Official Washington flocking to Doomsday Camps

by Paul Bedard | March 19, 2018 08:16 AM

A building network of backwoods doomsday camps around the country are pulling in members from affluent areas and even Washington national security officials as the threats grow from nuclear war, an EMP or virus attack.

Called Fortitude Ranch, the outposts promise protection and a year’s supply of food for those unable to build their own bunker. What’s more, until a crisis strikes, they are being used for prepper training and vacations.

“We’re seeing members from all the three letter agencies,” said Fortitude creator Drew Miller, a retired Air Force colonel and intelligence officer, in a reference to the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

He called an attack or even a weather-related electromagnetic pulse shutdown of the electric grid “inevitable,” and a driving force in his project.

One of his members from the Baltimore area, speaking on background, said that he and others joined after “waking up” to the potential of a national crisis from an attack, financial meltdown or political violence. “For most of us, something rattled our cages and woke us up,” he said.

Through memberships and his own cryptocurrency called “Fortitudes,” Miller has raised about $400,000 and established a ranch in West Virginia and Colorado with 10 others planned. An open house at the West Virginia ranch is scheduled for April 21-23.

He said that for the West Virginia ranch, “most members are professional Washington area folks. They don’t have time to do this own their own.” The cost is about $1,000 per person per year to join.

IOW, it’s a facility for the three letter agencies to run to when they destroy Trump causing the last straw for conservatives.

A thousand per person per year to “join,” huh? Does anybody believe that this would actually be up, functional and stocked for every individual who is prepaid? I don’t.

The Sixth Seal: Terror [KJV]
Revelation 6:

12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Two things we can be assured of.

1) There will be no TV shows or clucking of tongues by the elites about this prepping. Only prepping down by those weirdos was worth making fun of.

2) There is a level of stress now clearly permeating throughout our society. It may be just below the sensory threshold, but all stratus of society seem to now feel the growing pressure, the awaiting of “something’s going to happen”.

There’s a major flaw in their plans: How will they get to their retreats when all hell breaks loose? Air flights will be grounded and fuel will be scarce. Second problem is the retreats are in remote areas, which are usually very conservative areas. So left leaning swamp creatures will be in danger from the locals when the locals decide to take them out.

Political Violence....what does that mean? Does that mean BLM, ANTIFA, OWS, etc? The only they do what they do and have done what they’ve done, is because the cops, rather their police leadership, and municipal leadership have allowed it. In some cases, encouraged it. If it ever got bloody over “politics” it isn’t going to last long and the scales are definitely tipped to one side.

Distance, plus the application of long range precision rifle fire may alter their heading.

And now that he’s publicized that they’ll have a years worth of food, etc for everyone, the folks from those “very conservative areas” will have no problem taking what they want.

Especially in the DC area. In the event of nuclear war, there would be no one making it out of the District. In the event of an EMP, (like the ones you might see in a bad book) the natives would quickly rule the egress points.

You could build out to 25% capacity and you would still have room to spare.

Unless they own an old vehicle with a non-electronic ignition system, I’m curious as to how they expect to travel from the city to the “Fortitude Ranch” after the EMP...
