageable state and Iran is making that equation fall south through its terrorist arm. And I say that this has to stop and I think that there is both and upside and downside on this. The upside is that its General Intelligence Presidency under Khalid bin Ali Al Humaidan, requires a redesign because as I see it, the amount of failures (I expect through the CIA) requires redesign and rearmed with ‘better’ intelligence tools that are not based on American ‘ideology’, I am not sure where to go and I understand that the Israeli foundation is not a way they want to go, but there is also the Chinese solution and it is (as stated by some of their enemies) top notch. Then there will become a handle on the intelligence on armament paths for the Houthi terrorist and they could reaffirm the strategy to keep Aramco and Riyadh safe (other cities too). And perhaps that will open weaknesses on the Iranian sides too, but that is pure speculation from my side.

Have a great day today,

What we mentally reject

That is where I am at. People who know me have known that I have always ben on the side of the UAE and I am ready to reject the premise that the Deutsche Welle gives us, but it is not that simple. They give us ‘Iran war turns Dubai into a Ghost city’ and I hate to admit it, but Iran has thrown the hatchet down to the UAE. I would still stand with the UAE and I did by handing the UAE my military IP free of charge (as well as Saudi Arabia) it is yet another example that eradication of Iran is becoming an essential thing. I do not fault them for attacking in retaliation to the US and Israel, these are legitimate targets because of the events that took place, as ‘my’ bible educates me to turn the other cheek, I see that as a legitimate reason to destroy Irans refineries, their harbours and their manufacturing options. Seems merely fair play. However, we can see that the terror vision of Iran is making an impact, that is beside the Bitcoin bitches that ran for their life on day one shouting that their lives were in danger. There is a solution, because these 10 images are direct, but could be made in several ways. To counter one is to create YouTube videos, almost everywhere. Like they did months ago. This time, it could be the UAE population giving us the views in the malls, the sites and the walkthroughs of places, beaches, entertainment sections, malls, Dubai has a population of 4,807,185. These people got somewhere? Why not film these events and make sure that Dubai remains on the video map. In 2024 Abu Dhabi had a population of 4,135,985. Same thing applies here. Last year the tourists were making videos of great places and theme parks. So why aren’t the locals doing that? And the numbers are out there “As of 10 May 2026, the UAE has intercepted and destroyed 551 ballistic missiles, 2,265 drone attacks and 29 cruise missiles fired from Iran” but the important numbers were missing, you see as far as I know less then 1% made is through and only 1% of 1% hit something substantial, which implies that my ‘criminal’ act of jay walking has a better odds of creating a self inflicted issue. I have no real numbers, but the statistics of getting hit in such a way is seemingly a lot less than getting hit by an attack in the UAE from Iran. As such these films should bare out that the UAE (particularly Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah) should be a lot safer that the images make them out to be. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for destroying the infrastructure of Iran, but it seems to be that with a ‘presented’ damage of $600 million a day, it seems to me that doing something about that takes priority. OI reckon that ‘flooding’ YouTube with videos of how sweet life in these places are and optionally setting the same videos to Instagram, TikTok and Rednote (sometimes called Redbook) as such, as we see the ‘statistics’ for TikTok (which is 1.36 billion to 2 billion monthly active users worldwide) and Youtube gives us an approximate of 2.58 billion monthly active users globally. It seems to me that these two alone gives us half the planet. As such there is a reason for Emirati’s to take their camera to the streets. And it seems more ‘pacifistic’ to embrace peace, but I feel a righteous anger to inflict massive damage on the harbours and railways of Iran. The UAE government might even address the knowledge levels of the Emirati’s by making sure that they have the skills to edit and Ill bet you dollars for doughnuts (an American expression I actually love) that the local population might love showing the people on this planet just how lovely theses places are. The idea of teach a population the options of creating excellent video’s on your Android Mobile (yes, I know Apple has its own system, but I am an android person). We can accept the news in Deutsche Welle (which might be absolutely accurate at https://www.dw.com/en/iran-war-turns-dubai-into-a-ghost-city/g-76454537) but we could see these images in another light.

  1. A man sitting sad outside his shop.
  2. Someone browsing the news in a fashion shop.
  3. An empty street at the back of a building. For all I know it was taken behind a building on Al Marabea’ St.
  4. A shot of an empty beach, the UAE which could have been taken at 06:00 (when most people are emulating saw machines, aka snoring)

I am not saying that this is what happening, but it could be. These images might harm tourism as well, but the alternative is to go to the United States, an option much less appealing. I still have great hope that I could spend a few hours floating on a tube down the Al Raha River (it is a very nice idea). I think it is important to counter the article in the Deutsche Welle and I am not saying that the article is a lie, but at present there isn’t anything showing us detailed views of what is happening and when the tourists stay away, we will not see a lot of videos on the locations and subjects. As such I think it is a good idea to show food courts, foods, like the options in AlBaik Dubai Mall (also on my bucket list) If there is nothing, people start speculating in every direction. When we see a mall filled with people (with 4,807,185, at least 1% goes to the Dubai mall, meaning that there are at least 48000 people in the Dubai mall in a day. So why aren’t we shown that? And I say that these videos would trump the millions that Iran is throwing away, we can still deal with their infrastructure on a video break, as the expression would go.

And as idea go, I don’t think it is the worst idea to have.

