They are going underground

Why a new mass psychosis — a bunker one — is being imposed 

One might think that a bunker psychosis is all down to the scorching summer sun that struck the heads. But not to that extent!.. The essence behind what is happening must be different. Let us try to figure it out.

Information curtain

Once you start reading about all those bunkers and related statements by European Union politicians, Internet search engines quickly lead you to the expected result — the construction of shelters by the example of the main Nazi criminal of the planet. Allegedly, the present day villains on a global scale also want to go underground until better times, after which to undergo a plastic surgery — and run off. That is unlikely, though, since Washington has other plans for them. Moreover, it is easier to write them off than to spend money on service staff.  
In general, so far the level of politicians — those who advocate for the euro — is to intimidate their population and come up with implausible horror stories that Lukashenko and Putin are about to attack and take away Lithuanian and Polish lands. No matter how many times we have stated that we abide by peaceful policy and are not going to attack anyone, Western propagandists have distorted all the statements, turning them into a militaristic agenda in order to create a terrifying picture for European information consumers of our countries almost marching in orderly rows to Warsaw or Vilnius. This is the kind of hoax that is fed to European society without further ado. Just a little more — and our countries may be accused of being on the point of occupying the NATO headquarters any day now… Meanwhile, we are not even aware of that. The Western propaganda ‘geniuses’ might as well claim that we secretly grow dinosaurs and drink tea with aliens. Joseph Goebbels would be jealous of how Europeans are brainwashed.

There are several explanations for the West’s hysteria. First of all, its hostile rhetoric is part of the systematic and methodical work against Belarus, when our country is demonised in the eyes of Western society. The information curtain is needed to achieve specific tasks. Thus, under the guise of information glut, Poland alone has increased the number of its military personnel to 200,000, plus the NATO contingent deployed in the region, and so on, and so forth. Secondly, it involves blatant grift.

Shelters in private homes

Let us move on to the examples now. Poland is no stranger to digging near Belarus’ borders. Recently, Poland’s Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has proposed to build a ‘line of defensive bunkers, trenches and ditches’ along the border with Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad. 
Warsaw then announced its intention to build shelters in private homes and underground infrastructure under the control of the Interior Ministry and the Ministry of Defence, as Rzeczpospolita reported. Poland wanted for this purpose approximately zł50 billion, which is equivalent to about $12.5 billion. 
It has been estimated that the country does not have enough shelters — 300,000 for 1.1 million people — and all of them are in a deplorable state. Poland’s police have even prepared a bill supposedly ‘on the protection of the population and civil defence’. By the way, there is a high probability that the population will finance this project. So save a penny, neighbours.
Could it happen that Brussels will have a fit of generosity? Apparently the money allocated for border fences, which were supposed to ‘protect the EU from migrants’, has long gone into pockets and been spent. At that time, Polish Defence Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz forced up the price like this, “We are mending the barrier on the Polish-Belarusian border, we are strengthening this barrier. The spending on these purposes is the highest in history.” Now, it is the time of bunkers… In this regard, Brussels is increasingly asking the question: Doesn’t the Euro cow give too much milk? 
Regarding the fence on the border with Belarus, which cost €400 million, Polish Defence Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz has admitted that it is absolutely meaningless and ‘could be crossed in just 25 seconds’. Alternatively, this big money could have been earmarked for a good cause — medicine, education, culture, and increased pensions and benefits…

Just a business

The Lithuanian and Latvian authorities are following Poland’s suit. Estonian political figures do not lag behind either, calling out for the construction of shelters on the border. However, Estonian Ministry of Defence revealed that for now bunkers would be used for... storing potatoes. Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur has remarked that the construction of 600 military bunkers on the border is not associated with the preparation for war at all. They are just a kind of vegetable storehouse, you know... According to the chief Estonian military officer, this is like the planned purchase of howitzers. And yes, the land for bunkers is supposed to be rented from local residents.  
In one interview, Pevkur was asked why the authorities have €60 million for bunkers but not €10 million for raising teachers’ salaries. Let us remind you that teachers were on strike in Estonia at that time demanding to increase salaries. The official replied with an air of finality that the funds for the bunker line are allocated within the defence budget, which amounts to €1.3 billion, whereas each ministry in Estonia must provide for its own needs. 
Let us cite another Estonian big wig, Kadi-Kai Kollo, head of the infrastructure department at the State Centre for Defence Investment, “We have signed a contract with an enterprise that is supposed to produce three different prototypes of bunkers for us. In September, we plan to start testing them. After the tests, we will be able to choose which type of bunkers will be used in the future.” 
Our officials, of course, comment on all of this briefly, “Nonsense”. 
In the meantime, the trend for the construction of underground shelters is spreading, or rather being spread, across all Europe. Billionaires who believe they are paying for personal security could not resist, either. However, the real threat is on the surface, very close — the one that is sitting in cosy armchairs of spacious EU offices.  
Let us not forget that all this ‘security’, like the concept of ‘eternal life’, is just a business.
Experienced marketers urge in their commercials, “Protect those you love.” Thus, under this slogan bunker builders from a Swiss office sell billionaires giant luxury shelters under their own palaces. Those who are even richer prefer to hide in inconspicuous godforsaken places without a soul around. The bunker can look almost like an entire underground city adorned with diamonds inside. The world of shelter can have a more modest size, of course — depending on the financial possibilities. Following the logic, where are those who have no money supposed to hide? 
In this regard, the idea suggests itself — it is likely that those who inflict fear in the European information field and promote bunkers might be in business. Surprisingly, they do not learn anything from history. Security and confidence in the future are achieved in a different way — through joining efforts in pursuing a peaceful policy, mutual respect, a desire to develop and grow stronger, not to the detriment of other nations.

Price of shelter

The Internet is now full of information that many residents of Europe are looking for an underground shelter. Thus, real estate buyers in Germany now want a bunker instead of a swimming pool or a garage. Prices for underground shelters start from $85,000. In addition, the Association of German Cities and Municipalities has called on the country’s government to spend billions on the construction of such structures, urging the German authorities to allocate at least a billion euros per year for this project over ten years ‘in order to protect the country and its population in the event of a possible military conflict’. Earlier, German government spokesman Wolfgang Büchner stressed that the conversation between Bundeswehr officers about an attack on the Crimean Bridge leaked online did not indicate Berlin’s preparations for war with Russia.

By the way

With the beginning of the coronavirus psychosis, the elite around the world began to prepare to go down into their underground bunkers at a signal and hide for at least six months there. It was not a nuclear war anymore that they were allegedly afraid of, but a deadly virus, as well as the threat of mass riots, when people could start fighting over food and toilet paper. Despite the fact that the construction of such bunkers cost millions of dollars, this business flourished.
