The cause of such an event is debatable—will an asteroid collide with Earth, or will nuclear warfare break out between two colliding super powers?
Forbes Contributor Jim Dobson noted that in addition to "preparing for future escape plans with 'vacation homes' in remote locations," and "private planes ready to depart at a moment's notice," some of the wealthiest individuals in the U.S. are buying large amounts of land that can be used for self-survival.
Tele-Communications CEO John Malone owns a total of 2.2 million acres, with massive amounts in Wyoming and Colorado. CNN founder Ted Turner owns 2 million acres that include land in Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico and North Dakota. AEG CEO Philip Anschutz owns 434,000 acres in Wyoming. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos owns 400,000 acres of land in Texas. And sports mogul Stan Kroenke owns 225,162 acres of land in Montana.
Dobson also noted that this type of preparation extends worldwide to moguls in Australia and New Zealand who are buying massive amounts of farmland. Because money and precious metals would be virtually useless following a major disaster, self-sustainable territory and the tools that come with it appear to be the new hot commodity.
The series of "Doomsday maps" produced by Gordon-Michael Scallion with the Matrix Institute give insight into what the world would look like if a massive Asteroid or comet collided with Earth, and led to a polar shift that resulted in a cataclysmic change. While it is all still speculative, NASA's Asteroid watch website estimates that such an event could happen as early as 2020.
As The Free Thought Project reported in February, the concept of the super-rich preparing to survive a worldwide disaster is nothing new—former Facebook product manager Antonio García Martínez and Reddit CEO Steve Huffman are among the moguls openly preparing for a major crisis.
"I think, to some degree, we all collectively take it on faith that our country works, that our currency is valuable, the peaceful transfer of power—that all of these things that we hold dear work because we believe they work. While I do believe they're quite resilient, and we've been through a lot, certainly we're going to go through a lot more," Huffman said.The U.S. government is also preparing for the worst. In March 2012, former President Obama signed an executive order titled, "National Defense Resources Preparedness" into law, giving agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Agriculture, Department of Labor and Department of Defense the authority to seize resources, materials and facilities it deems necessary to ensure national defense.
Whether a worldwide crisis is caused by an asteroid hitting the Earth or a nuclear war breaking out, the decisions made by the elite should always act as signals for the public. When the individuals who already have massive amounts of money are preparing for a time when money is no longer valuable and self-sustainable farmland is the most precious resource, then it is time to start paying attention.
Scallion is a fraud with a worse track record than Al Gore. Here's some info from a 2005 post titled The Absurdity Of Gordon Michael Scallion:
For the past 15 years, Scallion has been predicting that the entire landscape of the planet would be torn to pieces, and much of it flooded with water. In a 1994 interview with David Sunfellow, Scallion predicted that before 1998, our country would be totally DEVASTATED by earthquakes and tsunamis, and the U.S. would be forced to re-structure itself as 13 COLONIES!
During this same time period, Japan would be "completely swallowed" by the ocean; a "pole shift" would occur between 1998 and 2001; Mt. Rainier would explode in an eruption greater than Mt. St. Helens; a 9 point earthquake would strike Mexico City; 50% of Florida would be inundated, and a portion of the lost continent of Atlantis would be discovered off the coast of Florida; water would become "as valuable as gold" before the turn of the century; and by the year 2000, a "second sun" would emerge in the sky.
(Below my brief commentary, I am including the entire list of Scallion's predictions from his '94 interview with Sunfellow, which outlines his astonishingly poor hit ratio.)
