Do They Know Something We Don’t?

Awhile back some dude stated that in 5 years or so that there would be a war in Europe…..I know many people have been predicting such a situation for many years now but so far they have been just fanciful predictions….

I read today that the nation of Switzerland is modernizing….

Switzerland, long known for its neutrality in global conflicts, is making a major investment in its famous network of bunkers. The country is set to spend more than $1 billion over 15 years to overhaul and modernize public and private shelters, a move driven by security concerns and the war in Ukraine. Starting next year, 200 large bunkers will be upgraded, and fees paid by property developers to fund shelters will rise, the Washington Post reports. Regional governments are also updating aging ventilation and filtration systems, with $1.2 billion earmarked for the work.

Switzerland’s commitment to civil defense is rooted in its history, with a network of roughly 370,000 shelters—enough to secretly assign a spot to nearly every resident. In fact, Switzerland has more bunkers per capita than any other nation, per the Guardian. The shelters, often tucked away in apartment buildings, are designed to withstand nuclear, biological, or chemical attacks. They include reinforced concrete, blast doors, and basic amenities, with requirements like one dry toilet for every 30 people. The country has begun planning for so-called “poly-crisis” scenarios, in which multiple threats hit at once.

Officials also are studying how to keep important services, like schools and businesses, running during emergencies, per the Post. “The economy still has to work during war. That’s what you see in all conflicts nowadays,” said Daniel Jordi, a Swiss civil defense official. He acknowledged the size of the government’s investment. “It’s a huge infrastructure,” he said, “but in the end it’s cheaper than any other measures you could take to protect your population.”

So what do they know that Donny and his band of idiots do not?

The way the US has been stirring the pot of war that has been simmering for decades you would think that civil defense might come up…..so has it?

We cannot depend on FEMA so where do we look for help when the unthinkable happens?

I say no for they are too busy selling their weapons around the world to care about us peons.

Deathmetalbaby

This is my last post before I set off on my weekend activities…..so let’s end this week on a “creepy” note……

Have you seen that advert for a power drink where they use the term “puppymoneybaby”?

To say that it is an irritating thing is an understatement…but I found something more creepy than the “puppymonkeybaby”……it is “Deathmetalbaby”!

Flying baby: The Swiss have put on one of the most bizarre opening ceremonies in history to mark the completion of the world's longest tunnel

This is part of the celebration in Switzerland for the opening of the world’s deepest tunnel…….check out other parts of the celebration…….

I am having a hard time adjusting to the strange and sometimes creepy celebration……whatever the organizers were smoking must be illegal….

You tell me…..

Everyone please have a great weekend and don’t do anything I wouldn’t…..

Here Is An Environmental Idea

Switzerland’s political system, like that of California and several other states and nations, allows for individuals to propose legislation upon the gathering of enough signatures to support the bill. One such proposition by the youth section of the Swiss Green Party would ban all vehicles weighing over 2.2 metric tons (4,820lbs) or emitting more than 250g/km of CO2, among other restrictions. The law would effectively eliminate the vast majority of the SUV and sports car market overnight.

Other elements of the bill that would make it among the toughest in the world if enacted include a speed limit of 100km/h (62mph) on cars ‘grandfathered’ in by being registered before the law goes into effect, a complete ban on diesel-powered cars without particulate filters and cars with front fascias deemed dangerous to pedestrians, reports the Swiss site Asphalte.

Examples of the cars that would be affected by the proposed law include the complete ban from sale of all but the Boxster and Cayman 2.7 (pictured) from Porsche’s lineup, all of the high-performance arms of the German carmakers, as well as most Italian cars such as Ferrari and Lamborghini and the majority of American muscle cars and SUVs. Essentially the only cars that would be allowed for sale would be highly efficient six-cylinders and four-cylinder cars, with very few high-performance or opulent and large vehicles remaining
