Rex Curry makes NEWS re swastikas on USSR's paper currency !!
A lot of fascinating research examines how socialists and their
propaganda have haunted the world. Many authors worry today about a future filled with persecution and global socialism. Those worries have relevance to the enormous size and scope of government worldwide. In 1917, socialism was imposed in Russia when the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was formed after the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the Russian Civil War of 1918-1920. The propaganda machinary introduced a new symbol for the new government: the swastika. The Soviet swastika was so popular that paper money printed in the year 1917 carried large swastikas in the center of the bills. http://rexcurry.net/ussr-socialist-s...cccp-sssr.html A similar fad grew in Germany, where the symbol was popular with socialists and became the sign of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP). Through the work of both countries, the swastika would become a global symbol of socialism. Eventually, Soviet socialists switched from the swastika to the hammer and sickle. The hammer and sickle resembles the earlier Soviet swastika flipped horizontally. The USSR's hammer and sickle might have been intended as a visual reminder of the Russian version of its own earlier swastika. The swastika flag under German National Socialism was influenced by the Soviet swastika and by the hammer and sickle of Soviet socialism. Each country's symbol resembles the other symbol pointing in the opposite direction, and with alterations. The Soviet swastika was unusual due to these features: it was 45 degrees to the horizontal (in a diamond shape), it was pointed clockwise, it was squared at its corners, and it was proportionally the same as the swastika used later by German National Socialists. Swastikas can point either way and are often flat on one side. The Soviet swastika and the German swastika were the same swastika. The swastika had been used by socialist groups in Germany before 1917, however the earlier use was never the same as the Soviet swastika, and the symbol was almost always flat on one side and likely to point in either direction. When German National Socialists altered their swastika it occurred after the debut of the Soviet swastika in 1917. The definitive version of the swastika under German National Socialism (e.g. the version on the flag) was inspired by the Soviet swastika. The Soviet swastika's unusual orientation emphasizes the appearance of alphabetic "S" lettering. Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets") discovered that it was also used sometimes by German National Socialists to represent "S" letters for their "socialism." The leader of German National Socialism rotated the symbol 45 degrees and had newer uses oriented clockwise. He altered his own signature to use the same symbolism, and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html The NSGWP's use of the swastika as "S" letters in alphabetic symbolism for "Socialism" was inspired by the Soviet swastika. The USSR's swastika was seen as a union of "S" letters for "Soviet Socialist" as in the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" (In German: "Union der Sozialistischen Sowjetrepubliken"). After the swastika became the symbol of German National Socialists, the symbol was altered to represent intertwined "S" letters for "Sieg Socialism" (Socialist Victory) or "Socialist Solidarity" or representing socialists from different groups joining together under the NSGWP (especially after other groups were banned in another example of German socialists copying Soviet socialists). If the acronym "USSR" used a swastika to replace the two "S" letters, then it would illustrate the symbolism of the Soviet swastika, similar to how it appeared in the center of paper currency under Soviet socialism. In 1917, some Soviet Socialists might have interpreted the symbol more generally as "Soviet Socialists" or "Union of Soviets" or "Union of Socialists" ("Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh" or "Soyuz Sovetskikh" or "Soyuz Sotsialisticheskikh" from "Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik" or SSSR). German National Socialists and Soviet Socialists have a history of aping each other. The flag color for German National Socialists was influenced by Soviet Socialists. One country mimicked the other in the adoption of the salutes that they imposed on their civilians, and both countries mimicked the United States (the origin of their salutes). Dr. Rex Curry showed that the USA's early Pledge of Allegiance (to the flag) used an extended-arm salute and it was the origin of the salute of the German National Socialists and Soviet Socialists. Francis Bellamy created the pledge to the USA's flag, and he was a self-proclaimed socialist in the nationalism movement in the USA. The USA's original pledge began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. Dr. Curry showed that, due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the salute adopted later by German Socialists and Soviet Socialists. Their salutes are extended military salutes via the USA's pledge. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html Bellamy's original pledge stated that the palm should be turned upward with the arm gracefully curved upward. In actual practice in the USA, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children who merely extended the military salute while perfunctorily performing the forced ritual chanting. That was the origin of the hard stylized salute adopted later by German National Socialists. The Soviet socialist salute is arguably closer to Bellamy's first description because the arm is maintained in a curved position as if the American salute was started but not completed. Soviet socialists then followed the American practice of not turning the palm upward. The dogma of socialists in the United States, Germany, Russia and elsewhere led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 65 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. |

The letter S is C in Cyrillic; English USSR comes out CCCP. The idea of two intertwined S letters would have no meaning for Russians. -- Bob Underhill Delete everything in CAPS to reply by email |

Thanks for the comment. It would have some meaning for some people in
the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It would have meaning for the smart people who were in control of its socialist totalitarianism. http://rexcurry.net/ussr-socialist-s...cccp-sssr.html Vladimir Lenin (the first leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) was fluent in German, English, and other languages. Many educated Russians were fluent in other languages. Lenin is credited with translating Karl Marx's Manifesto from German into Russian. Marx was German. The book "Lenin - A New Biography," page 8. ISBN 0-02-933435-7 by Dimitri Volkogonov states that Lenin's antecedents were Russian, German, Swedish, and others. Lenin had previously lived in Munich, Germany and in Vienna, Austria (Both cities were essentially the hometowns of the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party). Lenin's original name was not "Lenin." He adopted the pseudonym "Lenin" in Germany. His previous name was: Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. The name Lenin (Ленин) was acquired while he was staying near Lehnin Abbey, in Brandenburg, Germany. It is fascinating to note here another ominous parallel with the life of the leader of German National Socialism who resided at Lambach Abbey in Austria, and first saw the swastika symbol on the Abbey's exterior decorations. Lenin had been in Germany shortly before returning to the USSR in 1917. He traveled throughout Germany and Europe meeting other socialists and making plans. Lenin collaborated with powerful socialist politicans in Germany, including Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht (They are sometimes referred to as "The Three L's" for Lenin, Luxemburg and Liebknecht). Another of the many socialist groups that existed in Germany at that time was the German Workers' Party, in existance since 1902, and later to become the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in 1919. The leader of the NSGWP had wanted to call the group the "Social Revolutionary Party"). Some of the many socialist groups were known as Freikorps and they already used the swastika symbol in Germany (although at that time the symbol was always flat on one side and likely to point in either direction). On November 9, 1918, Liebknecht declared the formation of a "Deutsche Freie Sozialistische Republik" (German Free Socialist Republic). Some Freikorps groups were used in aid of the new socialist provisional government in Germany. At the time of the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II (March 1917) at Petrograd in the 1917 February Revolution, Vladimir Lenin was residing in Switzerland (during WWI) but, with the aid of the German government, he was able to return to Russia quickly. Fritz Platten, a swiss citizen, made special arrangments with the German government for Lenin and his company to travel through Germany by train. Once past Germany, Lenin continued by ferry to Sweden, and the rest of the trip through Scandinavia was arranged by Otto Grimlund and Ture Nerman. Back in his own Fatherland, Lenin was accused of being a traitor and an agent of Germany by Aleksander Kerensky and others. The Soviet swastika might be more evidence that supports that accusation. After murdering so many people, Lenin died (1924) of complications years after a murder attempt (in 1918) by an assassin who accused him of being a traitor. On August 30, 1918, Fanya Kaplan shot Lenin three times and later explained that she considered Lenin a traitor, and particularly so for Lenin's banning of other socialist groups, including her group. She was a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party (It is interesting to note that the leader of the NSGWP had originally wanted to call his party the "Social Revolutionary Party"). An earlier (and possibly unrelated) assassination attempt had occurred on January 14, 1918, when gun shots had been fired at Lenin as he rode in a car with Fritz Platten (the person who had arranged Germany's aid in returning Lenin to Russia). Lenin's dogma was the same dogma that led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 65 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. |
