Another city with loads of Old World architecture being destroyed by fire. I can hardly mention a major city anymore that didn't have a huge fire around 100+ years ago. I'm starting to see a pattern...! Great video as always, JD!

I lived with a Rail Fan - train fanatic who showed me the beauty of the old world buildings which I have always loved. Until 2020 I knew nothing about how their dates don't add up.

@@HashRecord Hi Ahmad/HashRecord -We still have buildings that are centuries old standing in my hometown. So the explanation isn't just that "old shit is extremely flammable". Buildings were destroyed on purpose, is my point.
There wasnt water infrastructure like today and safety standards weren't in existence. Every house and business used fire for heating or energy source fires happened....alot
Thank you Jarid! Another amazing video with mind- blowing images! I have been collecting old world photos of Toronto for over a year now, and have been wrapping my brain around starting a MF/old world channel that examines locations here in Southern Ontario. You continue to inspire. Take care, and I appreciate you and your work so much. Cheers, LeeAnn
Fire do not left wood pillars alone, neither destroy brick's structures like we see... Those images are like any picture of devasted town in Europe during WW2... "Great Fires" occured worldwide exactly at this period, which is enough to conclude that it can't be the cause of what we see... We are a lost civilisation because we don't have our real past in mind. Love your Vids !
Thanks for sharing these amazing photos. My dad was born in Toronto, “Cabbage-town” in 1914. My mother moved to Toronto in 1928. I grew up just north of the city during the 1960s and 1970s. I had no idea how beautiful and prosperous Toronto was. People always referred to it as Hog-town or Cabbage town. I knew there had been a fire, but it was always implied that the fire just consumed shanties and wear houses. It is crazy to the the pictures of the stone building the “fire” consumed. Funny how the history of Toronto (or its architecture was taught on school). We were always told if we wanted history or culture we would have to look to Montreal or Quebec. Toronto certainly does not appear to be the back water I believed it to be
Excellent presentation! Thank you for sharing this with us! The fire aftermath of 1904 looks identical to the destroyed city of Atlanta , after General Sherman burned it to the ground during the Civil War!
Great video. I'll have to look for part 1. 3:08 - The Brown Brothers had only recently built and moved to that location before the fire. The company had outgrown its original location on King. My husband's 2x great-grandfather and two of his siblings started that company. They rebuilt again and were in business until the 1980s and eventually absorbed by the Blueline Company. Brownline daily planners/calendars are still in production today.
Interesting! Part of my family has links to the Brown Brothers as well, on my mother's side. Today that part of the family is largely less relatable, so today, we might actually be distant family!
My Great Grandparents moved to Parkdale in 1909 from Halifax NS (see first gray cup sign) My great grandfather was a cop, my ggrandmother and grandmother and mother all worked at Eatons, My gg aunt worked at the carpet factory on King St. She told me about the Halifax explosion when she went back to visit, no one ever mentioned this downtown fire. Im 70 and I never heard of it. I did know about the Fort York explosion and history of Toronto as I looked into it all many times. The whole story behind Casa Loma never made sense to me. The focus of my Toronto research was the west end I grew up in many apts around the humber river, my mother's dance school was at jane and bloor for 60 years. That was (so they say as Martin would say) the location of the Teiagon Native community around the Old Mill and Baby Point. (I'm spelling their name wrong) I still have old map of it somewhere. This has to be a Mandella effect for me I have looked up the history wherever I have lived that is my thing... how did I not run across this fire. Well that was interesting to say the least. Thanks.... great distraction
Hello, My dad was born in 1914 in Toronto. Cabbage Town. I grew up in RichmondHill in the ‘60s and 70’s. I remember one of my parents talking about the great Toronto fire, but the implication was that it was a shanty town. I too knew about the Halifax explosion, but never the Fort York explosion. No one ever mentioned the magnificent and huge buildings which “burned”. Crazy that we never studied the history or architecture of Toronto in high school. Again it was always implied that for history and culture we should look to Montreal or Quebec City. It almost like it was covered up. My paternal grandmother worked as a cook at Eatons in the 1940s or 1950s. I wish I knew more about the city I say I am from.
Now that you mention shanty town I remember researching old Toronto history and all the pics of the shantys. All I saw that was grand was the old mansions of King st etc I'm pretty sure this s a Mandela timeline shift🙄
@@AlannahRyane The whole Mandela thing just freaks me out. I won’t disagree with you though there are simply to many many of them to be all “misremembering”.
@@AlannahRyane I agree with you, massive fires in every major city in North America pretty much and no one talks about them? You would think our history books would say something about them but no... just Chicago.
So.. 1) Find an old world city in semi ruin. 2) Register it s a going concern. 3) Insure it. 4) Fake a fire that reduces it to how it already is. 5) Get paid out, ultimately from the public purse, and continue with a false history of the place. Its too grand a plan to be purely human. Metaphysical forces behind the overall plan, given that its a trick they played in literally countless cities. Keep up the apocalyptic research Jarid, much appreciated.
@@ramzahnY no, the money grabbers are the water carriers. They are controlled by metaphysical forces, who use them with the lure of wealth to carry out the nefarious plan.
