What The Actual Fuck

That was the first thought that I had when US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra opened his mouth again. Then again, his lifetime service ends in 1089 days, so Canada survive his term for another three years? So what brought this about? Well, CBC gives us (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/norad-canada-us-f35-9.7059800) ‘NORAD pact would change if Canada pulls back from F-35 order, warns U.S. ambassador’ where we see “and would fly them more often into Canadian airspace to address threats approaching the U.S.” what does that flagrantly inappropriate piece of (whatever he is) think he is by violating Canadian airspace without consent of the Canadian government? A case might be made on Changing NORAD, they are usually too busy tracking Santa Claus with their systems, making these systems active one day a year. But to give Canada the setting that we  are given that “Ambassador Hoekstra describes the current defence relationship as “awesome,” but says such interventions by the U.S. military over Canada would increase if Canada does not increase its purchase of F-35s beyond the 16 currently on order.” And the setting that America has any input in HOW MANY and which airplanes come the Seraglio of the United States (their new nickname) is beyond his seat and beyond his entitlement (as I personally see it). So when I see “U.S. President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada is warning of consequences to the continental defence pact if Canada does not move forward with the purchase of 88 F-35 fighter jets.” I feel entitled to loosely lose it. Canada is making his requirement known and it is THEIR opinion that the Saab JAS 39 Gripen can do the job as the choice for Canadian defence, that is up to the people who are empowered (in Canada) to do so, not for the White House, or are the losses that the White House enacted over themselves no longer paying for the electricity bill? You know that stuff that is coming from Canada and now comes with a 100% tariff?

In this light I would personally offer the setting that the 88 F-35’s are an option when it comes with a 63.4% discount, but then it would still be up for Minister Mélanie Joly and Minister David McGuinty to give that go ahead, but in no way is there any acceptance that this is up to American Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, or to even suggest that USA planes fly into Canada (without permission) and take optionally seen as hostile actions. And as NORAD is also in Alaska, there is enough time for the Canadian air force to take positive actions before there is an actual issue on United States soil. 

So even as the article in CBC ends with ““That’s crazy. We’re not a threat,” said Hoekstra.” I would like to add “Not we, you are the threat Ambassador Hoekstra” and you better realise that really soon before you run your mouth again in anti-Canadian outbursts, as the selling through threats of buying airlines to counter invasion tactics, it shows the ‘craft’ level of a lousy second hand car salesman and Canada made its choice when it selected the Saab to do the job at  25% of the cost and perhaps it was partially selected because your boss ran his mouth with those ‘51st state’ remarks. So at present there are concerns that the United States needs to sell at least 105 F-35 airplanes to counter the setting of “US Treasury bonds experienced a significant sell-off, with yields on 10-year notes reaching 4.3% and 30-year yields touching 4.9%. This surge in yields, the highest since September 2025, was driven by concerns over potential trade wars with Europe and geopolitical tensions. Foreign investors hold roughly 31% ($9.4 trillion) of US debt, and some European entities have signaled a re-evaluation of their holdings.” It comes with the unconfirmed information from a source that Goldman Sachs had sold over 800 billion in bonds. I only had one source and no validation of this, not with the SEC (who had over 4200 documents of actions by Goldman Sachs), but it might not be easy to find as 800 billion+ implies that the United States and its dollar are pretty much done for, not something you want to herald to the media. And I was ready to reject it, but in comes Ambassador Pete Hoekstra making demands that Canada takes a 100% of the 88 Lockheed Martin dinky toys (could be corgi toys), now that lose statement of sold bonds seems a little too ‘conveniently’ out there. But there is another setting, since when does any government bully its way to the purchase line with an overpriced drone that requires a pilot? So, are you feeling the animosity yet Ambassador Hoekstra? And I am a mere Australian, but that makes me a Commonwealthian and one that stands with its Canadian brothers (sisters too). You seemingly forgot that you are merely boasting towards Canadians, but as it stands you are offending Australians (aka Aussies), New Zealanders (aka Kiwi’s) and the United Kingdom (aka Britons) as well. As such you might want to pick up your book ‘101 ways for being clever in diplomacy’ up again, you might have looked into that in your first year in addressing negotiation, international relations, and conflict resolution. Optionally books given to you by UNITAR, but that is mere speculation by me. 

And perhaps you want to point pout where you can do such a thing as the 11 principles that govern NORAD include (as 6th principle) “No permanent change of station for forces under NORAD control can occur without national authority approval.” Or even principle 11 which gives us “The agreement includes provisions for review or renewal (originally set for 10 years).” When exactly is that renewal due? I might be foggy on this part. So exactly who is in charge of NORAD? We are given “The Commander and Deputy Commander will not be from the same country; appointments require approval from both nations.” So when did you discuss this matter with General Gregory Guillot of the United States Air Force? Or perhaps his deputy (which I personally doubt) which is General Iain S. Huddleston of the Royal Canadian Air Force. And perhaps you might want to refresh my mind on where it stands what flying materials each player brings to the NORAD table. As I stated, I might be foggy on that part and in this the media is no help at all.

But I reckon you know all this because you opened your mouth and as such you would have reviewed the materials before speaking. It might be an incorrect view on the matter but don’t several diplomacy books tell the diplomat to any table prepared for what is to come? Sun Tzu (not a diplomat) tells us that victory is secured through meticulous preparation and strategic calculation before a battle begins. And as you entered that field speaking, I gathered that you would have been prepared for that and as such you would have familiarised yourself with the doctrine of NORAD. Was I right?

So you all have a great day and as I stood up for my Canadian brethren (sisters too) I feel great and I am now 150 minutes from breakfast, so I feel good. Especially as I feel the urgent urge for coffee at this time.

