GREAT question!!

"...subterranean rulers."

Well, as conspiracy theories go, at least this one has an interesting theme. [Insert sinister music here.]

Possibly you spend too much time playing with your gun.

...these subterranean rulers.

Are they Morlocks or something?

Why is it that our rulers are afraid of losing control, even in death. Or shall we know how much they love us, that they are going to provide us with continued control, after elected officials are attacked? A sensible plan, utilizing our greatest strength, the states and county govts, would seem to be more in order. I can understand a need to keep the military chain of command working, but the bureaucrats? Will they enslave the enemy with red tape?

"i wonder if America's armed citizens are considered allies or enemies by these subterranean rulers."

How much "ruling" - of the vast contiguous region called Red Nation - can be done by a fistful of people in a few faraway underground bunkers?

I'm willing to say it. Even with 100% of the postal infrastructure and effectively-100% of the postal personnel, snailmail in the Washington area is already seriously delayed by the need to irradiate it after those fistful of anthrax attacks. While "continuity of government" plans always had comical stuff like the change-of-address cards for use after nuclear war with Russia, imagine what snailmail service would be like with all the post offices and most of their personnel in even one major metropolitan area gone forever - along with much of the snailmailed items then in their custody.

"Continuity of (federal) government" is a joke. As someone else on a Southernist mailing list put it this week, the likely aftermath of Washington being nuked by a "rogue state" with one precious nuke to choose where to use will be to free Red Nation from Washington forever!

The flag of freedom.
