Guest JohnGalway Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 This may help.... The western Nazi party symbol was actually the eastern sauwastika, and westerners (because the Germans misidentified it as the swastika) were none the wiser. The good luck version is the one you see over Buddha's heart, the real swastika, the one that spins clockwise. The bad luck version is the one the Nazi's used, the suavastika (sauwastika) that spins counter-clockwise (to the left). I stand corrected Never knew there were two versions.

Guest WILF Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 It was a very common and popular good luck symbol pre-WWI. You used to be able to buy postcards with them on etc.I have a duvet cover with them all over it from China and they are clockwise. Did you get your picture of Adolf Hitler and "I hate yids" t-shirt from China as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SportingShooter 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 The Swastika is also a symbol from Judaism unless I'm very much mistaken. I just had a read of this. Not bad for Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika SS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,829 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Lakshmi Mittal used to use the symbol on some of his steel products,maybe wire from one of his subsidiary firms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iamduvern 62 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Lakshmi Mittal used to use the symbol on some of his steel products,maybe wire from one of his subsidiary firms? We would get sheets of steel in from Asia with a swastika painted on and round bar would have a stamped swastika on the end Quote Link to post Share on other sites

freddybamboo 0 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 The Pictish hunters and early Celts that used to inhabit scotland had a symbol like a swastika with the arms being made up of men. Four men spinning clockwise. They also hunted with the early ancestors of Deerhounds. (I dont think they were into Bull X's ) Its obviously not theirs, but a bit of a tenious link.

P.Carter 0 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 So you've either got a farmer near you who is a neo-nazi of some kind, that has put the Swastika on a fence, as a secret meeting symbol or summot', or likes branding everything on his land and fences to keep Jews out maybe. Or you've got a retarded pagan, that doesn't know the original luck symbol from a Swastika. Failing that he might be a Hardcore Hindu that likes branding his land to keep demons out or whatever, but couldn't get his hands on any of the original symbols so improvised. Either way mate, he sounds weird, I'd stay clear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
