Subject: Clinton's SUPER-Ultimate Survival Shelter: "Doomsday Hideaway"
From: yondan444@aol.com

I have been meaning to post this, and I am now just getting around to it,
.....so many things to do and not enough time to do it all. Anyway looks
like Clinton's a practicing survivalist also. Hum......I wonder if he gets
on the net and posts to this NG. Anyway read on it's pretty interesting
(myself, everything I read I take with a grain of salt). The net address
that I downloaded this is at the end of the article. DW.


FEMA - THE U.S. "SHADOW GOVERNMENT"

More on our old friends at FEMA, those menacing Executive Orders, and the
coming "National Emergency."
Aren't you glad that the power to declare "National Emergencies" or to
declare that individuals or groups are "terrorists" rests
solely in President Clinton's wise and selfless hands?

Few Americans--indeed, few Congressional reps--are aware of the existence
of Mount Weather, a mysterious underground
military base carved deep inside a mountain near the sleepy rural town of
Bluemont, Virginia, just 46 miles from Washington DC.
Mount Weather--also known as the Western Virginia Office of Controlled
Conflict Operations--is buried not just in hard granite,
but in secrecy as well.
In March, 1976, The Progressive Magazine published an astonishing article
entitled "The Mysterious Mountain." The
author, Richard Pollock, based his investigative report on Senate
subcommittee hearings and upon "several off-the-record
interviews with officials formerly associated with Mount Weather." His
report, and a 1991 article in Time Magazine entitled
"Doomsday Hideaway", supply a few compelling hints about what is going on
underground.
Ted Gup, writing for Time, describes the base as follows:
Mount Weather is a virtually self-contained facility. Aboveground,
scattered across manicured lawns, are about a dozen
buildings bristling with antennas and microwave relay systems. An on-site
sewage-treatment plant, with a 90,000 gal.-a-day
capacity, and two tanks holding 250,000 gal. of water could last some 200
people more than a month; underground ponds hold
additional water supplies. Not far from the installation's entry gate are
a control tower and a helicopter pad. The mountain's real
secrets are not visible at ground level.
The mountain's "real secrets" are protected by warning signs, 10 foot-high
chain link fences, razor wire, and armed guards. Curious
motorists and hikers on the Appalachian trail are relieved of their
sketching pads and cameras and sent on their way. Security is
tight.
The government has owned the site since 1903; it has seen service as an
artillery range, a hobo farm during the Depression, and a
National Weather Bureau Facility. In 1936, the U.S. Bureau of Mines took
control and started digging.
Mount Weather is virtually an underground city, according to former
personnel interviewed by Pollock. Buried deep inside the
earth, Mount Weather was equipped with such amenities as:
private apartments and dormitories
streets and sidewalks
cafeterias and hospitals
a water purification system, power plant and general office buildings
a small lake fed by fresh water from underground springs
its own mass transit system
a TV communication system
Mount Weather is the self-sustaining underground command center for the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The facility is the operational center--the hub--of approximately 100
other Federal Relocation Centers, most of which are
concentrated in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and North
Carolina. Together this network of underground
facilities constitutes the backbone of America's "Continuity of
Government" program. In the event of nuclear war, declaration
of martial law, or other national emergency, the President, his cabinet
and the rest of the Executive Branch would be "relocated" to
Mount Weather.
What Does Congress Know about Mount Weather?
According to the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights hearings in
1975, Congress has almost no knowledge and no
oversight --budgetary or otherwise--on Mount Weather. Retired Air Force
General Leslie W. Bray, in his testimony to the
subcommittee, said "I am not at liberty to describe precisely what is the
role and the mission and the capability that we have at
Mount Weather, or at any other precise location."
Apparently, this underground capital of the United States is a secret only
to Congress and the US taxpayers who paid for it. The
Russians know about it, as reported in Time:
"Few in the U.S. government will speak of it, though it is assumed that
all along the Soviets have known both its precise location
and its mission (unlike the Congress, since Bray wouldn't tell); defense
experts take it as a given that the site is on the Kremlin's
targeting maps."
