WHICH SECRET CULT IS REALLY RUNNING THINGS?

CELEBS DOING ILLUMINATI HAND SIGNS

There are many theories about this, but whether you think it’s Freemasons, Illuminati, Satanists, or elite Jewish families who are running things, there is no doubt that in stuff like Formula 1 racing, movies, music, politics, and pretty much everything else that is popular, many, if not most, of the big names are constantly flashing hand signs like “inverted pyramid” or “devil’s horns” and throwing out symbols like the number “666” or black & white checkers. They really like to shout their allegiances to their cults from the roof tops…

These things are usually all dismissed as coincidences or conspiracy theories, but after the first 100 or so coincidences I started to become suspicious. Though there is endless misinformation being thrown into the mix in order to make this all the more confusing, and half of the stuff included here is this post is probably utter crap, but I’ve just chucked it all in to get the ball rolling.

Sir Lewis Hamilton (7x world Formula 1 champion, vegan activist, and “prominent advocate against racism”) 

Lewis Hamilton happens to have an engineer whose nickname is BONO. (Peter Bonnington, often known as Bono, is a British Formula One engineer). Odd? – no, of course not, don’t be so paranoid!

The original BONO (U2 front man, “philanthropist”, “activist for social justice causes” and “Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order”) likes to do a few hand gestures as well, but there is nothing odd about this…

List of Celebrity Illuminati Members: Confirmed and Current

Current celebrity Illuminati members

Current Illuminati Grand Masters

There are currently 24 Illuminati Grand Masters. There are only five celebrity Illuminati members currently occupying the highest level within the Order.

  • Elizabeth II, Queen of England
  • Bill Gates
  • Stephen Hawking
  • Larry Page and Sergey Brin (co-founders of Google; Google often uses next-level Illuminati symbolism within its search iconography. Some insider sources claim that Page and Brin where raised by the Illuminati from birth)

Celebrity Illuminati Knights

The Illuminati Knights are elite members of the Order, second only to the Grand Masters. Future Grand Masters are typically selected from the Knights, unless a hereditary position (such as King or Queen of England) gives automatic Grand Master status. The current number of Illuminati Knights could be anywhere from 250 to 1,000.

  • Jeff Bezos (CEO of Amazon.com)
  • Nick Mason (drummer from English rock band Pink Floyd)
  • Werner Herzog (German movie director)
  • Elon Musk (founder of PayPal and Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, among others)
  • Laurence Fishburne (the Illuminati’s strongest “sleeper” presence within the Hollywood system, a key “social cog”)
  • Tom Jones (singer)
  • Richard Branson (English business magnate and investor)
  • Harrison Schmitt (astronaut, now retired; Schmitt was the twelfth and last man to set foot on the Moon — officially, at least)
  • Paul Verhoeven (movie director)
  • Dimitar Berbatov (former Bulgarian soccer player; Berbatov has been a valuable Illuminati asset over the years, and is probably the highest ranking sports celebrity within the Order)
Confirmed celebrity Illuminati members

Neophyte Celebrity Illuminati Members

The neophytes are members who have been accepted into the Illuminati Order but have yet to prove themselves worthy of further advancement. They have limited access to both The Secret Armoire (high-level Illuminati documents) and The Secret Boudoir (high-level Illuminati orgies and breeding systems).

  • Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter (the French electronic music duo better known as Daft Punk)
  • Mark Zuckerberg (cofounder and chairman of Facebook; Zuckerberg was an Illuminati Knight for 38 days but was soon demoted for being “repetitively annoying”)
  • Orlando Bloom (actor)
  • Jim Morrison (lead singer of the The Doors; Morrison supposedly died of a heroin overdose in 1971, an obvious fabrication; it is not yet known what role he has been given within the New World Order, but completion of his task will likely lead to him becoming an Illuminati Knight or possibly a Grand Master in the future)
  • Celebrity Illuminati agent Jim Morrison
  • David Fincher (movie director)
  • David Beckham (soccer player)
  • Padma Lakshmi (Indian-born American cookbook author, actress, model and television host; Lakshmi became a handmaiden at the age of 14 and was promoted to Illuminati Neophyte at the age of 28 due to her impressive range of abilities; some Illuminati members believe she will be the next woman promoted to Knight status)
  • James Franco (actor and director)
  • Kevin Spacey (actor, director, screenwriter, and producer)
  • Simon Cowell (there are many rumors about Cowell, rumors that come from within the Illuminati itself; it seems likely that Cowell is playing a far more significant role within the New World Order than many believe, perhaps a long-term task handed to him by the Grand Masters)

Illuminati Handmaidens

Only a handful of women have ever reached the higher ranks of the Illuminati. In general, women occupy the very lowest Illuminati rank, that of handmaidens. Handmaidens carry out menial tasks such as making the tea and sandwiches at Illuminati meetings. Many handmaidens also act as body slaves to the Illuminati Knights, serving them sexually when requested.

