In an unprecedented move, the White House has directed the Smithsonian Institution to open its secretive and vast tunnel network under D.C. for a surprise investigation, including a joint inspection.
TPV reports: This directive comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s recent federal takeover of Washington, D.C., which involved deploying 800 National Guard troops and placing the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control for 30 days.
The Smithsonian’s subterranean network, spanning from the Castle to the Natural History Museum, has long been a subject of intrigue. While officially used for logistical purposes such as transporting artifacts and staff, its existence has fueled various conspiracy theories.
Some allege that these tunnels serve darker purposes, including child trafficking, and many whistleblowers including Ally Carter have alleged they were trafficked through the D.C. network under the purview of the Smithsonian Museum.
Adding to the mystery, the Smithsonian’s insignia features a Masonic sun symbol, which some draw parallels to the design found on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island and other sites of elite occult worship.
The timing of the White House’s directive signals a move far beyond routine oversight.
With the National Guard patrolling the National Mall, the inspection of the Smithsonian’s tunnels represents a decisive assertion of federal authority over one of the capital’s most secretive networks.
The convergence of government power and the museum’s shadowy underground passages shines a light on a subterranean world long hidden from public view.
As the investigation unfolds, it is clear that the Smithsonian’s labyrinth is no ordinary logistical system—and the stakes of what lies beneath Washington, D.C., have never been higher.
