I'am running for reelection to The parliament of the digital space nation of Asgardia for a second term I don't know how many there are who know of Asgardia Space Nation, asgardia.space. We have been around for six years,. If you haven't heard of us ,maybe you have heard of ROOM magazine which we produce in digital and print form. Many leading scientist and scholars have been published in its pages over the years. Asgardia is a nation of like minded individuals with a common goal, to move mankind into space. Our main goal at this time is to have the first birth of a human in space. We are in association with the company Spaceborn United. We have also been involved in the Series 21 isolation experiment with two of our colleagues and will be involved with the upcoming Series 23 year long isolation test.. If you have read this far you may be asking why should I be interested. And if you are a follower or resident of Asgardia you all ready know. It is election time in Asgardia for its second Parliament. Which will be held on June18-19 of this year. If anyone wantsto be involved in the election you have to be a Resident, yes there is a fee 100€ a year. Asgadia knows that not all people can pay that at one time , and monthly payments can be done. It was Parliament that pushed Through that change. While some can only make a monthly payment ,it does give you a right to vote and be heard. And so you know as of now Parliament is an unpayed post. When our economy grow then parliament will be payed, and only then. We do this out of dedication to the opportunities that Asgardia presents for the future of Humanity. As a member of the out going first parliament ,I have work on various form of legislation, some of which are in use now, such. as the ACT on ACTS.Which was our first law (all Asgardia laws much work within Asgardias constitution) . Many of the laws that have been past are what we in the parliament call frame work laws, which means they don't go into effect until Asgardia has been recognized as a Nation. But can be refined before then. While in parliament I became the chairman of the Safety and Security committee. Where I and other members of parliament developed the Information Safety and Security Cyber Law . Which unfortunately didn't get a vote in the first parliament. The ISSCL follows ISO and internationally recognized standards for cybersecurity, along with Asgardias constitutional requirements. One of the reasons that I'm running for reelection. Another is I am currently working with the subcommittee on the Asgardia2 satellite or satellites ,to be dicided ,to study earth and solar weather. Another reason is that I plan on proposing a Term limits law for parliament of not more then 3 Terms consecutivly. I myself only wish to do 2 terms, that's enough for me. Another reason I am looking for a second term is to help new and younger parliamentarians to understand Asgardias culture. Asgardia is a nation made up of many peoples from many different backgrounds, beliefs, and political systems. Which all have to work together as one unit of understanding. Not to say we always agree we don't, and that's a good thing. Just because someone doesn't agree doesn't mean their wrong or right . Discussions bring understanding. So I am seeking reelection to a second term in Asgardias parliment. Thank you for your time.

What do you enjoy most about your work in Parliament? Q1working with likeminded people from around the planet who come from many different back grounds and political systems, And who all share a common dream and goal. What have you been able to change in the development of Asgardia? What was your personal contribution? Q2, I don't know that I can point to any one thing that I have changed in Asgardians development. I have made suggestions, some of which have been used. As far as a personal contribution, I would say the introduction of the Information Safety and Security Cyber Law which I hope to see voted on. Without good cyber security, it would be hard for Asgardia to move forward. What has been your biggest challenge? Q3, Biggest challenge has been time,as it has been for many of us in parliament. What would you wish for the second Asgardian Parliament? What do you think would be their main challenge? Q4, My wish for the second sitting Asgardian Parliament is to relax and Breath. I see a couple of issues 1, See what was done in the first Parliament so as not to waste time on rehashing old items with no traction. 2, Don't make generalities. Not all issues and items have a one size fits all. Could you give a piece of advice to the next Parliament? Q5, Remember, not everyone has a degree, or works with space. Some will be like myself maybe retired military or a store owner, or even just a housewife. So don't make assumption s of how smart someone is by their background. So, everyone knows I am running for reelection.

Yes, One year till election time for Parliament. I've given it a lot of thought and have decided to run for one more cycle. If reelected, I plan on stepping down from Safety And security Chairman and devoting my time to Foreign Affairs. While in SASEC I and other members wrote a most comprehensive Cyber security law Which I hope will come up for a vote before the close of this Parliament. I will post more later

The world They the ELITE envision is really one of Slavery . A world were one gets according to needs What about ambition and aspiration will that be reward more What if someone invents or develops something that is worth much will they be forced to share with out the benefit of more wealth to improve their life or the life of there family Or will those in charge take the credit This has been tried in the past at different times and different levels of Tech and has failed each time The only system that has worked is Free markets Yes it has its flails ,but at the same time has not only enriched but has risen more people out of the dirt then any other system It give all a equal chance if they want it Its up to the individual as to how hard they want to work and where they are happy in life and at what level . When I see the people at the top spuming the changes that they want to see ,are changes that they hope will keep them in power without worrying that someone from the dirt may sprout roots and grow to be amongst them .And to show that they are just as good or better then they are And lastly yes we do have people who truly need help The handy capped weather young or old .And society should care for them But they should be cared for at the level of the rich not the dog-pound A child born with no legs of limbs can be just as smart as Einstein or smarter our elderly should not have to worry about meds or if they are to old to have a heart- transplant because some one at the top says so Yes there are some changes that need to be made I agree . and its not the BASED ON YOUR NEEDS SOCIETY

我是個和平愛好者，當太空國家成立之初我懷抱著理想加入，至今我的理想沒有改變，人類在地球太久了，存在著各種不利人類未來的問題，這些問題累積的最終結果將導到人類在地球的滅絕，我讀了Asgardia憲法很受我的認同，我深知偉大的建國理想是一段困難並且漫長的路，我最大的期望就是有生之年能看到人類第一個太空國家Asgardia 帶著它的公民生活在浩瀚的太空，，這是我的期待。 I am a lover of peace. When the space country was founded, I joined with my ideals. My ideals have not changed. Human beings have been on the earth for too long. There are various problems that are not harmful to the future of mankind. The cumulative results of these problems will lead to The extinction of mankind on the earth. I read the Asgardia Constitution and I agree with me. I know that the great ideal of nation-building is a difficult and long road. My biggest hope is to see Asgardia, the first space country of mankind in my lifetime. Its citizens live in the vast space. This is my expectation.

