dont know if anyones mentioned it, but by eliminating congestion and the amount of people in stadiums, they are potentially saving upwards of 50,000 lives at each event, that is, if a disaster were to happen near one.

Given all the interesting stories about food shortages, drug shortages, seed vaults, etc and you think the end of the STS program and the NFL lookout is evidence? It is threads like this that just ruin this site, IMHO of course.

RE: UNDERGROUND BUNKERS
As for the secret underground bunkers. Well that is a making for a complete and utter failure. Imagine hundreds of egotistical and narcissistic elites huddled together in a closed environment with controlled rations and restrictions. No way to exercise their greedy self-absorbing habits. No grandiose comforts they are accustomed to.
That alone would be a making for disaster.
Then to top that off, surround these special "above the law" elites with a military command structure to maintain the peace and order. These same elites who before had complete freedom to do anything are now trapped in their own sealed underground prison without even a shopping mall.
I don't care how big or luxurious this underground paradise is. Any underground stay longer than 6 months is going to be virtually impossible. Quickly the command structure will be questioned, then order will collapse and then it will turn into complete chaos or imprisonment. Martial law will break out. They will become the sheep for a change. These are not going to be the people who will survive a catastrophic event.
Even if I was invited to an underground utopia on the eve of disaster, I would decline. I rather take my chances above ground than be stuck underground with the worst of the worst this world has to offer.
I would love to get a web cam down there though and watch as all hell break loose, scene by scene. That would be more entertaining that any reality TV show.

The elite are using the abstract systems, as a means to bring our species onto a sustainable course. It's too late to ride this out without major repercussions. At this point in the game, it's not about what we really want to be, it's about what is, and how best we can mitigate the damage from all the "good days" we've had over the decades.
Hiding deep underground or inside of a mountain is the last place I would want to be.

I tend to agree. It feels like we're on the precipice of an event horizon, like the last note before the jack-in-the-box pops up. I did quite a bit of research on events and found out that there is an absolution of cycles within cycles. Whether it be solar cycles, earth cycles, global event cycles, galaxy cycles, climatological cycles, and so on. There are so many different cycles around us, but what I noticed is that we are soon to see a merging of many cycles at one time. I won't go into any specifics as there are dozens of cycles ranging from lunar to galaxy wide. Going into specifics will only encourage a railroad debate on which one is 'THE' one. I will say this. We are at a zero point for a 63million, 600,000, 100,000, 13,000, 1,500, 22 year and other cycles. They all correllate with a series of prophesies already noted in this thread. In knowing this, I do indeed feel there is an event pending, and this was without the downward spiralling human events like an over-escalating technology, dying industrialism, economic bubbles everywhere, foolish wars for global resources, imperialism, unsustainable overpopulation, and the like.
I'm not a chicken little or a doomsdayer, but in analysis of these timetables, we're in for one hell of a ride....
