Missouri Middle Max Flags for Nations on par with Missouri

Missouri is the first state in the Union to be in totality at both African and European latitudes, with regard to the continents.  California and Nevada are the only other two states to have this unique geographic point of view, meaning only these three states can legally geographically speaking claim to know a sweltering and sizzling hot African summer day, bitter European Winter night, and the gentle days of fall of autumn.


Likewise there are nations that fall into the Missouri Middle Max line of geography which is based upon the north south alignments of the continents of Europe and Africa. The nations of Japan, Korea, China, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, and Afghanistan all qualify for a Missouri Middle Max Flag. A Missouri Middle Max flag has the 24 star circle imprint that originates from the Missouri Flag.  Thus these nations are the climatic know-it-all.  Like Missouri this gives them a deep gut gumption to do it their own way and in many ways.  And their worst enemy is often themselves, since they can have political jocks on extreme ends, I suppose.   What I means is that just as Missouri has extreme right wing agents that want it their way or the highway, and extreme left wing huggle-bears willing to do anything, and regular folk that just wants to be happy and left in peace.

Thus these states and nations have the 360 degree point of view, so they have been fated to get a star for each hour of the day, since these places can see the problem from all point of views.  So it seems.

Anyhoo, these flags are simply totems to 'show yous' that they are geographically similars like Missorui with a proverbial 24 hr/360 degree perspective on the earth or something like that.

US flag in the Car's Rock and Roll Video - Magic 1984

A US flag can briefly be seen the Cars music video Magic 1984.  A man who looks like a WWI pilot playing two trumpets has a US flag arm patch on his left shoulder.

Close up of double mouthed trumpet player from the Cars official video Magic 1984.   The Cars were one of the essential bands of the 80s that took on pop charts and espoused the art and thematic of 80s culture in the United States.

Westernized Flag Chart of the Chinese Zodiac & Wheel

This is the Westernized Chinese Zodiac Wheel.  Both the Eastern and Western Zodiac wheels fit into a similar 12 beat rhythm, yet set their tempo on the two most pronounced objects in heaven - the Sun and the Moon. The harmonious alignment between the Eastern and Western Zodiac is that both are divided into twelve tribes or signs.  Furthermore the points of change for the Western Zodiac follows a monthly lunar cycle  but is calibrated by the solar cycle.  On the other hand the Eastern Zodiac follows a yearly solar cycle but is calibrated to lunar cycle, more or less. 

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Dragon

 Western Year of the Dragon Symbol and Flag.  This is the last Westernized symbol for the Oriental Zodiac.  Why invent a Western Symbol?  It is only a natural path since the East has developed and adapted symbols for the Occidental-Western Zodiac.  Besides its 2013, the East is all over the West and vice-versa.  Just as the Western Lunar Zodiac is universal for all nations, its high time that the Eastern Zodiac be recognized as well in a similar manner and not just for peoples of East Asia.  The East and West Zodiacs can be brought together since they do not compete in the same virtual space.  The Eastern tempo is set by the solar cycle punctuated by the moon, while the Western beat is set by the lunar cycle punctuated by the sun.

The flag of for Earth's Year of the Dragon has a yellow background with the Westernized Dragon symbol in black.

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Rabbit

The Year of the Rabbit is the most feminine sign of the Eastern Zodiac.  Simple black and white are the elements of its flag.  Black is the background and the Western Symbol illustrated in white.  The Western symbol is loosely based upon the official Chinese Character.
















Also note that some people see this 'animal' of the Zodiac as the Year of the Cat instead of the Year of the Rabbit, most notably in Vietnam.  Which is right?  Well it's a Yin and Yang thing, so it can be both.  The essence of a cat is like a rabbit with a dash of Yang energy.  Besides, Vietnam and China are already flag partners in the early colonial yellow national flags as well as Communist Red flag forms.  Coincidentally they both look like animals that come from eggs - China looks like a chicken while Vietnam looks like snake. The cat is an evolved level up of the rabbit.  Both are associated with the moon, thusly every Oriental Zodiac should thus get an alternate form or 'Pokemon' like level up.  Another animal in the Eastern Zodiac with a binary point of the view is the Year of the Pig.  

But the next step in the Eastern Cycle belongs to the scaly Draco.

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Tiger

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Ox

  The Year of the Ox comes one every twelve years, just like all the other signs of the Eastern Zodiac.  It is the one sign that has a perfect match with the Western Zodiac under the month of Taurus.  Likewise the attributes of these signs are similar. The flag for the Year of the Ox uses a brownish background and has a western symbol for the animal.

