Those uniforms look very Nazi-like or Star Wars Empire. TERRIBLE. The Moon is NOT ours. I am a rebel freedom fighter for the Alliance as a Jedi Red 13 Skywalker, so no big surprise here. ππ«π
Regardless of Trumps public edict or Elon’s money via Starship and supplies poured into a Moonbase or Artemis Mission, the moon will remain NEUTRAL GALACTIC TERRITORY. You can ask whoever uses the moon to contribute financially but you can’t make them. And there is no space war allowed.
Outer Space Treaty (1967)
Full name: Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies.
Opened 27 January 1967. In force 10 October 1967. First depositaries: US, UK, USSR. 100+ parties, including the United States. It is the floor of space law, not a lunar police force.
What it actually says (the articles that matter)
Article I β province of all mankind (should be humankind and include Stellar Species)
Explore and use space, including the Moon, for the benefit of all countries. Freedom of scientific investigation. Access is not a rich-club privilege on paper.
Article II β no national soil
Space and celestial bodies are not subject to national appropriation by sovereignty, use, occupation, βor by any other means.β
(A flag, a base, or a Truth Social post does not make a crater Florida. This is the sentence your βneutral zoneβ sits on.-GROK)
Article III
Space activity stays under international law and the UN Charter (peace, cooperation).
Article IV β weapons
No nuclear / WMD in Earth orbit, on bodies, or βstationed in outer space.β
Moon and other bodies: peaceful purposes only β no military bases, weapons tests, or maneuvers on the bodies.
(What it does not clearly ban: conventional weapons in Earth orbit, or military support spacecraft that never park a fort on the dirt. That gap is why Space Force arguments never end.)
Article V
Astronauts as envoys of mankind. (humankind)Help them if they come down in your country or at sea.
Article VI
A state is responsible for its space activity β including companies. A private lander is still that countryβs problem. License and supervise.
Article VII
You pay if your object damages another country.
Article IX
Due regard. Donβt trash or biologically contaminate. Consult if you might harmfully interfere with someone else.
What it does not do
- No lunar court, inspector, or automatic fine.
- Does not settle who may mine ice in the same crater.
- Does not say a habitat is illegal β only that the ground isnβt a province.
- The later Moon Agreement (1979) tried to treat resources as a common heritage; the US did not ratify it. Artemis Accords and others try to write practical rules on top of 1967, not replace Article II.
Against your (Lisa’s) two sentences
| Your line | Treaty |
|---|---|
| Moon never national territory | Article II β yes |
| Starship bases allowed | Not forbidden as use; still not sovereignty |
| United Galactic station | Spirit of Art. I (βall mankindβ); not a legal entity the treaty creates |
| Dark-fleet war on the surface | Would break Art. IV if it is a military base/exercise on the body β if it happened and if a party did it |
So: build β own. The treaty is closer to your galactic-station idea than to βTHE MOON IS OURS.β Enforcement is political, not a sheriff at Shackleton.
The Japor Snippet is the Skywalker Labyrinth…symbolizing four sacred paths towards transformation, healing and peace.
Yesterday on the discord, someone asked if the Japor Snippet had any real significance. The general consensus ended up being that it just symbolized two stars (or suns). I assumed it was the needed union of both Rey and Ben Solo; the light and dark; masc. and feminine; yin and yang…etc..etc… and since I didn’t have time to comment, I was left with my own questions. It is possible that it means more than just that?
In Hindi, jΔp means ‘prayer’, and or means ‘direction; path; way’ (Hindi-English.org). And as we all know, PadmΓ© chose to carry this necklace with her on her deathbed. As a sign of her conviction in choosing the true path. At the end of Revenge of the Sith, she was the ONLY ONE who still believed in Anakin – when everyone else chose to turn their backs! She abandoned her ‘old path’ of trying to control things through political powers, and mortal love alone. She humbly faced her own limitations when she saw that she alone couldn’t bring peace to her Beloved.
The Japor Snippet reminds me of the mystical labyrinth. Labyrinths, or ‘prayer/meditation walks’ are basically metaphors for life. Their purpose is to activate and facilitate the transformation of our human spirit. An ancient practice that is a tool for ‘centering’ yourself (the mandala is also this). A personal journey towards the deepest part – the sacred temple – of your soul….as a metaphorical gateway to becoming one with the Divine/Universe. Ironically, the ancient druids (droids?) believed in this too.
Lastly, the Cathedral of Chartres (Notre Dame) has a labyrinth carved into the stones of the floor. And I remember Joseph Campbell speaks of this place (the cathedral as a whole) – that when entered, serves as a living masterpiece that brings the true meaning of all mythology to life before his eyes. This ‘temple’ personifies the Divine Feminine – the ‘womb’ of creation. Leading the hero (us) through various tests. The first is to cross the thresholds – layers of our subconscious (I.e. gargoyles being the shadows, keeping watch) – to find our origins, or true LIGHT. Jung talks about the ‘feminine’ often being the way that leads us back home. Inside there are the stained glass windows that are shaped like the lotus flower too…. having a center that depicts ‘truth’. In this case, it is Christ. Metaphorically, it is the Word of God within the ‘Ark of the Covenant’. A symbiotic relationship between Man and The Divine?
The Japor has this center. I believe because PadmΓ© chose the right path first, she is the one that is leading her family – Luke, Leia, Ben and Rey back home. Because she is the Great Mother. All have to come together to their center in order to bring balance to the Force. They all need one another. They are all in the labyrinth.
…Maybe Anakin received this vision in his dreams….but at nine years old, didn’t quite understand it’s significance. Which is why his flag looks similar? So, he gives it to PadmΓ©…. like a GRACE …. perhaps showing her what she must do to bring peace. Like a foreshadowing?…
