~~DC a 51st State??

Okay, I need somebody to help me. Not the sharpest tool in the shed and need some enlightenment.

So rumor has it that there's a big push again to have the District of Columbia become a State. (Odd since it seems our Capitol is it's own country already.) This has happened before & no sense in hashing through all that now. My problem is the timing. Somehow I can't shake the idea that it is actually cover for a nefarious effort to MAKE THE UNITED STATES CHANGE IT'S FLAG!

Help me here. Nobody would argue with me that throughout history Banksters and the powers that were-- changed the appearance of the currency before, during & after devaluations. So adding a State, any place-- Puerto Rice, Guam. Anyplace, doesn't matter. How ya gonna hang another star? The Flag would have to be changed. That would change the country for the history books, right?
