Wanna Hear It First? Cheyenne Mtn., Bye Bye!

zipperzap
Home of NORAD - the Gov't is going to kick NORAD out
of the complex.

I can't tell you why - but it will be made public soon.
it'll be used for domestic 'problems' instead of a hard
command site designed to resist incoming ICBMs.

...JUST when you thought things couldn't get much worse!

    I've heard that rumor also, Walmart should be open within sixty days if NORAD can get all their crap out of there.

    Old news - they said the reasons are economic and claim the current political climate also makes it obsolete.

    actually this is good.
    too many in the world knew of its location.
    the good news is wherever the new one is (where theyre moving to,) NO ONE KNOWS.[;)]

    So, due to the current political climate, nukes have dropped off the face of the earth?

    Wow, that's awesome!

    I would like to get my hands on that facility. It would make a great wine cellar.

    I'll have to check the auctions, I could use a stargate.

    It is pretty useless without the code book, which is on a separate auction.

    I got a tour of the place back in 1979. My Uncle was a AF Col living in Colorado Springs and got me on the tour.

    The LT Col that did the briefing was a pilot in the 438th fighter sq, F-106's in Upper Michigan when I was in the same unit in 1960-64! Quite a shock.

    The place was very impressive and I am surprised that they are going to scrap it. I hope they just plug up the entrances and keep it on inactive statue for future needs when the Muslim come to visit!

    From what i was told the place [NORAD] was not nearly a fracton of how deep it should have been buried. The soviets had not one; but a whole regiment of missiles targeted on the site. They would have made the whole mountain disappear. [V]

    Cheyenne Mountain is made of granite. It would probably take a whole regiment of missiles to poke a hole in it.
