I have mixed feelings about some of the content in this particular topic. I have a real problem with Jesse Ventura.

I think that it is essential to have an alternate systems of governance already in place - referred to by some as

I can tell you that this is no suprise. Numerous government agencies and the military use dehydrated/freeze dried etc foods as part of their staple diet. Things I can think of that we used in the Army all the time were potatoes, eggs, milk, butter, bacon, and onions. If they are preparing, good for them. This means not everyone has their heads up their b... and all my taxes aint being wasted completly.
Jessie is a known as a gang member associate, an actor and used to be "the system" as a politician and now he is a "survival expert" of some kind. Whatever. I'll take 10 thinkers from this forum over that idiot and his buddies anyday on my anti-zombie squad.
There are several agencies moving to the Colorado area away from the East Coast. I would imagine there are some underground bunkers, basements etc. Again good for them. I was just at DIA last month and didnt see any giant underground structures being built with guys in dark sunglasses surrounding them but hey what do I know.

Jesse has his uses, I do like how he is now trying to expose government conspiracies.

But we have to be concerned also about (as mentioned above) who is "chosen" to be a survivor on the tax payer's dime.
Do we really want a new world with the likes of Pelosi and Reid as being the new start of a government? I mean after SHTF do you honestly think if the liberals/democrats outnumber the conservatives they will honestly keep the Constitution? I am actually NOT grateful that they are planning a government shelter for "key people". They will have access to unlimited resources compared to everybody else and WOULD (IMO) re-write the future for America.

Oh and after SHTF, if "they" do outnumber us, whats to stop them from "taking out the garbage"??? As we use to say in the infantry...

hypothetical but we get word that a nuke or an asteriod was coming towards the earth and all the rich people and politicians went into their safe doomsday bunker leaving us po folks out here but their bunker is where the explosion took place, wiped them all out, wouldn't us poor dumb folks be lost without them, no rich folks to controll the world and no politicians to tell us how to live or come after our money ect.

It annoys me to think that a group of 'special people' will be kept safe while I am left to rot on my own. I also don't like the idea of any 'shadow government' taking over. Who elected them? Nobody, so from where do they derive their authority? Where in the constitution is the government granted the authority to form a 'shadow government'?

If it's true, and I do mean IF, the whole thing is outrageous. I can understand emergency preparedness, stock piling foods and digging bunkers to protect THIS government, but the concept of some new government taking over in the event of an emergency sounds like an orchestrated coup. I f I were a conspiracy theorist I'd say that a crisis could easily be manufactured, something like a dollar collapse which could create chaos. Then this unelected 'shadow government' could swoop in and take over.

Hmm, I think I'll write a book about that!

As one who lives 3 hours from DC in VA, I can attest that government agencies have been "diversifying" out of the NOVA (Northern VA)/DC area to places all across VA and West VA. They are spead out all across these states... I wonder what they know or think might happen?

http://www.history.com/shows/mega-disasters is a good show about some of this. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.p...t=va&aid=19238 shows what is there somewhat.
KirkMcquest "Continuity of Government" is the key term you will need in researching this. The elected Government would stay in charge unless they were all wiped out. They have a COC, http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/RL31857.pdf and http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/laws/gc_1219245380392.shtm are a few do***ents to read on it.
Rmpl It's not a secret, terrorism, nukes and natural disasters and it's even been televised somewhat with history channel and some others just not headlined or mainstreamed to much. I can't believe it took them this long honestly. It is silly to keep everything in one undefendable and weather subjective place.
"It annoys me to think that a group of 'special people' will be kept safe while I am left to rot on my own." I got news for ya, it happens daily and has for a couple hundred years even as this country was being founded. Ever heard of the secret service who potect not me and you but special folks. We didnt have bunkers to rush into on 9-11, nope kicked my ammo cans open and loaded for bear in my own living room. Compare the number of cold war fallout shelters in VA, WVA and DC compared to everthing west, elitest and services have been around for awhile and the common man created them in the hope that what we built will survive post SHTF.

What a nice thought to go to sleep with: Obama stating that he wants a civilian force as large and well equipped as the military, coupled with the idea of a shadow government. I wonder how that group would be. Here's a nice video to watch:
