Exploring the Paranoid Country with 374,142 Bunkers to Hide Everyone (how is this possible?)

As you lift the curtain of this postcard paradise,

a very different reality hides in plain sight.

Bunkers everywhere, like everywhere in almost every house and every mountain,

but nowhere anyone can actually see.

This is the most prepared country for an apocalypse with more bunker space than

they have actual inhabitants.

But why?

And what are they preparing for?

Well, we're not quite sure.

>> I was not expecting us to walk into fully operational war room.

I mean, like, these vehicles all still function.

That tank back there still functions.

This is way crazier than I thought it was going to be.

And for that reason,

we'll be spending the next few days roadtpping across this beautiful country in search

of these bunkers and some of the private individuals

that own some of the most remarkable ones

that we know of.

On this journey, we'll get to open the gates of the largest privately owned

bunker in the world,

the largest known civilian one, and likely the most heavily armed privatelyowned bunker.

Welcome to the surprisingly most fortified country on Earth of Switzerland.

We have some GPS coordinates of an abandoned bunker

that apparently is up this dirt road.

Yeah, there there's a little bit of uncertainty on this trip.

We have a few bunkers that we have permission to enter that are used,

including the largest civilian-owned bunker in the world.

However, there's a few bunkers that we're doing just a bit rogue here.

Driving on dirt roads and we just have the coordinates to.

The permission levels to go to them is a bit bit questionable.

I'm not sure.

We have a friend who went up to a bunker

that he knew was abandoned

and he got into like a lot of trouble.

Wow, look at this gate.

Gates of Mordor.

Wa.

I think this is the bunker we're coming to.

Well, we are at maybe the most scenic bunker I've ever seen in my

life.

Oh, holy Wow.

I did not see that coming.

Looks like there's like a little tunnel.

>> This is the craziest looking abandoned bunker I've ever seen in my life.

>> Yes.

What do you want?

Switzerland's countryside is covered in these bunkers.

To make enough to protect the population from nuclear attacks,

there are over 360,000 bunkers across the country.

On top of that,

there are 10 to 20,000 bunkers just for military use,

bringing the total closer to 360 to 380,000 bunkers.

They come in all shapes and sizes,

some even disguised as mundane looking houses like this one

that we're about to see.

This might be a bunker right here.

It looks like any barn here in town, but in reality it is not.

Hey guys, want to let you know that we're coming in peace.

Wonder if we can actually get in,

but he's kind of guarding the entrance here.

>> Yeah, he has he has horns.

>> Okay, imagine if he's paid by the Swiss government.

>> The cows are security.

Oh, there are more people

that die from cows than die from shark attacks every year.

So, I'm not trying to play my odds here.

>> Hey, buddy.

>> Safar and I had already been in Switzerland for a few days filming

another exciting episode.

So, before we headed to explore the inside of the first of the three

most impressive bunkers in the country.

>> Oh, we first had to pick up one more member to join us

for this adventure.

We are starting with the largest privately owned bunker in the world.

>> Wow.

You could befriend this man in case of an emergency.

>> In case anything happens, he'd be a good friend to have.

Oh my god.

Holy.

This is insane.

This is the entrance to the world's largest privatelyowned bunker.

It almost feels like, you know, if doomday would be here,

this is how it would look like.

This is not the bunker yet.

This is like just the entrance.

>> I think we're here.

>> Oh, there's a man approaching us from behind.

I think that must be him.

How are you, Thomas?

>> Thomas, >> nice to meet you.

>> Nice to meet you, >> Amar.

Thank you for >> No problem. >> inviting us.

We're >> How long have you owned this bunker?

>> Almost 6 years now. >> 6 years.

>> It's the biggest one the Swiss army even built in World War II.

>> This is the biggest one.

>> Yeah.

The whole place is 195 rooms, over 30,000 square m of usable space.

Did you say 30,000 square m?

>> Mhm.

>> At full capacity, how many people could you shelter?

>> It was still for 600 soldiers to live survive here for 6 months.

It's 10 km of walkways.

Otherwise, we're here 2 days and walk. >> 10 kilometers of walkways.

>> Yeah.

>> So, was it a real fear in Switzerland

that the Germans would eventually go for Switzerland?

>> It was.

That's the whole reason why Hitler never came.

The entrance price was too high.

>> I see. if he comes here,

he knew that Swiss was was a sharpshooter

and he could have probably taken us,

but he would have lost too many people.

