This is the best part; when a member of the community chips in and adds to the discussion, some take it even farther, like my boy Muddy Mike who found this old newspaper insert from 1972 while cleaning out an old house. How this old rag managed to escape the kindling stack I have no idea but thankfully enough people recognized the value and after half a century of collecting dust it finally made it to the spotlight. Now this thing should be considered a historical document all by itself and to the right person maybe even worth a few bucks, to us the real value is in the print. This is a physical manifestation of illusion. Nothing at all to back up the claims except a few woodcut images and a narrative that has been in a constant state of refinement for so long it now fits seamlessly alongside its neighbors.

The record is pure psychological warfare propaganda, whoever wrote this is a professional psychologist… or at least an expert in manipulation. The doc starts off with a two page poster size image of the Great Chicago Fire and gives a brief recount of the official line over there as its used as a gauge by which all fake fires are held beside. There was no fire in any of the conflagrations of the late 1800’s, however there are images of the city before the supposed catastrophe, so what gives?

I think that after studying nearly all the major fires of urban areas around the world I’m starting to get a clearer interpretation all of my own. In Boston there are parts that are obvious to me that showcase an urban quarry. Blocks are organized by size from massive cornerstones down to fist sized rubble and paver stones. There are steam-powered cranes and shovels nearby and sections of the city are blocked off so access is restricted to a few entry points. Some of the foundations reduced to gravel pits have a modern bank safe used to validate the claim that the bankster use for landgrabs, others just have a paint wood sign. That’s all it takes to confirm ownership.

The images featured in the paper all are wood cuts and at the beginning the authors provide an explanation before the reader even thinks to ask the question, “Why aren’t there any real pictures?” I think in part because the dates on the caption are wrong. Who knows how old the pictures really are but one thing I’m positive is they are NOT from 1872, they could have been sitting on a shelf for 100 years before being released, 400 years even. Lifes a garden, ya dig?

A second point is there are no people, in any pictures in any city the world over. I’ve read comments that people are under the impression photography was unable to capture movement at the time so people just disappeared bc they weren’t holding still. Thats crazy, motion develops as a blurr if nothing else. My conclusions are that the *global population was reduced to only a handful of the Merchant Class elites and a limited number of worker slaves, but not like the wage slaves today. There were ancient ruins in Boston that constituted the quarry but also an entire infrastructure that was empty and instead of having to explain how all this construction came into existance with no people occupying anywhere they made a photographic record and then blew it up. I discredit the fire line bc there is no smoke damage. No refuse or rubbish of any kind you will find in an urban fire setting today; no textiles such as carpets, clothes, mattresses or furniture…

There are multiple pictures of the supposed leaders and story characters but theyre all headshots taken of actors in a studio environment. There are a few pictures of actual firefighters but they are staged, either in front of a diorama, a mock-up with artificial props, or they’re costumes taken in the quarry.

One thing i love about this newest Boston Globe artifact is they say they have finally discovered the last remaining original fire engine that was just sitting in a barn for the last hundred years. They offer a brief correction to cover for another fake relic, the original headlamp taken from the engine that has been a tourist attracktion in Boston the whole time, of course THATS missing from the newly discovered engine bc its been on public display all along, duh.

So thanks again Muddy Mike, my man. Drop me a comment if you want the magazine back at any point in the future. If any one else has anything similar in nature my contact info is in the footer or just leave me a comment, here or the yt channel. Peace and chicken grease.
