The USA has
many types of socialism including the social security scam and its
Nazi numbering, and socialist schools (government schools), and
assembly-line searches with demands for 'papers' (identification
etc.,) and other proof of a police-state.
There are also ways in which the USA is less free, and is
more socialistic than most other countries. The main example is
the pledge of allegiance. All other countries shun it. No other
country on earth expects children to slavishly chant a socialist's
pledge in such a bizarre ritual, in military formation, and by law
in socialist schools every day upon the ring of a government bell,
like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state.
Wilhelm von Humboldt: "If it were possible to make an
accurate calculation of the evils which police regulations
occasion, and of those which they prevent, the number of the
former would, in all cases, exceed that of the latter."
On the left are more details of the
ways the USA is a police state:
Everyday and
everywhere you go: You cannot buy lunch or a soda without
government stealing from you (taxes). If you do not pay in cash
then your socialist slave number (social security number) informs
the government where you went and what you did. Your slave number
tracks and taxes you for life, including your jobs, income,
finances, residences, movements, purchases, activities, et cetera.
You are not allowed to travel (even a mile by car) unless you
carry identification. The car you ride in is required to
display identification.
A. The United States has more laws
than any other place (and government is imposing more laws faster
than any other place). This also supports arguments that the USA
has the LEAST freedom.
B. The United States has more people
in prison (or on probation, or convicted of felonies) than any
other place. This also supports arguments that the USA has
the LEAST freedom and is the worst police state.
See the
book "Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent
" by Harvey A. Silverglate.
1. The pledge of
allegiance and the robotic chanting that is such an oddball
feature of the USA's police state.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge1.html
On 06/12/06 the U.S. Senate was one vote away from passing
a constitutional amendment that would criminalize desecration of
the U.S. flag. If successful, it will mark the first time in 214
years that the Bill of Rights has been restricted by a
constitutional amendment, and will place the United States among a
select group of nations that have banned flag desecration,
including Cuba, China, Iran, and Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
The Pledge and the flag have inspired republican-socialists
in Congress to sponsor federal laws to override private property
rights and impose flag displays (as a special exception, while
discriminating against all other displays) in condominiums.
2. The "Social Security" scam, its socialist
slavery and Nazi numbering. Because of Social Security, every
American is born into slavery, with numbers assigned to infants.
It is an impoverishing scheme that tracks your home, workplace,
income, finances, etc., for life and steals all the way, in the
"SS" scheme (socialist slavery). Socialist Security was
imposed at the height of the power of the National Socialist
German Workers' Party. It was designed for a police state
system of social security for the government by tracking every
American's movements, residence, employment, jobs, income, and
eventually all purchases and activities, including travel. The
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) imposes socialist security
in the USSA through the Nazi numbering system today. Do not call
it your "Social Security number." Be honest and call it
your security number. http://rexcurry.net/SSNall.html
3.
Government schools (socialist schools) that ended the unique
freedom of the USA and put it on the same socialist path as every
other pathetic police state. http://rexcurry.net/schoolsmain.html
4. The social security numbers and the pledge train adult
Americans to submit to the federal income tax, where they
constantly have to justify to the government how they make money,
how much, and to fork it over (including never-ending withholding)
to fund the police state and its impoverishing debt. The annual
income tax ritual shows that Americans are completely whipped and
submissive.
5. Assembly-line searches in travel, and at government
buildings and other events along with demands for identification
and 'papers.' Road blocks as fishing expeditions for sobriety, or
merely for driver's licenses, or anything. It is similar to
checking for papers under the National Socialist German Workers
Party. http://rexcurry.net/sntsmain.html
7.
The President has the legal authority to sexually torture American
infants and children. Congress approves. Similarly, law Professor
Marty Lederman explains: "this [subsection (ii) of the
definition of 'unlawful enemy combatant'] means that if the
Pentagon says you're an unlawful enemy combatant -- using whatever
criteria they wish -- then as far as Congress, and U.S. law, is
concerned, you are one, whether or not you have had any connection
to 'hostilities' at all. Federal agents have the right to sexually
torture an infant in order to make the parents "confess"
to anything.
8. It is fortunate that the following man was
not an infant. Maher Arar's nightmare started when he was arrested
at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport because he was
on a terrorist watchlist. From there the U.S. government shipped
him to Jordan and onto Syria, where he was tortured and held in
dungeon-like conditions for nearly a year. Turns out the Canadian
isn't a terrorist, just a software engineer.
