AMERICAN PHILOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION APA Philologer Dr. Rex Curry Philologist ANCENT ROMAN SALUTE Philology
A lot of fascinating research examines philology: the study of literary texts and civilizations, often concentrating on Rome and Greece. Some researchers examine the influence of Rome upon American government and society, and they fear the totalitarian system that led to Rome's downfall. Those worries have relevance today in the enormous size and scope of government in the USA and its growing police state. http://rexcurry.net/american-philological-association-apa.html

Dr. Rex Curry has given the field of philology amazing recent discoveries. Recently, the noted philologer Dr. Curry proved that the so-called "ancient Roman salute" (the straight-arm salute later used by the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP)) did not exist in ancient Rome and that it originated in the USA's early Pledge of Allegiance (1892).  Philologist Dr. Curry (the "Libertarian Lawyer") showed that the USA's early pledge of allegiance to the flag used a straight-arm salute and it was the source of the salute of the monstrous German National Socialists. 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).  The myth is still repeated in efforts to cover-up Dr. R. Curry's ground-breaking work. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Information from the American Philological Association (APA) supports Doctor Curry's work. The American Philological Association (APA), founded in 1869 by "professors, friends, and patrons of linguistic science," is now the principal learned society in North America for the study of ancient Greek and Roman languages, literatures, and civilizations.

An abstract from the APA states that the raised-arm salute was used in fictional Roman scenes in these films: the American "Ben-Hur" (1907), the Italian "Nerone" (1908), "Spartaco" (1914), and "Cabiria" (1914).  Those scenes helped lead to the "Roman salute" myth.  Doctor R. Curry pointed out that the APA abstract was uninformed about the fact that the Pledge of Allegiance pre-dated all of the films cited and that the pledge was the source of the salute used in the films.

The leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party was a film fan, and would specifically order American films to view. He stated that the first time he saw the straight-arm salute he was in a beer hall. Films were often shown in beer halls.

More support for Doctor Rex Curry's work also comes from the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). http://rexcurry.net/roman-salute-oxford-english-dictionary.html

Amazon.com is following policy recommendations that are advocated by Dr. Curry. 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 (NSGWP). http://rexcurry.net/amazon-com-book-reviews-tags-discussions.html

For a long time, Dr. R. 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).  Doctor Curry has 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. R. Curry to reverse the ignorant habit within the media and the public.

Many books about philology mention the work of the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. In 1873, he excavated what he believed to be Troy. Troy is a legendary city, described in the Iliad, one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer and it influenced Rome.

Schleimann found examples of the swastika symbol during his exploration of Troy, and his discovery later influenced the use of the symbol in the NSGWP.  Over a century after Schleimann’s work, there was another discovery by Professor Curry: Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, it was also used sometimes by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party to represent meshed "S" letters for their "socialism." The leader of German National Socialists turned the symbol 45 degrees to the horizontal and oriented it to always point clockwise. Although it was an ancient symbol, was used sometimes by the German National Socialists to represent overlapping S-shaped figures for their "socialism." He altered his own signature to use the same symbolism and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens.  Similar to a Roman Standard, he put it on the national flag and turned it into a military rallying point. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

The symbol was used in a war worse than a thousand Trojan Wars.  In 1939, the National Socialist German Workers' Party joined with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to invade Poland in a pact to divide up Europe.  The socialist philosophy had similarities to Rome in glorifying the military, authoritarianism, slavery and conquest and it led to the worst slaughter of humanity ever.  How many people died in the Trojan War?  Few compared to the number killed in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (62 million dead), the Peoples' Republic of China (49 million dead), the National Socialist German Workers' Party (21 million dead).

Many books attribute large Roman influence upon Germany and the United States. One parallel between the three is that they both developed large authoritarian governments. The present government in the USA is anti libertarian and is out-socializing the previous administration by more than double and growing (in social spending ALONE).

Another parallel between Germany and Rome is that they both persecuted people who did not adopt the official dogma. Specific groups of people were persecuted in Rome and Germany. 

It helps to show how close the USA moved toward (and is still moving toward) the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part). Many Americans serve as sad examples of how authoritarian governments come into existence, grow so large, last so long, and kill so many. The dogma of socialism and human sacrifice is still growing all over the world.

