Imprisoned at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and later at Dachau, he was kept in isolation and made to eat and exercise alone. Yet he was kept alive for almost the duration of the war. On 9 April, 1945, Special Security Prisoner Eiler (his name was deliberately altered) was executed on the personal orders of Heinrich Himmler.

Washington policymakers should be aware of the consequences of early pledge activity, the undesirable contents of conventional "robotic chanting" education programs, and the findings of the professional literature concerning the effectiveness of genuine abstinence-only programs.

one nation, under guard

The original pledge began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children casually performing the forced ritual chanting. Professor Curry showed that, due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the Nazi salute. The Nazi salute is an extended military salute via the USA's pledge. http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html

Francis Bellamy and his cousin Edward Bellamy called their dogma "Military Socialism." The "swastika building" at the Navy's Coronado Seabees Barracks in California is an odd reminder of the dogma. http://rexcurry.net/military-socialism-militarism-socialist-complex.html

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

The pledge and the Bellamy dogma of military socialism explain why Americans today refer to the President as "our Commander in Chief" and behave as if they are all in the military and required to salute.

This photograph is often used in lectures at government schools and universities. The original photograph is displayed at the start of the presentation and the audience is asked "What does this photograph show?"

The incorrect answer that is always given by spectators involves variations of: "German children under Adolf Hitler."

The correct answer is never received from audiences.

Often, after the correct answer is explained in a lengthy lecture with additional photographs and films, some students/teachers/spectators still do not believe it.

Pledge of Allegiance http://rexcurry.net/nazi%20salute%206.jpg Pledge of Allegiance

The Confederate Flag has been denounced by comparing it to the Nazi Swastika Flag. If the current American Flag (the Stars and Stripes) is compared with the Swastika Flag under the National Socialist German workers Party, then similarities are visible that are more shocking. Socialists in the USA used the American flag to originate the Nazi salute, robotic group-chanting to flags, Nazism, flag fanaticism, and the modern use of the swastika as "S" symbolism for "Socialism." The socialist Pledgeophiles wanted government to take children from parents, and wanted government to take over all schools. When the government granted their wish, the government schools imposed segregation by law and taught racism as official policy. It set a horrid example for the world for three decades before the National Socialist German Workers' Party was formed and adopted similar behavior. The bad behavior of socialists in the USA outlasted the German National Socialists by decades. Even after official segregation ended in government schools, the socialist system imposed mandatory busing that destroyed neighborhoods and deepened hostilities.

There are frightening similarities to the way anti-black laws were imposed in socialized (government) services in the United States and anti-Jewish laws were imposed in socialized (government) services in Germany under the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Similar behavior led to Brown v. Board of Education http://rexcurry.net/schoolbrown.html

Note that Godwin’s Law ceases to apply when people really act like genuine Nazis, e.g. robotic chanting and by persecuting people for exercise of free speech (e.g. by persecuting students who refuse to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, which was the origin of the stiff-arm salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party).

Rexwin's Law is the loophole to Godwin's Law. The loophole is to always and only use the full phrase “National Socialist German Workers’ Party” in place of the misleading abbreviation "Nazi" that is used almost exclusively by the general public (and by all victims of government schools (socialist schools)) due to rampant ignorance about what the abbreviation abbreviates. Most people do not know the etymology of the shorthand slang "Nazi" and they do not know that members of the National Socialist German Workers Party did not refer to themselves as "Nazis." http://rexcurry.net/godwin.html

Pledging Allegiance: The Politics of Patriotism in America's Schools

The Pledge of Allegiance is a witch hunt that begins every morning in government schools (socialist schools) in the USA. The witch test was created by Francis Bellamy who touted his self-proclaimed "Christian Socialist" dogma in 1892. http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

It is the government's obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) of robotic chanting and ubiquitous flags in government schools (socialist schools). Pledging allegiance is the politics of patriotism in America's schools. http://rexcurry.net/mental-illness-psychopaths-sociopaths-socialists-insanity.html

Its influence is similar to that upon Ivan Pavlov's dogs. http://rexcurry.net/pavlov's-dogs-brainwashing-ivan-pavlov-socialism.html

The pledge was the origin of the straight-arm salute adopted decades later by German National Socialists. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg

People who refused to partake in verbally goosestepping to the flag were persecuted. Anyone refusing to perform the stiff-arm salute and mechanical chant to the national flag was expelled or worse. That was the flag of the USA and the German swastika flag (in Germany it was not called a "swastika," it was a "Hakenkreuz" meaning hooked-cross, a type of cross). It happened at the same time. The USA's flag ritualism was only one swastika short of being there. However, the USA's bad behavior was started by American National Socialists three decades before it was adopted by the National Socialist German Workers Party, as shown in the work of the documentarian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets"). Violence and lynchings occurred in the USA and in Germany. The violence in the USA over flag ritualism predated that of Germany by decades.

