The USA's Pledge of Allegiance (& the military salute) was
the origin of Adolf Hitler's "Nazi" salute under the
National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis).
http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html
The salute / gesture resulted from the military
salute extended outward to point at the flag. It was NOT an
ancient Roman salute (a debunked myth).
The swastika, although an ancient symbol, was also used to
represent "S" letters joined for "socialism"
under the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis), similar
to the alphabetical symbolism for the SS Division, the SA, the
NSV, and the VW logo (the letters "V" and "W"
joined for "Volkswagen").
http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a1.html
Francis Bellamy & Edward Bellamy touted National Socialism
and the police state in the USA decades before their dogma was
exported to Germany. They influenced the NSDAP, its dogma, symbols
and rituals. http://rexcurry.net/police-state.html
Swastikas and the KKK are scary reminders of tattooing that was
forced upon people persecuted under German National Socialism. It
is still related to the "Socialist Slavery" symbolized
by the overlapping S-letters of the swastika under the National
Socialist German Workers Party.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html
Symbols
in the Ku Klux Klan ( KKK ) often use religious images, swastikas
(the hooked cross) and symbols from the National Socialist German
Workers Party or from Christian Socialism. Learn more at

The
white-hooded knights of the fiery cross have been the subject of a
lot of research, some focusing on the influence of religion,
socialism, and Christian Socialism in the group and in government.
Much of the work expresses worries of a future filled with religious
persecution and totalitarianism. Those worries have relevance to the
enormous size and scope of government in the USA and its growing
police state.
http://rexcurry.net/kkk-ku-klux-klan-christian-socialism.html
The
self-proclaimed Knights may be America's most notorious secret
society. The 3K's began in 1866 to resist the U.S. federal
government's growing police state, military occupation, martial law,
carpetbaggers, and scalawags, after the war of northern aggression
against southern independence. The group often opposed taxation and
the nationalization of education because Lincoln’s party, the
Republican Party, consisted of profligate taxers and spenders, just
it does today.
Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest was
the first Grand Wizard, disbanding the group three years later
because of its increasingly violent actions against blacks. The group
ended in the 1870's.
In 1915, a second distinct group using
the same name was born at Stone Mountain, Georgia, inspired by the
film The Birth of a Nation. The second Klavern group had a formal
membership organization, with a national and state structure, that
paid thousands of men to organize local chapters all over the
country. Millions joined and, at its peak in the 1920s, the
organization included about 15% of the nation's eligible
population.
Members of the clan are often shown in old and new
photographs performing a straight-arm salute to the flag of the
United States or to the Christian Cross (or the "Fiery Cross").
The photographs are shown with the erroneous implication that K3
adopted the salute from the National Socialist German Workers' Party
(NSGWP). http://rexcurry.net/kkk-ku-klux-klan2.jpg
The
raised-arm salute originated in the U.S. in the early Pledge of
Allegiance to the U.S. flag and it was the origin of the salute of
the German National Socialists, as shown in recent discoveries by the
historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance
Secrets"). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
The Pledge began in 1892, so members of the Ku Klux Klan grew
up in government schools where they were forced to perform the
stiff-armed salute and hypnotic chanting daily for 12 years. It was
the religion of the state, the cult of the omnipotent state.
In
1925, the KKK endorsed the raised-arm gesture as it had been adopted
by the 1924 Flag Day Conference for the "flag code." The
KKK used the gesture and taught it to members.
The USA used
the straight arm salute to the national flag for three decades before
German National Socialists started doing the same thing. It is
more accurate to say that the NSGWP was influenced by socialists in
the U.S. and within the hooded group. See the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
When
the leader of German National Socialism died he possessed at his
bedside rows of books by his favorite author, Karl May, a German who
was famous for writing about the USA. The NSGWP leader even emulated
May's signature.
http://rexcurry.net/karl-may-adolf-hitler-swastika-kkk-ku-klux-klan.html
The straight-arm salute was created (1892) by Francis
Bellamy, a minister who lost his position because he used the pulpit
to push what he called "Christian Socialism" in sermons on
themes like "Jesus the Socialist."
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-jesus-the-socialist.html
Francis
was cousin and cohort to Edward Bellamy, author of "Looking
Backward" an international bestseller that was known as the
Bible of National Socialism. Edward also authored "The
Religion of Solidarity" and other articles and books with
similar ideas.
