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.

The price of war

That is something that is on everyones mind. It isn’t always voiced as much, but it is there. From the increased price of oil, the increasing of groceries or the impeding absence of pay for the TSA. They all refer to it as one, but in fact it is the other.

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, allegedly said “Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.” I am using allegedly here, because I am not sure where he said it, the quote was passed to me. I had heard things of a similar nature in the last few days, but I cannot say if it is real, or if people are merely quoting each other. But it is one view and the lack of communication that the United States is releasing does not bode well. And beside that a mere 4 hours ago, we were given ‘Donald Trump says Iran sent US ‘big present’ as Pentagon readies thousands more troops for Middle East’ by ABC (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-25/iran-war-trump-to-send-thousands-more-troops-to-middle-east/106493972) where we see “Donald Trump says the United States is in negotiations with Iran to end the war as the Pentagon reportedly prepares to deploy thousands more troops to the Middle East. The US president said senior members of his cabinet were in talks with Iranian officials, who he said had agreed to “never have a nuclear weapon”.” We then get ““I’m not going to tell you what the present is, but it was a very significant prize.” He added that the mystery gift was related to the Strait of Hormuz — the critical choke point at the centre of the conflict through which about 20 per cent of the world’s oil supply passes.” It is my believe that if you hand a present, it is shown to the world, if not, it is merely heresy (aka bullshit), so are their boots on the ground coming in Iran? Are there actual peace talks? All questions that are not met by any kind of tangible evidence and the media is not asking the hard questions. 

I believe (aka speculation) that America is now so broke that it cannot pay for some if its bills and we see the beginning of a United States kind of Ponzi scheme. It is paying some bills and not others, those are (speculatively) paid next month. One such setting is the TSA, they apparently have not been paid since Valentine day. And as I see it, the media is not putting their eyes on this. Why not? So whilst we are given “TSA agents are working without pay because a partial government shutdown has halted their paychecks. As of March 17, 2026, this disruption is causing long security lines at airports due to increased call-outs and officers quitting during the busy spring break travel season.” And as TSA agents are considered “essential” workers, meaning they must continue to work without immediate compensation. So how does this compute? It does not. As I personally see it, the too broke too function setting is now in play and it makes sense that President Trump went after Canada (aka 51st state), Greenland (annexing it) whilst pissing of Europe and Denmark and after that Venezuela and whilst the oil is ‘worthless’ in the immediate setting and now it is up to Iran to capitulate their oil, which the United States can use. So, is my presumption just some blabber as it fits the situation? I have been writing about the impeding bankruptcy of the United States for almost 10 years. So am I wrong? I could be, because the patterns match the situation does not mean I am right, but there are more signs all around us that seemingly proves me right. Here I rely on ‘seemingly’ as there is a setting of experiencing apophenia, a person who sees patterns that aren’t there and I am clever enough to recognise this situation. I have seen it enough times in others, to realise that I am in such a premise as well. 

So, is it experiencing apophenia, or is it patternicity, or “the human tendency to perceive meaningful patterns, connections, or intentionality in random or meaningless data” either could be true, or I might be on to something. Normally the media is an option, but for the last decade it has been chasing digital dollars as well as relying on creating flames to keep the click puppets active. None of this gives the media more credibility and as such we are in a difficult spot. We might see what is, but those who should know are not doing their jobs because it doesn’t align with their business needs. Their business needs now come first and that is also the price of war. Whatever they need, is what others seemingly allow them to get. An almost vicious circle with no clear premise, no clear borders and a fluidic stage. Almost like setting the stage for acrobats and letting clowns stage the field, all whilst the stage master announces the person as Bello Nock. But when you were aligned to see acrobats, are you short changed, or are you given additional entertainment. When those lines become blurry, those behind the stage master see their field clear. I feel that this is the setting we are in now and when the United States is paying all bills (like the TSA) and no immediate bills are left, there would be the chance that I am completely wrong. But is that the case, or has the world moved on from the setting that John Maynard Keynes left us and are we in a much more novel stage that people like me cannot comprehend because I never learned to be an economist?

