Subject: News Journalists honored by Google News for exposing Nazis
Tom Brokaw, anchor and managing editor of the top-rated "NBC Nightly News,"
and Rex Curry, lawyer and libertarian commentator, are the first journalists
honored for exposing the "National Socialist German Workers' Party" to the
public in Google News' search engine. Google News shows only Brokaw's and
Curry's use of the full phrase in Google News archives. Google News selects
from 4,500 news sources updated continuously.A google news search http://news.google.com/ (of any use on any date) for
the full phrase revealed only six uses, five belonging to Curry and one
belonging to Brokaw. Brokaw's use was actually posted as a book review at
MSNBC and was not actually a "news" item. All of the other uses were by
Curry reporting on widespread ignorance about the full phrase, about the
Pledge of Allegiance, and leading to Curry's historic news-making story that
the U.S. Pledge was the origin of the salute of the horrid National
Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis).Other news journalists can still join Brokaw and Curry as the first
journalists to educate the public about the full phrase in the news media.
News journalists can take third place, or make the top ten.Tom Brokaw is Anchor and Managing Editor of the top-rated "NBC Nightly
News," Contributing Anchor on "Dateline NBC," Program Anchor for MSNBC, and
Author of "The Greatest Generation," "The Greatest Generation Speaks" and
"An Album of Memories." Brokaw is equally at ease covering news events from
the world's capitals or in small towns across America, whether from his
anchor desk at NBC News' world headquarters in New York, or from locations
across the country or around the world.Rex Curry is published worldwide as a libertarian and a lawyer, too, with a
degree in journalism. During his investigative reporting, Curry located
historic photographs of the original Pledge of Allegiance (with the
straight-arm salute) and now maintains the only website that collects and
displays those photographs. http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge2.html as a pro
bono service to help educate the public. Curry is a sixth-generation
Floridian, and a life-long resident. His predecessors helped settle Key West
back when Florida's government was virtually non-existent. The Curry Mansion
(historic home of Florida's first millionaire capitalist) is still on the
local tour.In comparison to the above, Google News indicates that the hackneyed
shorthand "Nazi" has 9320 results from various news writers who all failed
to ever mention the actual name of the monstrous Party.**********************************
Flag Day is here (June 14), and the Pledge of Allegiance court case
is expected to be decided soon. As an attorney, I am asked about the case's
historic precedent. The history of the Pledge shocked my libertarian mind.The Pledge was the origin of the salute of the horrid National
Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). The Pledge's original salute was
straight-armed. The Pledge's creator was a National Socialist in the U.S.
(Francis Bellamy).It is a myth that the straight-arm salute is an old Roman salute
adopted by Mussolini. According to Dr. Martin Winkler in "The Roman Salute
on Film" of the American Philological Association, the salute is not in any
Roman art or text. The salute occurs in these films: the American "Ben-Hur"
(1907), the Italian "Nerone" (1908), "Spartaco" (1914), and "Cabiria"
(1914). In imitation of such films, self-styled Italian "Consul" Gabriele D
'Annunzio borrowed the salute as a propaganda tool for his political
ambitions upon his occupation of Fiume in 1919. Earlier, D'Annunzio had
worked with Giovanni Pastrone in his colossal epic Cabiria (1914). Mussolini
worked with D'Annunzio. Even so, evidence shows that the National Socialist
German Workers' Party officially adopted the salute before Mussolini did,
not vice versa.Dr. Winkler didn't know about the original U.S. flag salute (1892)
that inspired the films, and that the National Socialist German Workers'
Party was inspired by the films and by the Pledge of Allegiance. The U.S.
changed the salute during WWII.**********************
