Once seen, it cannot be unseen: the ubiquitous mid-blue on the flags and other insignia of officially favoured causes. Arguably, this soft, moderate colour is so prominent in Western society to suggest a deliberate effort to unite people on a simplistic dichotomy of good versus bad. Almost everything deemed progressive is 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 tone, in contrast with the stronger shades of patriotic nations such as France and Great Britain. Perhaps the EU architects were influenced by the nice flag of the perpetually neural, liberal Sweden. The World Economic Forum lights its stage at Davos in luminous mid-blue.
In the Scottish independence referendum in 2014, the ‘Yes’ campaign sparkled in the spring sunshine with their revised Scottish saltire. The dark blue of St Andrew, as it appears in the Union Jack, was lightened for a fresh, modern look. Dundee, which Alex Salmond declared as ‘Yes City’, has a football club of original Saltire blue shirts (a colour also worn by Millwall, a club founded by Dundonian workers on the Isle of Dogs in 1885). Fans of Dundee FC were until recently British loyalists, but two decades of SNP indoctrination in schools seems to have changed that.
The NHS, elevated to a new height of sanctification during the Covid-19 ‘pandemic’, is another kingdom of heavenly blue. And now we have mass virtue-signalling for Ukraine, a former Soviet republic portrayed as a land of peaceful people keen to join the European federalist utopia. The yellow and blue flag has been adopted by millions of social media users in the patronising West. In support for this hitherto uninteresting country, the Ukrainian flag flutters over church yards, town halls and many a domestic facade.
The latest application is in a spate of ‘World Days’ for various diseases and disabilities, from to Down’s syndrome, each bearing a ribbon with one strand yellow and the other blue. At first glance, I mistook this for another Ukrainian thing.
For colour coding to work, there must be a counter colour. An obvious eschewal is the red, white and dark blue of right-wing 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 (now relabelled as fascis). Red and black, the colours of the extreme Left (as displayed by masked Antifa thugs), are tolerated but not fully endorsed: shock troops have their use to the powers-that-be but must be contained.
I believe that mid-blue is being mass-marketed, subliminally, to prime people for the coming Western-driven New World Order. Citizens of Europe and North America will be incorporated into a transnational entity remarkably similar to that prophesised by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Perhaps we are already living in Oceania, with our alternating enemies Eurasia (Russia) and Eastasia (China).
How did Orwell predict this geopolitical divide so accurately? I would attribute this to his acquaintance with British secret agent and Satanist Aleister Crowley, who had his fingers in the pie of the fledgling globalist plan in the interwar years. Like Aldous Huxley, whose Brave New World described technocracy, Orwell would have known from Crowley where the men who are really in charge were heading.
Mid-blue is the colour of both virtuous social consciousness, ecologically-minded business and Western-styled globalism. But the real motives are dystopian motives. The New World Order will continue to creep in by stealth, luring useful idiots unaware that they will soon by classed as useless eaters.
To paraphrase the Chelsea football supporters’ song, ‘blue is the colour, hunger is the game’.
