1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,613 2 00:00:00,613 --> 00:00:08,786 In the Swiss cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden and Glarus, the voting population gathers once a year for the “Landsgemeinde.” 3 00:00:08,786 --> 00:00:16,195 In keeping with a long-standing Swiss tradition, they then vote on laws outdoors by a show of hands. 4 00:00:16,195 --> 00:00:27,023 Following this example, a symbolic Swiss Landsgemeinde was held for the second time on May 23, 2026, on Bundesplatz in Bern. 5 00:00:27,023 --> 00:00:35,186 Just outside Bern, between 500 and 700 participants gathered to vote on matters such as constitutional amendments, legislative 6 00:00:35,186 --> 00:00:40,331 proposals, and loans, as is customary at “Landsgemeinden.” 7 00:00:40,331 --> 00:00:43,664 Among other things, the following matters were discussed: 8 00:00:43,664 --> 00:00:46,104 “Switzerland’s Neutrality” (pursuant to Art. 173/185 of the Federal Constitution) 9 00:00:46,104 --> 00:00:49,059 “Vaccination Policies at the Federal and Cantonal Levels” (pursuant to Art. 10 of the Federal Constitution) 10 00:00:49,059 --> 00:00:53,459 “Framework Agreements vs. Bilateral Agreements III” (pursuant to Art. 2 of the Federal Constitution) 11 00:00:53,459 --> 00:01:00,088 The results of the non-binding votes were sent by certified mail to the Federal President, the two Presidents of 12 00:01:00,088 --> 00:01:07,315 the National Council and the Council of States, and the Federal Chancellor for their information. 13 00:01:07,315 --> 00:01:12,228 The organizers cite Article 6 of the Swiss Federal Constitution: 14 00:01:12,228 --> 00:01:18,765 It states that every person must take responsibility for themselves and do their utmost to contribute to 15 00:01:18,765 --> 00:01:23,832 the fulfillment of the tasks of the state and society. 16 00:01:23,832 --> 00:01:29,030 They want to make the public aware that politicians often disregard the will of the 17 00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:33,142 people and make decisions on their own authority. 18 00:01:33,142 --> 00:01:41,330 However, Switzerland should remain independent and not submit to organizations such as the EU, NATO, and the WHO. 19 00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:48,069 Ultimately, they are working toward a one-world government without nation-states. 20 00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:53,832 The five speakers at this year's Landsgemeinde also advocated for these goals: 21 00:01:53,832 --> 00:02:00,544 Christoph Pfluger, founder of the neutrality movement “bene.swiss”; Andrea Staubli, an attorney 22 00:02:00,544 --> 00:02:08,640 with the “Aktionsbündnis Freie Schweiz” (ABF Switzerland); and three other Swiss politicians. 23 00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:13,704 Christoph Pfluger, one of the co-initiators of the Movement for Neutrality, spoke out in support 24 00:02:13,704 --> 00:02:17,161 of the Neutrality Initiative during his speech. 25 00:02:17,161 --> 00:02:23,295 Swiss neutrality is being increasingly eroded, and Switzerland is gradually being integrated into the military 26 00:02:23,295 --> 00:02:27,946 structures of NATO and the EU through a creeping process. 27 00:02:27,946 --> 00:02:36,544 To preserve neutrality, it must therefore be enshrined in the Constitution, as called for in the initiative. 28 00:02:36,544 --> 00:02:44,305 Attention, Swiss voters: If you want Switzerland to remain sovereign and neutral, vote YES 29 00:02:44,305 --> 00:02:49,678 on the Neutrality Initiative on September 27. 30 00:02:49,678 --> 00:02:55,926 Take advantage of this opportunity for “direct democracy,” which could also serve as a model—and indeed send a 31 00:02:55,926 --> 00:03:03,089 strong signal—to other European countries, in order to break free from international interference. 