The Russians attempted to buy real estate right next door, as a "country
estate" for their embassy folks, but that deal was
dead-ended by the State Department.
Mount Weather's "Government-in-Waiting"
Pollock's report, based on his interviews with former officials at Mount
Weather, contains astounding information on the base's
personnel. The underground city contains a parallel government-in-waiting:

"High-level Governmental sources, speaking in the promise of strictest
anonymity, told me [Pollock] that each of the Federal
departments represented at Mount Weather is headed by a single person on
whom is conferred the rank of a Cabinet-level
official. Protocol even demands that subordinates address them as "Mr.
Secretary." Each of the Mount Weather "Cabinet
members" is apparently appointed by the White House and serves an
indefinite term... many through several
Administrations....The facility attempts to duplicate the vital functions
of the Executive branch of the Administration."
Nine Federal departments are replicated within Mount Weather (Agriculture;
Commerce; Health, Education & Welfare; Housing
& Urban Development; Interior; Labor; State; Transportation; and
Treasurey) as well as at least five Federal agencies (Federal
Communications Commission, Selective Service, Federal Power Commission,
Civil Service Commission, and the Veterans
Administration). The Federal Reserve and the U.S. Post Office, both
private corporations, also have offices in Mount Weather.
Pollock writes that the "cabinet members" are "apparently" appointed by
the White House and serve an indefinite term, but that
information cannot be confirmed, raising the further question of who holds
the reins on this "back-up government." Furthermore,
appointed Mount Weather officials hold their positions through several
elected administrations, transcending the time their
appointers spend in office. Unlike other presidential nominees, these
apppointments are made without the public advice or consent
of the Senate.
Is there an alternative President and Vice President as well? If so, who
appoints them? Pollock says only this:
"As might be expected, there is also an Office of the Presidency at Mount
Weather. The Federal Preparedness Agency
(precursor to FEMA) apparently appoints a special staff to the
Presidential section, which regularly receives top secret national
security estimates and raw data from each of the Federal departments and
agencies. What Do They Do At Mount Weather?
Collect Data on American Citizens
The Senate Subcommittee in 1975 learned that the "facility held dossiers
on at least 100,000 Americans. [Senator] John
Tunney later alleged that the Mount Weather computers can obtain millions
of pieces of additional information on the
personal lives of American citizens simply by tapping the data stored at
any of the other ninety-six Federal Relocation
Centers."
The subcommittee concluded that Mount Weather's databases "operate with
few, if any, safeguards or guidelines."
Store Necessary Information
The Progressive article detailed that "General Bray gave Tunney's
subcommittee a list of the categories of files
maintained at Mount Weather: military installations, government
facilities, communications, transportation, energy and
power, agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale and retail services,
manpower, financial, medical and educational institutions,
sanitary facilities, population, housing shelter, and stockpiles." This
massive database fits cleanly into Mount Weather's
ultimate purpose as the command center in the event of a national
emergency.
Play War Games
This is the main daily activity of the approximately 240 people who work
at Mount Weather. The games are intended to
train the Mount Weather bureaucracy to managing a wide range of problems
associated with both war and domestic
political crises.
Decisions are made in the "Situation Room," the base's nerve center,
located in the core of Mount Weather. The Situation
Room is the archetypal war room, with "charts, maps and whatever visuals
may be needed" and "batteries of
communications equipment connecting Mount Weather with the White House and
"Raven Rock"--the underground
Pentagon sixty miles north of Washington--as well as with almost every US
military unit stationed around the globe,"
according to The Progressive article. "All internal communications are
conducted by closed-circuit color television ...
senior officers and "Cabinet members" have two consoles recessed in the
walls of their office."
