I think another of the major flaws in their plans is they assume when at SHTF situation happens, will they be able to get to their Armageddon bunker.

Zuckerberg’s Bunker is in Hawaii, it might be impossible to get there in a real SHTF situation.

Having a bunker, bug out location, or some other place to get to in an emergency is a good idea but the location needs to be a reasonable distance that you could get to in a number of ways even if you have walk there.

“If you must do it you better have a lot of bodyguards—and a lot of trust in them.”

I think it’s good that these rich people are building dooms day shelters for the people they think will be protecting them.

Israel will end up all alone. Every country will be against Israel.

That’s how it ends (and begins)

Cause they can. Really when you have billions of dollars dropping 100 million on something you’ll probably never use but might is nothing. If you could spend $1 to have a place to go if things went very sideways would you? Equivalently that’s what they’re doing. These guys throw 10, 50, 100 million dollars into all kinds of little side things that might do nothing, or might not. It’s all just quarters in the wishing well for them.

Seems like they already are alone. The USA is proving a false friend and the rest of the west a true enemy

[Israel will end up all alone. Every country will be against Israel.]

Yep.

The Antichrist and the world’s armies will try to finish Israel off.

I’m sure they scoff and mock what the Scriptures have to say.

Their blood will rise to the horse’s bridles for nearly 200 square miles.

But no, they’re not about to fear Almighty God and his designated Messiah Jesus Christ.

Until He’s about to finish them off.

Their mighty weapons will be useless in saving them.

Nor will the wealth of the rich save the rich people.

Bingo. They’re the ones creating the chaos.

Their security will turn on them within the week. If they do somehow survive, the bigger badder elite will turn on them.

“And if they hired armed guards to protect these compounds, how could they ensure their loyalty? (Would you, for example, withhold food from them, or make them wear disciplinary collars?) “

Yeahhhh...I’m sensing these billionaires ain’t gonna make it in that world very long.

Or the rich boys security decides they are tired of being treated like crap and offs the rich boy and takes it all for himself. Some probably haven’t thought that far ahead, but some have and are probably considering AI to do their security work. We saw how that turned out in the Battlestar Galactica series why wouldn’t it do the same in real life.

Let them build their expensive tombs...

False Dilemma Fallacy!

The cadre of stormtroopers protecting my hidden mountain fortress

  1. have been outfitted obedience collars, and
  2. have been genetically manipulated so as to be unable to produce lysine.

Romans 1:20-21 (KJV):

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

It won’t be the bigger badder elite they really have to worry about, people are essentially the same no matter skin color, religion, nationality, etc.

People will protect and kill for their immediate family when it comes down to survival.

Even the biggest and baddest should worry most about the peons who serve them, including their most trusted security officers.

all true ... OTOH, it’ll take a crew of hi and low tech workers to maintain said AI security systems ... there’s the hi tech itself, and there’s also the mechanical systems, sensors, actuators, and presumably automatic weapons, which also need a specialist to maintain ... so, maybe fewer security guards, but more stationary engineer types ... and also, keep in mind that most of the tech and maintenance folks have families, so said billionaire compound could start to resemble a feudal village ...

singular survival on a desert island type of situation IS possible, but standard of living will be reduced to caves, firewood and spear-fishing ...
