All language subtitles for Conspiracy Theory s01e07 Apocalypse 2012

Hidden power, secrets, cover -ups,
corruption.

You think you know the whole story?

Think again.

I've been governor, a Navy SEAL, a
fighter.

I've heard things that'll blow your
mind. And now I think it's time you get

whole story.

Now.

A doomsday conspiracy.

The government plot to save the elite,
but not you.

We are maybe just a few years away from
destruction, the life of which no

society has ever seen. Do scientists
really believe the Earth is headed for

disaster in 2012?

That would fly out the transformer for
the planet.

Would be back to the dark ages.

One of the scenarios is this 5 ,000 foot
tall tsunami wave that will wash over

the continental United States.

Do our leaders think they can build
bunkers for a select few and leave the

of us to fend for ourselves?

The U .S. government have been on a
crash shelter building program from

coast. Jesse Ventura takes his
investigation to the highest levels of

deep underground.

Are your security forces prepared to
fire on American citizens to protect the

facility? They'll do what it takes.

That could be chaos. The end of
civilization or the beginning of a

scheme. Why wouldn't they prepare it?

Ancient prophecies. Lost symbols.

Solar explosions.

Underground bunkers.

The 2012 conspiracy.

I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is
Conspiracy Theory.

Jesse Ventura is in a race against time
at a major American airport.

His investigation into an end -of -the
-world conspiracy has led him here.

And all he has to go on is a series of
bizarre clues.

What in the hell is that inside the
suitcase?

Strange symbols.

Hidden signs.

A real -life mystery has suddenly become
a scene from a Dan Brown thriller.

And then...

Without warning, Jesse is surrounded by
police.

What? What the hell is this?

When I first heard of this 2012
conspiracy, it sounded like a bunch of

mumbo jumbo.

But then we got a tip from a guy named
Jim Higgins.

He edits books on conspiracies.

He said this could be the one to end
all.

He wasn't kidding.

The clock could be ticking on this one.

Governor, I think there's a real serious
problem that I think you are the person

who can look into. There is.

Something that's going to be happening
in the next couple of years. Scientists

have reported that there is going to be
solar flare activity that's going to be

much, much more furious than what we've
seen in the past. And this puts major

repercussions for people in this
country.

Wait, in a couple of years? You mean
we're talking the Mayan calendar here?

The governor has reason to be skeptical.

Many fears about 2012 are based on an
ancient Mayan calendar that happens to

on December 21st of that year.

But even that so -called end -of -days
prophecy has been subject to debate.

Whether you believe in the Mayan
calendar prophecies or not is actually

beside the point. There are some actual
scientific facts that have been reported

by NASA.

In about two years, the sun is going to
go through a very unusual series of

solar flares. The radiation that comes
out from that solar flare, that

electromagnetic energy, is going to hit
the Earth.

What they're talking about is something
major. How bad do they think this is

going to be? Well, it can be bad enough
that our crumbling electric grid could

be hit in a major way. Now, we're not
talking about a few cities losing power,

even. We're talking about it could be
half the country. It could be more than

that. The whole country and the
government's not concerned about this?

not doing anything about it.

Jim Higgins is about to clarify what he
means by not doing anything.

The government may not be working to fix
the grid.

But some people within the government
are planning to ride out the firestorm.

That could be chaos. Why wouldn't they
prepare us? There are underground bases.

FEMA has one in Mount Weather, and that
is a big fortress where they can house

literally thousands of people for
continuity of government. That means

government operating in times of an
extreme emergency. Somebody's got to be

charge. Right. We know that there are
dozens and dozens of other bases,

reported, known government bases in
various locations.

Who's going to go down into these
underground bases? People who are

wealthy and powerful. And the elite.

So a select few will be taken care of,
you're saying, and they will be put in

these underground places while the rest
of us are left to deal with the chaos

that goes on up here?

Exactly.

It can't get much more clear than that.

The elite live in massive, comfortable
underground bunkers.

You and me.

We're not invited in.

What you're telling me is that they're
preparing, meaning the government, the

wealthy people, they're being taken care
of and the hell with the rest of us?

We're being ignored.

Well, Jim, you've intrigued me with
this. I mean, I realize now it's beyond

Mayan calendar.