It is the way that Americans pray to their criminal politicians as if they were saints (satans?).

The dogma behind the USA's daily domestic terrorism was the same dogma behind the socialist crusades and inquisitions of the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): ~20 million slaughtered under the National Socialist German Workers' Party; ~60 million under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; ~50 million under the Peoples' Republic of China. http://rexcurry.net/inquisitions-heresy-socialism.html

The government schools (socialist schools) in the USA imposed segregation by law, and taught racism as official policy, and their behavior outlasted German Socialism by decades. Even after the official racism in government schools ended in the USA, it was replaced by forced busing and that heightened hostilities and destroyed neighborhoods.

Pledging Allegiance: the politics of patriotism in America's schools http://rexcurry.net/i-pledge-allegiance-to-the-flag.jpg Pledge Of Allegiance

Many people have marveled at Adolf Hilter's "hypnotic" powers and his propaganda skills, 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. They put the government's fasciated flag over schools, in classrooms and everywhere.

They even worked to put flags (and chanting to flags) in churches in another eerie parallel followed later by socialists in Germany.

Francis Bellamy's original Columbus Day program was a blueprint of nationwide propaganda for socialism in government schools. They dictated daily robotic chanting and puerile adulation. People who refused were persecuted. As the government's schools spread, segregation was imposed by law and racism was taught as official policy.

"An unintended consequence of the Pledge Of Allegiance is that it is a frightening reminder of the large value of the Bill Of Rights - especially the Second Amendment."

The Pledge Of Allegiance is Anti-American.

The Pledge of Allegiance is identity theft.

Many students (and adult Americans) mumble over the oath or cross their fingers while saying it. But many in the "land of the free and the home of the brave" have the courage to refuse it and to openly oppose it. http://rexcurry.net/stopthepledge.html

Due to the USA's growing police state, the country's motto continues to be tweaked. Here is the latest proposal: "America: the least worst place!"

TRUTH HAS TAKEN A PERMANENT VACATION

The Pledge is the government's way of telling you that it does not trust you and that it thought you were a liar yesterday when it made you chant about allegiance. It will feel the same way about you tomorrow when it makes you do it again. And the next day. And so on, and so on.......
http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

The Pledge is the government's paranoia. It is the government's hate speech against little children (and the parents who raise them). http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg

The Pledge is the type of robotic daily degradation that explains heavy drug use, alcoholism and other self-destructive behavior in students, and ex-students (adults). It turns Americans into the Rude Mechanicals.

The Pledge began in 1892 and alchohol prohibition began in 1919. The Bellamys supported old prohibition and they would have supported America's current war on individual liberty: modern prohibition. http://rexcurry.net/drugs-prohibition-party-today.html

Francis Bellamy, after he wrote the Pledge of Allegiance, was asked "Are you on drugs?!?!" To which Bellamy replied "I am the drug. Take me."

Today, when teachers command students to chant the pledge / drink the Kool-aid, many students respond "Are you high?!?!"

Socialism / Government is the opiate of the masses.

In the movie "Matrix," the character Morpheus: You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. (a red pill is shown in Morpheus' other hand) You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. (Long pause; Neo begins to reach for the red pill). Morpheus: Remember -- all I am offering is the truth, nothing more. (Neo takes the red pill and swallows it with a glass of water).

It is no wonder that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was infamous for alcoholism (usually via vodka). Drugs are a way to endure the misery and persecution of government and socialism. Vices are a way to escape. http://rexcurry.net/vicesdutch.html

In the same way that socialism inspires depression, hopelessness, despair, violence, it also inspires misanthropy. Socialism (hatred/destruction of individuality and individual liberty) is misanthropy, and it inspires more misanthropy in response. http://rexcurry.net/anarchaeology.html

During WWI the American salute was the stiff-armed salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis). French children greeting American Soliders on their way to the front in France use the American salute for Americans in World War I.

