-Caveat Lector-

A piece I wrote early 96, I am an intelligence brat, my Daddy was branch chief
head of East Asia for CIA (a job later held by Ted Shackley). Got family
photos of Ed Lansdale and boys in Vietnam in 56, he was a visitor at the
family home, according to Mom, who calls him Eddie.

Everything you wanted to know about Skull and Bones but were afraid to ask



Three threads of American social history -- espionage, drug smuggling and
secret societies -- intertwine into one.

Elihu Yale was born near Boston, educated in London, and served with the
British East India Company, eventually becoming governor of Fort Saint George,
Madras, in 1687. He amassed a great fortune from trade and returned to England
in 1699. Yale became known as quite a philanthropist; upon receiving a request
from the Collegiate School in Connecticut, he sent a donation and a gift of
books. After subsequent bequests, Cotton Mather suggested the school be named
Yale College, in 1718.

A statue of Nathan Hale stands on Old Campus at Yale University. There is a
copy of that statue in front of the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
Yet another stands in front of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts
(where George H.W. Bush ('48) went to prep school and joined a secret society
at age twelve).

Nathan Hale, along with three other Yale graduates, was a member of the
"Culper Ring," one of America's first intelligence operations. Established by
George Washington, it was successful throughout the Revolutionary War. Nathan
was the only operative to be ferreted out by the British, and after speaking
his famous regrets, he was hanged in 1776. Ever since the founding of the
Republic, the relationship between Yale and the "Intelligence Community" has
been unique.

In 1823, Samuel Russell established Russell and Company for the purpose of
acquiring opium in Turkey and smuggling it to China. Russell and Company
bought out the Perkins (Boston) syndicate in 1830 and moved the primary center
of American opium smuggling to Connecticut. Many of the great American and
European fortunes were built on the "China"(opium) trade.

One of Russell and Company's Chief of Operations in Canton was Warren Delano,
Jr., grandfather of Franklin Roosevelt. Other Russell partners included John
Cleve Green (who financed Princeton), Abiel Low (who financed construction of
Columbia), Joseph Coolidge and the Perkins, Sturgis and Forbes families.
(Coolidge's son organized the United Fruit company, and his grandson,
Archibald C. Coolidge, was a co-founder of the Council on Foreign Relations.)

William Huntington Russell ('33), Samuel's cousin, studied in Germany from
1831-32. Germany was a hotbed of new ideas. The "scientific method" was being
applied to all forms of human endeavor. Prussia, which blamed the defeat of
its forces by Napoleon in 1806 on soldiers only thinking about themselves in
the stress of battle, took the principles set forth by John Locke and Jean
Rosseau and created a new educational system. Johan Fitche, in his Address to
the German People, declared that the children would be taken over by the State
and told what to think and how to think it.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel took over Fitche's chair at the University Of
Berlin in 1817, and was a professor there until his death in 1831. Hegel was
the culmination of the German idealistic philosophy school of Immanuel Kant.

To Hegel, our world is a world of reason. The state is Absolute Reason and the
citizen can only become free by worship and obedience to the state. Hegel
called the state the "march of God in the world" and the "final end". This
final end, Hegel said, "has supreme right against the individual, whose
supreme duty is to be a member of the state." Both fascism and communism have
their philosophical roots in Hegellianism. Hegellian philosophy was very much
in vogue during William Russell's time in Germany.

When Russell returned to Yale in 1832, he formed a senior society with
Alphonso Taft ('33). According to information acquired from a break-in to the
"tomb" (the Skull and Bones meeting hall) in 1876, "Bones is a chapter of a
corps in a German University.... General Russell, its founder, was in Germany
before his Senior Year and formed a warm friendship with a leading member of a
German society. He brought back with him to college, authority to found a
chapter here." So class valedictorian William H. Russell, along with fourteen
others, became the founding members of "The Order of Scull and Bones," later
changed to "The Order of Skull and Bones".

The secretive Order of Skull and Bones exists only at Yale. Fifteen juniors
are "tapped" each year by the seniors to be initiated into next year's group.
Each initiate is given $15,000 and a grandfather clock. Far from being a
campus fun-house, the group is geared more toward the success of its members
in the post-collegiate world.

The family names on the Skull and Bones roster roll off the tongue like an
elite party list -- Lord, Whitney, Taft, Jay, Bundy, Harriman, Weyerhaeuser,
Pinchot, Rockefeller, Goodyear, Sloane, Stimson, Phelps, Perkins, Pillsbury,
Kellogg, Vanderbilt, Bush, Lovett and so on.

