If you want to attribute meaning to one or the other, that's fine. But to label them as equivalent is irresponsible and ignorant. Actual occultists are QUITE specific about how their hand signs should be made, as there's usually a particular meaning associated with each gesture.

About Dr. Malachi York? Nuwaubian Masonry? Or anything to do with Prodigy's letter, or the people he wrote about, or are you the type of member that feels compelled to try to take their fellow members to task without contributing anything to the thread besides their?
Finally, York claims a space ship will arrive in 2003 to collect 144,000 true Nuwaubian Nation followers and take them to another planet. It won't be hard to find York: he will still be in jail serving a long term after pleading guilty to 40 counts of aggravated child molestation, 34 counts of child molestation, one count of sexual exploitation of children, and two counts of influencing witnesses. He received a 50-year prison sentence; he will be eligible for parole in approximately 12 years.
Then we agree that their inclusion did not strengthen your position. Good.

Fine, fine. Pick out that I included the Obama 'hand drawn' poster and compared it to photo of Kanye West. The reason that I included the last two images was because the rapper Prodigy mentions both Obama and JayZ in his letter. I apologize that I was not clearer in saying that I found the hand symbols to be similar, and strange that both 'movements' where using similar gestures. I probably should have left them out of my post, because I found them accidentally while doing the other research on the peopl Prodigy mentioned.
Both are shams, as LowLevelMason points out. York's site claims to be for Lodge #1. I think I saw reference to a second lodge possibly opening, but overall it looked like a guy who made up his own thing, used Masonic names and trappings, and put his own "Grand Lodge" over it to make it seem bigger than it really was.
Anything to say about the rest of my post? About Dr. Malachi York? Nuwaubian Masonry?
You'll find if you hang around here enough that I contribute quite a bit to this particular forum. I've agreed with a number of your posts in other threads, even starring a few. Just because I called you to task on the handsigns doesn't mean I think any less of you. If anything, I'm asking you to be more diligent in your work, as we all should.
Or anything to do with Prodigy's letter, or the people he wrote about, or are you the type of member that feels compelled to try to take their fellow members to task without contributing anything to the thread besides their?
Depends on if you see Kanye as sheep or as leader. If you think he's part of it, then he'd probably be one to get the signs right, wouldn't he? He's the one in the spotlight. Others emulating him without knowing what they're doing would be the sheep.
How specific do you think 'Actual Occultists' are when it is the sheep like populace are the ones perpetuating the gestures and symbolism? Do you think a figure like Obama would stop a speech to tell his followers to stop using the wrong occult hand sign? Highly doubtful anyway.
Again, I don't think you're an idiot. I just think you used a weak argument that, as you've admitted, you probably would have been better off omitting. So let's leave it at that, shall we?
Since you seem to take either the position that I must be a complete idiot because the two gestures are not similar enough, or you are offended because my post offended you and your knowledge of the occult.
I know, as do many others here at ATS, that I am not an idiot. That leaves your knowledge of the occult.
"J.Z. [sic] knows the truth, but he chose sides with evil in order to be accepted in the corporate world," P said. "J.Z. conceals the truth from the black community and the world and promotes the lifestyle of the beast instead."
According to reports, P's issue with Jay stems from the work of Dr. Malachi Z. York and his son, Jacob York. P says that Jay is in cahoots with Jacob, who played a hand in the set up and incarceration of the elder York.
At deadline, Jay-Z had yet to respond to the allegations.
