During the Cold War, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, tasked with excavating sprawling
secret bases, originally turned to the Paperclip underground construction expert Xaver Dorsch,
34
once the director of the Todt Org under the Nazis. By 1960, RAND Corporation was busy
surveying copper, iron, and limestone mines; in Santa Barbara County, it was diatomite strata; in
Arizona, under the Grand Wash and Vermilion Cliffs; near Rifle, Colorado, it was an oil shale
mine in the Book Cliffs; and in southern Alaska, under the glacial ice and rock of Kenai
35
Peninsula. In 1964, the Army Corps of Engineers chose a dozen sites, and the U.S. Air Force
Deep Boring Project chose sites under the Columbia Plateau, central Montana, the Sawtooth
mountains, the Snake River Plain, the Denver Basin, the Wasatch/Tavaputs Plateau, the San Juan
range; the Kaiparowits Plateau, Pecos and the Natanes plateau, the Aquarius mountains,
Mountain Home range, south and west central Nevada, including Pyramid Lake and Carson
Sink.
Ground disintegration and high explosives were used. Boring machines melt rock, so dirt,
sand, and rock were disintegrated and no concrete had to be mixed or hauled. Bechtel’s 1974 tool
list was a long way from a backhoe: high-pressure water jet (continuous), low-pressure water jet
(percussive), high-frequency electrical drill, thermal mechanical fragmentation, conical borer,
turbine drill, explosive drill, pellet drill, ultrasonic drill, spark drill, electric arc drills, hydraulic
rock hammer, subterrene, induction drilling, water cannon, electrical disintegration, microwaves,
electron beam gun, jet-piercing flame, forced flame, Terra-Jetter, lasers, and plasma.
During the Reagan-Bush-Cheney reign, the Defense Nuclear Agency, U.S. Bureau of Mines,
and U.S. National Committee on Tunneling Technology (USNC/TT) called a meeting to discuss
36
deep base digging. Present were government agencies, corporate and university consultants,
public utilities, Local 147 of the Compressed Air and Free Air Tunnel Workers, and tunnel
boring machine (TBM) corporations like the Robbins Company (Kent, Washington), Jarva, Inc.
(Solon, Ohio), and Bechtel Nevada at the top of the field with lasers, plasmas, microwaves,
electron beam guns, and electrical disintegration techniques. They discussed access shafts,
missile nests, interconnecting passageways, adits (horizontal passageways), living quarters,
electric power from iron-chlorine fuel cells, generators from waterfalls, rivers and coalmines,
highways, cities, repair shops, and magnetoleviton (maglev) high-speed trains traveling at 2,000
miles per hour via magnetic fields. 37

THE SUPER SOLDIER CULTURE OF VIOLENCE

U.S. Special Forces Command, Hurlburt AFB, Mary Esther, FL, and Eglin AFB under the command of Beale AFB in
Marysville, CA; coordinates: U.S. Army Delta Forces (Green Berets); U.S. Navy SEALs (Black Berets), Coronado,
CA; USAF Blue Light (Red Berets) Strike Force; Dolphin Society MK-ULTRA programming is at Hurlburt AFB:
F3EA = find, fix, finish, exploit, and analyze. Special Forces self-finance by confiscating money and valuables from
covert military operations to fund other clandestine operations.

The new American military boot print is F3EA: find, fix, finish, exploit, and analyze. It is
about bypassing formal declarations of war in favor of endless “operations” under the cover of
the Wars on Drugs and Terror that justify covert lightning strikes by small, well-trained, high-
tech teams. In fact, “short of war” warfare looks more and more like one CIA psyop after
another, more and more blurring the line between combatant and noncombatant, national
sovereignty and expedience, and condemning the three branches of American governance to
being little more than servants in thrall to the National Security Act of 1947.
