Gov secret: U.S. is building a mysterious underground facility in Israel

[libertygrl]

By: Barbie Crafts

A mysterious underground facility called “Site 911” is being planned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The Washington Post reported on Feb. 22 that this project, first reported in November by Walter PIncus, will cost over $62 million.

Site 911 also includes six other buildings to be built above ground there on an air force base near Tel Aviv. The facility will have shock-resistant doors and protection from radiation. According to Walter Pincus in November, there are plans for classrooms on Level 1 and an auditorium on Level 3.

The Washington Post reports that only American firms can bid on the construction contracts, and the guards will only be Israeli Air Force veterans. There are even restrictions that will be placed on non-Israeli employees; they can only come from certain countries. Palestinian employees are forbidden.

Apparently, we won’t know the truth behind this government secret anytime soon. The Washington Post reports that a representative of the Pentagon says that only an IDF defense minister would be able to answer questions about the purpose of the facility.

$62 million won't get you much in government spending.

We have an Armed Forces Retirement Home in my town that was ruined by Hurricane Katrina. The replacement cost was $193 million.

US to "oversee" the construction. Doesn't say the US will be paying for it (or who else is either for that matter). Also says $62 million includes six other buildings.

Mystery ‘Site 911’ underground building in Israel to cost $62 million

By Al Kamen

Our colleague Walter Pincus wrote in November about a mysterious, five-story, underground facility that the Army Corps of Engineers was going to oversee for the Israel Defense Forces.

It was called “Site 911” and was to include the usual stuff: shock-resistant doors, protection from nonionizing radiation and such. Only U.S. firms could bid on the contract, a corps notice said. The structure will be on an air force base near Tel Aviv and the guards have to be Israeli air force vets.

Non-Israeli workers can only come from “the U.S., Canada, Western Europe countries, Poland” and a few other countries, including China, the notice said, which would at least save them the trouble of hacking our computers to get the info. “The employment of Palestinians is also forbidden,” the notice said.

When Pincus asked the Pentagon about the purpose of Site 911, he was told that only an Israeli Defense Ministry spokesman could provide an answer.

Well, we don’t know what it is, but we now know how much the building and six other above-ground buildings are going to cost: just a bit over $62 million, according to FBO Daily.

I will add a planetarium for them for a few million.

I'd bet my silver stack that THIS is some government spending that Glenn Beck would approve of...

No. You. Di-iinnnt..

Air Force guards make me think this is something to do with their (admittedly extremely effective) missile defense systems.

If they're overseeing it,that means they have more experience in that type of structure/technology.Your legislature recently voted on an agreement with Israel.(Amash voted in favour).So look at that bill for clues.
