Something strange is happening beneath our feet here in the US, once land of the free. While the rest of us are being told by Trumper to tighten our belts, prepare for economic hardship, and accept whatever chaos the future holds, America's shadow elite are quietly preparing for something big. And they're not inviting us.

Welcome to Mount Weather, the infamous FEMA stronghold buried in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, the same facility where congressional leaders were whisked away following the 9/11 attacks. This secretive underground base has long been rumoured to be one of the crown jewels of the U.S. government's "Continuity of Government" (COG) program, a hidden fortress where the ruling class can ride out nuclear war, biological attack, EMP or even an asteroid impact. Now, more than two decades later, Mount Weather is getting a mysterious "upgrade."

But what kind of upgrade? That's classified. Contractors working on the site have top-secret security clearances. No details are being released to the public. Even members of Congress aren't talking.

  1. And yet, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem personally visited the site just weeks ago. She posed for photos with FEMA's heavily armed security force and the facility's full-time fire brigade. Why would the head of Homeland Security make a high-profile visit to an ultra-secure underground facility unless something urgent, or imminent, was at stake?

We are told Mount Weather is just one piece of a vast web of underground sanctuaries. Another well-known node in the network is the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado, five acres of hardened, nuclear-proof infrastructure carved inside a granite mountain. It was built during the Cold War to protect NORAD's command center from Soviet missiles. Today, it's still operational, still funded, and still under military control.

But these are just the known facilities.

According to Catherine Austin Fitts, former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, these visible bunkers are merely the tip of the iceberg. Fitts claims that trillions of dollars in unaccounted-for government spending, an eye-watering $21 trillion, according to research by MSU economist Mark Skidmore, may have been funnelled into building a hidden network of subterranean cities, connected by high-speed tunnels and powered by exotic energy technologies unknown to the public.

Think that sounds like science fiction? Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host and now a lightning rod for unsanctioned truths, says he personally knows a contractor who worked on one such base, allegedly linked directly to the White House itself. According to this insider, what appears to be an ordinary power transformer on Constitution Avenue is actually a covert egress tunnel from the executive mansion!

What other secrets lie beneath our capital? Fitts goes further. These bunkers, she claims, aren't just panic rooms for the political elite. They're staging grounds for black operations and a secret space program, an alternative civilisation hidden in plain sight, funded by the theft of taxpayer money and hidden behind a wall of national security.

She's not alone in this belief. Whistleblowers, former military personnel, and underground researchers have long whispered of high-speed maglev trains, breakaway technologies, and underground bases even beneath the ocean floor. The public is kept in the dark while the elite prepare for "continuity" — not of our lives, but of their power.

So why now? Why the sudden upgrades? Why the security clearance lockdowns? Is a catastrophe on the horizon? A war? A false-flag event? A celestial body hurtling toward Earth? Are they preparing for an extinction-level event… and not telling us?

The public has no seat on the escape shuttle. We are not being invited into the bunkers. When the sirens wail, it will be too late. The elites will descend into their hardened shelters, and the rest of us will be left behind, to face the fire. Or, whatever.

What you are seeing now is the quiet construction of the lifeboats, and they're being built in secret, funded with US tax money money, while "we, the people" arebeing told to trust the system and keep scrolling.

It's time to ask the questions no one in power wants to answer: What are they preparing for, and why are we not allowed to know? Oh, as far as I can ascertain, the Aussie elites have nothing grand like that, so there is a bit of your famous egalitarianism for you! But, there are rumours of a few underground bunkers in Canberra for the elites, but the info is all classified. Probably when the SHTF no-one will know where to go!
