Keep this in mind

As I was looking at ‘the news’ a few things hit me. The first one was the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/11/the-shine-has-been-taken-off-dubai-faces-existential-threat-as-foreigners-flee-conflict) where we see ‘‘The shine has been taken off’: Dubai faces existential threat as foreigners flee conflict’ I have to disagree as I have seen some crypto boys run for their lives, but they don’t amount to anything. The internet (Youtube specifically) is flooding with people enjoying life in Abu Dhabi (Dubai too). So when I read “leaving beach bars, malls and hotels eerily empty” This gives me the mind on how it was a year ago? You see, Islamic nations are in the middle of Ramadan, as such these places are massively empty during the day and I reckon that malls have a similar standing. I wonder what the attempt was by writer Hannah Ellis-Petersen (who claims to be in Dubai). I am not saying that is a lie (or an exaggeration) I am merely asking how the public goes to the places during Ramadan. I guess that some families would avoid Dubai and Abu Dhabi during these settings but to see “They are among the tens of thousands of residents and tourists that have fled Dubai since the US and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran almost two weeks ago.” I get that tourists are not in the ‘appeasing’ setting towards the hostilities of Iran and I get that. As I personally have Abu Dhabi on my bucket list (preferably intact) I still hope to see this place before my corpus delicti kicks the bucket (not the one with the list). It happens some cards fall out of reach, but I still hope that I will see this place, preferably staying at the Warner Brothers hotel and seeing my youthful idol Joker (Batman too). Still, the setting we are given “The Fairmont hotel, located on Dubai’s famed artificial palm tree-shaped island, home to mega-mansions, lavish hotels and upmarket beach clubs, was also dramatically hit.” Yet I also learned a few days ago that it had a mere $550 damage, as such what is this “dramatically hit” the Guardian is talking about? So when we get “I don’t want to be in Dubai any more, there is no business, we are earning nothing since this war, and I don’t see the tourism coming back. A lot of taxi drivers like me, we are thinking to go to a different country now. Everybody knows that Dubai is finished.”” I have no idea what that pussy was that was talking about, but I don’t believe that Dubai is finished. Neither are Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. If my IP works Saudi Arabia and the UAE will have plenty of damage to do to Iran and they should, because they were attacked by Iran. 

As such the setting intensifies and the hollow word from President Trump need to be ignored. As such I was thinking about the mines in the Strait of Hormuz. A thought had come to my mind. You see, there is a setting we ignore, there are different ways of detecting mines. But have lasers been used? You see, there todays lasers are a lot faster and consider the setting:

Now consider that no one looked at mines for the longest of times (as far as I know) and here we see a laser scanning to the bottom of the sea, it will not do so in a mere line. It can use arcs going up and down, the idea is that this is done with GPS and more accurate maps (which already exists) and now that mine shows up ‘brightly’ considering the setting with DML, mapping solutions and powerful computers, I personally feel that this should be a setting of easy. Peasy, chicken easy (I could be wrong). I haven’t worked on disposing, but I reckon the Navies of the world already have a setting here and I feel bad at reinventing the wheel. So this is the setting I currently see. So what is taking the United States nay this long? They had enough time to consider that and as President Trump stated that they have already won, this setting should not exist. 

So then we get to The Hill (at https://thehill.com/business/5779706-iran-qatar-financial-institutions/) where we see ‘Banks evacuate, close offices in Qatar, Dubai after Iran threatens attacks’ which is weird as the war is already won (isn’t it?) So as we get “Several banks urged their employees to evacuate offices in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday as Iran threatens to launch strikes on financial institutions. HSBC has closed all its branches in Qatar until further notice, citing safety precautions in a text message sent to clients, Reuters reported.” We can conclude that the United States hasn’t won anything and now the setting changes, because (as others have stated already) it seems that the United States seemingly cannot protect anyone in the gulf states. As such my other ideas will likely gain speed soon enough. So we get back to the Hill article where we also see “Citigroup and Standard Chartered also told their staff in Dubai to work from home amid the regional conflict, according to a memo reviewed by Reuters. 

Goldman Sachs issued the same warning to employees based at their offices in the Dubai International Financial Centre, Bloomberg reported.” This I can agree with, if it is possible to work from home, that setting might be preferable to many. It kinda sucks if you need to get things done at a bank, but a lot can be done by ATM and the UAE have plenty of those around. And as the Guardian also gives us ‘Iran escalates attacks on infrastructure and transport networks across the Gulf’ (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/11/iran-escalates-attacks-on-infrastructure-and-transport-networks-across-the-gulf) where we see “Iran dramatically escalated its strategy of striking civilian infrastructure and transport networks across the Gulf on Wednesday, attacking commercial ships and targeting Dubai’s international airport as US and Israeli warplanes launched new waves of strikes on the Islamic Republic.” I believe that time has come for the UAE and Saudi Arabia take the fight to Iran, there are 10 major operating oil refineries, take these out and there won’t be any money rolling into Iran any day soon. No matter what others say, they brought the war to the Gulf States and as such there will be a reconning as I personally see it. At least 5 nations were unprovoked under attack. I say two refineries each to quench the feeling of vendetta. There is no after Ramadan, Iran is attacking now, return is required and to honor Ramadan, these nations have sunset to sunrise to make Iran consider the hollow acts they performed on them. Seems fair doesn’t it?

Are there more actions that could be done? Well, my IP takes care of their infrastructure and they could be released on other targets too, but I don’t want to callously attack civilians (I don’t want to be seen as an Iranian), I believe that hurting the infrastructure as I saw it will cause months of delays and it will cost millions to set right and as I took in account land, sea and air. I think I have done my good deed for both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I am sorry to say that I am not doing that from Abu Dhabi, but we all have our hardships, mine is on Sydney. 

Only 5 hours ago, we get a quote from CBS ‘Trump vows to end war soon as Iran hits ships, threatens banks, and toll on U.S. forces emerges’, which is weird, because he told the PM of the United Kingdom that the war was already won, so something is amiss and I am playing the fool here with intent. You see, to make him show his real colors the Gulf stated merely have to take the 10 refineries out of the equation. I am a devious devil (Lucifer Morningstar told me that himself) and there are at least three little snippet hidden in this story. So whilst CBS gives us “The speed and extent of the damage have so concerned Iran and Lebanon that they sent a request to the United Nations’ cultural agency, UNESCO, this week to add more sites to its enhanced protection list.” I think that this is a bogus act and should be ignored. The setting here is simple as Iran attacks civilian targets in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Qatar and a few other places. They should not be able to ask for any protection, they started this they can lose whatever is hit. But that might be the anger speaking in me. So when we consider the CBS story (at https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-us-israel-strait-of-hormuz-ship-attacks-persian-gulf-drones-missiles/) A setting that could evolve, but as long as Iran keeps on attacking other nations that never allowed for the United States to launch any attacks against Iran, others can attack Iranian targets as much as they can, but that might merely be my view on the matter.

Have a great day you all.

What is news?

