One of your comments really hit home."She has no one to discuss it with." For the most part, even if I try to discuss my discoveries in these matters with ANYONE, they will likely just look at me like a deer in the headlights, as you have said.
Honestly, from my experience and the commenter to your comment, you keep it to yourself if you want to survive in this construct. Consider your part of a 1%er club who digs for truth and can handle what they find.
@@ASheepNoMore Oh so True! And to respond to the rest of your comment: The 1%Club often also understand the Construct extends to everything around us now.
I worked as a firefighter in Petaluma, California for thirty years and the historic downtown was iron front buildings along the river that flowed into the san Francisco Bay! The buildings all have basements below street level! I wish I had known what I know now when I worked there! Thanks again Jon for your insight into our past!
I live in Portland and it's so sad to know this was once an olde world marvel. You can feel it in the streets. The echos of a rich and splendid culture whispering through the stupid, boxy, utilitarian modern architecture that has no soul or beauty about it. There is an old Presbyterian church downtown that was built in 1892 (supposedly) that still stands but the city as a whole has been thoroughly sterilized. You might also want to take a Google earth stroll down I 84 and examine the spectacular cliffs and rock outcroppings of the Columbia River Gorge. I'll never look at them the same since this research opened my eyes. I keep vacillating between seeing them as the melted castles of giants or the mythical, colossal trees of yore. Whatever they are, it's truly a sight to behold them and the energy of it is palpable. They run from just outside of Portland about 120 miles east along the river. And there are many more in Washington too. There's also a full size replica of Stonehenge at Hwy 14 and 97 on the Northside of the Columbia River. It's a war monument... because, of course, nothing commemorates a war like a good Stonehenge replica in the middle of Nowhere, Washington 😂 Keep up the good work Jon! And thanks for opening our eyes to the Mystery ✨️
@@mantissmith5212 I'm a truck driver and my dedicated lane is Portland to Bozeman, Montana. Every time I get to that sweet spot on I84 it's like I'm driving into the heart of a timeless, high fantasy novel! 🚛✨️✨️✨️
Yes, Seattle has been changed drastically from it’s past. You can see a few parts of the olde world in the train station, the old Smith Tower Building, the brick streets at Pike Place Market and some of the old iron work in Pioneer Square as well as the large brick patio there. It must have been glorious at one time, but now it’s a dismal, sad place IMHO.😢
Its like Cair Paravel in Narnia. The grand ol' castle which became a ruin under the White Witch's reign. It seems pretty obvious that she's ruling over us now.
So that whole "fire" thing happened in every major city roughly around the same time...and right after that, lots more people moved there...and also the first floor of every building was covered up and became the underground. Tartaria. It's hard to ignore.
That’s one point that got me believing. I live in Seattle and the same story. Also on.the underground tour up here they say the underground was rediscovered in the 40’s by accident. How was it forgotten?
I did a report on it years ago. Every city in the world burned within 10 yrs worldwide. They ushered in fire codes and "regulations" and insurance and earthquake research.. or rather held the gates of earthquake research. It's about information and "$$$$$$ insurance and loans on buildings. If you have a city that's already built what good is it to the bank especially if it's a really well-built City
I love the comments on this channel. This is a mature, thoughtful group. People know so much that is interesting and relates to whatever the video is about. I love going through all the comments. There are so many comments its difficult to get to all of them.....but its worth it.
💯 agreed!! Maybe one day enough of us will know enough of the pieces of the puzzle to be able to link them all together. We should all start to look around us. See what wonders may still be hidden right in front of our faces, and beneath our feet. We got this!!
Jon this happened to me today! (2 minutes in, on letting go) Vaguely: I went to meet someone with one set of expectations, and what I expected did not happen; instead, an even more wondrous thing did! Thank you so much for being a part of my journey. I love you.

I have a buddy who has been in the union brick, and block laying business in Cleveland Ohio since 1989. Building some of the biggest project Cleveland has seen in our lifetime, such as skyscrapers, football stadiums, baseball and basketball facilities as well as high schools and many other projects. Jim my buddy is a heavy drinker and has no clue of ANYTHING that you or we have investigated and tried to figure out. I simply asked him, hey Jim you know everything it takes to put a building together, the millions of blocks, and bricks, steel, and everything else... and what it takes to get the materials ordered and delivered to a jobsite in modern times. So how was it possible to do all of this back in the days when there was zero infrastructure, very low populations, and horse and buggy. How was all of this possible??? He looked and me with a beer in his hand and thought about this probable for the first time in his life and all he could say was.... Slaves .... Disappointed with his answer I asked him to think about this and talk to some of his older co-workers and I will expect a full detailed report the next time we speak...