9. More short
examples are at the bottom of this page.
Today, the flag is
a symbol of the USA's growing police state. The federal flag code
is so broad and vague that most Americans do not realize that they
violate the law constantly. The flag code bans the use of the flag
on pins, hats, caps, bandanas, towels, bikinis, underwear, signs,
patches, shirts, stickers, book covers, cell phone skins, etc.
Individuals violate the law if they do almost anything with a flag
besides hoist it up a pole and salute it.
Francis Bellamy
(the author of the pledge of allegiance) and his cousin and
cohort, the author Edward Bellamy, were self-proclaimed national
socialists in the U.S. who wanted the government to take over
everything. They promoted "military socialism" and
the straight-armed salute, and they did it 3 decades before the
National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis).
Bellamy
believed that government schools with pledges and flags were
needed to brainwash children to embrace nationalism, militarism,
and socialism.
Bellamy wanted the government to takeover
everything and impose the military’s “efficiency,”
as he said. It is the origin of the modern
military-socialist complex.
Bellamy wanted a flag over
every school because he wanted to nationalize and militarize
everything, including all schools, and eliminate all of the better
alternatives. During Bellamy’s time the government was
taking over education.
Bellamy wanted government schools to
ape the military. Government schools were intended to create
an “industrial army” (another Bellamy phrase, and the
word “army” was not metaphorical) and to help
nationalize everything else. Government schools teach
that the pledge was created to sell flags to schools and Francis
Bellamy is described as an advertising pioneer. That is a
whitewashed piece of the whole story. A better description
is that Bellamy was a propaganda pioneer, comparable to Leni
Riefenstahl.
That is one of many reasons why Francis
Bellamy and his also-famous cousin Edward Bellamy are known as the
"American Hitlers" and as the first "American
Nazis." http://rexcurry.net/pledge1.html
REMOVE
THE PLEDGE FROM THE FLAG REMOVE THE FLAG FROM SCHOOLS REMOVE
SCHOOLS FROM GOVERNMENT
No other country uses a pledge
of allegiance to a flag the way the USA does, nor does any other
country have laws specifying the recitation daily, in the hopes of
promoting it among students in formation and in government schools
on cue each day. Barbados has a national pledge that
includes allegiance to "my country Barbados and to my flag,"
but it is not a routine part of the school day.
In
an interview with the New York Times, former Independent
Prosecutor Kenneth Starr was asked about the bizarre practice in
the USA. Starr represented the mother of the girl whose
father wanted the Supreme Court to strike two words from the
Pledge. When asked, "Do any other countries have a pledge of
allegiance to their flags?" Starr answered, "Not to my
knowledge."
In the wake of the September 11, 2001
terrorist attack, many states and local school districts
reinstated the daily pledge in socialist schools (government
schools). As of 2004, at least 27 states had done so.
No
other country has a pledge of allegiance to a flag nor, worse
still, a robotic chant of a socialist's pledge to brainwash
children with a salute in military formation every single day upon
the ring of a government bell, like Pavlov's lapdogs of the
state.
The "Roman salute" myth is used to
cover-up the fact that government inside the U.S. promoted
socialized schools, military socialism within government schools,
the creation of industrial armies, and daily robotic pledges of
allegiance in military formation with the infamous straight-arm
salute (the Nazi salute).
http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html
The
pledge of allegiance was the origin of the salute of the National
Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party) because Francis
Bellamy was a self-proclaimed national socialist who
promoted “military socialism” (a Bellamy term).
To promote militarism, Bellamy started the pledge of allegiance
with a military salute.
The first description of the pledge had the palm of the
hand turned upward for the straight-armed gesture. The
gesture changed in use, growing into the "Heil Hitler"
appearance because of the military salute (palm down) extended
casually straight toward the flag.
James Bailey Upham
suggested to Bellamy part of the gesture (the straight-arm with
the palm upward). Upham’s suggested gesture (palm up)
was like saying “Here is the flag.” It was
because of Bellamy’s alteration (the addition of the
military salute) that the pledge evolved into the Nazi-style.
The stiff-armed salute / gesture
resulted from the military salute extended outward to point at the
flag. It was NOT an ancient Roman salute (a debunked myth).
Upham was also familiar with
Bellamy's "military socialism" dogma because Edward
Bellamy, cousin and cohort to Francis, had written of it in the
international bestseller "Looking Backward" in 1888, and
both Bellamys had been openly involved in the national socialism
movement and the "Nationalist" magazine.
