This is a chart of an informal kleptocracy which cloaks itself in the faux finery of democracy and a (rigged) “market” economy.

Back in the day, nations that didn’t qualify as either developed (First World) or developing (Second World) were by default Third World, impoverished, corrupt and what we now refer to as failed states–governments that were incapable of improving the lives of their people and the machinery of governance, generally as a result of corruption and self-serving elites, i.e. kleptocracies.

Is the U.S. slipping into Third World status? While many scoff at the very question, others citing the rise of homelessness, entrenched pockets of abject poverty and the decaying state of infrastructure might nod “yes.”

These are not uniquely Third World problems, they’re symptoms of a status quo that’s fast losing First World capabilities. What characterizes Third World/Failing States…

It seems that even Associated Press writers have been so utterly propagandized by the corrupt vaccine industry that they can’t tell truth from lies anymore. An AP story authored by Gosia Wozniacka andpublished yesterday on Yahoo Newsrepeats an oft-repeatedvaccine industry lie, claiming that mercury has been “phased out” of all vaccines.

“The CDC has phased out a mercury-containing preservative in vaccines as a precautionary measure,” claims the Associated Press story. Unfortunately, that’s simply not true. The claim is utterly false, even according to the CDC itself.

As Natural News has extensively documentedin articles like this one, even the CDC openly admits mercury is still used in vaccines. In fact, the CDC vaccine additives page,found here, repeats this admission that mercury is still used in vaccines.

Furthermore, I have independently tested a flu vaccine in theNatural News…

Mercury tests conducted on vaccines at the Natural News Forensic Food Lab have revealed a shockingly high level of toxic mercury in an influenza vaccine (flu shot) made by GlaxoSmithKline (lot #9H2GX). Tests conducted via ICP-MS document mercury in the Flulaval vaccine at a shocking 51 parts per million, or over 25,000 times higher than the maximum contaminant level of inorganic mercury in drinking water set by the EPA.(1)

The tests were conducted via ICP-MS using a 4-point mercury calibration curve for accuracy. Even then, the extremely high level of mercury found in this flu shot was higher than anything we’ve ever tested, including tuna and ocean fish which are known for high mercury contamination.

In fact, the concentration of mercury found in this GSK flu shot was 100 times higher than the highest level of mercury we’ve ever tested in contaminated fish…

In an interview with the Hamburg daily Abendblatt here, retired German climate researcher Prof. Hans von Storch commented on the global climate debate, saying “Greta’s message is ridiculous” and that “Greta Thunberg’s demand that we panic has something of an en of world sect.”

Dismisses “world doom” climate scenarios

According to the Abendblatt, Hans von Storch, the former director of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Centre for Materials and Coastal Research, warns in the interview of the consequences of global warming but at the same time “urges an objective debate and thinks little of the scenarios of world doom that are often drawn at present.”

Playing into the hands of the hard right

The retired professor also warns that “an increasing polarization on this topic could also harm democracy, and so benefit the right…

October 28, 2019 “Information Clearing House” – For about 70 years the CIA has been undermining a free press.  It began with Operation Mockingbird, a Cold War operation against communism.  The CIA recruited journalists into a propaganda network.  The CIA paid journalists to write fake stories or to publish stories written by the CIA in order to control explanations that served the agency’s agendas.  Student and cultural organizations and intellectual magazines, such as Encounter, were suborned into the CIA’s propaganda network.  Thanks to the German journalist, Udo Ulfkotte, we know that every European journalist of any significance is a CIA asset.  In 1977 Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame wrote in Rolling Stone that the CIA “has secretly bankrolled numerous foreign press services, periodicals and newspapers—both English and foreign language—which provided excellent cover for CIA operatives.”  Like most other people, Western journalists were all too willing to sell out their integrity…

“ONLY A SERIOUS LEGAL CHALLENGE
CAN IMMEDIATELY SUSPEND THE
CATASTROPHIC MILITARY DEPLOYMENT
OF 5G!”

— Longtime Personal Injury Attorney & Environmental Advocate

“Let’s see them square off with a phalanx of personal injury attorneys and cadre of environmental lawyers who will be marshalling through a $1 Trillion Class Action Lawsuit.”

State of the Nation

That Big Telecom in tandem with government officials really thought they could get way with the 5G roll-out is the greatest example of raw hubris and unfettered arrogance ever displayed in broad daylight.

Truly, that the vested corporate interests along with their enabling governmental representatives attempted to arrogate such sweeping powers unto themselves reflects an extraordinary level of endemic corruption and serial criminality.

The chutzpah and recklessness and audacity and insanity associated with the ongoing nationwide roll-out of 5G exceeds anything ever seen in the history of the United States of America.

Alphabet’s Google Being Sued for
Censoring Conservative Content
as Corporate Policy 

State of the Nation

As incredible as it may sound, Google actually disabled AdSense on the SOTN website for posting our own articles.  This occurred on March 2, 2017 as seen in the email screen-capture posted below.

Let’s try that again: the StateoftheNation2012.com website was penalized for publishing an article originally written by SOTN.

The Google email sent to SOTN (see the following screenshot) makes clear that the alleged offense to their program policies was “scraping”, which never occurred.  How, pray tell, can SOTN be in violation by posting our own content.  This is absurd and unlawful.  It’s also in violation of Google AdSense policy, as well as a flagrant form of censorship.

KEY POINT: The alleged transgression cited by Google was “scraping”.   Scraping occurs when a website lifts a story or post from another website owner and…
