The Indonesia-Venezuela Antipode Flag

This flag is for the region of Indonesia that is directly underneath Venezuela, or instead for the land of Venezuela that is underneath Indonesia.

The Indonesia-Peru Fusion Antipode Flag

This flag is for the tiny region of Peru that is directly underneath Indonesia, or rather the region of Indonesia that is directly underneath Peru.

The Indonesia-Suriname Fusion Antipode Flag

This flag is for the region of Suriname that is directly underneath Indonesia, better yet it is for the region of Indonesia that is underneath Suriname.

The Indonesia-Guyana Fusion Antipode Flag

This flag is for the area of Indonesia that underneath Guyana, or rather for the area of Guyana that is directly underneath Indonesia.

The Indonesian-French Guiana Antiopde Flag

A flag for the region of French Guiana that is directly underneath Indonesia, or rather a flag for the region of Indonesia that is directly underneath French Guiana. 

The Indonesia-Brazil Antiopde Fusion Flag

The Indonesia-Brazil Antipode Flag is to be flown over the area of land on Brazil or Indonesia that is Antipodal.  Basically a part of Indonesia is directly underneath Brazil, or rather a part of Brazil is underneath Indonesia.
This flag is fusion of national elements found on the Brazilian and Indonesia Flag.

Ecuador-Indonesia Antipode Flag

The Ecuador-Indonesia Antipode Flag can be flown by either Ecuador or Indonesia on their areas that are Antipodal to each other. This is a geographic marker flag that indicates where Indonesia is underneath Ecuador, or rather that Ecuador is underneath Indonesia.

The flag is also for a person whose father is Indonesian and mother is Ecuadorian, or vice verse.  

A Flag for Antipode Areas - from One End of the Earth unto the Other

The colours of the Antipode Areas Flag are based upon the official flag for The National Geographic Society which uses the colours green, white, light blue and brown.  The Yin and Yang symbol reflects the fact that at this particular point within a country, it is 'directly underneath' another country on the oppose side of the Earth, or vice verse.  

The old saying goes, if you dig down deep enough you'll reach China.  But this is not true, rather if you dig down from the United States you'll end up in the Indian Ocean, unless you're in Hawaii.  Directly straight down underneath Hawaii is the southern tip of Africa.  Thus all of Hawaii can fly this flag. Likewise the small parts of Botswana and Namibia antipodal to Hawaii can fly this flag.  However the flag should be flipped when flown in the Southern Hemisphere, so that the fly is white and the hoist is green. Also note the tilt of the blue stripe matches the Earth's tilt relative to its orbit around the sun at about 23 degrees.  Coincidentally about 23 percent of the land on Earth is antipodal. Besides Hawaii, a small slice of Alaska and Montana can fly this flag.  Alaska is underneath Antarctica while a northern nibble of Montana is underneath the Kerguelen.


Wholly Antipodal countries that can fly this flag anywhere across their lands include: the Philippines, Brunei, Sarawak, and Taiwan.  Nations that are mostly Antiopdal include: Chile, Argentina, Cambodia, Greenland and Indonesia.  And nations with a good part of the area Antipodal include: New Zealand's North Island, Ecuador, South Vietnam, and Peru.

The Southern Israeli Parallel Zone Flag

Last but not least a ninth flag. The flag is for the southern latitude which is parallel to Israel but from a Southern Hemisphere point of view.  The Star of Israel is in the upper hoist, the stars are six pointed and reflective of constellation Pisces Australis, The Southern Fish, which is nearly at the parallel celestial southern latitiude of a would be 'South Hemisphere Israel.'  Coincidentally this parallel latitude passes though Australia, South Africa, Lesotho, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile.

You can think of this flag as the 9th Shamash (Attendant or Tall or Outsider) Flag.

The Upper West Israeli Angle Flag

 A flag for the area north and west of Israel - the North West Israeli Angle Flag.  It has coverage over most of Europe and North America.  Nearly all the US states fall into this category that are parallel and north of North Carolina. 

So what's the deal with all these geographically bound Israeli Flags?  First of all Israel is the Star of the Middle East, pun intended.  Secondly it is for educational purposes on a geographical basis.  Thirdly the events that were recorded in several "divine documents" in that area have enchanted most of our ancestors and living relatives as to their own personal history, as enchanted with love and in times great of need.  Fourthly it establishes a bond, between different parts of the world where the Original Mind of The Most Sacred Books or Sacred Programs for happiness were originally written.  Fifthly, as a vexillologist, making flags is what we do, however most vexillologists are fixated on changing established flags rather than expanding into unexplored ideas like meselfers. Sixthly, why not? Flags are just plain fun! Flags are abstract art grounded to a logical meaning.