Hi I asked my ex husband how he thought it was possible to demolish Paris and rebuild it a whole city water mains sewers roads etc in a couple of years , with horses and carts he said they were more determined and worked hard , I said the population was small and he said they must have imported workers , I asked who trained these ILL educated peasants , he didn’t know but co7ld not see how utterly impossible it all was
Starting my Sunday with your videos is a must, opens the mind, the narrative voice soothes the soul. The topic is a great breakaway from the mainstream political and non sensical topics of the day. Love your work sir.
I believe we have begun to discover who we really are and much of that is thanks to you Jon. Thank you for sticking with us. ONWARD TO TERRA DEL VISTA.
Does anyone else think it's odd that the government decides to demolish a city full of privately owned buildings? Looks long since abandoned to me too. With piles of debris that look long abandoned against the buildings that look long abandoned.
I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life. Portland for a minute or two. I’ve never heard of this! Wow! And seriously? Cast iron? The expense to make these buildings only to demolish it? I also see a difference in the btm layer-ground floor and the second. Like a different architecture. I’ve come to understand that places like these are either demolished by “accidental” fire, or like wrecking ball. Like the library of Alexandria. Or they are claimed by some nobody company’s architecture that was built with a quickness that would be impossible. Like start to finish 2 years for an absolutely huge building. They generally have ties to Freemasons. And they all have the same look and more importantly, the same feel. But it’s only been a building or two here and there. Not an entire area like this! There’s always something odd about the how they were destroyed and the stories are really quite similar. I believe they were trying to hide stuff like this. The reason I can only speculate about right now but it’s coming together. And another coincidence is they are all talked about around the same years. I know the government controls people through information. I’d really love to know this huge secret and why something so beautiful and strong had to be destroyed. No profit if it stays standing for hundreds of years. I know that. But there’s more to this story for sure! Thank you for sharing this bit. Definitely putting it in the timeline book! 🤔
I live in Vancouver Washington just 10 minutes from downtown Portland. It's sad to see how beautiful and solidly built it was only to be destroyed and replaced by train yards and dock space. The Lewis and Clark exposition wonderland area became waterfront empty lots for loading and unloading ships to trains and chemical / fuel storage tanks and trucking company lots. The picture of The Montgomery Park building from around 1933 shows the building way in the background and what looks like a minefield all in the foreground of dirt piles holes and rubble with one big old world brick and stone mansion left off to the right side. It looks like maybe there was an entire neighborhood of Tartarian homes and they bombed all but one. There is a huge underground level in the Montgomery Park building also said to connect to the tunnels that go to downtown and under the Willamette river.
Thank you for sharing your perspective and adding to the info behind these photos. Much obliged. 🤝 It's saddens me deeply to see that we've only declined since then. So much for us modern humans being the pinnacle of civilization. Upwards and onwards my you-know-what! Anyway thanks again. Respect
Sure seems like there was a booming civilization here about 500-1000 years before these photos were taken. Wouldn't it be fun to pop back into history and see what was really here when the Oregon Trail travelers arrived?? They have done an excellent job erasing history and giving mind-numbing lessons in school to prevent natural curiosity from taking root. So glad I had the opportunity to home educate my kids. A real blessing. Bonus: One of my kids turned me on to you, Jon!!
While it’s interesting to theorize, I grew up in the northwest and have seen pictures old enough from the areas to say it was just undeveloped, beautiful country. The modern architecture we see today is a direct reflection of correlated labor skills. The structures we see in this video were built by hard working people with skills lost long ago, built in a time before 700 pages of city code and ridiculous amounts of readily available resources such as trees and quarries.
