|The USA's Pledge of Allegiance (& the military salute)
was the origin of Adolf Hitler's "Nazi" salute under the National Socialist
German Workers Party (Nazis). http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html
The swastika was used by the military and by socialists in the USA and in the USSR, before it was used by the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP).
| The swastika, although an ancient symbol,
was also used to represent "S" letters joined for "socialism" under
the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis), similar to the
alphabetical symbolism for the SS Division, the SA, the NSV, and the
VW logo (the letters "V" and "W" joined for "Volkswagen"). http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a1.html
|Francis Bellamy & Edward
Bellamy touted National Socialism and the police state in the USA decades
before their dogma was exported to Germany. They influenced the NSDAP,
its dogma, symbols and rituals. http://rexcurry.net/police-state.html
The Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag originally began with a military salute that was then extended out toward the flag. In practice the second gesture was performed palm down. That is how the Pledge of Allegiance (and the military salute) became the origin of the salute adopted decades later by the National Socialist German Workers Party. http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html
During that time, there were many Americans in the military who were familiar with the Pledge of Allegiance (or had grown up performing it). Many of those people were also alive when the stiff-arm salute was adopted by the National Socialist German Workers Party. There must have been many people who understood the relationship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
Of course, there were many Americans who performed the military salute before it became part of the Pledge of Allegiance.
The historical reality of American history might give knowledgeable people today a different perspective whenever they view the military salute performed Americans. The military salute was how the pledge originally began and it all led to disturbing results.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag originally began with a military salute.
The Pledge was written by Francis Bellamy, and he was a big fan of the military, as was his cousin and cohort Edward Bellamy, the famous author of the book "Looking Backward."
They called their philosophy "military socialism." They wanted all of society to ape the military. The pledge was created to promote the militarization of the most socialistic institution - government schools (socialized schools) in order to create an "industrial army." Bellamyite socialists gave the U.S. its military-industrial complex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
In the late 1800s, flags were not as widely flown as they are today. While flags flew daily over military installations, schools were not one of the venues where flags were seen. http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html
Francis Bellamy made schools for children more like military bases. His militant behavior required even the youngest children to stand in military formation and mechanically chant the Pledge.
The pledge began with a military salute for the phrase "I pledge allegiance" and then for the rest of the chant the arm was extended outward to a straight-arm salute. It was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
The self-proclaimed socialist Francis Bellamy created the salute and pledge in 1892. His use of government schools to promote socialist militarism was a monstrous example to the world for decades. His dogma inspired militarism worldwide, including the countries of the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million killed under the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
All later socialists who adopted the straight-arm salute (e.g. the National Socialist German Workers' Party) knew that the salute was being used in government schools in the U.S. to promote the military-socialism complex. The swastika, although an ancient symbol, was also used sometimes to represent meshed "S" letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Jewish children were forced to perform the socialist straight-arm salute in government schools in the U.S. long before the National Socialist German Workers' Party existed, and for years thereafter while the horrid party tried to impose socialism everywhere. For more info on the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party see http://rexcurry.net/swastikamain.html
Government schools (socialist schools) expelled children who did not perform the original salute and pledge to the U.S. flag.
Bellamy belonged to a group known for "Nationalism," whose members wanted the federal government to nationalize most of the domestic economy. He saw government schools as a means to that end. It was a view later shared in the military-socialist complex of the socialist trio of atrocities.
In his Pledge of Allegiance, Francis Bellamy is expressing the ideas of his first cousin, Edward Bellamy, author of the American socialist utopian novels, Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897).
Bellamy’s “Looking Backward” is about a man who sleeps from 1887 until the year 2000. The United States has become one giant socialist monopoly (excuse the redundancy). The book openly portrays men treated as military draftees, from the age of twenty-one until the age of forty-five, in the U.S.’s industrial army. Before the age of twenty-one, men attend one enormous school system of government schools that are an integral part of creating the industrial army in the socialist system. Bellamy’s glorification of the military includes government assignment of all jobs. Everyone is issued ration cards which are used to draw goods from government storehouses. Everyone is forced to have only the same amount in value annually.
Of course, all of the preceding is portrayed as a dandy utopia just as it was in the military socialist complex of the socialist trio of atrocities and elsewhere.
The book was translated into 20 foreign languages. It was popular among the elite in pre-revolutionary Russia, and was even read by Lenin's wife. John Dewey and the historian Charles Beard intended to praise the book by stating that it was matched in influence only by Das Kapital.
http://rexcurry.net is proud to be the first to use the phrases "military-socialist complex" and "military-socialism complex" on the internet, according to searches of the web and groups.
Did Bellamy foresee soviet-style rationing, or did he inspire it?
Bellamy’s is the same socialist naivete that resulted in two famines engineered by Societ Socialism in the Ukraine from 1921-22 and 1932-33. Seven million persons perished from 1932-33 in the famine that resulted in Europe’s “breadbasket” after the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics imposed collectivist land management in the Ukraine. By the spring of 1933, an estimated 25,000 people died every day in the Ukraine. It is the same socialist naivete that resulted in 27 million people starving to death in 1958 in the so-called “Great Leap Forward” in China. Was the “Great Leap Forward” inspired by “Looking Backward”? Did Bellamy foresee the military-socialist complex of the socialist trio of atrocities, or did he help inspire them?
Bellamy proposed the original socialist salute and the pledge after he joined the staff of the magazine "Youth's Companion." Bellamy believed that the best way to promote socialism was by removing children from their parents and placing them in socialized schools (government schools) and other youth groups. It was a view later shared in the military-socialist complex of the socialist trio of atrocities.
The salute and pledge were created by Bellamy to promote socialism among the youth in the most socialistic institution -government schools (socialized schools). When the U.S. Constitution was written, children received private educations. Bellamy lived during the time when schools were becoming socialized heavily in the United States.
Socialists use a sense of belonging to seduce people. Socialist schools (government schools) are used to destroy individuality with regimentation and military-style submission (by children and their parents) to the commands of government. Bellamy had often lectured on the so-called "virtues of socialism and the evils of capitalism." It was a modus operandi later shared in the military-socialist complex of the socialist trio of atrocities.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the National Socialist German Workers' Party demonstrated the full-blown military-socialism complex when they became allies in starting WWII and invading Poland, and thereafter (in 1946) the U.S. flag's socialist salute was merely altered, and the socialist pledge remained. Both the pledge and the salute should have been dropped.
The U.S. is still an oddball in the world for the bizarre socialism of a pledge and salute to a flag, all because of a socialist and socialized schools. And government schools started it in 1892.
It all helps explain how the U.S., and the world, have suffered so much sick socialism.
It helps explain why the U.S. sends militia all over the world and tries to impose militant authoritarianism globally and domestically.
It is worth noting that Americans still use the greeting "hello" as they did then, and it is related to the German greeting "Heil" and thus to "Heil Hitler." The term "hello" is used for hailing people and is related to the phrase "Hail to the chief," and to these words: hail, heal, health. It is also related to the term "salud," meaning "health," and thus to the term "salute" and the act of saluting, which included the manner of saying "hello."
