I am very concerned about anti-muslim, anti-Middle-Eastern rhetoric within Asgardia's culture, given the current climate in the Middle East. What is your take on the current happenings in the Middle East, terrorist attacks worldwide, and anti-Muslim rhetoric? What do you believe our course of action should be when it comes to ensuring that all religions and spiritual persuasions are equally respected, as per the proposed constitution?

Could anyone explain this to me, please? And please, explain it *very* clearly. I am very "awake" and aware of what is going on in terms of 5D consciousness, geopolitics, the Disclosure process and the current plans of the "Banking Cartel". I won't come right out pointing my finger and saying "*ILLUMINATI CONSPIRACY!*", but I did notice the symbolism and it peaked my interest. Yes, I am serious, and this is not a joke. No, I am not a conspiracy theorist. I'm merely a curious Asgardian with good observation skills.

GLORY TO ASGARDIA By S. Crawford Canada ---- Glory to Asgardia; Glory to the Golden Dawn. And to those who strive for liberty, Hear Our Call! As we push ever further to the stars, Our heads held up high, We have crossed Earthly oceans to ally; We’re never losing flight. Glory to Asgardia; Bringing light unto the lost; Glory to our bare Humanity; Those who dare, where others flee. Asgardia! Asgardia!

Alright, so Asgardia is a space-faring nation, correct? Well, I've noticed a slight oversight that could cause huge issues later on. At some point in Asgardia's history, we will most definitely run into beings that resemble human beings but are not actually "human" beings. I'm talking of course about extraterrestrial intelligence, or "ETI". Whether or not grey martians, Arcturians, Pleiaidians and other beings actually do exist or not is something we should leave to the Ministry of Science to discover. What we should not leave to them, however, is what Asgardia ought to do with non-human, sentient ETI we encounter who want to join our nation. I have a few questions in this regard. 1. Are sentient "non-human" ETI eligible for Asgardian citizenship? 2. If so, how do we then accomodate ETI who might need a certain climate of living (e.g. extreme heat, extreme cold, living underground)? 3. How do we achieve and maintain peace between ETI and humans? Most people might feel threatened or afraid of non-human entities, and some Asgardians who are more religious might believe they're a "demon" or something like that. What do we do about that?

I'm intending to start an actual Earth-based business called Arcturian Industries. We would be a crown corporation (if Igor consents to such a thing) of Asgardia, and our goal as a business would be to fund initiatives related to Asgardia's development, building and repairing whatever is needed. In 10 years, I hope to see Arcturian Industries become a multi million dollar company, funding more than half of all Asgardian community initiatives. We could start on a very small-scale by selling Asgardia-related gear like t-shirts, hoodies, posters, mugs, computer pads, and other things of that nature. While we get up to speed with finances, employees would choose an industry--either construction, manufacturing, programming or electronics--and receive specific apprenticeship-based training. On graduation, they would be an official member of the company and their probation would be over. They would be eligible to pick up individual contracts, or to participate in large multi-person projects. Over time, we could start doing larger-scale projects that are more reflective of what we would be doing in our spacecraft, like installing solar panels, developing a propulsion system, making some sort of mobile app, and wiring electric systems. As our first big project, I propose that we look at developing Asgardian-brand electronics. Start with basic stuff, then move into things that are more complex. The business would be organized by projects or contracts. Any Asgardian can open a contract with Arcturian Industries so long as they pay half of the costs of the project up-front. We would then work on that contract, and payment would be rendered when the project is complete to the customer's satisfaction. On a broader scale, Arcturian Industries would serve two purposes. Firstly, it would give people a venue where they can learn skilled trades that are immediately applicable to jobs and careers on the ship. This helps to ensure an even mix of white collar and blue collar industry. Secondly, it provides motivation and encouragement for getting into the trades; people are directly contributing to Asgardia who would have never contributed before We would "hire" anyone who wants to participate and who can demonstrate that they've passed high school and have a skill to contribute. No resume, no interview, no hiring process nonsense. If you would like to help, you are hired on and placed in the skill development program. I don't have a huge amount of money to contribute to Arcturian Industries and I haven't registered the business name, but if there is wide-spread interest, I'll make a Kickstarter and we'll get this thing off the ground.

