The race is on

It is not a simple race. It is either the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia survives, or it is destroyed by terrorists. 8 hours ago, Politico (one of several, at https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/12/saudi-arabia-has-few-options-as-it-faces-mounting-threats-from-iran-and-its-allies-01073550) gave us ‘Saudi Arabia has few options as it faces mounting threats from Iran and its allies’ and make no mistake, all this was started by the United States and Israel. All whist the Gulf States denied the United States access to their terrains to engage in hostilities with Iran. As such I felt perfectly validated giving the Kingdom some of my military IP. And when we get the subtext “President Donald Trump seems reluctant to widen an already unpopular Mideast war as Houthi rebels threaten a crucial Red Sea shipping route.” We realise that the United States is done for. They cannot now, nor ever destroy Iran (even though I punished methods that are 98% cheaper) the world its realizing that the US is no longer an ally to rely on, it is not even an ally anymore. No matter what it is (basically less than nothing) it was bullying its way to Canada, Greenland and Venezuela. And whilst it’s limited victories are highlighted to include the name ‘America’ in places where it doesn’t belong (like the Gulf of Mexico, or Lake Ontario) or the name Trump added to the JFK centre and let not forget adding a tacky ballroom to the White House and the disasters aren’t letting up any day soon. So when the Iran clambake started on February 28th 2026 we get “Media trackers and network analyses (such as CNN) have documented at least 38 instances of Trump declaring that a deal to end the conflict was imminent” which makes the United States the laughing stock and the setting for Saudi Arabia who is (along with several countries in the middle) caught caught between q rock and a case case. And Iran is exploiting it for what it can and now the terrorist allies of Iran see their goal clear to cash in on this. Among them the Houthi terrorist and whatever is coming from Iraq. So when we get to “Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, has spent years trying to build a very different Middle East, with wide-ranging social and economic changes aimed at transforming the ultra-conservative kingdom into a global business hub in a more prosperous and integrated region.Those efforts suffered major setbacks after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which triggered one war after another. When the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, it responded with missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, and effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, bottling up their oil and gas exports and jolting the world economy.” So whilst through Hamas Israel has a decent case for attacking Iran, the United States seemingly has not. We can all agree that Iran is a terrorist state and a response to their hybrid warfare was necessary from an Israeli point of view. That much is clear, but Iran fearing for its life got all the others engaged, to muddy the waters and hoping for some islamic unison, all whilst the other gulf states would prefer a union with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and not with Iran. And whilst we think it is Iraq, the Deutsche Welle gave us 3 hours ago that the actual culprits are Iranian working from Maysan. As such it is becoming more and more clear that (as some would say) that the only good Iranian is a dead one and whilst I see that destroying the infrastructure is valid, I handed the IP tools to Saudi Arabia to make it happen. I have a different setting towards the Houthi terrorists. There I am in favour of eradication. The Yemeni House war was instigated by Houthis and it lay waste to Yemen in the last 12 years. As such there is no other option. The time to talk is over as I personally see it, and I had no issues giving my military IP to Saudi Arabia. 

So when we get the response “Trump on Saturday said Iran “probably” was behind the Saudi pipeline attack. Asked about a recent call with Saudi’s crown prince, he said: “He’s a good friend of mine, and I can just say everything’s going to work out fine and dandy.”” We can see what kind of a joke this United States administration has become, and when we see the additional “Trump shrugged aside the idea of increasing military pressure, as some U.S. hawks have suggested. “Maybe I don’t do that because of the election,” he told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

Ratney, the former U.S. ambassador, said it would be difficult for the Saudis to achieve their objectives without consistent U.S. support, which they had at previous times while fighting the Houthis. “My understanding at this point is the White House is not enthusiastic about getting involved,” he said.” We get to see first hand what a losing party this administration has become. And with the “It would be difficult for the Saudis to achieve their objectives without consistent U.S. support” we see what they are made of (and it is not good) all whilst my methods (whilst unproven) were proven in France during WW2, and it takes away 98% of the cost, so what stopped them? I saw a way to include the harbours stopping Iran from progressing in a way they currently are and my personal sight is that the Gulf states invite China to become the real ally that they need. For China it would be a big win, because it takes away the options for the United States and they will solely need to rely on their own oil, all whilst they are close to 2 trillion in deficit and that is likely to end the economy of the United States. It then allows for a union with the UAE and Canada (optionally the whole Commonwealth) taking the United States out of nearly all theaters of commerce, collapsing their tariff stage for over 90% (I hate the term 100% loss), there are always the fools that are smitten with bully tactics and there will be some left, even though most will see that it was basically the last tactic the United States has left.

Am I right?
That is a fair question to ask, the Saudi setting requires assistance, even if it is genuine concern by trustworthy parties. As I see it, the United States is no longer worthy of that title and perhaps there is a move that Canada could make, because they are real allies and they have real economic gravitas, but I cannot answer for them as I am not Canadian. The silence from the other Commonwealth parties is too deafening to be taken seriously. I believe that the UAE and Saudi Arabia should unite their efforts. I have always believed that and I still believe that the gulf states could unite (without Iran) with Saudi Arabia and the UAE heading that table. But this is speculative, not even presumptive. It still needs a direct action against Houthi terrorists and the other nations need to see this, because no matter how it ends, Houthi terrorists will come after all the other domains (optionally with Iranian support) and that is what it always was working towards. And at that point Shia muslims will destroy Sunni muslims, or make them inferior and whilst Makkah and Medina are the real prices that they covet, it will transform into the need of all gulf nations under rule of Shia states. That is merely my speculative view and even I wonder if I would be that correct. It feels like it, but a ‘feeling’ is not ever valid evidence in the matter. 

