Switzerland — The Permanent Neutral Node

The Global Reconciliation Ledger

Switzerland is not neutral — it is the ledger. During World War II, 77% of Nazi gold was routed through Swiss banks. The country sold weapons to both sides simultaneously. The Bank for International Settlements in Basel housed Nazi and Allied central bankers on the same board. Neutrality is the function, not the position.
