Or that the President's name would be Obama.

(Note the prevalence of Anglo-Norman names from all parts of the Americas and elsewhere.)

Fourth.

2 in 2008 because they messed up the first one. Official one on Sunday and then #4 on Monday.

details details...this is the future and I still don't have a flying car!

What I saw in this program was the imperial dream of the Republicans. How do we think "the United States of the Americas" was created, and why would its capitol still be Washington? Of course, they were in 1901 in the process of running the Philippine Genocide they called "the Philippine Insurrection", turning the island of Panay into a "howling wilderness" with 25,000 Filipinos killed there alone by "good American boys." And I believe that happened about the same time as pig MicKinley's second inauguration.

Some things about Republican scum never change.

The problem is that this describes an inauguration that takes place in *2001*. Of course, the implied imperialism ("[...]118 States and 99 Territories[...]") is right at home with the idiot who *did* get (s)elected that year. Dubya may not have added 68 states and 94 Territories to what we had in 2001, but he did get us into one (undeclared) war more than McKinley did ( both which lasted *FAR* longer than the 3 months, 2 weeks and 4 days of the Spanish-American War -- The War in Afghanistan [Operation Enduring Freedom], of course, being ongoing) and, unlike McKinley, utterly wrecked the U.S. Economy while doing so.

Well, at least they did nail the reign of Czar Vladimir.

Page 85, "The Inauguration n the Year 2001" ... the work of turning the Arctic current aside, off the coast of Labrador, so as to enable the Gulf Stream to change the climate, be begun at once, ...

George McKinley Barrington, of the State of Ontario, was today at high invested with the office of President of the United States of the Americas. The ceremonies attending the inauguration were the most elaborate in the history of this country, and were made the more significant as being the first ceremony of the kind in the Twenty-first Century. Not less than $10,000,000 was expended on the celebration, and more than 10,000,000 people witnessed and participated in the exercises. President Barrington is the tenth Chief Magistrate to be elected to the new term of eight years, and he was accorded such a reception as has never before been witnessed in this city.

The inaugural parade was thirty-six miles in length, and despite the fact that those participating were carried in aeroplanes, aerialautos, and other conveyances from the Mansion of Executives to the Capitol, the line occupied more than three hours in passing the State aerialtrans, and slightly delayed the programme as originally proposed. The State aerialtrans left the Mansion of Executives at 9 o'clock, and was stationed at the head of the Avenue of the Americas, down which, at an altitude of about 300 feet from the pavement, the parade approached. With President Harrington in the airship were Vice President Harris, ex-President Brown, and ex-Vice President Thompson, the members of the going Cabinet, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Chamber of Territories, and a number of other Government officials. Mr. Sterling, Secretary of State for the Philippines, was unable to attend, owing to a severe hurricane on the Pacific, which blew his aerialtrans from its course and compelled him to make the trip via Cape Horn with great delay.

Every city in the Union was represented in the parade by one or more conveyances, and the decorations were unique and beautiful. Among the finer displays were those of clubs from Sitka, Santaigo de Chile, Montreal, Rio de Janerio, Mexico City, Havana, Manila, Honolulu, Quebec, St. Thomas, Chicago, and New York.

Detachments from forts all over the country occupied the war machines, which made a brilliant spectacle as they swept past the reviewing air ship. The new 30-inch gun was in evidence on many of the war machines, and during a drill later in the day a shell was thrown into the Chesapeake bay, outside Baltimore.

At the new Capitol the scene was one of activity. From early in the morning until the noon hour the crowds had accumulated until nearly a half million people had been packed into the great glass-covered arena which fronts the east facade of the new Capitol building. From the Department of Transportation on the right to the Department of the Press on the left was a solid line of spectators which taxed the enormous Crystal Auditorium to its utmost capacity. Four great automatic bands were placed in the corners of the space and, operated by buttons, simultaneously rendered a programme of popular music.

The route of the parade compelled the line to turn at the Department of Oil Lands, and, after cutting across Hanna Avenue, proceeded down the Avenue of the States to the State aerialtrans. Then, headed by the President's conveyance, the line returned over the Avenue of the States to the Capitol. As the President passed over each of the State arches he was saluted by a volley of electrical bombs, the number of shots designating the order in which each State was admitted into the Union. The appearance of the President was the signal for a great demonstration on the part of the spectators who crowded the route in airships, and watched the line from the gardens on the roofs of the buildings along the Avenue of the Americas and the Avenue of the States. The ceremony passed off without a single mishap, and Grand Marshal Burns and his staff of 1,000 aides are to be commended for keeping the atmosphere between the avenues clear of conveyances. The police and medical aeroplanes were ever in evidence, and the corps performed efficient work.

On reaching the Capitol the President and his party landed at the public station on top of the dome and proceeded in elevators to the State wing, where the new official was formally greeted by the members of the Senate, House of Representatives and Chamber of Territories. It was a distinguished throng -- the forty members of the passing Cabinet, the Supreme and Vice Supreme Courts, the 336 Senators, 860 Representatives, 99 Territorial Delegates and scores of statesmen, and Army and Navy officials being present. Secretary Garner, of the Department of Telegraphs and Cables, was the first to greet Mr. Barrington, and presented him with sympthacables from the Congress of the British Republic; President Guerland, of the United States of Germany; King Louis XXI. of France; President Arcolie, of the Republic of Italy, and President Cinerot of the Republic of Spain and Portugal. No word was received from Russia, owing to the recent death of the Czar.

