So to you the EU is evil? Advances like ECHR have curtailed the ability of countries to act against the basic interests of their citizens (like a supranational Bill of Rights)... what sort of evil is that? Actions like directing money to deprived areas, when national government would not; supporting cultural projects; supporting major infrastructure projects. Encouraging nations to work together and increasing mobility of citizens, so far it's seemed to be a most beneficial project. What are your top 3 examples of 'how the EU is evil' (or more correctly, to paraphrase your last paragraph 'has evil people at the levers')?

The ECHR is unrelated to the EU, it is overseen by the Council of Europe which is something else.

The main example is a bureaucracy that is trying by every means conceivable to get more and more power over national governments. Every crisis in the Eurozone is exploited so that the EU has more and more to say about how governments need to behave and which rules they need to follow. And of course, the EU controls the currency, which makes it easier to deal with smaller governments.