>> So, it was a famous saying, Switzerland,

the porcupine will take on the way back.

I think I'll take all the Europe and eventually they have to give in.

>> Okay, may this adventure begin.

This mega underground military stronghold is the Swiss Mountain Fortress.

Built directly into the cliffs,

it's one of the many highsecurity defensive structures constructed by Switzerland in the 20th

century.

A fully operational underground military village built to withstand siege, bombardment,

and isolation for months.

Equipped with its own post office.

>> There's a post office inside the bunker.

>> Shower facilities, medical stations, cafeterias,

and enough supplies for a garrison of troops to last for months underground.

It even had its own power plant and generator room.

>> Wow.

>> Was a key strategic location.

There's three bunkers here.

Mlich, Chingel forcals to protect this triangle to prevent Mussolini coming up from San

Bernardino from Italy or Hitler coming up from Germany.

And this was part of the strategic location to prevent them from getting in

the part of Switzerland.

>> This was built before any resources for architects, for any computer,

before any AutoCAD before.

So they had to like the entire architecture of this had to be done

by hand in their minds.

All the calculations, everything has to match cuz there's different levels.

It's just really, really wild that they built this during a wartime in secret.

>> Wow, you you are you are the safest man on earth.

>> That's just about it, Bill.

>> But why in the first place were all these bunkers meticulously

and extensively built across the entire country?

To answer that, we need to understand the Swiss mindset during World War II.

Switzerland has famously been neutral to most international conflicts.

And while people might assume that this meant they were unprepared for invasion,

they were wrong.

In the 1940s, as Nazi Germany was expanding in every direction

and invading all of Europe,

most countries chose to react offensively, preparing their militaries to fight back against invasion.

But the Swiss knew they couldn't win a direct fight.

Instead, they made the country itself into a weapon.

Entire mountains were hollowed.

Big barns hid anti-tank guns.

Civilians were trained, bridges wired to blow.

The plan was simple.

If invaded, retreat into the Alps and turn Switzerland into a fortress.

The government made it mandatory by law for there to be a fallout shelter

for every single citizen.

Every town has underground facilities for the people

and every house you built had to have a nuclearp proof shelter.

If you built a house,

you had to build a nuclear atomic proof shelter in the house. in case

of an atomic war.

>> Today, Switzerland has more bunkers per capita than anywhere else on Earth.

Most of them never used.

>> At one point, we had the largest standing army.

We had like 600,000 soldiers. >> 600,000 soldiers.

>> Well, every did the service.

They sent him home with the rifle, with the backpack, all including ammunition.

So, the army was ready in a matter of an hour.

They make one blast and everybody was ready.

Get the backpack, get the rifle, ammunition, and ready for for battle.

>> Feels like you would be ready as well.

>> Well, I'm ready.

I'm always ready.

>> Yeah.

>> Even now discussing again in in politics

that they might do it again

because of the situation with Europe

and the war and all

that kind of stuff.

Okay.

So, here's where the officers officers came.

>> Do you have a lot of staff that help?

>> No, we got a lot of friends who help.

>> Friends who help?

>> Yeah.

>> And they all have a spot in here in case something happens.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> We volunteer.

>> Yeah.

If you need help, >> we will do whatever you need for a spa here.

>> Things that we've been into mines before, like abandoned gold mines,

but there's nothing that has infrastructure like this.

>> Well, this is just the beginning.

I haven't wait until we see the rest.

>> These are the bedrooms for the officers.

There's 11 rooms for the officers.

>> So, I would have one of these rooms, you know.

>> I was just about to say you you would not.

>> We just left.

They got up and left.

>> So, when you bought this bunker,

this was just all here and they just left it.

>> Yeah.

These are the same beds that they had during World War II.

>> Yeah.

Everything is the same.

>> This is 80 years old.

>> How many beds do you have?

500 something. >> 582 beds.

>> One snorer like me in here.

And you have a very unhappy bunker.

>> This is one of the craziest humanuilt structures I've ever I've ever seen.

Imagine just like the amount of bunkers in the mountains here

that we don't know about.

It feels like we are traveling back in time.

>> They have motivational sayings everywhere.

Even if the devil is in front of the house,

he's going to lose a tooth trying to get in here.

>> He doesn't really in English, but in German it's like that.

>> You know what's interesting is I think most people's perception about Switzerland is

the beautiful mountains and like it's the scenery

and it's this postcard paradise.

