President Obama should legalise micronations

The following letter was sent to the Honorables Carolyn McCarthy, Kirsten Gillibrand, Chuck Schumer, and Barack Obama:

Dear Decision Maker,

We, the leaders, citizens, or friends of micronations, urge you and President Barack Obama to adopt a policy that encourages the legalisation of micronations as nonprofit legal socio-economic entities, which are owed at least the same real autonomy, and the same fiscal status by governments as churches.

We urge you and President Barack Obama to encourage the development of a new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code that will grant true micronations, which find approval with a special new agency in the U.S. Department of State, the status of international missions independent of any particular state, which have at least a US-recognised right to exist as alternative governments, and which do exist not for the purpose of profit, but for the nonprofit purpose of fostering community, positive societal change, progress, and freedom.

We ask you and President Barack Obama to grant true micronations the status of legitimate, but not fully recognised missions of autonomous small nations or states.

We do not ask you and President Barack Obama to recognise any micronational territorial claims, or allow for an extension of the letter and spirit of the Vienna Conventions of 1961 and 1963. We simply ask you to enable fiscal and diplomatic policy that would allow genuine micronational missions “to be considered sovereign, until proven dependent”, respecting the full spirit of the Montevideo Convention. We ask you and President Barack Obama to allow genuine micronational missions to exist legally as nonprofit organisations; that they be treated like separate-from-the-state churches; and that they be treated as nonprofits for fiscal purposes.

We ask you and President Barack Obama to fully embrace the Montevideo Convention and its premises not just with words, but in its spirit, so as to foster the dignity of even small unrecognised nations or states, and so as to enable the fulfilment of this prophecy:

And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. (Isaiah 11:6)

“All Religions Are Cults” published

All Religions Are Cults

The Micronational Professional Registry (MPR) announces that the book, All Religions Are Cults: And What a Few Good Priests, Monks, Rabbis and Mullahs Can Do About It (ISBN10: 1449553559; EAN13: 9781449553555), has been published on 17 October 2009.

The author of the book is the Hon Most Rev Dr Cesidio Tallini, President of the MPR, and the book was published through CreateSpace.

This book is ecumenical, interreligious, and metareligious in nature. It may have a provocative title, but it is the subtitle that says what the book is really about.

The book is not simply an attack on religion, but offers ideas for improving religion, any religion. It defines what makes a true religion, in the most positive meaning of the term, and what makes a cult, in the most negative meaning. Rather than just pointing fingers, however, the book introduces the six criteria that make a religion, even a minority religion a true religion, and these ideas can be used to improve every religion by its believers, or by those who are priests, monks, rabbis, mullahs, religious people of any kind, or theologians.

This book is for everyone, with religious ideas applicable to all religions, even Islam — in fact, the author justifies the applicability and necessity of the book by citing both the Qur’an and Muhammad.

This book can increase or promote interreligious dialogue, and in a way that does not offend anyone in particular. It could also give new lustre to all religions with followers and clergy with an open mind.

You may purchase a copy of the book for the low price of $12.95 at the URL below:

The book can also be purchased through Amazon.com as soon as it is available.

The “Smoke and Mirrors” Sovereign States

The field of secession and/or micronationalism, Fourth and Fifth World Studies if you will, is full of cynical statists like the author of the article below:

Fictional Sovereignties
http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/opinon/2009/08/160_50544.html

It is also full of romantic nationalists, like the author of this article:

Is Secession Anarchy, Treason, and Un-American?
http://secessionuniversity.com/2009/09/02/is-secession-anarchy/

The few people in the middle who are neither cynical statists, nor romantic nationalists, but matter-of-fact political scientists who can demonstrate their theories, and even back them with elegant models in the form of equations like the author of the article below, don’t receive any support:

Book about Advanced Micronationalism published
http://www.prlog.org/10310963-book-about-advanced-micronationalism-published.html

If some of the strongest Fourth World nations such as Texas are “fictional sovereignties”, then how come a secessionist rally of a mere 200 people required the concerted effort of at least 10 different Examiner.com articles against secession, and this does not include the overwhelming negative mass media bias from all the other news outlets?

I have not read a single mass media article in favour of secession so far, nor have I read a single article of neutral, fact-finding “investigative journalism”. In the mass media secession or micronationalism topics are either treated like lunacy, viewed as illegitimate, viewed as a “settled with the US Civil War” issues, or are somehow viewed as anti-American. Where is the research that proves this? I don’t see any real journalism; I only see ad hominem attacks on secessionists, if not articles designed to outright defame them.

