John Oliver's New Confederate Flag Proposal

Satirical news comedy has become something of a mainstream source of information in the modern world.  The following burger on a white background flag was created on HBO's John Oliver weekly show.  It features a Carl's Jr. burger with a hot dog and potato chips.  After viewing the commercial for the protein pounding snack, John Oliver joking presents it as the new American Confederate flag.

In this episode Mr. Oliver points out that nearly a quarter of the food produced in the United States is thrown away by businesses and people.  Note that wasting food is also wasting  oil, labor costs, and business expenses that are used in producing food.  It really is an obscene process that is essentially throwing money into a dump. 

Flag for persons of mixed faiths from Scientology and the Moonie, Unification Church

The 20th century saw two new religions come into being from opposite ends of the Earth in 1954.  The Church of Scientology was established as a religion in California in 1954.  And across the world on May 1, 1954 the Moonie Church was established in South Korea.  These religions were the last to from, before the Dawn of the Space Age. 

 This flag is for persons who have one parent born into Scientology and another born out the Unification Church, or some factor of this match.  Coincidentally both religions were founded after the 'end' of the Korean War in 1953.

 The founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was originally born out of the American Christian tradition, while Sun Myung Moon came from the old Korean tradition, which is mostly a fusion of Buddhist and Confucian teachings with a heavy emphasis on firm and heavily structured Confucian familial ideas.  This flag links distant preachers born from opposite ended cultures from Nebraska to North Korea

Of Yin and Yang, the founder of Scientology was exposed to the religions in East Asia.  Coincidentally notions of reincarnation were adopted as core beliefs within Scientology.  Coming from the other direction, Moon was able to take Christian teachings and reincorporate it into a new vision adding additional sacred scripture.  The Newest Testament built upon the Bible is known as The Divine Principle.  Likewise the writings of Hubbard are prolific but a key document to spiritual enlightenment was made apparent with his fantastic work, Dianetics.
 
Establishing a new religion may seem like a hard thing to do it, and it really is.  However Scientology and the Unification Church have passed their 60th year anniversary and met the challenges that arise with any new approach to life.  They have passed beyond the heated and passionate Crucible of Doubt that many new religions face, blossoming into new fragrant faiths while challenging the status quo.  Scientology and the Unification Church are natural clashes unto harmony of teachings from the West and East, or rather East to West?  The Moonie path and Scientology faith are watermarks of religions that echo the strange and changing times of the 1900s, as the peoples of the Earth sought to make it a better place for one and all.  

Flag for persons of mixed Baha'i and Mormon Faiths

The colours of the flag include a basic rainbow pallet of red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, navy blue, purple, and white.  The beehive is an icon related to Mormonism while the seven pointed star is reflective of the Baha'i faith.  The green disc with the indigo circle represents the Earth, as these two religions were awoken when the world was fully aware of itself as a global civilization, likewise both paths offer 'updated' teachings and advocate a call to recognize foreign nations not as enemies or aliens, but rather as family.   This flag is for those very rare persons who have one ancestor from the Baha'i tradition and another from the Mormon tradition. 

The Baha'i and Mormon faiths are relatively new voices to grant access to the divine.   Like Yin and Yang, these two gateways to the Holy Temple opened at nearly the same time frame on opposite hemispheres of the Earth in the middle of the 1800s.   Interestingly these two congregations were last to arise before the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species.  Note, the Mormon faith emerged out of the Protestant American teachings set forth in the Holy Bible, while the Baha'i faith sprouted forth out of the Shiite Iranian tenets set forth from the Sacred Koran.

Both the Mormon and Baha'i hold the year 1844 as christened with special kind of karma. In the Baha'i faith an Iranian by the name of Siyyid Ali Muhammad Shirazi became a paramount spiritual leader as the Bab, who was later executed for adding new law to the dominant Iranian faith.  Across the world in the America in the very same year, 1844, the founder of Mormonism, Joesph Smith, was martyred by a violet mob in Carthage, Illinois for his non-traditional views of Christianity and family structure.  After the execution of the Bab and Joseph Smith two venerated leaders would arise to lead and build a sturdy foundation for the Baha'i and Mormon movements.  Out of the Christian tradition came Brigham Young from Vermont; and out of the Islamic tradition came Mirza Husayn-Ali Nuri, better known as Bah'au'llah.

