Luhansk and Dontsk Peoples Republic - 8 Years Not in Tibet of Lost Republics

 


Since the 2014 Ukranian War two break away regions have formed in Eastern Europe.  They are the Luhansk Peoples Republic and the Donetsk Peoples Republic.  This region of Ukraine was the mostly Russian speaking region of Ukraine that wanted to maintain an Eastern outlook.  Their flags are fraternal flag partners who existed in limbo for nearly 8 years without any recognition.  

The flags are similar to the flag of Russia, except for the top bar which is light blue for Lugansk and black for Donetsk.  

As when Louisiana Territory was sold the USA when Napoleon occupied Spain, the occupation of the Russian military under Putin is currently pushing for their annexation into Russia.   

Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are also soon to be incorporated into Mother Russia shortly.   But they never existed as breakaway republics.  

Texas had good 10 year run as an independent breakaway republic before it was annexed into the USA, but it looks like the Donetsk and Luhansk Republics will not break the Texan ten-year standard.  These republics lasted from 2014 to 2022, in limbo, and their time in limbo will soon be over. 

But the Transnistria Republic snuggled in between Moldova and Ukraine is holding the record for Eastern Europe with 32 years as a mostly unrecognized republic since 1990.

Flag of Zamunda, Coming 2 America 2021

 

The flag of Zamunda is horizontal bicolour, black on top, green below.  The icon in the center is the outline a lion either holding a weapon or some sort of flower, or maybe its the sun.  


Attention to detail for this sequel was paramount.  When Eddie returns to America for the 2nd time, his limousine is decked out with gold fringed car flags.  

 

 

 

 

The coat of arms for Zamunda are slightly different compared to the flag.  The shield is divided vertically instead and the colors are blue and green instead of black and green.

Flags in Strawberry Mansion 2021

Strawberry Mansion is the new cult sleeper classic for the 20s.  There are movies made every so often that are artful and fun.  This movies taps that market for the mind expanding movies made on basic budget that is swarmed with tender love in care.  Something magical with a solid artistic heart the Coraline 2009, yet surreal like Altered States 1980. 

Of flags in the movie, during the ordering scene during the Cap'n Kelly Chicken board, chickens along the bottom can be seen walking towards the right with banners attached to their tail feathers.  One of the banners read "Trust Your Cravings." 


The decal on the hat of the disembodied customer service Cap'n Kelly Chicken has with a uniquely drawn anchor, which effectively represents their brand. 

Strawberry Mansion is a movie of the Naked Lunch variety, but its set design and art direction are hypnotically stunning, worthy of an academy award.  It is truly a work of art, that tells a fun story with a message, without the giving one a beating on the head, unlike the mainstream political jackhammer of tinsel town.

Tired of the Hollywood schlock?  Give this movie a try, it's a dreamy trip made with heart on dime.

Soylent Green - Police Badge

 

Soylent Green was movie from 1973 that predicted the state of the world in 2022.  It got a few things right, like people wearing masks.  But in this movie the environmental disaster was resulted in the 2022, which makes food very scarce.  Consequently a quirky twist has resulted.  

The police in Soylent Green wear silver colored helmets and the special star badge on the center of the helmet.  The back triangle is black and pointing upwards, while the front triangle is yellow and is pointing downwards. 

 

 

 


 Upon the yellow badge it is written CITY of NEW YORK POLICE DEPT.

Soylent Green People Mass Recycling Truck

 

A unique vexillological item in Soylent Green, set in a dystopian year of 2022, appears on the waste management vehicle.  As it was a rather low budget sci-fi movie, they just printed a design a slapped over the would have been official logo of the trash truck.  

One flag appears in the opening montage.  It looks like a pennant, that is impossible to discern.  It is jack of some sort; a jack is special type of flag flown at the front or bow of a ship.


The movies predicted the band Green Day would still be popular in the year 2022.  Just Amazing! Green Day needs to make a song called "Soylent Tuesday!"



It is so trippy look at a book from 1973 that shows the past from 2015 to 2019.  Back in 1973, 2022 seemed light years away.  From now, of the year 2022, that is like the year 2071!  Believe it or not much will have changed.  As Louis Zorich said in his seminal role of Chef Pete in Pete's Diner from The Muppets Take Manhattan, "Peoples are Peoples."

Somebody in 1973 must have been tripping on future somethings, because they hit the target that in 2022, people would wear masks.  But we don't all wear the same kind of drab clothes.  


 

The cool retro games of 1973! Apparently the rich man who had this in his apartment was video game collector, who could afford such a retro game in perfect condition.