Escorted by hundreds of statesmen, the new and the old Presidents made their way to the platform facing the Crystal Auditorium. The four great mechanical bands struck up the national anthem and the vast gathering cheered itself hoarse. As the candidate of the American party and the choice of all three Houses of Congress, Mr. Barrington is very popular, and received a royal ovation. After taking the oath of office the new President delivered his inaugural address, which will be found on another page. His speech was remarkable for its brevity, and yet for the numerous recommendations made. Among these is the suggestion that the work of turning the Arctic current aside, off the coast of Labrador, so as to enable the Gulf Stream to change the climate, be begun at once, and that the anti-trust law prohibiting any corporation from making profits in excess of six per cent, per year, be strictly enforced.

At the close of his address, President Barrington was escorted to the Mansion of the States by the Governors of the 118 States and 91 Territories. Here a great banquet was spread in the main hall, covers being laid for 25,000 persons. All of the Government officials and the heads of the Army and Navy were present, and many notable addresses were delivered though the phonelegraph.

Late in the afternoon a carnival was held on the lower pavement of the Avenue of the Americas. The spectators were arranged on the upper malleable glass pavement and in the lower floods of the buildings along the thoroughfare. The glass canopy over the Avenue was handsomely decorated with silken streamers, while the flags of all the Republics were plentifully distributed.

The programme included a parade of the President's Guard (foot) and the "crews of the naval submarine and aerial vessels Hector, Dewey, Schley, Sampson, Buenos Ayres and Holland. The evolution of the aerial forces with the new meteorite guns were deservedly applauded, and the great tubes were raised and lowered by the Operation of the gas in the jackets. The Pneumatic street railway lines were stopped on all surface tracks and the avenues kept clear.

Later, at 16 o'clock, and lasting until 18 o'clock, an "Old Century" parade was made the feature, and created much merriment. In the grotesque line were ancient vehicles known as "automobiles," "locomobiles" and "glides." Other features were "bicycles" from the Museum of the Americas, and an electric street car from the New York State Museum. Ancient steam engines found in the States of Manitoba and Assiniboia were conveyed on pneumatic drags.

To-night the Inaugural concert and ball is in progress in the Park of the Presidents. The scene is a brilliant one, the acres of bright-colored glass canopy being reflected from above, by varicolored lipthalite lamps, on the tinted glass flooring. Twenty thousand couples participated in the programme of dances, and many distinguished foreigners who arrived late in the afternoon by private air yachts were present.

In the city the avenues were all beautifully illuminated by means of lipthalite lights, which shone through the glass sides of buildings and residences, and caused diamond rays to form in the center of the thoroughfares. A night parade of aerialtrans and other conveyances was another feature, all of the vessels being illuminated and making a wonderful spectacle. The programme for to-morrow includes a parade of National Militia, 100,000 strong, and submarine vessel war tactics in the Potomac river. The celebration will continue until March 8, when the President will be formally installed by Congress.

Hundreds of thousands of people continue to pour into the city. The Southern, Northern, Central and Trans-Pneumatic railways are operating more than one hundred trains per hour from San Francisco, Vancouver, Rio, and other main junctions, while the aerial transcontinental lines are taxed to their utmost capacity.

The Inaugural Committee is hard at work and accommodations are plentiful. The Great Central Hotel alone had 19,000 rooms reserved and ready this morning, and the other public quarters are well filled. All in all, the celebration is worthy of the new century and will make a striking comparison with the Inauguration of March 4, 1901, an account of which is reproduced elsewhere in this issue.

Ah yes, a wonderful imperial dream, perfect for the times after picking a war of choice with Spain to pick off Cuba, McKinley's major accomplishment. Naming an avenue after the scumbag Mark Hanna would be like having Karl Rove Avenue there today.

President George McKinley Barrington's 2001 Inaugural Address (Full Text)

George McKinley Barrington takes the stage, to deliver brief remarks, so forward looking and simple that great crowd understands completely from the uplifting man.

Department of Oil Lands - Energy Business is the only business of the nation, as all other business are but subsidiary consumers to energy production.

National Militia - Expanded into defense of all peoples, living on distant Oil Lands, far and wide around the world, and as you may notice the security stations are everywhere, just to protect you.

Arctic current turned aside enabling Gulf Stream to change the climate - The Pacific and the Atlantic to be joined to regulate El Nino and La Nina at will, the Antarctic lands mined for ice and cleared for reflecting farming, the level of the seas controlled by adding ice to Greenland.

Hurricane on the Pacific - Doused by the Arctic current as we direct the seas to heat when needed and to keep cool when needed, the climate under the control of man.

War machines - Preside over endless desert land protecting the Oil beneath, and keeping those places for sand mining, as glass make the world shine.

