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.
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 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.

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.
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.

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)

The European Central Bank (ECB) is urging citizens to “keep calm and carry cash.” The ominous message is a warning of trouble ahead. Bank runs, defaults, war, grid failures, pandemics—the current banking system cannot rely on what’s ahead. “Cash provides essential redundancy – a ‘spare tire’ – for the payment system,” the study’s authors write. “This redundancy is vital for any system, as no system is infallible.”
Indeed, no system is infallible. I have been consistently warning for decades that tangible assets are a necessity. Cash is freedom, which is precisely the reason that governments want to transition to digital and CBDC. Cash is anonymous, untraceable, and outside the immediate reach of bureaucrats. The entire fight against “money laundering” and the push to link biometric data to bank accounts is a direct assault on cash. Every penny will be tracked, and if they decide you owe taxes, they can simply deduct it without a trial.
However, you cannot simply flee with cash in a suitcase as the majority of nations consider that a crime and will seize your money. Customs agents do not need evidence of a crime, and even if the courts clear you of wrongdoing, there is no guarantee you will ever receive it back. Money is whatever someone is willing to accept as payment. I have long advocated for silver coinage that is easy to carry and identifiable as one such alternative, especially valuable if the currency fails.
“The sustained demand for banknotes has been amplified by sharp increases in public demand during major crises, which highlights the unique role and attributes of physical currency,” the ECB states. The 2014-15 sovereign debt crisis in Greece led to massive bank runs, and people had no access to their funds. There were surges in withdrawals during COVID and at the start of the Russia-Ukraine wa,r and the ECB knows that banks simply do not have the liquidity to provide customers with cash in the event of a true bank run.
Central banks are issuing specific instructions for civil protection. “For instance, authorities in the Netherlands, Austria and Finland suggest holding amounts ranging from approximately €70 to €100 per household member or enough to cover essential needs for about 72 hours. Some jurisdictions, like Finland, are even exploring “disruption-proof” ATMs to ensure access during digital failures.” The ECB is keenly aware that trouble is around the corner.
The recent power outages in Spain and Portugal led to a significant disruption in the financial system. Grids will be targeted during times of war. Nations bordering Russia have seen a much higher demand for cash withdrawals, “with issuance levels reaching six to ten standard deviations above their respective historical norms.” The ECB reports that this level of deviation is “highly unusual,” but in times of panic, people hoard as a survival tactic. There was a 36% spike in daily net banknote issuance during the first month of the war. Expect this figure to multiply when it becomes obvious that the war is expanding beyond Russia and Ukraine.
Keep cash on hand for day-to-day needs, but remember that its use will be increasingly limited, and its portability across borders almost impossible. The real hedge will remain tangible assets that cannot be canceled by government. Next year will be devastating. If you are in Europe, the best thing you can do is get your affairs in order and leave immediately.

China declined to make an official statement regarding Donald Trump’s change to the H-1B visa. Around 12% of such holders in the US are Chinese nationals. Instead, China announced that it will launch a new K-visa, expanding its 12 existing visas, to attract global talent.
“In a globalised world, cross-border flow of talents is instrumental in global technological and economic advancement,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated. “China welcomes talents from various sectors and fields across the world to come and find their footing in China for the progress of humanity and career success.”
The visa will take effect on October 1, 2025, and is designed to attract skilled professionals in engineering, technology, mathematics (STEM), and science. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in STEM from a recognized university or research institution, and employer sponsorship is not required.
Sorry, but top talent is not eager to work in China. China is already experiencing record levels of youth unemployment at 18.9% as of August 2025. Around 12.22 million university graduates in China entered the workforce this year, up from 430,000 in 2024, and the competition is intensifying as the number of available jobs declines.
China also produces over 77,000 STEM PhD graduates each year, nearly double that of the US. Naturally China would like to attract Indian graduates as they are receiving the bulk of the burden of the H-1B visa change and 34% of all graduates in India have a background in STEM. India excels in IT services, electronics, biotech, and software. China has more opportunities in AI, semiconductors, manufacturing, and robotics.
However, China does offer a much higher salary for these workers than India. In fact, salaries in STEM in India are 2-3X lower compared to China despite working longer hours. China also offers more protections, such as medical benefits, paid leave, and retirement benefits.
The current flow of Indian graduates relocating to China is relatively low compared to those relocating to the US. Those who think US companies are xenophobic have not worked with China. The environment is not exactly welcoming to foreigners. China may take on additional workers who are denied access to the US workforce, but it will not be significant. Specific niches and fields may spark interest as China is becoming a superpower for clean energy and robotics. Yet, global talent will not flock to China for employment, and the K-visa in no way compares to the visa that provides a work opportunity in America–at this stage in time. The matter may be different as we approach the end of the Sixth Wave–2032–when China dethrones the US to become the financial capital of the world.

