Secret Societies, Drug
Smuggling, & Espionage
In U.S. History
Everything you always 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) --James
Buckley ('44) --Bill Buckley ('50) --Hugh Cunnigham ('34) --Hugh Wilson
('??) --Reuben Holden ('??) --Charles R. Walker ('??) Yale's 'unofficial'

Herbert Walker Bush. Bush tapped Coffin, who tapped Buckley.Some other

assistant Secretary of State in the Clinton administration --John Lilley
('??), Ambassador to China 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
Robinson, 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", Robinson
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? (c) Copyright Little