So have a great day today.

Mirror, mirror

So, here I was thinking of a few historically documented events (they are called movies now), so in  1937 a man named Walt gave us the recollections of a girl who used to live with several  individuals, namely Warwick David, Peter Dinklage, Kenny Baker, Mike Edmonds, Malcolm Dixon, George Claydon and David Rappaport. They all worked in the mining industry. But then I saw this so called ‘evil person’ with a magic mirror and then I saw it, that bitch was a Technomage. She was using a magic mirror (aka raspberry pie fitted two way mirror) to set the stage. What an evil wench. Well, two can play that game and as the idea took hold of me, I starting to consider.

So what if a new place like Warner Brothers Abu Dhabi had this gimmick, a mirror that is also a communicator. It links to your mobile and allows two way communication with whomever you are talking to. The idea is to apply a filter (through the app) that gives it that magical shine. And taking the elements of Hogwarts, there are 4 options. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor, the all have the same filters except two, these are house driven. A smoky filter (Yellow, Blue, Green and Red) and now, as we are now 89 years later, we have basically mastered miniaturization and we can make it a lot smaller. I would argue that each house has two options, the mirror you can set on your desk and a smaller one that you can fit in a bag, and when you answer the call, the mobile sends it to the mirror. I would argue that you could have 4 buttons on the mirror so you can call your 4 best friends, optionally these buttons are on the frame, so that the buttons can be a little bigger and the 5th on the mirror initializes the call. Wouldn’t that gimmick (original ‘creator’ the evil bitch from Walt’s company) fit nicely in the arsenal of merchandise that could be created and there are a few months before the new TV series start and I reckoned that the Abu Dhabi park opens up either in that same time, but the article tells us that this part of WB will open I 2029, as such Miral (the operator in Abu Dhabi) has time to look at the the options to create this merchandise for real and create alternatives. Or, at least investigate whether this idea could be made real. And from there they could offer it to the Wizarding World for real. A small idea to hand to Miral is that the United States is almost out of cash, so handing them credit might not be the best idea. 

Well that is it for me and this idea came out of the yellow (I’m a Hufflepuffer). In other news Blooloop confirmed two days ago “Warner Bros. has confirmed that the Harry Potter area in its Abu Dhabi theme park will be the only one in the world to feature recreations of the iconic Hogwarts Castle and Diagon Alley locations, as well as a Forbidden Forest.

We got last week (1st September) when Warner Bros. released a teaser video for the expansion at its annual ‘Back to Hogwarts’ event.” The video can be seen (at https://blooloop.com/news/harry-potter-abu-dhabi-lands) so at present you know as much as I do, apart from the innovative ideas that are forming in my mind to upgrade the mirror setting. Oh, as we are also given (by Blooloop)“Currently, the only theme park home to a recreation of Diagon Alley is Universal Studios Florida. A scale model of Hogwarts is found in the neighbouring Islands of Adventure, and although it is connected to Universal Studios Florida by a replica of the Hogwarts Express train, it is a completely separate park.”

So that’s it for today and I need to think of another filter to make the mirror ‘more’ magical and why stop at 2? The idea to insert the house crest in your communication is also an idea and there is more. The idea to link the apps that you have to the mirror when you are not communicating, as such whatever app is on your mobile (like accio dobby) or whatever the app world has to offer now, just thinking out of the box.

Have a great day today.

The Tourist package

That is not always what it seems, but in this case it is a setting that Google (Apple too) could facilitate. Not sure where Apple is, because I am an android person, but safari as I can tell (using my iPad and so forth) Apple could fit this setting too.

My mind was wondering as I was on a imaginary well deserved vacation to Abu Dhabi and I was walking the Yas mall. Some ideas struck me, there was no real reason of this and there was no setting to this, it merely hit me. So, when you are on vacation, you tend to be away from it all and for me (a pure workaholic at heart) that is not always as good as it sounds. And there the idea started to come. So whilst I was aware of Chrome cast and Google Streamer (a little less aware of that one). Ideas started to form. You see, we all have this setting that we want to know what is possible and the idea formed that Google needed an Away option. An encrypted setting that could make a difference. So as this ‘package’ is set to your mobile, it can be filled with all kinds of information

So whilst most hotels now have smart TV’s, the tourists do not use this to the max and that is where my idea came in. And it was not just hotel, there are plenty of places where you have access to a TV and there is the rub. Why not use any of these options?

So whilst in your hotel, the mobile can be set to focus on ‘away’ events and that could also impart with government settings. For example someone visits Abu Dhabi from Amsterdam and they are in Abu Dhabi and in stead of searching for all information, the app has an encrypted package that is fed into the system and through that Google/Apple is able to distill information to you and to your TV. Making sure that the package is not left in the hotel, it will remain on your mobile. And it is read to the Google streamer system (or its equivalent Apple system) so when you are wherever you are (I used Abu Dhabi as an example) the network will give you what you need to know, including government warnings (it there are any) The simple thing is that this system can be upgraded any place you want, but it is left on your mobile. 

