Prof. Dr. Richard Werner addressed the European Parliament at an event hosted by MEP Christine Anderson, raising concerns over Digital ID systems, central bank digital currencies, and the proposed tokenisation of assets—including natural resources. He warned against increasing digital control, arguing that such systems could concentrate power and potentially limit individual freedoms, while urging greater scrutiny of policies shaping the future of financial and digital governance.

00:00We know that people like Jeffrey Epstein, it's now a public record, were involved as early as 2017 in setting
00:07up the scheme of this great pandemic for some investors to make a fortune, such as Bill Gates.
00:13Epstein and Bill Gates discussed, matter of public record, of how to get rid of the poor people.
00:18And of course it was used at the same time to push digital ID.
00:22Realize it's not just financial activities, it's about all activities.
00:26And the programmability is a key feature.
00:28The Bank of England asked the government, the politicians in the UK to give them the power to have programmable
00:36digital currency.
00:37And that is a controlled tool.
00:40The pilot CBDC projects that are ongoing, for example this one in Brazil in particular, experts have already found out,
00:49yes, it has all those features.
00:50You can freeze transactions, you can take people's money away, you can intervene in those ways.
00:56Now the central planners claim, we will not abuse the limitless power that digital ID and CBDCs will give us.
01:03Okay.
01:05Well, should we trust them?
01:06Well, I can be brief here.
01:07I think all of you know examples of how this sort of power has already been abused.
01:12Just thinking of Justin Trudeau's ending the peaceful demonstrations by truckers in Ottawa.
01:19The bank accounts were frozen.
01:21The ability to buy food is how they got them.
01:24Too few used cash and digital currency.
01:27Well, they didn't have CBDCs, they had to pass laws to do it.
01:30And that will be very easy once you have CBDCs.
01:34The police froze 206 financial products, including bank and corporate accounts, disclosed 56 entities associated with vehicles, facial recognition.
01:42Even 253 Bitcoin addresses were identified and PayPal was also shut down.
01:48So that's how they can do it.
01:51Now, interestingly, no such financial controls had been used previously to stop criminals.
01:57But, of course, peaceful, demonstrating citizens, that's when it seems the central planners get pretty creative about how to stop
02:06people.
02:07And, of course, we all know what happened in 2020, digital IDs suddenly were a topic, vaccination passports as a
02:13backdoor to introduce digital ID.
02:15And then, of course, programmability.
02:17You can, you know, close access if you don't do X, Y, Z.
02:22It can be anything the government central planners decide.
02:25And now we have the EU commissars already abusing their dictatorial powers that they've had for a while, but now
02:31they're showing these powers, but declaring polite, very polite, considered critics like Jacques Bourne, you know, a Swiss former sort
02:41of army officer in his, you know, just giving his opinions.
02:45He's an outlaw now.
02:47He's been sanctioned.
02:48He can't buy food.
02:50He can't leave the country, Belgium, in order to travel back to Switzerland.
02:54It is quite extraordinary.
02:55Now, on the monetary front, the CBDC is the biggest upheaval in our monetary system in more than 300 years.
03:03But the digital aspect is not new.
03:06What is happening, therefore, is the centralization, but it's a particular type of centralization.
03:11The central banks are ripping up the old agreement between the banks and the central banks, which was that the
03:17central banks deal with banks and the banks deal with us.
03:20And, overall, the banks haven't really abused that.
03:22You know, they've never sold our data ever, our transactions data.
03:26They haven't.
03:27That's really why they've become the enemy, because that is supposed to be a currency that they want to sell
03:32and trade, and banks have refused to do that.
03:35So, the central banks are now stepping into the arena and want to compete against their regulated, the banks.
03:41This is like playing football.
03:43The umpire saying, well, it's a bit boring.
03:45I'm going to join.
03:46I'm going to score some goals, but I'll still reserve the right to blow the whistle, give the red card,
03:51give the yellow card.
03:52Who's going to win that game?
03:53So, the bank regulators will compete against the banks.
03:56Because CBDC is just a current account at the central bank.