I reckon I am giving the Emirati’s something to this about today and as it is just past 5PM, plenty of Emirati’s are likely out and about to have tea, coffee, ice creams and other snacks (I apologise for not knowing what times mosques are to be attended).

Have a great day today.

Last stop speculation central

That is what it seems to me, however, the information given to us by Al Jazeera is too worrying to keep it from you. The title ‘Are Houthis using Russian satellites as Saudi Arabia fends off strikes?’ (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/31/are-houthis-using-russian-satellites-as-saudi-arabia-faces-hits) on one hand it would make the gulf states see Russia as a direct enemy towards their safety and security. It would be a really dumb thing to do, because the gulf states would be pressed directly in the arms of China. And that renewed alliance would bring China billions upon billions ion defense contracts. So when we get to “Analysts say the seizure of state arsenals, external backing and extensive military evolution has enabled the Houthis to build a powerful arsenal.” The better look is given by Elijah Magnier (Brussels based) who gives us “AURORA’s findings don’t necessarily show the whole picture.” I tend to be on that horse, the United States has every reason to see the relationship between Russia and the gulf states sour, but that doesn’t take away the setting we are given with ““The third is Iran obtained information through another intermediary, so a third party could theoretically have supplied the intelligence originated from the Russian system, and there is no currently publicly verified evidence establishing such an arrangement,” he added. But Obaid highlighted that distinguishing a Russian-supported intelligence architecture from proof that a particular Russian satellite supplied the targeting data for an individual Houthi strike is essential” and this makes perfect sense. In this the setting seems to add up and Nawaf Obaid, founder of the geosignal intelligence firm AURORAH. As such there is reason to believe that the Houthi terrorists are getting high end intelligence and knowing what we know from Iranian actions, the prefer a buffer zone, and a Russia buffer zone will do very well. This puts President Putin in a spell. He either denies Iran based players access from Russian satellites, or he is willing to play this out, knowing very well that this will enable a Chinese victory over the Gulf states and there is no coming back from that. As I see it, Nawaf Obaid its leaving an impression. Because “He said the satellites they identified include Russia’s Bars-M military mapping satellites, Persona optical reconnaissance satellites, Lotos-S1 electronic intelligence satellites, Pion-NKS maritime reconnaissance systems and Kondor-FKA radar-imaging satellites. They also examined the EKS/Tundra infrared early-warning constellation.

“The critical finding was not the presence of individual Russian satellites, but the sequencing and integration of their complementary intelligence capabilities,” he said.” So either the CIA didn’t know or didn’t care and either case is damaging to the United States, especially as they received in 2025 (allegedly) “the combined National Intelligence Program ($73.4 billion)”, I have no idea how big the budget of AURORAH is, but it is not that much, not by a long shot. So has the United States lost interest in the gulf states? That would be a nice opening sentence for the Chinese parties, that the United States no longer needs access to OPEC and its 1.2 trillion to 1.5 trillion barrels of oil. As such the political plays are massive and there is a reservation I must give you. This is one article from Al Jazeera, I have not seen any corroboration from anywhere else.

So when we get to “Obaid also confirmed to Al Jazeera that based on the findings, “Russian military geospatial and signals intelligence has supported the Iranian-led intelligence architecture assisting Houthi operations in Yemen.”” As well as “He said the strongest operational example of this has been the Houthi offensive along Yemen’s western coast towards Bab al-Mandeb, where Russian-derived intelligence, Iranian command integration and local human intelligence all contributed to “the rapid deterioration of opposing Yemeni forces’ battlefield coordination”.

“We assess that this intelligence relationship is also relevant to Houthi missile and drone targeting against Saudi Arabia. Russian military reconnaissance provides capabilities far beyond ordinary commercial satellite imagery, particularly when optical, radar and electronic intelligence are integrated,” he said.” Whilst I read this may mind goes wondering how the CIA missed all this? Or are they no longer interested? You know with midterms coming up next week. But the setting that China could take this setting and offset both the United States and Russia and away from the access of more than a trillion barrels of oil is kinda astounding, especially as oil is priced between $104 and $114 dollars a barrel. And whilst they already squandered access to Canadian oil, I would think that they would make sure all intelligence on how Houthi terrorist is getting their intel might be a little higher on their list.

So whilst we contemplate “Russian officials have not yet commented on AURORAH’s findings, but in recent years, technological and military ties between Russia and Iran have deepened significantly, anchored by joint strategic agreements, space cooperation, and the exchange of defence technology. Ahmed Nagi, a senior analyst on Yemen at the International Crisis Group, said Moscow reportedly supporting Tehran’s allies like the Houthis is particularly significant because it would mean a shift in the trajectory of the Yemeni conflict.” This makes sense if this is done without approval of the Kremlin (aka President Putin) and the coins that some are getting are now getting in the way of political aspirations. And I for one am not convinced that the CIA is behind this, but I find it weird that the CIA never found this. Making Nawaf Obaid a possible new player in the Gulf States intelligence circles, especially if be can find and bind this to Iranian parties.

Yes, I am massively speculating here and I admit this, because this setting might require some additional speculation, if not for the who, it might merely push the innocent parties also in the limelight and that is equally important.

So have a great day and enjoy halloween. I did my good deed for this special day, I aided my ex in an assisted suicide I pushed her into a woodchopper, she was too scared to do it herself. And again I prove that no Halloween is complete without a bad joke or two.

