Somewhere in the labyrinthine depths of the European Union Commission, the executive engine of the EU, a peculiar digital vault hums. It's a computer housing "secret documents" that cannot be searched or printed, files that vanish from view after a mere thirty minutes. As reporters for Welt am Sonntag have observed, this bizarre system isn't just about secrecy; it's about making access, even for authorised individuals, an exercise in frustration. Why would the Eurocrats design such an intentionally obnoxious user experience? The unsettling truth, buried within the files themselves, offers a chilling answer that should reverberate far beyond the confines of Brussels.
These hidden documents, if Welt am Sonntag's reporting is accurate, expose the European Commission's deployment of deeply unsavoury tactics to unilaterally push its radical "Green Deal." This agenda, aiming for continent-wide "climate neutrality" by 2050, isn't merely a set of environmental policies; it's a blueprint for the deindustrialisation of Europe. And the Commission, seemingly unchecked, is determined to force it through, not just over the heads of dissenting voices within the EU, but, astonishingly, behind the backs of its own member states.
The most egregious revelation from this digital trove is a truly "insane" contract from 2022. The EU Commission reportedly paid ClientEarth, an NGO, €350,000 for specific activism in Germany. This wasn't just about staging protests or climate camps. This was about ClientEarth being paid to wage "lawfare" against German coal-fired power plants, in the immediate aftermath of Germany's energy crisis. The Commission explicitly sought to "increase the financial and legal risk of the ownership and operation of [coal-fired] power plants," by targeting their emissions and water use permits in court. Imagine: your own government, funded by your own taxes, actively orchestrating legal attacks on your country's vital infrastructure, all without your national government's knowledge. This isn't cooperation; it's a covert war waged from within, utilising a nation's own legal system as a weapon against itself.
This ClientEarth agreement was not an isolated incident. The Commission funnelled over €15 million in taxpayer funds in 2022 alone to various NGOs for similar "activist and lobbying activities." While €15 million might seem a paltry sum in the grand scheme of Eurocracy, it's a colossal amount when considering the immense, often unseen, influence NGOs wield in shaping public discourse for relatively little outlay. And this is just what Welt am Sonntag could access for one year; these tactics are believed to stretch back to at least 2017 and are presumed to be ongoing.
The implications for national sovereignty are profound. This isn't just about the EU executive promoting its agenda; it's about it secretly interfering in the domestic politics of sovereign member states. But the Commission's tentacles stretch further, influencing internally too. Another reported contract, a €700,000 deal with "Friends of the Earth," reveals the Commission paying an NGO to lobby against the EU's own longstanding efforts to secure a free trade agreement with the Mercosur bloc. While member states like Germany and the EU's own Directorate-General of Trade were painstakingly working towards this agreement, a different arm of the Commission, the Directorate-General of the Environment was allegedly paying an external group to "torpedo" the whole thing. This is self-sabotage by stealth, an internal war within the very heart of the EU, leveraging external proxies against its own stated objectives.
Contracts with Bankwatch, the European Environmental Bureau, and the Health and Environment Alliance, all for similar lobbying and influence operations, reinforce a disturbing pattern. Paying €700,000 to lobby against glyphosate, including specific demands for 50 to 80 anti-chemical tweets and meetings with MEPs, illustrates a deeply embedded culture of influence peddling. Regardless of one's personal views on industrial agriculture or chemicals, the fundamental issue is the EU Commission, supposedly an executive body, actively lobbying other branches of the EU, and external governments, to support its specific environmental agenda using taxpayer money and covert means.
What these revelations expose is an EU Commission that has mutated far beyond its intended role as a mere executive branch. Particularly its "climatist" factions appear to have developed autonomous features, operating with a disturbing degree of independence and opacity. This isn't just about pursuing a policy; it's about engaging in what can only be described as economic warfare on EU member states, often without their knowledge and, in many cases, directly against their national interests and desires.
This is the anti-globalist nightmare made manifest. It's the unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy of a supranational entity actively subverting the democratic processes and sovereign will of its constituent nations. It paints a picture of a Eurocracy so insulated, so convinced of its own righteousness, that it feels entitled to manipulate, coerce, and undermine its members through secret deals and proxy wars. The secret computer in Brussels, with its self-destructing files and frustrating interface, is more than just a quirky detail; it's a potent symbol of a globalist agenda operating in the shadows, actively working to reshape nations from the inside out, without transparency, accountability, or consent. This is not governance; this is quiet, insidious revolution, and its implications for democracy and national autonomy are terrifying.

