The Hidden Hand that Shaped History
Oct 20th, 2009 | By Vigilant | Category: Vigilant ReportsHas the course of History been directed by a small group of people with common interests? The paintings and pictures of the great men of the past centuries reveal a common thread which links them together. Is it a coincidence that many of them hid one of their hands when posing for a portrait? It seems unlikely. We’ll look at the Masonic origin of the “hidden hand” and the powerful men who used the sign in famous portraits.
- Stalin and Washington – two opposing ideologies, one hand gesture
“Today’s thinking toward a democratic world state is neither a new trend nor an accidental circumstance; the work of setting up the background of knowledge necessary to the establishing of enlightened democracy among all nations has been carried on for many hundreds of years by secret societies.”
-Manly P. Hall, Secret Destiny of America
Is there a hidden force behind the world events of the past centuries? Are the fall of European monarchies, the bringing forth of the Age of Enlightenment and our path towards a world democracy part of a great plan lead by a “hidden hand”? Before the advent of mass media, portraits depicting their leaders in majestic poses were the only artifacts people had. Do these portraits have an occult meaning?
One of those poses is the “hiding of the hand”. I remember my history teacher trying to explain why Napoleon was often shown with a hand inside his shirt. The common explanation went along these lines:
“Many theories have been presented as to why Napoleon is traditionally depicted with his hand in his waistcoat. Some of these theories include: he had a stomach ulcer, he was winding his watch, he had an itchy skin disease, in his era it was impolite to put your hands in your pockets, he had breast cancer, he had a deformed hand, he kept a perfumed sachet in his vest that he’d sniff surreptitiously, and that painters don’t like to paint hands”
-Tom Holmberg
Unless all the individuals discussed in this article had stomach ulcer or deformed hands, the gesture of hiding one’s hand simply has to have a specific meaning. It does. Most of the people using this sign are proven (and often enthusiastic) members of the Freemasons. Considering the great importance of this gesture in Masonic rituals and the fact that all of the elite were either part of Freemasonry or knew of it, it is simply impossible that the recurrence of this sign could be the result of a coincidence. The “hidden hand” can, in fact, be found in the rituals of the Royal Arch Degree of Freemasonry and the world leaders that use this sign are subtly saying to other initiates of the order: “This is what I’m part of, this is what I believe in and this is what I’m working for”.
The Royal Arch Degree
- The Triple Tau
The Royal Arch Degree (the 13th degree of the Scottish Rite or the 7th degree of the York Rite) is also known as the Mason of the Secret. During this Degree, initiates are said to receive great Masonic truths.
“The members of this Degree are denominated companions, and are “entitled to a full explanation of the mysteries of the Order”; whereas in the former Degrees they are recognized by the common, familiar appellation of brothers, and kept in a state of profound ignorance of the sublime secret which is disclosed in this Chapter. This accords with the custom of Pythagoras, who thus distinguished his pupils. After a probation of five years, as stated before, they were admitted into the presence of the preceptor, called his companions, and permitted to converse with him freely. Previous to the expiration of that term he delivered his instructions to them from behind a screen”
-John Fellows, Fellows’s Inquiry into the Origin, History, and Purport of Freemasonry
“If we pass on to the Royal Arch, we receive a wonderful accession of knowledge, and find every thing made perfect; for this is the nec plus ultra of Masonry, and can never be exceeded by any human institution.”
-George Oliver, Lectures on Freemasonry
It is during this degree that the initiate learns the sacred name of God.
“A Degree indescribably more august, sublime, and important than any which precede it, and is, in fact, the summit and perfection of ancient Masonry. It impresses upon our minds a belief in the being of a God, without beginning of days or end of years, the great and incomprehensible Alpha and Omega, and reminds us of the reverence which is due to His Holy NAME.”
-George Oliver, Historical Landmarks
This holy name is Jahbulon, a combination of words meaning “god” in Syriac, Chaldaic and Egyptian.
“JEHOVAH. Of the varieties of this sacred name in use among the different nations of the earth, three particularly merit the attention of Royal Arch Masons:
1. JAH. This name of God is found in the 68th Psalm, v. 4.
2. BAAL OR BEL. This word signifies a lord, master, or possessor, and hence it was applied by many of the nations of the East to denote the Lord of all things, and the Master of the world.
