Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, one of the reasons that it was chosen and/or maintained by the National Socialist German Workers' Party is because it resembles two "S" letters for "Socialism." Some critics make the absurd argument that during the 25 year existence of the horrid Party no Nazi noticed the "S" shapes nor attached any meaning (nor anyone in the SS Division). They also ignore the fact that the Party leader was an artist. see more graphic examples of the swastika myth debunked with posters from 1933-1945 at http://rexcurry.net/socialism-posters/posters2.html and with pre-1933 National Socialist posters at http://rexcurry.net/socialist-propaganda/posters1.html see the swastika myth debunked with German medals at http://rexcurry.net/socialism/germany.html and http://rexcurry.net/swastikacross.html and with flags & banners at http://rexcurry.net/swastikaflags.html

Three terms sum up popular myths: “Swastika” and “Nazi” and “Roman Salute.” RexCurry.net exposed all three.

The "Roman salute" myth holds that the Nazi salute was from ancient Rome. The myth was refuted by the historic discovery that the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) came from a national socialist in the USA who used a straight-arm salute as part of the original pledge of allegiance. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

The pledge of allegiance was written by a self-proclaimed National Socialist in the USA in 1892 (Francis Bellamy) who promoted "military socialism" and operated the "Nationalist" magazine and spread the straight-arm salute via kids in schools, three decades before the Nazis adopted similar behavior.

RexCurry.net also exposed the “Nazi” myth, that Nazis hate socialists. The word “Nazi” hides the actual name of the horrid party: the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. The practice is so widespread that most people who use the word “Nazi” are ignorant of what the abbreviation abbreviates and why it ties into the pledge of allegiance and to earlier National Socialists in the USA. http://rexcurry.net/mediacover.html
and http://rexcurry.net/swastikamedia.html
and http://rexcurry.net/swastikaweb.html

Nazis always referred to themselves as "National Socialists" and never as "Nazis" and they always used the word "hakenkreuz" and not "swastika."

The "Swastika myth" is that the symbol of the Nazis was a swastika, and used as their "good luck" sign, or reversed for "evil." The use of the word "swastika" coincides with "Nazi" to hide the symbol's meaning for the horrid Party: Socialism and the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million dead under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 35 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

Today, most people would never make the connection between the swastika's "S" shapes and "socialism" because most people do not know that the Nazis were the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/swastikaweb.html

The trio of myths are examples of astounding historical facts that were deliberately shoved down Orwell's "memory hole."

There should be a cartoon or picture like the ones below explaining the historic discovery by RexCurry.net that the straight-armed salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) came from the military salute in the USA, and from the original pledge of allegiance in government schools, as written by a socialist in the USA. It did not come from ancient Rome. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

The media are already ignoring everything about the pledge except for the propaganda they were taught in government schools. It appears the Newdow matter will be another droning and intellectually dishonest repeat of the prior coverage.

The pledge of allegiance was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party) because Francis Bellamy was a self-proclaimed national socialist who promoted “military socialism” (a Bellamy term). To promote militarism, Bellamy started the pledge of allegiance with a military salute.

The military salute was held for the phrase “I pledge allegiance” and then the right arm extended straight outward toward the flag for the rest of the chant. Historic photographs are visible in web image searches for "original salute" and "nazi salute."

The first description of the pledge had the palm of the hand turned upward for the straight-armed gesture. The gesture changed in use, growing into the "Heil Hitler" appearance because of the military salute (palm down) extended casually straight toward the flag.

James Bailey Upham suggested to Bellamy part of the gesture (the straight-arm with the palm upward). Upham’s suggested gesture (palm up) was like saying “Here is the flag.” It was because of Bellamy’s alteration (the addition of the military salute) that the pledge evolved into the Nazi-style.

Upham was also familiar with Bellamy's "military socialism" dogma because Edward Bellamy, cousin and cohort to Francis, had written of it in the international bestseller "Looking Backward" in 1888, and both Bellamys had been openly involved in the national socialism movement and the "Nationalist" magazine.

Even with the palm turned upward, people would later see the relationship to the National Socialist German Workers' Party and that is why the straight-arm salute was disfavored in 1942, and the hand-over-the-heart was adopted.

Because of Bellamy’s military socialism and his addition of the military salute, the pledge’s salute evolved into the Nazi-style salute.