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Rat

 
The Eastern Zodiac begins with the Year of the Rat or in this case the Year of the Rodent.  The Western Symbol for the Year of the Rat is essentially a Roman Number Three on its side, however the symbol is directly based upon the Chinese upper radical but has the 'hands touching.'

The magical form of the Rat is the Squirrel.

Land of the Setting Sun - Ireland

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2013,

Most people may be recallin' that wee Japan is the land of the Rising Sun?  Part of the reason being that the business of each new day of the Old World begins with this most ancient of island nations.

First ya'been needin' to think of the Old World as being one giant super island or perhaps...a grand ol' Super Continent?   Now don't be forgettin' that at one time all of the Asia, Africa, and Europe were are all connected by land.  Essentially as a sun should rise and fall over an island each day so to does it rise and set over the grand interconnected island like land mass of the Old World.

But if there is a Land of the Rising Sun shouldn't their be Land of the Setting Sun?  Thinks about it for a wee moment....What nation fits into this balanced paradigm?  Perhaps England ye'be thinking? Nay England already has or had th' title of that sun which never sat still on her empire or somethin' of that sort.  Rather Erin fits the bill perfectly.  Ireland like Japan hath no land claim on the continent proper.  Both are positioned at the far ends of the landmass and finally both by all accident have flags with suns on it.

Thus as the Old World gets ready to set their minds on to the dreamin' world, tis' Ireland that gets thee last word on what it was and ta' say goodnight to the day that was for the Old World.

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Pig

The Year of the Pig is the final sign of Chinese Astrology, before the cycle repeats it self.  In the West and America the Greco-Roman Zodiac plays a dominant role in newspapers and enthusiasts of things groovy and cosmic, but in the East another Zodiac from China fills the same void.  Like the traditional Western Zodiac the Eastern Zodiac is divided into twelve teams that repeat themselves every twelve years instead of every twelve months.  

The East has already made up symbols to represent Leo, Gemini, Virgo, Cancer, etc...so it's only natural that Western Symbols come to be to represent those signs from the East. In this case a stylized letter 'P' represents the Year of the Pig.  The important part is the curly tip at the bottom that represents a pig tail.  Likewise the colour for the Year of the Pigs background is pink.

The Year of the Pig is six years a way from now, so we will have to wait until 2019 to see how things shape up.  Next up is the natural starting point for the Eastern Zodiac on one of the resourceful, clever, intelligent and maligned inhabitants of the Earth - the rat.  

Just as the year in between the Dragon and Tiger has two forms as the Year of the Cat or Rabbit, so to does the Year of the Pig.  In following the level up rule, the 'magical power up' form for the Pig is the Elephant.  In parts of Thailand they call this they year of the Elephant instead of the Year of the Pig.  

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Dog

The year of the dog is five years away from now, which will be in the year 2018.  The world will be so different yet so similar. The flag for the Year of the dog has a blue background with the Western Symbol for the dog. 

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Rooster

The flag for the Year of Rooster is composed of a red flag with the black Western symbol for this animal of the Zodiac.  Since China and Japan has adapted symbols for the 'Greco-Roman' Western Zodiac it makes sense that a form a symbols be made for the East.  It's 2013 after all and East is often times meeting West.  So remember you have two zodiacs to keep track of now!

The magical level up form of the Rooster is the Phoenix.

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Monkey

The flag for the Chinese Year of the Monkey features a purple flag with a Western symbol.  The Western Monkey Symbol is a crescent moon with a line through it.  The Americas have their own native monkeys that differ from the Old World too!  The great thing about New World Monkeys from America is that American Monkeys can hold on to tree limbs with their tails.  Old world Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Lao, Cambodian and Burmese Monkeys can not.

Chesapeake Bay Flag Association Meeting - Pi Day 2013

The Chesapeake Bay Flag Association met today at the US Library of Congress in Washington DC. A private background tour was given and the tour featured several congenial speakers.

The Pi Flag on 3/14

The 'Pi' flag combines the international maritime flags of 3, 1 and 4 to represent the estimated vale of 'Pi' at 3.14.  The French looking part represents the number three, the red disc on white represents one, and finally the white cross on the red disc represents four.

The great coincidence is that these maritime numbers nicely fit into each other.  Additionally the flags of France, Japan, and Denmark are accidentally apparent when you united them to make up the symbolic flag for 3.14!

A neat unintended coincidence is that the Pi flag happens to have a circle in it, and looks like is it is a four piece of pizza pie! 