3. ON. This was the name by which JEHOVAH was worshiped among the Egyptians.”
-Malcolm C. Duncan, Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor
The initiation ritual to this degree re-enacts the return to Jerusalem of three Most Excellent Masons who were held captive in Babylon. I won’t go through the whole ceremony and symbolism but at one point, the initiate is asked to learn a secret password and a hand sign in order to go through a series of veils. The following image depicts the hand sign required to go through the second veil, as documented in Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor:
“Master of Second Veil: “Three Most Excellent Masters you must have been, or thus far you could not have come; but farther you cannot go without my words, sign, and word of exhortation. My words are Shem, Japhet, and Adoniram; my sign is this: (thrusting his hand in his bosom); it is in imitation of one given by God to Moses, when He commanded him to thrust his hand into his bosom, and, taking it out, it became as leprous as snow. My word of exhortation is explanatory of this sign, and is found in the writings of Moses, viz., fourth chapter of Exodus”:
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow”
-Malcolm C. Duncan, Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor
As stated above, this hand gesture is said to be inspired by Exodus 4:6. In this biblical verse, the heart (“bosom”) stands for what we are, the hand for what we do. It can thus be interpreted as : What we are is what we ultimately do. The symbolic significance of this gesture might explain the reason why it is so widely used by famous Masons. The hidden hand lets the other initiates know that the individual depicted is part of this secret Brotherhood and that his actions were inspired by the Masonic philosophy and beliefs. Furthermore, the hand that executes the actions is hidden behind cloth, which can symbolically refer to covert nature of the Mason’s actions. Here are some of the famous men who used this hand signal.
Napoleon Bonaparte
- Napoleon, a known Mason in his study at the Tuileries, 1812
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was a military and political leader of France whose actions shaped European politics in the early 19th century. He was initiated into Army Philadelphe Lodge in 1798. His brothers, Joseph, Lucian, Louis and Jerome, were also Freemasons. Five of the six members of Napoleon’s Grand Councel of the Empire were Freemasons, as were six of the nine Imperial Officers and 22 of the 30 Marshals of France. Bonaparte’s association with Masonry has always been played down in historical records. Masonic researcher J.E.S. Tuckett addresses the situation:
“It is strange that evidence in favor of the Great Napoleon’s membership of the Masonic Brotherhood has never been examined in detail, for the matter is surely one of interest, and – seeing the remarkable part that remarkable men played in the affairs of Europe, at a time when Continental Freemasonry was struggling out of chaos into regular order – it cannot be without an important bearing upon Masonic history”
In his essay on Napoleon and Masonry, Tuckett claims:
“There is incontestable evidence that Napoleon was acquainted with the nature, aims and organization of Freemasonry: that he approved of and made use of it to further his own ends”
-J.E.S. Tuckett, Napoleon I and Freemasonry (source)
Napoleon was also said to be aided by occult powers. In 1813 he was defeated at Leipzip and behind him was a “Cabinet of Curiosities” in which a Prussian officer discovered his Book of Fate and Oraculum. Originally this Oraculum was discovered in one of the Royal tombs of Egypt during a French military expedition of 1801. The emperor ordered the manuscript to be translated by a famous German scholar and antiquarian. From that time onward, the Oraculum was one of Napoleon’s most treasured possessions. He consulted it on many occasions and it is said to have “formed a stimulus to his most speculative and most successful enterprises.”
Karl Marx
Karl Marx is known today to be the founder of modern Communism. Despite being denied by some Masons, Marx is said to have been a 32nd degree Grand Orient Freemason. Marx became the spokesman of the atheist and socialist movement of Europe. He planned the replacement of monarchies with socialist republics, with the next step conversion to communist republics.
George Washington
George Washington was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and is considered to be the “most important American Mason”. Charles Willson Pealed produced this painting when Washington was 52 years old. Notice the position of Washington’s feet: they form an oblong square. The position of the feet are of utmost importance in Masonic symbolism. Compare this with this excerpt from Duncan’s Ritual Monitor:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is considered to be one of the most prolific and influential composers of music ever. He also was a Freemason and was initiated in the Austrian lodge Zur Zur Wohltatigkeit on Dec. 14th 1784. Mozart’s creations often incorporated important Masonic elements. The Magic Flute opera was mainly based on Masonic principles.
“The music of the Freemasons contained musical phrases and forms that held specific semiotic meanings. For example, the Masonic initiation ceremony began with the candidate knocking three times at the door to ask admittance. This is expressed musically as a dotted figure: meanings. For example, the
This figure appears in Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute in the overture, suggesting the opening of the Masonic initiation.”
- Katherine Thompson, The Masonic Thread in Mozart
The musical progression of The Magic Flute was based on the Golden Ratio (1,6180…), the proportion of everything that is considered divine by Mystery Schools.
Here are compositions created by Mozart for use in Masonic lodges:
- Lied (song) “Gesellenreise, for use at installation of new journeymen”
- Cantata for tenor and male chorus Die Maurerfreude (“The Mason’s Joy”)
- The Masonic Funeral Music (Maurerische Trauermusik)
- Two songs to celebrate the opening of “Zur Neugekrönten Hoffnung”
- Cantata for tenor and piano, Die ihr die unermesslichen Weltalls Schöpfer ehrt
- The Little Masonic Cantata (Kleine Freimaurer-Kantate) entitled Laut verkünde unsre Freude, for soloists, male chorus, and orchestra
Marquis de Lafayette
Marquis de Lafayette was a 33rd degree Freemason. According to Willam R. Denslow’s 10,000 Famous Freemasons, Lafayette was a French military officer who was a general in the American Revolutionary War and a leader of the Garde Nationale during the bloody French Revolution. Lafayette was also made an honorary Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of New York. More than 75 Masonic bodies in the U.S. have been named after him, including 39 lodges, 18 chapters, 4 councils, 4 commanderies, and 7 Scottish rite bodies.