32 00:03:03,089 --> 00:03:09,477 Now listen to some excerpts from the speeches by Christoph Pfluger and Andrea Staubli, which may also 33 00:03:09,477 --> 00:03:14,272 be of great interest to citizens of other countries: 34 00:03:14,272 --> 00:03:21,937 Switzerland is currently undergoing a transformation—and it is happening through military means. 35 00:03:21,937 --> 00:03:34,351 If we integrate militarily into the EU now, then later on we’ll hardly need to vote on these treaties with the EU at all. 36 00:03:34,351 --> 00:03:40,393 So neutrality is a very important issue. 37 00:03:40,393 --> 00:03:47,093 As you've all noticed, neutrality is being gradually eroded—and not just since the war in 38 00:03:47,093 --> 00:03:53,263 Ukraine, when it became obvious to everyone. 39 00:03:53,263 --> 00:04:07,945 Since 1992, the DDPS —or, on its behalf, ETH Zurich—has been conducting surveys to gauge our willingness to join NATO. 40 00:04:07,945 --> 00:04:12,824 This is an issue that has been on the agenda for over 30 years. 41 00:04:12,824 --> 00:04:20,709 And now I hope everyone has noticed, even though most of these changes happened gradually—in a bureaucratic, 42 00:04:20,709 --> 00:04:25,330 technocratic way—without the vast majority realizing it. 43 00:04:25,330 --> 00:04:33,529 But there's a lot at stake, and the problem is that there isn't an honest debate taking place. 44 00:04:33,529 --> 00:04:40,241 This isn't about joining NATO; it's about vague notions of security that we 45 00:04:40,241 --> 00:04:47,039 supposedly can only achieve through NATO or the EU. 46 00:04:47,039 --> 00:04:55,525 We are gradually being integrated into the military structures of NATO and the EU. 47 00:04:57,157 --> 00:05:07,341 About a month and a half ago, Ursula von der Leyen said in an internal speech to EU ambassadors that defense 48 00:05:07,341 --> 00:05:13,006 and security are the new guiding principles of the EU. 49 00:05:13,006 --> 00:05:17,540 The EU is fully focused on war. 50 00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:28,289 And a few days later, our foreign minister issued a joint statement with the EU foreign minister, Kaja Kallas. 51 00:05:28,289 --> 00:05:36,095 This integration into military alliances is referred to as cooperation. 52 00:05:36,095 --> 00:05:44,664 But cooperation between a small state and a large state is not true cooperation. 53 00:05:44,664 --> 00:05:49,864 That is conformity, and ultimately, it is submission. 54 00:05:55,364 --> 00:05:58,799 And the military blocs aren't here for peace. 55 00:05:58,799 --> 00:06:04,686 They're doing nothing for peace; they're doing everything for war, and Switzerland is expected to 56 00:06:04,686 --> 00:06:10,258 get more and more involved in this step by step. 57 00:06:10,258 --> 00:06:11,995 What does neutrality mean? 58 00:06:11,995 --> 00:06:18,732 Neutrality means that Switzerland does not align itself with these power blocs. 59 00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:32,716 We have been neutral for 175 years. We have lived in peace for 175 years. 60 00:06:32,716 --> 00:06:41,142 For 175 years, neutrality and peace have been the foundation—it must be said—of our prosperity as well. 61 00:06:41,142 --> 00:06:44,470 And now all that is at stake. 62 00:06:44,470 --> 00:06:50,434 For 175 years, we have been mediators, not a party to the conflict. 63 00:06:50,434 --> 00:06:58,896 And the biggest, most decisive, and most important advantage—or the special characteristic—of neutrality is: 64 00:06:58,896 --> 00:07:04,717 When we make our own decisions, we are free and independent. 65 00:07:04,717 --> 00:07:12,868 When decisions are made in Brussels, Washington, or wherever the centers of power are located, we are giving up 66 00:07:12,868 --> 00:07:17,977 our sovereignty, and direct democracy goes out the window. 67 00:07:17,977 --> 00:07:26,386 But war is not fought only with weapons; it is also fought with information, with fear, and with psychological pressure. 68 00:07:26,386 --> 00:07:35,077 And there is an interesting document from the Department of Defense titled “Background Paper on the Information Space.” 