Germans
learned bad American behavior via old films, via WWI, and via the
widespread use of the straight-arm salute by German-American
groups (including the German American Bund) in the USA, that
led to its adoption later by the National Socialist German
Workers’ Party (Nazi Party).
http://rexcurry.net/pledgebund.html
Germany
and the entire world is owed an apology for the horrid influence
that government had inside the U.S. in promoting socialized
schools, military socialism within government schools, the
creation of industrial armies, and daily robotic pledges of
allegiance in military formation with the infamous straight-arm
salute.

Vacations
are a fun time to leave the USA's police state and to avoid as
many US laws as possible (but not really "breaking" the
law because U.S. laws don't normally apply in foreign countries).
http://rexcurry.net/trip.html
It
can be a fun time to leave your home state and to avoid as many
home-state laws as possible in another state (whenever friends
visit from New York City we fill the car with guns and take them
out shooting). Another example: Cuban cigars can be bought
in most foreign countries (the USA's police state prosecutes its
citizens with felony charges for the peaceful non-violent vice of
importing and smoking a Cuban cigar). Gambling is enjoyed (the
USA's police state prosecutes its citizens with criminal charges
for the peaceful non-violent vice of gambling in much of the USA
and the only reason Florida has any land-based casino gambling is
thank goodness for the Indians). Grand Cayman has a turtle farm
where humans can handle sea turtles (the USA's police state
prosecutes its citizens with felony charges for merely handling
sea turtles. The USA's government nearly destroyed the Grand
Cayman turtle farm). Grand Cayman serves turtle burgers and turtle
fritters and turtle anyway it can be prepared (that's illegal in
the U.S. and they will confiscate any jewelry or products that you
purchase that are made from turtles). Mexico lets you walk
on top of Mayan ruins (that is probably an arrestable offense in
the USA's police state). At the Grand Canyon, the Hualapai
Indians, on their reservation, will let tourists do things that
might result in arrest or hassling by federal
bureaucrats.
**************
There is a point
where a government becomes so socialistic that all cops are de
facto "bad cops" because they represent the government
and enforce its policies. Examples include the countries under the
socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): under
the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (~60 million people
slaughtered); under the Peoples' Republic of China (~50 million);
under the National Socialist German Workers' Party (~20 million).
Under such socialistic societies there are no good cops or, if
any, they must be extremely rare and able to do little. It is
where "all the cops are criminals and all the sinners [are]
saints" as the Rolling Stones might say.
http://rexcurry.net/bad-cops-rexcurrydotnet.html
There
is a point where a government becomes so socialistic that all
media are de facto "bad media" because they serve the
government and disseminate its policies. Examples include media in
the countries of the Wholecaust. In such societies, good
media either does not exist or can do little.
The
government in the USA under Republican President George W. Bush
quickly grew to be more than twice as socialistic as it was under
the previous Democratic administration (in social spending alone)
and the rate of growth only increased. The government under
Democratic President Clinton was enormous and enormously larger
than what preceded it. To learn more about the USA's growing
police state see http://rexcurry.net/police-state.html
Government
is the largest source of crime, including the worst crimes of all

that government increases crime.

Cruises are a great time to learn about and liberty and meet
people who love liberty too. Take T-shirts and caps that read
"Say No to Searches" and "My socialist Slave number is
262-00-6302" and "More government means you need more guns"
and "RexCurry.net" all visible at http://rexcurry.net
Your audience is captive. Every time a boat photographer wants
to shoot you, say "yes." Your shirts and caps will be
sprinkled throughout the photo gallery and every single passenger
will see them. And join in the videotaped activities that the
cruise line replays constantly on the TV.
Nothing ruins
a vacation like the government, and especially the U.S. police state.
They demand your papers coming and going, search you and your
luggage, and they want the asinine U.S. Customs form 6059B (19 CFR
122.27, 148.12, 148.13, 148.110, 148.111, 1498, 31 CFR 5316) upon
your return. You can be held prisoner for hours waiting in the heat
for your government to let you go home. Everyone is fuming all
over the boat about the local gestapo, and that is the perfect time
to walk all the way around each level of the boat and then switch
your shirt and cap and do it again, over and over, until the
prisoners are freed.
- As recently as about 100 years ago, I could have
walked into any apothecary and purchased any medicine I thought I
needed in any quantity I chose to buy ... without anyone's
permission.
