On Orwell’s Trail: Is the EU Eliminating Digital Privacy?
American Thinker ^ | 25 Nov, 2025 | Thomas Kolbe

Posted on 11/25/2025 4:08:06 AM PST by MtnClimber

A comprehensive communication-scanning regime would allow national authorities to identify political opponents far more quickly -- a tool capable of making life hell for anyone inconvenient to those in power.

It is Ursula von der Leyen’s personal flagship project: the surveillance of private chats. All signs suggest that as early as Wednesday, the EU will make a renewed attempt to establish a dedicated spying authority.

Wednesday could mark a turning point in the history of the European Union. As MCC Brussels and MEP Martin Sonneborn warned on Monday, a decisive vote on the EU’s proposed “chat control” is scheduled for November 26.

The Next Attempt

Both the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers are expected to discuss newly formulated proposals to create an EU agency that would force messaging services like WhatsApp or Signal to scan messages before they are sent and report possible child-pornographic content.

They won’t say it outright -- but everyone understands the real purpose: political dragnet surveillance. Brussels is mobilizing heaven and earth to suppress opposition voices and dismantle their networks with maximum force.

A comprehensive communication-scanning regime would allow national authorities to identify political opponents far more quickly -- a tool capable of making life hell for anyone inconvenient to those in power.

The Digital Execution of Letter Privacy

What the EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen is planning here amounts to the digital execution of the sanctity of correspondence. The irony is almost too rich: von der Leyen herself, embroiled in the Pfizer vaccine procurement scandal, refuses any transparency about her own private messages -- yet places the entire population under general suspicion.

It is as if your neighbor intercepted all your mail, opened it first, and forwarded anything “unwelcome” to a censorship office.

I see . . . “Child Porn” is this decade’s excuse to excise privacy and anonymity. I remember back in the old days when it was “dead bead dads” and “drug money laundering”.

Coming here next.

I have never heard any politician (anywhere on the political Spectrum) propose anti-Orwellian legislation to restore and protect privacy.

Ursula von der Leyen is a World Economic Forum Stooge



They'll eventually have Digital Control 🛂🛂🛂 over
virtually EVERY FINANCIAL and SOCIAL aspect of your life


This noose is going to keep on tightening at the national level in every country - it will definitely have its act together for the New World Order of Daniel 7:23

They ARE going to CONTROL the masses by:

1) Controlling access to your MONEY
2) Controlling access to your FOOD


There will be NO WAY to escape this. They will force you to use a National Digital Currency too - no cash eventually

Now the Mark of the Antichrist Beast DOES NOT happen until the middle of the 7 years of 'Peace and Security'

(Global Digital ID system....The Mark of the Beast.)

Once they have most everyone on Digital Currency and Social Credit scores, it's pretty much game over. There are many who think it won't happen. COVID-19(84) showed just how quickly things can change WORLDWIDE.

NOTE:

I don't post these just for fun. Only to warn the as-yet unbelieving world 🌎🌍 as regarding what is coming. And to attempt to bring in as many souls as possible into His Kingdom. 🛐🛐🛐✝️✝️✝️. The most life-changing events, EVER, are coming to planet Earth 🌍🌎🌏.

I can only pray 🙏🙏🙏 that it gets SHARED all over the WORLD 🌎🌏🌍 before Satan's goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐 make it nigh-impossible to share the Word of God.
