Wikipedia is helping to announce amazing discoveries that first appeared on OpinionEditorials.com in a recent article by the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry.

The Opinion Editorials article explained how the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics followed the lead of the USA in the modern use of the swastika as overlapping "S" letters for "Socialism," adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html

Even Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has publicly noted Dr. Curry's influence on Wikipedia. Some Wikipedia writers use Dr. Curry's work without attribution in apparent attempts to bolster their own credibility.

Dr. Curry's discoveries have changed the way that people think about the swastika. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

Wikipedia is known as an online encyclopedia.  The Wiki article repeats information from the Opinion Editorials article by Dr. Curry under the title "Swastika," with the sub heading "Russia." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Russia

Wikipedia has also helped to spread the news about Dr. Curry's discovery that the USA's early Pledge of Allegiance to the flag (1892) used a straight-arm salute and that the Pledge was the source of the salute of the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP). http://rexcurry.net/wikipedia-the-free-encyclopedia.html

Another Wikipedia article on the "Bellamy salute" references Dr. Curry's work showing that Charles Lindbergh and other Americans were photographed performing the early straight-arm salute to the U.S. flag, and that those photographs were used later to imply cooperation with German National Socialists.
http://rexcurry.net/america-first-committee-charles-lindbergh-wikipedia-org-wiki.html

A photograph of Lindbergh performing the salute is at http://rexcurry.net/america-first-committee-charles-lindbergh.JPG

In his Pulitzer prize winning biography "Lindbergh," author A. Scott Berg also agrees with Dr. Curry's assertion that photographs of Americans performing the early Pledge salute were used to imply cooperation with the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP). It is interesting to note that when the "Lindbergh" biography was written, the author Berg failed to make Dr. Curry's discovery that the American salute was the origin of the German Socialist salute.

The raised-arm salute was created (1892) by an American (Francis Bellamy) who was a self-proclaimed socialist in the Nationalism movement in the USA. It pre-dated the NSGWP by 30 years. The American salute is at http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Amazon.com adopted as its policies recommendations advocated by Dr. Curry and reported in Opinion Editorials.
http://www.opinioneditorials.com/guestcontributors/rcurry_20061027.html

Amazon's web site deletes and discourages use of the common 4-letter shorthand n-word for "National Socialist German Workers' Party" within Amazon's reviews, product information, tags and other uses.  By fighting the shorthand term, Amazon encourages customers to learn and to use the actual accurate name of the monstrous group: National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/amazon-com-book-reviews-tags-discussions.html

For a long time, Dr. Curry has exposed widespread ignorance in the media and in the general public about what the 4-letter abbreviation abbreviates. That etymological ignorance has grown through overuse of the hackneyed shorthand term in print and in government schools (socialist schools).  Dr. Curry advocated that the shorthand term should be avoided, unless it is used in conjunction with the full actual name of the Party. Amazon is helping Dr. Curry to reverse the ignorant habit within the media and the public.

The American socialist Francis Bellamy was cousin and cohort to Edward Bellamy, another famous socialist and the author of the novel "Looking Backward." Edward's book was an international bestseller, translated into every major language (including Russian, German and Chinese). The Bellamy dogma inspired the "Nationalism" movement in the USA, Germany and worldwide. Edward inspired the creation of the Nationalist Party. Edward and Francis supported the Nationalist Magazine, the Nationalist Educational Association, and Nationalist Clubs everywhere.

There may be other parallels with the America First Committee, in that Bellamy nationalists focused on nationalism (“my country over others”), nativism, rabid patriotism (e.g. Pledges of Allegiance in government schools with the original straight-arm salute), a government takeover of schools, and desires for government ownership and control of everything.  They wanted to nationalize everything and they wanted all of society to ape the military and they touted "military socialism" and the "industrial army."  

The Bellamys and the pledge inspired socialists worldwide, and in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 million slaughtered under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million slaughtered under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The American Pledge and salute from Bellamy socialists was the origin of the salutes of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Peoples' Republic of China, and the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and it inspired their robotic chanting and worship of government and flags and symbols in their government schools (socialist schools). http://rexcurry.net/ussr-socialist-swastika-cccp-sssr.html

The National Socialist German Workers' Party clearly patterned itself upon the National Socialism promoted by socialists in the USA during the three decades before the NSGWP existed.

Three decades before the National Socialist German Workers' Party existed, socialists in the USA had promoted National Socialism, the straight-arm salute, collective robotic chanting, and the modern swastika as an "S" symbol for "socialism."
http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html

A Harvard graduate, Ernst Hanfstaengl, personally assisted the leader of the NSGWP in promoting national socialism with more ideas from America.
http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hanfstaengl.html

The USA is still the worst example in the world of bizarre laws that require robotic chanting to a national flag in government schools (socialist schools) every day for 12 years.