The Mayans may have been right, but
there's facts that indicate why they may

right. So I'll get my team of
investigators on this. That's great,

really think this is important.

Scientists, NASA, all are saying that
there's going to be some serious issues.

Now Jesse must find proof the government
knows disaster is coming.

Proof they're planning the survival of
the elite.

There's true urgency as the governor
fills in his team of investigators,

researchers, and operatives.

Well, people, you know, it doesn't get
any bigger.

than telling you this is the end of
civilization.

I talked to this guy, and he claims that
the government is out building these

underground bunkers, that only the elite
or the chosen few will be allowed to be

in these bunkers while the rest of us
apparently are going to burn in hell.

you serious?

I mean, is this based on that Mayan
stuff?

Yeah, it's a movie, right?

This guy says to me that it's real.

Let's remember something, people.

We're here to either prove or disprove.

Well, there are quite a few other people
that think it's real, too. So we're all

going to die in a couple years.

We need to find out some scientific
facts, don't we? Okay, look, there's a

called Larry Joseph. He's a researcher.

He's got the lowdown on all the solar
storms, and NASA backs him. Well, then I

think I'll take this one. I want to talk
to this Joseph guy myself.

After all, we might be running out of
time.

Coming up, is the government building
secret bunkers for the elite?

Jesse Ventura confronts an expert who
says he has proved their planning for

disaster. We are maybe just a few years
away from destruction the likes of which

no society has ever seen.

Then, Jesse meets the mole people,
ordinary folks already moving

save their lives.

I believe that the government does know
something bad is happening.

And later.

He deciphers clues to a secret shelter
beneath one of the busiest places in the

world. They're almost saying, okay, if
you're not perceptive, you're just going

to have to deal with it when it happens.
That's exactly the point.

Every second counts as Jesse Ventura
chases down the 2012 conspiracy.

It began as an ancient Mayan prediction
that the world will come to an end.

Now there's evidence our government
really is scrambling to prepare for a

disaster and planning to save only the
elite.

The governor meets a man who says he has
proof of what's ahead.

Lawrence Joseph is a science writer and
author.

He knows the scientific fact behind the
2012 warnings.

I'm here to wish you a happy
anniversary.

Well, my anniversary was a couple months
ago. What are you talking about?

We all had an anniversary a couple days
ago. It was the 150th anniversary of the

greatest solar storm ever to belch out
and hit the Earth.

Back then, didn't do much.

Made the northern lights sparkle plenty
and made telegraph wires burn a little

bit. But today, if we were hit by that
same size solar storm, the entire

electrical power grid would be knocked
out. Of the United States? Of the United

States, at least.

According to the National Academy of
Sciences, not just me, Governor, the

National Academy of Sciences, which is
the closest thing we have to a Supreme

Court, a scientific opinion in this
world, up to 130 million people would be

without electricity for months or years.
We would lose basic security, emergency

telecommunications, fresh water, because
the pumps are electric. And we are

vulnerable. And you're predicting that
that is going to happen at what point in

time? 2012.

Lawrence Joseph is not exaggerating.

Incredibly, NASA's own studies are in
line with ancient Mayan predictions.

This is the report.

It includes opinions from experts around
the world. It concludes that solar

storms could lead to a cascade of
catastrophe.

Well, if this is such a threat, then,
and it's only a couple years away, why

isn't it more on the radar screen?

When the National Academy of Sciences
report came out, it did get a little bit

of buzz and a little bit of press. But
it's even more than that. The next

NASA discovered something that makes the
why now more urgent than ever. And that

is? A squadron of five NASA satellites
called Themis, T -H -E -M -I -S, flew

through a hole in the Earth's magnetic
field that goes from the pole to

Why is that important?

Because the Earth's magnetic field
protects us from blasts from the sun.

Its job is to repel them and spin the
blasts around so they don't hit the

surface of the Earth. Sure.

Except that this group of satellites
found, much to everyone's surprise, that

there's this giant hole in the Earth's
magnetic field. It's like the shields

down, Scotty. They're supposed to be up,
but they're down.

Again, no exaggeration.

December 2008.

NASA reports its Themis spacecraft have
discovered a giant breach in the

magnetosphere, ten times larger than any
thought to exist.

