(End of the American Dream)—If a large asteroid was heading toward our planet or a nuclear war was imminent, there are underground facilities where our leaders would be able to take shelter in order to ensure that the U.S. government continues to operate. But as far as the general public is concerned, we would be on our own. There are no shelters for us, and we would not be allowed inside the underground facilities where our leaders would be hiding. Surprisingly, we have just learned that the underground facility where congressional leaders took shelter in the aftermath of 9/11 is “getting an upgrade”…
A secretive underground FEMA base where congressional leaders hid following the 9/11 attacks is getting an upgrade.
But what exactly are workers doing at Mount Weather? Well, that’s classified ‒ and the contractors who are doing the work have top secret security clearances.
We don’t know what “upgrades” these contractors are making or why they are making them.
Is something coming?
Do our leaders know something that they aren’t telling us?
I think that it is worth noting that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Mount Weather just last month…
Mount Weather, which is also known as the High Point Special Facility, has both above- and below-ground facilities as part of its 564-acre site, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited the complex in early April, posing for photos outside with the complex’s fulltime fire department and armed FEMA security guards.
Obviously Kristi Noem considers whatever is going on at Mount Weather to be so important that she wanted to see it herself.
Of course Mount Weather is not the only underground facility that exists. According to USA Today, Mount Weather is actually “part of a network of underground facilities scattered across the United States designed to protect federal leaders during a crisis”…
Buried in the Blue Ridge Mountains 64 miles west of Washington, D.C., Mount Weather is part of a network of underground facilities scattered across the United States designed to protect federal leaders during a crisis. It takes less than 30 minutes by helicopter to reach Mount Weather from Capitol Hill.
One of our most prominent “continuity of government” facilities is located in Colorado. The Cheyenne Mountain complex covers more than 5 acres inside Cheyenne Mountain, and it contains 15 buildings.
According to the official NORAD website, the complex is “a hardened command and control center” that is designed to survive a nuclear attack…
At the height of the Cold War in the late 1950s, the idea of a hardened command and control center was conceptualized as a defense against long-range Soviet bombers. The Army Corps of Engineers supervised the excavation of Cheyenne Mountain and the construction of an operational center within the granite mountain. The Cheyenne Mountain facility became fully operational as the NORAD Combat Operations Center on April 20, 1966.
Over the years, the installation came to house elements of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), U.S. Strategic Command, U.S. Air Force Space Command and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). Under what became known as the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center (CMOC), several centers supported the NORAD missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control and provided warning of ballistic missile or air attacks against North America.
The NORAD website also tells us that it was built for a total of 142.4 million dollars in the 1960s…
Groundbreaking: June 19, 1961
Completion: Feb. 6, 1967
As NORAD Combat Operations Center: April 20, 1966
As NORAD alternate Joint Operations Center: May 12, 2008
No. of buildings inside: 15
Complex size: 5.1 acres
Total stone excavated: 693,000 ton sof granite
Mountain height: 9,565 feet
Total construction cost: $142.4 million
Current caretaker: Space Base Delta 1, Peterson Space Force Base (U.S. Space Force)
There are some people that are convinced that Mount Weather and the Cheyenne Mountain complex are just the tip of the iceberg.
Catherine Austin Fitts served as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during the first Bush administration, and she is claiming that trillions of taxpayer dollars have been spent to create a vast network of underground facilities…
The federal government has secretly spent trillions building an elaborate network of subterranean “cities” where the rich and powerful can shelter during a “near-extinction event,” a former Bush White House official sensationally claimed.
About 170 such bunkers have been built across the country since 1998 – including some resting beneath the oceans off the US coast, 74-year-old Catherine Austin Fitts told Tucker Carlson during a recent appearance on his podcast.
To back up her claims, Fitts pointed to research by Michigan State University economist Mark Skidmore which shows 21 trillion dollars in unauthorized government spending from 1998 to 2015…
Fitts, 74, who is originally from Philadelphia, cited research by Michigan State University economist Mark Skidmore, who released a report in 2017 stating that he and a team of scholars had uncovered $21 trillion in “unauthorized spending in the departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development for the years 1998-2015.”
It is interesting to note that this unauthorized spending stopped shortly before President Trump’s first term.
Someone really needs to ask President Trump if these underground facilities actually exist.
It would be fascinating to hear his response.
According to Fitts, the network of secret underground facilities is connected by an extremely sophisticated tunnel system…
And the bases are connected by an elaborate transportation system, she added, while claiming they are powered by a secret energy system known only to the military.
“I’m convinced that this energy exists. If you look at a lot of the really fast ships, flying around the planet, they’re not using classical electricity,” she said, in an apparent reference to a spate of bizarre unidentified aerial phenomena supposedly flying around the skies in recent years.
Those alleged bases are used not just as doomsday bunkers for the elites, Fitts claimed, but also as places for the government to operate “secret” operations like a “secret space program.”
We certainly have the technology to construct very long underground tunnels.
The Boring Company has proven this. They have created tunnels that allow autonomous electric pods to travel underground at extremely impressive speeds.
But I would love to see visual evidence that the tunnels that Catherine Austin Fitts is talking about actually exist.
Interestingly, at one point during his interview with Fitts, Tucker Carlson actually admitted that he knew a contractor that worked on an underground project near the White House…
Tucker said he knew a contractor who worked on one of these bases and that person shared some interesting information with him.
“I knew a contractor who worked on one in the city of Washington D.C., and I remember him telling me about a power box, like a transformer box on Constitution Avenue…He told me that was actually the exit, the egress from the White House,” Tucker recalled.
“And I thought, ‘that’s kind of crazy in the middle of this big city where I live … that you could build something like that without me knowing it,’” he added.
Hopefully we will get some more answers about these secret underground facilities in the days ahead, because the American people deserve the truth.
Personally, I would love to see conclusive proof that establishes whether the claims that people are making are true or not.
But one thing that we do know for certain is that Mount Weather is getting an upgrade, and that seems rather odd at a time when other government programs that have been deemed not necessary are being cut back.
Do they know of an extinction-level event that is coming?
If so, why aren’t they telling the general public?

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
