Danger zones ahead

That is the warning, but it is a warning against myself. You see, there are too many options and there is always that I spread myself too thin, this is usually not a good thing, so whilst I was walking passed some intimate shop called Honey Badger (or something like that) ideas are to mind, but I waved them off for now. I was still thinking of ‘Canada announces ‘dollar-for-dollar’ retaliatory tariffs on US as high as 50%’ (source: BBC), so how long does it take for a 50% surcharge on their power bill? Lets see: New York, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Washington, Montana and California rely for massive amounts on Canadian power. As such the setting for these states are going to suffer and it is all due to (as some call him) President Donald ‘the Joker’ Trump and they can thank him in person (he is usually around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW). So feel free to drop him a well wishing card as states will settle in smoldering heat, because they can no longer afford the energy, as such all data centers get culled to minimal power to relieve the anguish of the people and as such the revenue of the American IRS goes down further, which means that infrastructure gets hurt even more. And all that before the limits of reducing critical metals step in, the infra structure of the United States is about to take hit after hit. Did anyone explain that to that ‘toddler’ Jamieson Greer? This is what retaliation looks like and I have more in store, because any attack to Canada results in me handing over IP to the tourism centers of the world making the recuperation of the United Staes less and less likely. 

So whilst we consider the Honey Badger setting, I was considering that the support that the United States needs is faltering and whilst some consider trying to hurt the United States in different ways (like Iran) I know first hand what happens when support systems falter and when it is added to critical points, the system collapses in its near entirety and many of us have seen this in one form or another. You see, the French writer La Rochefoucauld states (something according to the lines of) “It is not enough for me to succeed, others must fail” he wrote it towards jealousy and the success or failure of peers. So, as the United States is so jealous and keeps on going with their 51st state settings and calling Canada Nasty, this sneaky Australian is looking at all the places that the system could be imploded and I have my own ways to succeed, because greed is not in my blood and whilst I give away IP, it is tainted IP, because the moment American corporations touch it, they will be seen as the lacking innovators (for example Microsoft), whilst it is open to the ones I gave it to. Even now I see some signs that defence IP is looking my way, they left it too long and now Canadian Defence contractors see the options they get getting into defence contracts with the Gulf states, pushing the United States out ands we see another slice of revenue gone. You might think that this is mere splashes of water and you are not wrong, but the splashes will reduce what is left in the cup and the current economy of the United States needs that cup to be 95% full and my settings are taking a minimum of 5% away from all that, so as I see it, the United States can no longer afford the bills it is getting. These might be small steps, but someone ones told me that one year of standing still is merely getting them nothing, whilst 365 to the power of 1.01 gets them 387.18 and whilst that is merely a small inkling, when you do this to a dozen settings like tourism, commerce, manufacturing and defence spending the equation alters and it alters x times 25.12 in results and now it makes a difference especially as that 95% cup is only for making payments and that is what I was after. You come after my brethren and sisters in Canada and I will show you the meaning off a desolate nightmare where your own banks shut you down. And that is before you realise that your manufacturing jobs are fulfilled by another nation. So whilst you tax Pakistani textiles, I already put a solution in place where they could set their textiles in the golf states and the Commonwealth and you would think that this $1.81 billion market is nothing, but when this all goes to non_USA locations whilst the new directions also reduce the import from the USA, that setting is gains from a small splash to a small wave reducing the cup revenue even further and that is the larger gan for the others, because many are now saying “We need the United States a lot less now” and that is the ballgame, because as infrastructure decreases the old setting of Bread and games which we got from the Roman poet Juvenal in his Satires (Satire X) around the late 1st and early 2nd century AD and it reflects on a political strategy of distracting a population from civic issues by providing basic food and superficial entertainment, so when these settings fall away, the American population starts focussing on the civic issues that Washington doesn’t want out in the open (apparently the Epstein files for one) so the White House is seemingly fueling that setting right from the start and a lot more besides that. All stages are plays and the entire population of the United States are becoming vested in what they see as right, because someone in Washington DC took their infrastructure away.

A setting that could be seen without too much imagination, it merely took a few steps to put this out into the limelight and as I have time and no pressing matters, I was happy to lend Canada a hand in exploring that setting. And as I see it, my methods have set a reverberation in all this, the Yale Budget lab stated “After the Supreme Court threw out Mr. Trump’s original tariff policy, the average effective tariff rate on U.S. imports fell to 7 percent, from 14 percent, according to the Yale Budget Lab. The rate has since risen to 11 percent.” (Source: Alternet) So, if there is a setting the 95% minimum just got wasted by tariffs I don’t think that it went from 100 to 89 (aka pig latin statistics) but there was an impact and I was nice enough hand IP to USA tourism competitors and even if that is a mere 1%-2%, that is what the competitors get in addition and whist some will say 2% is nothing, but these small waves are now starting other add up to a decent wave and whilst I saw the impact that Canada tourists had on the United States, I decided to make it falter to a much bigger degree and whilst I had the EU, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi as alternatives, so as the Washington Examiner gives us ‘New York, Florida, Nevada see biggest drops in tourism as Canadians boycott the US’ what is the result when more nations are included in that boycott? The EU, Muslim populations are all looking towards the gulf states, pure losses in several degrees for the United States. It all ads up and created more and more powerful waves in that glass of water, so drip, drip, drip less water in that glass (a sneaky way to state Dividend Reinvestment Plan) and soon there isn’t enough to even fuel some Ponzi scheme and that is when the alerts will start ringing. And it is getting close to that now (as I personally see it). 