So whilst we do not consider this directly, local news settings could be part of this and when hotels upgrade their Google/Apple streaming settings when they are ready all the guests tend to be ready too. So whilst you can direct search settings and compute them in the app you use, for example: ‘Netherlands, NOS, News, [Amsterdam], [Netherlands]’ and a whole range of other settings. For example your favourite news on YouTube like for example CBC News could be added and so forth. The idea is that you have a clear setting when you go on vacation and you will be instantly alerted to things happening when they are. And the you get back to your hotel and you select the app, the TV gives you the latest issues in play.

I reckon that Google/Apple might want to get ahead of this, because this idea doesn’t stay quiet for long and that is the case with any idea. So, if this interests you, have a go and be happy and if not, then not. Vacation is to be enjoyed, but I have learned that staying out of touch comes with a few setbacks and they need not be that for you. I merely had an idea and I decided to offer it to the net and see what comes of it. Optionally it is my delusional thoughts that have no place on vacations, but the setting in the USA at the moment are bringing that setting to the surface and whilst we acknowledge that Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘A house of dynamite’ is merely that, a movie, a story but when you see that the white house loudly announces “President Donald J. Trump has secured U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela” and when we are also given “all at zero cost to the United States” people tend to get nervous, because a barrel yields about 19 to 20 gallons (72 to 75 liters) and as petrol is now at roughly $4 a gallon, the White House seemingly proclaimed that they got $5.2 trillion dollars in fuel, at zero cost? What kind of government does that? As such people are getting nervous and I thought of a solution where people could go on vacation and at a moments notice keep informed. That and the fact that people in Nepal could have used this solution optionally last week. It wouldn’t stop the disaster, but in times of stress information remains at a moments notice (if possible) and in arms length. So that is another idea and I might be Google ended, but as I see it Apple could use it too or Elon Musk’s Star link. Because in times of stress there is reason to opt this as wide as possible and I am not on the payroll of any of these three, I feel perfectly validated to hand it to all. 

Have a great day you all (hopefully free of stress)

Escalation on the menu

That is what I saw and I was alerted first by this by FirstPost (at https://www.firstpost.com/web-show/firstpost-live/war-is-coming-saudi-arabia-ready-to-bomb-houthis-as-attacks-escalate-firstpost-live-4k-vd2102436/) where we learn ‘‘War Is Coming’: Saudi Arabia ‘Ready’ to Bomb Houthis as Attacks Escalate’ apart from the title which I think is incorrect as Saudi Arabia should have been ready to bomb Houthi forces back to the stone age months ago (A Trumpian expression). We see “Saudi Arabia could be preparing for a renewed confrontation with Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, according to a report by The New York Times, raising concerns that the Iran war could trigger a new battlefront in West Asia. The report cites analysts who warn that tensions between Riyadh and the Houthis could escalate” But this story seems straight forward and I don’t do straight forward. You see, at the same tie we get Al Jazeera (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/28/six-months-of-war-between-iran-us-leave-arab-states-facing-tough-questions) who gives us ‘Six months of war between Iran, US leave Arab states facing tough questions’ where we see “Analysts broadly agree the United States and Israel’s war on Iran will not see regime collapse in Tehran or a definite victory for Washington, but rather a dragged-out affair of stagnation and attrition.” It comes with the added “All in all, the region remains in flux where formal alliances with outside powers no longer guarantee safety.” And the second statement is the first pebble that makes sense. There is another setting given to us, it is ““There is no chance of the government in Tehran falling in the next six months,” Hellyer told Al Jazeera. “If everything were to theoretically stay the same … with just increased economic pressure, that could eventually cause a ripple effect that could lead to state collapse in Iran. But we’re talking years, not months, and everything is not likely to stay the same.”” As well as “Exacerbating the Gulf states’ difficulties is that, although the price of oil has risen, so has inflation. In addition to the economic difficulties the war has created, there is also growing pressure for Gulf states to invest more in defence.” This is as I personally see as the second pebble. Then we get Energy Now giving us (at https://energynow.com/2026/07/houthi-leader-threatens-saudi-oil-facilities-if-riyadh-escalates-in-yemen/)  with the title ‘Houthi Leader Threatens Saudi Oil Facilities if Riyadh Escalates in Yemen’ as I stated it is time to take of the gloves and decrease the Houthi population by a lot. And I believe that many of the Saudi military are on that same page. They will not state this because the await orders from Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman Al Saud and optionally the man above him which should be Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and they both take directions from King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia and I reckon that they have had it playing nice with the Houthi terrorists. So yes, as I see it, war is coming and it is not the whole enchilada as Mexicans will state. So what are we missing?

