Wait, what? A webpage from the 90s? What do you mean? And how does that correlate to it being a bad source?

Well, these people are in a position to see a trend happening world wide. They just want to stay away from places that may have problems, mostly because it is more peaceful to do so. They saw corruption at it's finest in their jobs and want to get far away from those on capital hill.
It is nothing to worry about. Wouldn't you want to get away from all the chaos if you worked in it most of your career?
I think this is true information but the evidence may be misapplied.

Or show me who is going into hiding where?

It is not a wise thing to believe everything you read. A conspiracy blog is not a good source for a story posted on a conspiracy site. Particularly when that site is one that seeks to find the truth.
“Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories!” ~ George W. Bush
Why government shills & intellectual cowards LOVE the term "conspiracy theory"
The label "conspiracy theory" is commonly used to try to discredit criticism of the powerful in government or business. Of course, the American government has been busted in the last couple of years in numerous conspiracies.
In other words, high-level government officials have conspired to cover up the truth. Indeed, those who most loudly attempt to ridicule and discredit conspiracy theories tend to focus on defending against criticism involving the powerful. This may be partly due to psychology: it is scary for people to admit that those who are supposed to be their "leaders" protecting them may in fact be human beings with complicated motives who may not always have their best interests in mind.
It is scary for people to admit that those who are supposed to be their "leaders" protecting them may in fact be human beings with complicated motives who may not always have their best interests in mind. Indeed, long-term psychological studies show that approximately one-quarter of the American population has an "authoritarian personality", where they look for a "strong leader" to protect them.
Authoritarians not only don't want to hear that the most powerful people might be acting against their interest, they will aggressively defend against any such information. But it's not just the quarter of the population that can be said to clinically suffer from authoritarian personality disorder. All of us - to one degree or another - have invested tremendous hope in the idea that our leaders and institutions will protect us.

It's a crappy looking page. It looks like someone designed it 10 years ago. If it looks like crap, it's probably a Mickey Mouse operation. Are you going to buy a car from the guy that has a horrible hand painted sign and five cars in the lot? Well OK you might, but only if they included blinker fluid for the first 5k miles.