They called their dogma "Military
Socialism" because they admired the military and wanted all of
society to emulate the military system to create an army of God as an
industrial army.
Both Bellamys worked together to promote
Christian Socialism and Military Socialism and they wanted the
government to take over all schools to spread their dogma and create
their Army of the Lord. It was consistent with the insertion of
"Under God" in the Pledge by the Knights of Columbus.
When
the government granted their wish, the government's schools imposed
segregation by law and taught racism as official policy.
Coupled with the stiff-arm salute, government in the USA provided a
horrid example to German National Socialists for three decades before
the NSGWP began. The 3K's are sometimes called a terrorist
group but, in light of the above, is the government a terrorist group
also?
The Bellamys and the clan supported government schools
for the same reason. They were on a crusade for conformity. They
called it "Americanism" or "Hooded Americanism."
They were bigoted, racist, sexist, narrow-minded and they obsessed
about immigrants and people of other religions. They wanted to
weed out individuality and differences and they wanted to make
everyone the same.
People were persecuted for refusing to
chant mechanically each day and give the straight-arm salute to the
national flag. That persecution occurred in the USA (to the stars and
stripes) and in Germany (to the swastika flag) at the same time,
although it started in the USA first. Today, most people in the USA
were educated in government schools (socialist schools), so they are
ignorant of the fact that it was happening in both Germany and the
USA.
Children of various races and backgrounds attended
government schools that were segregated by law and they were forced
to perform the straight-arm salute in robotic chanting every morning
at the ring of a government bell (just as it is done today but with a
different gesture).
Many people marveled at Adolf Hilter's
"hypnotic" powers of propaganda, as if he was the first of
his kind as head of the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Adolf Hitler's propaganda had already been pioneered by Francis
Bellamy, Edward Bellamy and American socialists. Francis Bellamy's
original Columbus Day program was a blueprint of nationwide
propaganda for socialism in government schools. They put
government flags over schools, in classrooms and everywhere.
Edward
Bellamy and Francis Bellamy even put flags (and chanting to flags) in
churches in another eerie parallel followed later by Adolf Hitler.
Many people considered the raised-arm salute to the national
flag to be sacrilegious worship of government and socialism.
Religious people had good reasons to consider the pledge / salute to
be sacrilegious, in that Germans used the ritual toward their flag,
the swastika flag, which the Germans did not call a swastika flag.
Germans called their symbol a Hakenkreuz, not a swastika. Hakenkreuz
means "hooked cross."
Most people do not know that
a cross was worshiped as the notorious symbol of the National
Socialist German Workers' Party. It is one of the biggest cover-ups
in history. The hooked cross became a symbol of Christian
Socialism.
In the USA the hooked cross was a common symbol and
was referred to as a cross (armed cross, twisted cross, lucky cross,
crooked cross, hooked cross) before "swastika" became
dominant. The eventual dominance of "swastika" occurred in
part to distance the cross from German Christian Socialism, by
slandering a foreign symbol ("Swastika" is Sanskrit, not
German).
Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, the
noted cryptographer and symbologist Dr. Rex Curry (author of
"Swastika Secrets") discovered that it was also used
sometimes by German National Socialists to represent "S"
letters for their "socialism."
http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg
With
a 45 degree turn of his Hakenkreuz, and by pointing new uses
clockwise, the leader of German National Socialists highlighted the
"S" shapes to combine the cross with collectivism, merge
church and state, mesh religion and socialism, and mandate the
worship of government. He altered his own signature to use the same
symbolism and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on
Volkswagens.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html
Support
for Dr. Curry's work comes from other authors who believe the
Holocaust under the National Socialist German Workers Party was an
inquisition (including religious persecution) undertaken by the
leader of German National Socialism under his religious and racial
beliefs.
The Bellamy book "Looking Backward" was so
popular that it was translated into every major language, including
German, Russian, and Chinese. It immediately inspired a
supportive political movement with “Nationalism Clubs”
worldwide.
