Internationally, moguls in Australia and New Zealand have been snapping up farmland at record paces. The communities would have been called NewVistas, but local opposition killed the development plans. "Belmont will transform a raw, blank land into a futuristic city built around a flexible infrastructure model" added Belmont Properties.Įven a wealthy member of the Mormon church, David Hall reportedly had plans for 20,000 person self-sustained communities throughout the country, including the first in Vermont with a recent 900-acre farmland purchase. According to the company announcement "Belmont will create a forward-thinking community with a communication and infrastructure spine that embraces cutting-edge technology, designed around high-speed digital networks, data centers, new manufacturing technologies and distribution models, autonomous vehicles and autonomous logistics hubs." The company details the plans including 3,800 acres for office, commercial and retail space, 470 acres for public schools and there are plans for 80,000 residential units. Many of them also have their private planes ready to depart at a moment’s notice.īillionaire Bill Gates recently acquired 28,000 acres in Arizona to create his own city called Belmont. Upon further research, many billionaires are preparing for future escape plans with “vacation homes” in remote locations. Billionaires such as John Malone (currently the largest landowner in America, owns 2,200,000 acres including Wyoming and Colorado), Ted Turner (2,000,000 acres in Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico and North Dakota), Philip Anschultz (434,000 acres in Wyoming), Amazon’s Jeff Bezos (400,000 acres in Texas) and Stan Kroenke (225,162 acres in Montana) all have amassed major land. It appears that dry territories in the United States such as Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming and Texas are all very popular regions for the wealthiest individuals. All property is far away from coastal areas, and in locations conducive to self-survival, farming and coal mining.īell Ranch land in New Mexico owned by billionaire John Malone Bates Land Consortium With all of this knowledge of future mapping, do the world’s financial leaders know something we don’t? Consider how many of the richest families have been grabbing up massive amounts of farmland around the world. This could ultimately lead to cataclysmic change and a map similar to Scallions original vision. However, he did say it is far more likely an asteroid hit would cause a polar shift. Turcotte, an expert in planetary geology at the University of California Davis, Earth and Planetary Science Department, he tells me that the predictions of earthquakes causing a planetary shift and coastal flooding is for the most part nonsense. NASA scientists estimate that they have found at least 90 percent of these enormous, near-Earth asteroids, and none of them pose a threat for the future. While smaller asteroids can do great damage on a local scale, experts think that space rocks must be at least 0.6 miles wide to threaten human civilization. Astronauts aboard NASA's Orion space capsule will visit the rock in the mid-2020s. According to John Holdren, then director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, “After it arrives at the asteroid, the spacecraft will pluck a boulder off its surface and then fly along with the space rock for a while, investigating the potential of a deflection strategy known as the "enhanced gravity tractor." The probe will then head back toward Earth, eventually placing the boulder in orbit around the moon. NASA has even created an Asteroid watch website with detailed listings of discovered objects as well as a detailed Impact risk chart which lists the year 2020 as the earliest increased activity risk.ĭuring the Obama administration, plans were developed for NASA to launch a robotic probe in 2021 toward a near-Earth asteroid the current target is a 1,300-foot-wide (400 m) rock called 2008 EV5.