So as we see that gains are made in small steps, decreases are also in small step, but the United States has no leverage and not degrees of freedom to stop those splashes and it soon will be the last they ever saw and they could have averted that, they merely should have treated Canada decently and fairly, but not to fret, Canada will take over Washington State, Montana and Minnesota and call them the provinces of Skokomish, Cheyenne and Sioux Province and from there Canada will add more and more so whilst we might have ‘some misgivings’ about this current administration, it has a unique setting, it will be the first administration that made the United States a mere 47 states, but I reckon that they can get a commercial upside here, all those flags now need three stars less, as such they will get a massive new order, because some set the revenue to approximately 150 million American flags, I reckon that year they will triple that sales (if they have the textiles to make them). 

So whilst some will debate and judge my sense of humour, Trump started this with the 51st state jokes, I merely found an alternative way to set this in a new light. So have a great day all.

The outstanding question

That is where I man at present. And there is little evidence at present. Trump sycophants are hiding the truth from all of us. And we need to be careful, not for their sake, but for ours. When this comes to blow and it will, whatever we put in place now is going to be elementary in our survival ad I am not making some grand gesture or some empty veiled threat. This is due on us all. To set out survival in better terms The Commonwealth nations need to stand with Canada, it is a first setting and this might already be happening, but it is not an outspoken setting. The people need to know that we all stand with Canada. To set this in some reality you might understand. Some professor in Chicago stated “The United States is heading towards the greatest political defeat in Iran in history” he compared the setting in Iran towards the setting that Lyndon Johnson faced in Vietnam. The ramifications will be on all of us. But there is a way out. You see, when the Commonwealth nations, the EU and the gulf states combine forces we are decently isolated from the implosion that will come to the United States. I have said this before several time over the last decade. But this is not enough, there is a question that both the Commonwealth and the EU must entertain. A the EU is likely having to deal with Russian elements and Canada with the United States, we need extra insulation and it is my believe that China will be a strong insulator. Their technology and innovation will find its way (and to some degree already is to the Gulf States) but to ad the EU and the Commonwealth is a primary setting. So whilst the United States, Russia and Iran fight out what their best chances are, they can get to each others throats. I reckon that in this state Russia might now attack the United States as it needs a victory to hold over its people and the apple of the United States will be the sweetest victory, it is totally hollow but that is what it might take. 

So whilst the United States is burdened with $40,000,000,000,000 debt and an annual interest of over a trillion dollars, the United States will end up having less and less year after year and when the money is gone and when the social services it did have are depleted we will see a civil war erupt na dit will not be photographed by Kirsten Dunst. I reckon that the billionaires in the United States will evade towards Monaco and the UAE, but that is a mere presumption in this. These original captains of industry will walk away and optionally set their new headquarters in both the EU and the UAE. They all sever ties with the United States and will offer jobs in these two locations to the chosen few. At that point it will become a open shooting range Americans in Mexico and that wall was meant to keep people out, not in, so it will be a decent folly to see how that wall will matter. In the north, Canada will see an incursion of all kind of Americans and some will be granted access, but they will be few, the rest will end up fending for itself in the US of A. America was always heading for this, but as I see it President Trump escalated this by a lot. So, soon we will see the media taking a break from click baiting and giving us the real deal, but as I see it, it is already too late. So whilst Saudi Arabia and the UAE will see their media empires grown into the EU and Commonwealth more revenue will be lost to the USA. So whilst some give that there is a twinkle of hope, I actually do not see it. The American media was all about streaming membership and whilst some might have considered that, 2027 is when this ends and whilst these people would now thrown whatever it had to physical media (Disney, Amazon prime and to a lesser degree Netflix) there is a larger audience reacting that setting and there is an opening for the Streaming gulf states. This is a mere fraction, but the entire bill that is the United States is set towards fractions and whilst by themselves they seem small these fractions have intersections pulling others into this mess and overall it becomes a massive bill no longer being received from any of them. I used to say “Clusters are nice until they unite though other means”, it is a set of data and market research settings that only seemingly makes sense to people in that quarter. And we are about to see how that equates to real life (as I personally see it). So whilst I had an idea of what President Trump was aiming for when I sort of quoted “In confusion there is profit”, the opposing setting is that outspoken alliances are the way to stop this and as a Commonwealthian I say stand with Canada now, and outspoken so. Just as we took the voice to support Greenland. So as we show that we deny the United States anything they have no business in owning, we also reject the Russian grounds we see evolve and stand by the Ukraine in all this. With the Gulf States we are over 50% of the population and it stand to reason (for several reasons) to stand shoulder to shoulder with China, but that is a personal view I reckon that the Commonwealth and the EU needs to see where they go. Yet as I see it, China offers insulation for the USA and Russia all at the same time. So whilst the USA is getting chummy with North Korea, they will seen see that North Korea only cares for North Korea, as such the United States is likely to become a target for the newly grouped Russian puppets, but that is merely my view and I could be wrong. 

