Bush official claims US built secret $21T underground ‘city' for rich and powerful to live if ‘near-extinction event' happens
The federal government has secretly spent trillions building an elaborate network of subterranean 'cities' where the rich and powerful can shelter during a 'near-extinction event,' a former Bush White House official sensationally claimed.
About 170 such bunkers have been built across the country since 1998 – including some resting beneath the oceans off the US coast, 74-year-old Catherine Austin Fitts told Tucker Carlson during a recent appearance on his podcast.
'It's preparation for catastrophe,' Fitts said, according to Realtor.com.
A former housing official 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.' SAFE
Fitts, who served as assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H. W. Bush from 1989 to 1990, claimed $21 trillion in taxpayer dollars were funneled into the project between 1998 and 2015.
She provided no evidence for her claims, but said a 2017 report from Michigan State University economist Mark Skidmore indicated that much 'unauthorized spending' had been uncovered across the Departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development during that time.
After two years of combing through records related to already documented underground military bases, Fitts says she also looked into 'allegations' of a wider bunker network.
Comparing her research against the missing cash, Fitts said she was able to make a 'guess' about how many facilities there really are.

She claimed the 170 only applied to bases on US soil and around its coastline – alleging that more exist across the world.
And the bases are connected by an elaborate transportation system, she added, while claiming they are powered by a secret energy system known only to the military.
'I'm convinced that this energy exists. If you look at a lot of the really fast ships, flying around the planet, they're not using classical electricity,' she said, in an apparent reference to a spate of bizarre unidentified aerial phenomena supposedly flying around the skies in recent years.
Those alleged bases are used not just as doomsday bunkers for the elites, Fitts claimed, but also as places for the government to operate 'secret' operations like a 'secret space program.'
The existence of elaborate underground government bases and bunkers is no secret.
During the Cold War, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex was built inside a Colorado mountain to serve as a hardened base of operations for various military operations. It is currently used by the US Space Force.
And from the 1950s through the 1990s, a bunker intended to house all of Congress in the event of a calamity was built and operated in total secrecy beneath the bustling Greenbrier resort in West Virginia.
Fitts, who worked as an investment banker before joining the Bush administration, also floated a number of other outlandish ideas while speaking to Carlson – including that the COVID-19 vaccine had DNA-modifying ingredients, and that a shadowy global cabal is trying to use mind control to enslave the world, according to the Daily Mail.

Mette Frederiksen: Denmark's PM on Trump, Russia and Greenland's Future
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen leads what consistently ranks as one of the world's most peaceful countries. Her office in the neo-baroque Christiansborg Palace overlooks a picturesque capital city as orderly as any in Europe. But at the top of her agenda is preparing for war. From the East there is a growing menace from Russia as it battles Ukraine and prepares for possible attacks elsewhere in Europe, Frederiksen tells Newsweek in an interview in Copenhagen. At the same time, she must navigate Denmark's relationship with NATO ally the United States, which has been thrust into uncertainty by President Donald Trump's repeated assertions of his desire to take over Greenland, part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Kasper Løftgaard The world order established after World War II and the peaceful progress made since the end of the Cold War is in danger, Frederiksen says. That is, she believes, an immense challenge for a Europe that had grown accustomed to peace for 30 years and threatens to sideline other issues such as addressing climate change. "It's like we convinced ourselves that everybody wants to be like us, or everybody seeks peace and wants peace. But it's not the case. Russia does not want peace. They want war," she says. "I think they are willing to attack again in Ukraine, or another place in Europe." "I think it was an era. I think we are in the beginning of a new one with more uncertainty, an era that is more insecure and therefore also more dangerous. But I think the answers have to be the same. I mean that democracy has to win, and that all countries have to respect the UN Charter, so the principles have to be the same." Danish PM Mette Frederiksen, Peter Strauss Halsboe Jørgensen, Strategic Advisor and Newsweek's Matthew Tostevin Danish PM Mette Frederiksen, Peter Strauss Halsboe Jørgensen, Strategic Advisor and Newsweek's Matthew Tostevin Kasper Løftgaard Denmark is one of the smaller members of NATO and the European Union, with just under six million people—about the same number as Wisconsin. But it has been a pillar of both alliances, while sometimes taking a more independent line on European issues. Denmark rejected joining the euro and has retained its own currency, the krone, for example. In European terms, support for Frederiksen, 47, is holding up relatively well after six years in office. She was recently labeled Europe's "least unpopular" leader by polling group YouGov. Frederiksen has a broader support base than many as a Social Democrat whose tough immigration policies have helped neutralize support for the far-right. She is known by many Danes as "Mother," in part for having guided the country through the COVID-19 pandemic. Amager square, Strøget, Copenhagen, Denmark. Amager square, Strøget, Copenhagen, Denmark. Dag Sundberg/Getty The Greenland Issue Just as unexpected as the threat to Europe's peace was the forcefulness of the confrontation with the world's most powerful leader over Greenland. In Trump's first term, the seriousness of his bid for the strategic Arctic island was in question. This time round, Frederiksen is sure he is serious. "I have tried to de-escalate the situation, because in this world, with a very aggressive Russia, with a closer cooperation between Iran, North Korea and Russia, helped by China, I will do what I can to ensure that nothing goes wrong between allies and good friends and partners. But at the same time, we have to stick to the most important values and principles," she says. Frederiksen picks her words carefully. There is a steeliness in her blue eyes and just the occasional thoughtful smile as she goes over the existential threats to the world she grew up with—one in which Denmark was ever grateful to the United States for its role in World War II and then challenging Soviet power. Trump has not ruled out using force to acquire Greenland, whose residents ultimately seek full independence from Denmark but oppose a U.S. takeover.