The USA still follows similar anti libertarian policies promoted by the Bellamys. Many socialist Bellamy policies caused the USA’s big, expensive and oppressive government 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 pledge 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.  The U.S. practice of imposing segregation by law in government schools and teaching racism as official 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) that track and tax them for life.  Government schools demand the numbers for enrollment.

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

The original Pledge of Allegiance began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. Historic photographs are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html   In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children extending the military salute while perfunctorily performing the forced ritual chanting.  Professor Curry showed that, due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the hard, stylized salute of German socialists. The Nazi salute is an extended military salute via the pledge. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of the novel "Looking Backward") and Charles Bellamy (author of "A Moment of Madness") and Frederick Bellamy (who introduced Edward to socialistic "Fourierism") were socialists.  Edward, Charles and Frederick were brothers, and Francis was their cousin. Francis and Edward were both self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism" movement in the USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, and the "Nationalist Educational Association." They wanted to nationalize everything and they wanted all of society to ape the military and they touted "military socialism" and the "industrial army."  Edward inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists worldwide (including Germany) via “Nationalist Clubs.”   http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-german-connections.html  The Pledge was the origin of the Nazi salute. "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers' Party." A mnemonic device is the swastika. Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Professor Curry discovered that it was also used sometimes by German National Socialists to represent "S" letters for their "socialism."  Curry changed the way that people view the symbol of the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party. Hitler altered his own signature to use the same stylized "S" letter for "socialist" and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

The Bellamys promoted a government takeover of schools.  When the government granted their wish, 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 Nazi-style salute and persecuted and expelled children who would not comply, arrested parents, and even took children from parents on allegations of "unfit parenting."

For civilians, the swastika symbol became the worship of government and socialism. A bias of authors about Rome is that they use the misleading term swastika when discussing the symbol found by Schleimann and used by German socialists. Most people do not know that a cross was worshiped as the notorious symbol of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The group called their symbol the Hakenkreuz, not the swastika. Hakenkreuz means "hooked cross."  It is one of the biggest cover-ups of all time.

Another big cover-up is in overuse of the hackneyed shorthand term for the horrid National Socialist German Workers’ Party.  Some authors overuse the short word so much that it might cause one to wonder if they know what the abbreviation abbreviates.  They seem unaware that Party members did not refer to themselves by the shorthand term, but they referred to themselves as socialists.

In the book "Swastika the earliest known symbol and its migrations" by Thomas Wilson (published in 1894 at page 771) Professor Max Muller cautioned against the use of the term "swastika" and said "I do not like the use of the word svastika outside of India.  It is a word of Indian origin and has its history and definite meaning in India. * * * The occurrence of such crosses in different parts of the world may or may not point to a common origin, but if they are once called Svastika the vulgus profanum will at once jump to the conclusion that they all come from India, and it will take some time to weed out such prejudice." Muller's prediction was amazingly accurate, and it is amusing that he labeled so many people in the world today as "vulgus profanum." 

The USA still follows similar anti libertarian policies promoted by the Bellamys. Many socialist Bellamy policies caused the USA’s big, expensive and oppressive government and its growing police-state. The Pledge still exists along with laws mandating that teachers lead the robotic pledge 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.  The U.S. practice of imposing segregation by law in government schools and teaching racism as official 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 that track and tax them for life.  Government schools demand the numbers for enrollment.

People who attended government schools in the USA are shocked to learn of the new discoveries, and they have difficulty responding in a rational manner. They are humiliated and embarrassed that they have been kept ignorant by government schools and even lied to while being led in robotic chanting for 12 years.  The stereotypical response  involves a state of denial where the respondent can formulate no factual dispute (a mental block-out of the factual history) and only childish insults that evade the topic altogether. It shows how conditioned US citizens are by the years of robotic chanting.  Some US citizens are not able to face the reality of the history of the pledge. The pledge has become an example of how dangerous government schools are.  The pledge is a primary justification for ending government schools.  As the saying goes "remove the pledge from the flag, the flag from the schools, and the schools from government."