The
Bellamy dogma was popular in the U.S. and worldwide, influencing
people living in the countries of the socialist Wholecaust (of which
the Holocaust was a part): 65 million slaughtered under the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR); 49 million under the Peoples'
Republic of China (PRC); 21 million under the National Socialist
German Workers' Party (NSGWP). Their satanic leaders would not
separate church and state, they combined religion with socialism, and
they worshipped government. In 1939 the National Socialist German
Workers' Party and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics joined as
allies to invade Poland in a pact to divide up Europe. After WWII,
Stalin and Mao went on to kill even more people.
http://rexcurry.net/wholecaust-museum.html
It
all shows how close the USA came (and is still coming) to the
socialist Wholecaust. Many Americans are sad examples of how places
like that come into existence, grow so large, last so long, and kill
so many.
Historians make their work relevant to current
events. Such stories are relevant to the fact that 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). Today, the government constantly increases the
nationalization of education, and government involvement at all
levels. The dogma of socialism and self-sacrifice is still growing
all over the world.
Sinclair Lewis said, “When fascism comes to America, it
will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.” It would be
equally accurate to say that "When fascism/socialism came to
America, it was wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross." The
Nazis were actually the "National Socialist German Workers
Party." The author of the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag
was a socialist who advocated "military socialism" and
"christian socialism" and he was a defrocked preacher
because of sermons on topics such as "Jesus the socialist."
Fascism is socialism http://rexcurry.net/fascism=socialism.html
The National Socialist German Workers Party (NSGWP)
called its symbol a Hakenkreuz (hooked cross), not a swastika. The
NSGWP was not the first group to turn a cross into a symbol of death
and execution.
One of many different legends has it that the
Roman emporer Constantine claimed to have a vision before a battle in
which he saw a cross as a sword and the words "In this sign
conquer" (In hoc signo vinces or IHS). Constantine instructed
his men to fashion a sword in the form of a cross and it was carried
into victorious battle. It is known as "Constantine's
Sword." Thus the cross, a form of execution and death before
Constantine, was transformed into another form of execution and death
under Constantine.
Constantine banned the use of crucifixion
as a means of exexution in 337 A.D. Although a person would not be
killed on a cross, he could be killed or decapitated with a
cross-shaped sword. He could also be impaled, which duplicated
characteristics of crucifixion: slow agonizing death, and display of
the victim to others as a form of terrorisim or warning. There are
persuasive arguments that impalement was worse than crucifixion.
It
might have been under Constantine that the cross became popularized
as a symbol of Christianity. Before the cross, the common symbols of
Christianity included a fish, a lamb, and a shepherd.
The
term crucifix means a cross with a person crucified upon it. The term
cross means that no crucified person is displayed.
The
crucifix and the cross spread, even as modern jewelry. It is
interesting to note that after the guillotine was invented, jewelry
(including earrings) were made in the form of miniature guillotines,
in a fashion that is similar to modern jewelry in the form of small
crosses and crucifixes, also tools of execution similar to the
guillotine).
If Jesus had been executed via guillotine or
lethal injection, would people wear miniature guillotines and
hypodermic needles on necklaces?
When did the cross or
crucifix come to be used as jewelry? It might be possible to discover
by examining old art for representations of people wearing
jewelry.
Thanks
to capitalism, metal knives (and forks) are abundant in capitalist
countries where they are commonly used for dining. Machines spit out
knives by the millions. That is not the case in anti-capitalist
countries where people continue to eat with their hands or with
wooden utensils to shovel food into their mouths. The lack of
affordable metal utensils was the case in history, too (some places
today have not progressed from historic conditions).
Capitalism feeds the world, libertarians say. And it feeds
the world with classy flatware.
As metallic knives became
more affordable, people began to use them for everyday dining. Even
so, a lucky trendsetter might own a single knife to use for eating.
Cutlery would not be provided to diners in town or while traveling.
Diners had to bring their own. And there were times, and places,
where the knives continued to be rare and desired. It was not
something to be left upon a table in a lodging.
One place to
keep a smaller knife used for dining was on a chain hung around the
neck. Some of those knives resembled crosses, of course.
Such
knives were eventually accompanied by forks and spoons, on the same
chain.
Today, there continue to be cross-knives on necklaces.
Here are images of some
-
Some
people describe the American flag and the Pledge of Allegiance in
terms that invoke crucifixes and death. Here is a comment from a
grandmother about a law requiring tiny children to robotically chant
the Pledge of Allegiance daily in government schools: “They
should have to say the pledge of allegiance to the flag. That’s
what soldiers died for and still do.”
Crusades were not
just about killing muslims. Crusades were about killing anyone
who was not a christian (that included the slaughter of Hebrews).