"Somewhere in the bowels of the Brussels Eurocracy – specifically, in the guts of the EU Commission, which is the executive authority of the European Union – there is a computer where one may view secret documents.
One can neither search nor print the files called up on this computer, and windows stay open for only thirty minutes at a time. Thereafter they close automatically and one must load the files again. Reporters for the Welt am Sonntag, who have seen this bizarre terminal, speculate that secrecy is only one purpose, and that another is to make the reading experience difficult even for those who enjoy authorisation.
Why the Eurocrats would want to make using this computer an obnoxious experience becomes easier to understand when you learn more about the crazy stuff stored on its hard drive.
The documents hidden there attest to the unsavoury tactics that the Commission has deployed to promote its so-called Green Deal – a range of policy initiatives designed to make the Continent "climate neutral" by 2050. If they are ever fully realised, these policies will spell the unilateral deindustrialisation of Europe, and the Commission is determined to force them through over the heads of dissenting voices in the EU and where necessary even behind the backs of member states.
On our supersecret terminal is a truly insane contract concluded in 2022 between the EU Commission and a non-governmental organisation known as ClientEarth. In this instrument, the Commission agreed to pay ClientEarth €350,000 in exchange for specific activism in Germany. This included the things you'd expect; for example, the NGO pledged to cooperate with the environmentaloid scene and to help stage civic protests and climate camps. But ClientEarth also sold the more nefarious service of waging lawfare against coal-fired German power-plants, and this in the immediate aftermath of the German energy crisis. The Commission specifically wanted ClientEarth to "increase the financial and legal risk of the ownership and operation of [coal-fired] power plants," by targeting their emissions and water use permits in court. They were to carry out their work without the knowledge of the German government, effectively weaponising our own courts against us.
The ClientEarth agreement was but one of many such contracts concluded between the EU Commission and various NGOs for similar purposes. Altogether, the Commission dispensed over €15 million in taxpayer funds in 2022, all of it for activist and lobbying activities in 2023. That may not sound like a lot, but we must remember, first, that NGOs are by and large an extremely cheap way to influence public discourse; and, second, that Welt am Sonntag has had access only to contracts concluded in this one year. These general tactics are thought to go back to 2017 at least and they are presumed to be ongoing.
In addition to secret interference in the domestic politics of member states, the EU Commission uses NGOs for internal influence – for example, to promote its Green agenda to legislators in the European Parliament and even to undermine other initiatives in the EU Commission itself.
Another 2022 contract described by Welt am Sonntag relates to a €700,000 deal with the "international network of grassroots environmental organisations" known as Friends of the Earth. The EU paid this NGO to lobby against the EU's own longstanding efforts to secure a free trade agreement with the South American trade bloc known as Mercosur. While EU member states like Germany have pushed hard for free trade with Mercosur, and while the Directorate-General of Trade within the EU Commission has worked for a long time to hammer out the details, the Directorate-General of the Environment across the hall hopes to torpedo the whole thing. Thus they paid Friends of the Earth to do everything possible to "stop" the Mercosur agreement "in its present form," among other things by drawing attention to its allegedly "harmful consequences for human rights and the environment." Friends of the Earth were paid to conduct "at least three meetings with representatives of the European parliament" and "two meetings with representatives of the EU Commission," specifically with the Directorate-General of Trade to persuade them to scuttle their own project.
They report other contracts too – with Bankwatch, the European Environmental Bureau and the Health and Environment Alliance. The latter were paid €700,000 to lobby against the herbicide glyphosate, inter alia by posting between 50 and 80 Tweets against the chemical and meeting with four to six members of the European parliament. You may not be a fan of industrial agriculture and many of you will have reservations about the harmful effects of industrial chemicals, but that doesn't matter. The Commission just has no business lobbying other branches of the EU to support its environmental agenda.
As a whole, these activities are remarkable for seeming to show an EU Commission that has ceased to function as merely the executive branch of the EU. Particularly the climatist elements of the Commission have begun to acquire autonomous features, as they pursue what can only be described as economic warfare on EU member states, without the knowledge and often against the wishes of the EU itself."