I have lived in Portland 62 yrs. My Friend since childhood ‘s Grandmother was born here in 1884. Amelia worked at the downtown Benson Hotel as a seamstress, sewing and mending the staff uniforms Amelia could recall her life going back to 4 years old. She lived in Ladds Addition. She died in 1990 at 106 years old. The family have boxes and boxes full of photos and albums of their life in Portland. We used to like looking at them. Seeing things differently now, it’s time to revisit the pictures. I have also noticed in recent years along Washougal river, Woodland Wa Cedar Creek etc. how the walls along the sides looked like what I thought to be giant petrified trees. I always thought them to be just rock cliffs. But I see the black bark of trees and closely fit stones. I’m so fascinated by all of this information. It is giving me a renewed spirit for my once so clean and beautifully perfect city. There has been nothing in my life so devastating as to being made to witness the destruction of my home land. Not by any natural disaster or “global. Warming”. Destruction being carried out by those we pay to protect it. It is a form of cruel torture for those who have been born and raised as many years as I have. It was merely 15 to 20 years ago that littering was very rare. I promise you that as a child in Portland it was in our DNA to never ever drop even the smallest piece of trash outside. It was weird if someone littered, it was without fail the litterbug would be told to pick up what they had dropped. I’m serious. Our sign read KEEP OREGON GREEN.and it was taken seriously by all. The ugliness that’s taken root is by some evildoers design. Absolutely sick and disgusting. It PTSD, suicides, depression, addictions. I said too much I’m going to spend the rest of my days to my dying breath piecing this together. It’s important for me to never stop learning. What I am learning is being passed to my Grandchildren. Goodness, I want for them to live among the most beautiful of Gods creation just as I once did. Wouldn’t that be amazing if it can be taken back and the quality of beauty restored in our lifetime?
Multnomah County Courthouse downtown was just beautiful! All marble throughout, winding staircases with rich, heavy fine carved wood. It has an acoustic sound to it. Have you seen the new building to replace it? Just plain old cheap with no character. I dont understand why they built a new courthouse.
"I don't know why I am going along on these videos...I guess it's all just really interesting." ❤ You got that right, Jon...AND because we love you! *hugs*💯🤗
I'm local to Portland and I'll tell you this much, there are LOTS of bizarre things about the history of this city. Aside from the things that Jon mentioned, there are obviously, the "Shanghai tunnels", Pittock mansion, MANY cathedrals that are FAR older than we are told and 3 existing buildings from the Lewis and Clark exposition that have all been moved from the original location, just to name a few. I can't even begin to elaborate fully. Thanks Jon, for makin this video! Sik
76 Gasoline history : Union Oil, for many years based in El Segundo, California, introduced "76" gasoline in 1932. The name referred to the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence, and was also the octane rating of the gasoline in 1932. 76 signs are orange balls with a 76 legend in blue.
Fascinating video! Jon, it was your research and videos that opened my eyes to the fact that we have all been punked at every turn! I thank you, Sir, I am FOREVER grateful! GOD bless you, Chief & kitty 🙏
I don't comment much, but I wanted to let you know that I so much enjoy your videos. This one especially because my mother was born in Bend, OR and I also went to a boarding school in Canyonville, OR for a while. I would love to go back and live there again. Minor White did an amazing job with these photos, and we are so fortunate to have them today. I hope that one day soon, our true history will be revealed along with all that they have hidden from us. It is such a shame that these beautiful buildings are gone now. Thank you for your videos. I love learning about our true past, and your commentary is very calming and thought provoking.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” Zappa.
A lot of these supposed "construction" photos may actually be DE-contruction photos. Who knows how many of these modern skyscrapees may actually contain ancient bricks from these old buildings? Definitely explains how they'd be able to build them cheaply.
right, build from bottom up, take apart top down. interesting how the "beginning" construction photos are always "nearly completed" ones, clearly the demo process or renovation.
Portland is my home, and these photos give me a profound sense of sadness...all those empty buildings...where did the people, the businesses go? Those buildings were solid, cast iron. All torn down, at the same time...beyond weird. I also learned that Portland had a World's Fair, the Lewis and Clark Exposition, I think 1905. And of course a devastating fire. Like all the others. Thank you, for enlightening us Mr. Levi. 🌹
Some western states in the USA still have a Tartarian (Old Russian) name. It immediately strikes the eye of a person who knows old Russian - for example, Colorado - Colo = circle of rado (Roda) = relatives... Family circle. Texas is the workshop (tseh)of Aces; Aces are relatives on a higher level - guardians. Arizona - the zone (zona) of the Aryans (Ari); Nevada - there is no water on Russian, vada is a purely Russian word. Nevada is indeed the driest state. Nebraska - not a brother (brat (sky) - not a close person, there is little trust, apparently foreigners lived here. Etc.. The eastern states were immediately renamed because they broke the understanding of the new settlers. I don't even know how Americans understand the word sacramental (sacramento).. And what do they know about the goddess Kali (California) Oregon - should also contain a bunch of references to that unique civilization...
