Off topic

There was an advertisement I saw (I think it was in LinkedIn) and it grabbed me to some extent. It was an advertisement to get a job at Claude walking of kids shows. It was an idea that has merit and more over, the implications. Could be a lot further than a kid show (but you have to start somewhere) Now I have said over and over aging that ll AI is fake. But most of these graphical fake AI are working on the premise of DML (Deeper Machine Learning) and at times in conjunction with LLM (Large Language Models) it does not make it AI (or even Fake AI) but it becomes a tool with applications and a growing setting of traction. I softly spoke of it in ‘Fat of the meat’ two days ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/11/02/fat-of-the-meat/) moreover, I thought it might give my scripts a new life as such it goes beyond kids shows. And the application could go towards Saudi Arabia and the UAE as these productions could be made in local languages. Or with subtitles. Another setting that could spell life for some scripts. At present I have two ready and the working setting to two more. As such I would contemplate this (if it could work on a MAC) a whole range of traction that Claude could gain. They seem to be heading in that direction anyway and when these scripts are absent of a lot of production costs, the setting increases, because when a production has a lack of overhead, there are a lot more people easily swayed to give it a chance. I am not hijacking away actors, not special effects as they script was at first rejected. But I also see that there are thousands of rejected scripts. Some might be actually good and now a new terrain (optionally with Oscars) is created. As such, why am I (likely the only one) considering this? Perhaps the makers of Claude are already on that page, they merely lack the settings to make it work.

As I see it, it is also a setting that takes Hollywood away from that equation, and as such studios in Canada, the EU, the Commonwealth and the Arabian peninsula could seek such a solution. There is a field and it is (as far as I can tell) rejected in favor of short term ideas. The idea is however a field that has a larger implementation in TV, Shows and all kinds of directions, from Music Clips and short term videos. All directions that could benefit from those direction. And that is even before we get to the adult entertainment, because there are options there too. All directions that could bring a possibility of revenue, and isn’t that the golden standard in any business? And from there we get the added benefit that it could be remade in any other language almost instantly. And make no mistake, I am talking into my own directions. Because some might ‘worry’ of a script that scares the Jiminy Cricket out of Anne Keast-Butler (GCHQ), John Ratcliffe (CIA) and General Joshua M. Rudd (NSA) but these ‘actors’ are in the clear when they are made with Claude. It opens up a whole range of ideas and ‘shortcuts’ And there is a benefit. As the library of locations are added, the end cost goes down and we could get the three ‘leaders’ digitized and change some facial features that they do not look alike (whilst everyone knows who we are talking about) and as far as I can tell there is a lot more surfacing soon enough. There was my script on ‘How to assassinate a politician’ it has the secondary title ‘Essay’ which played in Dammam (Saudi Arabia), Amsterdam and the Hague (Netherlands) now consider these costs of that series and if Claude could manage it ‘lifelike’ enough, how much costs will it be then? And that is how new studios are created in new ways, because several corporations just dumped thousands of IT people, all ready to learn new skills. Then there is ‘Information Overload’, a simple attempt to give the ‘rulers’ of the CIA, NSA, GCHQ and the DGSE a new for of nightmare (you can’t blame me for that) but that gives us two stories that have merit towards that setting and I reckon that Hollywood have thousands of scripts that never saw the daylight, but now there is a new revenue stream and as too many people respect money above ethics, I think that we have a new playing field and those who enter first have the best chance to make a decent penny (read: Dollar, Pound, or Euro) I reckon that there is a lot of Swedish appeal to make a new Pippi Longstocking, in Swedish no less and if that appeals several other languages would come forward.

So think of this as Off Topic, because the midterms in the USA are too boring, not for the Democrats, but this was the only outcome that would have made sense and for now they will need over a decade to clean up the mess that was left behind and they are doing it without allies, that part was taken care of by the present administration. So, I look at other ways to set revenue towards nicer shores and this administration of the United States that any shore is nicer than the shores of the United States and as I see it, there are options for Canadian movie makers as well.

So have a great day and consider where you might find another path to revenue.

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.

