Denver Int'l Airport was built by neo-Nazis for the New World Order

ElvisL1ves · #1 06-29-2011, 06:46 PM

Not to mention that the Leo Tanguma murals portend what the NWO will do at the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. I would never have known about this but for the Internet. Part 1 and Part 2.

And a heretical rebuttal attempt.

Some dots to connect:

- The runways and taxiways are laid out in the shape of a swastika.

- The tunnels with the pre-installed sprinkler systems are not really for future expansion of the tramway system, but for mass exterminations via pathogen of patriotic, Christian, Fox-watching Americans when the NWO takes over.

- The huge amount of land DIA owns is not for future expansion but for use as a concentration camp.

- The barbed-wire fences aren't to keep out interlopers, but to keep people in.

- Queen Elizabeth, the head of the New World Order, has been buying land adjacent to the airport.

Well, I'm convinced. Wolverines!

Of all the loony conspiracy theories, this is by far my favorite. I actually had a student in one of my classes who bought into it. THAT was a fun semester (as her gullibility in buying into that CT was illustrated in some class-related ways that made it a struggle to get through a single lecture without her "correcting" me on some arcane point with her vast knowledge of occult and esoteric information).

There was a recent thread on DIA that concentrated on the murals and one very odd statue. It was, disturbing.

I don't believe in any of these conspiracy theories, but the airport is fucked up. Why did they put all of those krazy things in it?

Argent Towers · #5 06-29-2011, 09:57 PM

They should let David Lynch design an airport someday.

If they really built the airport as a secret future extermination camp, why in the hell would they leave a bunch of clues about it?

ElvisL1ves, your post is the first thing in the comments section. All part of the conspiracy, I'm sure!

Ha! Exactly what they would want you to think.

Had the same convo with a student a few months ago. He was in 10th grade. I assume yours was an actual adult?

Oh man - check out the chart on part 2 at 4m40s! George W. Bush. Barack Obama. Vlad the Impaler! Brad...Pitt? Pocahantas? Celine Dion? What the fuck?!

LurkMeister · #11 06-30-2011, 09:29 AM

I'm going to Denver in early August for my niece's wedding, and I'm hoping to be able to spend a little time while I'm there checking out some of this.

Cicero · #12 06-30-2011, 09:44 AM

Why would neo Nazis be interested in building an airport?

Skammer · #13 06-30-2011, 09:48 AM

Wow, strange timing -- I first heard of this CT yesterday. My sister-in-law is disabled and her hired caregiver sprang this one on her. That nutty chick (the helper, not my SIL) will believe anything. In addition to the Denver Airport concentration camp, she believes that "they" killed Michael Jackson (in addition to the common CTs like 9/11 and the moon landing hoax).

Chronologically.

I had this kid as an intern a few years back. He really gets around (and switches genders!)

What, no mention of the giant blue demon-horse that killed its creator and glares with burning red eyes at all who dare approach? Maybe they covered it in the video, which I have no intention of watching at work.

There's a video? I guess everyone needs a hobby.

Public Art Committee. If you've ever attended one, you know that's all the explanation needed.

To be fair, even if it was an established committee, it was probably the first airport that they had done. Committees can get giddy when given control of large new areas.

Decent Public Art usually comes through an established committee that's gotten feedback from prior sucesses and misses, and that have gotten used to sizing up artists. It's also more likely to come from a design staff that's used to dealing with Public Art Committees, but you'd think that airport designers would have that experience.

Ike Witt · #18 06-30-2011, 11:40 AM

Kind of similar to the plot in a book I read. The Machiavelli Covenant.

Most artists are on drugs. When their brains finally become too fried to create anything, then they join the local public art committee

CTs are the gift that keeps on giving.

1. What's up with the obsession with the British monarchy and, to a lesser extent, the other European nobles? They turn up in the vast majority of these things. Is this a western peculiarity, or do crazy people in China imagine that the king of Thailand is teaming up with the emperor of Japan to secretly screw with their airports?

2. Is there a name for the tactic/symptom of pretending that innocuous, everyday things are unusual and sinister? Holy shit! The airport has sprinklers AND fences! Hide the womenfolk!

It's the "shape-shifting lizard" thing.

I love that horse. It is so polarizing - I happen to like the sculpture (but not the Red Eyes of Death), but people just freak out about it.

We've got a giant blue bear that peers into the Colorado Convention Center, so I like the idea that we're becoming the City of Blue Behemoths.

I hate airports and air travel in general, but like the horse. I even like the eyes.

I remember a CT that had Queen Elizabeth as the head of the world's illegal drug market.

And she seemed like such a nice lady! LOL

Now I know the reason why I once dreamed the Denver Airport was Hell, with blood decorating the walls and torture porn at the gift shop.

In the dream, it was also run by Social Workers. They got me out of Hell and put me in an airport that was Heaven. Unfortunately I've never found that one in real life.
