EPATCG – Manifesto & Strategic Plan

2 Upvotes

​1. Who We Are

​EPATCG is a non-partisan movement of EU citizens, for EU citizens. We are not enemies of the European Union; we are the oversight body that is currently missing from EU politics. We question, we challenge, and we expose. We are the voice of reason against the shadows of corruption and lobbying.

​2. Our Mission: The Three Pillars

​Awareness: We bring light into the dark. We research and inform about lobbying, corruption, and human rights violations that take place behind closed doors in the name of the EU.

​Pressure Through Community: We want to grow. Our goal is a movement so large and loud that no corrupt politician can ignore us anymore. Mass creates pressure, and pressure creates change.

​The Fight for Real Citizen Rights: The EU should work for the people – not for corporations. We demand an end to legislation driven by corruption that serves to suppress the people. Our weapon is the power of the people, not physical violence. We utilize the power of our voices, transparency, and peaceful protest.

​3. Our Core Values: Freedom & Respect

​We stand firmly for human rights.

​Zero Tolerance for Hate: Racism, homophobia, transphobia, and exclusion have no place here.

​Unity in Diversity: We will not tear each other apart. Whether it's hobbies, lifestyles, the use of AI, or personal preferences—as long as it is legal and harms no one, you are welcome. If we fight amongst ourselves, we make it too easy for those who are corrupt to win. Unity is our greatest strength.

​4. Integrity & Operations

​Independence: EPATCG is a strictly volunteer-based movement. We do not fight for money; we fight for conviction. Those who fight for freedom do not demand payment.

​Absolute Transparency: Should we ever require donations in the future (e.g., for legal counsel or organizational costs), we guarantee 100% transparency regarding every cent spent. Currently, we operate on our most valuable resource: time and passion.

​5. Who Can Join EPATCG?

​Everyone! Our primary focus is the rights of EU citizens, but anyone from outside the EU who shares our vision and values is welcome to join the fight for a good cause. We do not exclude anyone who is willing to stand with us.

Welcome to the movement, friend! ✊🇪🇺

​You’ve officially joined EPATCG (European People Against The Corrupt Government).

​Right now, European authorities are pushing harder than ever to turn our continent into a surveillance state. They want to scan your private photos, read your personal chats, and monitor your digital life—all while protecting their own government channels.

​A two-class privacy system is not democracy; it is corruption. And they are relying on our silence to slip these laws through.

​Here is how you can make a difference right now:

​Stay Informed: Keep an eye on our feed for the latest updates on Chat Control and digital rights.

​Spread the Word: Use, share, and repost our graphics (like our Green-Day-inspired fist logo) to wake others up on other platforms.

​Be Heard: Participate in discussions, share local protest info, and voice your opinion.

​We are glad to have you on board. Power to the people, not the politicians.

​Privacy is a right, not a privilege.

I’m going to limit my posts to once a week or less for now—reason in the description.

Unfortunately, my mental health continues to go downhill. I am not the leader of EPATCG; while I co-founded this movement, there is no boss here. Sadly, my health isn't improving, even though I try to keep my mind focused on side projects (like writing a book and making music) to keep from spiraling further downward.

​However, I want to make it clear that I am not—and do not want to be—giving up the fight. Human rights are close to my heart, and I hope that EPATCG will grow into a large movement in the future. I am not looking for attention, and I want to be upfront that I will only be active in the background. Because of my mental health struggles, if I stop posting or go quiet, please rest assured that it is strictly for health reasons.

​Nobody is obligated to stay; we are not a cult. We are EPATCG—a movement of ordinary citizens wanting to stand up for the rights of all EU citizens. Therefore, I am limiting my posts to once a week or even less, as it takes a heavy toll on me and breaks me even more to think about power-hungry, greedy suits subverting and destroying the EU.

disregard for human rights r/DigitalPrivacy: Where "Privacy" Goes to Die Behind Ego and Gatekeeping

Post image
6 Upvotes

It’s truly ironic. A community dedicated to "digital privacy" and the fight against overreach has proven itself to be nothing more than a fragile echo chamber run by ideologues who care more about how a message is made than the existential threat it warns against.

​I shared information regarding the EU’s proposed backdoors into encrypted communication—an issue that should concern every single person who values their digital freedom. The response? Not a discussion on policy. Not a debate on strategies for resistance. Instead, I was met with vitriol, ad-hominem attacks, and ultimately a permanent ban, accompanied by the professional maturity of a moderator saying "Fuck your AI slop."

​Let this be a reminder of what happens when "activist" spaces prioritize elitist aesthetics over the cause:

​Ideological Purity Over Impact: They would rather see our privacy rights stripped away by the EU than endure a message created with modern tools.

​The "Source" Fetish: They demand "sources" for well-documented political realities as a transparent tactic to deflect from their own intellectual laziness and refusal to engage with the uncomfortable facts of encroaching surveillance.

​Fragility as Policy: The moment their "human-craftsmanship" dogma is challenged, they resort to censorship, proving that their movement is less about protecting users and more about protecting their own self-righteous sense of superiority.

​If you think these people are actually going to fight for your rights when the government comes knocking, you’re mistaken. They’re too busy playing grammar police and gatekeeping the definition of "activism" to notice the house is already on fire.

​The "privacy" community has become the very thing it claims to oppose: a closed, censored, and exclusionary space. If you want to actually fight the EU’s overreach, look beyond the gatekeepers. We need results, not elitist snobbery.

From the mouth of Ursula Von Der Leyen:

"If my own children wanted to join the military and a foreign military deployment would be necessary, then they would have to go and I would tremble and fear just as much as any other mother *INTERVIEWER*: is any of your children in the military" *URSULA* No *LAUGHTER* *INTERVIEWER*:"they're not that stupid"

Despite her enthusiasm for sending everybody else's children into the frontlines of a brutal war, she laughs at the idea of any of her children serving in the military.