Salomon Rothschild
Salomon Rothschild was the founder of the Viennese branch of the prominent Mayer Amschel Rothschild family. The most powerful family in the world has greatly influenced the policies of Germany, France, Italy and Austria. The Rothschilds are also the main players behind the creation of Zionism and the state of Israel.
The power of the Rothschilds went way beyond the confines of the Masonic lodge. They are said to be part of the 13 “Illuminati Bloodlines”. An analysis of the recently built Supreme Court of Israel (see article here) confirms the Rothschild’s embrace of Masonic symbolism.
Simon Bolivar
Known as “El Libertador” (the Liberator), Bolivar is considered to be the “George Washington of South America”. He joined Freemasonry in Cadiz, Spain, received the Scottish Rite degrees in Paris and was knighted in a Commandery of Knights Templar in France in 1807. Bolivar founded and served as master of Protectora de las Vertudes Lodge No. 1 in Venezuela. The country of Bolivia is named after him. Bolivar also served as the president of Columbia, Peru and Bolivia in the 1820’s. He belonged to the Order and Liberty Lodge No. 2 in Peru.
Notice in the image above the position of his feet (oblong square) and the checkerboard pattern of the floor, also Masonic. His stance might have been inspired by the Knights of Christian Mark Degree as depicted below in Richardson’s Monitor of Freemasonry:
Joseph Stalin
Stalin’s reign of terror in the Soviet Union lead to the deaths of millions of his own countrymen. He is often shown in pictures using the hidden hand gesture. No official records have been found that prove Stalin’s initiation into Masonry. Of course, dictators such as Stalin tightly controlled all information concerning themselves and their affairs, making it difficult to prove anything one way or the other. The hiding of his hand, however, provides an initiate’s clue to his possible allegiance to an occult brotherhood.
After being shot in 1940, the young man on the right has been
edited out by Stalin’s people.
In Conclusion
As seen above, thee leaders using the “hidden hand” gesture had a great influence on world history and many were confirmed Masons. This gesture is an obvious yet widely overlooked detail which hints at the leader’s embrace of occult philosophy. By understanding this fact and by recognizing the IMMENSE influence these leaders had on the course of History, we can begin to realize the hidden force which is currently steering the world toward international democracy.
Members of these brotherhoods might have maintained different opinions and even adhered to different factions (communism vs. capitalism), but the fundamental philosophy, beliefs and ultimate goals are still the same: the coming of an “Age of Reason and Enlightenment”. Of course, any serious researcher is already aware of the role of Masonry in the unfolding of world history. The “hidden hand” gesture, so often used by historical figures is simply the outward expression of this little known fact. As Confucius said, “Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.” These people’s words and policies will eventually be twisted and forgotten, but their image will remain for the ages.
why was the young man in the picture of stalin pulled out of the picture ?
Very interesting article. I wish we could know all the missing links in human history. Perhaps one day we will as long as people are willing to dig for the truth. Thanks for the lesson in history I’m sure I would not have learned that in school.

Excellent article.
Good post as usual. Me and my friends were wondering why Martin Lawrence did that particular hand gesture at 6:55 of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DREa8beT_mI.
Can you please do an article soon about blood sacrifices though??? I found it odd that Eminem would depict his friend Proof dying in one of his videos (“Toy Soldiers”) a full 2 years before he actually died. And the list of celebs whose fame exponentially increases shortly after the death of someone close to them (Kanye’s mom, Diddy with Biggie, Fat Joe with Pun etc.) is hard to dismiss. It could be that these are all tragic coincidences … but there’s a long history of human and blood sacrifices when dealing in Satanic ritual … which many of these celebs seem to be practitioners of. Here’s a series which mentions others … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPfSFhg_vGQ&feature=related.
Thanx for all the time YOU’VE sacrificed in efforts to enlighten us. Keep it up, your work is not in vain.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0scUdgVIg4
Wow. I am floored, I wonder if this is the same “Invisible hand” that supposedly controls supply/demand dynamics in Economics. Afterall Adam Smith (the founder of modern economic theory) is rumored to have been a Mason as well. EXCELLENT JOB.

Many thanks for your meticulous research and vast compilation of material….the articles on

could you enlighten me a bit about the specific history of the Scottish Rite Temple in San Diego, CA? (off of Hotel Circle on the 8 Freeway towards Ocean Beach)
I was there for approx. 3 days for a conference in May 2007 and became severely ill…I know the energy of the particular

can somebody tell me why most world leaders are Freemasons. This is serious.