Government schools teach that the pledge was created to sell flags to schools and Francis Bellamy is described as an advertising pioneer. That is a whitewashed piece of the whole story. A better description is that Bellamy was a propaganda pioneer, comparable to Leni Riefenstahl.

Germans learned bad American behavior via old films, via WWI, and via the widespread use of the straight-arm salute by German-American groups (including the German Americna Bund) in the USA, that led to its adoption later by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party).

Bellamy believed that government schools with pledges and flags were needed to entice children to embrace nationalism, militarism, and socialism.

Bellamy wanted the government to takeover everything and impose the military’s “efficiency,” as he said. It is the origin of the modern military-socialist complex.

Bellamy wanted a flag over every school because he wanted to nationalize and militarize everything, including all schools, and eliminate all of the better alternatives. During Bellamy’s time the government was taking over education.

Bellamy wanted government schools to ape the military. Government schools were intended to create an “industrial army” (another Bellamy phrase, and the word “army” was not metaphorical) and to help nationalize everything else.

That is one of many reasons why Francis Bellamy and his also-famous cousin Edward Bellamy are known as the "American Hitlers" and as the first "American Nazis."

True Republicans are the republicans who oppose the so-called "Pledge Protection Act." True republicans support the Pledge Rejection Act (PRA), and oppose the PPA. The Pledge Rejection Act repeals all laws that recognize in any way the pledge of allegiance.

The creator of the pledge of allegiance was a self-proclaimed National Socialist. The pledge’s original salute was a straight arm salute. It was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The pledge is an example of the Stockholm Syndrome. The latter phenomenon is the condition where hostages - Patty Hearst, for example - grow to sympathize with, and in extreme cases join, their captors. That explains students in government schools coerced into robotically chanting the pledge daily on cue at the ring of a government bell, like Pavlov’s lapdogs of the state.

Congressman Ron Paul misinformed Congress while speaking for the Pledge Protection Act. His errors about Francis Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Allegiance, include the claim that Bellamy was an atheist. Bellamy was a religious wacko.

The errors are at Rep. Paul's official website and the errors were repeated on Lew Rockwell's website.

I was the first one to call Rep. Paul’s attention to his error, and a google search or google news search for “the atheist Bellamy” shows my efforts to counteract Rep. Paul’s error and his same error maintained at LewRockwell’s website.

To every Freeper: Tell Rep. Paul and Lew Rockwell that you are aware of my standing challenge to publicly debate their errors, and their knowledge of the history of the pledge, and their views about the pledge today. Ask them if they have accepted my debate challenge, if they have corrected the glaring “atheist” error, and if not, then why don’t they have the guts or the intellectual honesty to do so?

After Mr. Rockwell was alerted to the errors, he wrote that he would not print these corrections, he did not deny them, and he persisted in posting the errors on his website. I then asked Mr. Rockwell to convey to Rep. Paul (and to everyone who prints Rep. Paul's errors) my standing challenge to publicly debate their errors, and their knowledge of the history of the pledge, and their views about the pledge today. Hearing nothing within a week, I will announce my victory (by default).

I have personally met Rep. Paul and I admire him. I have supported him and voted for him. I hope that Rep. Paul will speak again in Congress and tell the true history of the Pledge and display photographs of the original pledge for all Congressmen and for all Americans to see. Does any public official have the guts to do it? Does any media or website that prints Rep. Paul's errors have the guts to do it? A google image search for “nazi salute” shows original U.S. flag salutes.

I hope Rep. Paul will change his mind and oppose the pledge, and oppose government schools.

Here is the part of Rep. Paul's speech that contains mistakes: "Francis Bellamy, the author of the pledge, was a self-described socialist who wished to replace the Founders' constitutional republic with a strong, centralized welfare state. Bellamy wrote the pledge as part of his efforts to ensue that children put their allegiance to the central government before their allegiance to their families, local communities, state governments, and even
their creator! In fact, the atheist Bellamy did not include the words 'under God' in his original version of the pledge. That phrase was added to the pledge in the 1950s. Today, most Americans who support the pledge reject
Bellamy's vision and view the pledge as a reaffirmation of their loyalty to the Framers' vision of a limited, federal republic that recognizes that rights come from the creator, not from the state."

