The change I am predicting

That is the setting, but it is merely a speculation. It might be called presumption if I knew all the players, but I do not. We see ourselves in the west versus the Middle East (the crusader setting) and the West versus the Iron Curtain (cold war) or the West versus Asia (Perpetual Foreigner setting), but those are yesterday’s settings. We need a new setting. It is more and more imperative that the Commonwealth seeks a closer working relationship with the Middle East, particular Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It isn’t merely because the money and oil are there. The setting that the United States of America is about to become our most enemy is coming too close for comfort and we need to stay with our Canadian brethren (sisters too), we can watch from a distance, but soon it will be too late and politicians better realise that ‘It was too complex’ or ‘we never banked on that’ will not be an excuse to get away from it all. It starts with the (as I personally see it) the illegal war on Iran. Now don’t get me wrong, Iran is evil and they needed to be dealt with. But a war has an actual declaration and we see too much media giving us the bytes by America giving us that there was not a war in play (really?) We know that the united States are based on laws, which they basically threw away when it suited their needs.

This is the first setting, so as there is no war, it is merely an exercise in bombing civilians and the upcoming looting of oil. 

So we are there at the moment. I also took Israel out f the equation, Iran has been attacking Israel for decades and they now have the United States backing them. The UN is useless, they sided with all opposing Israel for so long, it is not to be considered a factor here. The United States did sign a charter voiding what they did on June 26, 1945, in San Francisco, California. It was signed by representatives of 50 nations at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, with the US Senate subsequently ratifying the treaty on July 28, 1945.

As such we see the clear markings of an illegal war. And the media has this clearly in their history banks, so whatever they do it now seen as invalid, let them chase their digital dollars, but as I see it, the media is now tax liable, and in many places it is 20% or more. Did they consider this?

As such we (the Commonwealth) needs to find a much better alliance. Whilst some might turn to Asia (China), I am mindful that a union with the Middle East is a much better fit. Unions with the UAE and Saudi Arabia might fit the Commonwealth charter better, I am against embracing Sharia law, but it is a low in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, so we need to be mindful that this is a setting we have to embrace the we are there and schools need to prepare for this shift, because this shift has never happened before. Even as we have 11th century hang ups on this, we need to move forward and moving forward with the United States is a one step movement into a debt driven setting. (USA is now 39 trillion in debt) and they are unlikely to be able to pay the interest in 2027. As such we are massively out of time and as Saudi Arabia and the UAE are setting up their tourism settings and the Commonwealth could be bringing a larger part of its 2.5 billion people to these regions (and taking them away from the USA) 

So, yes, this is speculation, but ask yourself, did you ever consider that the United States would become the instigator of an illegal war? Don’t get me wrong, Iran had to be taken down a few pegs, but we all agree that we are a nation of laws and there are ways to proceed, the fact that someone is waging water to get its hands on oil (whilst they claim they have enough) might be a step too far for several people and the Commonwealth is almost a third of the global population. So how desperate will the United States become when they realise they played the wrong song in a dancehall that is still set to the conservative settings it sees?

It is about time to select where we go to, I for one am a Commonwealthian and I go where more intelligent people (like PM Mark Carney, aka Marky Mark of the British Bank) tells us to go. I see his intellectual mastery of economics and as we see it, America is losing battle after battle against Canada, because whatever they have is not to confused with actual intelligence. 

And I foresee that the Commonwealth needs to take a side and in thesis settings for them there is the Middle East or there is China and I feel (a personal feeling) that China might not be the best solution for the Commonwealth. Don’t get me wrong they do a lot right, but whilst the EU is overturning the settings that the United States gave us concerning Huawei, TikTok and a few other vendors, there is a stage where some options need to be examined and whilst the USA is making acquisitions, it is them not others who are interfering with national interests and for the most we let them. Time to set a new stage, one that excludes the United States, I see that several changes are being made like FourEyes (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom) in a new shape of intelligence for these nations and as sick say the United States is no longer being considered as a valued source. But in business other settings will be required and here my vote goes towards the Middle East, because we are most likely more alike than unalike. I reckon that the Vatican might oppose that side, but they squandered their options as I see it. 

Is my speculation valid?

That remains to be seen. I think it is, but I am the one postulating that setting and before you go all high and mighty, consider this:

Now consider that the more then one trillion interest that is due in 2026 and 2027 needs to be paid for?

So this is interest, not even a lessening of the debt. And was I see it, it is only getting harder in 2028 and now we add the cherry. As the United States is abstaining from NATO, how many bases and people will be made to move back to the USA? My ‘limited’ calculations give me the setting that these troops are around 65,000. Now they end up seeking jobs in the United States, and there is not enough place all over the USA to place them all, and this also implies a reduced return of investments in Europe. The US has to deal with over 100K dismissed staff from 2025 onwards and all to that thousands being replaced in the military. That is a decrease in revenue that might be too complex to calculate, but there will be an impact. So as others are reevaluating their stance towards the United States (Japan for one) what more losses in an age where a nation is almost unable to pay for its interest bill. So what happens when the United States defaults on a $39 trillion debt? I saw this a decade ago when out was merely $25 trillion. The picture wasn’t nice then, it is utterly ugly now. As I see it, the Commonwealth needs new alliances and it needs them fast. My vote goes towards the Middle East, but I reckon that many votes toward China are coming too. Whatever we do, we better do it fast. So, have a great day today.

The idea is not novel

That is what I feel at present. CNBC gave us all 12 hour ago the ominous title ‘Trump is paying TSA agents — but where is the money coming from?’ (at https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/01/tsa-trump-dhs-shutdown-airports.html) The article is giving us a few sides, like:

You think this is a simple setting, but as I see it, it is not. It reeks like a Ponzi scheme. Paying one lot from a stack mean for other means. Now in normal settings we get this, pile one a has a surplus (or reserve) and it deals with a few items not meant for it, but I personally believe that CNBC uncovered part of the setting that was never meant to be seen by anyone, because it alerts the media to questions it was never meant to realise in their destiny for digital dollars.