Since I recently stumbled on your channel, I've had a fascinating journey through your photos and narratives. But the more I watch, I'm starting to realize you're one of my absolute most favorite story tellers ever. It doesn't sound like you're reading from a script. Yet you're not absent minded, and I don't ever hear you say "um," "um,' "er." You are enjoyable to listen to. It's so pleasant to hear someone talk about absolutely anything, with passion and personal infliction. Such a break away from the RUclips "boiler plate list videos" Please never stop what you do. 🥰
I worked in downtown Toronto doing construction for 28 years before downtown traffic became to much. Staring at the gardiner and not being able to get to it for an hour was to much. It was great to be a part of building such a good looking city. I was lucky enough to work on many heritage buildings and also monuments up university Avenue and queens park. I went back downtown 3 years ago and the transformation was incredible in nearly the 7 years i was gone from there i barely recognized the place. I still marvel at where the engineers and architects found room for some of the massive builds that were done without removing the old architecture. Amazing
I went to Casa Loma about 4 years ago before I knew of the Tartarian idea and I remember thinking it looked like an old old fort and after hearing the presentation on it's "true" timeline I thought it was absolutely bull... should have listened to my inner knowing then
A few years ago I would just randomly pick a city and google it with the word fire. I was flabbergasted. Even smaller cities. It was a very interesting time spent.
I have done the same and could not believe all the fires! We all heard about the great fire of Chicago but every single city suffered the same fate in that time frame and no one talks about it as if it's some big secret!! I don't understand! Even the city I'm from, Montreal had two huge fires in 1852 that took a lot of the city in the East end but it was a big secret as well! Crazy!
What I find amazing is , what are those poles made of, they seem to have not been affected from fire. Obviously not wood. Or the greatest application of flame retarder ever known
The buildings were not wood either. Looks like laser bombs hit just like all the other suspicious big city so called fires around the same time. Hmmmm...
They are treated in bitumen and petroleum, them poles should burn like matches...San Fran, Toronto, Dresden, Hiroshima...all look the same, trees and wooden fences all seemed to be intact.
I remember being told, that all our highways are old native trails... certain hwys have alot of accidents. A friend sent me a random vid on ley lines, just because, but it got me thinking... what towns an hwys r on these currents an could it cause accidents. Then ur vid shows up in my algorithm which has only added more questions that I need to search for lol❤
I really wish somebody would be together a video showing all these major cities worldwide in the late 1800s and early 1900s with the same exact destruction and a lot of the same stories. The cities were brick and granite yet they look like they were put through a blender. Pictures of the south in the Civil War of America and the Paris commune resemble exactly what we see in all these other citie
You know I can't imagine how hard those fire fighters would have had to work to ensure the fire wasn't extinguished for lack of fuel alone. I've got rocks around the perimeter of my fire pit and they've never once caught fire, no matter how much wood I though in the pit. These "great" fires of the early 20th century are amazing to me. They almost seem like a litmus test for stupid as a precurser to the space race that follow a few decades later. Every county seat in Texas burned to the ground in a great fire of 1920 something or another. Simply amazing! One would almost be left to believe the fire fighters back in the day were there to start, spread and keep the fires burning rather them put them out. It's like a society with a legal system that's sole purpose is to deny justice or a medical industry that's famous for spreading death and disease. Who could ever imagine such an ass backwards society of people? Here's your sign...
Many witnesses in Chicago and Boston state that's exactly what was going on! I believe it! They came back and said that they had to dynamite the buildings to "stop the spread" ... 👌🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️
the problem was that the buildings were entirely built of wood on the inside. they hadn’t yet developed systems of construction that slow down and inhibit fire. so fires would quickly spread, not only throughout the building but also from one building to the next. add to that the fact that fire fighting equipment was still primitive, the buildings had no sprinkler systems as they had not yet been invented….
@@derekbirch1410 I am aware of what they told is in school. I am telling you that I don't buy it for a minute. The aftermath demonstrates a different story entirely. Nothing they are saying makes any sense at all. These places look like they were carpet bombed. See San Fransico and Chicago... A wood fire is not going to destory any masonry structure. Sure the wood may burn, but the walls are not going to crumble into pieces. Something else was going on here. Further, when you look into the number of old world structures that burned in the 1920's alone, it's staggering. This was not a coincidence, no way! Our history has been destroyed and it looks like we're gonna follow.
@@derekbirch1410 good boy. Repeating main stream HIS story really doesnt do it for me. Actual research shows more was going on then what we were told in indoctrination camp.
I was in carpentry/tile setting/construction for about 18yrs. Scaffolding is used all throughout construction of residential as well as commercial spaces. Scaffolding Does Not mean new construction, it can, but it is not a fact. Scaffolding is used for demo as well, refab, reno, etc. Soo many of these old photos of old world show scaffolding and probably come with stories that the construction is new and current for the picture's time. Any person with eyes to see could assume so many of these stories false as just glancing at the building itself would sway you into thinking the stained and darkened masonry had been in place for 10s if not hundreds of years! I think only under the direction of the controllers did "we" ever even mod these old structures let alone completely build them : )
I live in this city. Most of the “old world” buildings you showed in the first video are still here today. Old City hall, Ontario legislature, University of Toronto Trinity college and many churches. I recognize many others from pre-fire Toronto. It really only destroyed the downtown
In general almost every major city had a similar situation happen that destroyed the older buildings.most cities are said to be fully built out within a very short time frame.there is just way to many inconsistencies with the timeline and narrative.for example salt lake city was built by 1500 Mormon settlers within like 30 years and they have some very nice buildings but I'm sure you know this jarid
Not a single tree over 10 yrs old. Everyone except the lady playing golf was wearing a head covering. EMF protection, or a mind control device for the foundlings? Greyed out skies. Good grief charlie Brown. Thank you for the great presentation. Aloha
Something questionable on 5:21 the sunlight soap add on the side of the building . The fire looks hella fake like painted on. But the building across from it looks like a photo.
