Dr. De Winne ,
I would like to introduce myself as the founding member of the first state of Asgardia: Kekistan. As of this very forum post, I am declaring the Kekistani National Party as Asgardia's first declared political party, with myself as its founding father. We declare official sovereignity over a state known as Kekistan, which is to be protected, as the Ethnic Kekistani identity has been repeatedly harmed throughout history.
I, and anyone else who chooses to stand with this cause, have decided to directly challenge recent leadership decisions; and to represent the interests of ethnic Kekistanis, who constitute well over 25% of the population of Asgardia according to internal surveys.
I have a number of comments and questions in response to what has been posted by you. They have been itemized, as this appears to be most convenient to you.
This is what was originally posted by Dr. De Winne to a (rather learned, might I add) citizen of Asgardia.
-------------------------------------------
Dear Michael,
Thank you for raising your concerns.
I greatly appreciate your dedication to Asgardia, its vision and well-being. I am sure that together we will build a great state which will change the future of our world for the better. It is particularly sensitive for me to write those words today as as big part of the team is of Russian origin, and with the tragic events in Saint Petersburg today, the idea of the better future for everyone is even closer to everyone's heart.
There are several topics which are mixed in your address, they are not related to each other.
I will try to clarify them separately:
1) My name is Lena De Winne. I am the CEO and Vice-President of NGO Asgardia. I am the only person at this point who talks officially on behalf of Dr. Ashurbeyli to media and public. I am a director at AIRC - you can find it at
airc.at
2) As announced in the Decrees, feedback will be collected and taken into account in updating the documents. I am surprised that this is questioned.
3) Civic Asgardia acts under clear guidelines which were established in public discussion and agreed upon last year. Rebekah Berg is the Lead Admin reporting to me directly.
4) The web-site asgardia.space is being further refurbished (what you see now is just a minor fraction of the new design and structure), the web-site
asgardia.com
is being designed from scratch. It is planned that they become available before end of May. They will contain a lot of information, including the organigram of the NGO Asgardia.
5) Legal advisors to Asgardia are top professionals who are aware of the UN Charter.
I hope this answers your immediate inquiries.
>Sincerely,
Lena De Winne
NGO Asgardia CEO, Vice-President, AIRC Director

In response, I must ask this, Dr. De Winne.
1) Since when does AIRC decide Asgardia's direction? I thought this was an egalitarian operation decided by direct democracy?
2) You should not be "surprised" at being questioned at all, seeing as how Asgardia has brought together masters of the STEM discipline. Questioning is part of our jobs. Questioning is the basis of ethical and empirical research. Questioning causes answers to present themselves. If this will be an environment where "questioning" will not be permitted or encouraged, we will forcibly remove your leadership over Asgardia...fast! We have seen academics such as Dr. Jordan Peterson being censored in the name of masked totalitarian ideology, and I assure you that in the name of God and Kek, this will not happen in Asgardia.
3) Rebekah Berg was "appointed" to her position on what was supposed to be a temporary basis. Not one Asgardian cast one single vote for Rebekah Berg. She has assumed this position now for several months and is unwilling to pass the bill on to somebody else. The "meetings" (which really, should be national assemblies) are conducted only between site admins and AIRC staff without any input from the public or indeed any representation at all. We have no idea what is being said and done other than what is presented on vague "agendas" providing even more vague project "timelines".
4)
NGO Asgardia is an illegal non-government corporation
, as
it has not received any licensing whatsoever from Asgardia
and has not been discussed with the community for approval. The Kekistani Party legally recognizes business entities conducting legal business in Asgardia and Kekistan proper by nature of their: a) being approved by at least one Asgardian citizen; b) presenting an official business plan or business concept for review on the Asgardian forum; c) having physical occupancy in Asgardia. Your business meets none of these criteria. Indeed, it is a foreign terrestrial entity and has no business in Asgardia or in Kekistan.
In a country, tasks are delegated to the most appropriate person, rather than decided by a select number of people. This is not a corporation This is not a sub-divison of AIRC. Things cannot operate in that manner with any degree of success. There are many enthusiastic people who have left because their cool project or idea was not given any platform at all. The direction must change quickly, or more people may leave.
I would like to also bring attention
ONCE AGAIN
to the symbolism present in the Asgardia symbol. The previous symbol contained "third eye" symbolism, which I dismissed, believing that the Asgardia / Illuminati relationship was absurd. However, your NEW symbol is very clearly Metatron's Cube. This has links to Kaballah mysticism, which is explicitly the religion of the Illuminati. I am astounded at the lack of transparency here. I did not sign up for membership to a cult. Please, if Asgardia has connections to the Illuminati's planned breakaway civilization, at least present this plan for fair and valid criticism. Asgardians have a fundamental and natural right to have control over what the government can decide for them.
.Now, I will tell you the story of how Asgardia STOLE large portions of the index on the draft of MY Asgardian Constitution. I showed my draft of the constitution to members of the "Asgardian Gaming Group" here, who also operate on Discord. A member, "Allie", showed the draft to Rebekah Berg, and the administration decided to plagiarize large portions of my constitution.
This is SHAMEFUL behaviour on the part of the administration, and the Kekistani Party WILL stop this behaviour once and for all by presenting a full version of this constitution---
as originally written by Mr. Shawn Crawford of Canada
--by the end of June.
Furthermore, the Kekistani Party will cement itself with an official manifesto and party constitution. Asgardian citizens deserve privacy in their personal endeavours.
I am also sick and tired of Asgardia operating in secret. Many discussions take place on Facebook, rather than on these forums. The forums are secure : open to all citizens of all languages and all technical aptitudes. Facebook is a corporation that does not keep Asgardians' information safe. Indeed, in past weeks Facebook has been censoring people it disagrees with and has made many attempts to mislead them with constantly links to "fake news".
I appreciate Asgardia's mission and values. I appreciate the hard and tireless work that has been performed on the Asgardia project by those involved. I appreciate this amazing institutional enterprise in all of its loving and humanist potential. However, the current administration's time has come to now take a break and allow the democratic process to continue with elections for each of the minister positions. The Kekistani National Party will do what it takes to make this happen.
In conclusion Dr. De Winne and Dr. Ashurbeyli, this is not how you manage a space nation. You should get some tips from your friends, the Draconians.
Regards,
Shawn A. Crawford, Mmc
Founder and President, Kekistani National Party of Asgardia ; Second Meme War Veteran

Hi @Bluecloud,
I'm not taking anyone's side, but we really have no need to be saying things like that regardless of how we are feeling towards the post. We need to focus on the content of the post and not the person that is making the post. ...
