How old is the swastika?

The swastika can be dated back to about 3,000 years ago but some scientists believe it is over 10,000 years old. Originally it met life, sun, power, strength, and good luck. Even Native Americans used the Swastika and because of this the 45th Infantry Division (U.S.A) even had the swastika as there emblem during WW1 but was changed when the Nazi party used the emblem. Now days the swastika symbolizes hate, anti-Semitism, violence, death, and murder although this is not it's true meaning.


The bent cross adopted as the symbol of the National Socialist German Worker's Party?

hakenkreuz "hooked cross" = swastica. when people say "bent cross" they are just misinformed and probably mean "hooked cross", most likely. Germans call it "hakenkreuz" and people that speak English call it "swastica"

Who did the Supreme Court favor in the Skokie Case?

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court that considered the planned Skokie march by the National Socialist Party of America to be a matter of free speech. Thus, the National Socialist Party of America was allowed to march in Skokie and use the swastika as a symbol during their march. (Ultimately, no march was held in Skokie, rather in surrounding neighborhoods). Correction: Skokie case never reached the U.S. Supreme Court. It was considered the "easy case" because precedent from past 1st Amendment issues would have easily overturned the Illinois State Supreme Court ruling


What was the end to the red scare?

If by 'red scare' you mean the end of the arms race and the cold war, there are a lot of opinions on that. In my opinion, the Russians ran out of money and gave up. The Russians were impressed by the pin-pint accuracy of American bombs dropped in Kosovo and Iraq. Our laser guided armaments were extremely accurate. Further, Ronald Reagan promised to put shield for nuclear weapons that Russia couldn't match. I think they threw in the towel.
