- Journalist Baz MacDonald searches for evidence of the survival bunkers being shipped to New Zealand, while investigating the factors causing this rise in paranoia among the rich and the effect this rhetoric has on their destination of choice - the mountain resort town, Queenstown.

When I was a kid queenstown was awesome, we had a house in the holiday park and would spend heaps of time there, then all those rich people came, the holiday park was bulldozed and everyone forced to sell. I was up there last week and it's horrible now, it's no longer for kiwis, it's for foreign rich people
As a New Zealander, im worried that if a nuclear war did happen, enemies of the west would bomb us just to ensure the death of our most powerful figures. Other than that i can see no other reason why anyone would bomb us. Building bunkers here increases the target on us, we should make these rich foreigners pay to come here, maybe build some bunkers for the rest of us.
I don't think they will waste their Nukes for that reason. If the enemy has already conquered the US ( I'm assuming the people buying these bunkers are Americans) then the ones living in new Zealand are nothing but just people with alot of money but no POWER.
I don't think they are after their money. A war is fought for resources ( both natural and man made) which people living in bunkers in new Zealand don't have anymore.
So why attack them and waste precious weapons. Just leave them with their money on an Island.
And even if they are so desperate to kill them then why use Nukes?
Just send a little Special forces squad or simply ask the people of New Zealand to cement their bunker enterences so that they never come out.
Everybody only thinks about themselves including you it seems like. And that’s why NOBODY will be safe
Rich people logic - Create a toxic environment for the bad future of humanity and then buy bunkers to hide from it.
WTF.
I wonder if all of the CEO s that quit over the past few months are in New Zealand to avoid the COVID -19 apocalypse.
apocalypse??!! lol. more like much ado about nothing,,,,,a tempest in a tea cup....I went the whole time without a mask and never tested positive or got sick....and I live in a big city and was around people all the time.....it was all just a super embellishment to get everyone even more scared than they already were...after awhile most saw it wasn't as dangerous as first thought, but they kept up with the full press and named a new more contagious dangerous variant was out. finally the vast majority realized it's not so dangerous after all, this and after being vaccinated fifty times..lol...now it's mass shooting after mass shooting to make us feel more scared,,it's the govt pulling these strings so they can implement their own agenda and have more control/power over the people....of course they want to take our guns, it's the only thing we have to defend ourselves from our own govt, and our govt doesn't want us to b able to defend ourselves, cuz that would mean it will be more difficult to take total control....we need to stand up and oust all these fanatical right and left wing zealots before it's too late....we've all been pussified, there's barely enough people left that have the balls to fight against the govt....
😂😂😂 what COVID-19 apocalypse??? get from under that BRICK 🤡🤡🤡🤡!! I apologize go back under the brick!! THANKS!!
"The Rich don't won't want to change the rules......" YEAH RIGHT.
Is it possible to post a video that ISN'T copied from the main Vice channel and IS in Asia?
Ian RJM vice reposted a 3 year old documentary. Idk what’s going with vice but im not liking it..
Ian RJM , Send me a link to the Original one then...
This is news to me, im shook. And kinda mad about it 😫 buying lands from overseas should be harder than getting residency!? And wtf? Abandoned mansions 👀🙄
Props to the presenter for enlightening 👏🏽
This doco seems more about Peter Tiel, than bunkers!
It's that VICE slant, they dare not touch all the actors and billionaires that dump money into the left wing doing the same thing.
Baz MacDonald got lost in his search at first... but at the end he actually told it. The truth is; New Zealand's "Queenstown is the bunker!"...
This guy implies that netive new Zealanders aren't smart and clever and then blatantly says that it's an unfounded fear that rich people will break the rules for their own advantage. What a dishonest and classist but of propaganda from rich guy🙄
Wait so the bunker company CEO said they've built 38 bunkers, but the City says they don't have one single record of a building consent for a bunker? So then the bunker company built those bunkers illegally but is still allowed to operate? Wtf
Who did your subtitles? Inaccuracies throughout
Oh my I can’t believe this guys documentary makes Geraldo Rivera’s Al Capones vault special seem like a brilliant story.
don't waste your time on this. 28 mins wasted
I actually live in the South Island, they don’t live in Bunkers, they have nice modern almost mansions here with farmland
Wow!! Great job Vice. New no reboot. Thanks
Should have asked about basements on the properties. And every cellars etc.
