LADONIA AND THE MILLENIUM

It is after all peanuts to be impressed by the new millenium. What millenium? The earth is about 4 600 000 000 years old. Starting the countdown from that point will bring us into another dimension. If we think to celibrate life on earth this would bring us to begin 3 800 000 000 years ago. Our interest of numbers could be about the human race which is 80 000 000 years old or a more modern kind about 250 000 years. The decreasing interest in the year 2 000 might come from the thought about what that number actually means. And it means nothing. 2 000 years ago nothing of particular interest happened. When we ladonians say "Happy Millenium" it is just to be polite. We prefer looking at the year of precession one precyear is 25 000 ordinary. In this dimension there is no reason to note any millenias. As a matter of fact we are in the year of 184 000 since the earth was created.

Ladonia has at the moment 4 600 citizens. We wish them all and the rest of the world a good precyear!

ANATOL THE HURRICANE
Extremely strong winds were blowing in Ladonia on the 3rd of December. The Hurricane, called Anatol, made some minor damage in Ladonia. The top of the tower of the winds went down. But it will soon be back in place.

THE COUNT
Count Ehrensvaerd is, as most of you have understood, most important and useful for Ladonia. Like most of us he has his skeletons in the cupboard. A fine example of this is his ancestor Karl August Ehrensvaerd who lived in the 18th century. We have the pleasure to present some of his drawings. It is known that the count has a fine collection of these in his castle. To paraphrase the count: Think if everyone was making drawings like this.

I wouldn't say that we are cynical with the count. One thing is that he might get what he deserves, yet another thing is his personal travel towards consciousness. His life is steadily changing since he became involved in the battle against Ladonia. He is now a media man giving interviews where he presents his limited views of what is going on (that is: think if everyone). One day he will probably understand that his forces are energy that creates another dramatic part of Ladonian history.

But he is still a man without a discourse.

IN HONOUR OF BARON JARED ELGVIN
Baron Jared Elgvin has served Ladonia since 1997. When he left the cabinet this release was sent out:

Message from the Queens Court´s pressattaché:

THE FIRST "KNIGHT OF THE NOW" INITIATED

Our beloved Queen has been so excited over the fact that we, the Ladonian
People, now have our own man who will clear up the terrible land mines in
Kossovo, so She, the Queen, has decided to dub as the very first Knight in
Ladonia:

Baron JARED von ELGVIN who is now appointed as the first real life Knight of
the NOW (Navel Of the World-order).

His first task as a Knight will be to report directly to the palace:

-1) how many mines he had cleared up,
-2) other important events by rebuilding the country under KFOR II

and the Ladonian People will be informed continuesly.

By accepting the appointment, Baron Jared gave this answer to the Queen:

Beloved Queen.

I am honoured to receive this Knighthood.
I will of course accept.
This language has no words to express the gratitude I now feel.
perhaps Japanese:
"Domo Arigato Gozeimashita"

Your humble servant.

Baron Jared von Elgvin
Frozen Minister of LRP
Knight of the NOW

Pressattaché at the Queens Court
Countess Kicki von Hankell
Ministress of the Dep. of the Guardian Angels etc

A REPORT FROM COUNTESS MADELEINE
Once again a great honor was bestowed upon this humble servant of Ladonia.

We were again honored with a visit by His Excellency, the Hungarian
Ambassador to the USA, Dr. Jeszenszky. This time we coordinated three Police Departments (University Police, Madison Police and the Village of Shorewood Hills Police) the University of Wisconsin, Wisconsin State Legislature, Department of Commerce, The Governor, and the Executive Residence. The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador was received at the Dane County Airport by The Ambassador of Ladonia to the USA, Countess Madeleine and Police Chief Jensen. From there we took His Excellency to the Executive Residence where he was the house guest of Governor and Mrs. Thompson. After the Ambassador refreshed himself we went to a luncheon at the Wilson Street Grill with State Legislators (President of the Senate, Senator Fred Risser was among them), University Deans and Professors. After lunch the Ambassador met for an hour with the University Chancellor Dr. David Ward and presented the Chancellor with two magnificent reference books about Hungary. Next came the presentation by the Ambassador entitled "The Disintegration and Integration in the Former Communist Lands." This took place at the University's glassed walled Pyle Center over Lake Mendota. The view was magnificent. The talk was very successful with a wonderful turnout by students, faculty and the general public. A wonderful reception followed where the Current Owner of the Vineyard, Bob Wollerscheim, met the Ambassador. The winery has been established by Agoston Haraszty, a Hungarian, in the mid-nineteenth century, who later migrated to California to start the wine industry in the USA. Dr. Jeszenszky was very pleased about this meeting having a son active in viniculture in Hungary.

