Georgia Republic Contiguous Zone Flag


Although Georgia is seemingly in the heart of the old world, she has a coastline along the black sea.  The coastline is along international waters shared by different nations.  Consequently a contiguous zone flag makers this area of the Earth under maritime rule of Georgia, yet is an international space. 

The contiguous colours of orange, white, and black are simply applied the unique and memorable designs of Georgia.

Greek Contiguous Zone Flag

The contiguous zone is special area that is partly international and part of another nation.  For the area that is tied to Greece, we have the Greek Contiguous Zone flag.  This flag retains the Greek flag design but alters the colours with contiguous that are orange, black, and white. 

It is the part of the Earth that Greece maritime police forces are active yet international ships are allowed passage.

Israel Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

The Israel Exclusive Economic Zone Flag is a twlight international zone that is under the economic shadow of a sovereign nation.  The economic rights like fishing, mining, and trade are under Israeli authority.  Yet, any ship may pass through these waters without Israeli permission.

Israel Continguous Zone Flag


The contiguous zone is the special international twilight zone where it partly belongs to the world and to another specific nation.  In this case these waters are tied to Israel which has protective dominion- and is allowed to marshall police force.  By international law continguous zones extend 12 nautical miles out to sea.  This coast is on an internal international sea, the Mediterranean Sea, on the west coast of Asia.  The contiguous colours of orange, black, and white are used. Since Israel has a unique pattern, its design is conserved, yet the colours are different.

Australian Commercial: Gathering of Gods Eating Lamb, Lamb Ad

An Aussie commercial has all the Gods dining together enjoying lamb.  The most vexillologically significant item is a person called Ron who is wearing naval type cap.  The insignia may be related to Scientology, the details can not be made out.  But the persons making this commercial did their homework, it probably is. We don't know for sure if it's supposed to be Ron Hubbard, for sure.

Here we have the powerful Hindu God Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati.  His body was made from clay by his mother Parvati, while the elephant head was chosen by his father Shiva.  Shiva was introduced to the West in Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom, when Indy invokes Shiva near the end to save the day. Ganesha is wearing vexillological like garland, which is most likely jasmine flowers.

You can also see Jesus perform a reverse miracle.  This commercial is offensive to some yet a riot laugh to others.  You just have to see below, to believe it.  Perhaps the biggest error is Ganesha eating lamb, this is wrong since he is a vegetarian...oopsy and offensy.  Good thing Ganesha is such a compassionate God.  But Jesus just steals the show.





In the clip below is the scene where Indy invokes Shiva to activate the crystal rocks, which end up destroying the bad guy whose evil quest for power destroys himself.  Once again the prayers to a God end up saving the day while destroying the bad guy, as it was with original Indiana Jones.  Instead of the Ark of Judaism we have the Shiva Rocks that help our heroes.

US Flag in Professional Wrestling, G.L.O.W. and Hulk Hogan



Professional Wrestling is a sport and entertainment evenly mixed into one art form.  When compared to football and comic books, pro-wrestling is the proverbial middle path that combines the best of both worlds.

Being successful in any of these worlds be it the Professional Athletics, Wrestling Mania, or Comics takes heart, dedication, luck, and talent.  Yet some people scorn each world for different reasons.  All kingdoms have there own level of competition, heartache, truth, and glory.  Evey once and a while a gem of memory is captured in film or paper, that is bigger than itself for all to awe and respect.  Nonetheless, each form generates tons of cash for different reasons and can inspire those who take joy from such pleasures, creating a community and sense of family.  But like all pleasures too much, can ruin ones life.  Likewise there are many snobs who pride themselves on such trivial knowledge, with haughty self-importance turning each form into a virtual fundamentalist religion.  Yet there are others who enjoy and know how to spread their joy evenly. 



 So is Wrestling Mania the middle path between the imaginary comic book world and real life professional world?  This diagram would indicate that this is true.

 You can see the US flag on the post next to 'READ GLOW MAGAZINE' which was on the air from 1986 until 1990.  G.L.O.W. represented Gorgeous, Ladies, Of, Wrestling.  It was an all female troop of talented and athletic muses who punched themselves into 1980s pop culture.

The professional wrestling mania of women took on themes of idealized female icons.  One wrestler was Lady Godiva, who is sitting on a UK flag.  No she is not nude, but did wear a nude coloured body outfit, that was decorated with flowers.

Lunar Twilight 2017-2018


As 2018 starts a new cycle of rotation around our sun, an echo of 2017 still remains.  Since the current moon was created on December 19, 2017 its last light will end on January 17th.  Consequently when the Sun rests for the day the evenings in a spiritual sense revert back 2017.  Since the lunar cycle changes so much Lunar Twilight varies from New Year to New Year.

The Lunar Twilight Candlemast is composed of candles of a various length. All are supposed to be lit each evening.  The candles burn out in a specific order.  In the example above the shortest candle on left goes out first.  By January 17 the last candle is lit upon the first New Moon of 2018, the eve before the first Moon to be revealed in the next year.

This holiday is for all persons of any faith or ultimate reality.  It is not a ethnic exclusive holiday.  Nor is it overtly religious in nature, requiring certain prayers or procedures.  Yet it is a celebration of our understanding of astronomy and our celestial connection to the heavens. It represents added clemency for time, to fix things from yesteryear, to give mercy, say good bye, and appreciate the past.