You see, if my foresight of the United States being utterly broke is that these escalations are meant for the United States to get back on the horse whilst they are not ready for anything in the next 10 years. They created a mess in the middle east and the oil in question they have too, so they are making a massive gain there. But the $40,000,000,000,000 is not easily swayed, the oil revenue could possibly fund the interest for several years. And the second pebble I gave you was “growing pressure for Gulf states to invest more in defence”, which is the second stone of revenue, but as I see it, they caused the mess, so why give them the revenue? That is the setting that they overlooked. There is now ample reason to tighten the bonds with China and I reckon that China has the same sights in view I have and they might be on top of this already. They have the Chengdu J-20 (aka Mighty Dragon) they also have the Shenyang J-16 and the Chengdu J-10C Vigorous Dragon. This is before we consider that Saudi Arabia might turn to the EU to get samples of the Eurofighter Typhoon to smooth things over, optionally going to that front for at least one squadron. All revenue lost to the United States. I predicted this as much years ago. But I have corroborating evidence. The entire bombing of Iran all whilst refineries stood standing, how does this make sense? I gave IP to Saudi Arabia and the UAE early march to scuttle whatever Iran had to incapacitate their options. Also I showed how a small squadron of drones could impede whatever Iran thought it could produce. These are simple methods to tae down an army and the Pentagon knows this. They read even more than I have and I came to this conclusion and I for one already gave Saudi Arabia the means to also take down the Houthi terrorists. So if the United States would not handle terrorists, I would (I know this is exaggerated ego speaking). But when you see these elements, do you think I am wrong?

So when you consider “There is no chance of the government in Tehran falling in the next six months”, all whilst we heard “President Trump has announced Iran’s defeat 106 times, claimed the country was destroyed 95 times, promised an imminent deal 88 times” how can the Pentagon be that wrong? As I see it it was never the goal to ‘defeat’ Iran, merely for the others to be unable to get the upper hand in all this, when the United States proclaim it cannot pay interest bills (which is likely in 2028) they will lose whatever they had and it will take the Gulf States a decade to repair what it had and the is just not on with me. So as we were given that President Trump reported over $2.2 billion in revenue during his first year back in office in 2025 and billions more, I reckon that he is stocking whatever he can and wherever he can, because when the United States goes down he wants his billions in a zero tax state and optionally Switzerland as well. So the pebbles are making wrinkles in the water, but someone is diluting that view with “global war settings” But as I see it, this should not be allowed and there is an apparent lack of illegalities of the actions by President Trump and he made ‘friends’ in the right places and when the USA declares itself insolvent Trump loses all his friends and he needs his savings to be safe, because as I see it the people will come in millions to Mar-a-Lago all armed with pitchforks and torches and at that point it might no longer be the safest place for President Trump. Perhaps he will sell that in the 11th hour for a few more coins, but that is what I see and I had hoped that Saudi Arabia and the UAE would unite to keep the gulf safe and Saudi Arabia set up with Pakistan the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, which is now superseded by the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement which gives us a defence pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey signed into force on 7 August 2026. Which is good, but I personally think that the UAE and Bahrain should be part of this. I am hesitant for Qatar and Iraq to join, but it is a mere feeling. I have no corroborating data of any credible nature. But the setting that Qatar has had with Hamas and Hezbollah there is chance that the influences are ‘poisoned’ by Iran but this is a mere feeling. There is no evidence as I see it and I go by evidence every single time (or personal presumption in some cases).

So whilst we see this, and we need to see that the entire Iran setting was started by the United States and Israel, but then Iran did something stupid, they attacked the gulf states (without clear provocation) and tried to erase the UAE with over 2,200 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) aimed at Emirati territory, as such Iran is now non-welcome in most gulf states. They also fired on the other gulf states, but I reckon I made my case there. And the setting is required for others to see this. You see, the UAE is a direct threat to US technology and I speculate that is why Iran attacked it, perhaps they were promised certain leeways from the United States, but that is pure speculation. So, as I am still questioning what the rationale thought was behind that, the clarity is supposed to see that they could have send these 2200 drones to Israel, that is a country that attacked them. I am not anti-Israel, but when you attack a nation you get treated to drones (and more) but that might be my simplistic mind. 

As such, perhaps China has a decent way to dal with the Houthi problem, as a simple weapon test mind you and that could fuel the purchase of weapons from China, now the options lie with the EU to counter that offer, but I reckon that they are hesitant to act, which is understandable. 

So in all an almost simple setting, the question becomes what happens next? I have no clue because I am not in the know with Saudi defense plans. So you all have a great day and try to enjoy a cup of coffee (my next move).

Never American

That is the setting we are given and it starts with (that nasty Canadian) CBC. I merely added the TNC mention so that the people in the United States see what I am talking about. It all started yesterday when I was given (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buy-canadian-movement-coming-back-9.7321802) ‘Consumers say ‘resolve is strengthened’ to buy Canadian, bringing patriotic shopping movement back to life’ and I am not surprised, whilst that person (an apparent joker) named Jamieson Greer wanted dairy access and booze access for American to Canada. I already states (I think it was last week) that this access does not guarantee that the Canadians will buy it and behold, we see “Since the U.S. first imposed tariffs on Canada in early 2025, Francine Piché has made a point not to buy American products. “The rule in our house,” said the Burlington, Ont., resident, “is Canada first, non-U.S. second, and never American, if we can avoid it.”” And there you have it from the mouth of an Ontarian (who now has to allegedly swim in Lake America) Never American. 

