“1099” refers to the year that the Kingdom of Jerusalem was established.

To design the reactionary movement’s flag, it makes sense to hearken back to a traditional emblem, namely that of the Jerusalem Cross, also known as the Crusader Cross. This Christian symbol was the emblem of the Kingdom of Jerusalem after its takeover by the Crusaders in 1099 AD.

The five crosses represent the five wounds of Christ. This makes the Crusader Cross a powerful geopolitical statement, namely against both a Hebrew Israel and an Arab Palestine.

The importance of the Middle East lies in its access to some of the world’s busiest trade routes, such as the modern Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea, the Bosporus, and the Black Sea, as well as overland trade along the Silk Road and elsewhere, thus connecting Central Europe (Germany) to the world via Iraq and Palestine.

The rulers of the Germanic Holy Roman Empire (the First Reich) understood this very well. It’s the real reason why the crusades were launched, and why German Catholics ruled Europe for a thousand years.

Later, German unifier Otto von Bismarck embarked on the construction of railroads from Berlin to and through Palestine and Baghdad, precisely to connect German industry to global trade (i.e., with North Africa, the Middle East, India, and China) and attract the world’s energy flows (i.e., Iraqi oil).

You may have guessed that there’s a reason why globalist forces hate Christianity so much. A Christian-European takeover of the Middle East is their greatest nightmare.

The Jerusalem Cross, then, states : We will make the Middle East CHristian Again (MECHA).

Below, a more ceremonial orange-yellow version, with “1806” referring to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire.

And a blue-yellow version for the 1517 flag,

“1517” refers to the start of the Protestant Reformation, the effects of which the reactionary movement will want to undo. As argued in the book The Unintended Reformation by Brad S. Gregory, Martin Luther intended to reform Catholicism, but unintendedly laid the foundation for individualism, secularism, and consumer capitalism.

Our movement represents nationalism (national collectivism), theocracy, and family-owned businesses (or value capitalism).

Note: The numbers don’t need to be included in the flags. They can be dropped. I suggest using the numbered flags for ceremonial purposes.
