The conspiracy narrative that the rural population is being poisoned and driven into 15-minute towns is gaining ground in Switzerland. Fairmedia issues a warning about a video circulating on Telegram.

Short: As with other narratives, individual facts are cherry-picked and reinterpreted to fuel fears among the public.

Conclusion: misleading scaremongering without substance

The Swiss population is not threatened by mysterious threads. If you or your relatives or friends are confronted with this content, please exercise caution. The video builds up a threat scenario on the basis of supposedly unknown facts for which there is no evidence.

Many gaps in the argumentation are left to the audience's imagination and technical terms are thrown around that may seem impressive to laypeople. In the end, however, they only serve the purpose of disguising the fact that the authors' conclusions are based on their imagination.