The Great Fire of Toronto of 1849, April 7, 1849, also known as the Cathedral Fire, was the first major fire in the history of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Much of the Market Block, the business core of the city, was wiped out, including the predecessor of the current St. James Cathedral. The 1831 building of the Toronto City Hall and St. Lawrence Market south of King was damaged and was torn down.
Setting fire to old buildings is a tradition in toronto. This city is notorious for burning down and destroying it's architectural history. I had a conversation with an architect who had lamented at the loss of culture in the city.
Nathan Phillips QC (November 7, 1892 - January 7, 1976) was a Canadian politician who served as the 53rd mayor of Toronto from 1955 to 1962. A lawyer by training, Phillips was first elected to Toronto City Council in 1926. He is the city's first Jewish mayor, Under Phillips's direction, the City of Toronto pursued an aggressive agenda of demolishing heritage structures throughout the city in order to 'modernize.' Large blocks of downtown were purchased and razed and many landmark buildings and neighbourhoods were destroyed
thanks for the glorious pictures, love old ones, liked the policemen in some of the pictures wearing London Bobby hats and the old Coka Cola sign in the early days, hasnt changed.
@ 16:09 ... I noticed that the driveway of the super nice castle is mud..... and the whole yard looks terrible the building has some strange steps or patch work under the window behind the women in the photo also...
Jared these are great!!! 11:34 has a building that most of Kankakee Illinois' oldest buildings look like! "Churches, post offices and some what my father calls Cat Houses!"
The picture at 19.15 is The Toronto Lunatic Asylum. Received its first patients in 1850. Population then (in Toronto) was about 30.000 people. Why such a huge building? Did they expect so many people become "insane"?
I think in those days the word retard had a very basic meaning. Anyone with mild autism or speech problems would be tossed in. Easier and cheaper that way. I'm a middle aged man remember school had special ed. In those days it was the asylum. Are autism cases way up or were they just misdiagnosed in the past?
hard to believe that this vast massive stone and multi-storied city in 1904 housed a population of 30,000 in 1850, 50 years earlier since the great fire. The city and its architectural style I see with my eyes feels like it was home for millions and existed much before 1850.
Time stamp 3:23 -> notice the wooden power line pole, completely intact and not burned, meanwhile the entire city was supposed to be engulfed in a firestorm!! Seems more like those buildings were demolished by explosives, rather than fire. Theres No way that those wooden poles would be left standing. There are other pictures with wooden power and telegraph poles standing as well. Sounds like the official narrative is absolutely false.
@@desperatelyseekingrealnews A tree with a deep root system, filled with water and living cells is hardly comparable to a pole of dried treated lumber placed in a hole...
Nice job man, I've had my suspicions about Toronto myself having lived there. There are still some amazing buildings in Toronto including the CNE gates, Masonic Temple, my ancestor's painting is supposed to be in there somewhere. Don Jail, a huge missionary at st. Clair and kingston rd. South close to the scarborough bluffs. I use to sneak onto the property with my friends when we were only around 8 years old or so. I remember a huge green copper dome. Then there's some big highschool close on the north side of Kingston rd. Which I forget the name of. Always heard of some subterranean tunnel under Toronto as well.
Perhaps some of the photos are much older than we are told. Regardless, the great city fires of this time period don't make any sense for many reasons.
Jarid, you should look at Baltimore fats channels work. It explains some things and then,yours answer some of his, lol. Love it homie, you are one of top three alt history steady creator channels! Very well made and informed stuff I miss. So, that thanks man. 👍😊
Idk if anyone out there still reads 🤣 but if you do and you're into this stuff check out City of The Century By Donald L. Miller. 👌 imo it's worth your time. The very first 2 pages are very telling.... some people were privy to the fire coming in chicago..
Brick buildings back then had wood frames. Today we mostly use steel studs and fiberglass/gypsum sheathing. And we have better response time to fires. I remember when Chelsea Massachusetts burned when i was a kid. It burned in 1908 and 1973.
Great stuff. Vancouver also has a tower but they put a building around it Ithink. Also Vancouver Art Gallery, Marine Building and Hotel MacDonald to name a few. Not bad for a bunch of cowboys
The fire took out all the beautiful buildings we had in this city and reduced them to rubble. And then Torontonians replaced all the rubble with rubbish. If I was King of Canada, I would rebuild a portion of the old town, make it look like it did before the fire. The Europeans did it after WW2. They rebuilt their cities and made sure to replicate all the beautiful old facades. Why can't we?
There's a reason why they add a thousand years to our timeline so they're all ahead of us technology wise etc in that time of photography they had the ability to manipulate the photography when they're ahead you're behind
Hello, can you point me to a site or video that explains the missing thousand years more in depth, i have came to similar conclusions of either 700-1000 years or so is missing.
Look at the Casa Loma Hotel. They throw on a s***** ass cheap sign on a giant beautiful castle, like they want us to believe they actually build it and didn't Discover it
Hey a very interesting video! Just wanted to know really knows who built Americans mounds. Even some Indian tribes claim that the mounds were already there. If you take a deep dive into the Mound builders of North America. The mathematics involves are astounding. The indigenous tribes did not hold the mathematical skills to acomplish some of the bigger impressive mounds. So it's really still a mystery. Cahokia mounds use similar mathematics to Egypts pyramids. It's fascinating! Well take care and keep up the goods pics. It's so hard to get information on some of these topics. Joe
@@mikeheaton8424 exactly mike they were different than the native Americans. Some tribes even say that the mounds were already here. I'm not saying that some Indians might of buried there family members on top of the original burials. Basically we've been f$#@%ing lied too by these scientific jokes walking around stealing all the giant bones. An stealing our history with it. Who the hall gives them the right to do that. Man it gets me fired up,sorry. But your statement is totally true! Take care Mike! Joe
I enjoy your video subjects. I wish it didn’t sound as though you were reading a script though. The cadence can make it very hard to stay focused. Probably just me.