Cities under this flag include: London, Brussels, Rome, New York, Kiev, Toronto, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Paris, Sparta, Athens, and Zagreb.

The Lower East Israeli Angle Flag

 

The South Eastern Israeli Angle flag encompasses most of the area that is bounded by the Indian Ocean and all of Australia and New Zealand. Likewise Hawaii is the only US state to fall into this fold. 

 

The Lower West Israeli Angle Flag

Happy Cybermondannukah?

This is the first time Cyber Monday and Hannukah have met up.Thanksgiving and Hannukah are well known, but it like the first Olympic, nobody care until much later. And shopping on Cyber Monday will not go away.  Trying to spread the cheer of the miracle from the Holy Land.  Anyways imagine getting 81 miles to the gallon in your car/truck for a week and it not being a hybrid or energy efficient system.  Well then, you'd certainly be grateful for the oil burning that extra long mile.  That sort of, is the spirit of Hannukah. 

This flag is for the area of land not perpendicular towards Israel.  Put another way for the area that is south and west of Israel. It is the counter charge-opposite flag for the North-Eastern Area Flag.

Note all of South America and the Caribbean is in the Lower West Israeli Angle.  As is most of West Africa.  A small wee portion of the United States is also a part of the area: the southern half of Florida, Texas, and all of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.  The Major US Cities in the South Western Angle of Israel include - Miami, Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Daytona.

The Upper East Israeli Angle Flag

Since lands on the same latitude and longitude get a geographic Israeli Flag it only makes sense that the other parts receive one as well.  This flag is for that area that is northeast of Israel.

All of Northern Asia (region of Asia north of the 45th North Parallel) is in this quadrant.
Ukraine of Europe Major and Alaska of North America are also a part of this group.  

The Comet Flag

The comet flag uses colours of black, white, yellow, and indigo.  The three stars form a right triangle which in honor of trigonometry - the advanced study of triangles - since it has allowed us to get a better understanding of the cosmos.

The Northen Israeli Alley Flag

The Northern Israeli Alley Flag is similar is design to the Southern Israeli Alley Flag.  The main difference is that the colours are reversed.  Like the other geographic flags presented in this blog, the purpose of these flags is to educate and build connections.  Furthermore the foundation of Western Civilization is intimately tied to this hallowed and enchanted land.

All Christians, Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Baha'i, and Mormons recognize on an official level a divine activity and appearance of divine providence upon this land.  Besides it's always neat to connect the geographic dots? Finally Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Baha'i and Mormons can recognize the miracle of Hanukkah.  All branches already all believe in Adam and Eve, Noah, and nearly everything in the Original Testament.

The nations which happen to lay directly due north include: Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Ukraine, and Russia.  The only major city in Europe to lay due north in the rather narrow Northern Israeli Alley is Dnipropetrovsk in the Ukraine that was founded in 1776.

In addition, Cyprus crosses into the Northern Israeli Alley.  And like Israel is polarized on a political-religious angle, but the delicate issue for Cyprus is between Christians and Muslims.  One can suppose when Cyprus achieves balance in the region so to will Israel follow, or vice verse?

The Southern Israeli Alley Flag

Happy Black Frannukah? 

Israel is in a sweet spot in between continents snuggled by Africa and Europe.  Israel is the only Asian Country to touch Africa - lending the term Afracasian or maybe Asiafrican?  Anyways here is another geographic flag centered on Israel.  It is for lands directly due south of the nation that was the scene of intense spiritual development for humanity. Countries in the Southern Israeli Alley include: Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique.

The narrow longitude is from about 34 degrees 20' unto 35 degrees 40'.

Tomorrow the Northern Israeli Flag

The Western Israeli Belt Flag

Happy Thanxgivukagh?

Since there is an Eastern Israeli Belt Flag it only makes sense to have a Western Israeli Belt Flag.  In this case the flag keeps the same design but the colours are reversed, also known as a counter change.

A flag to be flown on areas that are directly due west of Israel from about 29 Degrees North to 33 Degrees North.  Consequently most of North Africa is in the Israeli Belt which includes: Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco.  No part of Europe's continent is parallel to Israel but the island of Madeira under Portugal and Bermuda under the United Kingdom is parallel to Israel. Thus much of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle lays in the enchanted latitude.

Finally the Israeli Belt crosses North America through Mexico and the United States - touching the states in the Deep South and one 'Northern State.'  The US States that have part of their lands due west of Israel include: South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and just the southern tip of California.  Last but not least Louisiana is the special case, because it is nearly parallel to Israel by north to south.  Just for the record, Walt Disney World Orlando Florida is just south of the Israeli Belt, likewise Walt Disney Land Anaheim, California is just north of the Israeli Belt. Louisiana is a bit more humid, perhaps a better climatic match is Southern California or Northern Mexico.

