New discoveries show that Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, beginning as
early as 1907, influenced the use of the Nazi salute and the swastika
symbol worldwide. As a consequence, the swastika and the stiff-arm
salute became symbols of socialism around the world.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html

The discoveries are in the growing body of work by the historian Dr.
Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets") who has previously shown how
socialists in the USA originated the modern swastika as overlapping "S"
letters for "Socialists" joining together in a utopian "Socialist
Society." The swastika symbol had previously been a generic ancient
symbol.

Graduates/victims of government schools may find it hard to believe:
scouts used the swastika, the straight-arm gesture, robotic chanting,
and uniform dress, 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.

During the time when Scouts adopted the swastika, the symbol was
associated in the USA with the growing popularity of paramilitarism and
"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.

The symbol was also famous in the USA as alphabetical symbolism for
socialism in the Theosophical Society (TS), from 1875.

In 1888, the Theosophical Society teamed up with Bellamy's Nationalist
movement for military socialism. The Bellamy swastika spread.

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

For more information on the swastika as alphabetical symbolism see
http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hakenkreuz.html

The swastika was also adopted by American soldiers in the 45th Infantry
Division and in the Escadrille Lafayette Americaine during World War I
and adorned shoulder patches, flags and American planes used to fought
against Germany.

In 1921, the swastika's meshed "S" letters acquired the alphabetic
symbolism of "Scout Submission" in scouting along with the concept of
self-sacrifice (even the ultimate self-sacrifice) because it
represented a cross. It is important to note that the Nazis did not
call their symbols a "swastika," but called it a "Hakenkreuz," which
means "hooked cross" because it was a type of cross. That also tied the
scout swastika into the Bellamy dogma which was also known as
"Christian Socialism."

Scout founder Baden-Powell wrote "The Swastika" in "What Scouts Can Do:
More Yarns" and attempted to give the swastika an etymological meaning
that is different from the other popular idea that it the symbol meant
"well being" or "good luck." According to Baden-Powell's first
comments, the swastika meant "Obedience or Submission, the different
arms of the cross being in reality legs in the attitude of kneeling."
Thus, Baden-Powell also recognizes the swastika as a type of cross with
religious significance. Baden-Powell also mentioned in passing
Norsemen, Greeks, and myths about Atlantis.

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is a United States Scouting
organization, with some presence in other countries. The BSA is the
largest youth organization in the United States; over one hundred
million Americans have been members. Founded in the USA in 1910, the
movement had a registered membership of 2,938,698 youth with 1,146,130
leaders in 122,582 units as of the end of 2005.

The BSA sprang from the concerns of the socialist movement in the
United States. It was a concern that grew from the military socialism
of Francis Bellamy and Edward Bellamy. The BSA adheres to the Scout
method to teach values such as patriotism, citizenship, and
outdoorsmanship through a variety of activities, including outdoor
activities.

The BSA utilizes uniforms and advancement in rank similar to the
military. The BSA operates through units such as troops, packs, and
crews.

The socialist movement in the United States was at its height during
the early twentieth century. Socialists were concerned that young men
had too much individualism and were not learning patriotism,
citizenship, and self-sacrifice. The Young Mens Christian Association
(YMCA) was an early promoter. Baden-Powell started Scouting in 1907 and
the movement began to grow.

In 1909, Chicago publisher W. D. Boyce was visiting London, England
where he learned of the Scouting movement. Upon his return to the US,
Boyce incorporated the Boy Scouts of America on February 8, 1910. The
YMCA became interested in the nascent BSA program and provided support.

The Pledge of Allegiance salute was adopted in scouting as shown in
1934 photos. A further description is below.
Photograph at http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouts.jpg

The original Pledge of Allegiance was created in 1892. The early Pledge
of Allegiance used a straight-arm salute that was the origin of the
salute used later by the horrid National Socialist German Workers'
Party. The USA was the origin of the Nazi salute, robotic
group-chanting to flags, Nazism, flag fetishism, and the modern
swastika as "S" symbolism for "Socialism," as shown in they research of
the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry.