Bellamy was not an atheist. Far from it. Bellamy was a preacher, and a member of the Society of Christian Socialists, and was expelled from the ministry for giving speeches such as "Jesus the Socialist" (finding a copy
of that speech is harder than finding photos of the original Nazi-style salute to the flag).

So, Bellamy was theistic and he was a religious wacko.

According to Bellamy's granddaughter, he would have resented the addition of the words "under God" in 1954. Research indicates that she is incorrect.

While it is true that the first pledge did not contain the phrase "under God," the accompanying articles for the first Pledge program did contain many religious references. A historic discovery may have just been made in that the phrase "under God" is in Bellamy's original article/speech next to the first Pledge (Youth's Companion, September 8, 1892, and see the article therein "The Meaning of the Four Centuries").

A recent search of the internet indicated that the above webpage is the only source on the internet for Bellamy's scary speech.

It seems like an oversight that the phrase "under God" was not in the original pledge. In that sense, there is no "secular" Pledge of Allegiance and there never was. Bellamy was a self-proclaimed national socialist and the purpose of the pledge was to promote a government takeover of education, and to eliminate all of the better alternatives, in order to create an "industrial army" (a Bellamy term) openly modeled on the military to nationalize the economy and establish a utopian society of Christian socialism, as described in the book "Looking Backward" by Edward Bellamy,
cousin and cohort of Francis. The pledge was a prayer for a utopian society of Christian socialism even before it was explicitly deified in 1954. The Bellamy ideas were dystopian hell here and abroad.

Bellamy claimed that he stopped attending church because he disliked the racial bigotry he found there. However the legacy of his government takeover of education was racism and segregation imposed by law and taught as official policy in government schools. It was behavior later displayed by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The racism and segragation in government schools continued even after WWII and into the '60s, even beyond. Bellamy never told anyone to leave government schools "because he disliked the racial bigotry he found there." Those schools still exist to this day. Bellamy was a bigot.

Edward Bellamy's book was an international bestseller and influenced the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (62 million killed), the People's Republic of China (35 million killed), and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (21 million killed). (Death tolls from the book "Death by
Government" by Professor R. J. Rummel).

Believe it or not, "our" pledge was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The original single right arm salute was no less worshipful idolatry then if the left arm had been extended also. That is the mentality that led to its adoption by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The claim that it
was an old Roman salute is a myth.

The right hand over the heart is no less worshipful idolatry then if the left hand were crossed over the right, in another clearer position of prayer.

In 1942 Congress officially recognized the Pledge, but gave it the modern hand-over-the-heart gesture. There is probably one overriding reason why Congress interfered: to make everyone drop the straight-arm salute, which
was becoming very embarassing and very revealing.

Congress' 1954 act deifying the national socialist's pledge should not have been a choice between "theistic socialism" or "atheistic socialism," but Congress compounded its 1942 mess in government schools with the 1954 tweaking. A choice between two evils is still evil. Through bizarre
ignorance, the updated pledge's deification of government is more accurate in paying homage to Bellamy's monstrous establishment of theistic socialism.

Another error in Honorable Ron Paul's comment is "Today, most Americans who support the pledge reject Bellamy's vision and view the pledge as a reaffirmation of their loyalty to the Framers' vision of a limited, federal
republic that recognizes that rights come from the creator, not from the state."

Most Americans support the socialist's pledge and support Bellamy's vision of a massive government-school monopoly, as well as the social security system and other widespread socialism. Bellamy has duped Congressmen into boastfully chanting the socialist's pledge, supporting his government schools, social security and massive spending. One
reason for that is because Bellamy's government-school monopoly taught most Americans and most Congressmen propaganda about the pledge, and cajoled everyone into robotically chanting it daily on cue from the government, like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state.

Also, most Americans and most Congressmen have never seen the rare photos of the pledge. Government schools never show them.

The separation of school and state is as important as the separation of church and state. The government should not run Sunday school, nor Monday school through Friday school.

On September 27th, the U.S. Supreme Court conferred about a case urging that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. The case is Wonschik v. U.S. and I have filed an Amicus Brief in that case.

Wonschik might end the "Pledge Protection Act" before the act starts. It is a race to see which happens first.

