You gonna have to be a bit more specific than that.
When I think "Swiss", "Germany" and "government intelligence agencies" then the things that come to my mind are Crypto AG [0], how the BND started out as a CIA OP [1] and how the very same BND seems to be more interested in pleasing American interests than protecting Germans [2].
Which is btw the same BND who cooperates with the NSA [3] to help them tap directly into one of the world's largest IXP De-CIX, completely legal in Germany [4].
The US made sure of that by pressuring the West German government into watering down the G-10 law [5] during the cold war.
So whatever "delusions" you are referring there to, you have to be a bit more concrete about them.