More MADS CLAUS RASMUSSEN/Ritzau Scanpix/AFP via Getty "A situation where an ally attacks another ally would be very, very wrong, and it will challenge not only the relationship to the Kingdom of Denmark, but the trans-Atlantic relationship and that would be, I think, very dangerous for all of us," she says. To address concerns voiced by Trump that Denmark could not defend Greenland in the face of Russian or Chinese confrontation, Frederiksen says it would be a priority for Denmark to step up its defense role in the Arctic in partnership with other NATO countries as well as to do more on Europe's eastern frontier.

Getty Europe Has 'Made Mistakes' With Defense The tariffs imposed by Trump on Europe to try to redress trade imbalances have been another source of friction with the U.S. As a member of the European Union, Denmark does not hold separate trade negotiations with the United States. "I think a trade war will be a problem, not only for Europe, but for everybody, and therefore everything we're doing is to avoid it," she says. "What I'm trying to say to our American friends and colleagues is that there are so many challenges globally. At the moment, things are moving in the wrong direction." At this dangerous moment, Europe has no choice but to rearm itself, Frederiksen says. That was not because the United States could not be trusted, but because Europe had been failing to do enough to defend itself—a theme echoed by officials in the Trump administration and elsewhere who say Europe was able to channel funds to its welfare states as Washington paid for its security umbrella.

Frédéric Soltan/Corbis via Getty "It has been a mistake that after the end of the Cold War that we reduced our military budgets in a big part of Europe. It was a mistake, and maybe one of the most important things right now is to agree that it will never happen again," she says. "We have to be able to defend ourselves, to deter Russia, and I don't think it's fair to ask somebody else to come and defend you if you're not willing to do it yourself." Relative to its economic might, Denmark has been one of the biggest financial supporters of Ukraine since the Russian invasion in 2022. Frederiksen says it would be "a disaster" if Russia won the war. "We are being too naive if we are only focusing on Ukraine," she says. "I've never believed that this war is only about Ukraine. It is about Ukraine and thereby paying the highest price, but it is about Europe, and it is about the imperial dreams in Russia." Attacks were already happening, Frederiksen says. "If you look at the situation now, maybe it's on a daily basis or almost a daily basis that you see attacks from Russia: hybrid attacks, cyberattacks, disinformation. They are trying to change democratic elections," she continues. "I think we have one question we have to ask ourselves in Europe: If we are not willing to stand up for ourselves, to protect ourselves, then who are we?" Building Stronger Ties Frederiksen pauses occasionally to choose from the carrot and cucumber sticks placed alongside the coffee and tea on the meeting room table. Denmark is regularly ranked as one of the world's healthiest countries as well as being within the Top 10 of those on the Global Peace Index of the Institute for Economics and Peace. The streets of Copenhagen are abuzz with cyclists, with 36 percent of Danes commuting to work by bicycle at least once a week, compared with 0.6 percent of Americans. With the questions over the U.S. relationship with Europe under the Trump administration, European countries have also been evaluating their relationships with China, which is now a bigger trade partner for many of them but also has a "strategic partnership" with Russia. "The answer is building a strong Europe and a strong Europe that is open-minded and able to work, of course, globally, with different partners, including China," she says. "I want us to be able to produce the technologies that we need on our own, all with partners with whom we always share the same interest with... To make a strategic choice now, less U.S., more China will be, I think, not the right way forward." Green Transition Under Threat One point that Frederiksen wants to stress in the face of the litany of global problems is the concern that climate change is now being sidelined. Denmark has become a leader in green energy—particularly from the winds that all too often bluster the country pinned between the North Sea and the Baltic. More than half of Denmark's electricity supply comes from wind energy, five times more than in the U.S. Elsewhere in Europe, the shift to renewables has prompted concerns over higher energy prices from the use of less stable sources of energy as well as the risks of outages to power supplies themselves.

