There's nothing weird like that at DIA. It's just a large clean airport. Those who think there's a conspiracy going on are probably the same paranoid people who think that the judical building in Golden, CO is a secret alien communication array. Those are often the same people who claim to have been taken from their bedrooms and probed by aliens.
As far as it being far away, there was a lot of debate over the location due the neighborhoods on that side of denver not wanting an airport within earshot of them. They wanted to leave plenty of room for expansion towards the airport. Then I think there was also something about the land being cheaper out there. Then it also allows for plenty of expansion room if needed. DIA is an extremely busy airport. It's only a matter of time before it needs to be expanded to accomadate more traffic. And that brings us to why they wanted a new airport.
One of the reasons they wanted a new airport is because there was no room for Stapleton to expand. Face it, there was nowhere they could put in another, larger runway in the middle of downtown Denver. Stapleton's runways weren't large enough for some new, larger passenger aircraft (airbus for example).