Hindu-Buddheic Flag or Flag of Mixed Hindu and Buddhist Marriages

The flag for persons with a real, ethnic and religious connection to both Hinduism and Buddhism uses the colours red, orange, yellow, blue, and white.   On the left hoist side on a filed of orange is the meditative ohmm symbol, which looks like a number three with a tail and an 'upside down' fermata symbol.  A hidden fermata symbol within the Ohm is quite an amazing coincidence as it is a musical symbol that means A Grand Pause.   Likewise correct meditation or prayer of the Ohmmmm or AUM leads to a grand pause of the 'ego' and return to the highest 'reality-truth-divine' root of spirit. 
 
In a way the Hindu-Buddheic tradition is a match to the Judeo-Christian term, since the original Jesus was a Jewish and the original Buddha was Hindu.

The nations with a large population of mixed Hindu-Buddhist marriages include Nepal and India.  However there is a growing number in Canada and the United States, especially in British Columbia and New York City.

Flag Chart for Canaidan born outside of Canada

Some Canadians were not born in Canada.  Several thousand Canadians where were born abroad when there Canadian parents were living in foreign nations.  Likewise many immigrants to Canada can use the flag that fits their national origins.  But note laws of closest to the continent apply.  So Canadians born in Trinidad & Tabago, Barbados, and Puerto Rico should use the South America Canadian born abroad flag since these islands are closest to South America, than North America.

These flags can be used by immigrants who become naturalized Canadian citizens.

Flags in Under the Tuscan Sun - 2003

 Several fantastic flags appear in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun 2003.  In this shot a flag toss is taking place. This film is based upon the book written by Frances Mayes originally published in 1996.  You can read all about her wonderful books here: http://www.francesmayesbooks.com

 Like a bright coral reef the colours of Tuscany shine bright in this film.

 The flags follow the rules of a specific kind of Italian heraldry.  Like a visual bouquet of flapping and colours, these flags wavers put on a show.

 The flag show is also a competition.  Many of these flags break the rules of a what it is to be a 'Good Flag' by using multiple colours and intricate patterns.  Nonetheless these vexillologically speaking 'Bad Flag' are beautiful sights.

Here the heroines of the story are seen watching to fantastic flag dance and display.  They even have their own flags to wave.

Trumpet Flags from the film - Under the Tuscan Sun 2003

In 2003 flags appeared in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun.  After falling out of love and needing to find a new beginning, an American writer movies to Italy and learns about the different colours of love.  Most importantly for this blog are the flags that appear during the flag ceremony at a village in Tuscany.

Here the colourful trumpet flags of white, sky blue, green, and purple can be seen hanging from the trumpets.

Beard Burger Logo - from the 2015 SpongeBob SquarePants movie

The Beard Burger is basically a Krabby Patty.  In the 2015 SpongeBob SquarePants movie a certain burger logo can be seen - The Beard Burger Logo.  It consists of a burger with a crossbones in the background.

Here drinks in treasure chests can be seen in front of the pirate themed burger stand.  The pirate theme truly is appropriate since the formula for the Beard Burger was pirated from Mr. Krabs. 

A flagship of one for the Burger Beard flashes its hamburger pirate badge and motto "Home of the Beard Burger."

Bikini Bottom Distress Flag from SpongeBob Movie, Sponge Out of Water 2015

 In The SpongeBob Movie Sponge Out of Water 2015 a purple tattered flag can be seen several times when the community is served an apocalyptic order of chaos.

Here SpongeBob and Plankton float by and another purple distress flag can be seen flying on a burning building.

SpongeBob SquarePants and Plankton Team Up Flag

A checker flag of yellow and green appear in the movie The SpongeBob Movie Sponge Out of Water 2015.  In order to save Bikini Bottom SpongeBob and Plankton team up.  Not since the match up of Magneto and Professor X has Hollywood produced an amazing anti-hero team up for the ages.
Yellow resents Plankton and green SpongeBob; or is it the other way around?