You forgot that all Masons are reptilian shape-shifters and rule the earth and in 2012 they will reveal themselves and make all humanity slaves. Its because of idiots like you that nothing on the Internet can be believed.
kayode – Most world leaders are Freemasons because Freemasonry produces and only the finest men, men of virtue and intelligence. Men who can think and are tolerant of other ideas. Who hold liberty and tolerance and charity sacred. We need more Freemason leaders now more than ever, because the world has gone to the dogs and liberalism has won the day. Children and criminal run amok. We could use another George Washington, Teddy or Franklin Roosevelt about now. Freemasons are men of conviction and high moral standards. Read the US constitution or the Declaration of Independence, their hand is all over it and these documents are woven into the very fabric of our society and are the very foundation of this great nation and republic. We have strayed from the principals of the Founding Fathers and need to look back to look forward.
Great Work, Thanks
I’ve seen more portraits with that gesture -the LACMA museum in LA has some- I just dont know the names of the people in them and as a result ,where to look on the internet for them. Some vigilant commenters should help me scour the net for more of these portraits cause I know there out there.
Okay I’ve found Civil War Generals McClellan and Anderson both doing what their respective websites call “The Napoleonic Pose”. I wonder if there are earlier examples of this than him.

Wouldn’t be surprised if both sides in that war had not only profiteers but also conspirators at hand.
Good read. Very informative.
This is a good evidence that they are around the world
Wow, I was a little frustrated with waiting so long, but, once again you come through with a great article. I only wish they would come faster. I’m sure everyone feels the same, thank you for taking the time to research these subjects on your own and sharing your findings with all of us.
from a,
Vigilant~reader!!
Excellent, very observant!
Very interesting stuff. One thing I’ve always wondered is whether or not Masonry has always been a united front. For example, I have read that Adam Weishaupt’s original intent with his Illuminati was to penetrate and then subvert the ideology of Masonic lodges. Bolivar is a remarkable figure and admired Napoleon, whom he met in person before vowing on a mountain not to rest until South America was free of Spanish tyranny. Bolivar eventually distanced himself from Napoleon because he felt he had betrayed Republican principles.
Turning to Stalin it is known that he was educated by Jesuits, meaning he was raised as a Catholic in Georgia – I believe he was groomed to be a priest when he was young. Perhaps he was a mason or became associated with some kind other lodge structure through the Jesuits?
Going back to Napoleon, it was he who humiliated the Knights of Malta by sailing into their port on the fortified isle and then deploying his soldiers from the boat to seize the island. For many years the Knights had launched slave raids on Muslim shipping and Knights of Malta occupy many high government positions today, especially in the USA. Much has also been made of Napoleons approach to the Jewish community in Europe, it is hotly debated what his intent really was in forcing Jews to assimilate and adopt surnames (as opposed to the Asiatic “ben so-and-so” meaning son of just like the Arab “bin.”) Was Napoleon a friend of the Jews or was he trying to force them to assimilate for his own reasons? Perhaps he tried to play both sides and that is why he ended up in exile on St.Helena? I also recall reading some correspondence from Washington regarding Jacobinism, if I recall he did not like it at all and felt it was a perversion of Masonry, stating as such as well as stating that he did not feel it had yet penetrated American lodges.
One thing you didn’t mention is masons in the Third Reich. Officially Hitler’s Reich had anti-masonic policies, but it has been asserted by many that in the inner circle there was not only at least one Mason of the Turkish lodge but that the SS itself was an occult organization that may have evolved from a pre-existing lodge structure that helped organize the Nazi party in the first place. Personally I think that whatever Freemasonry is, many of its adherents have been duped and then discarded like the useful idiots they were.
I guess the point I’m trying to get at by listing these facts is that Masonry really is a mystery. Should we distrust men like Hugo Chavez and Vladimir Putin because of their connection to these individuals? Putin’s grandfather was Stalin’s trusted personal chef and Hugo Chavez is a devotee of Bolivar – yet they are both righteous men, I do not doubt this. Some believe in an overarching conspiracy that truly encompasses all international capitals, I certainly do not. This kind of piece can reinforce those notions that I don’t agree with but I urge everyone to take this piece and really use it to look beneath the surface. Perhaps I am wrong, but perhaps there is some great untold story of a schism within Masonry.
Keep up the good work.
The “hidden hand”, according to the unknown Danish world-teacher MARTINUS (1890-1981) , in his pantheist view – meant for “humane materialists”, would be the Godhead (“X1,X2, X3″). There is, indeed, not the slightest coincidence whatsoever in the whole cosmos, nor in the evolution of our species on this living planet – our macrocosmos. So nothing wrong about freemasons, also evildoers are picked by Providence to fulfill their mission of showing the “unpleasant good”, contrast to the “pleasant good”. Per aspera ad astra. Check also my site “Mathildenhoehe.org”. WE are all part of the “hidden hand” – be the change you want to see ! So, no excuses !
