Ursula von der Leyen, world's most powerful and worst woman
The lady who texted with Pfizer's president over the price and number of doses of COVID vaccines the EU would buy--10 doses per person. What else has she done?
I had totally forgotten that reading Peter Koenig’s article on Ursula put her in my head. I should have cited him and didn’t. So I will now.
The 2022 Global Goalkeeper Award, which was presented by Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, recognizes a leader who has driven progress on a global scale toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This year’s award was presented to Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission…
She led the efforts of the European Union to support lower-income countries in responding to and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, including a commitment of €1 billion from the EU to boost manufacturing capacity in Africa in order to increase access to vaccines, medicines, and health technologies. In June 2020, at the Global Vaccine Summit, von der Leyen also announced a new European Commission’s contribution of €300 million to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This is more than the sum of all previous EU contributions to Gavi.
For Ursula, you give away the EU’s money to Bill Gates’ charity Gavi, and you get an award from GATES. I looked in 20 places but could not find the monetary value of the BMGF award to Ursula, which makes me wonder if it is huge?
Ursula, yet another physician, is widely hated in Europe. A mother of seven children, whose father was a politician, she practiced little medicine, instead moving into politics at about age forty. In 2005 she joined Angela Merkel’s cabinet, where she remained through the duration of Merkel’s Chancellorship, eventually becoming Germany’s Defense Minister. From Wikipedia:
On 2 July 2019, von der Leyen was proposed by the European Council as the candidate for president of the European Commission.[3][4] She was then elected by the European Parliament on 16 July;[5][a] she took office on 1 December, becoming the first woman to hold the office. In November 2022 von der Leyen announced that her Commission will work to establish an International Criminal Tribunal for the Russian Federation.[7]
Von der Leyen was included in Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2020[8] and again in 2022,[9] and was named the most powerful woman in the world by Forbes in 2022.
In Germany, plagiarism of a doctoral thesis is very serious, and von der Leyen was accused of this and found guilty, but skated by it. She became a Board member of the World Economic Forum in 2016. She has been an extremely loyal globalist flunkey. And has also dodged several corruption allegations.

Below I have selected excerpts from an article in Zero Hedge yesterday about the ways farmers are being squeezed by impossible EU standards that are designed to put farmers out of business and reduce European food production. Ursula’s response? Let them eat cake.
"Why Does Brussels Hate Us?" Livid EU Farmers Hit Back At Green Agenda
European farmers are furious over a plan by the European Union which would force then to be treated as industrial plants, similar to steel mills or chemical works, in order to force them to cut greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution, the Financial Times reports.
Greek farmer Takis Kazanas, 66, and his four sons run a 230-acre ranch with 300 cattle ranch in the mountains overlooking the Thessalian Plain. While the farmers already capture biogas from cow dung, and use homemade manure vs. chemical fertilizer, Kazanas is one of many farmers up in arms over environmentalist bureaucrats who want to impose crippling new rules on them in order to cut emissions by 55% by 2030 vs. 1990 levels.
"That’s what the EU says and that’s what I do," says Kazanas, regarding the 'earth-friendly' measures he already employs. "Today, everyone blames cattle for methane production and pollution . . . I have a different opinion."
The sheer scale of the transformation that the European Commission is asking for in its Farm to Fork strategy — halving the amount of pesticides applied by 2030, cutting the use of fertilisers, doubling organic production and rewilding some farmland — would be remarkable even in less urgent times.
…According to Brussels, nitrous oxides found in fertilizer, as well as animal urine and poop, are a large part of the problem.
One problem facing farmers is thin margins between organic producers who survive on local trade, to pig farmers whose profits are being whittled away by international competition. As the Times notes, "even a small increase in the price of feed can wipe out annual profits."
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU almost immediately unveiled 'Farm to Fork' pollution targets. According to a senior commission official, "the debate has changed."
The goals of the program, via FT, are to:
Cut the use of chemical and hazardous pesticides by 50% by 2030
Reduce fertiliser use by 20% by 2030
Lower by 50% the sales of antimicrobials for farmed animals and in aquaculture
Increase the amount of land devoted to organic farming to 25% in 2030 from 9.1% in 2020
Bigger livestock farms to comply with clean air and water regulations that apply to heavy industry
Boeren op een Kruispunt, an independent non-profit offering mental health counselling to farmers in Flanders, northern Belgium, has reported a 44 per cent increase in demand in 2022 compared with 2021, he says.
According to the French Institute for Health, farmers are three times more likely to commit suicide than other professionals. As Caroline van der Plas, leader of the BBB, told the Dutch parliament this month: “People who provide our daily food . . . are dismissed as animal abusers, poisoners, soil destroyers and environmental polluters.”
EU environmentalists don't care.
"It is a significant change for our farmers, but inevitably they will have to be part of the solution," said Virginijus Sinkevičius, the EU’s environment and fisheries commissioner, who added: "Maybe that won’t happen overnight."
And according to the office of European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, "The commission is convinced that the transition to a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector, in line with the European green deal and its Farm to Fork and biodiversity strategies, is fundamental to food security."
What is meant by resilient, sustainable and food security? Lower yields, hungry people, and yes, less pollution—but other regulations could lower pollution without skyrocketing food prices, hunger and increased starvation. The globalists have hijacked our language and our desire for a healthier planet to impose suffering and population reduction. Ursula leads the way.
We call her Hairspray Hitler.
