The Swiss have put on one of the most bizarre opening ceremonies in history to mark the completion of the world’s longest tunnel at a fairground in Erstfeld, in the north of the country.
An Excerpt: Obvious: According to commentators, the performance explored the myths of the massif, the modernity of the book and the North-South reconciliation were its central themes. [I could look it up, but I know there are clever TBPers who will tell me what ‘the myths of the massif’ are? Thanks, Maggie]

The massif refers to the mountain ranges suurrounding the swiss. What the myths are I dont know. I was in switzerland many moons ago. Rode a 600 ninja motorcycle over the alps into switzerland from the italian side. April 17th 1989. Near fatal level of stupidity. It snows up in them thar hills even when its 80 in the valley below.
The one picture from the linked article looks like that krampus thing. They had krampus masks in little niches in the tunnels that decended . We rode up a road from the italy side and then into a tunnel down into switzerland. Bill pulled over into one of these niches because he was soaked thru his leathers by then, and there was a mask hanging there with a light pointed at it. As for why, I dont kno.
(a) Pagan shit always looks bizzare to non-pagans
(b) Dressing in your underwear and Doc Martins is just sooo last decade, nude is the thing now. A recent performance in Central Park of “The Tempest” by all nude female cast (in the middle of the day) is an example.
(c) That winged baby has tits………
Maggie,
ON THE ALETSCH GLACIER, Switzerland — It’s a pageant of devils and demons, virgins and Pontius Pilate. But this is no horror story or nightmare — just a taste of the Alpine legends that lend their names to Switzerland’s high mountains.
It’s unlikely that many visitors to the Alps, or even residents, give much thought to the names of the rocky heights. But closer investigation reveals tales of derring-do that add depth to darkly forested valleys and greater clarity to airy ridges.
“Some were named by early climbers, some are legend,” Hanspeter Holzhauser, a geographer at the University of Zurich, said as he walked along a snow path looking down over the Aletsch Glacier, the Jungfrau massif on one side and the Matterhorn on the other.
A few Alpine mountain names — such as the Matterhorn or Mont Blanc — immediately evoke images of a needle-sharp spire or a huge mass of snow and ice.
Some are purely geographical, but vary by language — French, German, Italian or even Romansch and Slovenian.
The Matterhorn gets its German name from the “Matt” in the name of the town of Zermatt below and the mountain’s pyramidal peak, or “glacial horn.” It is called Le Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian.
But some names have their origins in Alpine history and myth, such as Jungfrau (“Virgin”) or Quille du Diable (“Devil’s Ninepin”).
There is more…

Thanks!
Here’s another explanation:
Which explanation seems more likely?
Nuthin but a bunch of morans here.
The massif refers to Stucky’s trouser snake. I thought that was settled science here.

The Opening Ceremony of the World’s Largest Tunnel Was a Bizarre Occult Ritual
By VC on June 3, 2016 Vigilant Reports
Attended by Europe’s most powerful people, the opening ceremony of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland was a dark, disturbing, weirdly satanic ritual. Here’s a look at another celebration of the occult elite.
Measuring over 57 km and costing over 11 billion Euros, the Gotthard Base Tunnel is world’s longest and most expensive tunneling project in History. Going through the Swiss Alps, the tunnel took 17 years to complete and is said to be a symbol of European unification in a context of rising nationalism and closing borders.
To celebrate the inauguration of this tunnel, an elaborate ceremony was presented in front of European dignitaries such as Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, President Francois Hollande of France and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. While most would expect an up-beat, celebratory ceremony, guests were rather treated to a disturbing show orchestrated by German director Volker Hesse, where a man dressed as a goat presided a strange ritual.
As I discussed in my article on the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics, the occult elite enjoys putting on full display its agenda and philosophy symbolic, dramatic displays which are reminiscent of dramas re-enacted in secret society rituals. Furthermore, there is no better way to showcase sheer power than putting the “Illuminati stamp of approval” on massive mega-projects such as the Olympics or major constructions.
Here’s part of the show.
The ceremony begins with workers dressed in orange walking slowly to the beat of a rhythmic military drum.
This scene represents the workers being sent to the tunnel.

