1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:21,640 I'm going to be talking about a very strange event. 2 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,120 I never really heard of it and I couldn't find any videos dedicated to the subject matter. 3 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,320 So I thought it would make for an interesting video with everything going on nowadays and so that we could all investigate further. 4 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,560 This was actually sent to me by subscribers so shout out to him. 5 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,840 Not sure if he wants me to say his name or not, but thank you for sending this info as I would have never found out about it. 6 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,280 With that, let's get started. 7 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:55,800 On a rainy evening in October 1903, according to the mainstream account, a sewer in Waterloo, Iowa was 8 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,600 transformed into what is perhaps the strangest banquet hall ever conceived by man. 9 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,960 This event was so unusual that it became famous during its time. 10 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,840 With photographs showing these sewers or what could be termed in underground tunnel, 11 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,480 decorated with a grand feast for what seems to be very important people. 12 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,920 This story made its way into the newspapers and even abroad, including England. 13 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,000 According to the story, this event took place on October 14, 1903. 14 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,880 banquet given in sewer, 15 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,360 league of municipalities entertained in the storm drain in Waterloo, 16 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,200 entertained, 17 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,880 Waterloo, Iowa, October 14. 18 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,800 The city officials and businessmen of Waterloo this evening gave a banquet to the league of Iowa 19 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,560 municipalities in the dry run sewer and immense storm drain constructed to protect the city from floods. 20 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,760 The drain is 3,385 feet in length, 12 feet high, and 12 feet wide. 21 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,200 It is dry except when heavy rains cause floods. 22 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,240 A section of the sewer 400 feet in length was set apart for the banquet. 23 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,080 A long table was spread to accommodate 850 persons. 24 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,920 Mayor Jones of Toledo was one of the speakers. 25 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,040 Others were attorney general Mullen and Iowa, 26 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,840 Mayor J.C. Williams of Oscar Lusa, 27 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,640 and prosecuting attorney Sherman Mirrors of Waterloo. 28 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,680 Now I find it very interesting because most of the articles in the modern day 29 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,440 don't really mention how many people were coming to this event in the sewer. 30 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,080 So let's just say they did construct it and I thought it was a great accomplishment. 31 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,720 Even so, it's very bizarre. 32 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,920 Why would you want to go down there and have a dinner? 33 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,920 Unless this is something that has been done before by these elite groups, 34 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,280 are anticipating in some type of meeting and underground hidden places. 35 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,120 Even the news article's stake quite clearly that this event was for officials and politicians, 36 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,760 higher players that would come from many different places just to see the sewer. 37 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,760 And why did they build this massive sewer in a small town in Iowa? 38 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,840 Well the story is that there were several floods, 39 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,640 even one in 1880 being described as a deluge? 40 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,240 Dry run Creek flow through Waterloo and apparently it wasn't always dry. 41 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,240 There's a newspaper report discussing how the dry run became a mighty torrent of floods, 42 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,160 that this also led to someone's death and that this dry run was actually the 43 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,600 bed of some ancient stream. 44 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,720 This flooding was a big problem and it happened again in 1902. 45 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,600 The Creek rose over three meters and just a few minutes. 46 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,000 They knew this was going to be a problem and they needed to solve this issue. 47 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,000 Which obviously that's the mainstream story, but I find it strange that we see the same narrative 48 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,040 in many different cities. 49 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,520 There were massive floods and they either needed to raise the streets or there's some type of 50 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,760 extensive underground system beneath the city. 51 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,840 In August of 1900, there was a newspaper discussing the proposal to construct a very substantially 52 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,000 built sewer and it literally says that this should do its service for centuries. 53 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360 Now they do have construction photos in some of these early newspapers. 54 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,160 But I find it weird because we really only get a few and it's already basically done 55 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,880 or it's questionable whether this is really the same exact sewer as it looks different in the 56 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,440 photos provided and even from inside the banquet. 57 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,440 I mean this is a massive tunnel. 