While the news media feigns surprise and continues to report on the "Shadow Government" deployed outside of Washington to run things in the event of an attack, we who have written about this "Shadow Government" know that this is nothing new.

I have to believe there is some purpose to this revelation now, as little is published without the blessings of those in power to use for their own personal agendas.

There are many underground facilities throughout the United States which are set up to house those people that are considered 'essential.'

It would be interesting to view the master list, wouldn't it?

What secrets might truly be uncovered if we were to find out who in this nation is truly worthy of surviving a catastrophic incident?

When I saw the news article published by the Federation of American Scientists (from the FAS Project on Government Secrecy, Volume 2002, Issue No. 17, March 4, 2002) in which they cited the Washington Post and the Cleveland Plain Dealer and their claims of breaking the news on the "Shadow Government, I became so intrigued that I had to read these stories.
