College Graduates Face Higher Levels of Unemployment

Degree College

College graduates throughout the world are facing record unemployment. The unemployment rate for recent graduates in the United States is nearly double that of the general population. College grads in the United Kingdom face a similar level of unemployment. The youth in Europe are in a far worse situation, and it is not uncommon for areas to see unemployment levels around 20% to 40%. Chinese and Indian cultures value higher education, but the youth in both nations are facing unemployment levels of up to 20%. College degrees no longer guarantee financial success.

One of Britain’s largest recruitment agencies is encouraging young adults to explore blue-collar positions. James Reed, chief executive of Reed, told Times Radio that he averaged 180,000 graduate job position openings three or four years ago, but that figure has declined to 55,000. “The direction of travel is what worries me. Some people might say, well, that’s your business. But every other business is saying the same thing, that far fewer graduate opportunities are available to young people,” he said. Job recruitment agency Indeed found a 33% annual reduction in available graduate jobs over the summer and that trend is expected to continue thanks to automation and increased business costs. “It’s like a white-collar recession, rather like the blue-collar recession of the 1980s. I recognise the same pattern in a way, when a lot of jobs are being hollowed out by automation. I’m thinking about factories [before] and offices now,” Reed also commented.

Unemployment Rate

Gen Z comprises 30% of the global population. They were told that good grades and an advanced degree would provide them a head start in life. Instead, especially in the United States, these young adults are saddled with debt that they cannot pay off. Less than half of graduates can find jobs within their field of study.

Youth unemployment can become the catalyst for political unrest and even revolution, which is precisely what recently happened in Nepal. The youth are the future taxpayers, yet governments are destroying them before they even begin. Youth unemployment is a direct result of bad economic policies, taxation, and regulation that drive jobs offshore. Universities have turned into political indoctrination factories producing debt slaves rather than skilled workers. This generation has been robbed of opportunity, and history warns us that when the youth see no future, they rise up against the system.

Youth unemployment ties into the birth rate crisis as the number of deaths far outnumber births in nearly every developed nation, and therefore, there are not enough taxpayers to offset the decline. If they cannot find work, they certainly cannot afford a home. Only 9% of Gen Z adults in America owned homes as of 2024. Less than 15% of Gen Z can afford homes in the UK, compared to 63% of Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers. In Canada, youth are experiencing a similar level of home ownership, with rates above 15%. Europe varies widely but the market is largely inaccessible to Gen Z. The youth in South Korea are experiencing the lowest documented rate of home ownership among young adults at 2.5%.

The younger generation is questioning the entire system. They played into the system their entire lives and lost. Civil unrest always begins with the younger generation, who demand to be heard. When the youth see no path forward, they burn down the status quo. The younger generation in Nepal burned down Parliament and forced leaders to flee due to building resentment that grew into hatred for government overlords. Unemployment is expected to steepen as we enter the end of the next ECM cycle, and the youth will feel the brunt of the burden. History shows that the younger generations will not quietly accept defeat.

The G7 Nation Spending the Least on Healthcare


Posted originally on Sep 26, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |

One European nation consistently ranks last in healthcare spending among the G7 nations, and 14th among the European Union member states—Italy. The underfunded system has led to a rapid decline in services, a shortage of family practitioners, excessive wait times in emergency rooms, and lengthy procedure delays.  Regional inequalities in care are extremely prominent. One in 10 citizens or 5.8 million people have been forced to pay out of pocket for healthcare when their taxes should cover the expense, leading many to question where their taxes are being directed.

Italy allocated 6.3% of GDP to health services in 2024, well beneath the OECD (7.1%) and EU (6.9%) averages. The gap in per capita spending with other EU members hit €43 billion, and now, health providers are sounding the alarms that a massive structure reform must occur to support the structural integrity of the nation’s healthcare system.

“In Europe, Italy leads the poorest countries in per capita public spending: it is ahead of only a few Eastern and Southern European countries, given that the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Spain invest more than us.” Until 2011, per capita healthcare spending in Italy was in line with the European average; then, due to cuts and defunding implemented by all governments, the gap gradually widened, reaching $430 in 2019. The gap widened further during the pandemic, when other countries invested significantly more than Italy; the trend was confirmed in 2023, with spending remaining stable in Italy, and in 2024, when the increase was lower than the average for other European countries,” Nino Cartabellotta, President of the Gimbe Foundation, commented.