William Russell went on to become a general and a state legislator in
Connecticut. Alphonso Taft was appointed U.S. Attorney General, Secretary of
War (a post many "Bonesmen" have held), Ambassador to Austria, and Ambassador
to Russia (another post held by many "Bonesmen"). His son, William Howard Taft
('87), is the only man to be both President of the United States and Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Order flourished from the very beginning in spite of occasional squalls of
controversy. There was dissension from some professors, who didn't like its
secrecy and exclusiveness. And there was backlash from students, showing
concern about the influence "Bones" was having over Yale finances and the
favoritism shown to "Bonesmen".

In October of 1873, Volume 1, Number 1, of The Iconoclast was published in New
Haven. It was only published once and was one of very few openly published
articles on the Order of Skull and Bones.

>From The Iconoclast :

"We speak through a new publication. because the college press is closed to
those who dare to openly mention 'Bones'....

"Out of every class Skull and Bones takes its men. They have gone out into the
world and have become, in many instances, leaders in society. They have
obtained control of Yale. Its business is performed by them. Money paid to the
college must pass into their hands, and be subject to their will. No doubt
they are worthy men in themselves, but the many, whom they looked down upon
while in college, cannot so far forget as to give money freely into their
hands. Men in Wall Street complain that the college comes straight to them for
help, instead of asking each graduate for his share. The reason is found in a
remark made by one of Yale's and America's first men: 'Few will give but Bones
men and they care far more for their society than they do for the college....'

"Year by year the deadly evil is growing. The society was never as obnoxious
to the college as it is today, and it is just this ill-feeling that shuts the
pockets of non-members. Never before has it shown such arrogance and self-
fancied superiority. It grasps the College Press and endeavors to rule it all.
It does not deign to show its credentials, but clutches at power with the
silence of conscious guilt.

To tell the good which Yale College has done would be well nigh impossible. To
tell the good she might do would be yet more difficult. The question, then, is
reduced to this -- on the one hand lies a source of incalculable good -- on
the other a society guilty of serious and far-reaching crimes. It is Yale
College against Skull and Bones!! We ask all men, as a question of right,
which should be allowed to live?"

At first, the society held its meetings in hired halls. Then in 1856, the
"tomb", a vine-covered, windowless, brown-stone hall was constructed, where to
this day the "Bonesmen" hold their "strange, occultish" initiation rites and
meet each Thursday and Sunday.

On September 29, 1876, a group calling itself "The Order of File and Claw"
broke into the Skull and Bones' holy of holies. In the "tomb" they found
lodge-room 324 "fitted up in black velvet, even the walls being covered with
the material." Upstairs was lodge-room 322, "the 'sanctum sanctorium' of the
temple ... furnished in red velvet" with a pentagram on the wall. In the hall
are "pictures of the founders of Bones at Yale, and of members of the Society
in Germany, when the chapter was established here in 1832." The raiding party
found another interesting scene in the parlor next to room 322.

>From The Fall Of Skull And Bones:

"On the west wall, hung among other pictures, an old engraving representing an
open burial vault, in which, on a stone slab, rest four human skulls, grouped
about a fools cap and bells, an open book, several mathematical instruments, a
beggar's scrip, and a royal crown. On the arched wall above the vault are the
explanatory words, in Roman letters, 'We War Der Thor, Wer Weiser, Wer Bettler
Oder, Kaiser?' and below the vault is engraved, in German characters, the
sentence; 'Ob Arm, Ob Beich, im Tode gleich'."

The picture is accompanied by a card on which is written, 'From the German
Chapter. Presented by D. C. Gilman of D. 50'.

Daniel Coit Gilman ('52), along with two other "Bonesmen", formed a troika
which still influences American life today. Soon after their initiation in
Skull and Bones, Daniel Gilman, Timothy Dwight ('49) and Andrew Dickinson
White ('53) went to study philosophy in Europe at the University of Berlin.
Gilman returned from Europe and incorporated Skull and Bones as Russell Trust,
in 1856, with himself as Treasurer and William H. Russell as President. He
spent the next fourteen years in New Haven consolidating the order's power.

Gilman was appointed Librarian at Yale in 1858. Through shrewd political
maneuvering, to acquire funding for Yale's science departments (Sheffield
Scientific School), he was able to get the Morrill Land Bill introduced in
Congress, passed and finally signed by President Lincoln, after being vetoed
by President Buchanan.

This bill, "donating public-lands for State College for agriculture and
sciences", is now known as the Land Grant College Act. Yale was the first
school in America to get the federal land scrip and quickly grabbed all of
Connecticut's share at the time. Pleased by the acquisitions, Yale made Gilman
a Professor of Physical Geography.

