Election Campaigns = Deal Promises… During US presidential election campaigns, politicians often become beholden to business interests through a complex system of campaign financing. Wealthy donors, corporations, and Super PACs contribute substantial sums to candidates' campaigns and allied organizations, often with the expectation of gaining influence over future policy decisions. This creates a transactional relationship where politicians may feel obligated to support regulatory changes or other initiatives that benefit their major donors' business interests. The system allows for virtually unlimited spending by Super PACs, which can accept massive contributions from individuals and corporations, further amplifying the influence of big money in politics. This dynamic raises significant concerns about potential corruption and the outsized impact of corporate interests on the democratic process. The Orange Oaf and the X-Afrikaner are primed for these type of things…

In a remarkable article,🕴️Lucien Rapp showed in 2021 that #Compliance #Law could make up for the weakness of the rules that currently govern space. 🧱🕴️Lucien Rapp, 📝𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 ➡️https://lnkd.in/e5eEYH-V in 🕴️M.-A.

Faced with this, the #companies concerned had to, or must, build themselves, by joining forces with #supervisors and #judges, a #credible and #sustainable compliance system. In particular through commitments that develop over time. Failing this, another player, #China, which is committed to #duration, will take over the space by blocking the traditional way of governing #territories, i.e. #International Law. 🧱🕴️Regis Bismuth, 📝𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐭𝐲  ➡️  in 🕴️M.-A.

In last quite a few centuries on this planet's capitalism history, the rule seems to be that who have the power, resources, etc. to obtain and control something they own it. Putting the same principle into space, although NASA has Artemis program trying to gather funding and other resources to conquer the Moon, compared with the program operated by China and attended by Russia, France and other countries, China group seems move forward faster and more steady. In next some decades, it's quite possible that China, with some nations, will have the control of Moon and Mars😊 https://lnkd.in/gjUkag7S

**Of truth, consequences, and the future** This is published in longer form over on substack. Click the link below. I and our entire EVSN staff have decided we will continue to report the full truth, including reporting on aerospace companies breaking laws / rules / regulations, and reporting on predicted outcomes of different actions / authorizations / deregulation.  As always, our reporting will be rooted in facts and in science. We recognize this will likely cost us some of our donors, could cost us some of our funding, and may put us personally at risk if the worst-case, retribution against detractors, threats becomes actions. We would rather face consequences than try and live with ourselves knowing we didn’t present the complete story about what is going on in space science (which includes Earth science) and aerospace.

Big big news! The #Moon is getting very popular. Bearing the concepts of nonappropriation and due regard in mind, it is more important than ever to start outlining some rules of the road. and of course, #LunarGovernance should start with #Preservation. #ProtectTheBootprints https://lnkd.in/eUpPDeGX

Office of Communication will not argue that e-voting systems should be viewed, only as a supplement to, and not a replacement of the existing paper-based voting systems. The suggestion is based on the record of digital divide, the lack of equal access opportunity to the Internet connectivity satellite constellation (Starlink Funds, FCC), liberty, civil participation and social justice and to the FCC infrastructure means (probes to FCC decision to revoke Starlink Funds, 2020, $888.5 million through RDOF). SpaceX connecting means and possibilities of participation, based on FCC (bringing back decision, cancellation of the revoked decision) will lead to the opposite effect, the exclusion of “FCC not connected or illiterate” from information sharing is illegal. The lack of equal access opportunity to the Internet and to the FCC infrastructure means that the democratic process, the right to vote and citizen participation in information sharing is blocked. The government experiences the crisis of confidence. The representative democracy, democratic process and respect constitutions 2 and 1 amendments are not respected. These published lists will detail those Secretary’s and Members of the Congress that will hold a government post, their position and department will be browsed online. Secretaries for Trump's Government will be ordered by Secretary’s ranking, the Office of Cabinet Affairs, Office of the Chief of Staff. The Cabinet's role is to advise the President on any subject which I may require, it is related to the duties of each member's respective office. President Office and Office of the First Lady, Office of the Social Secretary, Office of Legislative Affairs, and Office of Management and Administration, these entities will exist within the Executive Office of the President, President will appoint Secretary of Justice Attorney General, and Secretary of Department of Justice, and other Secretary’s. President will decide on this matter. The Cabinet will include the Vice President and the heads of executive departments, the Secretaries of Agriculture, Defence, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health, etc. Secretary (government) is a politician who heads a ministry, will make and implement decisions on policies in conjunction with the other ministers. US Cabinet officers (Secretary) will choose to go with Council of Economic Advisers, National Security Council, Office of Administration, Office of Management and Budget, White House Office (other entities) when President say. These entities, will exist within the Domestic Policy Council, the White House Office, the Office of the United States Trade Representative, Office of National Drug Control Policy; Office of Science and Technology Policy, NASA, Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation, White House Rural Council, National Security Advisor, National Economic Council or President will organise the government different from that.

The American tech industry, which already wields a near monopoly on owning, controlling, and designing our communication systems on Earth, is now moving into space. Why? Because it imagines space as a place not only of profit and green solutions, but of political revolution too - one that has CEO's as the societal leaders of tomorrow. Read about the political utopias of the rising American space industry in my new DIIS-report and learn how and why they already impact space ecology, space geopolitics, global order, and the stability of American democracy and foreign policy: https://lnkd.in/dTTXVNBn
