Atoll & Mariner Green Flag in Waterworld 1995

 Several flags appear in the 90s classic post apocalyptic dystopian future Waterworld 1990.  At one of the trading atolls communities several flags can be seen flying off in the distance.  They are hard to make out but they can be seen flapping just above the horizon in this picture. 

 A green flag can be seen on the mutant mariner's sail ship.  Hard to make out but flags would act as natural message beacons on the water powered only by wind and sunlight.

 Apparently when the green flag is hoisted a mariner is supposed to stop and help.

The Mad Max Fury Road Guship Boat Flag

In Waterworld 1995 a flag can be seen on the "Mad Max Fury Road Gunship Boat".  No bait and switch here,  this is an epic post-apocalyptic world that has the Earth covered in water, thus the name Waterworld.  This movie delivers like its name suggests, and it has lovable three dimensional bag guys who make you hate them while making you laugh.  Likewise the good guys are not all virgin white horse pure cartoonish goodies, our heroes and heroines in this story have ugly and not so nice irrational sides as well. 

A severely underrated, fun, spectacular movie made before the dawn of CGI totality.  It is a fun satire from the past applicable to present time issues.  Waterworld is an all American classic that will surely stay afloat through the ages, unlike several cartoonish one dimensional CGI funkfests of 2015. 

The flag on the gunship boat has a white field and blue area canton.  It looks like it may have once been a flag for a shipping company or yacht club.

Flag for people of Gypsy and Sikh heritages

The Jipseek flag is for persons who are modern mixes of Gypsy and Sikh heritages.  The Gypsy people are thought to originate from the Punjab area some 1000 years ago.  Sikh men are required to wear turbans in public; while the mystical Gypsy in a turban stereotype, which is no longer true, is a prominent feature in the American imagination.

Gypsies or Romani can be of any faith, most are Christian, some are Muslim, and a small minority follow traditional folk spirituality.  Sikhs by definition are their own religion created in a fusion of the Abrahamic traditions with Hinduism.

Thus this flag is for persons who have one Sikh parent and one Romani parent, or some degree of this pair.  Coincidentally genetic and linguistic evidence connects the Romani people as originating out of the Sikh homeland of Punjab, long before the genesis of the Sikh religion.  The colours of the flag are based upon the official Roma flag, while the central icon is a combination of Roma and Sikh icons.

Flag for persons of mixed Jain and Druze faiths - "Drewjainian"

The Druze and Jain are mysterious religions from Arabia and India, respectively.  This flag is for persons who have one parent of the Druze religion and the other from the Jain tradition.  Druze are often confused as being Muslims, likewise people of the Jain path are thought to be Hindu.  Coincidentally both the Druze and Jain recognize reincarnation as a fundamental belief, but their approaches to connecting with the divine are radically different, from each other and both from Islam and Hinduism.

Note there is a connection between the hand of the Arabic Hamsa Fatima and the Jain Ashimsa Hand.

The design of the flag takes its colours and designs from the official Druze and Jain flag but rotated on its axis 90 degrees.  The Jain hand of 'do no harm to a living creature' is white and has the 24 slotted mandala coloured with the four of the Druze colours.  In the center the 'ahimsa' be at peace is a white star reflective of the Druze star but it completely coloured white as the fifth element of the Druze colour scheme.  The white star and white hand denote the divine grace that can be found in both approaches to life, when lived in its best quality.

Cat Flag

Hang in there? Cat on Screendoor flag presents a welcoming and playful atmosphere. Semi-two-and-a-half deminsion flags are rare and eye catching flags, that can make you pause and ponder the moment.

The Flag for people of mixed Jewish and Druze faith, Reuniting the Tribes of Jacob and Jethro

The flag for persons who are a mixed interfaith of Jewish and Druze religions is composed of five colours: red, yellow, blue, white, and green.  The five colours are reflective of the Druze flag while the Star of David and blue-white stripes commemorate the modern Israeli banner.  Consequently any person who has one Jewish parent and one Druze parent, or some dynamic of this familial connection, may fly this flag to honor their graceful Druze and Jewish heritages.  This lends the term Drewzish or Drewish?

So what is a Druze?  Basically another less known and talked about faith from the Holy Land.  The Druze people are a Semitic people with Arab window dressing.  The Druze faith is connected to the Patriarch Abraham distinct from Islam, Christianity or Judaism.  They also have thier own set of Divine Documents, known as the Letters of Wisdom. Uniquely the Druze are descended from the Biblical patriarch Jethro.

In America the name Jethro has a country bumpkin connotation or is associated with the hard rock band Jethro Tull.  However people who regularly study the Bible will recognize that it invokes the spirit of the Old Testament, in particular Moses's father-in-law Jethro the Midianite. 

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.