This morning I got alerted (through Twitter) of news. Senator Graham allegedly is threatening Saudi Arabia to join the war. This got me puzzled, because President Trump stated “President  Trump has used Truth Social and other platforms to declare victory in conflicts, particularly regarding a 2025-2026 conflict with Iran.” And if this is true, what does a lowly Senator needs to strong-arm the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? So, I was seeing this is wondering what this was all about. Then the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/09/lindsey-graham-saudi-arabia-iran) gives us ‘Trump ally Lindsey Graham issues threat to Saudi Arabia over Iran war’ complete with a picture as he is standing next to his friends on the escalator. And it comes with the setting of “Senator Lindsey Graham on Monday questioned whether the United States should honor a long-sought defense agreement with Saudi Arabia, saying the kingdom’s refusal to join military operations against Iran made the partnership difficult to justify given that Americans were dying in a war Graham himself helped push the Trump administration to start.” It is (as I personally see it) a lie sugarcoated in lovely connected facts. So we have “whether the United States should honor a long-sought defense agreement with Saudi Arabia” which is basically a truth, but it is also set to commerce in an investment in billions. Then we get “the kingdom’s refusal to join military operations against Iran” is a setting that the United States forced upon others and they got Israel to join as Iran has been waging proxy wars against Israel. So when we get “made the partnership difficult to justify given that Americans were dying in a war Graham himself helped push the Trump administration to start.” So where is the request from Saudi Arabia to start a war against Iran? As far as is known none if the gulf states requested the United States to start this war and as I personally see it (massively speculative) Oil is the currency a bear bankrupt country needs and as President Trump is all about being the bully, I reckon he asked Senator Graham to occupy the fighting line. And should I be wrong (which is feasible) then the United States better spread the requests of Saudi Arabia through all the media, so that they can fact check this issue. Personally I don’t think it happened because Saudi Arabia can make its own diner with the reagents at its disposal, it does not need the United States to do their work from them and as I basically gave them my IP (and the UAE too) the idea of seeing the rail drones in action might be a sight to behold. With 12,998 Kilometers of tracks that can be ‘hindered’ in several places. The Iranian economy stops before the oil even reaches the harbor (and I have a solution for that too). 

So, when we get to “Riyadh has been on the hunt for a formal US security guarantee modeled on Washington’s treaty with Japan that would commit the United States to help defend the kingdom against external attack. In May 2025, the Trump administration described a $142bn arms package with Riyadh as the largest defense cooperation agreement in US history, and in November it granted the kingdom major non-Nato ally status. A broader, binding mutual defense pact, however, remains unsigned.” So what is actually the case? The 142B, or the mutual defense pact? The defense pact remains unsigned, so this is not the issue, what is, is the fact that the gulf States are about to yank $5T out of the United States of America and I reckon. That these $142,000,000,000 are part of that. The question is, what has been delivered and what is not. After which we get “The Saudi foreign ministry issued a response to the Iranian strikes earlier on Monday, condemning the attacks as unjustifiable and stating that Riyadh retains “its full right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens”. It made no mention of joining US military operations, and the embassy did not return a request for comment.” As I see it, Saudi Arabia can do what it needs to do, no interference from the United States are required. But the jewel comes after this as we see “The Wall Street Journal reported that Graham spent months pressing Donald Trump to authorize strikes on Iran, first raising the idea during a round of golf shortly after the 2024 election. The senator made repeated trips to Israel, spoke with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman to signal that US strikes appeared likely, and said he advised Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on how to approach the president.” It is my speculative view that this was the first pebble to solve the American bankruptcy, I am speculating that this was the ‘unwanted’ ally seek that Graham was seeking and now that the dam is about to burst, Senator Graham is in a tough spot (not as tough as President Trump though).

The final setting I see is “Iran responded with waves of missiles and drones targeting US military bases and allies across the region, which have so far killed seven American military personnel and wounded eight more.” What makes this ‘special’ is that this is the fact that these allies are now touring away from the united States and taking their trillions with them, more important, we see “so far killed seven American military personnel and wounded eight more” but there is no mention of the civilians killed in attacks all over the gulf states (by Iran) and structural damage they received. That and a few more facts is why the trillions are likely to go away from the United States and with that the United States need this win, because that is is all they have to live for soon enough.

It is not much, but that is how I see it and I feel great as IP I created might hurt Iran and secure both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, I am a no one, I know that, but here I gave the idea for a canal before the attacks started and I handed solutions to governments. My slate is clear, my life is pretty complete and I can see towards the end of my life with satisfaction. What more can a person ask for?

What we think we know

That what we think we know is a dangerous setting. We can know things on presumption and that is fine. How will anyone react tends to be also in the cards. But to sell the pelt of any animal before you make good on the kill is very dangerous. The idea that allies are bound into a sense of understanding is one thing. But tell me this, how is this set into reality?

So how is “We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP” realistic? Is there a win? Was there a war? You see the United States of America never declared war on anyone and that will haunt President Trump long after he is taken out of office. You see, America is now playing a very dangerous game. Not only is his economy (basically) tanking, but at present he has no allies left. Then ABC gives us “As of March 2026, Saudi Arabia, along with other Gulf states, is reportedly reviewing its international financial commitments, including potential reductions in U.S. investments. Driven by budget pressures, lower energy revenues, and regional tensions, this shift is considered a precautionary strategy rather than an immediate, full withdrawal.” Some make claim that this is around 5 trillion dollars (aka $5,000,000,000,000) and in light of the debt they already have (As of March 5, 2026, the total U.S. national debt is approximately $38,870,000,000,000 trillion) so the United States of America is in a bundle and I reckon that they want to reduce Iran into a cinder so that they can claim the oil, they won’t make that claim, they merely buy all the oil at a speculative $0.50 per barrel). But that is merely my speculative view. The AFR, or Australian Financial Review (at https://www.afr.com/world/middle-east/trump-s-war-on-iran-is-a-long-way-from-won-20260304-p5o7hu) gives us ‘Trump’s war on Iran is a long way from won’ where we see “As the second week of “Operation Epic Fury” rumbles on, the duration of the widening conflict across the Middle East and its impact on the global economy and Australia remain uncertain. US-Israeli air strikes have succeeded in decapitating Iran’s high command and degrading its military and naval capacity. Yet, like the hydra regenerating after the head is cut off, there is no certainty the regime has been defeated after the son of the assassinated supreme leader Ali Khamenei was appointed his successor.” (The rest is behind a paywall). But I had my own version of systems and I have gifted all my military IP to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Iran needs to be defeated as it attacked the gulf states. And as my IP destroys their harbors and railway lines. Iran will have serious problems with their infrastructure soon enough. I wrote about this in the last few days. 

I think that if they are willing to attack civilian targets, then I can send my IP to them to aid them in their fight against Iran and the setting that Saudi Arabia has been under attack by Iran in proxy warfare makes the decision easier. I might not make any money, but at least it will serve a greater purpose and that is fine with me. 

And now as Mojtaba Khamenei is selected as the new supreme leader there is every chance that both Israel and the United States of America will face more weeks of warfare. Is there a chance it will be over soon? It is not impossible but only if Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj and Tabriz are totally reduced to rubble and in the meantime the press (always eager to make digital dollars) are watching every bomb that falls. Only in the first week were we given ‘US investigators believe strike on Iranian girls’ school probably carried out by US forces’ (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/06/us-investigators-believe-strike-on-iranian-girls-school-likely-carried-out-by-us-forces) and now we hear rumors (unconfirmed facts) that the schools was accidentally targeted twice. So they screwed up twice and now they need to make a victory, but what will it take? More important, does the United States of America have the cash to set this war into reality? And there are several other facts that are in doubt. I reckon that if the gulf states remove their 5 trillion, life in the United States will become really hard soon enough, and the setting to piss of Sir Keir Rodney Starmer and the British people is about to have a considerable price tag. Didn’t anyone tell this president the story that you cannot sell the hide of an animal before you kill it? It is a simple question really.

So have a great day and enjoy the sunshine (if there is any).

Can we say Ole?

