The "Timeline of Terror" tracks the growth of National Socialism in
American
through the lives of the Bellamys, and specifically Francis Bellamy
(author
of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of "Looking
Backward"). It shows how they originated flag feti****sm, robotic
group-chanting to flags, Nazism, Nazi salutes.

The Bellamy cousins also spread the modern swastika symbol (as two
S-letters
for "socialism"). http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg
The research is part of the jaw-dropping discoveries of the noted
historian
Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets").

1740 Joseph Bellamy, and his older cohort, Jonathan Edwards, both of
Connecticut, were among the leaders of a movement known as "The Great
Awakening," a religious revival that struck the country in 1740. Joseph
Bellamy wrote and spoke extensively in sup****t of his utopian fantasy.
Joseph Bellamy (1719-1790) was the great-grandfather of Francis Bellamy,
Edward Bellamy, Charles Bellamy, and Franklin Bellamy. Charles Joseph
Bellamy was named after Joseph Bellamy and touted ideas similar to
Edward's.
"The Great Awakening" movement had started in Europe. It swept through
England in the rise of Methodism under John Wesley, Charles Wesley and
George Whitfield. Whitfield came to this country and became a leader of
the
movement here.
1762 Joseph Bellamy delivered a sermon to the General Assembly of
Connecticut and denounced competition, blamed competition for poverty, and
advocated vague "cooperation" instead.
1781 Jonathan Bellamy (1781 - 1845), a successful merchant in Wa****ngton
County, New York State, was the grandfather of Francis Bellamy and Edward
Bellamy.
1794 Joseph Bellamy and Jonathan Edwards publish "The Millennium, or the
Thousand Years of Prosperity" which Joseph claims is shortly to commence
and
to be carried on to perfection. The book also contains an attempt to
promote
explicit agreement and visible union of people in extraordinary work for
the
advancement of the "kingdom" on earth, pursuant to prophecies from Joseph
Bellamy and Jonathan Edwards. That millenium was still "impending" at the
time of Edward Bellamy's book "Looking Backward: 2000-1887" in which
Edward
also makes predictions of everlasting prosperity through National
Socialism.
Edward originally thought that the time frame for reaching National
Socialism in "Looking Backward" would be a thousand years, or much longer
than the span of 2000-1887 that Edward finally selected for promotional
purposes. The National Socialist German Workers Party was intended enact a
thousand year reich of prosperity for all, as predicted by Adolf Hitler.
1806 After the German state's "humiliating defeat by Napoleon in 1806, a
new
system of schooling was the instrument out of which Prussian vengeance was
shaped, a system that reduced human beings during their malleable years to
reliable machine parts, human machinery dependent upon the state for its
mission and purpose," according to the author John Taylor Gatto. "When
Blucher's Death's Head Hussars destroyed Napoleon at Waterloo," it was
interpreted as confirmation of the value of Prussian schooling. (1815).
1816 Rufus King Bellamy was born (1816 - 1886). He was father to
Frederick,
Edward, and Charles. Rufus was a younger brother of David Bellamy (the
father of Francis Bellamy). Both Rufus and David spent their lives in the
ministry preaching their versions of utopia. Rufus and his wife (Maria
Putnam Bellamy) preached to their three sons the need for activist
altruism.
Charles and Edward Bellamy went on to write utopian stories and fantasy
tales. Charles wrote "Were They Sinners?" and "The Breton Mills" (1879) in
which he used vague altruism to justify a socialist government. Edward
followed the same route with "The Religion of Solidarity" and his
totalitarian utopian fantasy "Looking Backward," both considered part of
the
"Christian Socialism" dogma. Both brothers inpired their cousin, Francis
Bellamy (author of the Pledge of Allegiance).
1819 Rome NY's name is selected in an election. Many cities in New York
State have names from classical history (Albany, Ithaca, Syracuse, Troy,
Utica) and that is why New York is the Roman Empire State.
1843 (published Feb.1844) Karl Marx writes his notorious, "On the Jewish
Question." In it, he intended to libel Jewish folks when he said they
were
the quintessential capitalists and worthy of total contempt. Marxists
and
socialists had no interest in anyone they considered to be "the weak,"
only
in the loyal, and their "language of social justice" concerned a
totalitarian plan for a new man, or more accurately a soldier ant in an
ant
hill.
1840s Government takeover of schools was touted by people like Horace
Mann,
who adored the regimented system they saw in Prussia in the 1840s. They
im****ted wholesale a scheme to tame what they saw as the dangerously
anarchist new immigrant working class, training the young of this
underclass
to re****t to a central government facility, to memorize identical shallow
opinions, and to march at the sound of government bells. Eventually, to
chant robotically the morning prayer to the government flag. A basic
education would suffice for them to fill their slots in the industrial
army.
No critical thought would occur, as it might cause them to question the
leaders. The government takeover and destruction of schools began in the
middle 1800's according to John Taylor Gatto, a former New York state
(public) Teacher of the Year, and author of "Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden
Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling," and the "Underground History of
American Education," subtitled "A Schoolteacher's Intimate Investigation