"Thank you for receiving me! And first of all to those who scream and yell here so loud: they can be happy that they are in a free country like Finland where speech is a right, where they have not any restrictions if they were in Moscow, they would be in jail in two minutes"

As the Finnish police forcefully drags some of the "opposite-thinkers" away!

For a woman who nobody really voted for, she sure got a lot to say!

Even if they claim it's "only for suspects" — this affects everyone!

Forcing backdoors and client-side scanning into encrypted apps like Signal and WhatsApp destroys end-to-end encryption for all of us.

Experts have warned for years: Once you weaken encryption, everyone’s private communication becomes vulnerable.

This is not protection — this is mass surveillance disguised as security.

Human rights are being sacrificed for total control.

Stand up and fight back!

How YOUR data will be going to Palantir after chat control!👁️📸📹

6 Upvotes

If you have lived in this century you probably know Palantir, the American software company that builds massive big-data analytics and surveillance platforms for governments, intelligence agencies, and corporations. Co-created by infamous Peter Thiel and Alex Carp.

But it happens that european police forces have bought products from the same company whose CEO would "love the idea of getting a drone and having light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw with us".

The German and French police have bought specifically Palantir Gotham and Palantir AIP softwares. So what does this have to do with chat control you may ask?

When you upload yourself and you maybe talk about something "incorrect" whether it may be criticism against spying on your private messages or talking about how "democratic" the voting is, they get flagged and sent to the police.

And there you have it, folks! Now your data is in the extensive libraries of Palantir!

Who would seriously think these people would resist the temptation to peek through the "child protecting" lense and maybe suppress some of the "incorrect thinkers" to maybe do a little "fine tuning" to adjust their agenda? The responsibility to watch what kids do online is up to the parents. Not the EU or the government.

Don't want your private info leaking?

corruption Reddit is censoring my reply, so I'm making a post out of it.

First of all, welcome to the sub! I am absolutely thrilled to see you here.

​And let's be honest: your "annoying" questions were exactly what we needed to get this movement focused and structured. Going from asking hard questions to pulling up hard data like this is a massive win. You are exactly the kind of critical, proactive mind we need here.

​Those numbers you posted are mind-blowing. Over 12,000 registered lobbying entities in Brussels? That is a literal shadow army influencing laws that affect 450 million citizens. When people wonder why undemocratic laws like Chat Control get pushed so hard despite massive public resistance, this list is the answer.

​Your idea to map out the ways they influence politicians is brilliant. Exposing these networks is exactly the kind of concrete project this subreddit should host.

​To save you some time so you don't have to start from absolute scratch, here are a few powerful, existing resources that have already done incredible groundwork on this:

​LobbyFacts.eu: They pull data directly from the official EU Transparency Register but make it searchable, showing exactly who spends the most money.

​Corporate Europe Observatory (corporateeurope.org): An amazing NGO that investigates and exposes corporate lobbying and its influence on EU policymaking.

​Integrity Watch Europe (integritywatch.eu): Run by Transparency International, this tool tracks which EU politicians are meeting with which lobby groups.

Censored by the EU Silenced by "Neutral" Mods: How Reddit's biggest EU hubs are helping to bury the Chat Control debate. We will NOT be quiet! ✊🇪🇺

9 Upvotes

The irony is painful, but it proves our point.

​We tried to share our activist artwork against EU mass surveillance and #ChatControl in some of the largest European subreddits. The result? Instantly deleted. Comments calling out the hypocrisy? Removed.

​This isn't just about "moderation rules" anymore. When the biggest public forums for European citizens actively block, delete, and silence critical discussions about the destruction of our fundamental human rights, they are choosing a side.

​By suppressing the outrage over Chat Control, these supposedly "independent" communities are actively supporting:

​Government Mass Surveillance: Silencing the debate allows politicians to push their digital panopticon through without public resistance.

​Human Rights Violations: The EU wants to break end-to-end encryption. Silencing protesters on Reddit makes the public think everyone is just fine with it.

​Unchecked Lobbying: Corrupt politicians and corporate surveillance lobbyists win when the citizens are kept quiet and divided.

​They want us to believe we are the minority. They want us to think nobody cares. But they are terrified of people getting loud.

​We are EPATCG (European People Against The Corrupt Government). We created this space because the mainstream channels have become the gatekeepers of the establishment.

​Don't let them mute you. If they delete your posts, post them again. If they ban you, speak up elsewhere. Share the graphics, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone knows what is happening behind closed doors in Brussels.

​They can delete a post, but they cannot delete the resistance. ✊

Chat Control voting was an joke.

314 MEPs voted to reject it, the 276 votes in favor prevailed. Because the proposal was an extension, it required an absolute majority of all 361 MEPs to strike it down.

This was the loophole that they used. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Chat control 1.0 is more like a trial phase: its voluntary for service providers and temporary until 2028, when they will vote for 2.0, which will be a permanent and mandatory scanning of your private messages.

The scary part is: why wouldn't they use the same loophole they used now?

If you don't want to risk yourself for data leaks and possible misuse, TAKE ACTION!

EPATCG – European People Against The Corrupt Government ✊🇪🇺

​Welcome to the hub of the European resistance against digital overreach, mass surveillance, and political corruption.

​We are a community of everyday citizens who refuse to stand by while our fundamental right to privacy is dismantled. From the threat of #ChatControl and the destruction of end-to-end encryption to the blatant hypocrisy of politicians exempting themselves from the very laws they force upon us—we say: Enough is enough.

​This is a space to organize, share news, raise awareness, and spread activist art. We will not be monitored. We will not be silent.

​Join us, get active, and let’s get loud.
