Re: Neo-McCarthyism now in America |
This is a public debate challenge to Professor Todd Gitlin (author of
"The Intellectuals and the Flag") to debate Dr. Rex Curry (author of
"The Pledge of Allegiance & the Bellamys). The debate topic is the
Pledge of Allegiance and its putrid past. If acceptance of the debate
challenge is not received within one week then, via your default,
victory will be publicly declared over you (via your default) on this
topic in this debate challenge.
Gitlin has used his book to laud Francis Bellamy, the author of the
Pledge of Allegiance (and a socialist) and to laud Edward Bellamy
(cousin to Francis and author of the international bestseller "Looking
Backward" that spawned a worldwide socialist movement).
Gitlin's remarks suggest that he is ignorant about the history of the
Pledge of Allegiance, and the following points would be the topic of
debate:
Gitlin seems ignorant of the fact that the Pledge of Allegiance
originally used a straight-arm salute.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html Gitlin has probably
never viewed actual historic photographs of the early pledge.
Gitlin seems unaware of recent discoveries by Dr. Rex Curry showing
that Francis Bellamy's pledge was the origin of the salute of the
National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Gitlin seems unaware that the Bellamys were self-proclaimed National
Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism" movement in the USA,
the "Nationalist" magazine, the "Nationalist Educational Association,"
and their dogma of "military socialism" and an "industrial army," and
Edward inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma
influenced socialists in Germany.
Gitlin even seems to be unaware that the actual name of Hitler's group
was the "National Socialist German Workers' Party," and that the group
did not use the hackneyed shorthand that is used by most university
professors.
Gitlin's book is a reminder of the terrifying "American experiment"
that Edward Bellamy wanted to impose on the USA.
Francis Bellamy 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. They considered themselves to be very
patriotic. They wanted to nationalize everything and they wanted all of
society to ape the military and they touted "military socialism" and
the "industrial army." Edward's book was an international bestseller,
translated into every major language (including Russian, German,
Chinese & Italian) and he inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA)
and their dogma influenced socialists worldwide (including Russia,
Germany, China & Italy) via "Nationalist Clubs."
The philosophy behind the pledge inspired socialists in those countries
that suffered the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a
part): 62 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics; 35 million slaughtered under the Peoples' Republic of China;
21 million slaughtered under the National Socialist German Workers'
Party.
The book does to much to affirm the statist quo and the author's "own
side." A fair criticism is that Gitlin is trapped in a straight-jacket
of left-right political analysis, as taught in government schools. But
his book could be used to help people learn how the flag and the pledge
debunk grade-school political analysis.
At the time that Mussolini and Hitler found their salute they were both
self-proclaimed socialists and leaders in their movements. Adolf
Hitler's symbol (the swastika), although it was an ancient symbol, was
used sometimes by the National Socialist German Workers Party to
represent overlapping "S" letters for their "socialism," as shown in
the book "Swastika Secrets" by Dr. Rex Curry. The same symbolism is
shown in the bizarre signature of Hitler, which Hitler altered to use
the same stylized "S" letter for "socialist"; in the fact that the
NSGWP's symbol was turned 45 degrees to the horizontal and oriented in
the S direction; and in similar alphabetic symbolism that still shows
on Volkswagens.
The raised-arm salute was not an ancient Roman salute, and the "ancient
Roman salute" is a myth. The Roman myth grew in many ways, including
the use of the USA's pledge salute in early movies showing fictional
Roman scenes.
Gitlin says that we need critics who are patriots -- and patriots who
are critics. But the patriotism and the dogma that inspired the USSR,
PRC, & NSGWP is cult-like membership that was oddly similar to the
robotic chanting of the Pledge of Allegiance in government schools
(socialist schools). The book shows that patriotism is the last refuge
of scoundrels.
The Bellamys promoted a government takeover of schools. When the
government granted their wish, the government schools imposed
segregation by law and taught racism as official government policy.
The schools mandated the robotic chanting of the pledge with the
German-style salute and persecuted and expelled children who would not
comply, arrested parents, and even took children from parents on
allegations of "unfit parenting."
The USA still follows similar anti libertarian policies promoted by the
Bellamys. Many socialist Bellamy policies caused the USA's big,
expensive and oppressive government and its growing police-state. The
Pledge still exists along with laws mandating that teachers lead the
robotic pledge chanting every day for twelve years of each child's
life (though the salute was altered). The government still owns and
operates schools, including the same schools that imposed segregation
by law and taught racism as official government policy. The U.S.
practice of imposing segregation by law in government schools and
teaching racism as official policy even outlasted the National
Socialist German Workers' Party by over 15 years. After segregation in
government's schools ended, the Bellamy legacy caused more police-state
racism of forced busing that destroyed communities and neighborhoods
and deepened hostilities. Those schools still exist. Infants are given
social security numbers that track and tax them for life. Government
schools demand the numbers for enrollment.
The pledge has become an example of how dangerous government schools
are. The pledge is a primary justification for ending government
schools. As the saying goes "remove the pledge from the flag, the flag
from the schools, and the schools from government."
The government in the USA and the government schools hide those facts
from people in the USA and from people in other countries.
Gitlin's book is a fascinating look at how people can be so bamboozled
by government propaganda that they don't even know it.
