New discoveries show that swastikas were used as alphabetic symbolism
(to represent letters and words) in the United States decades before
swastikas became symbols for "socialism" under German National Socialism
and under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hakenkreuz.html
The discoveries are in the growing body of work by the symbologist
and cryptologist Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets"). He
has previously shown how socialists in the USA modernized the ancient
swastika as overlapping "S" letters for "Socialists" joining together
in a utopian "Socialist Society." http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html
The ends of the Swastika's arms can point clockwise or counterclockwise.
If the arms point clockwise, then the primary "L" letter appears
upright in the top left of the swastika (as in the most common example
of the "luck, love, life, light" image). If the arms point counterclockwise,
then the primary "L" letter appears upright in the bottom right corner of
the swastika. Some people see the "L" letter motif more easily in one orientation
of the symbol, as compared with the other orientation.
In the same way that the swastika was viewed as four "L" letters, it
was also viewed as two "S" letters. The "S" shape of the swastika is only
visible when the orientation of the arms is clockwise. The counterclockwise
orientation provides a "Z" shape. The S-shape is heightened when the swastika
is turned 45 degress to the horizontal as it was under German National
Socialism. http://rexcurry.net/tetragrammaton.html
The double "S" symbolism was also suggested by the first and forth
letters of the western term for the symbol: swastika. In Germany,
however, the symbol was not called "swastika," but was called "Hakenkreuz."
Later, the symbol acquired an "S" reference in Germany when it was adopted
by National Socialists, who also cried for their socialist victory with
"Sieg Heil!" and used runes in their insignias. http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a.html
Before 1910, the swastika was associated in the USA with the growing
popularity of "military socialism," a dogma touted by Edward Bellamy,
the American author of the international bestseller "Looking Backward,"
(1887) known as the bible of National Socialism.
In 1888, the Theosophical Society teamed up with Bellamy's Nationalist
movement for military socialism.
In 1892, Francis Bellamy, cohort and cousin to Edward Bellamy, created
the Pledge of Allegiance, and it was the origin of the stiff-arm Nazi
salute popularized by forced daily robotic chanting required by laws in
government schools.
The Bellamy salute and the Bellamy swastika spread globally.

By 1915, the symbol was also widely popular as an ornamental
"Good Luck" symbol, as in a 1915 postcard showing the American flag
posed favorably with a swastika. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-flag2.JPG
Graduates/victims of government schools may find it
hard to believe: Americans used the straight-arm gesture, wore swastika
shoulder patches and flew planes adorned with swastikas in war against
Germany, and they did it all decades before the same was done under
the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The USA was the origin
of that behavior under German National Socialism.
By adopting the symbol, American soldiers influenced the swastika
as an alphabetic symbol of socialism around the world, where the symbol
had previously been a generic ancient symbol.

***********************
GENERAL DEFINITION OF SWASTIKA SYMBOL -
The swastika (from Sanskrit) is an equilateral cross with its arms
bent at right angles in either clockwise direction or the opposite. The
swastika is a holy symbol in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. The Hindu
version is often decorated with a dot in each quadrant. In the West, it
is not widely used due to its negative association with the National Socialist
German Workers' Party (NSGWP). It is traditionally oriented so that a main
line is horizontal, though it is was occasionally rotated at forty-five
degrees, and espeically so under the NSGWP.
The motif seems to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia. The
swastika is used in religious and civil ceremonies in India. Most Indian
temples, weddings, festivals and celebrations are decorated with swastikas.
The symbol was used in Southeast Asia and remains an integral part of Balinese
Hinduism to this day, and it is a common sight in Indonesia. The symbol
has an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian
European cultures. By the early 20th century it was widely used worldwide
and was regarded as a symbol of good luck and auspiciousness.
Since its adoption by the leader of the National Socialist German
Workers' Party, the swastika has been associated in the Western world
with negative themes, World War II, and the socialist Wholecaust (of which
the Holocaust was a part): ~60 million killed under the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics, ~50 million under the Peoples' Republic of China,
~20 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP).
They were the worst slaughters in history. The slaughter was so enormous
that Holocaust Museums can triple in size and scope by adding Wholecaust
Museums. The NSGWP began in 1920, had electoral breakthroughs in 1930, dictatorship
in 1933, and in 1939 the National Socialist German Workers' Party and the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics started as allies in 1939 to invade
Poland in a pact to divide up Europe.
German National Socialists placed the symbol on the national flag
of Germany and saluted it with the notorious straight-arm salute. Many
people were persecuted for refusing to salute, and some of the people who
refused were religious people who considered the act sacrilegious. There
were good reasons to consider the pledge and the salute to be the sacrilegious
worship of government. 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." In the "Mein Kampf" the word "swastika" does not
appear in the German version. "Swastika" was a bad translation of "Hakenkreuz."
Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Professor Rex Curry
discovered that it was also used sometimes by German National Socialists
to represent "S" letters for their "socialism." With a 45 degree
turn of his Hakenkreuz, the leader of German National Socialists combined
the cross with collectivism, merged church and state, meshed religion
and socialism, and mandated the worship of government. The leader of the
NSGWP altered his own signature to use the same stylized "S" letter for
"socialist," He altered the symbol to turn it 45 degrees to the horizontal
and eventually to always point to the right (to highlight the "S" letters),
and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens. It is one of
the biggest cover-ups of all time. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html
Before the time of the NSGWP, there had been a resurgence in recognition
of the symbol from the archaeological work of Heinrich Schliemann, who
discovered the symbol in the site of ancient Troy and associated it with
the ancient migrations of Proto-Indo-Europeans.
In the book "Swastika the earliest known symbol and its migrations"
by Thomas Wilson (published in 1894 at page 771) explained how Professor
Max Muller cautioned Schliemann 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 inner symbol at lower left is "Shin" the twenty-first letter in many
Semitic abjads, including Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew שׂ, and Arabic šīn
ﺵ (in abjadi order, 12th in modern order).
In Judaism Shin also stands for S-letter symbolism for the word "Shaddai,"
a name for God. Because of this, a kohen (priest) forms the letter Shin
with his hands as he recites the Priestly Blessing. In the mid 1960s, actor
Leonard Nimoy used a single-handed version of this gesture to create the
Vulcan Hand Salute for his character, Mr. Spock, on Star Trek. http://rexcurry.net/tetragrammaton.html
In Jewish tradition the letter Shin is inscribed on the Mezuzah, a vessel
which houses a scroll of parchment with Biblical text written on it. The
text contained in the Mezuzah is the Shema Yisrael prayer, which calls the
Israelites to love their God with all their heart. The mezuzah is situated
upon all the doorframes in a home. Sometimes the whole word Shaddai is written.
The letter Shin also appears in the game of dreidel / dreydl as S-letter
symbolism for "shtel" ("put" meaning to put a coin in the pot).
It is unfortunate that the monstrous National Socialist German Workers
Party also used S-letter symbolism in the swastika to represent it dogma
of "Socialism" under German National Socialism, a dogma influenced by the
work of Edward Bellamy's National Socialist movement and Madame Blavatsky's
Theosophical Society in the USA, which also used the swastika symbol.
In addition, German socialists did not call their symbol a "swastika."
German socialists called their symbol a Hakenkreuz. The word "Hakenkreuz"
means "hooked cross" because it was also a reference to God and religion,
as a type of cross.
The two S-letters mad the socialist swastika was a digrammaton, instead
of a tetragrammaton.
