Speaking at an ECR Group event in Poland, Dutch Member of the European Parliament (“MEP”) Rob Roos exposed the various ways unelected globalist technocrats at the European Union (“EU”) are attempting to seize complete totalitarian control – including the fabricated “climate crisis”, digital ID, CBDCs and the war on farmers.

Rob Roos is an engineer by profession with substantial experience in the energy sector and was a successful businessman before entering politics. He has been an MEP since 2019 and is a member of the  European Conservatives and Reformists (“ECR”) Group, a centre-right political group in the European Parliament. 

Established in 2009 under the founding principles of the Prague Declaration, it brought together MEPs from across the European Union who supported a vision of common-sense reform for the whole EU.

The event in Warsaw, Poland, was held from 5 to 9 February. The final day’s session was titled ‘The EU as a superstate or a community of sovereign states?’.  It was during this session that Mr. Roos delivered a ten-minute speech.

“The bureaucrats and centralists in Brussels are addicted to power and I will explain six ways they use to gain more and more power in time,” Mr. Roos said.

“First, they use and abuse every crisis: financial crisis, covid crisis, Ukraine crisis, energy crisis,” Mr Roos said.  “And the solution is always the same … more European Union.”

“If there’s no crisis … they create a crisis.  For example, climate change; they call it an existential threat and the solution is the Green Deal.  The Green Deal destroyed our energy system it is destroying our food system. They are trying to control CO₂. If you control CO₂, you control people, because everything we do in life is about CO₂ emissions: living, breathing, eating, travelling. So, if you can control that, you can control people’s lives.”

Second, is the is the war on disinformation.  “It’s about the end of free speech.  It’s about censorship,” he said. “Free speech is not only a right, it’s an obligation.”

“But now they have introduced the digital identity and the central bank digital currency. So, they can see everything we do and they can control everything we do because they can shut off our financial system whenever they want. We have seen it already in Canada during the covid crisis.”

Thirdly, there is a “go trail” in existing treaties. For example, the 800-billion-euro common debt via the Covid Recovery Fund. Nothing is as permanent as something temporarily implemented by the bureaucrats,” Mr. Roos said.

Fourthly, he said, the EU centralists simulate democracy “participation” by sitting at the table with so-called non-governmental organisations (“NGOs”) which are paid by the same governments. “The European Union spent 3.7 billion euros per year for left-liberal hobbies: immigration, gender policies, climate change,” he said.

Fifthly, EU law supersedes national law.  “That’s a problem because the [European Court of Justice] is politicised,” Mr Roos explained.

The sixth and final way the EU bureaucrats in Brussels gain more power is through changing treaties.  “Even if a small part of these treaty changes is adopted, they will gain much more power and it will turn our nation states into provinces of Brussels,” he said. “National parliaments [won’t be] relevant anymore.  People [will] go out [to] vote just for show because almost everything will be decided in Brussels.”

“We are facing a gigantic machine that is called the European Commission where 35,000 civil servants work on a daily basis to an ever-closer Union.  And they will use everything they can to reach that goal.

“We are heading to a big European superstate.

“They want to abolish the nation state because once that happens, they have complete control. We are heading to, what I call, a new kind of communism … It’s a communism of technocrats.”

For the sake of our children and grandchildren, “the main goal must be to stop the Globalists, to stop the wokeist and to make the nation state our priority,” Mr. Roos said.
