A white flag has symbolized a call for truce or surrender since the Eastern Han dynasty Any combatants under this flag considered themselves safe from attack, although at the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho elders, women, and children under the protection of a nearby fort were slaughtered by drunken US Calvary despite a white flag. Kit Carson, famed pioneer and Indian fighter, harshly criticized the action by saying, " I tell you what, I don't like a hostile red skin any more than you do. And when they are hostile, I've fought 'em, hard as any man. But I never yet drew a bead on a squaw or papoose, and I despise the man who would."
White flags have been ignored throughout history, but this year on July 22 unknown people exchanged the American flags atop the Brooklyn Bridge towers with two white flags. The NYPD and Homeland Security were embarrassed by the failure to protect the bridge after spending billions of dollars to lock-down New York against any threat of terrorism.
Police were equally perplexed by the lack of a letter or manifesto or video explaining the white flag, but promised to prosecute the perpetrators to the fullest measure of Law and Order.
The War of Terror
Fox News preached fear.
Mohammadans were at it again.
I thought the flags were a call for a truce.
The War of Terror versus peace.
Still no one said nothing until today's admission by two German artists.
“We saw the bridge, which was designed by a German, trained in Berlin, who came to America because it was the place to fulfill his dreams, as the most beautiful expression of a great public space. That beauty was what we were trying to capture.”
Their clandestine feat was carried out well past midnight and said according the the Zionist NY Times that when they removed those flags, they ceremonially folded them, “following the United States flag code.”
Mr. Leinkauf, 37, and Mr. Wermke, 35 have pulled off similar stunts without such recognition and I applaud their effort, although they answered the question 'why' with "There is no why?"
A girlfriend had once said that leaving me.
"Sometimes you don't to know why."
I kicked her in the ass.
A brute.
Same as the NYPD will be, if these two artists venture back to NYC
A white flag is a call for peace.
And a call for peace is not nothing.
Time in our time.
Immer, mein jung Berliners.