To answer Vanessa’s question from the first comment – it was common practice in the Soviet Union to erase all photographic evidence of the existence of ranking party members who had been deemed traitors. This way future treachery was theoretically discouraged. The same thing was done to photos featuring Leon Trotsky when Stalin came to power. Interestingly Trotsky was of course, Jewish, and Stalin would ally himself with the Third Reich (until Hitler betrayed him) and later he became quite paranoid that Jews were trying to kill him. He eventually died of a “stroke” in the midst of claims by his government of a “Doctor’s Plot” where Jewish doctors would poison leading gentile Soviet leaders. Stalin attempted to create an alternative Jewish homeland to Israel in western Siberia called Birobidzhan and it was largely ignored in favor of Israel, he came to believe that the many Jewish communists in the Soviet Union were “rootless cosmopolitans” who put their blood/religious loyalty (in other words loyalty to Western Jews and Israel) before loyalty to the Soviet system. He probably killed many innocent people along the way pursuing this line of reasoning, but he was probably onto something in the case of Trotsky and later the Jewish Anti Fascist Committee. If Stalin was a mason or some such thing, then it is quite possible he outlived his usefulness as Napoleon did after power took hold and he got ideas of his own. I believe that Stalin was indeed assassinated, possibly by his lieutenant Beria ( who was very close to some of the Jews Stalin had purged).
1st comment .woo hoo
however. i am happy you brought this up, but this is not relevant to society to be honest.
its useful though
can i ask you carry on doing thins like music. etc jay-z rihanna kanye lady gaga jim jones
also stuff like stephen gatelys & micheal jacksons death. as these are linked to masonry and satanists.
also the wizard of oz review was honestly pointless as it doesnt relate to society and our lives as it is not a part of live animre. it is just a film.
im not being mean, i am just giving honest constructive critisism, as lately your site has become rather slacking as when the music posts were coming in, it was interesting as it is what is effecting us in modern life.
kind regards
HONEST CRITISISM
Al Bundy used the hidden hand also.
Nice Work!! Just to reply to the first poster, Stalin had people edited out of photos if they “fell out” of favor with his regime..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_images_in_the_Soviet_Union
No offense, but you people seem to be grasping at straws, here. This article strongly suggests that the once-popular style of depicting leaders with their hands in tucked in their clothes is a thinly-veiled reference to the Masonic `hidden hand`.
Out of curiosity, did you ever stop to think that maybe it was an allegorical symbol of virility, to wit, of being ever ready to fight a manly battle? In the days before semi-automatic firearms, tanks, armored vehicles, and warplanes; knights, cavalrymen, and dragoons often had to fight at a whim with a sword –or more rarely, a pistol– to defend the honor of a woman, their kindred, or their country. Since 8 out of 9 men are right handed, it only follows logic that they used their right hands to operate their sidearms.
Perhaps in antiquity, an emboldened, virile man often kept his dominant hand tucked in his clothes so as to keep it warm, and ready to grasp his sidearm at a moment’s notice. If so, would it not stand fitting for a general or commander-in-chief to be depicted in artwork in such a pose? We (in the 21st century) are far removed from highwaymen, open sewers, and mad horses on our roads. Even so, it remains a gentlemanly act for the boy to walk up the street with the girl at his right.
While it is true that freemasons have developed a secret code of gestures and slangs (to avoid persecution, not to conspire, I might add) the theories proposed in this article strike me as somewhat spurious.
all american founding fathers are freemasons and they are also member of illuminati…
lodge of twelve muses is where Ben Franklin did his “things”
Lenin, Stalin, Churchil, Roosevelt are freemasons~~
Thanks for fleshing out what I had assumed. Freemasonry is Luciferianism, period!
The “Young man” standing next to Stalin was Nikolai Ivanovich Yezhov the former leader of the NKVD. He too eagerly took part in mass murder, but the media generally overlooks and under reports the crimes of the Soviets.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Yezhov
This gesture originated from “taking heart”, the Cro-Magnon Warrior practice of stealing the Lifeforce of captive enemies, such as the “Snow Leopards”, Neanderthals who were victims of a genocide. But their legacy was hybridized into the three Atlantean races of ensoled humans. These “Spotted Leopards” were likewise hunted but a hidden agenda bred Warriors with captive ensouled women to produce the “uber” humans:Nobles, Workers, and Artisans. The hidden hand indicates that secret soul-snatching whereby Soul became subjected to a power hierarchy domainated by violence and ambition. The “damned spot” is Soul/Conscience, a hidden treasure X’d out by Jehovah/Yaweh, a name meaning “Buryer of Soul”, and his “veils” mean crafted deceptions.
The Triple Tau, for example, should be inverted.
now that was very interesting thank you
great insight.
thanx
hmm,, this is such a sad world we live in!!
honestly y cant sum ppl believe this?
i would seriously urge people to watch “The Arrivals” on youtube. There are many parts but trust me they are worth your time.
And for the guy who has made this website, thank you very very very much! This site has educated me very much!I have found out about things which I would never have thought about in million years!
So thank you x100000 !
oh yeah before i forget could you do an article about britney spears song ‘3′, i dont know why but it sound like it has dark messages, esp the part when she says “Aaaare you in, living in sin is the new thing”, hmm!.. and rihanna’s new song-russian roulette!
Thank You !