Not the 7 dwarves

So, Mining (dot com dot AU) give us a few hours ago that ‘Canada-UAE pact broadens critical minerals access’, as such that is good news for Canada and optionally making the employment  lines reasonably shorter. But the working together between Canada and the UAE also means that (according to France Pinzon) “The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), signed on 27 October, will eliminate or reduce tariffs on more than 99% of current Canadian exports to the UAE. It is also intended to address non-tariff barriers and establish more predictable trade and investment conditions. The agreement is expected to enter into force in 2027, subject to the countries completing their respective approval processes” it is just another setting where the world is giving a clear signal that in these matters the United States is no longer a party of interest to them and Canada is playing right not these settings for the people of Canada (aka Canadians) but it goes deeper. Canada has its ire minerals and the UAE just got a real deal whilst ‘some’ (we will not go into who) has its own tariff tables and Canada is giving the UAE a deal where Canadian are mostly nullified and in some cases severely reduced. This opens up all kinds of investments for the UAE. And in that trend we see that “The UAE has also committed to invest up to US$50 billion ($71 billion) in Canada across industries including mining, energy, and AI, according to Reuters. The agreement forms part of Canada’s broader push to expand its critical-minerals relationships in the Middle East. In July, Canada and Saudi Arabia announced more than C$1 billion ($1.08 billion) in commercial agreements spanning mining and other sectors, as reported by Mining.com.au.” As such, the message is clear. No matter how some are advertising their place as a big beautiful country, others see this differently and seek deals elsewhere, which was the only thing that PM Mark Carney needed to hear and this is a near fact now (and the ink of the agreement is still drying). And as we are being told “The UAE agreement builds on an investment protection pact that entered into force in May and an earlier commitment to pursue cooperation across responsible critical-minerals value chains”, which, as I see it makes perfect sense and in light of the projects that the UAE is developing (an example is Abu Dhabi where it is developing a $1.4 billion lithium-processing facility and driving demand for high-performance materials like neodymium oxide and dysprosium oxide to support aerospace, electric mobility, and clean energy under Operation 300bn.) so there would be space for Canadian miners and engineers to be deployed in the near future, as such (as noted by the BBC) “Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s economic platform focuses on reducing reliance on U.S. trade, fast-tracking major infrastructure projects, and reforming domestic industries”, so whilst we were given 9 hours ago ‘Building Canada Strong for the Next Ten Years’, it seems that Prime Minister Carney didn’t waste a second on that and this setting alone could be the start of the aforementioned “The UAE has also committed to invest up to US$50 billion ($71 billion) in Canada across industries including mining, energy, and AI, according to Reuters.”

So unlike that politician in the United States who makes claims (like defeating Iran 60 times), the

Canadian Prime minister is showing results and as I see it, this deal is as important for Canada as it is for the UAE. A real partnership (as I see it), a true Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. I wonder what will happen next, because this is showing a real promise in the EU, the Commonwealth and China and there is no way these places will let this slide by without giving it the attention it deserves. Because that shows the increased enablement of Abu Dhabi and that will show its economic benefits a few times over. Its like ringing the bell saying, we have a larger ability to work, play and live and that is a very enticing prospect for anyone looking for a job. And personally I wonder why (better state ‘if’) Australia is making gains on a partnership in this with PM Mark Carney, because I am Australian and it would make sense for the Commonwealth to work together on these projects. Not that Canada has any commitment other than the Canadian people. The idea that there is a second tier in this, keeping more away from the United States tends to make sense of this. But the is merely my thoughts on the matter.

No matter what happens, as I see it Canada has this win squarely in its hands and we should cheer for our Canadian brethren (but that might merely be me). Have yourself a wonderful day today.

An optional second reason?

That was the first thing that came to mind, not in opposition or in criticism bc cause you get those people as well. No, the idea to see ‘Saudi Arabia announces first batch of hospitality investment projects worth $1.78bn’ (at https://www.arabnews.com/tourism-transport/saudi-arabia-announces-first-batch-of-hospitality-investment-projects-worth-178bn-3007297) is decent enough, but my mind kept on wondering, what if there was a second reason? Consider that the unknown and language are the first setting. So what if these places had for example 10 settings each to do more? So, whilst we are given

And that is fine, but what if there was an additional push? So 50 places for additional settings, like jobs in Aramco. At present it is trying to look for any number of places and for the most in Multiple rounds of interviews (online or in-person at regional hubs like Houston, London, or Singapore. This sounds nice, but the world is seeking jobs and for the most the idea of a job in Saudi Arabia is met with question marks. So what if these people get a placement offer and it comes with language skills, introduction into Saudi life? In two-three weeks they get  language setting and an introduction into local life at Aramco? It comes with a contract that if they do not want to do this, they are barred from similar places in the gulf states, just to make it fair all around. And there might be an appeal for miners from Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Finland, Greece, Portugal, and Spain. You could open offices in all these places, or you could invite those with a decently good resume to come stay in Saud Arabia lowering the hurdle somewhat. And the nice part in all this is the setting that these ‘volunteers’ might attract friends with mining experience as well. So before you know it these 50 roles might even attract 150 to 200 more volunteers. This seems a win/win setting for Saudi Arabia. As I see it, this system could also be employed by ADNOC (UAE) as they have similar and even higher needs to fill the shoes of job openings. I have no side how either are setting there mark, but there might be a call to fill both locations with jobs. And with a lower hurdle, there will be plenty of people to take in the sounds and scenes of these two places. An altered job interview might root out those looking for an actual job and those trying to find a cheap holiday. And as the UAE is ‘sporting’ the setting of hospitality market offers thousands of active positions across hotels, resorts, restaurants, and event companies, concentrated primarily in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.  It could lead to several positions being filled the moment they are seen by these foreign ‘tourists’ which would also give clearance for a pool of linguistics all over the UAE.

