We drove down the so-called Extraterrestrial Highway last summer. I came to realize that Area 51 is a good 30 miles from any highways and the only access to the whole complex is along guarded roads that probably have locked gates on them in more than one location. So the logistics of 200,000 people getting into Area 51 is not very easy to imagine. If there was anything there to protect then the guards of those secrets would have a fairly large amount of time to increase security or move things away. So I don’t imagine this could possibly lead to anything other than a bunch of confused city people trying to navigate their way around endless unmarked gravel roads in broiling dusty salt flats. I would love to have the tire repair franchise at the little town at the end of the ET Highway.
Not to mention the perimeter around the base is huge and there is only open desert. Imagine a modern army stopping a charge from a medieval army who only has swords and spears.
The threat would be one of those “hold my beer”
instances. Security is serious. 5 feet inside
the wire and you’re dead. Others have tried.
I bet on the big day about 40 comic book guys will show up half bent on Jim Beam and lemonade. Big bonfire Everybody gets runnoft by the cops.
Base perimeter no issue; I will be attending via puncture-proof hot air balloon which is also fully stealthy.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here illegally.
These nutballs have no idea what sort of pain is in store for any of them that cross that perimeter line.
They shot some udiot back in January, I believe.
With the motto (in a similar thread) “they can’t get us all”, they will get a close frontal view at how automatic weapons work - and I’m sure the guards have enough ammo to give each a round or two or three.
There is no humor ... only the sounds of rapid gun fire followed by silence (after the screaming stops).
Oh, this is fun. Obviously it’s a joke.
But the conversations under the FB event might be fun to read:
FYI
It is Groom Lake, not Area 51.
Groom Lake is the airbase and surrounding area,
Area 51 is the airspace above it.
The Nevada Range (“Red Flag”) is carved up in chunks and numbered and Area 51 happens to be the number of the airspace above Groom Lake.
Apparently the Democrats are really desperate to find “anyone” who can run against President Trump.
Good luck to ‘em. Use of lethal force is authorized on Groom Lake.
Wandering around in the desert a 3 am is a sure fire way to get injured or snake bit. This is going to be fun to observe.
Set phasers to kill!
Much of the real secret stuff was moved out of Area 51 a long time ago. You don’t keep that stuff where everyone is looking.
“I stormed Area 51 and all I got was this anal probe.”
And you're right - teams "with authorization" have exactly zero sense of humor when it comes to security. Zero. I have a theory, born out by only a small sample size, that goes like this. Since these folks are so serious "at work" when it comes to non-security stuff they often have a sense of humor that is um "different" and maybe a little off-putting to "regular" people. Maybe as a way of blowing off stress...
Perhaps but the optics of area 51 security forces mowing down 200 thousand people might bring the black suits out of the shadows. Could they kill a million people focused on stripping away such secrets without cluing in even the president on what they have been doing?
That is what the deep state and the black suits are really afraid of...they couldn’t stop millions of fully awakened people from tearing away the secret edifices without “help from somewhere”!
