“ProtectEU”: A Bureaucratic Utopia of Total Safety
Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Surveillance
Presented by the Directorate for Harmonised Fear Management (DHFM)

⸻
Introduction: War Is Security, Fear Is Unity
In this pivotal year, as the lines between “hybrid warfare” and reality TV blur, the European Commission has graciously unveiled ProtectEU — a sweeping internal security doctrine to ensure you are never alone, never unobserved, and never not safe.
All freedoms will henceforth be protected through collective vigilance, biometric tracking, encrypted backdoors, and a mild algorithmic nudge when you wander from Party-approved narratives.
⸻
Chapter 1: A Cultural Shift Towards Permanent Preparedness
Old Way: Trust among people.
New Way: Trust in the centralized fusion of law enforcement, AI, and risk analytics.
To protect our democracy, we must:
• Embed security thinking into every policy, even ones that have nothing to do with security.
• Train every EU official to spot threats, draft legislation with surveillance potential, and drink their biometric lattes in full compliance with the NIS2 Directive.
⸻
Chapter 2: The Panopticon Upgraded — Interoperability for Peace
A single surveillance structure is no longer dystopian, it’s efficient.
• All EU databases — DNA, facial scans, financial records, travel itineraries, VPN logs — will now interoperate seamlessly.
• Law enforcement will gain access to encrypted communications through “lawful” and “balanced” means (trust us, we won’t abuse it, promise).
• AI tools and real-time decryption frameworks are being developed to enhance our understanding of you.
This will be done “with full respect for fundamental rights” — notably the right to be watched responsibly.
⸻
Chapter 3: Europol 2.0 – Now with Teeth
Previously: Europol supported investigations.
Now: Europol becomes the Empire’s Strike Team.
• Expanded mandate to cover sabotage, hybrid threats, and information manipulation (aka tweets).
• Direct involvement in cross-border police ops.
• Intelligence-sharing becomes not optional — it is the price of peace.
⸻
Chapter 4: Frontex – Fortress Europe Gets Lasers
External threats are now internal feelings of discomfort.
• Frontex’s army will triple.
• Armed with drones, Earth-observation satellites, biometric gates, and AI heat maps of threat vectors (translation: migrants and suspicious dissent).
• A digital “Multiple Identity Detector” will ensure no one accidentally has free movement or privacy.
⸻
Chapter 5: The Cyber Holy Grail – Safety from Your Own Router
The strategy warns us that “children, minorities, and democracy” are at constant risk… online. Hence:
• Quantum-safe encryption… for the State (you may still use Gmail).
• Post-Quantum Cryptography and EuroQCI to ensure elite communication is uncrackable while yours remains responsibly decryptable.
• Ransomware, misinformation, and meme threats will be neutralized through EU-certified content flows.
Everything will be “encrypted,” unless requested by the proper authorities. Then it won’t.
⸻
Chapter 6: Hybrid Threats and Digital Extremism – Think Safe
Disinformation is now defined as anything that weakens “societal cohesion.”
So:
• FIMI (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference) will be tracked and flagged.
• Platforms must auto-censor under DSA risk frameworks.
• “Very Large Online Platforms” (translation: anything you use) must respond to crisis narratives in real time.
Coming soon: an AI-generated truth benchmark.
⸻
Chapter 7: Weaponised Migration – The Border is Psychological
• Migration, once a humanitarian concern, is now a hybrid act of war.
• The Commission pledges to track, filter, and return those weaponized bodies.
• Asset freezes and sanctions will be applied to smugglers — and possibly their digital sympathizers.
⸻
Chapter 8: Follow the Money – Because You’re Probably a Launderer
• Parallel financial systems (read: crypto) are enabling crime. Therefore:
• EU-wide crypto tracking tools under development.
• Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) will be encouraged to share more, faster, deeper.
• AMLA will “crossmatch” your holdings against Europol’s lists — no hit? You’re fine. One hit? You’re… interesting.
All this in the name of fighting drug cartels and terror — definitely not financial freedom or non-compliance with inflation.
⸻
Closing Reflections: You Are Free… Inside the Framework
“ProtectEU” is a masterpiece in securitized federalism. With a seamless blend of:
• Digital identity,
• Quantum communication,
• Border militarization,
• Platform censorship,
• And cyber sovereignty,
…the EU is finally building its Safety State — equal parts benevolent shepherd and watchful eye.
Rest easy, citizen. You’re being kept safe from threats… including yourself.
