Fringe On The U.S. Flag What Does It Mean? Admiralty Courts in Colorado?

Patriots are subjected to much ridicule when they object to [Admiralty flag] the flag that appears in every government office and courtroom in the land. That flag is the United States flag... with one seemingly minor cosmetic difference - a knotted golden fringe on three sides.

Government officials and judges adamantly refuse requests to remove the gold fringed flag and replace it with the constitutional flag of the United States as defined in 4 U.S.C. Section 1,2, and 3 - which has NO fringe.

Why should anyone be concerned about this apparently innocent decorative feature? What difference does it make?

The difference is that the flag that is displayed is legal notice, to all who enter, of the type of law that holds jurisdiction. The constitutional United States flag signifies common law jurisdiction.

The gold fringed United States flag is the Admiralty or War flag which denotes Admiralty or martial law.

Hogwash, you say? Is there no Admiralty Court claiming jurisdiction in America except in matters that occur on the high seas? Think again! Just as the founders of this country railed against the King for extending Admiralty law to the lands of the Colonies, so are those few patriots who have paid attention to the corruption of our legal system, raising a hue and a cry over the current usurpers of jurisprudence.

Rocky Mountain News Wed. May 22, 1996 Legal Notices Section The legal notices here displayed concern property seized by Federal agents as booty under Admiralty law. Notice is required so that anyone who might have an interest in the property seized has opportunity to seek to protect his interest.

One would not be wise to attempt this, though. Most likely, any excuse will be used to allege that the party claiming interest in the property was a party to the alleged offense that resulted in the original seizure.

The allegation is enough to justify the taking of property - under Admiralty law guilt is presumed. The claimant might well lose other property not yet in the hands of these landgoing pirates, even though no actual conviction of any offense is ever entered. Check your local paper's legal notices. Look into the cases cited and see if any conviction occurs - or if any charges were even filed - against the persons whose property was seized.

Colorado is a long ways from the ocean. Admiralty law is farther still from the common law recognized under Federal and State constitutions.

You decide... are these patriots kooks? Or have we been blind to the tyranny that is even now upon us?

More Evidence on the Flag Issue Our official courts today are all operating under admiralty jurisdiction, except the court of Claims in Washington D.C. which remains under the common law...You can easily identify an admiralty court by noting the presence of a gold fringed flag in the court room. This is a military flag which denotes admiralty jurisdiction within that court... " Sizes and Ocassions for Display

National flags listed below are for indoor display and for use in ceremonies and parades. For these purposes the United States flag will be rayon banner cloth, trimmed on three sides with golden fringe, 2.5 inches wide. It will be the same size as the flags displayed or carried with it.

There was some speculation during the klintoon administration debacle, that he would try to do something really out of line, using the Admiralty Law, and the gold trimmed flag, because Admiralty Law was one of his specialties when he was a Law Professor???? He did do some stupid things, but I don't think Admiralty Law had any thing to do with it, it was some other law of nature or something?

...the old "We are living under martial law because the US flag has fringe" conspiracy theory has bobbed to the surface again.

I can almost hear Agent Maxwell Smart saying that.

[Doctor Stochastic]

It's left over from a surrey top.

What is the origin of this particular conspiracy theory? It seemed to crop up in the 1980s in Posse Comitatus circles and ramped up in the first Clinton administration along with the black helicopters and the Red Chinese armies massing in Mexico theories. But the other two conspiracy theories can be explained.There were actually "black" (really dark olive) helicopters used by the Army in the 1990s. Foreign invaders infiltrating into Mexico is an old scare story, perhaps left over from the Civil War, when the French under Napoleon III took advantage the turmoil in the U.S. to conquer our southern neighbor. During World War I, rumors abounded that the Kaiser was massing the Wehrmacht in Sonora and Chihuahua.

However, the origins of the "gold fringe" conspiracy theory are unknown to me.

Thanks...great site.

My reason for this post is that I went to my 12 y/o's Christmas (no, sorry), er Holiday (nope, not that either) uhh...Winter Concert (yeah, that's it) at her middle school last night and there was a fringed flag there.

When gold fringes appear on flags in a given location, it's a signal to the municipality to pump extra fluoride into the water supply. Before you know it, citizens' precious bodily fluids are sapped and the Reds are that much closer to world domination.

A while back there was a FReeper named Michael Rivero who had lots and lots to say about Admiralty Flags, among other things.

Rivero - now there's a blast from the past. He was claiming that the government orchestrated the events of 9/11/2001 even before the second tower fell in NYC. That was his last day on FR.

There's a fascinating case study and subsequent novelized adaption waiting in Rivero for some enterprising psychoanalyst.

[Pharmboy]

Oh I remember him--got into it real good with Michael a few times on these boards.

LOL! Now where DID I leave that shoe phone?

This whole subject is the perview of militia nutcases. It gets discussed at length by people who had traumatic toilet training episodes.

[ChefKeith]

the kook stigma that "grassy knoll" does.

So does this mean that you believe in the "majic bullet" theory?

[Arkinsaw]

This is kind of silly, since if there were a conspiracy of judges and others they would really have no need to advertise the fact with a gold fringed flag.

The concept here is that, if you take away the gold-fringed flag, the conspirators can no longer commit the conspiracy because it wouldn't be legal.

Conspirators who are conscientious enough only to commit their conspiracy if they have the proper fringe on the flag?

"Dang Judge Roy, we will have to stop conducting unconstitutional activities because our flag ain't the right one! Durn."

That's sort of crazy.

Well said!

If there were such a conspiracy, surely some honest judge would have gone public by now. Roy Moore comes to mind.

[stainlessbanner]

My desk set of flags includes Old Glory, Bonnie Blue, Naval Jack, and the Stainlessbanner (of course). Each have gold fringe.....it's just purty - no conspiracy.

[Strategerist]

This is not THE oddest conspiracy theory, but it does rank fairly high on the scale.

I must confess to not having heard this one before, which surprises me, as I try to keep track of them.

This may compete with "Chemtrails" as the DUMBEST conspiracy theory though.

Thanks for posting this.
