Great Conflagration of Portland, !866

[Otto_Didactic]

I found another city supposedly razed by a "Great Fire. This time it's in Maine. The year and location are relevant bc images could be mistaken for Richmond or Charleston or any of the Southern cities in ruins that hid behind the Civil War cover story. There was no Civil War, the land was already fucked up. Portland is too far to the north to use the umbrella excuse provided by the scriptwriters so they came up with a series of "Great Fires" and "natural" disasters and incidents of unrest to do the same job. Boston had a Great Fire, Chicago had all kinds of problems, Pittsburgh had a riot that targeted the railroad, St Louis had a cyclone, Minneapolis had a fire... Thats just a few.
The date was July 4, and the fire started from a firecracker, thats mockery, the first birthday after the fake war and fireworks themselves are an allegory for the Reset.
1866 Portland fire
Heres just a picture or two. Independently there isnt much to say, its just a bunch of cool pictures but taken in the appropriate context this is only one city of many that all have similar circumstances. This is a showcase example of 'Compartmentalization' and how ppl are kept from seeing the complete picture by only showing them one piece at a time.
Note the travel lanes are immaculate, theres no debris, and mature trees grow through the rubble piles. This whole city is like this and (relatively) every city in the world.

Once again - great work! What is the source of your images?

I'm near Portland, Maine and I'm going to chime in on this thread. I never believed the absurd explanations about the 'fire' of 1866 and I have a theory. I believe there was deliberate destruction of Portland, via simple but powerful weapons of the day - cannons on Fort Scammel (aka modern day House Island). Here's my data and analysis:

• The destroyed section of waterfront Portland consisted mostly of brick and/or other masonry buildings. A fire 'breaking out' and burning hundreds of masonry buildings in a matter of several hours is patently absurd. Looking at the photos on numerous sites, including WMTW news, Maine Public, and more, the destruction is staggering - enormous granite blocks, brick masonry and other heavy debris violently crumbled to blocks and bits, flat on the ground in piles of rubble. No char marks. Looks exactly like the results of a modern day wrecking ball project.
• Look at the main swath of destruction as clearly shown below via the Greater Portland Landmarks website. Its a crescent shaped affected area that faces about 120 degrees east-southeast. There is something very curious at that heading, just 1.0 mile offshore is Fort Scammel, a heavily fortified defensive bunker with numerous cannon holds.
  
  
• Now look at my map showing Fort Scammel in relation to the red shaded destruction area. What do you notice? I looked up cannons of that era and they easily could achieve a firing range of 1-3 miles. Fort Scammel, once again, is just 1.0 miles offshore. And the topography of Portland is such that it slopes up from the shoreline, the increasing elevation providing a great direct view of islands, including Scammel.
  
  
• I've been to Fort Scammel (aka House Island). Its an incredibly well built fort made of masonry blocks, entrenched well underground and extended 1-2 stories above ground with cannon holds surrounding it. Enormous amounts of ammunition was formely stored inside the vast cavernous interior spaces. See below:
  
  
• My theory is that the powers-that-be could have easily mounted a false flag attack on Portland from Fort Scammel. Start a fire on the mainland to immediately distract, disperse people and send everybody into disarray, and any time begin firing dozens, hundreds or even thousands of heavy iron cannon balls at the red shaded area. What the f*ck else could have caused this type of massive, impact style destruction?

For some reason I HIGHLY doubt "cannonballs" are going to do that type of destruction.

This is the type of damage cannonballs do - Google Search

Obviously, click the Images link on the page the link above goes to.

Well that's the entire point of cannonballs, to destroy structures, vessels and more made of wood, brick and even iron. Not that hard to imagine that bombardment with solid iron balls weighing 12 or 20 lbs each, traveling at high speed, sustained for a period of hours can bust these red brick buildings. Also there are other types of cannonballs called explosive shells that detonate upon impact.

 

[jeenam]

Yeah. No. Seriously.

If someone were to come across a posting from the "Scientific Community" that claimed cannonballs did that destruction it'd be ripe for the Daily Fake thread. To try and convince anyone that cannonballs did that type of damage is an insult to human intelligence.

 

[jeenam]

Also, if it were cannonballs, there'd be divots and little craters all over the place from the projectiles that didn't manage to hit buildings. As is clearly plain to see in the photographic "evidence", there are none of those.

Cannonballs...smh.

 

[dlux]

Cannonballs...smh.

Ok so my theory is absurd that cannonballs destroyed these buildings, which is what that weapon is specifically designed to do. What do you think happened?

One of the theories is Directed Energy Weapons. Basically anything but cannonballs based on the fact there's no damage to the ground. It could have perhaps been a nuclear weapon of some sort as the damage resembles photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Let's suppose they did use cannonballs...

Do you really think they would actually achieve a 100% hit rate and never miss buildings and not hit the ground and cause craters in the ground? Based on how I imagine how "accurate" cannonballs would be, I'd have to say the chances of 100% hit rate and no craters in the ground is up there with the existence of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny being real.

Yeah, I'm also open to it being a DEW attack. I'm first trying to convince myself that such technology was available to the PTB back then, and was being carefully utilized to achieve these types of resets.

One has to relieve themself of the false indoctrination that human civilization has slowly and gradually been "advancing" since the days of cavemen and pastoralism. We haven't been advancing. There was a world-wide (whatever that means, as I have zero belief we live on a globe) reset of sorts and we lost access to pre-reset knowledge and technology. Search the forums and there are numerous threads regarding the destruction of cities all over the Americas.

This is a great exchange you guys, thx for this....
Question to either of you, (and if it's been said but I missed it my bad), but, is there any evidence of things like melted bricks?

I haven't seen anything related to meltology in the Civil War/Fire photos of cities from the 1800's. It would seem different weaponry was used in various locations to cause the destructions. I'd guess the infrastructure that was melted was destroyed around the same time the cities went kablooey, but that's just a guess. However, it does seem pretty clear that whatever was in the region of the Dakotas was certainly destroyed using methods that employed extreme heat.

I'm in the dew camp as well dlux, but I think your initial theory is totally solid and reasonable. I would add as well that naval vessels could be responsible as all of the damage is essentially on the waterfront. For some reason, this Portland history is giving me Crimean war vibes?

But but but there's NO CRATERS!!! Seriously, it's mathematically impossible to have 100% hit rate from cannonballs and not make any craters.

No I know, I think it was a good initial theory, but I know it doesn't hold up to closer inspection...

While we're at it, we should put some of those cannonballs stuck in the walls in the Daily Fake. First off, some or even most of those wars were fake, so the premise is faulty, but also take a close look at some of them. One of them is stuck perfectly in the center of bricks (because chiseling near the edge would break too much brick), with half bricks mysteriously above and below it, with mortar around the ball. You could say they just added that to keep it preserved but I can say they added that after they busted a dent in the wall to stick the ball.

I went to Gettysburg, where one stop of a tour was one of these walls. Even as a kid I knew they had faked it for the tourist trap because none of the nearby walls of buildings were affected yet this one wall had marks all over it. Back then I thought they shot up the wall, but now I know they just took a hammer and chisel (people do the easiest thing they can get away with).

As for the possibility of artillery, it is possible, since even catapult balls were supposedly used to bring down masonry buildings and smooth-bore 19th century cannonballs would hit the wall with a hundred times the kinetic energy.

As for lack of craters, all of those photos were after the cleaners went in and cleaned it up, would have removed any unexploded ordinance and anomalies like craters. Censors would not allow us to see a picture that differed from the official narrative. Verdict: possible, more likely than a DEW (before its time) or nukes (also a candidate for the Daily Fake).