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Sheep

Finally a flag and westernized symbol for people born during the Year of the Sheep.
The flag for the Year of the Sheep has a white background with the Westernized Sheep symbol.

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Horse

Happy year of the horse?  It's just around the corner, and if you miss it, it'll be here again in 12 years.  Anyways just as East Asia created symbols for the West here are westernized symbols for the Eastern Zodiac.  The symbol for the Year of the Horse is stylized letter 'P' or is it a 'J' or backwards 'F?'  In any case it represents a horse's head running into the wind.

A Western Flag for the Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Snake

Two major zodiacs are known to the people of Earth.  The Western World follows a 12 Zodiac Totem that is tied to a lunar tempo calibrated to the solar cycle.  However in the East, a similar yet very different 12 paced Zodiac congruently follows a solar tempo yet is calibrated to a lunar cycle.  This is a great lucky stroke of balance between the East and the West.


The East typically adapts its culture to the West and has 'invented' symbols to represent the Western Zodiac.  In balance to this cultural equation it is high time for the West to reflect back the honor for the Eastern Zodiac.  Thus this represents Earth's Year of the Snake.

The colour green represents the earthy elemental of the snake.  The symbol is a stylized representation of a cobra.  It should intuitively indicate a serpent of sorts.  Currently we are in the Year of the Snake.

Flag from Le Voyage dans La Lune: A Trip to the Moon 1902

In the first of first science fiction classics Le Voyage dans La Lune 1902, A Trip to the Moon.  A flag is present at the launching of a space vessel to the moon.  The flag is a vertical tri-bar of pink, yellow, and pink.

This film would stir the imaginations of generations born in the 1800s.  Little did they know that many who saw this film would live to see science fact follow in the wake of science fiction.  A year after the films official release the wright brothers would build a flying machine. And 67 years later mankind did indeed send a ship with men to the moon.

Earth Flag from Le Voyages dans la Lune 1902

This film was produced and directed under the creative genius of George Melies who accomplished a spectacular work with the limited means of his times.







In the closing sequence which predates 75 years plus, the Star Wars classic celebratory scene.  In the upper left hand corner we can see a varied collection of flags.

Flag of the Terran Empire: Star Trek Enterpirse 2005

In the American-Visual Arts Epic Poem of Star Trek a unique flag appears in the 700th official canonized broadcast - the flag of the Terran Empire.

The idea of the Terran Empire originates from the original Star Trek Series and this story plot revives it self in Star Trek: Enterprise, whose story line occurs before the original 1960s series, but was made long after the original series. 

The flag of the Terran Empire has a red background and features the earth coloured black and white, with the continents being black and the ocean white.  A straight sword pierces the earth from the north to south.  

 During a communique with earth a real fabricated Terran Empire flag can be seen over the left shoulder of the speaker. 

The Red Flag in Carl Jung's Red Book - "Liber Novus"

In the first illustration of Carl Jung's personal, mystical and poetic confession The Red Book: Liber Novus a ship with a red flag appears near a harbor.  Liber Novus is a hand written book by one of the leading and pioneering scientists to explore the human mind from a modern point of view.

The coincidence of a ship with a red flag in the first image of the The Red Book is a classic example of what Dr. Jung would call "Synchronicity."  But if you rewind the timeline 200 years earlier to the 1600s they would call this phenomena "Providence."  Perhaps in another 200s years in the 2200s another mind will repackage this idea with slightly different details?


Mr. Jung was of that gifted generation to grow up in the 1800s live through two world wars and witness the dawn of Earth's space age. He lived in a time of transition from horse and buggy to the age of space ships and when texting was simply dots and dashes. Unfortunately this generation has all passed and now we are born surrounded by technologies that direct our civilizations.

You can also see what seems to be the flag of France in a small border illustration near the top. The illustration is of a war scene. 

This is the first page in Dr. Carl Jung's very personal narrative.  It was published in 2009 forty eight years after his death in 1961. 

Love Boat Officer Emblem

Captain Merrill Stubing is perhaps the most enchanted captain from America's fantasia.  Captain Stubing sailed the Pacific Princess unto many voyages into the depths of the American Heart.

This was no ordinary voyage into regular space but rather to the many and varied and enchanted isles of love and emotion that the heart can get stuck or stranded upon.

There was something magical about the love boat cruses that put cupid and his buddies into overtime.


The emblem of the officers consisted of a semi-heraldic icon.  It is composed of a golden wreath along the supporter sides, a golden crown at the helm and in the center, a golden anchor at an angle upon a quartered X flag of white, red, yellow, and blue.
