The Hitler salute was not an "ancient salute" nor an "ancient Roman
salute" as that is a debunked myth.

Even the term "Roman salute" is a recent invention, quickly adopted
and repeated by rubes ever since. The earliest use of the term "Roman
salute" in the New York Times was 1922. That is, of course, a long
time after 1892, the year of the Pledge of Allegiance. The term "Roman
salute" did not exist in 1892, and you cannot show otherwise, all you
can do is display your ignorance with childish evasions of the topic.
Francis Bellamy (author of the pledge) did not ever use the term
"Roman salute" and he clearly explained the origin of his gesture: The
Pledge began with a military salute that was then extended outward to
point at the flag. In practice, the 2nd gesture was performed palm
down by rubes (such as yourselves) who lazily pointed the military
salute at the flag.

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) from Dr. Rex Curry's work.

Bellamy was a self-proclaimed national socialists, as was his cousin
Edward Bellamy, and they influenced German national socialists, their
dogma, rituals (robotic chanting in unisonon 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.