But in reality, the Swiss people have a whole other side to them

that I think most people are completely unaware of.

>> Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

>> How is everyone behaving?

>> Perfect.

>> You tell me if that man creates problem.

>> We'll just lock him up down here.

We got a prison.

They had a prison down here.

So lock him up and stay here.

>> I bring him food once in a while.

>> You're kidding, right?

>> You're a passionated man.

>> I felt that had a heart of heart for him.

>> Yeah, I can see that.

If you would be like, you know, the president of the world,

what message would you like tell people?

>> I would say, you know, become self-sufficient.

Have enough food, have a backup, have a generator, just be prepared.

You know, you might never need it, but if it does happen,

you're the only guy that's going to, you know, walk away.

Wow.

What?

>> Let's say the electricity goes out.

Shoot off an atomic bomb 10 km up in the air.

All electricity stops.

Everything that works with electricity doesn't work anymore.

No car drives.

Unless it's an old car from before 1940

that doesn't have all the electronics on it.

So, electricity is everything.

You cut electricity off.

That's it.

Nothing works.

So, we make our own electricity here.

You want to be independent.

Okay.

We have no blackouts here.

But all these billionaires,

they're all building bunkers in places probably that we don't know about, right?

>> Oh, yeah.

Well, they they build them, but remember they're small.

There's maybe five, six rooms.

>> Yeah.

>> I got a village here.

I can walk around.

I won't get bored in here because to see everything in here.

You really walk around for one week.

>> Yeah.

>> I mean, it took me 4 months to know everything in here. >> 4 months?

>> Yeah.

Three original generators.

So, two of these engines would run and supply the whole place with electricity.

Oh, Thomas Edison must have been proud.

>> Yeah.

So, they built this back then.

And >> I can be a little notorious sometimes for saying

that this place is the craziest place I've ever been,

but this is maybe the craziest place I've ever been to.

>> I confirm.

Yeah.

>> The fact that what we've seen now is only 5%

and it feels like we've been walking for

so long. for me like the the the only other place where I felt

like this was there in Kuyu

which is one of the underground cities in Turkey.

That was like the only place where I was like I can't believe.

>> Think about this.

Every civilization has built underground facilities.

>> Yeah.

>> The Romans had it.

Uh the Turks I mean the Sumerianss had it.

I mean all the way through history they always knew the safest place is

underground.

>> Yeah.

>> Now we're outside.

>> Wow.

Oh, >> it's stripped to be like deep down in the world's log largest

privately owned bunker.

And here's the most peaceful place.

You can hear the birds.

This is insane.

All these people driving by here through the valley.

They have Yeah, they have no idea what's here.

>> The whole mountain was a fortress basically than the village.

So, there's more bunkers up there and all.

>> And if you had ammo, this thing would work today.

>> Yeah.

Yeah, they all work.

Yeah.

I'm curious of your view of like the balance of being prepared

and not being scared.

>> Well, there's a famous line in the Bible

or there's a Bible story about Noah having built the ark,

but he didn't build the ark when the rain came.

>> He built the ark before the flood came.

>> So, a lot of people wait till the flood

and then they worry about what what I'm going to do now.

I mean, I think it's smart to be prepared even

if you never need it.

But hey, you never know.

M >> you know doesn't mean you have to have a bunker like this

everybody but I'm saying you can have prepared to have some food at home

know where you're going

if something happens for me it's common sense >>

and are you scared anything do you walk around with fear on your chest

>> scared see I don't have to be scared

because I'm prepared >>

if I was prepared I'd be more scared >> you seen

that this guy scared you afraid >> there's a famous line uh I'd rather

be a warrior in a garden rather than a gardener in war >> that's

Yeah,

>> I'm a proud Swiss, you know,

and I want I want people to see what the Swiss did

and and hopefully preserve these kinds of things,

you know, in the future.

>> You're a man for the people, Eric.

>> Let's go back to >> We had a heart to heart there now.

It's a man for the people

and you're trying to throw this very serious man a bunch of compliments

and he's not really taking them every time he changes topic

or just walks away.

Thinking we had just left the most impressive place we'd ever seen,

we had no idea what was awaiting us the following day.

But before heading there, we'd like to thank the sponsor enabling today's adventure.

Before we go any further,

I first want to share some words of honesty and insights with you guys.

And I also want to thank today's sponsor, BetterHelp.