58 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,600 The proposal said, quote, that the walls had to be of rock about two 59 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,600 and a half feet thick in 5 feet high. 60 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,560 On these is the rest in arch, also a rock in about two feet thick. 61 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,640 Inside is to be 10 feet wide and 10 feet high. 62 00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:48,520 The bottom to be paved similar to our street pavement, except that Portland cement 63 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,200 has to be used for filling between the brick. 64 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,440 The bottom is to be concave so as the better to carry off ordinary sewage which will be admitted 65 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,560 at each cross street. 66 00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,320 End quote. 67 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,640 And that sounds great in all but think about it. 68 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,240 Why would you approach it like this? 69 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,240 Is this not the first thing you should do when constructing a city? 70 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,360 Why did it take them over 50 years since the founding of the city in 1903 to construct a sewage tunnel 71 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,080 for flooding? 72 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,400 It really makes no sense and makes things very difficult. 73 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,960 You'd have to ruin all the roads in order to make this happen and basically just a bunch of extra work. 74 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,720 Also, there were really only around 13,000 people in water live at this time. 75 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,040 Seems a bit strange to put all this effort into building a massive sewer, 76 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,120 but it gets even weirder. 77 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,440 So let me read to you some of the descriptions of the event. 78 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,920 Well, there is a postcard that has some info on it. 79 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,720 Talking about how the table was 125 meters in length and it looks quite extravagant. 80 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,080 On October 15th of 1903, 81 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,880 there was a water-lood daily reporter that healed the feast as a grand success. 82 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,680 This it is went away well pleased. 83 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,600 Here's what it says. 84 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,320 Most beautiful sight, a number of powerful arc lamps were strong about the banquet hall entrance, 85 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,040 which was elegantly decorated with evergreen and bunting flags, etc. 86 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,680 Giving the exterior a magnificent appearance. 87 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,560 As we'll actually enter the sewer, however, the view was long to be remembered. 88 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,320 Not one of those in attendance had ever before witnessed such a dazzling sight and without exception, 89 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,720 the visitor would remain standing on the final flight of stairs to obtain a good view of the 90 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,240 long table in banquet hall. 91 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Because of the limited capacity of the hall, the first course of oyster cocktail, etc, had already been 92 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,040 placed on the table before the visitors receded. 93 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,880 The balance of the course is however, were all served in the best manner, 94 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,080 although the space left for attendees to pass through the files of those seed was comparatively small. 95 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,520 Dry run punch, a delectable dish, attracted no little attention. 96 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,880 Wait, so they were drinking cocktails and dry run punch? 97 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,560 Seems weird to me, but it continues. 98 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:19,640 The toast lasted 90 minutes, placed at each place of the banquet table was a souvenir glass containing 99 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:26,040 cigars and matches. The glasses bore an appropriate inscription and in each case were carried away 100 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,560 as a remembrance of the banquet. The menu cards were also preserved by those attending, 101 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,120 and the thoughts of the sewer banquet were longer long in the minds of everyone who has actually 102 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:43,880 eaten in a sewer. So that's a description of the event, and from the Strand magazine March 1904, 103 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:50,200 as if to suggest a danger happily passed, the rain was falling outside by no fear of 104 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,960 blood troubled the gathering. The banquet was as successful as the construction of the sewer itself. 105 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,360 In those who were privileged on this memorable occasion to partake of dry run punch, 106 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:08,600 drink it with a special gustow. This little joke of the caterer was duly appreciated, 107 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,200 but a zurt was as happily chosen, for it ended with a rookfort and watercrackers. 108 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,000 Okay, so these people were describing it like it was the time of their life, but I mean, 109 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,480 look at this, does this look fun to you? And why are there not more photos of this event? 110 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Why can't we see the people actually sitting and eating? We just get this weird photo of a single 111 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:36,760 guy staring at the camera in the whole place's empty. Then we have this postcard photo that looks 112 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:42,120 highly edited, and the Evergreen's are moved to a higher location, so either this is a painting 113 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:48,120 and they moved it or something else is going on here. Basically, there are two photos of this event. 