A motion to recuse might result in the recusal of the entire U.S. Supreme Court. The motion expands arguments that resulted in the recusal of Justice Scalia. It is the first time in history that a motion to recuse addressed
each Justice. The motion to recuse discusses the history of the Pledge and the Court's segregation cases.

Let's restore the pledge to its pre-1892 version.

Francis Bellamy (creator of the pledge) wanted a government takeover of education, and to eliminate all of the better alternatives, in order to create an "industrial army" (a Bellamy term) to socialize the economy, as described in the book "Looking Backward" by Edward Bellamy, cousin and cohort of Francis.

That is the mentality that led to its adoption by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The claim that it was an old Roman salute is a myth. Just look for "the roman salute myth" in a google search.

Bellamy’s socialist plans were successful in duping most Americans into supporting his socialist schools and even into supporting a daily robotic chant of his government worshiping pledge daily in government schools. Bellamy’s socialist plans were successful in duping most Americans to support the social security scam and socialist slave numbers, even given to infants, to track everyone’s residences, movements, employment, finances for life, stealing the whole way. Bellamy has succeeded in duping even Republican Congressmen into boastfully reciting the socialist's pledge, supporting his government schools, social security and massive spending that out-socialized Clinton’s by triple (in social spending alone). One reason for that is because Bellamy's government-school monopoly taught most Americans and most Congressmen propaganda about the pledge, and cajoled everyone into robotically chanting it daily on cue from a government bell. It might not have made them into Manchurian candidates, but stepford students have supported massive socialism ever since.

Also, most Americans and most Congressmen have never seen the rare photos of the historic pledge. Government schools never show them. And Congressmen are too intellectually dishonest to show them too. Some are available in google image searches for "nazi salute."

I wonder if he is thinking: I bet there isn't a dimbulb in here who realizes he/she is paying homage to a socialist who promoted a government-takeover of schools, massive socialism, including the social security scam and its socialist slave numbers, and that all of these boobs have now bought into it and don't even know the origin nor why.

Or is he thinking: I bet there isn't a dimbulb in here who realizes he/she is paying homage to a socialist in the nationalism movement who wrote the pledge with a salute that was originally a straight arm salute that was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

On September 27th, the U.S. Supreme Court conferred about a case urging that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. The case is Wonschik v. U.S. and I have filed an Amicus Brief in that case.

Wonschik might end the "Pledge Protection Act" before the act starts. It is a race to see which happens first.

A motion to recuse might result in the recusal of the entire U.S. Supreme Court. The motion expands arguments that resulted in the recusal of Justice Scalia. It is the first time in history that a motion to recuse addressed each Justice. The motion to recuse discusses the history of the Pledge and the Court's segregation cases.

Let's restore the pledge to its pre-1892 version.

Francis Bellamy (creator of the Pledge of Allegiance) was a self-proclaimed national socialist and the purpose of the pledge was to promote a government takeover of education, and to eliminate all of the better alternatives, in order to create an "industrial army" (a Bellamy term) openly modeled on the military to nationalize the economy and establish a utopian society of socialism, as described in the book "Looking Backward" by Edward Bellamy, cousin and cohort of Francis. The Bellamy ideas were dystopian hell here and abroad.

The legacy of his government takeover of education was racism and segregation imposed by law and taught as official policy in government schools. It was behavior later displayed by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The racism and segragation in government schools continued even after WWII and into the '60s, even beyond.

Edward Bellamy's book was an international bestseller and influenced the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (62 million killed), the People's Republic of China (35 million killed), and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (21 million killed). (Death tolls from the book "Death by Government" by Professor R. J. Rummel).

Believe it or not, "our" pledge was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The original single right arm salute was no less worshipful idolatry then if the left arm had been extended also. That is the mentality that led to its adoption by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The claim that it was an old Roman salute is a myth.

The right hand over the heart is no less worshipful idolatry then if the left hand were crossed over the right, in another clearer position of prayer.

In 1942 Congress officially recognized the Pledge, but gave it the modern hand-over-the-heart gesture. There is probably one overriding reason why Congress interfered: to make everyone drop the straight-arm salute, which was becoming very embarassing and very revealing.

Congress' 1954 act deifying the national socialist's pledge should not have been a choice between "theistic socialism" or "atheistic socialism," but Congress compounded its 1942 mess in government schools with the 1954 tweaking. A choice between two evils is still evil. Through bizarre ignorance, the updated pledge's deification of government is more accurate in paying homage to Bellamy's monstrous establishment of theistic socialism.