Should be interresting to see how many properties which have this...
I woukd rather suddenly die then to know im going to starve to death or will never be able to see sunlight again
The bunkers arent for doomsday...its for the day the poor working class rise up and eat the rich
Which is... doomsday.
@@tobymurs6495 for the rich
They really do be turning themselves into canned sardines
I ate a rich man once. Gotta say he was very tender and juicy with a mild flavor. The key is to slow cook them.
@@tobymurs6495 nuclear war they mean, if they mean they can scape from allah they cant 😁
Yaay new docos from New Zealand 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Re-upload? I have watched this earlier
11:02 "Peter is one of the most secretive people in the world"
Vice, "Ya we know"
The Old Vice just sparked for a brief moment.
I know some people that take care of construction crew men that talk. Everyone has a family.
wow this is my country and it's the first I've heard, dad brought the family here in the 80ies as he knew what was to come, but we didn't get a bunker, Bugger!🙃
Should have just asked contractors off camera if they’ve built bunkers for ridiculous amounts of money with no paperwork.
Live in a bunker filled with gold bricks while the rest of NZ tries to get in to get your food. All that "invested/bribed" wealth is getting nowhere in NZ. It's a gorgeous place nature wise but not a great place living, working wise if one isn't already wealthy AF.
“Im so important I need to be alive when the rest of civilization is dead”.
Wait till they realize their nanny, chef and doctor didn’t have a bunker and canned beans are on the menu for the next 20 years.
Name of the song at the beginning (00:26)?
“I don’t think rich people would come here to break all the rules” uhhhhhh…. source???
"The rich don't want to change the rules", right after the cutaway to his copy of "The Fountainhead". I see what you did there 😉 Very clever.
Now the first place they gone hit is New Zealand
Incredibly astute!
Really
Dude they use their money to get a passport which regular people have to go thru the proper processes
So that is already using their money to break the rules
There's a fault line running through nz lol what a waste of money
He sounds more like a Peter Tiel stalker. Never could find a bunker or Peter.
Wtf is this Peter tile?
@@philippriestman8516 Peter Thiel is a Billionaire in New Zealand this reporter here keeps following. The bunker he's looking for is the one he's standing on. New Zealand, the whole island is the mythical safe place for the uber rich.
Hey. I enjoyed this documentary
The millionaires should have to built an affordable house for every building they build. Give back rich people.
What's with the hard coded subtitles?
If I were to build a bunker there, I would contact and hire local concrete and steel suppliers, maybe whoever does their largest road and public works. With a multimillion budget, I wouldn't be importing and burying something, I would dig an enormously deep foundation, and pour massive load bearing walls with the thickest rebar in country, and top it with a slab thick enough to work as a foundation for a structure up top
The fact that rich people don't know to go with Atlas Bunkers is rather laughable.
Interesting piece, however at the end no I don't believe that to be a bunker. I believe it to be a garage built into the side of a hill. Speculation and hearsay. Not good journalism
Newsflash, you can't fly your private to your bunker in New Zealand in 30 minutes. That's about all the warning you're gonna get, in the event of a nuclear war. Even if you can get off the ground, your plane is most likely going to go down, cause all your instruments will short because of all electro magnetic activity.
Where was this "newsflash" mentioned?
You're coming up with a scenario of nuclear war which didn't even feature in this
Nice man
Have you ever sold a house with a survival bunker?
No, how about a wine cellar?
the fact ur tryna look for people’s personal bunker that is made for their safety is kind of weird. It’s cool but definitely weird. You should let the creators show off their inkers they create
So basically i watched 28 mins of video to see bunkers, as advertised in the title, and 0 bunkers were shown during this video.
