A former U.S. government official has claimed that the United States secretly spent around $21 trillion building underground “doomsday bunkers.”

The allegation comes from Catherine Austin Fitts, who says the massive network of hidden facilities was developed over decades using funds that were allegedly unaccounted for in government budgets.

According to her claims, these underground bases were designed to protect elites and key officials in the event of catastrophic global crises.

Fitts argues that thousands of these facilities may exist across the U.S. and even beneath the oceans, connected through a secret infrastructure system.

However, no official confirmation has been provided, and experts say many of the claims remain unverified and controversial.

Still, the idea of a vast hidden network of bunkers has sparked intense debate online.

Secret preparation… or conspiracy theory? What do you think?

Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu is opening up about the political issues she cares about most — and she’s not holding back.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Liu said the causes that matter most to her include “climate, election things, Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, ICE protests… a ton of that stuff.” She added that “more empathy needs to happen, for sure.”

Liu — whose family immigrated to the United States — also said she believes it’s important to recognize the flaws in government and stand up for immigrant rights, noting that she has attended protests and spoken out about issues affecting marginalized communities.

The comments come as more athletes use their platforms to speak out on politics — a trend that continues to spark debate over whether sports stars should stay out of politics or use their influence to push for change.

Today was the dignified transfer of the six fallen soldiers who the U.S. has lost so far in the war with Iran at Dover Air Force Base, and President Donald Trump is facing a backlash for wearing a baseball cap.

California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison inmate Jonathan Watson, who was already serving a life sentence for murder, attacked two other prisoners — David Bobb and Graham De Luis-Conti — both of whom were serving life sentences for crimes against children under 14.

According to reports, Watson later admitted to the killings and wrote that he believed he had “done the world a favor.” One victim died the same day, while the other died days later in hospital.

The case was investigated as a double homicide inside the prison, and it also drew attention to the reality that inmates convicted of crimes against children often face serious dangers behind bars.
