This is where the government will hide during a nuclear war
NY Post ^ | June 12 2017 | Susannah Cahalan

Maybe Doomsday preppers aren’t so crazy after all.

As nuclear threats loom from countries like Iran and North Korea, the US is knocking the dust off decades-old bunkers intended to protect government officials — and even start a new civilization — in the case of just such a nightmare event.

Journalist Garrett Graff takes readers through the 60-year history of the government’s secret Doomsday plans to survive nuclear war in his painstakingly researched book “Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government’s Secret Plan to Save Itself — While the Rest of Us Die” (Simon & Schuster), out now.

He focuses on the Cold War-era government bunkers across the country that were built to house the President and various Washington elites — members of a so-called “shadow government” in the worst nuclear Armageddon scenario.

This News article’s a few years old, but with Biden waging war against Russia and threatening war against China, the article is relevant today.

Injured, decorated WW II Bob Dole famously blamed the Democrat Party for all of US’s 20th century wars. Now it looks like another Democrat president is flirting with war on a whole new scale - thermonuclear

It’s disappointing to see so many Freepers supporting Biden and his warmongering. You’d think Trump and MAGA had never come along - it’s as if many Freepers are still living in the age of Bush-McCain-Cheney.

Hope we don’t get a catastrophic war because of it. Eastern Ukraine isnt worth a nuclear war. (But at least the elites will survive in theirvluxury underground fortresses, so that’s the one silver lining while the rest of us fry for Ukraine)

Reading One Second After, and the subsequent novels was very eye opening. Granted it was fiction, but the scenarios he paints are really too feasible.

And in the last novel, he addresses how that the government had warning of the EMPs and evacuated certain, select government players, that were, IMO the equivalent of the DS. The subversive, elite class who only looked out for themselves and wanted to be in power after they got done destroying this country.

They have to start a war. Their poll numbers are down.

Revelation 6:12-17 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

It won't help them in the least if they save their bodies and yet lose their own souls.

Guaranteeing that those who start the war will have the best chance of surviving it. Something for those of us who survive to remember.

A government bunker only works if it’s super-secret. If the enemy knows where it is, they’ll bomb the surface and you’ll be stuck in a tomb.

Remind us all again, which foreign country has Biden sent US troops to invade?

The Rand Hymn

Oh, the Rand Corporation’s the boon of the world
They think all day long for a fee
They sit and play games about going up in flames
For counters they use you and me, honey bee
For counters they use you and me

It’s so nice to know we have Rand on our side
We’ll always have good old Rand around
A zillion will be fried out, but in some neat hideout
Rand will be safe under ground, praise the Lord
Rand will be safe under ground

With a stroke of the pen, they can change us from men
Into numbers that flash on thе wall
These brainy heroеs transform us to zeros
So who gives a damn if we fall, after all
Who gives a damn if we fall

Their superior genes will be safe behind screens
With the rest of our line doomed to die
We’ll be all sorted out, past a shadow of doubt
By the all-wise electronic eye; bow down
To the mighty electronic eye

They will rescue us all from a fate worse than death
With a touch of the push-button hand
We’ll be saved at one blow from the designated foe
But who’s going to save us from Rand, dear Lord
Who’s going to save us from Rand

Pete Seeger

I like the cut of your jib!

They have to come out sometime, and there will be no serfs to serve them. I hope they're S.P.E.C.I.A.L

It will be interesting to see how they spin it to blame the coming nuclear war on Trump.

Deep State/NWO overlords need that war. That’s why, even though Trump won, they would not seat him for his second term. One of the many reasons.

If your city gets incinerated so that we can make sure Russia doesn’t rule over Donbas, it will be worth it, right?

Never mind that Russia ruled over Donbas for centuries and generations of Americans came and went without knowing the difference. Forget all that and support Biden’s crusade in Ukraine.

“About to crash?”

We are like Wile-coyote who just ran off the cliff—hanging in the air. The end result is not in question. We are simply paused for comic effect.
