The Denver Airport Conspiracy
If
anyone has been to the Denver airport, they know how creepy it is. There are
many spine-chilling features that makes this airport strange and unusual. From
the gruesome murals on the wall of what looks like a Nazi surrounded by dead
children to the blue mustang referred to as “blucifer,” many people wonder why
the builders would ever consider putting these into the airport (Allegretti 1).
Numerous people think that this conspiracy is bogus; however, there are many theories
that seem to be true. There are several conspiracy theories that surround the
Denver airport:
1. Is the airport affiliated with the Nazis?
2. Is
the blue mustang and murals cursed?
3. Is
the airport the head of the Illuminati?
Let’s
take a look into these theories surrounding the airport and get down to the
bottom of why it is so disturbing and frightening.
First,
let’s look at the muralist, Leo Tanguma. He is a small and old Latino artist
famous for his murals that depict the struggles of society. He was born on a
small farm to Mexican ancestors in Beeville, Texas. He is well known for his
240-foot mural on the east end of Houston, Texas. This mural shows the
struggles and discrimination against the Mexican American people in the area.
He is also famous for his disturbing, yet beautiful murals in the Denver
airport. Many people wonder where he developed his unique style of painting.
Let’s examine why he paints such controversial topics and where that desire
came from. 
Leo first discovered his artistic ability when he was
just a small eight-year-old boy. He would draw the labor workers in the fields
on the farms he worked on. However, his first mural was drawn on a white board
in his fifth-grade classroom, it was “a drawing of a boy killing a sheriff” (Dalamangas
1). This was a local sheriff who was known for his brutality and killing of
local Chicanos, he killed several of them in his community, including “a close
relative of his mother’s (Monterrosa 1).
He grew up living in a minority, he was usually discriminated by his
peers and even his professors. He felt he needed to give a voice and rebel for
the individuals in his community who could not do it for themselves. The best
way he expressed his voice was through art.
Leo professes his determination through his murals, most
of his murals are drawn and pained of inequality and the discrimination of his
people. His most famous mural is in Houston, Texas. The mural included: “two
Chicano people emerging from petals,” “a woman with dismembered hands,” which symbolizes
the discrimination and oppression of woman, a “book without pages,” symbolizing
the Chicano artists and authors who never got to express their work to the
world. Lastly, there were “two Latino soldiers holding out their medals
“showing the lost lives of the Latinos who fought in World War II, and the
Korean and Vietnam war. (Monterrosa 1). His idea for this mural was seen during
the Chicano movement in the 60s and 70s. The movement was for the restoration
of land grants, voting rights, farm worker rights, political rights, social
rights, and more. This mural was designed to encourage the community to
comprehend the social and racial injustices the Chicanos were facing throughout
their community.
Leo Tanguma expresses his dark and mysterious side
through his murals seen at the Denver Airport. There are two paintings in
particular that people find creepy and disturbing, one filled with children
running from a fire and destruction, and the other showing children of all
different cultures standing over a dead soldier’s body. Leo explains that the
mural with children running from fire symbolizes “sadness over the destruction
and extinction of human life” (Mckee 1). Through his mural the audience can
sense the message that if the people keep harming nature and polluting, the
world will him to an end. This dark side is also seen in another one of his
murals which shows individuals standing over a dead body. Leo states that this
mural simply means “it’s possible to stop war by joining together” and “the children
are dreaming of peace in a world full of war” (McKee 1). He wants the audience
to understand that we can end war by creating peace through every culture. This
shows his mysterious side because society views his murals as creepy and dark
when in reality it shows the want for peace and harmony in the world.
Leo Tanguma best expresses his frustration of society
through his murals. It is best seen on the famous mural in Houston, Texas and
in the murals shown in the Denver airport. The root of his dark side comes from
his upcoming in the world. Growing up in discrimination made him realize he
needed to be the voice for the Chicano people and show society how they were
being diminished. He also shares his frustration of how we treat the world, he
reveals we can solve this problem by joining together to end the wars and to
create peace. His murals send a very good message, people need to stop seeing
them in a negative connotation.