In
1930 Adolf Hitler spoke about the relationship of the cross and the
hooked cross (swastika) to his dogma of Socialism -
„Und
wenn mir so mancher sagt: Wie können Sie Ihr heidnisches Zeichen
diesem Kampf vorantragen, wo doch das Christenkreuz allein berufen
ist, diesen Kampf zu führen? Dann sage ich: Dieses Zeichen
richtet sich etwa nicht gegen das Christenkreuz, im Gegenteil, es ist
die politische Auswirkung dessen, was das Christentum tatsächlich
will und wollen muss. Denn endlich kann man doch nicht den Kampf, den
z. B. das Zentrum führt oder die Bayerische Volkspartei,
als den Kampf des christlichen Kreuzes bezeichnen! […] Gewiss
müsste unser christliches Kreuz das hehrste Symbol des Kampfes
gegen den jüdisch-marxistischen-bolschewistischen Geist sein.
[…] Aber dann dürften nicht Parteien, die mit dem
Marxismus, mit dem Atheismus, ja mit dem in der verfeinerten Form
sich darstellenden Bolschewismus paktieren, das Christuskreuz als ihr
Parteizeichen reklamieren.“
–
Institut für Zeitgeschichte – Hitler IV, 1, S. 33
A rough google translation-
"And if some
tells me so: How can you sign your heathen shall forward this fight,
although the Christians cross alone is called to lead this fight?
Then I say: This character is not about Christians against the cross,
on the contrary, it is the political impact of what Christianity
really want and want to be. Because finally, you can not fight, for
example, the center or the Bavarian People's Party, as the struggle
of the Christian Cross call! [...] Of course, our Christian Cross
hehrste the symbol of the struggle against the
Jewish-Marxist-Bolshevik spirit be. [...] But it should not be
parties to the Marxism with atheism, so in accordance with the
refined form performing Bolshevism pact, the Cross of Christ as their
party symbol complain. " - Institute of Contemporary History
- Hitler IV, 1, p. 33
Here is another translation sent in by a
reader (thanks!): "And if some people tell me: How can you
carry your heathen symbol forward in this fight, although the
Christians cross alone is called to lead this fight? Then I say: This
sign is not against the Christian cross, on the contrary, it is the
political impact of what Christianity really wants and has to want.
Because finally, the fight of the center or the bavarian people's
party can not be called a fight of the Christian cross. Of course,
our Christian Cross should be the most precious symbol of the fight
against against the Jewish-Marxist-Bolshevik spirit."

Publicity stunt or not, I have deeper questions about the
common practice of high-ranking politicians visiting disaster
scenes. What does it say about Americans that we draw
comfort from visits of a Governor or a President? Are we so
dependent upon the state that we can't get our lives back to
normal unless government is involved? Is our vision of heads
of states so distorted that we perceive them to be demigods whose
touch or even presence strengthens our powers and enriches our
lives? It's unsettling to witness the cult of personality
that surrounds nearly all politicians above the level of
sewer-board members.

"Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the
Madness of Crowds" was written by Charles Mackay in 1841.
It is a worthwhile chronicle (through the mid-nineteenth century) of
mankind’s periodic collapses into mass-mindedness.
It
is a common mistake for people to assume that religious faith and
fervor are qualities to be found only within
institutionally-structured churches with formal doctrines and
rituals. They are to be found, in varying degrees, within all belief
systems, be they secular or theistic in nature. The philosophy of
socialism is grounded in a faith and has produced many popular
delusions. True-believers who voiced doubt have been subjected (in
greater numbers) to inquisitions and purges as enthusiastically
conducted as medieval trials for heresy.
The phrase "under God," though not
in the original Pledge, was in the original Pledge program. The
phrase was used by Bellamy in the accompanying article promoting
his totalitarian society of "Christian socialism." It
was a discovery by the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge
of Allegiance Secrets").
