The colors of red, white, and blue are common to the US, UK, and French flags and represent revolution.
The 33 fan blades or white feather-like pieces in the background coincide with the first 33 levels of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, who give special meaning to the number 33 because of the 33 bones in the spine, the conduit for power in the human body.
E pluribus unum "Out of many, one." Reverse it = One out of many. You might also say "monopoly". Mono = one, Poly = many, and that’s what the United States has been famous for is the creation of monopolies.
The oak leaves represent conquest. They are not the olive branch. Oak clusters are used for US military officer's insignia at rank of major and lieutenant colonel, or lieutenant commander and commander in the Navy.
The fasci at the bottom of the symbol are the most obvious example of continuity of symbology. They are well known from the Roman Empire where lictors carried actual fasci, and to a lesser extent the Minoan, who used a double-headed axe. The central axe inside the bundle of sticks is the central power protected by an elite or oligarchy who are bound together. Being bound together, they are much stronger and can not be destroyed as easily as one stick can be broken with a single blow. The idea is forming ranks to protect each other. The Axis (axes) Powers of WW2 were the fascists.
I love symbology.

These details are not significant compared to the overall philosophy and similarities, which he frequently refers to as "unmerited favor" in a hierarchical system that its members at the lower levels (below 33), understand very little.
Know anything more about military oak clusters?
Watt wasn't giving the etymology of the word monopoly, he was breaking monopoly into two pieces and using them as a mnemonic to relate to the meaning of the latin phrase E Pluribus Unum.
I have not heard Watt say exactly that the USA is fascist described just like that.
The original symbol of fascism, in Italy under Benito Mussolini, was the fasces. This is an ancient Roman symbol of power carried by lictors in front of magistrates; a bundle of sticks featuring an axe, indicating the power over life and death. Before the Italian fascists adopted the fasces, the symbol had been used by Italian political organizations of various political ideologies (ranging from socialist to nationalist), called Fascio ("leagues") as a symbol of strength through unity.

If a government uses fascii on its seal and in its is lawmaking house (they are on display in the US Congress), how can it not mean that it's fascist?
We're really getting at the main point of my original post about continuity of symbology being evidence of continuity of ideology, as well as proof of a multi-generational institution to continue the system across multiple geographic regions or political boundaries.
The chart I posted shows a comparison of York and Scottish rites that illustrate this graphically as they both lead to exactly the same place, although there are different numbers of degrees with different names.
Masonry is an extremely deceptive religion, which is explained clearly by the former leader of masonry in the second half of the 19th century, Albert Pike...
I just went to Albert Pike's book to find answers, as did Alan Watt, but he did extensive studying over many years. It's not assumptions, it's from masonic reference works.
