Something is rotten in the Denver airport (really creepy stuff)

Located 25 miles from Denver on a plot of land encompassing 53 square miles (twice the size of Manhattan), sits one of the most curious airpots in the world, The Denver International Airport. Leo and I had a long layover at the airport last weekend. As we walked around, we couldn't help but notice that something about this place isn't right. So I did some digging.

*Note: I'm not a conspiracy guy in any way, I fancy myself as more of a beer drinker, so take this post more in the spirit of WTF than an accusation. But anybody who has flown through Denver Airport will tell you this place is a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Let's start at the beginning. Denver Airport was commissioned in 1989 at a cost of 1.7 billion dollars. The airport was finished in 1995, 2 years late, at a cost of 4.8 BILLION dollars, roughly 3.1 billion over budget, like ya' do. The airport was privately funded, and nobody really knows by whom. A marker stone in the terminal reads the airport was funded by The New World Airport Commission.

It should also be noted that Denver had a completely functional airport, Stapleton, that many people liked just fine. Stapleton was only 6 miles from Denver after all.

There was really no need to build the airport in the first place… unless you needed a construction project up above to mask a larger construction project happening down below. And this is where the conspiracies begin.

Many people believe that the largest underground bunker in the world lies beneath the Denver airport. Specifically a 360,000 sq. foot bunker, built by the New World Order to house the elites in case of economic collapse or nuclear holocaust. The construction of the Denver airport was necessitated as a dumb show; an above ground construction project to hide the the creation of something that lies beneath, hiding in plain sight.

Hints that the Denver airport is hiding something big are everywhere. Visitors to the Denver Airport will immediately notice a number of mysterious masonic symbols and murals clearly depicting the end of the word. They're hard to miss. Many believe these murals hold a deeper meaning which can be gleaned by the initiated of the New World Order and Freemasons. Let's have a look.

You are greeted at the airport by Mustang, by New Mexico artist Luis Jiménez, was one of the earliest public art commissions for Denver International Airport in 1993. Standing at 32 feet tall and weighing 9,000 pounds “Mustang” is a blue cast-fiberglass sculpture with red shining eyes. Jiménez died in 2006 while creating the sculpture when the head of it fell on him and severed an artery in his leg.

The murals are fairly shocking. Here we have efugees living in a basement and the Lord of Death, brandishing an AK-47, killing the dove of peace. Gray waves pulse from the figure, the waves pulse outward, killing everybody in its path. The figure wears a gas mask implying the gray waves, the instrument of death in this case, is a biological weapon.

At a glance, AU AG would logically be the symbols for gold and silver. But that meaning is called into question when you find out that one of the founders of the airport also discovered a new, deadly strain of hepatitis known as Australia Antigen, also called AUAG. It has been rumored that AUAG could be a potent weapon in biological warfare. This symbol rests on the ground directly in front of the biological warfare mural.

Nobody really knows who paid for the Denver Airport construction. Besides the fact that this dedication stone says it’s covering a time capsule for the people of Colorado, it also says the airport was paid for by the New World Airport Commission. The New World Airport Commission does not exist.

Set against the backdrop of a solar flare and horrific destruction, not to mention the extinction of various species including whales and sea turtles, children are in the center sobbing over three open caskets. I really hope my flight isn’t delayed.

You’ll notice there is a little girl in the back right holding a Mayan tablet alluding to Dec. 21, 2012, the end of the world. But the Mayans also predict a ‘rebirth’ which is why some life, such as the penguin and bird, are being preserved. Oh, and let’s not overlook the city being destroyed in the background.

All of the children of the world bring in the weapons from their country, handing them to a German boy. The gas mask man from the previous scene is now dead, two doves perched on his body. All of the children appear to be relieved. The deeper metaphor is the return to peace, a rebirth; there will be no more need for weapons in the new world. Oh great, my flight just got delayed for, lemme’ see here, All of Eternity.

Nothing says welcome home like a demonic figure crawling out of a suitcase.

The final mural is oddly reminiscent of the Garden of Eden, the world now lives in peace after the horrific events that have taken place. All the murals, when viewed in sequence, depict a massive genocide followed by the formation of a now less-populated, harmonious new world.

Finally, let’s return to those bunkers. The photo above is a blueprint of 5 buildings that were mysteriously buried during the early days of construction on the Denver Airport. These five large buildings were fully constructed and subsequently deemed to have been ‘positioned incorrectly.’

Rather than being demolished, the buildings were ordered to be buried, yes buried. The ‘underground bases’, as they are referred, are currently being used as “storage” according to airport authorities. This fact is not debated. We already know there is an underground structure beneath the airport. The real question is how deep the worm hole goes. We may never know…

 

[RiseAgainst]

Not the first time I've seen stuff about DIA. It is interesting in the most literal sense, but I'm not sure how or why.

