    Seattle SR-99 Tunnel: construction difficulties

    The wealth these 19th century chaps encountered and amassed is astounding. To pull it off they needed able-bodied men to produce goods, food and services-- thus the allure of fantasy-advertising and mass European immigration. Undesirable, misbehaving men, went to the Klondike for gold and later...

    Seattle SR-99 Tunnel: construction difficulties

    I'm sure you could see stuff like that into the 90s-- that's when Seattle started to degenerate into a NWO regional HQ. Dancing in the streets was a literal phenomenon in Pioneer Sq in the 80s.

    Seattle SR-99 Tunnel: construction difficulties

    Did you ever hear any more rumors about the cause of "Bertha's" sudden stop?

    Seattle SR-99 Tunnel: construction difficulties

    Mmm.. There is a steep grade to the bay. There has been a tremendous amount of building in that area over past 50-60 years. I can't really say. It is pretty fancy nowadays.

    Seattle SR-99 Tunnel: construction difficulties

    Mr. Zobrist worked at Seattle City Light-- that is right near the Chinatown possibility.

    Seattle SR-99 Tunnel: construction difficulties

    That photo does appear to be from the 60s/70s. Things change. I know the Chinatown neighborhood pretty well. It is close to the Pioneer Sq 1889 fire area. 4th St runs north from the train station with an slight uphill grade. I'm not as familiar with 18th and Madison. But looking again, it could...

    Urban Fire verdict: global attack on our civilization or incompetency?

    History of the present as Foucault would say... see this for very recent urban fires in British Columbia

    I haven't watched it; for (I have learned) the prevailing point of view is not one of awe, wonder, and, yes, humor but fear-- as you note. Maybe justifiable - but inflexible and, therefore, pointless. This is a good question. (Pardon my judgment). Ordinary "folks" who do watch TV can't...

    Railroad Construction: Light Ties or Strong People?

    Both construction photos above appear fake to me - like, say, photos of temple construction in Utah, etc.

    Seattle SR-99 Tunnel: construction difficulties

    I think it is down near the train station - China Town - nowadays known as "The International District". Jackson St crosses it. This has always been my impression.

    Nah-Po-Lee-Hon, The Late Great Kan of Tartary

    It does appear something is said here: ....got stranded, fat, on a island but returned and then Reminds me of the old story of Wǎ-xī-lǐ-yé-wéi-qí Aka: 瓦西裡耶維奇 (Vasilyevich)

    Napoleonic Wars and Year 1812: when did they happen?

    Wow. I usually feel deeply humbled by your research; now I know the probable existential reason for that sensation.

    Urban fire damage or was it a powerful nuclear-like explosion?

    "Static electrical discharge, caused by intense cold, mars the bombing shots." So says the propaganda. This video of the Dresden bombing might be a give away.

    @Llend You are no doubt right that not all those of the controller class are worthy only of scorn. This morning I read this, for example: Yesterday ...one of the great fighters of fluoridation in the UK has passed away. Earl Baldwin (grandson of former British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin)...

    I like your reading, but it fails to take account for certain facts, especially associated with cartels/families that seem to have pirate-like intentions of plunder and slavery. For example, both oil and petrochemical medicine are controlled and were initiated by Rockefeller. Painting the...

    What event turned Scythia into Tartary?

    Is it possible both types of people existed simultaneously? What are the implications if they did? The only analogue I know is the Indians of the western USA, living at least to some extent nomadic while cities stood everywhere. Survivors/escapees? Or culturally/spiritually given to this way...

    I forgot to mention that 1960s' Star Trek hit this theme. Who Mourns for Adonais?" (1967) The Phoenician sailors (Kirk, McCoy, Scotty) and their pal, Spock, outwitted the gods and destroyed their temples with Reagans, I mean ray-guns (or plasma discharge weapons).

    This thread is most interesting, Evidence humans were created and traded as slaves, food, entertainment and material resources But I'm optimist. (For absolutely no good reason, except I grew up watching Captain James T Kirk.) Perhaps this turn of the celestial wheel takes us into a new age.