It remains a valid question, I feel that I am right, but is it real? Am I experiencing apophenia, or is there a stage of patternicity in play? And is this true, or are the ringmasters in play to make sure that the larger population cannot distinguish between the three.

Have a great day and don’t forget to feed the dolphins, because they will thank you for all the fish and you won’t know why.

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.

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).

Say what, when?

That is a statement we are familiar with. We get things wrong. You, me, people we know. But the setting that Al Jazeera gives us (at https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2026/3/18/top-us-spy-accused-of-omitting-iran-intel-that-contradicts-trump) is different. The setting that is given us is ‘Top US spy accused of omitting Iran intel that contradicts Trump’ a spymaster (yes, I am laughing at this too) should not be allowed to give us anything like “US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been accused of altering her Senate testimony on Iran, omitting details that contradict President Trump’s claim that the country posed an imminent threat.” You see, as a person of ‘direct interpretation of intelligence’ you are in a position that if you cannot say what you mean, you can never mean what you say. That is the direct involvement of Intelligence and as such we can deduce that America is more of a joke than anyone has been considering for some time. And this is not to the audience, as stated this is towards the people ‘steering’ that comedy stage. Altered intelligence was offered (as said) towards the US senate. That is a more ludicrous setting to say in the least. 

And it gets to be worse we get ‘US counterterrorism chief resigns over Iran war’ from Defense One (at https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2026/03/counterterrorism-center-head-resigns-over-iran-war/412171/) where we are given “The head of the National Counterterrorism Center resigned from his post Tuesday over the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Joe Kent, the head of the center, wrote in a letter to President Donald Trump.” As such we now get a new kettle of fish. I personally believe that the setting of “due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby” is additional dishonest. What it gives me is (beside a weird taste in my mouth) is that the setting that I have been giving for some time that America is too broke to matter, that this administration will steal whatever they can to get the revenue they need to pay interest payments. That could also result in the International courts in The Hague and the United Nations giving the United States a written summons to adjust or be made irrelevant. I think this is a much better resolution than Rubio telling the world that the United States decides on International law than the world does (a little sloppy explanation, but it suffices), like we see the how the United States are setting the setting for Cuba now. A setting that is merely muddling the pool. As I personally see it, it is a way to get Russia involved so that the United States can cry like little bitches that they are under attack from Russia, and Europe much act in its defence. 

So as we are now given a new state through Reuters as we are given ‘Exclusive: US weighs military reinforcements as Iran war enters possible new phase’ (at https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-weighs-military-reinforcements-iran-war-enters-possible-new-phase-2026-03-18/) a mere two hours ago. We see here “President Donald Trump’s administration is considering deploying thousands of U.S. troops to reinforce its operation in the Middle East, as the U.S. military prepares for possible next steps in its campaign against Iran, said a U.S. official and three people familiar with the matter. The deployments could help provide Trump with additional options as he weighs expanding U.S. operations, with the Iran war well into its third week.” But this has come AFTER Tulsi Gabbard has been accused of “altering her Senate testimony on Iran, omitting details that contradict President Trump’s claim that the country posed an imminent threat.” So the question becomes is Tulsi Gabbard the decoy to hide the financial setting of the United States, or is there more in play and that is something that the minute by minute logs will carry to the top of the limelight as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is approached by Iran and the Gulf states for financial appeasement because of the aggressive actions of the United States (and Israel). And do not think that this is out of the realm of possibilities. The United States (through President Trump) and its lackeys made statements like ‘Just for Joy’ and ‘no quester and no mercy’ all settings that does not fare well in the articles of war and beside the point that the United States never gave a writ through the declaration of war makes this an almost slam dunk for Iran. We can be against Iran for all we like (I personally am) but we adhere to the law and there Iran (the Gulf States too) have a valid claim in a setting of musical chairs the Gulf States against Iran and Iran against the United States and Israel. I tend to give the hand of adjustment to Israel, but is there an official declaration of war against Iran? Specifics matter in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and I get that, I am all for the law (even if it does not make sense at times) and the media is too some level at fault there as they have been omitting information at times because it didn’t ‘play well’ with its audience and as such there is a larger omission to deal with. If you doubt this, that is fair, bit tell me which international newspapers dealt with the setting that Defense One gave us in the setting that Joe Kent, the head of the National Counterterrorism Center. Who else had this in their intelligence summary? As some say, if you cannot say what you mean, you can never mean what you say and as it stands (as I see it), people like Tulsi Gabbard cannot hide behind episodes of expressive aphasia, so whilst we get to “The Trump administration has also discussed options to send ground forces to Iran’s Kharg Island, the hub for 90% of Iran’s oil exports, the three people familiar with the matter and three U.S. officials said. One of the officials said such an operation would be very risky. Iran has the ability to reach the island with missiles and drones.” We get to another setting in all this. Why send troops when it has been ‘bombed back into the stone age’? What is the need to put boots on the ground there? The Strait of Hormuz has more issues and troops there have seemingly no valid interest. It merely shows that the United States want to allegedly siphon off there what it can and that does not serve any purpose but their impeding invoices. But I might be wrong here.