Into the Problem of Modern Schooling" ($34 postpaid, Oxford Village Press,
725 McDonough Road, Oxford, N.Y. 13830.)
1847 The Rome Academy school is planned as a non-government school in a
meeting of citizens. The city is not incor****ated as "Rome, New York"
until
23 years after the school began. In 1848 the Rome Academy opened with a
principal and six teachers. It was a non-government school for 20 years
until 1869.
1847 FREDERICK BELLAMY was born.
1848 The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx is published.
1850 EDWARD BELLAMY was born (and died in 1898).
1852 CHARLES JOSEPH BELLAMY was born (and died in 1910).
1855 FRANCIS BELLAMY was born (and died in 1931). Through his life he
worked
with his cousin Edward Bellamy.
1857 The National Education Association began.
1859 David Bellamy (Francis' father) accepted a call at the First Baptist
Church in Rome, NY and moved there with Francis (age 4).
1861-1865 The Civil War against southern Independence. Bellamy was a youth
during the war, and became preoccupied with military discipline. Francis
Bellamy later explained how the Civil War was not about slavery, but about
socialism and centralizing government in the USA. Describing his
inspiration
for the Pledge Of Allegiance, Francis Bellamy said, "It began as an
intensive communing with salient points of our national history, from the
Declaration of Independence onwards; with the makings of the
Constitution...
with the meaning of the Civil War; with the aspiration of the people...
"The true reason for allegiance to the Flag is the 'republic for which
it stands'. ...And what does that vast thing, the Republic mean? It is the
concise political word for the Nation - the One Nation which the Civil War
was fought to prove. To make that One Nation idea clear, we must specify
that it is indivisible, as Webster and Lincoln used to repeat in their
great
speeches...." Francis Bellamy did not mention slavery in his comments.
1867 the book Das Kapital by Karl Marx is published.
1867 The Prohibition Party is formed to outlaw alcohol by amending the US
Constitution. Both Edward and Francis would sup****t prohibition in the
years
ahead. Read more at http://rexcurry.net/drugs-prohibition-party-today.html
1868-9 Edward Bellamy spends a year in Dresden, learning to speak and
write
German and attending lectures and studying German socialism. His stay
occurred shortly after the war between Prussia and Austria. Saxony, of
which Dresden was the capital, had sided with Austria, had been conquered
by
Prussia, and then had joined the North German Federation. That would
interest all who loathe the monstrous National Socialist German Workers'
Party, because Prussia led to the formation of the German empire, and
after
World War I, Prussia continued to exist as the largest Land (state) within
the Weimar Republic and under the National Socialist German Workers'
Party.
After World War II it was dissolved by decree of the Allied Control
Council
in 1947. Bellamy was a bitter West Point failure but he loved Prussian
militarism and the educational system. While Bellamy was in Germany, the
first German unions were founded and the German Workers' Party (Die
Deutsche
Arbeiterpartei) issued its program of socialist cliches that Bellamy
repeated in his bestseller (Looking Backward) and his other writings for
the
rest of his life. The German Workers' Party would later become the Nazis
(the National Socialist German Workers' Party). Edward's brother
Frederick
wrote that Edward's letters to him were full of German socialism which "he
had read and studied much at home." (see Sylvia E. Bowman "The Year
2000").
Edward Bellamy returned to the USA and completed law school.
Charles J. Bellamy also completes law school and eventually writes
Everybody's
Lawyer published by Peoples Publi****ng Co. in Springfield, MA.
It gives summaries on the "More Practical Parts of Common Law" such as
Suing, Marriage, Divorce, Testimony, Railroad Travel and more.
1869 a government school district with a Board of Education was created
and
Rome Academy became "Rome Free Academy" a government school.
1870 The City of Rome was incor****ated. Francis Bellamy and his father
lived there 10 years before it was incor****ated as "Rome."
1872 Francis graduated from Rome Free Academy (RFA -the government high
school that is still there).
1873 Francis Bellamy entered the University of Rochester where he studied
for the Baptist ministry.
1874 The Religion of Solidarity is written by Edward Bellamy. It combines
socialism with religion, and argues that individuality is a delusion
and/or
is unim****tant. It advocates that each individual subsume himself/herself
to
anything and everything else, as repeated later in Looking Backward.
1878 A Süd Deutsch Volklied (South German Peoples' Song) was written in
German on the inside cover of Bellamy's notebook, and dated "Granada, Jan.
4, 1878." (see Arthur Morgan's Edward Bellamy from Columbia University
Press
1944).
1878 Six to One: A Nantucket Idyl. Edward Bellamy's first novel is based
on
his voyage to Hawaii in 1877. Published in New York, by Putnam.
Chapter one ****trays a peaceful, orderly, remote island, removed from the
stresses of city life. The character Addie Follet has a mystical passion
for
the sea.
1879 The Duke of Stockbridge. Edward Bellamy publishes serially this
historical romance dealing with Shays' Rebellion (1786-87). His cousin,
Francis Bellamy, would complete and issue it in book form in 1900. The
novel is set in western Massachusetts and ****trays Revolutionary War
veterans who believe that they have traded rule by a king for rule by "the
rich." It is foreshadow's Edward's glorification of the military, and his
goal of using the military to take over the government and all of society.