Counterpart of the equation

I saw something this morning that made me giggle. The Sydney Morning Herald (at https://www.smh.com.au/business/banking-and-finance/trump-sues-america-s-biggest-bank-and-its-billionaire-ceo-20260123-p5nwep.html) gives us ‘‘Blacklist’: Trump sues America’s biggest bank and its billionaire CEO’ where we see “President Donald Trump sued JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its billionaire chief executive officer, Jamie Dimon, for at least $US5 billion ($7.3 billion) over allegations that the lender stopped offering him and his businesses banking services for political reasons.” Like a toddler crying that mommy isn’t giving him a popsicle. I personally believe that there is another reason, but that is not how President Trump flies. No, his ego isn’t ready for that yet. Although should the EU collectively dump the US treasury bonds they have he will cry different tune. I was aware of the danger for over 12 years, but David Kelly at JP Morgan gave us (around January 9th) that the USA is going slowly broke and the tantrums that President Trump has been handing out all over the place doesn’t help. Tourism down, Commerce down, services basically gone and that list goes on. So as I see it, what was ‘defined’ as “going broke slowly” might not be so slow anymore. And now we suddenly see that “the lender stopped offering him and his businesses banking services”, I have my doubts. You see, when a customer comes in one bank and that bank states you aren’t welcome anymore that person should state “I’ll take my business across the street”, the fact that President Trump isn’t doing that shows a much larger play that he is preparing for. You see, when the American economy implodes he needs to have all his fish on land. First there was the BBC, then The New York Times and Penguin Random House and that list goes on, as such there is more than a ‘theme’ going on President Trump sees what is coming and he wants to sleep in utter luxury but as I see it, whatever he has in America would become cannon fodder overnight. And for me it is optionally great. When certain players see what Microsoft, Amazon, Google and a few others left lying on the floor. The optional come in (I personally hope Tencent will be among them) as such (as I personally see it) the station of utter BS given to us all by the American administration where I particularly like the quote given to us by Scott Bessent “the U.S. is unconcerned by Treasury sell-off over Greenland and calls Denmark ‘irrelevant’” and the was for $100 million, but the EU has over $2.8 Trillion and that will require a very different response, but as I see it, no one is ‘handling’ President Trump, to the chance of Europe dumping whatever bonds they have is becoming considerable. Then there is the offshoot that Japan will dump the $1.2 trillion bonds they have and vice versa. Should Japan dump whatever bonds they have as the setting for Japan is seemingly more dire than they ever faced, Europe is sure to follow. So as I see it, the American Administration is roughly in a tough spot. As I see it, President Trump pushed for the visibility that JP Morgan Chase is gaining partially due to the underlying setting of David Kelly. What a tangled web we weave ourselves, innit?

So the first question I have for myself is “Could I be wrong?” The answer is yes, definitely. But ask yourself, why does President Trump go for the suing procedure when he could have taken his business across the street of Wall Street towards Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Barclays, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Evercore, Lazard, Jefferies Group, Wells Fargo, BNP Paribas. With that many banks with service in the offering, why take the ‘suing’ route? Political ‘discord’ has existed in financial institutions for decades. As such my path makes a lot of sense (is it enough?). And as it was JP Morgan who alerted us to the ‘broke’ setting the path of suing makes also sense. It comes across as “I warned you not to illuminate our desperate standing” even though I already saw this setting come to the United States in 2013 and the path of Venezuela and Greenland merely sugarcoated the desperate setting the United States is under. For that matter, when this is brought to light be decent journalists the rest of the financial media is pretty much done for. I saw as a non-economist what these overpaid people did not? It will be less then a month when others start screaming the names of the involved stake holders. As such it will be quite the parade and the United States? I reckon that as their infrastructure will implode, it will face a full scale civil war like the Netherlands faced it in the hundred year war (it was part about poverty, hunger and the plague, it went from 1337 until 1453) it wasn’t a complete staged war, but several battles in a short term and it was the daily setting for close to 5 generations. That is what the United States is looking towards and with the weapons we have now, it will be a lot shorter, but the deaths will be on an increasing scale. And as I see it, President Trump sees what is coming, and with the friends he has, he needs to be certain he gets the amount of money so that he can outlast three generations and there is not much place for him outside of America, so he needs to be certain that he gets what he believes he is worth, the best he could hope for in Russia (pretty much his one ally) is a two bedroom flat somewhere in the MKAD (Moscow Ring Road) is pretty much all he can get and as such he needs another option. Perhaps he will go the way of Escape from New York, where the entire island of Manhattan becomes his personal prison, population 3. It isn’t realistic, but any person can dream can’t they?

So whatever the real reason that gave JP Morgan and Jamie Dimon got them their ‘blacklisting’, I have questions and I have doubts. Suing is just so over the top. What would happen if I sue Telstra in Australia as they didn’t want me as a business customer? No matter how valid their reasons were, Australia has Optus, Vodafone, NBN, Aussie Broadband, Superloop, Dodo, Exetel, Swoop, AGL, Origin and that list goes on for a while. The entire America settings feels wrong. And that is merely my view on the matter.

Have a great day today, it’s Friday (yay).

Is the media at fault?

That was going through my head as I looked at an article by Sky news which was an astonishing 53 words (and a video), including the 6 words for “Sky News US Analyst Michael Ware” It’s scary but here it is. (At https://www.skynews.com.au/world-news/global-affairs/donald-trump-is-deadly-serious-about-greenland-takeover/video/d24dd0c9d8d3f3642e98b506d29fe686)

In the meantime, someone is making cash out of the new European slogan (at least I think it is European) with

So President Trump is serious about the takeover and I still think it is because America is running out of money and it will hit a devestational setting before he gets out of the Oval Office. That is perhaps the only reason why he is worried, he would love to hand that to the Democrats and blame them for everything, but the truth of the matter is that the debt was handed down from every president passed after President Clinton. He was the last president with green ink on his fingers and there are all kinds of excuses to had down left, right and center, but All of them contributed to the current debt which is now over $38.4 trillion. It took 24 years of overspending to get to this and they all did their part. Now we are in a stage where the debt is so crushing that the United States of America has to invade Venezuela, steal their oil and now seemingly requires the annexation of Greenland to get a pass on the United States Credit Card. Don’t take my word for it, take the word of someone who gave you that news on January 7th “J.P. Morgan’s David Kelly warned this week that while America is “going broke” it’s doing so slowly enough that markets aren’t panicking yet.” I was on board with that setting with by October 4th 2021 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/10/04/utter-insanity/) when I wrote ‘Utter Insanity’, So I was on board before that, when I wrote an article in 2013. And the media messed it all? Ask your self how a non-economic can find that whilst the economics at the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, and many more papers missed all this? How about calling this (as the saying goes) clusterfuck to a media whoring for digital dollars and appeasing their ‘crowds’ before informing the audience. I have said it often enough, the media does nothing unless it is approved by the share holders, the stake holders and the advertisers. The audience is a distant 4th, not a good thought to entertain is it? Now we get the White House Dopey (as some call him) to scream National security and they are involving the one party who already has 70% of all rare earths (yes, that would be China) and Russia? Russia is being bitch slapped all over Europe by the Ukraine at present, as such they should not pose a challenging opponent, even without the United States assisting NATO. Only one publisher (Fortune) gave us that news in October 2025. As I see it, not one of these economic Dodo’s should ever attend a economic event until they did right by JP Morgan and David Kelly by illuminating the setting the United States are handing us. They are basically hiding war crimes (as I personally see it) and no bitchy “The stakeholder told us so” unless you give complete name and optional rank (read: corporation) settings attached to that person. Because some people seem to have forgotten: 

“Planning, preparing, initiating, or waging a war of aggression (starting a war) is considered a “crime against peace,” a distinct but related category to war crimes, and is a grave violation of international law, often called the “supreme international crime””

So, who reported that in regard to the invasion of Venezuela? And where was António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations in all this, or the Greenland setting for that matter.

