This item (below) was on page 7 of the (Australian) DAILY TELEGRAPH, October 28th, 2004, and we include it here to not only show Prime Minister Howard's classic Freemasonic handshake (which would have understandably infuriated obvious non-Freemason Mark Latham) but how the mainstream press is just starting to wake up, and is now increasingly making attempts like these to communicate to those of us who have already had the scales fall from our eyes. This is achieved by writing the prose in the slanted (in the favor of The Brotherhood) form demanded by Freemason editors, while highlighting the "secret' handshake. This "sailing close to the wind" provides cheap thrills for these sickos, and is how they win status in each others' eyes. Careful observation of the magnified insert will show that Mark Latham's thumb is in the conventional position. This is the way normal men traditionally shake hands, or fellow Freemason Bonesmen, when they chicken out in front of the cameras, as in the 3rd debate (directly below). Notice George's bulgy back?
George does NOT do masonic handshakes on TV.

Latham defend the handshake that branded him a bully
Shaken, rattled, rolled

DAILY TELEGRAPH,
October 28th, 2004
MARK Latham yesterday invoked the flapping arm defence to explain the most notorious handshake of the six-week election campaign.
The power grab took place in an ABC office just before the October 9 election, and cost Mr Latham votes. He had taken John Howard's offered hand and then advanced on its owner until they were almost nose to nose.
To many, Mr Latham was menacingly shirt-fronting the much smaller Mr Howard.
Yesterday the Labor Leader denied he was being overly aggressive - he was just trying to stop the Prime Minister flapping his arm.
'He has an unusual handshaking style," Mr Latham said.
"I've found with experience the easiest way to shake his hand is to get a bit closer rather than [allow] the flapping style he had been using earlier in the campaign. So I don't think there is any big deal in that." The encounter took place outside a studio doorway and Mr Latham said the area was crowded, which required him to get closer than usual.
"I came out of the studio and shook his hand. It was a crowded room and I can assure you the handshake from the other end was very vigorous and he was flapping around," he said. "I don't enjoy a handshake that is more an armshake. I think it should be a handshake and with Mr Howard, to avoid the flapping, you've got to get a bit closer to him."
Whatever the reason, it wasn't a pleasant scene and yesterday Liberal campaign director Brian Loughnane said he had received mote feedback about it than from any other campaign incident.
"People didn't know who Mark Latham was. They're still not entirely sure but they have significant reservations about him," Mr Loughnane told the National Press Club.
"I think the handshake was one of those things that encapsulated the doubts they had about him.
"I think it was one of those insights which occur that say something fundamental about the individual."
He said voters already were wary of the Labor Leader and that "what they did know of him did not fill them with confidence".
"Mr Latham came. to the leadership with a reputation for colourful and strong language which, while many people might use it themselves, they do not like to hear it from their leaders," Mr Loughnane said. "He had a reputation for abusing others - everyone from the US President to ALP colleagues and Liberal opponents."

Coming to grips THIS head-to-head moment between Mark Latham and John Howard the day before the October 9 election is credited with turning voters off the Labor leader. In his defence, Mr Latham yesterday denied the radio station stand-off was a show of aggression on his part. He suggested it was John Howard's weak handshake (inset) that drew him towards the PM. "I don't enjoy a handshake that is more an armshake-flapping style," Mr Latham said. "I think it should be a handshake."
Almost a year later, we get Mark Latham's explanation.
ANDREW DENTON: What happened with that handshake?
MARK LATHAM: Well I, I, look I think that was a bit a gee-up in terms of the, the Liberal guy saying that, he would say that of course, wouldn't he, and our polling showed that on the last night of the campaign if people looked at that my numbers went up actually rather than going down.
ANDREW DENTON: Your own campaign ...
MARK LATHAM: But but, but only after the election. It's part of the mythology where the winners get to write the history of what they think happened and they were spinning that out there that this was some terrible slur on my character. I suppose I was in a situation where there'd been a bit of background about these handshakes right through the election campaign.
ANDREW DENTON: Explain the background.
MARK LATHAM: Well the background was that at the start of the campaign Howard would come up and do this flappy handshake and I think it's, I don't want to mean any offence here but I think it was a little man's thing where ...
LAUGHTER
MARK LATHAM: ... They sort of try and, the little guy's putting the squeeze on to show that he can match it with the bigger guy in a physical sense. So you know, and at the start I thought it was quite amusing that this little man's going like this and trying to break my hand and squeeze as tight as he could, it was quite funny. It was funny up to the point where the Sunday before the election out at the St George Rugby League grand final lunch he did the same thing to my wife, and she turned to me and said, that that guy there just tried to break my hand, it really, really hurt...
LAUGHTER
MARK LATHAM: ...And she's like this after one of these flappy Howard handshakes with too much force. Well I thought well you know we're not going to have any more of that.
LAUGHTER
MARK LATHAM: If he wants to, wants to have a test of physical strength the next time I see him he might work it out that he shouldn't do that my wife.( Thanks to www.abc.net.au/enoughrope )

