GOTTHARD TUNNEL OPENING CEREMONY
1/ This will try & get to the bottom in what in the unholy fuck the background to this ceremony was & who was behind it
Mistake many people make: this wasn’t the CERN opening
This was for a railway tunnel
Interesting term of measurement eh?
2/ In case you missed that
They described the amount of rock removed as “5 Giza Pyramids” worth
That’s an odd, coincidental choice
Maybe I’d ignore it if it didn’t have the satanic opening, but here we are...
3/ Angela Merkel, Matteo Renzi & others were there
For those of you not too familiar with geography or politics
They’re not Swiss & this tunnel has nothing to do with any country other than Switzerland
“Hey, we built a tunnel!”
“Fuckin’ great for you” should be the response
4/ Merkel needs no introduction, but Matteo should be recognized as a corrupt fuck
who was one of the dominoes that fell during that coincidental cascade of world leaders that stepped down
Hollande also didn’t seek re-election but he was the most unpopular President since 1958
5/ Christian Kern at least had a tie to European railways
He also put someone who hated Israel in charge of Jewish affairs
but he too strangely stepped down from his party, then from politics entirely in 2018
Other than Merkel, all the others mentioned were gone within 2 years
6/ But this is about the Ceremony
I’m not gonna recommend watching it
I’ve watched highlights, & it’s the stuff of nightmares
Some people have suggested they were trying opening a portal
I don’t know about that
But they’re fucked the fuck up
7/ Ahh now we get some names:
“Orchestrated by German director Volker Hesse...”
Oh look, born in Germany in a certain time
He wrote his dissertation on Berhnard Diebold, who is the subject of the last screengrab: a Notsee Apologist & Fanboi
8/ So The Director of the Swiss monstrosity is a German who studied Notsee apologists
Strong start... but are we surprised
Also: just wtf is this
9/ The railway is owned by SBB
Which stands for Swiss Federal Railway of course
(I’m joking,
it stands for the worst scrabble hand on earth)
10/ Truth be told, there are at best quizzical fluff pieces on this event so I’m also leaving this open-ended for the in case other threads tie into this
Either way, if anyone tries to tell you this was just an avante garde celebration of Switzerland,
you can kill that noise
