A $21 trillion underground Doomsday base?

This can’t be real, can it?

Accounting would be hard to conceal. Construction workers not saying anything. On and on. I watched the Netflix documentary on 911. Where they went had equipment that looked like a 1970s phone company office.

I find it hard to believe

I’m good friends with a guy whose company does major civil projects. Lots of underground and underwater things. Tunnels, bridges, you get the idea.

And that’s a fairly small community of an industry.

Some years ago playing golf, we were talking about the underground work that happened in DC after 9/11 around the Capitol complex. If you’ve been there since then, you know that the visitor’s center is underground. I think it might actually have been planned prior to 9/11.

He told me that there were classified federal underground projects happening as well - and that they were bigger than the Capitol project and not put out to bid. So his company wasn’t working on them.

Now…$21T is a preposterous number. I absolutely do not believe that. The entire cost of the Big Dig, even adjusted for inflation, would be something like $30B. And that was a massive excavation project.

But would I believe they have a big underground complex we don’t know about? Yes, I would.

Didn't Cheney go underground under the White House right after 9/11? I thought I'd read that somewhere - he and the staff there went to some bomb shelter there?

The number has to be BS. The resources to perform a project of that budget don’t exist - over any timeframe. Even if the funds were available.
yeah, it has to be nonsense. you can't hide 3 times the annual budget. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the federal government has doomsday bunkers for important people already set up, and they'd be stupid if they didn't, but the idea of spending $6.5T on them in one year is just so preposterous, it can't be taken seriously.

I do not. Does The Greenbrier have a doomsday shelter?
Pretty cool place and tour. As the story goes, somewhat built “out in the open,” but in such a way it could be barricaded from the hotel. Spartan facilities. Designed for Washington’s government to be transferred, with, IIRC, a section designed to fit a Congress as if in session. I saw it 40 years ago.

The tour guide took us to the “outside” entrance, away from the hotel. Told us the story that military guards were to be stationed there to shoot/prevent family members from being brought in during any emergency. Maybe he was embellishing. But it was eerie.

Atlanta has had an underground city (400,000 square feet) since the 1960s and was sold for only 34.6 million in 2017.

Yeah, I remember going into it after it was renovated and reopened. Maybe early or mid 90s? Had shops and restaurants and such.

It was a cool and unique thing -- but also a financial failure.

Speaking of financial failures.

Visited Atlanta Underground after touring Rotunda, Florida which was a financial failure in which I had invested.

Pretty hard to find a project in Florida which didn't eventually succeed, but I managed to find one.

0% chance it is real. She previously claimed that this 21 mil came from the militarization of the nation since 9/11. https://www.nationalpriorities.org/analysis/2021/state-insecurity-cost-militarization-911/

She's also hideous to look at.