Flag Chart for Australians born Abroad

These flags mark the continent where an Australian person born overseas hails from. These flags are on the same scale of the Australian state flags.  They conserve the original design to honor Australian heritage but with modified colours.


Please note these flags are not ethnic nor national flags.  Rather they are geographical in nature.  They simply represent the continent where an Australian was born.



For example imagine if an Irish-Australian family were working overseas at the Tokyo Embassy in Japan, and gave birth to a son in Tokyo.  The son born of Australian parents in Japan would not be Japanese, ethnically nor by nationality.  Japan is only his birth place, subsequently he would be entitled to fly the Yellow Aussie born in Asia Flag. 


For a grand lot of Aussies born overseas, they can fly this flag as it has the UK and Ireland under its fold.  Similar to the current national flag it differs with yellow stars and central white cross. 




Each flag has a simplified canton with a unique pallet of colours, except for the two flags beyond the Old Wold and Americas.These flags are designed to evoke an Australian spirit yet show off the diverse voices that now compose modern Australia.




Terry Irwin is currently the best known American-Aussie at the moment.  Although she was born up and over in the USA, she is now an Australian Citizen since 2009. 

In the future several million Aussies will certainly be born in Antarctica and the islands nearest to theTruely Southern Continent. 

Christian-Hindu Flag

Interracial marriages may seem like an modern phenomena, but they are as an ancient as the Great Wall of China.  This flag is for persons of two faiths - Hinduism and Christianity.  This flag has a black cross and a rainbow pallet of colours.  The colours are reflective of the Chakra system of spirit and mind from ancient India.  In the canton is the meditative Ohm symbol.

It was in the Dark Crystal that the Ohm element of Hinduism melded with a Christian Imagination in a fantastic work of art in 1982.  See the video below:

Flag for Jewish-Muslim Families

The ego likes to categorize people into specific boxes, but there are many persons who don't fit into the established set of standard boxes.  In this case, this flag is for persons who happen to have one Jewish parent and one Muslim parent, or some ratio of this match. These persons have a spiritual connection to the Islamic world and Hebrew world.  People of faith understand that a higher being can be present in more than one place at the same time, but imagine a higher mind that is able to perceive several truths from a higher multi-dimensional axis?

The colours of this flag are yellow, blue, and white.  The blue Islamic crescent has an Israeli star with a partition of blue and white near the fly.  The colour yellow symbolizes the golden richness of their culture and history.  Blue symbolizes the enchanting power of the heavens and oceans.  Finally white symbolizes the purity of a divine spirit shining through their souls.

Flag for Christian-Muslims

In today's world the cultural melting pot has produced a new fusion of cultures.  In this instance, this flag represents two faiths that seem to be at perpetual odds.  Nonetheless, there is a small minority of persons who were born of one Muslim parent and one Christian parent.  Consequently here is the flag for this exceptionally rare diamond like generation who happens to have a spiritual and genetic connection to both the Holy Bible and Sacred Koran.

The Christian-Muslim flag is composed of six colours: black, green, sky blue, red, yellow, and white.  The imagery of Christian Cross and Islamic Crescent signify that this person has a divine connection to Islamic and Christian Heritages.

Flag for Christian-Jewish Persons

A sizable population of persons born of distant religions is making up a larger portion of the world year by year, especially in the United States and Canada.  In the wake of these 'hybrid' persons we have here the Christian-Jewish flag.  This flag represents persons who have one Jewish parent and one Christian parent, or some ratio of this combo. 

The white cross represents the purity of spirit for these persons born of mixed Jewish and Christian faiths.  The red field represents the courage and the natural ability of these people to bring healing and love to their families and the world.   The twelve five-pointed stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve disciples of Jesus.  Finally the six pointed star in the center is a proud reminder and badge of honor representing Jewish heritage. 
  