Despite their low status, Illuminati handmaidens receive the same amount of support and social furtherance as Illuminati Knights. Some handmaidens are given more complex tasks, including infiltration (see Katie Holmes) and, in extreme cases, assassination.

  • Tyra Banks
  • Miranda Kerr (supermodel and Orlando Bloom’s personal “wife”/body slave; Bloom apparently won Kerr while playing poker with Illuminati Knight Laurence Fishburne)
  • Heidi Klum
  • Lady Gaga (unconfirmed and only a rumor; Gaga uses blatant Illuminati symbolism but her membership has not been confirmed; she/he may possibly be a handmaiden candidate)
  • Kylie Minogue
  • Kate Bush (English singer-songwriter; Bush, born in 1958, is the Arch Lady charged with organizing the Illuminati Handmaidens)
  • Rihanna (according to a reliable source, Rihanna has been fast-tracked by the Illuminati; she is likely to rise to neophyte status soon, if she isn’t a neophyte already)
  • Björk
  • Tim Gunn (fashion consultant and TV personality; the only gay male celebrity handmaiden, now too old to be a body slave for anyone except Queen Elizabeth)
  • Sarah Michelle Gellar (actress famous for playing Buffy the Vampire Slayer and for a cinematic lesbian kiss with Selma Blair)
  • Mila Kunis (rumored member only; like Lady Gaga, she is probably a handmaiden candidate)
  • Celine Dion
  • Katie Holmes (in 2005, Holmes was tasked with infiltrating the Church of Scientology, an organization despised by the Illuminati; she courted and married Tom Cruise, a leading figure in Scientology, remaining as his wife for five years; it is said that Holmes will certainly become an Illuminati Knight in the future, a more than justifiable reward for having tolerated Tom Cruise for so long)

The 12 masonic signs of recognition

http://waitingtorot.blogspot.com/2007/11/12-masonic-signs-of-recognition_27.html

This post is a review of the masonic signs described in the German book: “Freimaurersignale in der Presse” or freemasonic signals in the press.(This book and Richardson’s monitor of freemasonry can be downloaded on peer to peer like emule or you can also buy them online from a number of sources). The names for the signs come from the book “Sign Language Of The Mysteries” which was written decades earlier (see the other post on this blog for a review). Both books describe pretty much the same signs even thought they were written independently of each other.

Proof that many signs used by freemasons consist of simply pointing the index finger. Here are pictures from an old training manual used by freemasons, “Richardson’s monitor of freemasonry”. The bottom right drawing is taken from “Scotch Rite Masonry Illustrated Part 2” page 26.

More signs from Scotch Rite Masonry Illustrated vol.2

Here are four photos that are obvious intentional poses. Otherwise how could the photographer frame the camera to capture the index finger just at the edge like that? Pointing the finger away from the body is known in occult circles as “the sign of faith”, while pointing upward is the “sign of preservation”.
Obama holding a pose for the camera. Look at the frozen expression on his face and how the words “to lead” are nicely included. Also notice how his pointing finger is perfectly framed. This is again the masonic sign of faith.

Two sub variation of the “pointing the index sign”. Left is singer Barbara Hendricks making the index near the eye sign. This poster was used for a masonic charity in Belgium. Note the masonic square and compass at the top. Right is Rahm Emanuel making the sign of silence

The sign of the pyramid. The triangle being so important a symbol to freemasons, it is perfectly natural that they would make triangles with their hands. Pictured: Stephen Harper, Michelle Obama in an obvious scriped pose with that “halo” around her head, CIA war criminal Hayden and Lybia’s Gaddafi during his dec. 2007 visit to France. Notice the blatant way Gaddafi does the pyramid sign while he is standing and looking directly at the photographers present.

Bush, Ron Paul, Putin and Chavez. This is the occult “Sign of Praise” or sign of admiration (see Richardson’s monitor of freemasonry p.62), one of the most commonly used masonic/occult signal. The gesture looks like someone is holding an invisible ball. An ancient religious sign that is still used today by different religions but it is also used by freemasons as a sign of recognition.