But overall, I have been right a whole lot more than I was wrong and I have over 4100 articles in this blog stating these views, I have corroborating evidence. 

So the outstanding question becomes where do you stand? I get that you might stand with the United States, just be clear on what that future has in mind and whilst more and more see that the ‘Golden age of AI’ is not coming any day soon, no matter what they say. You need to see where you might want to consider your path to personal happiness takes you, because that is still the number one setting we all adhere to. You see, that golden age comes with costs “The economic costs of artificial intelligence encompass massive infrastructure investments, soaring energy demands, and complex labor market shifts where running specialized AI agents can rival or exceed the cost of human work” and as I see it, the United States can no longer afford to foot that bill. So whilst we see “Microsoft projects global enterprise deployment figures to scale toward 1.3 billion agents” and now the small realistic setting, What happens when the power issues erupt? Because that is merely a year away and these agents cannot work without power and a person can mildly survive without a fan and a fridge. Did anyone consider that? So how many servers does it take to ‘fuel’ 1,300,000,000 AI agents? So when the brownout comes where does that revenue end? So as we see that localized power disruptions and blackouts affect tens of millions of Americans annually. What happens then? So, as the U.S. Census Bureau show that roughly 1 in 4 households gets a brownout every 12 months. What happens when your power requirements aren’t met? Wouldn’t a salesperson or a customer care person have been a better way? All these clustered settings and they meet in several ways and now the drop in revenue come very real and still, every year the over 1 trillion in interest payments are due. 

So you tell me, why didn’t the media give you this? Because there are plenty of people more clever than me, so why didn’t they inform you? I know of a few people who did, but I got there earlier. So, what stopped them? Have a great day all. I am on route to kill me a few Uruk Hai culprits this morning.

Valid questions

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great day today.

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?

Where’s the blame?

That is at times the question, is it Elon Musk, its version of Twitter, the ABC News, or the hacker? Personally I do not think that ABC is to blame, but they are connected to it all (they are the unwilling participant). So how did this get started? I got last night a tweet, it wasn’t the groundbreaking news I was looking for, but I needed a new idea (and I got one as you are reading) so I decided to click on it. (See image below)

So here we see a few ‘facts’ or basically news given that makes the mind curious about what is involved. I saw the ‘tweet’ with a reference to Amazon (it merely mentions that) and I do not show the on the list, so accept that. In the background was the Australian Parliament House, as such I got interested. And I got this image several times in the previous few hours (I only saw them later) but they were allegedly tweeted by @Amenenyo1, @greciaibarra528, @DriftyGar, @Lundstromm04, @MarcelWagenveld and @ezcxs I am not connected to any of them, as such they might be trolls, or spam/scam facilitators. 

Anyway it reflects towards this article from ABC news:

The article is speculatively used because it is a long article. I reckon that the scammers need time to get information from this who push the “A few minutes after yesterday’s release” article. The link goes to TR.EE, which is an Estonian address, but the article seems to reflect an address ‘ferrariracinglegends dot com’ (I used the letter to replace the character, so that you will not fall into that same setting) all this makes me think that ABS is the unwilling participant in all this. And the larger question becomes. Who is to blame? I might have fallen for that trap last week as well and I got a call from an internet phone with an IPv6 address (which I did not answer) and after that my phone gave no evidence it was called, there was no blocked call, there was no rejected call. No evidence that I was called at all. As such I am making a few assumptions and they are mine to make. But it is clear that whomever is getting into this is using more powerful tools and more agility in the internet workings all over the field. 

  1. What is Elon Musk (his Tweety setting) amounting to?
  2. Is social media to blame?
  3. Is the advertisement department to blame?
  4. How is this managed in X (formerly known as Twitter)?
  5. How is advertisement in X managed, controlled and monitored?

5 questions that are important. Because this is inhibiting what reliability X has left, when X becomes a plaything of scammers and phishers X is pretty much done for. 

So can we blame social media? It relies of propagation and influencers, and as such scammers are top tier influencers, you are basically the tool they will use to propagate their need for cash. This sound ominous, but that is what it amounts to.