Descriptions of the war games read a bit like a Ian Fleming novel. Every
year there is a system-wide alert that "includes
all military and civilian-run underground installations." The real,
aboveground President and his Cabinet members are
"relocated" to Mount Weather to observe the simulation. Post-mortems are
conducted and the margins for error are
calculated after the games. All the data is studied and documented.
Civil Crisis Management
Mount Weather personnel study more than war scenarios. Domestic "crises"
are also tracked and watched, and there
have been times when Mount Weather almost swung into action, as Pollock
reported:
"Officials who were at Mount Weather during the 1960s say the complex was
actually prepared to assume certain
governmental powers at the time of the 1961 Cuban missile crisis and the
assassination of President Kennedy in 1963.
The installation used the tools of its "Civil Crisis Management" program
on a standby basis during the 1967 and 1968
urban riots and during a number of national antiwar demonstrations, the
sources said."
In its 1974 Annual Report, the Federal Preparedness Agency stated that
"Studies conducted at Mount Weather involve
the control and management of domestic political unrest where there are
material shortages (such as food riots) or in strike
situations where the FPA determines that there are industrial disruptions
and other domestic resource crises."
The Mount Weather facility uses a vast array of resources to continually
monitor the American people. According to
Daniel J. Cronin, former assistant director for the FPA, Reconnaissance
satellites, local and state police intelligence
reports, and Federal law enforcement agencies are just a few of the
resources available to the FPA [now FEMA] for
information gathering. "We try to monitor situations and get to them
before they become emergencies," Cronin said. "No
expense is spared in the monitoring program."
Maintain and Update the "Survivors List"
Using all the data generated by the war games and domestic crisis
scenarios, the facility continually maintains and updates
a list of names and addresses of people deemed to be "vital" to the
survival of the nation, or who can "assist essential and
non-interruptible services." In the 1976 article, the "survivors list"
contained 6,500 names, but even that was deemed to be
low. Who Pays for All This, and How Much?
At the same time tens of millions of dollars were being spent on
maintaining and upgrading the complex to protect several
hundred designated officials in the event of nuclear attack, the US
government drastically reduced its emphasis on war
preparedness for US citizens. A 1989 FEMA brochure entitled "Are You
Prepared?" suggests that citizens construct
makeshift fallout shelters using used furniture, books, and other common
household items.
Officially, Mount Weather (and its budget) does not exist. FEMA refuses to
answer inquiries about the facility; as FEMA
spokesman Bob Blair told Time magazine, "I'll be glad to tell you all
about it, but I'd have to kill you afterward."
We don't know how much Mount Weather has cost over the years, but of
course, American taxpayers bear this burden as well. A
Christian Science Monitor article entitled "Study Reveals US Has Spent $4
Trillion on Nukes Since '45" reports that
"The government devoted at least $12 billion to civil defense projects to
protect the population from nuclear attack. But billions of
dollars more were secretly spent on vast underground complexes from which
civilian and military officials would run the
government during a nuclear war." What is Mount Weather's Ultimate
Purpose?
We have seen that Mount Weather contains an unelected, parallel
"government-in-waiting" ready to take control of the United
States upon word from the President or his successor. The facility
contains a massive database of information on U.S. citizens
which is operated with no safeguards or accountability. Ostensibly, this
expensive hub of America's network of sub-terran bases
was designed to preserve our form of government during a nuclear
holocaust.
But Mount Weather is not simply a Cold War holdover. Information on
command and control strategies during national
emergencies have largely been withheld from the American public. Executive
Order 11051, signed by President Kennedy on
October 2, 1962, states that "national preparedness must be achieved... as
may be required to deal with increases in international
tension with limited war, or with general war including attack upon the
United States."
However, Executive Order 11490, drafted by Gen. George A Lincoln (former
director for the Office of Emergency
Preparedness, the FPA's predecessor) and signed by President Nixon in
October 1969, tells a different story. EO 11490, which
superceded Kennedy's EO 11051, begins, "Whereas our national security is
dependent upon our ability to assure continuity of
government, at every level, in any national emergency type situation that
might conceivably confront the nation..."