And that's the Earth situation right
now? The shields are down?

It is.

While the governor gets a handle on the
grim forecast, his investigator, Jun

-Sar Pong, finds those predictions are
actually fairly tame.

there will be a huge reversal of solar
activity.

And trillions of particles from the sun
will fall into the magnetic field of the

Earth and destroy the civilization that
we now have.

Patrick Gerald is a Belgian astronomer
who's become known as Mr.

2012.

He's telling everyone the end is near.

He's also planning a survival bunker in
Africa, the world's largest.

We are starting from scratch.

Everything is completely destroyed.

There is nothing, nothing left.

Nothing.

When these billion ton blasts of protons
from the sun hit.

We're in the worst position of all
because our electrical power grid that

current all around the country is
operating at higher voltages and higher

frequencies and with more vulnerable
transformers than anybody else.

What do we do to prepare for this?

We need to install ground resistors.
Just place those resistors in between

ground and the transformer and protect
the transformers. Keep us from shorting

out the nation. But if it's that easy to
do?

Why isn't it being done?

Because we have one problem, and it's
not money, it's not technology, it's

politics, Governor.

Politics.

Jesse Ventura may have found another
conspiracy that only makes the 2012

problems worse.

You have to understand the nature of the
grid. The grid has grown up from

independent generators in different
cities and gets hooked up and is now

governed by public, semi -public,
private partnerships that span different

states. All different.

Well, my problem is, how could that be
political?

I mean, wouldn't the federal government
take charge of this? You would think

they could, but I do know that it's not
being discussed.

So you think that the world is going to
end in 2012?

Yes, the world, as we know it, our
civilization will be completely wiped

We are maybe just a few years away from
destruction, the likes of which no

society has ever seen.

Really? Yeah, really.

Hey, people, I got to tell you, this
Larry Joseph made sense to me because he

talked very scientifically. Then he
said, you can go to NASA and said, if

don't believe me, call them.

Well, he's not the only one that thinks
it's real. There's a Belgian guy called

Patrick Jarrell. Now, he's leading an
expedition to Africa where they're going

to build their own city, which he says
will protect them from this huge

catastrophe that's going to take place
in 2012.

Yeah, and I'm sure in return for your
safety, he'll take all of your life

savings. Hold on, hold on. Some of this
is actually coming from our own

government. So where are we on these
bunkers we're talking about here?

Well, we've been doing some research and
we found some satellite imagery that

shows what could be entrances to deep
underground military bases. When we call

the companies who supposedly operate
these bases, they deny that these

facilities even exist.

They deny that they even exist.

Look at the size of that thing. How can
you not have a record of that?

And why would they be denying them? That
raises the old flag up again. If it's

above board, why do you deny it? It's
one thing to be looking at it from a

satellite, though. We've got to go up
and see what these things look like from

land. You know what? It's time for this
investigation to head underground.

Coming up, is there a hidden
civilization beneath the American

Jesse Ventura goes underground to find
out.

The majority of our clients are wealthy
individuals who are looking for

protection against 2012.

Then, Jesse finds bizarre clues leading
to a secret city under a very public

place. This is a picture of the end of
the world.

And also, unprecedented access.

A third of a mile through solid rock?
That's correct.

Inside the 2012 bunker, the government
doesn't bother to hide. Are your

forces prepared to fire on American
citizens to protect the facility?

They'll do what it takes.

Jesse Ventura's investigation of the
2012 conspiracy is about to go

Literally. Does the government know
disaster is coming? And are they

underground survival bunkers to save an
elite few?

Jesse's investigator, June Saupong, is
in the southwestern desert.

She's matching up the satellite images
that supposedly expose the bunker sites.

The governor, meanwhile, is with his
advisor, Michael Braverman.

They're deep in the American heartland.

They're about to go even deeper.

Oh, my goodness. We're out here in the
middle of Kansas.

What the hell are we doing out here?

They're following a lead that civilians
are preparing their own underground

structures for 2012.

Some of them want to keep it a secret,
but one man is willing to give Jesse

Ventura a preview.

The old missile base, old missile base.

Site 11, the old missile base.

See, we've got hard wire fencing.

There it is. There it is.

Yeah. Look at that thing.

Larry Hall is the front man for the 2012
silo project.

This is an Atlas F missile site, soon to
be a survival condo. It's an impressive

facility. And this actually housed a
missile at one point for national

An intercontinental nuclear -tipped
ballistic missile that was capable of

reaching the Soviet Union. We're
essentially leveraging the tremendously

expensive facility of this
infrastructure.

to convert into a modern -day use.

So for us to reproduce this cost today,
estimates run in the $50 million to $60

million range to reproduce this
superstructure.

Let's go take a look.

Yeah.

Watch your step here. This railing is
here for an obvious reason.

Yeah, you don't want it.

Oh, yeah, it is big, isn't it?

How many feet down is that thing?

184 feet from where your feet are.

These walls and the cap that we're
standing on are nine feet thick of epoxy

-hardened concrete with some 600 tons of
rebar throughout this facility.

This one half of the door, each half
weighs 150 ,000 pounds, 75 tons.

We've got the crane and the basket to
take us down there. You want to see what

it's all about? Yeah, why not?

The governor prepares to step into an
uncertain future.

All right. Never been lowered down into
a missile silo before.

Hey, it beats walking.

Amazing how thick this concrete is.

Well, this is very interesting. We're
right in the middle right now of a

nuclear missile silo, 14 stories deep,
that eventually is going to be

built into condominiums that will
survive virtually almost anything you

imagine.

About 12 more feet.

Think of this as an...

inverted or upside down 15 -story
condominium building.

There will be a pool level on the
bottom. There's a mezzanine level above

that contains a workout facility.

And then there's quite a few other
levels. There's six condominium levels.

are facilities for hydroponic and
aquaculture so we can grow our own

food. And we're putting all types of
green technologies, wind turbines and a

photovoltaic for heating. We've got some
geothermal heat exchange. that we're

putting in here to help. This is an
incredibly energy efficient structure.

The many features of this underground
housing project make it easy to forget

people are buying the condos because
they believe disaster will strike in

You've got people that are prepared to
buy into this right now. Now, are they

just paranoid?

I don't think they're paranoid. All the
interest in 2012 -related events and

some of the new science that we've
gathered from that is, I think, what's

pushing the interest in this facility.

We can tell this one. We've got
additional silos that we're going to

This is the first one, and the response
has been phenomenal.

No.

2012, this day the Mayans predicted,
there is a lot of scientific evidence

something bad could happen in 2012. Do
you believe that?

What 2012 represents and what we're
finding out is increasing amounts of

would be back to the dark ages.

If 2012 is true, why isn't our
government raising the alarm?

If you...

were the benefactor of information and
you knew that there weren't enough

resources worldwide or even nationally
to protect and house

everybody for events that are coming,
what would you do?

I believe that the government does know
something bad is happening. I don't

think they know whether it's going to be
an extinction level event.

Jesse Ventura tracks down new clues to
the 2012 conspiracy.

The U .S. government, for the last 10
years, have been on a class shelter

building program from coast to coast.

Then, is a busy public facility a giant
lid over a secret city?

Jesse arrives to find out.

They needed to work several years in the
middle of nowhere where no one would

watch what they were doing.

And later, will a government spokesman
admit there are secret doomsday bunkers

for the elite?

We probably will have the glass doors
closed by the time you get here.

Jesse Ventura is deep into the 2012
conspiracy.

14 stories deep.

He's already dug up evidence that the
government is keeping secrets about a

apocalypse.

Now he's about to reveal the truth about
a top -secret program.

Building underground survival bunkers
for the elite, leaving the rest of us to

fry in an earthly hell.

Watch your step here.

The hunt has led Jesse and Braverman to
a private civilian bunker in Kansas.

while June gets a close look at alleged
government bunkers seen by satellites.

Those satellite images are right. There
are facilities or military bases out

here in the middle of nowhere.

All of them are guarded, and some of the
guards are armed.

Excuse me, sir, can we have permission
to drive down this road?

No, I'm sorry, you'd have to clear it
through Northrop Security.

So this is just the testing facility?

This is what you do here?

I can't discuss it with you.

A lot of them have landing strips.

That would help get materials in and
out.

It would also be a way to fly people in
in 2012.

