Plane passenger lifts the lid on WILD conspiracy theories surrounding Denver airport

A comedian has lifted the lid on the wild conspiracy theories surrounding Denver International Airport - after claims it had served as a secret meet-up point for the Illuminati.

Dustin Nickerson had been traveling through the transport hub when he decided to light-heartedly cast doubt on the rumors.

'I've reached the age where I can't believe in the Illuminati anymore. But it's only because I can't believe a group of adults agreed on a time they could meet together,' expressed Dustin in a clip uploaded to social media. 

'Like I'm in the Denver Airport right now, where there's always been these rumors  that the Illuminati meets underground. 

Dustin Nickerson broke down why thinks that that the chances of the airport being the secret meet-up point for a faceless secret society are slim to none

Conspiracy theorists have glommed on to the Denver International Airport for decades

'When? What time? When can grown-ups meet up together?' the content creator sputtered. 

'Someone's always sick. There's a kid. There's a thing at the vet. There's no way.

'Plus this place is 45 minutes outside of Denver. I don't drive 45 minutes to go to go see my dad, let alone go to have a little secret meeting with my friends. Absolutely not.

'I just can't imagine, a, they could get together and b, they could agree on a plan.

'We can't agree on what to watch on Netflix together!

'But, now that I think about it, that does makes sense, that the Illuminati is just some middle-aged, apathetic adults, who are like, "Yah yah yah, I don't care man, just put an 80-year-old in charge, I got to get my kid to volleyball practice."' 

He added in the caption of the clip: 'Sorry conspiracy theorists, I'm not buying this one.'

In a second clip filmed from the DIA, and reposted by account @IAmThirtyAF, Dustin began a rant: 'Denver, I love you. But respectfully, I hate your airport.

'Nevermind that the Illuminati meets under here, or that you have a terrifying blue demon horse that killed its maker at your main entrance.

'Why is it so far away? Huh? I am halfway to Kansas right now. Also, does everything have to be a 20-minute walk here? Can I get a shuttle to my shuttle? I hate this airport,' he concluded.

Separately, Dustin vented that he 'hate[s]' the airport, for reasons from the 'terrifying blue demon horse' statue to the long walks across the expansive terminal 

The Blue Mustang statue in front of the airport, known as Blucifer, killed its maker, the artist Luis Jiménez, in 2006

Conspiracy theories surrounding the DIA date back decades, with the main one being that a faceless group of ultra-wealthy individuals - alternately described as Freemans, the Illuminati, or other such fictional or mythologized groups - who conspire behind the scenes to control the trajectory of world history - meet in a secret space underneath the airport's massive grounds.

In an article on the topic, the Denver Post hypothesized conspiracy theorists have glommed on to the DIA due to 'airport's mix of bold public art, unusual architecture, infamous construction problems and an internet-fueled cycle of self-feeding paranoia.'

Note that the Freemasons are a real group - just not one actually holding the massive amount of behind-the-scenes power conspiracy mongers would have you believe.

They were also involved in a time capsule that's entombed near the airport's south entrance, set to be opened in 2094.

There's also the 'blue demon horse' mentioned by Dustin.

The massive sculpture, officially titled Blue Mustang, overlooks the entrance of the DIA - and is commonly known by its nickname, Blucifer.

And it actually did kill the artist who made it, Luis Jiménez, in 2006, after part of it fell on him, severing an artery in his leg. 

In any case, the Denver Post article further made a salient point.

'Theorists… have never successfully addressed this notion: If the airport and its backers have spent decades and billions of dollars hiding secret, global plots and infrastructure, why jeopardize that work by putting so many obvious clues in plain sight?'