Finally

So Arab News gives us hours ago (at https://www.arabnews.com/saudi-arabia/houthi-attacks-on-saudi-airports-raise-question-of-war-crimes-un-rights-chief-tells-arab-news-3008749) Houthi terrorists have been going this path for a while now, as such the question is a little late, but so be it. We are given ‘Houthi attacks on Saudi airports raise question of war crimes, UN rights chief tells Arab News’ I think this question of war crimes was a long time coming. So as we see “Attacks by the Yemen-based Houthis on airports and other civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia raise the question of possible war crimes, the UN’s top human rights official told Arab News, as he also condemned the detention of dozens of UN staff in Yemen by the Iran-backed militia.” Is his real goal the Saudi issue, or is it “he also condemned the detention of dozens of UN staff in Yemen by the Iran-backed militia”? You tell me. I feel certain that there were attacks by Houthi terrorists into Saudi Arabia, but that news seems to be suppressed. And as Volker Turk gives us “Turk said he was “very worried about the escalation that we see,” and once again highlighted the 71 UN workers currently detained by the Houthis, eight of them from his own office. Some have been held for years. “It’s totally unacceptable,” he said, describing the detentions as “the most flagrant violation” of the privileges and immunities afforded to UN staff.” As I see the setting that 71 UN workers, some for years have been held. It seems to me that the condemnation of Houthi terrorists comes a little late, as such I wonder what drive him out to the front today, because as I see it, this is not the real setting (for him), but I have been wrong before. So whilst we are given “Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki, a spokesperson for the international Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, said on Oct. 15 that King Khalid International alone had been targeted 20 times since the start of the month. The attacks have continued since then, and the coalition said on Wednesday it intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile fired toward the city of Taif.” So there were 20 attacks for the last two weeks? And now the UN makes hay out of this? I reckon that most of the world is no longer holding the UN as a serious matter and this is how they are setting up a ‘united front’ it is too bad that King Khalid International airport had to endure 20 attacks in the last two weeks. But that might be the bitter pill that the UN is serving up, whilst Google search is living us with blanks. Because there I find “This attack follows an escalating series of Houthi missile and drone strikes targeting major regional airports throughout October 2026, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and airports in Abha and Dammam. A major October 10 strike on Riyadh’s airport resulted in multiple casualties and temporary international flight suspensions” I am not blaming Google, but if this is what I find, who is suppressing the news? The media itself? Just a question to consider today. Have a good one.

They think the end is near

Yes, we al hear it. People are saying that their difficulties are over the moment they throw that clown into prison. But it is not that simple. True is gone, Credibility is gone and the are not coming back any day soon. My personal feeling is that until 2040 there will not be any credibility given towards the United States. There is reason for that, they never really convicted him for the insurrection impeachment, there are too many factors going into these settings and it is clear that some democrats were hesitant, hesitant about what was lawful, hesitant about a whole lot of things and the world has had enough. And when we see the setting of Canada and Venezuela there is even more anger. Did anyone ever find the 13 billion that was ‘supposedly’ misplaced? As toilet paper is at this moment $2.68 is is a whole lot of money missing the balance sheets and whilst the Gulf States are angry about their lost revenue of oil, which makes sense as Iran is clearly guilty, but the president who started it all is now seen as a horse not shown, all whilst he is depriving the Ukraine from essential intelligence. So, should we refer to the United States now as West-Russia? But the stage is a lot worse (according to Fortune) who claimed that the United States became insolvent in March this year. And according to Treasury department data, the budget deficit widened to $1.99 trillion, which is 12% worse than $1.78 trillion gap in 2025. So who ever becomes president, they will inherit a mess that will take decades to clean up and whilst they want to make trade agreements, the rest of the world aren’t interested and it seems that all the deals are mede between the world leaders and Canada, that so all 51st state and these larger revenues are being kept away from the United States, so where is that ‘big and beautiful country with the greatest economy in history’, but as I see it, those many billions are merely changing hands between Nvidia, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Oracle. Merely these 5 hands and they are exchanging invoices between each other and that is not really an economic setting and whilst Microsoft pulled out of the UK because of power delays (source: Reuters) I think there is more going on. Europe and the Commonwealth are actively striving for data sovereignty and that take Microsoft of the board. It basically takes them all of the board making the economic setting for the United States a bit of a mess. And whilst they are getting more and more deals, theft that they are American will stop a whole range of deals moving forward. Still we see all the news and the debatable settings and the options is still there that the media is set on a scaffold right next to the republican party and ‘We merely brought the news’ will no longer hold any water.