There are a lot of these bases out here.
They're definitely guarding things that

we can't see, things that very well
could be underground.

Back in the Kansas bunker, Jesse meets
the man behind the survival plan.

Jesse, this is Brian Camden. He is the
architect and engineer of record for

project. How many of these structures
are you involved in, and how many do you

know that are being built right now?

Well, this will be our sixth Atlas F
missile silo conversion.

The majority of our clients are wealthy
individuals who are looking for

protection against 2012.

The major conditions that you have to
look at are the air supply.

How many persons is the shelter going to
be designed to hold with the occupant

load of it? And we do a concept that's
called balanced survivability so that

systems have the same level of
survivability depending on any given

scenario.

One of the scenarios of 2012 is this 5
,000 -foot -tall tsunami wave that will

wash over the continental United States.

2012 bunkers we build now are designed
to be completely submerged under water

for 100 hours. Really? Yes. And
withstand fires of the surrounding area

,200 degrees for six days.

When December comes, Of 2012.

Are you going to be here with your
family?

I plan on be vacationing at that time.
They're in it. And you too? Yes.

Really?

That's got to speak volumes to us all,
doesn't it?

The architect is obviously privy to high
-level intelligence.

Jesse grills him for information on the
government's scheme.

What's the largest one that you know of?

I can't say on camera. You can't say on
camera.

Jesse is hit on a sensitive subject. He
appears to be getting close to a well

-guarded secret.

But I can tell you the U .S. government
for the last 10 years have been on a

crash shelter building program from
coast to coast.

There have been times when I was trying
to order blast valves or filtering

equipment for a private client.

And during that time period, could not
get it because the government was buying

everything.

First -person confirmation of a secret
government bunker program.

The architect's claim is explosive, but
it pales compared to what he reveals

next.

How big is the largest one you know of
then, without saying where or when or

who? How big is the largest one you know
of? The largest one I know of is about

300 ,000 square feet.

It is built by the government.

It is located in the Midwest.

It is designed specifically for 2012 and
economic collapse. Really?

300 ,000 square foot? Yes.

Specifically for the government?

Yes. Under an obvious government
facility.

If you're building a 300 ,000 square...
I didn't build it.

Anybody. I mean, it's hard to keep that
a secret, right? You've got huge amounts

of equipment and manpower.

Not if you were building an above
-ground structure that took in four or

square miles.

And this was just a part of it, right
underneath of it.

Then it could be blended in with the
regular work and nobody would really pay

attention to it. If you're building...

A major metropolitan airport.

Think how easily it'd be to build in
underneath of it.

Are you giving us a hint?

That's a hint right there.

14 stories underground, Jesse Ventura
has been given a cryptic clue to the

conspiracy. The largest underground
survival bunker built by the U .S.

government under a major U .S. airport.

Jesse's got his conspiracy team
following up, even before he's back to

surface.

Governor? Yep? I've been researching the
lead, and I think it's quite obvious.

Really?

Coming up, Jesse follows leads to what
could be two secret government bunkers.

Can one be found through lost symbols
and secret signs?

This looks like a mural of the
destruction of the world.

And the other, already locked and
stocked for Washington power brokers and

rich supporters.

Are your security forces prepared to
fire on American citizens to protect the

facility? And they'll do what it takes.

Disaster is coming in 2012.

The ancient Mayans predicted it. Now our
government is preparing for it,

building underground bunkers so the
elite can hide while the rest of us die.

The U .S. government, for the last 10
years, have been on a craft shelter

building program from coast to coast.

That's the conspiracy theory Jesse
Ventura has been unraveling.

And a survivalist architect has given
him a clue to the biggest government

bunker of all.

Governor? Yeah?

He's talking about Denver Airport.

Really? Yeah. The conspiracy theory
people believe that Denver Airport was

to hide a bunker. It went way over
budget. It's in the middle of nowhere.

they moved about a third of the earth
that they moved to build the Panama

Really? The interesting thing is... The
military have given us the okay to go to

Cheyenne Mountain.

Okay.

Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.

The U .S. military's fortified command
center and underground survival bunker.

It's no secret.

But some conspiracy theorists believe a
secret underground rail system connects

it to the Denver airport 120 miles away.

But I think the airport is definitely
the place to investigate.

