The Global motto, Here We Rest, sits over the eagle, a reference to the fulfillment of Manifest Destiny, the philosophy of the great explorers and opportunists of our past. In the Eagle's talons are an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing the peace found through waging war, the olives are from California, the last place for the old world to rest, itself a symbol of how Global Capitalism brings you inferior products at a lower price. The current seal contains images similar to past
seals, although notably absent are the images representing Commerce. The
boatman has disappeared, the neighborhood corner store, the Bazaar and
the flea market. The ships are now larger, rigged military vessels, and
no longer depicted as you all know what they look like.