So whilst the American voters is looking for relief (as well as their $5000 dollars) the news is merely getting worse. You see, where the United States was for a long time the only option, the gulf states have now an exceeding commerce repartee that combines several items and exceeds a total of $300 billion and I reckon that should Chinese hardware come involved against Houthi terrorists, the Houthi setting will open up additional sources of intelligence and merchandise and they will gain a foothold in both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Iran will drop the Houthi terrorists like a bad habit, because Chine assures 90% of Irans oil supply. And that works in two ways for Saudi Arabia, because the United States ‘claimed’ (according to the Jerusalem Post) ‘What does Tom Barrack’s warning on Saudi Arabia reveal about US Middle East policy?’ Where we see “US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack, who is also the US envoy to Iraq and Syria, spoke on October 20 at the Global Security Forum in Doha. He discussed Saudi Arabia’s“difficult position” today. He hinted at the challenge Riyadh and others will face pursuing an exclusively military or “kinetic” response.” I merely wonder why a kinetic response even mean. The UK and UAE see the dangers that Houthi forces mean and I reckon that China could brake that stalemate and as such the USA is out of any negotiations with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. So do you still believe the United States is in a setting where they can rightfully claim that they are that ‘big and beautiful country with the greatest economy in history’ but that would be an erroneous statement. If it was so great why do the people in Nevada get the news from the Nevada Current “Rising costs threaten Nevada revenue outlook, state economic panel warned”? And on that notion the LA Times gives its readers ‘While California’s tourism rallied, L.A. faced its worst year since the pandemic’ as I see it, not an economy that is that great, because the drop in tourism hits nearly all walks of life and the numbers we are given are those of flim flam artists. They focus on resilience, not on revenue and when they do that we see small settings and how well they are doing, all whilst the established parties like WFTV tell us “Universal Orlando announced plans to lay off more workers as theme parks continue to struggle because of the coronavirus pandemic.” We got this 20 hours ago, so what the setting with an upsurge in Coronavirus? Is it just an excuse because the real numbers are not what stakeholders and shareholders are looking for?

We can look at all these numbers until we go blind. But the short and sweet is that the United States are done for until after the elections in 2040 and by then Saudi Arabia has completed its Vision 2030 and the UAE will have two new icons in its theme parks and that will guarantee millions of more tourists and those tourists will not be visiting the United States. So whilst their defense industry are losing clients (and they have to renew all the missiles lost in the last 6 months) we see the data sovereignty hit hard in the EU and the Commonwealth we see a former United States beg for revenue and they are unlikely to get it, and when the larger corporations become EU corporations and reject the United States as their home base, the US Department of the Treasury will see a scaling balance that is off by a lot and whilst this administration might be in denial, the successor will have no option to leave the books open and show where it all went and this happens at almost the same time as the Business Times of Singapore is giving us ‘The battle against rising US Treasury yields’ where we see “WITH benchmark US Treasury yields breaking above 5.3 per cent in October, rising bond yields are now at the forefront of investor concerns against the backdrop of America’s US$40 trillion in debt outstanding.” And this is 22 hours ago.

So whilst people might panic (just like the Bitcoin bitches in Dubai a few weeks ago) the entire Image is likely distorted, with people in charge not willing to see the real picture and others hoping for a quick resolution because they have financially vested interests in all this. I cannot offer them anything of substance, because this administration treated any ally they had with animosity and more animosity than the United States has given Russia recently, even turning against the Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This is funny in my book, because the man that voiced Paddington Bear is turning the big bear of Russia into its personal bitch and it is fun because Paddington Bear is British, not a Disney character. So fun all around.

Have a great day today

The red horse

It has been busy, but it is also getting countered. Arab News (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/3007204) is telling us that ‘Saudi Arabia and UAE call for closer Gulf coordination in face of Houthi attacks’ it is a good start, although a case could be made to include Egypt as there is every chance that Egypt will be a point of ‘evasion’ by the Houthi terrorists. It is a mere personal observation that they do not want to get caught retreating not the Sudan, but I have no definitive intelligence on that, other that the fact that they have disrupted Sudanese politics and assistance efforts to its population. I totally agree on the setting we are given by “Saudi Arabia and the UAE on Monday called for stronger coordination among Gulf nations to contain escalating regional tensions amid continuing Houthi attacks on the Kingdom. It came as the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, and his Emirati counterpart, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, discussed the latest regional developments, and condemned attacks by the Yemeni militia against civilian sites in Saudi Arabia. The ministers stressed the need for closer consultations and joint diplomatic efforts to strengthen cooperation among Gulf Cooperation Council member states, support de-escalation and prevent conflicts from spreading across the region, the Saudi Press Agency reported.” I am of the mind that de-escalation could be achieved through eradication and it might be a reason why politics is not a direction I should actively try to find employment in. However the red horse and its rider are more effective in the United States where (according to some) the dumbest person on the planet was made President. According to the United Kingdom they tend to bash and ridicule their dumbest people (aka village idiots) but in America these people are given a White House (with decently new curtains and wallpapers), but I would not know anything about that. Yet the Guardian gives us ‘Trump slams Zelenskyy amid Russia sanctions rift and says ‘somebody else’ should negotiate for Ukraine’, I am of the mind that the Ukraine did the right think by selecting the Ukrainian voice of Paddington bear as president of their nation. With the 20th largest army he stopped the army that was in the top 3 of the world (it is now number 8 according to some sources) the Red Horse and its rider have seen loads of action in that region. So, whist only 16 hours ago we saw the Guardian give us ‘Trump accuses Zelenskyy of not wanting to end war as feud rumbles on’ and it is ghastly what he mentions, especially as Former Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin stated that the one way to peace was for Russia to leave Ukrainian grounds and she said that on October 9th 2022, so basically a little over 4 years ago and most of the educated politicians of the world agree on that. So it is a little baffling how the president of Western Russia (aka President Trump) states that other people should be speaking for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Can you imagine the gaul of some people? Perhaps he needs cheap diesel and that is one way to get it, because there is every chance that no matter how ‘resilient’ the US Economy is rated at, the chances are that the Credit Card of the United States might in the near future get rejected more and more and as they are losing allies in the gulf states, they might be scraping the bottom of the barrel for people with a positive mindset on the United States. And whilst we see the Guardian give us “Trump defends decision to waive some sanctions on Russia” there is every chance that this will cost him additional allies and as CNBC gave us two days ago “Ukraine is facing increasing uncertainty over its ability to sustain the war against Russia as a series of moves by U.S. President Donald Trump has raised fresh questions about Washington’s reliability as Kyiv’s most important military partner.

