A sister site to the Cheddar?

“Perhaps there is more going on that what even this author writes of?”

Sounds like it, and not surprising.

It’s not like we’re talking about Federal finances.

I didn't know that. Did Stapleton have much more than two runways? As a kid I played in Sand Creek right under the flight path of the east-west runway. Landing jets would be only 100-200 feet above our heads. Our neighborhood was just adjacent to the creek.

We also used to ride our bikes out to the terminal and roam the concourse for fun. We could go up on top of the terminals and watch the planes dock breathing in the fumes and exposing our kiddie ears to the full blast of the jet engines. No one ever confronted us and told us to go home. What a different time that was.

That’s dirt from under the airport excavation, I heard.

The first time I flew into DIA with gate-checked luggage, they had an automated system where these bags are loaded onto a cart and go into an elevator. Many people had tight connections to make annd the ground crew was totally unprepared for our inbound plane to be gated... it took forever... the staff gave poor instruction to people wanting their bag... intuitively 8 saw the rollup door like the luggage would come from there so I stayed put while 30 other people wander off the ramp and back on not knowing where to go (no instruction). When the door rolled up there were 30 people trying to get their gate-checked bags all at once through a 7’ wide doorway. It was like hyenas trying to pick at a carcass... the (piss poor) design SCREAMED “your tax dollars at work”... typically not considering basic human nature with SHTF scenarios... I got an email from the airline asking for my opinion, so I was honest and elaborated.... also complimenting the black male steward for being e tra attentive and cordial in-flight. They gave me an upgrade to 1st class on my next flight... no doubt because of the survey.

Also... weird baggage thing at DIA... the conveyor designed for handling nothing but skis.

I remember those times. We used to hunt coyotes and jack rabbits near Cherry Creek Dam.

Yep, it was way out in the country back then. Sand Creek was south of our neighborhood and the rest of Aurora was beyond that. North of our neighborhood was nothing but plains until I-70 was built and even then it was years until much more was built. It was good growing up on the edge of town. Ride the bikes a mile into town to go to the drugstore/soda fountain and go the other direction to be in the countryside.

Your description was perfect.

No I-25, either. Hampden Ave. was pretty much the end of town on the south. Two lane road down to the Springs.

Those were the days. We’d go to DU stadium to watch the fireworks on the 4th of July.

We could get M-80’s then. LOL

Back when the airport was built and when this art was first shown, people remarked on the look of the art (like 1930’s Soviet/FDR art), the messages in the art, and the entire theme of the airport. Back then, people told the “conspiracy nuts” to add another layer to their tinfoil hats. They told us that fascism/communism would NEVAH come to the US. After all, we have fair elections, moral law enforcement, and an unbreakable Constitution, right?

I’m jealous. The older guys told stories about M-80s and cherry bombs but I never got a hold of any. I guess the schools got tired of replacing toilets. LOL

Looks like lots of Diego Rivera type art. The Rockefeller Center mural with it’s overt pro-commie, anti-freedom anti-religion theme comes to mind.

LOL- We never messed with toilets. We were pretty selective on what we’d do with them because we couldn’t get that many at once and wanted to make them last.

That is the way I am these days. I just don’t give a shit what people think. t
They may think I’m a nut, but they definitely are interested in what I’m thinking.

We’d tie M-80’s to a weight and drop them in the water at Cherry Creek dam and the carp would float up.

The little German boy hammering the sword out of shape is a reference to the Bible verse about beating "swords into plowshares".

The sword is hammered into a sickle shape so that the boy is holding the communist symbols of the Hammer and Sickle. The same symbolism is used on a statue at the United Nations plaza in New York City. The statue was donated to the UN by the Soviet Union.

are any or all of the stated facts, the murals, the buried buildings, the unknown funding source....

true??
 

Largely, yes. There's enough disinformation spread to maintain plausible deniability.
