Stop the totalitarian Pledge of Allegiance
rexitis
government?
Public comments about the pledge court case show that few people know that
the pledge was written in 1892 by a self-proclaimed National Socialist in
the U.S., who wanted government to take over all schools to create an
"industrial army" for totalitarian socialism.
Few people know that the original salute to the flag was like the Nazi
salute and that "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers' Party."
(Eye-popping photos are only at http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge1.html ). An
easy mnemonic device to remember that Nazis were socialists and that "Nazi"
means "National Socialist German Workers' Party" is that the horrid swastika
resembles overlapping "S" shapes for "socialism," and that the Nazis often
used stylized "S" symbolism. (See
http://members.ij.net/rex/swastikanews.html ). Francis Bellamy originated
his salute, and the common claim that the straight-arm salute is a Roman
salute is a myth (http://members.ij.net/rex/pledgesalute.html).
The pledge of allegiance was authored by the self-proclaimed socialist
Francis Bellamy. Bellamy was the first cousin of the socialist Edward
Bellamy. Edward Bellamy's futuristic novel, "Looking Backward," was
published in 1888, and described life in the year 2000. It described a
totalitarian society where all private transactions are outlawed, where the
government places all men in an "industrial army" and where the monolithic
government school system is operated specifically as part of the "industrial
army" system. Of course, all of the preceding was portrayed as a dandy
utopia just as it was portrayed by so many apologists for the industrial
armies of socialist hell-holes worldwide.
The book spawned a socialist movement in the U.S. known as "Nationalism,"
with the Nationalist magazine, and "Nationalist Clubs" whose members wanted
the federal government to nationalize most of the American economy. Francis
Bellamy was a member of this movement and a vice president of its socialist
auxiliary group.
In the original articles about the Pledge of Allegiance, Francis Bellamy
promotes government schools and snipes at the many better alternatives, and
urges that education should come only from government. It is consistent
with the government school monopoly in the book "Looking Backward" and the
"industrial army" promoted by the Bellamys.
Bellamy lived during the time when schools were becoming socialized heavily
in the United States. When the U.S. Constitution was written, children
received private educations (schools are not mentioned in the U.S.
Constitution).
The Government-schools spread and mandated racism and segregation by law and
did so through WWII and well beyond
(http://members.ij.net/rex/stopthepledge4.html).
Edward Bellamy's 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 when they stated that it was matched in influence only by Das
Kapital.
Francis Bellamy lived from 1855 to1931. Edward Bellamy lived from 1850-1898.
Edward Bellamy was spared witnessing the horrors that his socialism caused
to the rest of humanity. Francis Bellamy lived in the U.S. during the first
14 years of mass atrocities under the industrial army of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics. Francis Bellamy might not have known about the horrors
of his socialist ideas in the U.S.S.R. at that time. Francis Bellamy lived
long enough to see a similar salute and philosophy espoused by the
industrial army of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. If Edward
Bellamy's fictional character had awakened in the year 2000 he would have
learned that since 1887 Bellamy's philosophy had set and was holding all the
worst records for shortages, poverty, misery, starvation, atrocities and
mass slaughter.
The socialist Wholecaust occurred under the industrial armies of the
socialist trio of atrocities (see http://members.ij.net/rex/socialists.jpg):
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, 62 million deaths, 1917-'87; the
People's Republic of China, 35 million, 1949-'87; and the National Socialist
German Workers' Party, 21 million, 1933-'45 (numbers from Professor R. J.
Rummel's article in the Encyclopedia of Genocide (1999)).
After the National Socialist German Workers' Party tried to impose socialism
on the world, many U.S. citizens were disturbed by the Pledge's similar
salute and that it was written by a socialist in "Nationalist" groups in the
U.S. Although the salute changed, the pledge remained the same.
There is something more disturbing than all of the above: Most children are
never told any of the preceding history in government schools, even though
there is often a totalitarian-style robotic recital of the pledge as a
collective by children in government schools en masse on cue from the
government every single day.
It is a wonder why anyone recites the Pledge of Allegiance. It is probably
because of rampant ignorance about the Pledge's origin and history.
No one would trust the government to tell you the truth if it ran the
newspapers. Why would anyone expect the government to tell children the
truth in government schools? As Libertarians say: The separation of school
and state is as important as the separation of church and state. And that is
the real solution to the pledge debate and all other school issues: remove
government from education.
