The Doomsday Bunker For Billionaires

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Two months ago we went inside the Fed's "doomsday" bunker: a 135,000 square foot facility built in 1969, and nestled inside Mount Pony, east of Culpeper, Virginia that housed some $4 billion in hard currency as well as the central hub of FedWire, the computer network which allows the nation’s banks to communicate and transfer funds.

It was meant to ensure that the US banking system could still function in the event there were still any banks left in the post-apocalyptic world, Culpeper Switch (officially the Federal Reserve System’s Communications and Records Center) was equipped with everything a Fed official would need to survive in the wake of a nuclear holocaust.

And yet, it was in a word, "spartan" even by 1970s standards. After all who wants to greet the post-nuclear holocaust world surrounded by sterile plastic, a Fed spreadsheet (which caused the nuclear holocaust in the first place) and all the cash in the world, especially since the only currency accepted is silver, gold and of course, lead (not to mention a bunker-full of voodoo economists).

 

Then along came Vivos, a company which specializes in creating the ultimate in luxurious Doomsday bunkers which, however, are not only for the world's richest, but also for those who Vivos founder, California entrepreneuer Robert Vicino, deems worthy: anyone can apply for a spot in the post-apocalypse world but only a select few will be admitted.

Until recently, the company's only community shelter product was Vivos Indiana, a shelter "strategically located in midwestern America", which the company describes as "one of the most fortified, nuclear hardened shelters within our network, located within a one-day drive from anywhere in the Midwest and the Eastern seaboard of America.  Built during the Cold War to withstand a 20 megaton blast, within just a few miles, this impervious underground complex accommodates up to 80 people, for a minimum of one year of fully autonomous survival, without needing to return to the surface."

Like a very comfortable 4-Star hotel, this massive shelter is tastefully and comfortably furnished and decorated, completely outfitted, fully stocked with food, toiletries, linens, medical supplies, a one year supply of fuel, a deep water well, NBC filtration systems, geothermal heating and cooling, bedroom suites, full size showers and bathrooms, a theater area, dining area, lounge area, exercise equipment, kennels, a garden area for fresh vegetables, laundry area, abundant storage areas, ATV's, bicycles, tools, a workshop, security devices; and, just about everything else that may be needed to ride out virtually any catastrophic event.  You only need to bring your personal clothing and medications.  We've thought of everything else! 

 

Far from any known nuclear targets, this shelter is also strategically located a safe distance away from the New Madrid fault line, the Mississippi River, and all oceans that might cause submersion as a result of a tsunami-type event.  The site is also surrounded by excellent farming, fishing, hunting and water resources.

As the images and video below show, the Vivos Indiana complex indeed has thought of not only every contingency but presents it in utmost luxury.

Below is the video Vivos has created to showcase its Genesis tour:

The company's marketing is solid, if somewhat morbid:

The Vivos network of underground shelters is very real. Watch this video tour of one of the massive shelters built to withstand a 20 megaton blast from just 2 miles. This is one of the smallest Vivos shelters, with accommodations for just 80 people for up to one year of autonomous underground survival. The largest provides shelter for over 2,000 people. At complete build out Vivos will save about 6,000 people - 1 in every 1 million people on Earth in these impervious shelters.

 

Something is coming. Vivos is prepared for all of the predicted risks, whenever they may occur. Vivos is the only co-ownership community shelter network on the planet. Limited space is still available for those that qualify. Members are now boarding. Don't be left on the other side of the door!

Some more snapshots of the Indiana facility:

 

Of course, greeing the post-doomsday sun in a 5-star hotel is not cheap. Here is the price list from the company's website.

 

Still, when it comes to billionaires, $35,000 is a joke. They would much rather spend a whole lot more just to stand out among their equally showy peers.

It is for them, as well as for Europe's billionaires, where should a Grexit indeed take place and things quickly escalate, culminating in a way that nobody can anticipate, that Vivos has just opened its second major ultra-luxury bunker: Vivos Europa One, dubbed "The Elite Shelter for the Privileged Few", which in addition to everything else even has what Vivos calls the "only private human DNA vault on Earth", which offers donors the opportunity to collocate their DNA not in just one place but two: in both the United States and Europe. "Both deep underground shelters offer virtually impervious protection in their hermetically sealed vaults." 

Whether stored for years, decades or more than a century, the Vivos Global Genome Vault pool will be a perpetual depository, preserving life on Earth as we know it.

Or rather, the DNA stored will be of those billionaires who are not only rich but megalomaniacal enough to believe they are worthy to be the template material of all future humans. Which means all of them.