Two locations that could benefit from this now so standard hiring practice and there is an offset. They pay for the vacation and depending on their results they get a full refund, as such there is the optional filter to weed out the freeloaders. I am aware that my plan has its flaws and weaknesses, but how had considered the path to find people? I get the idea not too many has looked into that direction. So have a great day and try the following: “قهوة واحدة من فضلك، على ألا تكون حلوة جداً.” (I surely hope Google Translate didn’t make a mess of that line. And in two weeks you might even know more Arabic or optionally Emirati Arabica (I have no idea how close Arabic and Emirati Arabic is) but these students will be able to tell soon enough.

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.

Where the dogs sleep

That is a setting that might be true to the stage and to the setting, but are the settings pointing this out? That is the stage as I see it, but am I right? If you think you are a critical thinker, that should be a top-of-mind situation. So whilst we see ‘Saudi Arabia intercepts wave of Houthi missiles as oil climbs to one-week high’ and we are given “The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said the missiles were aimed at Taif and the Yanbu area on the Red Sea, the main alternative route for Saudi oil” we need to see that this comes at the same time as “Oil prices climbed about 3%, but trade was volatile and prices came off session highs after reports the US and Iran discussed reopening the strait of Hormuz.” And it gives me a thought. Are the Houthis nothing more than the cheap harlots of Iran? The second thought that is coming to me is “How are the Houthis supplied?” And yes we might point the finger at Hezbollah, but that would be too easy. Iran will do what it can to lessen stress on their own smugglers, but at the same time we take notice of “While claiming that their blockade only applies to Saudi shipping and there remains no threat to commercial shipping on the Red Sea, the Houthis have also warned other nations not to get involved.” A clear signal to the UK to not get involved. And I have had it with these terrorists. A signal needs to be given and I believe that a union between China and the EU might be essential for this, with a clear setting. Iran can sell its oil to China (at a discount) but if they do not seize their actions the hint for the three terrorist organisations (Houthi, Hezbollah and Hamas) will open in earnest and we will give any intelligence to stomp these terrorists down with the help of Mossad. And the second thing we do is to utterly destroy 10 refineries in Iran so they are left with one exploit, selling their raw oil to China and if they are left with this one option, Iran doesn’t get to set the price, China does. I feel perfectly fine testing my new IP on Bandar Abbas, its harbours and the railroads. This is what true horror looks like, not some orange person threatening, but a nameless civil person actually destroying what they hold dear. That is what true horror implies. It is not the one boasting, it is the silent person in a corner taking out whatever you desire. 

So, is that a clear message?
As I see it, too much media is holding out for that scrappy bit of paper, holding out for revenue, but news is not revenue, it is in part art in part deciding the best way to bring the new, not bring it in a setting that makes the most money and it is like that in gaming. The BI people in gaming do what THEY see as the most profitable setting and then they get influencers to state that hoping they can get enough gamers around to THEIR way of thinking, but gamers are like inventors, we see a niche and we use that to set a new chart, a new course and we go with this and I am in support of Saudi Arabia, I do what will solve their issues, not the issues of a broke United States, a needy Houthi Terrorist or a desperate Iran (and its IRGC). And as we see “Riyadh’s foreign ministry said on Friday that Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan would hold an urgent meeting of their chiefs of staff ‌to ‌discuss ways to ‌support repel the Houthi attacks under their joint ‌defence agreement. Under the defence pact, all three countries agreed that an armed attack on any one of them would be treated as an attack on all three. Officials in Pakistan are said to be deeply worried about being dragged into the never-ending war unfolding across the Middle East.” As I see it Pakistan hopped for some free publicity not seeing what Iran was up to and there is no never-ending war, just destroy Iran and the others fall back into place, they fear doing this alone and the hardware from Iran has been helping them, take that away and their lust for need and greed falls away quite fast. In that setting the United States could have helped by destroying any Iranian ships hading into the Gulf of Aden and searching every other vessel on that course. I reckon that an observation post on Socotra might assist in this. It would also fuel the setting if Eritrea is as innocent as it proclaims because there is still the thought that Houthis might pay top dollar on anything coming from the Sudan and whilst some players might divert 20% from the Sudan to pay for the 80% heading there, it is in my eyes simple presumption and I react to evidence, not to speculative thoughts. And wasn’t it Gibbs (NCIS) that told us ‘Trust but verify’, I knew this decades before that series launched, but it is never a bad thing to reassess early thoughts there might have been in the mix.

