I don't know what to make of this image:

Which appears on the bbc's world news pages:
news.bbc.co.uk...

The missing arm of the swastika would seem to pass through Germany, although the map is so warped, it is hard to tell. The regions which the BBC divides up the world in order to accommodate this design is very odd: Europe is extended to mid-Asia; the whole of China, plus half of Russia and Australia is designated Asia Pacific; The Middle East is extended to cover North Africa although Turkey appears to be placed in Europe; India is sectioned off as South Asia; and the whole of North and South America is partitioned off to one side as the Americas.
Not sure what to make of it. Any thoughts? Another event that is taking place right now is how people in europe is getting to know "new" words and meaning such as : "one world" "new world" "one people" etc this is not a new phenomenan, but is mentiond more often by every day that passed.
Is it just me thinking or is there other thinking the same thing?

thats a cool find... i think it could go either way... there is always the possibility of a designer just doing his or her thing and coming up with a cool map... but then everything the bbc puts out seems to be carefully planned out propaganda... sooo hmm... i wish we'd just get it over with

Its simply a map to indicate which parts of the world are covered in which news sections. Its been there for years. About as strange and unusual as a squirrel eating an acorn.

I don't see a real Swastika (but a semblance at crucial points nevertherless).
As a picture I see a stick-man like depiction of a horned figure, showing a "Sieg Heil!" salute, or pointing to the right.

Note that on the left shoulder (heart?) of my rather square "horned man" is a kind of badge, or smaller square which converges over Israel and Jerusalem.
Not sure what it means, but even in media that tiny sliver of land dominates over news in many other and huge territories.
Well, to an older generation used to 1980s' computer graphics, that is a horned figure pointing straight to the right.

It is simply to keep things orderly and to save page space.
My buddies wife having seen some maps of the US, as well as growing up in the US did not understand why we could not drive from Alaska to Hawaii if they were so closely placed together, surely there must be a bridge she said.

Is this what you were talking about in the OP -

Yeah it's a strange find, i wonder whether it's accidental or more sinister?

Anyone else notice the centre of the 3/4 Swastika is centered over Iran???

Thank you.
Duly noted.
Iran is seemingly also one of the converging points!!!

I edited the above post and added your image.


If you wanna embed, all you need to do is save the image to your desktop or drive etc.

Then goto ATS tools/pictures ( sign in ) and personal upload.

Once the image is uploaded, copy and then paste the embed image url to the thread or reply - eg:

[ atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/b8d97ca67c84.jpg[/atsimg ]





Hope that helps


Once you do it a couple of times it's easy and pretty quick.

If you draw a cross no matter for what reason and you need to go a 90 degree right or left for a certain reason at the end of each line you can not escape drawing a swastika of some sort. What is that difficult word for seeing faces in everything again? Well.....with all respect....maybe there is a word for seeing swastikas in everything...

This is the perfect example of why we need a thread kill button on ATS not just a forum kill button.
HOAX/TROLL

This is not hoaxing or trolling as long as the OP believes what he post. This is ill and sad, like the other 80% on ATS. I fear we all go nuts, and the most crazy people call the less healthy insane at the end. Until they can't tie one's shoes...

I find it very interesting that you critisize the OP for this thread....

Did you ever find that link between Davinci's machines and UFO's.......
