This is great. Was planning on publishing a piece on the Dragi report but I am not sure I can add amything better than this. The Parallel EU was hilarious stuff.
I suspect the fourth clique (4C) of falling out with the others around 1911 when the plans for the Federal Reserve and WWI were hatched. I think 4C was based primarily in Russia, with a contingent in the US - think about who Russia sided with, in the US Civil War. Hence the Russian Revolution was put into motion, to suppress 4C prior to the end of WWI. It took until the end of the Soviet Union for 4C to recover, and now it's mad.
The plan from the other cliques appears to have been to ransack Russia, in order to steal its resources to fund the EU tyranny as described. They built up Ukraine for this purpose and they honestly thought that Russia was too weak to do anything about it. When Russia did act, they were convinced that sanctions would have it on its knees in weeks. Except they were wrong, and there's no Plan B - never was. Plan A is coming undone and the only answer is magical thinking, the construct of which you've described.
The other tried and tested way out of a mess is war. Declare it, melt away, let the imbeciles kick seven shades of shit out of each other, come back, take over, rebuild and try again. Putin appears to know this, and much to their ire is keeping the escalations sensible. As in they're not getting away this time.
It's interesting that all these 'conspiracy theories' are becoming more mainstream and are increasingly being discussed as facts. There's a pretty good and entertaining interview here for those with some time to burn.
I would add that, as desperation grows in the West, they will be compelled to instigate a major war as both a diversion from their culpability in destroying the EU and also to serve as cover for their immediate imposition of a techno-tyranny. They tried to get Iran to take the bait and that didn't work, so now they want Ukraine to attack Moscow and force a direct confrontation with NATO. If this fails, they will unleash the invaders to wreak havoc on civilians and thereafter the sheeple will demand a savior tyrant. As demonstrated in Ukraine, they hope to use this subterfuge to kill off as many competent males as possible and ensure that none are left to implement the lamppost solution when all Hell breaks loose. Rocky road ahead.
Best case scenario. Putin's army keeps marching west past the Polish border and all the way to Brussels.
As a bookend to the Baldrick reference, I remember the scene from Blackadder Goes Forth, where Blackadder was explaining how the alliance system was supposed to prevent a war.
"The EU Central Bank is technically bankrupt [...] and the EU will no longer be able to service that debt. [...] This is a nightmare scenario for the EU. No more money, no more social-engineering, no more glorious social control."
I'm afraid, you are very wrong on that.
This is a wonderful scenario! "Unfortunately" they will have to do a currency reform (this goes great with compulsory mortgages and the like). The new currency is in CBDC only. Everything you do is now under centralized EU-control. You are now nothing more than a character in a video game with a certain credit score being played by greater powers.
I have repeatedly seen that, in police states, about 5% of people are informants of the police. 1-in-20. I suppose that's a good ratio to ensure there's always an ear somewhere. However, what if we were to expand this ratio out? So you have "the people", and 5% of them are the first layer of "the conspiracy"? Then, 5% of the informants (first layer) will be the case officers (the actual policemen), with 0.25% of people being the policemen, 1-in-400. But the policemen (second layer) have their bosses, with one boss assigned to 8000 people. Third layer - boss of secret police. Fourth layer is over 160,000 people, fifth layer over 3.2 million people. There are nations smaller than that. :) But continue. Sixth layer is over 64 million people. That's France, UK, Germany... The seventh layer is - this is interesting - 1.28 billion people. Can we go on? No. The eight layer would be 25.6 billion and there aren't that many people.
So, let's assume all the world is run by layered conspiracies. A person in each layer controls 20 people on the layer below. The maximum layers that will fit in the Universe at this moment is 7, and the world can fit 6.25 (so, 6 or maybe 7) such conspiracies, with each conspiracy ruling over 1 to 1.5 billion people. This implies the entire West is under one such conspiracy, because there isn't room for two. I **PRESUME** that, if such a conspiracy exists, it's head is the King of England since there is a whilrwind of stories and rumors about the occult in England, since the 19th century, and any 7-layer-conspiracy that might be ruling over the West definitively seems to be very much in the occult. Think Freemasons, which are nothing but practicioners of a secret religion. There were many such religions and cults throughtout the ages and places so the notion shouldn't be controversial. So, based on the similarity, I'd presume the conspiracy to be headed by UK royalty. It would be interesting to try and indentify the remaining 5 conspiracies, should the world really run like this. China and India can both hold one, and China can be assumed to hold one for sure. We need three to four more. :)

I'll guess the "hydrogen economy" is a reasonably big part of it. Probably 40%. I'm not joking, BTW. The "hydrogen economy" has been popping up in various EU strategic documents since February 2022, and earlier.
What’s interesting is that the 4th clique consists of both industrial and financial capitalists who have typically been at odds in the past. This election is the first time Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and industrialists are aligning behind the forces of populism.
The real enemy of a functional society are the unearned rent seeking class, partnered with the bureaucratic/managerial class who are abusing money printing powers to buy votes from the underclasses and stay in power.
The Musk, Trump, Jerome Powell fourth faction are quintessentially defectors from the elite which political science says is essential for change. Maybe, just maybe reform is possible - an about face, just in the nick of time - but I doubt it.
More likely “The Fantasia” is taking us to our destination.

“ more than ever I am convinced that history has meaning and that meaning is terrifying”.
Societal collapse, always resolves itself into war. Leastwise that’s what history suggests.

Thank you. I was just looking at your substack. There's interesting stuff there.
Thanks. Same to you!
WOW! Excellent analysis!
Thank you. I'm familiar with your own excellent work.

There's certainly some circumstantial evidence to back up your theory.

Although I personally do not believe in such grand theories, it brings to mind what has been said about the Ukraine war.
"Q: What's the difference between Russian propaganda and the truth?
A: Six months."
The theory is too grand. Too large, spans too long a time frame.

“There was just one -tiny- flaw in the plan.”
“What was that sir?”
“It was -bollocks-.”
WOW! Excellent analysis! And hilarious too!
In this parody you managed to make the EU’s Cunning Plan understandable to me in a somewhat funny ligthearted way. Thank you!

🤣🤣🤣 Excellent work, Mr. Baltar - most enjoyable and imaginatively done.
You deconstruct the West's midwit maniacs superbly as they reduce and render complex adult problems to Schrodinger's Twat and Quantum Bollocks.

I like your way of thinking but there's no reason to limit conspiracies to certain states or nations. Rather, they should intersect.

Brilliant, clear, and funny. Amazing.
Sheer genius - thank you for this!
Clever and fun and of course infuriating.
