LETTERS FROM THE UNDERGROUND Many military insiders and contractors claim the USA and other countries have built secret underground and underwater bases, perhaps for survival in the event of a cataclysm or for more sinister purposes. arly on in my research on underground bases and tunnels, I began to receive occasional postal letters, emails and first-hand personal anecdotes from my readers and public lecture audience members. As the years have gone by, the letters, emails and personal anecdotes continue to trickle in. As you might surmise, some of the mail and stories have been most interesting. They have been so interesting, in fact, that I want to present some of this information for your consideration here. I'm sure it will interest you just as much as it has interested me. I want to say that I believe there is a substantial kernel of truth in the accounts you are about to read. I also want to say that, although I absolutely lack the time and money to travel around the country and world checking out the particulars of every last sensational story that crosses my path, I have nevertheless strongly relied on my research experience and knowledge of the subject matter to sift out obvious tall tales and wild stories. What remains for you to read is the credible remnant that I judge to have the ring and feel of truth. Often I have been struck by the carefully staged and maintained illusions that we accept as the consensual reality of everyday life. The propagandistic news on television and radio and in the newspapers and news magazines, the many false pronouncements by government, the deeply entrenched journalistic and scientific censorship and other sources of falsehood and deceit flowing from educational and religious institutions all serve to foster the mass delusion that everything is, in reality, as it appears to be. Nothing could be further from the truth—especially in the nether realms of underground and underwater bases and tunnels, where the operative rule is "Out of sight, out of mind"! So without further ado, on to the underground mailbag! Subterranean Labyrinth Beneath the NSA at Fort Meade, Maryland Deep beneath the NSA (National Security Agency) headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland, midway between Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Maryland, lies a top-secret subterranean complex. In his masterful exposé of the NSA, The Puzzle Palace, James Bamford alludes to the mammoth computing centre that lies beneath the NSA HQ:' "...the NSA's enormous basement, which stretches for city blocks beneath the Headquarters Operations Building, undoubtedly holds the largest and most advanced computer operation in the world." This is the electronic machinery the NSA uses to eavesdrop on electronic communications the world over, including in the United States. James Bamford says that this "basement" full of supercomputers extends for "city blocks". I am sure you will agree that that is impressively huge. One of my sources, who had been briefly stationed at Fort Meade during the 1970s, accidentally stumbled into this mammoth "basement" one day and fully corroborates Bamford's account.

One day, while working in the ‘building’, I noticed a door next to the stairs by the east entrance where I came in at. There were no markings on it, so I felt I could enter and not get in trouble.
