Is it me, or is the NATO flag a swastika?

I see a vagina.

Oh wait, this isn't supposed to be a Rorschach test, is it?

Never mind

:roll:

There are many variations of the swastika.

The Compass Rose isnt one of them
 
I fail to see the significance the compass rose has on military might.

The symbolism isnt about military might. Its about unity, and peace.
"Description
The flag of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has a navy blue field charged with a white compass rose emblem from which radiate four white lines.
Symbolism
The circle represents unity and cooperation, and the compass rose, the common path towards peace upon which the member states have pledged. Dark blue symbolises the Atlantic Ocean.
Dimensions
The flag is four parts in length by three parts in width.

Not some secret nazi conspiracy.

And yet, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is a military alliance. Without a conflict, NATO has no reason to exist. Furthermore, the compass rose has absolutely nothing to do with "unity" or peace", let alone military aggression.

The ancient Greeks originally maintained distinct and separate systems of points and winds. The four Greek cardinal points (arctos, anatole, mesembria and dusis) were based on celestial bodies and used for orientation. The four Greek winds (Boreas, Notos, Eurus, Zephyrus) were confined to meteorology. Nonetheless, both systems were gradually conflated, and wind names came to eventually denote cardinal directions as well.[7]

In his meteorological studies, Aristotle identified ten distinct winds: two north-south winds (Aparctias, Notos) and four sets of east-west winds blowing from different latitudes—the Arctic circle (Meses, Thrascias), the summer solstice horizon (Caecias, Argestes), the equinox (Apeliotes, Zephyrus) and the winter solstice (Eurus, Lips). However, Aristotle's system was asymmetric. To restore balance, Timosthenes of Rhodes added two more winds to produce the classical 12-wind rose, and began using the winds to denote geographical direction in navigation. Eratosthenes deducted two winds from Aristotle's system, to produce the classical 8-wind rose.

Why do you think NATO keeps expanding eastward, into Russia's backyard? I remember a certain dictator who staged a false-flag in order to give himself more powers by using the "Communist threat" as a scapegoat. Hmmmmm...

Why would a massive and international organization based around military superiority and intimidation use something as seemingly harmless and insignificant as a "compass rose"? Only if it were hiding something.

Yea its a military alliance. An alliance they claim is for peace, and we can disagree with that all we want, but ITS A SYMBOL. Its used to symbolize what they claim is their purpose is. This does not mean its a hidden swatstika ...

It actually appears to be two Swastikas. Now tell me, is it ironic that there are Ukrainian neo-nazis behind the coup, or the fact that the anti-Russian rhetoric has pissed Putin off to the point that he's been actively aiding them in their rise to power throughout Europe?

Another reason for changing the name of this part of the forum from "conspiracy theories" to "wacky conspiracy theories", or simply WCT for short.

But, on second thought, that would be a redundancy, wouldn't it?
 

The industrial revolution started in Britain. No Jews were involved. Read a history book. You mentioned the ancestors of the industrialists. They were mostly Anglo Saxon Norman French.

Allow me to continue where I left off a few posts earlier. Hitler and the Nazis, like the rest of the German political/military far-right of the time (1870-1940) believed in the German right fantasy of "Drang Nach Osten" (the Drive "Migration" to the East). In the 1300's, the German Teutonic Knights had, by wa,r taken Prussia to the east of Germany from Poland. In the 1700's, German Prussia had become a top European power, wiping out the rest of Poland and then uniting Germany (1870) under Prussian military rule.

Hitler and these people in the 1920's-30's saw themselves as going back to the German Prussian military rulers of Germany that lost WWI (1919) and even further back to the German Teutonic Knights of the 1300's. In the German military/right wing fantasy published in magazines like 'Ostara' and hate propaganda (1920's-30's) they said the military dictatorship of German Prussia would come back as part of the new Nazi state, have all Poland and western Russia. And this time so Poland and Russia would never exist again... all of their populations would be made inferior slaves or exterminated.

The Slavic people of Poland and Russia were hated and targeted because they were living "in the way" of this fantasy being made reality... where once a "Greater Germany" was all resettled on the bodies of what had been Poland and Russia with all new "pure Germans",Germany would stretch to be all of what is today: Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, European Russia... And with such a huge nation they would finally be able to beat Britain and at long last wipe out the US to rule the whole world in a "1000 Year Reich", getting 'rid' of the Poles, the Jews (who mostly lived with the Poles) and the Russians, which was the 1st step in carrying out this plan.

Yep I know it sounds crazy, but the Nazis, Hitler/German military really believed it. They made up that stuff about hating Russians because Russia had gone communist as an excuse, hoping the other powers would let them murder all the Poles, Russians, Jews in peace for "Drang nach Osten", the "Greater Germany" and their imagined 1000 year Reich.

The Teutonic Order, and those that founded them, were actually those whom the big banker and industrialist families of Europe, namely the Rothschilds, descended from. After the fall of Nazi Germany, and Operation Paperclip, "ex"-Nazis were indeed incorporated into the folds of the CIA, NASA, and other organizations. ODESSA and the Paladin Group, the latter of which... was founded by Otto Skorzeny.

In 1952, when the country had been taken over by General Mohammed Naguib, Skorzeny was sent to Egypt the following year by former General Reinhard Gehlen (who was now working for the CIA) to act as Naguib's military advisor. Skorzeny recruited a staff made up of former SS and Wehrmacht officers to train the Egyptian army. Among these officers were SS General Wilhelm Farmbacher, Panzer General Oskar Munzel, Leopold Gleim, head of the Gestapo Department for Jewish Affairs in Poland, and Joachim Daemling, former chief of the Gestapo in Düsseldorf. In addition to training the army, Skorzeny also trained Arab volunteers in commando tactics for possible use against British troops stationed in the Suez Canal zone. Several Palestinian refugees also received commando training, and Skorzeny planned their raids into Israel via the Gaza Strip in 1953-1954. One of these Palestinians was Yasser Arafat.[26] He would eventually serve as an adviser to Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.[27]

Skorzeny later provided intelligence to Mossad on ex-Nazi scientists working for the Egyptian government. Skorzeny agreed to cooperate with Israel on condition that Simon Wiesenthal erase his name from the list of wanted Nazi war criminals and act to have an arrest warrant against him cancelled. Though Wiesenthal rejected this request, Skorzeny decided in the end to cooperate with Mossad anyway.

Just you...or just you and people thinking like you are.

I see no swastikas.

There, I even outlined it for you. :)

LMAO

Well I'll be damned.

Yeah, when you outline it it sure enough does look like a swastika.

That said, I still don't see any relation between the Nazi Hakenkruez and the swastika-ish shape formed as a result of trying to "raise" in a stylized three-dimensional fashion the four intersecting isosceles triangles of the NATO compass rose.

When someone proves he is right I'll tell them him he's right, and there's no denying that there's a swastika there.

But the swastika is not the Hakenkruez.

In order to claim that there's some neo-Nazi or other fascist/national socialist significance behind it, and that it isn't just a complete coincidence, I'd also need to see proof of that.

Absent such proof it's just an interesting coincidence.
 

Wait... "The Rothschilds are not "Jews", they are Germanic."

Prior to the 1930s there were no Germanic Jews?

The Rothschild family is a highly wealthy family descending from Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a court Jew to the German Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel, in the Free City of Frankfurt, who established his banking business in the 1760s