Trump’s agreement with Putin to ease sanctions for Russia to provide global markets with diesel, as well as restrictions on U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukrainian forces” is merely one side, the other side was given to us by Politico who gives us ‘Wright defends Trump’s Russian diesel deal as ‘carrot’ for peace’ where we see “Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Sunday defended President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia as an “incentive” for Moscow to “reduce” its war in Ukraine, adding that after four years of conflict, other attempts to bring both sides to the table had failed. “This is a carrot to try to end a war. It’s not an economic lifeline for Russia,” Wright said on ABC’s “This Week.” “President Trump isn’t going to just throw up his arms and say, ‘Well, I guess we can never stop it,’” he added, when pressed on why a “carrot” was the appropriate action at this moment. “Clearly, it’s a tricky problem.” Wright argued that sanctions on Russian oil remain in place and that Moscow could only benefit from diesel relief by reducing its war effort or reaching an agreement with Ukraine that would allow it to repair its oil refineries.” And whilst everyone is focussing on Bugs Bunnies food supply and the ‘code word’ for cheap diesel, the turn is that the United States has little more to offer. The clambake in Iran has taken resources from the United States and they need years to rebuild it, in the meantime every lat penny is poured into the stage of ‘looking good’ all whilst there is more and more failing, all whilst the media is ‘assisting’ the United States by making hit a story towards resilience. So whilst we are given that “Pressed about Trump’s earlier announcement of an energy ceasefire, which both Ukraine and Russia have denied, Wright described an agreement as something the president was still pursuing.” And no one is pursuing this? An energy ceasefire that both parties deny? So where is this coming from? The wishful thinking list for the tooth fairy? Did anyone ask Dwayne Johnson if he was aware of that list?  And the idea that an announcement is given on a matter that “the president was still pursuing”, I merely wonder who was managing that sketch, because as a joke it is in bad taste especially as we consider that at least 15,578 civilians have been killed and over 43,352 injured in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022. There is not a pursuit of anything and as I see it, there is nothing feasible about “an agreement with Ukraine that would allow Russia to repair its oil refineries”, as I see it, they should all be bombed to hell, something President Trump failed to do in Iran and now he has an upcoming war that will last over a decade. So yes, I would encourage the red horse and its rider to support the Ukraine to wreck havoc on Russia. And don’t take my word on this, Sun Tzu wrote not around 500BC, so we have 2500 years of experience and knowledge that this is the correct setting. He wrote something in the spirit of “Feeding off the Enemy (Chapter 2: Waging War): Sun Tzu famously notes that transporting food and equipment over long distances ruins your own country’s economy and impoverishes the common people. Therefore, “a wise general strives to feed off the enemy”” and several players know this beforehand and if they claim ignorance on those fact they should not be inn positions of power. That sounds simple enough.

So the red horse is active in several stages, but we are all about countering that red horseman, by either giving the options to the pale horse or the pale horse. I reckon that only Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are worthy a visit from the White horse, whilst it is not a conquest when you regain your territory, they did conquer Russian forces and that warrants a visit from the White horse.

And whilst this is going on, we will watch and see how Saudi Arabia and optionally with assistance of the UAE defeat and diminish the numbers of Houthi terrorists. We can always be in denial of granting any thoughts to the red horse and that is fine, but as I see it, it is a defeating choice, because in the end out leads to visits from the black horse an your soul is handed to the pale horse, it is pretty much your only option, because there is nothing wrong with the pacifist mindset, I to some extent applaud it, but it can only survive when all parties agree to it, as such it is harder to start something, but the starters of war like pacifists, because they can take whatever they want and leave you with nothing, which makes you a target of the black horse and famine overtakes you. Where will your pacifistic mindset go then? If you are merely one person, it is a choice for you, but when you have a family and loved ones, where did your pacifism leave them? Lambs for the slaughter? You think about that.

Have a great day today.

The preamble to psychosis

There has been a way of thinking induced. It started when I was focusing on two scripts. It wasn’t that I ‘needed’ to write both, more that the setting of a stage was required. This happens. I let my mind wander and waver until something clicks. Then at some point I was considering the reasons for psychosis. I am (apparently) unaware of its settings. Then my mind started to play with combinations psycho sociopath versus a sociopathic psycho. And I went from there. But then an idea came to me. Not for the two scrips, but it might be an idea for one of them, an episode out of these thoughts. Still, the ideas came calling.

