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.
She claimed the 170 only applied to bases on US soil and around its coastline - alleging that more exist across the world.
And the bases are connected by an elaborate transportation system, she added, while claiming they are powered by a secret energy system known only to the military.
"I'm convinced that this energy exists. If you look at a lot of the really fast ships, flying around the planet, they're not using classical electricity," she said, in an apparent reference to a spate of bizarre unidentified aerial phenomena supposedly flying around the skies in recent years.
Those alleged bases are used not just as doomsday bunkers for the elites, Fitts claimed, but also as places for the government to operate "secret" operations like a "secret space program."
Comment: Fitts isn't the only one who has talking about the US's secret underground bases. SOTT interviewed author Richard Sauder about his book Underwater and Underground Bases. See: SOTT Podcast: Richard Sauder: Underwater and Underground Bases
The existence of elaborate underground government bases and bunkers is no secret.
During the Cold War, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex was built inside a Colorado mountain to serve as a hardened base of operations for various military operations. It is currently used by the US Space Force.
And from the 1950s through the 1990s, a bunker intended to house all of Congress in the event of a calamity was built and operated in total secrecy beneath the bustling Greenbrier resort in West Virginia.
Fitts, who worked as an investment banker before joining the Bush administration, also floated a number of other outlandish ideas while speaking to Carlson - including that the COVID-19 vaccine had DNA-modifying ingredients, and that a shadowy global cabal is trying to use mind control to enslave the world, according to the Daily Mail.

Fitts is a straight shooter, at no time have I been given reason to suspect her of fabricating stories.
Which is why I question the dig in the last paragraph.
you know, as much as she's guessing, I dont doubt it, in fact, with their villainous history, I'd be more surprised if they hadn't made some fancy underground futureworld for themselves to party in while the above turns to shlit.

But I'm guessing it will be as safe and effective as the jabs.
In the 80s, I met a woman's husband who drove deep underground drilling machines. He said they were tunnels for subways in the Western USA? You can find many inventions concerning underground drilling machines, some that melt the earth creating a glazed glass like interior of the melted walls.
In the 50s and 60s fall out shelters were promoted to citizens as protection from the possible nuclear war. What does that mean for the government?
In the fluff "disaster" movie Deep Impact, the President announces deep "caves" were being constructed in Missouri to house a million people where they could survive for 2 years following the destruction of all surface life on the planet.
There is one former ex-military analyst, Real Gene Decode, who has a map of the bases and tunnels in the United Staes. Where does the USA have fast trains?
Someone has to pay for the development.
as for henchmen. I believe there is an endless supply. People kill their own parents/kids for money. So...
only in certain compositions.
For those old enough to remember, for decades all across the USA, people were complaining of hearing noises underground, often at night. Sometimes police "investigated", but nothing was ever found.
So, if the US government had 30 years and $30 Trillion to work with, what Catherine Fitts has described sounds very do-able. What she also said is that the USA is no longer of, by, and for the people, rather it is of, by and for the "continuity of Government", and the mega (MAGA?) wealthy.
but probably not very many were paying attention to what all the dump trucks were doing or going.
possibly logs. But what are they specified under. You can bet it's not labeled secret tunnels. Lol
You rightly pointed out the issue with identifying the spending, ("secret tunnels for government leaders and the mega rich") - so they just knowingly fail the audits. They don't seem to care. A strategy that is alarming all by itself...
The actual taxpayers of that money would never get a break from an audit.
Ahh the good old days. When stealing $3 trillion was good enough.