 

[tttppp]

I've heard strange conspiracy theories about this airport. Based on your pictures, they must be more than just theories.

 

[3kgt]

Yeah I've seen this stuff as well. I've spent hours looking at those paintings. Very demonic, this is the only thing that has ever piqued my interest in the NWO conspiracy.

 

[Zippyjuan]

I love it when these things start out with "I am not any sort of conspiracy buff but..."

Don't know who paid for it? It was financed via $50 billion seed money from the City of Denver and the rest from bonds, FAA grants, and monies generated by the previous airport, Stapleton- which was old and had reached the limits for expanding it. http://business.flydenver.com/info/news/documents/pressKit.pdf It is owned by the City and County of Denver.

The AUAG being some sort of biological agent? Look at the picture. What is the symbol containing the letters? A mining car. Gold and silver mining were important industries in the history of Colorado and that is why it shows Au for gold and Af for silver-- not some bioweapons.

As for the horse- I like that they used the scariest picture they could find. It is true that the creator was killed by part of it falling on him during construction. The blue color and red glowing eyes can be kinda creepy. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/9373803/detail.html

Luis Jimenez, a successful but often controversial sculptor whose work was supposed to be installed at Denver International Airport this year, died Tuesday in what authorities are calling an industrial accident.
Part of a 32-foot sculpture was being moved with a hoist at Jimenez's New Mexico studio when it came loose and struck the artist, pinning him against a steel support, said the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department. He was taken to the Lincoln County Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead

The gargoyles (there are two of them watching over the baqggage claim area):

"Notre Denver" features two cast bronze gargoyles, perched inside suitcases, watching over the east and west baggage claim areas. Historically, gargoyles were placed on buildings to protect the site. DIA's gargoyles sit slightly above travelers' heads to help ensure the safe arrival of baggage.

New World Airport Commission: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_denver03.htm
This was a group of local businessmen who arranged the opening ceremonies for the airport. They chose the name to reflect the world class status of the airport-not the New World Order.

Then there are the murals. Let us just look at the first one. The picture only shows one part of the entire thing which gives a misleading (of course necessary in conspiracy theories to focus on certain possibly eerie elements). The title is "Children of The World Dream of Peace" and is in two parts created by Latino artist Leo Tanguma.
The frame with Death is Part 1 and the second is actually the third mural shown above. Follow the rainbow to see how the link goes.

"Children of the World Dream of Peace" is a two part mural by artist Leo Tanguma and receives the most attention from conspiracy theorists. The first frame depicts what appears to be some sort of Nazi soldier in a particularly threatening posture, very dark and truly menacing. What the mural also depicts is a long line of parents clinging to their dead children and weeping. This portion of the mural also depicts a poem written by a child who died at Auschwitz during the Holocaust.

Conspiracy theorist interpret this portion, and the mural as a whole, as the approaching Apocalypse and the end of days. The problem, which is clearly stated by one of the conspiracy sites, is that they choose to interpret the mural from left to right. This is completely understandable based on the fact that we read from left to right, so one cannot be faulted for this.

The problem is that the mural is intended to be interpreted from right to left, thus the mural depicting the suffering of humans should be the first frame. In this interpretation, this frame of the mural is the beginning, meaning that the menacing and suffering of man is the beginning mural and not a prediction of how the world ends.

Based on this interpretation it stands to reason that frame one of the mural is showing the horrors of World War Two and the Holocaust as a jumping off point and not the end of the world. In this interpretation what is interpreted to be a fading rainbow at the top of the mural is actually the beginning of the rainbow in this frame and getting more broad and brighter as the world moves away from the horrors of World War Two. It then flows perfectly into the second frame of the mural.

The next mural frame in the first post shows the shattered statue to War Violence and Hate (note that it is cracked and only the foot remains from the statue which would have been on it and how happy the people are).

The second frame of the mural is far more elaborate, as one can clearly see just by looking at it. It is much bigger and has considerably more characters involved. The mural depicts the children of the world, who have all come together in peace, collecting over the corpse of the dead soldier from the first frame. The children then choose to take all the world's swords and beat them into plowshares, inspired by verses from the Bible.

Personally, I don't know what to make of it, but I find it very interesting.

Zippyjuan, even if the murals aren't meant to depict the end of the world as we know it, what about the five buildings (at least) that were buried? Why did Denver build a new airport when it didn't really need one? Why did it go so far over budget?

Really, the idea that some powerful people might pool their resources and build a huge underground bunker in case of WWIII or something doesn't sound like a conspiracy theory. That's just rich people being prudent.

