Does the Pledge of
Allegiance establish a religion --the worship of government?
Public comments about the pledge show that few people know about the
pledge's poisonous past. 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 of the discovery by the journalist Rex Curry that
the original salute to the flag was the origin of the Nazi salute. Eye-popping
photos are only at http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
Few people know that "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers'
Party." 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.

The common claim that the straight-arm salute is an old Roman salute
is a myth. http://rexcurry.net/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" (a Bellamy phrase) explicitly modeled on
the military and where the government has taken over all schools as
a socialist monopoly for the "industrial army" system to acheive "military
socialism" (another Bellamy phrase) and to nationalize the entire economy.
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. It explains the modern Military-Socialist complex.
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).
Francis Bellamy used his position with the National Education Association
(NEA) to promote the pledge. Edward Bellamy published the “Nationalist”
magazine and both Bellamys supported its publisher, the “Nationalist Educational
Association,” (NEA) named with deliberate similarity to the National Education
Association. The name is visible in the photo above near the bottom of
the magazine's cover. This is the only one place on the web with an
example of the "Nationalist" magazine.
The Government-schools spread and mandated racism and segregation
by law and did so through WWII and well beyond. http://rexcurry.net/stopthepledge4.html
The straight-armed salute of the pledge in racist and segregated government
schools served as a widespread example to Germany through WWI and for
over three decades before Nazism and WWII. The National Socialist
German Workers' Party was also inspired by German-Americans who were already
national socialists in the U.S. and who joined the German American Bund
movement to support national socialists in Germany before WWII. http://rexcurry.net/pledgebund.html
Germans learned bad American behavior via old films, via WWI, and via
the widespread use of the straight-arm salute by German-American groups
in the USA, that led to its adoption later by the National Socialist
German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party).

Does the Pledge of Allegiance
establish a religion -the worship of government? The Pledge was written
to establish the religion of solidarity, with Jesus as its socialist figurehead.
Before penning the Pledge, the Reverend Francis Bellamy penned notorious
sermons about "Jesus the Socialist," to promote the "Religion of Solidarity,"
a doctrine shared with Edward Bellamy, his cousin, and the author of a book
with the same title. It was part of the "Christian Socialism" movement
that the Bellamys preached. http://rexcurry.net/pledgelead.html
The Bellamys touted government as God, and socialism as religion. That
religion includes repentence, confession, rejecting past sin, conversion,
embracing the new "God" (government/socialism), prayer, daily group-chanting,
idolatry, altruism, self-sacrifice, even to the end of crucifixion or death.
It is similar to the dogma under the socialist Wholecaust (of which
the Holocaust was a part): 65 million dead under the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics; 35 million dead under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million
dead under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The religion gives
government God-like powers of omniscience and omnipotence, with the power
of life and death.
The first flag pledge used a gesture of worship, and was not the modern
hand-over-the-heart. Bellamy's flag pledge originally extended the
right arm out toward the flag while the "flag prayer" was chanted reverential,
en masse and on the cue of a ringing bell. If both arms had been extended
together, then the religious worship and flag idolatry would have been
more clear and startling.
In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a
straight arm and palm down by entranced children performing the forced
ritual chanting. The original Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the
salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, as shown by the
historian, Dr. Rex Curry.
The Religion of Solidarity was one of Edward Bellamy's
early works, written in 1874 at the age of 24. Professor Curry has
studied Edward Bellamy's work extensively and has shown the damage that
the Bellamy family did. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
Solidarity combines socialism with religion, and argues that
individuality is an unimportant delusion. It advocates that each individual
subsume himself/herself to anything and everything else, as repeated later
in Bellamy's socialist utopia Looking Backward (1888).
Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy
(author of the novel "The Religion of Solidarity") and Charles Bellamy
(author of "Were they Sinners?") were socialists. Edward and Charles
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, the "Nationalist Educational
Association," and their dogma of "military socialism," and Edward inspired
the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists
worldwide (including Germany) via “Nationalist Clubs.” 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 as alphabetic symbolism, including meshed "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.
Edward Bellamy grew up in a religious family with religious predecessors.
Rufus King Bellamy (1816 - 1886) was the father of Frederick, Edward, and
Charles. Rufus was a younger brother of David Bellamy (the father of Francis
Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Allegiance). Both Rufus and David spent
their lives in the ministry preaching their versions of utopia. Rufus
and his wife (Maria Putnam Bellamy) preached to their three sons the need
for activist altruism. Charles and Edward Bellamy went on to write
utopian stories and fantasy tales. Charles wrote "Were They Sinners?" and
"The Breton Mills" (1879) in which he used vague altruism to justify a socialist
government. Edward followed the same route with "The Religion of Solidarity"
and his totalitarian utopian fantasy "Looking Backward," both considered part
of the "Christian Socialism" dogma. Both brothers inpired their cousin, Francis
Bellamy (author of the Pledge of Allegiance).
