On the subject of D.U.M.B.S , I bet the ventilators are use for our soldiers and our allies.
Is there more well known DU.M.B.S in other parts of the world other than the US?
Ah, thank you. Maybe it will be used for the people that are human trafficked and are stuck down their with them.

Maybe it will be used for the people that are stuck in the D.U.M.B.S with the Deep State.

Steam Tunnels Under Capitol Hill
Washington, D.C.
100 years later, they're still down there.
A CRUMBLING NETWORK OF OLD utility tunnels under Capitol Hill connects 24 government buildings to the Capitol Power Plant. The original tunnels (marked above with yellow dashes) were excavated in 1908 to supply steam and electricity to new congressional office buildings and the recently completed Library of Congress.
Running along First Street, the utility corridors passed over the Washington Terminal Company’s railroad tunnel and under the Library of Congress book tunnel. The dimensions were cramped and swampy: Tunnel workers shared the 7-foot-tall, 4.5-foot-wide space with steam pipes that raised temperatures over 100 degrees.
The steam tunnels were later expanded to the north to link up with Union Station, the Government Printing Office, and the old Post Office.
Construction on top of the First Street railroad tunnel was problematic, and in 1949 the Washington Post wrote that “vibration from the trains below, and traffic above, has caused the tunnel to settle unevenly from 18 to 24 inches.”
The original steam tunnel branch was abandoned in place in 1950 following construction of a parallel tunnel under Second Street. These newer passages were slightly larger, at 12 feet by 10 feet, but the temperature still hovered at around 90 degrees. Worse still, they were insulated throughout with asbestos.
In 2006, the 10-man AOC tunnel crew made headlines with complaints about workplace danger and crumbling concrete walls. An NBC video from the time provides a rare glimpse into the steam tunnels. This set into motion a long overdue effort to repair the tunnels that was completed in 2012.
