APPLE BUILDING A NEW PENTAGON TO SUPPORT FRESH MILITARY AMBITIONS
August 18 2011
Cupertino, CA – There was a time, believe it or not, when Apple almost went under. The stock had collapsed, management was in chaos, and successful companies hardly considered a purchase even at bargain basement prices. In short, Apple was doomed, and not all that long ago.
Now Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world, generating billions of dollars in revenue and changing the technological and social landscape of the planet. They haven’t simply become a force, they have become the undisputed dominant power in tech, in a world which relies on tech more and more, and there is no sign they are starting to slow.
In fact, the company is only expanding, literally. Last week the company released floor plans of a proposed new headquarters in Cupertino, a facility which will be larger than the Pentagon, the headquarters for all branches of the U.S. military. With that new facility some are speculating that Apple has now started to set its sights outside producing iPhones and has started to make a play to become a nation unto itself.
“Apple has the internal economy, they have the land, and now all they need is a military. Now they will apparently have the base for such a brain trust and all they will
need are training facilities. There are no shortage of volunteers,” said a Silicon Valley insider. “It’s been a public secret for a while now. Apple has not been content to simply be another company. They realize that they are bigger than a number of countries already and they want o make this happen.”
The new facility is about fifty feet larger than the Pentagon. It’s not clear how deep into the ground it goes.
“Keep in mind that they have an army already out in force. They have recruitment facilities spread across the country and so many people are already linked into the philosophy. In many ways they will only need to flip a switch and they will have an instant army,” continued the insider. “This facility is the last step really. Once this is complete there will be no stopping the company. They will turn their legions on and split from the U.S. proper and there will be little anyone can do about it short of starting a war.”
It’s not clear what type of military gear Apple has amassed in their current facilities.
“It’s going to be a new day, I can tell you, and you are either on board or you areout,” continued the insider. “Serve or die, that has always been Apple’s philosophy. It might change if Steve Jobs dies, but that’s unlikely.”
It’s believed that more than fifty million people currently own iPhones, the majority of which will likely switch sides.
“Basically if you don’t come over to Apple you will lose all Apple privileges and that is a terrifying thought to most people. I’m sure most will just concede rather than fight,” continued the insider. “This is coming, whether people like it or not. There is really no way to stop things now.”
Apple stock prices rose on the news.