Daniel was the first President of the University of California. He also helped
found, and was the first president of, John Hopkins.

Gilman was first president of the Carnegie Institution and involved in the
founding of the Peabody, Slater and Russell Sage Foundations.

His buddy, Andrew D. White, was the first president of Cornell University
(which received all of New York's share of the Land Grant College Act), U.S.
Minister to Russia, U.S. Ambassador to Berlin and first president of the
American Historical Association. White was also Chairman of the American
delegation to the first Hague Conference in 1899, which established an
international judiciary.

Timothy Dwight, a professor at Yale Divinity School, was installed as
president of Yale in 1886. All presidents since, have been either "Bonesmen"
or directly tied to the Order and its interests.

The Daniel/Gilman/White trio was also responsible for the founding of the
American Economic Association, the American Chemical Society and the American
Psychological Association. Through their influences on Thomas Dewey and Horace
Mann, this trio continues to have an enormous impact on education today.

In his book America's Secret Establishment, Antony Sutton outlined the Order
of Skull and Bones' ability to establish vertical and horizontal "chains of
influence" that ensured the continuity of their conspiratorial schemes.

The Whitney-Stimson-Bundy links represent a "vertical chain".

W. C. Whitney ('63), who married Flora Payne (of the Standard Oil Payne
dynasty), was Secretary of the Navy. His attorney was a man named Elihu Root.
Root hired Henry Stimson ('88), out of law school. Stimson took over from Root
as Secretary of War in 1911, appointed by fellow Bonesman William Howard Taft.
Stimson later became Coolidge's Governor-General of the Philippine Islands,
Hoover's Secretary of State, and Secretary of War during the Roosevelt and
Truman administrations.

Hollister Bundy ('09) was Stimson's special assistant and point man in the
Pentagon for the Manhattan Project. His two sons, also members of Skull and
Bones, were William Bundy ('39) and McGeorge Bundy ('40) -- both very active
in governmental and foundation affairs.

The two brothers, from their positions in the CIA, the Department of Defense
and the State Department, and as Special Assistants to Presidents Kennedy and
Johnson, exercised significant impact on the flow of information and
intelligence during the Vietnam "War."

William Bundy went on to be editor of Foreign Affairs, the influential
quarterly of the Council on Foreign Affairs (CFR). McGeorge became president
of the Ford Foundation.

Another interesting group of "Bonesmen" is the Harriman/Bush crowd. Averil
Harriman ('13), "Elder Statesman" of the Democratic Party, and his brother
Roland Harriman ('17) were very active members. In fact, four of Roland's
fellow "Bonesmen" from the class of 1917 were directors of Brown Brothers,
Harriman, including Prescott Bush ('17), George Bush's dad.

Since the turn of the century, two investment bank firms -- Guaranty Trust and
Brown Brothers, Harriman -- were both dominated by members of Skull and Bones.
These two firms were heavily involved in the financing of Communism and
Hitler's regime.

Bonesman share an affinity for the Hegellian ideas of the historical
dialectic, which dictates the use of controlled conflict -- thesis versus
anti-thesis -- to create a pre-determined synthesis. A synthesis of their
making and design, where the state is absolute and individuals are granted
their freedoms based on their obedience to the state -- a New World Order.

Funding and political maneuvering on the part of "Bonesmen" and their allies
helped the Bolsheviks prevail in Russia. In defiance of federal laws, the
cabal financed industries, established banks and developed oil and mineral
deposits in the fledgling U.S.S.R.

Later, Averil Harriman, as minister to Great Britain in charge of Lend-Lease
for Britain and Russia, was responsible for shipping entire factories into
Russia. According to some researchers, Harriman also oversaw the transfer of
nuclear secrets, plutonium and U. S. dollar printing plates to the U.S.S.R.

In 1932, the Union Banking Corporation of New York City had enlisted four
directors from the ('17) cell and two Nazi bankers associated with Fritz
Thyssen, who had been financing Hitler since 1924.

>From George Bush; The Unauthorized Biography :

"President Franklin Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley,
signed Vesting Order Number 248 [11/17/42] seizing the property of Prescott
Bush under the Trading with Enemy Act. The order, published in obscure
government record books and kept out of the news, Note #4 explained nothing
about the Nazis involved; only that the Union Banking Corporation was run for
the 'Thyssen family' of 'Germany and/or Hungary' -- 'nationals ... of a
designated enemy country.'

"By deciding that Prescott Bush and the other directors of the Union Banking
Corporation were legally 'front men for the Nazis', the government avoided the
more important historical issue: In what way 'were Hitler's Nazis themselves
hired, armed, and instructed by' the New York and London clique of which
Prescott Bush was an executive manager? ...