If First World states are not “smoke and mirrors” sovereign states today, have not themselves become “banana republics” as socioeconomic problems have multiplied, and they fiddled their thumbs promoting the interests of the few, rather than the many as their public positions morally and legally required, then how come they no longer have any control of the economy anymore?

What happened to wholesome democratic values, the separation of church and state no longer practiced since churches have begun to be pressured to seek incorporation? What happened to US state sovereignty supposedly sanctioned by the Tenth Amendment? Is it just just a form of “clipped sovereignty”, where the federal government retains only certain powers, or has the federal government of the United States in fact turned US states that where originally sovereign into colonies, American empire colonies no longer even capable of maintaining minimum economic standards for their citizens?

What happened to Freedom of Speech supposedly sanctioned under the First Amendment, but now only the exclusive property of mass media monopoly? Why has the US government not intervened to break up monopolies here? What about the US state governments? What have they done to ensure a reasonably free and diverse public discourse?

Finally, what happened to the separation of state and citizen roles, something never mentioned even by the US’s brightest legal scholars, where the state(s) retain(s) only certain (public) rights, and none of these rights should be construed to deny or disparage other (private) rights retained by the people, including the right to make a living, the right to run one’s life as one pleases, something supposedly sanctioned under the Ninth Amendment?

What happened to such a promising economic system as capitalism? Where are all the jobs our healthy and apparent “First World” economy is supposed to have?

What is the media trying to hide? They are certainly not examining these issues with any credible journalism. Why instead of informing, or even trying to inform, do they engage in a campaign of disinformation whenever secession or micronationalism is mentioned? Who do these puppets work for, these organisations who would like everyone to believe they exist to “inform the public”, to “protect democracy”, and who is actually pulling their strings? What makes the work of the American media in this field any different or superior to the propaganda generated by the media of the former Soviet Union?

Is the United States a First World country anymore, or is it a Banana Republic? Are current UN members genuinely sovereign states, or “smoke and mirrors” sovereign states? Is the corporate mass media part of the solution to these problems, or is it only another industry protecting its turf, even at the expense of its mission statement lately?

Cesidian law jurisdictions

On 28 August 2009, HMRD Cesidio Tallini launched a new legal concept: the Cesidian law jurisdiction.

Cesidian law jurisdictions have four fundamental characteristics:

1. They follow liberating Cesidian law as a common law norm;
2. They observe Cyberterra Mean Time (CMT) or Cyberterra Meridian Time as a time standard and chronological format;
3. They allow Fifth World Health Organisation (5WHO) professionals to practice within their dwellings or buildings; and
4. They utilise the Cesidian Root, an intercontinental alternative DNS root.

This idea allows people to not only begin to break free of the (often oppressive) ties they have to a specific jurisdiction, but allows them to begin to do so even if everyone, or the majority of their neighbours, does not believe in secession, and in fact it doesn’t even oblige people to change their nationality o citizenship.

The virtual City of Cyberterra has become the first Cesidian law jurisdiction:

If anyone desires to register their dwelling or building to Cyberterra, and/or begin to promote, or even improve this basic idea, please contact HMRD Cesidio Tallini at the URL below:

New MPR policy towards CPCs

On 14 August 2009, the Micronational Professional Registry (MPR) has enacted a new policy: any sovereign state recognised by the MPR that ends up on the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom’s (USCIRF) list of “Countries of Particular Concern” (CPC) — the US government’s designation for countries with ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom — shall cease to be recognised by the MPR. Sovereign states on the CPC list that were not already recognised, shall automatically become natio non grata, and shall be treated like nations on the MPR’s Certified Terrorist Nations (CTN) ^εν list.

Current states on the CPC list:

• China
• Eritrea
• Iran
• Iraq
• Myanmar
• Nigeria
• North Korea
• Pakistan
• Saudi Arabia
• Sudan
• Turkmenistan
• Uzbekistan
• Vietnam

Current nations on the MPR’s CTN list:

• Kingdom of EnenKio

It should be noted that the MPR recognises a free Burma, and the people or nation of Burma, not the Myanmar government, or the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (NCGUB). These latter two entities have no relations with the MPR. All Micronational Professional Registry recognition is de facto, not de jure.