So how are advertisements managed in X? That is the first real culprit, the fact that I had that advertisement any least 6 times in an hour, with 6 different addresses makes me thing that something is very wrong in this setting, especially as I am not connected to any of them. Yes I know that this could be replicated, but that evidence (which I do not have) makes the blame squarely on the advertisement department of X (as I personally see it). And as I see it, whomever manages the advertisement setting of X has some explaining to do (optionally to Elon Musk, who might be seeing a massive drop in credibility, at the max of $44,000,000,000 and he might not like what this is amounting to. Then we get to the control and monitoring of advertisements. Because this setting has references to Amazon and ABC News who are seemingly not part of this and they might be seeking legal council in all of this. 

So as you see, I have questions. I reckon I have answers too, but without clear evidence there is no way I can comment, but the questions remain and until they are resolved anyone clicking on an advertisement is setting himself up for a long fall. That is merely how I see it and I thought it ws important to spread this news as far as I could.

Have a great day you all.

From a deceptive mind

Yup, that’s me. I saw an article and the sneaky mind went to work. All because some words gave me ample reasons to do so. But lets start at the beginning. It all started with a story in the Microsoft Source Australia (at https://news.microsoft.com/source/asia/features/how-commonwealth-bank-and-microsoft-are-reimagining-the-future-of-customer-service/) where we see ‘How Commonwealth Bank and Microsoft are reimagining the future of customer service’ really? Reimagining? I get that Microsoft sees a blanket of opportunity, because as I see it, on a near global scale Technical Support and Customer Care will take dives and the need of clear quality is to be found nearly everywhere. But here is the kink in this cable. There already is a supplier. It is called NICE, an Israeli cloud supplier. I saw several options for Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I wrote about it in the story ‘Dominoes’ on December 4th 2023 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2023/12/04/dominoes/). I didn’t give the entire setting, but they were here first as such the solution ‘reimagined’ is not seen by me here.

So when I saw “Martin Lindsay had a bold vision to reimagine the Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s contact center architecture using an approach that did not yet exist. As Executive General Manager of Customer Service Direct at the banking group, Lindsay set out to bring together multiple legacy systems supporting voice, messaging and digital interactions into a single, AI-powered omni-channel platform. The goal was to create a more intuitive, conversational experience for customers, while supporting frontline teams with better tools to serve them.” I had to giggle, because that is basically what the NICE CX One platform does and in several other ways. As such is this an attempt to plagiarise an already excellent idea, or are these people making sure that the “The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) serves approximately 17 million retail, business, and institutional customers across the country, representing nearly two-thirds of the Australian population. Of this total, the bank has over 1 million business customers and 8.3 million digitally active users.” (Source: Oogly Googly Google) fall straight via Microsoft into the Cloud Act capturing settings of the United States of America? Yes, people seem to forget is trivialize that cloud act and someone needs to take a longer look at this. For example an optional pretentious Martin Lindsay who had his ideas close to 5 years after NICE did. Nice started in 1986 as Neptune Intelligence Computer Engineering and that’s evolved into the setting we see now. As such what is the setting of imagination at Microsoft? (optionally at the CBA too). And as I see it, it is an Israeli company, but NiCE is an American technology company specializing in customer relations management software (NiCE CXone), artificial intelligence, and digital and workforce engagement management. OK, as I see it the cloud act is not avoided, but the fact that some (read: Microsoft Source Australia) might want to peer their sugar coated story. So when we get to “The catalyst came in early 2024, when Lindsay partnered with leaders from Microsoft to co‑engineer the solution. The timing was driven by a rapid shift in customer expectations for instant, always-on support, while the bank’s existing virtual chatbot was being wound down.” One might have a Conspiracy Theorist mind (that would be me) seeing that I saw this a year before him, that he had an idea to take the idea from NiCE and give it a swirl and optionally he saw Microsoft as a partner in alleged crime. Alleged, because I have no idea how this went, but as we look at Nice (at www.nice.com) you can see how evolved that idea already is and as such why reinvent the wheel? I have my doubts on this idea. Especially as we can see a massively evolved system, it seems to go even further than when I saw it in 2023 (which makes sense). So as I see that setting I also see “We wanted to work with Microsoft to shape their products and deliver a platform aligned to our future strategy. We knew that meant working with Microsoft as a co-creator in our vision from day one.” But I read it as “We needed a Microsoft tainted solution where I get the credit, the commission and I call Microsoft a ‘co-creator’ so that I can get my coins”, so am I pushing the conspiracy theory setting? I might be, but this is how business is done in this modern age. Because if NiCe was rejected, the story would be “We saw a solution that didn’t match with our vision, so we talked to Microsoft and see if they would help us out” and at this point you see the consultancy solution that NiCE could offer and was rejected for a much bigger bill.