Tragic. Also sad that post WWII, Toronto leaders allowed the destruction of so many beautiful buildings to make way for what looks like Legoland. They even wanted to tear down old City Hall and leave only its clock tower. At least that and a few other gems were saved. Not many though.
Tons of old world architechture including a giant arch at the Bathurst entrance to the CNE grounds, where almost all the exhibition halls are ancient buildings and there is even a Coliseum with Latin looking lettering on it that's very old.
Hi, intriguing data to process. If the trams were on street level and the buildings appear to be stuck in the mud then those tram lines were over head like in Philadelphia today. Where did all of the mud come flooding from?. Perhaps a combination of unusual weather conditions and massive amounts of dust (red) fell from space??? Planet x system??
yeah, the consistent mispronunciation was really hard to listen too. i live in Toron’o too. my ancestors were the original united empire loyalists who kept their allegiance to the King during the American Revolution.
@@KyleTO7 I have lived in Toronto for 53 years.. it is how it is spelt and to everybody I've known and encountered... if you want to use lazy-slang that is your choice.
No one ever talks about these fires! I am blown away by these images! I lived there several years ago and there are so few old structures left. It's so tragic! It looked so much like Montreal before the 'disaster' happened. This looks more like the London Blitz than a mere fire! How did fire do this??? How the hell did ONE person die in a fire this terrible???? And in the middle of the night? Once again the narrative makes zero sense to my cynical brain!! I don't buy it at all! And this happened in Montreal in 1852, twice in the same summer!!! I did a video on it and I had no idea it ever happened! And if you look at North American cities, you will find that this kind of large scale disaster has happened in pretty much all of them in this time frame. I found it interesting that in the big fire of San Fran, they spoke of using dynamite to try and stop the fires.... dynamite makes much more sense than a mere fire and wreaks of a more nefarious intention. Sadly I know how devastating fire can be personally more than once but looking at these pictures I am seeing Dresden, Germany or Hiroshima during WWII. I'm sure you've seen all the empty city pictures of Europe? They are eerie and mysterious! Huge cities with no people in this era. Maybe Toronto was evacuated prior to the fire for some odd reason? I can't rationalize how thousands weren't killed. But this was a reset and we are supposed to just accept the story and keep our mouths shut!! haha Resets seem to include massive amounts of death from what I've noticed and history can easily be rewritten. There aren't any survivors to tell us what really happened. If you take the horrific and very suspicious fire of Lahaina, Maui last year, this was modern times and many people perished. I believe far more than we've been told, so can you imagine in 1904??? The death toll in the massive Montreal fires had very low numbers as well, I don't remember exactly but it stuck out to me as odd. Thank God Casa Loma was spared! I've been there and it's just gorgeous! I never understood the CN Tower, I'm prefer the gorgeous Old World structures personally and I had vertigo and nearly passed out when I was up there! haha Thank you once again for an amazing eye-opening video! You just came up in my suggestions as I sit here nursing a stupid respiratory bug, so these videos are a perfect distraction! Much love from the sunny, tropical Island of Montreal!
Scary thought what exactly happened to the people that built these structures , where did they go? Where did the orphans come from and how many were used to repopulate the world? How long did it take for them to dig out after the mud event? years, months, days? Were there multiple mud events? Who on earth hates us and our creator this much? seams like an insane amount of planning and preparing amoung other things just for control. is this place really an adrenaline farm? are we stuck in some kind of re-incarnation loop?
WHAT ALWAYS STRUCK ME IS THAT, THE CITY OF BUFFALO, PUT FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT AND FIRFIGHTERS ON FLATCARS AND HAULED THEM TO TORONTO FROM BUFFALO. THANK U, WHAT I CALL NOW, BARFALO, N Y. GO BILLS !!!!!!!!!! + THE SABRES. THX SO MUCH.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Souls are trapped in building dimensions so you have to burn the buildings to release the souls into the machines in which they've aligned their frequencies to
The same 45 degree angle cut on the structures they had something I don't believe they have the same power to do now what they done in the past? the atmosphere was much different probably. But then again look at Paradise California. No question in my mind that earthquake and fire did not destroy Frisco 1906
3:27 "Burnt out" buildings with wooden telephone (telegraph?) poles and water towers untouched. Hmmmm. They could have been erected right after the fire, but it makes one wonder.
It looks more like a bomb site, and how come the stone buildings burned but not the wooden electricity poles in the street, if the flames were jumping . Also where are all the scotch marks from billowing smoke out of Windows and the white walls, so many questions
I love his theme song music.... It heals me Everytime..... It's always what I need to hear...no matter what mood I'm in .... It heals me Everytime .....
It's weird .... Cuz the old word buildings...while beautiful ...don't actually seem too complex most the time ... I'd say the brick ones are more impressive than the cement blocks ones looking like stone
Amazing how this looks identical to Richmond after the Union supposedly leveled in in 1864 with small artillery pieces. What device had the power to reduce these stone and brick buildings to ruble. Fire? Really?
Fire doesn't do that to brick and stone buildings sorry!!! I'd say what destroyed that beautiful city was more akin to a bomb or directed energy device
Another city with loads of Old World architecture being destroyed by fire. I can hardly mention a major city anymore that didn't have a huge fire around 100+ years ago. I'm starting to see a pattern...!

Keep up the apocalyptic research Jarid, much appreciated.
Metaphysical forces with a craving for money? Hardly...
