Symbols of Hate Examined

As Master noted in his illucid commentary on Freemasonry, symbols fall into one of two categories: natural or man made. Master concluded that natural symbols can have multiple meaning, but these meanings must be specific. While all symbols can be deciphered or understood through human reasoning, only man made symbols may have various and incorrect interpretations. This is due to individuals having different personal experiences with and assumptions regarding the objects.
The first symbol we will analyze is the bicephalous eagle. While births of two headed animals are documented, they are such a rarity that we will describe the eagle as "man made" for our purposes. Since the image of Saint George defeating the dragon is incidental the eagle's symbolism, it will not be discussed. Therefore, all the symbols in the first example are man made: the eagle, the crowns, the ribbon, the arrow, and the world with a cross.

Without knowing that the bicephalous eagle represents Constantinople, looking to Europe and to Asia, the interpreter will likely reach an incorrect conclusion. The crowns possibly represent ruling authority and the three crowns may also represent the the three successive Romes; in Italy, in Turkey, and in Russia. The arrow may symbolize military power and the orb with the cross may mean the world conquered for Christ.
The observer must make the mental connection among the symbols of the eagle, the crowns, the arrow, and the orb and what is repugnant to them: Orthodox Christianity or Independence from either the Pope or Mohamed.

The American flag has only one natural element, the star, and because a star has been added when a territory is admitted to the union, we can reasonably conclude that the 50 stars represent the states of the union. We caution the reader that there is no authority on symbols and this is only our interpretation. The alternating bands of red and white total thirteen. Since this is an American flag, we will assume that this represents the original thirteen colonies.
While our interpretation is reasonable regarding the stars and strips, we feel obligated to note that our interpretation of thirteen states have excessive representation on the flag and we know of no reason why these should receive special recognition as traitors to the Crown. We must conclude that the flag is symbolical of, representing, and subtly glorifying, illegal and subversive actions.
The observer must make the mental connection between the symbol of the stars and what is repugnant to them: Independence from the Crown or the spirit of rebellion.

The Nazi battle flag is the third symbol and, like the bicephalous eagle, has no obvious natural symbols and only one man made symbol: the cross. We remind the reader that the swastika is one of dozens of variants of the Christian cross. The white circle can possibly represent the moon and the only Reason the moon would be represented with a cross would be to symbolize the Passover moon of the resurrection. Therefore, we interpret the flag as symbolizing two important events of Christianity: the Passover and the Crucifixion.
To understand why the flag represents Roman Catholicism, specifically, and not Christianity, generally, we remind the reader that the Nazi state persecuted heretics [Jehovah Witnesses and the Polish Church that refused Papal Infallibility and others]. schismatics [Ethiopians, Copts, Russians, Serbians, Ukrainians et al], and other groups that either did not follow Catholic teaching on Natural Law [homosexuals] or opposed the Roman Catholic Church [Freemasonry].
The observer must make the mental connection between the symbol of the cross and the moon and what is repugnant to them: Independence from or denial of Papal Supremacy.

The final flag we will analyze represents the rebellious states of the American Civil war. Like the American flag, there is only one symbol: the star. There are thirteen stars and, as before, we understand these stars to represent the thirteen traitorous colonies. Unlike the American flag, there are no alternating stripes of red and white, therefore, the original lawless states are not over represented.
The observer must make the mental connection between the symbol of the thirteen stars and what is repugnant to them: a failed rebellion from traitorous colonies.
Although the colors in the symbols are natural, we have not attempted to decipher the meanings of these various colors, as the multitude of possible and reasonable interpretations would only lead to confusion, therefore, we omit an analysis of the colors.
We recognize the subjective nature of our attempt to interpret the previous symbols and we encourage the Gentle Reader to analyze the following flags. Our only suggestion is to sort the symbols into natural and manufactured and proceed from there while ignoring colors.