This is great Jon Thank you! My dear, precious, mother, now passed was from Oregon. I spent several of my summers in that gorgeous state. It’s crazy in the summer of 1996 @ 15 years of age, I was wandering around Nike Town, Powell’s Book Store and outside while my grandma was working. You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to drop my worst enemy off in Portland today. Shoot Grandma and John moved like 5 years ago out of the city. Excuse me…they were bullied out of the city by shotty politics
The "medical symbol" at 12:27 is actual the "Caduceus of Hermes", symbolizing pharmakia, wisdom, trade,liars, thieves, and alchemy. Great video...loved the words of wisdom in the begining monolog, as I constantly need to check myself.
Another possibility: Bible, Numbers chapter 21, and John chapter 4 14 - 16 I think. The serpent represents the snake on Moses staff (Numbers), and spoke of again in the new testament (John)....Gods power was with Moses in his staff as it also had some type of serpent on it.
@@bigred7347 the "one serpent" staff of Moses is biblical, and not at all related to the double snake helix of Hermes. I noticed the other day here in my small beach town that the local emergency care for pets and animals uses the one snake staff of Moses for their logo, while the local hospital for humans uses the caduceus of Hermes for their's...very telling in deed.
I lived in Portland for three years and never noticed anything out of the ordinary (other than it being weird, generally). Now I see it and other cities very differently. In fact the history of Portland is preposterous. Two guys flipped a coin, now a famous penny, one of the guys named pennygrove, I believe, to decide on whether the city should be named Boston or Portland. This tale only makes sense if they FOUND the city. Wowzers
Fascinating Time To BE Alive. Thank You Jon for All You Do and Who You Are but Especially for Your Tantalizing mix of Humor and Melancholy. Love You Brother. Please Consider a Piece with Jason and Martin. 🙏❤️🔥
At 3:00 AM I was ready to go to sleep until I noticed you posted a new video. There was no way I could wait until tomorrow to watch it! Your channel/videos are my favorite! Excellent video, as always! Thank you for all you do! 🥰
Im up early today. I awoke to a notification for this video... I have been following in the shadows of this community and others for years now. I live in a small suburb outside of Portland OR so this video is one that I've been waiting for... I have my own ideas of some things for this area and I cannot wait to watch this video and see how much Portland and just the west coast in general is hiding in its own shadow's.. Thanks for everything you do for us! I have not even gotten to watch this yet, but I am so excited I needed to comment! Thank you!
West Coast: I don't think its an accident that San Francisco has been Destroyed the first of the big cities....and now NYC is asking for Emergency Funds because they are inundated by disasters and immigrants to live in Central Park! (so it will be Destroyed)
Hi Jon 👋😃 you have discovered what the bells were for wow the technology surrounding the building was surrounding all buildings and the bells were left behind. Just like a telephone pole has the cups on it so other wires can be added in from pole to pole so are the bells connecting the technology from each individual section of metal. And all tapped into The Ether. Looks like the bar that's inside of every Bell and on top of the Bell are connectors. I also see that depending on the size of the Bell is the resonating energy going through the line. Different Della sizes different resonating energy. How wonderful that you have found this the answer to the bells finally.💖🤗
I live in Portland born and raised in the house my great grandfather built in 1928 first home with electricity on the block, this has blown me away and I agree timeline for these old buildings make no sense by what we're told.
wow, John I've been trying to find a way to email you with some pictures from here in Oregon and was going to see if you had anything on my home state LAST NIGHT, crazy to see this as the topic tonight... better still, your intro resonates. Thank you for your work man, you helped to make me look at the realm rather than be told what I'm looking at.
Yes! Being a native here I would love to see more history be unveiled. I was in Washington park not long ago. There’s a statue of Sacajawea pointing. I’m wondering what she’s guiding us to look at. It’s like a treasure hunt. I think Portland is a hidden jewel hiding something incredible. The architecture here is over the top.
They expect you to believe that at the time they built most of this there was no electricity or motor vehicles and equipment and only 800 or less people.
Palace of Versailles built in 1631 long before cars and electricity. A true testament to human skill and the power of MONEY. Much of the buildings on the west coast are a result of the incredible excesses of the GOLD RUSH.
