In these tedious times of fretting over Donald Trump and what he had for breakfast and still - still trying to prove him guilty of treason and get Hillary in - nothing has changed in terms of the threat of a coming Pandemic.
As I have said for almost 10 years now - "Not if but when". Behind the scenes people continue to stockpile weapons and ammunition for the day when some zealous conservative gets through the security at the White House and throws the nation into chaos.
North Korea readies it nuclear abilities which include submarines and is capable of setting of World War III by attacking South Korea and also the U.S.
Some people are rich. This is not news just as some people who are famous are old. Just as they secretly pursue the search for genetic renewal so Bill Gates and other multi-millionaires contine to build private shelters as well as one for entire communiites.
Developers of community shelters like
these often acquire decommissioned military bunkers and missile silos
built by the United States or Soviet governments -- sites that would
cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build today. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/20/luxury/doomsday-luxury-bunkers/index.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/20/luxury/doomsday-luxury-bunkers/index.html
Most include food supplies for a year or
more, and many have hydroponic gardens to supplement the rations. The
developers also work to create well-rounded communities with a range of
skills necessary for long-term survival, from doctors to teachers. Vicino
says Vivos received a flurry of interest in its shelters around the
2016 election from both liberals and conservatives, and completely sold
out of spaces in its community shelters in the past few weeks. One of those shelters, http://www.terravivos.com/secure/vivosxpoint.htm" rel="nofollow - Vivos xPoint ,
is near the Black Hills of South Dakota, and consists of 575 military
bunkers that served as an Army Munitions Depot until 1967. Presently
being converted into a facility that will accommodate about 5,000
people, the interiors of each bunker are outfitted by the owners at a
cost of between $25,000 to $200,000 each. The price depends on whether
they want a minimalist space or a home with high-end finishes. The
compound itself will be equipped with all the comforts of a small town,
including a community theater, classrooms, hydroponic gardens, a
medical clinic, a spa and a gym.
comment: Of course all this is rather grim from many of us who do not have millions and are trying to prep for what I am predicting will be a triple-Pandemic at the same time as the powergrid collapses and there are nukes at least South Korea or one or two set off by terrorists. Can these special shelters survive roving crowds of survivors and what will those of us near or in major populations do or should do to prepare? Much to be said about that.