This could be the solution we need when it comes to getting a lot of power very quickly. A lot of colleges and universities, tech firms, corporations and so on are installing solar panels as windows or even bodies of their structures, which allows near unlimited energy. If we are going to be orbiting on a station in space as many have suggested, I'd think that solar panels would be the best idea. Thoughts? --------------------------- Je pense que "panneaux solaires" est le premier solution de la problem du electricite. Tes pensées?

Just curious what the plan for the population? What will be the max population and what steps will be in place to control that limit? Secondary ship aka Asgardia 2? Adding onto existing ship? Child limits? Sorry if this was already adressed in a different topic.

Please add a feature to show me when I have a reply to a post. Maybe it's here abd I'm just not seeing it? I've had to go back to posts and scroll down each one to see if there's a reply. Not a big deal for 4 or 5 posts but it could get confusing. Ironically, I'm going to have to fmdo that to this post to see if you replied ;)

Good day, Thank you for taking the time to read my alternate proposal. Please keep in mind that this explanation is an oversimplified summary of a much bigger and very detailed blueprint that I have been working on for years. I understand that what I am proposing is reliant on changing everything we know about politics and economics. It is also very dependant on technology that is currently very new and needs a lot of refinement in order for this system to work. I predict that by the time we have citizens living aboard a space nation, most of us, if not all of us are likely to be ling gone and that we are basically building framework for a future generation that will ultimately be the citizens living our dream. Please keep an open mind and feel free to offer alternatives, tweaks, or constructive criticism and explain your reasoning so that the issues brought up can be addressed and hopefully we can build on the idea rather than just commenting "it won't work" as that really accomplishes nothing and offers no solution. The Monetary Stystem Since the dawn of civilization, nations have been built on the blood and sweat of the common people. The strong warriors and hunters would enslave the weak and force them into servitude under the threat of starvation and death. As generations passed, not much has changed. The biggest difference today is that we have the illusion of freedom but we are just as enslaved as ever. If you don't work, you starve. But why? Ever since the invention of the axe and hammer, we have found ways to make work easier and more efficient so that we can work less and accomplish more. It is undeniable that we have advanced as a civilization exponentially with each time and labour saving invention. Today's workforce is terrified of the next step in manufacturing advancement, enter the robot generation. 1 robot can effectively replace a hundred jobs and can cost the company as little as a single years salary of 1 employee. The robot makes fewer mistakes, never calls in sick, doesn't need breaks, take vacation and can't go on strike. Countries around the world are scrambling to implement universal basic income to attempt to be ready for the 50% job loss projected by the robot revolution. With jobs few and far between this is going to put a massive burden on the government to provide for people and therefore the "basic" income is going to be just enough, if not almost enough to get by. This essentially predicts that at least 50% of the population is expected to become unemployed and lower class and will be the official end of the middle class. Compainies will get to the point of a small handful of actual employees and absolutely astonishing profit margins as their workforce is completely autonomous. So now let's look at Asgardia. Currently it is an idea, not a nation and definitely not a physical ship at this time. We are the architects, we are the intelligent designers of a new age. Why would we compliment a system that is crumbling all over the world, just to have to reform it like the rest of the world? So how can we deal with this issue? How can we avoid the issues of earth nations? Asgardia is a ship. It is nothing more than technology in action so let's put technology in action. If we design the ship with 100% self sustainable and autonomous in mind from the start, there's no jobs to lose to robots because robots already do them. Let's look at this from goal #1 1. develop autonomous space mining machines to mine raw materials from asteroids, the moon, mars etc. 2. develop autonomous transport ships to bring materials to manufacturing plants. 3. develop autonomous manufacturing plants that utilize the latest in 3d printing and similar manufacturing technology. 4. develop an autonomous shipyard that assembles manufactured parts to build Asgardia from the inside out. 5. design all systems in Asgardia to be autonomous from the Agriculture and lab grown food production, food service and preparation, energy systems, water recycling systems etc. Everything... We do have the technology and I can only imagine how much it will improve by the time we are actually building the ship. 6. ensure that all personal living quarters are equipped with with the latest in 3d printing technology and a digital archive of product plans so that Asgardians don't buy products, they make them. (Probably easier to order the product from a central processing center and products are delivered by robot) 7. integrated VR and AI technology into education system by designing virtual mentors and coursework and eliminating the need for teachers and classrooms. Corsework would be designed by volunteer scholars. 8. integrate fire suppression systems into the walls, floors, ceilings etc. Using the latest technology so that fire teams are no longer needed and can be replaced with a handful of volunteers. 9. AI integrated health care systems that can diagnose illness and dispense per dose medication directly in your living quarters as needed, eliminating prescription substance abuse. Monitor your health and wellbeing 24 hours a day as to catch illness before an outbreak (which when in close quarters on a spaceship is pretty important. Print casts, give vaccines, preform surgeries etc. By embracing science and technology (which I thought was kinda the point of Asgardia) there really is No need for money other than in a few circumstances such as travel to earth and foreign trade with earth. My proposed solution to this problem is that we can trade our ability to manufacture scientific space technology to other countries for the things we can not find or produce ourselves with earth nations. This eliminates most financial transactions however, our ability to produce expensive technology at low cost would also allow us to sell our technology for monetary gain to countries as well as private companies who otherwise may not have had the capital or resources to build the tech on earth and then shoot it into space. The monetary gains would be in the global trade currency (whatever that may be by then) would be shared 100% equally to all Asgardian citizens for the event that they want to travel to earth for vacation. This would also include and national income from tourism or any other commerce. I realize this is hard to swallow and sounds like a plot to a sci-fi movie but the fact is, I did not refer to any technology that we don't already have and use. Yes maybe the tech isn't quite ready for all that but let me ask you something. How many years has it been since computers started showing up on the market? 1981 during the release of the first IBM personal computer. Also the year I was born... Coincidence? Yes, yes it is. But the point is, that was 35 years ago. We have at least 50 years before the beginning of construction on a project of this scale. So tell me that technology won't be ready by then... So tell me your thoughts. Tell me why this won't work. Tell me that I'm a dreamer because I'm not the only one. *** **Mod Edit** I've edited this post correct the formatting of the numbered list - *Jason Rainbow 22 January 2017 @ 03:19 am*

