Masonic Hand Signs and Symbols

I've been very interested in symbolism for over 15 years. We have to ask,
why certain symbols appear to be important, especially since there is no
simple explanation for many of them. People generally dont stop and think
about the symbols that they see every day, while they are walking down the
street, or think about certain hand signs given by well known people. But to
my way of thinking they must be important.

An example is the five-pointed star. It is on the flags of several dozen

countries around the world. Why? The Greek root word for star is aster
which may be related to Astarte. It may represent the star Sirius. When
upside down, it represents evil and perhaps bad things coming from the
direction of Sirius.

Recently I saw a cross-key symbol on the Pope's vestment. The same symbol
appeared one time on the vestment of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Why??
But this brief article, is concerned mainly with the arcane subject of Masonic
hand signs and symbols, especially in the cartoon, The Simpsons.

The Masonic Simpsons

Masons could indicate that they were a brother Mason by giving a hand sign
or some other signal. The Simpsons cartoon show is rife with Masonic
symbolism and hand signs. Is someone trying to send a message? The
Masonic double cross is seen in the hallway of the home. It's the hat/coat
rack. Sometimes it morphs into a triple cross. There are numerous other
double crosses seen in that cartoon.

Various hand signs, which I believe are all Masonic, are seen in the show.
These signs certainly have one meaning for the masses and one for the
occultists. The basic hand signs are the following; index finger extended (sign
of John the Baptist?), index and middle finger extended (Catholic sign of
benediction or sign of John the Evangelist), Satan hand sign, little finger and
thumb extended hand sign, the A-OK hand sign, Spock hand sign, middle/ring
finger together hand sign, peace hand sign, thumbs up hand sign, and so on.

The producers of the Simpsons show went to great lengths to insert most of
these hand signs into the show. My favorite is the one with Homer giving the
Satan hand sign while in the chalet with Burns. I was stunned when I noticed
it. Luckily, I was taping the show and lifted the image using a Mac Performa.
The sign appeared in about six frames. The total time for these frames was
much less than a second. Most definitely a subliminal. But why? I have heard
first hand from a professor of psychology that subliminals don't work. Hard
for me to believe.

I used to watch the Simpsons a lot. Many of the early episodes were funny,
although the swearing of the kids was upsetting. I don't watch it anymore.
But I happened to have the TV on while doing some work one time. A newer
episode was on. In this episode I'm sure that I saw a red upside down five
pointed star painted in the Simpson living room. It was only on for a second.

I suspect that these subliminals have some effect on people. I've seen it
myself in the classroom, as I'm a teacher. One time a student said, "In your
face sir", (Homer's saying) when I had to admit that I made a mistake on the
chalk board. He was a known Simpsons fan.

When I first learned about the Satan hand sign, I found it hard to believe. I
showed the sign to a teenaged relative and asked him what it meant. He
immediately said "Hail Satan". All the kids at the rock concerts know this and
so do all of the rock stars. We've now seen many stars, and politicians, giving
the sign. They all know what it means. I believe that Dubya gave the sign
amidst the WTC rubble shortly after 911. I'm pretty sure that I saw that on
TV.

It doesn't mean "Hook'em horns" or Hang Loose. When Bush and family were
caught giving it, there was a bit of an uproar on the net a while back. Certain
people who should know better said it just meant Hook'em horns. I sent
several pics and a letter to a certain web site. He didn't post them but I'm
sure that he sent the pics to Alex Jones who did. I sent pics of Prince
William, Elizabeth Taylor and Bill Clinton giving the Satan hand sign. There was
a picture recently in the Globe and Mail showing Sarkozy giving the sign with
both hands. There was also a recent picture of Ahmadinejad giving it which
was seen on the net. Do we have an attempt by Satan to announce a world
takeover? Looks that way to me.

The other hand signs seen in the show are also given by numerous politicians,
CEO's and entertainers. I see them in the papers and on TV all of the time.
Check out the business section of the papers.
One time, on New Years, I decided to tape the TV as I was out at a party. I
watched the several hours of tape the next day and there wasn't too much
of interest on, except that Wayne Newton was being interviewed. He said
that it would be a good thing if America was attacked by terrorists. This was
on Jan 1/2000 (I believe). As he said this, he raised his hand very quickly and
put it down. I thought that he gave the Satan hand sign, but it was too fast. I
rewound the tape and looked again. He clearly gave the A-OK hand sign!

I now believe that these many signs and symbols represent various Illuminati
factions fighting it out behind the scenes. And those people giving those hand
signs are "under control". This is bad news for the rest of us until this info
becomes widely known. The good news is, I haven't seen Ron Paul giving any
strange hand signs yet.