Following the reception we transported the Ambassador back to the Executive Residence to prepare for the State Dinner given in His Excellency's honor by Governor and Mrs. Thompson. The guests included nearly the whole Cabinet, Deans, Professors, Commissioners, Attorneys, Famous Authoress, Margaret George (friend of Countess Madeleine), and bankers. Countess Madeleine was the official dinner companion of the Governor while Secretary of Commerce Brenda Blanchard kept Dr. Jeszenszky amused. Prior to dinner, cocktails were served. The dinner included steak and lobster with wonderful wines and after-dinner drinks. The conversation at the main table was centered on closer trade relations between Hungary and Wisconsin, a better developed student exchange program, Amtrak, and the trials and tribulation of Secretary Lars Vilks with the Count about Ladonia.

The Ambassador left for Washington DC the following morning being taken to the Airport from the Executive Residence by Your Ambassador to the United States.

Countess Madeleine, Lady Ambassador of Ladonia to the United States of
America, Minister of Tennis and Figure Skating.

PAGE OF POETRY CELIBRATES 1 YEAR
The famous page of poetry http://come.to/avec will soon celibrate its 1 year anniversary. Competitions, new poems and more to be found.

MINISTER OF FUTURE SCIENCE
It is well worth to visit the department of minister
Hartman:

OERTUG MILLIONAIRE
Ladonia is still waiting for its first millionaire. A suggestion from minister Hartman is to find our first. So we ask: Who wants to be a millionaire?

THE NAZIS
Up
Hans Kjellman, Lord of invisible light, told us that:

0Naziorganisations all over the world is trying to bring Adolf Hitler on the top of the list of the most important person of the millenium in a voting which Time Magazine has on the net. Right now Adolf is number 3. If you want to change this you can give your vote at this address:

http://www.pathfinder.com/time/time100/poc/century.html

Adolf had a strong talent for absurd comedy. The tragic thing is that he was taken seriously by his audience. It was even more tragic that he took himself seriously. We have the same problem today with the nazis. They are acting in the most Monthe Pyton manner but are not able to establish any humorous points.

CLOSING DOWN BARSEBAECK
Her Majesty the Queen and minister Gunnar Jarl are proposing a new tradition for the 30th of November celibrating the closing of the nuclear power station Barsebaeck. At 18 hours on this day all electricity should be turned off. You should then go out in the darkness and recite:

What is going aweck?
Barsebaeck!
What will ind?
Sun and wind 0

At 19 hours all electricity is to be turned on to cause a break down through overcharge.

THE CLICK
The clicking has become popular with:

Go to http://www.thehungersite.com/index.html and saving a starving kid is just a klick away!
State Graphic Vera Porad means that here we have some progress for mankind:

"Klicking" is the biggest exertion of contemporary man. To think that our ancestors sweated, even BLED, in their efforts to find truth, beauty and humanity is totally beyond tomorrow's (and today's) "Futurekids".

Horatius is not impressed and says:

Do you call that a Breakthrough? Well, I have discovered that the earth is flat! How about that?
http://www.common.se/horatius/platt.html

>From the click to the flat earth, a rather good turn of the topic. But I would say that Horatius is holding back the best possibilities. Not only that we can mean that the earth is flat. The earth is also the center of the universe. Everything is rotating around or expanding away from the earth. And it is obvious that the center of the universe, no doubt, is to be found in Ladonia, at the point where Omfalos is standing. If you are standing there everything is around you.

