The Underground

Yes, that is an image to the left, and not a gay pride bumper sticker. (Honk if you like anal.)
     You might want to open it up and take a good look at this visual aid.
     Over forty percent of the Earth is covered by continental crust rather than ocean. This continental crust is twenty-two to twenty-five miles thick. Most of this thickness is comprised of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous (solid cooled magma) rock. The three most common elements of the crust are (believe it or not) oxygen at forty seven percent, silica at twenty-eight percent, and the third most is aluminum at eight percent. Iron only comes in at five percent.
     While the crust may be twenty five miles deep, the deepest recorded mine is only two and a half miles deep, the only reason for that of course is money as the mine is a gold mine in Africa. Of course, the deepest mine in the United States, also a gold mine, is the Homesteak Mine in South Dakota and it only reaches a whooping one and a half miles deep. This mine latter became the Homesteak Experiment (geek scale of 7)...
     So, just scratching the surface, literally, even with the open mines and only making small little tunnels in the earths crust alone. Its deep, so deep in fact I am having trouble filling up this space to even up with the image on the left.
     So what the hell are we doing will all that unused available space?
     Digging secret military bases of course!

Plausibility

     Now, how plausible is it that anyone would be digging so called secret underground bases? Is there any evidence to the whereabouts of these things? I mean, do a simple internet search for underground bases...
     ...and you end up with the results of the craziest assholes on the internets. Apparently, just about everywhere you look on the net, underground bases are, of course, alien in nature, under the Denver airport, and every hack job ufo hunter out there is copying and pasting the locations of ever single suspected, imaginary hole in the ground.
     So you got to hand it to the internets peeps. They certainly lend credence for the "ordinary" people out there to not take them seriously at all. However, at the same time, there is some truth to this. Is the underground base master complex as extensive as everyone is trying to elude it is? Probably not. Even in my capacity of "knowing" (and trust me - I don't know everything)... ...there are underground facilities that would boggle the mind. Three of them, I have personally been in.

     So, it is completely plausible. Aside from the ICBM missile bunkers, there are other known underground military bases around the world. Everybody is into it, Russia, China, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland (hell even North Korea) all have had a few of there underground military bases at least publicly photographed at least one time or the other.
     About the only country you can not find any public data or images of underground military bases is of course the United States of America. (and of course after exhaustive research - someone will prove me wrong)
     Now, interestingly enough, technically speaking this is not a hard thing to do, digging in large places in the twenty five miles thick crust. The only problem is economic viability - and of course we know that is not a problem with magic money. I could spend all day boring you with trying to myth-bust it out as to if its plausible or not that we have large underground bases - it should be a given. The bigger question is the why.

Production

     No one batted an eye when I showed that we had sixty plus F-117 stealth fighters, all the sudden like, moved from various bases on and around dreamland. Where the hell where they built? North of LA? The facilities are not large enough for fuill scle production. I seriously doubt that. Large installations in Nevada? Have you actually seen Google earth? What large structures could support this endevor? There’s only one choice for military factory when you want it hidden and completely inaccessible to anyone. Underground.
     Anyone seen the size of a car factory from the air? Now how about a legit civilian aircraft factory? Huge doesn’t quite cover it - and cover it is exactly what the government needs to do. It just makes sense.

Case Example


    My favorite place to live, an old historic Air Force Base located in Arizona - now turned polytechnic college does have a large underground component. Built to house several air wings, the pilots, there families, and all the rest of the staff to include the janitors, it is huge, immense...

     ...I saw it as a little boy, believe it or not. The hanger section alone can hold several space shuttles - and that I know as a fact. Right there in the middle of a city is a massive underground structure that no one, save key maintenance personnel - know anything about.

The pineapple under the sea

     Now, its not just the on land underground bases that are quite interesting, its also the US Navies undertakings that have left me baffled with the shear scope, immagination, and ... well ... the balls it took to sell the idea. And sell it they did...

   I have had some interesting talks with the Navy personnel at this facility I am at. They know full well who I am, and what I do on the side so things have been shortened to say the least. However, discussions have come up to some of the things I have previously talked about - such as the submersible aircraft carriers, flying submersible aircraft, I haven’t even touched on the new, void subs. The thought that we have these numerous and so large there hard to hide assets made me think and ask - where the hell are we hiding them. Certainly we need to have a place to refit, repair, re-man and the like.

    I was only responded to with grins of knowing and hint. Some folk where more than willing to give more than hints - but that subject matter is best levied on another blogg topic.
     Geee... someone said, where would you want to hide a submersible aircraft carrier, surely you wouldn’t want to have a surface base... ...say what?
     Noooo... another said smiling ...you would definitely want it to be land accessible, but not connected to the mainland... ...hurmmm?
     The old salty sonnarman sayz... ...yeah, you better check yer bearing on this subject, Captian... ...whunerrrhhmmmm?
     Certianly these guys wanted to get something out, something that they new the "enemy" certainly knew all about and my "blabbing" about it wouldn't make them ultimetly accountable. They are getting into the spirit of things and for that I am gratefull.
     Take your time to ponder these things - and understand the direction and purpose of the why. (This post started to turn into something much larger than would be requirede to generate thought and conversational topics... ...hey, I got a day job you know...)
