In a roundup of all the conspiracy theories they could unearth surrounding the airport, Vice reported on a lesser known conspiracy theory involving hepatitis. On an atrium floor, the letters “AuAg” set within the side of a mining cart are embossed in the terrazzo floor in gold metal. The theory goes that “AuAg” actually stands for Australian antigen—an antigen associated with hepatitis—and this is subtle foreshadowing that the New World Order is planning on culling some of the world’s population via pandemic. Vice is quick to argue that “AuAg” actually refers to Colorado’s history mining gold and silver, whose symbols are Au and Ag on the periodic table, which the airport confirmed.
