Hello Asgardia!

I am a candidate in this inaugural parliamentary election , but haven't been interactive via social media. I'm hoping to change that, for the sake of this election alone, but I've stepped back from Facebook in my life recently, on account of its destructive side on real life and soulful purpose, on my own direction. I'm sure you can relate or at least understand; however, I am also very much involved, especially intellectually, in the pursuit of the betterment of humanity, and am very interested in the concepts of exopolitics and of our existence with other space faring nations. Many exist, but they are ultimately concerned about interacting with us, for one reason or another.

As such, I am reaching out to you, socially, via this medium, to say hello...

I am a thinker and a leader, with my head often occupied by thoughts on cosmology, quantum physics, fuzzy logic, entanglement and hundredth monkey phenomenon, consciousness, universalism, fractals and holism, altruism, and a plethora of other scholarly fields, including anthropology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the arts. I am a jack of all intellectual trades, but also an existentialist... one who suffers in his pursuit of greater truths and higher realities. As such, I wood love to apply my mind, and to be actively involved in the development of policies for the governance of this greater, independent, free, and sovereign (potential) space nation, known as Asgardia .

The inherent and imminent principals of Asgardia are of immense relevance and importance to the survival of our species, in pursuit of a future that is far more peaceful and of mutual benefit for all beings, all peoples, universally .

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

If you are interested in what I have had to say, so far, then please cast a vote for me , and I will continue to write my thoughts on all of the topics that will help to build our fledgling, radically–different nation, and I look forward to taking part in its inception.

Also, I currently have two petitions up for immediate referendum ( please vote ):


The first petition is on the matter of the need for a cut-off date, in running for office by becoming a candidate for the parliament, following which point all candidates will have the same amount of time to campaign, instead of how it is currently designed, where some candidates have had months more time than others, say... those who just found out about this election later, or became interested citizens of Asgardia and only just realized that they even could run for a position in the Asgardian Parliament.

The second petition is to help ensure that the Asgardian cryptocurrency, SOLAR, can only be mined by credible, able citizens of Asgardia, and that the currency will be held exclusively by Asgardian citizens, until a future date, to be determined, at which point all civilians (perhaps by some predetermined measure) will receive a certain portion of the currency, and at which point it will go to market, with the other cryptocurrencies and thereby generating its value), but its main control should be held by Asgardia, in the form of its civilian body, and not just hoarded by the few.  It can be controlled in such a way as to ensure its acquiring roughly stable value, akin to the current socio– economic systems of the world, and it will thereby evolve, just like anything else.

I move that we initiate the above two policies, as soon as is realistically possible, so that our democratic system can be a shining beacon of light, for an otherwise dark and gloomy world, and our economy can serve to benefit all active citizens, to the greatest extent. A vote for me is a vote for forward-moving, outside-of-the-box thinking, with an acceptance that we are not alone in the universe, and that we can be a part of something much bigger, as soon as we, collectively, agree that it's worth of our accomplishment. One species, united by peace and the altruistic pursuit of betterment.  It is time for humanity to overcome its disappointing history, to strive for the betterment of all, and for our pending exopolitical inclusion .

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Disclosure and (an undeniably, globally acknowledged) First Contact are also of the utmost importance, to know with certainty that we are not alone in this universe (the latter concept being, IMHO, quite ridiculous and statistically improbable). Frankly, I believe that there may even be intelligent life existing within this very solar system.

People are, quite simply, no longer mentally bound to state–sanctioned, fear–based propaganda about extraterrestrials or "aliens," but are now both curious, and frankly accepting of the high likelihood that First Contact is right around the corner. More and more people are admitting that they believe there has been a long–standing effort to cover up the fact that peoples from other planets, from other civilizations, from other regions of the galaxy/ universe have even been interacting with humanity for tens of thousands of years, if not considerably longer. People no longer seem to think of First Contact in terms of abductions, or as the Hollywood–esque "aliens coming to steal all of our precious resources" (sarcasm intended). Humanity seems to be more rational, more open–minded, viewing this as an integral part of our collective evolution.

1. How Would We React to Finding Aliens?
2. Humans will react well to news of alien life, study reveals.

At the same time, the evidence is piling up that we are not alone, and that we never really have been.  It is an exciting time to be alive (the unfortunate, mundane reality of corporate bills, consumerism, and financial extortion aside), as we may be on the verge of finding our place in the local, galactic... neighbourhood.  We stand at the very precipice of potentially great change, where our energy and environmental problems may finally have a hope of being solved, concurrently with novel propulsion systems, and the potential access to a plethora of shared information from our pending allies.

It is thusly that candidates should have some understanding of exopolitics , and be aware of the ongoing, legitimate efforts at disclosure, by some of the highest ranking individuals in the Earth's governmental and military–industrial institutions.

"Vive Asgardia, Libre!"