This is a setting that remains to be seen. Not from my side. I am fine with it and there are a few reasons for that. But it all started with a few news casts were we see (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/3/spain-baulks-at-trumps-threat-to-cut-off-all-trade-over-nato-iran-stance) the Al Jazeera setting. The title ‘Spain baulks at Trump’s threat to cut off all trade over NATO, Iran stance’ and it comes with “Spain has said the US should be mindful of international law and bilateral trade agreements with the European Union, after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut off all trade with the country for refusing to let the US military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on Iran.” And it is a simple setting and in this I stand with Spain. No formal declaration of war exists between a NATO ally (or NATO) and Iran as such there are issues with international law and simply put, it makes the United States of America the aggressor (together with Israel). I am not against these hits, but that is me, a person, an individual that does not matter, an individual that has no bearing on international law. So for the Bully named Shit (or was it bullshit named something) to set the premise of what some describe as “US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut trade with Spain over the ban on using their military bases during the Iran war.” And this act will bite back. Of that I have no doubt. You see America was never directly attacked, this is the ‘benefit’ of a proxy war. Don’t get me wrong. What was done had to be done and it had to be done a lot sooner than now. We might notice it not that Iran is attacking Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia all in one setting. But it started that the United States and Israel decided to preemptively strike against Iran. There was never a formal declaration of war, as such there are all kinds of labels we can throw at this, but in international law the NATO partners are playing a dangerous game. Iran now has (to some extent) international law in its side. And bullying Spain with trade sanctions because Spain will not allow attacks on Iran from base activity in Spain is understandable. Al Jazeera also gives us “On Tuesday, before a meeting with German Chancellor Frederich Merz, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office in Washington, DC, that “Spain has been terrible” for not allowing the US to use its bases. He said that he had told his secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, to “cut off all dealings” with Spain. “We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don’t want anything to do with Spain,” the US president said.” It seems nice, but President Trump might want to talk to congress, he avoided them in the past and now that he is attacking Iran without a formal declaration of war there might be legal sides to all this. As such, how are the facilities in Germany used? Can we get a run down on them? What about the logistical sides? What is run from Italy or the UK? What are the settings there? I got word that the UK is allowing the attacks on Iran, but hat about the other bases? There is no clear indications of who is allowed and who is not. It seems like merely Spain does not and I see their problem. There is no declaration of war, USA is merely bombing Iran. And what evidence is there? We are merely given ““It was my opinion that they were going to attack first,” the president said. And with that, the botched rollout of the Trump administration’s case for war enters yet another chapter.” What evidence is there? Iran attacked with “The UAE’s ministry of defence said that 165 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles and 541 drones had been launched from Iran towards the country so far. Three people have been killed and 58 injured, the authorities said.” (Source: the independent) Between Iran and the UAE is a little river called the Persian golf (I believe that is Iranian propaganda, I personally believe the its real name is the straight of Dammam), so if you consider this, how successful would any attack on the USA be? I get that Israel would strike against Iran and the need to strike Iran is there, but the United States of America should have given a declaration of war with the approval of Congress. As stated (in senate.gov) we see “The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war. Congress has declared war on 11 occasions, including its first declaration of war with Great Britain in 1812. Congress approved its last formal declaration of war during World War II. Since that time it has agreed to resolutions authorizing the use of military force and continues to shape U.S. military policy through appropriations and oversight.” As far asI can see, President Trump did not do this and did not let Congress proclaim a war. Now they are in it and likely it comes now, but that also gives other players a disastrous setting on international law as after all what Iran has done, there is every chance that the United States of America is seen as the aggressor in this. So what was this about? Iranian oil? Your guess is as good as mine, because things were done out of synch as the IT term goes. 

So, is ‘Ole’ the proper term here? If so, it will be up to Spain to shout that word but the setting is a lot more complex that most of us can see and as I see it Saudi Arabia has a first strike option as it has under proxy war attack by Iran for at least two years now by Houthi terrorists (using Iranian equipment to attack Saudi Arabia). 

So what comes next? That is the question, but this setting has every chance of escalating at present. The question becomes how many attacks will Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar endure over the next week. We will see what comes next and I do not think we have to wait long.

Have a great (and peaceful) day.

Is anyone still in doubt?

That was the setting that was given to me by the Guardian, who produced ‘Mark Carney reminds Trump that Canada paid for key border bridge US president says he won’t open’ (at https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/10/trump-canada-windsor-detroit-bridge), this comes with the fun fact that the Guardian was trailing my previous article by several hours. So as we are given “Mark Carney said he had held a “positive” conversation with Donald Trump after the US leader threatened to block a new key bridge between their two countries, reminding the president that Canada paid for the structure – and that the US shares ownership.” This comes with the additional “Late on Monday, Trump posted a lengthy message on social media, falsely claiming that the $4.6bn Gordie Howe International Bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, had “virtually no US content”. The bridge is due to open in early 2026. In his post, Trump had also claimed that Canada owns both ends of the bridge and made a bizarre assertion that increased trade between Canada and China would include a ban on Canadians playing ice hockey.” So beside the ludicrous Hockey setting, and it is ludicrous as China has Kunlun Red Star is the most prominent Chinese professional ice hockey club. You know what? Because Canada has an evolving Chinese trade setting. Perhaps Prime Minister Mark Carney could invite Kunlun Red Star and let them play against some of the Canadian teams n Canada. Might be a sight to watch and whilst we all watch these games we could repeat the claims from President Trump on the big screens, so that the Chinese have something to laugh about to. So as we are given ““Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just ‘take advantage of America!’ What does the United States of America get – Absolutely NOTHING!” he wrote.” As I see it, Canada paid for that bridge, as such the united States of America has a sweet deal here and there is another setting (my apologies mr. Prime Minster) it could open up a new stage of shipping Chinese EV cars to the united States, complete with Huawei routers (I have a sick sense of humor). But the story is not this, as I see it, after all the BS we are shown. I am more and more convinced that the United States of America is out of funds. The 2 billion due to the United Nations, we are also given that “In 2025, over $32 billion in U.S. clean energy and manufacturing projects were cancelled, largely driven by shifting federal policies, economic instability, and high interest rates. Impacting over 40,000 jobs, major project cancellations included EV battery plants in Georgia and Michigan, and massive offshore wind developments.” (Source: Fast Company) and that list goes on and when you get to the Jersey tunnel setting that is shutdown in the 11th hour, the only thing remaining is the lack of the US Bank Balance. The tantrums of the President of the united States might have something do to with the Epstein files, but when you see how hundred of thousands of jobs are thrown in the wind, I actually doubt it. The fact that the US can no longer foot the bills that previous administrations vied for and mostly opened funds for gives me the weird setting that we are watching the final hours of a functioning United States of America. And in this there is more, but there is no real link and it is a massive  speculation. You see, one day ago we saw (source: TechStock2) ‘JP Morgan’s return-to-office fight turns personal as staff warn of ‘career suicide’’ where we see:

  • About 2,000 employees—out of a workforce topping 300,000—have signed a petition urging the company to bring back hybrid work.
  • Other banks are also cracking down on office policies, widening the post-pandemic pushback reshaping finance from within.