The first website to publish Francis Bellamy's
"Address for Columbus Day" (1892) entitled "The
Meaning of the Four Centuries" which accompanied the
first publication of Bellamy's original Pledge of Allegiance to
the flag in the "Youth's Companion" magazine was
RexCurry.net at http://rexcurry.net/pledgespeech.html
When Bellamy wrote "liberty and justice for
all" he meant the liberty to have government schools impose
prayer and Bible reading and worship (which they did), and the
justice of Christian Socialism that was Bellamy's dogma. Francis
was a leader in the Society of Christian Socialists and that is
the dogma that schools brainwashed into children as he advocated
the government takeover of all schools.
http://rexcurry.net/francis%20bellamy.jpg
When
Bellamy said later that his Pledge "....began as an intensive
communing with salient points of our national history, from the
Declaration of Independence onwards; with the makings of the
Constitution...with the meaning of the Civil War; with the
aspiration of the people..." he meant that his Christian
Socialism dogma was one of the "salient points of our
national history" and "the aspirations of the people."
Edward Bellamy and
Francis Bellamy even put flags (and chanting to flags) in churches
in another eerie parallel followed later by Adolf Hitler.
All of the above occurred during a time when (and
this was known by Bellamy) government schools imposed particular
forms of daily group-prayer and Bible-reading, soon to be
supplemented by Bellamy's proposal for mechanical chanting to the
flag. Francis Bellamy is not known to have ever objected to
such practices. An objection would not have been in consistent
with his personal beliefs, and hi general attitude about
government schools and
indoctrination. http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-the-religion-of-solidarity.html
At that time, government schools also imposed
segregation by law and taught racism as official policy. Francis
Bellamy is not known to have objected to those practices either.

With God on Our Side: One Man's War Against an Evangelical Coup
in America's Military by Michael L. Weinstein
Military
Socialism or Christian Socialism or both? With God on Our
Side: One Man's War Against an Evangelical Coup in America's
Military is a great book by Michael L. Weinstein. One criticism is
that he uses the F-word to label the political dogma and the
behavior of religious oppressors in the military, and in
describing how they use patriotism, the Pledge of Allegiance, and
the Star Spangled Banner in their misdeeds. He seems to be unaware
of the S-word: Christian Socialism and Military Socialism. The
Pledge of Allegiance was written (1892) by Francis Bellamy, a
self-proclaimed Christian Socialist, who touted Military
Socialism. Francis Bellamy did not use the other "ism"
(the F-word) as a self-description. Francis used the S-word
(socialism) as a self-description. The book could use some
updating with more historical information about the topic
addressed. For example, the Pledge was the origin of the stiff-arm
salute that was adopted later by the National Socialist German
Workers Party. An early salute for the Pledge of Allegiance was
the straight-arm salute. The Pledge began with a military salute
that was then extended out toward the flag. In practice the second
gesture was performed palm down. Francis Bellamy was the author of
the Pledge (1892) and cousin to Edward Bellamy, author of an
international bestseller that launched the nationalism movement.
Edward's book was translated into every major language, including
German. Francis and Edward were both self-proclaimed socialists in
the Nationalism movement and they promoted military socialism.
They wanted government to take over all schools and impose robotic
chanting to flags. When the government granted their wish,
government schools imposed segregation by law and taught racism as
official policy. That behavior even outlasted German National
Socialism. The Pledge's early right-arm salute was not an ancient
Roman salute, and the 'ancient Roman salute' myth came from the
Pledge. In addition to the notorious salute, American socialists
(e.g. Edward Bellamy teamed with the Theosophical Society) also
bear some blame for the notorious symbol usd by the National
Socialist German Workers Party on its flag. While Edward and the
Theosophical Society worked together, the same symbol was used by
the Society. It was used as alphabetical symbolism for socialism,
and adopted later by German socialists as their flag symbol.
Although an ancient symbol, it was altered for use as overlapping
S-letters for 'socialism.' It was deliberately turned 45 degrees
counter clockwise and always oriented in the S-direction. Similar
alphabetic symbolism is still visible as Volkswagen logos. People
were persecuted for refusing to perform robotic chanting to the
national flag at the same time in the USA and Germany (to the
American flag, and to the German symbol flag). Most of the above
are modern discoveries (do a web search for "stop the
pledge") by a different writer, Dr. Rex Curry (America's
leading authority on the Pledge of Allegiance, and the author of
"Pledge of Allegiance Secrets").
April
26, 1995 at Supreme Court oral arguments. Contrary to his
customary silence on the bench, Justice Clarence Thomas asked a
series of questions in the case of Capitol
Square Review & Advisory Board v. Pinette
(1995).
