 http://rexcurry.net/fascism=socialism.html During WWI, Mussolini was a well-known socialist leader and writer. Mussolini also wanted Italians to join the USA and the allies in World War I against the Austro/German forces. He followed fascist footsteps from the USA. http://rexcurry.net/mussolini.html Mussolini mimicked military socialism in the USA as touted by Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of "Looking Backward"). http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg Edward Bellamy's book was an international bestseller translated into every major language, including Italian. http://rexcurry.net/edward-bellamy-national-socialist.html The fasces symbol appears in Congress http://rexcurry.net/fascism=socialism4a.jpg It is used in other government seals and symbols http://rexcurry.net/fascism=socialism3b.jpg The fasces is on the seal of the Rome Academy where Francis Bellamy (1855-1932) attended school. http://rexcurry.net/fascist-flag.jpg Francis Bellamy resided in Rome, New York. The Rome Free Academy exists today and its seal continues to display two fasces. Many cities in the state of New York have names from classical history (Troy, Ithaca, Syracuse, Utica, Rome) and that is why New York is the "Empire State," a reference to the Roman empire, and origin of the term "Empire State Building" for New York City's famous landmark. The Pledge's right-arm salute was repeated in early movies containing fictional Roman scenes. Movies were new worldwide wonders that amazed and influenced everyone (including the socialist Mussolini in Italy and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party). http://rexcurry.net/american-philological-association-apa.html All of the above contributed to the Roman salute myth (the myth that the stiff-arm salute was an ancient Roman salute), debunked by the etymologist Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets"). http://rexcurry.net/roman-salute-metropolitan-museum-of-art.html The stiff-armed American salute spread through various groups including the Theosophical Society and Freemasons that supported or were supported by Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy. It also spread globally through Girl Scout and Boy Scouts. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html In 1888, Edward Bellamy authored "Looking Backward" and it became an international bestseller, translated into every major language, including German and Italian. Bellamy's book was known as the bible of National Socialism and it inspired Nationalism movements worldwide. The Bellamy's touted "military socialism." Madame Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society, openly endorsed Bellamy's book. Her group worked with Bellamy's Nationalism movement. http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html The swastika symbol was used by the Theosophical Society (from 1875) during the time when the Bellamys, Freemasons and the Theosophical Society worked together to promote socialism. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html American socialists bear some blame for altering the notorious symbol used as overlapping S-letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers Party. http://rexcurry.net/swastika3clear.jpg As German socialism's notorious flag symbol, the swastika was deliberately turned 45 degrees to the horizontal and always oriented in the S-direction. Similar alphabetic symbolism is still visible as Volkswagen logos. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-audi-logo.JPG Near the same period, the well-known and long-time socialist Benito Mussolini began to mimick American socialists in their use of the stiff-arm salute, robotic chanting to flags, the use of the fasces as a symbol of government, and the glorification of ancient Rome (or myths about Rome). In 1921, Mussolini (who acquired his title "il duce" -leader- when he was known only as a socialist, long before his new f-word for socialist factions) created a new sub-group called Fasci di combattimento (also known as the Fascio nazionale di combattimento. Notice the use of the word "Nazionale" in another eerie parallel to the same use for the National Socialist German Workers Party, the origin of the word "Nazi"). The term "fascio" was the Italian word for workers' groups, peasant organizations, labor unions and the other socialist groups where Mussolini had developed a large following. It meant "band," or people banding together, and referred to his socialist band of combat. It is similar to the word "faction" in that Mussolini's group was another of many socialist-inspired factions. Socialism is always faction against faction. When Mussolini chose the ancient Roman fasces as a symbol of his socialist group, he was at the same time playing with the similarity of the words fascio and fasces, choosing an ancient symbol, and drawing a parallel between it and the socialists who had banded together, spellbound by Mussolini's leadership. Another well-known socialist at that time was the leader of the National Socialist Workers Party in Germany (Hitler acquired the title "Furher" -leader- when he fascinated socialist groups, long before others applied new terms to his socialism). He had expanded the name of the party from "German Workers Party" at the same time that the swastika was adopted to represent S-letters banded together and symbolizing socialists banding together as the NSDAP. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hakenkreuz-oxford-english-dictionary.html An American socialist group supported German socialists, and it was named the "German-American Bund" (German American Band or "Faction"). Mussolini's evolution of the fasces is similar to Hitler's evolution of an old symbol, the hakenkreuz (hooked cross) into modern alphabetic symbolism as "S" letters for "socialism," as shown in Dr. Curry's work. http://rexcurry.net/fascism-third-reich-hitler-nazism-swastika456.jpg In late 1937, Mussolini continued to work with other socialists, including the National Socialist German Workers Party. Mussolini visited Germany in 1937 and pledged himself to support the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. In 1939, the National Socialist German Workers' Party joined as allies with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to invade Poland in a pact to divide up Europe, spreading WWII. During the second of the Dark Ages, socialism (a.k.a. Fascism) became fashionable, with fancy military uniforms, marching parades, and flag waving adoration. It led to modern inquisitions and the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 60 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 50 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 20 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The worst inquisitions were the modern inquisitions (the socialist inquisitions), and they were the deadliest. Socialism/Fascism became unfashionable. The Dark Age also refers to the period in Europe from the fall of Rome. The socialist Dark Age resulted from mimicking ancient Rome - and myths about Rome - as if to resurrect them. American socialists had revived the fasces (and the swastika) and what it represented: fastening, binding and enslaving individuals to a centralized leviathan. Socialism fastens everyone to involuntary government programs and modern slavery. It binds everyone to bureaucracy. America is still the worst example in the world of bizarre laws that lead robotic chanting to the fasciate federal flag in government schools (socialist schools) every day for 12 years of every child's life. It has changed generations of Americans from libertarians to authoritarians. The ax in the fasces represents the constant threat of violence toward all who desire freedom. ************************ Dr. Rex Curry’s work has been verified and used on Wikipedia.

The Dark Age also refers to the period in Europe from the fall of Rome in the fifth century A.D. to the restoration of relative political stability around the year 1000; the early part of the Middle Ages. The worst inquisitions were the modern inquisitions (the socialist inquisitions), and they were the deadliest. Fasces literally means 'fagot.' (or fagot meaning a bundle of twigs, sticks, or branches bound together. see also tr.v. fagoted, faggoted, fagoting also faggoting, fagots also faggots. Meaning to bind into a fagot or bundle. Or to decorate with fagoting. [Middle English, from Old French, from Old Provençal, possibly from Vulgar Latin facus, from Greek phakelos, bundle]. The word "fagot" has an obscure origin and might be from the word Fasces or from the same root. If the word "fasces" is pronounced with a hard "C" (as in old Latin) it is much closer to the word "fagot." For the same reason, a fagot is also known as a fascine (a long bundle of sticks bound together, used in building earthworks and batteries and in strengthening ramparts). |