Your assuming you know what they had or didn't have. Where did you get that number from. Why does everyone keep asking where are all the people ? They've been gone hella long time, and more advanced...obviously
The number of occupants said to live here in the mid 1800s definitely do not match the huge structures that were there. None of there's narratives add up at all!! Thank you for this informative video!! Keep on keeping on!! Much appreciated! 👍
The people who built those buildings were not us. They are the ruins of the people who were here prior to a new migration of immigrants. They were abandoned, and nobody understood the tech, so they used what they could and repurposed the rest. They were big people prior to us.
Yes, I just found an old photo of a 9-10 foot man, or at least VERY TALL, standing in front of a coal mine by accident. I can tell he's about 9-10 foot because he standing next to a horse and other photos of men in the same mine... the location of the mine is about 1 hour 20 minutes from where Robert Wadlow was born, lived, and died. I now think he was looking for his house and maybe family that was buried in a mud flood. I'm surprised the photo is just there and nobody has noticed how tall the guy must be. This is in the area where I grew up and we lived in the oldest house in town, about 100 years old in the 1980's and it had 12 foot ceilings and 7 foot doors if you count the little space above the door that you could open and let air in.
I thought of Glasgow too as I came from there and often look at the old photos nostalgically. There is a kind of Glasgow atmosphere to these pictures for sure, wonder if its his photographic style or maybe choosing to capture images in cloudy weather as seen in some of them that may account for the difference.
I agree, if you look at the Bible the USA fits the description of TYRE , Lebanon, and Canaan . And other places as well. I almost think they flipped our maps. There are a lot more clues in the Bible, periodic destruction of places, which would explain the “ mud floods “ and Isaiah chapter 23 ( which was prophecy when written ) talks about God destroying Tyre , it being forgotten for 70 years and then it coming back to fornicate with the rest of the world. Sounds an awful lot like the USA and the reset that happened in the 1800s. And coincidentally the satanist at the bohemian grove mentioned how “ the dull one “ ( that’s what they call God ) destroyed Babylon and goodly Tyre.
The evidence does speak for itself, Jon. At least for people with the eyes to see. It's obvious that these buildings were just sitting there before the settlers and the amount of evidence is overwhelming. Great photos, thanks
12:44 - look how snall that person is in relation to that building ...that step is huge ! These buildings look like they were built for people 8-12 feet tall and obviously very long ago ! The inheritors were somehow incentivized to hide the past ....its all so obvious ...Amazing vid Jon- youre the best !! Thank you 🙏💗
It is something that appears very evident ! The so called giants must have been another version of mankind that lived among the “smaller ones” for many hundreds, if not thousands, of years. There is ample evidence of this everywhere.
Hello Jon , The temp , OMG the Temperature ...we mocked ,laughed and ridiculed ... but how little did we know . Its actually NOT us , Blessings my friend . We Love you All ❤
I went to college in Portland in the 60's. It was a beautiful city back then. I worked downtown near the NW park blocks in a retail store in a building that was four stories tall. The ground floor and mezzanine took up floor space on the lower levels. All the windows on the top two floors were painted over because it was warehouse storage for an office furniture business. The paint on the windows prevented the sun from fading and drying the oak and cherry desks, desk chairs, bookcases, and filing cabinets. Nearly everything high-end was wooden back then and wood was easy to come by in local forests. (Portland's nickname is "Stumptown" for obvious reasons.) I was dismayed to see old buildings come down to make room for sleek, modern buildings. Many of the old buildings that were warehouses have been made into condos in an area called The Pearl District in NW Portland. There are still many lovely old buildings standing thanks to the historical society. Portland was established in 1843, which makes the city almost 200 years old. Thanks for taking us back in time.
Thank you for doing this!! I was born and raised in Portland and have been waiting for you to do a video on it. The architecture here is incredible! Check out the St John’s bridge and cathedral park. Washington park is incredible as well with the rose garden. It’s truly epic.
It's funny... you said it ... we've seen it all before. I was sitting outside and the front of my little house sits facing east,so in morning sun I can't see my phone but I was just listening. You tell the story so good I see very clearly , it's really amazing, the story telling the gift of having eyes to see. Thanks .
Dear Jon, I thank you so much for your precious work. I've been following you for about 2 years. I like also the comments in a special way because I can learn a lot from them and I can reflect better, make comparison here in Italy where I live. Grazie for this new video... Impressive... Thank you. Blessings to you and your lovely companions Chief and Studio.