So whilst the international community might react to “Yemen’s internationally recognised government pressed world leaders on Thursday for help defeating the militants, saying that their new perch along one of the world’s busiest waterways presents an international economic risk.” But as I see it 95% of the pain that Yemen is experiencing comes from Iran and whilst we are ‘given’ “Iran is currently facing severe, compounding internal pressures driven by an acute economic collapse, historic political transitions, and escalating public unrest. Following the massive disruptions of the 2026 military conflict with the U.S. and Israel, including the assassination of long-time Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the ruling establishment is struggling to maintain domestic control amid an unprecedented erosion of its legitimacy” and there is another option there. China could influence that setting by installing a China based Iranian government. The world will see a decrease in escalations, the Gulf States will allow for this as the attack on them will seize (Qatar might not like this), but the rest will and whilst China gets the oil there it will look better for China in a whole range of ways. In this setting China gets an optional voice n OPEC (and OPEC plus) all whilst the attack stop on Saudi Arabia and the UAE, so they are likely happy and with Houthi no longer getting supplies from Iran there is another release of pressures on Saudi Arabia. As I see it the population of Iran might like this too, as the old political powerpoint are removed, the people of Iran could actually work on THEIR future. 

I tend to see only upsides in this and whilst there are likely negative sides, they might not be seen as significant as the other pressure points fall away. 

Look at me, I created a viable solution toward overthrowing the current Iranian government. I am feeling kinda proud of that. 

So, you can think what you want (and be massively against my ideas), but look at the price of fuel, what caused this? (Disregarding the orange peril to the world) and it might also fuel the solutions in Hamas and Hezbollah, because when they no longer get access to weapons and funds, they will be on their last moments of existence. You see, you might think that you know where the dogs sleep, but the danger isn’t that, it is what happens when eve one wakes up. Its ‘yap’ wakes up the others and that is where the problems start.  A simple setting that von Clausewitz gave us (I tend to prefer Sun Tzu in most matters) “Non-state militant groups do not engage in violence for random chaos or pure financial gain; rather, they use fear, intimidation, and coercion to pursue distinct political, social, or religious goals. In a grim Clausewitzian sense, their violence is an instrument of policy aimed at compelling an opponent to submit to their will” as I see it, Iran is the instigator relying on fear, intimidation, and coercion to pursue its desperation. Take that away and the rest falls into place. And it is my believe that Iranians under China might get a lot better then what it is now and that could spell internet support for that new setting as well.  Feel free to call me a stupid optimist, but I tend to look at these settings creatively and there is nothing creative about Iran, so we introduce it and at the same time we remove the pillars of support the Houthi’s are currently getting. Have a great day all.

The undecided ones

That is what I see. And there is a real danger here and we will see the end come because some people cannot make decisions. They are too scared to be seen ‘in a bad light’ but the their inactions have more dire consequences than they are willing to admit to, because they are in a setting “we can talk with them”, “we could find a mutual solution” but the direct setting is that they do not want to talk. The want to lead at the expense of everyone and everything. I am of course talking about Iran and now their terrorist branches Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi. The indecisive actions by the United States is making its mark, because Iran sees the weakness in the United States. The bully president talks and talks, but the weary part of all this is seen, the United States is broke beyond belief and they can no longer boast what they want, well they could, but it is now reaching more and more deaf ears. So whilst we get “Good morning. Donald Trump has used the platform of the UN general assembly in New York to threaten to “annihilate the Islamic republic” of Iran, “and do it quickly”. He called on countries to unite to isolate Tehran and bring down global energy prices.” So how are they doing that exactly? You see, they started their clambake 207 days ago (which amounts to 29 weeks and 4 days) and they weren’t able to stop Iran and others (like the Houthis) are seeing this as a weakness. All that, whilst I gave a much better setting in the last 29 weeks that is better, more complete and it hinders the Iranians to a much larger effect and my ‘plan’ didn’t cost and whilst AP News gave us that this is costing the USA $43.6 billion, my ‘plan’ did it at a fraction of the cost and a lot more complete. This is not a brag, I placed the idea in my blog and I gave it free of charge to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, because when these places are under attack, you are not asking for money (it would still be nice though) but these inventions are untested and they get it for free and can decide how to implement it. I had France WW2 as an example. As such it might merely be a partial innovation (aka iteration) on this. And I am not undecided, I decided to hand Saudi Arabia (the UAE too) whatever I had to counter Iran and its three terrorist organisation and perhaps my way will not work. More able engineers than me can decide on that. I am not undecided. So in the meantime we see the CSIS give us ‘Is the United States Abandoning Saudi Arabia at Its Moment of Need?’ Where we see “By 2022, Saudi Arabia and the Houthis had negotiated a ceasefire. It held imperfectly until July 2026, when Saudi Arabia was attacked again—this time most definitely by the Houthis. The attacks plunged Saudi Arabia into a conflict it had hoped to avoid.