RE: Washington’s image
Compatriot reflects foot symbol in responce to “hidden hand”
Right leg over left leg = discovery or, more accuratly, Eureka (I found what I am searching for).
Left leg over right leg symbols searching.
Templars’ buried their knights with right leg over left ( to signify discovery of Heaven?)
However, the ankle is turned over the left foot. Variance significant.
Note all three were sashes to left side with swords-left in nonbattle position.
Could it be that their goal of world domination is so near that they are confident enough to flash the sign openly today in a celebratory manor,i.e. the thumb depressing the ring and middle fingers while the index and little fingers are pointing straight out.I’ve noticed this being used by those in high positions around the globe.
(I hope “they” don’t assassinate me for calling attention to it.)
it’s weird how people want to try and dictate what vigilant citizen writes next. why do you think you can force the topic of the next article? do you pay him/her? do you dictate his/her time? is this a create freedom website? do fans dictate what a popstar will write next, or what an artist will paint? does a reader dictate what will be in the newspaper or magazine? not very often. interest lies in the surprise. let vigilant citizen lead us where his creative uncovering will. and don’t be so boring as to try and dictate the next turn – unless you are paying of it!
There is a much simpler explanation. All the images were painted before concealled weapons laws.
“There is a much simpler explanation. All the images were painted before concealled weapons laws.”
Sure buddy, that’s a good one, lol.
“[...]Steering the world towards international democracy.” The United Nations Democracy? Democracy is a fallacy perpetrated by the “invisible hand” government, for it does not matter on who we vote they are always in power, but now Obama has already signed his country away into the socialist/communist totalitarian Bolshevik rule. The American Constitution has lost power to the United Nations Constitution.
At first, I laughed off this article, because there are 5 million freemaons worldwide. But then, I re-examined the symbol. It is certainly distinct. It’s not a natural place to put your hand.
The question is: WHY do they need to tell us? Surely there’s something even more occult about this than just “telling us hidden in plain view”. Researchers such as Texe Marrs say that it’s just arrogance, because they love the idea of scamming you in the open.
Again, I would suggest it’s something far more advanced. Just my opinion.
Another great article, as always. Thank you
Your knowledge on these matters impress me.

Excellent article!
this is very intriguing. Having been raised in a family of Eastern Stars and Mason’s I can say that everything you speak of on your site is accurate.
Interesting as always, I can´t believe that nobody has commented yet
Yup,we know….NWO is juz around the corner……
Only and ONLY Jesus can save you from those fearful times I’m telling you right now….
You can NEVER EVER stand up for what u believe in only on your own strength. They’ll try to kill you and hunt u down like some kind of wild beast…….it’s all prophesied already in the Bible.
OH! How people nowadays are so blinded by sin!!!
well am suprised and not also suprised…but to tell u the truth they can go and die for all i care…but seriously these freemason has actually been ruling us one way or the other making history…in my opinion WE th normal people ARE DOOOOMED!!!!………………………
excellent article brother.
Good post as usual. Me and my friends were wondering why Martin Lawrence did that particular hand gesture at 6:55 of this youtube video “Blk Masonic-3/The Finale”.
Can you please do an article soon about blood sacrifices though??? I found it odd that Eminem would depict his friend Proof dying in one of his videos (”Toy Soldiers”) a full 2 years before he actually died. And the list of celebs whose fame exponentially increases shortly after the death of someone close to them (Kanye’s mom, Diddy with Biggie, Fat Joe with Pun etc.) is hard to dismiss. It could be that these are all tragic coincidences … but there’s a long history of human and blood sacrifices when dealing in Satanic ritual … which many of these celebs seem to be practitioners of. A series that mentions others is the “Industry Exposed series”.
Thanx for all the time YOU’VE sacrificed in efforts to enlighten us. Keep it up, your work is not in vain.
Dear Vigilant,
Thank you for this wonderful article! A little precision to the very last couple of photos: the “young man”, executed in 1940, was the head of the NKVD (Soviet secret police) Nikolai Yezhov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Yezhov).
All and only the very best!

After viewing that portrait of Stalin, I am convinced that if you look very closely at his “hidden hand”, you will see the out line of a pistol that he’s holding.
hi on the nepoleion picture owls om the red seat problley magog…left side of fire place bottom masonic tiles, face on table leg looks more like satan than a lion i think its suppose to represent a lion ,,,still looking for more .
Who cares if their image remains for the ages, if they are dead. Should one feel better about oneself, if he/she has been directly responsible for the deaths of 20 million people? These people are not GREAT! They are the SCUM of the earth!
Ok, Washington, Mozart, and the Lafayette were not the scum of the Earth ~ but the REST of them? OH, YEAH.
Ok, George Washington, Mozart, and Gen. Lafayette are NOT the scum of the Earth. But, the REST of them? OH, YEAH…
Excellent article, amazing how blatant they are…
nice article, but have flaws. you said things that seem to be trhut, but, without a link to any book or anithing at al that comproves what you are saying.
and by that seems a conspiracy with no base.
thanks for your time.
