For the confused - I am a follower of Christ who taught love your enemy, do goo to those who hate you, to his disciples he said, "put away your weapons, my kingdom is not of "the nationalist systems" of this world". I am not a part with nationalist Israel, which is what the OT is about - I follow Christ and the new Covenant.

[we have much the same basis to our laws the govt is like a ships captain at sea telling us shanghied into their system...what to do and when to jump [where we can smoke.. when we can pay tax.. when we can go to war to die] think of it...in court you stand in the dock you need a leave pass to pass a port..[a passport] we are accorded the standing of landed goods [we have a berthing certification..[birth-certificate] we need licence[permissions]...to do that otherwise unlawfull its funny how the dots join see the prince at his wed-ding dressed in what..an army uniform a redcoat uniform.. not only is he the future commander in chief and the armed forces sworn to protect the crown [ie the royal; estates..crown land..crown law] he will soon be the pope of the anglican/church how much more evidence do we need we got xtian 'values...but under the heel of armed force's thing is next year...2012 things change..this is the year when the christ returns to lord it over us read the announcement..[previous posts.. and the last] that will be the first http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=4434&page=0 the demcratic christ elect* instead of the 'house of'.. the sainted..'lords'..a leaping leaping all over traditional xtian values Posted by one under god, Monday, 2 May 2011 7:25:26 AM

UOG,
That red cross on a white background is the cross of St George, as the union Jack represents the crosses of St Patrick - Ireland, St Andrew - Scotland and St George - England. The three form the union of the three original countries. Posted by Philo, Monday, 2 May 2011 7:58:10 PM

[a colony..under british/navy flag] just like nz just like arround 10 others that have the same blue tie-job with the brit union flag..on the royal navy ensin thus under navy law.. [admiralty law..the law of trade] the values we got are the values of a niave shanghied navvie wearing his royal dickey arround his neck made to walk the plank at the captains..[of industries]..leisure beg for licence beg for leave opresent your berthing certification we emerged form the waters[our mothers waters] landed...got issued with a berthing certification its not xtian..[xtians walk upon the waters..not sail upon the seas] but how do we tell people their all in the navy all army brats [why ya think govt can con-ascripts us at will?] and charges us with deneying court 'orders' Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 6:34:31 AM

Just to complete the picture, one under god, the flag you linked to is the White Ensign. It is the flag of the Royal Navy
The Blue ensign is (surprise) blue, without the cross, i.e. just with the Union flag in the top corner, and is flown when a seagoing vessel is under the command of a master of the rank of Lieutenant RN, or above, of the Royal Naval Reserves. So you might find a Blue Ensign flown by yachties, as well as merchant navy ships. But never the Royal Navy. This is the one that has the stars added to it to make the Australian (and NZ) flag, not the White Ensign. The Red Ensign - the Red Duster - is like the Blue Ensign (only red, of course) and is flown on all other British vessels, and as a courtesy flag by visiting ships.

thanks pericules..for your wisdoms
""This is the one that has the stars added to it to make the Australian (and NZ) flag"" ""and is flown when a seagoing vessel is under the command of a master of the rank of Lieutenant RN,..*or above,"" so the gg who commands the armed forces should have authority to fly it..thus his or her COMMISION would make interesting reading to see if he/she...is""of the Royal Naval Reserves."" how many female gov generals were woman... by what authority did woman get the right to join the navy..[the australia 'act'?] anyhow curious..and curiouser ""So you might find a Blue Ensign flown by yachties,"" such as charles uncle? ""as well as merchant navy ships"" again the merchant thing. ""But never the Royal Navy..."" any citations? Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 1:14:07 PM