The Bellamys promoted a government takeover of schools, the placement of flags at schools, and robotic chanting of the pledge to the flag with the old notorious gesture. When the government granted their wishes, the government schools imposed segregation by law and taught racism as official government policy. The schools mandated the robotic chanting of the pledge with the straight-arm salute and persecuted and expelled children who would not comply, arrested parents, and even took children from parents on allegations of "unfit parenting."  There were acts of violence and lynchings.

The USA still follows similar anti libertarian policies promoted by the Bellamys. Many socialist policies caused the USA's big, expensive, oppressive government, its aggressive military socialism, and its growing police state. It caused the Great Socialist Depression (from the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act 1930 etc) that persisted and even lasted through U.S. involvement in WWII. The Pledge still exists along with laws mandating that teachers lead the robotic chanting every day for twelve years of each child's life (though the salute was altered). The government still owns and operates schools, including the same schools that imposed segregation by law and taught racism as official government policy.  That policy even outlasted the National Socialist German Workers' Party by over 15 years. After segregation in government's schools ended, the Bellamy legacy caused more police-state racism of forced busing that destroyed communities and neighborhoods and deepened hostilities. Those schools still exist.  Infants are given social security numbers (socialist slave numbers from 1935 during the NSGWP) that track and tax everyone for life.  Government schools (socialist schools) demand the numbers for enrollment.

The pledge and the flag have become examples of how dangerous government schools are (and how dangerous government is in general).  The brainwashing ritual has indoctrinated many students of government schools with the national socialist propaganda.

**************************

Alfred Rosenberg was another notorious socialist who was active in Russia (in 1917) and in Germany (in the National Socialist German Workers' Party). The noted historian Dr. Rex Curry has suggested that this may have been the inspiration behind the adoption of the swastika as alphabetic symbolism for "socialism" by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
 
Rosenberg was born to Baltic German parents in Reval (Tallinn) Estonia, then part of the Russian Empire. He studied architecture at the Riga Polyechnical Institute and engineering at Moscow University, completing his Ph.D. studies in 1917.

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, he emigrated to Germany (in 1918) along with his friend Max Scheubner-Richter. Rosenberg was one of the earliest (January 1919) members of the German Workers Party and it became the National Socialist German Workers Party and adopted the swastika as its symbol and used the symbol to represent "S" letters for "socialist." In 1921, Rosenberg became editor of the Völkischer Beobachter ("Folkish Observer"), the newspaper of the National Socialists.

Rosenberg also became a member of the Thule Society, founded August 17, 1918.  Rosenberg and the Thule Society touted oddball ideas about socialism, universal brotherhood, and the Aryan race that were all borrowed from the notorious socialist and occultist Madame Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society, formed in New York in 1875.  The Thule Society used a swastika as its symbol, however the Thule swastika was not the same swastika used by German National Socialists.  The swastika used by German National Socialists was the same swastika that had been used for forty years by Madame Blavatsky as a symbol for her utopian "socialist society." http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html

Thule Society members maintained close contacts with followers of Theosophy and the followers of Helena Blavatsky. It is also interesting to note that the names of both groups had the same "TS" initials that the Theosophical Society had used in its symbolism for decades.

**************************

Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets") has gained a lot of interest from Wikipedia readers regarding Dr. Curry's discovery that the flag used by the National Socialist German Workers' Party (the swastika flag) was altered to incorporate alphabetic symbolism. The swastika, although it was an ancient symbol, was used sometimes by the National Socialist German Workers Party to represent overlapping "S" letters for their "socialism."

The same symbolism is shown in the bizarre signature of the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, which he altered to use the same stylized "S" letter for "socialist"; He turned the symbol 45 degrees to the horizontal and oriented it in the S direction; and similar alphabetic symbolism was used for the "SS" Division and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens.

The flag salute under German National Socialists originated from the USA's early Pledge of Allegiance. The original pledge began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by disinterested children perfunctorily performing the forced ritual chanting by extending the initial military salute, as shown by Professor Curry. Due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the hard, stylized salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP). The NSGWP salute is an extended military salute via the USA's pledge.

Dr. Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets") helped to establish that it was not an ancient Roman salute, and that the "ancient Roman salute" is a modern myth that grew during and after the lives of Edward Bellamy (1850-1898) and Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) listings for the phrase "Roman salute" support Dr. Curry's discoveries. The Roman myth grew in many ways, including the use of the USA's pledge salute in early movies showing fictional Roman scenes. The myth is still repeated in efforts to cover-up Dr. Curry's discoveries.
