• "They Built Cities Beneath Your Feet: The 170 Bunkers They Don't Want You to Know About" (blogspot.com) — Just a short drive from Blue Ridge Summit, the Raven Rock Mountain Complex—often called the “Underground Pentagon”—operates as a secretive military command center dug deep into the mountain. This long-form investigation traces how Raven Rock and other bunkers like Mount Weather and Cheyenne Mountain fit into a vast, controversial continuity-of-government network allegedly funded by trillions in off-the-books federal spending. It raises sharp questions about who gets protected underground when catastrophe strikes.