But why would they then lace the facade with references to it's existence? And wouldn't it be easier to build a bunker somewhere on private property?

The corrupt former mayor of Denver Federico Fabian Peña made a lot of money on that deal.

 

[dannno]

But why would they then lace the facade with references to it's existence?

Because part of their religion requires that they tell the public what they are going to do. Usually this is done through entertainment, for example, "The Lone Gunman" episode of X-files and 9/11.

And wouldn't it be easier to build a bunker somewhere on private property?

Apparently the bunker is VERY LARGE, and so people in government and non-government organizations who aren't supposed to know about it would get suspicious if something that big is being built in the middle of nowhere. The airport was a cover-up.

The "underground bunkers" include an underground tram which connects all three terminals as well as an underground baggage transport system (which failled terribly in early runs- the fully automated system was tossing and losing lots of bags so they went back to manually handling them).

Published: August 27, 2005


DENVER, Aug. 26 - Ten years ago, the new Denver International Airport marched boldly into the future with a computerized baggage-handling system that immediately became famous for its ability to mangle or misplace a good portion of everything that wandered into its path.

Now the book is closing on the brilliant machine that couldn't sort straight. Sometime over the next few weeks, in an anticlimactic moment marked and mourned by just about nobody, the only airline that ever used any part of the system will pull the plug. An episode bowing equally to John Henry, Rube Goldberg and Hal from "2001" will end.

People will be fully back in charge.

Tours that preceded the system's debut led invariably to an airport basement where 26 miles of track, loaded with thousands of small gray carts, sped bags up and down inclines as conveyor belts minutely timed by the computer deposited each bag in its cart at just the right moment.

"They were so proud of it," said Raymond Neidl, an airline-aerospace analyst with Calyon Securities in New York. "It's the one thing they wanted to show you."

It does have places designed for tornado protection but as an emergency bunker, it is not the best location (they are actually the restrooms which have reinforced walls and roofs- not big underground rooms- don't think you would want to wait out WWIII in them). Bunker for who? State officials? Couldn't get their in a hurry- downtown Denver is 25 miles away through difficult traffic. Washington officials? Even furhter away. Certainly could not get there on a moment's notice.

Ran over budget? I would like to see a maior project like this which came in under budget. Problems arise and specification change which means things need redone. United Airlines (one of the major tenants of the airport) changed their requirements several times.

It is Colorado's third largest city (behind Denver and Colorado Springs) with over 200,000 people passing through it every day (80 milion a year) and has one of the industry's best "on time" flight records. Stapleton topped out at 60 million a year.

As for why Stapleton closed according to Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stapleton_International_Airport

By the 1980s, plans were under way to replace Stapleton with a new airport. Stapleton was plagued with a number of problems, including:
inadequate separation between runways, leading to extremely long waits in bad weather

little or no room for other airlines that proposed/wanted to use Stapleton for new destinations (an example of this was Southwest Airlines)

a lawsuit over aircraft noise, brought by residents of the nearby Park Hill community

legal threats by Adams County, Colorado to block a runway extension into Rocky Mountain Arsenal lands

The "underground bunkers" include an underground tram which connects all three terminals as well as an underground baggage transport system (which failled terribly in early runs- the fully automated system was tossing and losing lots of bags so they went back to manually handling them).

They were probably just loading up on supplies for the bunker.

Because part of their religion requires that they tell the public what they are going to do. Usually this is done through entertainment, for example, "The Lone Gunman" episode of X-files and 9/11.

Always loved the X Files. Was never aware of the spinoff.

The plot of the first episode, which aired March 4, 2001, involves a US government conspiracy to hijack an airliner, fly it into the World Trade Center and blame it on terrorists, thereby gaining support for a new profit-making war.

Parallels of this plotted scenario of government conspiracy to revitalize its war industry, to the events of 9/11 in this episode are noteworthy, if not uncanny, since the episode was aired six months prior to 9/11

Let's start at the beginning. Denver Airport was commissioned in 1989 at a cost of 1.7 billion dollars. The airport was finished in 1995, 2 years late, at a cost of 4.8 BILLION dollars, roughly 3.1 billion over budget, like ya' do

The story was that a lot of the budget over runs and mistakes were caused by the policy that Affirmative Action minority owned companies had to be hired to do the work. Sometimes these couldn't be found or did "inferior" work and had no idea what they were doing and so it had to be redone. And redone.

One example was the wrong type of concert being used for the runways. They had to tear them up an repour.

I wonder how many here know which religion it is they follow. Hint: It isn't Islam.

