The Most Dangerous Lie in America

The Most Dangerous Lie in America

Legally, you are not.

This is not rhetoric. It is a matter of record.

Time to ignore the political theatre of ICE, vaguely blaming billionaires and capitalism, when these are not the real culprits. It's patriarchy, all men benefit from the economics of female enslavement and male violence that enforces it. Wd are the carrot. This must end.

Even the Constitution does not guarantee police protection for individuals. Courts have repeatedly ruled that law enforcement is not legally obligated to protect any one person from harm. Women who report threats and violence are therefore navigating a system that can choose to act—or not act—at its discretion.

Furthermore, when police fail to intervene, women are often left to fend for themselves while the predator continues unimpeded. These legal realities directly contradict the promises of safety protocols and illuminate a systemic failure.


We are told—constantly—that women are protected.

We are handed safety protocols like talismans: call the police, get a restraining order, document everything, leave quietly, go to court, trust the system. These instructions are repeated so often they begin to sound like law, like gravity, like something inevitable and true.

They are not.

They are a script. And millions of women have now proven—publicly, painfully, in real time—that the script does not work.


The Protocols Are Fake

If the protocols worked, women would be safe.

Instead, women who follow them are stalked, bankrupted, silenced, discredited, retaliated against, and often killed. The protocols function less as protection and more as a delay mechanism—one that transfers risk entirely onto the woman while absolving institutions of responsibility.

Call the police. They take a report—or they don’t. They minimize, misclassify, or dismiss. They warn the predator. They log paperwork while violence escalates.

Get a restraining order. Which requires confronting your abuser in court, revealing your address, your routines, your vulnerabilities. Which is violated routinely, with little consequence. Which becomes evidence against you if you survive long enough to need help again.

Document everything. So the burden of proof, safety, memory, and survival all rest on the woman—while the predator continues uninterrupted.

These are not safety measures. They are liability shields.


Women Are Calling Out—Loudly

Scroll any social platform. The pattern is unmistakable.

Concrete statistics illustrate the scale:

  • According to the CDC, 1 in 3 women experience some form of intimate partner violence in their lifetime.
  • The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate

Follow the Taxes. They Tell the Truth.

When women speak about patriarchy, we’re told it’s cultural.

When we speak about violence, we’re told it’s private.

But when we follow the money, we find the real operating system.

Every tax dollar we pay — every paycheck deduction, every sales‑tax cent — goes first to the illusion of protection.

Programs designed to look like they defend women while, in practice, keeping us contained, erased, and dependent.

This is not accidental.

It is deliberate design.

The Performance of Protection

911 / Police

Tax‑funded as the first line of “protection,” police routinely dismiss domestic violence as “a family issue,” arrest women for surviving abuse, and harass unhoused women. Courts have ruled repeatedly that police have no legal duty to protect individuals. The optics are law. The reality is intimidation and discretion.

Prosecutors & District Attorneys

Paid to enforce the law, they decline difficult cases, protect the well‑connected, and coerce victims into silence. Conviction rates are padded by easy wins. Justice is not the metric — optics are.

Family & Civil Courts

Publicly funded judges reward coercive men, bankrupt women through procedural abuse, and hand custody to known abusers. Restraining orders replace real protection. Neutrality becomes enforcement of patriarchy.

Hospitals & EMTALA

Federally funded emergency departments now turn away bleeding women for fear of abortion‑related prosecution. Compliance trumps care. Women die in waiting rooms under the banner of “risk management.”

Clinics & Public Health

They medicalize trauma while refusing to report crime. Women are charted, monitored, and discharged — not protected.

Domestic‑Violence Hotlines (HHS / VOCA‑Funded)

These programs exist to “connect victims to services.” In practice, they recite scripts, hand out numbers, and close tickets. They collect referrals — not rescues.

2‑1‑1 Hotlines

Publicly funded and outcome‑free. Success is measured in call volume, not lives saved. Women are routed back into the same dead systems that already failed them.

