New Library of Congress entry {sub cache albedo}#398722WW3
My fellow Americans, good evening.
You’ve all seen the videotape left behind by the former President.
All that we can say for now is, we are investigating the circumstances behind its discovery and we are testing it for authenticity.
The vice president’s body was found near Mar-a-lago, along with 4 of his secret service detail not long after the discovery of the videotape.
Currently, the Speaker of the House is under arrest by the FBI.
These are all things we already know.
In the coming hours, I will be releasing the full and unlikely details of how I came to be here, now, addressing you.
But first, a number of hard truths need spoken.
Too many of our great cities lie burning.
We mourn for New York, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles and Seattle.
San Francisco, Portland, Boston, and most of the lower eastern seaboard continue the fight. Know that we are with you and help is coming soon. Texas, Louisiana, and the entire Florida panhandle remain under US control, along with most of the heartland. Fighting is especially fierce in Arizona and southern California. There is no word from Alaska yet.
The good news is, our would be conquerors do not appear to have used nuclear weapons. This means they are interested in occupation and subjugation.
They picked the wrong country to invade.
For now, my fellow citizens, know that the fight has only begun.
We will prevail. We must prevail. So that government of the people, by the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
Thank you. Stay safe. Help one another. More information is coming soon.
If you’re inclined towards prayer, pray for us all.
Good night.

My fellow Citizens, good evening.
It is with great pleasure and satisfaction I can announce to you that the war is over. If it were not for the people’s uprising in China and Russia, I fear I would not be able to make this statement today.
I have recently finished speaking with my counterparts in both Russia and China and similar announcements are being made to their respective citizens as we speak.
Here are the terms for the cessation of hostilities and a return to peace.
Here in the USSA, all territories occupied by Russian and Chinese troops and their allies are hereby withdrawn, unless they choose to remain and become citizens. Information for those who wish to do so can be found on the digital square.
All citizens and allies of the USSA [see addendum] are similarly withdrawn with the same exception.
All space based operations are forthwith joint ventures. Orbital weapons are hereby outlawed in perpetuity.
The United Secular States of America hereby proclaims the end of World War III.
We mourn not only our dead, but the billion around the globe.
Our already fragile planet teeters on the brink.
We can no longer afford war.
We can no longer afford ignorance and irresponsibility.
The fate of our species is at risk.
Fortunately, we have all we need to turn disaster into triumph.
Fusion power is a reality.
Nanotechnology and robotics can repair much of the damage given time.
Our artificially intelligent partners are already working with us to salvage and repair that which we can.
Genetic rejuvenation will ensure that the survivors of this, we hope humanity’s last war, will look back 100 years from now and smile on what we have accomplished.
Right now it is a race between invention and calamity. It has always been so. We will make it.
But in order for that to happen, we must grow up.
That means we are going to do some things a little differently.
The full list is available in the digital square. For the next 100 years, men are barred from executive positions, including the one I now occupy, unless by special fiat [see addendum].
Males between the ages of 18 and 28 are allowed to purchase and own weapons of mass lethality with the following caveat: permission by the last, not current, person you were in a romantic relationship with. On a rotating basis. AI examination is a permissible substitution.
Separation of church and state will be absolute. Violent eschatologies are no longer permitted in the halls of power.
Members of congress will be representative of the spectrum of human skills and training. No more than 10% of congress will be lawyers or business people. Citizens with a personal wealth qualifying them in the top 15% are barred from office. All transnational corporate entities will make their A.I.’s code available to the governing body. Direct lobbying of government [see addendum] is prohibited.
Voting is mandatory. Henceforth July 4th, will not only be independence day, it is also voting day when applicable.
Citizens are responsible for basic civic knowledge and current events which apply, as mitigated and tested by your digital assistant [see addendum].
Votes are tallied in the digital square, under worldwide supervision.
World citizenship voting rules can be found in the digital square. Revised federal schedules can be found in the digital square.
We commit ourselves to the restoration of our planet and ourselves as stewards of all life, not just our own.
The cradle is nice but we can’t stay here forever.
To this end, the USSA, Russia and China, commit to reallocating military expenditure towards a shared project of widespread human presence in our solar system. This is not only a lofty goal, but a necessary one.
The war has cost us all heavily and frankly we need the resources. Initial plans can be found in the digital square. Citizens are encouraged to join these efforts. We need each and every one of you.
A basic minimum income is hereby instituted. No citizen will live in poverty. This does not free you from your duties as a citizen or a human being [see addendum].
Lifelong education is a right. Pursue your dreams so they may lift us all.
There are some of you who will chafe at the coming changes. You will not be subjugated or forced to live as second class citizens. Options are being entertained so you may live your lives according to paths you’ve chosen for yourselves if you find you cannot do so with us.
Our AI partners are working on this. Possible options include, deep sleep until a time of your choosing, passage on an O’Neil colony, or even a section of the globe where you can pursue your own truth, unmolested by the rest. We earnestly hope you choose to help us according to your faith.
You will not be permitted to threaten the species any longer however. The closest religious creed of the USSA is the golden rule.
Transitions are hard. We will get through it.
For now, celebrate my fellow citizens. The war is over.
I believe that only those who do not seek power are fit to exercise it. To that end, my resignation is immediate. All executive power is hereby transferred to our new President. Please show her the same support and unflagging efforts you afforded to me.
Thank you.
Peace to you all.
Good night.
