For later.
We’re doomed?
Two things that definately do not go together:
1. Building a TOP SECRET Bunker in your Basement
2. Posting plans, photos, and instructions of same on the Internet.
Hey, I’ve been wanting one but have been claiming it would be a tornado shelter.
If Obama wins, and he clearly stole the election, I will begin preparing. I will stock up on what needs to be gathered, and I will make associations with those of like mind. I will wait and see the nation's response to full-fledged socialist rule. If they progress to Chavez-style, and look ready to make it permanent by suppressing opposition, I will become defiant and work to reverse socialism by whatever means are available.
If he wins and he doesn't cheat, I will work on the political process, but keep an eye out for repression. I don't mind losing a fair fight, so long as we still have a chance to convince our fellow citizens that we have made a terrible mistake. I think they would wake up from their stupor and realize that about a month into an Obama presidency. But that's the point when the thugocracy swings into action, attacking the dissenters, propagandizing with the MSM, shutting down talk radio, sending the FBI after internet posters, until people are afraid to do anything. We have to be ready before that happens.
We are really close to losing our Republic and our Freedom. We can "hope" that Obama is just a naive socialist, a Carter. But I think the reality will prove more sinister, and that we will find he has no respect for this country's people, it's traditions, culture or freedom, and that his main goal is to impose his will, and remake America into a socialist, weak and submissive nation.
Even better would be if McCain can pull this out. We'll find out in a few weeks.
Just about the only real saving grace will be that the rank and file US Armed Forces will not move in lockstep with the Obamaites.
I live too much in the suburbs and my house has no basement and is 36 years old. We are, however, looking at “hiding places in the mountains” and starting a gun collection.
Intersting. To bad I don’t own any type of properity.
Building a bunker is only a temporary solution. sooner or later the jack boots will find you just like the army found Saddam Hussein. I live on a boat in a place far far away. I am mobile, and can sustain myself without visits to the supermarket. I make, or trap my own water, catch fish, and have a store of non perishable grains, beans, pasta, and canned food. I figure that if all hell breaks loose, I will survive.
My daughter almost bought a house with a bunker a year ago, and lost it to a higher offer. Well, it used to be a bunker. Back in the 50’s, the neighbors on the block helped the then-homeowner build a large bomb shelter-type room under his home. When my daughter looked at it, it had changed hands several times, and the bunker had been converted to a very cool home theater, carpeted from head to toe, with a giant tv and those huge, comfortable theater chairs sprinkled about.
There was no claustophobia feeling whatsoever, the ceiling was quite high and the room was large. I’ll bet there are many homes from that era with those types of rooms.