"4. New York Times, December 16, 1944, ran a five-paragraph page 25 article on
actions of the New York State Banking Department. Only the last sentence
refers to the Nazi bank, as follows: 'The Union Banking Corporation, 39
Broadway, New York, has received authority to change its principal place of
business to 120 Broadway.'

"The Times omitted the fact that the Union Banking Corporation had been seized
by the government for trading with the enemy, and the fact that 120 Broadway
was the address of the government's Alien Property Custodian."

After the war, Prescott, went on to become a U. S. Senator from Connecticut
and favorite golfing partner of President Eisenhower. Prescott claims
responsibility for getting Nixon into politics and takes personal credit for
getting our favorite, Dick, as Ike's running mate in 1952.


There were so many "Yalies" in the OSS that Yale's drinking tune, the
"Whiffenpoof Song", became an "unofficial" song of the OSS. Many in the OSS
were "Bonesmen" or belonged to the other Yale senior societies.

Robert Lovett ('18), Harriman's childhood friend, had been tapped into Skull &
Bones by Prescott Bush's cell of '17 and was a director at Brown Brothers,
Harriman.

Again, from George Bush; The Unauthorized Biography:

"On October 22, 1945, Secretary of War Robert Patterson created the Lovett
Committee, chaired by Robert A. Lovett, to advise the government on the post-
World War II organization of U.S. intelligence activities.... The new agency
would 'consult' with the armed forces, but it must be the sole collecting
agency in the field of foreign espionage and counterespionage. The new agency
should have an independent budget, and its appropriations should be granted by
Congress without public hearings. Lovett appeared before the Secretaries of
State, War, and Navy on November 14, 1945.... Lovett pressed for a virtual
resumption of the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS).... The CIA was
established in 1947 according to the prescription of Robert Lovett, of Jupiter
Island."

Gaddis Smith, a history professor at Yale, said, "Yale has influenced the
Central Intelligence Agency more than any other university, giving the CIA the
atmosphere of a class reunion." And "Bonesman" have been foremost among the
"spooks" building the CIA's "haunted house."

F. Trubee Davison ('18) was Director of Personnel at the CIA in the early
years. Some of the other "Bonesmen" connected with the intelligence community
are:

-- Sloane Coffin, Jr. ('49)
--V. Van Dine ('49)

Ever since Nixon re-established America's political relationship with China,
many of our ambassadors to that country have been Bonesmen, including George
Bush, the first Chief U. S. Liaison Officer to the Peoples Republic of China.


Why all this interest in China? Well, China, among other things, is the
largest producer and user of opiates in the world.

For a while, in the 1800s, the Yankee Clippers in Connecticut and
Massachusetts were the fastest ships on the ocean. Speed was crucial to the
opium trade; whoever made the trip from Turkey/India to Macao/Hong
Kong/Shanghai first got the most for their goods.

During the Opium Wars, the U.S. chose to stand on the sidelines and cheer for
the English and French, knowing that treaty obligations would bring the U.S. a
share in the spoils. Russell and Company was at times the only trading house
operating in Canton and used the opportunity to developed strong commercial
ties and handsome profits.

Powerful national interests were behind the drug trade, because American
traders were badly in need of some article the Chinese would buy, since by
this time the seal breeding grounds had been nearly wiped out. If the Chinese
had not bought opium from Americans, then United States imports of silk,
porcelain and tea would have to paid in precious coin, which was in short
supply. In 1843, when the Port of Shanghai was opened, Russell and Co. was one
of its earliest traders.

In 1903, Yale Divinity School set up a program of schools and hospitals in
China. Mao Zedong was among the staff. During the intrigues of China in the
1930s and '40s, American intelligence called upon the resources of "Yale in
China", and George Bush's cousin and fellow "Bonesman" Reuben Holden.

After stints as UN Ambassador and Chairman of the Republican National
Committee for the beleaguered Richard Nixon, George Bush was sent to look
after the "China trade". The Bush family is still very much involved in the
economic activities of "Red" China.

Many researchers contend that George Bush has been with CIA since the early
1950s, and that one of his jobs was to consolidate and co-ordinate the
worldwide narcotics industry, the largest industry on Earth. Some say that one
of the reasons behind the Vietnam "Police Action" was a cover for the
consolidation of the "Golden Triangle".

Before the Vietnam "War", the Golden Triangle was run by French Intelligence
and Corsican mobsters. After the French bailed out and America moved in, the
"war" the triangle was run by U.S. intelligence, with aid from Sicilian
mobsters. This narcotics network is well documented in The Politics of Heroin
in S. E. Asia by Alfred McCoy, The Great Heroin Coup by Henrik Kruger and
Double-Cross by Sam and Chuck Giancana.