The sign of praise again. Source: www.indotalisman.com

France’s Sarkozy doing the ancient vesica pisces sign a.k.a the “ok” sign. Why is this gesture considered so important that it has to be published so often?
The sign of the fist is not just used by communists. Here is Richard Nixon, Michael Hayden, Ted Turner and Pervez Musharraf
The masonic handshake: the thumb has to press the knuckle. Above is the “pope” Ratzinger. It is an open secret that this man is a freemason. Some French freemasons even wrote an open letter exposing him. Below left is the current chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, dubbed by the medias as “the people’s premier”. China and Iran are also run by freemasonry and the current “rift” with the USA is nothing but theater. Bottom right is Chirac with BRD chancellor Merkel. On the basis of this handshake one can recognize, in which freemasonic degrees the interlocutors are.
The heart sign or sign of fidelity. No, this gesture was not made because a national anthem was being played because this man is Quebec’s former separatist leader, André Boisclair, and Quebec has no national antem of any sort. The first picture was made when he was defending a political ally under media pressure and the second was made on election night 2007 when he expressed gratitude toward his supporters after some rather devastating electoral results for his party. The bottom picture is also from election night but taken by a different photographer…
This is the “eyes looking up” masonic code. This is an imitation of Jesus on the cross as he was often portrayed in religious art with his eyes looking up to his Father (see pictures at bottom). First picture: notice how Castro is the only one looking up and also notice that his left hand is pointing downward. Top right: This man is the chairman of the (so called) Bank of Canada, David Dodge. The caption below the photo from nov. 2007 hinted that the Bank of Canada “would probably” lower it’s interest rates in december (and indeed, the rates were later lowered as “predicted”). Notice how he is barely able to keep a straight face while doing his little shifty masonic signal.. The last photo shows former Quebec premier Lucien Bouchard in sept. 2007 while defending his brother who was embroiled in a minor political controversy. It is rare to see the eyes looking up code used alone. Usualy, it is used in combination with one of the other codes discussed here.

China’s Hu Jintao and US ambassador John Bolton doing the masonic eyeglass grasp sign. Why would so many different pro photographers find such a banale gesture so important? Try photographing your relatives doing this. You would have to wait all day for something that last only a fraction of a second, think about it…

The hand on the necktie (sign of distress). Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made this gesture on 30 january 2007 after a rather devastating report was published about the disastrous 2006 war in Lebanon

Hand on the neck (distress signal) Obama did this gesture after the “Hillary-India memo” controversy. http://asapblogs.typepad.com/news/2007/06/oops_that_was_a.html

12 MASONIC SIGNALS IN THE MEDIA

We see them everyday in newspapers and magazines: pictures of men and women from
politics, economics and important institutions, which show mostly strange “hand
signals” .But few newspaper readers think about it, because these pictures do not say
anything to them; But they say to freemasons and other insiders very much. Who would let themselves be photographed time and times again in such a way? Already in the earliest youth children will be told, when one makes a photo with them, to take their fingers away from their face and to use no hand gestures. Thus why do politicians, economics and further personalities allow such photos of themselves to be made? Further ,which editor-in chief would picks the worst pictures out from the dozens of photos available, which upon careful observation, always show the same ugly gestures? But it has already its sense, because these hand signals, views and grasps are messages under “insiders”. With these hand signals secret messages and instructions, are passed on mainly by signal photos in the press. In order that this code does not attract the attention of the average reader, the “insiders” use a whole set of harmlessly looking hand signals and gestures. Only those who understand this code, from newspapers and magazines will understand, what is really going on in politics, economics, culture and even in the sport.
Here are the 12 gestures of the freemasons, which are spread over the press:1 pointing of the index finger in a photograph (the index near the eyes and near the mouth are distinct masonic signs. Pointing the index straight at the camera, is also a sign seen often in newwspapers.
2 the ubiquitous ok sign
3 the fist
4 making a pyramid with the forearms
5 the hand in play (holding an invisible ball with one or both hands) very common
6 the hand on the heart for no explained reason (like oath swearing etc)
7 masonic handshake (the thumb is seen turned downward and pressing the other person’s knuckle)
8 eyes looking up for no explained reason (immitation of pictures of Jesus on the cross)
9 looking above the glasses in a picture
10 touching the glasses in a picture
11 hands on the nectie in a picture (distress signal)
12 hands on the neck (distress signal)


33 Famous Illuminati Members

List of all famous Illuminati members, past and present. . . supposedly. The following list of celebrity Illuminati members, each have these celebs have talked about the Illuminati, used their symbology or practiced Illuminati rituals in some way– whether privately or in the public eye. These possible famous Illuminati members range from world leaders to pop culture celebrities.

The Illuminati was founded in 1776 in Bavaria by Adam Weishaupt. It was initially created to house the great thinkers of the area and was modeled after another secret society, the Freemasons. A few years later the government outlawed all secret societies so the Illuminati was thought to be disbanded, though they have been the focus of numerous conspiracy theories throughout the years. Some theories are that the Illuminati members run the world behind the scenes as a New World Order, some say that the Illuminati is run by shape-shifting lizard/human hybrids. In any case the debate of who is a member of the Illuminati has captured our fascination for years.

Who are famous Illuminati members? This list is a culmination of names of supposed celebrity Illuminati Members from various internet sources and should not be considered definitive.

Alleged Illuminati celebs include singers, rappers, and high profile Hollywood actors. Even powerful businessmen and women are alleged to have Illuminati ties along with other World leaders, and business people in leadership positions (even entire companies are alleged to have Illuminati ties). Angelina Jolie and Jay Z are just a few examples of alleged Illuminati members.