The following nations recognise all states, nations, and other entities that the MPR recognises in a de facto manner: 1) Independent Long Island (ILI); 2) the United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA); and 3) TTF-Bucksfan. MPR member nations are not obliged to follow the MPR in their foreign policy, although some nations/organisations have supported similar policies in the past. MPR members that wish to begin to follow similar policies to the MPR can contact the Hon Most Rev Dr Cesidio Tallini at his contact page below:

http://kontactr.com/user/hmrdct

Besides being an international professional registry, the MPR is a serious unrecognised government organisation (SUGO). It also issues independent intellectual property instruments such as Print Monopolies (PM), Enterprise Names (εν), Enterprise Marks (εμ), and MPR Patents (π). So far, two books with valid individual International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) have been published with the MPR’s Print Monopoly (PM) standard, including the book, The Fifth World: Micronationalism on Steroids.

This policy towards “Countries of Particular Concern” (CPC) is the only policy in which the MPR is practically in sync with the policy of a foreign government. The MPR is not a governmental organisation, but a nongovernmental organisation with special functions.

Book about Advanced Micronationalism published

The Fifth World

The Micronational Professional Registry (MPR) announces that the book, The Fifth World: Micronationalism on Steroids (ISBN10: 1448663539; EAN13: 9781448663538), has been published on 8 August 2009.

The author of the book is the Hon Most Rev Dr Cesidio Tallini, President of the MPR, and the book was published by CreateSpace. It is the result of over six months of research and writing, and based on the author’s more than a decade of experience.

This is a book about advanced micronationalism, Fifth World mythology, and nation-building.

After an introductory description of the First, Second, and Third Worlds (the Official World), the author goes on to also describe the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Worlds (secessionist groups, irredentist groups, and micronations).

The author describes how the Fifth World began; gives growth strategies for micronations; mentions the legalities of micronations; talks about the new (and real) Indigo race; discusses the mythology of the Fifth World under a Native American, Theosophical, and Christian perspective; and finally, mentions micronation building and branding strategies, micronational etymology, and polycentric law.

This book is not another travel guide to micronations, but about what it takes to build a reasonably successful micronation. It is also more than just a how-to guide, since the book uncovers at least two new discoveries in the field of political science. A profound and meaningful book, it will make a great and memorable gift, especially for young readers.

You may purchase copies of the book at the following URL:

Fifth World Health Organisation rejects findings of USCCB

In a statement emailed to all its health professionals today, the Fifth World Health Organisation (5WHO) has rejected the findings of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).

In a document issued on 25 March 2009, “Guidelines for Evaluating Reiki as an Alternative Therapy“, the USCCB has said that Reiki is both unscientific and non-Christian.

The Fifth World Health Organisation (5WHO), on the other hand, recognises all drugless, surgery-free, and noninvasive naturopathic modalities without prejudice.

Reiki is a method of stress reduction that also promotes healing. Lay practitioners have used it for more than 90 years, and its popularity is growing. In 2002, over one million adults in the US received one or more Reiki sessions. Physicians and nurses are beginning to recognise the value Reiki, and have begun adding it to services provided by hospitals, medical clinics, and hospice programs. Practitioners indicate that Reiki reduces stress, decreases the need for pain medication, improves sleep and appetite, and accelerates the healing process. They also indicate that Reiki reduces many of the unwanted side effects of radiation and drugs, including chemotherapy (source).

The 5WHO made it known in the email that citing Reiki as unscientific is a poor justification overall in view of the many observed benefits.

This is an especially poor justification from a Catholic point of view as well.

The path to sainthood passes through a team of physicians, who pore over medical texts, patient charts, and test results to make sure a healing is medically inexplicable (in other words, scientifically impossible). The criteria for judging miraculous healings are still those laid out 275 years ago by Cardinal Prospero Lambertini, the future Pope Benedict XIV, who insisted that

• the illness or defect must be serious, incurable, or extremely difficult to treat
• spontaneous cures should be unknown to occur in similar illnesses
• no medical intervention used in the case could explain the cure
• the cure was unexpected and instantaneous
• the cure was complete and lasting

It is interesting to note that normally the Catholic Church makes Saints out of scientifically impossible healings, while the healings promoted by other unscientific means are called devils or considered demonic.

One must also add that the 15-19 May 2009 study week on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), sponsored by the Pontifical Academy for Sciences, ended with a strong endorsement of GMOs as “praiseworthy for improving the lives of the poor”, and promising “improved food safety and health benefits, better food security, and enhanced environmental performance in a sustainable manner” (source). While the Pontifical Academy for Sciences does not set official church teaching, it is nonetheless a prestigious Vatican body.

The 5WHO has pointed out that not only have GMOs not really been proven safe or effective by scientists not directly financed by biotechnology companies, but one should also note that genetic engineering is non-Christian also.