I'm in a bit of a trying season right now,

even if I don't always show it in a video.

I have been working through some personal things

that sometimes has been quite hard to sit with by myself.

But in the presence of safe spaces with a friend and a therapist,

I've been able to meet these places within me with a little bit more

compassion,

care, and love.

And each time I do that,

I feel a little bit more free and whole.

And as a friendly reminder,

there are no bad parts in you or in me.

Just parts that hasn't been seen yet.

If you are in your own crying season,

I just want to let you know that you're not by yourself.

Sometimes we just need to learn how to hold our hand in the dark

and maybe being held by someone else.

That's why I believe in BetterHel's mission to make starting therapy

as easy and as comfortable

as possible.

All right, now let's go even deeper into this bunker exploration.

As we prepared for our second day of the trip

and our second of three bunkers to explore,

we had no idea we were about to be surprised by an extra adventure

partner.

>> All right, made it to Switzerland.

Here to surprise the guys.

>> I'm doing my best to activate my hideand seek skills.

I won $70,000 in the Mr.

Beast hide-and-seek contest.

Think I can surprise the guys.

You missing Avenger Buddy?

You kidding me?

What are you?

>> I'm here.

>> Did you know about this?

>> No, I didn't.

>> You didn't?

>> Oh my god.

So happy to see you.

>> Oh my god.

>> I didn't want to edit today.

So >> So unlike the other bunkers that were sort of remote,

this is just like in this village.

>> Yeah.

It must be for actually for people to shelter.

Like it feels like the other ones were more military purpose.

This is one of,

if not the largest civilian bunker in the world. 20,000 people can fit in

here and it's eight stories high.

>> Hello.

How are you?

>> Hi, I'm Nicear.

>> Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, >> Thomas.

Nice to meet you.

>> This is the entrance.

>> We're uh looking at a civilian shelter.

>> How many people can this bunker hold?

>> Um, it was originally designed to house 20,000 people.

It was uh built in the 1970s.

Constituted a third of our city's inhabitants.

So every third person in the city of Lousern was uh once supposed to

be sheltered in here.

Me too.

I'm a real local.

I was born in the area and originally allocated to this bunker.

>> How does it feel for you to know like where you're going

if something happens?

>> I've never really thought about it

because I've been lucky enough to grow up in a very carefree time.

So for me, uh, these bunkers have always been a very theoretical thing.

>> While the previous bunker we explored had begun construction in direct response to

the threat of World War II,

after the end of that war, Switzerland did not slow down their bunker program.

>> Because an undefended country invites aggression,

Switzerland feels it must remain forever armed and vigilant.

>> This bunker, built in 1971,

was designed to address the new impending threat of the Cold War.

The large bunkers that had been built across the country before this were developed

to face a military invasion by a neighboring country.

But as the Cold War escalated in the 50s and 60s,

these new bunkers had to address an entirely different scenario.

In the event of a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the West,

Switzerland would not even need to be a direct target of an attack to

be affected by nuclear fallout.

These new bunkers weren't just thickwalled shelters.

They had to be carefully engineered spaces built to protect humans from a deadly

environment that a nuclear explosion could create outside.

They had to create technology to protect against radiation which could contaminate the air,

water, and food and cause complete power failure.

>> So these are some of the original air filters.

These filters were apparently able to filter any then known nuclear, biological,

and chemical agent so

that people in the tunnels could have been provided with fresh air

if everything had been contaminated.

Switzerland has always been neutral.

So the fear has never been to be under direct attack.

The fear would be to become collateral damage.

A lot of people stressed the fact

that all of these shelters mostly fulfilled a psychological purpose to give people a

sense of hope that there would be a plan B.

And today civil defense say

that the duration of stay depends on what the problem is outside.

But still in case of a nuclear threat close nuclear threat uh where everybody

isolates themselves who are not talking more than two weeks.

So, three people and you hear the noise.

>> It's It's 64 beds in total.

>> 64.

>> Picture 40 tossing and turning.

>> People snoring, little babies, people coughing, crying.

>> Oh my god.

No.

>> Just not him.

>> Come on, guys.

>> What did you say?

>> Smaller group.

>> Good answer.

I asked uh how different from high school students are we?

>> We're smaller group.

>> For most of the 20th century,

Switzerland poured billions into building one of the most extensive bunker networks on Earth.

