QUESTION: Hi Martin,
I’m sure you’re aware of the new European Schengen Entry Exit System (EES), that’s set to go live in just a few weeks, October 12th. Once it’s live, then anyone entering or exiting the Schengen area will be required to submit biometric data (fingerprints and face scan) into the system and renew every 3 years.
As someone that’s actually in Schengen right now, I’m torn on this. On the one hand, I really don’t trust any of these politicians or systems with my personal data, who knows how vulnerable it could be to hacking, breaches, leaks etc, or just being used for nefarious purposes.
On the other hand, your model has said repeatedly that the EU is highly unlikely to survive past 2030 anyway. So this EES thing is just a last gasp, eleventh hour bureaucratic nuisance that’s probably going to be gone in a few years anyway, along with the EU itself.
So I wanted to ask what you’d do in regards to engaging or not engaging with this system. Would you: 1) Take a hardline stance on this and do NOT, under any circumstances, submit your biometric data to this system. Change travel plans as necessary to get out of Schengen before this system goes live and don’t go back to any Schengen country unless/until this system folds or is cancelled. OR 2) Don’t even worry about it in bigger picture terms, since the EU (and presumably all such EU bureaucratic systems like this) are highly likely to fold by 2030 anyway, so who cares. Just go where you like, tolerate the extra few minutes of hassle and just forget about it, knowing it’s all likely to crumble in a few years anyway.
How would you see this Martin? Thanks for all the work you do. Regards, OP
ANSWER: This is a global effort to control everyone on the planet. This is an insane, lofty dream of the Globalists who understand that not everyone complies with their ideas, so the answer is this dream of theirs of a one-world government. The computer clearly shows that they will never succeed. That will require the surrender of not just your individual personal data, but also sovereignty and all aspects of democracy.
Much of this agenda is laid out in the World Economic Forum’s blueprint for the world. They essentially are Marxists taking this to the next level and fail to grasp why Communism fell in the first place. This is the perennial academic dream of a Socialist Utopia that often turns into a Socialist Dystopia.
It will be impossible to take a hard line. They will only imprison you. If you do not need to travel in and out, then bide your time. When you leave, do not return until the smoke clears. They are doing this out of desperation. LIBERTY is being destroyed for these people to retain their power; they view that we are the unruly and must be controlled at every step of the way. This has been repeated time and again throughout history, yet nobody in history has ever succeeded in this quest for supreme power. Marx’s idea of extinguishing LIBERTY for EQUALITY resulted in the deaths of nearly 300 million and counting. Each ruler believes they can accomplish supreme power because the alternative is a loss of control and the termination of their power.
LIBERTY will never be extinguished. She can be chained only temporarily. She will always stand tall and endure, knowing in the end she will rise again. Even Thomas Jefferson recognized this and said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
The first American Silver Dollar of 1794 features LIBERTAS with flowing hair, resurfacing once again from the grip of authoritarian control.
This is what 2032 is all about. I have warned that history is our roadmap because those in power will ALWAYS act out of their own self-interest, and that is what makes history repeat – human nature never changes with the passage of time. Post-2032, we will have the opportunity to rewrite the Constitutions of governments. Let’s be practical – no Republics!

The World According to Martin Armstrong
We’re closing in on 3,000 copies sold — and for good reason. This book has already become an Amazon Bestseller, and it’s the only place you’ll find all of Martin’s major forecasts collected in one volume.
Over the past 14 years, more than 15 of these forecasts have come true — and many are still unfolding right now.
From sovereign debt crises, political upheavals, energy shocks, and the turning points in gold, silver, and equities — it’s all here, straight from the man who built Socrates.
As one reader put it:
“This book is the Rosetta Stone of Martin’s work. To see all the forecasts laid out in one place shows you just how accurate — and how consistent — he’s been.”
Whether you’re a longtime follower or just discovering Armstrong Economics, this is the essential reference to understand the cycles driving our world.