As researcher William Cooper points out, Nixon's order makes no reference
to "war," "imminent attack," or "general war." These
quantifiers are replaced by an extremely vague "national emergency type
situation" that "might conceivably" interfere with the
workings of the national power structure. Furthermore, there is no
publicly known Executive Order outlining the restoration of the
Constitution after a national emergency has ended. Unless the parallel
government at Mount Weather does not decide out of the
goodness of its heart to return power to Constitutional authority, the
United States could experience an honest-to-God coup d'etat
posing as a national emergency.
Like the enigmatic Area 51 in Nevada, the Federal government wants to keep
the Mount Weather facility buried in secrecy. Public
awareness of this place and its purpose would raise serious questions
about who holds the reins of power in this country. The
Constitution states that those reins lie in the hands of the people, but
the very existence of Mount Weather indicates an entirely
different reality. As long as Mount Weather exists, these questions will
remain.

Mount Weather's Russian Twin
By Patricia Neill
Matrix Editor
(PSCP Wanda@aol.com)
On April 16, 1996, the New York Times reported on a mysterious military
base being constructed in Russia:
In a secret project reminiscent of the chilliest days of the Cold War,
Russia is building a mammoth underground military complex
in the Ural Mountains, Western officials and Russian witnesses say.
Hidden inside Yamantau mountain in the Beloretsk area of the southern
Urals, the project involved the creation of a huge
complex, served by a railroad,a highway, and thousands of workers.
The New York Times article quotes Russian officials describing the
underground compound variously as a mining site, a repository
for Russian treasures, a food storage area, and a bunker for Russia's
leaders in case of nuclear war.
It would seem that the Russian Parliament knows as little about Russian
underground bases as the Congress knows about Mount
Weather in the United States. "The (Russian) Defense Ministry declined to
say whether Parliament has been informed about the
details of the project, like its purpose and cost, saying only that it
receives necessary military information," according to the New
York Times.
"We can't say with confidence what the purpose is, and the Russians are
not very interested in having us go in there," a senior
American official said in Washington. "It is being built on a huge scale
and involves a major investment of resources. The
investments are being made at a time when the Russians are complaining
they do not have the resources to do things pertaining to
arms control."
Where's the Money Coming From?
The construction of the vast underground complex in Russia may very well
become a cause of concern to the Clinton
Administration. The issue of ultimate purpose for the complex, whether
defensive (as with Mount Weather) or offensive (such as
an underground weapons factory) is not the only issue Mr. Clinton has to
worry about.
The real cause for concern is that the US is currently sending hundreds of
millions of dollars to Russia, supposedly to help that
country dismantle old nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, the Russian parliament
has been complaining to Yeltsin that it cannot pay $250
million in back wages owed to its workers at the same time that it is
spending money to comply with new strategic arms reduction
treaties.
Aviation Week and Space Technology reported that "It seems the nearly $30
billion a year spent on intelligence hasn't
answered the question of what the Russians are up to at Yamantau Mountain
in the Urals. The huge underground complex being
built there has been the object of U.S. interest since 1992. "We don't
know exactly what it is," says Ashton Carter, the Pentagon's
international security mogul. The facility is not operational, and the
Russians have offered "nonspecific reassurances" that it poses
no threat to the U.S."
U.S. law states that the Administration must certify to Congress that any
money sent to Russia is used to disarm its nuclear
weapons. However, is that the case? If the Russian parliament is
complaining of a shortage of funds for nuclear disarmament, then
how can Russia afford to build the Yamantau complex?
Are the Russians building an underground city akin to Mount Weather with
American taxpayer's money? Could American funds
be subsidizing a Russian weapons factory? Hopefully Congress will get a
firm answer to these questions before authorizing further
funding to Russian military projects.
