Anno Globus

About me:

The blog posts are just little posts about history and actual events, with fictionalized comments on what i imagine people might be thinking about them. that's all.. the one million contact campaign is different from those blog posts.

The year (1519 CE) that Magellan started this journey to completely circumnavigate the globe is year zero in 'Anno Globus'. Latin phrase which means 'Year of our Earth' marking the start of one half of the world becoming aware of the other.




Imagine opening a book published this year and having the copyright date read 490 A.G. That is one area where the million contact campaign can have an impact.

University or College catalogues that are printed for every term or semester with the year printed as 490 A.G.

Quartely or Monthly magazines with the current year posted as Summer 490 A.G. or Fall 490 A.G.

Local community newspapers that are distributed for free at local stores and community gathering places.

Local businesses that distribute their products or services regionally, nationally, or internationally sending out products with manufacturing dates as may/june/july 490 A.G. Even correspondence with the year as 490 A.G.

A SAMPLE LETTER or EMAIL could state something like this.

Everyone is aware of globalization and a change to Anno Globus from Anno Domini would reflect this awareness. Ever since Magellan completed his circumnavigation of the earth the world hasn't stopped this 'trend' called Globalization. He started the final leg of his circumnavigation over 490 years ago today.

Today with the world wide web and digitization a change such as this is as simple as typing in a few digits.

With products and services coming from and going to different places with different governments in the world people have come to know that differences exist. Languages, customs, and religions are some of the easily identifiable common things that exist no matter where you go on the planet.

So I am sending this brief letter for you to consider making this globalization truly democratic by changing to Anno Globus.

Thank you,

Okay, now in case some of you were confused I hope this example clarifies what i envision the one million contact campaign to be.

A second Sample letter The One Million contact campaign is why we decided to send you this letter. As the name suggests this campaign's goal is make one million contacts telling people about ANNO GLOBUS. Anno Globus translated from latin means 'Year of our Earth'. The current year is 2009 and it is counted in AD or CE each of which comes from the Old Holy Roman Empire. Year Zero in Anno Globus would start at 1519 AD, the start of the final leg of the circumnavigation of the world. Once it was completed it proved that the world was round and not flat. This journey also made the Eastern and Western Hemisphere's people existence of the other known. The United States Supreme courts have consistently been in support of separation of church and state. The 'establishment clause' has been cited in decisions against creationism to prayer at commencement ceromonies in schools. The way our years are counted in Anno Domini or Christian Era (common era in texts) is to endorse a religion and bind church and state together in schools, government, and commerce. The 'establishment clause' can not be used in other governments around the world but private and public companies as well as individuals can help by forwarding this message. So encourage people to 'Change the World' by marking years in Anno Globus or both AD/AG (2009/490). Thank you, Your Name Here


This will probably be ongoing so look for more sample letters.

Inspired from 'Rambo' a little motivation for the one million contact campaign

'Special Forces definition of an entrepreneur'

I don't think you know what your dealing with here.
He's a kinda' micro-chip entrepreneur.
He's trained to be creative, to think critically, he can
analyze mountains of statistics,
His only opportunities come through being innovative,
While the rest of chose our careers from color brochures, his
came from out of nowhere from virtually nothing.
His salesforces' closing line is a button you click on with the word 'Buy'.
His business, if he has just one, can process a thousand
transactions in the time it takes a greedy grocer with high
margins to change a receipt roll in a cash register.
So if you & co. are going to join his market
to try and take your share I'd remember to pay one thing
...Unemployment premiums.