Within months of Zelensky’s election, on December 20th, 2019, Ukrainian law enforcement raided both Poroshenko’s party headquarters and gym on the orders of President Zelensky, who has turned out to be ruthless and a questionable head of state. The raid was intended to eliminate any possible influence of Poroshenko going forward. It was used to launch criminal investigations focused on the alleged theft of servers containing classified information and tax evasion, which is now commonly referred to as money laundering. Zelensky outright accused Poroshenko of state treason, aiding terrorist organizations, and financing terrorism due to allegedly organizing the purchase of coal from separatist-controlled areas of Ukraine together with pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk. Poroshenko denied the allegations, calling them “fabricated, politically motivated, and black PR directed against [Zelensky’s] political opponents”.
The Zelensky Government of Ukraine quickly became a ruthless tyrant. He had also imprisoned the leader of the opposition Viktor V. Medvedchuk, who was the People’s Deputy of Ukraine from August 29, 2019. Medvedchuk was the chairman of the pro-Russia political organization Ukrainian Choice and an opponent of Ukraine joining the European Union. From an economic perspective, for Ukraine to join the EU would be to substitute one authoritarian government with another. Even the EU has called upon Zelensky to release Medvedchuk.
All of my sources questioned whether Zelensky was even legitimately elected. The neocons selected him to be the man to start World War III. Here is a video of him BEFORE being President, and like Soros, he pretended to be Christian and made jokes about confiscating the assets of Jews and Russians. My sources all said he was a NeoNazi, so after being elected, he suddenly claimed to be Jewish to dispel an investigation that he had been a NeoNazi.
Vide
Once again, we have a crisis in Eastern Europe that sparked World War I, setting the stage for World War III. The ethnic hatred in the Balkans will NEVER be eliminated. Zelensky has destroyed Ukraine. Now he wants NATO and America to send their people to die for his personal hatred of Russians.
Zelensky has even sought to have NATO nuke Russia before it can retaliate. If I were Putin, there is no way I could have a conversation with this MERCHANT OF DEATH, let alone have a peace agreement.
I was warned by my sources last week that Trump admitted that we will be in World War III over Ukraine. Get ready for your children to die for this Merchant of Death – Zelensky. When he was elected, I strongly suggest cutting off ALL DONATIONS TO ANY POLITICIAN who supports Ukraine on any level, regardless of their political party. They do not deserve to represent even a pet goldfish.
After endorsing NATO strikes on any Russian warplanes that violate Allied airspace, Trump appeared to raise his support for Ukraine, declaring on social media that Ukraine can win back its entire occupied territory “in its original form” and “maybe even go further than that.” In other words, Trump has just endorsed the invasion of Russia. Were I Putin, it is clear, the very survival of Russia is now at stake. That warrants a nuclear attack to take out all the capitals of Europe and NATO. There can be no peace with Ukraine, the EU, or NATO. Ukraine is the most corrupt country on the planet, and we have now endorsed ethnic cleansing.
Trump has listened to the NEOCONS running NATO that Russia’s performance in Ukraine is not “distinguished.” On social media, he argued that Moscow’s failure to gain more territory in Ukraine over more than three years “is very much making them look like ‘a paper tiger.’” Then he dared to tell this MERCHANT OF DEATH Zelensky, that the war “looks like it’s not going to end for a long time.” Ukraine does not have the manpower. The only way for this to run for a long time is if NATO troops enter Ukraine, and that is WWIII. I do not know who the hell Trump is listening to, but it is total bullshit NEOCON propaganda. China has made it very clear that it is not prepared to allow Russia to lose. They told Kallas that to her face. If this is a Trump negotiation tactic, I would call his bluff. Let’s start World War III. Will the American people then support Trump? He will never get his Nobel Peace Prize with this tactic.
Trump has been indoctrinated by the very people who wanted him DEAD. His departure from his campaign rhetoric, when Trump vowed to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, has now turned to advocating even the invasion of Russia. Trump has regularly characterized Kiev’s chances against Moscow as hopeless and pressured the Zelensky administration to accept the Kremlin’s terms. Surrender the Donbas, which was the Minsk Agreement, and had that been honored by the West, there would be no war. Trump has now endorsed World War III. Just ask yourself, what if Putin were supporting Mexico, and he just advocated that if they wanted to invade the United States, he would help them. I think we would get off our ass and pay attention.
Just as Netanyahu made a significant mistake attacking Qatar, which has now united all of the Arabs, even Saudi Arabia, with Iran, and against Israel, Trump just did this to Russia, China, North Korea, and India. Trump has just endorsed World War III, and if he thinks this will make Putin yield, he is dead wrong. Putin is NOT stupid. He knows this is not a war with Ukraine; this is against NATO and now the USA.
This is a war for the total destruction of Russia. Trump has now said that if Russian warplanes violate the airspace of NATO members, they can shoot them down. The intrusions in recent weeks, which have been FALSE FLAGS of NATO, were intended to create this result, and they have succeeded. In response to an Article 4 declaration by the Polish government after a Russian drone incursion earlier this month, the alliance launched “Operation Eastern Sentry,” establishing collective policies and procedures for aerial defense on NATO’s eastern flank. Quoting Trump’s support for shooting down any Russian aircraft that enters NATO airspace in the future, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski tweeted, “Roger that.”
After going to dinner at Mara Largo when Trump was President the first time, he impressed me by saying he wanted to pull the troops out of Afghanistan because he was tired of writing letters to their families that their son died for God and country. I believe he thinks this is showing strength to Putin, and he will back down.
The NEOCON hatred toward Russia stems from several key ideological and strategic motivations that date back to when Khrushchev said, “We will bury you,” a philosophical boast that he believed communism would defeat capitalism. Trump had better study his damn history.
After Khrushchev backed down from the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, which significantly weakened his position and contributed to the coup that did happen almost two years later, in October 1964.
Many within the Soviet Politburo (the Presidium) and the military were indeed furious. They saw the withdrawal of missiles as a humiliating retreat and a sign of Khrushchev’s reckless brinkmanship. They felt he had gambled with nuclear war and lost, damaging the USSR’s international prestige.
Khrushchev tried to frame the outcome as a victory. He argued that he had secured a public guarantee from the US not to invade Cuba (which was a key goal for Castro) and, crucially, a secret deal for the US to remove its Jupiter missiles from Turkey. From this perspective, he had achieved a strategic win by removing a direct threat to the USSR and protecting an ally, all while avoiding a catastrophic war.
Because of this “peacemaker” narrative and the fact that the secret Turkey deal wasn’t widely known, there wasn’t enough immediate, organized opposition to remove him in late 1962 or early 1963. Still, discontent from the Cuban Missile Crisis festered and merged with other serious grievances against Khrushchev over the next two years. The plotters who ousted him in 1964 cited a long list of failures, with the Cuban situation being a central one. Khruschev was ousted by a coup and replaced by Leonid Brezhnev.
If Trump is this naive to think he can intimidate Putin to surrender, he is out of his mind. My computer has been targeting November all year, both personally for Putin and nationally. This is why Zelensky has attempted to assassinate Putin. He is restrained. They prefer someone who will act emotionally. If Putin were forced to back down, that would be a HUGE loss of face, and it would most likely lead to a coup.
What Trump has done is absolutely STUPID, and it is typical advice from a NEOCON. If Trump had to back down on a major issue, the press would tear him apart at the seams. He is buying the BS of the NEOCONS that the USA is the most powerful nation on Earth, so that everyone will tremble in our presence.
Well, it looks like this year’s WEC may be our 40th and final gathering. Next year is a Panic Cycle on our war model. I am not sure if travel will even be possible by the end of 2026.