The setting is that the media and through that parties don’t react the way they are supposed to, António Guterres is definitely one of them. When did he clearly speak out in favour of international law? Perhaps he did and the media merely ignored it. Too many questions and the fact that European leaders are ignoring Washington DC is perhaps the only clear setting we currently see. 

As I see it, the entire Iranian setting is about to be heralded the largest shit show the world has ever seen and I reckon the media will get their digital dollars out of that fine setting for a long time to come.

Have an optional great day, it’s almost Friyay.

Coloring glasses

That happens, it happens to us all. We see lines from others and it colors how we see things. It isn’t always given and it isn’t always handed to us. We need to come across these settings. Some coloring adheres to our own thought and some of it was not projected at all, but it makes sense and that is where points of view are created. Here I was almost ready to talk more about the next RPG setting when two articles hit me, one was merely someone telling us about his consideration on LinkedIn, the source doesn’t seem to be too impactful. The media is too courtesan driven towards the digital dollar, so they mostly lost credibility. There are a few exceptions mind you, but in this sea in turmoil of Yuan seeking entities, there is a need for reliable information. And I am no different, I might not be the wisest person on the planet (not by a long shot) but I do try to vet my sources (as much as possible), as such I try to find two sources of information as much as possible. This isn’t always possible, but that is my worry.

The first source is from Djoomart Otorbaev who was a Former Prime Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic, as such he knows a lot more about the region that I would ever had. He gives us:

Regime Change? The West Just Created a Harder Iran.
For years, #Washington and #TelAviv believed the same thing: pressure, isolation, and a decisive military blow could break the Iranian regime from within.
Instead, they just made it stronger-and more radical.
The appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has shattered the central strategic assumption behind the war.
The opposite has happened. By elevating Mojtaba Khamenei to Supreme Leader, Iran’s power structure has effectively consolidated around the hard-line security establishment, particularly the Islamic Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Reformists and moderates—already weakened—are now politically irrelevant.
The message from #Tehran is unmistakable: there will be no surrender. For the #US and #Israel, this is a strategic failure. The expectation was that decapitation strikes would either paralyse the regime or ignite internal revolt. Instead, the regime replaced its leader within hours and escalated militarily across the Persian #Gulf.
The symbolism matters.
During the Israeli strike on February 28, Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly lost not only his father but also his mother, his wife, and his son. If The White House hoped the new leader would seek compromise, it profoundly misunderstood the psychology of power in #Iran.
Personal loss in revolutionary systems rarely produces moderation. It produces vengeance.
Donald Trump has already dismissed Mojtaba as “unacceptable” and even called him weak. But inside Iran’s security apparatus the reality appears very different. Mojtaba has long-standing ties to the IRGC and reportedly enjoys strong backing among its younger and more radical commanders. In other words, the war may have elevated precisely the faction the West feared most. Operationally, Iran’s response has also revealed a deliberate strategy. Ali Larijani, now the central figure coordinating national security decisions, has overseen retaliatory strikes against targets across the Gulf. This is not the behavior of a collapsing regime.
It is just a horizontal escalation-expanding the conflict geographically and strategically to impose higher costs on a stronger opponent. History shows this tactic can work. It helped weaker states challenge American military power, for example, in #Vietnam and #Serbia. And Iran is now applying the same logic.
Ironically, the war appears to be producing something Washington never intended: a surge of Iranian nationalism.
Even many citizens who despise the regime are recoiling from the scale of destruction and the rhetoric suggesting that Iran itself could be dismantled.
Ironically, the war appears to be producing something Washington never intended: a surge of Iranian nationalism. The result is the worst possible strategic outcome for the West. And at its helm now stands a younger Khamenei-thirty years younger than the one who just died, and likely far less willing to compromise.
Regime change was supposed to weaken Iran.
Instead, it hardened it for a generation.

I believe him to give us the truth on what is happening and personally I am happy that I gave my military IP to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, they might need it and there is a larger setting that will evolve (I’ll get to that next), but the larger setting is again that President Trump has make the world stage a harder place for Americans. I can see this in myself. I auto disregard what he gives us as fact, I have never done that before regarding any US administration, but now I am on that setting. And I am not alone here.

Next we get to the Arab Weekly (at https://thearabweekly.com/lindsey-graham-got-his-war-he-has-no-idea-what-comes-next) where we see ‘Lindsey Graham got his war. He has no idea what comes next’ and we are given “A single senator, with no formal role in the chain of command, served as one of the primary architects of the most consequential American military action in decades.” I described that 2 days ago as “complete with a picture as he is standing next to his friends on the escalator” (he was taking the escalator alone), but here we also see “For nearly two decades, Lindsey Graham sat in the US Senate, giving speeches about Iran. He called the ayatollahs “religious Nazis.” He warned that diplomacy was a fool’s game and that the only thing the clerics in Iran understood was force. For nearly two decades, no one in the White House listened. Then, on a golf course in West Palm Beach, someone did. The strikes that began on February 28, dubbed “Operation Epic Fury,” were the product of several factors. Israeli officials lobbied aggressively, and the capture of Nicolás Maduro in January had put President Donald Trump in a confrontational mood. But the most persistent, effective voice in the president’s ear belonged to Lindsey Graham, the Senator from South Carolina. Graham’s pitch, delivered over rounds of golf and repeated in phone calls during the transition, was simple. Iran was a “spoiler” for everything Trump wanted in the Middle East, the expansion of the Abraham Accords, the normalisation with Saudi Arabia, the historical legacy. If Trump could “collapse this terrorist regime,” Graham told him, it would be “Berlin Wall stuff.”” I believe that the writer Elfadil Ibrahim struck the right chord. Yet I believe that the listener had other plans, this merely fit into the setting that needed address. And we see this in another article. In the Middle East Eye (among a few sources) give us (at https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/lindsey-graham-criticises-israel-over-targeting-iranian-oil-facilities) ‘Lindsey Graham criticises Israel over targeting Iranian oil facilities’ where we see “Republican senator says oil economy is ‘essential’ and that US will make a ‘tonne of money’ when Islamic republic falls” and as I see it, it was always about the oil. Canada wouldn’t budge, Greenland got European and Canadian protection and the oil from Venezuela is mostly useless, as such now we get to Iran and that isn’t falling the way it was and if we given credence to the words of Djoomart Otorbaev, America will be down in the bankruptcy dirt long before Iran falls, which I kinda accepted as the threats from Senator Graham towards Saudi Arabia were voiced. So, why ‘entice’ Saudi Arabia whilst the war is already won? I reckon it isn’t and ‘my toys’ were there to give additional protection to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, not to fuel the greed and stupidity of the United States. So whilst we are entertaining the largely dishonest quote from Senator Graham we see ““In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavour.” Israel struck over 30 oil depots in Iran on Saturday, including in Tehran and Karaj.” It merely shows how desperate the United States has become and at present the escape quotes seem to be adhered to. As I see it President Trump will likely ‘resort’ to a setting where Senator Graham is left holding the bag and that bag is getting mighty heave with each day after March 28th that Iran hasn’t fallen and my quotes over the last few days seem to be holding up to non-American scrutiny. And as I see it, the damage is increasing day after day and as the United States are getting to the tipping point of no longer being able to pay any of their bills, the excuses come that they were fighting for the freedom of the Iranian people and most of us will see the blatant ‘incorrectness’ of that statement. 