Per capita spending on health care was $3,835 compared to the OECD average of $4,625. Other EU nations spend around $4,689 per capita and have seen a surge in investments in recent years. Germany, for example, nearly doubled its spending from $4,245 per capita to $8,080.

There is a blatant difference in care across Italy and the North-South divide. Milan is known for hosting the best hospitals and providers in the nation. Everyone is entitled by law to the same “Essential Levels of Assistance” (LEA), but in actuality, regions with fewer resources to guarantee the LEA face massive shortfalls in services.

It has been this way for over 100 years, where people from Southern regions often travel to the north for better service, shorter wait times, better doctors, and adequate staffing. Italy claims it has universal healthcare but then invests primarily in the northern regions who have more to provide in taxes. The difference is so profound that Southern Italians face higher levels of cancer and chronic illness and have a higher mortality rate than those living in the north.  One study published by the National Library of Medicine found that Italy had the highest disparity in regional care among all European nations.

If health were privatized, the matter may seem a bit more leveled, but poorer regions depend on the government for funding and the wealthier regions are forced to pay for those with less. The northern regions, like Lombardy, can cover up to 40% of their healthcare costs through regional taxes, whereas lower-income regions can only offer up to 5%. The corporate tax on productive activities (IRAP) varies by region as well. Half of national healthcare funding is derived from VAT taxes that are then redistributed among the regions. There are surcharges and taxes on nearly everything, and no one is quite certain how the government is allocating these funds since it is not going into health care.

Italy claims to share the same model as the United Kingdom with universal healthcare. The UK continues to pour into the NHS but it is still extremely flawed by design. I personally know someone in London who dialed for an ambulance when his relative broke their leg. Emergency responders told him they were unable to send an ambulance and suggested he find an alternative mode of transportation.

Politicians love to sell the idea of universal healthcare as a human right, but do not factor in the complexities of funding. On the surface, who wouldn’t want free medical care? The problem is government never manages anything efficiently. Once bureaucrats get involved, costs explode, quality declines, and corruption takes hold. These universal systems are collapsing with wait lists stretching for months if not years and doctors fleeing for better pay abroad. Rather than reform, governments either cut services to ration care or dump an excessive amount of money in the system only to see the same result with more money leading to higher charges.

Universal healthcare, like every socialist policy, ultimately leads to shortages, rationing, and higher taxes. It is not about “caring for people” but about expanding government power. The only sustainable system must be built on free markets and innovation. Political corruption and lobbying have ruined healthcare in the United States as hospitals, big pharma, and insurance companies scheme to charge asinine fees with no checks and balances. If you fall ill in America, you’ll lose your life savings, and if you fall ill in Europe, you’ll potentially lose your life.

US GDP Rose 3.8% in Q3


Posted originally on Sep 26, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

GDP 3

US GDP grew at a 3.8% annualized pace in Q2, surpassing estimates of 3.3%, leading the press to cheer a strong and robust economy. By design, the GDP calculation counts net exports as a positive. When imports collapse, GDP rises even though that is a signal of weakened consumer demand.

Consumer spending rose by 2.5%, rising 0.6% from Q1, and overperformed compared to the 1.6% estimate. Again, the underlying cause of that rise is not consumer confidence. The price of goods remains elevated, and consumers are spending more on less. Household debt is now at record highs across every area, from mortgages to credit cards and auto loans. It is an illusion that higher consumer spending indicates prosperity.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) accurately stated that the “primarily reflected a decrease in imports, which are a substraction in the calculation of GDP, and an increase in consumer spending. These movements were partly offset by decreases in investment and exports.” This does not mean companies are simply purchasing domestically due to tariffs.

The GDP calculation, albeit better than anticipated, does not indicate long-term strength in the economy. The decline in imports has skewed the figure in favor of government so it looks as if policies are working and the US is somehow immune to the global economic decline. The US cannot experience meaningful growth when demand in declining due a loss of confidence and debt is rapidly accumulating.