04:00That's what's happening.
04:02Of course, this conflict of interest explains what the central banks have been doing.
04:07They've been taking anti-bank policies for many decades.
04:10Already in 2002, I warned about how the central banks were creating these asset bubbles, banking crises, recessions.
04:18And, of course, that has continued ever since, unabated, we've got regulatory moral hazard.
04:24The more crises they create, the more powers we give them.
04:27Each time they demand, oh, it's because we didn't have enough powers, which is not actually true and should have
04:33been stopped earlier.
04:35So, can we trust the central banks to give them yet more power?
04:38I think the answer should be a resounding no.
04:40The high inflation that started in 2021 was created by the central banks.
04:44No matter what they tell you about wars, the economics is very clear.
04:48I could forecast it quite successfully from May 2020 onwards that 18 months later we'll get significant inflation.
04:54Because the money creation was just massive off the charts.
04:58Then the central banks imposed a fake pandemic.
05:00You know that story.
05:01And we know that people like Jeffrey Epstein, this is now a public record,
05:06were involved as early as 2017 in setting up the scheme of this great pandemic for some investors to make
05:13a fortune, such as Bill Gates.
05:16And then we can also make money injecting people with stuff and solve the problem, as Epstein and Bill Gates
05:21discussed,
05:22matter of public record, of how to get rid of the poor people.
05:26And, of course, it was used at the same time to push digital ID.
05:31Now, this is, you know, what they're giving us is not the only option.
05:36We can have prosperity.
05:39Their goal is zero growth, negative growth.
05:41Germany now, third year of recession.
05:43First time this is 1933.
05:45But, actually, we could have high growth everywhere in the world and prosperity for all.
05:50How do you do that?
05:51200 years of strong economic growth in Germany were due to many, many small banks, local money creation, money lent
05:58to small firms.
05:59They're the main employer, 60%, 70% of employment is with SMEs.
06:03That's how you spread the prosperity.
06:06These hidden champions in Germany, where Germany really sticks out, is small firms that are global market leaders.
06:12Yes.
06:13Now, how is that possible?
06:14Because Germany has the largest number of banks in Europe.
06:18Well, we should use past tense, had the largest number of banks.
06:22And they were mostly small local banks.
06:24That is the way to generate prosperity.
06:26But the central planners don't like that, and they've been killing banks.
06:30So, ECB policies have been very successful.
06:32Under the ECB, a very young central bank, already 6,000 banks have disappeared in Europe.
06:36And, surprise, surprise, it's not Goldman Sachs that has disappeared.
06:41So, Last Chance Saloon, and I'm wrapping up here.
06:44The overarching trend of the 20th century was the concentration of power in the hands of few and fewer people.
06:48Lord Acton, quite wisely, and he was really an observer of politics for many decades, concluded power corrupts.
06:56That's the reality.
06:56That's human nature.
06:57If you give people power, too much power, it will lead to bad results.
07:02Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
07:03So, we have to stop the further spread of digital ID and the introduction of CBDCs.
07:09Already, Europe is being deindustrialized, economically destroyed.
07:13We can't give these central planners that have delivered this yet more powers.
07:16Instead, we need to decentralize, break up the concentrated power, oppose digital ID.
07:21We are sovereign individuals.
07:23We don't need to prove our identity.
07:24If somebody wants to check identity, well, that's their problem.
07:27We need to oppose digital asset registers and tokenization of our assets and of nature.
07:32And we need, most of all, of course, to oppose CBDCs.
07:35A decentralized monetary system is the future.
07:37Many small local banks in a decentralized fashion implementing subsidiarity.
07:43That has proven to be very successful.
07:45That's how China became an economic superpower within one generation.
07:50They moved from one bank in the Soviet system, central planners loved it,
07:54to 5,000 banks with 30 loan offices in 35 branches.
07:59That's more than 5 million people checking millions and millions of small firm loan applications
08:04for productive business investment.
08:06It's easier to find people to govern themselves than people fit to govern others
08:10because those who are currently governing us, they're not fit to do so.
08:15Thank you very much.