REPORT FROM HUNGARY
Minister Sandor Posvari, has written this report from Hungary:

I think this year was the hardest in the history of Ladonia. As the
Hungarian-Ladonians said, their dream an independent Ladonia with a real passport. The are waiting for a strong decition, for a strong storm, because the Hungarian TVs like to show pictoures about our Ladonia.
I have to tell you, that in Hungary we are waiting for the so called
Internet-BOOM. The expenses of a 40hours Internet access were detected by the OECD in the near past. Please visit my site (http://euroastra.com) and on the front page you will find the OECD-histogramm.
We do hope, that in the near future thousands of Hungarians will get the possibilities to use the Internet with more realistic expenses. If it so, than we have to be prepared to get new hundreds of citizens in Ladonia.
Take care!
Waaaaallllllllll!

MINISTER OF ACCOMODATION HUNTING WITH THE COUNT
Our so dear count Ehrensvaerd likes hunting counts do and on this occasion he was in company with Thomas Diestel our minister of accomodation. This was Ladonia´s first meeting with the enemy. Minister Diestel mentioned our plans of asphalting a part of Ladonia in order to make it possible to ride them H-D motorbikes.

NEW POLITICAL PARTY
Andreas Gren has started a new political party called Whyamidoingthis:

I have decided that my party has one member and that is me.

In the party, which is called Whyamidoingthis, has two political trademarks.

1. All people who work "for racial hate" should be arrested and thrown to the great white sharks that doesn't exist on our coast.

2. All light drugs like cannabis, meskalin and psilocybe should stay legal for all futures. Reason for this is that you'll become extremly open minded when you use these kind of drugs. An open mind makes you think and create. This is why Sweden has all their problems. THEY ARE NOT OPEN MINDED!!!

So vote for the Whyamidoingthis party!

I will change your life!!! 0

WORDS FROM ANDREAS GREN
"Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; because they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny."

LUCIA DAY 13TH OF DECEMBER
The pseudonym 0Guest 0 came up with this proposal for celibrating the Lucia day in Ladonia:

Lest we forget our children in Ladonia. I propose we
have our own version of St. Lucia Day here in Ladonia.
That means Ladonia style. What is that style?
I thought I would ask you all.
I invision a ballet of the eldest girl spinning slowly around as each as candle on her head is lit.
"At the head of the group walks a pretty girl in a long, white dress. Upon her head she wears a crown of green leaves and seven
candles, they are lit by 7 boys as she spins around. In her hands she carries a tray of little rocks
7 girls pitch them into the sea in a line after "St. Lucia" hands them out. some younger girls, also in white, carrying candles. The 7 boys in tall (who lit the candles), in pointed hats follow them.
They line up boys and girls turn around facing Sweden yelling or singing "WAAAAAALLLL". Then
walk way.

THE POLL
Voting for the human of the millenium is still going on. The voting, arranged by Lord Aslak, minister of propaganda, has so far this result:

As we now enter December and have merely a month to go before New Years Eve, I maybe you'll be interested in how 0.0064% of our fellow Ladonians have voted. Here's the leaderboard:

Einstein 6
Vilks, L. 4
Mother,
Theresa 3
DaVinci 3
Darwin 2
Duchamps 2
Jung 2
Jong, Erica 1
Kant 1
Curie, M. 1

Beethoven 0
Gandhi, M. 0
Jeanne d'Arc 0
Jobs, S. 0

It is somewhat interesting to see that for Ladonians Mr Vilks is the second most great mind of the past Millennium greater than Mother Theresa and Leonardo da Vinci second only to Albert Einstein...

SHAMIR MYSTICS
Posted by Lin Smith on November 17, 1999 at 00:43:41:
I found this information while I was researching the leadership of King Solomon. It deals with a "device" called a "SHAMIR" claimed to split stone as used in "THE TEMPLE". This is very strange information. Since Ladonia is full of rock, who knows if there are more "devices" like this one, be it spirit or technology.
If nothing else it makes for a great story.

A LOOK IN THE PRESIDENTS FAMILY ALBUM
This years Christmas gift from the president is a glimpse in his family album. Here he generously shares his memories from this years vacation with his wife Mariangela to Easter Island and Bora Bora. See the enchanting images and also the lovely president son, Joăo!

AT THE END OF THE DAY
A word from our Minister of Health
Certain women are born directly out of the heads of men. All was foggy and
relaxed and grey in the deepest womb of Autumn. Our Minister of Health,
Doktor Emanuel von Bock, cut the fogs with His white little Toyota from the
mid eighties at high speed. Fortunately few other cars were around, which
brought the Doktor to a cheerful mood. His brand new winter tyres were
humming in the never ending bends of a windy road. The fogs became
transparent above Him as a delicate ice blue veil, and along the western
horizon a cleft of gold appeared.