A nice stage the media created for us, whilst most of theme they are hiding behind ‘the people have a right to know’ it seems that this slogan goes missing in the fog where stakeholders are involved. So I put it to you bluntly, is the media to blame for the settings we see nowadays?

And whilst Europe is uniting together against the threats by President Trump, I still have to see these nations proclaiming they will dump their US Treasury bonds over this, with almost 3 trillion dollars in bonds. Interesting that no media set out that setting either, I came up with that several days ago, the United States left empty and without a solace and no bullets were required to counter that. The United States might have survived that, but the stretching of their Credit Cards would be brought to their utter limits, suddenly there would be no hiding behind anything. And whilst President Trump is boasting on his platform, those with money are getting out fast. And ‘now’ BlackRock CEO Larry Fink feels the market’s attention could soon shift toward the ballooning U.S. national debt. With U.S. debt now soaring over $38 trillion, Fink believes that markets are underestimating the moment when fiscal policy, not monetary policy, becomes a major problem. He gave us this 14 hours ago (at https://www.thestreet.com/investing/blackrock-ceo-delivers-blunt-warning-on-us-national-debt). 

As such I think that I have been on the right foot all along, because I saw this moment come in 2013, I wasn’t sure when, but the ‘none commission’ of countering that debt was clear. I advocated that the rewriting of tax laws was required a quarter of a century ago (read: 25 years), it was before I started my blog, so there is that not for show. But the setting of a rewrite of tax laws was shown to be pretty much certain at that point and now the United States have nothing to show for their inactions of a quarter of a century, well they have their $38,400,000,000,000 debt, so they have something to show for it, but that merely gives a handle to the banks giving them that debt. 

As such I wonder if the media should be blamed for it all, if they disapprove, feel free to publish the stories you neglected over the years with clear mention of the stakeholders involved, they’ll definitely love that. So have a great day and consider all the things that the stakeholders of the media are withholding from you today, I need to prepare dinner. Still two hours until Vancouver makes it to today.

Vancouver, Canada, Larry Fink, BlackRock, the Street, US debt, United States, President Trump, Europe, US Treasury, President Clinton, NATO, Greenland, Russia, China, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, Venezuela, Sky news, Michael Ware, Fortune, David Kelly, JP Morgan,

The other direction

I have been upset for a few days as President Trump keeps on his bully horse and started to claim yesterday that those who oppose the annexation of Greenland will face tariffs. I don’t agree and I don’t accept that. But who am I? I am a nobody, my word doesn’t count. But I do have a sharp mind and I suddenly realized that there is another path for miners. You see, at present Discovery Alert gave us yesterday ‘Saudi Arabia Mining Investment: $110 Billion Plan Transforms Economy’, that I a noble setting and it allows miners who don’t like the Trump approach to Greenland to select another path. A nation that is using 110,000 million, is likely to have need for miners. The article (at https://discoveryalert.com.au/saudi-arabia-mining-investment-2026-critical-minerals/) gives us “The convergence of artificial intelligence expansion, renewable energy infrastructure, and digital transformation creates extraordinary pressure on mineral resources that were previously considered secondary commodities. This supply-demand imbalance fundamentally reshapes investment priorities, with institutional capital increasingly flowing toward jurisdictions that can deliver both resource security and operational efficiency. Against this backdrop, Saudi Arabia mining investment has emerged as a focal point for international attention, positioning the Kingdom as a strategic alternative to traditional mining powerhouses” also gives us “Geological surveys across the Arabian Peninsula reveal substantial untapped mineral deposits spanning multiple commodity classes. The Arabian Shield region, covering approximately 650,000 square kilometres, contains significant concentrations of both traditional mining commodities and critical minerals essential for energy transition technologies. These formations represent billions of years of geological activity that concentrated valuable mineral deposits across diverse terrains.

Recent exploration campaigns have identified promising zones for copper, gold, zinc, and rare earth elements. The geological diversity extends from volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposits to sediment-hosted copper systems, providing multiple exploration targets across different mineralisation styles. This geological complexity creates opportunities for diversified mining portfolios rather than single-commodity developments.” When you are mining over 650,000 Sq/km there is probably a need for more than a dozen miners and that is where these people not too savvy on Greenland as a destination, to select the warm beaches of Saudi Arabia (they have really large beaches). So when we see mentions like ‘Mining Diversification Strategy’ I reckon that they will need manpower before too long and doesn’t that suck for President Trump? A setting where people get to chose where to work. Its a brand new day. And this is in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, they don’t need to share anything with the USA, it is all for the kingdom. 

So while some people will ‘like’ to work and get into the good graces of President Trump. I foresee a larger play, especially when he is no longer in office (in 1099 days). I foresee a witch-hunt that we haven’t seen since Joseph McCarthy (1950) and this time it will be the democrats, so if you have a MAGA hat, you better play duck and cover, because it will be an uneasy time for any of these MAGA people, but beside that, all who catered to the needs of President Trump will be held under a loop and very precisely looked at. I don’t think that is right, but I get the sentiment behind this. So anyone with a different option would be in a decent place to accept whatever they can. And it is not just Saudi Arabia who is digging for rare earths, but they are the people with the coin and the area to explore. 

And that is not the only setting, as I see it, Saudi Arabia also has plans in the “Aluminium production, which requires reliable bauxite supplies and substantial energy inputs for smelting operations. Saudi Arabian bauxite resources combined with competitive energy costs create advantages for integrated aluminium production. This vertical integration captures value across the complete supply chain. Processing facility development emphasises environmental best practices and energy efficiency to maintain competitive positioning. Advanced smelting technologies reduce energy consumption while minimising environmental impacts. These improvements support long-term operational sustainability.” So as I see it, they will need more than miners. I reckon that plenty of jobs can be done by local Saudis, but some of the specialized people have a chance and they also need to train local population, so that comes (as I see it) with a second pay check, so in a time where the economy is bristling with dangers, Saudi Arabia could holding the better paycheck for people to consider. 