1879 The Breton Mills - A Romance by Charles Joseph Bellamy is published
G.P. Putnam's Sons in New York.
1880 Edward and his brother, Charles, founded a tri-weekly, the
Springfield
Penny News, that became the Springfield Daily News.
1880 Dr. Heidenhoff's Process by Edward Bellamy is published in New York,

D. Appleton and Co. 1880 see http://www.gutenberg.org
1882 Franklin Delano Roosevelt is born.
1882 Edward Bellamy married Emma Sanderson. She had lived with the
Bellamy
family since the age of thirteen and Edward called her "tugs." Edward had
originally opposed the idea of marriage, and he told Emma so after she
confessed her love for him. Edward's views on marriage might have been
similar to the views of his brother, Charles, later explicated somewhat in
Charles' book "An Experiment in Marriage" (1889). Edward embraced the
idea
of marriage after Emma became engaged to another man. Edward and Emma had
two children.
1884 Miss Ludington's Sister (A Romance of Immortality) by Edward Bellamy
is
published in Boston, by J.R. Osgood and Co. see http://www.gutenberg.org
1884 or 1885 The Way Out: Suggestions for Social Reform, by Charles J.
Bellamy (Putnams), drones on about the equitable distribution of wealth.
Arthur Morgan said that it "in many respects is as daring and radical in
its
proposals as is Edward Bellamy's own utopia." Edward's presentation in
Looking Backward is comparable to that used by Charles in The Way Out. It
is
mentioned in the The Nation Magazine Volume: 040, Issue # 1024 of
February
12, 1885. Also, compare Edward's How We Shall Get There in 1891.
1886 Haymarket Square riot in Chicago
1886 Dr. Edward Aveling and his wife Eleanor -the daughter of Karl Marx-
wrote that when they toured the U.S. and preached the gospel of socialism
as
far westward as Kansas, they were surprised by the prevalence of what they
termed "unconscious socialism" and that the "American people ... were
waiting to hear in their own language what socialism is."
1887 Edward Bellamy's bible of military socialism "Looking Backward" is
published and becomes an international bestseller translated into every
major language including Russian, Chinese, and German and it inspires the
creation of 167 "Nationalist Clubs" worldwide. In its time, it was outsold
only by Uncle Tom's Cabin and Ben-Hur (set in Rome). The book appears by
title in many major Marxist writings of the day. "It is one of the few
books
ever published that created almost immedately on its appearance a politcal
mass movement." (Eric Fromm, p vi) 165. The book was popular among the
elite
in pre-revolutionary Russia, and Lenin's wife was known to have read the
book, because she wrote a review of it. see http://www.gutenberg.org
1888 (November) Bellamy personally made a contract with an interpreter to
translate Looking Bacward into German. By the end of the year, sales of
the
book did not exceed ten thousand, but sales increased rapidly thereafter.
(see Morgan, p. 65).
1888 A Moment of Madness by Charles Joseph Bellamy is published in New
York,
by A. L. Burt.
1888-91 (June) Edward Bellamy became editor of The Nationalist magazine
and
the "Nationalist Educational Association," (NEA) is formed to publish the
magazine and it is named with deliberate similarity to the National
Education Association. http://rexcurry.net/nationalistmagazine.jpg
1888 James Upham in the Premium Department of the Youth's Companion
launches
its School Flag Movement, a four-year campaign to put U.S. flags in
government schools in order to promote end non-government schools and to
promote "Nationalism."
1888 (December) First Nationalist Club formed in Boston to discuss and
implement principles in Looking Backward; Francis Bellamy is a charter
member.
1888 Nationalist Clubs gain the backing of the Theosophical Society and
Madam Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Blavatsky's mentions of Looking Backward
and its author had a clear financial impact on the Nationalism according
to
Arthur E. Morgan in his biography, Edward Bellamy, 1948, pp. 260-75; see
also The Key to Theosophy by H. P. Blavatsky, pp. 44-5. -- K.V.M.]
Theosophists saw in the Nationalist Movement a practical means to
further their "ideal of universal brotherhood." A symbol for Madame
Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society includes a swastika or hakenkreuz
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-blavatsky-brooch.gif
Her book "The Secret
Doctrine, the Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy" is considered
her magnum opus and was originally published as two volumes in 1888. The
publication success coincided with Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward" and
with his Nationalism movement. In The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky
postulates
"Aryans" as the fifth of her "Root Races," dating them to about a million
years ago, tracing them to Atlantis. It was an idea also repeated by
Alfred
Rosenberg, and held as doctrine by the Thule Society. The idea eventually
influenced the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Blavatsky
travelled extensively to Germany, India and worldwide (The Esoteric World
of
Madame Blavatsky: Reminiscences and Impressions by Those Who Knew Her by
Daniel H. Caldwell: Chapter 14, Germany and Return to India 1884-1885;
Chapter 15, From India to Italy and Germany, 1885; Chapter 16, Germany
1886).
1889 (February 18) Society of Christian Socialists formed in Boston.
Francis Bellamy is Vice President in charge of Education.
1889 Looking Backward was translated and published in both Sweden and
Denmark, and a Norwegian translation, Tilbageblik, was published in the
United States in the early 1890s. "Det nationalistiske program" was
discussed in the widely circulated Norwegian review Kringsjaa, and other
Norwegian periodicals and newspapers included re****ts on the Nationalist
Movement during its peak period of activity. See Lars Ahnebrink, "A
Contribution to Scandinavian Socialism" in Bowman et al., Edward Bellamy
Abroad, 261-4.
1889 Hitler born 4-20-1889. Died 1945.
1889 Edward Bellamy wrote the short story, "An Echo of Antietam," in which
he glorifies the militarism via a group of men marching to join the Union
army.
1889 An Experiment in Marriage by Charles Joseph Bellamy is published by
Albany Book Co.
1889 Edward Bellamy writes "To Whom This May Come" printed in the
Nationalist monthly. In it he describes the evolution of men to realize
that "life is hid in our brethren, in the race" and not in the "petty
self."
Selfishness is said to be suicide. Later, the world would see that
socialism is suicide.
1890 Were They Sinners? by Charles Joseph Bellamy is published in
Springfield, Mass., by Author's Pub. Co.
1890 (October) The Theosophist endorses Edward Bellamy, his book, and the
Nationalist Party, and remarks about Theosophists being involved in the
formation of the party and acting as its "most active and ardent workers
and
sup****ters." p 62. There is also a remark about "The Key to Theosophy"
being translated into the German language (p. 61).

