Default Another Conspiracy Theory: DEN Conspiracy!

I did a brief search of the forums to see if this was posted already and came up with nothing...but the chemtrails conspiracy thread reminded me of this....

The Denver International Airport Conspiracy.....just watch the following video, it is simply maddening the things that people will believe and say: YouTube - Denver Airport Conspiracy

Also, a Denver area news article about the theory: Denver News - DIA Conspiracies Take Off -

It's one thing to believe in a conspiracy theory that has hard credible evidence to support it, but this theory reaches a whole new level of stupidity.

Some of that Den stuff is just plain nutty.
I wanted to see the mural but I always forgot to go check it out and I understand that it has been painted over now.

Guess they don't want to see NAS Meridian, either...it kind of looks like a Swastika with one leg missing.

Nice production values, you know...filmed with a cell-phone.

And that must be one helluva tunnel...since they showed a shot of either Tonopah Test or Groom Lake (Area 51) in Nevada!

I don't know where those murals are...but I've never seen them.

I thought this thread would be about the rumor I have heard:

Of all the sites surveyed for the new airport (which was really a means of moving the airport for real estate developers), the site selected was the worst for wind and wind shear, rolling terrain, and vermiculite--if I'm spelling it right. Colorado has "expansive clay," which expands when wet. It is powerful enough to crack a concrete house foundation, and is a major issue in the Denver area. Supposedly, the site for DIA had the worst levels of said clay.

So why did they choose it?

As I heard it, Pena and Webb (the two mayors) held significant portions of the land (or their family/friends did)...and made a lot of money from it.

Since they mostly moved the airport for expansion and to stop noise complaints, I found it odd they started building houses right next to it, I believe even before it opened. Who would approve such a thing?

Oh, that's right....politicians.

All I got from this is that there are some disturbing murals in DEN... and that there is some chick walking around with a cell phone camera, and way too much imagination...

Speaking of this.....and I wish I could remember WHERE this was....but at some military base there was a total reconstruction and remodeling done to an old barracks I believe because it had been built in a swastika shape WAY back in the day. They were afraid that just remodeling it without correcting the design of the building would be insensitive.

There's more than imagination at work here..I'm sure some mind altering chemicals were involved too

Wow....$600k...whew!
It is too bad that a symbol with such an ancient history comes to be associated with only one thing.

So.....back to the original thread subject matter.....murals huh? At Denver?

I'll never understand why people can be bothered to be so upset over things that have no bearing what-so-ever on their day to day lives.

A swastika shaped building?? OH NO!! How will I sleep at night??
