Well enough lurking around outside the airlock!  Might as well come in from the cold!

I first stumbled upon Asgardia the day of their official opening up and signed up right away (number 1043 it looks like). Corresponded with the initial crew for a while and got myself really wrapped around the idea (micro-nations, seasteading and other attempts at independent states).  Indeed some of the early attempts (the Atlantis 2 in the Bahamas was particularly apt) had much inspiration and guts but little on the practical aspects of working through all the legal and political entanglements. Most were just happy enough to sell postage stamps, passports and other curio and as such were usually ignored by the relevant governing authorities, being seen as more of a business venture than any real threat to the status quo.  Because indeed, the concept of a nation on this planet is completely webbed up with the global status quo, mostly from the financial aspect (as all control manifests at some point).  Thiel’s Seasteading project off the coast of Tahiti shows the most promise and we should monitor their progress as it goes.  Could make an interesting co-endeavor with Asgardia at some point.

Politics and systems of control and coercion here on Earth have grown quite stifling for those liberty minded folks who still have not fallen under the hypnotic spell.  The old left-right paradigm and divide-and-conquer tricks become obvious in the glare of open-sourced media and people the world over are fed up with it.  Indeed, why start a space nation if you are going to just dredge up the same failed oppressive games from the muck only to pollute space and beyond with it!  Not a good way to endear yourself to your neighbors (and get out of quarantine finally).  We need to outgrow the childish egos our society is modeled around and mature rather quickly as a race or any expansion beyond our world on our part will be futile.

We cannot solve a problem with the same mindset that created it (Einstein I believe).  One needs to elevate one’s point of view out of the arena to have the full field in view.  With this new perspective, new paradigms are born and hopefully, we regain a bit more of our true humanity in the process.  Systems cannot be repaired from within (though they can be eaten out from the inside).

This is an ancient and cyclic challenge for humanity.  Are we up to the task?  Can we break free from old familiar habits of control?

Asgardia so far has proven a very good virtual incubator of such concepts.  Everyone involved seems to desire a clean break to restart the process where all have equal footing and respect. However the exact way of putting together all the needed elements for a fledgling nation has proven quite a challenge and at each level, new issues need to be dealt with that were not foreseen.

With the launch of its first satellite, Asgardia has brought the concept out of the social media discussion realm and taken things up a notch in the “real” environment.  Small and insignificant it may seem, it is a cornerstone for a whole different way of looking at sovereignty and nationality outside any previous norms.

With the elections under way and things filling in all around I am feeling optimistic that this has sailed beyond the mere “pipe-dream” stage!  Still a long road ahead but the initial steps are most crucial as all the rest follow in their tracks.  Hopefully we can learn to become “good neighbors,”  if we expect other possible neighbors to want to have anything to do with us! Asgardia indeed should aspire to become the ambassadorial coalition of Earth.  So far we have the makings of such and once we have a legal basis for our sovereignty, we will be positioned in the vanguard of any exo-political relations that may unfold in our little neighborhood.  It's a beautiful day!

There are a total of eight planets in our solar system, of which the smallest and the closest planet to the Sun is Mercury, named after a messenger Roman deity, as this planet travels very fast in the sky. In about 88 days, it completes one of its revolutions. Mercury is said to be the second most dense planet after the Earth, where there is an abundance of minerals. It is a planet mainly composed of heavy metals and huge rock formations. Scientists say that the surface of Mercury is very similar to the surface of the Earth's moon. Life on the planet Mercury is not possible at all, because the atmosphere here is weather-free. That is, the atmosphere of this planet does not have seasonal events like Earth. Its average temperature remains between -173 to 427 ° C, which can freeze or burn any organism in an instant. Like the Earth, tectonic plates are active under the surface of Mercury, due to which seismic events continue to occur on this planet. The presence of some ancient lava fields on the surface here suggests that there was volcanic activity on Mercury in the past. The planet Mercury is also called the morning or evening star, because it appears in the sky immediately before sunrise and just after sunset. It is one of the five planets in the solar system that can be seen with the naked eye in the sky. Apart from Mercury, the other four planets are Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. One day on Mercury equals 176 days on Earth. According to scientists, this planet is constantly shrinking. They say that the planet has become seven kilometers smaller, today than when the surface of Mercury was hardened four billion years ago. Large pits have been found on the surface of Mercury. Some of them are hundreds of kilometers long and up to three kilometers deep. These pits are believed to have been caused by asteroids and comets colliding with Mercury related astronomical events. Mercury has no natural satellite or moon of its own. Apart from this, strange wrinkles are found on the surface here. It is believed that as the planet began to shrink due to excessive heat on Mercury, the surface here became wrinkled. These wrinkles are known as 'lobate scarps' and these wrinkles can be up to a mile high and hundreds of miles long.

Ley lines were first theorized in 1921, and since then, the debate has been over whether or not they exist, and if they do, what purpose they serve.

In 1921, amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins made a discovery . He noticed that ancient sites, at different points around the world all fell into a sort of alignment. Be the sites man-made or natural, they all fell into a pattern, usually a straight line. He coined these lines “leys,” later “ley lines,” and in doing so opened a world of supernatural and spiritual beliefs.

To those who do believe in ley lines, the concept is quite simple. Ley lines are lines that crisscross around the globe, like latitudinal and longitudinal lines, that are dotted with monuments and natural landforms, and carry along with them rivers of supernatural energy. Along these lines, at the places they intersect, there are pockets of concentrated energy, that can be harnessed by certain individuals.

So you can see why there are some skeptics.

Watkins backed up the existence of his ley lines, by pointing out that many monuments around the globe can seemingly be connected by a straight line. For example, stretching from the southern tip of Ireland, all the way to Isreal, there is a straight line that connects seven different landforms that bear the name “Michael,” or some form of it.

As for their supernatural component, the ley lines mystery deepens when it’s revealed what they connect. Along the ley lines lie the Great Pyramids of Giza, Chichen Itza, and Stonehenge, all wonders of the world that continue to surprise archaeologists today. Perhaps their presence on the ley lines, near to the so-called energy pockets could explain their inceptions, all of which defied the laws of architecture at the time.

Though the lines are geographically accurate on occasion, the existence of these ley lines has been contested almost since Watkins made his observation. One researcher, Paul Devereux, claimed that the concept was bogus, and that there was no way they could exist, and that a reference to them in an occult book is the only reason that supernaturalists believe in them.

Devereux also claimed that the ley lines could just be coincidentally overlapping with esteemed monuments. The lines that Watkins drew on his map could easily be explained as chance alignments. Jeff Belanger, the author of Paranormal Encounters: A Look at the Evidence which discusses the supernatural significance of ley lines, agreed. He pointed out that the fact that the term could be used to describe a line of any length or location detracts from its validity, and claimed that it was not specific enough to use.

Many people have drawn their own ley lines to prove just how coincidental they can be, connecting everything from pizza restaurants to movie theaters to churches on maps.

Regardless of their validity, the concept of ley lines has captivated fans of the supernatural and science fiction for years. They often appear as the explanation for paranormal events, or as explanations for the fantastic monuments in science fiction movies or novels.

Voting for me is to choose your Ambassador of Asgardia in the Country of Danmark