I personally believe that it is set to the given mandate of secrecy, there are too many things you cannot keep under wrap in a hybrid workforce. I think that these last days might be massively lucrative for JP Morgan, but this is only possible when all heads look the same way and that is a non-option in a hybrid workforce. I believe that JP Morgan is seeing the water rise and it needs an attentive workforce (in the office) That is the setting that I personally believe is the case (remember: I could be wrong). And it isn’t only JP Morgan, other banks are in the same setting. As I see it, the party is over and to survive what comes requires a massive amount of focus and adherence to protocols. Now, I could be wrong, but the settings as they evolved over the last two months are giving me the shivers. Because when the economy of the United States goes down, Japan and the EU will take massive hits and I am not sure if they could survive these hits. Consider these points:

  • In 2024, bonds made up about 8.2% of total liquid financial assets held by U.S. households, though this percentage is generally much higher in conservative retirement portfolios.
  • The $52.1 trillion in total U.S. retirement entitlements includes $48.1 trillion in financial assets, with a significant share held by institutional investors like pension funds, which are heavy holders of U.S. Treasury bonds.

So, what do you think will happen with the US Treasury bonds when the US Administration forgo payment? Consider that you have maximum 6 months to see this unfold and when the US Bonds do take a dive, what will remain of the $52.1 trillion? (It is not a hidden trap, I actually don’t know how much of all this is in bonds, but it is a lot). Another connected piece of information comes from BitGet (source is unknown to me) where we see “JPMorgan Asset Management’s Chief Global Strategist David Kelly has issued a stern warning, stating that the current stock market boom is mainly supported by liquidity and the performance of large technology stocks, showing signs of a “bubble” and is clearly disconnected from the real economy. He described the current economy as a combination of “weak consumption, sluggish employment growth, and low public sentiment.”The report points out that the start of the first quarter of 2026 has been quite turbulent, with a significant reduction in consumer activity.” As such a bubble? And not connected to the economy? When did something like that ever go good? As such we see warnings from all over the field, but to see what is real and what not is anyones guess. You know if we have some kind of register where all this is put down? A place where we can rely on the information given? Because as I see it, the newspapers are too busy starting flames for their digital dollars and both these elements do not inspire confidence, but that might be merely me talking. 

So as I see it, with all the issues going on, it would be my (optionally fictive view) that a President of the United States would be bending over backwards to get allies, to get an active economy (not merely stating that is is beautiful) but that might merely be me. Although, Canada has a person in charge who used to be the Governor of the bank of England, what does he think?

What is the real alert?

That is the stage I am seeing. Not some (as I personally see it) an alert cry of Barclays getting out of Silver, offering $312 per ounce as the ‘alerting’ video is giving rise to, it looks lovely, but if you check even one setting, we see when we look deeper “a dramatic 2025 where, despite huge short positions, silver prices soared above $90, forcing institutions like TD Securities to close positions at significant losses, as retail and institutional demand causes a severe supply squeeze.” As such was the video a position so that others holding a short setting might unload it unto others? I have no knowledge of commodities, but Abu Dhabi and Dubai were ‘accused’ as the people ‘demanding’ silver as a real commodity, not a settlement or a dollar setting. As such I got curious. There is no 2 week calendar anywhere, but perhaps I wasn’t looking where I needed to look. At present we are given “Barclays holds a strongly bullish position on silver for 2026-2027, projecting significant price increases to $75 $75/oz and $65 $65/oz, respectively, due to expectations of a Federal Reserve easing cycle, a weaker U.S. dollar, and inflationary pressures. These forecasts represent a substantial upgrade in their precious metals outlook, marking a very constructive view on the sector.”, as such I see no closing any market in 2 weeks, or any $312 offering and then there are some questions on billions of ounces the do not exist. 

That setting and the accusation of  fraud is as far as I can tell a setting of optimal liability towards YouTube and its ‘deliverer’ as YouTuber ‘Crises Signal’ what is true? Is he right and is the complete media and banking system corrupt to the core? I would believe the first part, but there are issues with the second part and the accusations towards Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Riyadh does not sit well with me. As I see it, Islam does not reward the deceivers and these three places are loaded with true believers in Islam. Yes, I know that anything is fair in war, but these parties aren’t interested in war, they merely want what is due to them (as we get presented) and is this where the fish are captured to ‘buy’ the short positions. At least that is what I can get out of this and there is a loosely connected second part. 

It was given to me by the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jan/26/death-penalty-saudi-arabia-executions-essam-shazly-human-rights) where we see ‘‘Don’t they have mercy?’: A mother on losing her son in a record year of Saudi executions’ and the Guardian always ready to collect on ‘human’ suffering. The story is seemingly about “Essam al-Shazly is the latest foreign national to die in a ‘horrifying’ surge in capital punishment under the rule of Mohammed bin Salman” but you are being lied to. Not outright lies, the stories are to ‘include’ and connect Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud to what is happening here, but as I personally see it, he might not even be aware of what is going on. You see, Saudi Arabia has an absolute no tolerance on drugs. This is not new, this has been the case for a long time and as such this is Saudi law. As such the courts convict him and executed him. There is every chance that the Crown Prince might not be aware of the existence of Essam al-Shazly and we are getting shown “far from being a drug trafficker her son fished for a living and was coerced into smuggling, then forced into a confession by Saudi officials.” No matter what we are told, he did smuggle and that comes with the punishment of death. And the ‘forced into a confession’ sounds nice, but did that actually happen? It might, it might not. But the people reading this are thinking “oh, what a poor drug dealer” but you would be wrong. There is an absolute law in Saudi Arabia and it states that in this war on drugs “including the death penalty for smugglers and repeat offenders.” As such it was a given and this has been a given fact for years but these dealers finding mules or smugglers giving out an assumed story “that they have several profitable lines and only those who never done this have a good chance of coming through” all whilst 95% (a speculated number) is getting nabbed at the borders. I reckon that there profit margin is a thousand fold, so if one in a hundred makes it through they still make a fortune and as I see it Essam al-Shazly is one of the 99 who didn’t make it and that is a shame, but the punishment of these crimes is known. As such I wonder who is sacrificing these 99 people so that they get one through and they get the 100 times the investment. I think that these 100 all get send through at nearly the same time, which would buckle the Police system and the bigger the chance would be that 2 out of 100 get through, but this is a pure speculative thought on what is going on. 

So when we get to ““The fault lies with the judge; don’t they have any mercy at all? Drugs are harmful it is true, but you caught a carrier, he is not a dealer,” she says. “Punish him for that.”” No, it does not lie with the judge, the punishment was clear on all smugglers and a carriers is a smuggler, even if you call that person a mule. As such he got punished for that. So whilst we then get the actual price of the Guardian “While Saudi Arabia tries to project a benign international image through hosting major sporting and cultural events, including 2034 World Cup, the execution of hundreds of mostly impoverished foreigners for non-violent drug crimes has gone largely unnoticed and unreported. In some cases, they were sentenced to death for trafficking drugs in return for the promise of just a few hundred dollars.” And in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia there are no ‘non-violent’ drug crimes, there are drug crimes and most of them face the death penalty, and as I see it, merely the first time user who is caught might not get the death penalty. The setting might seem harsh, but Saudi Arabia is not in the market of waging a war on drugs, they are all sentenced to die. And considering that in 2024 we were given “Since 1971, the U.S. has spent more than a trillion dollars on the war on drugs”, I agree that something needs to be done and Saudi Arabia took the other path. And unless there is a better way to capture the people behind the drugs trade, it seems that Saudi Arabia has the only path available to them. Perhaps when the world realizes that any drug action towards Saudi Arabia comes with the death penalty, smugglers and mules will consider that they are in a useless battle they cannot win, because a 1%-3% survival chance is not a real chance you should ever consider. 

