Guess Who Gets Left Behind
Trillions in unexplained Pentagon adjustments, alleged underground bases, billionaire bunkers and a red heifer ritual. Who gets left behind?
Overview
Economists Mark Skidmore and Katherine Austin Fitz investigated a series of accounting adjustments in U.S. government records that the underlying documentation could not support. Their research identified approximately 21 billion or $200 billion that might be expected from a comparable review.
Fitz, a former assistant secretary of housing and urban development under President George H.W. Bush, has also made claims about hidden infrastructure and private preparations for societal collapse. This article summarizes those claims and the related reporting, and it distinguishes between documented figures and allegations.
Unsupported Pentagon Adjustments
The adjustments are accounting entries, not confirmed losses. The research does not establish that $21 trillion was stolen or diverted.
Key figures include:
| Item | Figure |
|---|---|
| Unsupported adjustments at the Pentagon, 1998–2015 | Approximately $21 trillion |
| Unsupported adjustments in the U.S. Army's 2015 accounts | Approximately $6.5 trillion |
| Annual budget of the U.S. Army (2015) | Roughly $122 billion |
The gap between the Army's unsupported adjustments and its annual budget is the central point of the analysis. Because the government spends large public sums without fully accounting for them, the researchers raise the questions of where the money went and who benefited.
Claimed Underground Infrastructure
Fitz has argued that hidden infrastructure operates beyond public scrutiny. Her most specific claim concerns approximately 170 underground bases. These are alleged to lie beneath the United States and under the sea. According to her account, the bases connect through an underground transportation network.
She suggests that this infrastructure would preserve selected people through a catastrophe near the scale of human extinction. The claim is unverified. No public evidence cited in the source material confirms the existence or scale of these facilities.
Preparations by Governments and the Military
The source material describes the following actions:
- U.S. military: The military is investing in hardening installations and in energy independence. The stated aim is to keep bases operational when external infrastructure is disrupted or cut off.
- Western governments: Governments in Western economies have begun instructing their populations to prepare for emergencies and interruptions to normal services.
Private Preparations by Wealthy Individuals
The source material describes private preparations by wealthy individuals:
- Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook): Reportedly developing a compound in Hawaii that includes a large underground bunker.
- Peter Thiel: Reported to have cultivated connections in New Zealand and across the technology industry.
- Other wealthy individuals: Acquiring remote properties and exploring ways to survive a societal breakdown that would end their current lifestyles.
These preparations are described as costly. Unlike insurance, which individuals buy in the expectation they will never claim on it, these measures are presented as active investments in a future that the source material expects to be far less favorable for most people.
Religious Preparations
The source material also describes religious preparations connected to end-time expectations.
In 2022, five red heifers were reported to have arrived in Israel from Texas. In the Book of Numbers, the ashes of a qualifying pure red heifer are required for an ancient purification ritual. A practice ceremony for this ritual was held in northern Israel in 2025.
The source material describes an alliance of Orthodox Jewish, Messianic Jewish, and Evangelical Christian Zionist groups. According to the material, these groups view the preparations as part of a broader set of biblical expectations. They aim to bring about the arrival or return of the Messiah. The material notes that interpretations differ depending on the religious tradition.
The ceremony's intended location is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which the material describes as the most contested religious site in the world. The Al-Aqsa Mosque stands on the site. The material notes that rebuilding a third temple there would carry major religious and political implications.
Analysis of a Post-Collapse Scenario
The source material raises a question about the period after a catastrophe. A bunker is not a self-sustaining society. Operating it requires people to maintain generators, run ventilation, manage food supplies, repair machinery, and guard entrances.
The material argues that the people performing these tasks would not necessarily be the wealthy individuals or officials who paid for the facilities. Security personnel would hold the weapons. Engineers would understand the systems. Staff would control daily operations. The material argues that a wealthy owner's authority, based on money or position, could weaken once the external system fails.
The material cites the collapse of Rome and its aftermath as an example of the end of an existing order. It also refers to the Mad Max film franchise, whose depiction of a ruler supported by armed followers illustrates the same pattern. The material's central claim is that the end of civilization does not end hierarchies. It reshuffles them.
Conclusion
The documented figures concern unsupported accounting adjustments. The claims about underground bases, private bunkers, and religious preparations rely on reporting and allegations that the source material does not independently verify. The article's closing question is whether the people undertaking these preparations know something that the public does not.
