The wrong peace symbol - the globally widespread “death rune” which has been fabricated from the Celtic Futhark runes or inverted Algiz rune - is the actual embodiment/quintessence of negative influences and evokes destructive swinging-waves regarding unpeace and hatred, revenge, vice, addictions and bondage, because for many human beings the “death rune” means reminiscence (memories) of the Nazi era, of death and ruin as well as ambitions concerning war, terror, destruction of human achievements, livelihoods as well as global evil unpeace. Therefore, it is of the utmost necessity that the wrong peace symbol, the “death rune”, disappears from the world and that the ur- ancient and correct peace symbol is spread and made known all-over the world, because its central elements reflect peace, freedom, harmony, strengthening of the life power, protection, growth and wisdom, have a constructive and strongly soothing effect, and help peaceful-positive swinging-waves to break through. Therefore, we appeal to all FIGU members, all FIGU-Interessengruppen, Studien- and Landesgruppen as well to all reasonable human beings, who are honestly striving for peace, freedom, harmony, fairness, knowledge and evolution, to do, and give, their best to spread the correct peace symbol worldwide and to bring forth clarification about the dangerous and destructive use of the “death rune”, which in memory of the Nazi crimes collectively furthers deterioration and neglect of character-"ausartung" and terribleness in the reflecting and striving of the human being, as this is still being extremely carried on after the end of the last world war 1939-1945 until the current time. ua-cam.com/video/PqeZs42RdBo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/4HzGbvGtJaY/v-deo.html
@@pakde8002 The man who is credited with the symbol, British artist Gerald Holtom, could easiky have learnt it, as he grew up between the world wars before developing the symbol in the 1950's. I knew semaphore pretty well and didn't serve until after I learnt it. It isn't a military secret.
In the early 1960's I'd seen that symbol associated with "Ban The Bomb." I was informed that it was a riff on the Semaphore "N" and "D." Since then, it has proliferated and become, as stated, the generic Peace symbol.

When I was a kid my dad was in Viet Nam. The kids in my neighborhood all wore peace signs on their jackets and teased my brothers and sister by calling our dad a baby killer and war monger. The peace sign still means hate to me….
I think you confused your childhood with something you saw on a TV drama. I was born in the late 50's so was in high school when the war ended. I never knew a kid who got harassed because a family member was sent to Vietnam. As a matter of fact most kids didn't even care that much about Vietnam, it was only some college students on TV or something discussed in civics for most American kids.
@@pakde8002 I'm glad you lived in a nice protected bubble, but I was born in the early 60's and an Army Brat. We paid attention event though you and your peers may not have. Even from 42 years ago to today the so called "Peace" symbol is the equivalent of a Swastika as far as I'm concerned.
Someone said mean words about my dad, now the peace sign is a swastika to me. Meanwhile a village is getting napalmed. If at your age you still can't understand or proportion your outrage, you're just an emotinally and ethically stunted brat.

@@sallyintucson that one actually has a kind of connection, in that in both cases it's taken from ancient use across the Indian Subcontinent, the Nazis having taken it because of their "Aryan" mythology and it having largely reached Japan by way of Buddhism.

The most memorable peace sign I ever saw used the silhouette of a B52 bomber in the center & had the inscription on the circle: PEACE...Through superior firepower!
When worn by a lady in the 1960s and '70s, it served as fair warning that she likely carried an STD. When viewed in this light, one can argue that the symbol actually had some practical value and contributed to public health.
That's seriously BS. It's highly unlikely a lady of that era or any other would have contracted an STD (unless via a philandering husband). You're referring to one of Charlie Manson's wives and the like. They weren't ladies.
what? why would she advertise that at all? sounds more like a conservative statement about women rights. for eg: all women who believe in free love and peace are free with themselves and have STDs. typical.
Back in the '70's,my friend's and I would flash peace signs to people while sitting in the hatchback of my dad's car. If they signed us back they were all right in not , we'd give them the middle finger( J/K about that part) We were just grade school kids & had only a vague recollection of Vietnam; we just thought it was a cool thing to do😎✌️

You do know that thousands and thousands of Bosniak women and young girls were very unlucky during that aggression on Bosnia,right? How would they feel if we Bosniaks did this to Serbian women and young girls?? Bosnia. 1992-1995 Yes many girls ,even Bosniak girls called me ugly when it’s not my fault and lied to me and played ,and I also find this very unfair ,while the Serbs got to make babies in the aggression…….I better get justice!!
To be clear: the soldiers didn't want to be in Vietnam so there's no irony in them wearing them. They were drafted so that was how they gave the draft and the war the middle finger.
Never heard of that one, sounds like something that might be taught in a particularly fundamentalist Bible Belt Sunday School. Sounds like the cute, if ridiculous stories they used to inflict on me.
here's a challenge for you: dig into the history of the curtsey. why is curtsey. it makes no sense, and yet its considered standard polite behavior for women. every time I try to figure out the history I just find a bunch of how to guides, tons of british tabloids shaming literally every woman they can find pictures of for not doing it right, and conservative american blog posts being as gross as you'd expect. the only thing I've learned is that if I ever meet british royals I think I'm gonna just squat at them, just to upset the tabloids.
Humanity has never had one year of true peace. Maybe we'll live long enough to see it, or even a month, a week, a day. maybe for just a moment, peace will reign.
The rainbow peace flag does turn up occasionally here in Germany. Usually it's hippies, or their horrible cousins, the conspiracy theorists. Especially the antivaxxer movement has bee using them a lot in their marches, which has a special sort of irony lol
The peace symbol is very similar to the international radiation hazard symbol in use before 2007, also known as the trefoil. I always imagined the artist's inspiration was from the radiation hazard symbol with the admittance banned symbol superimposed on top. All that was left to do was simplify it as stick form, spin each symbol around in the circle so that it's not so obvious and voila. The crap about the painting and the semaphores is just total BS imo.
My Sergeant Major said it was the foot print of the American Chicken. I remember how people who wore that symbol treated me when I came back home and I sure didn't like it. We had a joke...You have a rifle with one bullet in it. There's a VC soldier and a Hippy in front of you. What day is it? It's Victor Charlie's lucky day!

Does it have a name? I can't find that symbol searching for reverse peace sign
An Irish nun told me in the 60s that it represents a broken cross as an insult to Carholicism.
In South Africa it was an upside cross and anti Christ.
Give us some visual peace by turning the seam on that lampshade to the back so it doesn't show.
🤣😂🤣
It's the upside down Life rune.
More specifically it's the death rune.
It's based on semaphore for the letters N and D, which stand for Nuclear Disarmament, right?
That's what I thought. I believe I learned that out of an encyclopedia book when I was a teenager
Yeah right LoL. The artist didn't serve in the military so how did he learn semaphore on a farm? I call bs.
