This is a picture from the German book "Freimaurersignale in der Presse" or freemasonic signals in the press.
Don't believe me when I say that pointing the index is a masonic sign? Here are pictures from an old training manual used by freemasons, "Richardson's monitor of freemasonry" (Note: Richardson's monitor of freemasonry page 93 cleary states that pointing two fingers upward is the negative sign and one finger is the sign of approbation. However, the original drawing must have been damaged because the one finger is missing from the approbation sign. I have added this finger here.) 
Here are four photos that are obvious intentional poses. Otherwise how could the photograph frame the camera to capture the index finger just at the edge like that? Pointing the finger away from the body like that is known in occult circles as "the sign of faith" while pointing upward is the "sign of preservation". 
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. The two gentlemen at the bottom are two former grand master of the french grand orient order of freemasonry, Roger Leray and Alain Bauer
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 catholic priests still use today for the Mass but it is also used by freemasons as a sign of recognition
France's Sarkozy doing the masonic ok sign. Why is this gesture considered so important that it has to be published so often?
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 photograph...
China's Hu Jintao doing the masonic eyeglass grasp sign. Why would 3 different pro photographs 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...
trust the internet for alernative news? Think again! Here is Alex Jones pictured while doing the sign of praise and pointing at the camera while Jeff Rense does the "look above the glasses" masonic signal. However, it is also true that there are few picture of Jeff Rense available and this may be a only a coincidence. On the other hand, Alex Jones is often pictured doing many differents signs and these pictures are obvious intentional poses.
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)
