A former Bush administration housing official has made a bold allegation that the U.S. government has secretly constructed a $21 trillion underground city designed to shelter the elite in the event of a near-extinction event.
Catherine Austin Fitts, who once served as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, believes trillions in unaccounted federal spending were funneled into the creation of approximately 170 hidden facilities across the country. According to her, these installations are connected by advanced transit systems and could function independently of the nation’s above-ground infrastructure.
Fitts suggests the facilities may serve as sanctuaries for powerful individuals during potential global disasters, such as environmental collapse, war, or pandemics. She also speculates the structures might support covert defense operations and advanced technology systems, including off-grid energy sources.
Although no physical proof has been provided to verify the existence of these underground cities, the claims have reignited public scrutiny over government transparency and the handling of taxpayer dollars. The idea has also drawn renewed attention to luxury survival shelter initiatives now being marketed to wealthy clients by private companies.
As speculation swirls, questions continue to mount over whether disaster preparedness for the few is being prioritized over public protection for the many.