The
case was became a landmark in the Court’s
establishment-clause jurisprudence. Justice Thomas’
questions took an entirely different path, noting that the "cross"
displayed on public property that had raised the topic of
"separation of church and state" was actually the
flaming symbol of the Ku Klux Klan, and not a religious symbol at
all. He pursued this line of questioning in his own short
concurring opinion, noting "that the Klan had a primarily
nonreligious purpose in erecting the cross." "The Klan
simply has appropriated one of the most sacred of religious
symbols as a symbol of hate," he continued. For Justice
Thomas, this suggested "that [the] case may not have truly
involved the Establishment Clause" at all.
Thomas
opined that the lower courts, and ultimately the Supreme Court,
had treated a Ku Klux Klan case as a religious
establishment-clause case. Justice Thomas was not willing to let
the point go unremarked.
The
leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSGWP) was
believed to be of Christian faith by many people. He was influenced
by the Christian Social movement and its founder Karl Lueger, after
Luerger's rise to power in Vienna in 1897. Vienna mayor Karl
Lueger was credited in 'Mein Kampf' as a role model and inspirational
figure to the leader of the NSGWP. The book Culture and Political
Crisis in Vienna : Christian Socialism in Power, 1897-1918 is by
John W. Boyer and he traces the movement's evolution from a dissident
political group of disparate ward politicians, through its maturation
into the largest single party in the Austrian parliament by 1907, to
its major role in Imperial politics during the First World War.
In
the historic film "Triumph of the Will," the leader of the
National Socialist German Workers' Party states: "The Party will
be like a religious order."
The Protestant Reich Church
was formed by under the National Socialist German Worker's Party in
1933, by merging 29 regional churches into one church. The founding
of the church was the result of work by the German Christian
Socialists.
During the war, Alfred Rosenberg drew up a
thirty-point program for a new "National Reich Church." One
point declared that the "Hakenkreuz" (hooked cross or
swastika) would be the type of cross used in the Church.
In
his book The Holy Reich (NSGWP Conceptions of Christianity,
1919-1945) Richard Steigmann-Gall argues persuasively that the the
National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP) did not reject
Christianity.
Many people marveled
at Adolf Hilter's "hypnotic" powers of propaganda, as if
he was the first of his kind as head of the National Socialist
German Workers Party. Adolf Hitler's propaganda had already been
pioneered by Francis Bellamy, Edward Bellamy and American
socialists. Francis Bellamy's original Columbus Day program was a
blueprint of nationwide propaganda for socialism in government
schools. They put government flags over schools, in
classrooms and everywhere.
They
even put flags (and chanting to flags) in churches in another
eerie parallel followed later by socialists in Germany.
Joseph Goebbels, for whom the
“socialism” in National Socialism was of particular
importance, was a notable example in this regard.
Sacrifice
is intrinsic to socialism.
Goebbels’ reference to
“Christ Socialists” (Christussozialisten) as opposed to
“Christian Socialists” (Christliche Sozialisten)
emphasizes the nearly evangelical nature of the struggle: An
unadulterated return to Christ’s teachings, free of the
temporal church, is the only way to German salvation. “The
modern man is intrinsically a seeker of God, perhaps a Christman....
We modern Germans are something like Christ Socialists.”
Even
in private, without the requirements of political expediency that
otherwise might have compelled him to cynical posturing, Goebbels
similarly wrote: “Speaking does not help. Action! Be socialists
of action. There is too little of that. Be true Christians!”’
This emphasis on an active morality, a “practical”
Christianity, would be a continuous theme for Goebbels well into the
Third Reich.
Goebbels seriously believed his own disturbing
statement — there is no evidence that he ever said anything
different in private when he would have had the freedom to reveal his
"genuine" feelings, if they differed from his public
comments. Instead, his private statements and his public statements
were consistent.
The following is about the leader of the National
Socialist German Workers' Party:
[I]n a private meeting on
NSGWP economics with his inner circle, held in 1930, [The NSGWP
leader] elaborated his ideas on “real” socialism once
again, but now with explicit reference to Christ: “It is such a
far-reaching and complete conversion that the adult is no longer
capable of it. Only youth can be converted, newly aligned and
adjusted to the socialist sense of obligation toward the community.
For almost two thousand years the Gospel of Christ has been preached,
for two thousand years the sense of community has been taught. . . .
But today, at the end of these two thousand years, economic
liberalism flourishes as never before!” ...
