Annuit Corruptus: Lightning Strikes Twice (1/3/25)

The successive lightning strikes recorded at the U.S. Capitol building and Washington monument on New Year Eve have sparked political debate. Was this an omen of something good, bad, or just a common natural occurrence? The fact is lighting strikes DC often, but the timing of the strikes as we enter a new year and new White House administration implies a divine portent of some kind. While some see it as a heavenly condemnation of the current president, others see it as a condemnation of the incoming president. Still others see it as a sign of the conflict within individual parties themselves, and Newsweek even linked it to the conflict over H-1B Visas. But, if this were to be interpreted as an omen of God’s observance, could it not be that He is furious at America as a whole? A country founded on annuit cœptis, the favor of God, has perhaps lost this favor due to the pollution and poisoning of its foundation. The wealth, opportunity, liberty and safety offered to the world has been wasted, exploited, and flouted. Men like Thomas Jefferson asked: “Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum on this globe?,” a sentiment that today is exploited for cheap political votes and cheap labor. Alexander Hamilton, a darling of modern liberals, wrote more like MAGA, that “the influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to … change and corrupt the national spirit,” and that “some reasonable term ought to be allowed to enable aliens to get rid of foreign and acquire American attachments; to learn the principles and imbibe the spirit of our government; and to admit of at least a probability of their feeling a real interest in our affairs.” In other words, only the best should be brought here and only then if they have the spirit of our principles. If not, get out. James Madison added that we should welcome the “worthy part of mankind to come and settle amongst us” in order “to increase the wealth and strength of the community.” Those exploiting, abusing, or flouting our principles, wealth, and opportunities “are not the people we are in want of.” Compare these statements with the political arguments being held by both parties and within parties today. Next to none are discussing the American spirit in terms even remotely resembling the founding ideas and principles, and coupled with corruption of mind, body, and spirit, the country crumbles under the weight of the abandonment of God.