- As recently as about 100 years
ago, I could have visited any purveyor of arms, purchased any
weapon I thought I needed, and walked down the street bearing that
weapon (openly or concealed) ... without anyone's
permission.1
- As recently as a little less
than 100 years ago, the money I earned would have been mine and
only taxed on certain expenditures (excises on alcohol, etc.). The
income tax wasn't permanently imposed until 1913 (two earlier
versions ran from 1862 to 1872, and then in 1894-95). Even when it
was imposed, it started at a whopping 1% on income in excess of
$3,000 ($64,371.21 in 2008 dollars) and topped out at 7% on income
in excess of $500,000 ($10.7 million in 2008 dollars). Most
Americans didn't pay income tax for decades after that, and it
wasn't until WWII that the government started grabbing it from
your paycheck in advance.
- Aside from the
Civil War, conscription and/or registration for conscription was
not a feature of American governance until World War I. By
mid-century it was near-universal, it continued (targeted mostly
to the underclass) through Vietnam, and (with one brief break)
mandatory registration to facilitate its resumption remains in
effect.
- The US federal government didn't
outlaw polygamy in US territories until 1862, and didn't really
threaten to open a can of whipass on Utah over it until 1887.
While some states had marriage licensing requirements, the federal
government did not establish the Uniform Marriage and Marriage
License Act (presumably under the "constitutional republican
framework" Holtz asserts) until 1923.
Some advances in
personal and civil liberties? Sure -- especially in the area of
recognizing those liberties as possessed by persons of both
sexes and all races (although on the latter, there have been
various retrenchments, such as the Anti-Chinese Acts and the
internment of the Nisei). Almost monotonic advancement?
Not.
Notes
1. For that matter, I could have formed
an organization, armed its members, and marched it up and down the
square in uniform without creating any great flap, let alone
risking imprisonment. Really -- I used to have an old (1898, I
think) drill manual for "Home Rifle Clubs" that I picked
up at a flea market. Try doing that now. I dare you.
The tyranny without end, the spying, secret camps, wire
taps, arrests without warrant, kidnapping, renditions, indefinite
detention, despising the Geneva Conventions, despising the U.S.
Constitution and assumption of dictatorial prerogatives. The
disregard of human life, the abuse and torture, the deliberate
degradation, the secrecy, the atmosphere of fear.
How did we
get to the point where the "federal" (i.e., central)
government defines for us the drinking age for alcohol, how much
wheat farmers can grow, the ability of terminally ill cancer patients
to medicate themselves with marijuana, the amount of sugar that can
be used in ketchup, and even the size of toilets?
Judge
Napolitano’s book: "Between 1937 and 1995, not a single
federal law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Not
one piece of legislation was seen as exceeding the scope of
Congress’s commerce power." (Emphasis added). So much for
the phony argument that "judicial review" by the federal
courts acts to protect liberty. Instead, it does the opposite: It
expands the size and scope of government at the expense of liberty.
This sad story is told over the course of several of the latter
chapters of The Constitution in Exile.
Judge Napolitano’s
book: in a chapter entitled "After 9/11" the judge writes
that "The PATRIOT Act and its progeny are the most abominable,
unconstitutional governmental assaults on personal freedom since the
Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798" and "the most unpatriotic
of the things that the Bush administration and this [Republican
controlled] Congress could have visited upon us."
Judge
Napolitano’s book: "federal agents and local police can
write their own search warrants, serve them on American financial
institutions without the intervention of a judge, and obtain
information about you without you even knowing it!" The PATRIOT
Act "has allowed the government to circumvent completely the
Fourth Amendment" and "makes it a crime – punishable
by five years in jail – for the recipient of a self-written
search warrant to tell anyone that he or she has received the search
warrant." These rats know that they are rats.
Judge
Napolitano’s book: "The government can now . . . break
into your house . . . steal your checkbook, put an electronic bug
under your kitchen table, and make it look like it was a house
burglary. It can even leave and not tell you or the local police what
has happened."
Judge Napolitano recommends abolition of
the income tax ("the Sixteenth Amendment . . . should be
abolished outright"); same for the Seventeenth Amendment which
called for the direct election of U.S. senators and a return to the
system of appointing them by state legislatures; and the recognition
that the federal government will never check its own power. "Thus,
I would clarify the right of the states to secede from the Union,"
writes the judge from New Jersey, "losing all the benefits that
come from membership [in the union], but regaining all the freedom
membership has taken away.
