Or maybe it was all stared years ago as some kind of cockamamie conspiracy theory concocted by an ultra-secret "golden fringe" group "out there"...

Egad! I think that Robin has figured this out. The other two states are hidden, but you know you're in one of them when you see a gold fringe on the flag. That explains it all!!!

I think he's got it! The conspirators with the golden fringe flag! Wasn't this groulp formed during the first montnhs of the Kennedy adminsitration? Weren't they the ones who decided that a baby born in one of those hidden states August 4 1961 would have a phony record made up and then he would be secretly trained to be President so that he could turn the nation into a socialist country? I think I have seen some of that disclosed recently.

As Jay Leno has shown us, many Americans are ignorant - some can't answer the old joke question: Who is buried in Grant's tomb?

I understand that when the child was 8 years old the press threatened to expose the plot. The conspirators deflected attention from it by inventing an absurd story about people landing on the moon.

In case anyone's wondering, the correct answer is not "Grant." (-;

Really? The National Park Service thinks Gen. Grant is buried there.

General Grant National Memorial - Frequently Asked Questions (U.S. National Park Service)

I understand that his wife is buried with him.

Well, arguably, nobody is buried there. The General and his wife are interred above ground, not buried.

I was intrigued by one of the "Q&A" items in the link that Nick provided. Apparently there are no restrooms at Grant's tomb, because his wife (Julia Dent Grant), specifically said that she did not want any restrooms near her resting place.

I heard that there were 57 at one time.

The "57 States" issue was discussed in this thread :
http://www.usa-flag-site.org/forum/were-there-52-states-860.html

Starting at the end of page three (3) :
http://www.usa-flag-site.org/forum/were-there-52-states-860-3.html

Which Peter Ansoff addressed at the beginning of page four (4).


Barak Obama's "57 States" mis-speak occurred here in Oregon, by-the-way.

how ironic my last post was # 57

[name]

i also though there r 52 coz i wasnt confident with the design of the flag nor history of usa

the truth is that people think there r 52 startes coz they think that the 50 states are in the country and 2 are outside of the country, they think that flag has 50 stars coz only the states on the continent (below canada) count, the other states dont count to the country(hawaii,alaska)... and when all states are calculated together then they say 52,

they dontk now that there are 48 states on the continent and 2 are outside of the main country.