They could very easily convert Wine Cellars into Bunkers & nobody would even know, as it’s just classified as that. 🤔
what was his symbolizing with the empty ice cone ?
7:24 the most unique experience he's had with a client is keeping a ski hill open another 45 minutes? 🤣😴😴😴😴
Rich people destroy where ever they are.
When they get dirty, who's gonna clean your bolthole? 2 ply Charmin, mate.
If that was my place, I'd probably have a bunker, but I'd damn sure have more than one or two buildings of garages for my 'fleet' of supercars. Also, if that 2nd building under the hill is a bunker than it ain't a very good one since EVERYBODY can see it; it is a man cave.
And here I am august 2021…….
Why New Zealand? With all the regular earthquakes?
Uh what if there is no internet or gps...
The lovechild of Action Bronson & A Sheep!
At this stage it can be assumed that they have there own currency as well.
Someone must have information and we need it.
Goverments need the info, and they have it.
Why do you need it? You want them to build another bunker because the location got compromised?
@@Veganoto We are looking for locations to try our latest Bunker Busters For instance the latest Russian made we call it Buried Dead or Alive.
These facilities need to be registered and inspected to make sure they are not doing something that puts the whole world in danger. If you only knew or saw what i have.
So tell us all….
yeah.. tell us.
Please tell us
Well I’ll tell you what I know if you tell me what you know.
By the way if my neighbor is hungry and he has kids I’m giving him my food.
I don't see how "doomsday bunkers" could ever work. No matter if it's any sort of single-family bunker, or community-scale bunker, or even town-scale "sort of" bunker like Queenstown. You know why?
It's clear that should indeed any sort of doomsday actually happen - then it definitely means the end of global economy at very least. Which in turn means, any modern "developed" country - will have its domestic economy completely falling apart, as nowadays things are extremely globalized. Like, New Zealand is importing more than 80% of oil it needs. Bring in the doomsday - automatically this alone means over 80% of all vehicles, roughly speaking, in Zealand - are not moving anywhere, day after day, month and month. Which in turn means all sorts of things fall apart, things which require most of all the vehicles moving around, moving stuff around, etc. And it ain't just oil, it's hundreds types of goods, both resources and technological products, which can't be produced anywhere near required domestically amount by any modern country's economy.
This, in turn, means complete social breakdown. Economy in ruins - means salaries not paid, bank terminals not working, services no more available, riots, armed conflicts, and rather soon civil war. There are a few "failed" or "nearly failed" countries (states) in the world already which recently went, and/or are currently going, through various phases of this. Except of these few, there _is_ an outside world which sends them at least some humanitarian aid, red cross teams, UN troops, etc - while in any proper doomsday scenario, none of the sort would come. Simply because noone "out there" is able to send them.
And so, even if any sort of a bunker would work "as advertised" and keep a man / a family / a community / a region physically intact - very soon, all the "happy" survivors would still succumb to utter destruction of the only way of life they've even known, which is - a "civilized" way of life. Dark ages are called "dark" for a good reason, and it wouldn't be the 1st time mankind would get some. Rule of the strong and all that.
The REAL deal - something which could actually work as a sort of backup, "plan B" for at least some proper doomsday scenarios - is a functioning human preservation region(s) / cultures, complete with full self-sufficiency by all systems and processes required for having full life-support features for its population, meaning that it must be very low-tech, it must avoid any instances of practical tragedy of commons happening (which means, only very specific sort of people could ever be allowed to live in it, namely overwhelmingly and sincerely altruistic, intelligent and environment-caretaking kind of people), and it must have ways to resist and/or endure any kind of external intervention (military or any other sort of). Perhaps you'd say this sounds completely and utterly impossible? Well, big surprise if so: such regions and cultures actually already exist, and some exist for many hundreds years, even. Like, i'm sure that yak herders in Tibet will keep doing what they were doing last couple thousands years - for thousands years after most sorts of doomsday events which would certainly wipe out vast majority of New Zealand's human population (and any other so-called "civilized" country's population just as well).
