--- Begin Message --- -Caveat Lector-Bipartisan Bonesmen
by William F. JasperThe two leading contenders for the U.S. presidency are both members of Skull and Bones, one of the oldest secret societies in America. Why is this not a major election-year issue?

� Meet the Press, Taped on February 7, 2004
Every politician, it is said, has skeletons in his closet, but this is ridiculous. In the cases of President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), we have two politicos whose careers, literally, were launched in a crypt full of skeletons. The crypt we refer to is the hulking mausoleum on the Yale campus that houses The Order of the Skull and Bones, the infamous, occultic fraternity that both men joined in the 1960s during their senior year at the university. Both Bush and Kerry have been asked in recent interviews about their membership in this very old, super-secret club. Each has waved off the question with a laugh and refused to say anything further on the matter. And the Establishment media have politely dropped the subject.
For the first time in history the race for the U.S. presidency is shaping up to be completely a "Bonesman" affair. What are the odds that out of a population of nearly 300 million the two front-runners for the most powerful political office in the world would be "brothers" in a super-elite, secret society that numbers probably fewer than 800 living members? The odds are even slimmer than that, since only a handful of that already minuscule number actually hold political office and would, therefore, be potential candidates. Nevertheless, a pair of Bonesmen are poised to carry the Republican and Democrat banners in the forthcoming quadrennial contest. We�ll leave the statistical computing to the mathematicians, but it�s obvious even to those of us who are mathematically challenged that the Bush-Kerry match-up in the current White House run is a bizarre "coincidence" that strains the laws of probability.
Why So Secret?
In his autobiography, A Charge to Keep, then-Governor Bush disposed of his membership in the furtive Yale society with a single sentence. "My senior year I joined Skull and Bones," wrote Bush, "a secret society, so secret I can�t say anything more."
He dealt with the issue similarly in a February 7, 2004 Oval Office interview that aired the next day on NBC�s Meet the Press. NBC�s interviewer, Tim Russert, broached the topic, noting that Senator Kerry is also a member of The Order. The very brief exchange that ensued may be more revealing than a voluble response would have been. Here�s the text:
Russert: "You were both in Skull and Bones, the secret society."
President Bush: "It�s so secret we can�t talk about it."
Russert: "What does that mean for America? The conspiracy theorists are going to go wild."
President Bush: "I�m sure they are. I don�t know. I haven�t seen Web pages yet." (Laughs)
Mr. Russert then said: "Number 322." President Bush ignored Russert�s reference to the Bonesmen�s secret code number and went in another direction, noting that Kerry has not yet been selected as the Democrats� candidate. Those familiar with Skull and Bones (S&B) know that "322" is the room number of the initiation room � the sanctum sanctorum or "holy of holies" � in the organization�s forbidding structure on the Yale campus. That structure is commonly known to insiders and outsiders alike as "the Tomb," but is also referred to by members as "the Temple." The "322" also refers to the society itself; it is "Chapter 322" of an older German secret society.
Secrets of the Crypt: This mausoleum-style building known as the "Crypt"serves as the Yale campus headquarters of the Order of Skull & Bones. The Order is an offshoot of an immensely powerful German secret society. For more than a century and half, the Crypt has been an incubator for fledgling members of the American Power Elite--including both President George W. Bush and likely Democratic nominee John Kerry. However, when the president evaded the question, Mr. Russert, who has displayed a dogged persistence in other interviews (indeed, he had shown some of the same pointed tenacity in his earlier questions for the president), conspicuously dropped that line of questioning and accommodated Mr. Bush with cream-puff questions that allowed scripted responses about the president�s vision and leadership.
Likewise, Senator Kerry has been given a free pass on his S&B membership. On August 31 of last year, Kerry was asked on Meet the Press: "You both were members of Skull and Bones, a secret society at Yale. What does that tell us?" His response: "Not much, because it�s a secret."
