What happens if we say to you that there are 170 secret underground cities in the U.S. Sounds scary, isn’t it? Well, it seems a theory taken from a science fiction movie, but the person behind it is not exactly a nobody… Catherine Austin Fitts, former official of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, has stirred up dust again after declaring that the U.S. government has built at least 170 underground cities since 1998. But why? And no, we’re not talking about simple bunkers. According to what she said in an interview with Tucker Carlson, the goal of these facilities would be to ensure the survival of the global elite in case of an apocalyptic-scale catastrophe. An alien invasion could be coming, but those at the top (the elites) would always be thinking of their own salvation while the lower classes sink into the void…
$21 billion of public money
Fitts claims that all of this was possible thanks to the diversion of about $21 billion from the public budget between 1998 and 2015. The enormous figure appears in a 2017 economic report prepared by economist Mark Skidmore. And although no physical evidence of these cities has been presented, Fitts insists the data is there and that the logic behind the unofficial spending points to “off-the-radar” infrastructure.
Where would these cities be?
Not all of them would be underground, at least not under continental land. Somem she said, could be located under the ocean or in strategic coastal areas. And they would be connected by a secret transport system that uses advanced, possibly military, technology. Fitts even mentions “unknown” energy sources developed specifically to power these compounds in total isolation.
They wouldn’t be simple shelters
What she describes goes far beyond the typical atomic shelter. We’re talking about true underground cities, with systems designed to operate without contact with the outside world for long periods. Some, according to her words, would even have strategic functions linked to classified space programs.
Who is Catherine Austin Fitts?
She’s not someone who came out of nowhere. She was Assistant Secretary of Housing during the presidency of George H. W. Bush and has also worked in the financial sector. That said, in recent years she has gained notoriety by being linked to very controversial theories, such as those questioning Covid-19 vaccines or proposing mind control scenarios carried out by the elites.
Her critics accuse her of fuelling disinformation. Her supporters, on the other hand, believe she’s saying out loud what many suspect in silence. The truth is that, for now, she has not presented physical evidence of these supposed cities. Only figures, statements, and a healthy dose of institutional suspicion.
And what if some of this were true?
The idea of secret underground infrastructure is not entirely outlandish. There are documented precedents. There’s the Cheyenne Mountain bunker in Colorado, or the one under the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, both designed during the Cold War to protect top government officials in case of a nuclear attack.
But going from those facilities to a network of 170 self-sufficient cities, connected and packed with cutting-edge technology… is a huge leap. One that, for now, has no confirmation.
But, in case it is confirmed, it would be a statement from the elites: they do not care about the rest of the population, promoting an even more selfish world. What will happen to those who cannot afford even one of those bunkers?
Between fact and doubt
The story of underground cities is not new, but every time it’s mentioned it spreads with force again. The difference now is who says it and in what context. Without physical evidence, it remains a theory. But one that, like so many others, lives in that uncomfortable space between what we know, what we sense… and what we’d rather not discover.
