A former White House official alleges the U.S. secretly spent $21 trillion building underground cities for the elite in doomsday scenarios.
A former high-ranking U.S. official has made a startling claim about secret underground cities in the United States.
She alleges they were built using an estimated $21 trillion in undisclosed government spending.
Catherine Austin Fitts once served as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H.W. Bush.
In a recent interview with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, she discussed the alleged secret underground developments.
Fitts says she investigated financial discrepancies within federal departments and discovered vast sums of unaccounted funds.
She believes the missing funds were used to build secret underground bunkers meant to protect the ultra-wealthy during major global disasters.
Former White House insider revealed US built $21 trillion secret underground cities for ‘near-extinction event’
Fitts says her suspicions began in 2015 when she found unexplained financial anomalies, including $6.5 trillion in unaccounted military adjustments.
This amount far exceeded the U.S. Army’s expected fiscal budget.
Over time, she claims, she tracked approximately $21 trillion in “unauthorized” government expenditures between 1998 and 2015.
Her analysis concluded that the missing funds were likely spent constructing approximately 170 secret underground cities across the United States.
She suggested some of these facilities may lie beneath oceans but provided no conclusive proof.
“We have built an extraordinary number of underground bases and, supposedly, transportation systems,” Fitts claims.
The purpose behind the underground bunkers
Fitts believes these underground projects serve two main purposes.
They are meant for preparing for large-scale global catastrophes and advancing top-secret operations, possibly including secret space programs.
The alleged goal of these facilities is to provide secure refuge for America’s most powerful individuals and officials.
They are intended for use during near-extinction scenarios like nuclear war or environmental collapse.
She described the hidden cities as having advanced infrastructure and transportation systems, far more complex than anything publicly known.
However, due to the covert nature of the supposed projects, little is known about their exact location, scale, or functionality.
Theories and comparisons to fictional scenarios
Though sounding like science fiction, the claim taps into public fascination with government secrets and underground survival bunkers.
Some have compared these underground cities to the “Vault” systems in the popular Fallout video game series.
In the game, specially chosen individuals are sheltered underground after a global disaster.
Unlike fiction, Fitts suggests these underground developments are not meant for the general public.
Instead, they are reserved exclusively for the elite, those with wealth, power, or political influence.
This assertion feeds into existing concerns about social inequality and the privatization of safety in times of global crisis.
Despite the gravity of the allegations, there remains no independently verified proof that such underground cities exist.
No visual documentation, location data, or credible eyewitness accounts have been made public to support the claims.
Many find it hard to believe $21 trillion vanished into secret bunkers without any major whistleblower or leak evidence.

The fourth user said: There is a storage facility in Alaska where they store every seed know to man in case of a near extinction event, so I would believe this.
