I apparently startled a great many people with the "news" that the "Stars and Stripes" war flag is not our flag---not at this time, and not at any time since 1814:
"From the loftiest point of its roof, during precisely three and a half
hours of the forenoon, floats or droops, in breeze or calm, the banner of the
republic; but with the thirteen stripes turned vertically, not
horizontally......" Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Introductory: The Customs House" ,
The Scarlet Letter, published 1850.
In my article about the need to correct your political status (since your
identity has been stolen and your political status deliberately misrepresented
almost from birth) I also addressed the necessity of "re-flagging" your "vessel"
to function in international trade instead of international commerce.
