		Are Audi & VW Volkswagen emblems related to the swastika's alphabetical symbolism? Swastikas are scary reminders of the National Socialist German Workers Party and swastika fanaticism, and the "Socialist Slavery" symbolized by the meshed S-letters of the swastika under the NSDAP.  http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

The late Texas Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez strongly objected to the Pledge of Allegiance that preceded Congressional sessions. He compared the Pledge to the National Socialist German Workers Party's incantation, "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" "Some people think the Pledge comes with the Declaration of Independence. That downgrades Thomas Jefferson." Gonzalez added that Jefferson "would never have concocted that sort of banal recital!" Ernst Hanfstaengl is proof that Gonzalez did not realize how right he was.

***********

A lot of fascinating research examines how socialism has been influenced by America and Americans. Many authors worry about a future filled with persecution and global socialism. Those worries have relevance today in the enormous size and scope of government in the USA and its growing police state. http://rexcurry.net/national-socialists-usa.html

Harvard helped Hitler. Here's how: Harvard graduate Ernst Hanfstaengl was a close associate of Hitler. Hanfstaengl had attended school in the United States during the time when the United States used the stiff-arm salute in the Pledge of Allegiance and elsewhere. The stiff-arm salute originated from the Pledge of Allegiance, which was written in 1892. It was the source of the salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party, as shown in the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets"). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

A youtube video explains more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4

Hanfstaengl created the infamous "Sieg Heil" chant, he spread America's straight-arm salute in Germany, and he taught the German National Socialist leader to use swastika-style symbolism in signatures. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hanfstaengl.html

Wikipedia has helped to spread the news about Dr. Curry's discoveries about Hanfstaengle, German chants, and how the German flag and its swastika was used sometimes to represent overlapping "S" letters in alphabetic symbolism for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

Recent articles at opinioneditorials.com report on the many references to Dr. Curry's research and discoveries on Wikipedia. Even Wikipedia founder Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales  has publicly noted Dr. Curry's influence on Wikipedia. Some Wikipedia writers use Dr. Curry's work without attribution in apparent attempts to bolster their own credibility.

Ernst Franz Sedgwick Hanfstaengl (1887 - 1975) was the only person known to have worked directly for both Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP). Both of Hanfstaengl's employers promoted national socialism, the former in America, and the latter in Germany. Both enlarged government massively.

Hanfstaengl was born in Germany, spent his early years in Germany, and then moved to the United States and attended Harvard University, graduating in 1909. While at Harvard he participated in patriotic events, played the piano, and composed football songs. He resided in America until 1921, when he returned to Germany.

National socialism had been promoted in the USA from 1888 by Edward Bellamy, author of the book "Looking Backward." Roosevelt was so impressed by Bellamy's book that Roosevelt wrote "Looking Forward" to impose Bellamy's national socialism in America.

Bellamy's book was an international bestseller and was tranlsated into every major language including German, Russian and Chinese. Clubs sprang up in the USA and worldwide for touting the book's ideas. The Bellamy dogma influenced socialists worldwide, including the countries of the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): ~60 million dead 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). 

Roosevelt's book was not an international bestseller. Roosevelt's policies (Bellamy schemes) were imposed by law on Americans, nevertheless.  

National Socialists wanted government to monopolize education, and that scheme was supported by Roosevelt, Edward Bellamy, and Francis Bellamy (cousin and cohort to Edward).

Francis Bellamy wrote the Pledge of Allegiance that is chanted robotically in many government schools (socialist schools). The Bellamys wanted government to take over all schools and create the "industrial army" from children to spread "military socialism."

The early Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag (1892 to 1945) was the origin of the straight-arm salute used later by the NSGWP, as discovered by the historian Dr. Rex Curry, author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets." Shocking photos are on the web. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

By the time Hanfstaengl was attending school in the U.S., the straight-arm salute was used for various purposes, including the National Anthem (the Star Spangled Banner), for school flags, and even as a general greeting or cheer during sports events (including Harvard football games).