It is only the superstition called scientism — the view that natural science has authority over all other interpretations of life, such as philosophical, religious, mythical, spiritual, or humanistic explanations, and over other fields of inquiry, such as the social sciences, a view that is also very non-Christian — that prevents one from reaching to the conclusion that both Reiki and genetic engineering are non-Christian ways of dealing with problems.

It is for these reasons that the Fifth World Health Organisation (5WHO) has rejected the conclusions of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), and cited them as being

• eccessively prejudicial towards Buddhist or Eastern religious thinking
• eccessively scientistic (scientistic beliefs being extremely biased, and also non-Christian-centric views)
• naive as a healing philosophy, since the cause of all healing is the human body itself, and faith in its natural ability to heal (Yeshua, in fact, never said “I cured you” but “your faith has cured you”)
• a violation of the Cesidian law concept of jus humanae salutis (Latin for “right of human health [or salvation]“)

Micronationalism becomes protoscience

When Cesidio Tallini began theorising about the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Worlds, people didn’t take his work seriously, including many micronationalists. The academic world was already abandoning the Official World trinity of First, Second, and Third Worlds as some kind of Cold War relict.

After a few years, however, many began to accept Tallini’s theories as a little more than speculation or convenient convention. Somehow, somewhere, the theories made sense.

In reality, the terms First, Second, and Third World can be best understood through the 2007 Human Development Index (HDI) map, where blue countries correspond roughly with the modern First World, yellow countries with the modern Second World, and red countries with the modern Third World.

So countries like Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States can be considered First World nations.

Countries like Albania, Myanmar, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Venezuela and Vietnam can be considered Second World nations.

Finally, countries like Bangladesh, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Laos, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Yemen, and Zimbabwe can be considered Third World nations. The differences between these three worlds are entirely economic, not juridical. In the Official World, the differences between the First and Third Worlds are largely economic, since the level of de jure sovereignty is constant throughout.

The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth World, on the other hand, according to independent scholars not living in cloistered and warm academic towers, comprises nations without fully recognised states, and thus outside of the United Nations. In the Non-Official World, the differences are largely juridical, not economic, since there is a great deal of variation in the level of de facto sovereignty.

At one end of the Non-Official World, a Fourth World nation is a medium- to large-sized nation without a significantly recognised state. Fourth World nations, whether old or new, with many supporters or few, always have or claim a substantial territory. The term Fourth World nation can be used interchangeably with the term self-determination or secessionist group.

At other end of the Non-Official World spectrum, a Sixth World nation is a small nation, usually based on the Internet. The term Sixth World nation can be used interchangeably with the term micronation, although it was discovered that most micronations don’t actually fall under this category.

A Fifth World nation, on the other hand, is a small nation with a strong and established national identity. The Fifth World can be either territorial or virtual, ethnic or non-ethic, so it is actually midway in characteristics between the Fourth and Sixth Worlds. A Fifth World nation is a mature micronation. The term Fifth World nation can be used interchangeably with the term social identity or irredentist group.

These are fine ideas, of course, but they were little more than speculation until yesterday, when Tallini starting writing a charter for a new international organisation that is slowly coming to life. It was while writing this charter that Tallini stumbled upon a few novel ideas that more accurately and more sequentially define Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth World nations.

This morning, Tallini gave the new idea a more solid foundation by combining empirical observations with sound mathematics. The n-result is the Tallini World Formula.

The Tallini World Formula is a third degree equation. When you input n into the equation, the world number, the Tallini World Formula allows you to calculate a_n, which is the number of world categories for the specific world number.

You can view the Tallini World Formula at the following link, along with a table of good practical examples:

http://mpr.cyberterra.net/official-and-non.html

There are indeed Sixth Worlds, as Tallini postulated in the past, and the Tallini World Formula shows that very clearly, and also gives the actual components of these sixth worlds.

Ladies and gentlemen, micronationalism as a subject may still be laughed at in most Official World cocktail parties. In reality, however, it is becoming a science.

More candidates than people

Morterone, in the province of Lecco, is the smallest municipality of Italy, the village with the smallest number of residents of any city: 33 souls, according the latest update of their website.

The village is so small it doesn’t have an elementary school, it doesn’t have a pharmacy, it doesn’t even have a pub.

“Don’t ask us what the village lacks.” — Giada’s father tells us. “It is quicker for me to say what we have: we have nothing.” The town is so small that its cemetery is as large as a courtyard.

But the funniest thing is that there, on 6-7 June 2009, three voting lists will compete with each other representing altogether 34 candidates, mayors included, and this with respect to the 32 persons in the village actually having a right to vote.

What do people have against micronations, when you really think about it? At least in micronations the supply of political candidates does not exceed the demand!