An d personally I wonder what the budgeting departments can give the world in uncovering what is really happening, because as I personally see it, when any government is totaling their revenue towards a Ponzi scheme kind of balancing, we can deduce that the United States is now in its final game, desperate to survive whatever comes next. President Trump played (by some) an essential game to make The United States look important (or is that impotent?) The first game was Canada that it had to be part of these beautiful states somehow united and he had already a designation for this, their 51st state, a state bigger and more beautiful than any other, but the Canadians (bless them) were not falling into that trap. They were saved by their Prime Minister, who was the Governor of the Bank of England before he got back to Canada and he saw through President Trump like an adult watching a toddler trying to figure out the functions of a spanner. It was never a competition. Now that Canada was on alert, they were possibly alerting Denmark on what the United States had in mind for the rare earths in Greenland and they were willing to pay (yet no more than $0.01 on the dollar) as they lacked certain funds and Denmark got Europe to stand by them and get angry too. As such the expenditure tap of Europe was getting closed towards the United States of America, and now the United States arranged for two settings, the first was that more allies were furious with them and with the closed expenditure tap to the end date of the United States came rushing forward. But President Trump had lived by divide and conquer for most of his life, so he used bully tactics to get Venezuela to heel and Wall Street rejoiced for 5 minutes. The problem is that Venezuela has plenty of volatile sludge, but it is oil by another name and not that useful in the machines available to the United States. And another setting was thwarted.

So now we get to the current dilemma. Iran, all useful and none of it at the needs for the United States. So what does it do? It bombs Iran into the Stone Age and is now ready to invade Iran and now because it was forced (as some say) for the United States (as well as Israel) to came to the setting of the new colony of Kharg Island, it can tap from those billions of barrels of oil. But Iran casually included the guy states by attacking it and these now will demand their reparations to be funded thorough Iranian oil. I casually had another thought, why let the United States ‘win’ when we can stop Iran’s infrastructure and that will bring out the real culprit. As such I ‘bestowed’ IP on Saudi Arabia and the UAE so that they can get their Dirhams worth and in the mean time there is enough delay to bring the plight of the United States to bare, because the media does nothing to do this. I might not be as clever as Canadian Prime Minster Mark Carney (a multiple winner of economic awards), but I do have my own creative sides and I brought them to bare. 
So whilst others are lulled in a setting of sleep, I am seeing that CNBC has seen some of it and when others are starting to realise that “The White House has not laid out exactly where within the tax and spending bill the money is coming from, but Bobby Kogan, senior director of federal budget policy at the Center for American Progress, said there is only one plausible section that the administration could be citing. Buried deep in the more than 300-page measure is a section that sets aside $10 billion “for reimbursement of costs incurred in undertaking activities in support of the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to safeguard the borders of the United States.”” This document allegedly is covering the payment of several bills with that $10 billion, but siphoned in different ways the setting of a Ponzi scheme is met. So what is the Ponzi scheme?

And as I personally see it, they are funding AI and their StarGate in similar ways. The funds have have dried up and the game is over, but this president (Wall Street too) don’t believe that the party will ever end, but the markers are there. 

So could I be wrong?
That remains to be seen, it is possible, but behind the ‘rhetoric’ and the film flam abilities of some to curdle milk, the audience is told to believe in a setting that is seemingly no longer there. And I believe that the United States is now playing with marbles they never owned that others have to pay for the setting they invoked. Like some sources give us ‘Trump Wants Gulf Allies to Pay US for War Despite Bearing Brunt of Iran Strikes?’ And the use of ‘might’ is overly used, but it is all he has left and I don’t agree. I gave the Saudi Arabia and the UAE ways to deal with Iran, paying the United States was never on my mind (or valid) and it is another setting we are given that the United States is running out of money and they have less and less in their allowance sack. As I see it, it is worth less than the empty sack.

So, whilst you are considering all the ways I might be wrong, the larger setting is ‘Could I be right?’ A setting that many are rejecting just out of the notion to reject it as the hard truth is too much to bare. Have a great day.

My confusion

That is what I was burdened with. Arab News (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/2638181/saudi-arabia) give us ‘Leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan discuss military escalation in the region’, for me the confusion becomes, “Why isn’t the UAE involved?” And the story gives us “The leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan discussed the repercussions of the military escalation in the region and its risks to freedom of international navigation and the security of energy supplies in Jeddah on Monday, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The impact of the escalation on the global economy and the coordination of joint efforts to enhance regional security and stability were also discussed during the meeting hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and attended by Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Jordan’s King Abdullah II.” My confusion doesn’t end there. The escalations seemed to be set into alleged spreading discourse in the Middle East, Iran like a toddler, that it is denied a bigger seat at the table and a bigger slice of the pie is spreading discourse to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. To see the evolution of that thought I have two pieces of information.

In the first image we see the realist on the UAE, in the second image we see Arab News who gave us last week how it differs towards Israel.

However, the third image (from another source) gives us another picture. We are given 342 missiles and 1,699 drones for the UAE, 26 missiles and 413 drones for Saudi Arabia as well as 183 missiles and 87 drones for Qatar. I get the attacks on Israel, Israel attacked Iran, as such Iran attacks Israel now. But the numbers do not make sense to me in any traditional setting of warfare, even in the desperate setting we saw Iran in the past. This kind of warfare is about creating distrust. And as I see it the United States likes that a little too much. I reckon that the United States has its own reasons. But the damage destabilisation gives the Middle East is now too dangerous to consider. But Iran does not care, it wants a seat, a much bigger seat and it will take any risk it need to take. This is pretty much one of the reasons that I gave my IP (to destroy Iranian harbours, rails and roads) to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, because I personally feel that a strong and stable Middle East is at present one of the best things we could hope for in our world. 

To give us a better view on the numbers. The UAE got hit with the same amount of drones as the sum of all other gulf nation. 

