In recent times, the concept of underground cities has transitioned from the realm of science fiction into a topic of serious discussion and investigation. Prominent figures such as Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H. W. Bush, have brought attention to the possibility of extensive subterranean infrastructures.
In a conversation with Tucker Carlson, Fitts claimed that the U.S. government has secretly constructed approximately 170 underground bases, interconnected by advanced transportation systems, to serve as shelters for the elite in the event of a global catastrophe.
Catherine Austin Fitts isn’t a random conspiracy theorist. She has worked at the highest levels of government and finance. With a keen understanding of covert operations, economic policy, and national security budgeting, Fitts has been raising red flags for years — and more people are starting to listen.
Her claims are detailed, documented, and chilling: hundreds of underground bases, some allegedly under the ocean, many connected by high-speed transit tunnels — possibly even maglev or vacuum trains — built in secrecy over decades under the umbrella of national security.
According to Fitts, these underground facilities are not isolated to the United States but are part of a global network. She suggests that these bases are equipped with sophisticated technologies and are designed to ensure the survival of a select few during potential extinction-level events.
Fitts references a 2017 report by economist Mark Skidmore, which pointed to significant unexplained federal spending, particularly within the Departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development, as potential evidence supporting her claims .
In the now-famous exchange with Tucker Carlson, Catherine revealed:
“We’ve built an extraordinary number of underground bases and presumably transportation systems… From 2021 to 2023, we gathered as much data as we could. Our conservative estimate? 170 underground bases in the U.S. alone — possibly more under the oceans.”
Carlson, initially stunned, asked: “What would be the goal?”
Her reply?
“What if you thought you were going to get an event close to extinction?”
Think about it: if a global cataclysm were imminent — war, environmental collapse, bio-engineered pandemics — where would the elite go to survive it? Certainly not your average mountain cabin.
The idea of secret underground cities isn’t new — but never before has it felt so real, so well-documented, and so imminent.
Here are just a few examples that have made their way into public knowledge:
Could these be part of a much larger, interconnected system designed not just for survival, but for segregation?
The idea of living underground is not new. During the Cold War, facilities like the Cheyenne Mountain Complex and the Greenbrier bunker were constructed to protect government officials in the event of a nuclear attack. These historical examples demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale subterranean structures.
The eeriest part of this entire puzzle? It may have been predicted over 100 years ago.
In 1909, British author E.M. Forster published a short story called “The Machine Stops”. In it, people live underground, completely dependent on a giant Machine that provides everything: food, entertainment, education. They live alone, communicating only through screens. Physical meetings are rare and frowned upon. The surface of Earth is declared uninhabitable.
Sound familiar?
Here’s just a sample of the astonishing predictions from the story:
Forster’s vision is hauntingly close to the digital, remote, and isolated world we began slipping into in the 21st century.
Was this fiction… or a roadmap?
Underground cities. Rooms like honeycombs. Obedience to a central authority. Swarm behavior.
These aren’t just metaphors — they’re encoded symbols used by secret societies for centuries.
Freemasonry and other esoteric groups often revere the bee, the hive, and the concept of a central queen-like intelligence. In their vision of the “perfect society,” humans are like worker bees — loyal, subservient, and expendable. Swarm intelligence replaces individuality.
It’s no wonder that underground dwellings are often described as cells in a hive — small, windowless, efficient, and closely monitored.
Every year, millions of people go missing around the world. Some are trafficked, some are murdered… but many are never found. No trace. No bodies. Nothing.
What if some of these people are not gone — but relocated? What if they’re being sent to underground hives — not as citizens, but as property?
Fitts’ theory aligns with other disturbing ideas:
It sounds insane. But so did AI, smart cities, digital currency, and population surveillance — just 20 years ago.
If this still sounds like fiction, recall the Georgia Guidestones — a mysterious granite monument that stood for over 40 years before being blown up in 2022. Its first commandment?
“Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
Why would someone publicly declare such a drastic population reduction? And why were the stones destroyed immediately after being bombed — as though someone wanted them forgotten?
This is not just about hidden bunkers. This is about the future of civilization and whether the fate of humanity is quietly being divided between those who will inherit the surface—and those who will inherit the underworld.
As we peer into the possibility of these hidden cities, the question is no longer “Are they real?” but rather, “Why aren’t we being told the truth about them?” The silence may not be accidental. It may be by design. Because if the truth beneath our feet were exposed, the world as we know it—above ground—might never be the same again.