The Mafia has its infamous oath of omerta (silence), by which initiates vow never to reveal any secrets of their criminal enterprise. The slightest violation, or suspicion of violation, of this oath can earn one a death sentence. We have no proof that Skull and Bones enforces its equivalent of omerta with similarly severe means, but there is no question that Bonesmen take it very seriously; members are instructed never to mention or discuss S&B with any "barbarian," which means all the rest of us outsiders � including Bonesmen�s own spouses and biological family members. If barbarians ever broach the subject in their presence, Bonesmen are instructed to turn on their heels immediately and leave.
This kind of secrecy by men in positions of power should be a natural magnet to investigative reporters and members of the Fourth Estate who posture as the watchdogs of our political system. But it would seem that our media mavens, who insist on prying into every other private crevice of politicians� lives, have a curious lack of curiosity when it comes to The Order. Like NBC�s Russert, the denizens of the controlled elite media tend to laugh off the S&B connection as something that would only concern paranoid "conspiracy theorists." Thus, Elizabeth Bumiller began her February 2 New York Times column on the Bonesmen election race with this opening line: "It will be a field day for conspiracy theorists."
Bones of Contention
After noting that a Kerry-Bush race would be "the first skull-to-skull match-up of Bonesmen in history," the Times� Bumiller asks: "Does this mean anything at all?"
What it means, the Times would have us believe, is that we will be fortunate if either of these elite Bonesmen helms our ship of state. "Historically, Yale�s best and brightest � only 15 a year � were tapped for Skull and Bones," an approving Bumiller tells her readers. "The larger question is whether Skull and Bones inculcated values of leadership � in Mr. Kerry and Mr. Bush, beyond what was already driven home by Yale." Then she follows a familiar pattern of quoting sympathetic sources who extol S&B as a training ground that transforms callow, shallow youth into men of caliber dedicated to higher purpose and the public good.
Bumiller continues:
Skull and Bones has, after all, a particularly illustrious alumni roster: two previous presidents (Mr. Bush�s father and William Howard Taft), Averell Harriman, McGeorge Bundy, Henry Luce, Potter Stewart, the writer John Hersey and numerous officials in the Central Intelligence Agency, a traditional career path for Bonesmen.

Through these doors pass the members of the Order of Skull & Bones, a small secret society founded at Yale University in 1832 that has risen to the top of American political and economic power. Three U.S.
Presidents, two Chief Justices of the United States, over twenty U.S. Senators, and many congressmen, cabinet officers, judges and state officials are testimony to the power, privilege and prestige of Bones.
What do these elite secret society members have over us regular folks? Who are they? What do they do? Did members of Skull & Bones really finance Hitler? Do they hold the bones of Geronimo in their Tomb? This book is your chance to investigate these questions and more.
�These secret societies are behind it all,� my father told me many years ago, During the early �50s he was a CIA branch chief, head of the East Asia intelligence analysis office. �The Vietnam War,� he said soberly, �is about drugs.� Many years later I finally had some understanding of what Dad was
talking about. I wish I had asked more questions. Such as, was he talking about the Order of Skull and Bones?
It�s a symbol used by pirates, poisons and the Nazis but it�s also a �fraternity� at Yale University. College kids having fun? Well, � ?
Fifteen juniors are tapped each year. Around 2,500 Yale graduates have been members, mostly white males from wealthy Northeastern families
: Bush, Bundy, Cheney, Dodge, Ford, Goodyear, Harriman, Heinz, Kellogg, Phelps, Pillsbury, Rockefeller, Taft, Vanderbilt, Weyerhaeuser and Whitney are some of the names on its roster. Minorities were brought into membership in the 1950s, and the first women were admitted in 1991,
The Order of Skull and Bones is a secret society begun at Yale by William Huntington Russell. His cousin Samuel Russell�s family enterprise was the largest American opium smuggler. When Russell & Co. worked with the world�s largest smuggler, the Scottish firm Jardine-Matheson, they were known as the Combination.
Many New England and Southern families in the �China Trade� sent their sons to Yale, and many were tapped into Skull and Bones. From Yale, Bonesmen went into and were very influential in the worlds of commerce, communications, diplomacy, education, intelligence, finance, law and politics.