About 1921, Hanfstaengl returned to Germany and heard for the first time a speech by the leader of the NSGWP in a beer hall. The leader of the NSGWP stated that the first time he saw the straight-arm salute he was in a beer hall and he described it as occurring at "about" the same time (as when Hanfstaengl claims that Hanfstaengl heard him speak). (According to Toland, p. 128, the first encounter was on 22 November, 1922 at the Kindlkeller, a large L-shaped beer hall).

Of course, there were other Germans, et cetera, who had moved to and from the United States since 1892, where the stiff-armed salute was already used to salute the national flag. There were also movie depictions and other ways in which Germans would have been exposed to the early American raised-arm gesture.

Rudolph Hess published an article titled "The Fascist Greeting" in June 1928, claiming that the gesture was used as early as 1921, before the German National Socialists had heard about the socialist Mussolini. http://rexcurry.net/america-first-committee-charles-lindbergh-wikipedia-org-wiki.html

It is possible that the Olympics adopted the American salute before the American salute was adopted by the socialists Mussolini and Hitler. http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter1a1c.html

Hanfstaengl was so impressed that he became a follower of the NSGWP leader.  Hanfstaengl participated in the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.  Afterward, he sheltered the NSGWP leader in the attic of his home in Uffing, outside of Munich.

The straight-arm salute was not the only time that Hanfstaengl provided promotional assistance to the the NSGWP.  

Hanfstaengl wrote Brownshirt marches based on his Harvard football songs. That is how Hanfstaengl devised the chant of "Sieg Heil" (and "Heil Hitler" followed?). The leader of the NSGWP was so impressed with Hanfstaengl's style that Hanfstaengl became the unofficial piano player at various social gatherings. One night, at the home of the photographer Heinrich Hoffmann, he played band marches used at halftime in American football games. He described college cheerleanding and the deliberate whipping up of hysterical enthusiasm and robotic chanting. He described thousands of spectators being led in roars of, "Harvard, Harvard, Harvard, rah, rah, rah!" and about "the hypnotic effect of this sort of thing." Hanfstaengl demonstrated on the piano how German marches could be adapted to the buoyant American beat. The NSGWP's leader declared enthusiastically that the same performance was needed for German National Socialism. "Harvard, Harvard, Harvard" became "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" Evidence for the preceding event is provided in "Hitler: the missing years" by Ernst Hanfstaengl (pgs 6 and 51); the author Thomas Fuchs in his concise biography of the NSGWP leader; and by the author John Toland in his biography of the NSGWP leader (p.135); by the author Peter Conradi in his book "Piano Player: The Rise and Fall of Ernst Hanfstaengl"; and in Hanfstaengl's book "Unheard Witness" (1957). (A useful web search is for the name Hitler with "rah, rah, rah" or "Harvard, Harvard, Harvard").

U.S. wartime intelligence also believed the National Socialist salute may have been copied from American cheerleaders, rather than from Mussolini (who began using the salute while he was a popular socialist, but decades after the salute was created in the U.S. by the socialist Francis Bellamy and decades after the salute's widespread use in the United States). The claim from U.S. wartime intelligance is one of many observations in a strange psychological profile of Adolf Hitler declassified by the CIA. The profile relies mainly on personal views of Ernst Hanfstaengl, a best friend of the German National Socialist leader. In the document, produced by the Office of Strategic Services, he is known by the codename Dr Sedgwick, said reports. The report claims of the Hitler salute: "In 1923 he adored American football marches and college songs. The 'Sieg Heil' used in all political rallies is a direct copy of the technique used by American football cheerleaders." And the American football cheerleaders adopted the method from the American Pledge of Allegiance. Cheerleaders continue to use the military salute to the chest extended out into the stiff-arm palm-down salute.

In the USA today, high schools and universities continue to use out-stretched arm salutes in their alma mater songs, chanted in unison while pointing at the school flag or emblem. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-alma-mater-point.jpg and http://rexcurry.net/pledge-alma-mater-point2.jpg  Almost no American students are aware of the history of the Pledge of Allegiance and the similarity of some alma mater salutes to the early American pledge salute.

