Scientists and legal experts have unveiled plans for the "first nation
state in space." The state is called "Asgardia" after one of the
mythical worlds inhabited by the Norse gods, and it will eventually
become a member of the United Nations -- complete with its own flag
and anthem. The Guardian reports: According to the project website,
Asgardia "will offer an independent platform free from the constraint
of a land-based country's laws. It will become a place it in orbit
which is truly 'no man's land.'" Initially, it would seem, this new
nation will consist of a single satellite, scheduled to be launched
next year, with its citizens residing firmly on terra firma. Speaking
to the Guardian through an interpreter, the project lead Igor
Ashurbeyli, said: "Physically the citizens of that nation state will
be on Earth; they will be living on different countries on Earth, so
they will be a citizen of their own country and at the same time they
will be citizens of Asgardia." "When the number of those applications
goes above 100,000 we can officially apply to the UN for the status of
state," he added. According to the project website, "Any human living
on Earth can become a citizen of Asgardia," with the site featuring a
simple registration form. At the time of writing more than 1000
individuals had already signed up. At present, the Outer Space Treaty
that underpins international space law states that responsibility and
liability for objects sent into space lies with the nation that
launched them. But the project team claims that Asgardia will set a
new precedent, shifting responsibility to the new "space nation"
itself. "The existing state agencies represent interests of their own
countries and there are not so many countries in the world that have
those space agencies," said Ashurbeyli. "The ultimate aim is to create
a legal platform to ensure protection of planet Earth and to provide
access to space technologies for those who do not have that access at
the moment."

Yup. A large percentage of people fall for some type of
cult-of-personality. And those movements or ideologies that don't start
with explicit leaders, end up electing certain figures by consensus
opinion, and then quoting them as authorities, and using their words to
justify one's own opinions or beliefs. The amount of 'atheists' that
piously quote Dawkins, for instance, is always amusing to me.

Excellent point. At bottom, truly anti-Orthodox opinions in general stay
strictly the domain of a small percent of truly free thinkers.

What we need then is a conspiracy of well-placed scientists and doctors to
isolate those genetic markers, keep the work secret, and to create a
retrovirus that can unleashed to cause the required DNA rewrite. That
technology could be close, as well.

Prison leaves no person unchanged. This list is something else. I can't hardly 
believe the people that frequent here. I often wonder about the people that 
don't say anything. The first time I read this list was sometime in mid to late 
90's. If I remember right, there was a lot of code posted that I didn't have 
any clue about.

The current incarnation of projectpm he links to in the article is still
being DNS'd by Cloudflare. That happened right after he was arrested and
the domain changed. It was my line of questioning when I was set up for
an ambush interview on twitter with Cloudflare's CEO by Yasha Levine.
All he said was something about the people at the site oking it, but he
never stated who (didn't expect him to divulge that info) and waffled
when asked if Barrett's people had authorized it or the server's OWNER
had authorized it, then shut the convo down.

The IP is currently registered to "Incapsula" which appears to be
're-leasing' Cloudflare's DNS to the public and the identity of person
or persons owning the domain name is identity protected.

I WOULD NOT trust it. Barrett had addictive problems, an easy mark if
the government was trying to get him to 'turn'. Junkies don't have the
kind of ethics you'd want to risk your freedom over.

Just sayin'

It is funny, in a sad way, to see a nominally "anarchist oriented"
forum dominated by people bickering over the relative virtues of their
preferred nationalist heroes, a.k.a. mass murderers and their excuses
for same.  Funny, but inevitable.

The problem of controlled mass delusion has been recognized as a
problem for at least a couple of thousand years - see the early
Gnostic literature, modern Sufi praxis, and everything in between.
There has been no significant progress beyond that already
accomplished in ancient times.  Factual information and practical
object lessons have no impact, unless the percipient already has a
strong predisposition for self observation and meta-thinking, which
apparently requires some unusual combination of genetics and early
environmental drivers.

No, I think it's because you have nothing interesting to say on the list. I've

There are different lists for different purposes. You don't get to dictate how 
the individual admins configure their software. That would hardly be in line

Well, since any 'american' forum, including this one, is usually