And speaking of everything else, there is a lot. As the Mail reports, the Vivos Europa One shelter is located in Rothenstein, Germany and is one of the most fortified and massive underground survival shelters on Earth. Its 6000 inhabitants can live up to a year without leaving the luxury premises.

 

According to Forbes, the bunker was "originally built by the Soviets during the Cold War, this shelter was a fortress for military equipment and munitions. After the DDR was merged with Germany, the German government inherited this relic and intended to use it for the same purpose of weapons storage. However, due to a law prohibiting the storage of ammunition near a major highway, the German Government soon realized they could not continue with their plans and decided to auction this 76 acre complex. A wealthy investor purchased the entire property, along with all of its improvements, both above and below ground."

That investor was Vivos' founder Robert Vicino whose "billionaire bunkers" are now on both continents, and who says “We are proud to bring this epic project forward in these increasingly dangerous times.”

The bunkers consists of a planned survival complex that is comparable to billionaire's mega-yacht or mansion - "but much bigger."

It boasts swimming pools, theaters, gyms, restaurants, custom apartments, outdoor space and helicopter service. And as one would expect, the bunker can withstand a nuclear blast, chemical agents, earthquakes, tsunamis, or another disaster. Unlike the Indiana complex where the cost is a relatively cheap $35,000 one time charge for adults, the Europea price list is still secret, although with the property valued at $1.1 billion, it is likely that the final price will be much higher. Underground shelter is currently in 'turnkey operational condition.'

Most importantly, in addition to paying a lot of money for the privilege of reserving a key for the luxurious doomsday bunker, residents will be accepted based on their 'skills' and 'talents.' It is unclear just which billionaire skills Vicinio deems critical for perpetuating humanity: being a legendary insider trader who pays off the government with Picasso painting, being the world's greatest crony capitalist, creating a criminal bank enterprise while scolding people for not being "rich enough", and so forth.

Some more details: the complex includes over 21,108 square meters (227,904 square feet) of secured, blast proof living areas and, an additional 4,079 square meters (43,906 square feet) of above-ground office and warehouse buildings, including a train servicing depot.

The typical chamber area is 5 meters wide (16.40 feet), by 6 meters tall (19.68 feet) and 85 meters (278.87 feet) long. Collectively there are over 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) of continuous tunnel chambers (equivalent to 71 Boeing 747’s fuselages stretched end to end). All shelter areas are located behind 3 separate nuclear blast and radiation proof vehicle entrances, and a number of other passages for access by people only. Each of the three main tunnel entrances includes an outer security door system, followed by a 40 ton hydraulic truck access door with hardened steel rods which expand into the surrounding encasement, and a second set of massive steel doors providing an airtight seal shut, protecting against chemical, biological and gas intrusion.

The underground main traffic corridors are large enough to allow mechanical transportation of heavy equipment to almost any point within the complex.

Each family in the complex will be provided with a private 2,500-square-foot apartment, which they can design and build to their own specifications. They may decide to add a pool, a theater or a deluxe bathroom. They will also have access to a hospital area, several restaurants and a bakery.

Other common area amenities will include roadways, a wine cellar, prayer rooms, classrooms, a television station and a detention center.

Once each member’s private accommodations are completed, furnished and fully outfitted, their respective quarters will be locked and secured, limiting access to their families and staff prior to lockdown; while Vivos will operate and maintain all common areas (under and above-ground) pending a catastrophic event.

Members will arrive at their own discretion, prior to lockdown, landing their private planes at nearby airports. Vivos helicopters will then be deployed to rendezvous with each member group, and safely fly them back to the shelter compound, behind the sealed gates from the general public. Members will then enter the shelter and access their private quarters. Each family will pay a base amount for their respective living quarter’s area, along with their fair share of the ongoing stand-by costs for operational management, staffing, taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, and restocking as needed.

In short: a complete turnkey operation that every zombie in the post-apocalypse world will desperately try to penetrate and feast on the inhabitants.

And now, without further ado, here is how the world's richest will live in the real world version of the Walking Dead:

Since these billionaires obviously can't actually DO anything even remotely useful, these places will require a small army of dishwashers, chefs, servers, maids, laundry personel, waiters, bartenders, mechanics, plumbers, electricians, engineers, etc, etc, etc, to keep everything running smoothly.  All these people can't just go home at the end of each day but must be housed, fed, etc.  Where do I apply and when can I start?

At the end of the year, guess who will be the master and who will be the slave.

"Then there's that hippie, pacifist son of Yahweh's to deal with"

The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast

11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”a He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

17And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”

19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh."

-Revelation 19:11-21

Hmm, doesn't sound real pacifist to me.

You misunderstand.  You don't even know your own holy books.  Revelation was written by Jews, for Jewish Christians, about Rome, in a mystical style common to Jewish writings of the period.

