(Bugout.news) The world’s elite are quietly exiting the big cities and building underground mega-bunkers in preparation for…something.
As reported by Infowars, though tens of millions of Americans are actually feeling quite good about the prospect of a Trump presidency, the elite are not sharing their enthusiasm. Many are building luxury bunkers at a pace not seen since perhaps the heady days of the Cold War.
Infowars notes:
So why are so many among the elite preparing for an imminent “apocalypse” when tens of millions of other Americans are anticipating a new era of peace and prosperity? Are they smarter than most of the rest of us, or are they simply being paranoid?
Earlier, WorldNetDaily published a story noting that the super-wealthy were quietly migrating out of the major cities. The site noted:
Widespread media reports as well as independent investigations from groups such as New World Wealth suggest wealthy people around the globe are quietly moving away from major cities because of fears of social instability. Increasing crime, terrorism and rising racial tensions have all been identified as factors driving the exodus. Even the Daily Beast reported the introduction of large numbers of Muslim refugees into Europe has made once prosperous areas fraught with danger, in the opinion of some security experts.
And just a few weeks ago a Hollywood Reporter article entitled “Panic, Anxiety Spark Rush to Build Luxury Bunkers for L.A.’s Superrich” talked about how “Oscar winners, sports stars and Bill Gates are building lavish bunkers” because of their anxiety about what is coming next.
An excerpt:
Given the increased frequency of terrorist bombings and mass shootings and an under-lying sense of havoc fed by divisive election politics, it’s no surprise that home security is going over the top and hitting luxurious new heights. Or, rather, new lows, as the average depth of a new breed of safe haven that occupies thousands of square feet is 10 feet under or more. Those who can afford to pull out all the stops for so-called self-preservation are doing so — in a fashion that goes way beyond the submerged corrugated metal units adopted by reality show “preppers” — to prepare for anything from nuclear bombings to drastic climate-change events. Gary Lynch, GM at Rising S Bunkers, a Texas-based company that specializes in underground bunkers and services scores of Los Angeles residences, says that sales at the most upscale end of the market — mainly to actors, pro athletes and politicians (who require signed NDAs) — have increased 700 percent this year compared with 2015, and overall sales have risen 150 percent.
This doesn’t seem to match other trends – such as the slow-down in sales of emergency foods and so-called “prepper” gear. Plus, it doesn’t match the enthusiasm of the general public or the stock market, which has reacted very positively to Trump’s victory.
In an interview with WND, Carl Gallups, author of Be Thou Prepared, said:
“I think that the rich and elite are becoming increasingly aware of the dangerous and potentially unstable world in which we now reside,” he warned. “Massive instances of civil unrest, even in America, are becoming a very real possibility. Internal terror attacks, swelling illegal alien populations, an influx of Islamic refugees, increasing racial discord, ambushing police officers, the rule of law continually being trampled by the political elite and an almost complete collapse of trust in the mainstream media – all of this has led to widespread cynicism and distrust among the population as a whole.”
Gallups noted “the rich usually have deeper connections to reliable information and prediction sources, and most of them have the means to take immediate action.”
Normally, it’s pretty easy to beat up on the super-wealthy but this time around they may have it exactly right. Time will tell. In the meantime, keep your Plans A, B, C, and D updated and ready to implement.
