"Something wicked this way comes."

Many sense it like the hair standing up on the back of your neck.

Are these people so afraid of meeting their maker that they will pay or do anything to stay alive another decade, two? On a devastated planet?

What we need is a hardcopy database of all these facilities, so when the time comes they can be ours.

“Something wicked this way comes.”

Like, perhaps, the first administration of President Bernie Sanders? That would scare me as well. :-(

A friend who’s customers are bankers in a particular state tells me that TO A MAN, these bankers are prepared with stocks of food and supplies, and readied to be the first line of defense when whatever is going to happen, begins. Wonder what these bankers know...

Holy cow! Those pics are unreal! My ‘Lodge’ doesn’t quite look like those...but I’m not a Billionaire either!

While I will grant that something wicked this way comes, I'm trying to imagine spending the aftermath in a facility packed with people used to having what they want when they want and used to having the means to make that so.

They may be in for a rude awakening, and that would not be pretty.

STEELY DAN
New Frontier Lyrics

Yes we’re gonna have a wingding
A summer smoker underground
It’s just a dugout that my dad built
In case the reds decide to push the button down
We’ve got provisions and lots of beer
The key word is survival on the new frontier

Introduce me to that big blonde
She’s got a touch of tuesday weld
She’s wearing ambush and a french twist
She’s got us wild and she can tell
She loves to limbo, that much is clear
She’s got the right dynamics for the new frontier

Well I can’t wait ‘til I move to the city
‘til I finally make up my mind
To learn design and study overseas

Tried to read it, but the tone crosses from ‘it is prudent to be prepared for possible bad events, and here is how some people have done it” to OH MY GOD THE END IS CONING SOON WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE”.

Wise and prudent people seek information and intelligence, not sensationalism.

I grew up in the 1980’s next to a group of survivalists who dug out a bunker underground, complete with concrete machine-gun ports/slits around the entrance (underneath a grass-covered roof.

They were a lot of fun until they went broke in *that* oil bust.

Today, I “know a guy” who has refurbished an old ICBM silo in Arkansas (Titan??). The only interesting thing that he’s done (re: prepping) is to have full FLIR (handheld and mounted units). OK, maybe 2 things...he also has one of those computerized rifles that only shoots when your scope is on target: 100% accuracy at long range.

I know a couple of survivalists who have water-makers, solar power, and wind-harnessing generators on their sailboats, along with fishing gear. That seems to have a lot of promise...unless they run into a military capital ship.

Most everyone else just sort of dabbles. You’ll get a few who have bug-out bags and you’ll get some optimists who plan entirely on “sheltering in place.” Maybe both sets are imagining being able to get to a remote ranch cabin.

...but bankers?! I know them well, and none are *serious* preppers. Their idea of “roughing it” is no room service at a 3 star hotel.

We are entering a 10,000 year full-on ice age.

The world’s population will be reduced by 98% in three to ten years.

Isaiah 2:19
When the LORD rises to shake the earth, his enemies will crawl into holes in the ground. They will hide in caves in the rocks from the terror of the LORD and the glory of his majesty.

Revelation 6:15 - 16
Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

I’m glad they’re prepping. The more that are ready, the better.

The scary ones are people thinking this lifestyle and free stuff will last forever and feel entitled to what the rest of us have.

At least these billionaires are planning on taking care of themselves.

As long as they ask nothing from me... and leave me alone.

So, with everyone in the country now knowing where there will be supplies, how do these underground folks keep them out over the long term?

Men with rifles, a backhoe and a D8 will eventually prevail.

Maybe the facility for the rich will be taken over the rich’s body guards

Revelation 6

12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Well, never hurts to be prepared. Wouldn’t want to be underground for the great earthquake though.

“...paying up to $35,000 just as an entry fee to the Vivos Indiana facility...”

I don’t know. Buying into a group facility like this sounds about as wise as prepping by buying shares of gold stored in some vault in Switzerland.
