• Rainbow Flag

    Isn't the rainbow flag supposed to represent peace? I walked by a hospital today and they had put up a rainbow flag, and my first was reaction was `Oh no! We are at war! And I didn't even get a notification.' In Europe during the second Gulf War, I remember people would have the rainbow flags in their windows to encourage peace. Probably they didnt do that in the US.

    And then I remembered, "oh no, in North America it means `I'm gay.'"

    Then I was thinking, did the spooks hijack the rainbow flag so people would forget it means peace? Did it never mean peace in North America?

    I dont believe it ever meant peace.


    If we look all the way back to Sumerian times it was the symbol of the goddess Ishtar, who was said to be the god of love, fertility, and sexuality. Ishtar was one of the three main gods of the day, the other two being Baal and Moloch. Ishtar is said to have been both male and female, freely transitioning between the two.

    Now if you are inclined to give credence to the old gods, we?re able to look at a few critical moments in American history a little differently.

    The rainbow flag scene became much more prominent after the stonewall riots.

    Taken from CBN:

    ??Stonewall ? The goddess to modern culture returned in a way no other event had on June of 1969. The police raided a gay bar of Greenwich in New York City. Two hundred people were at the bar. Police began loadi some of the people at the raid into a van. During one of the arrests something took hold of the crowd who began taunting the police officers and hurling objects at them. It became so dangerous the police had to retreat into the bar fearing for their lives. The crowd even tried to charge the bar to get to the officers until help arrived. ?The Stonewall riots? continued for days. What happened that night went beyond the human realm. Some important signs: A bar down from the bar was called the Lion?s Head ? the same sign that in ancient times, represented the power of the goddess as she entered war. Also, on that night despite the fighting several began performing a dance ? the Dance of Ishtar. ??

    Supreme court ? It is no accident that Pride Month is in June. The goddess?s entrance and inauguration of her resurrected movement at Stonewall took place at the exact time ordained by the Mesopotamian calendar and the ancient mystery. The observations, celebrations, and Pride Parades were held around the end of June which was typically within a week or days from the summer solstice, the time of pagan celebration. Aside from Stonewall opening an ancient door there are three landmark cases in the United States Supreme Court which opened other doors: (1) The first door ? legalization of homosexuality which happened in the summer ? in the month of June; (2) The second door ? overturning the defense of marriage took place on June 26, 2003 and (3) The third door ? overturning of marriage which legalized same sex marriage across America took place toward the end of June.
    Rainbow ? on the night that marriage was stuck down the sign of the goddess ? the rainbow ? lit up the Empire State Building, the waters of Niagara Falls, and the White House (the house which governs America). The power of metamorphosis belonged to Ishtar where she could transform a man into a woman and a woman into a man. She changed our nation?s priorities, values, and desires. ?What the culture once rejected, it would now accept; and what it once accepted, it would now reject,???

    If you have the chance and the ability or want to see more based on some pretty solid research, the book ?Return of the Gods? by Jonathan Cahn really makes a solid case for how the rainbow flag and the movement as a whole came to be what it is.

    Yeah, homosexuality used to be labeled as a "mental illness" in the DSM-3 or the DSM-4/ They never came to the conclusion that homosexuality was at all healthy, rather it was due to a lot of political lobbying and militant actions against the umbrella organizations that supervise the health care professions that got so fed up with the constant railing against them that they just let it be removed completely from the Diagnostics and Statistics Manual. Apparently if you make enough of a fuss about something you can change the world, not due to winning an argument but rather just being so freakin' annoying that the enemy eventually gives in and lets you call yourself a non-issue.

    Strange world indeed.

    Cheers!