1890 (Nov. 13, 1890) Edward Bellamy wrote for The Christian Union, "Some
Misconceptions of Nationalism." In the article he states: "Nationalism is
not based on the maxim 'To each according to his needs, from each
according
to his abilities.' Of course, as a matter of conscience, every man is
bound
to do all he can, and the needs of others are sacred claims upon his
service; but both abilities and needs are indeterminate, and therefore
could
not be made the basis of any regulation to be enforced by society. The
principle of Nationalism is: From all equally; to all equally."
1891-94 Edward Bellamy became editor of the New Nation. In it he writes
columns about "Talks on Nationalism." Bellamy would sell his weekly
combined
with Karl Marx's Capital as a package deal.
http://rexcurry.net/edward-bellamy-karl-marx.jpg
1891 (January 30) Edward Bellamy's How We Shall Get There is published in
the Twentieth Century Library, No. 30, Fortnightly, New York.
compare The Way Out: Suggestions for Social Reform, by Charles Bellamy in
1885.
1891 (July) Francis Bellamy openly and publicly defends Edward Bellamy's
form of Socialism in the article "The Tyranny of All the People" in The
Arena July, 1891 (p. 180-191). "Socialists believe in the fearless
extension
of government because they have a clear and high idea of the nation as an
organic relation****p apart from which the individual cannot realize
himself." And "Democratic government, however socialistic it may become,
is
nothing but democracy expressing its own will. If the individual is led to
surrender certain of his freedoms for the good of all, he surrenders to a
paternalism of all the people. That were better called, once and for all,
a
fraternalism. Socialism aims to produce an environment where not only the
Golden Rule, but the Law of Love will have a living chance." The
"Republic
of the Golden Rule" is a reference to the authoriatian socialist society
in
which Julian West awakens in Edward Bellamy's book "Looking Backward."
1891 Advertisements list together the books of Charles Bellamy, Edward
Bellamy and Karl Marx http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-charles-brother1891.pdf
and at http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-charles-edward1891.pdf
1892 The year the Francis Bellamy wrote the Pledge Of Allegiance was the
year that the immigration station on Ellis Island opened. Many people,
including the Bellamys, were fearful of immigration and the "new
immigrants"
coming from Southern and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean rim. Most
immigrants did not hold the Protestant Christian faith known to a majority
of Americans. In the words of Emma Lazarus, they were the "wretched
refuse"
of older "teeming shores" (Her famous poem using those words was affixed
to
the Statue of Liberty). The tide of immigration swelled to its greatest
heights. Bellamy-style bigotry grew.
1892 (July 4) Edward Bellamy writes "Fourth of July, 1992" in the Boston
Globe. Bellamy's historical revisionism recasts the American Revolution
as
leading inexorably to his utopian fantasy and the article alludes to
"Looking Backward" in predicting, by the year 1992, a "new declaration of
independence" that will enact the Bellamy dogma and abolish the
distinctions
of "employer and employed, capitalist and proletarian" and that it will
come
"peaceably or forcibly..."
1892 In August, Francis Bellamy finishes penning the Pledge of Allegiance
(with a straight-arm salute). James Upham and Francis Bellamy were editor
and associate editor of the Youth's Companion at the time. Francis had
been
given the assignment to prepare a celebration for Columbus Day, and he
uses
the assignment as an excuse to espouse his dogma. The Pledge is published
in
the "Youth's Companion" Magazine on September 8, 1892, along with an
article
("The Meaning of the Four Centuries") wherein Francis Bellamy's historical
revisionism recasts Columbus' "discovery of America" as leading inexorably
to the Bellamy utopian fantasy. The article alludes to "Looking Backward"
in
predicting a government takeover of education that will eventually enact
the
Bellamy dogma. It was also a way for Bellamy and Upham to behave as
socialists always do and use government to separate people from their
money
in government schools (socialist schools) by placing flags in every
school.
It is a process still followed today (In Florida, a law was imposed
dictating that flags in schools were too small, and commanding that larger
flags be placed in each classroom, including college and university
classrooms http://rexcurry.net/debate-florida-legislature.html
. Enormous
amounts of money were wasted complying with the new dictate).
1892 (October 12, Columbus Day, the 400th Anniversary) Francis Bellamy was
chairman of a committee of state superintendents of education in the
National Education Association and he used the NEA to promote his pledge
and
dogma (including a government takeover of all schools). The government
schools begin to impose and institutionalize segregation by law and to
teach
racism as official policy.
1894 Henry Demarest Lloyd says of Looking Backward, that the book was
"debated by all down to the bootblack on the corner."
1895 New York became the ninth state to require displays of the National
flag in government schools.
1896 Plessy v. Ferguson is decided by the U.S. Supreme Court which upholds
a
government law imposing and requiring "separate but equal" seating upon
railroads, and that reasoning is carried over to government schools that
impose segregation and teach racism.
1897 Edward Bellamy's book "Equality" is published, the sequel to "Looking
Backward." The "American swastika" appears for the first time as the
"equality symbol" ( = ) repeated all over the cover of the book
"Equality."
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-equality-swastika.jpg
While the
swastika/hakenkreuz was the symbol for German National Socialists, the
"equals sign" was the "swastika" for American National Socialists. Bellamy
wrote, "Nationalism is not based on the maxim 'To each according to his
needs, from each according to his abilities.' Of course, as a matter of
conscience, every man is bound to do all he can, and the needs of others
are
sacred claims upon his service; but both abilities and needs are