And the setting that the Guardian gives us all might seem humanitarian, but it is deceptive. The rules were out there in the open, the Guardian had access to them, So giving is a cry story about a mother exploiting her grief to get a story might be one of the lowest things they have ever done. But when it comes to Saudi hatred the Guardian has always done what it needed to do to get other Saudi haters on the same page of whatever they deem a worthy cause, but I think that America has had its days with the war on drugs and as such I think that the Saudi way might be best for Saudi Arabia and the 30-40 arrests Egyptian smugglers is a price to pay, lets face it, they have 118 million people, they can lose 50, considering the price that Saudi Arabia has to pay when 1000 get addicted you have to consider 0.00004237% versus 0.02832%, in the setting of numbers, the Egyptians lose. When you look at the numbers, the KSA is keeping its population as safe as it can and that is if only 1000 get affected, when the numbers increase the Egyptians end up having even less of a chance. The Guardian needs to get its head straight. We all have priorities and the KSA has its priority and it has capital punishment, as such it seems simple. Someone is making actual war on drugs and is showing no compassion. As such I might suggest an advertisement on Egyptian TV where the KSA makes its sentiment known on TV and newspapers, perhaps when less people take the dangerous step of heading down this path something might be resolved. Perhaps Egyptian authorities will get a name or a place where from they operate. Did the Guardian consider this step? Were they aware of what they were doing?

I don’t know, I am merely asking questions and I am not asking them from Saudi Arabia as their point of view is clear. I might not completely agree with it, but it is their country, they are their laws and 90% of that nation is Sunni Muslim, so are all these convicted people Muslims? As such there is a setting of Muslim law and there is a larger setting here that the Guardian is seemingly actively avoiding. 

Have a great day, make a profit today, but I foresee a danger if you depend on some silver stories out there.

The call from outside

That is at times the setting we anticipate, but is that always the case? The Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/12/jerome-powell-investigation-explained) gives us ‘Why is Trump’s justice department investigating Fed chair Jerome Powell?’ Personally when you make blunders the way President Trump is making them, you need one man in your corner and I reckon it is supposed to be Jerome Powell, the Fed chair is supposed to be impartial, as such he would be a tremendous ally, even as the setting stands, so what gives? Well, I reckon that some see that Stage four of the American collapse has begun. I think the same thing for other reasons but their voice fills the few gaps I had, so there it is. Ad the Guardian gives us “Powell publicly denounced the inquiry as punishment for not bowing to the president’s wishes on interest rates” too, right under the headline. As such we are also given that “Trump has long wanted the Fed to lower interest rates, claiming that cutting rates would save “$1tn a year” and spur economic activity.” But at present (as It stands) we are given “Economists have also sounded the alarm, warning that Trump’s attempts to influence the Fed could risk plunging the US into a period of 1970s-style inflation, and trigger a global backlash in financial markets.” And even as they have Jerome Powell, is not alone here. We are given “Powell alone does not set interest rates. He is part of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the 12-member board that votes eight times a year on any changes to interest rates. Though Powell is just one vote out of 12, he has enormous sway as the most influential voice on the state of the US economy.” And this comes with “Fed economists often refer to the central bank’s “dual mandate”: mitigating price increases, while keeping unemployment low. Cutting rates too quickly risks higher inflation in the long term, but rates that are too high can stagnate the labor market.” To translate this, we have a house, there are three element that can be set. The house can be built Fast<>Slow, The quality of the house can be High<> Low and the Price can be High<>Low. Now the game tells us that we can set two dials, the third is forced upon us. So we can have a high quality low priced house, but the speed will then be slow. You get the idea, the third dial never ever goes your way and that is what the Federal Exchange is working with and with that setting there are problems and the interest rates are the third dial. President Trump can blow all he wants like the big bad wolf, but the Exchange rates building is build out of bricks and mortar, not straw and not wood. So whilst he wants for pressure all around him, he is now facing the ‘beginning’ of what some call ‘Hyperinflation’, I am not one of them, because I lack the economic degrees to do this comfortably. But the signs have been out there. As Saudi Arabia and Chiba are selling the US Treasury bonds, the world is watching how America is drowning its own country. 

All this is happening whilst ABC gives us (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-12/criminal-investigation-opens-into-us-federal-reserve-chair/106220038) ‘US federal prosecutors open criminal inquiry into US Federal Reserve chair’ and heart we are given “US federal prosecutors have opened a criminal inquiry into the US Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, he said on Sunday, local time. Mr Powell says he was threatened with criminal charges because he had set interest rates based on economic analysis rather than politics”, as well as “The legal threat amounts to a dramatic escalation in a fight between Mr Powell and US President Donald Trump, with analysts saying it could affect longer-term Australian interest rates.” As I personally see it, President Trump better come with massively verifiable evidence. There is every chance that Jerome Powell will stat some liability case with a pay out in the billions. I reckon that this will stump the economy to a much larger degree, because whomever fills that chair (I have no idea who does) better not play the political game until this president is gone, as such President Trump for the most lost all the marbles in this game and he will not get any other marbles. As such several states will seek safety FROM President Trump instead of with President Trump and the White House. I reckon that if Texas and California seek such a solution the age of the White House getting any input will be swayed towards other settings before long,. But this last part is pure speculation. But the sentiment rings true. And whilst China is dumping whatever US Bonds they might still have, it will hit America much harder that they bargained for. So whilst the ABC gives us ““On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June,” Mr Powell said in a statement. The testimony concerned, in part, a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. “But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration’s threats and ongoing pressure,” he said. “This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. “I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No-one — certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve — is above the law.”” But that opens up another an of worms, all the evidence concerning the Tariffs are now brought into the light, as such all the claims the American Administration made on the profits ‘gained’ can now be brought into the light and it will merely take one democratic voice to add this to any testimony that is given and the game is up for this Administration. As such I reckon that this is a really silly move. And when you consider the idea that this is not how this plays. Consider that one of the questions that are entertained “Why are the interest rates increasing?” And it only requires one of the following answers in any related subpoena: “The tariffs weren’t giving us the revenue we were told”, “Tourism had much less revenue in 2025 due to connected issues shutting down” or even “Canada has been cancelling orders for many billions and we have to get the articles somewhere else and more expensive” any of these three answers are needed and all three are expected to come into that setting and they would all have raised interest rates. So how about that? President Trump seemingly shot himself in the foot yet again. A folly from start to finish.

And all this is a given, because the Guardian gives us (at the end) “A statement signed by every living former Fed chair condemned the investigation, and warned that similar political attacks on independent central banks have led to unstable economies and higher costs of living.” Because that is what people want, a more expensive cost of life. As such the entire issues is stupid, ego driven and self deflating. All that because the ego of one person seemingly goes against economic rationality. So good luck with that. 

So are we watching into what some call stage 4 of the American economy? It seems to fit, but I cannot tell because I lack the economic education on this, but no one is seemingly asking the economy boffins of the media either. Have a great day today.

In dubious view I say

This is the continuation of the settings I gave yesterday on Venezuela. More ‘information’ was brought to light. I am not the one rallying behind dubious YouTube settings of someone stating that he heard the admiral say that all he acted after he got the word fro the president. For that dodo I give you that any admiral will follow orders if they are legal and will not divulge anything to anyone not part of the chain of command where that person needs to know. The Military and especially the American defence forces are excellently trained in this. So I need (as always) rely on the printed word and we are given by ABC (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-03/donald-trump-pardons-former-honduran-president-drug-trafficking/106095618) ‘What led Donald Trump to pardon a foreign leader convicted of helping to flood the US with drugs’ as we were given by the BBC “As part of his war on drugs”, so can anyone (in authority) give me why President Trump pardons Former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández after he receives a 45 year sentence for DRUGS no less, more specifically releasing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the United States? I have to ask that question, because this action gives us that the American setting of an upcoming war into Venezuela is nothing more than an alleged oil grab and a grab for rare earths. As It seems to be, I was right on the money with that article and only now is the media asking questions. I got there two days ago, so are they all stupid, our are they hindered by stakeholders and only released if others release the information, so that they do not look too stupid? I know, the last part is speculation, but in a stage of delayed warfare this is an option to consider, it is usually done by tank commanders as a tactical maneuver where tanks withdraw from combat to realign firepower whilst other tanks withdraw from the battle. These withdrawal tactics can be used to the media and they all ‘watch’ each other and they warn each other when someone sills the beans so that they can quickly release what they have. This is the speculative setting I see and that makes sense, especially as some are in a fix not to get their jobs burned and these editors have a backchannel that only they (the editors) can use.

