Others are more obscure, hidden by fate or purposeful deception, such as the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, the super-secure facility where Vice President Dick Cheney was secreted after the 9/11 attacks, and Germany s Wewelsburg Castle, which was intended to become the mythological centerpiece of the Nazi Regime.