indeterminate, and therefore could not be made the basis of any regulation
to be enforced by society. The principle of Nationalism is: From all
equally; to all equally." (Some Misconceptions of Nationalism, by Edward
Bellamy in The Christian Union, Nov. 13, 1890). The book Equality
continues
the story of Julian West in Bellamy's totalitarian future of National
Socialism. In whole or in part, it was translated into Danish and
Swedish.
see http://www.gutenberg.org
1898 the New York state legislature imposes the first statute forcing
children in government schools to robotically chant the socialist's
pledge.
Other states follow.
The legislature required the Commissioner of Education to provide the
programs and the Education Department published a book on flag history
with
suggested lessons and ceremonies in 1910. Included was the original Balch
pledge, then recommended for the elementary grades. Here is a later
example
regarding the Pledge Of Allegiance
http://rexcurry.net/reciting-the-pledge-of-allegiance1918.jpg
1898 The Blindman's World and Other Stories by Edward Bellamy [Int. by
Howells, W. D.] is published in Boston and New York, by Houghton, Mifflin
and Co.
The book is a collection of short stories including the title story
written
in 1885, wherein "an astronomer's 'dream soul' is trans****ted to Mars and
communicates with its advanced human inhabitants."
1898 Edward Bellamy dies of consumption (tuberculosis). His book "Looking
Backward" details his weltanschauung, but he didn't have to look back at
most of the world's socialist slaughter. Although Edward Bellamy was a
bitter West Point failure, he loved Prussian militarism and the Prussian
educational system and, according to Tom Peyser, "On his deathbed, he
wiled
away the hours by arranging tin soldiers along the folds of his coverlet."
1900 Francis Bellamy completed and issued in book form Edward Bellamy's
1879
work The Duke of Stockbridge. The historical romance dealing with Shays'
Rebellion had been published serially in 1879. see
http://www.gutenberg.org
1905 a Finnish translation of "Equality" was published in 1905 in Hancock,
Michigan.
1905 "By 1905, Prussian trained Americans, or Americans like John Dewey
who
apprenticed at Prussian-trained hands, were in command of every one of our
new institutions of scientific teacher training: Columbia Teacher's
College,
the University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins, the University of Wisconsin,
Stanford," according to the author John Taylor Gatto. "The domination of
Prussian vision, and the general domination of German philosophy and
pedagogy, was a fait accompli among the leader****p of American schooling."
And, "You should care about this for the compelling reason that German
practices were used here to justify removal of intellectual material from
the curriculum; it may explain why your own children cannot think. That
was
the Prussian way - to train only a leader****p cadre to think." And, "Of
all
the men whose vision excited the architects of the new Prussianized
American
school machine, the most exciting were a German philosopher named Hegel
and
a German doctor named Wilhelm Wundt. ... G. Stanley Hall, one of Wundt's
personal protégés (who as a professor at Johns Hopkins had inoculated his
star pupil, John Dewey, with the German virus) ... shrewdly sponsored and
promoted an American tour for the Austrian doctor Sigmund Freud so that
Freud might popularize his theory that PARENTS AND THE FAMILY WERE THE
CAUSE
OF VIRTUALLY ALL MALADJUSTMENT (emphasis added) - all the more reason to
remove their little machines to the safety of schools." And, "Teacher
training in Prussia was founded on three premises, which the United States
subsequently borrowed. The first of these is that the state is sovereign,
the only true parent of children. Its corollary is that BIOLOGICAL PARENTS
ARE THE ENEMIES OF THEIR OFFSPRING. When Germany's Froebel invented
Kindergarten, it was not a garden for children he had in mind but a garden
of children, in which state-appointed teachers were the gardeners of the
children. Kindergarten is meant to PROTECT CHILDREN FROM THEIR OWN
MOTHERS"
And, "The best-known device to break the will of the young, practiced for
centuries among English and German upper cl*****, was the separation of
parent and child AT AN EARLY AGE. Here now was an institution backed by
the
police power of the state to guarantee that separation. ..."
1907 the USA's salute is used in a fictional Roman scene in the American
film "Ben-Hur."
1908 the salute occurs in film in the Italian "Nerone."
1910 CHARLES JOSEPH BELLAMY died (he was born in 1852).
1913 the Federal Reserve Act is imposed, expanding the government's
ability
to print, counterfeit and inflate money, leading to more depressions
created
by the government, including the Great Depression in 1929.
1914-1918 WWI. Hitler awarded the Iron Cross Medal (Ritterkreuz -"Rider
Cross" or "Knight's Cross") . In Nov. 1918, the Kaiser and the House of
Hollenzollern had fallen. The "Fatherland" was now a republic. The war was
over.
1914 the salute occurs in film in "Spartaco" and "Cabiria."
1915 A memorial edition of "Looking Backward" is published with
introduction
by Sylvester Baxter of the Boston Herald, one of the first members of the
Boston Nationalist Club in 1888.
1916 The Wonder Children, Their Quests and Curious Adventures, by Charles
J.
Bellamy. The MacMillan Company. 321 pages. Stories of Christmas Eve, Three
Fishes, Enchanted Cave, Bad Boy, Golden Key, Magic Mirror, Boy who Teased,
Underworld and Three Wishes.
1919 in imitation of such films, self-styled Italian "Consul" Gabriele D
'Annunzio borrowed the salute as a propaganda tool for his political
ambitions upon his occupation of Fiume in 1919. Earlier, D'Annunzio had
worked with Giovanni Pastrone in his colossal epic Cabiria (1914).
Mussolini
had worked with D'Annunzio.
1919 Anton Drexler, Gottfried Feder and Dietrich Eckart form what will
become the Nazi Party, and they use the name "German Worker's Party."
1919 The Prohibition Party's most infamous deed was in 1919, with the
passage of the 18th Amendment, which outlawed alcohol. National
prohibition
under the 18th Amendment was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
Modern
prohibiton continues as does the loss of individual rights. Edward and

