“Because of the very nature of the way that Cheyenne Mountain’s built, it’s EMP-hardened,” states Admiral William Gortney, former head of NORAD and Northern Command. “And so, there’s a lot of movement to put capability into Cheyenne Mountain and to be able to communicate in there,” Gortney continued.

No one is hiding underground. That is and has been the base of operations for years. They are working round the clock, just so many do not seem to understand this fact and even think to thank them.

Any and all that work there deserve our thanks.
Why did they move above ground in the first place?