Hanfstaengl helped spread the alphabetic symbolism of the swastiika, and even influenced the signature of the NSGWP's leader, as discovered by the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets"). An autographed photograph shows the signature of Hanfstaengl with a swastika used as alphabetic symbolism for the first letter "H." http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hanfstaengl.html

This is the photograph showing the signature and image of Ernst Hanfstaengl. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hanfstaengl.JPG

The most that is known about the date of the photograph is "about 1934."  About 1934 is when a similar alteration began in the signature of the NSGWP's leader. "Adolf" began to resemble one large "S" shape, evoking the swastika and it's "S" letters for "Socialism."

Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Dr. Curry showed that it was also used sometimes by German National Socialists as alphabetic symbolism, including meshed "S" letters for their "socialism."  The leader of German National Socialism altered his own signature to use the same stylized "S" letter for "socialist."  Similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

In 1936, Berlin hosted the Olympic Games, where American athletes continued to demonstrate the straight-arm salute to the US flag during the National Anthem in awards ceremonies.

Eventually, Hanfstaengl fell completely out of favor and he had to flee Germany. In 1942 Hanfstaengl was moved from a Canadian Prisoner of War camp and turned over to the United States. He entered the employ of Roosevelt and advised him on the German National Socialist leader.

Although Roosevelt helped to defeat Germany in World War II, Roosevelt was put on the side of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Peoples' Republic of China. At the end of WWII, Roosevelt helped to hand over half of Europe to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. After WWII, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Peoples' Republic of China went on to kill even more millions of people than had been killed by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

It all shows how close the USA came (and is still coming) to the socialist Wholecaust. Many Americans serve as 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). The demonic dogma of socialism, sacrifice, and self-sacrifice is still growing all over the world.

...........................

Dr. Rex Curry's work is supported by the book "The Third Reich in the Ivory Tower: Complicity and Conflict on American Campuses" by Stephen H. Norwood  (Cambridge University Press) even Norwood seems ignorant of the early salute to the Pledge of Allegiance and its philosophical origins in national socialism in the United States from 1892. Norwood's book is a chilling chronicle that many Americans showed enthusiasm for the National Socialist German Workers Party. According to Norwood the "stiff-armed Nazi salute and Sieg Heil chant" was "modeled on a gesture and a shout" that Hanfstaengl had used as a Harvard football cheerleader.

The sign of socialism: the socialist signature!

Could the Harvard rallying cry "Rinehart" be the origin of the "Heil Hitler" chant and related to the American origin of the stiff-armed Nazi salute?
http://rexcurry.net/pledge_of_allegiance_videos_images.html

A connection might exist through the influence of Harvard grad Ernst Hanfstaengl. Hanfstaengl was a close associate of Hitler. Hanfstaengl had attended school in the United States during the time when the United States used the stiff-arm salute in the Pledge of Allegiance and elsewhere. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg

The stiff-arm salute originated from the Pledge of Allegiance, which was written in 1892. It was the source of the salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party, as shown in the work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets"). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Hanfstaengl created the infamous "Sieg Heil" chant (and the "Heil Hitler" chant followed?), he spread America's straight-arm salute in Germany, and he taught the German National Socialist leader to use swastika-style symbolism in signatures. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hanfstaengl.html

A youtube video explains more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4

The Harvard rallying cry "Rinehart!" is mentioned in the 1939 movie "The Great Man Votes" starring John Barrymore.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge_of_allegiance_videos_images.html

The movie shows how the "Rinehart" cry spread through American popular culture.

The movie also shows (in a different scene) the early American stiff-armed salute in the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of class in a government school (socialist school).

Also, the song "Harvard Blues," written by Harvard graduate George Frazer and recorded by Count Basie (1941), includes the line, "Rinehart, Rinehart, I am a most indifferent guy . . ."

