Flag of Georgia. Again the St. George's Cross. It's a helluva departure from previous flags.


There's a lot more, I've just run out of time for now. I have noticed a lot of dragons, a lot of eagles, a ton of stars, and lots of red,blue and white. Ho hum...

:rolleyes:

tinmenace, can you find a picture with every flag of the world on it, including the name of the country? I've found one but it doesn't have the names of the countries to go with it.
Every flag in the world has illuminati symbolism on it.

Other civilizations, contemporary and earlier, used the vexilloid form for their various purposes
The vexilloid form and the political, military, and religious functions characteristic of Roman flags are repeated in many other contemporary or earlier civilizations of Asia from the eastern end of the Mediterranean to the Pacific.
Standards with astral symbols of religious significance appeared in Indian and Mesopotamian cultures about four thousand year ago.
A sun and moon standard was recorded in Phoenician in the fifth century B.C.; in the same era Greek navies were known to have used a signal flag to mark the ship of an admiral or the command to attack.
Vexilloids from Iran dating to the fourth and third centuries B.C. include both a totemic animal at the top of the pole and a cloth flag (hanging from a cross-bar) that had distinctive emblems: eagles, falcons, suns, stars, and geometric designs apparently being the most common.
Records indicate that cloth was not the primary ingredient as a flag medium that it has held over the last thousand years.
Leather, wood, metal, and other materials were used quite frequently, leading to a diversity of flag shapes that has also since been lost.
Although the Bible says (Numbers II:2) “Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard with the ensign of his father’s house,” we do not know with certainty what these emblems looked like; however, we can still appreciate their social functions.
It seems that we owe the Chinese two characteristics of flags that are now universal: their lateral attachment to the staff and a focus on the cloth of a flag.
While vexilloids of diverse and imaginative shapes are seen in early Chinese manuscripts, the importance of a flag that could be light in weight, yet large; strong enough to last for a reasonable amount of time in outdoor usage; and capable of being dyed or painted to achieve symbolic variations were all of great significance for later flags.
While they were usually known for their military uses (signaling, indicating rank, and terrorizing the enemy) Chinese flags also appeared in temples and religious processions.

We stole countries! That's how you build an empire. We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Just sail halfway around the world, stick a flag in. "I claim India for Britain." And they're going, "You can't claim us. We live here! There's five hundred million of us." "Do you have a flag?" "We don't need a bloody flag, this is our country you bastard!" "No flag, no country! You can't have one. That's the rules... that... I've just made up! And I'm backing it up with this gun... that was lent from the National Rifle Association."

Well spotted, it's probably a masonic handshake as well.

Why is the blond haired white guy wearing indian clothing?
Shouldn't it be an indian shaking hands with a white "settler" to symbolise "united we stand"

ted, trust me: most of the indians in kentucky had died of smallpox before this flag was created. the rest were killed or driven out.

the part of kentucky i live in was sacred hunting ground. the tribes didn't live here.

anyway, back to the flag, it's kind of a long story. i won't bore you with the details, but kentucky was one of only two states officially in the union that stayed nuetral during the Civil War. families split on the issue; some joined the union army, some joined the confederate. the rebel boys were in the buckskin; the city slickers went north.


that's the way i heard it, anyway.

by the way, now that i'm thinking about it, there has been a lot of people in the u.s. wanting to get rid of the confederate flag.

yes, it's a symbol of slavery, but it's also a symbol of state's rights, of defiance against the federalism taking over constitutional law. the ill. know it is a symbol of defiance. people paid the ulitmate price for this flag. they believed enough in their freedom to die for it. the sickest part of all was that they were the original guinea pigs to test the armaments and war strategies to be used in the modern industrial world. they were slaughtered, starved; 50,000 men died at gettysburg in two and a half days. the level of carnage was devastating to some parts of the south for over 100 years.

it's unfortunate that the two issues are so closely intertwined, but that was the state of the world then, the context of the times. it's really not so different today; how many people in the u.s. are truly free? very few, i would say, and fewer every year. the middle class is being dismantled in this country. all the pundits say so, yet it continues to happen. why? because the middle class themselves are in major denial about their precarious position in today's world. most people here are 90 days from living in a cardboard box, folks. i have some resources, but most don't.

the new "massa's" of the plantation (which were ceded by the queen, as most of you know, including the swampland which became d.c.) are the credit card companies, the insurance companies, and the box stores: walmart and the like. people scurry in and out of strip malls like bees gathering honey (ill. symbol made manifest).

i know some good ol' bubba's that'd give them eye-lluminati the business end of a smith and wesson. i say let this flag wave!

According to Credo, or there are tribes that believe, a "x" is a curse, especially if you're the first one to draw it. Not to mention the 13 pentagrams and the freemasonic colours. I wouldn't get too excited about that flag, or any flag for that matter.

I think what the people stand for which you outlined, is the important thing, I wouldn't be too happy with that flag.

fair enough. i was using a rhetorical figure. like i said, they were guinea pigs. it was probably drawn up that way from the start. i guess i was trying to suggest a rebel spirit is not such a bad idea. i think you guys got it in oz; we come from the same stock. :)

[father ted]

It's :cool: , you made an interesting point:)

I don't think australians (in general, so don't shoot me) have a rebel spirit at all, if there's some fascist legislation or something fascist/evil being introduced to australians, they just say; "sure, why don't you go right the fuck ahead, we're too stupid and lazy to do anything about it."

Although I was quite impressed with the street riots they had in melbourne during the world leaders summit, I think that's what it was, I can't remember. It seems that the tide's changing, yes, but it's starting to become more visible.
