Former Bush Housing Official Claims Government Has Spent $21 Trillion Building an Underground Doomsday ‘Base’
knowing that administration, it's in a floodplain and requires a tanker of diesel every year to keep it from being 90% underwater.
and this was done on purpose to "give Texas a seat at the table".
obvious crank shit but it is something I was kicking around in my head. if these ghouls knew they had a 100% guaranteed safe zone to go to they really have nothing to lose from nuclear war.
they already have a death drive and are bored of the modern world and it's hedonistic splendors.
many fantasize about recolonizing some empty, last-of-us abandoned world and carving homesteads and kingdoms from it (but with genetically "pure" settlers! and robots! and modern tech!)
obviously this would not be the world that awaits them but i doubt they care.
so some (and likely more as time goes by) may think doing a full MAD apocolypse is just a simple "reset" button. flip the tables, start fresh. even better if they know a few hours ahead of time.
That's my thinking as well. We also know billionaires are building these kinds of bunkers, so wouldn't exactly surprise me if the political class was doing the same.
I think that's part of the reason they're salivating so much at the idea of having AGI and self replicating machines. Because it means they could just get rid of 99% of humanity and replace them with slave robots.

Yeah it terrifies me. More than climate change I feel if they get to the point that they have competent AI that's been refined for energy efficiency and effective robotics including humanoid-like ones that the bourgeoisie know that this situation isn't sustainable and will choose to just create a new economic mode where they rule as aristocracy over what they imagine to be a glorious new age of expansion and rebuilding via their vast armies of machines and AI and some slave workers and so on and this conveniently solves climate change for them as well. I feel like the clock is ticking, I really hope the empire expires before 2030.
yeah I feel like the adage of "communism will win" sort of has a time limit. it will come down to us seizing the AI and automation as well. luckily China is rapidly accelerating ahead of the rest of the world.
the U.S. has to collapse in just the right way. not spectacularly violently as many hope, but with "something" to catch it and prevent the elite from smashing the big button. What that is, I don't know yet.
Imagine being trapped in one of these during the nuclear apocalypse with Elon. I'd take my chances outside then suffer him.
The trick is convince them it’s time to retreat to the shelter then, once they’re in, we block the egress points. (And ideally tap into the internal CCTV for a little something I like to call “The Greatest Reality TV Show of All Time.”
Don't forget about pouring cement down the ventilation ducts.
I buy the premise generally, but what makes me doubt it is if it were true, I feel like Trump would have bragged about it publicly at some point.
that would be totally in character 🤣
🤣
projection once again
JUST LIKE IN MY HECKIN FALLOUTERINOS!
So, the actual article makes it sound like it's just some
kind of shit.As for how these alleged cities and facilities are powered, Fitts said she believes the government has found a way to generate breakthrough energy that she believes is being used to keep them going.
“I’m convinced that this energy exists. If you look at a lot of the really fast ships, flying around the planet, they’re not using classical electricity,” she claimed.
You know, I assume they've done something to replace the Greenbrier, but at the same time the odds are it's just been a crony contractor money pit with no oversight because everyone stopped caring after the USSR was dissolved by Yeltsin's coup but they still kept throwing money at doomsday bunkers because what else were they gonna do?
But this in particular is just crank shit.
:classic:
Maybe this guy just saw Silo (the series) and thought it was real
Paradise is a great documentary
Crank nonsense always makes me laugh.
Like, the government somehow managed to hide the entire economic output of the country for a year being funneled into a bunker complex.
No one asked where a years worth of GDP went
I'm skeptical of the figure as well, but I can see trillions being funnelled towards something like this over decades. I mean just look at Pentagon budgets alone that can't accounts for billions each year.
the pentagon has lost "trillions" multiple times in the past 25 years...