 

Your homework is the Essenes.

 

You keep thinking like an Evangelical, or an astrology buff with your "predictions and prophecies". 

The Catholics have this right, basically:

 

Five Common Misinterpretations Of The Book Of Revelation ... Revelation - United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Does the Church teach that the prophecy of Revelation 20:1 ...

 

and if you read only 1...

I can lead you to water, Bob, but I ken nae mek ye drinketh thereof.

 

Now you're going to sense your Ego rising up to argue even before understanding.... *that* is something you have to master.

 

 

Not a Muslim, Bob.  You'd call me a pagan, I suppose.  I do enjoy our chats, but I don't think you're ready here.  You tret the Bible in such a different way.

 

I recommend a nice hot cup of tea with those links, by the way.

PS- Thank you for at least claiming you are a pagan. But your defense of Islam is misguided, if what you claim is true.

Let the spiritual infants come unto thee, Seek Dogma... for theirs is the Kingdom of Dreams.

 

You need to understand the basics in the links before a more serious, earnest discussion can take place.  As I said, the Catholics basically have the Book of Rev correct.

 

Side note:  Ever ask yourself why you are so desperate to prove "true" what you simply assume on "faith" to be "true"?

You should take the time to research where some "anonymous" person on the internet is coming from, before you reply, especially in serious matters.

Don't you know how to search a poster's historical comments?

I am well acquainted with almost all of the material you've posted, CP.

I still read it, though.

And sometimes I bookmark, and share, a link you have posted.

I'm definitely not a dogmatic guy.

Here's some news for you- Catholics have the interpretation of Revelation mostly wrong.

So do all the other descendants of the Roman "church".

That includes all of organized "christianity", without exception.

But they (all) have a lot of things right, too.

I know this to be true.

You are not paying attention to what I am posting.

Counterpunch,

On a completely seperate, personal note:

You'd do well to make your points (your personal thoughts, beliefs) in writing.

Links should be used conservatively.

Your posts rely way too heavily on them.

Anyone can do a websearch.

But few can explain their beliefs succinctly.

That should be everyone's goal in posting a comment.

Anybody who paid for a luxury suite in the Hotel Indiana probably knows it wouldn't be much use when the chips were down. For most it's either gallows humour or another exercise in vanity, like the Doomsday video of the Turner mansion CNN was supposed to broadcast just before an ICBM wiped Atlanta off the map. 

Ditto Rothenstein. The Russians and Israelis know exactly where it is. German banksters would be no safer there than if they were standing at the gate of the ECB, greeting an incoming Israeli nuke with a Roman salute---and if the Samson Option is ever applied, I'd rather be in Frankfurt, where I know I'd cash out quickly.

off topic, but interesting article in the Times on the anniversary of the magna carta

 

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/15/world/europe/magna-carta-still-posing-...

 

Already one of the comments is a Jew claiming that Jewish law was the foiundation of the western world and such, but it made me remember what they did not discuss in the article - the original MC had 2 clauses regarding Jews, later removed

 

http://www.constitution.org/cons/magnacar.htm

 

10. If one who has borrowed from the Jews any sum, great or small, die before that loan be repaid, the debt shall not bear interest while the heir is under age, of whomsoever he may hold; and if the debt fall into our hands, we will not take anything except the principal sum contained in the bond.

11. And if anyone die indebted to the Jews, his wife shall have her dower and pay nothing of that debt; and if any children of the deceased are left under age, necessaries shall be provided for them in keeping with the holding of the deceased; and out of the residue the debt shall be paid, reserving, however, service due to feudal lords; in like manner let it be done touching debts due to others than Jews

 

The story of those clauses removal, at the insistence of... wait for it... powerful wealthy Jews, also interesting

 

http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2013/05/background-to-the-magna-carta/

With today's insane nuclear arsenal collectively-combined... the radiation fallout and ensuing nuclear winter would last hundreds, if not 1,000's, of years at the very least. Referring to Darwinism, just think how different human beings would evolve if forced to live underground deprived of their natural habitat for so long.

To my mind, humanity would have no control over its own destiny whatsoever, as the suns rays would be impeded from reaching the earth for so long and all or most of all existing life forms would perish in the aftermath.

What kind of a world or life would evolve post-apocalyse? Certainly not one that homo sapiens who have dwelled for so long underground could easily integrate with. As any lifeform on earth would consequentially have to adapt to high levels of radiation in the soil and water... these will be trapped by the cold tundra expected, making highly complex species life on earth almost impossible for a very long time indeed.

The sociopaths that run the world always concentrate on the detail, not the greater picture.

