The
Nazi salute has been traced to Rome, NY. The straight-arm salute began in the
city of
Rome in the state of New York, and not in Rome, Italy, according to a
new book "Swastikas, Holocausts, Nazis & the USA"
http://rexcurry.net/pledgerome.html. The Nazi salute has been known as
the "Roman" salute and attributed without support to ancient Rome,
http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html. New evidence shows that the
Roman salute and its name originated from Rome, NY via Francis Bellamy, author
of the USA's pledge of allegiance, who grew up in Rome and is buried there. The
pledge originally used the straight-arm salute. Eye-popping photos are at
http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html.
And a jaw-dropping timeline is at
http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter1a1i.html.
New York's Nazi salute began in 1892 when the pledge was written. The Roman
salute myth arose from the fact that Francis Bellamy (the author of the pledge
of allegiance and of its original straight-arm salute) was from the city of Rome
(in the state of New York, not in Italy) and people and things from the city in
New York state were referred to as "Roman" and still are today.
Francis Bellamy and his cousin and cohort Edward Bellamy were self-proclaimed
socialists in the nationalism movement, they espoused "military socialism" and
they wrote for the "Nationalist" magazine and its "Nationalist Educational
Association" (NEA) named with deliberate similarity to the National Education
Association (NEA). Only one place on the internet exposes the "Nationalist"
magazine and it is below or at
http://rexcurry.net/pledgegermany.html. Francis Bellamy was also a
leader in the National Education Association (NEA) and used it to promote his
dogma. The Bellamys advocated nationalization of the entire economy, and that
government take over schools and eliminate all of the better alternatives. They
wanted government schools to produce an "industrial army" (a Bellamy term)
explicitly modeled upon the military. That is why they supported a national flag
over every school and a daily pledge of allegiance to the national government.
The government's schools institutionalized segregation and taught racism as
official policy. During that time children in government-schools were required
by law to salute the flag with the straight-armed salute in military formation
daily on the ring of a government bell, like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state.
The bizarre practice in the USA served as an example for three decades before it
was
adopted by the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party). When
Jesse Owens competed in the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany, his neighbors
attended segregated government schools where they saluted the flag with the Nazi
salute. As under Nazism, Jehovah's Witnesses and others in the USA were
persecuted for refusing to perform the straight-arm salute and robotically chant
the pledge. They were also expelled from government schools and had to use the
many better alternatives. The U.S. practice of official racism and segregation
in government schools even outlasted the horrid Nazi Party, into the 1960's and
beyond. Thereafter, the Bellamy legacy caused more police-state racism of forced
busing that destroyed communities and neighborhoods and deepened hostilities.
Francis Bellamy(1) (1855-1932) was born in Mount Morris, New York, where his
father, David Bellamy, was working as a pastor for the Baptist Church. In 1859,
David accepted a call at the First Baptist Church in Rome, New York and remained
there raising Francis. David Bellamy died there in 1864.
Francis began schooling and graduated from Rome Free Academy (RFA -the
government high school that is still there) in 1872, later becoming RFA's first
president of its Alumni Association. The RFA started as a non-government school
in 1847 when a meeting of citizens established Rome Academy. The Board of
Trustees accepted a land site gift from the estate of Dominick Lynch. In 1848
the RFA opened with a principal and six teachers. It was a non-government school
for 20 years until, in 1869, a government school district with a Board of
Education was created and Rome Academy became "Rome Free Academy." In 1873,
after RFA, Bellamy entered the University of Rochester where he studied for the
Baptist ministry.
The City might have been named after the school, in that the school began in
1847, and the city was not incorporated until 23 years later, in 1870. It is
unclear why the school and the city took on the name "Rome" though it was
probably in awe of the ancient Italian city.
Francis Bellamy admired ancient Rome and its militarism, and he grew up in the
city of Rome in New York, where he and his neighbors were known as "Romans," and
he was educated in the Rome Academy there.
Bellamy's admiration for ancient Rome and for the military inspired Bellamy to
espouse "military socialism" and nationalization of the entire economy including
schools.
The Bellamys were self-proclaimed National Socialists in the USA three decades
before the National Socialists in Germany, and the USA's National Socialists
promoted their dogma and their original straight-armed salute to the USA's flag
for three decades ahead of the similar dogma and behavior of National Socialists
in Germany.
It was a philosophy that led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust
was a part) where millions were murdered (62 million by the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics, 35 million by the Peoples' Republic of China, 21 million by
the National Socialist German Workers' Party) in the worst slaughter in history.
The slaughter was so enormous that Holocaust Museums can triple in size and
scope as Wholecaust Museums. That is why the Bellamys are known as America's
Nazis.
In 1898 the New York state legislature was the first in the nation to pass a
statute forcing children in government schools to robotically chant the
socialist's pledge. In 1905, as many as 19 States had passed school flag laws.
To this very day New York still has a law forcing teachers to lead a recitation
of the socialist pledge in socialist schools (government schools). Many other
states do too. Rome NY boasts that it is the final resting place for Francis
Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Allegiance. True enough, though Bellamy died
somewhere else. Tampa Florida boasts that it is where Francis Bellamy died, and
Tampa also boasts that it is where the socialist's pledge of allegiance will die
too.
Rome in the state of New York, and not in Rome, Italy, according to a