Houthi missiles, mostly intercepted, began targeting Saudi Arabia on July 13. The Houthis announced a naval blockade on July 22 and began targeting oil tankers carrying Saudi crude in the Red Sea. They then began attacking Saudi energy infrastructure, culminating in a strike on an oil refinery in Jazan on August 9. On September 10, an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq—plausibly coordinating with the Houthis—struck the critical East-West Pipeline that had allowed the country to reroute its oil exports from the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea. And on September 18, a Houthi ballistic missile targeting Riyadh was intercepted by Saudi air defenses.” As I personally see this, the Iranian puppets are now acting against Saudi Arabia and this requires more than just shrugging. A few weeks ago I gave Saudi Arabia more ideas and put is up to them to distill if my ideas have merit. I believe it does. We need to act in support of allies and I have always regarded that Saudi Arabia and the UAE are allies. As such we need to act. So I am in favour of acting, but we get from the Guardian ‘Trump calls off airstrikes at last minute’ and we can set this to all kinds of reasons, but in the end their ally Saudi Arabia was under attack and they became an undecided party. So what is the right action? As I see it we stand with Saudi Arabia (with the UAE too) and we take Iran and his terrorist organisations to the cleaner. I am too old to fight, but I have a few good ideas and the first one is to destroy the harbour of Mocha and destroy whatever it gets in ships, because that is how the Houthi get their weapons. It seems that their source is Eritrea, but how do they get there? That is where I see it different. The Iranian ships come to the Gulf of Aden and most likely the Iranians have a deal with people around Aden (pure speculation on my side), there I too much with Eritrea I am not accepting, it is almost like the intelligence is set for Saudi Arabia to start unprovoked attacks on Eritrea. And I am driven by evidence (and I am not privy to the evidence that might exist), so basically I am flying blind. But the media knows a lot more and they are absent in the reporting of the Iranian Houthi acts. They basically merely state ‘Iran-backed Houthis’ all whilst it should be ‘the Iranian puppet run Houthi terrorists’ and there is no place for the undecided ones. So whilst they are trying to weasel their ways in a setting where they can shine like the proverbial peace talking people and all whilst they are playing with the lives of others, they are hiding in a setting where they are safe, but their is no longer any safe place. There are no longer talks, President Trump made that impossible when they attacked on February 28th. So either they commit to eradicating Iran, or Iran becomes the biggest terrorist handler the world has ever seen and we are lucky, because this setting would be 100 times larger if Qasem Soleimani was still alive. That is the only luck we currently have and that is why we need to be decisive in all this and unite behind Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I personally feel more like an Emirati, mainly because I am no Muslim and Saudi Arabia is decently conservative Muslim. But that is probably the only reason. I still believe in the defense of Saudi Arabia, which is why I handed them my military IP. 

