Official Washington flocking to Doomsday Camps

by Paul Bedard | March 19, 2018 08:16 AM

A building network of backwoods doomsday camps around the country are pulling in members from affluent areas and even Washington national security officials as the threats grow from nuclear war, an EMP or virus attack.

Called Fortitude Ranch, the outposts promise protection and a year’s supply of food for those unable to build their own bunker. What’s more, until a crisis strikes, they are being used for prepper training and vacations.

“We’re seeing members from all the three letter agencies,” said Fortitude creator Drew Miller, a retired Air Force colonel and intelligence officer, in a reference to the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

He called an attack or even a weather-related electromagnetic pulse shutdown of the electric grid “inevitable,” and a driving force in his project.

One of his members from the Baltimore area, speaking on background, said that he and others joined after “waking up” to the potential of a national crisis from an attack, financial meltdown or political violence. “For most of us, something rattled our cages and woke us up,” he said.

Through memberships and his own cryptocurrency called “Fortitudes,” Miller has raised about $400,000 and established a ranch in West Virginia and Colorado with 10 others planned. An open house at the West Virginia ranch is scheduled for April 21-23.

He said that for the West Virginia ranch, “most members are professional Washington area folks. They don’t have time to do this own their own.” The cost is about $1,000 per person per year to join.

The more I watch western civilization disintegrate, the more I’m convinced that Fallout is a training simulation designed to deal with what’s to come.

So the, ‘three letter agencies’ PUKES start a Nuclear War as a way to oust PDJT, and then are first in line to have their lousy @sses saved, and screw the rest of us?

Go it!

And...exactly as we knew it would go down, of course. *SPIT*

GMTA! I didn’t read through all of the responses, but I said just what you did in my post, too!

If they think this represents a sufficient hidey-hole they haven’t thought the matter through at all. Let them throw their money away.

Oh, I agree. Absolutely.

Yet another reason to live deep in the Driftless (Hilly as H3ll) portion of Wisconsin. On top of a hill. Good sight lines S, E & W; N needs a little work. ;)