@@ramzahnY no, the money grabbers are the water carriers. They are controlled by metaphysical forces, who use them with the lure of wealth to carry out the nefarious plan.
Since I recently stumbled on your channel, I've had a fascinating journey through your photos and narratives. But the more I watch, I'm starting to realize you're one of my absolute most favorite story tellers ever. It doesn't sound like you're reading from a script. Yet you're not absent minded, and I don't ever hear you say "um," "um,' "er." You are enjoyable to listen to. It's so pleasant to hear someone talk about absolutely anything, with passion and personal infliction. Such a break away from the RUclips "boiler plate list videos" Please never stop what you do. 🥰
I worked in downtown Toronto doing construction for 28 years before downtown traffic became to much. Staring at the gardiner and not being able to get to it for an hour was to much. It was great to be a part of building such a good looking city. I was lucky enough to work on many heritage buildings and also monuments up university Avenue and queens park. I went back downtown 3 years ago and the transformation was incredible in nearly the 7 years i was gone from there i barely recognized the place. I still marvel at where the engineers and architects found room for some of the massive builds that were done without removing the old architecture. Amazing
I went to Casa Loma about 4 years ago before I knew of the Tartarian idea and I remember thinking it looked like an old old fort and after hearing the presentation on it's "true" timeline I thought it was absolutely bull... should have listened to my inner knowing then
A few years ago I would just randomly pick a city and google it with the word fire. I was flabbergasted. Even smaller cities. It was a very interesting time spent.
I have done the same and could not believe all the fires! We all heard about the great fire of Chicago but every single city suffered the same fate in that time frame and no one talks about it as if it's some big secret!! I don't understand! Even the city I'm from, Montreal had two huge fires in 1852 that took a lot of the city in the East end but it was a big secret as well! Crazy!
What I find amazing is , what are those poles made of, they seem to have not been affected from fire. Obviously not wood. Or the greatest application of flame retarder ever known
Or the so called fire was not a fire but a Lazer or plasma that was aimed at certain buildings to remove them from the narrative
100% absolutely!!!!
Twin towers situation. Cloaked UFO.
The buildings were not wood either. Looks like laser bombs hit just like all the other suspicious big city so called fires around the same time. Hmmmm...
They are treated in bitumen and petroleum, them poles should burn like matches...San Fran, Toronto, Dresden, Hiroshima...all look the same, trees and wooden fences all seemed to be intact.
I remember being told, that all our highways are old native trails... certain hwys have alot of accidents. A friend sent me a random vid on ley lines, just because, but it got me thinking... what towns an hwys r on these currents an could it cause accidents. Then ur vid shows up in my algorithm which has only added more questions that I need to search for lol❤
I really wish somebody would be together a video showing all these major cities worldwide in the late 1800s and early 1900s with the same exact destruction and a lot of the same stories. The cities were brick and granite yet they look like they were put through a blender.
Pictures of the south in the Civil War of America and the Paris commune resemble exactly what we see in all these other citie
have you considered making this video for us? It is a very good concept to show just how similar the damage is.
You know I can't imagine how hard those fire fighters would have had to work to ensure the fire wasn't extinguished for lack of fuel alone. I've got rocks around the perimeter of my fire pit and they've never once caught fire, no matter how much wood I though in the pit. These "great" fires of the early 20th century are amazing to me. They almost seem like a litmus test for stupid as a precurser to the space race that follow a few decades later. Every county seat in Texas burned to the ground in a great fire of 1920 something or another. Simply amazing!
One would almost be left to believe the fire fighters back in the day were there to start, spread and keep the fires burning rather them put them out. It's like a society with a legal system that's sole purpose is to deny justice or a medical industry that's famous for spreading death and disease. Who could ever imagine such an ass backwards society of people? Here's your sign...
Where in any of the pictures are examples of stones burning?
Many witnesses in Chicago and Boston state that's exactly what was going on! I believe it! They came back and said that they had to dynamite the buildings to "stop the spread" ... 👌🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️
the problem was that the buildings were entirely built of wood on the inside. they hadn’t yet developed systems of construction that slow down and inhibit fire. so fires would quickly spread, not only throughout the building but also from one building to the next.
add to that the fact that fire fighting equipment was still primitive, the buildings had no sprinkler systems as they had not yet been invented….
@@derekbirch1410 I am aware of what they told is in school. I am telling you that I don't buy it for a minute. The aftermath demonstrates a different story entirely. Nothing they are saying makes any sense at all. These places look like they were carpet bombed. See San Fransico and Chicago... A wood fire is not going to destory any masonry structure. Sure the wood may burn, but the walls are not going to crumble into pieces. Something else was going on here. Further, when you look into the number of old world structures that burned in the 1920's alone, it's staggering. This was not a coincidence, no way! Our history has been destroyed and it looks like we're gonna follow.
@@derekbirch1410 good boy. Repeating main stream HIS story really doesnt do it for me. Actual research shows more was going on then what we were told in indoctrination camp.
That is extensive! I had no idea this happened. Thank you for covering this lesser known piece of history.
I was in carpentry/tile setting/construction for about 18yrs. Scaffolding is used all throughout construction of residential as well as commercial spaces. Scaffolding Does Not mean new construction, it can, but it is not a fact. Scaffolding is used for demo as well, refab, reno, etc. Soo many of these old photos of old world show scaffolding and probably come with stories that the construction is new and current for the picture's time. Any person with eyes to see could assume so many of these stories false as just glancing at the building itself would sway you into thinking the stained and darkened masonry had been in place for 10s if not hundreds of years! I think only under the direction of the controllers did "we" ever even mod these old structures let alone completely build them : )
Thank you so much for your professional opinion! I agree 100%!
