Ah, so he's entirely unqualified to write on the topic, and also not in the list of the first 10,000 people this "elite group of billionaires" would reach out to to talk about their super secret prepper plans. 100% fake article.

Sounds like our boy Douglas is having himself some delusions of grandeur.

I genuinely think this guy made this entire article up. No billionaire prepper is going to invite this nutjob to ask him questions about things like, you know, whether or not their security compound needs an HVAC system. Lol.

Am I the only one who thinks this author is absolutely full of it?

Sorry, but he writes like an 8th grader. 99% of the sentences in this article could be popped into /r/iamverysmart.

Why would a group of 5 random billionaire preppers "trick" him into coming to talk about their elaborate doomsday compounds. They gain absolutely nothing by talking to this guy.

And why are they asking this random author "Should my compound have its own air supply?"

Sorry but I genuinely think this author just made this whole thing up, or is severely exaggerating what actually happened.

Do billionaires have preparation for global economic collapse or planetwide warfare, up to and including a security compound for them to flee to? Definitely.

Would they talk about it with this pseudointellectual, for absolutely no reason at all.. to ask him questions about their builds, or whether or not they should have their security guards wear collars? Absolutely not.

Police can compel people to provide biometrics to unlock their devices, but passwords can be forgotten.

What's being missed here is that courts have ruled that police (read: government) can compel people to provide biometrics to unlock their devices, but passwords can be forgotten.