So as ABC releases “the US president has just pardoned and released a man who was in jail for overseeing one of the world’s worst drug conspiracies. Juan Orlando Hernandez used his position as the president of Honduras to help flood the US with billions of hits of cocaine, a New York court was told last year.” His excuse that the attacks on Venezuela will be done to stop the war on drugs goes straight out of the window, as such oil and rare earths becomes the actual stage of the upcoming war and as Reuters gives us ‘US lawmakers to force vote on war powers if Trump attacks Venezuela’ with “Three House of Representatives lawmakers – Democrats Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and Joaquin Castro of Texas and Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky – filed their own resolution on Tuesday that also would block the Trump administration from engaging in hostilities within or against Venezuela without congressional authorization.

U.S. troops have carried out at least 21 strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific since early September, killing at least 83 people as Trump escalates a military buildup against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s government.” And this wasn’t in the cards before the USS Gerald R. Ford was dispensed to that theatre of escalations? More important, what were the orders given to Capt. David Skarosi who commands that vessel? I understand that there is a setting of concealment (as it is defence and national interests) but I reckon that the secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) in this case John Phelan has some of the goods and as we are getting a president saying one thing and doing something else, these two should make sure that the integrity of the Navy is not being endangered. They have a duty to their navy and the American people as I personally see it. We see the word of these representative lawmakers and it is none that they get the limelight, but did they engage with these two parties on the dangers that President Trump is acting in an optional self-centered consideration of needs (a presumption I assure you) and we see all kinds of saber rattling, but there is a chain of command, was it employed to get to the right answers? 

Because the setting above would seem a lot more powerful when it is given in this way:
 “Three House of Representatives lawmakers – Democrats Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and Joaquin Castro of Texas and Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky – filed their own resolution on Tuesday that also would block the Trump administration from engaging in hostilities within or against Venezuela without congressional authorization. And they have met with John Phelan, secretary of the Navy to voice their concerns and they were assured that the SECNAV would be in contact with Capt. David Skarosi captain of the USS Gerald R. Ford to get clarity of its function where it has been deployed and that no settings that belongs to US congress was transgressed upon.” It seems a lot clearer when there is a connection to a chain of command and not some speculative setting in the hands of three whomever they are and not part of the Naval hierarchy. Did I oversimplify that setting, I apologise? 

Then we get the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/02/trump-threatens-strikes-drugs-venezuela) giving us ‘Trump threatens strikes on any country he claims makes drugs for US’ where the Guardian starts of with “Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that any country he believes is making drugs destined illegally for the US is vulnerable to a military attack.” Is that is true, why pardon a president drug ‘champion’ who is serving 45 years? It’s not too weird a question, is it? Followed by “The exchange with reporters followed a lengthy cabinet meeting at which Trump and Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, moved to put the responsibility with a navy admiral for the extrajudicial killing of two survivors of an attack on an alleged drug smuggling boat in September.” So whilst the flim flam bickering is going on, others have clear questions, in the first degree what the United Nations is doing with the half baked answers given from there. It seems that they are more motivated attacking the defense of Israel then the alleged upcoming invasion of Venezuela. 

And other places like OtherWords (at https://otherwords.org/trumps-aggression-toward-venezuela-should-be-setting-off-alarm-bells/) is seeing the same settings evolve, a piece by Farrah Hassen. Although, her piece has issues we are given “Meanwhile, the USS Gerald R. Ford is stationed off the coast of Venezuela and Trump has ordered the CIA to conduct covert operations inside the country. And he declared on November 29 that the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela is “to be closed in its entirety.”” How does she know what orders the CIA has received, does she have a source? In addition, she gives us “A secret Department of Justice memo has gone so far as to name fentanyl as a “chemical weapon threat” from these “drug boats.” But neither U.S. nor international assessments have found that Venezuela is a primary producer or international shipment point of narcotics, including fentanyl.” So how does she have access to secret memo’s? The part that is interesting is “neither U.S. nor international assessments have found that Venezuela is a primary producer or international shipment point of narcotics, including fentanyl” it is interesting because Venezuela is right next to Colombia, a known source of drugs. So is anyone considering the data involved or are we all happy to blame AI for it all and give the statement ‘Oops’ afterwards?

There were. Few more issues, but it is important to give you these two as news sources seem to copy each other and slip in a few statements by not so high ranked sources. And in this political minefield, it is important to get as clear as possible and It doesn’t get any higher than military sources. They tend to not lie, an important side setting as I see it.

This Venezuela setting has all the trademarks of a bay of pigs setting, but here the centre chess piece is a stage of 1000 years of crude oil, a setting America desperately needs. Are we ready to go to war with a world because America cannot control its budget? Have fun with that one.

Have a great day today and let’s see if we can avoid war in the next 24 hours.

The land of what?

That is the setting we start with. You see, yesterday, the only things I knew of Venezuela was that the capital was Caracas, at some point a man named Chavez was in charge and that this place has oil and that was all. So what is President Trump aiming for? 15,000 troops and the largest aircraft carriers as well as a few dinghy’s are now ‘patrolling’ the seas, right by Cuba? This is an overreaction of the largest degree. It is like calling for the National guard when you learn that a piece of cheese is missing from your kitchen. So, what kind of posturing did Trump offer in assistance to the Ukraine? So I decided to take a look, especially as we see YouTube videos with that overgrown Armada showing as it is playing Thunderstruck by ACDC (which is a massive impediment of national security in any naval setting ahead of a military operation), as such it is posturing. But why?

Well, apparently in 1990, Gary B. Sidder wrote ‘Mineral occurrences of the Guiana shield, Venezuela’, he did so for the United States department of the interior geological survey, according to that report Venezuela is a fountain of rare minerals having a decent collection of Gold, Diamonds, Aluminum, Manganese, Tin, Niobium, Tantalum, Molybdenum, Uranium, Titanium, Platinum and a few more minerals as well as oil. So what is this about?

You see, as I see it, between now and next July (2026) we see the maturity of bonds, $66B, $40B, $70B, $33B and $47B, making the rough total $256,000,000,000 due and at present (as I personally see it) America doesn’t have that cash, so either America starts a Ponzi scheme creating more debt to pay off this debt or hope that over 90% is set in new treasury bills and that requires serious talks and serious payments to these outstanding debts, optionally roughly 2% over the amount now guaranteed. America is that deep in debt. They couldn’t get Canada or Greenland and now war is the only option for America and its president who was pleading for a Nobel peace plan. Isn’t that hilariously sarcastic? 