Bellamy was not an atheist. Far from it. Bellamy was a preacher, and a member of the Society of Christian Socialists, and was expelled from the ministry for giving speeches such as "Jesus the Socialist" (finding a copy of that speech is harder than finding photos of the original Nazi-style salute to the flag).

So, Bellamy was theistic and he was a religious wacko.

It seems like an oversight that the phrase "under God" was not in the original pledge. In that sense, there is no "secular" Pledge of Allegiance and there never was.

According to Bellamy's granddaughter, he would have resented the addition of the words "under God" in 1954. Research indicates that she is incorrect.

While it is true that the first pledge did not contain the phrase "under God," the accompanying articles for the first Pledge program did contain many religious references. A historic discovery may have just been made in that the phrase "under God" is in Bellamy's original article/speech next to the first Pledge (Youth's Companion, September 8, 1892, and see the article
therein "The Meaning of the Four Centuries").

A recent search of the internet indicated that there is only one webpage as the source on the internet for Bellamy's scary speech.

Most Americans support the socialist's pledge and support Bellamy's vision of a massive government-school monopoly, as well as the social security system and other widespread socialism. Bellamy has succeeded in duping even Congressmen into boastfully reciting the socialist's pledge, supporting his government schools, social security and massive spending. One reason for that is because Bellamy's government-school monopoly taught most Americans and most Congressmen propaganda about the pledge, and cajoled everyone into robotically chanting it daily on cue from the government, like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state.

Also, most Americans and most Congressmen have never seen the rare photos of the pledge. Government schools never show them.

Let's restore the pledge to its pre-1892 version.

Congressman Ron Paul misinformed Congress while speaking for the
Pledge Protection Act. His errors about Francis Bellamy, author of the
Pledge of Allegiance, include the claim that Bellamy was an atheist. Bellamy
was a religious wacko.

The errors are at Rep. Paul's official website and the errors were repeated on LewRockwell.com and are still linked there today.

After Mr. Rockwell was alerted to the errors, he wrote that he would not
print these corrections, he did not deny them, and he persisted in posting
the errors on his website. I then asked Mr. Rockwell to convey to Rep. Paul
(and to everyone who prints Rep. Paul's errors) my standing challenge to
publicly debate their errors, and their knowledge of the history of the
pledge, and their views about the pledge today. Hearing nothing within a
week, I will announce my victory (by default).

I have personally met Rep. Paul and I admire him. I have supported him and voted for him. I hope that Rep. Paul will speak again in Congress and tell the true history of the Pledge and display photographs of the original pledge for all Congressmen and for all Americans to see. Does any public official have the guts to do it? Does any media or website that prints Rep. Paul's errors have the guts to do it? A google image search for “nazi salute” shows original U.S. flag salutes.

I hope Rep. Paul will change his mind and oppose the pledge, and oppose
government schools.

Here is the part of Rep. Paul's speech that contains mistakes: "Francis
Bellamy, the author of the pledge, was a self-described socialist who wished
to replace the Founders' constitutional republic with a strong, centralized
welfare state. Bellamy wrote the pledge as part of his efforts to ensue that
children put their allegiance to the central government before their
allegiance to their families, local communities, state governments, and even
their creator! In fact, the atheist Bellamy did not include the words 'under
God' in his original version of the pledge. That phrase was added to the
pledge in the 1950s. Today, most Americans who support the pledge reject
Bellamy's vision and view the pledge as a reaffirmation of their loyalty to
the Framers' vision of a limited, federal republic that recognizes that
rights come from the creator, not from the state."

Bellamy was not an atheist. Far from it. Bellamy was a preacher, and a
member of the Society of Christian Socialists, and was expelled from the
ministry for giving speeches such as "Jesus the Socialist" (finding a copy
of that speech is harder than finding photos of the original Nazi-style
salute to the flag).

So, Bellamy was theistic and he was a religious wacko.

Another error in Honorable Ron Paul's comment is "Today, most Americans who
support the pledge reject Bellamy's vision and view the pledge as a

Scalia. It is the first time in history that a motion to recuse addressed

the Court's segregation cases.
