California Says United States Flag Is No Longer Allowed:  Which Politicians Are Responsible?

They don’t like to mention that one.
The US flag had a coincidental number of states with that of the East India Company’s, the reason why a union flag with 13 stripes was rejected pre 1775 to represent the colonies was because East India Company ships were already using it. And there were a huge number of rejected designs, the grand union flag of that design was used by George Washington on prospect hill in 1776 the flag is accredited to Betsy Ross and is a home made copy of that of the East India Company, using it as the national flag effectively was declaring the country under this corporations control(such is the nature of soverignty at that time)
It afterwards was common for former English colonies to copy suit in the design usually containing the Union flag in exactly the same proportions.

The 7 red and 6 white in the US flag and that of the East India Company were masonic derived numbers (13 for the original colonial states, 11,13 and 33 ). The East India trading company has a questionable right to use the union flag since Elizabeth 1st founded it in 1600 and the union of the Crowns did not happen till 1603 by and large the charter was given to the city of london(The Governor and Company of Merchants of London, Trading into the East-Indies) so the company is a shell company of the city, a far cry from them writing their own rules today and telling the monarch what to do or push off. You need royal assent to use the union flag since it is the monarchs personal emblem. If Elizabeth and heirs owned the company, it would never have needed a charter. The flag was often changed, the original was the flag of St George + the stripes which changed in 1688 with the company being given Bombay to reflect the kings colours and the union flag replaced Englands(not the other way around, being given the kings colours for Bombay, this is a tax exempt company). The kings colours replaced all the national flags in 1707 so we now had the Union Flag. the problem being The East India company by 1707 had most of the national wealth and could do what it pleased. Did the company support the American revolution, well its huge numbers of ships hardly withdrew from trade to fight the French and Spanish and that Army in India stayed there, I will say it backed both sides and by and large was simply comitted to removing its French Dutch and Spanish versions from the globe by any and all means.