Yep. Well, then it's obvious I've got to
go to Denver.

First plane available.

Bye -bye.

Now the conspiracy team will attack on
two fronts.

Jesse's advisor, Michael Braverman, will
infiltrate the stronghold for

politicians and the military command.

The governor will fly to Denver
International Airport in search of

the elite.

There's a lot of strange things about
this airport.

It's 25 miles from Denver.

That's 19 miles farther away than old
Stapleton Airport, which seemed to be

fine. And they didn't just lay down
runways and build terminals.

They've got enough fiber optic cables to
cover a city.

A fueling system that's much bigger than
any airport would ever need.

Underground tunnels you can drive trucks
through.

And it just happens to be in the middle
of a big, flat, vacant piece of land

that's twice the size of Manhattan.

When Jesse arrives, Jay Widener is there
to meet him. Welcome to Denver

International Airport. Oh, thank you.
Let's take a walk and find out. Widener

a renowned 2012 conspiracy expert.

He knows his way around the mysteries of
Denver International.

And the mysteries are not hard to find.

Jesse is only a few steps into the main
terminal when he's confronted with a

sight out of a Dan Brown novel.

Now, this is the symbol of the
Freemasons, right? It is.

The Freemasons, the world's largest
secret society, accused in conspiracies

Satanism to extraterrestrials to the New
World Order.

It says New World Airport Commission?

Yes. Those are strange words. New World
Airport Commission?

Yes. Who are they?

That's actually the $64 million question
because we can't find that out.

But that's nothing compared to what's
around the corner.

Ignored by thousands of travelers each
day, yet displayed in plain sight.

What the hell is this?

Why would someone put this in an
airport?

What are they trying to tell us?

That's the mother of all solar flares.

All the kids are crying and they're
holding on and they're looking.

I mean, this is literally almost a
portrayal of the end of the earth. It

the world will be destroyed by fire. And
there it is. And look at who's going

extinct here. It's not just animals.

It's people.

So there's this strange motif of Mayan
symbolism mixed in with this

end -of -the -world motif, which
actually explains the purpose of Denver

International Airport. Right here, this
explains it. This is a place for the

elites to escape from what this is.

While Jesse translates law symbols,
Braverman has managed to get inside

Mountain.

This is, as I understand it, the most
secure facility in the world.

We like to call it America's fortress.

A retired Air Force colonel shows him
the place where top officials plan to

from 2012 disaster.

There are 15 buildings inside here?

There sure are. 12 of those are three
stories. 12 three -story buildings.

correct. Wow.

We're going about a third of a mile
inside the mountain.

A third of a mile through solid rock?

That's correct. Solid pikes peak
granite.

This looks like a mural of the
destruction of the world. These people

in a basement.

And all these people are refugees.

And the lord of death with the eagle and
the AK -47 is killing the dove of

peace. This is a person from the future.

The future? The man with the machine gun
is already here.

Already guarding the 2012 bunkers.

Coming up, the military's shocking
confirmation of the doomsday plans.

We probably will have the blast doors
closed by the time you get here. So

knocking on them will do me no good. You
can knock all day long.

And Jesse confronts evidence that
construction for the government's

apocalypse is still underway.

What in the hell are those?

Those are absolutely for a tunnel.

Jesse Ventura is at Denver International
Airport searching for evidence of

secret 2012 bunkers. He's getting closer
in a scavenger hunt for lost symbols

when suddenly he's confronted by airport
police.

The policeman dismissed the conspiracy
theories, but they do confirm the place

is laced with underground tunnels.

Jesse

doesn't

need the cops for details. The airport
is speaking for itself.

It says you can only RSVP a spot in the
doomsday bunker if you can read the

invitation.

I don't know why he's coming out of a
suitcase, but it's a very disturbing

image. Well, let me ask this.

Why are they giving all the hints?

I mean, it's like they're almost telling
you a story here. They're almost

saying, okay, if you're perceptive
enough, you're going to get what's going

happen. If you're not perceptive, you're
just going to have to deal with it when

it happens. See, that's exactly the
point. They only want people to survive

have certain kinds of perceptive skills.

Meanwhile,

Jesse's advisor is a short distance
away.