So when will the world wake up? When the oil stops delivering? When the Houthis decide that they should (with assistance) of Hezbollah turn towards Israel and Egypt? They are then merely one step away from France. So when that becomes a feeding ground towards pushing them all towards Shia Islam, what is stopping them? The undecided ones? It will be too late at that point. We have options at this point and as I see it the United States no longer is one, so we either unite with Saudi Arabia or we see our world come undone. And don’t put too much faith in the selective outrage of Antonio Guterres stating “I have never seen killing and destruction like Gaza”, where we should wonder what he was doing when we saw the fatalities of Ethiopia set to 750,000 to 797,000 people per year, 377,000 total deaths in Yemen, Sudan with 400,000 deaths, and Ukraine with an expected 525,000 fatalities? So, was Antonio Guterres asleep at the wheel? (Im just asking). We need to stop the lackeys of Iran and stop Iran, a two sided battle and there is no prize for the losers and if we remain undecided we will most certainly lose. A lesson that President Trump apparently never learned. Because he boasted to have defeated Iran over 30 times and as I see it Saudi Arabia as well as the UAE had to clean up the mess of this. So when this mess gets cleaned up, we need to see what to do next. I still think that China might be the solution to all this and I reckon that the EU comes around the moment the dangers of Hezbollah, Houthi and Iran becomes real, but that might be too late a setting and I have no idea how the intelligence of DGSE is. But if you are not an intelligence person you might never know and those who are aren’t putting this on their blog (as I am), a simple truth. But the best actions? I actually have no idea, but I see the danger (even if some make claim that there is none) recognising the dangers we are in is important, because that shows you who the undecided ones are and with that we could see where we can find an optional solution.

Have a great day today.

Oil in the family

That is a lying, a music title and a requirement for some. You see, the Middle East Monitor gave us yesterday ‘Saudi Aramco cancels October crude allocations to European refiners: Report’ where we see (at https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260919-saudi-aramco-cancels-october-crude-allocations-to-european-refiners-report/) “Saudi Aramco informed at least two European refining customers that they will receive no crude oil in October following an attack on the kingdom’s key pipeline to the Red Sea, Bloomberg reported Friday. The decision applies to all European buyers, said the report, citing those familiar with the matter who requested anonymity because the information is not public.” As I personally see it, this is the consequence of making political dances with the Iranian terrorist state and its vessels the Houthi terrorists. This is the outcome of extremism in the Middle East. I feel happy that I at least gave my military IP to Saudi Arabia. It might result in some positivity, or it might not. But when we see “The suspension of the Saudi route prompted some European refiners to seek alternative supplies. Polish refiner Orlen has issued more than 10 tenders since Friday as it moves to secure replacement barrels, said the report. European members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development imported an average of 577,000 barrels per day of Saudi crude in June, according to an International Energy Agency’s latest Oil Market Report.” There is a larger consideration, first is that Canada has a new client in the EU for whatever oil they can deliver and the EU could deliver arms for oil to Saudi Arabia and as I see it, they need a lot more arms and they need to keep Houthi terrorists out of Saudi Arabia. I personally think that something needs to be done about the Iranian likes to Eritrea and deal with these smugglers, but that is merely my limited view. I am still in favour or eradicating Houthi and Iranians and the fact that Iran send drones to Mecca, gives the indications that a lot of muslims will see it my way at present. 

No matter how I see things, it is safe to say that the entire business equation is about to die in 9 days and I reckon that plenty of places will see this setting as ‘disastrous’ and on the upside, with the power dwindles that plants of places are going to see, the entire data center setting is about to be stopped nice and clearly, because with power limitations come all kinds of excess power needs that needs to be dialed down and the power requirements of any data center needs to be set to zero (I refrain from saying absolute zero) but until over a dozen nuclear power plants are complete (which will not happen before 2037, power will be a massive commodity all over Europe. And there is no real indication whether this is a ploy from Saudi Arabia to create a more powerful setting of becoming a Saudi ally, or whatever the need is, but there is a larger setting that is in play and I personally believe that this is about creating a better situation for Saudi Arabia and taking Houthi terrorists and their masters Iran out the equation. I think it is clear that they cannot rely on the United States, those people make claims that Iran was defeated over 30 times and we saw where that was headed from the get go. So as the United States were not willing to put boots on the ground in Yemen, the use of the United States is pretty obsolete and redundant. I cannot see into the power structures of Saudi Arabia, but it seems clear that they have had enough of fake friends. And this its about to get worse, if Pakistan honors the treaty (which requires me to know the text of the treaty, which I do not) there is every chance that Pakistan will come to the military aid of Saudi Arabia. 

The part that is currently unknown is whether this is merely one month delivery, or if it is the start of a lot more. And I remember the oil crises of 1973, when there were no cars on the road on Sunday, only first responders and medical people (on route) were allowed to drive on a Sunday. We could return to this setting, but it might not be enough. I feel for the people of Europe, but Saudi Arabia must do what is best for Saudi Arabia and its people. If this includes stopping oil deliveries to Europe, then that is what must happen. I am not a violent person but eradicating Iranians and Houthis is OK with me. They had their chances and as if they are unwilling to learn, that is on them. 

