🚨 1/ The EU is planning to fund its €800 billion defence spending bill by tapping into your private savings accounts.

Yes, you read that right.

Here’s what’s happening and why you should be very, very concerned. 👇

🧵 2/ EU Leaders’ Statements:

Ursula von der Leyen (EU Commission President):

"We’ll turn private savings into much-needed investment."

They’re not being clear—does this mean dormant accounts? Large balances? Savings above a certain threshold? They won’t say.

🧵 3/ Bruno Le Maire (French Finance Minister):

"Mobilize all the savings of Europeans that are currently in European bank accounts... Do this now."

They're openly talking about pooling savings for government use. Not an appeal or request—an instruction.

🧵 4/ Christine Lagarde (ECB President):

Europeans save 13% of their income—€11.5 trillion in cash and deposits.

Their plan? Extract €800 billion from that total. And that’s just the beginning.

🧵 5/ Mario Draghi (Former ECB President & EU Competitiveness Adviser):

"Europe needs to mobilize private savings at an unprecedented scale—up to €500 billion annually—to compete with the US and China."

An endless money grab, framed as “progress.”

🧵 6/ So what’s the plan?

The EU is rolling out a “Savings and Investment Union” which sounds nice on paper. They claim it will boost growth and give citizens more financial choice.

But the truth? It’s about centralising control over your money.

🧵 7/ And the Digital Euro?

They're accelerating plans to launch the Digital Euro between 2026 and 2027. This will allow the EU to:

• Monitor every transaction.
• Control how you spend.
• Freeze accounts at the push of a button.

Complete surveillance.

🧵 8/ They claim the Digital Euro will be “privacy-respecting” but NOT anonymous.

So they’ll “protect” your privacy while actively monitoring your transactions. 🤔

🧵 9/ Why should you be worried?

Governments will soon have the ability to confiscate your wealth without your consent.

Just look at what happened to Enoch Burke in Ireland—his savings were taken. Now imagine that happening with the Digital Euro.

🧵 10/ Once this system is fully implemented, what stops them from expanding their reach?

They started with defence spending, but are already hinting at using savings for climate policies, digital transitions, and anything else they deem “necessary.”

🧵 11/ What can you do?

• Diversify your assets.
• Reconsider holding large amounts of Euros in EU banks.
• Explore alternative investments or safe havens.

This is not fear-mongering—it’s happening in real-time.

🧵 12/ Final thoughts:

This isn’t a conspiracy theory—it’s all documented and openly discussed by EU leaders. It’s about control, plain and simple.

Stay vigilant. Protect your savings. Share this thread.
