10 ~Title 4 Flag Says You're Schwag!

 

Wave that Flag,
Wave it wide and high.
U.S. Blues – The Grateful Dead

 

Every country of this world recognizes the "International law of the flag" treaty and all government offices must by law, display the flag of their jurisdiction. The courts of our great land are equally bound by this international law.

Which flag are they flying, matey?

Let me guarantee you it is not the civilian peacetime flag of the American Union of States, clearly defined in the United States Code at Title 4, section 1, chapter 1.

Any deviation from the dimensions in Title 4 is described as a fraudulent flag in section 3.

 

All government offices display gold-fringed military flags or 3x5 army flags because they are all vessels of the UNITED STATES Corporation.

 

You can't even buy a Title 4 Flag at WAL-MART, only the 3x5 proportion military flags.

 

The proper red, white, and blue Title 4 U.S.C. Section 1, Chapter 1 Civilian American Flag of the unity States of America with no yellow coloring or fringe takes precedence over all other flags because it is the flag of America the Nation, with an organic constitution. It has very specific dimensions that are defined in TITLE 4 of the UNITY-STATES CODE at CHAPTER 1: SECTIONS 1 and 2, it establishes the civilian jurisdiction for all courts in the united States of America, and it presence invokes constitutional authority. This civilian authority is mandated in almost all the State constitutions.

 

TITLE 4 U.S.C.S.

CHAPTER 1

Section 1. - Flag stripes and stars on The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field.
