The truth has been revealed finally in so many words, preperation is underway for the biggest event the world has ever known ,only problem is when are they going to tell the common man .All that is being said is the lies upon lies and will find out the real reason soon looking at it .
The West Wing of the White House is all-but disappearing behind an $86 million building project that is going to last for years.
And a mysterious tunnel is being built, fuelling speculation that a secret underground lair is what's really under construction.
In recent weeks, an expanding and sometimes ear-splitting zone of excavation has enveloped the mansion's famous office wing.
Heavy equipment and metal-and-concrete superstructures are part of the vast construction project.
The front door and the Marine who guards it have disappeared behind a high green-and-white plywood fence. From Pennsylvania Avenue, all that's visible is a sliver of second-floor roof line.
For years to come, the front yard at 1600 Pennsylvania will remain a noisy building site, say officials in charge of the White House's 'Big Dig'.
Officials describe the job as an overdue upgrade of underground utilities. That includes water and sewer lines, electrical conduits, pipes for chilled and hot water and steam heat systems, and storm sewers. Heating, air conditioning and fire alarm systems are being replaced. Some systems are getting backups.
What lies beneath: The secret passageway, Armageddon-proof bunker (and basement bowling alley) under the President's feet
The White House already has a number of tunnels — the exact number is, of course, classified.
The most well known is the underground corridor that leads to the President's Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), a supposedly nuclear-proof bunker located six stories under the East Wing.
It was to this bunker and its adjacent Executive Briefing Room that Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice, among others, directed Government operations on September 11, 2001.Pressing a panel on a wall adjacent to the President's rest room next to the Oval Office causes a secret door to slide open, leading to a staircase down to the passageway.
There is also talk of a tunnel linking the White House to Blair House across Pennsylvania Avenue.
Many presidents have made alterations to the building, built between 1792 and 1800.
While most of the alterations have been cosmetic alterations, the bunker that is now the PEOC was constructed during the Second World War for President Roosevelt.
The White House is also one of the first Washington public buildings to be adapted for wheelchair access, also for Roosevelt.
President Harry Truman completely refurbished the property in 1948, after it was declared to be in imminent danger of collapse. Truman moved into Blair House for the course of the rebuilding.
Computers and the first laser printer were installed during the Carter administration. Solar panels were also installed on the roof — later removed during the Reagan administration.
The house has a tennis court, a movie theatre, a jogging track, a swimming pool (located underneath the current press conference room), and a putting green.
By far the coolest addition, however, is a single-lane bowling alley in the basement — installed by bowling-mad president Richard Nixon.
Nero fiddles why Rome is burning they say ,but while we are burning and dying who is bowling.
