expose
frightening features of American history and Christian Socialism.
The leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party was thought by
many people to consider himself a Christian. In the historic film "Triumph
of the Will," the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party
states: "The Party will be like a religious order."

The Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) was an ancient religious symbol in Germany,
related to the un-hooked cross and to the Prussian-German Iron cross and
to
other crosses. The Nazi alteration of the Hakenkeuz increased its visual
similarity to the Iron Cross.
The swastika became known as the Socialist Cross because of Christian
Socialists in the USA, including Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of
Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of "Looking Backward"). Edward
Bellamy and his movement teamed up with the Theosophical Society, a group
that used the swastika as a symbol in their socialist movement.

The swastika was used to denote overlapping S-letters for "socialism" in
the
USA and later under the National Socialist German Workers Party and
elsewhere. The double-S letters of the hooked cross also denoted the
"Society of Socialists" and the dogma of self-sacrifice (under both
Christianity and socialism), even to the ultimate degree (the cross or
crucifix was used as a means of execution and/or self sacrifice). It also
gained quasi-religious status as the cross of socialism through its use in
the wor****p of government and socialism.

It is interesting to note that the name of the movement "Society of
Christian Socialists" also had the repeated S-letters in its name, in
another parallel to the overlapping S-symbolism of the swastika.
Edward Bellamy understood the German language and the term "Hakenkreuz."
From 1868 to 1869, Edward Bellamy spent a year in Germany, learning to
speak
and write German and attending lectures and studying German socialism.
Edward Bellamy even wrote A Süd Deutsch Volklied (South German Peoples'
Song) in German on the inside cover of his notebook (dated Jan. 4, 1878,
see
Arthur Morgan's Edward Bellamy from Columbia University Press 1944).

Edward's brother Frederick stated that Edward had talked and read about
socialism before Edward went to Germany. Frederick wrote that Edward's
letters to him from Germany were full of German socialism which "he had
read
and studied much at home." (see Sylvia E. Bowman's 1958 book The Year
2000).
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
was the Party that later added the very phrase "National Socialism" to the
front of its name and became the Nazis (the National Socialist German
Workers' Party or Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP
).
The ominous parallel of Bellamy ideas and U.S. socialists can be seen in
the
25 point program of the NSDAP.
Edward later wrote in sup****t of socialism, "It was in the great cities of
Europe and among the hovels of the peasantry that my eyes were first fully
opened to the extent and consequences of 'man's inhumanity to man.'" But
Edward died in 1898, and did not witness the worst of man's inhumanity to
man in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): the
National Socialist German Workers' Party (21 million); the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics (62 million people slaughtered); the People's Republic
of China (35 million). The invasion of Poland in WWII occurred in 1939,
with the National Socialist German Workers' Party and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics as allies in their scheme to divide up Europe. It was
preceded by Hitler's 1936 invasion of the Rhineland and the Sudetenland.
It is frightening that the straight-arm salute was created by a
self-proclaimed National Socialist in the USA (Francis Bellamy) who was
also
head of the "Society of Christian Socialists" in the USA and involved with
a
socialist group that used the swastika as its symbol (the Theosophical
Society).
