Many young, healthy men went off and died world wide, the women stayed home, rationed and made supplies.
September 2, 1945, the Second World War ends. The petroleum fueled industrial "baby-boom," for the ruling class elite rulers of the United States and its allies begins. Mass consumption of goods and services for "cheap... " because petroleum fueled the world and it was "cheap."
May 14, 1948, the establishment of the State of Israel. "So the "Messiah" can come, resurrect the dead and we can all fight!"
June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, to present: The "Korean Conflict." While the others were killing themselves on the Korean peninsula,the French military was losing the colony of Vietnam. With countless "civil" and proxy wars threw out the world, in the name of "Democracy." With VERY little change...
In the 1960 and 70's: While the United Kingdom celebrated it's cheap "petrol" prosperity era, The United States suffered from civil unrest, large manufacturing beginning to decline... the ruling elite thought invading Vietnam would be a "good idea." by using the least desireable people, to be addicts and die, so the can keep making more money, from: Guns, blood and heroin! Ending in: O.P.E.C., INFLATION... people nursed on MASS CONSUMPTION and FEAR... got cut off. Muscle cars starved and died. And what happens, when you "cut people off?" It's rude.
P.S. The "war on Drugs," is a war for drugs, to tax and control... the same ones.
The 1980's: Reagan/Thatcher; no more unions, pensions, social welfare programs, retirement... just hard work, military, credit cards and faith! Tell YOUR KIDS to: Have babies, debt... HUGE EGO's and ASSES, wile being GIANT ASSES!
Because: Big hair, tele-evangelical, coke-whores CAN'T BE WRONG!
The 1990's: "You got mail," the internet is now declassified. Grunge, Clintons, Bushes, British Prime Ministers... bank deregulations, inflated: Sub prime mortgages, student loans and credit cards are set up to explode all over everyone, to pay the ruling elite more taxes... in the name of "freedom!"
The Millennium: A continuation of the culmination of the absurdity played upon the occupants of this planet, as previously mentioned and Y2K.
In conclusion: If you were born as late as the 1980's or 1990's to present, this should give you a better idea of "your world." For those who now the details, this is just the cliff note version of "under the white wash."