And when we get to “Piché has switched her personal care product brands, cancelled her Amazon membership and abandoned plans for a trip to New York in an effort not to give her dollars to the States, except when she can’t find another alternative.” You will see that the impact is a lot worse than some people think it is. So whilst tourism is in partial denial that there is an issue, over 75% of all Canadians went to the USA in 2024. This was settled in an unconfirmed way into ‘Canadian travelers spent roughly US$20.5 billion and supported 140,000 U.S. jobs’ as such the job market is taking a beating, billions that went into the USA is now going into the EU, the Commonwealth  and the gulf States. You still think I am beating around the bush? And for the booze section, as the Commonwealth has several options. Rum from Bundaberg, Gin from London, Vodka from Sweden, Whiskey from the UK and Scotland, as such when we see that “U.S. distilled spirits exported globally reached $2.37 billion in 2025, with major markets including the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Australia” I reckon that these three importers will now take the largest part of the American export share. So when we see more billions in sport being denied from the United States, the message becomes clear. We have had it with the administration of the United States and don’t think that it ends when someone kicks him out of the White House, this will take the better part of a decade to fix and there is no real expectation that it is going to get better any day soon, so when the tourists are gone and the booze is no longer accepted, what do you think will happen to what was at some point called ‘the land of the free?’ It is shackled to a burden that no one ever wanted. So when you get to the small stuff (like Approximately $41.6 million of maple sugar and maple syrup was exported by the United States in recent international trade data) how much is left after this is settled that people will prefer Canadian? So when Australia, the UK and other commonwealth nations will exclusively import from Canada, the larger setting is reached. And whilst I advocated for Tourism to abandon the United States, the larger groups of goods from the United States should be rejected from 2027 onwards. So there goes the economy of Vermont and Maine. As we see this happen, we need to take heed of another setting that the Conversation  gave us. (At https://theconversation.com/why-the-us-canada-trade-war-could-change-how-american-farmers-grow-their-crops-for-years-290504) where we see ‘Why the US‑Canada trade war could change how American farmers grow their crops for years’ and important section might be overlooked by a lot of people. Until yesterday I was not aware either. You see “Canada’s list includes dairy products and agricultural equipment, and there is an unspoken threat that it could expand to a crucial component in fertilizer that U.S. farmers rely on. I have studied agriculture and water quality for more than a decade, including whether trade rules change how farmers manage their land. In my assessment, the enduring effect of this trade war on U.S. agriculture, if it continues to escalate, won’t be a single bad season. Across thousands of farms, farmers may have to reduce their fertilizer use as prices – already high from supply disruptions because of the war in Iran – rise. It may have little visible consequence at first, but the lasting impact could emerge later in smaller future harvests if this trade war continues.” Do you have any idea what happens with a population when these harvest settings are thrown in turmoil? My father lived through the settings of hunger in WW2, the impact that it had on the population was enormous. Although, some will say that the female population was near 100% size zero, it is no way healthy and that is the setting that the United States has coming towards them, that is beside the point that the tariffs on power could trow the settings of this coming winter into a much larger state of animosity. I reckon that the Trump family will be a lot less safe in New York from 2027 onwards, New York largely relies on power from Canada, not to mention a few other states. Even states like California get part of their power through Canada. I guess that when power on the tariff that it fees, Hollywood productions will shut down really fast. All revenue lost and lets not forget the one anchor that comes every year the interest and it is now set to approximately $1,200,000,000,000 and as the setting is reduced to the United States, that bill will take on the shape of a behemoth. So whilst we get denial (through the CBC) where we saw ‘Trump’s top trade negotiator disputes Canadian assertion that U.S. made last-minute demands’ we can think that he lied, what is likely to have happened that he tried to slip in small settings on day one and when they come to the surface at the end of the talks, Ottawa pulled the plug on it all and as I see it, Canada isn’t the needy one, the United States are with their reduced revenue and increased interest payments. Canada has options and as I see it, the United States had to play a very different game here, but it is likely that the playbook Jamieson Greer was working with what handed to him by the White House who is great at bankrupting business, but not so good in maintaining a decent revenue setting and we are seeing this all over the field.

So whilst some say I am a doom speaker, consider that I have been making mentions of these elements for months and now that they all come to bare (not bear) at the same time, we will see politicians crying on how nasty Canada is. Well, they haven’t seen anything, because as the entire Commonwealth comes to the support of Canada the game changes and I was kind enough to hand the UAE and Saudi Arabia options for tourism and there’s more to come soon enough. So whilst some fake AI give you that “Total travel spending in the United States is projected to reach $1.42 trillion in 2027, marking a steady 3.4% growth from the previous year” all whilst the world is rejecting what the United States has to offer, so as you consider how fake the AI has become. This level of AI can only work with data it has and when it is fed preconceived data? The old GIGO law comes into effect (Garbage In, Garbage Out). A setting that was clear in 1984. 

Have a nice day you all and consider that these settings are of American makings. 350 million people make sure that Trump was elected president, take that in your pipe and smoke it, and when the infrastructure collapses, make sure you look in a mirror, because for over 50% of all Americans that is where you see the guilty party.