It’s all about money, power, and glory. – ‘the vanity of vanities’ that ends in disgrace and nothingness, … not to mention THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD against all such wickedness.
Carnal Man will never learn. … precisely why he needs A SAVIOUR to rescue him from himself and those who are determined to exploit & manipulate him.
* 2 Cor. 5:17-21 *
THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO HIDDEN HANDS of History:
* The lesser: the hidden hand of satan/lucifer: “the god of this world.”
and
* THE GREATER HAND [and Will] of YAHWEH-YAHOVAH, – The GOD and Creator of Everything GOOD and the Source and Center of ALL MORAL LAW and Relationships.
which side you CHOOSE determines your ultimate destiny.
Selah.
See this guy’s hand gesture and his attitute toward my questioning the role of a Masonic property with a single tree in the middle of a field blocking DC I-95:

What sort of hand gesture this that?
Prince Charles!
Quite interesting again…can’t wait for more good work from you. Keep up the good work!!!
Is there a reason why George Washington’s left hand is hidden, and not his right?
my question is stll not answered,..why was the young man in the picture of stalin pulled out of the picture ?
“It’s not who I am underneath, but what I *do* that defines me.” (Batman Begins)
why do americans put their hand on their chest when the pledge of alligeance is being playing?? Is this part of a freemason thing?
very interesting indeed!
agree wit john!!!
As much as the article was interesting, I see know talk of the change in the hand that’s used. Why do some images have the right hand hidden, and others the left? I’m not a mason, or member of any society, but I have rested my right hand in my jacket/coat/suit before, mainly cuz it was relaxing, it was cold, and I didn’t want both hands in my pocket. I think it was also to do with the way each top was made. You can’t put ur left hand inside if the left half of ur top laps over the right. Well, u can, it’s just more uncomfortable. -sigh-
You need to put up a bibliography of all the sources from which you pull your “research.”
As for the hand positioning that you call gestures – I cannot recall 100%, but I remember in an art class, I was told that because painting of these old portraits and even in the early days of photography, that men AND women would often rest one of their hands just inside the lapel of their shirts or coats as to ease the discomfort from sitting in the same position for such prolonged periods of time.
Especially with the paintings, imagine how long it would take the artist to correctly and precisely render the shape and position of who they were drawing? Anyway, this is the explanation that I was given as an art student and I find it much more feasible than your conspiracy theories.
On the subject of hidden hand, I have read somethings on the web about the Law of One and Ra Channelings. I also read a thread on a conspiracy website called ATS “Window of oportunity” where someone with the name Hidden Hand created a thread and people ate it right up. Is this Law of One the new masonic religion I have heard about or is it completely unrelated? It is very enticing but full of terrible justifications like; we do this because we love you tripe, all paths lead to the One, good and bad is all the same, evil was brought to earth to create a catalyst, blah blah. I wish you could do a piece on this subject of the Ra channelings because you seem to grasp symbolism much better than I could. I am also too right-brained for this sort of thing.
Left Hand hidden signifies Left Kabbalist Path after the 5-6 Tipharoth level. Crowley and JPL Jack Parsons for example. Mene Tekel asked about Supply/Demand Its on display with Swine Flu Vaccines which were patented before the disease. Interesting is that 2160 years ago the Aramaean King (Shem’s 5th son was Aram) sacrificed a pig on the altar which was cleansed on Christmas “Sol Invictus” and now we have teh Aramaeean President Obama (a Nabbataean Arab) presiding over WHO Pandenic 6 Swine Flu manufactured by Nazi labs Novartis and GSK. A question was asked about the Temple in San Diego. The Rosucrucian HQ is shared by Mt Ekklesia in San Diego and AMORC in San Jose decorated as an Egyptian Temple. America is about to be a Scape Goat Babylon because we are blind to Mene, Tekel, Peres. Debt, Wanting, Divided and given to Medes and Persians. Everything the Society of Ormus did will unite on 12/21/2012 so we better wake up by then. Theresnothingnew.org.
Could the “hidden hand” be a perverted display of the scripture Exodus 4:6,7 where Moses was instructed by God to put his hand in his bosom?
@ Bill
The knowledge that these Satanic men spread through books is from the pits of hell. There is a God in Heaven. He will judge that serpent, Jahbulon and all his wicked principalities no matter how highly placed or influential they are.
If you are in, my loving advice to you is get out while you can. There is one more terrible than Jahbulon. He doesn’t take prisoners as we shall all find out on the day of Judgement.
Excellent post as usual
Very informative
Things we would never be taught by our parents
or in school
The young man must have fallen out of favour, hence his removal from the picture after being shot. Georg Orwell explains this in his novel 1984.