Sean Gallup/Getty/Getty Trump, meanwhile, has voiced skepticism over climate change and declared a national energy emergency in order to ramp up production of coal, oil and gas, which emit the carbon dioxide many scientists say is causing global temperatures to rise. "I have this feeling that climate change, the green transition renewables, you know, there's not the focus that just was there a few years ago," Frederiksen says. "To make Denmark and Europe less dependent on foreign fossil fuels and more competitive, the green transition is the solution—not the problem. Expanding our own clean energy production and investing in energy infrastructure that further connects Europe is a fundamental prerequisite for strengthening our continent. At the same time, it reduces emissions and tackles climate change."

Michigan State U. to Pay Nearly $30 Million to 3 Survivors of Campus Shooting
Michigan State University has agreed to pay a total of nearly $30 million to three students who survived a shooting on campus in 2023 in which three other students were killed, lawyers announced on Tuesday. The university agreed to pay $14.2 million to Nathan Statly, who was shot in the head during the attack on Feb. 13, 2023; $13 million to Yukai (John) Hao, who was paralyzed after being shot in the back; and $2.5 million to Troy Forbush, who was shot in the chest, lawyers at Grewal Law and Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman said in a news release announcing the settlements. The settlements came after negotiations between lawyers for the university and for the three men, who had put the university on notice in 2023 about potential lawsuits. In a statement, the university declined to comment on the specifics of the settlements, but said, 'We truly hope reaching a resolution helps provide some measure of relief, support and care to impacted individuals and their families.' On the night of the shooting, the gunman, later identified as Anthony McRae, 43, opened fire shortly before 8:30 p.m. at Berkey Hall, home to the university's College of Social Science, and killed two students there, according to the authorities. He then moved to the Michigan State student union, where he killed a third student. The two buildings, which are minutes apart on Grand River Avenue, were unlocked and open to the public.

Iran becoming 'much more aggressive' in nuclear talks, Trump tells Fox News
President Donald Trump told Fox News that Iran has become "much more aggressive" in nuclear talks. "Iran is acting much differently in negotiations than it did just days ago," Trump told Fox News' Bret Baier. "Much more aggressive. It's surprising to me. It's disappointing, but we are set to meet again tomorrow – we'll see." Senior administration officials also told Fox News that Iran appears to be dragging negotiations on without concrete progress while pushing forward with its nuclear efforts. This comes as Israel is growing more concerned it will have to act unilaterally to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump Rejects Iran's Counter-proposal In Nuclear Negotiations: 'It's Just Not Acceptable' Outgoing Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael E. Kurilla, testified before the House Armed Services Committee earlier on Tuesday that he had "provided a range of options" to Trump to prevent Iran from going forward with their nuclear proliferation program, "but I am in all favor of having a negotiated settlement that prevents Iran from getting a nuclear weapon because of the consequences of conflict." Read On The Fox News App Kurilla told lawmakers that Iran "still remains the number one malign influence in the Middle East" and has doubled its enrichment capacity in the past six months. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is traveling with Trump aboard Air Force One en route to Fort Bragg in North Carolina on Tuesday. Earlier Tuesday, Hegseth testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, answering questions from lawmakers on the Trump administration's proposed $1 trillion defense budget for the 2026 fiscal year. Hegseth, though he did not address Iran talks directly, said the budget commits more than $62 billion to "modernize and sustain nuclear forces." Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., did briefly bring up the looming Iranian nuclear threat while voicing concern that the U.S. is "recapitalizing the entire nuclear deterrent all at once." "Meanwhile, Russia has recaptured its triad minus some bombers, and China is rapidly expanding its numbers and fielding a triad. Of course, there's also North Korea and the looming prospect of a nuclear Iran," Fleischmann said. "As we focus more on the Pacific, our post-Cold War posture is a concern due to the lack of in-theater, non-strategic nuclear weapons. This creates a deeply worrying capability gap in the most critical theater." Hegseth pushed back on the congressman's assertion, while underscoring the necessity of updating three components of the nuclear triad – land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and strategic bombers – to perpetuate a credible deterrent against foreign article source: Iran becoming 'much more aggressive' in nuclear talks, Trump tells Fox News
