Catherine Austin Fitts, a former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under President George H. W. Bush, has made a startling assertion that trillions of dollars have been secretly allocated to construct an underground network for the world's power players. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Fitts detailed her team's research, which points to the existence of approximately 170 underground bases and cities, some even beneath the ocean, funded by unaccounted federal money.
The origins of this claim can be traced back to a 2017 report by Mark Skidmore, an economist at Michigan State University. Skidmore's analysis uncovered $21 trillion in unsupported adjustments within the Department of Defense and HUD over a 17-year span from 1998 to 2015. Fitts, now an investment banker, believes these discrepancies are indicative of funds diverted to construct these hidden facilities.
Skidmore's investigation began when Fitts highlighted an alarming figure: $6.5 trillion in unsupported Army spending for the fiscal year 2015 alone. Considering the Army's budget was set at $122 billion, the report underscored that the adjustments were over 54 times the authorized spending by Congress.
Fitts speculates that these networks of subterranean strongholds could serve as sanctuaries for the elite during cataclysmic events. Beyond acting as mere bunkers, she suggests they might harbor government "secret projects" and potentially a "secret space program." She also posited the use of advanced energy sources to power these facilities, beyond the realm of conventional electricity.
Adding to the intrigue, Tucker Carlson recounted a conversation with a contractor who claimed to have worked on a base beneath Washington, D.C. This contractor described a seemingly ordinary transformer box on Constitution Avenue as a secret egress point from the White House.
These allegations gain further momentum against the backdrop of a burgeoning market for luxury doomsday bunkers among the affluent. A company named SAFE has recently launched a $300 million underground facility called "Aerie," which boasts a $20 million membership fee. Located near Washington, D.C., this development could be the first in a series of high-tech bunkers across the United States.
While some may dismiss Fitts' claims as conspiratorial musings, they underscore a broader issue of government transparency and elite preparedness for global emergencies. The public's awareness of these allegations, and the potential misuse of taxpayer dollars, may lead to increased scrutiny and demand for accountability in governmental spending and secret undertakings.