Personally I am happy that I never took up that position in Chicago in 1995, but there is no escaping what comes next. Unless you are a fat billionaire, or at least have at least a dozen million in your possession, the knock on the door will be on every other house that has bills and mortgages. So as we get back to the Arab Weekly, we see “When pressed on how exactly this transformation would occur, Graham becomes impatient. “The future of Iran is going to be determined by the Iranian people,” he told NBC’s Kristen Welker when she asked whether the administration had a plan. “No, it’s not his [president Trump’s] job or my job to do this. How many times do I have to tell you?” This is fantastical thinking, unmoored from history and the messy realities of regime change. The Wall Street Journal reported that Graham “likened Iran’s leader to Adolf Hitler and told Trump that Iran was in a historically weak position,” but the comparison reveals exactly what Graham misses.  It ended because the Allies had spent years defeating the German army on multiple fronts, occupying the country, and then investing billions in its reconstruction through the Marshall Plan. The US maintained a military presence in Europe for decades, and still does. That was the actual cost of defeating Nazism, and it is a cost neither Graham nor Trump have shown any interest in bearing for Iran.” I see merely one missing ‘adaptive fact’ the part missing is that their consultancy fee is in oil at $0.50 per barrel for decades to come, because that is what the United States yearns for, it has to pay bankers and they seemingly cannot.

It might be my colored glasses and they might not be correctly adjusted, but the media is largely no help in correctly adjusting my view, that and decades of data knowledge makes ‘dislodging’ my glasses a little harder for others. And I am not saying: ‘I am Correct!’ There is plenty to consider where I might be wrong and I am fine with this, just remember that I am not hiding behind the song ‘La Vie en Rose’, I like the Grace Jones version the best. I am not living in a pink colored setting. It is cold blue and not very nice. I know that, but we need to see that America is no longer an ally, it is merely thinking of themself and they will sell any Allie and neighbor down the drain to get what they want. For that I have Canada and Greenland as evidence.

Have a great day today.

What is news?