Apart from that there is nothing. As I see it, the world will have a massive Technical support and Customer Care issue from 2027 onwards. As people are fired all over the place they can hire people with a telephone voice and a good setting towards data entry, both are essential in these fields. But what do I know, I have merely be set into the Technical Support world and Customer Care world since 1992. So I know a few things, which is also why I saw the essential needed setting of NiCE. 

The rest of the story was too self adoring for me to adhere to, as people see that Customer Care has a low tolerance for failure, It is essentially humorous to see that Microsoft is clearly not using their own solution. Why? Perhaps Clippy objected? That Is a mere speculation on the matter and even in this case speculations tend to matter, because the idea is seemingly nice and merely seemingly because someone else saw that sight first and as I see it, the CBA never seemingly saw it as they went shopping at Microsoft. But what do I know? 

Have a great day you all, time for some coffee.

The next stretch

In continuation of yesterday’s story, it is time to die you the next part. There is no news. As I personally see it, the news has become a much larger soapbox for big business and politicians. As such I can weave my own yarns and likely more entertaining. So where was I? I ended yesterday with 

“His mind felt around the direction where the pulse was from. He was feeling something, but he had not felt this in centuries. It was time to find what was happening.”

The sensation was coming from the north north east, far beyond Ad Durar Street. He walked towards Yas Mall and decided to walk into IKEA. He walked into the restaurant and ordered the Salmon Teriyaki with Mango salsa, sparkling mineral water and a large coffee. He put 4 notes of 20 dirham in the hands of the lady and got some coins back. He needed and sat at a table by the window. There was not anything owe could do, but now he had a better feel of what was happening and the mall was not in the way of any interrupting feelings. He concentrated and viewed the people with his other sight. There was nothing out of the ordinary of anyone he could see, whatever this was, it would have a dark aura, optionally bordering on black. With every bite and sip he took, he was looking to the people in the back, even there, there was nothing to show him what was the cause. The weird thing what that he had not felt this feeling in over 15 centuries.  And this kind of power does not usually hide. It was more common in the 5th century when the Jinn were a lot more common than they are now. But they might be hiding in the folds of safety. Still. He had not felt this way for a long time and if there is a new player in town, he had to know. 

By the end of the meal, he had another blip, it felt like to was around Noya Luma. As such he decided to walk there. It took him around 45 minutes. He was taking his time to scan and see the people he did notice. It was more of a community, so the people were weary of him, they had not seen him before and after a while a person walked up to him and said “hal yumkinuk musaeadati min fadlika?” Apparently the man needed help. He nodded and followed him, his mind saw that there was no one to see and no cameras. The man wielded a knife and pointed it at him “Your money, now” He saw this coming a mile away and he smirked, the man pushed the knife towards his chest and he grabbed the hand holding the knife with his left hand, his right hand went around the neck of the man. His concentration told him that he was out of sight in every way. He felt the ring on his right hand. And he squeezed a little more and the next second the man was turning to ash, the power of his strength had evolved over the centuries, as such he was very blessed to turn this man to ash, even the bones dissolved, the calcium lost its coherence on the spot and he went away in a cloud of ash, the ash fell to the ground, but he knew that the smallest breeze and some water would be all that was needed to remove whatever evidence ever existed. He saw a few items, which he left where they were. The knife he would cast in some trashcan the first moment he found one. He continued on his route and when he arrived, he saw nothing of worthy, but he noticed a Starbuck sign and decided to sit down, have a sandwich and more coffee and feel the surroundings. 

When he got his coffee with a dynamite chicken sandwich and sat down, he could relax for now and feel what more could be coming his way. He was sitting for at least an hour when he felt the air change. It was what he expected, it seemed to be a jinn, but not a normal one. Darker and a lot more dangerous than he had ever seen. He saw none of the people that gave the vibe, but then he saw it, the aura was none existent, a weird setting, but it made sense now. It was not a Jinn at all, it was an afreet and not a normal one. He was seemingly a lot stronger than anything anyone in his larger family had ever faced. As such, he was not going to approach it now. He watched the man and saw the man was fitting in, not wanting to stand out. He liked that, because an afreet is normally full of chaos and destruction. This one was different, but he was not taking any chances. He then felt a larger different pulse, not anything he had ever felt, it felt Egyptian in origin, but he had no idea who it was, merely that it was massively old, older than he had ever felt. Optionally older than his grandfather, which was the weirdest of feelings. His grandfather was here before mankind was, so if it was older. What was it?

