A former U.S. government official has made a bold claim that the federal government secretly constructed a vast network of subterranean cities for the elite to survive a global catastrophe.
Catherine Austin Fitts was Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H. W. Bush.
She alleges that 170 underground bunkers have been built across the U.S. — and even beneath oceans off the country’s coasts — to prepare for a “near-extinction event.”
Trillions Spent on Subterranean Cities
According to Fitts, construction of these underground facilities began in 1998 and was completed by 2015, with approximately $21 trillion in taxpayer funds funneled into the project.
“It’s preparation for catastrophe,” Fitts said during a recent interview on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, as reported by Realtor.com.
No Evidence, Unless the Locations are Found
The former Housing official did not provide concrete evidence for her claim.
Instead, she referenced a 2017 study by economist Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University, which alleged large sums of unauthorized spending within the Departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development.