Just a coincidence

That is what it looks like and that is what I think it is. You see, two days ago I wrote ‘Haters will be haters’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/08/25/haters-will-be-haters/) and I wrote more going back all the way back to May 2025. So when I saw Al Jazeera giving us ‘France, Saudi Arabia agree on $7bn theme park project near Paris’ (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/25/france-saudi-arabia-agree-on-7bn-theme-park-project-near-paris) I felt relief. You see, France might be the first step, but there is every chance that Saudi Arabia is taking that knowledge to parks in Saudi Arabia. So it was not what I did, I merely foresaw what would happen and the setting towards the United States losing the advantage had in theme parks is now at an end, and all whilst they paid $7 billion to $7.7 billion is the estimated cost to build Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida just a year ago. And whilst this US administration is making matters worse, the world is uniting to make it more appealing to visit theme parks outside of the United States. Abu Dhabi with its Yas Island already achieved near perfection in theme parks and as I see it, Saudi Arabia is doing the same thing and optionally in different ways I still believe that an Arabian fairy tale park in Riyadh or Jeddah. My guess is that Jeddah might be the next thing. It has 4 million and it could divert congestion in Riyadh. Jeddah is ‘merely’ 955 km away. Should a high speed railway be added to this track that trip could be reduced to 3 hours and open up (allegedly) other settings as well. 

So as we read “France and Saudi Arabia have announced plans for a six-billion-euro ($7bn) amusement park near Paris, following talks between French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the Elysee Palace.” This is good for both countries. Knowledge and dividend go hand in hand here and I reckon that this will also have an appeal to the 6 million muslims in France. So as the setting increases the dividends also increase and too bad for the United States, less income for them. But that is baking up the wrong tree as they now proclaim ‘U.S. Remains World’s Largest Travel & Tourism Market But WTTC Warns That the Country is at a Crossroads’ with “The United States remained the largest Travel & Tourism market in the world in 2025 but is losing market share according to the World Travel & Tourism Council’s (WTTC) latest Economic Impact Research, sponsored by its Lead Research Partner, Chase Travel.” (Source: World Travel & Tourism Council’s) and as I see it, they will lose a lot more in the years 2027/2028. Especially when the EU, Saudi Arabia and the UAE up the ante for tourism. So whilst I was right all along in a few ways, I cannot take credit for these actions. I feel certain that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as well of mist of the people in charge have never heard of my blog and I believer that this is the truth (no matter how much I need those coins) the truth of the matter is that I saw these settings come up and whilst some are in denial and ‘editing’ their numbers I saw the bigger game and that is why the United States with all their ‘toddler’ acts of changing Lake Ontario to Lake America these distractions are putting the media on the wrong foot, the real setting is that America is losing money and they are losing more and more and I was happy to help them lose money. You really shouldn’t attack people I care about (I meant Canada) and whilst we see more and more losses for America, I also thought it was important that the Commonwealth and the EU had places to go as such I saw Saudi Arabia and the UAE as the most likely candidates. The UAE had Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia had Riyadh and I think that they could use a second setting as such Jeddah and Dammam came up. Jeddah is bigger, as such more likely to have a lot to offer and the draw back of Dammam is that on the other side of the Sea of Dammam is Iran, not the best place until they are deleted from existence. On the other hand Jeddah is a mere 400 km from Medina, the place where the prophet Muhammed established the first Islamic state, united the local tribes, and built the political and religious center of early Islam. As such this place should be have a large appeal to the 1.9 billion Muslims and that needs to be taken into account, especially if there is a tourism growth in Saudi Arabia. 

So I felt relief and actual happiness to learn that Saudi Arabia is growing its footprint in the EU. That this footprint is transferred to Saudi Arabia is merely simple sense in the matter. And my ego likes the feeling that I have been right all along in more than one way. I will admit that I did not see this setting come, but in light of what I learned in the Al Jazeera piece “The project stemmed from a discussion between Macron and MBS in December 2024 in Riyadh, where they discovered their “shared passion” for manga, “and in particular Dragon Ball Z”, an adviser to the French president told reporters.” And in my ‘haters will be hater’ story (see link above) I wrote “optionally the Boulevard City (Riyadh) if they could set this to famous Arabic cartoons.” So suddenly that part and the part where we see ““shared passion” for manga, “and in particular Dragon Ball Z”” are starting to take shape in a few connected ways. But that might merely be me. I didn’t know about the one and I am still believing that this coincidence was insightful, but nothing more than that. So whilst we look at these ‘coincidences’ we need to see that my insight has a setting that is driven to the growth of ideas and IP’s and my stories bare that out, so when other elements are proving me right, there is relief and I feel slightly less nuts (because for the most I am). So whilst the people give credence to calling a place that was appearing in maps and records by the mid-17th century and it is set in Canada and it is now ‘delusionally’ opted to be named Lake America, where are the crazy vibes coming from? I feel happy to give The United States more to worry about and hand tourism ideas to places outside of the United States and apparently French President Emmanuel Macron is on that same page (for obvious local reasons)

So have a great day and consider where you are now and where you need to be after 2028, because when the American dream comes crushing down, you are left with nightmares and that is not me, it came from Andrew Sheng, a prominent Malaysian banker who stated that in the documentary Inside Job (2010) he literally said “When those dreams turn out to be nightmares, other people pay for it.” As such it makes sense that you are away from that place when the nightmares come calling. But that might merely be me. Have a great day.

