is this just a load of BUNKer?

Now, if this is true, then someone other than
Those crazy redneck preppers
sees sufficient evidence that the sociopolitical/economic future is sufficiently uncertain to justify preparing for chaotic times.

I wonder what they are seeing.
Or, maybe it's all Photoshop and BS.
What say you?

Future is actually certain

When the SHTF these folks will be barbecuing each other on their fancy gas grills in their expensive bunker, instead of over a campfire in the woods. End result will be the same. When yer cooked yer cooked.

Nobody survives. One second after you were born you were already dying. That's the deal. All the money in the world won't change that.

Reply #2 - 06/20/15 at 17:32:00 I THINK you are right that the train wreck can't be avoided, but, IF enough people wake up, Maybe things could be different. The direction has been downhill, but it was all just accidents and unintended consequences,,, Eisenhower warned us. It's not over.

Everyone should, to whatever extent their means and abilities allow, prepare for short term disruptions in their normal lives, whether those disruptions are caused by social, political, financial, or natural events. Such preparation is simple prudence.

Trying to prepare for the kind of apocalyptic event that I think the creator of the bunker in the story is envisioning is a fools errand. This place is basically just a very well appointed tomb.

But if they can survive longer than the masses.... And many of those who are doing it are likely part of the reason FOR that ugly future. Whether they are or not, they will be targeted by the Have Nots. But military thinking agrees, a cave is a tomb. Get to the air intake, ,,,

Unless they plan a future after the SHTF all they are doing is postponing the inevitable. The entire "shoot first" mind set of preppers just makes me wonder how anybody will survive. Any rebuilding that would be done would need to be peaceful not at the muzzle of a firearm. Yeah, it's a lot of BUNKer preying on people's fears.

Suckers being suckered, what? you say..

People will be needed to kow-tow to them (ie.. fix food, clean, wash their clothes ect...) who's going to feed/house the hired help?

oh and as a military type, this got me...

"There will also be an above-ground power plant, "

Food below.... power plant held hostage....

Also...

"members will fly to nearby airports in Germany where private helicopters will escort them to the complex"

There won't be any "flights" during an apocalyptic event, unless you secure your own. And they would still have to have transport to an airport, yeah right. An who has a runway on their property in the U.S. capable enough to have a international flight aircraft available? I guess the rich would, but you have to get home to get to it.

Rich people being suckered... I have to smile when I see it....

They should be.

And they are trying to solve the problem by doing the only thing they know how to do. Throwing money at it.

Those of us who don't have much to lose, well.....
