Mark Rutte is the linchpin in the largest collateral fraud and associated megalomaniac transition ever (read my book Worst Bank Scenario). As Dutch State Secretary for Social Affairs, he launched the variable actuarial interest rate for pension funds (FTK) in 2004. It was introduced in 2007. The pension transition is part of the Worst Bank Scenario and since 2008 pension funds have been (mis)used in the Netherlands to provide banks with EUR 200 billion guarantees so that state aid was not necessary. Former president of Central Bank Klaas Knot worked at Ministry of Finance between 2009 and 2011 to facilitate this fraud. His successor Olaf Sleijpen switched to ABP and APG for a number of years to carry out the collateral operation. The ECB's purchase program is part of this collateral fraud, so it is no coincidence that Klaas Knot is now being named as Lagarde's new successor. In 2008, the EU and the US concluded the Transatlantic Plan with regard to climate, energy, pandemic control, Ukraine, independent Palestinian state, etc., and the Netherlands sent Shell's CEO (Jeroen van de Veer) to the NATO expert group to draw up NATO's new Strategic Concept. Under Article 122 TFEU, changed in 2009 (Lisbon Treaty), the European Council can adopt emergency measures by qualified majority voting, meaning member states cannot block decisions with a veto. This Treaty explicitly introduced the principle of energy solidarity and expanded EU competences in both energy and climate policy. By embedding solidarity in these areas, the treaties created a basis for collective action at EU level, especially in times of crisis. This has made it easier to justify the use of instruments like Article 122 to impose coordinated measures on member states, even where national interests in energy mix or climate policy would normally lead to vetoes. Originally designed for genuine economic emergencies, this provision has increasingly been used to push through major policy decisions, including in energy, financial measures, and crisis responses, often in areas where unanimity would normally apply. This effectively creates a parallel decision-making track: - No unanimity required
- National vetoes neutralised
- Limited role for the European Parliament 
 In practice, this means the veto has already been sidelined, not abolished formally, but bypassed structurally. Supporters call Article 122 a necessary crisis tool. 
 Critics (like myself) argue it is a legal workaround to avoid political deadlock:
 - A shift of power away from member states
 - A weakening of democratic scrutiny
 It is used beyond its intended scope, turning “emergency powers” into a permanent governance method. NATO has also been given a role since 2010 with regard to climate, energy, etc. Defense (war) is used to create new EU debts to force member states into the European Debt Union.