As I see it, the other direction is a lot more appealing in the long run, because as I see it, the American Administration doesn’t really think of the long run and I proved that with the previous article. 

So have a great day and I am almost at Sunday (a mere 150 minutes away). So enjoy today and if you are in Toronto, its almost Saturday Brekkie time, as such I wouldn’t mind being there and have another brekkie (then return to Sydney for a second breakfast).

A call to arms

That is at the foundation of my thinking. When I saw the news ‘Trump threatens new tariffs on countries opposed to Greenland takeover’ (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qpy952xvno), Al Jazeera gave nearly the same news, something cracked in me. I became agitated and as such something has to be done. We can threaten with arms, but my skill (beside a marksman) has always been my insight in data. And as Such I am calling the following persons to active duty of a sort.

United Kingdom, PM Keir Starmer, $888.5 Billion
Belgium, PM Bart De Wever, $481.0 Billion
Canada, PM Mark Carney, $472.2 Billion
Luxembourg, PM Luc Frieden, $425.6 Billion
France, PM Sébastien Lecornu, $376.1 Billion
Ireland, PM Micheál Martin, $340.3 Billion
Norway, PM Jonas Gahr Støre, $218.9 Billion
Germany, PM Friedrich Merz, $109.8 billion

There might be more, but they would fall under the ‘all other’ mention that the US Treasury has, it would be nice if China and Japan would stand with the EU and Nato, but they have their own ponds to worry about. But these people control $2.8868 Trillion in US Treasury bonds and with America now threatening those who stand with Denmark and Greenland with tariff sanctions, there comes a need to show that man who has the power and it is not him. As such I am kindly asking these people to sell (or dump) all the treasury bonds they have and give President Trump a decent headache of nearly 3 trillion dollars. 

I reckon that he will sing a very different tune soon enough. The entire setting of ‘national security’ is just an excuse for something else and I have voiced my concern more than once, but in this case it is a simple setting of “President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to place tariffs on nations that do not go along with his ambitions to annex Greenland.” And I feel for Denmark and as such it is time to turn the play around, because with additional trillions, America will get a new severe headache. One that they cannot run from because they never controlled their spending habit. I agree it is a bit much, but seeing that most of us are being made redundant whilst we see this happening and the media is going along with whatever story they are handed from the power players I a little bit too much for me, and as such I propose this solution. 

Perhaps this will wake up the American Administration into playing nice, there is only so much we are willing to accept. So have a great day, it is 05:30 here now and I am currently done with sleeping. It sucks to be me.

Consideration or realisation?

That is at times the question, because I was ‘informed’ of something I didn’t know (mostly because I don’t care) but it does set a different tone to other matters. We already knew that China is ‘market’ leader here, Some might have seen quotes no unlike this one “By the early 2020s, China accounted for roughly 70 percent of global rare-earth mining and more than 90 percent of processing and finished metal” some have seen this before and I am not vying for accuracy on this. I’ll accept it as is. So as America is so on the ball towards Greenland, the news I saw today has me stumped. We get from Discovery Alert (at https://discoveryalert.com.au/rare-earth-processing-saudi-arabia-2026-strategic-partnerships/) less than 12 hours ago ‘Saudi Arabia’s $1.5 Billion Rare Earth Processing Joint Venture’ with the added “The global rare earth elements sector stands at a critical juncture where supply chain concentration has created strategic vulnerabilities for advanced manufacturing industries worldwide. As dependencies on single-source processing capabilities intensify across defense, aerospace, and renewable energy sectors, alternative processing hubs have emerged as essential infrastructure for maintaining technological sovereignty. This analysis examines how new joint venture in Saudi Arabia for rare earth processing initiatives are reshaping market dynamics through strategic partnerships that leverage regional industrial advantages while addressing critical minerals energy transition needs.” Why would President Trump want to wage a losing war on the EU over Greenland? It is not national security, it seemingly is not about the rare earths, depending on what Greenland has and it does have diamonds there, but how much of that 3D carbon structure is there, I don’t know. And when the article comes to ‘Key Partnership Structures in Saudi Rare Earth Development’ we might get a clue. The agreement gives us: 

  • Equal stake joint venture arrangements with established industrial conglomerates
  • Long-term off-take agreements securing 25% of concentrate production from Greenland’s Tanbreez Project
  • Strategic alignment with U.S. defense procurement requirements
  • Integration with Saudi Vision 2030 economic diversification objectives

So is that it? You can see the roundup at https://www.criticalmetalscorp.com/projects/project-tanbreez/ and it gives us “The Tanbreez Rare Earth Project is an advanced, permitted asset poised to become a cornerstone in the global supply of rare earth elements (REEs) for North America and Europe. Positioned to deliver a sustainable, reliable, and long-term supply, this world-class project is set to meet the surging demand for critical minerals essential to national security, advanced technologies, defense systems, and the green energy transition.” Would it be THAT simple? The United States doesn’t want to share and doesn’t want Europe involved, so it does this? It gives my “America is broke” setting additional value, but does any nation want to go to war over this? It is an unspoken setting towards governmental greed and as far as I can tell the media is seemingly completely stumped on this. Now if these two sources are bogus, so is the mindset on this, but the second source has a whole range of ‘likable’ people completely with LinkedIn settings. As such how could the media have failed us all to this degree?

The second setting is Discovery Alert, if they are on the up and up or not. And it would be a fair question to ask this, but I have no idea and something this juicy I set in my blog. There is always the setting that they are the bamboozlers as such they can deal with the fallout that the Saudi government gives them as well as the Department of Justice. I am pretty sure that the White House is detesting to be used as a punching bag for any kind of media. 