According to a Harvard magazine article, Basie was charmed by the second stage of the Rinehart legend: "In his 1984 biography of Frazier, 'Another Man's Poison,' Charles Fountain reports that in 1941 Frazier regaled his friend Basie with a sadsack version of the legend: 'Rinehart was a friendless young Harvard who tried to present the illusion that he was in truth a popular sort by standing under his dormitory window and hailing himself,' wrote Fountain. 'Every other November, on the eve or the morning of the Harvard-Yale game, part of the atmosphere in the lobby of the Taft Hotel in New Haven was the faithful and incessant paging of Mr. Rinehart—'Call for Mr. Rinehart! Call for Mr. Rinehart!'— with never a Mr. Rinehart to answer.' "

The legend presents some amusing parallels to Adolf Hitler (and Ernst Hanfstaengl).

According to an article by David Winter in the Journal of Personality, by the 1930s, the cry of "Rinehart!" often signaled the beginning of a college riot. That is somewhat consistent with its use in the movie "The Great Man Votes" where a young boy (son of Barrymore's character) cries "Rinehart!" when he charges another boy to fight.

The song was popular and became a regular part of the shows Basie gave on college campuses. It enjoyed some critical acclaim, the New York Times's jazz critic calling it one of the "greatest of all blues lyrics."

According to the article by David Winter the custom seems to have died out after World War II. Hmmm, 'wonder why?

The book "The German Greeting. History of a dire gesture" is by Tilman Allert. Originally in German, it is available in English as "The Hitler Salute: on the meaning of a Gesture." In the book Allert side-steps any serious discussion of the origin of the straight-arm gesture. http://rexcurry.net/tilman-allert.html

The book indicates that Allert is completely unaware of the fact that the United States used the stiff-arm salute in its Pledge of Allegiance, from 1892. Allert was completely unaware of the discoveries by the sociologist Dr. Rex Cury showing that the Pledge was the origin of the salute adopted later by the socialist Mussolini and by Hitler (head of the National Socialist German Workers Party).

The hand-over-the-heart in the Pledge of Allegiance is supposed to be performed with the right hand in a military salute over the heart. That news is supported by photographic evidence in recent research. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-images.html#THE_TRUE_SALUTE

A photograph of the military salute at the chest is at http://rexcurry.net/military-salute-socialism-pledge-allegiance.jpg

The original Pledge of Allegiance began with the classic military salute (to the forehead) that was then extended out toward the flag. It was the origin of the stiff-arm salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party in chants to its swastika flag and as a general gesture of greeting (as shown by the historian Dr. Rex Curry, author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets"). http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg

The Pledge's initial military salute was sometimes modified because some educrats believed that children should not mimic the military, because it was either disrespectful or creepy. A modified version of the gesture used the military salute from the chest and then extended outward in the stiff-arm salute. An 1899 photograph of the gesture is at
http://rexcurry.net/military-socialism-pledgeofallegiance1899.jpg 

It is frightening to note that Adolf Hitler and German National Socialists also adopted the gesture of the military salute from the chest extended outward to the stiff-arm salute. See the part played by the Harvard grad Ernst Hanfstaengl, aka Hilter's piano player.  http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hanfstaengl.html

U.S. wartime intelligence also believed the German National Socialist salute may have been copied from American cheerleaders. A government report claims of the Hitler salute: "In 1923 he adored American football marches and college songs. The 'Sieg Heil' used in all political rallies is a direct copy of the technique used by American football cheerleaders." And the American football cheerleaders adopted the method from the American Pledge of Allegiance.