114 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,840 One is with the guy, and the other is a postcard. But there is one more interesting detail. 115 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,960 Well, the photo with the guy with the bowler hat was taken by a JPE King, and this is the famous 116 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,360 photo that is referenced by the articles, and it's probably familiar to anyone who already knows 117 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:12,920 about this from Iowa. And remember, they said that this happened in October 14th, 1903, 118 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,960 but interestingly, the guy who showed me this sent me this photo, which is on the Library of 119 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:27,320 Congress website. This is the exact same photo, but it's a stereo version. Now look at this, 120 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:35,560 very interesting. There's a date. It says Illinois Central Excursion South, May 18th, 121 00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:44,600 through 29th, 1903. So wait, this is from the same year, but on this it says a completely different 122 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,920 date, and this one actually has the original copyright on the photo. Not only that, Illinois Central, 123 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:58,120 so this was a part of some type of railroad expansion. Is it a railroad or a sewer? 124 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:05,240 And I didn't mention this, but look at the bricks in the ground. This does not look like a brand-new 125 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:11,080 construction. It looks kind of old and messy, and the chairs are very creepy the way they're all 126 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:18,440 lined up like that. And honestly, the table looks photo-manipulated. Kind of like the postcard. 127 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,360 You can see that the noise detail is not the same on the table compared to the guy with the hat. 128 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:31,960 I mean, look at the flowers. They look pretty fake. So why would they do this? Why would they just 129 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:38,360 make up an event like this? And what is the true dating? The museum mats actually trying to keep 130 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,080 us of an alive and do a similar celebration today. Doesn't even know the original date. 131 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:50,600 Well, obviously the newspapers said that this happened on the October date, but the stereo photograph 132 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:56,200 proves that there may be some variation on when this actually occurred. It's not just a photograph, 133 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:02,600 either. I found some interesting newspaper articles. Well, first off, Waterloo has had some 134 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:10,040 other benglets, all of which seem to revolve around these clubs. Some seem innocent enough, but others 135 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:16,920 are quite obviously secret societies. The Owls Club, even the Waterloo Lodge is mentioned in 136 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,840 some of these announcements. However, after searching for newspaper articles from the deets mentioned 137 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:31,400 on the stereo photograph, their arson strange details. JP King, the photographer, was mentioned in the 138 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:39,640 Waterloo career on May 22, 1903, having to do with some type of railroad expansion. So those may 139 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,880 dates are correct. As not only is Illinois central mentioned, but it says a magnificent special 140 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:51,720 train. Whatever that's supposed to mean. And it lists all these important people who went to a 141 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,120 bengue and Memphis. Several of the individuals listed were also from Mason City. 142 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,400 What I find interesting is that JP King is only mentioned in the newspapers of the Waterloo 143 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:10,360 career from what I could find on these May dates during 1903. I see no mention of him during the 144 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:17,000 October dates. Yet, in the mainstream story, JP King is the photographer of the famous dry run 145 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,920 sewer bengue in Waterloo. Yet, he's only mentioned in connection with Illinois central and going to 146 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:31,960 other benglets during the month of May in 1903. Also, in May 27, 1903, there's a section on floods 147 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:37,400 and how the water was rising which caused delay to work on the sewer construction. And it literally 148 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,480 says here, how the dirt had to be hauled out of the sewer because of this flood. 149 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,200 So, wait, it seems that it was already pretty much done as they're talking about it getting flooded 150 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,960 and backed up. There are multiple articles from this time talking about this massive sewer getting 151 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,840 flooded and causing issues. So I find that interesting that these dates are what were mentioned 152 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:05,160 on the stereo photograph. And it's important to note that the sewer didn't even solve the problem 153 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:13,000 of flooding as there were many floods after its construction. In 1922, when in 1929, 1933, 154 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:21,720 1945, 1947, and so on. Another thing that ties into this is that during these exact dates 155 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:27,000 mentioned on the photograph by JP King, the May dates, while there are multiple newspapers 156 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:33,720 from the Waterloo career from May 19 to 25th, talking about how odd fellows were leaving Waterloo 157 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,680 to go to Mason City. And another mentions how a bunch of free mason's were going to be coming to 158 00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:48,040 Waterloo. The whole, Mason City? Really? They're literally telling you how in grain, Masonic influence 159 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:54,760 was in these cities during these times. A city of Mason's? Well, this article says, 160 00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:02,040 IOF, or the independent order of odd fellows, to Mason City. And it even mentions how a large number 161 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:08,520 from Black Hawk large will tend. It doesn't say free mason's, but obviously that's what we're talking 162 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:16,680 about. Brothers, these odd fellows were going to Mason City to attend dedicated Tory exercises 163 00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:21,960 of the new odd fellows orphan home. However, that means probably some rituals, 164 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:28,680 ceremony, it sounds like. Though we know Waterloo was heavily associated with secret societies, 165 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,840 clubs, and the odd fellows from Waterloo were associated with orphan homes. 