Jon, Thank you for this. I love Portland. Used to be such a beautiful city even as late as the 1980s. There is a mansion up above the city named The Pittock Mansion. I think you would really enjoy seeing it. It was, I believe, considered an historic society property. built in the French Renaissance style. It's open to the public and a huge tourist draw. I love you always. Cheers
Canvass White? Been to Croton area, looks and feels ancient even when I saw it in the 60's. His resume is also quite amazing. Busy fella traveling all over back then. Incredible accomplishments for a young guy, even invents his own Cement!......yeah, right!
O my gosh.....I was going to say the same thing....Jon is an Artist...... and the melancholy & humor are part of the overall profile. (I studied esoteric enneagram for years (spirituality) to help myself heal so I notice types in other people). God makes each person unique, but we each are somehow related to everyone and everything else. We are a Unified Whole in God.
I still focus on the seemingly insane logistics of these old torn down buildings. Multiply the number of those cast iron pillars by the weight of each one. Tons and tons of cast iron was poured into molds, transported from CA to OR, dragged to the site, and erected as the structural core of these incredibly ornate multistory brick buildings containing 1000s of bricks. Why would anyone do this? Who was there or going to be there? How did they become so decrepit in such a short period of time? Do any of these official narratives uncovered in Jon's videos make any real sense? No. So, what is the real story?
Perfect observation! Been a toolmaker over 50 years and know that Cast Iron doesn't mean simple construction!!! One must make all the molds to pour it into first. Not to mention a very good and huge Foundry. Where? How waaaay back then? Oh, Cali is the special answer, I suppose??? Not buyin' it.....
@@dianecampbell3006 And that sophisticated forge had to receive all of its iron from .... where? Shipped across country by the Donner party? JK .) OK. Rail. Even so, where was it mined, refined, and cast into ingots? Who paid for it and why? It does not make any sense against the official narrative. They had engines then, so they had machines, but even so, it just doesn't add up. In fact, nothing does. I am in the Philadelphia region, and all the remaining old buildings could not be remade today with all our technology for any reasonable price. $100M buildings? with 15 foot high doors and windows. Why? I question everything lately.
personally I think they are much....Much older perhaps built in the 1600's-1700's The weather was more stable, the buildings would have been preserved for many centuries
It is so hot in Texas. I have to work eight hours full sun averaging temperatures of 107. I’m 59 year old man who wants to just give up. It seems like every day gets harder . If you have a job inside be thankful.
The amount of work, by man and machine, to yield iron columns in relief is enough to halt thought. From mining the ore, processing it to melt form, melting it, pouring it, applying the decorative relief let alone making it - just phantasmagorical. "Hey Louie, we got an order for Oregon. Says they need enough columns for a small city." Okay, got it Hank. Tell em next Thursday." FMD - I have guttural contempt for occulting secret societies.
I know many of you here may not remember but when I was younger Sunday was like a ghost town. There was a law that you couldn’t sell anything on Sunday, all of the stores were closed, it was called the BLUE LAW 🤔🤔🤔 and you would be fined if you had your store open on Sunday. So some of these pics could have been taken on a Sunday when everyone was home for a day of worship. But Saturday everyone was out and about it was amazing that the very next day everyone seemed to disappear. As a kid I hated Sunday and had a hard time understanding why and where everyone would be from one day to the next.
I remember that and not liking sunday either as a kid... the fun was over, stores shut and with school looming on monday, the much disliked sunday night bath.
I to remember Sunday with no stores opened and Saturday most of the stores closed by 6.. it was when I was a teenager that the stores stayed open late on Saturday and opened up on Sunday till 3ish...
I remember when the stores were closed on Sundays. It didn't bother me at all. As an adult I believe that because the Christians (and Jews) did not believe anyone should be doing any work whatsoever. People always Stayed at Home, relaxed, enjoyed their families and they did NO work on the SABBATH. (Christians had the Sabbath changed to a different day). So in losing the day of rest we lost part of our history. (i never heard of blue laws. i don;t know what they are. i have heard of laws prohibiting alcohol consumption that maybe were blue laws)
Word Jumble: Minor White = Iron Time. The man's photo looks like he was transported back from the late 1960s to take the pics. He doesn't belong in the 30s 😮
Looking at these photos, imagining the lives of the people from the old world, I become humbled, realizing that we must have no chance, us inheritors of the realm, if these people stood no chance... They were so advanced, and yet they were fragile, mortal beings, of which we know nothing about, besides the stories told by the remnants we see scattered everywhere. Thanks Jon!
