Tyrants fear young minds reading old books…..
This project presents the facts of reality so further research and informed decisions can be made. Society is deliberately formatted to trick productive men into sacrificing themselves for the good of the herd. Many methods are deployed for this and the overwhelming theme is men are lied to. History is covered up. People ignore biology to argue for what makes them feel good instead of uncomfortable facts. These behaviors are refused by those examining reality for how it actually is, instead of what would makes us feel good. This information is presented as an overview avoiding jargon. Illustrations, graphs, and internet links are used as references although many ideas contained within this writing are uncited conclusions any reasonable person will arrive at if enough time was devoted to their pondering. This tome is intended to be an ongoing life’s work for the author and is broken into four parts.
1. What Always Has Been: Fundamental principles of reality that can be applied in any setting of the human experience. Some content goes without references and should be treated as common knowledge. Information in this section is intended to be just as relevant in the distant future as it is now. Those with an expect background on these topics will find simplification and lack of jargon. This is the most vague yet practical section.
2. What Was: Timeline of current affairs as they evolved. The exact place and time of events is insignificant compared to the conditions present and why they were this way. This is the most plain section although books can be written on each of these topics.
3. What Is: Current environment from the viewpoint of the United States presented by listing trends and statistics. This section is flexible and in the distant future may be combined with the previous section.
4. What Will Become: Results for current trends left unchanged.
CAUTION: The following material covers topics such as dehumanization, ego death, rape, and suicide. Reader discretion is advised and this content is intended for adults only.

Peasants in the medieval era had more time off from laboring than the average worker in the 2000s because labor was only done when weather permitted, and religious institutions declared many holidays to keep the masses from rebelling.

The Salem Witch Trials of the 1689 was a period of hysteria where people, mostly women, were falsely accused of witchcraft. Testimonies against the accused person’s lifestyle and superstitions such as dreams were often all the evidence given. The death penalty was also sought. Comments on the event from the president of Harvard were “It were better that ten suspected witches should escape than one innocent person be condemned.” Only when the wife of the state’s governor was questioned about witchcraft was the sham court dissolved.

Only adult white male property owners of the dominant religion could vote in colonial America before the United States was officially founded (pre-1770s). The logic of having only free men with property ownership vote was because they had a stake in society and were responsible for the tax base. The combination of being both free and owning land was referred to as being a “freeholder.” An English lawyer described those without both freedom and property as they “are in so mean a situation as to be esteemed to have no will of their own.” Freeholders were approximately between 10 and 20 percent of the population.
(Note: This 10 to 20 percent of the population recognized as eligible to vote is similar to slightly more than 20 percent of earners being net taxpayers in early 2000s of the United States.)

Pathways to United States citizenship were made available in the 1790s (Naturalization Act of 1970) for free white men of “good character” with a two-year residency requirement. It was possible to become a citizen without gaining voting rights, because property requirements were still in effect during this time.
Changes in law during the 1790s and 1800s slowly removed property requirements for voting. From 1856 onward, all white men could vote in the United States regardless of property ownership.

Innovations in the late 1800s to mid 1900s led to increases in life expectancy. Those with the highest influence include:
Toilets easily segregating bodily waste from living areas
Pasteurization reducing foodborne illnesses
Antibiotics and vaccines reducing fatalities from infections
Synthetic fertilizers and the Green Revolution increasing food security
Blood transfusions reducing fatalities from trauma

Women got the right to vote in 1920 through the 19th Amendment. This enabled women to influence men through government expansion of welfare and civil rights.
Demand increased for United States industry during the 1940s because developed countries (Europe and Japan) suffered a combination of destroyed infrastructure and workforce reduction due to WWII. Wages for manufacturing jobs were 50% higher in 1944 compared to 1939.

The Second Red Scare, also knows as McCarthyism, hysteria after World War II through the 1950s had people accused of being either communist or sympathizing with communists. People were found guilty of federal crime through the Smith Act Trials despite no crime being committed, communist party membership was a crime by itself. Attorneys for the defendants lost their legal licenses and legal professionals throughout the country rarely helped those accused of communist thought crimes because of this. Senator McCarthy was known for calling people to testify on their affiliations with communism then changing the subject or increasing scrutiny when it became obvious there was no threat. People feared speaking out against McCarthy because it would be viewed as un-American. The House Un-American Activities Committee used its ability to subpoena as a way of intimidating people, from fear of being required to testify before this congressional committee. McCarthy criticized the Army to where officers testified of their loyalty and the organization’s steadfast approach to its duty. McCarthy emphasized that someone from the Army’s legal team had at one point employed a junior lawyer with past affiliation to the communist party. After relentless questioning about this junior lawyer in spite of a clean record, the Army’s lawyer responded with “Have you no sense of decency?”