I live in this city. Most of the “old world” buildings you showed in the first video are still here today. Old City hall, Ontario legislature, University of Toronto Trinity college and many churches. I recognize many others from pre-fire Toronto. It really only destroyed the downtown
In general almost every major city had a similar situation happen that destroyed the older buildings.most cities are said to be fully built out within a very short time frame.there is just way to many inconsistencies with the timeline and narrative.for example salt lake city was built by 1500 Mormon settlers within like 30 years and they have some very nice buildings but I'm sure you know this jarid
Check out Ryan Zehm on Tartarian cities (Chicago) its kinda proof that a culture was here before Columbus and they burnt it down to hide it....
Not a single tree over 10 yrs old. Everyone except the lady playing golf was wearing a head covering. EMF protection, or a mind control device for the foundlings? Greyed out skies. Good grief charlie Brown. Thank you for the great presentation. Aloha
Pollution, sun shade , etc. but Masonic town for sure
Your head covering is a tin foil hat!😅
I also keep a potato in my pocket in case my bricks catch fire I can have a meal.
Something questionable on 5:21 the sunlight soap add on the side of the building . The fire looks hella fake like painted on. But the building across from it looks like a photo.
The Great Fire of Toronto of 1849, April 7, 1849, also known as the Cathedral Fire, was the first major fire in the history of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Much of the Market Block, the business core of the city, was wiped out, including the predecessor of the current St. James Cathedral. The 1831 building of the Toronto City Hall and St. Lawrence Market south of King was damaged and was torn down.
Setting fire to old buildings is a tradition in toronto. This city is notorious for burning down and destroying it's architectural history. I had a conversation with an architect who had lamented at the loss of culture in the city.
Nathan Phillips QC (November 7, 1892 - January 7, 1976) was a Canadian politician who served as the 53rd mayor of Toronto from 1955 to 1962. A lawyer by training, Phillips was first elected to Toronto City Council in 1926. He is the city's first Jewish mayor,
Under Phillips's direction, the City of Toronto pursued an aggressive agenda of demolishing heritage structures throughout the city in order to 'modernize.' Large blocks of downtown were purchased and razed and many landmark buildings and neighbourhoods were destroyed
totally enjoyed this, nice work
Beautiful old world. Every time I see it I get sort of homesick. 😥
Thank you for all your hard work, it's to our benefit!
Just a theory, what if these fires were the first use of DEW?
thanks for the glorious pictures, love old ones, liked the policemen in some of the pictures wearing London Bobby hats and the old Coka Cola sign in the early days, hasnt changed.
@ 16:09 ... I noticed that the driveway of the super nice castle is mud..... and the whole yard looks terrible the building has some strange steps or patch work under the window behind the women in the photo also...
Jared these are great!!! 11:34 has a building that most of Kankakee Illinois' oldest buildings look like! "Churches, post offices and some what my father calls Cat Houses!"
Excellent work!!
The picture at 19.15 is The Toronto Lunatic Asylum. Received its first patients in 1850. Population then (in Toronto) was about 30.000 people. Why such a huge building? Did they expect so many people become "insane"?
I think in those days the word retard had a very basic meaning. Anyone with mild autism or speech problems would be tossed in. Easier and cheaper that way. I'm a middle aged man remember school had special ed. In those days it was the asylum. Are autism cases way up or were they just misdiagnosed in the past?
Truth seekers were kept there
18:45 "clock towers" with no clocks! They morphed into "clock towers" as a cover story. The vents slots were always there. Clue!
Great video 👍👍👍🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
hard to believe that this vast massive stone and multi-storied city in 1904 housed a population of 30,000 in 1850, 50 years earlier since the great fire. The city and its architectural style I see with my eyes feels like it was home for millions and existed much before 1850.
Time stamp 3:23 -> notice the wooden power line pole, completely intact and not burned, meanwhile the entire city was supposed to be engulfed in a firestorm!! Seems more like those buildings were demolished by explosives, rather than fire. Theres No way that those wooden poles would be left standing. There are other pictures with wooden power and telegraph poles standing as well. Sounds like the official narrative is absolutely false.
Yeah right of course poles shouldnt be standing after all everybody knows that in forest fires all the trees fall down innit?
@@desperatelyseekingrealnews A tree with a deep root system, filled with water and living cells is hardly comparable to a pole of dried treated lumber placed in a hole...
Stop your silly conspiracy nonsense! People would have heard explosions if the city was being blown up!
Nice job man, I've had my suspicions about Toronto myself having lived there. There are still some amazing buildings in Toronto including the CNE gates, Masonic Temple, my ancestor's painting is supposed to be in there somewhere. Don Jail, a huge missionary at st. Clair and kingston rd. South close to the scarborough bluffs. I use to sneak onto the property with my friends when we were only around 8 years old or so. I remember a huge green copper dome.
Then there's some big highschool close on the north side of Kingston rd. Which I forget the name of. Always heard of some subterranean tunnel under Toronto as well.
UofT has some stunning old world buildings and down University Ave too the old City Hall
There's 2 high schools along Kingston rd., Birchmount collegiate and R.H. King collegiate where my father was a teacher.
sweet stack of photos!! never seen toronto quite like this 🙂 thanks jarid
Perhaps some of the photos are much older than we are told. Regardless, the great city fires of this time period don't make any sense for many reasons.