So, if these numbers are correct (still a dangerous thing to ‘compare’ percentages), Iran hit the UAE more often than the attacking nation of Israel. Does that make sense to anyone? I get that they attack Israel, it attacked them, but the UAE never attacked Iran (to the best of my knowledge), a setting, which I initially considered to be an act of desperation to get the Gulf States involved in all this. Is now seen (by me) as a way for Iran to get a larger piece of the Gulf pie and a larger seat at the table. As such the United States is hitting Iran, but if my thoughts are on the money, I reckon that soon enough some miraculous setting comes up that is laughingly called peace and as the United States will give some repartee that they ‘won’ the war, the actual winner would be Iran, because they will end up with a much bigger seat at the table and they will push their hatred of Israel to the entire table and the United States will not care what happens to Israel, they get to live another month with the oil settings they end up with. 

Now, this is all speculation, but it fits the current data model and if that data changes, so will it debunk my speculation on this matter, I can live with this, because I got here without aid from the media, they are busy chasing their digital dollars. In all this, the setting that the world is better off with a destabilised Middle East is utterly wrong. It comes from conservative christians and jokes that have listened to and loved the Crusaders fables going back centuries. And we made the mess in this world ourselves, we let ourselves be fooled and bought the considerations that others gave us. But I believe that a strong Middle East (one without Iran) is our best option to regain some of what we all lost. As I see it, it will also exclude the United States, no matter when this president is replaced, it is now living under the yoke of minus $38 trillion (aka minus $38,000,000,000,000, or is it minus $38,000,000,000,000,000?) we throw billions and trillions around like it is nothing, but the real number in dollars shows the world how deep the hole is that the United States dug for itself. And consider that they had a proven crude oil reserve in the United States of 44.4 billion barrels and still they are digging themselves an increasing debt hole. And no matter what hypes we see, there is nothing they will do, because Wall Street lives in the now, and the next and previous quarter. This shortsighted setting only held those who think that they are in charge, but they are slaves to greed and ego. That is how I see it and I understand that I might be wrong, but this is where the data leads me. Above else I do believe in data, the verified versions above all others. So could I be wrong? Definitely, but what conclusions do you draw from the facts we are exposed to? And at this time with this administration the United States has, do you actually think that they will add anything to the matter? This president (seemingly) and his businesses defaulted on hundreds of millions in loans and filed for corporate bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009. Then we get the settings of Canada and Greenland which alienated his northern neighbor and they are now shunning the United States costing it billions in tourism and a lot more in various ways. It alienated Europe wanting to ‘annex’ Greenland and this president kept on insulting the European leaders who are now aligning with Canada and this collection of 28 nations is largely shunning the United States. Then he went to Venezuela and did it all over again and now we see Iran, which is apparently costing the United States The US war on Iran, which began in early 2026, cost an estimated $ 11.3 billion in the first six days and surpassed $ 16.5 billion by day 12, according to reports. Costs include high munitions expenditures, repairs to regional infrastructure, and accelerated military deployments, with over $200 billion in additional funding (source: Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)). So how much is the United States getting out of this? The question is slowly becoming what does the United States have to gain with a destabilised Middle East? I don’t expect the media to look into this, not with the digital dollar drive they have, but that might be my speculative mind. 

So you all have a great day and consider what harm destabilisation of the Middle East will bring us all and consider that President Trump has figured out one thing. The nation with the most oil will survive at present, so where does that leave Iran? Enjoy your day this day.

Facting a check

I find myself in this setting. A few days ago, I remember that President Trump said that the Iranian missiles were taken care of and in light of the 2000 drones and missiles fired at the UAE it sounded plausible. So the Deutsche Welle gave us “Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu say that Iran’s missile capacity is “destroyed” and “degraded,” yet Iran still strikes. How many missiles and drones remain, and how quickly can Iran rebuild its arsenal?” Which came with ‘How well armed is Iran, and can it replenish missiles?’ I was ahead of that by designing a new IP to take care of the roads, I started with crazy glue, but I changed this to small pellets with a 10 seconds delay. Based on the original setting it was a small pellet about 5mm in size with crazy glue around the core in the outer shell and whilst trucks drove over them the 10 seconds delay would enable the solution to be ‘grabbed’ by several trucks and in the Iranian ‘wilderness’ a truck without tires gets stopped right quick and no help is expected to come for hours. So whilst these trucks are out in the open and no help is coming, you get missiles without a clue, trucks without tracks and you can fill in the rest. So I was feeling pretty happy that my 2.0 solution seemed to be on a roll so to say.

But now, only an hour ago we are given by Reuters ‘Exclusive: U.S. can only confirm about a third of Iran’s missile arsenal destroyed, sources say’ (article behind paywall) this means that Iran can keep on firing its missiles into the UAE and Saudi Arabia. As such I am happy that I gave them the IP to take care of their harbours and railways, and now of course my 2.0 solution to trucking. So, this gives us the light wondering if President Trump has the ability to speak the truth, because we get exaggeration after exaggeration and there is no stopping this man as he is might be seen as the first president that has a failed fact check list that humbles a New York Phonebook for its amount of pages.

And whilst the Wall Street Journal gives us ‘Trump Tells Aides He Wants Speedy End to Iran War’ where we are given “President Trump has told associates in recent days that he wants to avoid a protracted war in Iran and that he hopes to bring the conflict to an end in the coming weeks.” So, what is his idea of a speedy end? The United States is now in week 4 of the Iranian clambake, it is ‘halting’ 10 days with CNN giving us “US President Donald Trump has for a second time extended his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz – or face its power plants being “obliterated.” The status of the talks remains unclear, with both sides giving mixed signals. Iran has expressed deep distrust toward Washington, while Trump is growing frustrated with the pace of progress. And on the ground, the war, which has killed thousands across the Middle East since it began nearly four weeks ago, shows no signs of diminishing.” All whilst CNBC gives us “The U.S. is preparing to send thousands more troops to the Middle East, prompting speculation about a ground attack on Iran amid conflicting accounts of peace talks. The Pentagon is reportedly preparing to send about 3,000 troops from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, alongside two Marine Expeditionary Units, to assist military operations in Iran.” All whist BBC News gives us that “Pentagon denies report that US considering sending 10,000 troops to Middle East” Now, I get that armies ‘wallow’ in misinformation, so that is fair as they do not want their enemy to know which way is up. As such I am all for that level of misinformation and it is according to the writings of Sun Tzu (the art of war), but there is a massive missing level of fact checks on a few levels and I reckon we should know what was not destroyed, especially when the enemy knows what was not destroyed. But I could be grasping at straws here. 