President Donald Trump is a great disappointment. He has just given the GREEN LIGHT for World War III. This is the end of Western Civilization as we have known it. I have screamed as loud as I can, but those in Washington want to make sure Trump only listens to the NEOCONS who are out to destroy Russia, and they will find that China will NEVER allow Russia to fall because, and they told Kallas to her face, they know they will be next.
Trump has actually completely reversed his position. I was told last week that he was saying that we will probably have World War III over Ukraine. Trump is no longer telling this Merchant of Death, Zelensky, that Ukraine must give territory to end its war against Russia. The Russian population of Ukraine is irrelevant. Uktaonians have engaged historically in ethnic cleansing. They have no human rights. This is just about territory. Trump is now embracing NATO, saying in a social media post that he considers Ukraine to be “in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.”
Ukraine should have been broken up like the rest of the Balkans along ethnic lines. This is a war the NEOCONS have wanted for decades. This is NOT about pushing Russia out of Ukraine; this is a war to completely obliterate Russia, seize its assets, and divide it up among the European powers.
Because this is not about pushing Russia out of Ukraine, this is about the destruction of Russia itself; our computer shows this will go nuclear. Kallas is boasting that Russia is too large and should be divided. How many European lives will be lost to accomplish her personal hatred of Russians? These European leaders who are telling everyone that they can destroy Russia because NATO has 3.4 million soldiers vs Russia’s 1.5 million, including the United States and Canada. They are telling everyone Russia will never use nukes because it would blow back on them. Sorry, if you are breaking into my house to kill me, I think I will shoot to survive.
Trump is now putting out propaganda. Ukraine has lost 1.8 million people to this war, and over 10 million have fled the country. They are fighting for the Donbas, which is ethnically Russian, and the Minsk Agreement that the West signed was to allow them to separate, like Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia did, along ethnic lines. Trump wrote on the Truth Social post on Tuesday after an hour-long meeting with Ukraine’s Merchant of Death, Zelensky, on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
I just got off the phone with sources in Germany. Even AfD is now turning pro-war. The Polish FALSE FLAG of the Russian Drone has the world perfectly. You even now have country after country in Europe talking about war.
Sweden, which has thrown its people into this war, has surrendered its neutrality, which kept it out of World War II, and even joined NATO. The Ukrainian press loves everyone hating Russians, for this is the Balkans – the ethnic hatred there is never going to stop.
Nothing has changed. Bismarck warned in 1888 that Europe would be engulfed in war, and it would begin in the Balkans. That was World War I. Our Computer pinpointed Ukraine as the place where all of this would start in 2013.
I stood up at our 2011 World Economic Conference 2011 and warned that our computer on war would turn up in 2014. That was indeed the start of this disaster with the Ukrainian Revolution.
You had John McCain cheering them to overthrow their government because this was supposed to be peace and about them. We instigated that war and McCain was a ruthless NEOCON. I felt like I needed a shower after shaking hands.
Our NEOCONS hand-picked the Interim Government of Ukraine and instructed them to declare the Donbas all terrorists and to invade, starting the civil war.
This is what you will now lose your entire future for. China is expected to emerge as the financial capital of the world after 2032. This is the computer forecast, and no matter how loud I scream, I cannot defeat my own computer. So buckle up. Trump has just given the go-ahead for World War III.
I was waiting for this event to finish so I could read a book on this and the future.
My Sources were warning that Trump would do a flip-flop on war,