Hundreds of hidden fortresses and shelters carved into the landscape,

all in preparation for a war that never came.

But with the Cold War winding down,

the government began decommissioning many of these bunkers.

Since then, most have sat untouched, sealed off, forgotten, or repurposed into museums, hotels,

even cheese sellers.

They became relics of an era defined by paranoia and preparation.

But today, with war once again raging across Europe and the Middle East,

a new question is quietly surfacing.

If global tensions keep escalating,

is there a chance that these bunkers may need to be reopened?

>> People think nothing's going to happen.

Is there a part of you

that thinks things might

and so you're kind of >> I mean look at what's happening.

It's crazy you know I mean they're talking about dropping nuclear bombs all over

the place and who knows what you know everything is posed.

>> When the wars in Ukraine started people started calling me asking me can

you tell me what measures I have to take

or where I would have to go

because they they confused me with civil defense.

>> Yeah.

>> Do you think it's worth it to have these to pay money to

maintain these?

I think people's perspective has changed with these recent uh world politics.

Well, I don't think it's a waste of money.

I I'd say I can count myself lucky that we have this.

However, I hope we'll never have to use it.

We did not know it yet,

but the final bunker we were heading to explore

and the person that owns it was about to be the most unbelievable of

them all.

But while we were preparing to meet some kind of menacing army general,

we were instead met with this man. the dog English.

We don't speak one word English.

>> Sorry.

>> Oh, that's going to be tough.

>> We We can only say h today.

It's time for you to learn German.

>> What do you want to drink?

Why >> you going down in about 3 hours?

>> We have to start.

Good idea.

>> Yeah. probably loves beer as well.

>> What?

If everyone else is having beer, I guess I'll have a beer.

>> What What is happening?

Spirit runs all the >> We worried that this would be the most serious.

>> We need some alcohol

when we go in the in the fortress >>

because it's very dangerous.

>> Okay, gentlemen.

We drink the beers.

>> Okay.

>> And then we go.

>> I think you're the most Swiss man I've ever met and it's an honor.

>> Thank you very much.

>> Yeah.

Cheers.

>> Cheers.

Cheers.

>> I love them.

>> I'm in the army.

>> Oh, you are in the army still?

>> Yeah, I still in the army.

Yeah, I'm a lieutenant colonel.

>> Oh, thank >> honor to meet you.

>> So, you're the owner, but you're also still in the army,

but you own it privately.

>> I own it privately.

>> I think the prerequisite to buying a bunker is to be like a

very unique character.

I don't think you buy a massive decommissioned military bunker unless there's like a

little something about your personality

that makes you uh

that makes you think

that that's a good idea.

>> Welcome to the fortress Walt Bront in the Bernese Highlands.

Please come in.

>> Oh, that is Oh, >> that's the most drastic temperature drop I've ever heard.

If the tunnel is 2 kilome and 300 m long,

I have cars inside your cars.

>> Oh, you're ready for You're ready to go to war by yourself, man.

You said cars.

I didn't think you meant this.

>> What?

What is your country, bro?

>> This guy just owns this.

>> What?

>> Do all these cars still work?

Yes.

Yes.

Every car is in function.

Every bar has fuel inside.

The batteries have power.

>> How are you allowed to keep like because this is a huge problem.

>> It's a rock.

>> Do you have that the way I'm laughing gun?

>> Oh, the auxilary gun.

>> Everything in function.

>> How come you're allowed to own this?

Because this is a huge weapon.

I mean, I'm the owner here

and I make that with the license from the Swiss army.

I can have everything in function.

And in Switzerland, everybody has a gun at home >>

and everybody has the ammunition at home.

There's normal.

>> Phillip, we travel to countries all around the world.

We not met any character like you.

>> Oh, thank you very much.

Please come.

>> What's happening?

I was not expecting us to walk into fully operational war room.

I mean, like these vehicles all still function.

That tank back there still functions.

These anti-tank rockets still function.

I didn't even know this was allowed to own something like this

as a person.

He's got a rocket back there.

>> Just parked in a mountain.

>> This is way crazier than I thought it was going to be.

And what we didn't realize is that we were just scratching the surface.

Uh here we have cars too.

Yeah.

Jesus.

You like >> the backup army for Switzerland.

>> Okay.

It's a 10.5 cm cannon and it makes here the rotation.

We have 16 guns

and we have spare guns in the rooms

and we have spare spare guns here.

Guns.

