Jeff,

I have no idea about Columbus, so I can't speak on that, but the "bunker" you refer to in LA ALREADY exists and was constructed for an emergency command post. It was not built specifically for Y2K related disaster.

As for the "bunker" near the White House, I drive by there almost everyday, and I'm not seeing a whole lot of construction equipment of the type necessary to excavate and remove large quantities of dirt and concrete.

Now there is a coordination center being prepared as Koskinen recently announced, but it is HARDLY a bunker.

How do I know this? Because a friend of mine was bemoaning the fact their New Year's eve celebration will be spent in this command post watching the fireworks celebration on the Washington Mall.

This person has mentioned NOTHING about being buried underground behind multiple steel plate doors and cypher locks.

So who should I believe?? Someone who thinks this whole thread exists for the purpose of playing practical jokes or the person I know who will be in the "belly of the beast" over Jan 1st??

Lemmee see.... Hmmmm... Boy 'o boy tough choice.

And since I just had a internet chat with this person as I was typing this response (just to make sure I didn't get anything incorrect), I'm DOUBLY sure...

My friends words (paraphrasing)... Bunkers wouldn't even be considered by Koskinen since it was send such an obvious "fear" message that it could never be considered.

HOWEVER... every major govt agency as well as most private corporations will be operating "watch centers" in order to quickly identify problems and immediately work to mitigate any damage or disruptions.

My friend, while we're cracking bottles of Champagne, will be relegated to sitting by a phone working as a representative from their particular agency.

Btw, please note how I kept references to my friend gender neutral.

Now you don't have to believe me and I really don't care. But I'm just putting the information out there so I can sleep with a clear conscience knowing that I didn't let this conspiratorial BS go unanswered.

Regards,

Ron