In this idea the character was moving and the first thing he encounters is that his computer is stolen, but he sees the thief and from there he goes on a killing spree. His killing game show so to speak. So he goes on a murder bender, killing the thief in a rage and removing the evidence, although the rage seemed real, it was his way to show the world that he was out of control, but it only seemed that way. His methods are too calculating and too precise, which is why the police isn’t focussing on him. Then he sees what was connected and he goes deeper and deeper into that maze. And whilst we see that ‘maze’ we see the elements of jealousy and envy so whilst he is confronted with the want of something that belongs to him and their fear of losing something that already was the main character. In this he continues his killing spree, a spree that frightens the people behind the thief, their envy becomes apparent but their fear is checked by their greed and that drives the point along. And in my mind, the idea is that their fear of death will push them to betray the people that least deserved to be betrayed and that might give a link to (I won’t call them) organized crime (unless they wield a PDA or a Filofax) but this setting is one that drives several options to the surface and hills, I like where this is heading, it is merely one episode in that tale and in the other setting I am not of a clear mind, but the other one needs to go in a different direction, because the ‘American’ way of ‘adjusting’ the same idea in several paths is not the real deal of any storyteller. Perhaps those with the mere focus of making money, but that is where the ‘Hollywood’ strain comes in.

As there are other options Canada, Saudi Arabia, UAE (both Dubai and Abu Dhabi) are the settings for the next generation of storytellers and as storyteller we have to look where the markets are. And even if I struck out with my first script (me looking somewhat sad), I still have arrows in the quiver, or is that a script in my quill? Although my quill has a keyboard and a screen I can till call it whatever I like, it is mine to name it.

But as we name our tools, we tend to limit its potential. Don’t ask me why, it merely is that way. So from parchment with quill we went to ballpoint and paper then a typewriter and paper and from there we went to computers, laptops, tablets and so on, but at every step we lost something along the way as writing went faster, we forced our brains to go faster and I don’t think it always held up to what the writer wanted it to be. As we gained time to ‘write’ faster, we lost time to think and that is where it all happens in these gray cells, that is where our stories started, not on paper or on screen, in our minds. And whilst we consider what we gain in speed, we lost creativity against time and that is the conundrum and even I see this, no matter how fast the idea evolve in my brain. I realise that the time gained is lost into a second or even a third thinking over the idea I had.

And there we see the preamble, an introduction of events that comes before the formally formed writing or even the written action to explain its purpose and optional background. The is the setting and I let set this to a more direct setting. The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem containing 15,693 lines divided into 24 books. But how long did it take to write it? I cannot find anything stating that, merely that it was written around 762 BC. The is as good as it gets and compare this to the 28 verified deals across the year (with some industry tallies tracking roughly 19 to 23 core summer/seasonal milestones), but how many scripts were offered? Some say 20000-25000, I honestly have no idea. But in this stage where we see so many scripts making the rounds. How many are honestly originals? I can’t tell if mine is original. I personally think so, but the idea that someone had a similar idea is not out of the realm of possibilities. As such I put parts of my scripts online, it gives a timeline of originality (or so I believe it does). And as I am contemplating more settings (which beats the stories on politics of today) and in some aspects the warmongering I have, because that at least comes with the grounds of originality. And we all admire originality in ourselves and in others. It is the beginning of innovation. And whilst we see the need for innovation, some are merely in it for the money (those numbers with a preceding $) and whilst we can accept that, I have a lessened need for that, this is why I gave the ideas I had on dealing with Iran to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, they can see if it works for them and as such I will have done my duty as a person.

Perhaps I will gain some out of it, but it is not my goal (still it is nice to get some) and whilst it is not the main setting, the idea is to make it part of my story is still an added part of it. Why matters is that more people are looking into their options to stop players like Iran in ways I never considered. I optionally took out the railway systems, the harbours and a few other settings (like refineries). They are merely optional settings but someone else who could have had chemical degrees (My chemistry knowledge is massively below par) could have found a way to poison the oil. My limited setting is merely set to add yellowcake (no idea how to put my hands on that, or if it would even work) to the oil, irradiating it all and making that mix useless for generations (as well as spending billions in separating the two). There are likely a lot more options (I reckon the members of the Pentagon never earned their stripes), and that is merely a thought coming to mind and optionally the start of another setting for an episode. And I do like to surprise my self, just this day I surprised myself wth a slice of Tiramisu, best surprise ever (they ran out of Black Forest cake).

So time to think of a few other settings and hopefully Final Draft works out their copy/paste problem, so I can set at least a few more options to ‘actual script’ Have a great day.