The below television screen-capture was gratefully received by gaiaguys from an anonymous supporter of the truth, and plainly shows THAT Freemasonic handshake from The Reverend Brother Howard again.
We don't know if the nameless voter pictured here was demonstrating yet another arcane and secret Freemasonic sign, or was merely caught at the moment of conducting "the Australian Salute", also known as, waving off the bloody flies, which are a feature of the warmer months of Australia, as anyone who has been here then knows all too well.

This one, below, has got to win the prize for mind-blowing!
Brother (now "Ex") President Saddam Hussein and Brother (now U.S. Secretary of Defense) Donald Rumsfeld!?
(Sorry about the terrible "screen capture", but you can still make out the position of Saddam's thumb.)
Many of you would have already seen this infamous meeting between these two Reverend Brothers which took place way, way back in the 1980s while The Butcher of Baghdad was still America's friend and employee against The Evil (Iranian) Ayatollah Khomeini.
But look again at Saddam's thumb! There it is, fellow "profane" ... that old familiar handshake of the cockroaches!
The Brother Inspector: I am willing to practice revenge against all traitors of the Freemasonry.
THE VERY SOVEREIGN: I must announce to you that the man may be someone that you know. Possibly even a friend of yours, with whom you may have very strong ties. In that case you must suppress all your fellow-feelings, to only keep the feelings of revenge.

"Wait a minute!", I hear you cry, "Surely ALL these men can't be Freemasons! What does a non-Freemason handshake look like anyway?"
I'm glad you asked. Believe it or not, Prince "talks-to-plants" Charles is NOT a Mason, in spite of the fact that his Mum is the head of them!
It was apparently a crushing blow to The Firm, mind you. Now you know why the corporate media ridicules him so much.
His elder son, Prince William also does not display masonic handshakes.
The expression, "like rats off a sinking ship" springs to mind.
No caption required.
Her Excellency Doctor Marie Bashir, the Governor of the state of New South Wales.
Interestingly, a quick search for images of Her Excellency (right, in photos below) shaking hands shows that she seems to be displaying what looks very much like the old master mason (formerly) secret handshake.
Is the Governor of our state of New South Wales a member of the Order of the Eastern Star (a.k.a. Lucifer)?
We think it would be an ironclad requirement of the position.

Don't they look like clones? Right sown to the same tie.
Note that the flag, which would have been an older model stored for such occasions, does not display the more recently common Freemasonic gold fringe?
Of course Russian President Putin gives Freemason handshakes.

Now virtual masonic handshakes!
An interesting news item in the Sydney Morning Herald illustrated with a master-mason grip
Virtual touch at our fingertips
Date: September 20 2007
Richard Gray SCIENTISTS have developed a means of shaking hands across continents. Using the internet, the new technology can transmit such properties as grip, movement, even skin texture - everything, in fact, but actual physical contact.
A device that allows computer users to "feel" things online means old friends thousands of kilometres apart could shake hands for the first time in years, a mother could soothe her child's troubled brow from miles away or even send a kiss via the web.
With the aid of tiny motors and pressure pads built into a glove, users can transmit information about the position of their fingers, strength of touch and even the feel of their skin.
Professor Alan Marshall, from the department of electrical-engineering at Queen's University, Belfast, who has been developing the "haptic" or touch technology, believes it will make using the internet a far more "complete" experience.
He tested a prototype of the technology by conducting a virtual handshake between one person in Belfast and another at BT's research laboratories in Ipswich.
The pair could see each other on their monitors and were able to feel their hands grasping, despite being more than 480 kilometres apart.
Marshall is now developing the technology so internet users will be able to "feel" their way around and even handle products while shopping online.
"Haptic devices give the illusion of actually being able to shake hands, or move an object like a cup around a screen while actually feeling what it is like," says Marshall.
He expected haptic devices to be common within about five years, perhaps even replacing the computer mouse.