69 00:07:35,077 --> 00:07:44,275 It's about 60 pages long, is full of NATO terminology, and describes how cognitive warfare is waged. 70 00:07:44,275 --> 00:07:53,352 – Not against the outside world, but against ourselves, against the people, against the citizens, against the sovereign. 71 00:07:53,352 --> 00:08:01,172 And this document—I have to show it to you—has 25 pages with blacked-out sections. 72 00:08:05,431 --> 00:08:15,676 It lists the measures, the cooperative structures, the new positions—everything needed to control public opinion 73 00:08:15,676 --> 00:08:25,508 in Switzerland and to silence those who advocate for peace and neutrality—and who therefore pose a threat. 74 00:08:25,508 --> 00:08:30,594 And this strategy was hatched right here in this building (the Federal Palace, Switzerland). 75 00:08:33,490 --> 00:08:38,240 It's a war against ourselves. 76 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,823 That is why it is important that, when we vote on the Neutrality Initiative in September or 77 00:08:44,823 --> 00:08:49,129 November, we do everything in our power to support it. 78 00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:53,961 The point is to enshrine perpetual armed neutrality in the Constitution. 79 00:08:53,961 --> 00:09:02,448 That's not what it is now. That's why it's being modernized, updated, softened, etc. 80 00:09:02,448 --> 00:09:06,289 The initiative calls for: No accession to the military alliance. 81 00:09:06,289 --> 00:09:13,109 It also prohibits participation in economic warfare, that is, sanctions. 82 00:09:13,109 --> 00:09:19,375 Sanctions only benefit authoritarian regimes. 83 00:09:19,375 --> 00:09:26,752 They harm us and lead to more deaths. 84 00:09:26,752 --> 00:09:33,817 There was a pretty good study on the wars currently being fought. 85 00:09:33,817 --> 00:09:37,686 Peace is not a matter of chance. Peace requires credibility. 86 00:09:37,686 --> 00:09:40,450 We need a solid foundation in the Constitution. 87 00:09:40,450 --> 00:09:44,589 We need neutrality with backbone. 88 00:09:44,589 --> 00:09:49,401 Andrea Staubli, an attorney with the “Aktionsbündnis freie Schweiz” (Alliance for a Free Switzerland), 89 00:09:49,401 --> 00:09:54,333 advocates for the Swiss people’s right to self-determination in the area of healthcare. 90 00:09:54,333 --> 00:09:59,875 She points out that the Epidemic Act is set to be significantly tightened at the federal level. 91 00:09:59,875 --> 00:10:07,450 This also applies to the continued approval of gene therapies, including modRNA vaccination . 92 00:10:07,450 --> 00:10:12,502 It was approved during the COVID-19 pandemic without meeting scientific standards 93 00:10:12,502 --> 00:10:16,491 and—as we now know—led to serious side effects. 94 00:10:16,491 --> 00:10:23,470 Staubli is calling for the abolition of all mandatory vaccination requirements at the federal and cantonal levels. 95 00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:32,911 Policymakers must immediately impose a moratorium on mRNA-based vaccines and enforce it without compromise. 96 00:10:32,911 --> 00:10:37,704 Below are some excerpts from her speech: 97 00:10:37,704 --> 00:10:48,413 We still remember exactly when the Director-General of the WHO declared a fake—that is, a public health 98 00:10:48,413 --> 00:10:55,295 emergency—of international concern on January 30, 2020. 99 00:10:55,295 --> 00:11:07,313 On February 28, 2020, the Federal Council obediently declared a “special situation” under the Epidemics Act, and on 100 00:11:07,313 --> 00:11:14,182 March 16, it even declared an “extraordinary situation.” 101 00:11:14,182 --> 00:11:20,554 And without further ado, he put us on lockdown. 102 00:11:20,554 --> 00:11:25,976 That doesn't have much to do with confidence anymore. 103 00:11:25,976 --> 00:11:38,223 That’s exactly how our Federal Councilors Sommaruga and Cassis explained it to us: “That’s what the WHO requires.” 104 00:11:38,223 --> 00:11:45,080 The Federal Council, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), and several cantons are currently in the 105 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:51,681 process of fundamentally restructuring health policy in accordance with international guidelines. 