So could I be wrong?
That is the first question is ask myself and I am not debating that Venezuela might be the tyrannical setting some claim it is, but the actions of a less then upstanding politician shows a side that is likely less then noble. His lack of actions against Russia, his outstanding setting towards our brother Canada is presumed evidence of this. And as we are also given that “The proven oil reserves in Venezuela are recognized as the largest in the world, totaling 300 billion barrels” is another reason why I am seeing President Trump as the guilty party in this. The invoices are due within 8 months and America is desperate for revenue. After they botched their tourism, tariffed his ‘friends’ to be now less than that and as he lost defence contracts all over the field America is now desperate for revenue. Yes, it is not a good story. 

In this 9 News (Australia) gives us (at https://www.9news.com.au/world/donald-trump-news-usa-venezuela-oval-office-meeting-amid-growing-questions-about-his-military-moves/11240690-4124-4eeb-91a4-f623fe5a9ab9) ‘Donald Trump to hold Venezuela Oval Office meeting amid growing questions about his military moves’ where we see “US President Donald Trump will hold a meeting at the White House on Monday evening about next steps on Venezuela, sources familiar with the matter told CNN, as the administration intensifies its pressure campaign on the country and questions mount about whether the military is exceeding its lawful authority.” With in addition ““President Trump has been quite clear in his defence of the United States homeland, to stop these illegal narcotics from coming to our borders, whether that’s by land or by sea,” Leavitt said. “He’s also made it quite clear that he wants to correct the wrongs of the weaponised Justice Department under the previous administration.”” And do you really need the USS Gerald R. Ford, several ships and 15,000 troops to stop illegal narcotics? I have my doubts as do several others. I don’t care of these drug dealers, stop them in any way, but to set out an Armada that outshines the Spanish Armada of 1588 is an overreaction of the largest manner and as such I think that America’s Trump is trying to secure his rare materials and oil for the continued salvation of America, not the freedom of Venezuela. 

Then we get the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93n4nx5yqro) giving us ‘Why is Trump threatening Venezuela’s Maduro?’ With the setting of “The Trump administration has doubled the reward for information leading to Maduro’s capture, and its warships are within striking distance of Venezuela. Dozens of people have been killed in attacks on boats alleged to have been transporting drugs from the South American country.” Even the BBC resorts to ‘alleged’ in all this. I reckon that evidence that these are drug boats is limited to presentation and assumption, but I al willing to accept that setting, but why would you need 15,000 troops? With the additional “Trump reportedly also gave Maduro an ultimatum to leave Venezuela, in a phone call the two men had on 21 November.” So another threat, how did that go over with President Putin? I honestly do not know who ‘evil’ President Maduro is and perhaps he is evil, but in all this how is this some operation Freedom? To set these oil reserves to America? And the rare minerals and in all this António Manuel de Oliveira Guterres, the 9th Secretary-General of the United Nations is as useless as he seemingly is presented to be. So where is his outcry over the rights of Venezuela? Even if he was doing that, he allegedly never spoke out AGAINST Venezuela either, and if he did, why isn’t every newspapers repeating that setting? 

Then we get the one issue that holds weight “In 2024, the electoral council declared Maduro the winner of the presidential election, even though voting tallies collected by the opposition suggested that their candidate, Edmundo González, had won by a landslide.” That does count, but we see this now? It might have been said in the past, but there is a sight to see this in the end of the article, not in a running start at the beginning and now in several news casts clearly outlined. And then? Why is President Trump now so about fairness, all whilst he was supporting Putin in his fight against Ukraine? As I see it, there might be an issue with Maduro, but that is as I see it, not the part that interests President Trump. 

So then we get the part that also matters. We are given “Without providing evidence, Trump has accused Maduro of “emptying his prisons and insane asylums” and “forcing” its inmates to migrate to the US. Trump has also focused on fighting the influx of drugs – especially fentanyl and cocaine – into the US. As part of his war on drugs, he has designated two Venezuelan criminal groups – Tren de Aragua and Cartel de los Soles – as Foreign Terrorist Organisations and has alleged that the latter is led by Maduro himself.” It is the ‘Without providing evidence’, we need to take heed here. He goes on his tantrum fentanyl setting and after he accused Canada, that setting is losing steam fast. I am not saying that it is not the case, but there is more than one piece of evidence that President Trump is taking a lose translation towards the setting of honesty, he did this all himself. All the evidence is setting that stage of doubt in all our minds.

Last there is CNN who (at https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/01/americas/venezuela-allies-diplomacy-us-military-caribbean-latam-intl) gives us ‘Venezuela’s Maduro lost two allies in a week. What regional partners does he have left?’ Giving us a political setting of other nations and the other sides are gaining strength and as such they are not aligning with Maduro. This happens, but what surprised me is that NONE of these news cycles made mention of the large oil reserves, it is seemingly a topic out of bounds with them and I would have seen this as a first stage in all this, because that is giving President Trump the reason to get the USS Gerald R. Ford, several ships and 15,000 troops involved, because securing those would be a clear setting for President trump and no one is asking the question that is out in the open. This is why I oppose this setting. An event done for a corrupt reason belittles that event, no matter how just it is. I know it does not make much sense, because the sales person in all of you thinks that the result justifies the means used and that just isn’t true, because the people on that setting have their own agenda’s and greed is too easy a reason to corrupt the foundation of these people and America is too deep in debt, it passed a debt level of 38 trillion last week. So even as I wrote ‘About America, chapter 11’ on August 26th 2014 (over 10 years ago, at https://lawlordtobe.com/2014/08/26/about-america-chapter-11/) it seems that this setting of ‘impeding bankruptcy’ is a lot more real than it ever was before and there is little that America can do to avoid it. They can play the funny card, delay reports on GDP and a few other, but Wall Street has been keeping score and America is showing too little (according to Wall Street) at present, you can fool some people all of the time, you can even fool all of the people some of the time, however you can never fool all of the people all of the time and that setting is now being reached where too many are asking loud questions and as far as I can tell, the blonde in the press office of the White House (Karoline Leavitt) can only do so much and as the world is starting to ask serious questions, her role has been played out as much as it can. Soon we will see a new spokesperson to try and gain credibility towards the press corps, I reckon that as it becomes harder and harder to protect a president of this setting, there is the world view that will be coming into focus and as such America is done for. As far as I can tell no one will be trusting America any day soon and there is plenty of evidence that most are likely to engage into trade deals with China over America, when that happens America might likely and up with one unlikely ally, namely Russia. Lets see how that pans out, shall we?

So feel free to doubt me, but feel free to validate this data with your own research and feel free to present evidence of that. I am not the one saying that my version is correct, but the absence of evidence in several ways are giving me a rather large chance that I am correct.

Aftermath

That is a setting I never really contemplated, but the Guardian did and they did a terrific job, they even had a reference to the 49’ers, which will make Jeremy Renner happy. The article ‘The question isn’t whether the AI bubble will burst – but what the fallout will be’ by Eduardo Porter (at https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/01/ai-bubble-us-economy) hands us a few sides, a few I never considered as I was looking at the techno stuff, but here we see: “300,000 people flocked there from 1848 to 1855, from as far away as the Ottoman Empire. Prospectors massacred Indigenous people to take the gold from their lands in the Sierra Nevada mountains. And they boosted the economies of nearby states and faraway countries from whence they bought their supplies.” 

Which gives root to the expression 49’er and it continues giving us “Gold provided the motivation for California – a former Mexican territory then controlled by the US military – to become a state with laws of its own. And yet, few “49ers” as prospectors were known, struck it rich. It was the merchants selling prospectors food and shovels who made the money. One, a Bavarian immigrant named Levi Strauss who sold denim overalls to the gold bugs passing through San Francisco, may be the most remembered figure of his day.” 