Inside Cheyenne Mountain, the U .S.
government's military command center and

bunker. So now we're deep inside the
mountain. As far inside the mountain as

can get right now.

This is the storage area where we keep
our button -up kits.

What does button -up mean?

Button -up is when we have a threat out
there and we close the blast doors.

We plan to have enough crews and
personnel in here to maintain the

period of time. In order to do that, we
have to have material for sleeping or

eating, meals ready to eat. We could
support over 1 ,000 folks in the

What kind of civilians might be allowed
in?

The civilians that support the mission
here.

Jesse and his guide, Jay Widener, drive
away from the terminal into the 53

square miles of flat, vacant land
surrounding the airport.

I've learned that in the last decade,
the government can't build enough

That's exactly right. Now, that leads
you with why are they building these

bunkers? The real question is this,
Jesse.

Why wouldn't the U .S. government take
precautions against some kind of

external or internal catastrophe?

Why can't they be out front about it? If
everyone found out that there were safe

quarters here, and a comet was predicted
to hit the Earth in two weeks,

you'd have very serious security
problems.

There would be two, three million
Coloradoans trying to get into the

here, and there's not enough room.

Also, I heard from people that one of
the things where they buy confidences of

politicians and people in the military
is they're offering them seats here at

Denver Airport.

You get a seat to get into the
mountains, and there are limited seats.

And you think that's how the silence is
held?

Absolutely.

Inside Cheyenne Mountain, the colonel is
about to make a chilling revelation.

Everybody seems to know where this
facility is. Let's say that there's a

event, a terrible crisis like 2012.

What would happen in the event that
hundreds of thousands of people storm

gates and want to get in?

That would be a problem. We would have
to control that kind of an entourage

coming up to the facility.

Are your security forces prepared to
fire on American citizens to protect the

facility?

They're trained to protect this
facility.

And they'll do what it takes. And
they'll do what it takes.

Jesse isn't far from the terminal when
he sees something that's almost as

shocking.

Construction. Denver International
Airport construction support.

Clearly there's a lot of construction
still going on when you look at this

because these aren't abandoned places
out here.

It's a surprise that we're even here
without getting arrested.

There's also excavation. Clear evidence
they're still digging beneath the

airport property.

See that pile of dirt over there? Way
over there?

That's not a mountain. That's dirt. This
is completely flat here. This is the

Great Plains. That dirt came from
somewhere.

Look at the massive quantity of rock.

And then, the reason all the earth is
being moved, like statues in the desert,

tunnels, structures waiting to be placed
underground.

What in the hell are those?

Those are absolutely for a tunnel.
There's no doubt about that.

We've heard that there are tunnels that
connect this facility to the Denver

airport. And we've heard that there is
an underground city that dwarfs this.

It's four or five times the size of
this, built under the Denver airport.

I am not aware of any kind of facility
like that in Denver.

Let's say there is a crisis in 2012.

Is this facility equipped to withstand
it?

We're very well protected, obviously.

Can I come back if something terrible
happens?

We probably will have the blast pores
closed by the time you get here.

So knocking on them will do me no good?

You can knock all day long.

They're still working.

Yeah, there's a lot of construction
here.

They're refurbishing and rebuilding
their underground city.

They made their worst -case scenario
escape hatch.

You firmly believe there's an
underground facility underneath this new

area? I've had drywallers, I've had
painters, I've had mechanics tell me it.

would they lie?

I believe them. Too many people tell me
the same story, and they're just regular

folks. They don't have an agenda.

It's part of a plan to save their butts
when the end of the world comes.

And they've got all the money in the
world so they can do anything they want.

It's as simple as that. That's all it
is.

More than a dozen contractors refused to
speak with the governor about

underground bunkers beneath the airport.

Put all the ancient prophecies and myths
aside.

Experts tell us there's scientific
evidence that 2012 could mean big

old Mother Earth.

And no one in the government is even
warning us to set aside a flashlight.

A lot of people are already making their
own plans.

I never thought I'd see the day when
people traded their homes for condos and

missile silos.

But they are.

And government bunkers?

They're no secret. The only thing we
don't know is how many and where.

I'll be thinking about it the next time
I fly into Denver Airport, and we'll

follow up in 2013.

Maybe. I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is
Conspiracy Theory.
