In the event of a nuclear strike, President Joe Biden could be rushed to a little-known complex inside a mountain near Blue Ridge Summit, which sits along the Pennsylvania-Maryland state line, according to Newsweek.

The Raven Rock Mountain Complex, which is near Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania, "is this massive, hollowed-out mountain. It's a free-standing city ... with individual buildings, three-story buildings, built inside of this mountain,” journalist Garrett Graff, the author of the 2017 book Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government's Secret Plan to Save Itself — While the Rest of Us Die, told NPR in 2017. “It has everything that a small city would — there's a fire department there, there's a police department, medical facilities, dining halls."

The bunker dates back to the 1940s and wasn’t completed until the 1950s, all under the backdrop of the Cold War. “Site R,” as it’s nicknamed, was designed to ensure the continuity of government in the event of a nuclear attack.

Can we lock them int there without outside communication?

[Jyotishi]

Do they offer guided tours for tourists there?

[Gene Eric]

lol — we’ll first need to trick ‘em by sounding the egermancy alarm.

[kosciusko51]

Yeah, that was the Greenbrier Hotel.

Can we lock them int there without outside communication?

Better yet, phony communication, so they stay inside thinking there is chaos above as we rebuild everything without them.

The pearl clutching lefties are whacking out rants based on movies from the radical left, and they want to surrender to third world commie holes and be their slaves. Funny thing, though. That’s exactly the behavior that will invite communist bully nations to launch nukes sooner. ;D

I wouldn't give a bucket of warm spit for a spot in any of those bunkers. Top Secret? Maybe the contents, but not the locations. The Russians have all of ours mapped. We have all of theirs mapped. It's a false sense of security. It's better protection than the rest of the population is afforded, but lots of sparsely populated areas will get by just fine. The stragglers will be mopped up by ground troops if the intention is total extermination.

So glad the guys who start the armageddon will be safe and comfortable when it comes. Where’s our bunker?

[Myrddin]

Horrible. If these idiots get us into a nuclear war, we should at least get a new government out of the deal.

Klaus Schwab is waiting to inflict that new government on the remains.

[tet68]

Let me guess...it’s in a basement in Delaware and is decorated like a Baskin-Robbins?

[SuperLuminal]

Need a new law that stipulates that, in the case of imminent nuclear war, the entire federal government (elected officials) be required to camp out next to the Washington monument for the duration of the war...

My cousin worked inside that complex during the Vietnam War. He was in the Air Force and became a computer programmer when he became disabled.

The government gave him a house to live in that they owed in the Battlefield Park. I was young and used to ride my bike around the battlefield.

Seems like forever ago.

Raven Rock is a location in Fallout 3. You can visit it. Among other things it’s the home of President John Henry Eden (a supercomputer with Malcolm McDowell’s voice).

So as this foolishness and incompetence goes on, and all of us perish, good to know that those who caused the end of humanity will be safe. Thanks Newsweak.

[SaveFerris]

Exactly

[SaveFerris]

Yep

[Herakles]

Then we could seal it shut and start on repairs to the economy this dufus has caused!

[Long Jon No Silver]

I’m thinking of the Morlocks,who went deeper, instead of emerging into the light

[Long Jon No Silver]

Do you have a nuclear war survival plan you can share. You seem confident it would be a walk in the park.

[The Duke]

If that bunker is ever needed, I’ll volunteer to stay outside and guard the air intake. :)
