Welcome to the EU-US Forum Weekly Tip Sheet, your go-to product for information about the EU-US Forum and its work, timely updates on the dangerous far-left ideas coming out of the European Union, and detailed analysis on the key players influencing European politics.
We send this out weekly to keep you apprised of the most important political and policy topics in Europe as we continue to work toward our mission of exposing the EU’s radical agenda and the threat it poses to the US and Western Civilization.
🇦🇹 SEE YOU IN VIENNA! Just announced: the EU-US Forum is back in Europe next month in Vienna, Austria on August 13th for a fireside chat event with Former Ambassador to Germany and Acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, and Fox News Contributor, Guy Benson. The two will be discussing the future of EU-US relations.

1. 🐷 REGULATE ‘TIL WE DIE: The EU’s Green Agenda is alive and well (as always) through a newly enacted directive targeting its own industries and livestock, namely 37,000 industry facilities and 38,500 farms, which makes up 30% of the EU’s farms. The new directive adds more pig and poultry farms under their environmental purview and equates the farming industry with industrial industries with the same regulatory requirements.
The EU’s greatest minds seem to think that more intense restrictions on necessary industries will “help promote innovation” when in reality, they will stifle not only industries but Europe’s food sources even more, leading to higher costs, later imposed on the consumer, to conform to their drastic environmental standards.
After Brussels and other EU cities were rocked by farmers protesting overregulation, Brussels eurocrats doubled down on their regulation. The EU is now adding to the original 2022 legislation to more closely align with the EU’s 2030 and 2050 climate and carbon goals.
The Commission wanted to include cattle farms in this new round of regulations (The EU claims cattle farming is responsible for 50% of the union’s total EU methane emissions and 25% of its ammonia emissions?) but backed out after pressure not to. Nevertheless, they plan to come back with a new strategy against cattle farmers within the next two years.
2. PARIS ARRESTS CHRISTIANS: Paris police arrested seven Christians for driving a bus that featured an ad calling out the Olympic opening ceremony’s disrespectful rendition of the Last Supper. The bus compared the Olympics’ Last Supper rendition to da Vinci’s original and wrote, “Stop Attacks on Christians!”
FREE SPEECH WHO? The police arrested the group for not notifying authorities of a “protest,” but they weren’t technically protesting, they were just driving a bus around the city. The police forced the group to remove the bus from the city and spend the night in prison before being released and “closed the case due to an irregularity, as the time limit for presentation to a judicial police officer was too late and the reason for the arrests was not sufficiently precise.”
The group responded that “It appears impossible to constitute the crime of failing to communicate a protest because there is no protest in the presence of one unique vehicle. The prosecutor pushed the law to its limits to stop the bus and limit their free speech. Moreover, the procedure was irregular.”
The far-left has taken over Paris and they are kicking out any dissent without a care for the freedom of speech or religion.
3. 🔪 🎬 KNIVES FOR NETFLIX: Due to rampant knife attacks across the Germany, individuals will receive a one-year Netflix subscription for turning in “banned and dangerous” knives to the police. This comes after the government imposed strict new laws against carrying knives over a certain size in public.
Just last year, almost 14,000 knife attacks occurred in Germany, a 30% increase from the year prior. At a Berlin hospital, they have already reached the number of stab wounds they typically receive in a year calling the spiraling trend a “threatening development for society.”
SURPRISING?: Most of the violent criminals in the nation’s capital “are young, male and have a non-German background,” aka part of Europe’s mass “irregular” migration wave.
Recent attacks include a 25-year-old Afghan and illegal immigrant stabbing and killing a police officer, a Syrian migrant stabbing a four-year-old in public, and Syrian teen stabbing a family after being released from committing 34 other crimes within 31 months.
🛑 GREEN AGENDA ROADBLOCK?: An EU Ombudsman sided with a conservative think tank and overruled the EU Commission’s refusal to release documents related to the Nature Restoration Law’s consultation period with Leftist environmental nonprofits. The law is a part of the EU’s Green Agenda, designating at least 20% of member states’ land as preserved land and adding new environmental regulations on land use, which raises concerns over food insecurity due to farmland loss.
The Ombudsman deemed the documents non-sensitive and unnecessarily restricted and stated that she did not see any sufficient reasoning as to why the documents would have been withheld by the Commission as they were.
Conservative think tank MCC Brussels requested the documents over concerns of the role nonprofits played in its lawmaking. MCC Brussels received the requested documents, which the Ombudsman deemed non-sensitive, and is combing through the documents.

🚨🚨 THE FAKE RIGHT: The EU’s European People’s Party (EPP) has long been seen by European media as a moderate, centrist party, given their leadership responsibilities (Ursula von der Leyen as Commission President and Parliament President Roberta Metsola both just began their second five-year term.) On policy, the EEP is anything but — with a closer look at their left wing policy stances (supporting the Green Deal, overtaxation, open borders… we could go on). Their new love fest for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, blatant SOCIALISTS, is a good reminder for Americans that the EPP is nowhere near the center.
Politico reports this morning that the “mainstream rightwing” of the EPP is “embracing” socialists Harris and Walz 😳.
The group’s vice chair quote tweeted Walz’s new catchphrase along with one of Walz’s videos and the group’s foreign affairs spokesperson retweeted a pro-Harris video from a “Republicans against Trump” account.
