In this little video, Once Upon A Reset Civilization, we will examine the city of San Francisco in the early days of its inception up to the 1906 fire and earthquake. Photos show a complete wipe out of the city in 1906 yet the false historical narrative claims only 3000 people were killed. To...

Four days later, at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18, 1906, the coast of Northern California was struck by a major earthquake with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.9 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). High-intensity shaking was felt from Eureka on the North Coast to the Salinas...

I do not remember how the topic came up, but a while ago, a co-worker of mine mentioned some dude who was making a lot of money by illegally logging an underwater forest in Lake Washington. From the legal perspective, the story ended up being a bit more complicated, but that's besides the...

Some of us have seen this photograph before. The train ended up on its side due to the famous 1906 earthquake. The one that destroyed SF. The 1907 account reads: At Point Reyes Station at the head of Tomales Bay the 5:15 train for San Francisco was just ready. The conductor had just swung...

Always thought that the 1755 Great Lisbon Earthquake was weird: In combination with subsequent fires and a tsunami, the earthquake almost totally destroyed Lisbon and adjoining areas. Isn't it interesting that back in 1750 (probably waaay earlier than that) people knew what needed to be...

I will preface this by saying that the world-renowned conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado is a very questionable figure in my book. May be he was wronged by the history re-writers, but according to what we know, the guy did not know his arse from elbow. He went looking for the Quivira...

Once coincidences start piling up, it's time for a suspicion. In my recent article titled "Real mission of the 1907-1909 US Great White Fleet, what was it?" I pointed out an interesting catastrophic event which occurred during the voyage of the fleet. There could be more, but I did not...