The meteorite guns - Will become the means to reach the skies, where we will beam as light phonelegraph communications without poles as trees become harder to find.

Department of Transportation - Reports data from the autonomous system, each conveyance signaling, the important factors to all unimpeded flow of traffic, aerialtrans landing not singly but as a flock, slower cross traffic will not stop as speed is controlled to such fineness to eliminate signal devices.

Department of the Press - Expanded to add comment moderator to facilitate civil speech.

Enormous Crystal Auditorium - These great bright places kept clean and fresh by wind mills, louvered to catch the rain and winds, and closed to keep in heat or cold from the Sun's gift of ample energy. Bad weather will boost energy that will change shape, and taming nature from lion to lamb.

Automatic Bands - These sentient robots will create pleasing music for each age group audience, as great crowds dance to music create for and heard just by them, and only the brave of age will listen to the tunes of youth.

Lipthalite Lamps - These are to made wearable, connected to the eye to allow all to sense daylight and nightlight without the expense of room illumination, Eye to light and on to sound and touch wearable's.

President's Address, Inaugural 3001

Well things have changed as the 50th generation has passed since last millennia.

In as much as you all have your cortex pods available for subconscious processing I want to bring to the surface a thousand year old description of the Ancient Americas Ideation (Ideologies of the Eras 1901, 2001).

In the descriptions of the 1901 and 2001 Presidential Inaugural Addresses, we learned that in that time frame about the changes of idea and of concepts that we no longer seriously consider, excepting occasional archeological forums.

The extremes at the beginning of that era were modified from time to time, to meet one ideology or another. The records from that era show that some of these ideas overlapped but the extent seemed to vary over only a few score of years and with great ferocity. Because we have cortex pods we are able to see these extremes and have become used to balancing the facets, often with the amusement give the distance from that era.

One fellow refused to accept a treaty that would have saved millions, much earlier there were leaders failing to approve of government laws over anarchy; another fellow had to see to bind multitudes people together to achieve economic relief over policies of inaction. Extant 1901 documents proposed a single government encompassing a hemisphere is at odds with the then human ability to sort facts and to balance accounts.

The growth of cooperative democracy remained far from successful; disputes were simply rearmed repeatedly often by people unknown to each other and enter in to wars that had not one idea of the outcome.

The dependency of then scare energy resource fossils, first produces a great unrivaled prosperity, but then lost the technological opportunity to add to that prosperity. A fellow then was elected to that great and vast government, but from the first day of the leadership declared government, and in so doing made himself the enemy of what he was leading.

The absence of thinking in the following decades found itself marrying ideas from the 1700's to the technological midwife of the late 1900's It then occurred that the tactic of ruin was widely adopted. To spend unconscionable amount of cash to develop technology that was so powerful that it could not count the cash it was spending, or even account for the effects it was having at taking the government and the economy or even measure or survey the facts needed to understand such a system.

In sum there first was the promise of cooperation decades only to be followed by decades of forced and deliberate failure.

My reason for having this in my address today was to celebrate, to honor the history of genetic technology. It was the efforts of uncounted years that allowed us to clone the genetics of the past. We are today the product of this program, we benefit from having not just the normal human differences, but also the genetics of the past. This president like many others, before me, has genes from all the past presidents back to 1901.

If I want to know how a president from past era would act or did act, I just activate it, and see how one leader who bound people to common cause would act, and since there was always a different view I could turn on the memory of the president who wanted to end government.

I have done that, and I won the election, we have a government that does everything and the government that does nothing.

So I thank the District of Columbia, for being isolated from the former Americas, while we are seen as a giant well-funded think tank. In reality we have the technology to known all that needs to know from those distant areas. The former hemispheric ambitions of 1901, 2001 are being met by technology. Those former states and territories are autonomous, ruled by militia, quaint democracies, and model republics. We are all free peoples and because cortex pods technology allows everyone who wishes to seen into the mind of another, and to share what is their mine, it less is probable that conflict will not be resolved by the collective judgment that is made available at will.

I want to close by giving thanks to those resists turning the cortex pods on, because they benefit from their own creative thoughts, we benefit when their creations are so widely shared. It may seem that the conflicts of the past are gone, they are not but they are being address by our advancing civilization.

Sworn In Twice?

Or we'll end up like Sengoku(Warring States)-era Japan; only instead of feudal Daimyo (Barons), we'll have Corporate Baronies with The President as a figurehead leader and Congress as an ever-scheming, ever-infighting bureaucracy/court. (While the rest of us toil away; growing whatever we can on the polluted, depleted land.)

nope, just a bunch of names for waspy men

As I suspected.

I saw page after page of white guys with mustaches and beards. And one page (p. 63) devoted to "Prominent Colored Members of Inaugural Committees"--still all male, still with lots of facial hair.

I notice that the article that you cite bragged about the excellence of D.C.'s public schools. The program noted that in many cities, public schools were so inferior that "children coming from homes of refinement" did not attend them, whereas Washington had first-rate public schools. Alas--times have changed for the worse in this regard.

Sadly, or maybe hopefully, some things never change.

All old men in charge.

Nevertheless, a fun and optimistic read.
