What do you mean by "s***ing"? If it means what I think then thank you for the compliment. As for all the other stuff - I just don't freakout over a every little dog bark or floor creak, but hey this is America and you have that right.

"A wise man hears of trouble comming and prepares for it. If it does not arrive, he is still much better off because of it."

Yes, however....

"A freeper who does the same, is mocked and laughed at by his peers, and from that day forward branded with the scarlet tinfoil"

[WALLACE212]

Exactly what it sounds like. What a good chunk of the country does every time this weeks new "terror alert" comes out. What happens when you realize that the play has started and you aren't in costume yet.

In fact, if you had bothered to read the article, they mentioned that these bureaucrats would be civilians.

Dick Cheney's a civilian, last I checked.

You've gotten really funny over the last week, what with boycotting Dell and getting worked up over prudent plans to maintain services in an emergency. And your fellow sittin'-in-my-underwear-on-the-shortwave bunker buddies high five each other like a bunch of high school sophomores.

More evidence that FR is turning into a rubber room.

People in the cities will be hurt the most.
God said "Spread out....."
Wow. His knowledge is omnipotant, isn't it?

[WALLACE212]

Sorry to disappoint, but I am fully dressed.

A good self-barometer is always who one's enemies are. Looks like you are right again!

Yeah, it fills me with a snuggly warm fuzzy feeling everytime he finds me posting and starts ranting against my position. In fact, he's never, ever agreed with me (pubically on a thread or in a FreepMail) about anything. And when I see his constant, almost JBT (hmmmm, that's something to think about) spin on politics, I know that I have stepped down the right path when he does oppose me.

More evidence that FR is turning into a rubber room.

Because as we know, anybody who questions any government policy at all is *INSANE*!

Well, that was the argument in the Soviet Union, but I'm sure you're well versed in that government's workings.

Yeah, sorry to notice that department heads and less than the full allotment of Congress is being planned for in order to actually preserve our government, as opposed to setting up a little cabal of Napoleon's to run our lives. My bad.

Heh.

[Paraclete]

That's the problem with the liberal mentality: shortsightedness paired with a lack of reality. Even though all is well one day, doesn't mean evil won't strike the next. Somewhere they got the idea that civilization is on a path to enlightenment and perfection -- unfortunately as untrue today as it was in the Dark Ages.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

...these subterranean rulers.

Are they Morlocks or something?

[sinkspur]

You speak of the continuation of vital services during a dire emergency as if human beings have to be mirrored like disk drives at a disaster recovery site.

I knew when I heard this that the kooks would be out in force with the NWO nonsense.

You, you don't even know what this is about, apparently. But, you'll run around and scream about it anyway.

[PhiKapMom]

I couldn't believe the pictures I saw coming out of Offutt with the communist visitors during the clinton years. In fact, I still cannot believe it now that they allowed people I consider the enemy to visit so many of our installations!

[PhiKapMom]

I agree 100% with what you have stated! Believe he wanted us taken out and everything given to the UN which he planned to head. With Gore in office, he would have been closer to success!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for the information.

[TigersEye]

You don't need no stinkin tin-foil hat...

That's right. And unmarked black helicopters weren't real until the government said they were.

[lentulusgracchus]

What a coincidence......about two weeks ago, a show aired in Houston revealing for the first time the existence of a similar facility in Montgomery County, north of the city. Where all the city officials, oil millionaires, their wives and diamonds were supposed to go in case we all got turned into crispy critters; they'd hole up and spend a few months fornicating underground until it was safe to come out again.

It was like stepping into a time machine. The equipment and furniture were dated, but not so's a middle-aged guy like me would notice; and everything was absolutely mint. You could probably have eaten off the floors, and all the equipment appeared to be in working order, including the overhead fluorescent lighting.

The point of the article was that the facility had just been decommissioned and was awaiting disposal, and was considered something of a white elephant.

Sounds like just the place for a Texas Tinfoil World Headquarters -- just imagine the conspiracy parties!

Why is it that our rulers are afraid of losing control, even in death. Or shall we know how much they love us, that they are going to provide us with continued control, after elected officials are attacked? A sensible plan, utilizing our greatest strength, the states and county govts, would seem to be more in order. I can understand a need to keep the military chain of command working, but the bureaucrats? Will they enslave the enemy with red tape?

[Lumberjack]

I knew when I heard this that the kooks would be out in force with the NWO nonsense.

Oh, you poor, poor man.

You're right, there's nothing to worry about at all. After all, every other plan in the past did in fact try to preserve our Constitutional government whereas this one does not even pretend to do so, but there's nothing to worry about. We can Trust The Leader(tm). That's what the New American dream is all about to you, isn't it? Just Trust The Leader(tm), and don't question anything they do, ever.

Wow, what a nice pleasant fairy cake world you live in. I wish I could unquestioningly accept all government edicts, proposals and plans without thought too! Guess I'll just have to practice harder in the future, so that I can reach the state of zombie like stupor necessary for this to happen, that's all.

A hundred people to run the FEDGOV, I vote for it...twice.
