They used the American flag last night to represent 9 11 date subliminally
Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 04:41 PM by libertypirate


Each of the flags spell out 911 it is totally subliminal, start with the small flags first. The top portion of the 9 is the area of the stars. These people are sick!

2. That accounts for the wrong number of stripes 9 are shown.
The strips make a nice 11

8. Yup,there should be one more stripe plus the flag is reversed...
The Stars(union)should be the other way around--its like your looking at the back side of the flag.

BUSH desecrated OUR flag!! Impeach NOW!

9. desecration was the picture of Bush signing an American flag
It was out of line for a president to put his name on an American flag.

40. That's how you're supposd to hang a flag vertically
When looking AT the flag, the union should always be at the top left.

44. Good question...the flag code is not specific about this...
I think since the orientation of the flag was correct, only showing a partial image is most likely acceptable. Personally, I don't think the flag and * should share the same stage, but the code isn't specific about that either. ;)

32. He's there, watching over Bush
I mean, now that someone mentions it, I can see how the small flags look like "911".

But I doubt it was intentional.

They don't need to be subtle or subliminal.

They beat us over the head with 9/11. Why be subtle when you are going to be that direct and blunt?

I vote for "miserable failure".

BTW, I think you're right about the subliminable 9/11's. There's really no reason why those flag images are rotated 90 degrees and have several stripes chopped off.

13. I don't know how to make the point that a portion of the flag
is not our national symbol. The whole flag is and the shape and size of that area could be filled with the entire flag but it wasn't.

11. You know, I think he's right.
It took me a moment to see it, but now that I do see it it's hard to miss. THAT could be why the flags only have 9 stripes.

It could be sheer coincidence. But I doubt it -- considering that, with an event like this, orchestrated by Karl Rove, every little detail about the presentation is micro-managed, from the color of Bush's tie downwards. I think it's intentional.

Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 04:20 PM by Broken Acorn
I don't see the '9' anywhere, but the way the flags are hanging definitely shows the 11.

It is very odd regarding the positioning of the flags.

If this was their intentions, just another reason to remove these neo-cons from power.

33. If so, they're outdated
Propaganda done with subliminal images doesn't really work. Subliminal advertising images don't really work, either. With words, you can do it, but the visuals need to be plain if not grotesquely exaggerated. This idea of hiding one image in another to affect the target at a subconscious level was fairly well discredited after the 80s. IIRC it was tobacco and alcohol campaigns which were supposed to have used images of sex and death in smoke curls and condensation to sell their products, but it was not shown to have any effect. Maybe that helps to date the producer of their set dressing.

37. Vance Packard wrote some books about it
So I tried writing "fuck" and "sex" and drawing huge penises into the shading on my art projects to try to get a better grade. :shrug: Maybe their set designer has only now read The Hidden Persuaders.

18. IMO, it's enough that the flags resemble the two towers
And the staging of this political rally with a built-in audience is just icing on the catapult.

Some day, PR insiders and commentators will stop viewing these cheap visual gimmicks as clever.

Of course, that might be the day suckers stop falling for them, in which case, who would care?

20. I found this hard to believe at first.
Go to nytimes.com and watch their video. You can see the little flags more clearly & the height/width/spacing of the numbers on the little flags is near that of a normal font. Tough to believe, but there are a lot of funny things:

1. there are not the right number of stripes } ==> spelling-out
2. the flag is "backwards," } ==> 9 1 1
3. there are two big flags, like big towers

These guys are good (as in bad-good).

I also see the 9/11 in the flags - even the star field is a bit curved on the bottom to make it look more like the upper half of the "9".

26.  I was wondering why they chose to represent the flag like that.
I thought it looked odd to see the field of blue on the left. It's usualy on top or on the right. If the flag had been simply rotated, it would have been at the bottom left. They reversed the image, then rotated it. The reverse-field is used on military uniforms, so I wonder if that had anything to do with it, since it was at Fort Bragg? Then again, what's with only 9 stipes?

41. That's the proper way to hang the flag vertically
It's a common misconception that you should simply rotate the flag 90deg clockwise, when that is not correct. When hanging vertically, the union should be upper left, as it is when hanging horizontally.

