Secrets of the Flags

by Star

Before you read the following article, take a few minutes of your precious time and look at the following flags. Try to unravel the hidden messages of each flag. That is right; each flag has a secret to be unveiled.

What does a national flag of a country represent? Does it represent the geographical status of its country? Or does it portray the social/global status of its nation?

There are around two hundred different countries with two hundred different national flags in our world. Each flag is unique in itself with a hidden message to be discovered.

Let's take, for instance, the Canadian flag; it has two vertical red bands with a maple leaf in between. The Canadian flag represents who Canadians truly are. The two vertical red bands are like two standing vigilant walls which protect peace (the middle white band) and life (the red maple leaf). What can you do with a leaf? As you know, the only function of a leaf is photosynthesis. It is due to the miraculous action of photosynthesis that carbon dioxide (a poisonous gas) is removed from the atmosphere and instead, oxygen (a vital gas) is produced and released. Perhaps that is why Canadians are crazy about international peace keeping missions for those nations who want to poison each other to death. Yes! Canadians do represent their national flag when they try to remove the elements of hatred and atrocity by replacing them with peace.

How about American flag? To me, the American flag stands for unity and order. There are fifty stars with thirteen parallel red and white stripes on the flag. Think about number 13 seriously. It is OK to get superstitious once in your lifetime. Nonetheless, the stars represent the unity of the American nation. Fifty states unite and congregate to police and, perhaps, exploit the world. In fact, Americans do stay parallel and harmonic when it comes to defend their patriotic land; it doesn't matter what color they are, red or white. Are you still thinking about number 13? Keep thinking!

Now, take a look at those flags with big crosses. For instance, take a look at the British flag with its dominating red crosses. A cross represents crucifixion. Crucifixion represents torture, pain, agony, bloodshed and in due time, death. There are two crosses on the flag -one is the main cross for crucifixion and the other (the diagonal cross) is to cross out Catholicism to become Protestant. I am not going to contemplate on the British flag more than this. I will leave it up to you how to dig into the hidden message of this flag with its big crosses. Good luck on finding the secrets of the British flag. I remind you that history may comes handy for your discovery.

A better example of a flag with a cross is the flag of Nazi Germany. A black broken cross in the center of the Nazi flag with a pool of blood around the cross signifies dark years of human pain, agony, atrocity, bloodshed and death. It seems that these are the kind of things that you can do with a broken cross. Yes indeed, the black broken cross represents the true nature of the Nazis.



For a second, meditate on the Iranian flag with the name of Allah, the almighty God, in the center of the flag and numerous accounts of Allaho Akbar, God is great, in the green and red parts of the flag. Or more lucid, the Iraqi flag with its statement of Allaho Akbar, God is great, with three supporting stars in the middle of the flag. Nevertheless, Iran is the only official dark-age theocracy left in the world. Shame on Iranians because they live in the 21st Century while they follow the archaic rules of Islam from 1400 years ago. As we know, Iranians and Iraqis rely and trust in God much more compared to Americans, for almost everything rather than relying on themselves. Don't you think that Iran and Iraq depict the axis of God, Allah?

The most frightening flag of all is the national flag of Saudi Arabia. There is the declaration that "Allah is the only God and Mohammed is his only messenger" with a big sharp sword beneath. This proposes that you have to believe in Allah as the only God and Mohammed as God's last messenger to humanity, otherwise you are going to face the sword. It's scary. Isn't it?

Now, it is your turn to take a look at other international, national, or domestic flags to figure out what they are all about. Good luck with uncovering the secrets of the flags and their national enigmas.
