  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You have very low standards for confirming your views.

According to you a Vietnam vet is not qualified to explain the meaning of a surrender flag? even after it was the same meaning offered in the initial link provided?

What will you do when you lose the internet because of skyrocketing electricity bills due to no more Russian gas and you cannot get to Snopes to feed you your favorite demofacts and troothes?

See? Even, my source for what I said to you about no more Russian gas was right, (though I do not agree with his self-fulfilling egotistical prophecy which probably makes WW3 now inevitable if it isn't already in progress).

February 2022 Press Conference:

Biden: “If Russia invades [Ukraine] .....There will be no longer a North Stream II. We will bring an end to it.”

Reuters: “But how will you do that exactly, since the control of this project is within Germany’s control?”

Biden: “I promise you, we’ll be able to do it.”

Oh yeah, all russian propaganda sources are screaming in concert that it was USA who blew up the pipelines, just as the "referendums" finish. There are russian trolls posting about this being the USAs doing in the comment sections of all news sides.

This was obviously russias doing. So transparent. And who cares, it's not like they were sending any more gas. I'm happy the pipelines are gone, at least now there are clear circumstances.

For those interested in the OP, I've found some more info on what it means. Apparently Donald Trump has been using for years a variation on military semaphore flags.

Basically it boils down to this -

If a belligerent force has, through subterfuge, gotten in control of the country and haven’t identified themselves that they are working on behalf of a foreign power (like spies) they have one calendar year according the the law of war to declare themselves.

The stars were blacked out indicating that we are an occupied country.

What an absolute load of silliness. Thank goodness he lost his reelection.

I'm ex army Signal corp. This is not even close to correct. Semaphore flags are brightly colored and simple patterns do they can be distinguished from a long way off. You don't use small hard to discern items

What on earth is "The law of war"?

You must have missed the word, 'variation' I used. Of course he hasn't been out there waving flags. Think out of the box.

Who is being signaled? Who is going to take action? Seems too cryptic to have any affect.

You're a veteran? long time ago? perhaps that's why you don't remember basic training. Not surprised, I asked my husband who is an Ex Army Sargent and he wasn't familiar with the term but says that he remembers learning about it under the name of the Geneva Convention.

Certain signals are not for general population but those that understand these things they are very clear in their meaning.

And here we are, the general population, discussing these supposed signals so what are we to make of it?

If these signals are supposed to be super secret for those in the know only, then make it something obvious like black stars. Now all the google warriors are all over it and outing the secret signals.

The stars aren't black, they are silver-white with metallic or glossy colored synthetic polymer thread. Under certain lighting conditions, they might appear darker than they actually are because the specularity of the fabric would be absent.

It's just an accident of lighting, nothing more. There's no deep message here and that kind of thinking strikes me as very schizotypal or bizarre.
