Kilo and Tare - International Maritime Flag Concordance

The International Maritime names for K and T, match up, on another level.  In this case Kilo matches with T's maiden name: Tare.  Currently T is called Tango.  T changed from Tare to Tango in 1957 with a few of the other flags. Nearly all the international marine names changed names except for Mike and X-Ray.  The names for the letter M and X flag have been a constant since 1913.  All the other letters underwent modification at various times.  The first switch up was in 1927, then 1938, then during WWII.  Finally in 1957, during the birth of the space age with Sputnik, the names names of the flag letters have remained.

A peculiar aspect of the names of the international maritime flags is that they align in quirky way, two by two.  More obvious examples are Romeo & Juliet, Tango & Foxtrot, or Alpha & Delta.  In this case Kilo (modern K) matches up with Tare (Initial T).

If you didn't know many weights have a TARE button that resets a weight to zero while something is on it.  For example is you wanted to measure something like a liquid.  First you put the empty container on the scale.   Let's say the container weights 2 Kilos.  If you hit the TARE button it will go to zero, and then you can add the liquid to see how much it weighs.  The TARE button basically subtracts the out the containers weight, so you can get the weight of the substance in the container.



 

Golf & Sail - International Maritime Flag Concordance

The name of the maritime flags for G and S match up with Sail and Golf.  Anyone can learn to sail or play golf, but these sports are associated with the wealthy.  Two of the most elite social clubs of modern society are the Country Club and Yacht Club.

Most Country Clubs are connected to Golf Courses, while most Yacht Clubs have a private armada of sailing ships. Of course you don't have to sail or play golf to belong to either of these organizations.

Sail is no longer used as the call-name for the S-Flag.  Instead Sierra have become its preferred name.

Whiskey and Beer - International Maritime Flag Concordance

Whiskey and Beer meet up within the framework of the International Flag Concordance.  The similarity should be obvious.  Many a sailor and grunt will known that these two refreshments are key medicines in the preparation and practice of war.

On the other hand, Whiskey is whipper snapper generation.  Originally W was called William since WWI, WWII, and even during the Korean War.  But when the space age began with Sputnik in 1957, W became Whiskey.  Nowadays, the letter B flag is known as Bravo.

Charlie and Mike - International Maritime Flag Concordance

Certain things seem to pair up like sweet & sour, ketchup & mustard, or salt & pepper.  In this case the names of the international maritime flags pair up on a conceptual level.  First of all Charlie and Mike are common first names of men and they are code for soldiers to keep marching on.

Charlie is the coded to the letter C, while Mike is coded to the letter M.  Other flags, previously compared are: T&F, which are dances as the Tango and Foxtrot; and R&J which are Romeo and Juliet.  It seems that there is a natural proclivity for the human mind to think in sweet-pea pairs.

India and Quebec - International Signal Marine Concordance

What in the world is a conceptual congruency?  Basically the international maritime flags pair on goofy kind of conceptual level.  For instance the flags for R and J are called Romeo and Juliet.  The flags F and V are named after ballroom dances.

For the signal flags for the letters I and Q, they are named after large land areas, India and Quebec.  Like many nations they are both deeply connected the English speaking world, yet have maintained their own unique and original identity.

The Good Friday Tri-Cross Easter Flag

One ancient, dreadfully sadistic practice of a slow, humiliating, public execution, has ironically become a symbol of Christian faith.  Most churches embrace this icon, while a few eschew it, demonstrating the perpetual voice of the counter echo.  Nonetheless, it has become the primary device to indicate that a group of souls are aligned in someway to the path of Jesus of Nazareth.  Although many churches claim to hold the one and only singular path, the Path of Nazareth has and will continue to have new paths constructed by new churches and souls yet to be born, it is inevitable.  No doubt, in 2054, the paths of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church will reunite for a new kind of Super Pope.

The flag is reflective of springtime colours, that indicate a revival of life.  This organic rebirth of nature is congruently associated with the resurrection of Jesus.  Is it any wonder that the egg should also become an iconic token of Christ?

Regardless, the flag is composed of the colours of Easter: a soft, cheerful, blossoming of colours, as ordained by workings of Mother Earth and our Heavenly Father.  There is a checker pattern of blocks made up of baby blue, pink, yellow, basket-green, and peachy-orange.  The checker patterns reveals the two lesser crosses, of the other two men executed on Good Friday: the scornful voice who berated his Godhead at deaths door and the sorrowful voice who chose to uplift his Godhead at life's twilight.  Who can imagine the words spoken at this so very pondering and well remembered moment in history?   10,001 Kings, Queens, Presidents, Governors, Mayors, Judges, Doctors, Criminals and Fools have been pulled by our collective consciousness to reflect and ponder the gravity of these public death sentences.  

No matter the interpretation, a radiant afterglow of hope is recognized by the inner evolved unscientific eye of the observer.   

Happy Easter