The larger setting is that there is too much out of bounds and that also goes into the failing credibility of the US administration, and as I see it, they cannot deal with too much loss there. Especially as they are losing more allies they ever had and at present it only has Israel as an ally left. At present the ‘calculus’ setting as the United States as an ally is giving Israel as 71%, and in that list, the lowest is Japan at 63%, after that it goes down fast, at the top is Canada claiming the United States as an ally with 46%, Australia at 38% and more below, with the United States calling the United States an ally for 1%. (Source: PEW Research), now, this is not the most recent research, but the setting of this should scare the United States government into springing into action, because before 2025 Canada was its top ally and now Canada is resentful of the United States and its tourism numbers are in the basement. Forbes gave us that “As of early 2026, Canadian travel to the U.S. has seen 13 consecutive months of declines.” And in this economy as it stands, this is really bad. 

Fair question. There is a setting that the armies can only continue when the money comes rolling in and that is not happening, the US economy is largely losing on tourism, all whilst the Financial Times gives us (at https://www.ft.com/content/15117219-c1e1-4da8-866b-817b75643c18) “The costs of Trump’s war are staggering. The most consequential is the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has caused global oil prices to rise at the fastest rate since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The average gasoline price in the US is now $3.98 — nearly $1 higher than just a month ago. For the average household, the pain at the pump could add up to nearly $750 in extra costs this year.” Take that number, add to that the amount of people that are hurt though tourism, manufacturing and services and take into consideration the number offers that JP Morgan gave us last October and the cost of warfare is rearing its ugly head. Add to that the amount of fact checks that are getting a failing grade and this mess is near complete.

So whilst the Financial Times also gives us “Higher prices on everything from groceries to furniture to clothes will tear a hole in family budgets at a time when more Americans already report skipping meals, delaying medical care, or dipping into their retirement savings to make ends meet. The response from Trump’s top economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, was that consumer pain caused by the Iran war is “the last of our concerns right now”.” I personally think that Kevin Hassett is seemingly on the wrong medication at present, consumer pain goes through everything and Sun Tzu’s The Art of War actually advises avoiding harm to civilians and promoting their goodwill. This is not happening now (as far as I can see) and this has been a truth for over 2500 years. So as I see it, Kevin Hassett better take a renewed look at what is happening at present, because he gets to eat his own words when this so called war is still in effect in 3 weeks, because at that point the breaking point of the people will have been surpassed by a lot and that (speculative) rating of United States calling the United States an ally decreases to 0% and as I see it, no nation ever faced that setting before. There is a new setting coming up (and I don’t like it) there is now a chance that the United States might face another civil war, because when the people lose whatever they have and face more and more hardship the bulk of its population (now assessed at 342,000,000) cannot be controlled by 1,300,000 troops and there is every chance that many will walk out of their units to stand by their family. This is what this administration seemingly achieved and that is the harsh view they need to face. 

So, am I wrong? 
This is also a fair question, because no one is looking at this, but I believe that this speculative view I have will gain traction in the next two weeks and I would be happy to be wrong, but the checks and balances that need to be in place aren’t there and the larger group of the media is no longer credible, so you have to figure it out. Have a great day today.

The bellows of a mad man

That was the thought I had this morning. You see, ABC gives us an hour ago ‘Trump singles out Australia as he lashes allies on Iran war support’ which I took personally as I am Australian. The story (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-27/donald-trump-says-australia-was-not-great-help-in-iran-war/106500752) where we see “The US president says he was “surprised” by Australia’s refusal to help the US secure the Strait of Hormuz, while again lashing out at NATO allies for their inaction. He claimed Iran was “begging” to make a deal and would face its “worst nightmare” if it didn’t agree to America’s 15-point ceasefire proposal.” This puzzled me, because on March 6th had stated that the UK ‘join wars after we’ve already won’, so why does he need help? Then he proclaims that “Iran was “begging” to make a deal”, as such it seems that no help is required. On other business, this year April fools day (April 1st) will be cancelled as President trump made every day seems like a joke (a bad one). So why does he need help and this is stuff he gave the world, so what gives?

And just a minute ago (actually 60 seconds ago), the Guardian gives us “Trump extends deadline to strike Iran energy sites Donald Trump has said he will extend his pause on his threat to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure for 10 days until 6 April, claiming that the request came from Tehran.

In a post on Truth Social, the US president claimed talks are going “very well” and repeated his attacks on the “fake news media” for reporting to the contrary (Iran has also reported to the contrary). Originally, Trump threatened last Saturday to would strike Iranian energy infrastructure if Tehran did not reopen the strait of Hormuz. Then, on Monday he said he would pause his threat for five days (until Friday), citing “very good and productive conversations” with Iran on ending the war (which Tehran dismissed as “fake news” designed to “manipulate” the oil markets). So, he’s now pushing that deadline back, again.” So, there is nothing in play? Whilst 18 minutes ago we were given “Strikes near Iran nuclear plant could trigger ‘major radiological accident’, warns IAEA chief The head of the UN nuclear watchdog has expressed “deep concern” over recent military strikes near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant – and warned that any damage to the operating facility could cause a “major radiological accident affecting a large area in Iran and beyond”.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general Rafael Grossi reiterated his call for “maximum restraint” to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident. The most recent reported strike took place on Tuesday night, when the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said a projectile had struck the grounds of the nuclear power plant. The IAEA previously confirmed a strike on 17 March. No damage to the plant was reported in either incident.” Which sounded odd, as the war was already won. Funny enough I had IP that could take care of the Bushehr nuclear power plant. I wrote it in 2021, on December 14th to be more exact. I did so in ‘Keeping my promise, part 1.’ (At https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/12/14/keeping-my-promise-part-1/), I even made some ‘civil’ IP available later that month to aid in the deployment and no explosives would be required. I admit that in this setting (you know, all the bombings) security would be increased. So I reckon that implementing it now might become a problem, but in stead of bombing it, my speculative mind turned the reaction into ‘kind of’ a bomb. I don’t like (or agree) with nuclear explosives, but as I saw it, I could turn all that energy back onto itself. It hasn’t been tested as there is a lack of ‘volunteering’ reactors, but to do this to Iranian and Russian reactors is OK with me (they might object though). The setting is however a little more complicated though. As we are given the words of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general Rafael Grossi, no one seems to be asking the question how much nuclear material does Iran actually have and how pure is this stuff, is it reactor grade of military grade? Seems like a basic question to me, even I as a non-nuclear physicist know this. 