Trump Taking Us Into World War III


Posted originally on Sep 25, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

Trump advised by NEOCONS

The NEOCONS are advising Trump. All is lost. The computer will be correct, so buckle up. If September proves to be the high for the euro, things can change starting in October. Trump may think he can put pressure on Russia to stop the war, but he may get a reality check. He has no idea what he is playing with. These NEOCONS will NEVER accept peace with Russia. Their entire lives have been filled with hatred of Russians. Putin is well aware. There will NEVER be peace with the West, and Trump has just signed the death warrant for the United States. China will emerge as the Financial Capital of the world after 2032. Just like the London bankers couldn’t see that World War I would end the domination of Britain, they voluntarily got into a war that destroyed them all because of the ethnic hatred in the Balkans. History repeats. This is our turn.

Trump is destroying our future for this?

Trump Surrenders to the NEOCONS – Bolton Won!

QUESTION: I heard you on a Podcast say you would meet with Trump if asked. If that could be arranged, would you do it?

OP

ANSWER: I seriously doubt that the powers that be in DC will EVER allow me to get close to Trump. I will be suicided if I step foot close to the White House. The NEOCONS have completely compromised Trump. I am very disappointed to say the least. The computer has never been wrong. He is being led by the nose to take us into World War III.

2025_09_25_09_51_36_NATO_Countries_Still_Tapping_Russian_Oil_and_Gas_What_to_Know_The_Epoch_Times

This is the total BS that NEOCONS put out – SANCTIONS, SANCTIONS, SANCTIONS. This strategy has NEVER worked, and Trump is following their direction. Cutting off buying energy from Russia will not stop the war. The end goal is always the same. Hurt the Russian people so much that they will rise up and overthrow their government, and then have a ticker tape parade and pin the highest medals on Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Bill Kristol, Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, etc.

Russia might as well push the button because there is absolutely no way the WEST will ever accept Russia, no matter what. They are only interested in conquering Russia and stripping it of all its assets. Sorry, I am not sure I would even want to waste my time talking to Trump. He is going down the path of a warmonger that everyone voted against. The NEOCONS have won.

Biden Picture in White House Replaced by the Neocon’s Autopen

Presidential_Walk_of_Fame_

Trump hangs a picture of Biden’s autopen in the new “Presidential Walk of Fame.” Perhaps he should also remove Bush Jr. ‘s photo and replace it with Dick Cheney.

Hunter Biden Pardons Decisions

Hunter Biden actually was participating in the decision process regarding pardons signed with an AUTOPEN, ex-White House chief of staff Jeff Zients told a House committee. AUTOPENs should be outlawed. They are counterfeit and we if a President can authorize a signature then in that time it takes to make a decision, he can sign it.

Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted on Three Counts


Posted originally on CTH on September 26, 2025 | Sundance 

Newly appointed U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, from the Eastern District of Viginia, has released a criminal indictment of former FBI Director James Comey [SEE INDICTMENT HERE].

The indictment alleges three counts. Counts one and two are ‘false statements’ to congress on September 30, 2020, [18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2)] and count three is ‘obstruction of a federal proceeding’ stemming from the same testimony. [18U.S.C. § 1505]

The first false statement charge surrounds Hillary Clinton’s “approval of a plan concerning” Donald Trump and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

[SOURCE]

♦ COUNT #1 – James Comey claimed he could not remember being made aware of the Trump-Russia collusion plan, and there is ample evidence from his own previous public statements, from public and sworn statements by former CIA Director John Brennan, from former statements by officials in the January 5, 2017, meeting memorialized by Susan Rice, from statements that remain unsealed as recounted by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and from statements under oath by the former Clinton campaign team -including campaign manager Robby Mook- that James Comey was well aware of the plan.

While this first count is based on the tenuous “I don’t remember” aspect, this count holds more material benefit than simply Comey’s recollection. This count could open the door to public testimony by McCabe, Rice, Mook, Brennan and even Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton herself as to Comey’s knowledge; each was a first-hand witness.

This first count holds strong material value in a public trial regardless of the outcome. This first count establishes the baseline for USAO Lindsey Halligan to bring all material witnesses into court and publicly put them on record outlining the Trump-Russia collusion scheme.

You could say, I hope the intent is not just to incarcerate Comey per se’ – but rather to use what Comey represents to indict the entire enterprise around him.  The facts behind Count #1 make this possible.

Let’s all hope this strategic intent unfolds.