Vice-President George Bush, as Chairman of President Reagan's cabinet-level
working group and as Director of the National Narcotics Interdiction System,
was the highest U. S. governmental official involved in the "war on drugs".

Frances Mullen, Jr., former head of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), called
Bush's efforts "an intellectual fraud" and "a liability rather than an asset".
Soon after these statements, Mullen resigned and the resultant General
Accounting Office (GAO) report was buried.

In July, 1985, the suppressed GAO paper reported that there were "no benefits
from the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System, directed by George
Bush. In fact, the overall effect was to encourage supply...."

Monika Jensen-Stevenson, a "60 Minutes" producer, quit her job after the CBS
news program refused to air the story she had uncovered relating to the covert
drug trade. Her book, Kiss The Boys Goodbye, details how our intelligence
community used the apparatus of the POW/MIA governmental agencies as a cover
for the trafficking of opiates from the "Golden Triangle".

President Reagan appointed Reform Party founder and Texas billionaire Ross
Perot to the President's Advisory Council on Foreign Intelligence. Reagan made
Perot a special presidential investigator, looking into America's POW and MIAs
from the Vietnam "War".

Ross took the job to heart and spent considerable time and money in pursuit of
the quest. He was given special clearance and access. He asked questions and
interviewed everyone he could find.

>From Kiss The Boys Goodbye :

"Relations between Bush and Perot had gone downhill ever since the Vice-
President had asked Ross Perot how his POW/MIA investigations were going.

'Well, George, I go in looking for prisoners,' said Perot, 'but I spend all my
time discovering the government has been moving drugs around the world and is
involved in illegal arms deals.... I can't get at the prisoners because of the
corruption among our own people.'

"This ended Perot's official access to the highly classified files as a one-
man presidential investigator. 'I have been instructed to cease and desist,'
he had informed the families of missing men early in 1987."

The wholesale importation of cocaine into the U.S. during "Iran/Contra" is
also well documented. George Bush, is known "to be in the loop" with many of
the players keeping in contact directly with his office.

Also, there has been much speculation as to the use of the off-shore rigs,
pipelines and other assets of Zapata Offshore being used for narcotic trans-
shipments.

Narcotics such as cocaine and heroin cannot be manufactured without the
precursor chemicals. The largest maker of these precursor chemicals is the Eli
Lilly Company of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Quayle family is a large
stockholder, and George Bush has been on the Board of Directors. Eli Lilly is
also the company that first synthesized LSD for the CIA.

Rodney Stich's book Defrauding America tells of a "deep-cover CIA officer"
assigned to a counter-intelligence unit, code-named Pegasus. This unit "had
tape-recordings of plans to assassinate Kennedy" from a tap on the phone of J.
Edgar Hoover. The people on the tapes were "[Nelson] Rockefeller, Allen
Dulles, [Lyndon] Johnson of Texas, George Bush and J. Edgar Hoover."

Could George Bush be involved in the JFK assassination?

In 1963, Bush was living in Houston, busily carrying out his duties as
president of the Zapata Offshore oil company. He denied the existence of a
note sent by the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover to "Mr. George Bush of the CIA." When
news of the note surfaced, the CIA first said they never commented on
employment questions, but later relented said yes, a "George Bush" was
mentioned in the note, but that it was "another" George Bush, not the man who
took office in the White House in 1988.

Some intrepid reporters tracked down the "other" George Bush and discovered
that he was just a lowly clerk who had shuffled papers for the CIA for about
six months. He never received any interagency messages from anybody at the
FBI, let alone the Queen Mary.

It is also worth noting that a CIA code word for Bay of Pigs was Operation
Zapata, and that two of the support vessels were named Barbara and Houston.

Many say that George Bush was high up on the CIA ladder at the time, running
proprietorial vehicles and placed in a position of command, responsible for
many of the Cubans recruited into "service" at the time. All through the Iran-
Contra affair, Felix Rodriguez, the man who captured and had Che Guevara
killed for the CIA, always seemed to call Bush's office first.

>From The Realist , (Summer, 1991):

"Bush was working with the now-famous CIA agent, Felix Rodriguez, recruiting
right-wing Cuban exiles for the invasion of Cuba. It was Bush's CIA job to
organize the Cuban community in Miami for the invasion.... A newly discovered
FBI document reveals that George Bush was directly involved in the 1963 murder
of President John Kennedy. The document places marksmen by the CIA. Bush at
that time lived in Texas. Hopping from Houston to Miami weekly, Bush spent
1960 and '61 recruiting Cubans in Miami for the invasion....

