Romans associated the eagle with Jupiter (aka Zeus, Thor) because the bird is supposedly immune to lightning. Jupiter is known as the Thunder because he is the gray bearded deity behind the storm cloud. The Masons who founded the American federation had a passion for all things Roman, so they chose the flag of Jupiter as a federal symbol for their newly crafted Rome away from Rome.
American "patriots" insist that the American eagle is different from the Roman eagle. After all, the American eagle represents freedom, whereas the Roman eagle stands for a nation of slaves. There is no slavery in America. Its citizens enjoy perfect freedom. If you don't agree, you must be excluded from political life in the nation of freedom. Your name must be inscribed on a list of people who threaten the very bedrock of America. You must be denied work because of your disbelief in America.
Do you have faith in the flag of Jupiter? In Jupiter we trust: all others pay cash.
