A US firm says thousands of people will book their place in post-Armageddon Britain
HUNDREDS of people have signed up to book a place in Britain’s first underground nuclear bunker, as a growing number fear the world will end as early as next year. Now a search is under way for a suitable location to build the secret shelter, which will have filtered air, its own water supply and a prison in case of unrest in post-Armageddon Britain.
The complex will also have tight security to stop desperate survivors getting in after a nuclear strike or natural catastrophe.
US doomsday company Vivos has almost completed its first underground shelter in Nebraska and has appointed the eccentric Lord Ivars, a former Hollywood bodyguard, as its director in the UK.
Ivars, who bought his title, is 42-year-old American Ivars Jaunakais, who gives his office address as the UK Centre for Homeland Security near Salisbury, Wiltshire. He rents his office from the International School for Security and Explosives Education, which runs bomb disposal courses at a 55-acre site near Salisbury Plain where it has permission to use explosives. Pictured on his website shooting a pistol, dressed in survival gear and playing with lions and tigers, Ivars said Vivos considered buying Cultybraggan, a Cold War bunker near Perth for £400,000.
It pulled out he said because it was felt the location was too well publicised. Vivos’s website says some believe the world will end on December 21 next year, in line with a Mayan prophecy said to originate in the lost city of Atlantis.
Vivos does not say it believes the prophecy but the website features a countdown calendar ticking down to the date featured in the Hollywood blockbuster, 2012.

No sir... Also when... when they go down into the mine everyone would still be alive. There would be no shocking memories, and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead!
One would think that the panic freaks would have already completed this bunker. If you are just in the planning stages and you believe 2012 is the end date for civilization, it looks like you will die with the rest of us.
Ahh...so THIS is what Mike went off to do after he left ‘Spaced’.
Gotta love free enterprise.
y2k like gay....
Silly, if you ask me. When God decides to end the world, nothing we do to try to escape it will work.
“It pulled out he said because it was felt the location was too well publicized.”
With no OPSEC you are looking at a senario which will be like that ‘Twilight Zone’ espisode where people are fighting to get into a neighbors shealter:
“The Shelter”

Odd thing is, Jesus Christ Himself makes it emmenently clear that nobody, not even He, knows the "day or the hour" (of the apocalypse). This was His euphemism for, "nobody knows the day, hour, month, year, decade, or even century). If Jesus were merely informing us that we will not know the precise hour or exact day, but that we can know the week, or month or year, (of the end), then He would not have bothered saying anything about this at all. God does not waste words like people do. Jesus was so clear in telling us that we WILL be caught totally unawares, that he declared: "People will be eating, drinking and marrying during those days". Furthermore, Jesus did not tell people to "gather up food, bunkers and provisions to prepare for this day". We prepare for the end by dying with a clean soul, having repented of our sins and having made amends to God and man as best we can.
Even more oddly, Scripture further says that "those who remain living will envy the dead, they will dash their heads against the stones", (paraphrase). So as for me I'll not be storing up food and provisions, buying gold or paying for underground bunkers and weapons just so I can live a few days longer in such great agony and misery that I will "envy the dead". If some folks believe the end is near, what they really need to do is repent, turn back to God and pray for themselves and others. Leave the gold coins and the year's supply of food to Glenn Beck and the Mormons.
Those crazy Mayans!
Apocalypse means ‘removal of the veil’, usually called the Revelation.
If indeed we are talking about the final spasms of the world before Jesus comes back and takes over, no bunker or disaster plan will help.
People are grasping for secure things like gold, food storage, ammo, generators, bunkers. None of that will be any good against God’s wrath. You can shoot people, but you can’t shoot demons and angels.
The only thing people can do is to ensure their eternal life by receiving Christ.
“So as for me I’ll not be storing up food and provisions, buying gold or paying for underground bunkers and weapons just so I can live a few days longer in such great agony and misery that I will ‘envy the dead.’”
But as you note, we can’t — CAN’T — know when the REAL “End” will arrive. However, we can see some nastiness coming up soon. So preparing for that does make sense IMHO, because after all it might not be “The End,” but it might be pretty nasty. In fact, a level of nastiness such as we haven’t seen for quite a while. And I for one have done some minor things to prepare for that, probably should do more. Of course, if it is The End, my preparations won’t mean squat, but that’s OK...
***It pulled out he said because it was felt the location was too well publicised.***
The least used public buildings (which stone constructions have already survived for centuries and through the WWII blitzkreig)are, of course, abandoned Christian churches.
Interesting, the survivalists’ list of essential supplies never mentions the Word of God.
I remember as a kid the fallout shelter panic of fifty years back. How to build, how to stock, not much on the situational ethics of how to defend. The Twilight Zone episode “The Shelter” was instructive and not the only one about postnuclear aftermath.
Stockage and supply to me seems to mean that one will die of unnatural causes later rather than sooner. Better to be prepared to commend one’s spirit into the hands of the Savior.
I’ve been doing some research into “survivalism”, or at least “preapardnessism” and pretty much everything I read makes a point of advising to always have a Bible. Maybe it’s just my sources, but the prevailing thought is that peace of mind is a very major issue in being able to survive and faith in God is the path to that peace of mind. Sermon off.
