Ursula von der Leyen is the current President of the European Commission. She was Minister of Defence in the German Government from 2013 to 2019; where she was cited as running a department characterised by “nepotism” and “incompetence”, awarding a large cushy contract to consultants from McKinsey.

Ursula von der Leyen has been noted as a strong advocate for the formation of an EU Army and advocates for a more aggressive foreign policy for the European Union. In 2021, she was promoting vaccine passports. In 2023, she was dubbed "Frau Genocide" for supporting Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The upper class personified

Ursula von der Leyen grew up in an upper-class family, the daughter of the former Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, Ernst Albrecht, scion of an ancient noble family. He worked as one of the first European civil servants in the European Commission in 1958, first as chef de cabinet to the European commissioner for competition Hans von der Groeben in the Hallstein Commission, and then as director-general of the Directorate-General for Competition from 1967 to 1970.

In 1986, she married into the dynasty of the “silk barons” von der Leyen, who have been part of the German establishment since the 18th century. They live in the castle-like family estate in Burgdorf-Beinhorn.

Education and professional career

In 1977, she started studying economics at the University of Göttingen. At the height of the fear of communist terrorism in West Germany, she fled to London in 1978 after her family was told that the Red Army Faction (RAF) was planning to kidnap her due to her being the daughter of a prominent politician. She spent more than a year in hiding in London, where she lived with protection from Scotland Yard under the name Rose Ladson to avoid detection and enrolled at the London School of Economics.

In 1980, she switched to studying medicine and enrolled at the Hannover Medical School, where she graduated in 1987 and acquired her medical license.

From 1988 to 1992, she worked as an assistant physician at the Women's Clinic of the Hannover Medical School. Upon completing her doctoral studies, she graduated as a Doctor of Medicine in 1991. Following the birth of twins (she has seven children in all), she was a housewife in Stanford, California, from 1992 to 1996, while her husband was a faculty member of Stanford University.

From 1998 to 2002, she taught at the Department of Epidemiology, Social Medicine and Health System Research at the Hannover Medical School. In 2001 she earned a Master of Public Health degree at the institution.

Political Career

Her meteoric rise began in the early 2000s, when she was drawn into politics in father's footsteps. Thanks to his networks, despite her inexperience, she was not only able to secure a secure direct mandate for the Lower Saxony state parliament, but was also appointed Family Minister by family friend Christian Wulff - a clever PR coup, the blonde, preppy mother of seven with the chaste hairstyle was able to do be sold as a symbol of successful conservative ideals.

A year later the “power woman” was elected to the leadership of CDU and two years later she became Federal Family Minister in Angela Merkel's cabinet. There, she started a campaign to introduce Internet blocks, earning her the nickname "Zensursula".

In 2013, she was moved over to Federal Defense Ministry, which threatened to founder her career. Although the military budget became bigger, the equipment and logistics problems of the Bundeswehr also became more mismanaged. Instead of tackling the underlying problems politically, von der Leyen hired a whole army of advisors from well-known law firms and consulting firms for large sums, whose task was also and above all to conceal the failure of the minister and to sell her positively at the taxpayer's expense.

Her ideological orientation became more and more radical, as a foreign and security policy hawk who has fully integrated herself into the transatlantic NATO strategy, standing behind the model of militarization of the EU and the West with a “policy of strength” to continue a new Cold War with Russia.

She is an advocate of a "European Defence Union", with an army which can act independently of NATO and the United States.

Ursula's Famous Text Messages

As President of the European Union, she "accidentally deleted" text messages which document her deal with Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla that involved purchasing 1.8 billion doses of Comirnaty of at a cost of €35 billion. Ursula, whose husband Heiko is Medical Director of Orgenesis which was delisted from Nasdaq in 2024, a cell/ gene therapy company which does business with Pfizer, is so compromised that even the European Parliament felt embarrassed enough to do an investigation. Predictably he was found to be innocent of all misdeeds. Despite being ordered by the EU Court of "Justice" to release The text messages, the European Commission has never released them..

No Confidence

In October 2025 the Teflon Lady Von der Leyen faced a no confidence motion in the European Parliament. (Watch This Space.)

Brexit

Ursula von der Leyen and the three suits: first too small, second too big and third just right

"The Brexit agreement was written in English so they could understand it!"

On Sunday 13 December 2020, Ursula von der Leyen said the EU’s relations with the UK are going to be “about new beginnings with old friends”.

She was asked if the two sides could reach a deal with three weeks left before the transition period ends, and future trading would be under World Trade Organization rules.

The President of the European Commission said "there is movement" in the Brexit talks but the UK had the choice to “play by our rules” if it wants "seamless access" to the EU single market, or see “border and tariffs”.

Frau Genocide

On 24 December 2023, describing Ursula von der Leyen as a cheerleader for the genocidal apartheid regime of Israel, Clare Daly MEP said:

"And now a 'Defence of Democracy Package' from a Commission led by a figure no member of the public ever voted for, who's spent the last 3 months swooping in and speaking over the foreign policies of elected governments, all to cheerlead for a genocidal apartheid regime. Nein danke, Frau Genocide!"

Propaganda following war's first casualty

On 13 October 2023, when Ursula von der Leyen travelled to Tel Aviv, Benjamin Netanyahu told her:

“Thank you, Ursula. I appreciate the expression of support that you gave now and in recent days and the fact that so many European countries have stood with us shoulder-to-shoulder.

“These are not merely acts of war, these are war crimes. What Hamas has done is to perpetrate the worst war crimes since the Holocaust: the burning of people alive, cramming young people into a room, bringing spare tyres from cars so there is more flames, burning them alive. This is the Holocaust method.

“Shooting babies, bound children, shooting them in the face, killing children in front of their parents, killing parents in front of their children, the rape and murder of women, the kidnapping of old people, young people, families, carrying them away. You saw the picture of that little boy. Pushed. Beaten. It reminds us of the pictures from the worst periods of the Holocaust.

“If Hamas could have its way, it would do to us exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews—they would kill every last one of us, they would mutilate our bodies, they would behead us, and that’s what they did. And therefore, it’s important to understand that Hamas perpetrated the worst war crimes since World War II.

“And Hamas is ISIS in some respects. As US President Joe Biden said, they’re worse than ISIS. And so they have to be treated the way ISIS was treated. The international community, banded together, to eradicate this horrible scourge. And I appreciate the fact that the international community and Europe is standing behind Israel so that we can eradicate this scourge. We are doing so, I think in the front line of civilisation. This is the front line of civilisation between barbarism. And we have to ensure that nobody meets with the barbarians.

“There are not diplomatic relations with ISIS, there are not diplomatic relations with Al-Qaeda after 9/11 and there is no harbouring, states that harbour Hamas representation or harbouring ISIS or Al Qaeda. That’s unthinkable. There should be a concrete position of the international community to apply sanctions on countries that do so. If we stand united, then civilisation will win.

“Israel appreciates the support that you are giving us in these trying times, and I’m sure we’ll have other ideas that we’ll talk about in our meeting. Thank you, Ursula.”
