The international interest shown for SEALAND in the world-wide web, especially the chronology, its philosophy, the matter of ‘looted art’, the state territory and the legal bases in connection with the German Empire has – next to the question about acquiring personal citizenship of SEALAND – steadily increased over the last two years. But two years of experience made us realise that a safe exchange of data over the internet is in no way guaranteed. The SEALAND BUSINESS CLUB creates an opportunity for every interested man or woman to acquaint themselves with the aims of SEALAND. In this context we would like to quote from the book by a well-known diplomat: “Christendom left us empoverished, because it cut us off from the cosmic roots of the tragedy, the star history of humanity. We are not born for 6000 years, but for hundreds of thausands of years. Not all of us have their roots here of Earth, rather we desecnded from other stars, as old traditions tell us. The important differences that exist on Earth are not found between Englishmen, French, Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Chileans, Argentinians, Japanese and Hindus, between whites and blacks, yellows and browns. The differences have their origins in the metaphysics through the differing provenance int he Cosmos, from stars that are in opposition, from ‘cosmic centrals’ in a way, whence the influences, the messages and the directives come. And it is this fact that cannot be changed at will without causing mayhem everywhere in the one world above and below. The war has not started here, and here it will not end. And from all this we see that human beings are not alike.” (The latter notion has meanwhile become the view of international scientists and institutions, among others the Max-Plack Institute.) And we would like to add the words by Friedrich Schiller from his text «Über das Erhabene» ( On the Sublime): “Then away with falsely construed forebearance and vapidly effeminate taste which cast a veil over the solemn face of necessity and, in order to curry favor with the senses, counterfeit a harmony between good fortune and good behavior of which not a trace is to be found in the actual world. Let us stand face to face with the evil fatality. Not in ignorance of the dangers which lurk about us - for finally there must be an end to ignorance - only in acquaintance with them lies our salvation.” The Sealand Business Club aims – according to the philosophy of SEALAND – to maintain the world-wide flow of information about and for SEALAND in the electronic media. Through a membership in The SEALAND BUSINESS CLUB contacts will be enabled for the acquisition of the SEALAND citizenship. SEALAND, in July 2002 Johannes W. F.