Revelation 6:16 -"And 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"

You would have to be a complete idiot to buy into this Armageddon Bunker "Gated Community". 1) How do you get to it faster than a Topol M? 2) Who the fuck wants to balled up with an HOA at the end of the world 3) Do you have any idea what the carrying and O&M costs are on something like this? (the owner should have turned it into a high-end boutique, funky hotel to generate cash and if the world ends you just won the lottery). 4.) Do you really think the locals won't dig you out after they run through their week's worth of food in the grocery stores?

For real survivial you would be much better off building a nice 'vacation' house (or series of vacation cabins) in the mountains,  with a nice 'wine celler' underneath.

Most of the private jets will have their Avionics fried by the EMP. 

Except for the Gulfstream Vs that the US Politicians fly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulfstream_G550 

The Current Crop of US Politicians have access to a fleet of 'private' jets paid for by you and me.

Down a rathole for the rest of your pathetic days with entitled a$$hole psychopaths of the zero 1% filth that blew up the planet! Sounds like zombie hell. I would pay all I got to watch the beautiful mushrooms sprout live knowing that the slime that caused it would be slaughtering each other in their sewer.

the height of stupidity.

instead of trying to solve the problems one just puts his head up his ass and crawls into a hole in the ground.

these are not that hard to take out

and one can think of about a hundred things that can wrong.

people can't live with each other above ground but they're going to do it underground

give me a break.lmao

What no one ever thinks about is:

1) What is the political structure inside?  Is it totalitarian, 'democratic' (mob rule), or something different?

2) Someone has to be 'in charge', so what if you don't like the way they run the place post-SHTF?

3) Which leads to 'security'.  Can everyone in there own a gun?  If not, why not?

4) The citizens of this undergound bunker would end up going crazy (at least some of them).  Would they be locked up, or kicked out?

5) Ultimately, cliques would form, dividing the citizenry into perhaps two groups, and then war would occur, inside.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, FOOLS.

Exactly.  Their attitudes drove the world to the events that forced them down to their golden grave, the same attitudes (locked in their brains) will go down WITH THEM.  So, in my book, the biggest thread is not what is goind on OUTSIDE of the cave, but what is going on INSIDE of the cave, INSIDE of their skulls.

This would be a psychological version of the Matryoshka doll (Russian doll)!

 

Would laugh my ass off, if everybody on the outside would adapt biologically to the shit and now, with the scum of the earth locked up in a bunker, started to create an idyllic Paradise.  The look on their faces would be priceless.  Coming up after one year and noticing that outside everything is PERFECT and peaceful and idyllic and that nobody cares about money anymore!

What a dream...good movie too!

Fools.  These billionaires have only one talent - skinning people and governments for all the money they have.  No other skill - does anyomne seriously believe these financial carnivores could rebuild anything other than Wall Street? The world they re-enter after a couple years pinned up with each other (can you imagine having to spend your last years trapped with 80 sharks???) will be a world most likely destitute of people, no remaining industry, no remaining technology, nuclear winterised so no hope of enough food to carry on, nuclear survivors who are more likely to eat them than welcome them (how about that invitation to dinner - you being the main course?), no viable transport system, no water pumping facilities, no electricity, no fuel.

This article is humorous.  I hope every billionaire alive will enter one of these facilities.  I'm only disappointed that I won't be around to witness their excruciating demise after they come out.

Can you imagine living with 80 wealthy fucks!. Arrogant banking fucks. Narcissistic brain dead wives. Bratty kids that you will want to murder after minutes.

I'd rather have my face melted off.

I have the answer to everything:

 

First, tell them that an emergency is happening.

 

Second, wait while they move in to their noew quarters.

 

Last, lock and block the doors so they cannot get out.

When I was in army basic training the Dirty Dozen was one of the only movies we were shown.  My favorite scene is at the end where Jim Brown runs along throwing hand grenades into the vents of an underground bunker where Nazi elites are enjoying themselves.  It's a short step from a bunker to a tomb.

"Built during the Cold War to withstand a 20 megaton blast"

I am very pleased to see that the idiots designed their tombs before the advent of "bunker busting" nukes. They were also kind enough to reveal the locations as well. So, if they are not targeted, which seems unlikely, we know where to go get our supplies.

Yes, and if their shelter holds up, they next get to walk through the mine field the remaining citizenry sets up outside the door they were denied entrance to.  The kind of people who plan and pay to be here are the ultimate horror of evolution.  They want THEIR DNA to remain?  Their offspring would only rob, steal, and throat-cut for the rest of eternity.  THESE are the very people who would bring on the war that requires the shelters.  They are the LAST group of people the world needs.

We should devise a scheme to coax all the psychopaths into their bunkers, seal the doors tight...and carry on with our lives, enjoying newfound stability and peace.