 

[fisharmor]

I was there shortly after opening in 1995, and I remember well the nightly news updates of their effed up baggage system.
The creepiest thing at that time was that the underground tram system made me feel like I should have a crystal in my hand and there should be guys in black pajamas hunting down 31 year olds who didn't voluntarily go get nuked in the renewal chamber.

I didn't think a DIA conspiracy counted as complete without pointing out the swastika pattern of the strips.

 

[Zippyjuan]

DIA cost over runs: http://varsitylecture.com/2009/11/20/denver-international-airport/ Article also covers why Stapleton had to be replaced.

The city employed two engineering firms to act as part of the project management team and even though these two firms had experience in airport design and construction they seemed to have been overwhelmed by the vested interests and the complexity of the project. This team did not involve the users (airlines) in the project design stage of the airport and while the two airlines (United Airlines and Continental Airlines)contributed 80% of the flights in to Stapleton they were overlooked, this action necessitated late changes to the design of the airport as a way of appeasing the two airlines. The scope changes led to cost overruns, lost time and redundant designs e.g. building a bridge between Main terminal to terminal A while there was an underground train that joined the two terminals. These scope changes by the airlines led to a $1.1 billion cost overrun.

In a rush to beat the deadline construction was being done in three shifts and this led to concerns over the quality of work being done. Cracks began appearing on runways and taxiways before the official opening of the airport, rain seeped through the ceiling and this led to allegations of fraudulent contracting and construction practices. One of the contractors Ball, Ball and Brosamer allegedly diluted the concrete mixture and rigged computer formulas to add cheap ingredients to the cement mixture used in the runways and taxiways.

An inspector had photographed these shoddy job practices and had complained about them, but nobody seemed to investigate until he took the case to federal investigators. The inspection showed that concourse B was heavily affected since the steel reinforcements in the pillars were not properly anchored. It is estimated that Denver international airport would use an additional $ 30.8 million to repair the concrete panels in the runways because of this fraudulent practice (Rocky Mountain News).

Baggage handling system was also another cause of delays and budget overruns. Instead of each airline having its own baggage handling system, Denver international airport officials tried to develop one system that would serve all airlines and thus led to the purchase of the BAE (British Aerospace Electronic) system. This system according to Kerzner (2004) contained 100 computers, 56 laser scanners, conveyor belts and thousands of motors.

The baggage handling system by BAE was a new system that had been implemented only in Frankfurt Germany and even there it had taken six years to implement the software and another two years to debug the software. Testimony given by the then secretary of transportation Federico Pena to the subcommittee on aviation concerning the Denver international airport project acknowledged that they relied on highly sophisticated newly written software that wasn’t sufficiently designed and tested. According to computer software experts the BAE system was implemented as a whole instead of having it developed in a piece-meal fashion. Mark Webster the system was too complex to be implemented as a whole and instead it should have been implemented from a small working systems and then gradually improved and expanded to the large complex system that they had wanted.

In 2002 DIA officials undertook to build a sixth runway that was to be the the largest runway in the world at time. It was to be built in an effort to attract more international airlines such as non stop flights to Asia and Europe and also to allow long haul flights to carry more weight to and from DIA. A new generation of jets were be built at that time, the super jumbo jet and they need longer runways than usual and this sixth runway was also developed to attract such planes to DIA. The cost of the runway was at $166 million which was considered a bargain at the time. (Denver Post May, 15, 2002)

WorldPort was a cargo facility that city officials approved to be built on DIA’s land. It was to be a privately financed project at a cost of $ 100 million and it was projected to bring an annual rent to DIA of about $ 1.3 million. This state of the art cargo facility was supposed to address the concerns of the cargo airlines like FedEx, UPS etc by developing a separate area for cargo handling. Since 2000 the project was not completed and this has necessitated a discussion by city officials to buyout the private firm at a cost of $ 4 million and lease the two 50,000 square feet space to cargo handling firms. The failure of WorldPort is being blamed for the decline in cargo flights through Denver and the loss of revenue. (Denver Business Journal)

Another lawsuit was filed against Denver international airport on behalf of employees and travelers. This lawsuit claimed that concourse B had extensive mold and fungi contamination caused by several raw sewerage leaks and emissions of toxic gas. This lawsuit claimed that several employees had complained of respiratory problems, dizziness and nausea as far back as 1993 when the airport was being built. They further claimed that the poor design of Denver international airport’s system for reclaiming toxic deicing fluids was a major cause of this problem.

Occupation safety and health administration officials (OSHA) inspected the airport and found there was significant water leakage, contaminated air and standing water on concourse B belonging to United Airlines. Their recommendations were largely ignored and the problem persisted until the lawsuit was filed and the situation was rectified.

By the way, I passed through DIA just last week. Things run pretty good now.
