Blue versus Red

c_man

Do you ever wonder about how blue is nearly always an indicator of power? Look at all the most powerful countries*, all have some blue in their flag. All the big international groupings (NATO, EU, UN) all are blue. Police are near universally associated with the colour blue. Why is that? What aren't we being told? Who really runs things, and why do they use blue as their colour?

*China is the exception, but I fear their massive defiance against blue in their flag means it will all go tits up for them. Think of all the big powers that didn't have blue (Soviets, Nazis etc), they're gone.

USA flag has a lot of red in it.

The French would be exceptionally confused, as would the Dutch

The blue part makes them fight, but the white part convinces the red part to give up.

Blue doesn't symbolise power but, amongst other things, stability, wisdom, truth.

I'm actually annoyed you typed blue vs red and not red vs blue, its always always red vs blue

As the national colour of the Irish state is blue then, by your reasoning, WE run things!

Red vs blue, implies an offensive red posture and a merely defence blue. This is what the blue's have programmed you to think. Break free brother.

The Longford flag is half blue. So there's more blue in it than USA and France flags.

I did hear a rumour that lizard men were taking over Granard though.

That's actually the exact opposite. Red is usually an indicator of power, of standing out and dominating. This is why it's generally been a colour of revolutionaries or particularly aggressive nations and groups.

Blue on the other hand is typically a symbol of stability and harmony.

No, it's you that's got backwards.

The Blue's have got to you. Even inspite of all the evidence I gave in the OP, you still can't see it. Called brainwashing.