COPS AND ROBBERS (the cops are the
robbers): Someone wrote: In 1980 I was leaving the country to play in
a high stakes poker game. I had my entire bankroll hidden on
me.($21,000.) Customs arrested me after questioning me and finding my
money. I was charged with failure to file a notice that I was taking
out over $10K. That charge was dropped and I was charged with lying
about the money while being quetioned in publlic. I was convicted of
a felony and fined $2K. The money was not returned. Why? I never got
an answer. For years I told this story at the poker tables and
someone always accused me of lying. Why? "That stuff can't
happen in America!" United States of America v.
$124,700 in U.S. Currency: the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth
Circuit took that amount of cash away from Emiliano Gomez Gonzolez
while holding that Driving With Money is a Crime and that police may
seize cash from motorists even in the absence of any evidence that a
crime has been committed. A federal appeals court ruled that if a
motorist is carrying large sums of money, it is automatically subject
to confiscation.
A fan writes: I went to Kennedy Space Center
in Cape Canaveral with my son. It was really bizarre seeing uniformed
Airmen with fully automatic machine guns strapped over their soldiers

The coming crackdown on
blogging. March 3, 2005 By Declan McCullagh. Bradley Smith says
that the days of political blogging and online punditry are over. In
just a few months, he warns, bloggers and news organizations could
risk the wrath of the federal government if they improperly link to a
campaign's Web site. Even forwarding a political candidate's press
release to a mailing list, depending on the details, could be
punished by fines. Smith should know. He's one of the six
commissioners at the Federal Election Commission, which is beginning
the perilous process of extending a controversial 2002 campaign
finance law to the Internet. In 2002, the FEC exempted the Internet
by a 4-2 vote, but U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly last
fall overturned that decision. "The commission's exclusion of
Internet communications from the coordinated communications
regulation severely undermines" the campaign finance law's
purposes, Kollar-Kotelly wrote. Smith and the other two Republican
commissioners wanted to appeal the Internet-related sections. But
because they couldn't get the three Democrats to go along with them,
what Smith describes as a "bizarre" regulatory process now
is under way.
The news reported that at least 20 federal
agencies have made and distributed pre-packaged, ready-to-serve
television news segments to promote the president's policies and
initiatives. Congress' Government Accountability Office determined
that these "video news releases" were illegal "covert
propaganda" and told federal agencies to stop. But last Friday,
the White House ordered all agencies to disregard Congress'
directive. The President's administration is using hundreds of
millions of your tax dollars to manipulate public opinion.
Comments
from US soldier Camilo Mejia who refused to return to his unit in
Iraq after taking leave in October 2003: "People would ask
me about my war experiences and answering them took me back to all
the horrors - the firefights, the ambushes, the time I saw a young
Iraqi dragged by his shoulders through a pool of his own blood or an
innocent man was decapitated by our machine gun fire. The time I saw
a soldier broken down inside because he killed a child, or an old man
on his knees, crying with his arms raised to the sky, perhaps asking
God why we had taken the lifeless body of his son. I thought of the
suffering of a people whose country was in ruins and who were further
humiliated by the raids, patrols and curfews of an occupying army.
"And I realized that none of the reasons
we were told about why we were in Iraq turned out to be true... I
realized that I was part of a war that I believed was immoral and
criminal, a war of aggression, a war of imperial domination. I
realized that acting upon my principles became incompatible with my
role in the military, and I decided that I could not return to
Iraq." (Mejia, 'Regaining My Humanity,')

Sen. Sherrod Brown snarls
at the notion that protectionist policies reduce freedom (Letters,
March 18, 2009). Let's see. If I want to buy a pair of
pants from China, armed agents from U.S. Customs stop me from
doing so unless and until I fork over to them a fee that Mr. Brown
and his colleagues on Capitol Hill determine I should pay for the
privilege of engaging in this voluntary transaction.
If I
resist and try to buy my pants without paying the fee demanded by
Uncle Sam's armed goons, I will be imprisoned. If I resist
too adamantly, I will be shot dead.
For Mr. Brown to deny
that protectionism infringes people's freedom is disgraceful
Orwellian newspeak.
I
was talking with some friends over the Christmas holiday break and
they were commenting on how lucky we are that we live in a free
country where we have the liberty and the opportunity to live our
lives the way we want and are not controlled by the government like
in other countries.