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

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

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

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

Hat in a hornets nest

That is the expression I was given, or better stated that is the expression I remembered as I read something in the Arab News. The actual expression is ‘kick the hornet’s nest’, which translates to “Saying something that makes a large group of people angry or upset all at once.” Which pretty much translates to the setting we have here. And in the Arab News we see “Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned remarks made by the US ambassador to Israel suggesting that Israeli control over the entire Middle East would be acceptable, describing the comments as reckless and a violation of international law.” And as I see it (no disrespect to Israel) is that the middle east can only set in a normalized way when it is controlled by Saudi Arabia and the UAE (a setting I always had faith in) and as far as I know, so does the larger international community. I have no problem that Israel is part of all this, as that is how I personal see it, but the remark by Ambassador Mike Huckabee is quite literally kicking the hornets nest. As such US envoy to Israel Mike Huckabee is trying to carry favor in Tel Aviv (my view on the matter) and that was ‘transmitted’ to Riyadh and the news we see now is the direct result of this. As such we now see “The ministry said the remarks represented a dangerous precedent, particularly as they came from a US official, and amounted to a disregard for relations between the US and countries across the region. It warned that such positions carry grave consequences and threaten global peace and security by inciting hostility toward the peoples and states of the Middle East, while undermining the foundations of the international order based on respect for sovereignty and internationally recognized borders.” I think that (should he have been directed by Washington, that Washington is trying a slightly different tactic, that optionally is shaped by some in a setting towards the Gaza ‘solution’, but I am grabbing at chopsticks at present. And that is a ‘variation’ of ““Grabbing at” food with chopsticks refers to the impolite, frantic, or picky behavior of searching through dishes to find specific pieces, rather than taking the item directly in front of you.” Washington seemingly wants to set the table by picking out the good pieces trying to carry favour and possibly trying to get to the larger stage by seemingly implying that they are making headway whilst the stuff in front of them aren’t being dealt with (or so it would seem). A setting that is my view on the matter. Weirdly enough, I am actually listening to Jesus Christ Superstar at present, which was unintended, but the setting brings a smirk to my face. 

So whilst the New Arab end the article with “The Kingdom reaffirmed its firm opposition to any actions or statements that infringe on the sovereignty, borders or territorial integrity of states, reiterating that a just and comprehensive peace can only be achieved by ending the occupation and implementing a two-state solution. That solution, the statement said, must include the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.” I like that setting as Hamas didn’t exist in those days and any solution that filters Hamas out of that is all right with me. I reckon that I am not alone in this, but that is what it is. I was around Rafah in 1982 and that mess was never dealt with and seeing that same mess half a century later gives me the thought that there is no hope for Palestine, not whilst Hamas is part of that. They did that to themselves and I feel it is essential to clean up that part of Palestine, only then can Palestine be pushed to something real. But as I see it, the remarks by the US Ambassador has no grounds, it was not to get a conversation started, it was merely to seemingly prepare the table with the big chunks of meat in front of the United States whist ignoring the larger settings that are driving any conversation nowhere. Because as I see it there will never be any solution in play whilst Saudi Arabia, the UAE and in this case Egypt are out of that equation. It makes sense that Israel is included in this conversation, but I don’t see it help any, it merely requires a solution they could live with, it is not something Tel Aviv would care to heard, but that is as I see it the reality we have here and no ‘Board of Peace’ is setting that scenery by whisking away the ‘good’ pieces of meat from that table setting. I could be wrong but that is my view on the matter. 

It might be simplistic, but that is what I see after watching that mess for almost 44 years. Have a great day out there. In this heat I feel the need for a cheese sandwich, a sandwich with cold pieces of cheese, for refreshment value of course.

Is anyone still in doubt?

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

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

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

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

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

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

And we’re off

That sounds like the starting noise of a race and you might not be wrong. You see, Abu Dhabi News gives us ‘Non-oil trade reaches 38.8 billion dirhams in nine months’ that boils down to C$15 billion in Canadian terms (A$ 15.2 billion in Australian settings). That is massive and this is excluding their largest stage, oil. As such it reflects on Real estate, groceries, Apple products and entry tickets to the attractions on Yas Island. This is big! 

We are given “The UAE and Kuwait continue to strengthen their economic and commercial relations through sustained bilateral trade growth, with non-oil trade reaching 50 billion dirhams in 2024, reflecting a 9% increase compared to 45.7 billion dirhams in 2023. This UAE-Kuwait economic partnership demonstrates the strategic depth of cooperation between the two Gulf nations, according to official data from the UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism.” The idea that they surpassed their 2024 numbers by well over 9% is reason to give it more attention. It implies that the UAE is surpassing their non-oil stage by approximately 9% year on year. I personally think that their windfall is coming from tourism (with people being fed up with the United States) might speculative, but when you look at the presented windfall that Yas Island is giving Abu Dhabi that  speculation is not that much of a stretch. 