1920 Francis Bellamy gives speech "The Pledge of Allegiance: How I Came to
Write It" in the New York City Stadium.
1920 the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party) takes its
name. The party program includes the German version of the social
security
scam "We demand that generous improvements be made in old-age pensions"
and
a government takeover of schools.
1920 Another mystical India-Germany promoter of National Socialism was
Savitri Devi. Known as the "Aryan Hindu prophetess," she believed that
Hitler was an avatar or god come to earth. Born Maximiani ****tas, she
became a strong admirer of Hitler in the 1920s, moved to India in 1932
because of its caste system, and took a Hindu name. Later, her writings
were
republished, and she gained new fans in the 1970s as new interest in
National Socialism spread. Devi died in 1982, but the author boasted that
her combination of Hindu religion and Nordic racial ideology became a
bridge
between National Socialism and the New Age movements.
1920s the German American Bund movement consists of American National
Socialists who sup****t German National Socialists. During this time, the
American National Socialists (and their children in government schools)
pledge allegiance to the flag using the straight-arm salute.

Existence."
1923 Lenin, the Bolshevik founder (not Stalin), begins his first
concentration camp (the Gulag) at the Solovetsky Islands -or Solovki- a
string of small islands in the White Sea near the Arctic Circle.
1924 The Elks Magazine of June 1924, Vol. 3, Edition # 1 contains "A
twenty-three word national creed" by Francis Bellamy with photos of
correspondence. Hence, Bellamy continued to promote his National Socialist
dogma and the stiff-arm salute (and robotic chanting to flags) among
various
civic groups, as the Bellamys had done while they were Freemasons in
Masonic
Lodges. http://rexcurry.net/1qb1.html
1925 Mein Kampf is published and the terms "Nazi" and "Fascist" are never
used in the book in reference to the Party. The terms "socialist" and
"national socialist" are used repetitively in reference to the Party.

1927 The Dutch Bellamy movement emerged in the Netherlands.
1929 Francis Bellamy is quoted in the Tampa Tribune Newspaper about the
pledge and his author****p of it.
1930 electoral breakthroughs for the National Socialist German Workers'
Party.
1930s The wife and daughter Edward Bellamy (1850-1898) were key figures in
the revival of interest in Bellamy and his writings during the 1930s
during
the government-created depression. With several other notable individuals,
including journalist Heywood Broun and educator John Dewey, the two
Bellamy
women were part of what Broun called a "Back to Bellamy" movement. The
daughter, Mrs. Earnshaw, tried to revive Edward's Nationalist movement and
she was president of the International Alliance of Bellamy Clubs.
1930 (June) The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act imposed the harshest tariffs in
U.S.
history. It is sold as "Nationalism" to "protect" farmers against
foreigners. It causes poverty, misery and exacerbates the worldwide
depression and makes it "Great" and long-lasting.
1931 Francis Bellamy dies in Tampa, Florida at age 76. He died just as his
salute & ideas became even more infamous. He lived long enough to see
part
of the socialist slaughter in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and
the beginning of the National Socialist German Workers' Party aping his
straight-arm salute.
1931 Looking Backward published in new edition with introduction by
journalist Heywood Broun. Broun suggested: "Many of the questions both of
mood and technique are even more pertinent in the year 1931 than they were
in 1887."

1934 "Triumph of the Will," directed by Leni Riefenstahl, shows the
National
Socialist German Workers' Party parading its industrial army. In keeping
with their socialist dogma, Hitler is praised as an "epitome of altruism"
and the speakers refer to each other as "comrades" who will cause a
"revolution of the people and workers" to end "class struggle" and create
"egalitarianism." http://rexcurry.net/filmrev-triumph-of-the-will.html
1935 Lillian and William Gobitas refuse to stand and recite the pledge in
Minersville, Pennsylvania and are persecuted and expelled. 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.
1935 Two years following Roosevelt's proclamation of a "new deal" for
America, Broun wrote: "I think there should be a great revival of interest
in the work of Edward Bellamy, for notions which he expressed before the
beginning of the century are just now coming into articulation and a few,
indeed, into action." Broun, It Seems to Me, 1925-1935 (New York:
Harcourt,
Brace, 1935), 207-10.
1935 the USA's Congress imposed the social security scam and nationwide
numbering began.
1935 Columbia University requested three people - John Dewey, a
philosopher;
Charles Beard, a historian; and Edward Weeks, the editor of Atlantic
Monthly - to list the ten most influential books from 1885 to 1935; on all
three lists, prepared independently, Looking Backward appeared second on
the
list, the first being Karl Marx's Das Kapital. It shows how Bellamy's
socialism was being compared with Marx's socialism for blending or as an
alternative. It is im****tant to remember that during this time of
Bellamy's
great influence, the National Socialist German Workers' Party had been in
existence since 1920, with electoral breakthroughs in 1930, and
dictator****p
in 1933.
1936 Mrs. Emma S. Bellamy and Miss Marion Bellamy addressed a public
meeting
in ****tland on the topics of "Edward Bellamy as I Knew Him" and "Edward
Bellamy Today."
1936 Jesse Owens competed in the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany, while his
neighbors in the USA attended segregated government schools where they
saluted the flag with the Nazi salute.
1937 Edward Bellamy Speaks Again! By the Peerage Press, First Edition.