He binned his trash and walked back. Time to get back to the hotel, but the idea of getting food at that Rainforest cafe. The lamb mandi meal radiated with appeal and he was getting hungry. He was walking towards the Mall when he suddenly felt weird, his senses alerted him and he felt the afreet right behind him. No-one had approached him unfelt for centuries. He stopped and turned around. The man looked at him. Who are you? He asked. I go by the name Lavrinthi. And you? Let me introduce my self. I am Al-Malik al-Aswad, I am also known as the black king. I noticed you Olympian, but you are not really Olympian, are you? There is something different about you. Lavrinthi looked at the man. The other filing was not you, was it. Lavrinthi shook his head. I seems Egyptian, but I never felt anything like that before. The man nodded. I will let you leave now, the afreet turned around and walked away. Lavrinthi looked at the afreet walking of and went towards the Mall. Time for some diner and time to consider what he had experienced. He considered his options and decided to take another path. He decided to see if the afreet would approach him, or if he would keep his distance. After his meal he stopped at a coffee place and had another coffee. Time to get back to that Warner Brothers hotel, he was so looking forward to the breakfast they serve, but that will come after the night he has coming and it would be time to erect a very different kind of protection, because he had not experience anxiousness in many centuries and getting approached unseen was a really new experience for him.

What happens next? See another day, the next installment might come in the next few days.

Well this part is also for ADTV (or its parent Abu Dhabi Media). Perhaps they like it, perhaps not. I am getting my creative soul fed and that is good for me, a lot better than weeding out BS from optional BS, which is how I see a lot of the media exposure. And when the Financial times is giving us ‘Trump administration asks OpenAI to stagger release of new model to vet users’ as well as ‘Trump administration allows some access to Anthropic’s Mythos’, so whilst some people are considering that “Unease over Washington’s ad hoc regulatory approach remains.” And in all that time no one is considering that it opens up the European markets for DeepSeek and whether the next part is real ‘Microsoft Now Wants Users To Adopt Chinese DeepSeek AI After Failure Of Copilot’ (source: Channel News) is unknown, but that is opening a few Chinese walk ins into the west. The status? I have no idea, I honestly don’t. But some are saying that the race between China and the western AI markets are much harder to see and I get it, but what happens to that famous ‘Big Beautiful Stargate’? Consider that this is a $500 billion market being poured in a second or third placement and as I see it (and written about several times) set for a non-existing AI, or as I prefer to call it a fake AI. So we see a massive public-private AI infrastructure venture aiming to invest up to US$500 billion to build the world’s most powerful AI data centers and Europe and optionally the Commonwealth as well are setting up Chinese walls (a happy coincidence expression) against United States data centers. So, investing that much in data centers that are keeping track of a population of 349 members of the United States? I very much doubt that and I reckon that these centers will be avoided by China and several others as well. Did anyone consider what happened to the $500 billion? Just a questions to ask. 

Have a great day.

Great idea from Canada

So here I was (this morning) watching a vlog by the famous Canadian vlogger Johny Strides. This time he was vlogging about the Do West Fest festival and he showed it on the camera, so 19 minutes into that walk I saw something I had not seen before. It might make for a good setting for Australia, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia to name only three. I think this could be a massive hit with these three and I have no ever seen this. Not on any walkthrough. 

So consider the Formula one races in Abu Dhabi in December and Boulevard Riyadh City & Boulevard World in Riyadh. We can tell people to take of themselves, or we could set 2 of these trailers at the beginning and end of these locations. Each of these trailers have 10 bottle fillers (5 per side) and 10 taps for water (also 5 per side), the information can be found (at https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/water-environment/tap-water-in-toronto/request-an-hto-to-go-water-trailer/) where we see that these are managed by the city of Toronto, with the following settings:

  • stainless steel troughs on each side
  • 10 drinking water taps (five on each side)
  • 10 taps to fill water bottles (five on each side)
  • step stools and cups, if needed
  • water bowls for pets
  • information booth featuring Toronto Water programs and services

Now, not all these items might have appeared for the intended city council, but the idea is great and I think that both the UAE and Saudi Arabia could set this up making their tourism more and more appealing. The idea that a person could find a rehydration point that is free (I know that Dubai has many all over the city) but to add 1-2 of these trailers at events, might be the ticket for more tourists for them and it might take another turn for the businesses that might want to show their appeal, without having to go several rounds of drink stands. I have nothing against those stands, but to offer another setting is always good. So, Johnny Strides video was (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoNajkErOgc) which should be a nice look at a festival in Toronto and his videos are always a good view on Toronto.

No matter how you slice it, Toronto (I am assuming it was their idea) has something more to offer the world and I reckon that several nations might be interested in this. 

Have a great day. I am off to see the F1 races in Monaco, I can already here the roar of the engines. Yay to YouTube for this.