And the settings for a pairing of Kuwait and UAE stage seems a stretch, but as we are given “Kuwait ranks as the 14th largest global trading partner for the UAE in 2024 and fourth among Arab nations. Meanwhile, the UAE serves as Kuwait’s second-largest trading partner worldwide and first among Arab and Gulf states. The Emirates captures approximately 20% of Kuwait’s non-oil exports, according to official statistics.

Additionally, trade between the two countries represented nearly two-thirds of Kuwait’s total trade with GCC countries during 2024. The UAE holds the top position globally in receiving Kuwait’s non-oil exports, accounting for more than 15.7% of Kuwait’s total non-oil export volume. In imports, the Emirates ranked second globally for Kuwait in 2023.” It might not seems that much of a reach. I personally felt that over 5 years ago, the stabilizing factor that Saudi Arabia and the UAE might become to the Arabian table of economic placement was overreach (stated by some) but this news is sounding that I was right all along. As the western press seems to relish breaking up this winning team, there is a setting that we are not looking at. Even if there was some discord between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the need that this is properly looked at requires us all to consider Al Arabiya and the Khaleej Times to be a much better source of information than most of the Western media a they are in league with whatever influencers are baiting their digital dollars and the flames that these players like to present. In addition to the previous quote, it seems relevant to include “The UAE hosts more than 1,700 Kuwaiti trademarks, 13 registered commercial agencies, and 15 Kuwaiti companies, according to Ministry of Economy and Tourism data. Key Kuwaiti investment sectors in the Emirates include financial services and insurance, manufacturing, real estate, information and communications, wholesale and retail trade, mining, construction, hospitality, transportation, and professional services.” It implies that the stabilizing influence of the UAE is growing. Should Bahrain, Oman and Egypt find the solution on this stabilizing dinner table then there is no reason to see the Arab world anything else than part of a new world order where Islam could find its solace that they are well represented. If Saudi Arabia gets Turkey, Libya and Morocco onboard then we get a new setting, not merely an Arab world stage, but an expanding Arab world (something that makes both the United States and Israel frightening) but the reality is that the United States are pretty much done for and they always ‘screamed’ the phrase “Money Talks and bullshit walks”, now that they are held to the same premise might not seem nice but it is the reality they created and now that the $38 trillion of debt is biting them hard as the interest of over a trillion dollars is due every year is downing whatever they have left and as Canada is a commonwealth nation that is liking their optional EU setting and their optional new trading connections to China is setting themselves up for a larger slice of the economic pie, whilst the pie of the United States is getting smaller by the quarter. In that setting The Arab World is the new larger stage player that is seen in a positive light by both China and the EU and those Islamophobic influencer stories will be actively banned from the media (about a decade to late) and as such the stabilizing effect that I foresaw about a decade ago is coming to pass into reality. As such the story given to us by Sami Mohamed is not merely reporting it is prophecy coming to pass, but I must admit that it was seemingly my prophecy alone and I am kinda happy that this is happening. It means that I saw the stages over the last decade correctly and whatever ‘pseudo’ economists and journalists who were stating that the US economy is doing great are now in a ratchet state of denial and hiding behind excuses like ‘it was a complex situation’ my response? I saw it as a non-economist, you should have been on board from the get go. And I might do this later as I put it in my blog and recall their responses holding my non-economic degrees against their so called decades of expertise and time is my ally here. As the reports are set to Internet and their publications, I merely need to keep record and that might be frightening to them, but it is what it is and the settings by others are proving me right.

Within half a century the Arab world went from ‘appeasing nation’ into the invited head setting of any table and they waited long enough. Now those who called them ally (at a cost) are pulled into the limelight and held in front of a mirror. As such the Abu Dhabi News gave me more than one reason to celebrate and I reckon there is more to come, we only concluded one month in 2026, I reckon that by month 8 a lot more clarity is seen in several connections. 

So you all have a great day, I am feeling fine at present.