Persons born under these unique conditions have a connection to both spiritual worlds.  If you have a unilateral single minded point of view, it may seem perplexing that a person could be Jewish and Christian.  This situation is like a Spiritual Schrodinger's Cat's Conundrum.  A 'Chruish' individual can have a multilateral divine perception of Christ - in a quantum flux sort of way: as being a Divine Being and simultaneously an ordinary human.  However not every 'Chruish' person will have this ability. Some will choose a side, others will choose neither, and some will go elsewhere.  Others may have an obligate environmentally stimulated character, whereby they feel Christian around other Christians, or more Jewish around other Jews.  On the other hand, a few may be oppositely polarized feeling Jewish around Christians, and Christian around Jews.  It all depends, as you can make no assumptions on a person's faith.

If you happen to be a 'Half-Jew' you are not alone. Famous persons born under this flag include Bill Maher, Dorthy Parker, David Duchovny, Sarah Jessica Parker, Carly Simon, Matt Stone, Goldie Hawn, Paul Newman, Lenny Kravitz, and Courtney Love.

The Hindu-Jewish Flag

Since the world essentially has transformed into a city, new persons of mixed heritages have become.  In this case, two of the world's most ancient spiritual paths co-mingle for persons born under one Jewish parent and one Hindu parent.  At first it may seem impossible to harmonize two distant world views.  But for persons born under this special waterfall condition, a certain kind of karmic heritage is inherited at their disposal.  Although a severe minority of people are of this path, their mixed Jewish-Hindu hearts beat a real love, life, and grace into this confused world of 10,000 faiths. 

The chants and prayers of the high priests from India and Israel have echoed for thousands of years whence living and breathing Pharaohs of Giza ruled the Earth, continuing unto the present day.

Coincidentally these faiths were born at polar opposite ends of the Earth which is reflected in this flag.  Israel blossomed in the deepest valley of our home in the Valley of the Dead Sea which is at the lowest point of Earth.  However Hinduism's origins is a mystery but in the Valley of the Loftiest Heights of Mt. Everest it matured and revealed some of the mysteries to life of our cosmos.

The colours reflect the modern colours of the two paradoxically young yet ancient nations born in the middle of the 20th century after the War of Endless Tears.  Israel became new again on May 14, 1948 while India was reborn in August 15, 1947.

The Christian-Buddhist Flag

The Christian-Buddhist flag combines the colours of the Buddhist Flag and Scandinavian Christian Cross.  Thus we still see the colours of blue, orange, red, yellow, and white.  In the canton is a white 'Noble Eight Path Wheel' which is similar to the Ten Commandments in the Christian Tradition.   

Just as their are Biracial people there are Dual-Faith persons.  It is not necessary to be born into a certain type of faith, but if one has a Buddhist mother and Christian father or vice verse the resultant offspring has a right to fly this flag.  The majority of people under this flag came into being when the West and United States earnestly colonized and made an effort to shape Eastern Asia.  Although persons under this flag may choose one path over the other, or perhaps neither, they have a karmic heritage and real connection to both spiritual worlds.   

Perhaps the most famous person of under this flag is Tiger Woods.  Woods was born of a Buddhist East Asian from Thailand mother yet his father is African-American and Christian from Kansas.  

End of an Era for the Confederate Battle Flag

 

The Confederate Battle Flag was lowered today at 10:00am EST on the capitol grounds of South Carolina.

This flag was a polarizing flag.  It stirred the heart of South to North and Black to White.  Its elegant design gave it a natural and beautiful essence, but its meaning was deeply and passionately charged in the eye of the beholder.  It had a Yin and Yang or rose like effect on the American Heart from pride to shame, guilt to innocence, victory to surrender, black to white, North to South, ignorance to knowledge, humour to all seriousness, pain to pleasure, and hate to love.

Mysterious scars remain upon the psyche of the American heart, and only the mysterious threads of history under the good guidance of time's gentle, healing hand, know when and where the fleeting screams from yesterday will stop.  With time and compassion, we will enlarge to that highest level of understanding and begin to love again.

Flag of Ahimsa and Hamsa flag of Fatima - East meets West

Two hands that advocate peace from the True Middle East and True Middle West, India and Arabia. When giving these hands, it is a peace gesture more a kin to Spock's 'Live Long and Prosper' or the two fingered peace salute.
