Title: For Our NM guys - $1 billion 'ghost town' to be built in New Mexico
Post by: sledge on May 10, 2012, 06:00:14 PM
Sounds like jobs and a place to live away from the crowds if tshtf.  If they are going to waste our money the least they could do is build us some bol's.

Oh, look at Mr. I was in Socorro for two days last year... Dude you know that I work a stones throw North of Socorro everyday in that heat. When I say its hot I've got a frame of reference.

But if you think it's important to get some inside Intel on this deal then I will see what I can do, but my prairie dogs won't go unmolested.

I wonder if Doppelganger will fill in for me?

You guys can have the heat. I'd rather have it a little on the colder side. Well, 70 would be nice, but if it had to be hotter or colder, I'd take it colder. I'd prefer 32 degrees over 90 degrees.

Now we just need to send a qualified carpenter extraordinaire down there to work.  He should figure out if this is a cover operation for a new BOL for gov and corporate officials, and of course keep a set of extra keys on hand "just in case" the carpenter and a few of his buds need a place to stay at a later date.

Any ideas who could accomplish such a mission?   Hmmmm.....  >:D

Its a great idea, no doubt.  Often times, it would behoove one to have a few locations where you could be for two or three weeks to lay low, where nobody can find you or expect where you will be, not even your very close family members.

The problem with that EJR is that this town is being built as a test bed for new technology. The owners have a vested interest in keeping people out.

Sure, but these owners, and the people who the owner pays to keep people out, will not be around, and will be protecting their own, when the SHTF. 

Intel may be somewhat hard to get, but simply knowing locations, and maybe any passive security may be a good thing to know.  Just saying.

There are probably much easier ways to getting locations that I was talking about above, so you're right, might be a long shot and just over all too difficult to even consider as viable options.  Maybe a last ditch type thing, though?