So I
started thinking about a particular day of mine a couple months ago:
I woke up
in the morning in my FHA (Federal Housing Administration) approved
home that was built in accordance with USDOE (Department of Energy),
FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission), and numerous CFRs (Code
of Federal Regulations).
I went to
the bathroom to clean up for work. I showered with soap, shampoo and
other toiletry products that have been approved for me by the FDA
(Food and Drug Administration) using water that meets federal EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency) quality standards.
I took my
morning vitamins which had to be approved by the FDA.
I went
downstairs to eat breakfast foods that had to be approved by the FDA
and listened to my morning radio programs which are regulated by the
FCC (Federal Communication Commission).
I then got
into my EPA and DOT (Dept. of Transportation) standards approved and
FTC (Federal Trade Commission) regulated car and was forced by the
NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to buckle my
seatbelt and put my daughter into an approved child seat. I then
drove on DOT regulated roads and was forced to drive a certain speed
while listening to more FCC approved programming on my radio.
I stopped
for gas but there wasn’t any due to state legislated gas
quality restrictions which caused a decrease in the supply of gas and
also gasoline price controls that kept the price so artificially low
that there was an excess demand such that it sold out as soon as it
arrived.
I arrived
at my DOL (Dept. of Labor) regulated and EEOC (Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission) sanctioned place of employment, running on
fumes, and was forced to work the first 2 hours of my 8 hour shift
for the federal and state governments by giving almost 30% of my
wages to the IRS and SSA (Social Security Administration) with no
compensation.
At
lunchtime I went with colleagues to eat and was forced to pay with
the only medium of exchange the government approves that is regulated
by the FRB (Federal Reserve Board): worthless fiat bank notes.
I then
went to pick up my daughter from school where she’s learning a
DOE (Dept. of Education) approved curriculum. I took her to an HMO
(Health Maintenance Organization) approved doctor to get her HHS
(Health and Human Services) mandated vaccinations that I learned she
needed while watching a Disney family movie which was interrupted by
an HHS PSA.
After
returning to work I checked my SEC (Securities and Exchange
Commission) and IRS regulated investments in my now Federal Treasury
owned banks to see if I’ll be able to retire someday since the
SSA trust fund that I’ve been paying into for 25 years has been
raided by the federal government and is now bankrupt.
That
afternoon I had to catch a flight to our office in Detroit aboard an
FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) approved plane operating at an
FAA regulated airport.
Before
boarding I had to pass through a TSA (Transportation Safety
Administration) security checkpoint where I was forced to disrobe
down to my shirt, pants and socks and pass through a scanning machine
that saw right through my remaining clothing.
Onboard I
noticed federal sky marshals with weapons so I decided to have a
cocktail composed of liquor that is controlled by the ATF (Alcohol
Tobacco and Firearms), as are the sky marshal’s guns.
Once
sufficiently sedated with bourbon, I sat back and relaxed and thought
to myself: Thank God I don’t live in a country where the
government controls your life!

The
country of Turkey is joining France in adopting a “pledge of
allegiance” and following the backward idolatry of the United
States that is over a century old in imposing a Pledge of Allegiance
(1892), and Nazism and military socialism and government schools
(socialist schools). The United States was the origin of the Nazi
salute in the robotic chanting of the Pledge of Allegiance, and
military socialism (Nazism) from Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy
and their support of government schools (socialist schools), for
brainwashing. See the work of Dr. Rex Curry.

"However, the vast majority of educators in Turkey have
recently been speaking out more than ever, saying that no matter what
changes are made, nothing much can be done in terms of
democratization, unless the education system is privatized and
problematic anti-democratic practices are removed from the system.
For example, the military-style commands and mass recital of the
Turkish pledge of allegiance (Andımız) in Turkish primary
schools are seen by some as inappropriate. Before students begin the
day, they gather in the school yard and recite the Turkish pledge of
allegiance altogether after receiving a military drill-style command
from their teachers; the whole scenario is more reminiscent of a
military barracks than a school. Students in Turkish high schools
have often complained about the compulsory national security course,
a subject that is part of the official curriculum and is often taught
by military officers, saying they don’t see the use of this
class, which aims to teach values such as patriotism.
In an interview with Today’s Zaman, Bugün daily
columnist Gülay Göktürk said she believes that the
education system should be privatized, the Unification of Education
(Tevhid-i Tedrisat) code must be removed from the Constitution and
the official curriculum should not be compulsory in all schools.
Göktürk said having different curriculums in schools would
allow for real competition in education, and parents would have
multiple options to choose from."