So, what happens next? I have no idea and likely a lot of people have no idea, but this all started with President Trump starting bombing Iran on February 28th 2026. And I see it as a first priority to ascertain the facts of the drone attack on September 10th 2026. It might be a moot conversation, but as I see it, Houthis (and Yemen in general) lack drone skills as in the fabrication of them, as such as we are given that “No group officially claimed responsibility”, I reckon that they figured on the wrath of hell coming their way, so they aren’t volunteering to paint a target on them. And the setting we are also given “investigations by the Iraqi government indicated that the drones were launched from Iraqi territory (specifically Maysan province), pointing toward a regional armed resistance or splinter group backed by or aligned with regional networks” (source: Al Jazeera) and I am suspecting that Iran backed these terrorists. They have done so before and there will be no denying it. Their word is not to be taken in earnest or even seriously. It strengthens the need for eradication of Iran and there is only so much we can forgive. And this is not about the oil. Iran has been out of control for a long time and that is not on the United States. As we are given “Sparked by severe economic collapse, inflation, and a crash of the Iranian rial, protests spread across all 31 provinces. The state unleashed a militarized crackdown on January 8–9, 2026, marking what UN and human rights organizations reported as the deadliest protest suppression since 1979, with thousands unlawfully killed by security forces” (source: UN Human rights center) and the setting that they attacked Saudi Arabia and the UAE under false premises is a passing of a red line so wide that we need to consider any option to stop Iran and it puts eradication on the table.

You might think me inhumane, but Iran did this to themselves and a response is now needed and if it is inhumane, so mote it be. So is it me, or are we entering a much worse situation in the Middle East? There is no way I can tell, because I am not even close to an expert on Middle Eastern matters. I have other abilities, so no regrets on that side. 

As matters are about to get worse, make sure you see your strengths and cash in on this. Have a great day today.

