Denver International Airport

    Being from the Denver area myself, DIA or Denver International Airport has been a large part of my life for as long as I can remember. Seeing those tall white peaks rise above the horizon as we would make the half hour drive just to reach it, is one of the earliest memories I have actually. As a child and into my early pre-teen years, I travelled continuously. My dad had a high paying job that required him to travel every week and since it was just my mom and I, he allowed us to come with him to his many destinations. So airports and how they work, is something I am quite familiar with. This being said, DIA is not a typical airport. In this entry I will provide the facts, theories, and opinions that surround the vast conspiracy that entralls this location.

    First off are the facts. DIA is located 15 miles outside of the city of Denver and is situated on a 33,457 acre spot of land that is larger than the area of Manhattan, New York. In 1995, it replaced Stapleton Airport and had many residents upset with the fact that the airport was so far away from the city. Here is a satellite photo of DIA and its surrounding area.  

    A instant attraction for many radical conspiracy theorists (hence I say radical) is the actual shape of the airport, which is that of a swastika. Continuing on, the airport cost 4.8 billion to construct and for those who helped build it, a "hush hush" rule was implemented. Meaning those who worked on the airport were told not to talk about their jobs, or the airport itself outside of work. The most famous account of this is from Philip Schneider, a structural engineer who worked on the underground bases at Area 51 as well as Deluce, New Mexico. Mr. Schneider claimed that he worked on an underground base that lies eight levels deep (roughly 3 miles) beneath the entire airport and then was asked to keep his silence. This underground base, he said, was intended to be used as a holding facility for a large mass of people. Philip Schneider also made claims about the underground base at DIA being built for the intention of housing aliens. Later, he mentioned its reasoning being global oppression. Photographic and geographic evidence prove that there is an underground facility. For example, there are vents placed around the 33,000 acre area, as well as large tunnel entrances miles away from the airport that no one has explained. For many people, these are valid reasons for the hefty cost of the construction, the secrecy surrounding it, and the 33,000 acre location outside of the city. Now DIA does have an underground facility. This is proven by the underground tramline that connects the three terminals to each other. Any traveller that arrives at the airport must take the tram to the baggage claim. Now having taken that tram for a good 19 years of my life, I can tell you that it is creepier than it sounds. Huge doors and large vats pass by as you travel through the tunnel. The atmosphere is just one of gloom and mystery. To make an odd tale even more odd, Philip Schneider died shortly after releasing these claims about the airport and its secrets. He was strangled and ruled a suicide. Remember... question everything.

    Another oddity about this airport is the artwork that is on display in the baggage claim. Painted by Leo Tanguma, the artworks depict what looks like ethnic cleansing, governmental oppression, utopian living, and secret illuminati "code" for future world dominance. This all, you will have to decide for yourself. I myself, still find this odd. 

    There is also an odd masonic capstone in the main concourse that says the airport belongs to the "New World Airport Commission." If you read closely, it says there is a time capsule beneath the stone to be opened in 2094. Strange? The sheer fact that the masons have this large of a presence here, outside their lodges, raises eyebrows. 

    Lastly, there is a large statue of a blue bronco that welcomes drivers to the airport. It's eyes are red and its demeanor aggressive in nature. Some say that it represents one of the horseman of the apocalypse disguised as a Denver Bronco reference. Regardless of the reason, the statue is still ominous. 

    In conclusion, one thing can be said. There is more to this airport than meets the eye. Whether that it be a FEMA camp intended for the mass execution of unfaithful citizens, an alien experimentation base, or merely a bunker for the global elite to come to for protection. It is something. For the skeptics, this could be nothing more than a bunker for the president, or a housing for food if the ever is a global catastrophe. All in all, it is an intriguing location.
