I just received an e-mail in regards to some really wild salute of sorts, which many Obama supporters have been displaying at his rallies. I looked into the History of this symbol, and here is what I discovered [taken from e-mail]:


[MY Analysis]:


Does that hand-sign resemble this in your view?






THIS is the "Odal Rune", a Pagan symbol that was adopted by Die Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, AKA The National Socialist German Workers' Party {ie, NAZI Deutschen (NAZI Germans) }, and it represents the supposed unity amongst those of a Pure Race, Bloodline, or Group. So point in fact, it came to represent the National Socialist Movement (ie, NAZISM).

The Wiking Jugend (Viking Youth), used this symbol up until at least 1994. It was also an emblem worn upon the Uniforms of the 7th SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgs Abteilung Prinz Eugen (7th SS-Volunteer-Mountain Division Prince Eugen) during WWII. The "Prince Eugen" was also the name of a NAZI Admiral Hipper Class-Heavy Cruiser in use during WWII. (The "Prince Eugen" was seized by the United States Navy, stripped, and then scrapped during Atomic Bomb Testing in the Pacific). Bottom line, this is an SS Symbol.

[HERE is where the Original E-mail begins, as sent to me]:




The hands of the Führer organize his speech. This picture captures Hitler's hands as he speaks of the unity of the National Socialist and socialist ideas. See pics below of HITLER VS OBAMA

I don't see what youre seeing and plucky is tired.

It looks like, to me, the international symbol for vagina, at least the triangle ones.

I think this is a stretch. Oh, and the pic of the people in the crowd with them making the triangle symbol... I think that is Jay-Z's hand symbol as shown here www.mtv.com...

He got sued over it, which I didn't know. Anyway, I think Jay-Z endorsed Obama recently- maybe it was in reference to that. Not sure when that pic was taken.

I have never seen the round symbol as shown in the last pic. But it doesn't look like the Socialist pic to me.

And frankly if that e-mail had any shred of merit Faux News would have been all over it like white on rice.

Most lame attempt at associating Obama with Hitler I've ever seen.

The rune looks anything like the "diamond cutter"

The hand gesture is used in meditation.
Source (8)

It's used as a signature symbol for a professional wrestler. Source

It's used as a symbol for a rapper that recently got sued by said professional wrestler for infringement. Source

It was used in Star Trek. Source 1 and Source 2

The Sign of Progress graphic was designed by a creative agency that isn't associated with Obama that wanted to try and cash in on making a hand gesture that could be used at rallies. It's also obviously making an 'O' with the hands rather than the diamond in the other pictures. Source

In your picture it shows three people doing the hand gesture, and even if it was some horribly offensive Nazi salute, I don't see anyone else doing it, I don't see Obama doing it, I don't see five thousand people doing it in unison.

Also, how does Hitler = Obama when Obama isn't the one doing the hand gesture Hitler is doing? How can you associate Obama to Hitler when it's the crowd that is doing it?

Who knows what their motivation for throwing their hands up like that was, doubt it was because they were trying to remind people of an obscure propaganda photo of Hitler's hands.
