This is ME: Memoirs of an Emperor

By KING ROMAN

'This is ME' encompasses the thoughts and life of King Roman who was born Ronald VC Mann in Edinburgh Scotland March 1942. He served Queen Elizabeth 2 as an Executive Officer in HM Customs and Excise, Dover; in the Royal Air Force at Steamer Point Aden during the early years of the Arab Insurgency; and as a Kiap/ Patrol Officer in Papua New Guinea through self-government - for which he received the Police Overseas Service Medal. In 1967, when he emigrated to Melbourne Australia, Prince Roman inherited the Kingdom and Grand Duchy of Lithuania (usurped in 1991). In May 2000, the Commonwealth of Australia covertly declared war on the Grand Duke and Grand Duchy (still unresolved). King Roman studies Astronomy and International Law and enjoyed sea cruising until Covid struck. He has lived in Darwin with Lady Fele since 1975, where he actively promotes his Empire of Europa which includes the Kingdom and Grand Duchy of Lithuania and accrued territories in Central-East Europe.

Forethoughts

Does life really have to be so difficult?

God's deadly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus is now reaching towards a global toll of a million deaths with 40 million infected.

It is reminiscent of the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu epidemic in Europe that infected 150 million and killed 50 million.

Under such immediate circumstances, it is hard to think of God as the loving Father that the Church tells us.

What is the mind of God and do we really want to know what such an apparently perverse mind is thinking?

Indeed, who would ask to be born into such a world?

It is not so bad when one is healthy and life is going nicely, but to face the inevitable dangers and diseases of this world is no picnic for anyone.

The iconic Greek philosopher Aristotle said that Death may be the greatest blessing!

Be advised that this autobiography is quite unlike any other.

And that breathing through cloth masks will not stop an airborne infection!

Google antiviral herbs and foods for the REAL solutions.

One God or Many?

Before any of us existed there was God (or Gods).

Hindus believe in many gods, Buddhists believe in none, Christians believe in a triune god, Muslims have but One.

This is not to favour ANY religion. If you believe in a Creator, God lives in another universe that existed before ours, and there may be many gods companioning him there.

I cannot understand the Christian sort of triple God, and Islam is the latest of the big religions and therefore unlikely from God.

Buddhism is another invented religion without God, and so can it really be called a religion?

I believe there is a God, or gods, living in a separate universe, and that he (and likely his divine companions) made our universe.

However, I do not understand why he put us on a dangerous planet or why he allows wicked people to thrive on it and good people to suffer.

I mean, are these the acts of a just person or of a good father?

I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful - MARILYN MONROE (1926-1962). I was told by someone that a girl's face is her fortune.

The US and Australia

I have visited the US twice, but I have lived in Australia continuously since 1975.

The United States of America and the Commonwealth of Australia are the same age calculating from the US Declaration of Independence and Captain Cook claiming Australia for Britain.

In this technologically advanced age of much enlightenment, we should be removing the blinkers and objectively taking stock of certain anomalies.

The Motto of our friend and protector the USA is In God We Trust. Regrettably, Covid and the state of the World show that trusting in God may be a big mistake.

The US Constitution was written at a time when a citizen militia was needed to fight off the British and the North American Indians and it requires revision. Article 2, the right to bear arms, is an anachronism that should already have been repealed but for political partisan interests.

The motto of the 60% Mormon State of Utah is Our Jesus is better than yours. Regrettably, belief in any Jesus is questionable, as there is no historical record that the gospel Jesus even existed.

That is not to say that Jesus did not exist , only unfortunately that there is no actual historical evidence to confirm any aspect whatsoever of his life and death.

The notion that Jesus is God was decreed by the 4th century Council of Nicaea which was convened by Roman Emperor Constantine 1 who was himself by Roman culture regarded as a god.

Interesting Facts about our Solar System

I have had an interest in Astronomy ever since I visited Calton Hill Observatory in my home town Edinburgh.

The Earth orbits the Sun at a speed of 30 kilometres a second, and rotates at five kms per sec.

Recent studies confirm that our Moon has an atmosphere consisting of unusual gases, including sodium and potassium, which are not found in the atmospheres of Earth, Mars or Venus.

The biggest asteroid/ minor planet in the Asteroid Belt is Ceres with a diameter of 998 kms. It is in one of my claims of ownership to the UN through a loophole in the Outer Space Treaty 1967.

Some asteroids have their own moons like Dactyl which orbits Ida.

The Asteroid Belt which lies between Mars and Jupiter has a million or more minor planets. Distances between them makes theirs almost empty space, like an atom.

Mercury orbits the Sun at 62.5 kms/ second, a year is only 88 Earth days, and a day is 59 Earth days.

A day on Venus equals 243 Earth days, and a year is 225 Earth days, so that the Venusian day is longer than its year.

Tiny Shepherd Moons hide within Saturn's Rings and keep the rings organized into separate bands.

Saturn's largest moon Titan is the only