So whilst we then take tally, we need to ascertain how much the United States has won the war, not only because he already needs $200,000,000,000, but because the Strait of Hormuz is closed and whilst (apparently) Iran is begging for a deal, we hear nothing like that from most of the media. So who did President Trump talk to, or was he talking into a mirror? And as I placed my IP online (making out freeware) I understand that I never get wealthy on this, the idea that some might just put things online (and rely on the goodness of some) I wonder where this winning streak is coming from and how delusional the governing branch of the United States has become. 

So, who is the mad man? President Trump or me? I merely state my ideas in a calm voice, he goes out on a rampage against anyone not worshipping him at the mere sight of him. That is how I see it and considering the entire Iran setting, you might agree. He has bombed Iran (with Israel) and whilst we see influencers and fake media telling is that Saudi Arabia and the UAE want to go ‘all in’ I have a few reservations against these reports. I reckon that it becomes an actual fact when we see this in the Arab News, Khaleej Times and/or Al Arabiya. At this point those are the only news sources I am willing to trust on Arabic settings. There is too much noise in all this and whilst I am exploring new IP that might give Iran a headache and hand to over to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. There is is a lull in my life. The blessed feeling of a temporary interval of quiet in my mind. I know it is trying to work things out, so I let it. It will alert me to any new ‘misgivings’ of alternate use of IP I  might be detecting in the corners of my eyes.

So have a great day to day. My plan? To optionally watch Sleepy Hollow or Donny Darko on 4K, but then I have always tried to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Oh, and it just occurred to me, should those lying influencers be made persona non grata? They call it “self expression on the freedom of speech” lying and misrepresenting the facts to gain traction in the following you gain is still deplorable and the UAE might want to consider making these people persona-non-grata. So as this blows over, they are denied entry to the one place they all want to be, because that is going to be the reality of things. Seems like a simple setting to me. Find the evidence and deny them access and Saudi Arabia might want to go the same way. Have a good one.

A digital setting

That was always in the works, especially as those so called ‘influencers’ were trying to get traction at the expanse of both Saudi Arabia and the UAE on LinkedIn and YouTube (optionally also on TikTok, but I do not venture there). So as we see the Defense Post (at https://thedefensepost.com/2026/03/25/lig-nex1-palantir-defense-uae/) give us ‘LIG Nex1, Palantir Expand Defense Cooperation in UAE’ which comes with the hidden byline, the image shows a soldier with a Saudi patch, but that might have a different alignment issue. Where we see “The deal was signed at Palantir’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California, with senior executives present, but no details on programs, timelines, or contract value were disclosed. Under the initiative, South Korean firm LIG Nex1 will contribute its experience in integrated air defense and unmanned systems. US-based Palantir will provide data integration and analytics software designed to support defense operations and connect sensors, platforms, and command systems.” And it seems that there are optionally additional settings. The Dutch organisation Trollrensics might be well suited to expand its horizons to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. That firm has had expertise in dealing with the data to ‘unveil’ Russian trolls and give defense abilities to the Ukrainian IT forces. As I see it, it also has seen its shares of Chinese trolls and when comparing Palantir to Trollrensics there is no question that Palantir wins. But taken the price of a seat, I reckon that Trollrensics would be great at prototyping the requirements to unveil these fake influencers. And rolling out Palantir to an organisation is kinda big. Getting a small team onto Trollrensics seems a little easier. As such both nations could be deploying both solutions in the field giving prototyping abilities in almost no time flat and when more is needed in comes Palantir with the the driven questions that have been parsed to some extent, without draining the AI pool of credits (as the saying goes) a simple setting that I was aware of at least. So as we are given that the Dubai mall is empty (according to an influencer on YouTube) we need to realise that this was in the middle of Ramadan. I reckon that most Muslims will avoid the temptations that the Dubai Mall gives the fasting Muslim community. It might be small, but the underlying setting is ‘abused’ by that influencer giving the watcher that the mall was empty for another reason. So as I give the world

The image of Gulf News that the crowds at the Dubai Mall (Dubai) are just fine, remember that you also get loads of information from people who have no idea what they are doing and they are merely in it to get the numbers and their YouTube Subscriber Milestone award, all whilst they have no idea what they are doing to the truth of the matter. 

So, you all have a great day and consider where you are in the larger setting of things.

