• The Continuity of Government (COG) Tunnels

  A Cold War theory claiming that the United States built not merely emergency shelters but an underground duplicate capital — a “Second Washington” — beneath or around Mount Weather and related continuity sites, complete with command rooms, communications systems, elite accommodations, transport links, and the capacity to govern after nuclear war. The theory grew from real continuity planning, secret relocation infrastructure, and the public’s fragmentary awareness of buried federal facilities.
