🚨 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. 👇 Image
Image
🧵 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.” Image
🧵 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. Image
🧵 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.

💸 What I just found in the UK Foreign Aid logs will shock you...

I’ve just spent hours digging through the UK’s official aid logs…
and I’ve never seen anything like this.

We send £14.1 billion abroad every single year, and when you see where it’s going, you’ll be furious. 👇 Image
Image
Image
1/ £84,000 — spent on an explicit “arts performance” in Scotland.

Actors in latex. Chains. Things I can’t even describe here.
And yes, it was paid for by the government.

This actually happened.

2/ £10,000 — “Decolonising the Welsh Cake Project.”

Apparently, the sugar used in Welsh cakes has “colonial links.”

They said tourists might be offended by it.

This is where your taxes go. 🍰

🚨 The UK Government wants to take over your bank account...

A new Fraud, Error and Recovery Bill will force banks to secretly hand over customer data upon request...

They say it’s to “recover £10 billion” (that they lost).. Mostly from pensioners... 🧵 Image
Image
1/ The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill is back in the Lords.

It gives the DWP new powers to demand data from banks to “verify eligibility” for benefits.
2/ The focus includes Pension Credit.

Government’s pitch: recover £9.6bn by 2030 after losses of £9.5bn in 2024
— roughly 3.3% of the welfare bill.

Freedom Of Speech In The UK? Still Gone, Unless JD Vance Can Save It...

He’s leading a U.S. fight against the UK’s new Online Safety Act, calling it...

- A direct threat to Western values
- A violation of free speech rights
- A move to force U.S. tech firms to break the First Amendment

What he discovered:

- 99.7% of removed UK content was legal speech
- YouTube, X, and others are under pressure to censor
- Parliament refused to even debate repeal despite 490,000 signatures

This fight is for the future of the Free World...🧵Image
Image
Image
1/ Britain just told 490,000 citizens their voice doesn't matter.

A petition to repeal the Online Safety Act reached nearly half a million signatures.

Parliament refused to even debate it...
2/ Thus, your political content is now filtered before you hit publish.

Platforms are forced to suppress Reform UK posts, hide protest footage, and age-gate parliamentary debates.

Even investigative war journalism is being blocked behind “verification” walls.

All in the name of “safety.”

Free speech is over in the UK... Here's what the UK Government Can Now Do Under the Online Safety Act:

- Scan your private messages (WhatsApp, iCloud, Signal)
- Censor protest videos from X and YouTube
- Force ID checks and facial scans to access social media
- Search your cloud files (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive)
- Order surveillance without a warrant
- Silence dissent, even Wikipedia is under legal threat

If I didn't have a VPN, I could be at risk for even posting about it...Image
Image
2/ They say it’s to “protect children”.

But what they’ve really done is give Ofcom and government agencies sweeping powers to:

Force tech firms to weaken encryption.

Demand access to personal chats.

Censor anything they deem “harmful.”

Even without a warrant...
3/ Social media platforms are scrambling to comply.

Age verification.
ID scanning.
Censorship.
Shadow bans.

And it’s only just begun...

🔥 1/ This is not a sci-fi film…

Ukraine has officially invited global weapons manufacturers to test their deadliest AI weapons on the Russian front lines.

No ethics board. No limits. Real soldiers used for data collection.

Here’s the breakdown 🧵 Image
Image
2/ The new program is called "Test in Ukraine", run by Ukraine’s Brave1 defence tech initiative.

Arms makers submit their prototypes. If they’re “advanced” or “deadly” enough, Ukraine deploys them in live combat for testing.

Yes, actual war zone testing...
3/ They’re even scoring results on a “deadliness” scale, just like a video game.

The more soldiers a weapon kills, the better the feedback.

And this is being celebrated as innovation in defence contracting.

🚨 If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, Western economies will be annihilated...

It doesn't matter what you do, you will feel it...

Here’s what happens next 🧵 Image
1/ Iran has now openly threatened to shut the Strait of Hormuz...

25% of the world's oil moves through this one chokepoint.

A top Iranian defence official announced it publicly.

Most people shrug this off… but it’s a massive mistake.

This one action could collapse the Western economy within months...
2/ Why?

Because up to 20 million barrels of oil per day flow through that strait.

Block it, and oil shoots to $150… $200… even $300 per barrel.

I’ve modelled the likely scenarios based on past crises, and it's grim...