In Summary

Yes, at times it is time to review the ideas I spouted. I stand by them, but like any engineer and reengineer, I feel that there is a need to revisit the thoughts I had and at times improve on them. I started to look at these ideas again. It all started with ‘Ones Creative Process’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/08/ones-creative-process/) which grabbed back to ‘The impact of insanity’ which I wrote on January 20th, 2019 where I found a ‘new novel’ way to shut down ports and take the harbours out of the equation for Iran. I liked the idea of the setting to give no quarter, but not to pound on the Iranians with bombs. They tend to get a lot of innocents killed. This way with the loss of almost no lives, the idea was to sink boats in the breakwater of a harbour, of perhaps in the harbour themselves. It stops the harbour from being functional for days, if not weeks. I would hope weeks towards months. Getting a ship out of the breakwater tends to be massively tedious and they need to blow up the ship, optionally scuttle the cargo it has. The idea brooded in my mind for over 5 years, as such I felt it to be pretty complete. It might have needed some tinkering, because I had no way of testing this, but the idea was sound. I handed the ideas to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia who were hit by Iran unprovoked and I felt that I would have done my bit against Iranian aggression. But I felt It was not enough

A few days later, I came up with ‘With Ice please’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/10/with-ice-please/) where I found a way to deal with the railway of Iran. The idea of bombing railway lines serves too little purpose. But take a small setting (as discussed) to hit the rail clip and shoulder with liquid nitrogen and a much smaller blast, the liquid nitrogen makes the these parts brittle and the smallest blast will shatter these parts. The rail would be loose on the beams and when the train goes over them, that one rail gives way and the train derails. A simple setting where we hit the rails and remove that train and all its cargo from being usable for months (most likely) and the railway system will take days, if not weeks to get fixed. The setting will get complicated to get both the train and the rails back into service. And this plan could be redone over and over again over the 13,000 miles of tracks they have it stops all commerce quite literally in its tracks. Because either the trains run on walking speed as these tracks are checked or they take the chance with every train they drive. I thought that there was a symmetrical form of equity. I would be so willing to damage 1,672 pieces of track, in answer of the 1,672 drones attacks on the UAE. I have a wicked sense of humor. It also had a second idea towards that design, which has a few quirks, but if solved, it could speed up the solution of disabling Iranian railways. 

On march 14th I wrote ‘Regurgitating’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/14/regurgitating/), which revisited a setting on how Iran likely attacked Aramco location in Saudi Arabia. This setting was presumptive, but at least my version should work and that would enable the idea with one operator taking down an entire refinery. The original piece was written as ‘Droning right along’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/06/14/droning-right-along/) The idea gives one operator the ability to target over a dozen places at the same time and take out the bulk of the refinery. And they only have 10, so they could hit all 10 with 10 operators, or do it in a few times. The simplest setting set in motion by the Chinese drone show of a dragon. When it can be this precise, taking out key points on any refinery is a simple construction. 

So on March 20th 2026 I wrote ‘Optionally sorting land abilities’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/20/optionally-sorting-land-abilities/) to ‘demoralize’ land based targets. My initial target was Isfahan Shahid Beheshti International Airport and its cargo abilities. Here I opted for “matted plastic balls containing crazy glue”, but at present I am not so sure it will work. But the idea is sound, if we replace them for small balls of explosives, first I thought to use drops of nitro glycerine, but that didn’t work. The original idea of small balls of c4 with a delayed explosive (like 15-30 seconds) so we get back to the idea of these balls having some kind of crazy glue and from there it gets ‘nasty’ consider the Russian transports going through Turkmenistan, those roads take  a long time to traverse, so this solution at the 50% point in Iran should set back all cargo forks if not months. The largest problem is on the spot redesigning is the fact that everything needs to be reexamined. A simple setting that Sun Tzu gave us 2000 years ago, a simple resetting of that premise in a modern day. Although I still have a few issues with the land approach, I feel pretty certain that rail and ships are decently taken care of and these solutions take a fraction of what President Trump had in mind. My solution takes at most a few millions, as such it optionally costs a mere 0.005% of the $200,000,000,000 bill that President Trump had in mind. So, I think it is decent to say that I am the better solution. I still think that his 200 billion is more about the United States being broke than anything else, but that might be on me.

Consider the fact that they are so set towards bombing the hell out of Iran, the idea that they had a ‘grand victory’ I created solutions (for the UAE and Saudi Arabia) at a fraction of these costs and I am happy to give these IP’s to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia to stop Iran from attacking their neighbours, or they can utilize these solutions to stop Iran in their tracks. Sometimes there is a blessed balance of what one does and what we can do in opposition. Iran might not be at war with me, but if lucky I do want to have one vacation in Abu Dhabi at some point, as such it is imperative to find a solution to stop Iran. In addition, I never liked Iran attacking (via Houthi terrorists) Aramco locations, and as such I created the IP to do something about that too. All the creation Iran threw at its enemies are now turning against themselves. 

It might not be a pacifist solution, but for the most they are seen as cowards, I will happily apologise to the few that are pacifist for pure ideological reasons. But in a war, it is weird to rely on pacifist solutions. I would much rather stop these warmongers in their tracks and Iran is a warmonger, especially against Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. I wonder what DARPA will make of these solutions. Especially as they demoralize Iran at a fraction of the cost they are ‘prompting’ now. 

So you all have a great day and consider what a creative mind (in a tough spot) can deploy.

The other side of a thing

Arab News gave us hours ago (at https://arab.news/cy2eb) that Iran attacks Saudi Arabia unabated where we are given ‘Saudi Arabia shoots down multiple drones as Iranian attacks continue’ as such Iran twists the lies that they will not attack and still do this because of whatever brain figment they are concocting. But this time they are out of luck. The world has had enough of Iran and as they are are attacking muslim nations, not even other Muslims will accept the reasons they give, as such they are in a new untested ground. What happens when the Sunni Muslims have had enough of them? So as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar are attacked, these nations will now defend themselves and even Qatar has clearly had enough of all of this. So, whilst we see “Saudi Arabia’s air defenses have intercepted and destroyed at least 26 drones on Friday, the country’s defense ministry confirmed, as aerial attacks on Gulf nations persisted. Authorities in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates also said earlier they were also contending with missile fire and drone threats. The UAE defense ministry said air defenses shot down four ballistic missiles and 26 drones coming from Iran on Friday. Since the start of the Iranian attacks, the UAE has dealt with 338 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles and 1,740 drones.” So, whilst some will wonder what is going on, Iran is now slapping its neighbours around for being more successful than them. So, whilst Iran is hitting out against Aramco and ADNOC, we are seeing “According to the Saudi defense ministry, the majority of the drones were shot down over the Eastern Province, home to the kingdom’s major oil refineries, while one was intercepted over the northern province of Al Jouf.

