No, and it’s disgusting, not to mention infuriating!

The eight-sided star polygon has esoteric, occulted meaning.

The New World Order is about uniformity and conformity. Sameness.

When you want to turn the world's population into obedient cyborgs, you create an environment free of creative thought and images, while at the same time conveying your belief system.

The Star of Ishtar or Star of Inanna is a Mesopotamian symbol of the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna and her East Semitic counterpart Ishtar. The owl* was also one of Ishtar's primary symbols. Ishtar is mostly associated with the planet Venus, which is also known as the morning star.


------------------------

Lucifer is the Latin name for the morning appearances of the planet Venus. It corresponds to the Greek names Phosphorus Φωσφόρος, "light-bringer", and Eosphorus Ἑωσφόρος, "dawn-bringer". The entity's Latin name was subsequently absorbed into Christianity as a name for the devil. Modern scholarship generally translates the term in the relevant Bible passage (Isaiah 14:12), where the Greek Septuagint reads ὁ ἑωσφόρος ὁ πρωὶ, as “morning star“ or "shining one" rather than as a proper noun, Lucifer, as found in the Latin Vulgate.

Eight-sided star polygon -> Star of Ishtar -> Venus -> Morrning Star -> Lucifer


* The owl was chosen as a symbol of the Bavarian Illuminati.

Is the South Carolina flag Islamic?

There is nothing Islamic in the design. The crescent is not a moon, it is a gorget, a “the silver emblem worn on the caps of South Carolina troops during the revolutionary war”.

It’s really sad how the upper middle west has been infected with the woke virus. I feel bad for the normals who live there.

Fingers crossed Mississippi, you may not have the ugliest flag in America if this passes.

Hybrid Cuban and Somali flag. Two of the worst political systems in the history of humanity. Islam and communism. What can go wrong?

That's not the flag of Somalia proper, which reminds me of something else.

I can’t imagine Minnesota regiments fighting at Gettysburg rallying to this banner. The muted earth tones reminds me of the days of shag carpet and leisure suits when bland earth tones reined supreme. It’s a flag and you need vibrant colors not blah. Interestingly the flag also has passing resemblance to the Palestinian flag, though at least the Palestinians went with bright colors. The redesign of the state seal is tolerable so why not just put the new seal on the blue bedsheet and call it good? Some of us in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota felt a red banner with the star and the hammer and sickle logo might be more in keeping with the direction the state is heading.

Over three years and after watching the leftism / marxism of the DFL, it does not surprise me. OTOH, it does impress me that there are no more stupid people than those in Minnesota.