"George Bush claims he never worked for the CIA until he was appointed
Director by former Warren Commission director and then president Jerry Ford in
1976. Logic suggests that is highly unlikely. Of course, Bush has a company
duty to deny being in the CIA. The CIA is a secret organization. No one ever
admits to being a member. The truth is that Bush has been a top CIA official
since before the 1961 invasion of Cuba, working with Felix Rodriguez. Bush may
deny his actual role in the CIA in 1959, but there are records in the Bay of
Pigs invasion of Cuba that expose Bush's role..."

On the Watergate tapes, June 23, 1972, referred to in the media as the
'smoking gun' conversation, Nixon and his Chief of Staff, H.R. Haldeman, were
discussing how to stop the FBI investigation into the CIA Watergate burglary.
They were worried that the investigation would expose their connection to 'the
Bay of Pigs thing.' Haldeman, in his book "The Ends of Power", reveals that
Nixon always used code words when talking about the 1963 murder of JFK.
Haldeman said Nixon would always refer to the assassination as 'the Bay of
Pigs'.

On that transcript we find Nixon discussing the role of George Bush's partner,
Robert Mosbacher, as one of the Texas fundraisers for Nixon. On the tapes
Nixon keeps referring to the 'Cubans' and the 'Texans.' The 'Texans' were
Bush, Mosbacher and Baker. This is another direct link between Bush and
evidence linking Nixon and Bush to the Kennedy assassination."

So, why would an intelligence agency/secret society want to smuggle drugs and
assassinate JFK?

Well, they make a lot of money, and they garner intelligence assets through
their participation. There's also the rationale that the world is a seamy and
unseemly place, and if you're going to be the 'big boy' on the block, you
better know what's going on. And what better way of knowing than by running it
yourself? There are also some who theorize that the covert drug trade fits
with to destabilize American families and society. Through demoralizing and
fracturing the body politic, they can impose their will using psychological
warfare and the political alchemy of the Hegellian dialectic.

James Shelby Downard's article, "Sorcery, Sex, Assassination and the Science
of Symbolism ," an underground classic, links American historical events with
a wild, numerological, grand occult plan "to turn us into cybernetic mystery
zombies". The assassination of JFK, this article contends, was the performance
of a public occult ritual called The Killing of the King, designed as a mass-
trauma, mind-control assault against our U.S. national body-politic.

During Operation Sunrise, Operation Blowback, Operation Paperclip and others,
thousands of Nazi scientists, researchers and administrators were brought to
the United States after World War II. Many were "smuggled" into the country
against direct, written, orders from President Harry S. Truman.

Project Monarch was the resumption of a mind-control project called Marionette
Programming, which started in Nazi Germany. The basic component of the Monarch
Program is the sophisticated manipulation of the mind, using extreme trauma to
induce Multiple Personality Disorder.

Mr. Downward feels that the perpetrators purposefully murdered JFK in such a
way as to affect our National identity and cohesiveness -- to fracture
America's soul. Even the blatancy of their conspiracy was designed to show
"their superiority" and "our futility".

There have been studies that show a correlation between the JFK assassination
and the rise in violence in society, distrust of government and other
extensions of social ills.

Why this attack against our body politic?

In 1785, a bolt of lightning struck a courier enroute to Paris from Frankfort-
on-the-Main. A tract written by Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati,
"Original Shift in Days of Illuminations," was recovered from the dead
messenger, containing the secret society's long-range plan for "The New World
Order through world revolution".

The Bavarian Government outlawed the society and in 1787 published the details
of The Illuminati conspiracy in "The Original Writings of the Order and Sect
of the Illuminati."

In Adam Weishaupt's own words:

"By this plan, we shall direct all mankind in this manner. And, by the
simplest means, we shall set all in motion and in flames. The occupations must
be so allotted and contrived that we may, in secret, influence all political
transactions."

There is disagreement among scholars as to whether or not the Illuminati
survived its banishment. Nevertheless, the group had been quite successful in
attracting members and had allied itself with the extensive Masonic networks.

The Illuminati was publicly founded May 1, 1776 at the University of
Ingolstadt by Weishaupt, Professor of Canon Law. It was a very "learned"
society; Weishaupt drew the earliest members of his new order from among his
students."

On December 5, 1776, students at William and Mary College founded a secret
society, Phi Beta Kappa. A second chapter was formed, at Yale, in 1780. The
anti-Masonic movement in the United States during the 1820s held groups such
as Phi Beta Kappa in a bad light. Because of pressure, the society went
public. This is noted by some researchers as the direct cause of the
appearance of Yale's Order of Skull and Bones.

