Nation state

Nation state link
The blue is territory controlled by states which are members of the United Nations
In 1919 sociologist Max Weber defined the state as any "human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory". There are about 200 such groups in the world, which form an exclusive club that has portioned up (almost) the whole world up into particular jurisdictions.

The Nation state is a (more or less) clearly defined, often very large, jurisdictional area often referred to as a "country". They are common equipped with their own flags, sports teams, currency systems, capital cities etc. Almost all the world's land surface — with the exception of Antarctica — is occupied by nation states' claims to sovereignty.

Official narrative

The official narrative of nation states is that they represent independent political entities. Almost all of these claim to be "democratic" and that they seek to influence events so as to promote the welfare of the citizens of that country.

Problems

Most "democratic" states use a hierarchical system of national elections in which the involvement of citizens is limited to a vote every few years. In many, the party political structure has been infiltrated (or even set up) by the deep state, and so is in no way responsive to the desire of the electorate.

Although some nation states are independent actors, the importance of national governments is systematically overstated by the commercially-controlled media, which is keen to obscure the role played by deep state groups. John Perkins, for example, has written about the systematic policy of removing national leaders who refused to submit to foreign control. The result is that many nominally "independent" nations are in reality controlled by small groups whose true loyalties lie elsewhere.

Controlled media

The question of to what extent governments act so as to represent the will of their electorates has become something of a third rail topic, with only the most palpable cases exposed in the commercially-controlled media as occasional "bad apples".

Rogue State USA

The government of the United States is openly contradicting the official narrative of how nation states operate. After generations of covert interference in the affairs of other nation states (bombings, assassinations and other interventions), the US has increasingly been claiming the legal right to outside its borders. It does not yet explicitly state that "might makes right", but prefers nebulous justifications such as "humanitarian intervention" or the "war on terror". {{#subobject: |Has superobject=Nation state |Has objectClass=Quotation |Has author=Frédéric Bastiat|+sep=, |Has text=“The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.” |Is about=Nation state,nation state|+sep=, |Has wikipediaPage= |Has location=|+sep=, |Has publicationDate=1849 |Sourced from=L'Etat |Has sourceDetails= |Has sourceTitle= |Has sourceName=L'Etat |Has sourceURL=

“The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.”
Frédéric Bastiat (1849) 

1966 Bilderberg

In documents leaked from the 1966 Bilderberg somebody noted that "nationalism is dangerous".

21^st Century

In the 21^st century, nation states are de facto increasingly eclipsed by supranational control structures, a sentiment echoed by Bilderberger Herman Van Rompuy who said that "Nation states are dead".

Limited power

Nation states are bound by innumerable international agreements. Nominally, however they remain independent, although since 2020 increasingly rapid moves are being made to challenge this state of affairs.

COVID-19

Full article: COVID-19

The events around COVID-19 have clarified that the supranational deep state has de facto control over most national governments. COVID-19/Premature deaths include at least 3 national leaders who rejected the WHO line about the deadliness of the new disease and safety of concomitant injections.
