Same as always. You just build over the top of everything. Until people start digging in their basements.
Despite the FACADE, I think it was mainly a big WHITEwash. Racism, sexism, nationalism, imperialism. Same garbage Disney and Hollywood keep spewing to this day.
And same at all of the U.S. fairs! Deplorable, really.
And who are those vultures with their porn mustaches?! The pimps and slavers lining up for their new gig.
I intuit most of the world didn't know what happened. Had to be reeducated and then given a false schooling as well. But it's like they didn't (and still don't) know how to do anything WELL, and then were taught halfass was better. Failure something to aspire to. All of our systems and institutions are JUNK and don't work like they should. For US anyway.
But, yeah, a JOKE of superiority. Especially when I found out about the rest...
Mining building in Denver was BIGGER.
It's like they were beating their claimed authority into people. And it was all about STATES and COUNTRIES, just like DISNEYLAND! I despise political maps and I agree about ambiguity, because most countries (even African) didn't exist as such a few hundred years ago. It's absurd. Dividing up the spoils. Like hyenas at a kill. Or sharks.
Which is the funny and OBVIOUS part. We just need to GET OUT OF THE WAY. They'll take each other out more and more because none of those wankers trusts anybody, and they're always looking for a way to one-up each other or get more power.

From here http://www.teslasociety.com/columbia_expo2.htm
The Exposition was a brilliant spectacle of science, art and industry. All the world has its pilgrimage to Columbian Exposition in 1893. Westinghouse became dedicated to promoting the polyphase alternating current system and felt that his best chance to introduce it to the public at large would be at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The exposition was the greatest event in America and in the world at that time. Ever the ingenious promoter Westinghouse outbid Edison for the contract to power the expositions lighting and electrical systems. Over Two Hundred thousand electric light bulbs were illuminated by Tesla's polyphase alternating current system. The Westinghouse display was a historic collection of machines, all powered with Tesla/Westinghouse alternating current. It was a spectacular display of lights and energy, which illuminated the exposition.

Wanted to say special thanks to the UAP YT Channel for getting me acquainted with the below documentary via its World's Fair of Imagination video.

For those interested, this is going to be a real treat. I thought I knew a few things about the Chicago Expo of 1893, but the contents of the presented documentary are ridiculously amazing in their mockery of our historical perception. It's like the narrator is saying that they know that some of the Expo things were not supposed to exist, while simultaneously saying that TPTB does not really care about us knowing. At the same time it feels like the narrator was in a proud state of self-denial from all of the achievements he listed.

At the same time the commentary is so obviously driven by the existing expo-related narrative.

• The buildings were temporary, and it had to be repeated like 50 times, in case you forgot.
• Same goes for “only one building was permanent”
• When the Fair was over “everyone wanted buildings demolished because they were such a fire hazard”

If you choose to watch, please share your thoughts on the presented information.

Without further ado.

What about them:

• electric boats running non-stop, and getting charged once every 12 hours.

• electric rock drills?
• electric ice cream makers?
• electric candy makers?

Temporary = Fantasy
It's interesting that a music teacher and lawyer had the money to buy out the Electric Launch Company, and also other electrical related firms in 1899, and later manufactured some submarines for the US and British navies and the PT boat that John F. Kennedy drove. Like most of the extremely wealthy of the early 1900s, especially Carnegie, he was able to come from very little to very rich in a short time.

My reading of the submarine thing is Holland licensed Vickers limited to build the boats in the United Kingdom. All submarines of the Royal Navy have been built in the United Kingdom save HMS Graph which was a U boat built in Hamburg. Not a nerd just worked in a shipyard.

I get the feeling that the money aspect of all these 'sudden entrepreneurs' is an overlay of sorts put on after the event if you will to muddy the waters. There is also the ego angle of these people which rarely gets looked into. Making things 'bigger and better than ever before' arises from ego. The corruption never gets looked into, no wonder such information as there is is likely to have not been digitised and who wants to sit reading a microfiche or actual newspaper books seeking references to scandal, theft, insurance scam, foreign intervention etc.
Pictures and videos can be, were and are faked. I suppose newspaper articles or court cases can be too but relying on images without looking into the nature, dealings, lived of the humans involved as deeply as we at this distance in time can, produces 'half a story'.

I have all three MASSIVE collections of photos from a private collection compiled by Mark Bussler and printed in the last couple years. Impressive, for sure, but I wonder what WASN'T printed and who he got them from...

Yeah, and they've been using the printed media for CENTURIES to influence people. So much so that I don't even trust my own words here!

I am retired from the pedestrian automatic door industry and saw an image of an advertisement in the Gene Wilder narrated film that mentioned an electric door. It was my understanding that the first pedestrian automatic door was installed in NYC in 1935 by The Stanley Works. You can imagine the interest created by seeing an advertisement for an electric door in 1893. While researching this 1893 electric door, I found The Book of the Fair at the Illinois Institute of Technology web site. I found another intriguing bit of an information. A fax machine was displayed by Elisha Gray! I have attached a picture of this page from the book.

Attached the excerpt from the book.

Sounds like 1884 could be one of the earliest dates for general purpose electric doors.

Thanks for this info. I have been researching these 19th century electric door openers. This is what we would call an electric strike and not an electric door opener. I think the 1931 date Wikipedia shows may be the first modern instance of an electric door opener.

Maybe someone has posted this link already. It's all Chicago history in photo's over 15,000. I just typed in Exposition in the search.
exposition | Search Results | CHUCKMAN'S PHOTOS ON WORDPRESS: CHICAGO NOSTALGIA AND MEMORABILIA

I have to admit that there's a continual sense of empty cities across this whole time frame. I see one person only in this photo. It just
does not make sense. I haven't researched any of this but aren't we also seeing "Columbian" as a theme word many other places too?

This photograph above is rather interesting. I doubt I have seen it before. Would be nice to find a better resolution image of this. The biggest one I was able to locate is here, but is far from being good enough.

• What does it say in the left bottom corner there?

Here is an additional related image from @Dielectric's source.

Looks like the 20th century history curriculum, based on the pictures. Not sure I'd want to spend 60 bucks on that! I will gladly support the idea of someone else here buying it though.

True, I just read closer. But that's the narrative they're pushing! The NWO propaganda to go with the fair. Racism and nationalism and a race by certain western European nations to take over the world.
America their new pet project.

I ACTUALLY fantasized that it was the true owning up to it history of murder, rape and pillage of the world in the last several hundred years.
SILLY ME!

Was playing with the heating systems, and ran into this. How cool is that?

• Width: 20 feet
• Height: 25 feet
• Length: 30 feet
• Weight: 20 tons
• It was The World’s Largest Stove
• The World's Largest Stove

It was The World’s Largest Stove

What is also cool, the thing still exists.

Were they burning up their fair laborers in it? "Winners" of the " civil war". Get TOASTY.
Looks like they were casting big iron and steel though. Like for roof supports of ENORMOUS buildings. Wonder if they could have transported such large materials via rails...

From the first giantt stove linked page;
The 25′ wide x 30′ long x 20′ tall wooden stove was made of 15 tons of carved oak, painted black & silver to replicate the nickel-plated look of their Garland line of ranges.
Marketing gimmick yet again!

According to this article, it sounds like they kept it assembled through 1974, after which it was taken apart. When they put it back together in 1998, it required a $300,000 restoration. It is $462k today. Did they make a new one?

I was wrong in the OP. Too bad we will never get a chance to see firsthand what kind of wood it was. I’m not even surprised:
