The inaugural episode in this series which will delve into the finer details of imagery based around the most grand exposition in American history - The Chicago World's Fair of 1893. We are trying to decipher if the image artifacts left behind were merely for cosmetic purposes or artfully distorting historical lines.
The images used in this presentation will be sourced below.

This is not scandalous. It’s always been this way. It reveals the dark side of self. The Pharos changed the hieroglyphics when they they came into power to better suit their self image. It has always been. I admire your efforts to prompt people to the right path but it is (sadly) woven into our DNA. I was a pressman for thirty years. All magazines do nothing more than promote themselves. Tobacco companies would use actors to look like doctors and look straight into your eyes and lie to you. People try to make history, distort history and revise history. We hade our flaws. I could keep writing forever. It’s an ugly reflection we don’t want to see. I understand. Let’s make the world better by starting with ourselves.😢

I think you make a fair point certainly .. I also think that the underling implications of a pre-existing infrastructure being rediscovered also reveals the better nature ‘woven into our DNA’ .. the wrestling between higher and lower natures has surely been present through the ages and grappling over some sort of tipping-point between opposing ways of reigning over self-and-other.

I'm in the trucking biz. The logistics alone of sourcing the materials after designing the fairgrounds, to say nothing of transporting it all to one location and then actually building these facilities, is utterly mind boggling regardless how much moola was thrown at the project. This rabbit hole is deep. Thanks for pushing us over the edge 🙂

A Nice bit of work Mr. First time I have seen anyone take this much time to really scrutinize these photographs, and I have to wonder if the highlighting was something that was a normal thing to do because of the nature of B & W photographs. The seemingly endless vanilla skies are of concern, God, soo many questions and so few attainable answers. But by now I think we can toss any questions for the need of soo many insane asylums in this time period. Many many people must have been just blown completely out of their minds by the sight of these things. Knowing it wasn't even remotely possible for the present occupiers to build these structures alone, not to mention the question of time for their construction and the degree of intelligence needed. I believe I have yet to see a true construction photo taken when the crews were hard at it, steam donkeys roaring and nuts and bolts flying.

@Comakino 6 ай бұрын

Yes, none of the construction photos seem to make sense when there is simply a metal frame and no scaffolding, you simply couldn't build anything that way.

@@LatentLexicon I don’t buy the narrative whatsoever in that history book on the 1893 worlds fair about it transforming in 2 years from swampy marshy wasteland to the most magnificent thing ever created in mankind that is the biggest lie those buildings were there and people were kept away from them for a long time something happened where mankind was isolated and brought up into daylight most likely from underground the whole narrative is absolute fraudulent at its finest in 2024 we couldn’t achieve even 5% of that in two years doesn’t matter how big the workforce .it’s a lie I don’t think people understand how big the molds would have to be for some of the sections on these buildings I’ve done moldmaking and I can tell you the undercuts could get into the hundreds just on one section under cuts are different sections to a mold. None of this was made of plaster definitely concrete polymer blend it’s obvious how deliberate these worlds fairs were on creating a fake false narrative of history to erase The truth on the real past which we have been digging out of literally in 2024 figuring out with great research and the digging out back in 1800s where some catastrophic event that happened? I think the technology that they have is above and beyond and I’m talking about what they had back then. people who run this world are liars and deceivers.

I appreciate your comment and glad that it came across as a true exploration. There are so many questions surrounding this event along with a plethora of theories and wanted to confirm the details for myself. Figured it would be best to document and show the process along the way. Glad you enjoyed it - much more to come.

It's important to know that there are actually multiple lakefront parks. There is also the north Island park, a few miles away. For example, did Burnham&co show the federal bigwigs who came to visit the empty north park, when in fact many of these buildings already stood in Jackson Park? Perhaps so they could then pocket the money provided for building the fair? If so then what were these buildings originally for?? As usual more questions, but at least it's a theory.

I'm now 100% sure that the construction itself is fake. Now, whether the actual site of the fair existed, or if it is another composite, and this was a way to both steal money and see how they could fool people, it remains to be seen. Because it's not so much about moving that amount of dirt, or even the bs amount of work and men they should have shown but didn't, but to where did their material go, or the dirt they moved, and it's the lack of said things that for me shows THAT simply didn't happen. What's the story, they did it out of paper mache or something? Sure, and it snows in October. Bah. Also, at the very least 3 of those men were masons, the ones with their hands inside their jackets. I'm beginning to think they are called masons not because of their obsession with the occult and geometry but because they have literally formed our fake reality. Literally, even THEM are inserted on the photo, couldn't they just schedule a reunion to take it, or the one in the office? For all we know, even those people could be fake at this point, but assuming they are at the very least public actors, it's just weird. Same with the other photograph, why not merely show the original? If you have thing to hide, why do this? Maybe that photograph of Colombus came form somewhere else. Was this part also on the old Spanish Empire? Is it possible that they could have constructed it before, or if our history is duplicated as I suspect, that this was originally some kind of Roman (Spanish) Villa or amusement park? That last paragraph not only sounds incredibly threatening but also... suspicious. You make a bunch of very fake and retouched photos and then you go "YES, THIS HAPPENED, THIS IS A FACT! WE WERE VICTORIOUS!" Reality seems to be pointing the other way, and this was fake but they did conquer something, sold a lie, and whatever it was, they were very proud of it. The nations fell to them, whatever they meant.

@Comakino 6 ай бұрын

It's a valid question. The theory that none of it existed at all is possibly the most wild one of all that I've heard, yet I can't discount it.

The guy in back of the room at 30 minutes doesn't look right at all, like he's been composited in. That might be the reason why they wrote that there were 2 visitors in the room.

@raphaelshore6894 Ай бұрын

14:49 first impression was is that the "statue of the republic" in the background that they may have attempted to etch or remove out of the photograph? they may not have entirely been able to without irrevocably damaging the photo, was the statue already there along with some or most of the buildings and was this undertaking more of a restoration project than construction from the ground up? Makes more sense to think that it was restoration project, or maybe even just a fresh coat of paint on the buildings that were already there...especially considering the short timeframe this whole project was completed...(undesirable swampland to magnificent city with infrastructure!!) A lot if not all of the construction photos are obviously staged, altered, or manipulated, or completely manufactured in some way...

I don't live in Chicago but I've spent 0a great deal of time there. I believe the railroad tracks overpass shown in the image which you hover over at 41 minutes it's still there. I'll look on Google Maps but it would be More helpful if someone from Chicago could take a look at this.

This is truly what is required in many cases - boots on the ground. If it was possible to correspond with someone to investigate certain areas it would make for an excellent addition to these presentations. I have a list of sites that need investigation.

I have to wonder that at a time when photography was relatively new, people we're curious, so tended to stand still or look unnatural. I'm not saying that there isn't something unusual going on, I'm just saying that that might also be factored in.

@LatentLexicon 6 ай бұрын

Quite interesting and very possible. You can see this type of curiousness with some of the earliest footage of trams going through cities. Motion pictures were relatively new and people are genuinely interested - In some cases stand and stare.
