If a massive underground bunker was part of your plans for the apocalypse then unfortunately you're out of luck in the United States, as one former White House insider has revealed that $21,000,000,000,000 secret underground cities were built for 'near-extinction events', but they're exclusively reserved for the ultra-wealthy.
There is an awful lot of planning that people do for the end of times, as countless projects are made and supported every year in order to adequately prepare for when the doomsday clock reaches the prophesized time.
Scientists have created highly contained vaults that house just about every seed known to man, and there are 'doomsday planes' that are always on call to jet the President of the United States away if the situation called for it.

With AI predictions indicating that we're nearing World War 3, which would in itself hold a strong likelihood for nuclear war, you can't blame people for trying to prepare as much as they possibly can.
You still might be surprised quite how far the American government has gone to lay the groundwork for the end of days though, as one former White House insider has now claimed that over $21 trillion has been used to secretly built underground cities designed to house ultra-wealthy individuals in case of a near-extinction event.
As reported by the Independent, Catherine Austin Fitts, who served as the former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development during George H.W. Bush's presidential period, made the shocking claim during a recent interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

According to Fitts, her department registered a staggering $21 trillion of 'unauthorized spending' in the 17-year period of 1998 to 2015, and she had spent 'years' investigating where this money had disappeared to, eventually stumbling on to 170 secret 'cities' hidden underneath American soil.
"We have built an extraordinary number of underground bases and, supposedly, transportation systems," Fitts claims, alleging that some of these cities are even located underneath the ocean.
Her investigation was initially prompted after spotting that the US Army had $6.5 trillion in 'unsupported adjustments or spending' in 2015, which is around 54 times larger than the military's expected fiscal budget.

As for the reason behind these massive bunkers, it's split between being a "preparation for catastrophe" in Fitts' own words, and 'secret projects', which apparently even include unknown space programs.
It's currently unclear where these bunkers are, how big the have been built, what they contain, and frankly if they even exist, but some might think it similar to the vaults in Fallout, where the lucky few hole up and protect themselves in the event of an apocalypse.