Guns.

Guns.

>> Le 14.

>> Wo >> Swiss army weapons.

Under tank weapons.

Huh?

>> Wow.

A sniper weapon from 1955.

That's a Smith and Wesson Magnum Classic 40 caliber 44 Magnum.

>> And whose is it?

>> All is mine.

>> What a question.

>> Not the boy for asking.

>> Just like bunch of weapons here.

>> Phillip is a mystery here.

How?

How?

How?

Philip, I think you're the most armed individual in the world.

Actually, >> no, no, no.

I think I'm normal.

Oh, >> test three times apart.

>> We were to start the tank.

>> Yes, it is.

>> This still works.

>> Everything works here.

>> What the How is this caliber machine gun?

The Caliba machine gun.

Okay.

>> Don't press anything.

Okay.

Two >> grenades.

>> What are the >> That's amazing.

That's beautiful.

How was it?

>> For my for my children.

>> For the next 3 hours,

Philip continued to lead us through his endless labyrinth

and blow our minds with just how much equipment he has stored here.

It's a radio plant SC018 from the second world wars with fortress.

>> We can start.

>> And is this what force?

>> The you are in the four.

>> You just did that. >> 600 stairs.

>> So what percent of the bunker has have we seen?

>> When we end our tour, you have seen 30%.

Not tomorrow.

>> Jesus.

>> Before leaving, Philillip had one final room to show us.

>> Jesus Christ.

>> Oh my god.

>> Oh, >> these are all very historic weapons.

>> These are historic weapons.

Here we have the the first world war with the >> first world war

moxy machine gun.

>> Where does all this interest come from?

Like what's your drive behind >> the army?

Swiss Army is is my my my life a part of my life.

My life.

Everybody has something and I have this.

>> What's your view on war?

>> We have all these things in Switzerland

and the reason is the war cannot come to Switzerland.

>> War is bad.

>> Every officer in the army says war is bad.

When you know the war, nobody wants the war.

And so you have to do something that the war not comes to you.

>> When the other can see what you have,

they don't come with war to you.

And when you are officer in the army, you want peace.

You work for the peace.

We do that all for the peace.

War is the is terrible.

It's the horror.

You must have something to defense.

When you have nothing, it's dangerous.

>> You have quite a bit.

So we have your number now.

So, we're going to call.

>> You have the number.

>> If someone if someone if someone with us calling you,

>> you can't come every time.

>> This attention can go out

and go on the right side

that go 600 m down. >> 600 m is steadily.

I I go first.

I go first.

>> You said be careful.

There's a 600 m drop here outside.

Yeah.

Not this sticking it.

>> Hey, what?

Oh my god.

>> Attention. 600 m.

>> Oh, she goes down 600 m.

Wow.

We have reached the top of this bunker and this is where it is.

Wow.

Wow.

This is This is stunning.

Beautiful.

We certainly opened doors on this journey we never expected.

And the Swiss defense mentality was revealed to us in a way

that was both daunting

and in other ways inspiring.

Switzerland hasn't been at war for 200 years.

And the way they achieved that is unlike anywhere else on earth.

It >> it's also feels special for us because this month we're celebrating 10 years.

>> Yeah.

>> Since we started Yes.

Like literally this this was the first week we ever made videos together.

>> Okay.

>> So it feels extra special that you hosted us.

Honor for me to be the for the first week.

I think we I think we go to we go to the Ver.

>> I think Philip is up there on the yes legends.

>> The people being safe everywhere.

>> Yeah.

For peace.

>> Cheers.

For peace.

>> The fact that these bunkers went from being decommissioned, however,

to now many being recommissioned is not a good sign.

The senselessness of war has never been clearer.

Yet, it seems like our world leaders are regressing

when it comes to peace conversation.

Our future has never been more at stake than right now.

And we cannot give up on ourselves and cave into fear and wararmongering.

May our future elected leaders hear this call.

And may our grandchildren's generation see more peace

and prosperity on our planet than any generation before them.

As Yesori hits 10 years this month,

our project here on YouTube has more than ever been a peace project.

Our ultimate aim being to build bridges between people and cultures around the world.

As much of world politics and news media seek to destroy and dehumanize.

Beneath it all, every human is connected

and harm done to another is harm done to our whole.

The day we will understand that is the day we will know peace.

Happy 10year anniversary.

Yes, Theory.

And may our mission continue for many more years to come.
