MICHAEL WALSH SPOTLIGHT ON CORRUPTION

The Digital Shredder: When Power Deletes the Record.

Birds of a feather flock together. Ursula von der Leyen negotiated a €71 billion vaccine deal. She communicated with Pfizer’s CEO via private text messages.

When journalists and the EU Ombudsman asked to see them, she said they had ‘vanished.’

Not misplaced. Not archived. Vanished.

This is the same Ursula von der Leyen (nee Albrecht). Her phone was conveniently wiped during a corruption investigation. This happened when she was Germany’s Defense Minister.

The same Ursula von der Leyen whose husband operates in the biotech sector that quietly benefits from EU funding streams.

The European Court has now ruled that she was wrong to withhold the messages. And yet there is no resignation. No sanction. No reckoning.

Because in 2025, accountability is reserved for the governed, not the governors.

They negotiate your health, your money, and your future through disappearing apps. Then they sermonize about transparency, emergency powers, and trust. They demand records from you while erasing their own.

Every message you send is stored. Every movement you make is logged. Every word can be retrieved, indexed, and used against you. Except theirs.

This isn’t incompetence. It’s creative, corrupt architecture.

A system where risk is public, profit is private, and memory is optional for those in charge. The Digital Shredder doesn’t malfunction. It protects power.