166 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:40,680 While we have a strange underground meetings or supposed banquet, which is just a fancy way to say 167 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:49,000 club that gets together and has a nice dinner. But why? And why underground? So underground tunnels, 168 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:55,320 secret societies, and these clubs are associated with orphans? If you haven't seen it, 169 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:01,320 we have this whole thing on odd fellows. These odd fellows in free mason's from Waterloo are basically 170 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,120 deeply connected. They still consider themselves brothers and participate in each other's affairs. 171 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:15,320 But this is probably the craziest part. Now, who is this JP King and is he associated with any 172 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:21,560 type of club? Well, on the Library of Congress website, if you search for his name, 173 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:29,800 something strange comes up. It seems that JP King was the photographer for the odd fellows, 174 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,240 and the very first result is a photo from that odd fellow orphan home in Mason City. 175 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,400 It's a photograph copyrighted by JP King, so the same guy who took the banquet photo. 176 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,640 And it seems this is 15 years after that news article we were discussing? 177 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,600 It says the youngest children at dinner, and it's kind of weird, maybe not creepy, 178 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,880 but kind of, especially if you consider this is somehow connected to underground tunnels. 179 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,920 There's another photo of a nursery. It's the odd fellow orphans in old folks home apparently. 180 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:13,560 So yeah, if you look up JP King, the only photos that come up are of this odd fellow orphan home, 181 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:22,040 and the famous banquet table in the sewer photo. There is this interesting article from February of 1904, 182 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,160 which is a few months after the date given by the mainstream of October 14, 1903. 183 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:34,120 In this article from the Waterloo Courier in 1904, it discusses this event 184 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,280 was not the only one of its kind. 185 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:43,560 It's titled banquet in a conduit. Chicago comes to Waterloo for ideas of a feast. 186 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,000 600 served at tables over three blocks long. 187 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,680 Bancrators were 40 feet below the surface of the earth. Wait what? 188 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,000 But it is quite complimentary to Waterloo that a city is large Chicago should come here 189 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,960 for ideas concerning the up-to-date serving of a banquet. 190 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:09,080 A few evenings since the feast was enjoyed by 600 Chicagoans in a conduit from tables three blocks 191 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,400 long and 40 feet under the surface of the street. 192 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,880 End quote. So in Chicago, they were doing underground binglets as well, 193 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,920 and apparently Chicago wanted to learn from Waterloo. 194 00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:27,560 There's also this discussing of the Illinois Tunnel Company that was responsible for around 20 miles 195 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,280 of tunnels, which seems quite impressive for its time. 196 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,600 It even discusses how before the banquet, the guest were treated to a ride in electric cars 197 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,480 underground, where at least three miles of the tunnel, going around 20 miles per hour. 198 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,640 Pretty interesting, because when you look into the Waterloo story, they make it seem like, 199 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,760 oh, it was a rare, weird, and silly event. It was just some one of a kind scenario. 200 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,960 But that's not true. They did it in Chicago as well. 201 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,280 Well, it gets even more bizarre. There are even more of these underground sewer dinners. 202 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,400 In St. Louis, there's another very similar event. 203 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:15,480 In 1916, there was supposedly a new, almost finished sewer, and to celebrate, a bunch of people 204 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:22,280 came down here and apparently paid $700 to eat here. They were 100 feet underground and around 200 205 00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:26,840 people keen to this event. They literally described it in the same exact way. 206 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,120 The portion of the tunnel was transformed into a banquet. These guests, according to the newspaper 207 00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:37,720 articles, consisted of city officials and bankers, meaning elites, but during this time would be 208 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:43,240 a part of some type of club or another. They even decorated it in a similar fashion. 