Thnak you Carlos for your suggestion about ‘Hidden Hand’ (the Harvest’) and the ‘this article. I too would like to find someone to expand upon this bewildering and sickening idea, that we must commit more evil ‘for our own good’ or some such rubbish. As you say, the HH is a master deceiver and has almost everyone believing him at the end of the discourse. I may have misunderstood too, but ‘Ra’ in ‘Ra Material’ also seems to reverse the notion of good and evil: He says that Alex Crowley and Hitler were good people (I cannot remember exact words), and other things that, according to the moral values we have, seem completely bizarre. In fact, the communication that came from him and his exchange with the members of the Above Top Secret Forum was a landmark in the progress of human consciousness, yet hardly anyone said anything about it afterwards (HH’s possible origins, the Luciferian values, etc)

Good article.
It nice to see so many famous people found the light. I am also working toward enlightenment and maybe one of these days you might blog about me….
The reason behind some recieving fame after someone close to them dies is because they are all required to perform a sacrifice. Bil Cosby to his son. Diddy to Biggie…. there is a list.

What–and standing around with *one arm in your coat* like that FOR HOURS ON ENED WHILE YOUR PORTRAIT IS BEING PAINTED is somehow supposed to be “more comfortable” than standing in 2897237383172 other poses FOR HOURS ON END WHILE YOUR PORTRAIT IS BEING PAINTED?!
This explanation is ridiculous. Perhaps you should learn to ask questions instead of blindly accepting what people tell you as the be all and end all of the universe. You are blissfully blind and a perfect “student” of the governmental education system. You are exactly what they want. Open your eyes.

See Horace De Gunzberg hiding his hand on a photo on http://cliffordshack.com/oil_chrono.html
Makes me wonder how many old photos have been “remastered” as well as that one. It would be very hard to discern any editing if one had not seen the first image.
the little fellow beside stalin is nkvd chief yezhov who lasted only a short while before being offed by lavarenti beria

10:04 fast forward to this part when he talks ab tests to ‘pull the trigger’
reminds me of rihannas video Russian roulette
and Jason Bourne movie where he has to pull trigger after experiments.
Please tell me what you think!
P.s the video is about MIND CONTROL
This all could be coincedence though. It is highly regarded as a sign of high class. Romans would make statues with this hand gesture, and painters tried to match that look of exquisite beauty. I think this article is way off the mark this time.
is this an old outdated sign or why doesn’t it appear on the new masons photos anymore-or does it?
Good for the European Monarchies. Good for the Illuminati. Good for the New World Order.
why was the young man on stalin’s left edited out….is the young man of great symbolism?..
what if the hand gesture is simply a ‘pose’ for those times..same way the peace sign(two fingures) is commonly used in this age and era when posing for photos?
To all my Christians reading this post; do not concern yourselves with things of this passing world. Be separate from it and hold firm to your faith and the truth and grace that abide in you. Once you learn to control your tongue and master your own sinful desires that wage war against your spirit, you will be able to overcome the evil that seeks to defile you with its tainted fruit. ALL of the entertainment industry, not limited to movies, music, radio, and books is controlled by deprived perverted men and women who worship SATAN and serve him willingly. Do not defile yourselves with this cleverly and at times subtlety concealed witchcraft. Do not believe all the hyped up monarch programming and such as it is nothing more than a state of demon possession. The TRUTH is simple, every single one of the people you may or may not recognize as evil has willingly entered into a state of possession and once that happens they are no longer able to control their thoughts, words, or deeds. That is what possession is all about, i.e., not being able to control your urges and in essence not being in control of your own self. Put your trust in the Lord and He will keep you safe, and remember that to you has been given the power to trample over snakes.
Well as for the hand in the coat bit, how do I put this….
Hands are pretty hard to draw…
I mean, we could pony up the money for an artist capable of drawing hands,
(since we have all the money LOL)
But you don’t get rich by spending money do you?
Seriously though, have you considered taking note of what’s playing on the television right now?
Go on, turn it on.
We’ll be right there in front of you =)

Eye opening, but not surprising. What is really remarkable about about 2012 – end times prophesy is that people are not really aware of the whole significance of what is going on in our would today. Everyone has a piece of connecting thread but not seeing the entire fabric. Some talk of Illuminati plots and free mason dictators and are not linking everything as one. All are just a piece of the picture, the ascension of lucifer. What is even more significant is the date december 21, 2012. If we research illuminati ( luciferian ) ….he doesn’t deserve the capital ‘l’……..numerology we see the number 3 as an important number in their plot especially when multiplied. For example 3 is evil 33 even more so and 333 being the mark of the beast ( multipled by 2 ) By extention 21/12/2012 refers to 3/3/3 which is undoubtedly his ascension to reign over the earth until our lord the saviour comes and shackles him for 1000 years in eternal fire and brimstone. Some scholars point to that not as the ‘end of days’ but as a date of significant change. The rise of a New World Order, which as we see are happening daily. Awake and open your eyes, do some research on the numerology and see for youself.
Have you ever considered that this hand sign is a symbol for “manly boldness tempered with modesty.” Made popular by Napoleon and copied by other (military) leaders who tried to accomplish the same thing Napolen wanted to do? Reshape the world….which doesn’t has to have to do with freemasonry