But what if it is all true, how defining are these two documents on how broke The USA really is? Well first there was the debacle about the 51st state (Canada) and how great America’s healthcare really is (I still haven’t stop howling on that one as Canada’s healthcare is vastly superior), we then get all kinds of other reasons and Canada merely looks around and makes larger deals with Mexico, Seemingly the UAE, Europe and now China. So as I see it, Canada is coming out on top and the USA has a dwindling revenue setting. Then we get the Venezuela oil setting where the oil tycoon’s in the Unknown Settings of Avarice are bailing out as they don’t have the stomach to do this over there. I was of the mind to set up the refineries in Texas and ship all the crude to Texas for processing. It gives Texas the jobs, it gives America the revenue and you merely waste 2-3 tankers which will require intense scrubbing, but that is my oversimplified setting here. And after that we get the Greenland setting where ABC reported 10 hours ago ‘European troops won’t change Trump’s ambition for Greenland, says White House’, as such the question becomes is America that broke or is there something else going on? The two settings clash as I see it and as I see it, there is an unknown factor in the works, because no one is so mentally so unstable to take on Europe, especially as Europe is holding significant amounts of U.S. Treasury bonds (over $3 trillion in total debt, including the UK), viewing them initially as safe investments, but recent geopolitical tensions, especially regarding potential U.S. trade or foreign policy shifts and when Europe dumps those treasury bonds, the US debt rises to well over 40 trillion, because they cannot survive that setting. It will result in Japan and China dumping their bonds as well and the economy that the White House thought they had evaporates like snowflakes in a volcano. You can see that in action in Iceland, and they have a few other examples where snow evaporates really quickly. So I have to wonder as a non-economist, what am I not seeing? What more is there and what is the media keeping hidden (through embargo or other means). I wonder because I just saw a part being raised that I never considered before. I always keep in mind that I am missing something, but this is something the media should have reported on and I am not seeing anything on this. And come to think of this, why would someone mess with what is called “to deliver a sustainable, reliable, and long-term supply” I am grasping at straws here at present, because no-one wants a war with America, they won’t win but I have friends I Europe and It might be nice if they outlived me. And for that matter, my financial setting will not improve if the US dollar collapses because that is now also in the works.

Have a great day, it is almost Saturday brekkie time (in about 13 hours), so see you all for my next blog.

Price of oil now $15

Yup, saw it myself, a gallon of sunflower oil now $15, as such I wonder why President Trump is panicking? Any grocer has it, so why settle for Venezuelan oil? OK, he has the bankrupt stigma over his head, but that is on the administration. And in that regard the BBC piece (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c205dx61x76o) giving us the headline ‘Trump seeks $100bn for Venezuela oil, but Exxon boss says country ‘uninvestable’’ might not help him much. You know, I would have thought he would have investigated that BEFORE he put the lives of American soldiers in jeopardy. So when we are told “US President Donald Trump has asked for at least $100bn (£75bn) in oil industry spending for Venezuela, but received a lukewarm response at the White House as one executive warned the South American country was currently “uninvestable”.

Bosses of the biggest US oil firms who attended the meeting acknowledged that Venezuela, sitting on vast energy reserves, represented an enticing opportunity.” As such what did Chevron had to say? They were the one that were their in the first place. As such I reckon that the peaceful webcam of Nuuk might not be so peaceful for much longer. In that regard, was there really just one executive stating the uninvestable ploy? And one response was “Exxon’s chief executive Darren Woods said: “We have had our assets seized there twice and so you can imagine to re-enter a third time would require some pretty significant changes from what we’ve historically seen and what is currently the state.”” In all this I am a little surprised. I would have had that meeting beforehand. It kinda makes me wonder of the belle at the ball meeting a well hung man stating ‘What am I supposed to do with that?’ That is one of those moments when ‘hoping for the best’ will come across as having a cold shower as the first dish of the ‘entertainment of the evening’ it might come across as a little cold, but that is what it looks like. Everything over the last 2 weeks looks like an exercise of how not to do things in any corporate setting. Especially when you start eyeing 300 billion barrels. In my mind the first question I had was why didn’t Venezuela set that in motion? And for that matter where were these tankers going to? What solutions do they have to process that much oil? Those are the first questions I had two weeks ago, as such that oil meeting was like a marketing cold call. And there is a setting for off shore processing in this case even if America will buy the oil, it is a simple setting to adding a taximeter to that processing plant. As such this entire setting is one of bad preparation. It’s like the man expecting a smooth ride at a brothel asking the question ‘What exactly is herpes?’ Which gets us the comical setting that the lady of the house asks ‘You don’t have herpes, do you? I don’t want to get that again’ You might smile but the reactions that President Trump is invoking with reaction views that the Venezuelan oil industry is looking like a dud more and more at present. 

Then there is the setting that ABC is leaving us with ‘Donald Trump says oil executives will have ‘total safety’ if they invest in Venezuela’ Can they really? As far as I can tell, these places tend to react flammable to any RPG thrown their way and President Maduro has a large following that are still roaming the streets of Caracas. As such ill-prepared and reacting in the stage of ‘total safety’ whilst that would require over 100,000 boots on the ground in Caracas and that is likely to set a different tone to that equation. So as America is heading towards at least two fronts (Greenland and Venezuela), I wonder if he read the papers on Napoleon making the very same mistake in 1814. He should look at the works of Ridley Scott, especially his movie Napoleon (2023), he might learn something. I know it is much better to read ‘1812: Napoleon’s Fatal March on Moscow’ by Adam Zamoyski, but that might be seemingly too dry for him. 

