The federal government has secretly spent trillions building an elaborate network of subterranean “cities” where the rich and powerful can shelter during a “near-extinction event,” a former Bush White House official sensationally claimed.

About 170 such bunkers have been built across the country since 1998 – including some resting beneath the oceans off the US coast, 74-year-old Catherine Austin Fitts told Tucker Carlson during a recent appearance on his podcast.

“It’s preparation for catastrophe,” Fitts said, according to Realtor.com.

Fitts, who served as assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H. W. Bush from 1989 to 1990, claimed $21 trillion in taxpayer dollars were funneled into the project between 1998 and 2015.

She provided no evidence for her claims, but said a 2017 report from Michigan State University economist Mark Skidmore indicated that much “unauthorized spending” had been uncovered across the Departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development during that time.

After two years of combing through records related to already documented underground military bases, Fitts says she also looked into “allegations” of a wider bunker network.

Comparing her research against the missing cash, Fitts said she was able to make a “guess” about how many facilities there really are.

If it is true, would it really surprise anyone?

No.

There has been far too much abuse of taxpayer money for too many years with zero accountability.

That's about as unlikely as getting building 7 wired up for Sept. 11th.

Why is it unlikely?

Anyone with money is thinking this way like Zuckerberg building his underground bunker in Hawaii.

Messing with a police officer's Constitutional right to whack a dangerous criminal, is just going to get America's entire Gestapo pissed off at the president. Let it go!

Because the hundreds of thousands of construction workers required to do this level of work would either have to be sequestered then eliminated to keep this secret, or somehow they found every single one of them to be "stand up guys" and not talk about it?

So who built it? Robots? I call bullshit.

The US government is accustomed to building such places.

The people of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, helped keep the Greenbrier resort's bunker—designed to hold the entirety of Congress—hidden from 1958 to 1992

Do you really think they would give up their bunker at Greenbrier and not build another?

 

[Harry Dresden]

This was seriously a TV show on Hulu.

yea i saw the 1st season...

Why aren't there photos then? How many people built this city and kept their mouths shut?

Sounds like a conspiracy or an old wives tale.

The US government kept Greenbrier a secret for decades with no photos to show the public.

Again, would they give up their bunker and not replace it?

No.

The world only gets more dangerous, not less.

I don’t think it’s any secret that there are secret mountain bunkers the government can retreat to in case of nuclear war. Framing it as waste now, sounds like Ruzzian propaganda.

A $21 TRILLION structure?!?!? Constructed in the darkness of night without anyone leaking the details beyond this woman?

Come on maaaan...

She's a bit nutty.

Trillions? The US Budget in 2025 was $7 Trillion.

 

[WorldWatcher]

We've known about these structures for years.

They are called "vaults".

I think the most recent one was "Vault 76" located in West Virginia.
