Officially, the below carnage was caused by the Great 1871 Fire of Chicago. We have extensively talked about various related devastating urban fires before.

At this point I simply wanted to ask one question:
  • In your opinion, what mechanism (or mechanisms) of destruction could cause the observed damages?

Congreve Rockets or a more sophisticated lost version which seems likely as there appears to be no military engineering advancement which is an outright lie.

Fired from either ships or aerostatic machines. It's why the sky is always whited out.

Looks like Germany or Japan post-war. Hard to imagine a fire doing this. I'd say nukes or something from the sky. Definitely a bombardment of something.

I don't know, but the answer has to include the ability to avoid telegraph poles and wires. To me, that means we're talking about something that was incredibly accurate, or something that mostly destroys stone, or all of these photos are fraudulent.

I have no idea what could do precisely that sort of damage. The big building in the background to the rifght is commensurate with the appearance of a burnt out broick building here that is still standing but the rest of it?
What do you think?
Can you spot the man in that picture?

Looks like another ghost to his left.

In my previous life I worked as an Insurance appraiser. I would rate buildings and structures based upon their chance of loss and percentages of potential damage. The materials used for the supports and the roof were more important, and better rates awarded for either steel or concrete, over aluminum, wood, or other materials. But to answer your question, with some still showing walls in place, I can tell you that it was probably not a fire, at least as we know it today. Looking at the ruins afterwards, I would have checked to see what they were storing there - what accelerant could have increased the intensity of
the fire? But with office buildings you don't have that much of a problem, normally. Heated concrete that is hit with water does cause deterioration of the supports, but that type of rubble seems to have arisen from the type of magnesium firebombs employed in WWII. Thermite comes to mind. I had several thermite bombs near my desk when I worked as a Cryptographer - I was to set them on top of the machines and walk away in the event that outside persons gained entrance - thermite burns metal or other objects, right down to the floor, and even on through the floor if you have enough material.

Not convinced this or any images from this time are original 'photographs' this one for example appears to have a lower resolution background than foreground. And as @Mabzynn says there is always the sky issue.

One thing I have noticed in these images, is a distinct lack of glass, broken or otherwise. Did they not have window paynes?

What kind of weapon? Some sort of directed energy, that disolves stone and vapourises glass?

This particular photo looks like an earthquake to me. Other ones are the really weird, I think.

John Levi noted, in one of his videos, the diagonal slashes that are seen in so many of these photos, on the remnants of brick buildings. Not sure how significant that might be. When a brick building collapses, does it normally leave diagonal walls like this?

The more I look at this photo, the more I really think it's just a forgery or a movie set. Or both. The buildings in the back are more erased than destroyed.

Our paintings are photos and our photos are fake. Can we even be sure when this photo appeared in our timeline?

I agree with you. Odd that masonry is on the ground and wooden telephone poles are still standing. Even if it was artillery barrages or aerial bombardment, how could they miss the telegraph lines.

It doesn't look like a flood, it doesn't look like an earthquake, it would never be a fire or explosions. It looks more like a DEMOLITION.
They could put the name of Big Fire without SOOT.

It was a fire. A GREAT fire. Can't you tell by all the soot on the remains?

I never even thought about the sky being so uniform in all these photos. Good catch.

They were heavily into playing with plasma and EMF by this time (re) discovery happening by mid 1700’s And this is late 1800’s (probably relating back to fasces technology). Various mind control techniques were also playing out heavily starting then, and the growing realization (and testing) of what this can accomplish. Then to find out BOTH happen with EMF tech. Win, win for the controllers.

What is causing all of thefires now, that seem to totally destroy houses and buildings? Now the only excuse is bad weather (plus elusive terrorists) and not even earthquakes, or lamp lighting (0h yes, campfires). For some reason the general population -even in 2020- cannot comes to grips with reality of EMF weapons. Probably because they are invisible. Some, even when they know intellectually this truth, cannot seem to extrapolate out what it really means.

I don't see any evidence of a fire in that photo, though there was a fire. I think the fire was a cover for the demolishing of those downtown structures. I live in Manistee, and on that same day, this city burnt down too, along with a number of other Michigan towns. The photo I'm adding shows some structures that appear to be untouched by fire in Chicago.
