Anonymous Coward User ID: 541005 United States 11/05/2008 01:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Black and red bisected symbolism Quoting: Anonymous Coward 540449The red-and-black flag is the symbol of the anarcho-syndicalist and anarcho-communist movements. Black is the traditional color of anarchism, and red is the traditional color of socialism. The red-and-black flag combines the two colors in equal parts, with a simple diagonal split. Typically, the red section is placed on the top-left corner, with the black on the bottom-right corner of the flag. This symbolizes the co-existence of anarchist and socialist ideals within the anarcho-syndicalism movement, and to symbolize the more socialistic means of the movement leading to a more anarchistic end. The CNT-FAI's version of the red-and-black flagOne of the most famous variations of the anarcho-syndicalist flag is that of Spain's Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (National Confederation of Labor, CNT), which still exists today. The CNT, along with the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (Iberian Anarchist Federation, FAI), a major militant faction within the CNT, was a major player in the popular anarchist movements in Spain of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This group has its own version of the red-and-black flag with its initials on the flag. CNT is in the red, while FAI is in the black – the color of anarchy – as the FAI was founded in 1927 to keep the CNT dedicated to anarchist principles. Black and Red Africa - Zabalaza Federation's logoAnother variation on the red-and-black theme is the red-and-black Africa used mostly by the Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Federation (ZACF or ZabFed), a federation of anarchist groups in South Africa. ZabFed was inspired by the Organisational Platform of the Libertarian Communists. ZabFed members share a basic agreement in terms of theoretical and tactical unity, collective responsibility, and federalism as suggests by the Platform. In historical terms the Platformist tradition starts with The Organizational Platform of the Libertarian Communists, and in the post-war period many include documents like the Georges Fontenis' pamphlet Manifesto of Libertarian Communism. The symbolism of a united Africa, displayed in traditional anarchist communist colours, is an important one, as a mixture of different demographic groups are represented by Zalabaza in the midst of a societal environment that is otherwise tense with post-colonial racial and sexual issues.

Lots of big awkward flowers at the neckline or weird mixes (like a cotton turtleneck under a dressy suit!) She obviously needs a stylist. I hate to think of the fodder this will give all the grocery store rags and the focus needs to be on what Obama is doing not, not his wife's bad taste. |

Not boring like the GOP. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 487325Really! I agree. Most people wear black when they are in mourning. It must have been a bittersweet win not having someone important to him to see him win. I'm sure he's sorry he didn't dress in something more cheery to please all the dooms day fashion police. I'm no a big fan of her dress, but I'm sure she cose it because she thought it looked nice, not because she was sending some message out to the doom community. |

I agree it doesn't have any sinister meaning, just wasn't a good choice and didn't show well. And certainly not a dress I associated with mourning! If my husband were running for the highest office in the land, I would go for understated and classy; even more so if we were in mourning. And people discussing her clothes has nothing to do with race or party affiliation. It is tradition for the First Lady to be looked to as an icon of fashion dos or don'ts. Michelle has made a few nice choices, but overall has a frumpy style that tends toward the garrish and overdone. Incidentally, I did check out McCain's concession photos and their ensembles were all well coordinated and looked very nice together - all golds and blues. Too bad Obama's team didn't go for a red, white and bright blue that mirrored his slogan. Michelle would look lovely in bright blue. |

wheee (OP) User ID: 528896 United States 11/05/2008 04:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm very happy to see that most people understood that there was more to the dress than just poor taste in fashion. In the occult world, colors have meaning as do dates. So I have to admit, I get a really big laugh out of all the posters here who are constantly saying time is an illusion, but then go onto calculate 911 theories etc... Time is a measurement that does exist, but is experienced differently in different planes....realities...continueances Anyway, foreshadowing and double meanings are commonly used by the illuminati and those supporting the luceferic powers. Keeping this in mind it makes sense that she would foreshadow (present) herself as a potential 'black widow' to a man who will soon be officially sworn in as the US President. The message??? I will leave it for you to decide...however, I truly believe there are 2 messages that were conveyed - both are statements of who she is. Lime green - is a luciferic color used to invoke demons, btw. Also, for those who are saying I'm making too much of the dress, this is a conspiracy forum, haven't you noticed? |

You're right, for those of us that come from LatinAmerica, this symbolism is well known and frequently seen in events organized by labor organizations. This was the first thing that I thought when I saw the whole family elect in red and black Bill Ayers is a classical anarchist and the coincidence is difficult to ignore. Also black theology liberation has red black and green as their flag. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 487325 United States 11/05/2008 08:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That rather sad, muffled noise you hear behind the whoops and cheers of Democrat America is not the sound of defeated neocons mourning the passing of trickle-down economics; it is the sound of sobbing in the Élysée Palace. For Carla Bruni, reigning queen of First Ladies, the game is finally up. Cindy McCain would have been a push-over; even Sarah Palin she could have coped with, sexy specs or otherwise. But in Michelle Obama, Ms Bruni has truly met her match. This is a First Lady like none before. |
