Right! I mean come on now. Let's keep a rein on things we really need to be wary of. Just my opinion, anyway. Sure, the world is full of secrets. But we got plenty of trouble already on our plate without dreaming up any new ones we can't even see. The existing system of bureaucracy.... which we already know about ...is already plenty to worry about...
Mate, I'll send you a handcrafted tinfoil hat and some reading material that'll blow your mind! In time, you'll "want to believe" like Mulder in the X Files!

Project Iceworm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project..."Project Iceworm was the code name for a top secret United States Army program during the Cold War to build a network of mobile nuclear missile launch sites under the Greenland ice sheet. The ultimate objective of placing medium-range missiles under the ice — close enough to strike targets within the Soviet Union — was kept secret from the Danish government. To study the feasibility of working under the ice, a highly publicized "cover" project, known as Camp Century, was launched in 1960.[1]"
Mysterious, ice-buried Cold War military base may be unearthed by climate change http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/0...
“There is in fact an underground base in Svalbard. It is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It lies 120 metres inside a sandstone mountain at Svalbard on Spitsbergen Island. Spitsbergen was considered ideal due to its lack of tectonic activity and its permafrost. It is 130 metres above sea level and locally mined coal provides power for refrigeration units. It is believed that the vault can preserve seeds for hundreds of years. The facility is managed by the Nordic Genetic Resource Center, but there are no permanent staff on-site. Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland began construction of the seed vault in 2006. It officially opened in 2008, and has a capacity to preserve 4.5 million samples.” –Michael Holtstrom, excerpt from essay on holtstrom.com
Assuming the engineering and infrastructure challenges are not insurmountable, Earth’s North and South Poles would seem obvious places to site large underground facilities. Certainly, they’re sufficiently isolated and therefore far removed from prying eyes.
In the Northern Hemisphere, above or near the Arctic Circle, the likes of Greenland, Iceland, Russia’s Novaya Zemlya, Norway’s Svalbard, Northern Canada and Alaska would seem to fit the bill; and in the Southern Hemisphere, Antarctica is as remote and even more underpopulated.
It’s simply a question of whether humanity has the technology to construct massive facilities beneath the ice. Officially, the answer would probably be No. However, when you factor in suppressed technologies – such as those in the classified sectors of the military – then the answer is likely to be a resounding Yes!
The enigmatic, mostly inhospitable and largely ice-covered landmass of Greenland is one of the most isolated and sparsely populated places in the world. It would seem to be an ideal place to build underground bases. And if there is a Splinter Civilization that has more advanced technologies than official science is aware of then the inhospitable Danish-governed country with a population of less than 60,000 people would seem to be one of the very best places this side of the Moon for safekeeping of such technologies. After all, Greenland has at various times throughout history been called a continent in itself and its landmass is similar in size to India or the entire Middle East.
Many investigators claim the US Military conducted a large-scale Cold War nuclear program beneath Greenland’s surface. The ambitious program, which was apparently managed by the US Army, went by the codename Project Iceworm and involved the construction of a series of nuclear missile launch sites beneath the Greenland ice sheet and conveniently within striking distance of the Soviet Union.
These top-secret sites were apparently constructed under the ice so that the Danish Government would remain unaware of them as America did not have permission to build nuclear missile sites in Greenland.
As covered in the preceding chapters, the global elite have numerous underground bases – some of them confirmed despite being off-limits to non-military personnel or to anyone beneath the highest levels of government. That confirmation has usually come via reluctant acknowledgement from the Military Industrial Complex, tireless investigative reporting by a handful of brave journalists or, last but certainly not least, publication of declassified documents.
This accounts for those clandestine subterranean bases we now know of. However, there are persistent rumors that hundreds more such secret underground facilities exist around the world.
Many conspiracy theorists believe the US Army had, or still has, several underground cities – yes cities – beneath the Greenland ice sheet where all manner of secret technologies are being developed and maintained.
One of those underground sites whose existence has been confirmed is a former US Army facility in Greenland known as Camp Century, which was part of Project Iceworm and was also previously just a conspiracy theory. The Camp Century site beneath the Greenland ice sheet was selected by US Army engineers in May, 1959. Construction began in 1960 and it was soon a fully-fledged subterranean city that ran entirely on nuclear power.
Camp Century has long been declassified and is now an Arctic research facility. The US Army’s activities there were officially abandoned in 1966, reportedly due to the unstable conditions that existed beneath the ice. However, given there was a B-52 nuclear incident in Thule, Greenland, that occurred only two years later, in 1968, a skeptic could be forgiven for linking it with Project Iceworm and also for wondering whether the project was actually axed.
Continuing with the Cold War theme, in an article headed US Army’s top secret Arctic city under the ice, Curezon.org claims, “It eventually came out that the ultimate objective of Camp Century was of placing medium-range missiles under the ice – close enough to Moscow to strike targets within the Soviet Union”.
Curezon also mentions a now declassified US Army film showing “the nuclear-powered construction process of Camp Century, beneath the ice of central Greenland”.
The article continues: “Details of the missile base project were classified for decades, first coming to light in January 1997, when the Danish Foreign Policy Institute (DUPI) was asked by the Danish Parliament to research the history of nuclear weapons in Greenland during the Thulegate scandal.
“A report confirmed that the U.S. stockpiled nuclear weapons in Greenland until 1965, contradicting assurances by Danish foreign minister Niels Helveg Petersen that the weapons were in Greenland’s airspace, but never on the ground. The DUPI report also revealed details of Project Iceworm, a hitherto secret United States Army plan to store up to 600 nuclear missiles under the Greenland ice cap…
“Danish workers involved in the clean-up operation claimed long-term health problems resulting from their exposure to the radiation”.
Incidentally, the declassified US army film referred to in the article is freely available to watch online, having been uploaded to various video sites.
In the comments section beneath one such website that posted video footage of Camp Century, one viewer wrote, “The machinery and the whole project makes me think of the Thunderbird animations.”
Who knows, maybe the underground facilities in the popular British science fiction TV series Thunderbirds were inspired by Camp Century or other similar confirmed or rumored subterranean bases of the global elite.
It’s unlikely any of us will ever know how far the Splinter Civilization’s rabbit holes extend beneath our feet. And whenever we see sprawling underground cities in sci-fi movies and television episodes, or read about them in novels, most of us still think, This plot sounds far-fetched or The scientific concepts are ridiculous. Right?