74. Flag Protocol
There is an official protocol for hanging the U.S. flag in that fashion. While you are correct that the union was displayed in the proper corner, the flag is supposed to lay flat, such that then entire union and all thirteen stripes can be seen. Clearly this was a poor representation of the U.S. flag, and on a military base, to boot.

See item # 8 on the attached link.

I see it more clearly on the larger flags. The blue field and the red stripe extending from its corner is the "nine" and the two long red stripes are the "ones".

Unreal...I'd like to know from Scotty just who stage managed this flag message, who designed it, and what else are they working on for you?

BTW, Did you notice that after the speech, ALL the cable networks were (Forced?) to keep at least 1 camera on BushCO while he glad handed the troops for, like, 10 minutes. More image based stage managed propaganda, me thinks.

76. I did notice that when
I think it was Nancy Pelosi giving the Democrat response, and when she really began to critcize Bush effectively, they reduced the shot of her and showed Bush in a larger window shakiing hands with the troops. This is another subliminal way to tone down the focus on the criticism, while you are watching Bush shake hands in a big window, you may not be as apt to be listening to Nancy's or anyone else's criticism in a small window. One thing is for sure, while Bush spoke there were no other windows to distract from his message.

Sorry, but I don't see it. If these guys wanted to link 911 and the flags they would just do it directly, not through some subliminal effect. Subtlety is not exactly their forte. But even if they did, big f'ing deal. Its the direct references in his speech that concern me, not the backdrop.

67. It's not subliminal, it's blatant. They are clearly using a cropped
flag when they don't need to. If they used the full size flags on each side the filler part in the middle could just be a column skinnier on each side and voila! No need for cropping.

The subliminal message were bush*s words, the set is out in the open.

77. Sometimes Subliminal is more effective than direct.
You have to catch subliminal and sometimes you will not, in the meantime the subtle message has been implanted in your subconsious. I think everyone agrees that his speech said nothing new. It was just subliminal marketing.

46. Interesting.... just had a book cross my desk on how
advertisers embed sexual messages into pictures. Not sure if it works, but it's subversive, nonetheless and it's being done to affect the unconcious mind with messages about things that are too disturbing/dirty for the conscious brain. These ghouls use neuro-linguistic programming on us all the time. Thom Hartmann has articles on it and has discussed it on his show. I sent him this link. If anyone can talk with authority on this subject, it is Thom.

Could you also do an overlay on the Giant 9 in the center section between the large flags (the little white circles -start at the lower left circle and go up diagonally to the right and then the circle portion) and the 2 white stripes that run the length of the flag on the right?

And why is it that only the good presidents are shot at? hmmm. this scares me cause bush is the best president of all time and also the closest to god, and all people that close to god, like heracles and julius caesar and jesus christ are murdered and rise like a new-forming cloud up into the sky of heaven to hang out, eternally, with good-buddy god. i don't want bush to die. he is awesome. he gave freedom to the world. so what, we lost a bit of liberty. you, believe security > liberty, or else go directly to jail. murder is always wrong. criminals need to see their wrongs righted on earth. they need to see love, and hope, and then want them and not be able to get them, and then, we need to give them to them and let them love us, or something. it is better than nothingness. And in the second case, in which bush is the worst president of all time, well, at least he won't actually be shot, but methinks this duck has already been shot lame.

go quack quack you f-ing liar.

68. I couldn't figure why he cropped it.
Its like he didn't want to recognize the entire country or something. I do see the 911 now that its been pointed out.

I think the whole thing could get more traction if we just said cropping the flag is unpatriotic. It is obvious they did that, but the subliminal thing is much harder to prove.

78. Fear is the answer.
They believe that if they can keep Americans afraid, that this will translate to more votes for Republicans. I believe that this type of thinking is going the way of the "liberal media myth", Americans are wising up as to which party, national security will be best served by and it is not the Republicans. Support our troops and vote Democrat.

83. You know, I initially thought this was bullshit....
..but the closer I looked, especially in the highlights that have been playing in the media, it looked VERY deliberately to me to be exactly as is suggested here....

Absolutely despicable..
