Notice the Vexilloids
The Yellow Submarine 1968
1968 was a decisive year for the Global Community. The United States, Europe, Russia, China, Africa, and South East Asia were embroiled in cultural revolution. It was also the first year humans were able to enter the gravitational orbit of the moon, and see the earth as one whole - torn with political strife, yet as a beautiful and peaceful sphere of joy in eye of a poet.
1968 was also the year of the
Yellow Submarine. The film takes its title from the Beatles' 10th album -
The Yellow Submarine. However this covert ship from fantasia was on a mission of love and peace. This story centers on a musical wonderland that becomes over run with 'Blue Meanies.' The Blue Meanies are ruled by an angry Blue King, who abhors melodic music and harmony . Rather the Blue Meanies wish to make the world petrified of a loving life. They assault the happy people of fantasia with negative-toxic bolts and jealously green laden fruits.
The the army of the Blue Meanies overlooking a ledge. They are planing their attack on the original Sergeant Pepper and the Lonely Hearts Club Band - who look remarkable like the Beatles. Notice the two vexilloids they carry in addition to their weapons.
The blue meanie army is composed of a varied sort - big blue fat cats, shark tummy Turks, angry alligator hand men, humanoid blue troopers, clown bombers, and tall wealthy fruit barons. But their most impressive fighter is a big blue fist that has speed and power.
The two main divisions of the Blue Meanie Army are divided into two camps. The blue fimbrated red lightning bolt with pink tassles division and the purple cyclops fancy golden tufted eyebrow and orange wings.

The Beatles Message for overcoming the 'Blue Meanies' is simply LOVE
The flag of the United States of America appears almost by accident in the 1968 counter culture classic - The Yellow Submarine. The US flag appears in the head of one of the heads in the headland. The British Flag also makes an appearance as well.
The film is basically a guide to the ego in altered states of consciousness. Here Ringo is saved by the US 7th Calvary after 'hitting' the panic button during his amazing voyage into fantasia. The US Calvary is carrying a guidon that is divided horizontally down the middle with US written in yellow on red and the number seven in red on the white half.
