Speaking of which, wasn't the Civil War gritty and dirty? Yet photos from even straight out of combat, they seem all clean. And I'm not just talking about the generals and higher ranks, which do get dirty even if not fighting much from the long days marching and moving.

Alright, I've had these photos saved for a good roasting, might as well add them to the thread...

Always gotta hide a hand. There has to be something to it. Cool flag...

What happened to that building behind these leisuresuits? Note the front porch is completely gone. Completely gutted. War was tough on your interiors!

Is this an All-Star team of all the armies?

Image 33 of 77, almost gives me the vibe that they're hunting survivors of something...

This is the same reason that helped me differentiate countless fake videos of isis/white helmets produced by our government recently. If you are observant, you can spot many if not all fighters with impecable new uniforms and outfits in the middle of the desert during war. Suuuure

If you do not believe me, go ahead and search for some of the more popular videos our media used to spin to further the agenda. Never seen so many clean terrorists in all my life.

Civil War Drummers

Anyone knows what military these two "drummers" could belong to?

The 2nd and 3rd pic don't look real, and the 4th one, that building looks anachronistic.
Yeah, like this firefighter with a helmet so shiny you can see your reflection. He's been at Ground Zero all day. At 1 minute in, he says it looks like a movie set.

I know we don't talk about recent events on this forum, but it just goes to show that, well, it's always been a show.

The photos of Abe are disturbing.. There are 2 men adjacent to abe with the hidden hand symbolism and a 3rd guy is laying down on the left side. I fail to understand why anyone would be allowed to do that with the president around...

I didn't notice any old growth trees in those photos either. At that time the forests/woods should have been nothing but old growth trees. And that building struck me as 1940's era too.

Yeah...it's like this army was going around hunting all the real leaders, killing them and using their corpses for prop photos to build a new history around. Or maybe the old society preserved the bodies of their leaders through mummification or like whatever happened to Lenin, and the army was rounding up the bodies.

They mummified Abe Lincoln, as far as I know.

Sure puts a different twist on his grave robbers at least.

A little more than 10 years after Lincoln was laid in the tomb, a group of counterfeiters attempted to steal his remains and hold them for ransom. As the grave robbers began to move the coffin, an undercover Secret Service agent that had infiltrated the gang called in police backup to chase them down and capture them.

This attempted theft of Lincoln’s body helped spur his son Robert’s decision to have the coffin buried in a concrete-encased vault during a renovation of the tomb in 1901. Before the burial, the question came up as to whether or not someone should open the coffin and view the remains. Rumors that the grave robbing was actually successful had circulated for years, and this would be the last chance to put them to rest.

The coffin was opened and 23 people inspected what lay in it. They all agreed it was the president and that he was in fine condition. His features were still recognizable and the wart on his cheek was still there. His chin whiskers remained and his hair was still thick (though his eyebrows had disappeared).

Brown and Cattell had more than made good on their promises. J. C. Thompson, one of the men who viewed the body 36 years after Lincoln had died, later said, “Anyone who had ever seen his pictures would have known it was him. His features had not decayed. He looked just like a statue of himself lying there."

Page 51 of the album at this link has yet more Zouaves Gardner's photographic sketch book of the War, v. 2 / Barnard and Gardner Civil War Photographs / Duke Digital Repository

Page 67 is an image of a wagon park with two horse and four horse (or mule) teams. Gives some perspective to the Napoleon thread 1812 French Invasion of Russia vs. Logistics

wagon park.png


Page 107 has what looks to me to be a Russian or Russian inspired church of wood. And I feel the man stood side on with his left hand tucked in his tunic, as you do, and right hand straight down with just his index finger extended is the same one who appears in some of the Abe Lincoln pictures and a couple of 'officers of the union army' pictures.

He's in this one on page 115 this time sat down on a chair with a cigar in his left arm at an awkward angle and a cigar in his right hand.

looks an awful lot like the one in this one on page 211 face left in his boater just behind the lady.

Screenshot from 2019-05-25 15:32:27.png

And the chappy with the beard on the left in profile with his right arm up could be matey again or the chap on the right of Abe in the op picture.

And this one the bloke staring straight into the camera

Screenshot from 2019-05-25 15:32:55.png

is he the same one holding the pamphlet in the one on page 115?

Update to add.
The bearded bloke is Pinkerton at least the bloke we are told was Pinkerton by powers that be.

Found this wonderful explanation/description. I do not know what photographs were included though.

I agree, many pics look like mannequins, especially the "dead" bodies piled up together, vs scattered, which they should be. And no discernible heads on many.

It's all staged bullshit.
Abraham Lincoln's real name was Stephen Phelps, along with his brother, Myron Phelps aka Jefferson Davis. Another brother played Mary Todd. They were practitioners of Babylonian Magic, heralding from Palmyra NY, named by their father after the highly significant biblical city Palmyra, Syria.

Sure is a GIANT! Just like all the other 1800s shots, all the little people are standing around gawking at him.
Some of the shots of the dead bodies, they look OLD. Other evidence of floods ABOUNDS in this photos.
Looks like a cleanup crew to me. And defend newly acquired areas. Who WERE they pushing back farther west?...

Looks whited out and that written in later. Too clear.

We might have to go all the way back to the first feeble attempts at a USA narrative for this land. Tie all of the supposed "wars" together to get the bigger picture.
Just like today, they aren't so cut and dried and they usually continue on in the same thread for the ultimate agenda.
So the "civil war" is just a follow up to something else. Cataclysms AND?...

I really don't know what to say, other than I don't think it's their choice to be up them there poles .

I also think after looking through these photos on various sources, certainly the military people in the photos, their eyes seem closed and painted on. Took me a bit to realise what it was, but I'm sure that's it. Other than all the other oddities.