These are a few insights one might need to reassess the insights that President Trump had last week as he was going to ‘fix oil infrastructure’, it seems that this meeting with the oil executives was one he needed to have before he made the claim to ‘fix oil infrastructure’. You know little things like that might fix his viewpoint in a more correct way beforehand. And I feel stupid for having to say this, but, no wait, I don’t have to the American Administration had to do this BEFORE they went in and stated that they were going against drugmakers. So how many drug houses were captured (call it freed) from Venezuela? And the ‘word’ is “Venezuela remains a major transit country for cocaine shipments via aerial, terrestrial, and maritime routes.” You see, in 1974 I learned (at the merchant navy academy) that transit means “conveyance of persons or things from one place to another. usually local transportation especially of people by public conveyance. a system engaged in such transportation.” So for the kiddies in the American administration, it means that merchant A ships goods B through Location C to Customers in location D. As such Venezuela is Location C, so the drugs are optimally only found in some ware house. So how many warehouses were captured with drugs? I failed to see that news. And when we get to the nasty setting that it was always about the oil. And as such that meeting the BBC raves on about should have been had at least 4 weeks ago and in all this the one who was there before (Chevron) is seemingly overlooked by all. What were their observation of Venezuelan oil processing? Little things like that. So are we getting the same failed narrative for Greenland and if it was about national security, what discussion were held over placing a base and a port in Greenland (or enlarge the port of Nuuk for Navy ships and perhaps a airfield for refueling options. So what ‘enlargements’ were planned for Pituffik Space Base? All questions that national security would have in the initial first instance and I see no reporting on that. But I reckon the news would have linked these settings like media coverage (e.g., Defense News), and internal DoD reports, all detailing military posture, strategy, budget, and operations, with the Secretary of Defense reporting to the President and Congress, and various agencies like the DIA and services providing intelligence and status updates. Perhaps the DoD was not entirely forthcoming on that, but they needed to have all the paperwork ready for this and I never saw anything on that. As such I get the feeling that Greenland is a simple resource grab to enlarge their credit portfolio. Nothing more and I reckon the this will anger Denmark, the EU, NATO and optionally Canada too. Most likely not in the order, but these elements are involved. All settings that the media would have been able to ask instead of getting the usual quotes (like) “Canada should become our Cherished 51st State” or my favourite, President Trump apparently said these words a week ago: “One Day, I Realized Nobody Was Coming to Save Me—So I Saved Myself” and it will become my favourite as he utters those words in the International Criminal Court in The Hague when he faces them, because there is 0% chance he will avoid that setting after the coming 1105 days. Whomever takes over the office will have such a mess to clean that they will hand him over in an instant act to relieve some of the pressures that successor faces on the global markets. In 1105 days he either find the correct amount to increase the Credit Card of the United States or Wall Street hands him over to anyone asking for him. This is of course massively speculative, but do you think I am wrong? The numbers don’t lie (they actually do, it is the interpretation that tends to be finicky) “Trump’s term low is 41% approval, which he first reached on Nov. 12. His disapproval also notched up to 56% on Nov. 19, a high for this term per the aggregator. As of Jan. 9, 2026, 43% approve and 55% disapprove, per the Times.” (Source: USA Today) As I see it, Wall Street will giftware him and Warren Buffet is likely to make the bow for the wrapping himself. And in all this he has ignored international law, just like Napoleon did and they gave him a hotel on Elba to relax. I don’t think President Trump is going to get that lucky. Too many are after him now and that list is getting more impressive by the day Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium (EU HQ, NATO HQ), Germany and a few more. To my knowledge Adolf Hitler was the last person to get this much personal attention of governments, not even Stalin pulled the one off. It might not be academic but it feels correct. 

Does it feel over emotional? No, I have merely attaching optionally non-related issues, because the Trump administration is making knee jerk corrections on something that should have been thought through BEFORE we had to watch the arrant pr President Maduro. Don’t get me wrong, as the details go he was seemingly a bad man, I have no doubt. But at what stage did that warrant America to go in and arrest him on the spot with a fleet of ships? When did America send the army into Iran and arrest Ali Khamenei, Supreme leader of Iran. Or perhaps Gustavo Francisco Petro Urrego, President of Columbia where the drugs seemingly come from. Where is that media snippet of reality? No, Venezuela was about oil and now it seems that it is seemingly as useful as horsepiss. (Quote from King Kong 1976, where the Petrox Corporation went in for oil too). As such it didn’t turn out that way and this example makes me wonder why the Trump Administration wasn’t ready for this. As such my idea for off shore processing and getting all oil tankers to go to an (optional) American location to process that oil might have been a better solution. I have no expertise in the Petrochemical industry, so I am going on a limb here, but to not explore that option on day one seems folly to me. So what shortcomings will we see when Greenland is up for ‘auction’?

Just my 2 cents of the matter and now it is time for brekkie, Have a great day all.

The view of a psychopath

That is in question and it is not on Trump or anyone else. It is the view of me. So as I ‘hide’ behind the numbers that the world shows, Am I the Psychopath? A case could be made that I might be a Psychotic sociopath or even a social Psychopath. All optional settings, but I need to investigate me, because the person who accuses all others from being nuts is mandatory required to investigate themself in that same process. We can go (at times) with everyone is nuts except me, but if you do not cross the t and dot the i you get an unbalanced equation and that equation is important in that setting and as such I investigate myself. 

In the past I have fervently given the setting that America is broke but the weird setting that no one else is saying that. OK, I found one voice, the voice of David Kelly (at JP Morgan) but is that enough? And the setting that the New York Times is giving us (at https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/us/politics/trump-interview-power-morality.html) is a nice handle to use. We are given ‘Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’’ where we see “President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.” Oh, we are given “use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations” and I am considering here that I am the psychopath? And for that matter, what president, king, or emperor is willing to forego international law? In what universe is that acceptable? I get that we get all the Saudi Arabia mentions, but Saudi Arabia is a monarchy and last I checked they are massively driven by Islam, and the Quran is their manifesto. It is a basic setting of morality, the morality of the Quran and I accept that. But for a western leader to say that he is forgoing international law is a stretch too far. So when the New York Times gives us “When asked what was his higher priority, obtaining Greenland or preserving NATO, Mr. Trump declined to answer directly, but acknowledged “it may be a choice.” He made clear that the trans-Atlantic alliance was essentially useless without the United States at its core.” We see an additional element of the setting that America is broke. It is willing to forgo NATO, even start a war with NATO all to get Greenland? Then we are given ‘Trump Considers Payments to Persuade Greenland Residents’ (source: Business Korea, Reuters has a paywall). As such as Greenland has 57,000 people, even at $1,000,000 each it would still be a bargain. But the American stinginess will come cropping up at some point. These are all actions of a broke nation. All in a setting where Wall Street is willing to remain silent so that they can remain in the party. That is at stake and no one seems to be realising this. And insight that I saw this moment come towards us 12 years ago, the fact that ‘at present’ it is arriving slowly is also important. It is important as the infrastructure will have been left to rot for years and that is before this generation get to collect their retirement and in 2030 the get the ‘last payment’ paper. Some will be only 60 years old. They will go through the rest of life owning nothing at all. That is coming and when others are in denial, I can wait. I will recall this message in 2035 and show the world how useless the economic media has been, they will not be allowed to say ‘it was for the good of Wall Street’ it will be the final straw of treason they face.  