There is something very “New World Order” to this militaristic portrayal of the working force. As the drums get more rhythmic, the workers get more excited, dancing around and jumping through loops.
Then, things get stranger. A train brings a group of young people dressed in white underwear.
Dressed in white, these kids appear to represent the masses, the rest of the population.
Dressed in white, these these men and women represent the masses who will travel through the tunnel.
For some reason, the ceremony becomes strangely sexual as the white-clad people start groping each other.

After portraying the workers as zombie soldiers, the ceremony portrays the general population as a bunch of lascivious people who appear to be extremely suggestible.
Then, emerging from that train is a demonic fallen angel, a baby-faced Lucifer.
This scene is meant to “honor” the 5 workers who died during the construction of the tunnel. Why is baby Lucifer creepily flying above them?

From this point on, the event turns into an all-out satanic ceremony.

What does this have to do with the building of a tunnel? Mass media, in its vein attempts at explaining this ceremony, state that there are mountain goats in the Alps … which explains the goat-man. But why is this goat-man in such a position of power? Why are people bowing down to him?
Then people go into a strange procession holding horned skulls like priceless religious artifacts.

The second part of the ceremony takes place outside and follows the same basic narrative. Zombie workers go first, followed by people in underwear, to the welcome Satan himself.
For some reason, workers take off their shirt and get in military formation.

Once again, the ceremony portrays the death of workers in a rather disturbing matter.

While the goat man runs around on stage, screaming like a possesed demon, the giant screen displays images of the goat man looking extremely evil. Also, we see three scarabes floating. Does Satan see the three dead workers as mere insects?

As people dressed in white bow down to the goat man, a circle of eyes watches over them, confirming that this was one big, blatant Satanic ceremony brought to you by the occult elite.

In Conclusion
The occult elite is all about power and symbolism. The above ceremony showcased both. Through the opening ceremony of the world’s deepest and longest tunnel, the occult elite tells the world that they control the world’s resources and manpower. In other words, they are the only ones who can make such projects happen because they control politics, finance and business. Furthermore, by creating overtly occult ceremonies, the elite tells the world: “This is what we believe in, this is what we think of you and there is nothing you can do about it.”
The opening ceremony of the Gotthard Base Tunnel turned a great feat of engineering into a religious ceremony dedicated to Baphomet while somewhat ridiculing the workers who sacrificed their lives and the masses who will travel through the tunnel. Then, Europe’s most powerful people stood up and gave a standing ovation to this ceremony dedicated to the true ruler of the occult elite.[img]

And really, this guy? Johny Depp should play him in the movie.

Whatever, I’m sick. Take me to the hospital.
I thought I was watching some opening ceremony at the Winter Olympics.
Pretty hard to see it as anything other than what it looked like.
In many ways, I agree, HSF, but if is really is what it appears to be, it is an all out thumbing of noses at you and me.

“The massif refers to Stucky’s trouser snake. I thought that was settled science here.:
If it’s settled (like globull warming) then it’s not science! Sorry, you can’t have it both ways.
Swiss weed range usually from very strong to über-kryptonite, very specialy the alpine rocket breed.
a half “cigarette” can make you forget your name and roll on the floor laughing.
I guess this explain that…
“… it is an all out thumbing of noses at you and me.”
Well, yeah.
I’ve seen some performance art, plenty of operas, musicals, ballet, even a few pop pieces like Cirque de Solei, but this has to rank right down there with one of those pre-school graduations.
Horrible, if genuine, flat out satanic if not.
I wonder what the price tag on that dreck was? How many mouths could have been fed, refugees relocated, racial injustices made just with that kind of cash?
Bread and circuses are more important.
Just a reminder. It doesn’t matter how absurd a religious belief is. It doesn’t matter that you don’t believe it, or even know that it’s false. What matters is if the people following it believe it.
Knowing the truth about Islam doesn’t make you immune to suicide bombers.
Likewise, seeing the bizarre nature of occult rituals doesn’t make you immune to the actions of the people who organize and believe in them.
