I went to Switzerland to hunt for bunkers, something I’ve been planning and dreaming about for years. The result wasn’t just a wild trip through the mountains. It was an uncovering of something much deeper: the story of this peculiar country and the cost and benefits of choosing neutrality.

  1. first and foremost.. if you think switzerland is truly neutral you are naive. they always were for the nazis and one world order

  2. Alternate title: Johnny Harris Exposes Swiss State Secrets, lol. For real, though, great video. Endlessly fascinating. I love how these people all know how to use these guns, too. They didn’t just inherit them. They’re prepared.

  3. One thing about the Swiss they are Excellent Cave Tunnel Makers Amazing the Speed they can do it in

  4. I’ve never understood Swiss neutrality – often the moral thing to do is to get off that fence and take a side in order to fight evil.

  5. The United States of America has many of them. Literal underground cities. Complete with shopping malls, gyms, schools, restaurant's, and many other things. Sadly no matter what part of the planet you're on. If you aren't extremely rich. You will be left outside to die. Only the elite will be allowed inside when it's needed.

  6. I just left Switzerland after 15 years living there. I have to say I was quite surprised to hear the Swiss had agreed to put sanctions on Russia; I guess this may signal a change in Swiss mentality regarding their international relations. Switzerland is a truly amazing country, I sincerely hope they will not dilute or discard the values of neutrality and independence that made their country so unique, so respected and such an amazing place to live.

  7. Neutrality. Otherwise known as spineless little gold goblins who only care about themselves

  8. I don't understand how a country like Switzerland can just "declare" themselves neutral when they are surrounded by warring countries. I'm sure Ukraine would loved to have remained "neutral" too, but Russia had other plans when it invaded. I tend to think there is more to it than that. Like the fact that they may process and hold vast amounts of wealth from many countries. And any country choosing to declare war with them would likely have all of their (and their citizen's) assess frozen and not returned. Thus, any attempted invasion would be prohibitively costly. That's my guess. I still don't know how and where Switzerland gets all its wealth. I read about their big worldwide banks, skilled craftsmen, their pharmaceutical industry, yadda yadda. But that still doesn't account for it. I would guess they're probably pilfering investors money in all those banks without their knowledge. And if there was ever an actual run on the back, people with Swiss bank accounts would be lucky to withdraw anything.

  9. The barn with the cannon was a big surprise to me. Considering the context idk why it still blows me away but, I just could not have expected that. 9:42

  10. I’m just going to say the thing I know we’re all thinking: I want to buy one of these bunkers and turn it into the Batcave.

  11. But still we have to accept tje narative that Russia invaded Ukraine but Ukraine didn't invaded it's own people beffore that?

  12. so if nuclear war happened today, the survivors would be essentially living underground in a Wes Anderson movie set.

  13. As you join the WAR MACHINE, watch your society decay! Watch the morals and family values disappear. Peace is the only way to go! The world should not have nuclear weapons

  14. Switz; the true descendant of the dwarfs
    Jokes aside; am surprised they manage to do that with the technology of the past, within x years and most of them remain functional even today.

  15. Probably because the world economic Forum is there and they're trafficking innocent people

  16. Bunkers won't save you but Jesus will. Don't get left behind.
    ‘I Wish We’d All Been Ready’

    Life was filled with guns and war

    And everyone got trampled on the floor

    I wish we'd all been ready

    Children died, the days grew cold

    A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

    I wish we'd all been ready

    There's no time to change your mind

    The Son has come and you've been left behind

    A man and wife asleep in bed

    She hears a noise and turns her head

    He's gone

    I wish we'd all been ready

    Two men walking up a hill

    One disappears and one's left standing still

    I wish we'd all been ready

    There's no time to change your mind

    The Son has come and you've been left behind.

    Larry Norman 1970

  17. Thank you for this video! I new that there were a lot of bunkers around here in Switzerland but I didn't know the strategy behind it and that they're in plane sight but still hidden by camouflage.

  18. Probably more bunkers here, they keep forgetting about theyr existence once the papers dissapear. There are also some with tanks, which belong to like nobody xD true storry from a Soldier(me)
