South Carolina threatens to secede if confederate flag is removed. The petition for South Carolina's secession has over 115,000 signatures!
Despite the Governor Haley's new position on the Confederate Flag, members of South Carolinas House of Representatives believes the flag represents the culture of South Carolina and should not be removed because some people do not like to see it. A petition has started within the House of Representatives for the state to secede from the United States if the confederate flag is removed. Those who defend the flag, including the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a social and political group in the South, insist the flag is a symbol of the state’s past and no longer carries the racist meaning
According to Leland Summers, Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans,“There is absolutely no link between the Charleston massacre and the Confederate Memorial Banner. Don’t try to create one. The petition for South Carolina's secession from the United States already has over 115,000 signatures since Haley's announcement earlier today."

FlagFLAG

The United States of America Military Flag

plain and simple--no gold fringe or other ornaments and symbolism attachedNot the original
USA Military flag

Some say it is a flag of Admiralty/Maritime type jurisdiction and is not suppose to be used on Land. Others say it’s not a flag at all, but fiction.However, the gold fringe which surrounds the flag gives notice that the American flag has been captured and is now being used by the corporate so-called government to give notice of its jurisdiction.

Prior to the 1950's, state republic flags were mostly flown, but when a USA flag was flown, usually only at USA facilities, it was one of the following:

Military flag --Horizontal stripes, white stars on blue backgroundHas no fringe, braid (tassel), eagle, ball, spear, etc.

Some say the correct size ratio is 1 x 1.9

Civil Flag --Created in 1799 by Secretary of the Treasury Oliver Wolcott. Intended for peace time usage, denoting civil jurisdiction under the Constitution and common law. Has vertical stripes, blue stars on white background--last flown before Civil War with a few exceptions.

A 1913 Postcard has a civil flag flying
on the Customs House in San Francisco

Click on picture to enlarge

Another example of
the vertical stripes:
"The Coast Guard Ensign (flag) was first flown by the Revenue Cutter Service in 1799 to distinguish revenue cutters from merchant ships."
--Wikipedia

This flag was a symbol of law enforcement authority, not Military authority.

The flag shown above appears to be a "USA flag" but has one or more of the following:

Gold fringe along its borders (called "a badge")

Gold braided cord (tassel) hanging from pole

Ball on top of pole (last cannon ball fired)
Mainly used at induction centers.

Eagle on top of pole

Spear on top of pole
Some people see them as ornaments but all symbols have a meaning and purpose.

The flag shown above is Not described in Title 4 of USC and therefore is illegal on land except for maybe (1) the President since he is in charge of Naval Forces on high seas, and (2) naval offices and yards.

President Eisenhower settled the debate on the width of the fringe.

The so-called justification for a Naval/Maritime flag to be on land is that all land was under the high water mark at one time even if it was eons ago.

Flags on poles flying at the same height as other flags have equal status. A flag flying higher than the flag below indicates superiority over the flag below. Note that corporate state flags fly below the US flag.

Keep in mind that the states were originally Sovereign over the central government and only the state flags were flown except in the District of Columbia not exceeding 10 miles square, its territories, forts, dockyards, arsenals, and other needful buildings, such as Post Offices, purchased with the consent of the legislature of the affected state.
(Constitution, Section 8, Clause 17)

The people in the geographic continental USA are at peace but the corporate government continues to be at war to exist, to increase and perpetuate debt, and to enrich others through

Not so sure about "love always conquers hate" as it clearly does NOT always do so. If it did, you would never have a shooter like Dylan Roof, let alone a group like ISIS gain so much power.

Hot damn! Thank God the SC House is fighting back!

Events of this week have been so stunning and have happened so fast I think most people are in shock. With the Texas governor and attorney general insisting they will not be forced by the supreme court and the SC House coming back now with this petition, it looks like the staggering blow has not completely knocked us out.

Time for a counter punch.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address

Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests:

"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein

I believe this was TPTB's plan all along. They've wanted to incite a civil war. That's why all the military gear has been placed mostly in the south.

We need to find a LEADER. We need to take that gear. We need to make our military understand that the government doesn't give a damn about them... they took an oath to protect us, and they better start honoring that oath !!!!

I'm just feeling like the good, Patriotic citizens of this nation are playing into the hands of the usurpers.

WE NEED GOD'S HELP !!