SKULL & BONES ALERT: Kerry & "WAR" - Out of the Crypt
"What makes Kerry's contribution so valuable, in the eyes of the ruling elite, is that his campaign will deprive the American people of any significant choice on the most basic issue, war and peace. "
NOTE: As those who read this list know, Kelly is a member of Skull & Bones as is Bush. If you saw the movie Skulls, you know that this elite fraternity of New World Order leaders worth-ship at the altar of endless "WAR"... literally, from deep in the crypt of their underground chambers where they initiate new members with Satanic rites... that the movie of course glossed over with Hollywood spin. Their Machiavellian mindset is the creation and management of endless crisis, terror, disease and war of every kind in order to consolidated power and control over the physical and human resources of Earth. Without a global revolution of LOVE at the heart of the TeLeComm that shapes our conscience and community, the corrupt horse-and-buggy system of "representative government" in America will once again offer us a "choice" between two evils. Both Skull & Bones. Your choice! -CR--------------
Democratic frontrunner declares he will be
stronger "war president" than Bush (March 2)
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2004/mar2004/kerr-m02.shtmlIn a speech Friday in Los Angeles, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, the likely presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, attacked the Bush administration's management of the "war on terror" and declared that he would be a more effective-and more aggressive-"war president."
The bulk of Kerry's criticism of the Bush administration's foreign and military policy was from the right, not the left, a clear indication of the type of campaign the Democratic Party will wage for the November election. He referred disparagingly to "armchair hawks" in the Pentagon and White House, implicitly contrasting the lack of personal experience in warfare on the part of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz with his own experience as a Vietnam combat veteran.
"I don't fault George Bush for doing too much in the war on terror," Kerry said. "I believe he has done too little.... (...) In his Los Angeles speech, Kerry outlined a foreign policy posture hardly distinguishable from the Bush "doctrine of unilateral preemption," as the prospective Democratic nominee termed it. He said that he would, if necessary, "order direct military action" against terrorist groups, with or without international support.
"Allies give us more hands in the struggle," he said, "but no president would ever let them tie our hands and prevent us from doing what must be done.... As president, I pledge to you, I'll never wait for a green light from abroad, from any other institution, if our safety and security are legitimately at stake."
Kerry boasted that "George Bush inherited the strongest military in the world" from the Democratic administration of Clinton and Gore. "And I know and members of the military know ... that George Bush has in fact weakened that military by overextending it."
He called for increasing the power of both the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, with an additional 40,000 active-duty Army troops and a spy apparatus centralized under the control of the CIA director. He supported involving the CIA directly in domestic police s pying, which he described as an effort to "break down the barriers between national intelligence and local law enforcement." (...)
What makes Kerry's contribution so valuable, in the eyes of the ruling elite, is that his campaign will deprive the American people of any significant choice on the most basic issue, war and peace.
There will be no fundamental change in US foreign policy if Kerry wins the election. (...) In an interview with the Los Angeles Times after the speech, Kerry said he would be "potentially" more aggressive than past Democratic presidents when it came to deploying military force abroad. CLIP (!!!)

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared" -- Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 BCJohn Pilger: Bush Or Kerry? Look Closely And The Danger Is The Same
03/04/04 "New Statesman" - A myth equal to the fable of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction is gaining strength on both sides of the Atlantic. It is that John Kerry offers a world-view different from that of George W Bush. Watch this big lie grow as Kerry is crowned the Democratic candidate and the "anyone but Bush" movement becomes a liberal cause celebre.
While the rise to power of the Bush gang, the neoconservatives, belatedly preoccupied the American media, the message of their equivalents in the Democratic Party has been of little interest. Yet the similarities are compelling. Shortly before Bush's "election" in 2000, the Project for the New American Century, the neoconservative pressure group, published an ideological blueprint for "maintaining global US pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests". Every one of its recommendations for aggression and conquest was adopted by the administration.