National Human Trafficking Hotline (Polaris)

Entirely grant‑funded, billed as the nation’s response center. In reality, reports are forwarded to law enforcement and disappear. No follow‑up. No transparency. No rescue. Just data laundering.

Domestic‑Violence Shelters

City and county contracts fund “beds,” not safety. Overcrowded, time‑limited, surveilled, and often unsafe. Women cycle until exhaustion or death.

Victim‑Compensation Programs

Promised restitution. Delivered as denial, delay, and technical rejection. Mercy theater — not justice.

Family‑Justice Centers

County‑funded “one‑stop hubs” that centralize intake without power. Coordination theater with no enforcement authority.

Federal Law Enforcement (FBI, DHS, Secret Service)

These agencies consume billions while protecting predators, not victims. Reports are taken, intelligence is gathered, and women vanish into silence. Even the National Trafficking Hotline admits that FBI follow‑up is rare to nonexistent.

HUD Housing Programs

Marketed as safety nets, they warehouse women alongside known sexual offenders without security or recourse. Complaints are ignored. Danger is normalized.

Libraries & Public Institutions

Funded as sanctuaries, they censor women’s speech. Naming rape is deemed “disruptive.” Bureaucratic compassion becomes enforced silence.

Housing & Homelessness Budgets

Tens of thousands of empty units. Millions in management contracts. Almost no women housed. Vacancy is preserved. Lives are not.

Media Subsidies & Tax Incentives

Public money amplifies patriarchal narratives while algorithmically silencing women who tell the truth. We fund our own erasure.

The Pattern

Every system performs protection.

Every system delivers annihilation.

Success is measured in:

Call logs, not saved lives

Paperwork, not prosecutions

Optics, not outcomes

By design, these systems serve about one percent of actual need — just enough to preserve the illusion of care.

This is bureaucracy as camouflage.

This is murder by administration.

This is the economy of annihilation.

---

Intentional, Not Accidental

These failures repeat too precisely to be coincidence.

Men know women are unsafe.

They know the hotlines fail.

They know the shelters are traps.

They know the courts are hostile.

They built these systems.

They benefit from them.

This is not failure.

It is maintenance.

Silenced Online: When Calling for Help Is Criminalized

Even when women take the desperate step of calling out for help on social media — because there is nowhere else to turn — they are silenced. Platforms that promise connection and community instead enforce invisibility. The cries of endangered women are throttled, hidden, or deleted outright.

For example, at Beth, I shared verified accounts of my ongoing endangerment, documenting threats and the institutions that failed me. Instead of amplifying the warning, the platform restricted my visibility, deleted posts, and flagged content for “violating community standards.” This wasn’t a glitch. It was a mechanism that mirrors the failures of law enforcement: the more real the danger, the more invisible the victim becomes.

These platforms are not neutral. They are active participants in a system that protects abusers, silences survivors, and erases accountability. The more women try to speak, the more the network infrastructure works to bury their testimony — all while public attention and resources are misdirected toward appearances of care.

A Constitutional Vacuum

If every publicly funded institution violates women’s safety, then constitutional rights do not exist in practice.

Equal Protection — nullified

Due Process — inverted

Free Speech — censored

Freedom of Religion — excluded

A constitution that protects only men is no constitution at all.

The Remedy: A Class‑Action Lawsuit by the Women of America

It is time for a precedent‑setting class action — women against the state and the male‑benefiting systems it funds.

This suit must establish that:

1. The U.S. has knowingly funded false‑protection systems that perpetuate gender‑based harm.

2. Male citizens are the primary beneficiaries of this constitutional deprivation.

3. The state has failed its duty to provide equal protection, bodily integrity, and safety.

The goal is structural accountability, restitution, and exposure of the machinery that converts women’s taxes into tools of subjugation.

Closing Declaration

We have paid for our own annihilation long enough.

We hav

e funded the performance of safety while being hunted.

It is time to redirect money, witness, and will toward accountability.

Observed. Archived. Avenged.