Socialism in the US has been growing in this earthly nation since before the election of its first republican president Abraham Lincoln. It found its havens in the big city's of the eastern states where the thinkers of the day congregated within the centers of power, learning, and commerce. Much as it had done in the European nation before traveling over the oceans to the new world. This was the reason for the creation of the electoral college to insure that the lesser populated areas of the country had a voice in the running of their nation. It came to the fore in the US in the 1920s for a short period of time till the depression of the 30s which gave it a pump up till it fell to the back burner of World War II. But by then the US had many closet socialists within its government even to the White House. Programs such as the Civilian Conservation Corps, WPA and many others, sounding good, but left many in a desperate cycle of feast or famine and down played the free market system which had built the US and gave many the means to improve their lives. All that changed in 1941 ,when the free market was needed to fight and defeat another form of socialism in the Europe, and imperialism in Asia. Today socialisms head is again looking to devour the free market of the US. While using Race and Class warfare along with the deference's in generational thinking and yes any thing that pushes the break down of society so that government can come in along with their allies. Recently the House of Representative has cut funding to the US space program. What may this mean for Asgardia, perhaps a lengthening in the time it may take for Asgardia to implement it own space program due to fewer options in research and development . Higher costs due to less competition, or regulations that made it impossible to even launch from the US unless their government control every aspect of our programs. A smaller well educated work force because their education system is more about social reform than hard science. The US by then may not even be able to provide the energy needed to even heat the homes of its people in the winter, or feed its people in any meaningful way. While the US may have one of the largest groups of Asgardian followers . That will dwindle if the US becomes socialist in the manner that the American left seeks This is something WE as Asgardians must be prepared for, and not caught off guard by. Asgardia is a free-market society and must at all times see that that Market stays open to all Asgardians and to all the people of Earth ONE HUMANITY ON UNITY

Is the new Left a threat to Humanities future? It seems that it could very well be.  The move to the left in not only the United States but most of the industrial nations is a move to Nill growth. I have observed that many of the left's talking points use here in the States are also being used in other nations. Even to styles of speech and dress. The distain for Free Markets and distain for free thought and people not under control of the powerful in government will surely stop humanity’s move off the earth and our ability to save the human race. The use of population Control as a right , The use of silencing speech that they don't agree with even with violence in some cases . The threat of governments taking over business in order to control the means of production for the powerful’s own ends of control of the masses. Yes these and more can stop Humanity’s future, The future of or human race depends on our ability to move off planet. To see the human family, go beyond Earth’s gravity well. But the new left only wants that to happen for them self’s and their followers, The ones who believe as they do , the ones who follow with no question and no free thought or free will . While the so-called lower classes remain here and are left to fend for themselves on what remains. After they have used up all that is left. They will choose who will go and who will remain just as they have done thru out history in one form or another ,from Egypt's  last days to today with its many homeless and illegals used as a means to destroy nations and culture . While the thought of a one world government which is the lefts goal sound good to younger people where all is done for you by the government, it has never worked. Corruption always takes over Freedom and free thought is trampled on. Initiative comes to a halt and stagnation rules while your told that That the state is all. Well Folks don't you Believe it. Freedom of thought, freedom of the Individual. Freedom of creation, Freedom to defend one’s self and Family from physical harm and social and economic growth is what will save humanity . Not the new Left I reject the new Left and embrace the human spirit. To explore, to go beyond or home and find a new one. To create new worlds and see new wonders. While I know that I may not see the first Arcs or the first settlements of my descendants on Far worlds. I know that the actions I have taken in making those first steps will pave the way for the future I 'am proud to be Asgardian Ricky Sickles MP Asgardian Parliament

As we move out more and more into Space . We as a people will have to ask what benefit will it bring to those left on earth. There are those who believe we shouldn't even try , and that it's a waste of money and recourses . I disagree. Much of what we have today is due in direct or in-direct work that has been done in space . Ether in research for space mission , or in direct use in space mission's . Right now on earth there are a number of private corporations' Running at speed to see who will be the first to monetize space, many of which are working with the governments of the spacefaring nations . And making billions of dollars in the process . But most of the major players are not really looking at exploring at this time , or the continuation of humanity. Now I say most, There is one entity That is researching safe Births in space. And there is the Asgardian Nation which is looking to move humanity out into space and off the planet in permanent settlements. Asgardia's goal isn't just The quick Buck from space tourism or hotels ,Or dependence on government contracts. There goal is in a total Space Economy not depended on earth. The future research and current work being done by Asgardia is geared toward that goal#asic2019

Most Interesting that two people one who is a scientist and the other a philosopher would want to try and limit human expansion with in our solar system. While I can see some form of regulation on mining as a whole in areas of safety and claims stakes . I can't see placing areas off limits to mining or human settlement (which would be the next step)Just in order to place earth bound Elites' control ideas in space. Sorry ,I just don't buy it ,Perhaps they have investments in current companies in the space sector . which will pay big money to people in government (No matter what nation )to make regulations that are favorable to them ,thus locking or making it harder for other start ups to gain a foot hold in this new reality.https://asgardia.space/en/news/Solar-System-Needs-Protection-from-the-Gold-Rush-of-Asteroid-Miners?fbclid=IwAR3QtgNk1DmUUkmrruYnwUsGXZJlOJhg9bwUoBM8dOKEaEAlOSdos0iy2uM