Introduction: The $21 Trillion Figure
The video introduces a claimed $21 trillion in US government accounting adjustments and frames them as the starting point for investigating hidden infrastructure and elite preparations.
- The figure cited is approximately 21 billion or $200 billion.
- The presenter says the investigation leads to claims of secret underground bases, private doomsday bunkers, and military preparations for prolonged disruptions.
- The presenter ties Middle East religious preparations to the return of a chosen Messiah.
- The presenter says the first step is to follow the money.
Pentagon Accounting Adjustments
Economists Mark Skidmore and Katherine Austin Fitz reportedly found unsupported Pentagon adjustments. The presenter stresses these are accounting adjustments, not proven theft.
- Economists Mark Skidmore and Katherine Austin Fitz investigated accounting adjustments that could not be supported by underlying documentation.
- Katherine Austin Fitz is described as a former assistant secretary of housing and urban development under President George Herbert Walker Bush.
- Their research identified approximately $21 trillion in adjustments at the Pentagon between 1998 and 2015.
- The US Army's 2015 accounts reportedly contained approximately 122 billion.
- The presenter states the adjustments are not proven to have been stolen, but raises the question of where the money went and who benefits.
Alleged Underground Bases and Official Preparations
Fitz allegedly claims about 170 underground bases exist beneath the United States and under the sea, linked by an underground transport network intended to shelter an elite through a catastrophe.
- Fitz is said to claim approximately 170 underground bases beneath the United States and under the sea.
- The bases are said to be connected by an underground transportation network.
- The claimed purpose is to preserve those inside through a near extinction-level catastrophe, such as a comet strike.
- The presenter compares the claim to disaster films such as Deep Impact, Armageddon, 2012, and the Greenland movies.
- The presenter says the US military is investing in hardening installations and energy independence to keep bases operational when external infrastructure is cut off.
- Western governments have reportedly begun telling populations to prepare for emergencies and service interruptions.
Billionaire Bunkers and Private Preparations
The presenter describes wealthy individuals acquiring remote properties and building bunkers to survive societal breakdown, while contrasting them with ordinary people who buy insurance.
- Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly developing a compound in Hawaii, reportedly with an enormous underground bunker.
- Peter Thiel is said to have cultivated connections with New Zealand and across the technology industry.
- Wealthy individuals are reportedly buying remote properties and exploring ways to survive societal breakdown.
- The presenter contrasts ordinary people buying insurance in hope of never needing it with elites spending vast fortunes on preparations.
Religious Preparations and the Red Heifer
The presenter links apocalyptic preparations to religious groups seeking to trigger the Messiah's return by performing a red heifer purification ritual at the Temple Mount.
- In 2022, five red heifers reportedly arrived in Israel from Texas.
- The book of Numbers requires the ashes of a qualifying pure red heifer for an ancient purification ritual.
- A practice ceremony for the purification ritual was reportedly held in northern Israel in 2025.
- The presenter describes a coalition of Orthodox Jewish, Messianic Jewish, and Evangelical Christian Zionist groups who believe these preparations are part of biblical expectations for the Messiah's arrival or return.
- The ceremony's location would be the Temple Mount, where the Al-Aqsa mosque currently stands.
- The presenter says rebuilding the Third Temple would carry enormous religious and political implications.
Who Controls the Bunker?
The presenter argues that a bunker cannot sustain a civilization, because the people who maintain it hold the real power, and that collapse would dissolve the existing class and wealth hierarchy.
- A bunker requires people to maintain generators, operate ventilation, manage food supplies, repair machinery, and guard entrances.
- Security forces hold weapons, engineers understand the systems, and staff run daily operations.
- Billionaires or prime ministers who assume money gives them control may lose their position after a collapse.
- The presenter says the end of civilization and fiat money is the great leveler, and cites the Roman patricians as an example.
- An underground city can be bought and stocked, but there is no guarantee its occupants will keep regarding the billionaire or minister as their master.
Conclusion: Hierarchies After Collapse
The presenter concludes that a collapse would not end hierarchies, and poses two closing questions about which post-apocalyptic path viewers would choose and what insiders know.
- The presenter argues that the end of the world does not mean the end of hierarchies.
- The presenter compares the historic collapse of Rome and its aftermath to the Lord Humungus character in the Mad Max franchise.
- The closing questions are which post-apocalyptic adventure viewers would choose, namely the Virgin Prepper or the Chad Raider, and what these people know that the rest do not.
