Pledge of Allegiance was origin of Nazi salute & flag fanaticism
Edward Bellamy
(and many others photographs on the same web site that archives the work of
the documentarian Dr. Rex Curry ) illustrates a difference between the
Pledge of Allegiance in the past and in the present. In the past, there was
time when the flag and pledge occurred outside, and no flag was inside the
classroom(s). That practice emphasized the militaristic nature of the dogma
touted by Edward Bellamy (author of "Looking Backward") and his cousin and
cohort Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance"). The Bellamy
cousins called their scheme "military socialism." Under the old pledge
ritual children either 1) assembled and waited outside before school began,
enduring injurious weather, until the forced ritual chanting was led by the
teacher, or 2) they entered the school and then, at a designated time, they
marched outside into injurious weather.

It is difficult to say whether a common modern practice is better or worse:
there is often a flag in EVERY classroom. State government dictates the
expenditure and the size of the federal flags and their ubiquitous
placement. The omnipresent flag is viewed all the time by all children. It
still looks backward to many. The orwellian ritual then occurs via a barking
or pre-recorded voice over an intercom, often accompanied by martial music
and even bizarre video piped over school televisions.
The pledge tracks the book "1984" by George Orwell (1949). Orwell describes
a government that uses these slogans: Freedom is Slavery; War is Peace;
Ignorance is Strength. The government bamboozled Americans into believing
that collective robotic chanting in government schools daily is a beautiful
expression of freedom. Chanters let the catch-phrase "with liberty and
justice for all" delude them from the totalitarian reality of the behavior.
Government schools maintain strength by maintaining ignorance about the
pledge's true history. Wars over the pledge coincide with never-ending wars
abroad under Bellamy's military socialism in the USA.

Ouch. This goes into the "I-don't-know-whether-to-laugh-or-cry-or-both"
file. See the video on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
Perhaps, during the rise of the National Socialist German Workers Party,
each American child began to put his left index finger under his nose while
performing the American "Nazi" salute and chanting mechanically in unison,
and thereafter goose-stepping into the school house. Francis Bellamy was
alive during the rise of the National Socialist German Workers Party. What
did Francis Bellamy think about his pledge and it's salute, in view of the
fact that Francis Bellamy also promoted socialism in the Nationalist
movement?

Nazi salutes are more accurately identified as American salutes (used
in the early Pledge of Allegiance three decades before it was adopted
by the National Socialist German Workers Party). It was created and
promoted by National Socialists in the USA (e.g. Francis Bellamy &
Edward Bellamy). The Bellamys and their cohorts influenced the
dogma, symbols and rituals of German National Socialists.

Today, Americans are persecuted for performing the early American
salute. They are persecuted in ways that are similar to how Americans
are
persecuted for refusing to perform the current American salute and the
Pledge of
Allegiance (especially children persecuted in government schools /
socialist schools). http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg
Here is a video of someone being persecuted for the American salute.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2487274467636094262
The incident resulted in litigation that went to the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals. http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/view_subpage.php?pk_id=0000003646
The blogger Becky Johnson discusses it at
http://beckyjohnsononewomantalking.blogspot.com
That blog utilized the tags David Beauvais, Kate Wells, Scott Kennedy,
Tim Fitzmaurice, Robert Norse, Nazi Salute.
It would be funny if the fellow how performed the gesture argued that
to the Court (that he is being persecuted for the early American
salute),
however he is probably ignorant of it. However, the 9th Circuit is not
ignorant of it because they have a brief by the Attorney and historian
Dr. Rex
Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets") in the case of
Michael
Newdow v. Carey that is currently before the 9th, and that brief is
visible
online. That brief explains the early American salute.

http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-newdow-rio-linda.pdf
Also, the US Supreme Court is aware of it due to an Amicus Brief filed
by the same attorney. Some Supreme Court Justices are old enough to
have
performed the early American stiff-arm salute while attending
government schools that imposed segregation by law and taught racism
as official
policy. If Supreme Court justices were in the Boy Scouts or Girl
Scouts then they might have spent time traveling the glove, waiving
flags,
chanting robotically, performing America's Nazi salute and wearing and
spreading the swastika symbol . All decades before the Nazis adopted
the same
behavior.

It was part of the dogma of Edward Bellamy, the author who wrote the
notorious novel "Looking Backward," first published in 1888. It was
because
of the dogma Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy that Bellamy Clubs
spread
and many utopian/dystopian communities started, including that under
the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (~60 million slaughtered), the
National
Socialist German Workers Party (~20 million), and the Peoples' Repubic
of
China (~50 million). These national activities were dedicated to the
spreading of ideas using socialism, Marxism and Christianity together.
Also the fellow in the video performed it wrong anyway, with his left
arm.