In this gold lay a fishing village, bathing in sharply infalling sunlight, and behind its dark wet roofs begun to emerge a hilly rocky peninsula, the home of Ladonia. Doktor Emanuel von Bock passed the village, went up in the hills into the woods, and stopped in front of a little house. Out of the house skipped Emanuelle, a virtuoso violinist.

Few people know about Outer Ladonia. According to legend, Old King Ladon saw it rise out of the sea, and it is believed this land later merged with the far part of the peninsula. Doktor von Bock was about to take Emanuelle, the vitruoso violinist, to these remains of Outer Ladonia. Both were well equipped with long shafted boots, the Doktor had a towel around His neck, and off they walked into the wilderness.

After some time the Doktor found an overgrovn path towards the Northern precipieces, and also the narrow steep ravine leading to what is known to the initiated Doktor Himself as the Field of Warriors. In the damp and loose rattle of rocks both had hard work to find a safe way down.

And finally, there they stood, face to face with the Warriors, exactly as the Doktor had left them over ten years earlier, long before the First Independence Day of Ladonia. The precise function of these Stone Warriors were entrusted the virtuoso violinist as a secret to keep. She stood in silence a long while, then climbed carefully over to every one of them, studied their heavy bodies, how the stones had been fitted together, some red, others dark grey, most with square corners, and many overgrown by lavae. She admired the stones, their exquisite colour, felt their chunky nature, and she peeped through an interstice between the stones, at grey stately reflections from the waves down in the cove, and listened how they were washing the heavy rocks with old songs.

Meanwhile, the Doctor had moved closer to the water and carefully laid His towel four times folded on the only large boulder which had a smooth surface, and sat down on it to meditate, cross legged, hands in lap, dark rock walls looming behind under a fringe of leafless trees high up. "This is the Great Adultery Stone", he meditated, "the Mary Stone".

As the Doktor reopened His eyes, the sky had darkened and God's brush had worked it over with strokes of turquoise between scarce violet clouds, so an illusion of immense space had been created, and behind the shaded rocks a magnificient sunset must have been in course. The Doktor beaconed to the virtuoso violinist it was time to leave. Since He reluctantly climbed the same way back, He led them instead along passages towards the west, over a square world coloured as if poured over with dark red wine, and when they reached a little cove with pebbles, the virtuoso violinist exclaimed behind the doktor: "I wish to swim, I wish to swim!". She jumped out of her clothes remarkably quickly, her tender white limbs and flying hair danced in the dusk around the Doktor, then with courageous strides straight out into the sea, and vanished with a splash down under. The Doktor, left behind like an old oak beside a pile of clothes, had to follow.

Every late autumn bather knows how much warmer it feels standing wet with the towel in the wind after the dip than undressing before. Thus, the Doktor, standing on the shafts of his boots, overlooking the murmuring sea,
the dark shade of the mountain, the sky and its first stars, leisurely drying himself, had reached a state of extasy. He dressed and felt a simple gratitude for the warmth from his clothes, and he went back up to the woods where his car had been parked. On his way home the car radio played some sacred music, and it was Father's Day.

Profecy

The Third Millenium approaches. It is customary to practise divination on such occasions. Everybody has his own way. The Ministry of Health asked the I CHING oracle. The hexagram "I" emerged, number 27, meaning "Nourishment" - thunder below and mountain above. Nine in first line, six in second and six in fifth. With firm correctness there will be good fortune. We must look at what we are seeking to nourish, and by the excercise of our thoughts seek for the proper ailment - i.e. We must look to our own nourishing ourselves. We must look at those whom we wish to nourish. Heaven and earth nourish all things. The sages nourish men of talent and virtue, by them to reach to the myriads of the people. Great is (the work intended by this) nourishing in its time. Superior man enjoins watchfulness over our words, and the temperate regulation of our eating and drinking. The lines: Nine in first, Be watchful of your nobleness. Six in second, Do not look downwards for nourishment. Six in fifth, Abide in firmness.

The Ministry of Health in Ladonia wishes All Men a Happy and Prosperous Third Millenium.