Jarid, you should look at Baltimore fats channels work. It explains some things and then,yours answer some of his, lol. Love it homie, you are one of top three alt history steady creator channels! Very well made and informed stuff I miss. So, that thanks man. 👍😊
Baltimore fats is a hidden treasure. Peace
Great research my friend
Idk if anyone out there still reads 🤣 but if you do and you're into this stuff check out City of The Century By Donald L. Miller. 👌 imo it's worth your time. The very first 2 pages are very telling.... some people were privy to the fire coming in chicago..
Brick buildings back then had wood frames. Today we mostly use steel studs and fiberglass/gypsum sheathing. And we have better response time to fires.
I remember when Chelsea Massachusetts burned when i was a kid. It burned in 1908 and 1973.
18:59 Is a photo of someone inside a lower part of the facility at Niagara Falls.
It is still there today.
Great stuff. Vancouver also has a tower but they put a building around it Ithink. Also Vancouver Art Gallery, Marine Building and Hotel MacDonald to name a few. Not bad for a bunch of cowboys
You can take photos of these fires and put them next to photos of Hiroshima and there is no difference. These were the equivalent of a time bomb.
“All Gone”!!!
Holy cow!!
Such a beautiful city was lost.Fire insurance companies became very popular after this.
Great video !!!❤️
The fire took out all the beautiful buildings we had in this city and reduced them to rubble. And then Torontonians replaced all the rubble with rubbish. If I was King of Canada, I would rebuild a portion of the old town, make it look like it did before the fire. The Europeans did it after WW2. They rebuilt their cities and made sure to replicate all the beautiful old facades. Why can't we?
There's a reason why they add a thousand years to our timeline so they're all ahead of us technology wise etc in that time of photography they had the ability to manipulate the photography when they're ahead you're behind
Hello, can you point me to a site or video that explains the missing thousand years more in depth, i have came to similar conclusions of either 700-1000 years or so is missing.
Look closely, in a couple of these photos you can see the Eglinton LRT under construction
Look at the Casa Loma Hotel. They throw on a s***** ass cheap sign on a giant beautiful castle, like they want us to believe they actually build it and didn't Discover it
Hey a very interesting video! Just wanted to know really knows who built Americans mounds. Even some Indian tribes claim that the mounds were already there. If you take a deep dive into the Mound builders of North America. The mathematics involves are astounding. The indigenous tribes did not hold the mathematical skills to acomplish some of the bigger impressive mounds. So it's really still a mystery. Cahokia mounds use similar mathematics to Egypts pyramids. It's fascinating! Well take care and keep up the goods pics. It's so hard to get information on some of these topics. Joe
I’ve seen videos of mound builders skeletons . They were of huge height 7 to 9 feet with double teeth ! Mysterious world
@@mikeheaton8424 exactly mike they were different than the native Americans. Some tribes even say that the mounds were already here. I'm not saying that some Indians might of buried there family members on top of the original burials. Basically we've been f$#@%ing lied too by these scientific jokes walking around stealing all the giant bones. An stealing our history with it. Who the hall gives them the right to do that. Man it gets me fired up,sorry. But your statement is totally true! Take care Mike! Joe
looks like a movie stage sort of
I enjoy your video subjects. I wish it didn’t sound as though you were reading a script though. The cadence can make it very hard to stay focused. Probably just me.
2x speed haha
Tragic. Also sad that post WWII, Toronto leaders allowed the destruction of so many beautiful buildings to make way for what looks like Legoland. They even wanted to tear down old City Hall and leave only its clock tower. At least that and a few other gems were saved. Not many though.
same tec in todays fires in Northen Cali. brick gone. molten aluminium rivers from car rimes. 911 trade centers turnd to DUST
Thanks for the map. 3x3 sq. blocks ramshackle of industrial warehousing.Wholesale storage of dry goods,woolens ,paper, stationery,shirts, hats furs millinery, furniture.Some fire.
GREAT. Thats an important Word. Great Reset. They Love it. Thanks
I wonder where all the old bricks and stones went to
The picture with the Manufactory sign looks like it has something in the sky.
At 11:57
Old world gravy
Toronto used to be called the 'muddy city' 👈🏼🎯💯
@ 02:18 I'm out here homie 🤝🏼. Great research!!
@ 03:00 "building blocks" ... aka legoliths?
@ 03:20 ...instead of a 'fire' .. maybe it was hydraulic monitors?
@ 05:58 looks like the Buffalo city hall
Tons of old world architechture including a giant arch at the Bathurst entrance to the CNE grounds, where almost all the exhibition halls are ancient buildings and there is even a Coliseum with Latin looking lettering on it that's very old.
Sometimes to create, one must first destroy...
Hi, intriguing data to process. If the trams were on street level and the buildings appear to be stuck in the mud then those tram lines were over head like in Philadelphia today. Where did all of the mud come flooding from?. Perhaps a combination of unusual weather conditions and massive amounts of dust (red) fell from space??? Planet x system??
At first I thought that I was watching an episode of Murdoch Mysteries.
At 11:20 as your asking for comments the group photo appears and they all seem like cardboard cut-outs or pasted on images
“Old World” is constantly trying to be erased.There are those who have a lot to hide.
Hehe it's pronounced as Torono. Awesome video tho man, greatly appreciate it :). It's my city.
Turronno, first "o" is a "u".
@@scottmceachern8345 sorry that's to difficult for most people. There just gonna forget that.
It's easier to tell them to drop the last t.
No one's going to remember to add all those n's and switch those u's and O's.
Yours sounds more accurate tho.
yeah, the consistent mispronunciation was really hard to listen too. i live in Toron’o too. my ancestors were the original united empire loyalists who kept their allegiance to the King during the American Revolution.