Famous and major US cities in this special belt of latitude include: St. Augustine,  Jacksonville, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Diego.

The Eastern Israeli Belt Flag

Happy Hanukkah!  And it happens to fall on Thanksgiving, which only happens on average once in a lifetime.  So in honor of this rare union of grateful grace this is a nine part series that presents flags based upon the geography of modern Israel.  

The Eastern Israeli Belt Flag is a geographic flag that marks the region due east of Israel.  This flag is to be flown from about 29 Degrees North to about 33 Degrees North due east of Israel.  The nations that fall into this latitude are:  Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Southern Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, China, South Korea, and Japan.  Major cities that rest in the Eastern Wing of the Israeli Belt include Shanghai, Shiraz, Lahore, Basra, and Nagasaki.

Lunar Eclipse Flag

The Lunar Eclipse Flag features the moon with one slice of the Earth's shadow waning the moon.  The colours black, blue, and white represent the night sky, shadow of the moon and moon itself.

Lunar eclipses are not as exciting as solar eclipses, nonetheless they have their own distinct charm.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - 1975

 After more than one thousand years after the reign of King Aethelstan, a troop of modern story makers retold of the great chronicle of the Legendary King Arthur in stunning accuracy by the Monty Python guild of scorers and associated artists.

Many flags are shown in the semi-historical work of fiction.  The emblem for King Arthur features a yellow sun in splendor with a mustache on a white background.

 As King Arthur travels the English country side he gains the helpful assistance of other knoble knights throughout the kingdom.  As Aurthur has his royal standard so to do the other brave knights of the semi-round table.  Knote its knot really a round table, but a more accurate description would be a flat cylinder like object.  Thusly a more proper descirption should be King Aurther and the Knights of the Cylindrical Table.  


 There are kbunch of kflags - one has checkery green klike pattern with some kkind of black kbird.  Another for kthe knoble guy red kcross and then there is a black one that's kinda' kcool.  I think there are a few others but they are khard to make kout.

In the final kbattle royal the original knights are joined by a mass of other knights to kdefeat the enemy.  Knote the flag and kkemblem of Sir Lancelot is a funky white tree without its leaves on half of a kblue backgroud.

Flags in South Park's Army of X Box vs. Sony Playstaion Empire - 2013

 Video game console wars are a modern era rivalry.  The most lauded console war in mid 1980s was between Sega and Nintendo.  Nintendo won.  Currently X-box and Sony Playstaion are today's main rivals, while Nintendo has fallen a bit behind the times.

In the most recent episode of South Park's 17th Season the town kids have formed two factions - one is pro-X-Box One and the other is for Sony Playstation 4.

This episode combines the shopping madness of Black Friday with the often acerbic debate between gamers on the 'best' console.  Most importantly to vexillology is the appearance of unique flags.  The X-Box faction as led by Eric Cartman has an eight pointed star of black and white on an orange background.  While Kenny's Playstation faction is led by a royal princess want that has a Fleur-Di-Li's design with three streamers of varying shades of pink. 

Flags in Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie - 1996

 Peanut gallery back seat comments during a movie in a public space are a no no.  But when its an old movie, a favorite, or horribly bad movie making off the wall wacky doodle comments is a certain kind of art form - and it became refined and distinguished with the Mystery Science Theater 3000 team.

A man is trapped in space in the distant future and forced to watch cheesy sci-fi films by a mad scientist.  Here we can see the mission badge of our hero - Mike Nelson.  It says Wisconsin and has piece of cheese upon it.

Can you find the pennant in the clutter?  It reads "SERVO RULES."  The Mystery Science Theater 3000 makes it possible to enjoy really bad movies, ironically with silly comments.  However this movie was a big booper as well.  It should be watched in the company of alcohol or group of silly beans people.

The flag of the United States of America is just barely visible at the end of the wind shield.

Meteor Shower Alert Flag

A background of navy blue with five four pointed stars is the design that makes up a Meteor Shower Alert Flag.  Meteor Showers are often like holidays that appear over and over again every year.  But every once and a while we get some new shows.

The Meteor Shower Alert flag should fly at least five days before a meteor shower is about to take place.

Solar Eclipse Flag

The eclipse flag uses four colours: black, white, red, and light blue.  The central disc is divided into two colours of mostly white and partially red.  The white region represents the moon while the smaller red portion represents the sun.  The black background represents the momentary moment of night during day when the moon aligns with the sun in the right way.  Likewise the light blue portion represents the day that is being put on temporary hold.
