Richards Gebaur - 12/13/2007 Pictures By: B.A. Brooks
B.A. Brooks - 12/13/2007 UPDATE: 12/14/2007 After my day on the base, I started looking into how this was all done without public vote or knowledge. Here is what I have found. Richards Gebaur is located between Belton, Missouri and Grandview, Missouri but the land is annexed to Kansas City, Missouri, so the people of Belton and Grandview were not allowed to vote or decide what was going to happen in their own backyards. The vote was on The Kansas City Ballot, in which the people from these distant areas knew not enough about the entire project to make a good and proper decision and it was passed. From what I have gathered, there was a very huge concern and outcry by the general public of both Belton and Grandview, Missouri to stop this project which fell upon deaf ears. Both of these cities are going to be under major construction phases very soon to compensate for all of the train and truck traffic entering their small cities. How could this happen? The Kansas City - City Council pushed this through hard and fast and I imagine there were many kickbacks and under the table deals done during that time which ensured the vote to be passed. This is American politics in action. |
Once listed as one of America's top 100 airports, Richards Gebaur Air Force Base is now being transformed into the main train rail hub for The North American Union (The NAU/The SPP). Richard Gebaur's famous, 20 inch thick, 5000 foot long runways are being destructed to lay the miles and miles of train tracks which will be an international in-land port for trains that are shipping goods across North America. In 2007 the city of Kansas City, Missouri transferred ownership of Richards Gebaur to The Port Authority, which then turned management of the former base over to 
ped by train from Canada and Mexico to be distributed across North America by rail and truck. Richards Gebaur will be transformed into a high tech rail network, underground storage facility and above ground office hub. I was told today that CenterPoint has purchased an additional 700 acres that is being implemented into the new facility, and the entire facility will be renamed soon. Kansas City is well known for it's huge underground storage facilities which run for miles underground and is home to many local, national, and internationsl businesses. Driving through the property today, one will already see the trains that have started movement through the facility, and Mazda Automotive has a hub station already active on site. There is also still a large military presence on this facility including all armed forces, but from what I saw today 
it mostly Marines and Army, although I also witnessed a small Navy and Air Force presence. In the coming week I will go back to Richards Gebaur so I can video tape and document everything I see. It is rumored that there is a very large internment camp being constructed on site that is in a restricted area. I will bring any evidence I find to the public arena and this page, plus next week I will be traveling to Neosho, Missouri and KC SMART PORT = Transportation Logistics Center of North America
