PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Denver Intl Airport Bio
The Denver International Airport opened to the public on February 28, 1995, about sixteen months behind schedule and at a cost of $4.8 billion—nearly $2 billion over budget. It sits on 35,000 acres, which is nearly twice the size of the next largest airport in America. Surely something macabre must be hidden in those billions of extra dollars; its city-scaled expanse; all those mysterious, unmarked buildings and extra hangars?
Theories
Since it opened, the airport has invited a range of theories: It sits atop a vast, underground network of New World Order command bunkers or post-apocalyptic fallout shelters for the global elite; it is a FEMA concentration camp masquerading as a transit hub; it is a Satanic cathedral. You certainly don’t need an active imagination to note some of the airport designers’ unusual flourishes. There’s the 32-foot, 9,000-pound blue “devil horse” sculpture out front, and a series of bright, disarmingly violent murals by a local artist depict apocalyptic biowarfare and the borderless, one-world government that will triumph. Mysterious Templar markings are spotted throughout the terminals. There’s a sculpture of a devil popping out of a suitcase.
Theories cont.
There are reasonable explanations for all these strange things you can see on your layover, but the most chilling theories always presume that the all-powerful villain taunts us by hiding his horrible truths in plain sight. A whistle-blowing construction worker alleged that the project was delayed because at least five multistory buildings were completed and then mysteriously “buried” underneath the airport. (He and others also testified to the existence of a complex network of underground tunnels.)
Murals and theories
One of the most noticeable and questionable features of the airport is the unorthodox artwork that adorns its walls. Murals that can be viewed in the baggage claim area feature content that, according to some, feature future military oppression and a one world government similar to the concept of “big brother.” The most memorable of these pieces is a large green soldier of sorts with an eagle symbol on his hat, a bayonet tipped gun and a large curved sword in the other hand. Underneath the soldier are signs of poverty and distress, a woman clutching her baby and children sleeping in ruins. Viewers of the piece state that it appears to represent themes of future military oppression.
Cont.
The artist of the piece, Leo Tanguma, however claims that the mural and others like it represent man-made destruction of the environment and genocide while the people of the world come together to live in peace. The two large murals are entitled “In Peace and Harmony with Nature” and “The Children of the World Dream of Peace.”
