A SPECIAL MESSAGE to our friends
at The Burning Platform

Please know that the SOTN editor was invited to write this “Special Message”, by our close collaborators at The Burning Platform, to our many fellow truth-seekers at TBP.  Very few folks are aware that the top writers at both of our websites started posting at The Market Oracle at the very same time during the historic market crash of 2008.

As many of you folks know, SOTN published a piece about a month ago informing our followers that we were closing down this June.  Their response to this announcement was both immediate and one of great disappointment.  The most common email we have received over the past month is that we needed to stay open, however that can happen.  And, that we had to maintain our 6 primary sites as libraries and/or in an archival format so valuable is the content because in many cases we are the only publisher and it cannot even be found on the Wayback Machine or similar archiving sites.

Long story short, SOTN conducted our first donation campaign in 17 years this June to accommodate those numerous requests.  Up until this month, we had no donation button, sold no products or services, and hosted no small business advertising or ad delivery networks.  Hence, no revenue except from a very generous angel who has since gone through difficult times.

It should be noted that our close relationship with TBP has greatly enhanced our daily content.  Our readers really like the often entertaining posts and great comedy videos as a balance to the very serious SOTN content.  Of course, TBP features some of the best news reports, commentary and analysis on the Internet as well.  Some of our best articles have even come from comments posted at TBP.

Therefore, SOTN and TBP have developed a long-term and mutually beneficial relationship in the Alt Media space that is quite unusual.  And it behooves us to continue this synergistic collaboration, especially as we enter the final phase of The Fourth Turning.

Toward that end, we invite all followers of TBP, who are also regular readers/viewers of SOTN, to consider supporting State of the Nation with a one-time contribution.  For this donation campaign is both our first and our last.  With enough donations, we expect the total proceeds to carry SOTN and associated websites through at least until the end of the world (that’s how TBP humor has rubbed off on us).

Now here’s how to give to the SOTN cause for those interested.  Please be aware that, because of SOTN being rejected from various payment platforms and fund-raising sites, the ways to contribute are few as follows:

Prospective donors can email us at either of the two email addresses
below to discuss making a donation via Zelle, PayPal or a Square credit

continue to process any donations through the month of July.

Special Note: For those folks at TBP who are unfamiliar with SOTN content over the past 17 years, one of our previous SOTN platforms shown HERE has a list of important posts at the very top of the site which capture the essence of what we really do.  For first and foremost, we are a group of investigative journalists and revisionist historians, conspiracy realists and armchair detectives, geopolitical analysts and intelligence analysts, among many other professional pursuits and specialities.  We also receive many submissions from ex-CIA agents, deep insiders within the U.S. Intelligence Community, former U.S. Military, FBI and other law enforcement, Deep State whistleblowers, corporate officers who have gone rogue, and even a very radioactive firsthand account from a member of a Northern Italian Black Nobility family.  However, above all, the courageous members of this unique platform have been dedicated to waking up each and every day and, before we even brush our teeth, and spending the wee hours of the morning releasing thousands of flaming arrows into the Deep State castle.  You get the picture.

And because of our impacts over the years, this is just one example of the major breakthroughs — recently effectuated by one of our closest partners — that now occur every day on the SOTN platform: CENSORSHIPGATE: Complex Criminal Government Scheme Blown Wide Open, Conspiratorial Plot Exposed In Shocking Detail
