The People’s Holopedia, founded in 2040 by Les Nouveaux Philosophes, was an outgrowth of the net-based People’s Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, which was begun in the first years of the 21st century. Although discredited by the Authorities of the time as providing unreliable information, the Wikipedia proved to be a powerful attempt by ordinary citizens to pursue the truth free from Establishment bias.
For the past four decades, holo-citizens have been invited to make contributions to the People’s Holopedia from their own knowledge and experience in order to provide a counterbalance to “authorized encyclopedias," which the Nouveaux Philosophes and many others regard as highly biased propaganda from world authorities. During the “dark ages" of censorship (2045-present), government interception of the People’s Holopedia has made it increasingly difficult for ordinary citizens to access or contribute to it, but it is hoped that continuously re-holocasted versions of it by courageous independent thinkers will have kept it alive in the holosphere, so that present and future generations may find it and have access to an alternate view of the tumultuous 21st century and the pivotal events that radically transformed life on Earth .
Anyone who is reading this version at any time in history is invited to contribute new entries or suggestions for corrections or additions to current entries. Please include the year in which you made your contribution. Rest assured that your identity and Holopod address will be secure.

Concerning the Entry in a Brief History of the USNA at "2027– New nations and city-states.... Idaho and Montana merged, forming The Aryan Nation, a largely rural, military nation of white supremacists" :
It is likely that the Aryan Nation was aided in this by the militant Mormon Fundamentalists who established secessionist communities in Utah and Arizona in the late 20th century, in order to carry on polygamous sexual enslavement of women unimpeded by the U.S. government of the time. See Jon Krakuaer's account "Under the Banner of Heaven" for details of that period. It is likely that the fundamentalist sects of Mormonism prevailed in the increasingly violent struggles with assimilated mainstream Mormons after 2010, particularly after Salt Lake City became uninhabitable with the collapse of AC and water in the deserrt climate, and contamination from uranium mining spread through the region. Reports that the Angel Moroni appeared in the vicinity of the former Zion National Park preserve have not been substantiated.
We have been receiving all kinds of responses and links regarding Jon Krakauer's "Under the Banner of Heaven." We will include these in an entry on Mormonism.