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but the forums are unreliable at the moment so here it is. Please take the time to read the entire post if you wish to comment. I encourage constructive criticism and discussion. Good day, Can someone please address my question. Why do we need any formal government at all? My reasoning: By having volunteer committies, where any citizen is able to volunteer, to no limit. Committiee meetings would be held in an open public chambers for any to attend. Meetings would be video broadcast to the entire ship, should Citizens wish to tune in and follow. Speakers at the meetings are given 5 minutes each to present their argument on scheduled topics. After speaker presentations, all decisions are put to a vote, available in real time to the entire ship, open to all that choose to vote. Votes are open for a period of 6 hours where all citizens can take the time to openly discuss the topics and make their decision abd cast their vote. During the voting period, committee volunteers who wish to open a new topic for the next committee meeting would submit a digital form, outlining their proposal to the other committee members for review. Those proposals are then the voted on topics for the next meeting and the person that submitted the proposal is again the speaker and the cycle repeats. Once the vote is complete, the majority rules and the decision is made but if a citizen strongly opposes the decision, they can collect 1000 signatures to appeal the decision. If appealed, the citizen who files the appeal must submit the alternitive proposal to the other members to schedule their chance to speak and put the alternative to a vote. Please note that I am aware that this explanation is oversimplified and that many other big and innovative changes need to be made in order for this to work but I assure you that I have accounted for those changes and am willing to openly and constructively discuss those issues and come up with solutions. Why I am so passionate about this idea? Eliminates corruption at every political level Gives all citizens who wish to partisapate, an equal voice. Full 100% transparency And accountability Reactive, immediate policy change to reflect immediate needs. No costly and disruptive electoral campaigns with broken promises, destructive propaganda No chance of hidden political agenda because rather than voting on a party with hopes of them representing your best interests, you represent your best interests. No inflated government salaries, eliminating financial motivation in political policy. No division of Left and Right Not having to choose the lessor of 2 evils. This idea is not perfect but if you look at all the forms of government on earth today, none of them are working and the world in in chaos. We have here, the greatest opportunity in the history of civilization, to hit reset and truly guid humanity into the future. Repeating old mistakes in insanity. Please open your mind and realize that every idea was New once and with a collaboration of minds like ours, we can make a system like this work and become the blueprint for a truly advanced civilization . Thank you for taking the time to read this and I welcome your ideas, questions and criticism. After all, that's why we're here isn't it? Terry Foster
