A former housing official who worked under President George H. W. Bush has made an astonishing claim that the U.S. government spent years funneling money into the creation of a secret underground “city” where the rich and powerful can shelter in the event of a “near-extinction event.”
Catherine Austin Fitts, who served as the assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing between 1989 and 1990, made the shocking allegations during an appearance on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s podcast, although there is no concrete evidence to support her claims.
Fitts, 74, who is originally from Philadelphia, cited research by Michigan State University economist Mark Skidmore, who released a report in 2017 stating that he and a team of scholars had uncovered $21 trillion in “unauthorized spending in the departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development for the years 1998-2015.”
At the time, Skidmore noted that he first began investigating the unreported spending after he heard Fitts “refer to a report which indicated the Army had $6.5 trillion in unsupported adjustments, or spending, in fiscal 2015.”
“Given the Army’s $122 billion budget, that meant unsupported adjustments were 54 times spending authorized by Congress. Typically, such adjustments in public budgets are only a small fraction of authorized spending,” the report noted.

Most likely this is what they are referring to.
‘50s tech no longer a secret.
If true, I bet it’s under Denver International Airport or is what they’re using as a cover story re the alien underground base. /s
Yes, that's where all the lost luggage goes.
Read the story. This Fitts woman cited research by a guy named Skidmore, who started his research after hearing about it from Fitts. WTF?

Then he can lead folks to the underground facility to verify, right?
1000% agree - our government has too much money and the more they get the more they spend.
Yes, but then he has to kill them.
“...there is no concrete evidence to support her claims.”
Just ask Elon and his staff to look into it.
The Greenbrier bunker was a real thing—they offer tours these days:

The nuclear bunker was a dubious proposition even then—the logistics of getting people there before nuclear weapons hit were highly questionable.
Today it would be ridiculous—just a few minutes before a sub launch from the Atlantic to Eastern Seaboard targets.
In the case of an Eastern seaboard decapitation strike there are known bunkers in the west for continuity of government.
The NORAD Colorado site is one and supposedly there is one in Omaha as well.
And where is all the excavated material? What motivates people, to come up with all this BS?
Lets set aside the idea that this could even be built.
Operationally, even if unoccupied, would require a huge army to maintain it or it would quickly become useless.
If occupied, if it’s an “elites” only underground resort, there would need to be an additional army of folks to cater to their every whim.
I take this as another Tucker interview about “lizard people” or “demons causing him physical harm”. I like Tucker, but he is probably insane.
Easy to hide $21 million in federal spending.
Challenging to hide $21 billion.
Impossible to hide $21 trillion.
I cancelled Hulu, when handmaidens tale is their big hit, there's not much there for me.
Keeping something that big a secret would be impossible.

Rumsfeld stated on 9/10 $$$ 2.3 Trillion was missing from the DOD, did he mean stolen or just unaccounted for?
Much written about this missing trillions…

CAF is a regular on Coast to Coast AM.
Her stuff is entertaining. Sometimes.
I would not bet the house on much of her reporting.
It would not suprise me for the government to do this.
What surprises me is the idea that the “rich” would get in. The powerful, sure? They will use “continuity of government” as an excuse, but I suspect that you would see lots of senators and house representative’s families brought in much moreso than the ultra-rich, unless they had a pre-buyin that those in power would still honor after the SHTF happens. Once it does, money is nearly worthless.
