Catherine Austin Fitts is an amazing woman.  
  
I stopped watching TV around **2017**, after the first 1st season of **HBO's [Westworld](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEkZdgWu7mM)** (trailer, 1:33). The **[opening credits](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgvXU5R-xWs) show them being printed** (1:56). I'd seen the **1^st^ three seasons of Netflix Black Mirror**, by then; &amp; knew it was all **showing us what's in the works**.

.  
I wonder if the Netflix show was created, in part, to distract from REAL ones being built🤔. **The following article has excellent pictures**:  
  
"LinkedIn founder **Reid Hoffman has told the New Yorker that at least [50% of Silicon Valley’s wealthiest](https://spyscape.com/article/billionaire-bunkers-the-worlds-most-exclusive-safe-houses) have ‘*apocalypse insurance*’** \- either an underground bunker or a contingency plan in case of disaster. '*Saying you're buying a house in New Zealand is kind of a wink, wink, say no more*.' So **what are the one-percenters considering**?"   
.  
I'll add **a disturbing article** I saw on one of the bunker sites, new today, **Nov 13**, '25:  
  
US tech giant "**Microsoft launches its first [AI superfactory](https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/microsoft-ai-superfactory?dicbo=v2-JMLQGHG) to train massive models in weeks** \[instead of months\]. \[It\] has **connected two of its large data centers across Wisconsin &amp; Atlanta** to create an 'AI superfactory' that **accelerates the training** process of new AI models **at scale**." Remember, no questions for ten yrs🙄:  
  
"**[US House Passes 10-Year Moratorium](http://techpolicy.press/us-house-passes-10year-moratorium-on-state-ai-laws/) on State AI Laws**." The **B**ig **B**eautiful **B**ill would "ban states from enforcing laws regulating artificial intelligence for 10 years." I wonder if he was mocking us with the **BBB** (**6**uild **6**ack **6**etter). FYI @rick