So as I am investigating my psychotic setting, I feel that I have passed. As a psychopath I fail because I recognise the need for international law and as a sociopath I understand that other nations (like Saudi Arabia) have values etched in religion, not even my religion and I get that. So I fail twice over. But the New York Times gives us another person with the psyche that must be examined. So draw your own conclusions. And whilst your at it, why Is Canada, Venezuela and Greenland important? Anyone who has hit the limit of their credit card knows. You either have collateral that increases your value, or you find a stash of gold. The stash is found in Venezuela where they have the largest oil reserve in the world. It is not particularly useful, because that oil needs to be gotten and it is different from most oils. It has properties that makes it debatable, but the Guardian reports less than a day ago ‘Trump plans to use Venezuela’s huge crude reserves ‘to cut US oil price to $50 a barrel’’, do you actually think this will happen, or will he sell on and pocket that $10 per barrel for 30 billion barrels giving him the 300 billion to ease interest payments? And that is a simple setting, he might be in there years to vulture Venezuela as carrion eater for all the oil they can get. And that will take time and he is running out of time, so here comes Greenland with all its rare minerals and that gives America the leeway to let it run its creed and a little longer. But in the last setting he want Canada too, all this nations, not because of National Security, but because its credit card is running on empty and Canada is not budging and I for one am willing to aid Canada in its protection (the protection of Greenland too as the Queen of Denmark is originally Australian). So am I the psychopath of does that title fit another person better?

And in all this the economic editors of global news are now in the dock too, because I don’t have an economic degree and they do, so they should have seen this coming a mile away. ‘So whilst we are given ““Ownership is very important,” Mr. Trump said as he discussed, with a real estate mogul’s eye, the landmass of Greenland — three times the size of Texas but with a population of less than 60,000. He seemed to dismiss the value of having Greenland under the control of a close NATO ally. When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success. I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do, whether you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document.” The conversation made clear that in Mr. Trump’s view, sovereignty and national borders are less important than the singular role the United States plays as the protector of the West.” He actually ‘hid’ behind “protector of the West” the folly of men behind tariffs, behind the setting of the 51st state mentions, that is the protector of the west? Begging for a Nobel peace price attacked Venezuela in seemingly contraction of International law. I know I am not the most versed person in international law, but I see a few hitches showing up just like that. And now he is ready to go to war with NATO if other means do not work out for him. So how is that sane on any level? Oh and for that matter, where are the United Nations in all this?

As we consider all kinds of options, I also recognise that I am the only one seeing what others cannot see, in the end I am an actual psychopath and I recognize the other psychopath in the game. Perhaps that is a truth, but as I recognized international law and President trump was said to have given the New York Times “his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might”, so I might be okay, and there was the recognition of the Quran as a guiding principle for some nations. I fear that I failed the psychopath and sociopath test. Too my credit, I also failed the doctor test, I will apparently never be a doctor, so there is that.

Have a great day you all, I feel like the wicked witch of the west. It is 41 degrees in my room and I’m melting.

The accused speaks

Well, I have had an interesting day (so far), I have been accused of being anti-American and a whole range of other things (some of it on lacking evidence), so here goes.

First of all, I am not anti-American, I am heavily pro-Canadian, so there. Then there is the ‘alarmist’ accusation. That is fair, but it comes with certain evidence. In the first I gave you the source the Texas Standard where Matt Smith, lead energy analyst at Kpler gives us “So if we just consider U.S. production and Latin American production in Venezuela specifically, U.S. shale is light sweet crude. It is very high quality. Venezuelan crude is low quality, heavy sour crude. And U.S. gulf coast refineries have been geared towards running this Venezuelan heavy sour crude, Mexican heavy sour crude as well.” As such the few who can process this crude is Chevron for one (they were originally in Venezuela) and then we get Fortune telling us ‘President Trump stands ready to send U.S. Big Oil into Venezuela en masse, but the messy reality of rebuilding a ruined industry takes many years’ with the added “President Donald Trump says American Big Oil “want to go in so badly” into Venezuela and spend billions of dollars, but the reality is U.S. oil producers are hesitant, and it will take many years and many tens of billions of dollars to rebuild Venezuela’s decimated oil sector after the U.S forcibly removed and arrested leader Nicolás Maduro during a string of attacks on Jan. 3.” But as I see it, President Trump only has 1108 days left, so there will not be enough time, apart from Chevron optionally making a massive windfall (they were there first and they would know how to process the crude oil Venezuela has), so how is this an American setting? Because President Trump told us so. 

Then we get about America being broke. There is way too much evidence all around us. The issue is that you have to connect the dots yourself because the media does nothing that hurts their golden eggs. Now some claim I am making the wrong assumptions. That is fair, because I too can fail. And if you are relying on your whatever AI you use, you will fail, because I tend to work in multidimensional viewpoints and there is (as far as I know no AI that can do that), the programmer didn’t program it and as such it fails. One person even accused me of being a “a passionate, alarmist synthesis of 2026 events. It resonates in fringe discussions but lacks rigorous sourcing or nuance.” Really? That might be the case, but the media is actually no help at all and the setting of debt is clearly shown in numerous sources and so is the $1.2 trillion dollar interest bill. So what happens when 24% of the annual budget is taken all whilst America was unable to keep a budget for over 10 years? And now you have two make due with 24% less? That was before President Trump made trade-wars with Canada (aka Tariffs) and the rest of the world. As such Tourism was highly impacted and we are not getting the real numbers, especially when we see the claims of up around $6-$12 billion, all whilst some give us estimates of the total potential shortfall as high as $29 billion. And that was before some other elements are considered I came to up to $80 billion in the widest setting (like air B&B, temporary jobs for students and several other factors) where I saw as California and Florida being the hardest hit and in addition the Canadian winter geese who are at present shunning Florida. All elements that will be added burdens to the lack of revenue for America. And with these facts I came to the speculative conclusion that the Democrats are in on this. Because as I see it, the political field is all about blaming the other side, but now, the democrats remain silent, especially where Greenland is concerned. Why is that?

As it stands Marjorie Taylor Green has been more outspoken against President Trump than Hakeem Jeffries has been, How does that make sense? And I am willing to put that not on them but on the media and what they are not telling us. So what else is going on? Oh yes, I was ‘accused’ to “openness to partnering with China against U.S. “greed,” framing it as a “warlike Commonwealth” response.” What I actually said was “America needs to learn what a warlike Commonwealth can bring to the table. I still think that a partnership with China is preferred, but I get that this is politically a hammer to heavy to wield.” I countered the language of a bully with the response to a bully. Something that an AI is unlikely to decipher. And as Canada is optionally attacked as the 51st State, I find it acceptable to color the Commonwealth in an aggressive response. As I see it, the last time Australians were blood red eyed aggressive was in Gallipoli in 1915, so we (Australians) are due for another exercise, and an exercise to protect Canada is definitely a worthy one. 

So it is fair to see me emotional, but the emotions that president Trump gave is all are massively aggravating. So I feel justified in my emotions. 

