Products are made in factories, but brands are processed in the mind. A remarkable feat of the government’s Covid-19 response in March 2020 was the readily produced slogans (such as ‘hands, face, space’) and other messaging. Initially the colours were red and yellow, signifying an emergency, but later the colour scheme changed. The constant barrage of marketing for the booster injections in late 2020 depicted a human figure with two protective coverings: one blue, one yellow.
Are our minds being washed on a colour programme?
As the official policy changed in 2023 to ‘living with Covid’, a new crisis erupted. The war in Ukraine became the new priority, with Western nations spending vast sums of public money on weapons and aid to the country invaded by Russian forces. The Ukrainian flag is half yellow and half blue, and it is flown from civic buildings and used as an icon by social media users to show their solidarity.
This may seem coincidental, but the more you see the ubiquity, the less you’ll believe that colours for officially approved causes are randomly chosen. Almost everything deemed progressive is now presented in this secular tone.
The European Union, bringing together countries of distinct heritage and customs under one concrete roof in Brussels, was one of the first to use this supposedly harmonious combination of yellow and mid-blue, contrasting with the stronger shades of French and British patriotism. Perhaps the EU architects were influenced by the nice flag of the perpetually neutral, liberal Sweden.
Among the latest applications are in a spate of ‘World Days’ for various diseases and disabilities, from arthritis to Down’s syndrome, each bearing a ribbon with one strand yellow and the other blue.
For colour coding to work, there must be a counter colour. Eschewed are the red, white and blue of imperialism: the British Empire, the Stars and Stripes, the French tricouleur (increasingly associated with traditionalists such as the Gilets Jaunes), and the nasty Russian bear. Notably, the Scottish saltire has been lightened under SNP rule, clearly distinguishing it from its representation in the union flag.
Red and black are regarded as the colours of fascism, but are also used by the supposedly polar opposite of Antifa. It is interesting that the original crest of the Rothschild banking family was red and black (literally, the name means red shield), but in the nineteenth century yellow and blue were used for the coat of arms (as appearing on champagne labels). The Rothschilds bought the first football club in Austria, First Vienna, who played in blue and yellow. The Freemasons also use these colours for their insignia.
Conspiracy theories abound, but it would not be surprising if globalists want people to identify with the new world order that they are creating.
In George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four the Western nations were unified into a sprawling region named Oceania, with alternating enemies of Eurasia (Russia) and Eastasia (China). Are we being primed for our new citizenship? Perhaps we are already living in Oceania.
Sacre bleu et jaune!
