Was the National Socialist German Workers'
Party influenced by the U.S.A.? In 1892 a self-proclaimed socialist
created the pledge of allegiance and the original salute to the U.S. flag.
The salute included an outstretched arm (the only place that collects
secret photos of the original socialist salute to the U.S. flag is

The National Socialist German Workers' Party was aware of the salute to
the U.S. flag when it adopted its salute.
Government schools in the U.S. followed a policy that
was later adopted by the National Socialist German Workers' Party: punishing
and expelling children from government schools if they refused to perform
the straight-arm socialist salute and robotic chanting. In 1940, in
Minersville School Board v. Gobitas, the Supreme Court ruled that a government
school could expel children for refusing to perform the straight-arm socialist
salute to the U.S. flag. The National Socialist German Workers’ Party
had been in existence since 1920 (with electoral breakthroughs in 1930 and
dictatorship in 1933, and WWII in 1939). About three years later (1943),
in West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette the Supreme Court reversed
itself and decided that school children may not be forced to stand and salute
the flag.

The U.S. salute was so similar that the U.S. changed
its salute after the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party tried
to impose socialism in Europe.
Francis Bellamy, the author of the pledge, was the first
cousin of another socialist, Edward Bellamy. Edward Bellamy's futuristic
novel, "Looking Backward," published in 1888, described a totalitarian Boston
in the year 2000, that Edward Bellamy portrayed as a utopia. The book
spawned a socialist movement in Boston known as "Nationalism," whose members
wanted the federal government to nationalize most of the American economy.
Francis Bellamy was a member of the "Nationalism" movement and a vice
president of its socialist auxiliary group.
The Bellamy boys promoted a government take over of
all education, in an effort to eliminate all of the better alternatives,
and the government schools imposed racism and segregation through WWII and
even the 1960's. It was the same segregation described in Edward Bellamy's
book "Equality" where blacks are allowed to participate in Bellamy's
"industrial army" but kept separate from whites.

The book was translated into 20 foreign languages.
It was popular among the elite in pre-revolutionary Russia, and was even
read by Lenin's wife. John Dewey and the historian Charles Beard intended
to praise the book by stating that it was matched in influence only by Das
Kapital.
The Bellamys saw government schools as a means to their
socialist "Nationalism." In the book "Looking Backward" government
schools are the way that the government forces everyone into its "Industrial
Army." Those were views later shared by the National Socialist German Workers'
Party. For more info on the horrid National Socialist German Workers'

The self-proclaimed socialist Francis Bellamy
proposed the original socialist salute and the pledge after he joined the
staff of the magazine "Youth's Companion." The salute and pledge
were created by Bellamy to promote socialism among the youth in the most
socialistic institution -government schools. When the U.S. Constitution
was written, most children received private educations. Bellamy lived
during the time when schools were becoming socialized heavily in the United
States. Bellamy believed that the best way to promote socialism was
by removing children from their parents and placing them in socialized schools
(government schools) and other youth groups. It was a view later shared
by the National Socialist German Workers' Party and its youth programs.
Socialists use a sense of belonging to seduce people.
Socialist schools (government schools) are used to destroy individuality
and create dependence on government. Bellamy had often lectured on the
so-called "virtues of socialism and the evils of capitalism." Adherents
of the National Socialist German Workers' Party did the same.