Note the source of the photo: the Committee on Public Information (CPI, the Creel Committee) in the United States. The USA was already a police state and proud of it. http://rexcurry.net/medianazi.html

The United States military also used the swastika symbol (hooked cross) in WWI, against Germany et cetera, before the symbol was adopted by the National Socialist German Workers Party. http://rexcurry.net/45th-infantry-division-swastika-sooner-soldiers.html

The government in the United States was using the fasces symbol before it was adopted by Mussolini when he was a well-known socialist writer and leader. In 1915, fasces appeared on an Indian head gold coin in the talons of an eagle. In 1916, fasces appeared on the Mercury dime. It was propaganda to con Americans into another one of the many stupid wars that the USA's government either started or joined: WWI (the war to make the world safe for democracy, har har). That propaganda supplemented flag waving, the Pledge of Allegiance (with its stiff-armed salute) and similar silliness.
http://rexcurry.net/fascism=socialism.html

National Socialism originated in the USA. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-national-socialism.html

Of course, WWI led to WWII and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Dear Gutless Newspaper Reporter,

How does it feel to write propaganda for the government? You are too gutless to do anything else. Here is a glaring example of yours -

You wrote "A few times a year, other students decide not to stand for the pledge, Yancey said, but no child has been disciplined for that choice. A teacher or principal usually talks to the student about their decision."

You are so gutless, you can't bear to ask why students are "talked to" (har har) about not saying the pledge. How about a bit more detail and investigation? Ask for some names and do interviews. Oh, wait you are too gutless. But according to your other propaganda, students are only asked to stand for the pledge. So why are they "talked to" when they don't stand for the pledge?

You wrote: "Yancey said he can only remember three times that a child didn't stand for the pledge while he was principal. And in those cases, he said, it wasn't a philosophical objection."

You are so gutless. How about a bit more detail and investigation? Why is the principal involved when, according to your propaganda, students are only asked to stand for the pledge? Ask for some names and do interviews about the ones who saw the principal. Oh, wait you are too gutless.

You imagine that no one noticed that you revealed in your article that students are never informed that they do not have to stand.

And you reveal that the true history of the pledge is never taught by the schools nor by you, because, if it were taught, no one would perform the pledge.

And it is clear you are also too gutless to ever print a photo of the early American stiff-arm salute, or discuss that at all.

Oh and this is hilarious propaganda that you repeated: "They usually apologized and never did it again," Yancey said.

You are so gutless. How about a bit more detail and investigation? Ask for some names and do interviews about the ones who "apologized." Oh, wait you are too gutless. But according to your other propaganda, students are only asked to stand for the pledge. So why were they "talked to" so much that they "apologized" (har har)?

Your writing is similar to the writing that existed in that other notorious place that adopted the American stiff-arm salute.

MIRANDA WARNING FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE? In Florida, an ACLU attorney successfully argued a case before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in defense of high school student, Cameron Frazier, who abstained from reciting the Pledge because of “personal political beliefs” and, according to the lawsuit, was “singled out and humiliated” by his teacher.

“We made the case that students must be informed that they are not required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance,” Marshall told FOXNews.com.

"It’s not a challenge to the content of the Pledge. Only that students be informed that they are not required to recite it."

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

A FAN SENT THIS PROPOSED MIRANDA WARNING FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE -
You are under arrest and in prison (in your government school / socialist school).
You have the right to remain silent, but only in regard to the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
That means that you may refuse to robotically and collectively chant the Pledge.
Anything you say can be used against you.
You do not have the right to a lawyer.
Do you understand these rights? (Class robotically chants "yes" and/or "no" in response to the question)

The warnings could be given during the assembly line search of persons and bags (with the x-rays and magnetometers) at the school entrance each day, or barked over the concentration camp speakers during re-education classes, or when the children are marched out of class and lined up for the sniffer-dog searches of their persons and lockers, or simply during any drug raid such as that at Goose Creek High School.

The original socialist Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the salute adopted later by the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party. This is the only place that tells you the WHOLE story, not the propaganda version told in government schools (socialist schools).

Court litigation about the Pledge of Allegiance is fascinating. As a pro bono service to help the media and the public understand the bigger issues, Dr. Rex Curry collects astounding historic photos and information about the pledge and this is the only place to find them.

A recent court case led to scary discoveries about the Pledge’s pedigree. A libertarian made the historic news-breaking discovery that exposed the Pledge as the origin of the salute of the monstrous National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazis).

A recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court was a blessing in disguise, because it provided a temporary delay and avoided the primary issue. It allowed the fight to widen against the entire Pledge, not just two words.

As a libertarian and a lawyer, Dr. Rex Curry is spearheading future court litigation as a pro bono service to the public to liberate Americans from government pushing the totalitarian Pledge. http://www.rexcurry.net/pledge5.html

Some of the litigation started in the case of U.S. v. Wonschik at http://www.rexcurry.net/pledge4.html

“Pledge II” will be a blockbuster sequel.

A QUICK SCARY OVERVIEW - about the ideas that inspired the pledge and caused atrocities worldwide.

THE BELLAMY COUSINS - Francis Bellamy wrote the pledge, Edward Bellamy inspired Francis, both were socialists,
and the ideas that inspired them and the pledge caused mass atrocities worldwide.
FRANCIS BELLAMY - 1855-1931. He wrote the pledge and he died just as his salute & ideas became even more infamous.
EDWARD BELLAMY - 1850-1898. He wrote "Looking Backward" but he didn't have to look back at his socialist slaughter.

BELLAMY'S SPEECH - for the first time ever on the internet: the speech that accompanied the first Pledge of Allegiance.
It is exposed and explained with references to the "Industrial Army" in "Looking Backward." Summary, analysis, quotes, notes, themes.
THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE - and the worship of government. A different look at the ideas in the Newdow case.

THE MILITARY-SOCIALISM COMPLEX - even more secret photos of the original military salute.
THE SALUTE - Did government schools in the U.S. inspire the National Socialist German Worker's Party?

STUDENTS DEFY THE SOCIALIST PLEDGE - these resources help them to stop the Pledge in government schools (and out).
MUST YOU OR STUDENTS SALUTE THE FLAG ? or say the pledge in government schools?
THE MYTH OF SOCIALIZATION - government schools teach intolerance and regimentation.
SEGREGATION & RACISM - as official government policy from socialism and its government schools.
SOCIALISM'S RACISM -in government schools abetted by Francis Bellamy.
BELLAMY WAS A BIGOT - and socialism and government schools are inherently racist and bigoted.

ATHEISTS & SOCIALISTS - do they disagree with the kids in the Gobitas Case? What about the Supreme Court's Newdow case?
REPUBLICANS WHO LIKE THE PLEDGE - are they the Society of Christian Socialists? Which case do they like and why? What do they believe about the Pledge of Allegiance to the Christian Flag?

FANS WRITE scary details about the old pledge & survival tips if you keep reciting.
A GERMAN FAN - says "Thanks!" for showing that crazy socialists in the U.S. created the salute and ideas
before German socialists did it in the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
GERMAN-AMERICAN BUND - the History Channel documentary leaves a lot out.
MORE GERMAN TIES - U.S. socialists promoted racism, eugenics and hatred of individuality & differences.
THE MEDIA - won't show you photos of the U.S. flag's original socialist salute. And government schools won't either.
INTERNET SEARCHES - RexCurry.net pioneers philosophical concepts untouched by media & the public.
REWARD $$$$ - this site pays for historic photos showing the original U.S. flag salute.
POSTCARDS TO SHARE - of the U.S. flag's original socialist salute.
REX'S IMPROVED PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE - for government to pledge to you.
A SOCIALIST WROTE THE PLEDGE - for allegiance to socialism in government schools.
FLAG DAY LETTER - June 14 letter to the editor for you to use to educate the public & media.

It is a myth that the Pledge’s original straight-arm salute is an ancient Roman salute. http://www.rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

To a totalitarian socialist, "liberty and justice for all" means the opposite of what it means for everyone else.
When a totalitarian socialist says "liberty and justice for all" he is telling you that he wants to rob and enslave you.

The only reason that people don't despise the hand-over-the-heart salute is because it wasn't used by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

Nazi salute http://ftp.ij.net/rex/nazi%20salute%204.jpg

Nazi salute http://ftp.ij.net/rex/nazi%20salute%209.jpg

In addition to the notorious salute, American socialists (e.g. Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy teamed with the Theosophical Society and Freemasons) also bear some blame for the notorious symbol usd by the National Socialist German Workers Party. The same symbol was used by the Theosophical Society during the time when the Bellamys, Freemasons and the Theosophical Society worked together. They also helped spread the stiff arm salute via the Pledge at their meetings.
