We all know that humans cannot keep secrets, yet it would seem "the powers that be" have a knack for hiring the few who can.
Really? I think you don't know human nature as well as you might think. Secrets are kept for hundreds and thousands of years. But you'll never know that, because it's a secret.

1. Construction. I hear people mention nuclear tunnel boring machines. Great concept. I haven't read any articles about these machines, but my initial thought is how would you get rid of the radioactive material? I'm also curious as to how these tunnels would remain intact with earthquakes, plate movements, etc.
Me --> Google.

Thanks. I'm not questioning the potential existance or use of nuclear boring machines. I asked about getting rid of the radioactive material and how the tunnels would remain intact from earthquakes, plate movements, soil liquifaction, etc. Your link doesn't address those topics.

Just so we are clear - there is no burden of proof to prove a negative. If you simply claim there are purple tea pots circling mars I can not disprove this. However there is no burden on me to disprove a negative - it is up to you to prove your claims in the first place.
It is not simply profoundly irrational - but borderline stupid to even try (yes to even TRY) to make a claim.
If you make an outrageous claim (Mars is surrounded by purple tea pots, there is a secret maze of underground bases, or the world is not flat but in fact round) then the burden of proof is upon you to substantiate your claims.
I hope this makes sense - because if it doesn't the world would simply fall into cognitive anarchy - its pretty damn simple.

Has anybody been out to Dulce, New Mexico recently? Would love to hear any new findings.

I looked at your links. Again, your links didn't lead to a DUMB. Take Dulce. It is the size of Manhattan (supposedly). Yet nobody noticed it being built. Uh, right. The Moscow facility is more like a shopping center. The UK facility is bigger, not clearly it is not Manhattan.
If you don't like my tone, it's a free country. Just read the next post when you see my name. I don't sugar coat anything, nor will I be offended it someone skips my posts.

Any fool can draw a map. This doesn't mean it is reality.
Japan has maglev trains. Does the existence of such technology mean I can make a statement like "There is a maglev train on the dark side of the moon." I think not.
BS is cheap. Actually doing real engineering is a bitch.
Don't let facts get in the way of your fantasy.