The brain jostles

That happens, in my mind there is an eternal struggle for dominance (not in a bad way) but the back of the mind saw something and it is trying to work it out, whilst me, myself and I are also in need of that grey matter. The back of the mind saw a DARPA challenge of ‘Triage Challenge (DTC)’ with the subtext “Transforming how medical responders triage in mass casualty incidents by advancing scalable, timely, and accurate tools.” But the brain (mr Grey) saw that the bottlenecks is not a setting of operation, it is one of adherence. It doesn’t make sense. But consider that a nation has 15 million people and they all trusted Microsoft (there’s a thought) , but as they trusted AI (for whatever reason) and now we have 15 million unresponsive people. So, Mr Grey decided that the setting is not that you need to get to people, you need a solution that can be deployed at any place in that nation and from there the settings come calling. So Mr. Grey decided to employ a call centre and treat every person like it is part of a call centre. Confused? I thought you were, I was too. But consider that you have two stacks one with medical personnel and one not. The call centre setting makes every doctor important and that is the call. So whilst you have a doze doctors making calls and only a higher doctor can overrule a lower doctor, but then you get a new call centre where the pool comes from Nurses-Doctors-specialists and you refrain from bottlenecks you get a new kind of triage. So stop getting a dozen beds because you only have a dozen doctors, you get 60 beds because all the medical staff can determine casualties and disregard initial low calls, these low calls are not dismissed, but the pressure to get the important casualties are not restricted to these 12 beds. What does happen is that this call centre approach needs to work differently and that takes a logistical side, A new medical call centre approach so whilst we are given that there is a new consideration. So out of hand, consider that a hospital has a dozen forms, but instead of dispersing these forms, each doctor has all the forms, they are collecting an storing information and they print out a QCode, which has all the information and is attached to the person (like a Pandora chain on the wrist) and when there is more than one QCode charm, higher people look at this what might be required. And as this is all read on the spot, all whilst the tablets read and collect everything now, the equation changes. This allows for mass collection and triage abilities to move forward. It requires a great deal of discipline, but those in triage tend to have an abundance of those, but as I see it, triage tends to rot; l with the punch and the overlay of suddenly thousands of people needing access to triage makes for a weird situation, as such my brain works out in seconds that this requires a different approach, so whilst some need more nurses, we get the setting that 50 nurses record what needs to be and every doctor has its own nurse making judgement calls on people part of this was seen in Pearl Harbor (the movie) and they worked with what they had, but now we have and can deploy QCodes in seconds, so the track of the bottle neck changes and as these QCodes are deployed, people can be moved to a better site for treatment rather quickly. From there we get. New setting that power is less of an urgency and if these tablets have replaceable batteries, the downtime becomes very low and these batteries can be charged in a hospital and one box could contain 50 batteries, resetting the bulk of all tablets in seconds and DML allows for a much faster deployment of forms and most technology is already there to scan these forms and make them digital. No we merely need to traverse this setting to a QCode answer and the triage setting is near complete. You might have to add forms as one setting (like Pearl harbour) is not the same as another (Esso Chemical Rotterdam), they all have there own settings, but burn forms, respiratory forms and blood form have a near global setting, Doctors tend to have the same global talk and their writings all lead to a free ticket to a museum (small joke). So that was what Mr. Grey figured out in less then a minute. 

I was still in play mode and whilst I am not surprised that Sony tends to overwhelm any person who enjoys gaming, I still was blown away with what Sony produced in its state of play. You see I like racing of a kind and perhaps I was a little attached to the settings that Sony gave us with Grand Turismo (1-4) and Need for Speed underground (GameCube) or Project Gotham Racing (Xbox360), but today Sony blow the cover out of all of them with Stuntman Hollywood. A racing challenge with a difference. It looks good, but will it play awesome? Time will tell, but I didn’t see that one coming, so I got my wow factor. And as icing on the cake there was God of War Laufey, new character, new gameplay and new graphics. Everything a growing player needs for his or her diet. Still as I got the joules from my grey cells, mr Grey decided to consider a few more options in the situation he obviously is seeing as resolved. The QCodes go on a chain and the chain is also a data carrier and goes around the neck of the patient. The qcodes are added to that chain, but as I see it, the chain copies all the qcodes that are added and that chain might also collect physical setting, like an elongated smart ring. And it can all connect to the tablet of the doctor who is then getting additional knowledge and give the chain a code that gives it a colour. All setting a new conditional setting to triage and when triage is given in a remote location it merely enhances the information the doctor has access to. Where the qcode was added, where the person has been and from there we get a new kind of triage, because triage comes from the 1700s by Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey, the chief surgeon for Napoleon’s army. He started to sort the wounded, but we now have sort abilities that do not need a doctor, a nurse might do and even then there are some parts that need no medical staff, it merely needs to be recorded (hence the smart chain) and as the QCodes are added, the picture becomes more and more complete. Some need to get more tests, but if you consider that the goal is to reduce the severity of the wounded, we could walk a different path, a new path, not disregarding what we have, but what we can do. And battlefield triage is a lot dependent on what there is. So if we can find the category 1 people and reduce these to level 2, we are already winning. So consider we have:

Level 1: Resuscitation (Immediate)
Level 2: Emergency (<10 minutes)
Level 3: Urgent (<30 minutes)
Level 4: Semi-Urgent (<60 minutes)
Level 5: Non-Urgent (<120 minutes)

And from there we get to save them all (just like a Pokemon game), so the smart chain and the QCodes could enable that path, all whilst the doctors look at treating the level 2’s whilst looking for the level 1’s, a setting that comes through new logistics and automation (I refuse to call it AI), because DML will help here, will it be enough? That is for a doctor to decide. 