106 00:11:51,681 --> 00:11:56,019 At the federal level, the Epidemic Act is being significantly tightened. 107 00:11:56,019 --> 00:12:03,761 For example, with regard to the “extraordinary situation” we experienced in the spring of 2020. 108 00:12:03,761 --> 00:12:18,371 The Medicines Act discusses so-called “advanced therapy medicinal products,” abbreviated as ATMP—make a note of this term. 109 00:12:18,371 --> 00:12:27,582 These include, for example, gene therapies, including mRNA vaccines—which should more accurately be called 110 00:12:27,582 --> 00:12:33,718 “modRNA” and are not vaccines in the conventional sense at all. 111 00:12:33,718 --> 00:12:41,162 According to the Paul Ehrlich Institute, this is a genetic vaccine. 112 00:12:41,162 --> 00:12:46,388 You may recall the outcry earlier this year in the canton of St. Gallen. 113 00:12:46,388 --> 00:12:53,586 The government is planning a comprehensive revision of the cantonal health law and intends to introduce 114 00:12:53,586 --> 00:13:01,166 a mandatory vaccination requirement, with fines of up to 20,000 francs for violations. 115 00:13:04,219 --> 00:13:11,464 That's not what the people of St. Gallen want—and neither do many other people in Switzerland. 116 00:13:11,464 --> 00:13:18,404 Within a very short time, approximately 2,500 responses to the consultation were submitted. 117 00:13:18,404 --> 00:13:21,062 People took to the streets. 118 00:13:21,062 --> 00:13:31,037 In light of this, the responsible state councilor made remarks to SRF to the effect that: If they had known that, they would 119 00:13:31,037 --> 00:13:42,910 have handled the matter differently and would not have referred to the vaccination requirement as a “mandatory vaccination.” 120 00:13:42,910 --> 00:13:52,076 In the canton of Zurich, however, there was no such outcry during the comprehensive revision of the Health Act, even though 121 00:13:52,076 --> 00:14:01,996 Zurich has had a mandatory vaccination requirement in place since March 2020, with fines of up to 50,000 francs. 122 00:14:03,646 --> 00:14:11,144 It's funny, isn't it? Are the people of Zurich really so different from those in St. Gallen in this regard? 123 00:14:11,144 --> 00:14:19,108 We don't know that yet. But here's what we've found out: The Zurich Department of Health simply omitted 124 00:14:19,108 --> 00:14:28,543 the penalty provision—that is, the 50,000-franc fine—from the consultation documents. 125 00:14:28,543 --> 00:14:34,384 In other words, whoever drafted the consultation document certainly did not comment on this penal 126 00:14:34,384 --> 00:14:38,469 provision, since it wasn't even included in the materials. 127 00:14:38,469 --> 00:14:42,460 Does this provide a comprehensive and complete picture? 128 00:14:42,460 --> 00:14:48,031 Does the Department of Health now know what the political parties, the associations, and the public think 129 00:14:48,031 --> 00:14:51,556 about the penal provision and the amount of the fine? 130 00:14:51,556 --> 00:15:01,407 The state councilor in charge apparently believes that the public comment period does not need to be repeated for this reason. 131 00:15:01,407 --> 00:15:04,513 We don't think that's the way to go about it. 132 00:15:04,513 --> 00:15:13,530 I therefore propose that policymakers and lawmakers must at all times guarantee and respect our right to 133 00:15:13,530 --> 00:15:23,021 self-determination in matters of health, particularly with regard to vaccinations and mRNA injections. 134 00:15:23,021 --> 00:15:31,103 It follows, therefore, that all mandatory vaccination requirements at the federal and cantonal 135 00:15:31,103 --> 00:15:37,221 levels must be abolished or removed from the statutes. 136 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:56,639 And finally, that policymakers immediately impose a moratorium on mRNA-based vaccines and enforce it without compromise.