A boggling mind

That happens and at present it is my mind that is boggling. First off, there is no critique on Saudi Arabia and how it does it business. None at all. My mind is merely looking at what the media is ‘offering my mind’ and as Al Jazeera gives us ‘Houthi missile attack targets Saudi capital Riyadh for third day in a row’, my mind is at a standstill. We know what abilities Palantir has in the settings of data intelligence, but so does IBM Miner (formerly known as SPSS Miner and before that as Clementine), then there is Jingan Technology (of which I know less than nothing) and I know only what certain media settings ‘declassifies’ and we are given “Established in 2021 in Hangzhou, China, by veterans from major tech firms (Alibaba, Baidu, Huawei) and Chinese military branches, Operates under China’s military-civil fusion strategy, supplying intelligence-gathering, geospatial analysis, and predictive tools to state security, public security, and People’s Liberation Army (PLA)/defense-linked clients.” (Source: South China Morning Post) And I am merely setting that stage as Palantir as a US product might no longer be as reliable as it once was. If course IBM miner is a BI took and not an intelligence tool, so it might be missing a fair bit on sides in all this considering and contemplating Palantir Gotham. But as I see it, it is important to find ways to seek solutions in the data mess, mainly because it could help Saudi Arabia and I am careful to use the application as ‘could’ because I have no idea on how far Saudi Arabia is in the data digging mess (my best assessment in this) as I gave last week that shipping parsing in the Gulf of Aden is in part an optical solution and that is stated as I never saw any smuggling data and I have seen shipping data and these ‘box carriers’ show up all over the maritime tracking settings. But there is a catch are they being tracked or intentionally ‘avoiding to be tracked’ and that is in part a solution as one source gives me “Roughly 55 to 65 ships pass through the Gulf of Aden each day, though daily totals fluctuate due to regional security incidents and re-routing” that is an amount that is manageable. The question is how far can we track these ships and which ones are in verifiable settings and courses to be optionally disregarded and that leaves us with X amount of ships that require a closer eye. And we might be looking in the wrong direction, but the clear setting is that we get in sources from Twitter (say X) “In a statement on X, Turki Al-Maliki, the spokesperson for the coalition, said the Houthis fired one ballistic missile at Riyadh and two towards Khamis Mushait, a city in the southwest. All three were “intercepted and destroyed” my mindset is that these rockets could not have been produced in Yemen and the fact that these rocket (no matter that they were destroyed) requires certain electronics and it is for that reason that I feel that Iran is the likeliest culprit. And as it was not a drone, it was a ballistic missile. As such the pool of likely candidates is somewhat diminished from a dozen to a mere 2-3 parties. And at least one of those is on friendly terms with Saudi Arabia. So I feel that I am on the correct track. And as a solution we see the BI solution IBM Miner and in a more military setting we get to Palantir and whatever Jingan Technology has. 

But there is also the setting of whatever the Presidency of State Security (PSS) is, because as I see it, General Turki Al-Maliki should be given every support he could get and that is where I am at present. So, what solutions are in use and why can there be no additional support (because Saudi Arabia should have as much as it can), mainly because Saudi Arabia is under attack and it is Aramco, Khamis Mushait as well as the King Khalid airport. And in my mindset terrorists should not get this far, as I see it, eradication of terrorists is an essential need. Perhaps some want to invite them for tea and cookies but I am all about destroying the enemy, especially if they are targeting civilians. 

The question is how to go best about that. I have a clear view because I was given these tools in the past, I was giving (non military) intelligence in the past and as such I came to the Gulf of Aden as a first. There is of course the chance that these smuggle activities are Iran, Iraq, Jordan and then the red sea, but I would think that this track has the most complications and as such a much larger chance of failure. The other option is the Arabian Sea and than via Africa, but there are a few players there who would prefer Saudi Arabia as a friend and as such the gulf of Aden remains. A simple track (possibly a wrong one) and the resources to track these up to 80 ships daily (I am taking additional numbers under advisement) are a first, because that might get a better view and of course there is every chance that these ‘missile components’ are optionally shipped as ‘boxes of mobiles’ or something like that and there we have options of detecting and that comes with additional settings of releasing over 75% of ships who are innocent. But as my mind sees it we get the oldest question setting (from the 70s) where we get the image of Who, What, When, Where, How and Why. Six elements that might reveal who Saudi Arabia is dealing with. And of course ii am coming from a biased setting and as such I am on the Iran setting (Who) and what is either complete ballistic missiles but that seems less likely, more likely are the elements, because the explosive settings could come from all directions, but the electronics are likely from the “Who” side, making Iran the likely candidate. And in support I give you that Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi terrorists are openly supported from Iran. 

This is my mindset and it is not impossible that I am wrong and that is also part of the analyses from either of these three parts (IBM, Palantir, Jingan Technology) and I could be wrong, but on these sides we see certain tools and these seemingly the tip of the spear and that is one place to look at. And I recently (in the last 24 hours) was given “Palantir Technologies has expanded its presence in Saudi Arabia through strategic defense, artificial intelligence, and regional digital transformation partnerships” (source: X/Twitter) as such I feel I am on the right track.

It feels nice to focus on a data problem and in the end it is a data problem because this can only work if we consider and eliminated verifiable data settings, but that might be my limited look on the matter (and I have been accused more than once of oversimplifying complex settings), but that would be me.

Have a great day and I noticed that I am now roughly 180 minutes from breakfast, so one more log to saw and of to the breakfast table I go.

Have a great day today.

Is business booming?

