Every nation on Earth with a ‘central bankstering’ financial system is part of the Deep State Cabal. The yokes of this fascism in each nation are in various phases of removal. The BRICS+ for example are well into the throes of shedding this evil. The US is a bit earlier in the process.

America-First Patriots shall prevail in this good-vs-evil endeavor.

Bump

I couldn’t get past the 4th paragraph.

The ‘sticks’ in the eagles talons are very definitely ARROWS, and the final designer of the great seal stated that the arrows and the olive branch “denote the power of peace and war, which is exclusively vested in Congress.”

Europeans may have interpreted the arrows as aggressiveness; but they obviously ARE arrows, not just ‘rods’ or ‘sticks’.

Everybody hates me because I won’t end the knee to large women in librarian glasses.

I remain steadfast and true to my non conformity.

Spencer goes on to explain that.

We sometimes rob ourselves of knowledge or comprehension because we get triggered and go no further.

[Jamestown1630]

I went through it again, and I don’t see where he does.

If a writer wants to keep my attention, he will have to get facts right.

The Latin word fasces means bundles, like bundles of sticks. On the United States dollar bill, there is an American eagle clutching a couple of bundles of sticks. The idea is that a single stick is weak and can be easily snapped in two and destroyed, but if you hold a bundle of sticks together, they can’t be so easily broken. The idea is that out of unity comes strength. The statement E Pluribus Unum, which is on the dollar and is one of the mottoes of the United States, “out of many, one,” is in one sense a fascist statement, because it is saying that we are all stronger together than we are separately.

The Founding Fathers were not remotely fascist. America is not fascist. They were just emphasizing the importance of unity among the various states. But fascism as an organized political ideology shares that idea of strength in unity. It arose in the beginning of the 20th century in Italy, and of course, spread to Germany and elsewhere, and was thought to be completely discredited at the end of World War II. However, the People’s Republic of China today is more fascist than communist, and Joe Biden’s United States of America is a fascist state as well.

Spencer said sticks instead of arrows, but imo, the imagery is the same whether arrows or sticks.

I read the article. I’m not arguing about his general ‘fascism’ take. I’m arguing about his error regarding the Great Seal.

If you look at the Great Seal, those are not merely ‘sticks’ they are Arrows; and the final designer of the Seal definitely stated that they represented the power of War.

I think someone else had an issue with this when it was first posted late last year.

We aught not take the luxury of dissecting the semantics.

Be well, my FRiend.

The Mace of the United States House of Representatives has ebony shafts bundled together.

The design of the mace is derived from an ancient battle weapon and the Roman fasces. The ceremonial mace is 46 inches (120 cm) high and consists of 13 ebony rods—representing the original 13 states of the Union—bound together by silver strands criss-crossed over the length of the pole. The rods are bound together by four crossing ribbons of silver, pinned together and held at the bottom and at the top by silver bands. The bands are decorated with floral borders and a repoussé design. The name “Wm. Adams/Manufacturer/New York/1841.” is engraved in the cartouche, located in the front center of the bottom band. This shaft is topped by a silver globe 4-1/2 inches in diameter and engraved with the seven continents, the names of the oceans, lines of longitude, and the major lines of latitude. The Western Hemisphere faces the front. The globe is encircled with a silver rim marked with the degrees of latitude, on which is perched an engraved solid silver eagle with a wingspan of 15 inches. The total weight of the mace is 10 pounds.[5]

I think you mean ‘ought’.

I’m sorry, but I take the historical meanings behind symbology pretty seriously - especially when it comes to my Country.

[Jamestown1630]

The Eagle is not holding a 'mace', but the arrows do signify the power of war.

From Wiki:

'The primary official explanation of the symbolism of the great seal was given by Charles Thomson upon presenting the final design for adoption by Congress. He wrote:

'The Escutcheon is composed of the chief & pale, the two most honorable ordinaries. The Pieces, paly, represent the several states all joined in one solid compact entire, supporting a Chief, which unites the whole & represents Congress. The Motto alludes to this union.

'The pales in the arms are kept closely united by the chief and the Chief depends upon that union & the strength resulting from it for its support, to denote the Confederacy of the United States of America & the preservation of their union through Congress. The colours of the pales are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valor, and Blue, the colour of the Chief signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.

'The Olive branch and arrows denote the power of peace & war which is exclusively vested in Congress.'

I think the author got some of the meanings mixed up.