The media orchestra

That is what it sounds like, but what us it? It is a media apparatus all set towards the impending doom of isolation, but is that really the case. We start with ‘US opts not to back Saudi Arabia in Yemen after meeting Houthi leaders’ which comes from the Guardian a mere 6 hours ago. It is here we see “Iran-backed militants have offered Trump administration assurances over safety of Red Sea shipping”, as I see it, the divide and conquer model is still the preferred model for Iran backed dumbo’s. And with the setting of “Officials from the US met Houthi leaders over the weekend at the country’s embassy in Muscat, Oman, it has been confirmed, leading to the US decision not to intervene to help Saudi Arabia drive back a Houthi advance inside Yemen.” And with that I personally see (not everyone agrees) that the US has been made the bitch of Iran, initially by Iran itself and now by a vassal of Iran. That is some serious bad managing allies Washington. I am clearly a no-one (mostly self proclaimed) but when Saudi Arabia was under attack, I gave them my military IP to attack Iran and after that the Houthi terrorists. I feel perfectly fine doing that, in the first we all have a decently sworn duty to counter terrorism where we see it and Houthi’s are terrorists, plain and simple. We then get ‘Saudis pound Yemen as Houthis fire back, further widening Middle East war’, we get this from ABC News 15 hours ago where we see “Iran-backed rebels in Yemen have launched drones and missiles at Saudi cities, as the Kingdom launches hundreds of air strikes against Houthi positions, in a further sign that the conflict is worsening. Houthi strikes on a Saudi pipeline has disrupted up to 4 per cent of global oil shipments, further exacerbating the supply shortage triggered by the Iran war. The US is now issuing new warnings to government employees operating in Saudi Arabia.” As well as “The Houthis, who since last week have swept through Yemeni towns along the Red Sea coast and seized islands in the Bab el-Mandeb strait at its mouth, released battlefield video overnight of fighters seizing armoured vehicles from Saudi-backed forces.” All whilst the other ‘side’ is that we are given that ‘Chris Wright on Energy Abundance’ so whilst we are given “The secretary of energy says that making power more abundant for billions of people around the world will only improve their lives—and bring costs down” he gives a theoretical setting to counter a real political one. A non-ally does that and this all started by the stupid actions of the United States (as well as Israel) but the sentiment is that Israel would never have taken such bold actions if it had not received support from the United States. Israel has real grievances with Iran, so I am keeping them out of all this as much as possible. I saw that the only way to counter Iran was the destruction of their 10 refineries as well as ‘scuttle’ (it was as good a word as any) their infrastructure. I handed the IP of this to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, because they were both under attack for acts they had no help or dealings in. They ever denied the United States to act against Iran from their soil. But Iran’s setting was destabilization of any means as much as possible. It was my thought (optionally a wrong one) that the United States believed that stabilization was their way of coming out on top in the global economy, all whilst they are losing allies quicker than anything the United States has ever witnessed. Some say that the list of allies the United States has dwindled down to 7. Even as we see “The U.S. has comprehensive bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements with 20 countries (including Australia, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Singapore, and several Central American and Middle Eastern nations)” and it seems that no one took the tariff settings into account. As such they have very little allies left and in that setting the ‘talks’ with Houthi terrorists is a desperate one. And yesterday we got ‘Saudi Arabia warns it will respond ‘firmly’ to Houthi attacks, as oil prices surge’ (source: SBS) so why is the oil price in this so important? Saudi Arabia is under terrorist attack and where is that so called navy of the United States stopping Iranian smuggle vessels? So as we are given “The Houthis have been engaged in renewed fighting with Saudi-backed government forces since Yemen’s civil war reignited in July, when the group declared a maritime blockade on Riyadh and began targeting its ships in the Red Sea.” But the counter setting is also clear. They are receiving massive help from Iran as Houthi resources are dwindling down and as Yemen has little in all this to produce, how are the Houthi getting these materials? So as some make references towards “Iran provides advanced weaponry—including ballistic missiles and drones—along with training and financial assistance as part of its regional “Axis of Resistance”. While international intelligence and independent bodies document this extensive backing, Tehran officially denies direct military involvement.” So whilst some are ‘focussed’ on the tracks of Eritrea and Houthi’s. The technology of Sudan is equally limited and no one is seemingly ‘too’ interested in stopping that too. Is that the act of an Ally? It seems that the walls are closing in on Saudi Arabia, but for what reason? An ally is that, an ally. But as I see it, the United States is so dependent in debt that they will talk to anyone coming with a bag of coins and for that matter, what was stopping the United States to destroy the 10 refineries Iran had? I even created IP to stop their harbors and trains from working, making progress from Iran almost impossible. And I am a no-one. Why did the Pentagon not see these actions. I know I got the better solutions over DARPA at least 4 times over, but I am not that big a genius. So what was stopping the United States with all its resources from coming up with better solutions? Makes you think doesn’t it. And there is no boasting. I put these solutions (in part) on my blog, as such, there are ways to check that. And the tactical insights are about that of a toddler in a sandbox (perhaps their AI disassembled that sandbox?) But it seems to me that too many media (optionally correctly) is showing the world that Saudi Arabia has less and less real allies left. As I see it we need to stand with Saudi Arabia and send that message clearly, of course the other option is clear too. If China now proclaims Saudi Arabia to be an ally and clearly shows this by showing the extent towards a group like the Houthi terrorists, Beijing gets a golden treatment, oil for a long time (and that reduction comes from the United States pile) the United States comes into one of the final legs of their self made train crash. Because without oil it ends quite fast and quite clear. As such the world will say to Chris Bright you proclaimed that you had the way to that making power more abundant for billions of people around the world will only improve their lives—and bring costs down. But the down side to this is that shale gas comes with dangers. Dangers to environment, climate, and health and all due to hydraulic methodology and the chemicals here could reach underwater water streams optionally poisoning the entire nation. But no one is thinking about that, this beside the point that the Dutch learned the hard way. They now have to deal with earthquakes, a place that almost never had them before now has to deal with them regularly. The Netherlands now has 287.000 places in real danger of earthquakes. That is what the United States await and all because it is no longer an ally of the Saudi Arabia, a harsh price to pay and Saudi Arabia never wanted any of this, but now they must do what is bet to Saudi Arabia and what is best for its citizens and as I personally see it, they might turn to China for that. So less than an hour ago we were given ‘US and Houthi Officials Hold Secret Oman Talks as Yemen Conflict Escalates’ with the text “Reuters, citing regional and diplomatic sources, reported that the meeting took place in Muscat with Omani mediation. The Houthi delegation was reportedly led by chief negotiator Mohammed Abdulsalam, while the United States was represented by officials involved in regional security and maritime diplomacy.” And the parties in this were keeping this a secret? (Tiny giggle escaping my throat) but the setting is now clearing up. China has a rather large opportunity and if that help results in downing or even eradicating Houthi interests in Saudi Arabia, the United States will be on the defense, losing the Gulf states for well over a decade. So where was the upside in that February 28th attack on Iran? Where are the smugglers in Eritrea getting their hardware? Why does a no one like me see this whilst this should be clear all over the Pentagon (aka 7400 Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301) as I see it, some games are being played and that might be on the current political branch and the Pentagon takes order from them. As I personally see it, Saudi Arabia will be forced to adjust its traction and allies, but then I am not a politician and I could be wrong.

Have a great day all.