@@KyleTO7 I have lived in Toronto for 53 years.. it is how it is spelt and to everybody I've known and encountered... if you want to use lazy-slang that is your choice.
no one died in this blaze. Quite a miracle.
Provoked fires to destroy the legacy of Tartaria
11:11 picture, the building is so much like our Minneapolis Courthouse...I just wonder if it was built before Noah's flood...
Why did they have all these old 1900 fires looks like a war.
7:00 looks a lot like the Sunlife building in Montreal. I hope you'll dive in this city too one day.
This Building was at once the largest in the British Empire.
Just look at some of these chairs in the photos.... does anyone know someone who can make such handmade chairs nowadays???
No one ever talks about these fires! I am blown away by these images! I lived there several years ago and there are so few old structures left. It's so tragic! It looked so much like Montreal before the 'disaster' happened. This looks more like the London Blitz than a mere fire! How did fire do this??? How the hell did ONE person die in a fire this terrible???? And in the middle of the night? Once again the narrative makes zero sense to my cynical brain!! I don't buy it at all!
And this happened in Montreal in 1852, twice in the same summer!!! I did a video on it and I had no idea it ever happened! And if you look at North American cities, you will find that this kind of large scale disaster has happened in pretty much all of them in this time frame. I found it interesting that in the big fire of San Fran, they spoke of using dynamite to try and stop the fires.... dynamite makes much more sense than a mere fire and wreaks of a more nefarious intention. Sadly I know how devastating fire can be personally more than once but looking at these pictures I am seeing Dresden, Germany or Hiroshima during WWII. I'm sure you've seen all the empty city pictures of Europe? They are eerie and mysterious! Huge cities with no people in this era. Maybe Toronto was evacuated prior to the fire for some odd reason? I can't rationalize how thousands weren't killed. But this was a reset and we are supposed to just accept the story and keep our mouths shut!! haha Resets seem to include massive amounts of death from what I've noticed and history can easily be rewritten. There aren't any survivors to tell us what really happened.
If you take the horrific and very suspicious fire of Lahaina, Maui last year, this was modern times and many people perished. I believe far more than we've been told, so can you imagine in 1904??? The death toll in the massive Montreal fires had very low numbers as well, I don't remember exactly but it stuck out to me as odd.
Thank God Casa Loma was spared! I've been there and it's just gorgeous! I never understood the CN Tower, I'm prefer the gorgeous Old World structures personally and I had vertigo and nearly passed out when I was up there! haha
Thank you once again for an amazing eye-opening video! You just came up in my suggestions as I sit here nursing a stupid respiratory bug, so these videos are a perfect distraction!
Much love from the sunny, tropical Island of Montreal!
4/19 1904 huh? Nice mirroring of the numbers
Scary thought what exactly happened to the people that built these structures , where did they go? Where did the orphans come from and how many were used to repopulate the world? How long did it take for them to dig out after the mud event? years, months, days? Were there multiple mud events? Who on earth hates us and our creator this much? seams like an insane amount of planning and preparing amoung other things just for control. is this place really an adrenaline farm? are we stuck in some kind of re-incarnation loop?
11:59 the building says MANUFACTORY
Can I purchase old photos from you, thanks Liz
Bombed by airships
WHAT ALWAYS STRUCK ME IS THAT, THE CITY OF BUFFALO, PUT FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT AND FIRFIGHTERS ON FLATCARS AND HAULED THEM TO TORONTO FROM BUFFALO. THANK U, WHAT I CALL NOW, BARFALO, N Y. GO BILLS !!!!!!!!!! + THE SABRES. THX SO MUCH.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Souls are trapped in building dimensions so you have to burn the buildings to release the souls into the machines in which they've aligned their frequencies to
That's deep
What gets me....ppl still believe !
The same 45 degree angle cut on the structures they had something I don't believe they have the same power to do now what they done in the past? the atmosphere was much different probably. But then again look at Paradise California. No question in my mind that earthquake and fire did not destroy Frisco 1906
Directed energy weapons, not sci fi and not new technology.
In fact tesla wrote about directed energy weapons just around the time all these events took place.
No persons were killed because there didn't live anybody in those buildings. The buildings were empty 😏
3:27 "Burnt out" buildings with wooden telephone (telegraph?) poles and water towers untouched. Hmmmm. They could have been erected right after the fire, but it makes one wonder.
Paper burns at 451°
Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" may not have been future dystopian fiction but rather historical fact.
thanks for sharing but you should really cite more of your sources, for example when talking about how many people died.
FFS, if nobody died in those buildings, then they were empty when it happened!
It looks more like a bomb site, and how come the stone buildings burned but not the wooden electricity poles in the street, if the flames were jumping . Also where are all the scotch marks from billowing smoke out of Windows and the white walls, so many questions
7:30 &9:20. More on the British Empire. Rarely see that. Seems building pre moodflood.
No one lost their life in the fire surprisingly enough👍
That one guy that went back in died.
I love his theme song music.... It heals me Everytime..... It's always what I need to hear...no matter what mood I'm in .... It heals me Everytime .....
In the entertainment business it usually fronts for every other city.
It's weird .... Cuz the old word buildings...while beautiful ...don't actually seem too complex most the time ... I'd say the brick ones are more impressive than the cement blocks ones looking like stone
Amazing how this looks identical to Richmond after the Union supposedly leveled in in 1864 with small artillery pieces. What device had the power to reduce these stone and brick buildings to ruble. Fire? Really?
It looks like the Paradise fires in California. 🤔🧐
Fire doesn't do that to brick and stone buildings sorry!!! I'd say what destroyed that beautiful city was more akin to a bomb or directed energy device
It was aliens!😮
