So, I was checking out the merch on their spreadshirt store (not intending to shill for them, but it's www.shop.spreadshirt.com/georgenews if you want to follow this lead--they do have some cool stuff, FWIW), and one of the designs they have is called "Saint George Old English" font. They also have "God Wins" and their name in a variety of other fonts, but the "Saint George" font really caught my attention. If you are familiar with the story of Saint George, he lived in the early 4th century, defied the Roman emperor Diocletian who was persecuting Christians at the time, and killed a dragon that was terrorizing a village. For a time, the dragon had been satisfied with sacrifices of sheep, but eventually, that stopped keeping it happy, and the townspeople have to offer human sacrifices to appease it. One day, the lot falls to the the king's daughter to be sacrificed, and the king says that if anyone can slay the dragon, he can marry the princess and will be the next king. George happened along while the princess is bound outside the village, waiting for the dragon to come devour her. He kills the dragon, saves the princess and the townspeople, and leads the whole village to Christ. He later became the patron saint of several countries including England and Greece.
So, it's an interesting twist as we dig into the origins of the "George" in GeorgeNews. It obviously is connected to JFK Jr's old magazine, and probably gives at least a hat tip to George Washington, but the fact that they are calling one of the designs in their store "Saint George" is, I think, probably a significant clue, especially given the pertinent details of the legend that refers to.
Thanks, thought this was also a good addition: "Saint George was a soldier of Cappadocian Greek origins, member of the Praetorian Guard for Roman emperor Diocletian, who was sentenced to death for refusing to recant his Christian faith. He became one of the most venerated saints and megalomartyrs in Christianity, and he has been especially venerated as a military saint since the Crusades. In hagiography, as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and one of the most prominent military saints, he is immortalized in the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. His memorial, Saint George's Day, is traditionally celebrated on 23 April" -military saint-
Nice find!