The Federal Open Market Committee voted to lower rates by 25 bps at the September meeting, citing “that downside risks to employment have risen.” I reported in December 2024 that the computer had forecast a decline in employment during the incoming Trump Administration.
Based on the most recent data, the unemployment rate stands at 4.1%, while the measure of discouraged and underemployed workers remains steady at 7.7%. Per usual, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised its calculations for previous months. August’s growth whittled down to 78,000, and September’s calculation came in at 223,000, marking a total decline of 112,000 reported jobs in those two months.
Unemployment began to rise during the Biden Administration. In fact, not a single job in the private sector was created during the Biden Administration. People blame Trump’s deportation and DOGE efforts for a declining workforce, but that is certainly not the problem. Data indicates that citizens are beginning to rapidly fill roles once taken by migrants. Tariffs are not the problem either, as companies are not hiring for the short term.
Workforce softness often leads to lower rates as the Fed mistakenly believes that cheaper borrowing costs will ignite business investment, consumer spending, and strengthen businesses to the point that they need additional employees. Borrowing costs are not the reason why companies are not hiring. CONFIDENCE is the problem, as businesses do not foresee expansion in the near-term, as consumers are grappling with massive debt and an increased cost of living.
The number of unemployed Americans now outnumbers available job openings. Data from July show 7.24 million unemployed Americans compared to 7.18 million job openings, marking the first time that the unemployed have outnumbered the number of available jobs since April 2021. Companies are outsourcing work to places like India or places where humans work with automated AI. Rising wages and regulations, topped with inflation and ever-rising taxes, have created an unfavorable business environment.
Companies are not looking to expand when they are working to stay afloat. Businesses are not eager to take on additional debt, albeit at a lower rate, if they do not see a decent ROI in the future.
We have a Directional Change in 2026, which is an important near-term turning point. Look forward, and we see 2032 as a Panic Cycle with Directional Changes. The 2029/2030 period looks to be dominated by turmoil. Based on the model, unemployment will spike in the next year to nearly 7%. We are nowhere near Great Depression levels, but there will be a notable uptick in unemployment, coinciding with Panic Cycles globally in nearly every market.

China’s military parade was historic in size, spectators, and weaponry. Known as a leader in technology, President Xi used his moment on the world stage to showcase China’s military advancements, which span from land to air and sea.
The Dong Feng 5C is a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of launching a dozen warheads with a global strike range of over 20,000 kilometers. This is perhaps the most dangerous weapon on display, providing China with the ability to strike any nation in the world with a nuclear explosive.
Hypersonic Missiles (YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19, YJ-20, YJ-21 “Carrier Killer”) were also on display. These swiftly maneuverable, high-speed missiles are designed to evade traditional defenses. It is believed that these weapons could evade America’s most advanced aircraft carriers and naval vessels.
The HQ-29 Space Defense System is designed to destroy satellites. This specific weapon is part of China’s broader plan to eventually militarize space.
Extra-large Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (XLUUVs), especially the AJX002 Sea Drone—an underwater drone designed for reconnaissance missions and spying. The underwater drone can operate fully autonomously and is allegedly not easily detectable by radar systems. Not to be outdone, the JL-1 and JL-3 Air- and Submarine-launched Nuclear Missiles are part of China’s triad nuclear program, capable of striking enemies from any angle.
AI drones and robot dogs were one of the most highly discussed weapons on display. These “robot wolves” come equipped with cameras and guns. They could assist infantry units in battle, carry equipment, or carry out surveillance missions. Think back to the US Navy SEAL raid that allegedly killed bin Laden. Those trained Belgian Malinois played an essential role in taking down the world’s most wanted terrorist. These robot wolves would have the ability to operate even more efficiently and effectively in herds.
AI is at the forefront of modern warfare. Nuclear weapons no longer require strategic positioning to hit a target and cause mass casualties. Unleashing these weapons, using them against fellow humans, would create an unrecognizable planet and permanently alter humanity. Those cheering for warfare underestimate the sheer destruction that modern technology will unleash.