Haters will be haters

That is the setting I saw. You see, I have been looking at some of the video’s on the theme parks and see what could be applied towards theme parks in Saudi Arabia and the UAE (not the same ideas) and when I saw the video on Universal Kids which is based in Frisco, Texas. So as I was expecting some hater view, but the delivery was pretty spot on, I would say that the people in Saudi Arabia and in the UAE (Miral) should see the video (or visit on person) to see how things should not be done. You see, I saw the setting of the park called Le Puy du Fou (France) and it would be a great idea for Sindalah giving the people (and tourists) a decent entertaining frontier for those in Sindalah. There was the setting of rides in the Dutch Efteling which could have embossed Warner Bros. World, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi (this was before the Harry Potter park was announced) but that should not have stopped the idea. You see, as the United States falls deeper and deeper into disfavor with the tourists in the world, these people want an alternative and as some people do not want the pressure and the massive heavy congestion, packed buses, and crowded pedestrian crossings that Tokyo brings (I still hope to see it with my own eyes at some point). But the settings are out there and I want to be careful not to promote haters (they’ll always remain haters) but the story behind Universal Kids is a warning that should not be ignored and whilst it is true that it is great for young children, the setting that rides like these should be added to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. You see I am the kind of person that does not agree that it should fit all, there are places that are specifically for Kids (the young ones). The Efteling (Netherlands) has the mushroom forest, which is not for the adults (parents excepted). But this setting could easily be added to the Park Dubai Miracle Garden, and optionally the Boulevard City (Riyadh) if they could set this to famous Arabic cartoons. So whilst there are plenty of options, the stage for both requires additions (optionally upgrades) and the biggest seen setting here it Ferrari World, as I see it, it was created in 2010, as such upgrades/additions are pretty essential, especially as the official tickets go for $131.25, but there are cheaper versions like the Abu Dhabi pass which costs a mere $22, so plenty of money savers to be found, but I think that additions are required. And that gave me an idea to something I noticed, a setting that has a random factor in it all, I give you the following two pics. It is the mere setting of the ride (not the ride itself) you need to get a graphic designer for that.

and

So we see the first image and these circles are the ride connector discs, and whilst the ride has a random factor, the setting is that you go from disc to disc towards the end. There is a logical ‘randomisation’ on how the ride progresses and that ride gives a little extra, then the lower image is the second setting, and the three parts after that is the demarcation place at the end of the ride, after which the rides go back to the start. 

A few years ago I gave (based on the setting of the Efteling Dream flight) a magic carpet ride, but there are a few safety issues. I was going from a seat on the carpet with a safety belt on it. I came to the conclusion that a bag of gemstones and gold could be added as a chair and get the safety belt on that. But the appeal was the flight over the park and an added setting for the ride, as such it could still be added and whilst it might sound corny, the setting might work. So there was that. And it matters now, as there is too much negativity of the current parks of the United States. And whilst too many are seeking another option, one that keeps the United States out of it all, that setting is very likely to be in play in 2027-2031, because this president has made the United States a no place to visit for several years after he is put up to pasture (which is in 2029) and it will take years for tourism to pick up after that. As such, we need more and whilst the EU has its places (and very good ones), there is place for Saudi Arabia and the UAE to shine stronger as a tourist location and when you consider that they could find appeal to the 1.9 billion muslims there is growing interest from non-muslims. As such both places Abu Dhabi/Riyadh might increase the setting of a growing touristy population. 

As such the race is on, because some are seeing that the United States is becoming a no-go place (especially for Canadians) but other countries are feeling the same way. Have a great day all.

The outstanding question

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

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

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

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

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

Looking back in anger

This is where I am now and I am livid. So whilst the CBC gives us (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-trump-tariffs-trade-deal-negotiation-sectoral-relief-lumber-auto-steel-9.7309039) the story of ‘Negotiators fear U.S. tariffs will be imposed, as provinces and Washington dig in on demands’ where the setting is dictated by “United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said there are ‘a lot of issues’ with Canada, after being asked by a CBC reporter if there were particular areas the two countries couldn’t find agreement on. Greer said that for the U.S., the current situation ‘is not a trade war,’ but if a country retaliates, ‘we’re obviously not going to tolerate that” in me there was laughter and anger ‘Retaliate’ is not the proper word that orange person in the White House (sometimes) called ‘the Pimp of the United States’ needs an education on keeping his mouth shut. Canada will not now, not ever be regarded as the 51st state and for the other settings. I think it is nice of Canada take a page from Disney business. Should the setting of dairy products be pushed, it will be in the Disney terms that they have pushed settings. The United States will produce all goods and services on THEIR dime the means stocking and removing the dairy products. So when Jamieson Greer learns the hard way that Canadians have had enough of goods from the united states and they are left on the shelves, within two weeks they will reconsider their stupidity. In the meantime the US Alcohol is still in a setting that these diners need to come at a much cheaper price, because they take up shelf space and that costs too and when the people are not buying it, the second phase starts. So in this case I call on Jonathan Reynolds (United Kingdom), Don Farrell (Australia), Cameron Brewer (New Zealand), Piyush Goyal (India) and Jam Kamal Khan (Pakistan) with the urgent request that they talk to Canada (Mélanie Joly/Mark Carney) to see what goods can they take off the list of the United States and hand these options to Canada. It will not cover all goods and it is likely a mere trickle, but after that have the same conversation with the EU and after that the Gulf States and optionally China, but I reckon it would be possible to get over 80% transferred. This is what an angry person does and Jamieson Greer forgot about that. I reckon the air force never taught that flyboy that lesson in the JAG corps, but not to worry. I know several people who read the Prince (Niccolo Machiavelli) and the Art of War (Sun Tzu), as such they can figure out what I am up to. You see, the United States has a debt now surpassing $40,000,000,000,000 as such the interest due every year is now surpassing $1,500,000,000,000. And you don’t want to play golf in a china shop, the stock doesn’t last long and in this case it will last less and less time. So whilst the American Administration is wondering where that golden horned calf named AI is, they learn the hard way that there is no reprieve until at least 2035 and when that becomes an actual revenue stream it is already too late for the United States. 

