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…

  1. THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS DEFINITELY YES!!! WE HAVE TOLERATED idol worshipers INTO OUR SOCIETY. ANY COUNTRY THAT CONDUCTS THE MARK OF THE BEAST, WILL NOT ONLY BECOME A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, IT SHALL PROCEED IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL INTO HELL, WHICH IS FAR WORSE THAN A THIRD WORLD.

  2. I HAVE SEEN THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW MANY TIMES. I THINK JERRY SPRINGER AS A BASICLY NICE PERSON; ALTHOUGH, I DID NOT LIKE THE TOPIC OF HIS SHOW AS FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARACTERS THAT WERE ON HIS SHOW, BUT ONE THING THAT THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW DID ACCOMPLISH, IS THAT IT MADE US AWARE OF HOW MANY PERVERTED LIVES PEOPLE LIVE WITHIN OUR SOCIETY. IT WAS A SHOW THAT INDICATED HOW OUR CULTURE WAS AND IS DECAYING MORALLY, AND WE SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE KINDS OF PEOPLE DOING SO AND PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THEM. AT THE END OF HIS SHOW HE ALWAYS ADDED A MORAL TO THE STORY, AND MADE A SUGGESTION TO BETTER OUR LIVES AS TO WHAT NOT TO DO. THE SHOW DID CONTAIN A TREMEDOUS AMOUNT OF DRAMA, AND HE DID HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE ON HIS SHOW THAT WOULD ACT LIKE BAR ROOM BOUNCERS TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM BEATING ON EACH OTHER FROM CONFESSIONS OF ADULTRY AND EVEN MORE THAN JUST THAT.