The
spread of Bellamy ideas was reinforced with these additional "Articles,
Public Addresses, Letters." http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter1a1h.html
1937 The broad international interest in Bellamy dogma and the revival of
that interest in the 1930s is reflected by a 1937 edition of "Looking
Backward" translated into Esperanto (an international language) by L.L.
Zamenhof - and published under the auspices of the International Bellamy
League in The Netherlands.
1938 publication of "Talks on Nationalism." Edward Bellamy died in 1898,
yet
this book revives his dogma in the USA, Germany and worldwide.
Roosevelt's national socialism coincided with the 1938 publication of
"Talks
on Nationalism" by Edward Bellamy. It is a terrifying look at how
socialists in the USA inspired Nazism (the National Socialist German
Workers'
Party). Edward Bellamy died in 1898, but people put this book together in
1938 to widen Bellamy ideas worldwide, in the USA (under Roosevelt's
national socialism), and in Germany via the Nazis.

1939 U.S. Flag Association Committee examines author****p controversy and
believes that Bellamy is the author, not Upham. It examines evidence
presented by David Bellamy and the family of James Upham.
1939 The National Socialist German Workers' Party and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics demonstrated the swastika's symbolism of socialists
joining together, as allies to invade Poland, under a pact to divide up
Europe (the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, or Nazi-Soviet Pact).
1940 Edward Bellamy, The Religion of Solidarity, ed. Arthur E. Morgan,
Antioch Bookplate Company. Published posthumusly.
1940 the US Supreme Court rules that requiring the Gobitas children to
salute the flag or be expelled did not violate their free speech right.
Violence occurs in the USA against people who do not perform the
straight-arm salute or chant the pledge. The Gobitas children leave
government schools for the better alternatives.
The Court's decision adds to the Pledge's long history of persecution and
violence. There are acts of student violence, teacher violence, police
violence and mob violence. There were arrests and prosecutions. Children
are
taken away from their parents on the government's claim of "unfit
parenting"
if the children are not forced to pledge. Some kids were expelled from
government schools and had to use the many better alternatives. The
government schools then persecuted those non-government schools. During
this
time, the government's schools imposed segregation by law and taught
racism
as official policy. The USA's behavior was an example for three decades
before the Nazis. As under Nazism, the Jehovah's Witnesses, and blacks and
the Jewish and others in the USA attended government schools that dictated
segregation, taught racism, and persecuted children who refused to perform
the straight-arm salute and robotically chant the Pledge. The Bellamys
sup****ted the government's takeover of education.
1941 Tattooing of concentration camp prisoners begins at Auschwitz.
1941 (December 7th) attack on Pearl Harbor. U.S. enters WWII against
Japan.
1941 (December 11th) Germany & Italy declare war on U.S. and the U.S.
reciprocates in kind.
1942 (June 22) the pledge was recognized by Congress in the Flag Code,
the
straight-arm salute is changed to the hand-over-the-heart. In 1942, after
the USA entered the war against Germany, the salute changed from the
stiff-arm salute to the hand-over-the-heart. The change was form over
substance. Children in some government schools (socialist schools) were
taught that, henceforth, they would be forced to perform the robotic
chanting with the right hand over the heart in order to replace the
previous
blind obedience represented by the old stiff-arm salute used by German
National Socialists that the children had been forced to perform in the
past. At that time, children were still expelled and persecuted for
refusing
to participate, even with the "new and improved" ritual.
1942 correspondence begins between Margarette S. Miller and others
regarding
her investigation of the author****p of the Pledge.
1943 the Supreme Court reverses itself and rules that students could not
be
forced to recite the pledge West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette
Even after German National Socialism, writers continued to cover up for
the
Bellamys and ignore any comparison