For [the
NSGWP leader], the answer to the current state of affairs lay in a
resurrection of Christ’s ideas: “As Christ proclaimed
‘love one another’, so our call — ‘peoples’
community’, ‘public need before private greed’,
‘communally-minded social consciousness’ — rings
out through the German fatherland! This call will echo throughout the
world!” Without reference to a particular variety, “positive”
or otherwise, [the NSGWP leader]insists that Christianity is
at the center of [National Socialist German Workers' Party] social
thought. As with Buch and Goebbels, [the NSGWP leader]regards
the teachings of Christ as direct inspiration for the “German”
socialism advanced by the party.
Many Socialists and Christians in modern America may
have difficulty understanding how their ideas were used in the
National Socialist German Workers' Party. The New Testament describes
the early Christian communities as if they were socialist:
All that believed were
together, and had all things in common; And sold their possessions
and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. (Acts
2:44-45)
It is a line that long pre-dated Marx’s notorious
recipe for death: “From each according to his ability, to each
according to his need.”

Socialist German Workers' Party.
THE
SOCIALIST MOVEMENT, CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM AND THE CROSS
The hooked cross became a symbol of Christian Socialism
under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
It is frightening how far the USA joined in the
depravity. The major Supreme Court cases about the pledge involved
religious children in government schools who were being forced to
robotically chant the pledge to the national flag with the
straight-arm salute. Those cases began in the 1930's but did not
reach decision until 1940 & 1943. At first the children were
unsuccessful in the USA. Socialists persecuted the children,
expelled them from the socialist schools, arrested their parents,
seized children from parents on allegations of "unfit
parenting," and many children had to flee and use the many
better alternatives, including home-schooling and their own church
schools (but they and their schools were often persecuted by
socialists there also).
At
the height of National Socialism abroad, the USA's government
deliberately fell farther into the same abyss with national numbering
of humans imposed in 1935 with the social security system. The
federal government was growing massively and attempting to
nationalize the economy in many ways. The US Supreme Court struck
down much of the new legislation as unconstitutional until justices
were pressured by the "switch in time that socialized nine."
It is sad to note that during the same time period in the
USA, religious people who were fleeing the National Socialist German
Workers’ Party (NSGWP) were turned away from the USA, and
knowingly sent to suffering and death. That happened because of
socialists who support restrictions on immigration and on every
American’s right to hire, to do business, and to freely
associate. It was similar to today. Socialists in the USA still
support restrictions on immigration and they reject the right of
every American in living with, marrying, renting to, selling to,
buying from, hiring (as housekeeper, lawn man, doctor, nanny, teacher
etc) any person with whom that American wishes to associate. Little
has changed.
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 Bellamys promoted the U.S. disaster of
old prohibition, as well as modern prohibition. 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. Socialism's quest for omniscience
was enlarged with social security numbers in 1935 to track and tax
everyone, as the USA followed the path of German National Socialists
at the height of their power. The federal government grew massively
and nationalized the economy in many ways.
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. The U.S. practice of imposing segregation by law in
government schools and teaching racism as official policy 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 Bellamys
were bigots and racists and they obsessed about immigrants coming
into the USA. They wanted to impose a heavy-handed method of
brain-washing immigrants and all Americans into accepting their
socialist dogma. Because of the Bellamys, the USA has a long
history of turning immigrants away from being good Americans and
independent capitalists, and in turning immigrants into socialists
who are dependent on government.
The Bellamys promoted a
government takeover of schools, and when the government granted their
wish, the government schools imposed segregation by law and taught
racism as official government policy.
It is also true
that German National Socialists did not refer to themselves with the
hackneyed shorthand n-word, nor the f-word, and there is no such use
in Mein Kampf nor in Triumph of the Will. Modern
writers, on the other hand, cover-up the truth and never use the
actual name of the horrid Party, and deceitfully use the shorthand
terms, exclusively to perpetuate widespread ignorance, and that is
why those terms are trite.
The Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) was
an ancient religious symbol in Germany, related to the un-hooked
cross and to the Prussian-German Iron cross and to other crosses.
A
new law in Massachussetts bans bullying in schools. That means
schools officials, teachers, students and legislators will be
arrested and prosecuted regarding the Pledge of Allegiance?
Fool
me for 7 years, shame on you. Fool me for 8, 9 or more years,
shame on me.
Why the Pledge is here to stay: No one likes his
dope taken away from him. The opiate of the masses.
