EU Leaders Call for “Regulatory Reset”, But It’s Just A Power Play

October 25, 2025

The criticism of the European Union’s regulatory policies is growing louder. In a letter to Ursula von der Leyen, 19 EU heads of government demand the abolition of “superfluous and unbalanced regulations.”

It’s a grotesque political theater we are witnessing these days. Nineteen EU heads of government have signed a semi-public letter—obtained by Handelsblatt—demanding nothing less than a “regulatory reset” in Brussels. This comes after years of these same governments diligently building up the bloc’s eco-bureaucratic behemoth. …

Their stated goal: to return Europe to a path of growth and competitiveness.

The letter calls for the elimination of “superfluous, excessive or unbalanced regulations.” A truism, perhaps—but in the face of Brussels’ sprawling regulatory apparatus, this reads like a maximalist demand, as real reform would also require dismantling parts of the bureaucracy itself.

The authors also demand relief for SMEs from reporting obligations—such as those contained in the planned supply chain law—and from absurd climate regulations like the EU deforestation regulation. … the transformation toward an increasingly centrally planned EU economy is supposed to run more smoothly. …

Brussels and EU capitals are now, in effect, aligning with the blueprint laid out by former Mario Draghi. He had called for an investment fund worth €800 billion annually for the Eurozone economy—flanked by deregulation where it suits Brussels’ interests. … despite the lofty language in the letter to von der Leyen, there will be no real regulatory or administrative relief for businesses. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/eu-leaders-call-regulatory-reset-its-just-power-play

As reported here earlier this year, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen survived the ‘no-confidence’ vote, but she and Europe still have major issues they are facing (see Ursula von der Leyen survives ‘no confidence vote,’ but is civil war coming to Europe?).

Yes, Europe needs to reorganize. But this proposal is not enough, though in a sense it could be a prelude to a coming reorganization (cf. Revelation 17:12-13) as I am certain that the European Beast leader who will rise up will promise economic growth with reduced bureaucracy, among other things.

The EU Guarantees Its Own Destruction

July 10, 2025

Ursula von der Leyen may be the absolute worst head of state in modern history. She has single-handedly ensured the collapse of the European Union according to our computer. She destroyed the EU economy with her NET-ZERO policies, destroying farmers and sending food prices rising. She then imposed dictatorial policies demanding migrants be taken in despite the drastic changes in culture, and then has put out the BS that to protect free speech, they must censor disinformation, to ensure peace in Euirope {sic} they need to go to war with Russia, and while she advocates total sensorship {sic} far worse than whatever existed in the USSR or even Communist China, yet refuses to release her own text messages with Pfizer.

While Ursula, who has never stood for election, pretends to be an elected democratic leader, calling Putin a dictator who at least stood for election, survived the NO CONFIDENCE vote to the detriment of Europe. The mere fact that this came to a vote demonstrates what our computer has been forecasting. The EU will fragment because of the dictatorial policies of Ursula. She is the perfect leader installed at the precise time that our computer warns that the EU will never survive. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/europes-current-economy/the-eu-guarantees-its-own-destruction/

The Economic Confidence Model (ECM), sometimes referred to as the Pi Cycle, is our base model for comprehending the global economy. This model has accurately predicted major economic events well in advance. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/about/ viewed 07/11/25

Martin Armstrong has a computer program called Socrates which he claims is very accurate in its predictions.

But he and his program do not seem to rely on, nor properly understand, biblical prophecies–particularly related to Europe.

Now, while there will be problems in Europe (cf. Daniel 2:41-43; Matthew 24:4-8), an even more united Europe will emerge after Ursula von der Leyen is out of power.

One of the policies that she has been promoting is a stronger European military.

While many think that the age of Europe being a military power is over, the Bible teaches otherwise:

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:1-4)

Continuing Church of God rendering of the Beast that rises
from the sea (Revelation 13:1-2 and 17:3)

The sea referred to above is called the “Great Sea” in Daniel 7 associated with the Beast. The “Great Sea” that bordered the ancient lands of Israel (Numbers 34:6-7; Joshua 1:4; 9:1; 23:4; Ezekiel 47:13-16) is the Mediterranean Sea–and that is the sea that Daniel was referring to.

The prophecy in Revelation 13 is referring to a rearmed European power.

Whether or not Europe will keep the name “European Union,” the Bible clearly shows that Europe will reorganize and a strong leader will emerge:

12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13, NKJV)

The final European Beast leader, who is also known as the final King of the North, will not tolerate obstacles in his way like regulations and bureaucracy.

He will ultimately destroy the USA (Daniel 11:39) and its British-descended allies (cf. Daniel 8:24-25; 11:24), as well as conquer a coming power from the Middle East and North Africa (Daniel 11:40-43).

We will continue to see Europe moving towards its biblically-revealed role.

While I do expect the EU to have economic and other problems, do not rely on forecasts, via a computer or otherwise, that claim that Europe will totally break apart before the end of this age.

Believe the word of God (cf. Romans 3:4).

Europe will reorganize and rise up.