We still want to know where the financing of unemployed Ryan Routh came from. The guy was traveling all around the world from Ukraine to Hawaii, and then eventually to Florida. His source of financing did not come out in trial and is supposedly still under investigation by the FBI.
DOJ Press Release – A federal jury today convicted Ryan Wesley Routh, 59, of Hawaii, for attempting to assassinate President Donald J. Trump when he was a major presidential candidate in a planned sniper attack at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“This verdict sends a clear message. An attempt to assassinate a presidential candidate is an attack on our Republic and on the rights of every citizen,” said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The Department of Justice will relentlessly pursue those who try to silence political voices, and no enemy, foreign or domestic, will ever silence the will of the American people. I want to thank and congratulate the trial team and our law enforcement partners for their outstanding work and dedication in bringing this case to justice.”
“Ryan Routh’s attempted assassination of President Trump was a disgusting act — mere weeks before an election and only months after a separate assassination attempt came dangerously close to succeeding,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “FBI teams worked quickly and diligently with local partners and the Department of Justice to demonstrate a clear fact pattern of Routh’s planning and intent, and we are grateful to see a quick resolution. The FBI will continue working aggressively to take violent offenders off American streets and protect public officials from threats of all nature.”
“Today’s jury verdict delivers justice. What Routh did was objectively evil — an attempt not only to take a life, but to rob Americans of their right to vote and to silence free speech. This was nothing less than an attempted assassination of both a man and the democratic voice he represented,” said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida. “We have seen over the past decade how political violence — from the assassination of Charlie Kirk to threats meant to silence conservative voices — has poisoned our public square. Such violence is un-American. It is an assault on every one of us, no matter our politics. The Southern District of Florida will relentlessly pursue those who try to steal our freedoms, and we will ensure that the rule of law — not fear, not violence — prevails.”
According to the evidence presented at trial, then-U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Robert Fercano – who was patrolling one hole ahead of the president at the golf course – spotted Routh pointing an AK-style rifle at Special Agent Fercano from a sniper’s hide in the fence abutting the golf course. Agent Fercano, in fear for his life and the life of President Trump, opened fire at Routh, who fled. Law enforcement subsequently found a loaded SKS-style rifle equipped with a scope, a magazine containing an additional nineteen rounds of ammunition and the safety off, steel armor plates, and a camera attached to the fence pointing toward the sixth hole green of the golf course, where Routh had been hiding: (read more)