In "The Cyclopedia Of Fraternities", a genealogical chart of general Greek-
Letter college fraternities in the United States, shows Phi Beta Kappa as "the
parent of all the fraternal systems in [American] higher education." There is
only one "side" lineal descendant: the Yale chapter of 1780. The line then
continues to Skull and Bones in 1832, and on through the other "only at Yale"
senior societies, Scroll & Key and Wolf's Head.

Phi Beta Kappa is the "first three Greek letters, for 'Philosophia Biou
Kubernetes' or 'Love of wisdom, the helmsman of life'." A skull homophone is
scull, a quick, gliding boat and part of Skull & Bones first nomenclature.

John Robison, a professor of natural philosophy at Edinburgh University in
Scotland and a member of a Freemason Lodge, said that he was asked to join the
Illuminati. After study, he concluded the purposes of the Illuminati were not
for him.

In 1798, he published a book called "Proofs Of A Conspiracy":

"An association has been formed for the express purpose of rooting out all the
religious establishments and overturning all the existing governments.... the
leaders would rule the World with uncontrollable power, while all the rest
would be employed as tools of the ambition of their unknown superiors."

"Proofs of A Conspiracy" was sent to George Washington. Responding to the
sender of the book with a letter, the president said he was aware the
Illuminati were in America. He felt that the Illuminati had "diabolical
tenets" and that their object was "a separation of the People from their
government."

In "Proofs Of A Conspiracy", Robison printed the ceremony of initiation of the
"Regent degree" in Illuminism. In it "a skeleton is pointed out to him [the
initiate], at the feet of which are laid a crown and a sword. He is asked
'whether that is the skeleton of a king, nobleman or a beggar.' As he cannot
decide, the president of the meeting says to him, 'The character of being a
man is the only one that is importance'".

This is, essentially, the same as the writing in the Skull & Bones "tomb":

"Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser?
Ob Arm, ob Reich, im Tode gleich."

Which reads:

"Who was the fool, who the wise man, beggar or king?
Whether poor or rich, all's the same in death."

Is the Order of the Skull & Bones part of the Illuminati?

When a person is initiated into Skull & Bones, they are given a new name,
similar to the practice of the Illuminati. And many recorded Illuminati
members can be shown to have contact and/or strong influences with many of the
professors that taught "Bonesmen" in Berlin.

When a secret society conspires against the sovereignty of a king, they need
to organize, raise funds, make their plans operational, and hopefully bring
them to fruition.

Could we have in the United States a secret society that has used the
"National Security State" as a cover for their nefarious plans?

>From George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography :

"That September [1951], Robert Lovett replaced Marshall as secretary of
defense. Meanwhile, Harriman was named director of the Mutual Security Agency,
making him the U.S. chief of the Anglo-American military alliance. By now,
Brown Brothers, Harriman was everything but commander-in-chief.

"A central focus of the Harriman security regime in Washington (1950-53) was
the organization of covert operations and 'psychological warfare.' Harriman,
together with his lawyers and business partners, Allen and John Foster Dulles,
wanted the government's secret services to conduct extensive propaganda
campaigns and mass-psychology experiments within the U.S.A., and paramilitary
campaigns abroad....

"The Harriman security regime created the Psychological Strategy Board (PSB)
in 1951. The man appointed director of the PSB [was] Gordon Gray.... Gordon's
brother, R.J. Reynolds chairman Bowman Gray Jr., was also a naval intelligence
officer, known around Washington as the 'founder of operational intelligence.'
Gordon Gray became a close friend and political ally of Prescott Bush; and
Gray's son became for Prescott's son, George, his lawyer and the shield of his
covert policy."

So you have the Whitney/Stimson/Bundy clan and the Harriman/Bush boys wielding
a tremendous amount of influence on the political, economic and social affairs
of America and the world. Then you have Prescott Bush's buddy Richard Nixon as
an activist vice-president. Then, a nation-chilling assassination, some time
under LBJ with the Bundy boys keeping things in line, then Nixon as President
with "Bonesmen" aides Ray Price ('??) and Richard A. Moore. Some time out for
a Trilateralist-Democrat-patsy president, followed by Prescott's son as an
activist vice-president under Reagan. Next, we get a Skull and Bones president
who declares a "New World Order" while beating up on his business partner,
Saddam Hussein.

After twelve years of Republican administrations, Bush passes the reins to his
drug smuggling buddy from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, who studied at Yale Law
School. According to some researchers, Clinton was recruited as a CIA
operative while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. Could this be the "old Hegallian
historical dialectic process"?

