Orange you glad the NYC flag isn't exactly like the French flag?

If it was then people would think something fishy was going on.

Do you mean this flag?

en.wikipedia.org...

Flag of New York City

The flag of New York City is a vertical tricolor of blue, white, and orange charged in the center bar with municipal seal in blue. The tricolor design is taken from the flag of the United Netherlands used in 1625, the year New Amsterdam was settled on the island of Manhattan.

Flag of France

The national flag of France (known in French as drapeau tricolore, drapeau français, and in military parlance, les couleurs) is a tricolour featuring three vertical bands coloured blue (hoist side), white, and red. It is known to English speakers as the French tricolour or simply, the tricolour, although tricolore (in the French pronunciation) is far from unknown.

Not really.

Isn't orange really just a faded red?

Like some old French painting.

Read and comprehend.

Yeah I red but the Netherlands flag has horizontal stripes and the NYC flag is vertical like the French flag. And the Netherlands flag even changed from princely orange to red! Like the French!

No, there is nothing fishy going on. As it's been said, New York City, when it was called New Amsterdam, adopted the then colors of the Netherlands; blue, white, and orange, for their flag. On top of that, France has only used their current flag since 1794—more than a century after New Amsterdam was founded!

(Dutch national sports teams still use blue, white and orange as their colors today.)

Truly vexillologically vexing.

Those others are all horizontal stripes. The French and the NYC flags have vertical stripes. Three vertical stripes. There were three buildings brought down on 9-11. And Frenchman Aymeric Chauprade was fired over his 9-11 conspiracy theory.

Ohhhhhhhhhh I see. So France is the one that is making the statement. They've copied the NYC flag and changed the orange to red so nobody would notice. I wonder why. Especially since red, white and blue are the American colors and France turned it around to blue, white and red. Unless it is meant to be viewed from right to left! Perhaps the French arm of the Rothschilds are attempting a subliminal mind control over New Yorkers.

So, now the 9-11 conspiracy has it's roots back in 1625? Now that is a long planning stage!

The Italian flag has vertical stripes, too. Sometimes Green can look a little blue and orange is just a faded red. Mario and Luigi are in on this as well! We should've listened to Bowser.

There isn't a conspiracy under every rock.

No. They used red and blue because those are the traditional colors of Paris and white because it was the color of the House of Bourbon.

lol...I thought the same thing. I guess the Dutch knew that New Amsterdam would be bought from them, got ticked at the thought, and started planning how they could take down, if ever built, two giant metal buildings, just to get back at the English.

Well, the Dutch were one of the 4 main powers of Europe who undertook the colonization of the rest of the world.

And those 4 powers were successful in dominating the entire globe. Incredibly successful.

The English, French, Spanish, and the Dutch.

By researching the histories of these nations you will also find that DESPITE their wars vs each other, that there is a common pattern to be found. And that all four empires were in fact just sections of a larger global empire scheme.

Essentially the Vatican holds power over these empires, even today in the modern age. There is virtually tons of legit information indicating this is a fact, and most of it comes from the Vatican or other National libraries in the first place.

What language is on the seal of the Flag of NYC???

LATIN? And what is the ONLY nation in the world that has LATIN as it's official language even today??

The Vatican.

See it all traces back to the Vatican. IT ALWAYS DOES!
