Matt Crypto on Edward Bellamy & Francis Bellamy
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/matt-crypto-matt-crypto-matt-crypto

I work for the "Stop the Pledge" Foundation (STP), a non-profit group. They help to free Americans from the Pledge of Allegiance and its daily robotic chanting in unison on command in government schools (socialist schools). The pledge was the origin of Nazi salutes & Nazi behavior. Adolf Hitler & German national socialists borrowed the stiff-armed salute from the USA via Ernst Hanfstaengl, a Harvard grad.

Edward Bellamy (cousin of Francis Bellamy) was a socialist in the Nationalism movement. Francis Bellamy assisted Edward and authored the Pledge of Allegiance (1892), the origin of the stiff-armed salute adopted much later by the National Socialist German Workers Party. See the work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry.

The early pledge began with a military salute that was then extended out toward the flag. It was known as the Bellamy salute. In practice, the second gesture was performed palm-down with a stiff-arm when the military salute was merely pointed out at the flag. Thus, the military salute led to the Nazi salute in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States.

It was not an ancient Roman salute. That is a myth debunked by Dr. Curry, who showed that the myth came from the Pledge.

American national socialists (including Edward Bellamy), in cooperation with Madame Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society, popularized the use of the Swastika (an ancient symbol) as a modern symbol for socialism long before the symbol was adopted by the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

The Bellamys influenced the National Socialist German Workers Party and its dogma, rituals and symbols (including the modern use of the swastika as crossed S-letters for "Socialism" under German National Socialism). Similar alphabetical symbolism was used under the NSDAP for the "SS" division, the "SA," the "NSV," et cetera and similar symbolism is visible today as the Volkswagen VW logo.

The Bellamys wanted the government to take over all food, clothing, shelter, goods and services and create an "industrial army" to impose their "military socialism." See the video documentary at

It is the same dogma that led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): ~60 million killed under the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; ~50 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; ~20 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/socialists.html

Today, the flag symbolizes authoritarianism in the USA. The historical facts above explain the enormous size and scope of government today, and the USA's police state, and why it is growing so rapidly.  They are reasons for minarchy: massive reductions in government, taxation, spending and socialism.

Rex Curry shows Pledge of Allegiance was origin of Nazi salute and Nazi behavior

Rex Curry showed that the Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior

The Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior (as shown in the discoveries of the historian Dr. Rex Curry).  http://youtu.be/mvDwL553pVM  The original pledge started with the speakers hand in the MILITARY SALUTE (not at his side), and during the pledge, when the speaker says "to my flag," the hand was SUPPOSED to be extended PALM UP toward the flag, but in practice students simply extended the military salute outward toward the flag, which was with the PALM DOWN. Yet, the palm-down way became the standard practice, and sometimes the military salute was dropped entirely, resulting in nothing but the stiff-armed salute that was exactly the Nazi salute (adopted later in Germany). The socialist Francis Bellamy wrote the pledge as part of a campaign for government to take over education, to take over all schools. And the whole thing did not become moot when Hitler came into power (1930-1933) and that is not when the gesture changed. The US's Nazi gesture for the pledge continued to be used for over a decade more and even beyond (even after Congress waded into the mess (1942). Roosevelt did not have anything to do with it other than being in office at the time. Everyone in the US did not immediately drop their beloved stiff-armed gesture because many protested "That is our gesture. We did it first." Of course the robotic chanting on command daily in government schools (socialist schools) outlasted German socialism, even after the gesture was changed to hide the pledge's putrid past.

Ear Rape without lube: The Pledge of Allegiance to the USA's flag

Ear rape without lube: the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. The Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of Nazi salutes and Nazi behavior.

Another Wikipedia myth has been debunked. The myth is that the American Nazi salute was changed via the action of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Many Americans have been misled by Wikipedia into making that claim. The truth is that there is no evidence that FDR had anything to do with ending the American Nazi salute in the Pledge of Allegiance. FDR just happened to be president at the time that Congress made idiotic forays into the mess. It would make as much sense to claim that FDR promoted the American Nazi salute in that Congress' initial 1942 law retained the extended-arm gesture for the Pledge of Allegiance.

June 3, 1940: In the case of Minersville School District v. Gobitis, the Supreme Court of the United States rules that children can be persecuted if they refuse to chant in worship of government in unison on command daily in government schools (socialist schools).

December 8, 1941 was the date of the US declaration of war, but in fact the US was at war on December 7, 1941 at about 7:55 AM when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. (Hitler declared war
against the US on December 11, 1941, in support of his Axis agreements with Japan).

June 22, 1942: date of enactment of Pub.L. 77-623, 56 Stat. 377, H.J.Res. 303 in which Congress, long after the U.S. entered WWII, began idiotic attempts to dictate and alter the Pledge of Allegiance, yet the alteration retained the extended arm salute that was the origin of the Nazi salute. Section 7 stated: "That the pledge of allegiance to the flag, 'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all', be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart; extending the right hand, palm upward, toward the flag at the words 'to
the flag' and holding this position until the end, when the hand drops to the side. However, civilians will always show full respect to the flag when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention, men removing the headdress. Persons in uniform shall render the military salute." Note that persons in uniform continued to use the military salute, which was the initial salute for the earlier Pledge of Allegiance (as written by Francis
Bellamy in 1892) and which was the source of the Nazi salute when it was extended outward to point at the flag. In practice the second gesture was performed palm-down when the military salute was merely stretched at the flag (see the discoveries of the historian Dr. Rex Curry, author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets").

December 22, 1942: date of enactment of Pub.L. 77-829, 56 Stat. 1074, H.J.Res. 359 which attempted again to alter the Pledge of Allegiance and completely drop the extended arm salute, probably because people continued to perform the American Nazi salute, with the arm straight out and the palm down, as had been the habit for so long. Section 7 stated: "That the pledge of allegiance to the flag, 'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all', be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart. However, civilians will always show full respect to the flag when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention, men removing the headdress. Persons in uniform shall render the military salute. Note that persons in uniform continued to use the military salute, which was the initial salute for the earlier Pledge of Allegiance, and the source of the Nazi salute. Congress' 2nd idiotic attempt to dictate the robotic chanting ritual was ignored by many Americans who continued to perform America's Nazi salute during the pledge.

June 14, 1943: in the case of West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, the Supreme Court of the United States, after Congress had already tried to drop America's Nazi salute, decided to reverse the 1940 Minersville v. Gobitis decision, after the decision had inspired violence and persecution of children (and
parents) for refusing to chant mechanically and perform America's Nazi salute.

Americans did not immediately drop the American Nazi salute in the pledge. The American Nazi salute persisted into the '50s and '60s in some places.
