Ursula von der Leyen may be the absolute worst head of state in modern history. She has single-handedly ensured the collapse of the European Union according to our computer. She destroyed the EU economy with her NET-ZERO policies, destroying farmers and sending food prices rising. She then imposed dictatorial policies demanding migrants be taken in despite the drastic changes in culture, and then has put out the BS that to protect free speech, they must censor disinformation, to ensure peace in Euirope they need to go to war with Russia, and while she advocates total sensorship far worse than whatever existed in the USSR or even Communist China, yet refuses to release her own text messages with Pfizer.

While Ursula, who has never stood for election, pretends to be an elected democratic leader, calling Putin a dictator who at least stood for election, survived the NO CONFIDENCE vote to the detriment of Europe. The mere fact that this came to a vote demonstrates what our computer has been forecasting. The EU will fragment because of the dictatorial policies of Ursula. She is the perfect leader installed at the precise time that our computer warns that the EU will never survive. Her policies have been dictatorial and she has had no respect or regard for the culture of Europe. She is seeking to do what Joseph Stalin did in forces unified drone-like culture upon all the republics in Russia.

The ECM warns that the European Commission will reach the 72-year mark of political change in 2030. Last year, on February 19, she announced her bid to secure another five-year term, which would keep her in office until 2029. Von der Leyen has unfinished business: the transition to EU “climate neutrality,” for example, and shepherding Ukraine’s hoped-for accession to the 27-member bloc. Her policies are so contrary to economic neutrality that they have sealed the fate of the EU, and anyone who voted for her should be dragged out of office, for they do not care about Europe – only their political affiliation.

Von der Leyen sees herself as untouchable. The corruption with the EU is just massive. She will put Europe into a war footing for 2026 and it is UNLIKELY that the EU will even survived intact beyond 2030. This is the array from 2017 which targeted a Panic Cycle from 2021 which marked her disastrous COVID policies that she refuses to turn over her text messages. If you are being investigated for “disinformation” and refuse to turn over subpoenaed evidence, you go to prison. Ursula is above the law and all the corrupt politicians that support her are sealing the fate of Europe into the years ahead.

Bulgaria’s adoption of the euro is a major step toward abandoning its remaining sovereignty. The European Union is akin to a drowning person clinging to anything nearby in an attempt to stay afloat. Bulgaria will become the 21^st nation to adopt the euro beginning in January 2026.

Protests against the adoption have been ongoing for months. Citizens fear the spike in prices once the euro is adopted with good reason. In a population of 6.4 million, two million receive a pension of €226 a month. Net wages average only €355 a month. Bulgaria has one of the weakest economies in the EU, yet is expected to instantly adopt a currency with an official and fixed rate of 1 euro = 1.95583 lev. The nation’s GDP was 24.1% in 2024, far beneath the EU’s 60% threshold.

Bulgaria’s lev has been pegged to the euro since 1999 under a currency board arrangement. That means the country has already given up most of its monetary tools. But formally joining the euro locks in those losses—permanently. There will be no going back.

Proponents claim that Bulgaria will now have the European Central Bank’s liquidity facilities and bond purchasing programs. They tout that borrowing costs will be lower and joining will raise the nations creditworthiness. But for what? To take on more debt that they will never be able to default on?

Once Bulgaria joins, it will no longer be able to devalue its currency to remain competitive. That’s how small economies adjust in a floating system. But inside the eurozone, you’re stuck. All monetary policy decisions are made by the ECB in Frankfurt, which answers to no elected body. If Bulgaria experiences a downturn, they can’t cut rates or devalue—just like Greece in 2010. They will be told to cut pensions, raise taxes, and accept IMF mandates. That’s not sovereignty.

The former communist nation has a long history of political instability. In fact, there have been seven national elections in the past four years alone. Citizens have no trust in their government and do not bother with voting, as voter turnout reached only 34.4% in June 2024. The nation is also internally divided when it comes to support for Russia.

Alpha Research conducted a poll in July 2025 that found 46.5% of the population was in favor of euro adoption while 46.8% are in opposition. Eurobarometer conducted a separate poll in March 2025 that found 45% in favor and 53% against. Nationalism was already rising in Bulgaria, but this adoption of the euro will heighten the nation’s political divide as half the population does not want to surrender its identity to Brussels.

Adopting the euro is a politically motivated rather than a strategic economic move. Bulgaria has lost its remaining freedom from the EU and surrendered all economic freedoms.