This morning I was made aware of an article on ABC news. The article (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-13/saudis-probe-houthi-attack-on-riyadh-airport-amid-ongoing-attack/107258142) is giving us ‘Saudi-led coalition destroys Houthi ballistic missile amid probe into air defences’ where we get the key points “Saudi Arabia says it has intercepted a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis towards Riyadh. Houthis claimed responsibility for two strikes on Monday, local time, aimed at Riyadh airport and an air base in Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait. The fresh strikes come after Saudi Arabia launched an investigation to determine how its air defences failed to intercept the Houthi missiles.” And as I (personally) see it, Houthi terrorists don’t have the ability to set the ballistic missiles, as such I come to the conclusion that Iran is (the most likely culprit) providing assistance. Either direct or indirect, as such several options should be considered by the Saudi government. The latter one was on July 18th 2026 as I wrote ‘Terrorists are as terrorists do’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/07/18/terrorists-are-as-terrorists-do/) and I was considering different settings. You see we all look towards Palantir Gotham to solve tactical settings for Saudi Arabia, but at present the United States is no longer considered to be a reliable ally. But where is China in all this. Technological adversaries tend to be on similar terms. So what is the Chinese version of Palantir? I know nothing of them, other than that they are spread over several software considerations. And as I see it Jingan Technology might be a decent alternative and it would spread ‘the good word’ from the Chinese government towards Saudi Arabia. As I see it, a certain person (namely Alex Karp) would have to start all sails towards solving the Saudi problems and to solve the intelligence towards solving the Houthi terrorist conundrum. How are they supplied? I considered several options in ‘Where the dogs sleep’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/09/25/where-the-dogs-sleep/) and I still believe they are valid thoughts, but now the question becomes. Who will assist Saudi Arabia better? Palantir or Jingan Technology, because as I see it, whomever proves the ‘support’ channels of these terrorists, that party will have a much bigger pull into getting commerce with Saudi Arabia and I am not in that field, I merely support Saudi Arabia as it is attacked and that much stop. Unlike others I have no problems getting create suffering to the attacking party of Saudi Arabia, which I personally still believe is Iran. So when the Houthi terrorists are made evanescent (an expensive word meaning to  be reduced to nothingness) we can focus on the parties that are supporting Houthi terrorists. This might be too large a call to make, but change is done in steps and in all this I support the preservation of the Saudi way of life. I am not one of these templars who considered all saracens and muslims evil. I am not muslim, but they are allowed to defend their lands and whomever aids them is an ally. So who will answer the call? Alex Karp or Shi Qiaomu? They don’t need to call me, but I reckon that a call to Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud is in order from either, optionally both. 

Whilst the media is all about the ‘events’ no one is looking towards who is igniting these settings, just my way of thinking. So you all have a great day and try to enjoy your morning coffee in Toronto, lunch coffee in Amsterdam and Abu Dhabi and late coffee in Sydney. Different times, same concoction.

Indecent thoughts

It is something we all have at times. We are human and as such we have immature thoughts (except those involving Nina Dobrev, those are massively mature) but in other categories did you send a birthday card to President Trump today? It is world animal day after all. You see one mans thoughts are another persons food for vengeance and I am exactly on that setting at present.

A few hours ago I took notice of an event (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-04/houthi-saudi-yemen-iraq-middle-east-hostilities/107226524) where we saw (7 hours ago) ‘Iran-backed Houthis target Saudi oil facility as hostilities escalate in Yemen’, so who is providing these terrorists drones and ballistic missiles. The news gives us “Houthi-affiliated channel Al-Masirah TV reported that Saudi aircraft hit Sanaa with 26 strikes, after earlier reporting “Saudi aggression” against the Yemeni capital.” But the story behind all this is the fact that we are also given (at https://english.alarabiya.net/amp/News/saudi-arabia/2026/10/03/injury-damages-in-saudi-arabia-after-interception-of-houthi-missiles-drones) where we see ‘Injury, damages in Saudi Arabia after interception of Houthi missiles, drones’ and there is a setting that came to my mind. So as we see “Several attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis have resulted in an injury and damage to civilian property and infrastructure in Saudi Arabia according to official reports from late Friday and early Saturday. Fragments of an intercepted ballistic missile injured an Asian resident, damaged a prayer room and a number of vehicles in the Asir Province, according to the Saudi Civil Defense on Saturday.” I came to the thought that Houthi’s don’t have the options top produce any of that. And in that setting Palantir came to mind. If Palantir can analyze all the boats entering the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea weight get an actual handle on this setting. It will require a massive amount of number crunching and Saudi Arabia might have to add some intelligence gathering, but with every ship sunk on that roster, Houthi abilities might dwindle down and with the clear culprits in sight (I am not willing to blame Iran without evidence) we might get a handle on matters. 

As I see it, the press is useless, but their materials might give us a sight we never considered before. And I reckon that Palantir has the number crunching ability to make that work. There are more solutions, but by setting the manifesto of every ship in the region we could optionally limit the ships we need to set our sights to and there are plenty of methods, because most ships are set to turn a profit and when they do a few things that the timeline doesn’t like we get a possible target. And to be Frank (I am usually Jimmy) is there a better sight that watching this boat sink with all its ‘sugared’ cargo miles away from reaching that destination? It is merely a second price, the winning price is to use these drones and missiles and aim them at the Houthis. I fail to see the upside if they are not seeing the boom to start their party, even if they are the target themselves. 

So I wonder who considered that setting in toppling these smuggle operations. I am not saying it is an exact science, but to track the boats by other means than tracking ships radar trackers might be an idea and when we limit the numbers and whilst over 21,000 commercial and merchant vessels transit the waterway annually (averaging more than 100 per month) and these 100 per month could be tracked and from that image we see culprit, smuggler and optionally where they are off loaded. It is not likely that it is a harbour, but the timelines give is an insight of where to look. A simple thought that came to me in mere minutes (OK, I have a nautical degree and experience with this) but I am wondering how far Saudi Arabia took this setting and optionally there are ways that we can look at this (with the options to consider) how the smugglers keep the US Navy asleep. Because it is happening right under their noses. As far as I can remember they only ever found one ship with weapons (I think it is about two years ago) and now we might get a much more novel setting with one additional thought, but I will keep this private to me and Khalid bin Salman Al Saud, you can’t inform the boss of all this on the settings we get to celebrate on. 

It was such a simple setting, the setting is simple, the data acquisition is a lot less simple, but we have to start somewhere. So whilst the News channels look at the impact of Houthi terrorists, I looked at what could be done. Have a great day all