1938 Oregon looked cool. The guy was " connected " by getting the WPA job....The Club. I have noticed people that have government jobs are real followers( I was active duty Navy and had several civilian contracts before I could not handle the zombies around me!!😂
Yea I have a story about my first attempt at recruitment for the USN. What a bunch of posers and do boys. I knew back in 93 we were already fuct just by the way it seems like they weren't shopping for free thinking Alpha Males then😂 THEIR LOSS OUR GAIN I STAND FOR THE PEOPLE WITHOUT A COSTUME OR CARNAL WEAPONS❤
And you say "they" were real followers...sounds like you were too. Lol....we all were asleep at some point in Life, so I'm glad you're here with us now. Welcome
Fabulous pictures JonLevi - love your philosophical view on how to let go and in these times it is something that we all need to do. It's always a joy to watch your videos - bless you, Chief and Kitty!
The Montgomery Ward building was where my grandparents met in the early 1930s. My grandfather retired from the in the 70s. Portland is rich with beautiful architecture. Check out the pittock mansion.
I really enjoy looking at photos of old, of what used to be. Quite bittersweet. I hope you are doing well, Jon. Love and blessings to you, Chief, Studio, and chickens. 👋❤☺
that stuck out like a sore thumb. seems too cleanly designed to be modern retrofit, the boarded up archways are more indicative of the craftsmanship and ability of the era
It looks like there had been a much more advanced civilization there in 884, given the date on the building. I don't think a horse and cart would have cut it. Great info Jon, thanks! 🥰
Nice Mandella Effect with the Fruit of the Loom. I would like to know where the builders of these buildings went and where did the "Founders/Inheritors" come from.
Go as long as you want Jon, the longer the videos the slightly less time we have to wait until the next one. I dont know what it is about ol' Minor here but he gives me bad vibes for some reason. Something about him just seems off to me. What a fascinating collection of photos tho. How did every growing city seem to originally have so many top experts in their fields when building such ornate EVERYTHING? Was everybody just such advanced skilled laborers and when did we go from seemingly having so many to having so few? Gotta also wonder what happened to the inhabitants of all those over the top immaculate buildings, which many seem perfectly fine to me for a fairly young city to utilize and repurpose rather than tear down and build new inferior buildings in their place, altho maybe it somehow involves the comic book origin story to Portlands flourishing and thriving and seemingly never ending, always growing, homeless population. I really wonder what it cost to tear all these buildings down since they didnt just demolish them but painstakingly took them apart brick by brick. Couldnt have been cheap, so I wonder how much profit they were really making in the long run by reselling these building supplies (if they actually were reselling them that is.... dun dun DUNNN). Anyways I'm half delirious, thanks and God Bless Jon!
Wow, I just couldn’t agree more with your opening comments and it’s always good to bear these things in mind. And thank you for saying it.. we can only move through that which is in us, that which we feel, by feeling it, and surrendering. And surrendering to life and what is. I will continue listening now. Blessings on your being and thank you for sharing your wise self. Much love! 💗🦋🌸
I’d love to see your take on what happened after the 1929 crash. I’m wondering if a lot more people died of starvation than people were told. My mom was adopted in 1939 and she just did her dna and met a half sister and cousin. My ethnicity changed after that. Lol
Your wondering is correct. Millions of people died of starvation during the time of the Great Depression (even prior to the Great Depression due to the changes happening in the financial status of usa, Plus 1929 through 1942) Depressions begin Before most people are aware, continue through the worst of the Depression, & continue on "After" the Depression due to the recovery time needed for most people to recover. It is happening now just the same way......Changes in finances are causing Depressionary problems Before the actual event slams down. People don't see what is directly in their faces.
@@libertybell7145it feels like a 100 year cycle... Seeing as it's been... Yah know, 100 years. Makes me wonder what's going to happen over the next ten to twenty years.
John I' live in Portland born here in 1963 , the block work trainbridge pilers are still here I. was checking them out last week they have iron framed edges cemented to the blocks strong , never needing repair the streets were cobble stone not brick with trolly car tracks they just lay asfalt over the top a few years ago they dug up several miles of road for a bus mall and took all the cobble stones dumped them in huge piles covered them with dirt and made a dog park
Thank you Jon. It is always a pleasure to view the world from your perspective and research. To share a connection with a kindred soul is indeed a gift.