209 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,000 They were taken down to the sewer through elevators, and the dinner table was over 200 feet long. 210 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:56,280 Interestingly, it says kind of the same thing as the waterloo event that there were no speeches. 211 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,120 Seems like a weird thing to repeat if it's just a dinner or a banquet. Why would there be a speech? 212 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,120 Unless it's something else. 213 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,080 And also, it's really weird that there's this whole thing about an explosion and how the workers were 214 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,720 really mad that they were throwing this banquet down there, and that even had 19 policemen 215 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,680 stationed to guard the entrance as there were threats that they would destroy the tunnel with explosives 216 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:26,360 during the dinner. Hmm. Why were they so upset that they wanted to destroy the tunnel? 217 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:33,640 Perhaps there was something strange going on down there. I thought that was weird because it's kind of 218 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:39,640 hard to find any more info on that dinner from St. Louis, and it shows that at least from what we know, 219 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,280 there were three different bankwints occurring underground involving the elites of a city. 220 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,440 If it happened once, then yeah, you could argue that sure, maybe it was just a one-time 221 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,720 thing to be silly and unique just to celebrate the creation of a sewer. But the fact that it's 222 00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:02,200 happened several times brings the question the true purpose of these bingwits. Obviously, these clubs 223 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:09,480 like going underground to have dinners or secret meetings. Waterloo is interesting because it's 224 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,200 another term that's used for multiple cities, and it's also Napoleon's last battle. 225 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:20,280 One thing I found that maybe connected is as I was searching for more information on 226 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,320 subterranean tunnel networks in Waterloo, Iowa, there's this blog talking about 227 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,720 pot holes in Waterloo, Canada, and now it revealed a massive network of underground tunnels that was 228 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:39,080 previously unknown. Ortean miles had been discovered. How do you just discover old tunnels? 229 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,960 This was similar in Charleston, one of the top tour guides was rediscovering the history 230 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,880 of the tunnels under Charleston. How does that happen? They don't even know when these things were 231 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:58,440 originally built in for what purpose. There are also the Waterloo vaults in London, so 232 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:05,720 obviously this name is associated with massive underground passages. This also connects to the subject 233 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:11,160 of subterranean rivers, as it's one thing to construct a tunnel by digging up the dirt and 234 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,640 filling it up back again, but underground passage with the river is a whole nother level. 235 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,200 There are many of these around the world, but I wonder if there are more that we don't know about 236 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,840 and perhaps many of these underground tunnels are actually much older than we have been told. 237 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:34,200 Sure, maybe they did build it as they say, but it really does seem like the full story is not being told. 238 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,160 Why wouldn't you just showcase the entire tunnel being built instead of just a few photos? 239 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,240 Why not show more photos of the event? And why would you build these tunnels after the city's 240 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:53,240 constructed? How do you just forget about waste management? Perhaps it was built for a different purpose, 241 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,920 especially if we consider the masons who are most likely a part of this whole ordeal. 242 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:03,000 Tunnels for reaching different parts of the city secretly, and for having meetings underground 243 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,520 without the rest of the city knowing about it, I tend to think that they're not telling the full story. 244 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,880 And they did construct any tunnels? It was to connect to a bigger tunnel that was already there. 245 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,920 As a random side tangent, and the movie The Three Musketeers, the Viking-like vessel 246 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,640 goes into an underground river that leads to secret chambers that lead out to the city. 247 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,840 So just imagine what could be beneath our cities that we don't know about, 248 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,560 and I'm sure that many of you have been hearing the news lately. I'm not going to go too deep into it 249 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:41,400 because it gets pretty dark, but what I was truly curious about is, where they really building these tunnels 250 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:47,160 in New York, or is it some type of exposure to reveal that there are underground systems, 251 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:53,080 and you could say societies beneath our feet? Where many of these tunnels already there, 252 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:59,320 and then just expanded upon? I'd love to hear your guys thoughts on this. Let us know there are 253 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,720 more similar being glitz or dinners that occurred underground, or even if there's anything 254 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:09,720 about secret tunnels in your city. Hope you all enjoyed that, and this is going to be an awesome 255 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:18,040 year, so all we can hope is that our minds may be unveiled. Let go of everything you think to be true, 256 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,600 relax the mind and ask the question to a truly understand what this reality is.
