Introduction by the Historian

As I write this, it has been five years since the Central Intelligence Agency confirmed what the world had already suspected: that the CIA had carried out Project Sparta. This project directly resulted in the nuclear bombing of Atlanta on August 21, 1985. In the years subsequent of that attack, there was a gradual release of much previously secret information, the first domino in the collapse of an entire global structure by 1991. It is hard to overstate the importance of these northern Virginia transmasculine individuals known as The Spartan Housewives of NoVa.

Why did the CIA do Project Sparta? Why did they think this experiment was a good idea? They did not have the foresight that we do. They were reacting in a way that seemed reasonable with the information they had. The WIDESHUT Reel^[1], the sixty-six minute pornographic film discovered in the mail of the US Ambassador to Austria, seems comical now, but it ignited something dangerous in the minds of the powerful people on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Tension and mistrust was high back then between the USA and the Soviet Union. The Soviets could not be allowed to be better at anything the Americans could do, not only in categories that were clearly military, but also in such fields as art, movies, literature, chess, hockey, and the subject of this book, Forced Masculinization (forcemasc).

Project Sparta drew the attention of various organizations, including the KGB, the Elders of Zion, the Homintern, the Fourth Reich, the Court of Hollywood, both the governments of Atlantis and of Mu, and of course the Rose Knights. Though the CIA wanted to keep this experiment a secret, once the proverbial cat was let out of the bag, it tore around the room causing an international ruckus.

Does the fact that all twelve of the "housewives" in the Northern Virginia set turned out to be trans make the experiment a success? Would it have been better if they had been left to their own devices? Though the evidence of their transmasculinity seems obvious when you examine them, it is unlikely they would have transitioned if not for this odd turn of events.

Some look to Dr. Levi Levi (aka Dr. Johan Engelbert), the charismatic head of this experiment, and lay the blame entirely on his forcemasc fetish. However, when looking into his psychology, Dr. Levi Levi was motivated by a cause greater than his own personal desires. In addition, his gender identity cannot be boiled down to simple cis man. Though there is much evidence he had the fetish people accuse him of having, there were other ideologies at play. He is a complicated figure that deserves reevaluation.

The Historian has received a collection of letters, journals, and other documents from the people involved in this experiment. This collection will be annotated with introductions and footnotes that will explaining the context. Though at this point, the real surnames the twelve Spartan Housewives used in 1953 is widely known to the public, the Historian will use the pseudonyms created by Dr. Levi Levi and replace all usage of those married surnames with the unifying codenames. The Historian has made a decision of which pronouns will be used for each person involved based on an educated analysis of their gender. Now, for the first time, the full story of the Spartan Housewives of NoVa can be told.
