Doomsday Safe-Haven Offered Under Mojave Desert

Doomsday safe-haven offered at bunker under California's Mojave Desert

A company with a doomsday plan is taking money for what it promises will be a comfortable, nuke-proof bunker under the Mojave Desert, with an atrium, gym and jail, and sloppy joes and pearl potatoes on the menu.

Robert Vicino, who runs the Del Mar-based company called Vivos, has collected deposits on half the 132 spaces planned in the 13,000-square-foot bunker in Barstow.

The facility is among several popping up across the country as fears of doomsday have been fueled recently by strong earthquakes, terrorism and predictions of the world’s end in 2012 when the ancient Mayan calendar is said to end.

“I’m careful not to promote fear. But sooner or later, I believe you’re going to need to seek shelter,” said Vicino, a real estate salesman whose career started with advertising and moved on to timeshares.

The political climate now in some ways reflects the Cold War era, when many Americans dug backyard fallout shelters, said Jeffrey Knopf, an associate professor of national security affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey.

“There’s a lot of free-floating anxiety out there about the dangers that terrorists will get nuclear weapons and it multiplies,” he said.

Facilities such as Vicino’s are attracting interest in other states such as Oregon and Kansas, where one engineer is developing underground survival condos for $1.75 million.

In Barstow, $50,000 will get a bunk in a four-person room. Vicino is still taking reservations: $5,000 for adults and $2,500 for kids. Pets are free.

So much fear "In the old days we knew who to fear, these days we just don't know who to be scared of" ....it is a truism "That which you fear will come upon you".

Rather than bunkers, both physical and of the mind, what is needed is a push for truth, love and harmony. It is time to really take stock of what and who we are, not to run and hide.

Yes that quote is insane.

And then there are those who just put fear-mongering behind them and refuse to participate at that level of emotion given that there are so many others productive things one can do with their energy then to get caught up in fear.