The fresh wave of attacks comes a day after a drone struck a Saudi oil refinery on the Red Sea, and causing fires at two additional facilities in Kuwait, as Iran escalated its campaign against Gulf energy infrastructure.” As I personally see it, all the gulf states have had enough of Iran and I reckon that their retribution will be on their mind as Eid Al Fitr has ended and Ramadan was concluded. As I see it, Iran has no further concern for leniency and I handed both Saudi Arabia and UAE the IP to stop infrastructure to facilitate a three pronged attack on Iran. Land, Sea and Rail will be put under pressure with the setting that reverberates for months to come. I also handed them the option of destroying their airfields, but that solution is one that takes months to really impact and will not be seen for some time. Well, the technology was create pressure and whilst some airfields will be part of the United States Clambake, there is no quick solution there. So, whilst Saudi Arabia gives us that “In addition to the drones, Saudi air defenses have intercepted 42 ballistic missiles and seven cruise missiles over the same period, underscoring the sustained and varied nature of the aerial campaign against the kingdom.” It is clear that the Kingdom is under repetitive attack from Iran and as I see it, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has merely one answer to counter all this before another Aramco location will show a repetitive attack and damage, Saudi Arabia has several options none of them non-violent and all with the approval of the near entire world. And as I personally see it, that is how it should be. A bully like Iran should never be allowed to win, not even a small win. They need to see that there are consequences from attacking their Muslim neighbours. And my idea for hitting infrastructure is now showing that it was the right thing to do all along as the Australian Financial Review gives us ‘Iran says it’s building more missiles’ where (at https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/israel-launches-new-strikes-on-tehran-bowen-refuses-to-rule-out-changes-to-fuel-tax-20260320-p5qs8n) we see “The spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps insisted on Friday that Tehran was still building missiles, seeking to counter a claim by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that it no longer could. General Ali Mohammad Naeini also said the Iran war would go on.

“These people expect the war to continue until the enemy is completely exhausted,” the general said of the Iranian public. “This war must end when the shadow of war is lifted from the country.”” I wonder how their self-control gets away from them when their railroads and harbours are put out of commission. Because that too is the outcome of a war you invoke, when the harbours are put to pasture because the are no longer reachable and when your railways are no longer deal with the trains as their tracks are inoperable al whilst revenue and defense settings are merely collecting dust as they have no place to go, how will their armies react? Sun Tzu states that this is a demoralizing setting and he gave us that in 500 BC, as such the writing if that reality is over 2500 years old. It might show to be an issue when Iran remains oblivious to the impact of that, but that is the nature of things. When awe see that these effect come into ply someone in the military will feign ignorance and the impact of that will be seen all over the world. Perhaps Iran will learn, but as they instigated all of this themselves I really doubt that they will learn anything.

Have a great day, a mere 120 minutes until breakfast.

Optionally sorting land abilities

I know, it sounds vague, but after I saw the news (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/19/iran-attacks-cut-17-of-qatars-lng-capacity-for-up-to-5-years-qatarenergy) where we are given ‘Iran warns it will show ‘zero restraint’ if infrastructure attacked again’, as such I am willing to take their anticipation out of their realm of options. I created IP for water and rails. So, I started to think “How can we disable land options?” Well, that is a lot harder then you think. Yes you can bomb the hell out of a road, but I am a precision tool. I often dislike blunt tools. So I started to think concerning their drone abilities. You see these ones that are being send all over Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar come from the Shahed Aviation Industries in Isfahan. As such I started to think. These drones will be shipped in bulk to wherever they need to be operated. From Qatar that is 890 km, optionally it is a mere 322 km from the Sea of Dammam (aka Persian gulf) so now we have a tactical setting. Either they go part by road to Isfahan Shahid Beheshti International Airport and from there wherever they need to be. The idea started to form was based on previous IP is that trucks are easier to hit. I am not taking about missiles or RPG’s. The weakness of these trucks are the tires. So consider a lone drone dropping pellets no more than an inch in diameter. They are matted plastic balls containing crazy glue. The truck runs over these balls and the crazy glue is suddenly everywhere and for a second it will glue the tire to the road. It will take more than one pellet, but every pellet will rip these tires apart. One load should disable several trucks and there we see the benefit. Suddenly the IRGC will have to check every inch of every road where they travel. And where there is no tarmac, a rubber solving solution could be engaged, same effect different setting. It will not stop the drone stage, but now it is hindered by checks and safety settings. Optionally it is merely one cog in a system of attacks. And as they see optionally harbours and railway systems collapse. Iran will suddenly see the new setting where the gulf states give them a simple ultimatum: “Stop, or else” and I believe that Iran will suddenly see the light as they have never faced a three pronged attack in ways they never considered and it will not be coming from the United States. Suddenly they trade 2 enemies for 8 (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq and Oman are added) and those are Islamic enemies, but they had that coming. I am not pretending that this setting is perfect. This IP might only be used a few times at most, but now their deployment settings are hit with delay upon delay and that is a simple setting to start a larger stage.

So as we see “QatarEnergy chief says 17% of Qatar’s LNG export capacity knocked out in Iranian strike.” We can now bring the hurt to Iran in several ways and that is merely the beginning. We might applaud “The ONLY reason for restraint was respect for requested de-escalation,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had written in a post on X on Thursday. “ZERO restraint if our infrastructures are struck again.”” I reckon that Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani will be on why side of thinking, but personally it is time to stop restraint as Iran is hitting out to anyone they can hit and taking their infrastructures away might be considered the effect of ‘Zero Restraint’ and as they are given into a sense of dread because when the rails, roads and harbours are no longer dependable as options, they will see that being isolated is a massive downturn. As I see it, no islamic nation is willing to ‘aide’ Iran in any way and they did this to themselves. But as we are considering the other setting (I gave an airfield solution on the near past) the idea that Isfahan Shahid Beheshti International Airport is pushed out of operation. The setting becomes dire for Iran. They can talk a good talk. But they need deployments and that is now largely prevented or at least it will be delayed to a larger effect that they are happy with and as I see it, it will reset the deployment of drones and I reckon that this will open up a few more options, that is the benefit of hitting a fluidic setting again and again.

