While its usually forgiveable that only applies when you make an attemt at some form of jesting that is in the least, amusing. your post wasnt amusing, it was boring and uninformative, it didnt give me any news that pertained to this belt buckle thing, you rationalize fashion and i think thats just you explaining away out of lack of awareness, i suggest you familiarize yourself with the tendencies of the free masons to have very important emphasis on subtleties within a bigger picture, not implying arnie is one, maybe hes a lackie, a wannabe? maybe your right, but its theeee most unlikely situation given that this is a times mag. shoot, who hes standing next to, and the fact that it just seems positioned just perfectly to catch your eye without revealing itself entirely....think friend think.

I also want to comment that the Skull and Crossbones doesn't mean he wants to be a Yale Bonesmen, or is pretending he one or anything like that. It could just as easily mean that he is a member of the German/Austrian secret society that Yale's Skull and Bones is just a chapter of. It also could be in reference to his father being a Nazi, or an allegiance to the Black Pope of the Jesuit Order. I guess it could also mean that he is a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean, but why fly your pirate flag while being photographed for Time? Seems weird.

Whats the big deal?
I have a transformers belt buckle, if I was on the cover of time magazine would that mean something?
I mean come on, if his belt buckle had some jpeg artifacts when zoomed in that said "the end is nigh!" then maybe this would be interesting... otherwise... meh..

Schwartzeneggar's father was a Nazi, and I believe ( I may be mistaken on this but I KNOW he was a nazi) that he was SS, therefor a death's head isn't that far fetched for him to have, it was common SS imagery.Not something I would advertise, but thats just me. [/quote
According to the USA Today article, Schwartzeneggar's father was a member of the Sturmabteilung, or SA. Not the Schutzstaffel (SS). The SS were originally Hitler's personal bodyguards and the SA were the Nazi Party's stormtroopers. If I am correct, Sturmabteilung is German for "Storm Divison" and Schutzstaffle is "Protective Squadron'.

You don't think the photographer saw this? The people who racapped the magazine & made sure it was okay to hit stores...you don't think they noticed this? If it was something to hide, bet your last penny they would have hid it. Some of you people really need to put more thought into what you are really thinking about.
WoW young grasshopper, thanks for setting us all straight.
Lets look at what you said.
"You don't think the photographer saw this?"
Ummm, yeah, I do think the photographer saw this.
"The people who racapped the magazine & made sure it was okay to hit stores...you don't think they noticed this?"
Ummm, yes again, I think they did notice it.
Seriously, who on this thread ever claimed that 'nobody noticed' the belt buckle? Its obvious that everybody knew the belt buckle was prominent in the picture. You appear to be the only one that is saying it was not noticed.
Where did you get the idea that the photographer and the editor didnt see it? Seriously, answer me that oh wise one.
"If it was something to hide, bet your last penny they would have hid it"
Its not something to hide silly rabbit, its something to stick in your face.
Again I ask, who claimed it was something to hide?
YOu need to read this....
www.nationalconcernedofficers.com...&_symbols.htm
Its a site by police officers documenting gang signs and symbols.
Most people drive right by graffiti and dont know that they are entering gang territory, but people that study these things can tell you, they are warnings hidden in plain sight.
Just because YOU dont understand the symbology or realize the implications does not mean they arent true.

I think I read most every post in this thread,
and I just have to add this:
What seems most important to me
is not that Arnold is wearing that belt buckle...
BUT THAT BLOOMBERG DOES AS WELL!!!
That connection is interesting to me.
How do I know?
The video 2 weeks ago posted here-
by the Brilliant Bros.
The video SHOWED he had the same belt buckle
as Arnold.
I think- if there IS some conspiracy (NWO, etc)
that those 2 belts aresome symbolism of it...
Maybe not Skull/Bones- but maybe Illuminati.
TPM
Hmmm right...