1945 (May 22) Paul Bellamy, son of Edward Bellamy and editor-in-chief of
the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, writes an introduction to his father's book
"Looking
Backward" (published by the World Publi****ng Co., of Cleveland Ohio). It
is
interesting to note that Paul does not mention the National Socialist
German
Workers' Party, nor the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, nor even
World
War II, in that introduction to his father's book on May 22, 1945.
1945 Although the National Socialist German Workers' Party turned the
swastika symbol into overlapping "S" shapes for "socialism," the
Theosophical Society did not alter the swastika on its logo until the
NSDAP
demonstrated the deadly dogma of socialism to the world.
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-blavatsky-brooch.gif
Thereafter, the Theosophical Society changed its logo so that the "S"
letters are now reversed and their shape has been altered to make the
symbol
less apparent.
http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html
The Theosophical Society still exists. It is remarkable to note that at
the
time this was written, the Theosophical Society of America (TSA) continued
to maintain its Springfield Branch office at the Edward Bellamy House, 93
Church Street, Chicopee, MA and also its library.
1945 (May 30) Just a few weeks after the end of German occupation the
National Bellamy Party (NBP) is founded by a group of six leaders of the
International Bellamy Association (IVB) in Groningen. The chairman of the
party was J. Derksen Staats. IVB, which was reorganized after the war, did
not actively sup****t the idea of a political party.
1947 (April) Van den Muyzenberg and the majority of the National Bellamy
Party (NBP) members left to join the Progressive Party for a World
Government.
1949 (October 1st) Mao Zedong also promotes the idea of world government,
and he proclaims the founding of the People's Republic of China. Massive
bloodshed follows.
1952 Flag Day Award Ceremony programs (1952 and 1954), organized by
Margarette S. Miller
1952 Pledge material is presented to the University of Rochester Library
by
David Bellamy on October 18, 1952.
1954 Brown v. Board of Education begins to slowly end segregation imposed
by
law in government schools and taught as official policy. Francis Bellamy
and Edward Bellamy sup****ted government takeover (socialism) for all
schools. When the government granted their wish, it imposed segregation by
law and taught racism as official policty. Before 1943 , the Bellamy
Pledge
of Allegiance had been imposed by law, and to varying degrees it was still
imposed in 1954 and still is imposed, even beyond the year 2000
(especially
following the imposition of the USA's police state on 9-11-2001).
1955 The Order of the Eastern Star erected a memorial tablet to Francis
Bellamy in Oriskany, New York.
1956 The Pledge author****p controversy arose again when news re****ts again
asserted Upham's author****p. The Library of Congress appointed a team of
clowns to officially "finalize" the decision as to the author****p of the
Pledge. The Library of Congress Legislative Reference Service issued a
re****t affirming Francis Bellamy as the author of the Pledge in 1957.
Margarette Miller was involved in the work and wrote a book about it in
1976.
1958 The Year 2000: A Critical Biography of Edward Bellamy is published by
Sylvia E. Bowman. It is not very critical at all.
1960 Signet edition of Edward Bellamy, Looking Backward: 2000-1887 with a

1962 Pledge material is presented to the University of Rochester Library
by
Mrs. David Bellamy on January 16, 1962.
1966 The NEA did not integrate its member****p until 1966 and only in the
late 1960's did the NEA begin to sup****t aggressively the same idea in
most
state government school systems.
1966 May, socialist students were encouraged to carry copies of Mao's
Little
Red Book of quotations. These "Red Guards" used his quotations to attack
"intellectuals" (anyone not stupid enough to embrace socialism) with
themes
such as "Correcting Mistaken Ideas."
1967 et seq The U.S. practice of official racism and segregation in
government schools 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.
1976 Margarette S. Miller writes "Twenty-Three Words: The Life Story of

2000 the year in which Bellamy's book predicted a utopian socialist
totalitarianism. The death toll for the socialist Wholecaust (of which
the
Holocaust was a part) is: 62 million by the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics, 49 million by the Peoples' Republic of China, 21 million by the
National Socialist German Workers' Party. It is the worst slaughter in
history. All Holocaust Museums can quintuple in size and scope by adding
Wholecaust Museums.
2003 Dr. Rex Curry, an attorney, helps with litigation against the pledge
of
allegiance that proceeds to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the process
Professor Curry notices that the media will not tell the true story about
the pledge's author nor show any historic photo of the original salute.
RexCurry.net is formed to set the record straight.

2004 Tampa Florida is where Francis Bellamy died in 1931 and where his
pledge of allegiance died also, much later. RexCurry.net disinterred
Francis Bellamy, Edward Bellamy and the pledge. An atrocious autopsy was
performed.
2004 A proposal begins that Holocaust Museums can quintuple in size and
scope by adding Wholecaust Museums, and that Francis Bellamy and the
pledge
of allegiance should be added to the museums as the origin of the
straight-arm salute and similar dogma that influenced the socialist
Wholecaust.
2005 (December 23) News re****ts state that Cameron Frazier refused to

ONWARD: At the time this was written, internet searches indicated that the
"Lucis Trust" http://www.lucistrust.org/
is a UN-accredited NGO (in
"consultative status" with the United Nation's Economic and Social
Council),
and an officially acknowledged financial contributor to the United
Nations.
The "Lucis Trust" grew from the organization started by Alice Bailey in
1922
when she founded the "Lucifer Publi****ng Company" to publish her and
Blavatsky's writings and also published a magazine entitled "Lucifer"
wherein Edward Bellamy's dogma was promoted. Blavatsky (1831-1891), with
her
"Theosophical Society," is considered the mother of New Age Socialism and
modern Occult Socialism. Bailey (1880-1949, née Alice LaTrobe Bateman)
left
Blavatsky's group and founded her own "Arcane School," wherein the term
"New
Age" itself originated.
At the time this was written, internet searches indicated that the Edward
Bellamy Memorial Association and the Chicopee Historical Society and the
Theosophical Society of America (TSA library and Springfield Branch
office)
were headquartered at the Edward Bellamy House, 91 to 93 Church Street,
Chicopee, MA. Recent lectures there included "Discovering the Secrets in
the
Aka****c Records" and "Alchemical Art Therapy" and "Gnosis: An Ancient Path
of Illumination."