♦ Count #2, involves James Comey falsely testify he did not direct former his FBI Special Government Employee (SGE) Daniel Richman to leak information to New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt.

This second count is easily evidenced through the prior investigation of Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz and all prior witness statements therein. Again, that includes testimony to Horowitz given by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Additionally, the second count is evidenced by the direct testimony of Daniel Richman himself, who was hired by James Comey and given special access privileges to classified information systems. Richman was likely a grand jury witness during the assembly of the case against Comey.  Count #2 is the easiest to prove beyond any reasonable doubt.

♦ BIG PICTURE – One of the frustrations felt by many people who have researched or followed the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense, is the lack of accountability for the internal actors who operated within a highly weaponized DOJ and FBI system. Perhaps this indictment is the first step in holding those to account.

I am often asked about why the second term cabinet members of President Trump do not take action. My response is consistent. They refuse to acknowledge or assert the corruption within the institutions they lead. They are fraught with fear.

The administration of President Donald Trump does not have the same institutional operations in place that Joe Biden visibly deployed post January 6, 2021.

President Barack Obama spent eight years working with Attorney General Eric Holder, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Deputy AG Sally Yates, former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker, on a process of weaponizing the Dept of Justice and FBI.

All of the agents and attorneys within the Obama network, in addition to their private sector media and Lawfare partners, spent over a decade building out their ideological targeting tools.

Bondi, Patel and to a lesser extent Bongino, spent a ridiculous amount of time denying the institutional constructs that sit beneath them. Still, to this day, they do not publicly admit the internal challenge with each organization.

All institutional change first requires a public admission of the problem.

Main Justice and FBI remain -to this day- in private acceptance but public denial of the problem. In essence they are stuck in a pretending loop. Each day that follows grows the Gordian knot their denial & fear creates.

It is a self-fulfilling prophecy; an outcome born of both fear and inability. Those who created the weaponized institutions are heavily reliant upon the retention of pretense.

We the people, are continually witnessing this dynamic and frustrated at the lack of accountability. Yet even within that frustrated annoyance, too few boldly outline exactly how comprehensively corrupt the institutions are – by former design.

Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are afraid of the organizations they lead. Their fear stems from a desire to be viewed as effective, and yet their ineffectiveness at correcting the problem is driven by their fear. Thus, the loop.

Yes, Main Justice and the FBI can change the dynamic, but it starts -as all massive institutional reform efforts must- with a seismic release of sunlight upon the toxic corruption that sits at their feet.

As long as Pam Bondi and Kash Patel continue to maintain a pretense of top-down control, the embedded system operators will continue undermining them and acting maliciously. The effort to hold James Comey to account is highlighting just how corrupt THEIR SYSTEM is. It is not accidental that President Trump needed to shake them up and change this dynamic with the very public appointment of Lindsey Halligan.

How do Bondi and Patel stop entwining the knot and finally cut it?  Well, that begins with sunlight, firings, investigations and criminal indictments of former officials AND current holdovers inside their agencies.

In essence, they must purposefully and righteously ‘turn the tables‘ in their own temples.

Perhaps the indictment of James Comey will finally begin the process.

Secretary Hegseth Calls for All Top Generals and Flag Officers to Attend Meeting at Quantico


Posted originally on CTH on September 25, 2025 | Sundance

Other than the broad announcement to around 600 to 800 U.S. Generals and flag officers from around the world, no one is exactly sure why Secretary Pete Hegseth has requested they come to the U.S for a meeting.

According to reports from CNN and various news outlets, Secretary of the War Department, Pete Hegseth has sent a notice for all of them to travel back to the U.S. for a meeting in Virginia at the War Department’s Quantico facility.

WASHINGTON – Hundreds of US generals and admirals around the globe have been called to Virginia for a meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth next Tuesday, several US officials told CNN, though the reason for the meeting is unclear.

The meeting is expected to be held at the military installation in Quantico, Virginia, multiple officials said, adding that no one seems to know what the meeting is about, including the general and flag officers themselves, or why it was suddenly added to the calendar.

One source familiar said they’d heard theories ranging from a group physical fitness test, to receiving a briefing on the state of the Defense Department, to a mass firing of officers, but regardless of the reason the sudden convening of so many senior military officers is highly unusual.

“It’s being referred to as the general squid games,” one official quipped. (read more)
