The Pledge of Allegiance (1892) was often performed with exactly the Nazi salute, and it was the origin of Nazi salutes and Nazi behavior in the USA, adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party. See the discoveries of the historian Dr. Rex Curry. See the shocking old photos and videos of American children doing the nazi salute as part of forced robotic chanting daily on command in government schools (socialist schools).
The gesture resulted because Francis Bellamy’s initial gesture was a military salute that was then extended outward to point at the flag.
Everyone should avoid wakipedia as it will never maintain the truth about the gesture (the pledge gesture did not resemble the nazi salute, it was often performed exactly the same, as the photo shows, and was the origin of the nazi salute. Wikipedia basically wants you to ignore the photo with your own eyes and instead buy its lies).
It was not an “ancient Roman salute” as that is a debunked myth. http://rexcurry.net/roman-salute-oxford-english-dictionary.html The earliest use of the term “Roman salute” in the New York Times was 1922. The term “Roman salute” is an invention that arose in the 1920s. http://rexcurry.net
Bellamy was a self-proclaimed national socialist (and advocated “military socialism”), as was his cousin Edward Bellamy, and they influenced German national socialists, their dogma, rituals (robotic chanting in unison on command with Nazi salutes) and symbols (swastikas used as crossed S-letters for socialism).
The pledge is used to brainwash worship of government/socialism as god, supreme or as god-imposed. If the schools taught the truth about the pledge or showed the photos and videos, then no one would perform it. Remove the pledge from the flag. Remove the flags from schools. Remove schools from government. End the USA’s police state.