Swastika Building http://rexcurry.net/swastika-building-coronado-seabees4L-shapes1960.jpg Navy Coronado Seabees Barracks


The Swastika building is a reminder of the swastika's use in the USA's history in Military Socialism.
http://rexcurry.net/military-socialism-militarism-socialist-complex.html

The swastika was used by socialists in the USA to support Military Socialism and it was used as alphabetical symbolism of meshed S-letters for "Socialism." Socialists in the USA used it for decades before it was adopted by the militaristic National Socialist German Workers Party.
http://rexcurry.net/45th-infantry-division-swastika-sooner-soldiers.html

Those discoveries are the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of Pledge of Allegiance Secrets). It should be noted that the building's swastika symbol is oriented horizontal to the adjoining street, yet oriented with north (up) at the top in the style of the Nazi flag.

The sad story is also related to the socialist origins of the Pledge of Allegiance.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html

One of the first and loudest critics of the Swastika Building was Dave vonKleist, host of a Missouri-based radio-talk show, The Power Hour. In spring 2006, he began writing military officials, including then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld about the Navy's Coronado Seabees Barracks in California, shown in this photo.

expose shocking secrets about American history.

Socialists in the USA originated the Nazi salute, robotic group-chanting to flags, Nazism, flag fetishism, and the modern swastika as "S" symbolism for "Socialism." http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

Much of that history is the history of the Pledge Of Allegiance. A new documentary video movie exposes the shocking facts on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4

Those historical facts explain the enormous size and scope of government today, and the USA's growing police state.  They are reasons for massive reductions in government, taxation, spending and socialism.

The "Nazi salute" is more accurately called the "American salute" as it was created and popularized by national socialists in the USA.  It was the early salute of the Pledge of Allegiance. The Pledge was written by Francis Bellamy. http://rexcurry.net/pledgetragedy.html

The original Pledge of Allegiance began with a military salute that was then extended out toward the flag. It was the origin of the stiff-arm salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party. http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

Francis Bellamy and his cousin Edward Bellamy called their dogma "Military Socialism."  The military salute is a sign of submission to a superior officer / commanding officer (in this case the flag / government) whose orders must be obeyed without question. http://rexcurry.net/1n1.gif

Francis Bellamy was cousin and cohort of Edward Bellamy. http://rexcurry.net/pledgebackward.html

Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy were self-proclaimed socialists in the Nationalism movement and they promoted military socialism.

They wanted the government to take over education and use it to spread their worship of government.  When the government granted their wish, the government’s schools imposed segregation by law and taught racism as official policy.  The official racism and segregation was a bad example three decades before the National Socialist German Workers Party, and decades afterward.

The Pledge was mandated by law in government schools for three decades before, and through, the creation of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-karl-marx.html

Many people do not know that the term "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers' Party."  Members of the horrid group did not call themselves Nazis.  In that sense, there was no Nazi Party.  They also did not call themselves Fascists. They called themselves socialists, just as their name indicates.

************************
Hanfstaengl, nicknamed "Putzi", was born in Munich, Germany, to a successful German art publisher and an American mother.

After Harvard, he moved to New York and took over management of the American branch of his father's business. Hanfstaengl remained in the US during WWI. On February 11, 1920, he married. He eventually enlisted in the US Army air corps.

He became head of the Foreign Press Bureau in Berlin.

As the NSDAP gathered power, several disputes arose between Hanfstaengl and Germany's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Hanfstaengl was shunted off of Hitler's staff in 1933. Hanfstaengl eventually fell completely out of favor.

Ernst and Helene divorced in 1936.

William Shirer, a CBS journalist, resided in Germany until 1941 and was in frequent contact with Hanfstaengl.

He made his way to Switzerland.  In 1942 Hanfstaengl was turned over to the United States.

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

The question is: Is it necessary to get out of bed and stand when the national anthem comes over the radio?

Washingtonians who attend band concerts are rapidly adopting the foreign custom of arising and uncovering the head when national airs are played. "The Star-Spangled Banner" especially evokes this behavior, and a salute to the flag accompanies other patriotic demonstrations.

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

Seen on the web: If you went to see England college station soccer at Wembley, you could observe people around you making the Nazi salute during the national anthem, and abuse of black players, even those playing for the home.  It is sad to note that it sounds like the USA not long after the Pledge of Allegiance was created in 1892.