The original first printing of the Boy's Cubbook in 1930 still showed
the use of the stiff-arm salutes by Scouts.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting-cubbook-wolf1930.JPG

This printing was recalled after release by BSA to change to the Cub
Scout salute (on page 23). The reason is found in the History of Cub
Scouting, published by BSA in 1987. This is a quote from page 13: "The
Boy's Cubbook for Wolf rank was published while the first packs were
being chartered in April 1930. It was quickly revised to change the
Cub salute. In the original edition, the salute was the Indian sign
for peace, with right arm upraised, palm out. Apparently leaders saw
that the salute was disconceertingly similar to the Nazi salute of
Adolf Hitler, who was beginning his rise to power in Germany enroute to
engulfing the world in war. The new salute was the familar
two-fingered touch of the right hand to the forehead." The 1987
explanation is almost as inaccurate as the original 1930 book in
repeating the American-Indian myth, and showing complete ignorance of
the use of the gesture in the early Pledge of Allegiance.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting-cubbook-wolf1930b.JPG

BSA destroyed whatever original printings they had.

Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts still use a remnant of the early Pledge of
Allegiance. Scouts use a military-style salute that developed from the
initial military salute of the Pledge. A stereotypical Scout website
states that scouts should memorize the pledge, that the "denner" (den
leader) should lead the group in the pledge at meetings, and the web
site mimics government schools by providing the usual shallow
propaganda about Francis Bellamy and the Pledge

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.

Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward
Bellamy (author of the novel "Looking Backward") and Charles Bellamy
(author of "A Moment of Madness") and Frederick Bellamy (who introduced
Edward to socialistic "Fourierism") were socialists. Edward, Charles
and Frederick were brothers, and Francis was their cousin. Francis and
Edward were both self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported
the "Nationalism" movement in the USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, and
the "Nationalist Educational Association." Edward inspired the
"Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists
worldwide (including Germany) via "Nationalist Clubs." They touted
their dogma of "military socialism" and the "industrial army" because
they wanted all of society to ape the military.

This may be hard to believe for graduates/victims of government
schools: Americans wore swastika shoulder patches and used the
striaght-arm gesture, all before the same was done under the National
Socialist German Workers' Party. The USA was the origin of that
behavior under German National Socialism.

It is worth noting that Americans still use the greeting "hello" as
they did then, and it is related to the German greeting "Heil" and thus
to "Heil Hitler." The term "hello" is used for hailing people and is
related to the phrase "Hail to the chief," and to these words: hail,
heal, health. It is also related to the term "salud," meaning "health,"
and thus to the term "salute" and the act of saluting, which included
the manner of saying "hello."

The straight-arm gesture had been spread in the USA by the government's
takeover of schools. Laws had been imposed that required children in
government schools (socialist schools) in the USA to robotically chant
the Pledge with the stiff-arm salute.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Francis Bellamy created the pledge to the USA's flag (1892). The early
Pledge began with a military salute that then extended out toward the
flag into a straight-arm salute.

Francis Bellamy was cousin and cohort to Edward Bellamy, author of the
bible of National Socialism "Looking Backward" (1888) an international
bestseller. Edward Bellamy's National Socialism movement teamed up with
H. P. Blavatsky's Theosophical Society to spread the dogma worldwide.
Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society used the swastika as alphabetic
symbolism for their utopian "socialist society."

The Bellamy swastika and Bellamy salute spread globally.

Both Bellamys were self-proclaimed socialists in the nationalism
movement in the USA, and they called their dogma "military socialism."
They wanted all of society to ape the military and they wanted the
government to take over all schools in order to create their
"industrial army" and spread their dogma through children.

It is important to remember that the above history would not have been
unknown to people associated with the 45th Infantry when the swastika
was adopted as its symbol, nor to other Americans who viewed the 45th
Infantry's new symbol.

The USA influenced the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the
National Socialist German Workers' Party, and the Peoples' Republic of
China in their flag fetishism, civilian salutes, military socialism,
the use of government schools (socialist schools), and robotic chanting
in worship of government and government officials.

The USA originated Nazi salutes, flag fetishism, Nazism, robotic
group-chanting to flags, and the modern swastika symbol, as shown in
the research of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry. Amazing graphic
images that prove the point are linked at
http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html

Both the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the National Socialist
German Workers' Party followed the socialist trend in the USA in using
the swastika as a symbol for socialism.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

It all resulted in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was
a part): 65 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics; 49 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million
under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The socialist
Wholecaust was the worst loss of human life in history.

The USA is still the worst example in the world of bizarre laws that
require robotic chanting to a national flag in government schools
(socialist schools) every day for 12 years. It has changed generations
of Americans from libertarians to authoritarians. The government
bamboozled individuals into believing that robotic group-chanting in
government schools is a beautiful expression of freedom. Frightening
