In 1995, a man named Phil Schneider stood in front of audiences across the country and told them he had helped build the government's underground bases. Not read about them. Built them.

Within months, he was dead.

Part 1 of this series covered the bunkers the government admits: the Greenbrier, Cheyenne Mountain, Raven Rock, Mount Weather. Every one of them was hidden until someone exposed it. This part is about the people who say there is more down there, what they claimed, and what the official record does and does not say about them.

The Geologist

Schneider said he was a geologist and explosives man who blasted tunnels for deep underground bases, carrying high-level security clearances. He described a network far larger than anything the public had been told: bases connected by high-speed trains, machines that bored through solid rock, and a shadow government that answered to no one below the surface.

His most explosive claim was Dulce. Schneider said that in 1979 he was part of a crew working on an expansion of a base beneath the mesa near Dulce, New Mexico, when a firefight broke out underground. He said he was badly wounded, and that what he saw down there was not entirely human.

In January 1996, Schneider was found dead in his apartment in Oregon, not long after his last lectures. The death was reported as a suicide. Accounts of how he died do not agree with each other, and his supporters have said for thirty years that the details do not add up.

What the Record Shows

Here is where it gets interesting. Search the public record for Philip Schneider and you find almost nothing. No public employment record. No public clearance record. No public medical examiner's report on his death. If you want to dismiss him, that silence is your argument.

But there is one federal trace. In 2018, the National Archives logged the release of records from an "FBI investigation on Philip Schneider."

Think about that. The government has never said a word about the bases he described. The death report has never been made public. But the FBI had opened a file on him.

Why would the Bureau investigate a man the official story treats as a nobody? The file exists. That much is on paper. Anyone can request a copy.

The Machines He Described

Schneider talked about boring machines that cut through rock faster than anything the public knew about. That sounds like science fiction until you look at the patent office.

In 1967, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission was assigned a patent for a "High Temperature Rock Drill," an apparatus "for drilling holes in the earth" with a heated tungsten tip. In 1972, it was assigned another, a "Method and Apparatus for Tunneling by Melting." That patent says the heat source "can be electrical or nuclear but for deep drilling is preferably a nuclear reactor."

Nuclear-powered machines that melt their way through solid rock. Owned by the government's atomic agency. On file by the 1970s, the same years Schneider said he was underground. The government will tell you these were only research. Maybe. But the machines he described were not his invention. They were on file in Washington.

The Others Who Talked

Schneider was not the only one.

Bill Uhouse said he spent years as an engineer on defense projects and worked on flight simulators for recovered craft inside an underground facility. He told that story until he died in 2009. No official record has ever been released confirming or denying his work.

Thomas Castello said he worked security at Dulce and described levels of laboratories running deep under Archuleta Mesa, on the Jicarilla Apache reservation in northern New Mexico.

No federal agency has ever acknowledged a base under that mesa. No document puts one there. But remember the Greenbrier. The government gave that bunker thirty years of silence, too. A missing record is not proof that nothing is there. It is only proof that they have not told you.

Sixteen Months Late

Then there is the place where the claims meet concrete you can actually see: Denver International Airport.

According to the government's own auditors at GAO, Denver's new airport was supposed to open in October 1993. It opened February 28, 1995, sixteen months late. The first formal construction budget was $2.08 billion. Construction alone came in at $3 billion, close to $1 billion over, and the whole project cost about $4.8 billion.

The official explanation for nearly all of it is luggage. A $193 million automated baggage system that never worked right, with bags meant to move between the terminal and the concourses "through a system of interconnecting tunnels."

So the tunnels are real. Nobody denies that. The Denver Public Library's own guide says flatly: "There are tunnels under DIA. They're used for maintenance and baggage." The question was never whether there is something under Denver. The question is how much, and what for.

The Art on the Walls

Then there is what they chose to hang inside.

A mural with a soldier in a gas mask holding a sword over mothers clutching dead babies. A 32-foot blue horse with glowing red eyes outside the terminal, a horse that killed its own sculptor in 2006 when a section of it broke loose from a hoist in his studio and pinned him. Bronze gargoyles sitting in suitcases in baggage claim. A dedication stone naming the "New World Airport Commission." For a while, a 26-foot statue of Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead, stood out front.

The airport has an explanation for every piece. The murals end in peace. The gargoyles protect your bags. The commission was a temporary group that planned the opening party. Anubis was an ad for a King Tut exhibit. And in 2019, the airport turned the whole thing into a marketing campaign, saying, "We've decided to lean into the theories and take them head on."

Read their explanations. Then ask yourself why a public airport ran sixteen months late, went a billion dollars over on construction, dug tunnels under its terminals, filled itself with death imagery, and decided the best answer to every question was a joke.

My opinion, labeled as my opinion: when the people who built something laugh at you for asking what's under it, that is not an answer. That is a deflection.

What You Can Do

The men who talked cannot answer questions anymore. You can still ask them.

– Request the FBI file on Philip Schneider from the National Archives FOIA office, citing its 2018 release (reference RD 58394). A denial is a record too.
– Read the patents yourself. Search U.S. Patents 3,357,505 and 3,693,731 and see what the government's atomic agency was building in the 1960s and 70s.
– When someone laughs at you for asking, ask them one thing back: name a single secret bunker the government admitted before it was exposed.

Start today. Pick one claim in this brief and look up the primary document yourself. Do not take my word for it, and do not take theirs.

The full research is in Below the Earth's Surface: The Secret World of Deep Underground Military Bases, free in the Red Pill Library. Part 1 of The World Below covers the bunkers the government admits, and Part 3 follows the money. I also put this subject into song form, released by Vigilant Protocol as DUMBS. Protocol Media is building an archive for every topic it covers: books, briefs, music, art and short-form video, backed by the Evidence, Founding and Acts Records. The work is underway and the documents are still being added, so the page keeps growing.