“Man, this guy really trusts me”
Damn he definitely made a mistake there
I'll just go live in the Rotorua forest or some where 😂
That wont save u if its a nuke
Reporoa lol
If an asteroid hits new Zealand then bunkers won't matter. Anything can happen. Y'all stay safe and live your life!
Exactly what I thought a huge ass asteroid will annihilate any underground bunker.
As a Kiwi, I don’t mind them coming here one bit as long as they invest in our beautiful country!
They have no plans to invest in your country.
This is interesting
Thought this was VICE Asia....
P.S Surely I'm not the only person that was clicking on this expecting it to be about Bikies and Bunkers, for which this contained neither
Thats exactly what i thought it was about. Seeing the thumbnail and he sorta looked like a motorcycle club member(1%er) without his vest on. Especially with the bald head and the beard. But boy was i wrong.🤦🏻♂️. And to top it off, there was not 1 bunker in sight 😂 we were fooled by vice
" Air " ?
How come there wasn’t any ice cream in his cone?
We are now here. Covid19 and economic collapse. And not any ole person can fly there anymore
Yes they can and yes they still are. Its fucking bullshit too
I wonder how many people in the comments have actually been to NZ 🤔
yeah these people don't seem to have the most informed takes.
As an Australian who is part Māori from New Zealand I can understand why they would move there
Try to remember that which was said by Bob Marley, Redemption song has a lyric ,have no fear for atomic energy, none of them can stop the time!!
Theil is building a x shaped subterranean house closer to wanaka
Re-upload.
Go to Argentina’s bunkers next!
If my neighbors children is Hungry and I don't share, that will put me in odds with the Universe. No point living a selfish life mate
Follow some bald guy around and watch him ask questions that no one would answer in a million years. Great video.
Right now today October 23 2022 , Powerball lottery is up to $600 million. That can buy a lot of Bunkers. We here in the United States have Bunker's already occupied by wealthy individuals. If Russia pushes a button both sides are EOE . End of everything. Fact. 😢
He said Bolt Hold
It's hunting season boys time to hunt down the rich and become pirates.
And now, a 2019 video repost. Fuck that, Vice.
Every residence is registered u der Real Estate sites, every persons realestate is logged on REINZ sites they use internally
Why would you have a bunker?
Rich : bc why wouldn't you?
With what’s going on in America etc, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them start coming over to NZ in a few years, watch NZ will become a haven for the rich very soon!
I guess money doesn’t buy you privacy
Required to be registered, maybe the Government will need help and we have to ensure that nothing is taking place that puts the whole planet in danger.
The best salesman in the world is to tell mega wealthy individuals that they need bunkers. They will make their bunkers and just leave the home empty forever is the best parlor trick in the world.
Money should never buy anyone their own set or rules
The catestrophe is ripidly approaching 🙄
dude is obsessed with Peter
The guy in the beginning is a liar, no issues with billionaires building nuclear bunkers. It's not normal behaviour. Why would multiple billionaires build bunkers if there's no problem or issue
No one is going to tell you anything Come on dude
*Central Otago
20:09 + worst liar i've ever seen.
Yeah man the documentary and all was quite interesting but more importantly your McDonald's services here in India are not quite up to the mark
With 22,000 nuclear weapons on the planet, it's easy to target 2 for Queenstown. Problem solved.
If you have information it looks like we need it, i'm sure we can reward and protect someone that provides us with the information we need. It's a pretty closed field so people with this type of info will know who they are, from what I have seen that alone could put you in danger.
That guy is just you, no bunker it's all a ruse
If I were the enemy and were in a war, the first thing I would do, is go after the money people. After all, they have cost all these problems for the Population in the first place, why should they be the ones that get away !!
If you had a bunker for your family, would you like someone else do what your doing now? poking their nose around you bunker? Sometime these bloggers just go too far, and not respect privacy anymore just so that they can out these videos! How much did you earn from ads here?