Sincerely,
Sean Gratton

Oftimes i ponder the long mythos of this world.  In todays post modern world long on new and short of order.  I find the mythology to be somewhat poorly written and lacking in the type of vague esoteric diatribes that evryone enjoys so much.  Considering our kingdom of asgardia is named after the heroic norse abode of tje gods.  Would it not make sense to record the sojourns of emporer Igor his resplendent magesty in the style of the norse eddas or sagas.  Hos heroic battle against daarpa and the orbital mind control lasers would make a story as grand as the icelandic saga of njal

From the Sealand wiki article:

In international law , the two most common schools of thought for the creation of statehood are the constitutive and declaratory theories of state creation. The constitutive theory was the standard nineteenth-century model of statehood, and the declaratory theory was developed in the twentieth century to address shortcomings of the constitutive theory. In the constitutive theory, a state exists exclusively via recognition by other states. The theory splits on whether this recognition requires "diplomatic recognition" or merely "recognition of existence".

NASA is considered a "defense agency".  There is the civilian wing of NASA (which is basically a Public Relations Propaganda machine), and there is the secret military branch of NASA.  This secret branch has already built a secret base on the moon.  Hopefully, Trump and the Chief of NASA will declassify this soon.

Hagamos de nuestro planeta un mejor lugar para vivir, unámonos en esta lucha que va a representar sentar las bases de lo que sera nuestro mundo en los próximos 25 años, pensemos en una metrópoli  pensada en la educación de nuestros hijos y que estos sean respetuosos con el medio en el que viven,  impulsemos el desarrollo tecnológico de nuestra región tecnificando cada proceso en nuestras entidades municipales regionales y nacionales, empoderaremos cada vez  a las mujeres y madres motor de este mundo pujante y cuidaremos de nuestros ancianos.

Es mi compromiso y voy a luchar por el.

Dünya'da herkes tarafından söylenenler değil sadece bir şeyler yokuyorlar fakirler ezilip zenginler yükseltiliyor. 1000 sıradan insan yasadışı bir şey yaptı suç oldu 100 tane zengin de bu işi yapsa bu suç olmaktan çıkıyor legal oluyor ve sonra özgürlük, eşitlikten, adaletten bahsediliyor. Dünya'da değil ama belki yukarıda, uzayda bir umut vardır.

There is no doubt that the United Nations with all of its political nuances makes it difficult for burgeoning countries such as Asgardia to reach Global legitimacy. Afterall, the UN can't even decide on the small strip of land called Isreal. If the UN existed in 1775, would the 13 colonies of the America's have been recognized?

Is there another way? Empires of great power over the ages have risen and fallen. Great alliances have joined in force and in peace, but how many in the last 1000 years of human history have remained constant and steadfast.

Like many examples in today's world were the ability to take part in legitimate enterprises with equally matched micro opportunities there exists success and opertunity, from the big investmennt traders of Americas Wall-street to the home office of a day trader, to the global currency exchanges of the world to the digital currencies like Bitcoin, from the global nations dictating policy for the world, there are Micro-nations, individually with a small voice but under a chartered United Micro-Nation (UMN) organization, Asgardia can find allies, investors, friends, and a common voice.

As we are upon the closing of Asgardian elections, one thing is certain, everyone believes in this path, but do they know how to get us there. I would argue that to be no. Make no mistake, its no small feat to have launched a cube sat into space and have an exchange of information between Asgardia 1 and its terrestrial communication source, but the reality is...how do you accomplish your long term goals when before we as humans could even crawl, we needed to touch, taste, and see, everything around us.

Asgardia needs a home, it needs a space port to launch from, it needs a place to invite its citizens. Unless we all wish to move to Antarctica, landmass options are very limited.  However water is not, and new sources of green sustainable resources are ever increasing. Over the next several weeks I am going to post articles and research that will allow Asgardia to become a new sovereign nation built on an Artificial land mass, self powered, able to sustain its needs for food, water, and energy. As a nation we must first crawl....

I'm a natural in personable skills including; problem solving/troubleshooting, proper etiquette when dealing with global cultures, language arts both verbal and body language, negotiation tactics, management both macro and micro. For these reasons I believe I would be a great candidate for a leadership role in this organization. I strive for equality among all people and Freedom of knowledge for everyone. I love what this organization is, stands for, a can be for humanity. Let's do this right.

Not a great title, I know, but there's a method to my madness. I'm concerned about the first colonies that will be sent into space (Asgardian or otherwise). As much as it is a dream to be a pioneer in extraterrestial residency, I know for a fact that I could never possibly afford the equipment, training, or even the seat on a ship heading off earth.

I personally don't care if I have to live on bread and water in space for my whole stay there, but the reality is economics runs our species. I'm curious to see how we as a nation will allow equal opportunities to those that aren't as financially successful here on Earth.

I'm also interested in how our government will decide which space-related agencies we will be partnering with. Currently, we have a foot into NASA, but SpaceX has recently offered several cheaper and more efficient technology for space travel. Of course, stepping towards a corporate business versus a governmental sect is always a tricky subject. Only time will tell, I guess.