My ego is happy that I met another challenge by DARPA and one that is good for the medical sector, my ego is doing just fine. I wonder what my brain will mostly for tomorrow, time to get some steps in. Have a great day all.

Skins

That was the thought that was invading my mind and for the biggest part it came from an app known as WinAmp. The current generation might not know what I am referring to, but their mommies and daddies know exactly what I mean.

You see, the world has forgotten the medium of long term marketing. And it saddens the brain. Creativity starts by shedding this to all the brains it can entice. And we seemingly have forgotten that. Consider that the TV goes on and the same settings are given to everyone. But there Is nothing stopping you from adding that to your TV or digital medium player. Have library that could be added to your TV or even PS5, a skin where we see the addition to your Netflix, Disney+ or Hulu app that gives it a little spice. A setting where the creative person turns the Netflix logo into a Cauldron and we see the books appear, where the books are movies and soundtracks. The Disney+ logo where the image of the Mandalorian comes alive and we see items that are movies, but refer to items seen in that series (never saw the Mandalorian) and the idea is not even merely  being scratched. You name it and it is likely to have a fanbase of millions. 

We can go into any venture from that and the brands themselves might shed ways into that setting. Whether it is Sony, Coca Cola, Steam Deck, Disney, Harry Potter or any other brand that speaks to the mind of others. 

Now consider that you are a brand bitch (like me) and you see your Sony environment, but when you also have your PS5, you might wonder why everything is so clearly cut and whilst the PS5 invites creativity, so does the Nintendo and I see a flaw here. They might have their own boundaries, but there is nothing stopping from a Switch (or PlayStation) to invade the borders of the TV and make over what people do there. As I see it, I would my Switch to take over the TV and set its boundaries there, so whilst we see Pikmins all over the screen of my TV, others might realise that some PikMins have familiar titles and as such, we might see games on that screen, games that we currently and almost forever have been playing. It might be the icon of a game box, the con of a hero (like Luigi) or the dreaded Bowser on his kart. All images we and others relate to the game we love to play. And on top we see the icons that relate to our needed setting like a D+ logo that gives us the Disney look and from there the iconic series that they have invade the screen. The better part is that the kids will relate to this instantly and it gives them an edge in creativity. The same could be said for the PS4/PS5, Netflix, or Hulu groups. Something got lost over the last 15 years and it saddens me, because for amount I thought it made sense and that I the sad part. We are so drawn to making achievements in games that we are forgetting the image to play. Someone once said that the more complex the end becomes the more enticing the image of play gets to be. And they were seemingly right. 

A setting is getting lost in the wiring and it should sadden us all. And the Australian Financial Review is giving us ‘Jamie Dimon is counting the straws that will break the market’s back’ which comes with “JPMorgan’s chief executive can see a long string of growing risks, from geopolitics to private credit. Will that be enough to burst the market’s optimism?” And he came to me last night in a dream handing me 4 billion for my IP (it was a lovely dream) but here he is right on his turf but it is also the setting of a larger play. He sees a “a long string of growing risks”, yet I see a string of losing strings of creativity that will hold us down, because those who turn away from creativity are lost forever to a sea of demands and the turmoil of loss and that deeply saddens me. Simply because if we become pawns of the populist voices, we are actually doomed to make mistake after mistake and we need to see now that there are more ways. This all adds up to President Trump saying (according to the Guardian) “Donald Trump said he was “not at all” concerned about committing possible war crimes as he again threatened to destroy Iran’s bridges and power plants”, but in this setting he defies his real fears, the first time is the use of ‘possible’ and the second setting was that he said it at all. He is really scared that he will be put in the Hague in the accusers box facing the consequence of his illegal war. I reckon he is counting on the world being to broke when America folds its finances and he would be wrong. There are dozens of people who are actually innocent and used the Black letter law to the extent they could and President Trump is the one who stopped the game from continuing. I reckon that the one place where President Trump might be save is as a new inmate of Lefortovo Prison or Lubyanka Prison. Anywhere else he is likely to be toast. So there is no easy escape to the Bahama’s or Monaco for him. Too many people there will blame him for their easy escape and they will hold him to account. And there isn’t enough ammunition to keep him safe in the United States. 

So that is where I am and the people who needs distractions are being withheld a simple setting where their creativity is fed, not their frustrations and rage. And my mind is grabbing back to the simple setting of Winamp controls or the theme settings that Microsoft opened in 1995. Who did not have a whole range of themes to brighten up their Windows experience? That is seemingly lost now in a sea of patches and Knowledge Base (KB) numbers. So who gave the world the outlets of creativity? Adobe?

So have a great day and consider where we might be when our need for creativity is fed in all sorts of ways. Time for dinner now.