And in all this, the freedom of speech (and expression), lives in the Commonwealth and as such we can reject the goods and services from the United States, it is our right. And I can suggest whatever I can to enforce the wellbeing of Canada, which might not be something Jamieson Greer likes, but I am not American, as such I don’t give a hoot for his likes and dislikes.

As such (I am decently certain minister Li Lecheng will applaud my action and optionally President Xi Jinping as well). This is a simple setting to cut down to size and I am happy to do so, because I am a Commonwealthian, so I will have the back of Canada whenever possible (except in Cricket, then I support Australia) We all have our priorities and whilst I prefer NHL (Toronto Maple Leafs) as such I say “No grit, no grind, no greatness” and I reckon the United States are about to learn this lesson the hard way, because if we get over 90% saved and Canada rejects any offer for water and energy the United States becomes a disaster area, one that they made themselves. 

So whilst I am feeling good as I come to the defence and in support of Canada. Jamieson Greer better learn the lesson he was unable to learn in the Air Force (a presumption he learned something there) that the Commonwealth holds a population of 2.5 billion and as I see it, there are 1.9 billion muslims not to happy with the United States either, that gives un now more than 50% of the planet who is now tainted with anti-US feelings and I know just how to direct that and I have chosen the goods and services that will no longer bear the seal of the United States. So how is the debt coming along Mr President? And when the European Union is setting the field to data sovereignty the options for Microsoft, Amazon, IBM and Google will also take a dive. I cannot predict how much, but it will be in the billions as such another avenue for paying interest bills will fall away. So whilst we see that the CBC has a few issues with the story they brought, it was not up to them as I see it, so they get a pass. As for cars? I have no real idea, but Canada can levy as much tariff as they can, counter the Trump levy and Canada has cars, optionally better suited for Canadian weather and the USA? They can rely in Colorado on Texas built cars and see how they get through winter. I merely addressed a few settings and I already addressed the weapons setting a few months ago for the UAE and Saudi Arabia. More money in their own coffers and optionally rejecting whatever US weapon manufacturers brought to the table. There is only so much I can do, but I reckon I have done enough to give Canada a few ideas and optionally other Commonwealth nations as well. So whilst some a Chinese danger. I think that the bad press that Trump gave them is showing now that players like Huawei has enough to bring to the table to warrant a setting to consider. 

Have a great day. Hopefully in 15 hours I will be a little less angry.

The idea that came

So, there I was day dreaming, when a thought just occurred to me. It happened when I was watching a Dubai Festival City Mall YouTube video and I saw saw the Tim Hortons stand. I asked for a cappuccino (in my mind) and I mentioned that I was peckish (a term I never use in real life, but I might from now on) I asked them for fried beaver tail (jokingly) and they did not have them, they did have a Double Sausage & Egg with Cheese Muffin which I ordered and devoured (scrupulously) but it set a few cogs in motion, which this is about. I noticed a fresh meat sandwich and that hot me going. There was a show of the Carrefour earlier in that video and this got me to give Carrefour a boost. You see, Dubai is rather warm (so is Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Riyadh, Dammam, Medina, Jeddah and Mecca) and as I have never seen this option in any Carrefour, I thought it was time to shine a light on this option. 

First we get the refrigerated bags (they have those, but the idea is not the bags, but what goes in).On the Inside we see:

A patch with three slots, these slots will fit cooling elements precisely. Now we get two settings, either they buy these cooling elements or they exchange them, The exchange might cost them 3-5 dirham per cooling element, they sell for whatever the norm is. Consider that these people might take an hour to get to the mall, they have a coffee and by the time they get to grocery shopping, these cooling elements are no longer able to cool. I reckon that they need to come in a satchel, and consider that they might come in Carrefour colours with the name ‘Carrefour’ on the pack. Now consider that this service will drive all kind of customers to the shop, especially tourists and out of town people. The idea that you can exchange (conditionally) of the woolpacks might drive a lot more people. Consider the lemonade and refrigerated items that you can sell when you offer a service like that. 

So whilst I am decently certain that the service does not exist. I wonder why no one thought of that. These packs need to be clean and when they are in their own satchel that is extremely likely to be the case. And I reckon that Carrefour has space for a small freezer at the cashiers holding up to 400 cooling packs and optionally a lot more in the back of the store. I see it as an essential service that places like this in the UAE (Saudi Arabia too) could offer. And as the revenue increases, it might become a free service of exchanging cooling packs (with certain demands) but here I am wondering why no one thought of it. I watched several Carrefour YouTube in Dubai (I did not see one of the Yas Mall) and the option was not given. I wonder why not, perhaps there is a good reason, but I cannot see it. 

So I sign of of this Sunday to become a lumberjack until Monday (snoring the night away), it is only 18:00 so I might kill some orcs and goblins to get sleepy. One Orc (hack), Two Orcs (hack), Three Orcs (hack), you get the process, its like counting sheep.

Have a great day. I will write more in about 15 hours.