The first moon landing occurred in 1969. This means in less than 100 years, civilization went from horses being the primary means of travel to landing on the moon. Thomas Edison applied for the light bulb patent in 1880, meaning less than 100 years passed between the adoption of electricity and this event. With this as a standard of innovation, there has been technological stagnation ever since second wave feminism became institutionalized in the 1960s with the Civil Rights Act and Equal Pay Act. While we may marvel at the modern state of phones, computers, internet, and TV; these things were all invented before 1970.

Second-wave feminism starting in the 1960s brought an array of societal changes to the United States:
Birth control as a pill was approved by the FDA in 1960. This enabled women to delay pregnancy in exchange for other goals such as college and careers.

Passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 meant employers were required to pay women the same as their male coworkers.

Title IX in 1964 expanded female access to college education.

Single mothers became more common starting in the 1960s. African Americans experienced the highest percentage of children born to single mothers compared to Hispanics and whites during this time.

California is recognized as the first state to allow no-fault divorce and Ronald Reagan (a Republican) signed the law in 1969. No-fault divorce allows divorce without evidence of an objective wrongdoing. There is debate over what, exactly, defines “no-fault” because some states before 1970 allowed divorce if sworn statements of abuse or abandonment were given. No matter what definition of “no-fault” is used, all 50 states adopted their own no-fault divorce laws by 1994.

The national rate of divorce significantly increased as access to divorce became easier in the 1970s.

-------
In relation to debate on defining “no-fault” divorce, before California’s official no-fault divorce law, divorces could be granted if testimony of abuse was given. Women frequency used this with similar allegations. An Associate Justice from the Supreme Court of California remarked on this, “Every day, in every superior court in the state, the same melancholy charade was played: the "innocent" spouse, generally the wife, would take the stand and, to the accompanying cacophony of sobbing and nose-blowing, testify under the deft guidance of an attorney to the spousal conduct that she deemed "cruel."

People began to marry later in life after second wave feminism in the 1960s encouraged women to forgo marriage in exchange for pursuing higher education and a career.

Women entering the workforce after second-wave feminism in the 1960s increased the supply of labor and decreased the need of women to rely on husbands for income.

United States private sector labor union membership steadily declined after 1970, matching the disconnect between productivity and wages as free market price discovery of labor decreased.

Up until the 1970s, the United States was a net exporter of goods, requiring workers to make these goods. The economy became a net importer in the 1970s and this reduced middle class factory jobs.

Satanic Panic hysteria of the 1980s and 1990s was brought by Christians making false crime accusations against those with counter culture lifestyles. Police were trained to recognize roleplaying games and heavy metal music as signs of violence through Satanic worship. This movement also brought about the most expensive criminal trial in United States history, ending with all charges dropped although the defendant already spent 5 years in prison from only allegations. Proctor and Gamble, a household goods company, redesigned its logo after people alleged its original design with 13 stars was related to devil worship.

Inflation is historically greater in areas receiving government subsidy, although it should be noted that individuals without welfare are effected most because they pay full price.

Studies on intelligence by race and gender consistently show there are differences between groups. This field of research has been heavily censored since these findings oppose equality movements of the 2010s. Additional research and publication has been avoided by scientists because it would put their careers at risk. Three principles are concluded based on IQ distributions by race and gender:
1. When comparing races, East Asians as a group have the highest IQ average followed by whites and lastly blacks.
2. Men as a group have a higher average IQ than women.
3. Men as a group have a higher IQ variance compared to women. This means men are more likely to have an abnormally high or low IQ.

The Republican National Convention in 2012 denied candidate Ron Paul his speaking time despite meeting its requirements. This was debated because the forerunner, Mitt Romney, disagreed with giving a platform of speech to someone with opposing ideals. Delegate requirements were changed after votes were cast but before the event, making the Ron Paul count conveniently short of the new requirement.