And then we get the first sliver “How else to explain Nvidia’s stock price, which more than doubled from April to November, based entirely on the expectation, nay hope, that AI will produce a super-intelligence that can do everything humans do but better. Nvidia – like Levi Strauss back in the day – is at least selling something: computer chips. The valuations of many of the other AI plays – like Open AI or Anthropic – are based largely on the dream.” 

But there is a missing cog, this technology needs dat storage and that is where I saw the failing of others and the failings of those overlooking data technologies. Oracle is intrinsically connected to that, Azure needs it, Snowflake prefers it and pretty much every data vendor is connecting to Oracle to get it all done in the background, and that is the sliver. Oracle is intrinsically connected to it all and it is the tamer of the data beast or better stated the data demon. As Oracle brings out tools and optionally data settings within their AI storage settings to handle validation and verification, all others will need to adhere better and deeper to the Oracle foundation to even survive. Pretty much all the sources that see the dangers of what some call AI and is clearly nothing better than a DML/LLM engine will see that these two elements are essential to get the LLM engine to do anything that matters and that is where the bonus of Oracle currently resides (as I presumptuously see it) To show this, I will take you back to 1984

See here, this is what chess computer’s looked like. You press the chess piece you want to move and you push the square where it lands. That is the foundation of the chess computer. In the ‘underground’ of that chessboard are (figuratively speaking) two chips. One had the knowledge of chess, the second chip (mainly memory) has every chess match known to mankind (basically all games all grandmasters have ever played), the program sees what moves are made and that setting is translated to a ‘position base’ and it will look at all the matches who it can foresee what moves are coming. This is great for the player, as it now needs to make an illogical move to throw over the thinking of the computer and make it their bitch. This was pretty much the fist stage of Machine Learning and as todays computers are more clever, there resolution is no way better, It can only set foundation of what it learned, that is the simplicity of knowing that AI doesn’t yet exist.

So back to the story “As I pointed out in my last column about AI, Gita Gopinath, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, calculated that a stock market crash equivalent to that which ended the dot-com boom would erase some $20tn in American household wealth and another $15tn abroad, enough to strangle consumer spending and induce a recession.” And I have no way of knowing that setting, but as I see it, like Levi Strauss and the makers of bubbles (like in image one) someone has to supply the soap water and more important the jeans to not put once ass out to frolic and in that second setting Oracle comes in and even as I see the ‘panic drivers, saying that Oracle is dangerous’, there is another setting. Whatever comes out of this, whatever survives, most only survives on Oracle solutions. And that is what is left unspoken. Should Oracle add the Validation and Verification tables, they will be the only one raking in the gold when True AI comes, because it is not merely the missing part I discussed earlier, someone needs to set the record straight on what is optionally to be trusted and that is where Oracle sets the mark.

Which leads to “AI could produce a similar landscape. A critical determinant is how much debt is at stake. It wouldn’t be such a problem if the bubble were financed largely from the cash pile of Alphabet and Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook. They might lose their shirt, but who cares. The worrying bit is that it seems they are increasingly relying on borrowing, which means the prospect of a bursting bubble would again put the financial system at risk.” These systems are using the data as currency, as I see it, Oracle is putting its technology up for usage and that is a pretty safe way to do this. This is whyI have faith in Oracle, that is why I see Oracle as the one surviving the goldfish like a champion, because they are doing what Levi Strauss did. These data vendors are relying on data to clothe them, but if that data is not properly managed, they end up having nothing. Yes, Microsoft will survive, but at a level that is likely 2 trillion lower than it is now. And that is mainly because it wanted to be on top of things and they got (I think it was) 24% of OpenAI, but as that bursts, Sam Altman will have even less than I have now (and I am ridiculously poor) and that cargo train of debt will hit Microsoft square in the face, Oracle will get some damage, but not nearly as much and the world will need their data solutions. Why do you think everyone wants to connect to Oracle? It is the Rolls Royce of data collecting and data storage. And that is perhaps the only issue with that article, there is zero mention of Oracle.

So as we get “Big Tech has raised nearly $250bn in debt so far this year, according to Bloomberg, a record. Analysts at Morgan Stanley suggest that debt will be needed to fill a $1.5tn funding gap to ramp up spending on data centers and hardware. Problematically, it is getting hard to follow the money, as Nvidia, Open AI and others in the ecosystem buy into each other, clouding who, in the end, will be left holding the bag.” And there is one think wrong with this. Stargate is said to be $500bn, so there is a gap in all this and I reckon that the damage will be significantly worse, that is beside the small non mentioned fact that America at present has 5,427 data centers, how many of them and to what degree are they all set to ‘their version of AI’? So what is set in what some call Blue Owl solutions (like Meta) and what happens when those solutions ‘bubble out’ (collapse might be a better phrase) so when that happens, how much damage will that bring, because as I see it (not wearing glasses) the $1.5tn funding gap won’t even be close what is required. But that is just me speculating, so feel free to (I insist) that you get your own verifiable numbers. I reckon that between now and 2029 the return of a backlogged $4 trillion return on investment is required. So taking “a banks perspective”, an inaccurately amount of $292,500,000,000 in revenue needs to be shown for that bubble not to come and that is out of the question, but the setting that Eduardo Porter gives us, is what comes next and he gives it to us as “the Superhuman – can only come about by dropping LLMs – which are essentially massive correlation engines – and switching to something else called a world model architecture, where machines develop a “mental” model of the outside world.” It is a nice sentiment, but I do not completely agree with that. Correlation engines have their use and there is use in a DML/LLM setting, but identify it as such, not claim ‘AI does it’. Because it won’t and it can’t, but there are options in Oracle to upgrade the data you have and that is instrumental in surviving this bubble burst. And I have seen the folly in several places and that might set a better station down the road, because when true AI cones, it still needs data and if that data was managed, validated and verified in Oracle (preferably), half the war of that solution bringer is solved. 

So I need a different hobby, slapping Microsoft and AI evangelists is nice, almost a public service but I need a new idea for gaming IP, because that makes me happy and I like feeling happy. So whilst some think that “Nvidia, Open AI and others in the ecosystem buy into each other” is the hard core evil stuff (and it might be) there is a setting it reminds me of, it was in the 90’s and these ‘consultants’ were all into the need of funny money in the form of assignments, the issue was that when they had to show results they immediately took another job and took their ‘knowhow’ to greener shores and all the time this happened the shores were all becoming less and less green. This has the flair of that setting and to some degree the feel. 

I might be wrong on that last part, but that is what I feel on this, especially as the big players are buying into each others solution and handing each other pieces of paper that in the end has as much value as a roll off toilet paper.

It might not be eloquently phrased, but there is a time for that and this is not it, as speculated shit is about to hit the walls and if you are lucky it happens after Christmas (that is almost certain) but in the end, the invoice is due and that is where the CFO’s will show that as they embraced the Blue Owl solution, their company is saved. I would depend on and side with whatever Oracle has, it is not based on facts, it is a feeling and that feeling is strong at present. And in support I see (9 minutes ago) ‘Ooredoo Qatar announces strategic partnership with Oracle to deploy Oracle Alloy sovereign cloud and AI platform’, they didn’t go towards Microsoft, AWS of a few other settings, they trust Oracle and that is what plenty of others need to do.

Have a great day, I am now 8 hours from midweek, not a bad deal for me today and as the sun is shining brightly, I might hide in a winterly Hogsmeade whilst playing Hogwarts Legacy. Gaming is not a bad hobby to have in this case. Because the bubble is out of my control and I am happy to watch it all explode a day later (of whenever that is), most of the garnish news has been drowned out by real news at that point.