Will we get another failed Democratic administration? A scandal as disgraceful
as Nixon's fall? When Robert P. Johnson (William Barr) told Clinton in a
bunker in Arkansas that "you are our fair-haired boy, but you do have
competition for the job you seek. We would never put all our eggs in one
basket. You and your state have been our greatest asset.... Mr. Casey wanted
me to pass on to you, that unless you fuck up and do something stupid, you are
number one on our short list for shot at the job you always wanted."

So, you have William Casey -- CIA Director, George Bush's campaign manager and
Sovereign Knight of Malta -- speaking through the proxy of George Bush's last
Attorney General to George's rival in the 1992 federal elections. Is it all
just a show and sham for the hoi polloi?

Perhaps so, if there exists the type of control over the electoral process as
told by Mae Brussell and the suppressed book "VoteScam," written by Jim and
Ken Collier:

"...Your vote and mine may now be a meaningless bit of energy directed by
preprogrammed computers-which can be fixed to select certain pre-ordained
candidates and leave no footprints or paper trail.

"In short, computers are covertly stealing your vote.

"--For almost three decades the American vote has been subject to government-
sponsored electronic theft.

"--The vote has been stolen from you by a cartel of federal "national
security" bureaucrats, who include higher-ups in the Central Intelligence
Agency, political party leaders, Congressmen, co-opted journalists -- and the
owners and managers -- of the major Establishment news media, who have decided
in concert that how America's votes are counted, by whom they are counted and
how the results are verified and delivered to the public is, as one of them
put it, 'Not a proper area of inquiry.'

"--By means of an unofficial private corporation named News Election Service
(NES), the Establishment press has actual physical control of the counting and
dissemination of the vote, and it refuses to let the public know how it is
done."

Is the American electorate subjected to cyclic propaganda, pre-selected
candidates and winners, and psychological warfare to alienate Americans from
the institutions established to serve them by the Constitution? Are the
Democratic and Republican National Parties used for a Hegellian experiment in
controlled conflict?

Pamela Churchill Harriman, Averil's wife, is one of the Democratic Party's
biggest fund-raisers. She once gave Bill a job as director of her "PAM PAC"
when he was defeated for governor in 1980. Bill paid her back by appointing
her as Ambassador to France.

Another Harriman/Bush friend is, Eugene Stetson ('34), was an assistant
manager for Prescott Bush at Brown Brothers, Harriman's New York office. He
organized the H. Smith Richardson Foundation. The foundation, in the late
1950s, participated in the MKULTRA, the CIA's domestic covert psychological
warfare operation. The Richardson Foundation helped to finance the testing of
psychotropic drugs, including LSD, at Bridgewater Hospital in Massachusetts,
the center of some of the most brutal MK-ULTRA experiments.

During the Iran-Contra operations, the H. Smith Richardson Foundation was a
"private donors steering committee," working with the National Security
Council to co-ordinate the Office of Public Diplomacy. This was an effort to
propagandize in favor of and run cover for the Iran-Contra operations, and to
coordinate published attacks on opponents of the program.

The H. Smith Richardson Foundation also runs the Center for Creative
Leadership at Langley to "train leaders of the CIA," as well as another center
near Greensboro, North Carolina, that trains CIA and Secret Service Agents.
Almost everyone who achieves the military rank of general also gets this
training.

This is just the tip of an iceberg. You also have eugenics and population
control, suppressed history and technology, yearly retreats, profitable
partnerships with brutal dictators, deals with "terrorists", the involvement
of the Knights of Malta, war-mongering and profiteering, mind-control, secret
societies for teens, ritual magic and more -- all spinning the dark threads in
the web of conspiracy that our spinning blue ball has gotten caught in.

We've got a whole new crop of "Bonesmen" coming up, including George H.W.
Bush's son George W. Bush ('68), Governor of Texas.

When Don Schollander ('68), the Olympic gold-medalist and only known Skull and
Bones member living in Portland, was contacted by Willamette Week reporter
John Schrang regarding his involvement in the Order, he said, "It's really
something I can't talk about."

Not wouldn't, but "couldn't".

In wake of Antony Sutton's first ground-breaking exposes of the Order, the
Sterling Library at Yale has refused to allow any other researchers access to
the Russell Trust papers.

Daniel Gilman, like most Bonesmen, makes no mention of Skull & Bones or the
Russell Trust in his memoirs or biographies.

So, are we all just 'fodder" for a secret society with satanic overtones that
is attempting to form a one world government with themselves at the helm? Or
is the Order of Skull and Bones just a bunch of frat boys from Yale? Wanna bet
your future on it?