Is my land solution perfect? No, it is not, but it is one way to enter sand into the IRGC cogs of terrorism. And who knows, I might have more ideas that could be deployed by the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. That too is the nice side of a creative mind. There is always another idea forming and some are even less useful, but. I learned that these might lead to greater innovation. Nintendo might have one disaster as they created the WiiU but that led to the Nintendo Switch which is one of the most successful systems as it sold 155.37 million units worldwide (up to now) and it is now the second best selling console in history. So, don’t knock what might at first be a failure, it could lead to the success that many desire.

So, have a great day and I will likely be back with more in about 15 hours.

Alleged confirmation Bravo

That is what I saw. It was less then an hour after the previous article, as such I thought it was essential to get this to you quicker than the usual grace period of 15-20 hours. First news I saw was Deutsche Welle (at https://www.dw.com/en/iran-war-trump-says-no-more-israeli-attacks-on-south-pars/live-76422645) where we see ‘Trump says no more Israeli attacks on South Pars’, so why would anyone keep the refineries save of their enemies? Sun Tzu in the Art of war gives us plenty of reasons to stop Iranian money sources. And the article gives us “US President Donald Trump has threatened to “blow up” Iran’s South Pars gas field if Tehran continues retaliatory strikes against Qatar. He also promised Israel would stop its attacks on South Pars.” So one is threatening to do harm, the other one is actually doing harm and that is now stopped? To me (which might be wrong) is the setting that the United States want what Iran has and they are willing to put boots on the ground to set these places safe for the United States. And all along the Strait of Hormuz is still closed (to some effect). So whilst the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar remain under attack, others are cleaning their slate to get into the Iranian oil. And only 30 minutes ago we hear (via the Guardian) ‘Hegseth claims Trump ‘knew nothing’ about gasfield attack, declines to say when war will end’ as such we get a new setting. If this so called war is set in motion by the United States and Israel and these two do not talk strategy, what on earth is going on? As such I would like to call to attention Admiral Daryl L. Caudle, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), General Randy George, the current Chief of Staff of the United States Army, General Kenneth S. Wilsbach, Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force and General Eric M. Smith, who serves as the Commandant of the Marine Corps to attention. Not because I mean them ill will, but what kind of military is Pete Hegseth making them out to be (this might be restricted to the commanders involved) and that is also up for debate. So when we are given by the Guardian “When asked by a reporter whether he felt Israel was pursuing its own objectives, in relation to the attack on Iran’s South Pars gasfield which Donald Trump said the US “knew nothing” about, Hegseth said: “We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing objectives as well,” he added. He explained earlier in the press conference that the US’s objectives were to destroy Iran’s missiles, launchers, defence industrial base and navy, and for Tehran to never obtain nuclear weapon.” As I see it, there are no clear objectives, there is seemingly no clear communication and that is the mere start of this pile of stuff that makes the grass grow in Texas. I was in the mindset to destroy the capabilities of Iran (which I made available free of charge for both the UAE and Saudi Arabia. When you consider harbours and rails, Iran would be hindered immensely by taking those two out of the equation. There was also the need for someone to bomb the 10 refineries. Not threaten, just demolish these places. Refineries can be rebuilt (over time) and it would hinder Iran near completely and as these places are gone, its money spending days are over and as I see it, without money, there wold be a larger problem creating missiles and drones, they all cost money and resources. It might be oversimplified, but I am no longer in the army, actually I left the army before the Internet became a popular thing.

In addition we are given “Badr Albusaidi abandoned the usual reserve of diplomatic language to call the war a “catastrophe” and said Donald Trump’s administration had “lost control of its own foreign policy”. Albusaidi claimed the US and Iran had been “on the verge of a real deal” on Iran’s nuclear program twice over the last nine months, including in June last year when the process ended with Israeli-US attacks on the Islamic republic. He mediated a second round of indirect negotiations that resumed in Oman on February 6, with the final round held in Geneva on February 26. “It was a shock but not a surprise when on February 28th – just a few hours after the latest and most substantive talks – Israel and America again launched an unlawful military strike against the peace that had briefly appeared really possible,” Albusaidi wrote.” I cannot respond to this, but to see the accusation that the United States had “lost control of its own foreign policy” is troublesome to some degree. Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Oman as such I reckon he knows a few things and an accusation of that degree is troublesome. At present as I see it, this falls in the corner of President Trump and Marco Rubio. As such this accusation falls on their turf. Now (only 6 minutes ago) we are given “We’ve just heard from Pete Hegseth. He reiterated the claim from Donald Trump that the US president knew nothing about the attack on Iran’s South Pars gasfield. However, Reuters is reporting that Israel says its attack on the gas facilities was coordinated with the United States. It cited three Israeli officials.” And weirdly enough I wonder how these 4 United States commanders would react as we have a setting with three alleged Israeli officials. So who are these officials? If they are luggage officials at Ben Gurion airport listening to their radios it is one thing, if it involves members of the Israeli air force or/and Mossad, it becomes a very different thing. As such what does Reuters have? I do not know the source as such it is all alleged and presumably. It is just my thought on that setting. 

All this might be my economic downfall, but that is also presumed and even as I have data going back years, it merely might have connection to military actions and it would all be so much easier if there was clear communication and clear communication between fighting allies. None of that seems to be in place at present and my view? What doe the commanders of the involved parties have to say? Because that is one track that the media has allegedly not been considering. As I see it, it is quite simple and you merely had to read the Art of War to realise this. The alternative is von Clausewitz with his version ‘On War’ but I personally liked the Sun Tzu version better and it was written centuries before the other version. 

Perhaps I oversimplified the setting. Have a great day, it just became Friday for me (45 minute ago).
