What Do They Know? Why Are So Many Of The Super Wealthy Preparing Bug Out Locations?

February, 2015
A
lot of ultra-rich people are quietly preparing to “bug out” when
the time comes. They are buying survival properties,
they are buying farms in far away countries and they are buying deep
underground bunkers. In fact, a prominent insider at the World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland says that “very powerful
people are telling us they’re scared” and he shocked his audience
when he revealed that he knows “hedge fund managers all
over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New
Zealand”. So what do they know? Why are so many of the
super wealthy suddenly preparing bug out locations? When the
elite of the world start preparing for doomsday, that is a very
troubling sign. And right now the elite appear to be quietly
preparing for disaster like never before.
The
insider that I mentioned above is named Robert Johnson. He is
the president of the Institute of New Economic Thinking, and what he
recently told a packed audience in Davos is
making headlines all over the planet…
With growing inequality and the civil unrest from Ferguson and the Occupy protests fresh in people’s mind, the world’s super rich are already preparing for the consequences. At a packed session in Davos, former hedge fund director Robert Johnson revealed that worried hedge fund managers were already planning their escapes. “I know hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway,” he said.
But
he didn’t stop there.
In
a separate interview, Johnson admitted that “very powerful people
are telling us they’re scared” and that the elite “see
increasing evidence of social instability and violence”. You
can watch video
of the entire interview below…
…
Wow.
His comments were backed up by Stewart Wallis, executive director of the New Economics Foundation, who when asked about the comments told CNBC Africa: “Getaway cars the airstrips in New Zealand and all that sort of thing, so basically a way to get off. If they can get off, onto another planet, some of them would.”
Of
course not all elitists are planning to jet off to the other side of
the globe.
Some
are planning to go deep underground when things hit the fan.
For
example, there is an underground decommissioned missile silo in
Kansas that has been transformed into luxurysurvival condos by a
real estate developer. The following is from a Wall
Street Journal article about
those condos…
The so-called Survival Condo complex boasts full and half-floor units that cost $1.5 million to $3 million each. The building can accommodate up to 75 people, and buyers include doctors, scientists and entrepreneurs, says developer Larry Hall.
Mr. Hall, who lives in a Denver suburb, bought his first missile-silo site in Kansas in 2008 and completed construction in December 2012. A year later, he says, the development had sold out. Work on the second security compound—the one where Mr. Allen bought a unit—is under way, and Mr. Hall says he is considering additional sites in Texas and elsewhere.
As former nuclear missile sites built under the supervision of the Army Corps of Engineers, the structures were originally designed to withstand a direct hit by a nuclear bomb. At ground level, they can be sealed up by two armored doors weighing 16,000 pounds each. Mr. Hall added sophisticated water and air-treatment facilities, state-of-the-art computer network technology and several alternate power generation capabilities.
Other
wealthy individuals are turning their current homes into high tech
security fortresses.
Those
that are involved in providing these kinds of services have seen
business absolutely
soar in
recent years…
Wealthy families across the country are shelling out millions to protect their loved ones from intruders, natural disasters or the apocalypse as home security goes increasingly sci-fi.
Companies that provide concerned homeowners with futuristic gadgets – and a priceless peace of mind – have revealed the growing demand of costly bunkers, passageways, panic rooms and recognition software.
Chris Pollack – president of Pollack+Partners, a design and construction adviser in Purchase, New York – told Forbes that, while security has always been important for the wealthiest clients, the spending on home security has noticeably grown in the past five years.
And the options available on the market are like something from a Bond film.
So
why are all of these wealthy people so alarmed?
Well,
the truth is that they can see what is happening.
They
can see that millions of people are
falling out of the middle class.
They can see that society is breaking down in
thousands of different ways.
They can see that anger and frustration are rising to unprecedented
levels. And they can see that things are likely to boil over
once the next major economic crisis strikes.
Even
though the economy is still fairly stable for the moment, signs of
increasing economic suffering are everywhere. For example, the
Los Angeles Times is
reporting that homeless encampments are rapidly spreading throughout
the Los Angeles area…
Over the last two years, street encampments have jumped their historic boundaries in downtown Los Angeles, lining freeways and filling underpasses from Echo Park to South Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, a city-county agency, received 767 calls about street encampments in 2014, up 60% from the 479 in 2013.
We
live at a time when almost everyone is getting poorer except
for the elite.
The top 1 percent now have close to 50 percent of the wealth in the
entire world, and each year wealth becomes even more concentrated in
their hands.
The
elite know that eventually a breaking point is going to come.
Those that are smart don’t want to be around when that happens.
And
we got a few clues about what things might look like what that time
comes from the recent “snow scare” in New York. Frightened
consumers wiped out supplies of bread, milk and eggs within just a
few hours. People started to take advantage of one another,
even the journalists seemed like they were on the verge of panic, and
virtually the entire city shut down.
All
of this over just a few snowflakes.
So
what is going to happen when we have a real crisis?
If
the elite are preparing to bug out, it is hard to blame them.
I
wouldn’t want to be right in the middle of a volcano when it erupts
either.
Life
is about to dramatically change, and signs of the coming storm are
everywhere.
I
hope that you are getting prepared for what is about to hit us while
you still can.