The
Denver Airport has always been seen as a strange and creepy place. There are
many conspiracy theories surrounding the airport. In the first conspiracy,
people believe that the Denver Airport is the headquarters for the Illuminati.
The airport building was “2 billion dollars over budget” (Erbland 1). According
to theorists, they believe this “money went into building the headquarters” (John
1). Additionally, the builders screwed up the first few buildings and instead
of destroying them, they built over them, leaving underground tunnels and
buildings that no one has access to. Many also believe this theory because of
the failed automatic baggage system that is underground. The weird thing about
it is that it cost millions of dollars only for it to not work and for no one
to fix it. So many people question its purpose. Going back on the damaged
buildings they built over, the builders say they were allegedly blown up by a
construction worker, however, there are no original testimonies on the subject.
This leads people to believe that this is the headquarters of the Illuminati. 
The second conspiracy is about the weird murals and
statues throughout the airport. Let’s begin with the blue mustang outside of
the airport. The blue mustang is called Blucifer and it stands “32 feet tall
and weighs around 9000 pounds” (Erbland 1). People who see this statue say it
is “huge and imposing and its glowing red eyes don’t help matters” (Erbland 1).
They believe the statue is cursed because it killed its own creator. Artist,
Luis Jimenez, died in 2006 when “a piece of the sculpture’s head broke off and
severed an artery in his leg,” killing him instantly (John 1). Through the
death of the creator, people believe that the blue mustang is cursed. Thus,
giving it the name, Blucifer, meaning Blue Devil. Next, the murals throughout
the airport are seen as creepy and very disturbing. A man who knows Leo
Tanguma, the artist of the murals, states “a pair of diptychs have been linked
to the apocalypse, fascism, and just about every other evil under the Colorado
sun” (John 1). Meaning that people believe the murals show the future and that
they are signs of an apocalypse. 
The third conspiracy theory is about how the Denver
Airport is affiliated with the Nazis. Like many airports, the Denver Airport
consists of a central building surrounded by runways and connects them with
Taxi ways. However, when looking at these runways from the sky, “the whole
thing looks like a giant swastika” (Maher 1). If you google, “Denver Airport
runway,” you will see that the layout resembles what looks to be an exact
swastika. The next clue has to deal with the murals painted by Leo Tanguma. His
murals, “Children of the World Dream of Peace” and “In Peace and Harmony with
Nature” both show very disturbing images of children surrounding soldiers and
children with guns (Erbland 1). When you look closely at the soldiers in the
murals, you will see they are actually Nazi soldiers. This is also another
reason why people think they are affiliated with the Nazis since those murals
show the Nazi soldiers which is really inappropriate to have in an airport. So
why even include these Nazis in the airport? Does it have anything to do with
them being affiliated with anyone of Nazi origin? Many people wonder if these
theories are true.
All three of these theories tie together, so it is
possible that they are covering up some suspicious stuff at the Denver airport.
The underground buildings are super weird and could prove why people think that
they are holding secret organizations down there, especially since tours are
prohibited. Also, the strange murals and the blue mustang are also very weird.
Through the murals, people think that it’s showing the future and how it is
going to be apocalyptic. Next, the murals and layout of the runway are very
suspicious in the sense that they show Nazi affiliation. In fact, 58% of the
students at College of the Mainland think that there is suspicious activity
going on at the Denver Airport.
The
Denver Airport still remains a mystery with many unanswered questions. Many
people wonder why the individuals in charge of the project made it this way.
The spine-chilling airport has developed the following theories:
1.
Is the airport affiliated with the Nazis?
2.
Are the blue mustang and murals cursed?
3.
Is the airport the head of the illuminati?
Although
many think these theories are preposterous, there is much evidence that proves
something peculiar is going on in that airport.
