Yes, seriously. There is a gentleman who makes these, and demand has exploded since the war with Iran started. Gosh and golly, I wonder why? Could it be that a whole bunch of people don’t trust their ‘leader’ to keep it under control? I’ll bet there are many of us who are uneasy, even though Iran had already agreed not to use enriched uranium for missiles. It’s not going to be a quick and sterile death. It’s going to be bloodshed. With appreciation to Raw Story:
Since President Donald Trump’s unprecedented attack on Iran last week, at least two top Trump administration officials have raced to purchase their own survival shelters designed to withstand an apocalyptic nuclear war scenario, The Telegraph reported on Sunday. The revelation comes from Texas resident Ron Hubbard, who owns Atlas, a company that manufactures survival bunkers designed to withstand “biological [or] nuclear fallout, EMP attacks” and other catastrophic scenarios. Hubbard spoke with The Telegraph and revealed that since the U.S. attack on Iran, inquiries had gone up “tenfold,” including inquiries from two senior Trump administration Cabinet members.
Well, my goodness gracious! (Yes, this is a real thing. Check out the link.) That would seem a rather excessive reaction, don’t you think? Or should we be *more* worried, given that purchasing has exploded (figuratively speaking)? Let’s not think about biological weapons. That would be a slow, agonizing death. There hasn’t been much in the news about such things for quite some time, and I hope it stays that way. Armageddon bunkers. Yikes.
“One of them texted me yesterday, asking me: ‘When will my bunker be ready?’” Hubbard told The Telegraph, referring to one of the officials. The Trump administration’s attack on Iran has sparked fears it could ignite a broader regional conflict. Some critics warned the escalation could even lead to the United States reinstating mandatory conscription for the first time since the Vietnam War, something White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Sunday that Trump has not ruled out as a possibility. (I wrote about this earlier.)
News outlets have also increased their coverage of the possibility of an all-out nuclear war erupting in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran; The New York Post published a report Sunday on which foods might help protect against radiation exposure, and AOL.com recently published its list of the “10 safest countries to survive nuclear war amid WW3 fears.”
It seems we *do* need to think about these possibilities. There’s no way in hail that even with both our families chipping in and us, we could afford one of them. The thought hadn’t crossed my mind. These are dark thoughts to have because our ‘president’ is an imbecile. He won’t be able to comprehend war to that extreme, but I’ll bet a lot of us can. Ugh.
Amid those fears, business has been booming for Hubbard, who also told The Telegraph that his recent clients were almost all “Christian, conservative CEOs,” which included “several of the wealthiest men on the planet,” though he declined to identify them. The revelation of top Trump administration officials racing to purchase survival bunkers raised alarm even among conservatives, including Andrew Day, senior editor at The American Conservative. “Why are senior Trump officials urgently ordering Armageddon-proof bunkers for themselves since the war in Iran began?” Day wrote Sunday in a social media post on X.
We’d love to have an answer to that question. A guess would be that Trump has no self-control and could very easily do something stupid. He has the nuclear codes, after all. And there’s almost no telling who he would fire them at, except for Iran. I doubt he would fire them at Pootie, but that’s the only place I can think of that he might *not* hit. He’d have to have his lips surgically removed from Pootie’s arse first. Geez. Armageddon bunkers. What has this world come to?
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
i thought armageddon, in the biblical sense, is what they all want. shouldn’t they be rejoicing? don’t they understand that it means this life ends and they pass on to the afterlife? or do they realize that they’re all going straight to hell? no point in my worrying about it. i don’t have the money to buy one and i live three miles from a naval air station so i’d pretty much be toast (literally).
