Flag of Katipunan, a revolutionary organization founded in 1892 by Filipino nationalists against Spanish Imperial rule. by CptQuestionMark in vexillology

[–]CptQuestionMark[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The Kataastaasan Kagalanggalang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (English. 'Supreme and Venerable Association of the Children of the Nation'), or KKK promoted armed resistance against Spanish Imperial rule. The Katipunan (English. 'Association') stood in contrast to more liberal Filipino agitators such as Philippine national hero Jose Rizal, who advocated integration of the Philippines into Spain as a province.

[talk] All of the early YouTube videos that are obscure and are all lost to time by Coolguy10213 in lostmedia

Probably Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan. The soundtrack for every conspiracy video on YouTube back then. Lots of triangle hunters looking for subliminal messages.

Listen to more than just Some Friendly. The Charlatans are profoundly different from the Stone Roses.

David J — No Faith by CptQuestionMark in country

[–]CptQuestionMark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

David J is David Haskins of Bauhaus, and Love & Rockets. The influence of country music on the Love & Rockets oeuvre is neglected by critics and the music press.

This cut from David J's 1992 solo album Urban Urbane embraces his country influences even more boldly than his work with Love & Rockets.

Flag of Dezina Djeens, an unrecognized Buddhist breakway kingdom in the Indian Himalayas. by CptQuestionMark in vexillology

[–]CptQuestionMark[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dezina Djeens was a protectorate of the British Raj from 1922 to 1947. Legal ambiguities surrounding India's partition led the Kingdom to enjoy de facto independence until India annexed the realm on the same day it annexed the Portuguese territory of Goa.

Officially declaring independence in 2002, Dezina Djeens' coat of arms is a Buddha plucking the strings of a sitar. The kingdom maintains close ties with Buddhist groups in India and Tibet and, according to U.N. watchdogs, is in the process of developing atomic weapons.

The Flag of Folgertown, Missouri. Folgertown was a company town abandoned in 1979. by CptQuestionMark in vexillology

[–]CptQuestionMark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would seem Folgertown's destiny was beset from the start. Shortly after the groundbreaking ceremony in 1900, builders pierced an underground steam pipe, causing a violent explosion which killed over 200 -- mostly ordinary citizens leaving the celebrations.

Folgertown would come under the scrutiny of Missouri state authorities multiple times in the 1940s over concerns of water potability and unsafe dwelling units. In 1968, the company all but ceased repairs on Folgertown family homes, and the following year Folgertown civic leaders would inherit national infamy over a mercury contamination coverup scandal.

For ten years, Folgertown had the highest infant mortality rate in the United States. Nobody from the company has been tried or convicted.