So in other news there are the Horizon games (yes I am changing subject). The third Horizon game is seemingly planned for 2027-2028. And might be a launch title for the PS6. Which is claimed, I have no idea when that thing comes to market. But I was thinking as it would be fair to see the PS6 with a 4KHD drive, there might be a case to launch the game with all three games upgraded for PS6. Disc one would be Zero Dawn/Frozen Wilds  and Forbidden West/Burning Shores and disc 2 would hold the third game. As Zero Dawn was released in 2017 it would be a 10th anniversary release. A game that almost every Sony gamer would want and to play them all (likely after the third game) would be one hell of a journey. I reckon that many non Sony gamers will buy the PS6 merely for that option. Just an idea I was having. I am currently replaying Forbidden West and I am still in awe of the entire journey this game offers. As I see it, it might be the best game in the history of gaming and that is saying something. 

And come to think of it, the world of Zero Dawn and Forbidden West might be preferable to the one we face her at present. Just some food for thought.

Have a great day everyone.

Edge of the coin

That is as I realise the setting we are in. And I get it, I sound silly, but I was unaware of the scope of the setting (I will easily blame my lack of an economic education) but three parts came to my mind opening my eyes. The first part is seen on the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyg1jg8xkmo) two hours ago ‘US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military, says White House’ all whilst my previous article is 14 hours old. As such America is ready to go to war with NATO itself. And here we are given “US President Donald Trump has been discussing “a range of options” to acquire Greenland, including use of the military, the White House said. The White House told the BBC that acquiring Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of fellow Nato member Denmark – was a “national security priority”.” Which is as I see it a blatant lie, but I wrote about that 14 hours ago. The second part came from Houston (Texas) where (at https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/venezuela-oil-future-texas-development-trump-maduro/) we are given ‘From Caracas to Houston: How Venezuela’s oil future could affect Texas’ the direct takeaway is “President Trump is talking about rebuilding the oil infrastructure there. If you’re in the oil biz in Houston or Irving right now, what do you think this means for the Texas oil industry? Are we looking at the possibility that U.S. companies could rush down into Venezuela as a result of what happened this weekend?

Well, no, so it’s a crude quality thing, right? So if we just consider U.S. production and Latin American production in Venezuela specifically, U.S. shale is light sweet crude. It is very high quality. Venezuelan crude is low quality, heavy sour crude. And U.S. gulf coast refineries have been geared towards running this Venezuelan heavy sour crude, Mexican heavy sour crude as well.

And so it’s not going to impact U.S. production per se because it’s not going to be displacing that crude. The way, if you’re cynical, you can look at this is that the U. S. needs this Venezuelan crude and so that’s what’s driving President Trump’s efforts here.”

You might think that this is ludicrous and to some extent it is, but there is another side. Actually two sides, but I will talk about this in a moment. The thirst side is given to us by the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/06/the-guardian-view-on-trumps-capture-in-caracas-oil-matters-but-its-not-the-whole-story) where we see ‘The Guardian view on Trump’s raid in Caracas: oil matters, but it’s not the whole story’ where we see “US sanctions worsened Venezuela’s slump, but lifting them alone will not restore growth: the industrial base has been hollowed out and skilled labour gone. If US oil majors take a larger share of revenues, Caracas will be more cash-strapped than before. It is hard not to recall Iraq – not because Venezuela is Iraq, but because of how the decision was made. No single rationale was decisive about Caracas. Oil, drugs, ideological fixation and presidential ego all featured. Each was not enough on its own; together they saw Mr Trump make a high‑risk move with no clear endgame.” It didn’t hit me at first, but this kept nagging into the back off my brain. There were two parts that were missing (one actually). You see, we were given “Trump told NBC on Jan. 5 that it could take less than 18 months to revive Venezuelan oil production, with the U.S. potentially reimbursing American oil companies for their investment. “A tremendous amount of money will have to be spent, and the oil companies will spend it, and then they’ll get reimbursed by us, or through revenue,” Trump said. In his Jan. 6 announcement Trump said Venezuelan oil “will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.” Energy Secretary Chris Wright is coordinating the effort, Trump added. Wright is meeting with oil executives in Miami this week.” You would like to see that this is more Trump BS but you would be wrong, the timeline does’t match. You see President Trump has almost exactly 1109 days left. Now consider that Chevron or anyone else picks up the baton, there is not enough time to make a decent profit and on the other had, the rather nasty side effect of oil is that a spark sets it off and President Maduro has plenty of allies in Venezuela. So either a massive army comes to Venezuela or there is another setting in place. That’s when it hit me, actually the Greenland setting left me with this. America is ready to go to war with NATO? At present NO DEMOCRAT is speaking up and Hakeem Jeffries leader of the Democrat party has been uncannily silent on these matters. I dawned on me that America elected an idiotic baboon as president because THEY ALL KNOW the party is about to end. They all know the debt they are in is about to spiral out of control and they need Venezuelan oil, Greenland natural wealth and Canadian resources to keep afloat (Canada might almost be out of danger) but America needs Venezuela and Greenland and that is thinly part to keep them afloat. Did Democrats actually think they could go in denial after the fact? 

They all knew and no one reacted, that is your America of today, they are no longer an ally, they have become a clear and present danger of Europe, the EU and the Commonwealth. Because after Greenland how much trust does an American hold? None at all.

I have to be crazy not having seen this before, we got swept up in the media cycles (they are now also an active part towards the enemies destination) there is no way all these Economic boffins didn’t see this happen. I might have an excuse as I have no economic degree, but they do not. And that needs to come out into the light. The global news is so whoring for Digital Dollars, they will side with the wind in whatever direction it goes. That was part 3 and part 4 of this. As I see it a whole America is part of this and I mightn’t have seen it before, but I am on the page now. So as I see it Europe and the Commonwealth have only one course of action. Immediately ban all American goods, ban all American travel, and ban all American services. It is now that simple and when we suddenly now get Democratic voices complain, they are too late. They had the option to voice concerns over three weeks but we got nothing. So as I see it, the Commonwealth needs to stand side by side with Canada as it is the third target of America and we need to do this now. There is no tomorrow. America needs to learn what a warlike Commonwealth can bring to the table. I still think that a partnership with China is preferred, but I get that this is politically a hammer to heavy to wield. So this is the edge of the coin, not Ione side, not the other, but in balance with too many elements. 

So even I get insights into missed corners of data and there will be plenty of people saying I am wrong (as I usually hear) but look at the evidence, the media gave you all the evidence you needed. Have a great day, unless you are American then you can have a terrible day as far as I care.
