secret societies of america's elite
There is a They. They rule the government. They control the media. They run the corporations. And they didn’t get that power overnight. Elite and secret societies have always been a major force in the history of Western civilization. Secret Societies of America's Elite traces alliances formed in secret societies such as the Knights Templar back to their earliest days. When the Templars were arrested, tried, executed and apparently dissolved, they didn’t go away, they just regrouped.
As Pirates ...
Underground, the Templar navy that flew the Skull and Bones as a battle flag took to piracy. Their fleets, the largest in the world, freely preyed on merchant shippers from the Indian Ocean to the American coast – for hundreds of years.
As Smugglers ...
When the “golden age” of piracy lost its glow, smuggling replaced the lucrative trade. Regrouped in Masonic lodges, sea captains and ship owners defied Britain’s right to make rules that effected trade. When mason and wealthy merchant John Hancock saw his ship’s seized, events from the Boston Tea Party to the assault on tax agents was organized by lodge brothers.
As Slave Traders ...
With no trade laws, smuggling was less profitable, so mason ship owners from Boston to Charleston, linked by lodges and marriage turned to “blackbirding”. The profits of the trade in human cargo launched the bank, textile and insurance industries still dominated by a handful who built their fortunes in the trade.
As Drug Traffickers ...
When presidential assassinations, and even civil war could not stop the demise of the slave trade, merchants found a more lucrative commodity. From Boston, New York and Philadelphia ships plied the Turkey-India-China route to trade in opium. Fleets of opium traders ran the Skull & Crossbones flag that had flown over the Templar ships. Opium money would build and fund the universities that are called Ivy League today. Opium built railroads and even funded the American telecommunications industry.
Skull & Bones Today ...
Sir Walter Scott once used the phrase “as haughty as a Templar”. Today this phrase applies to those who exercise the control the Templars once dreamed of. Fifteen scions of America’s richest families are inducted into a secret society each year. They are endowed with money and a million dollars worth of connections. Their names are Bush, Cheney, Forbes (as in John Forbes Kerry), Taft, Luce, and Whitney. Members of Skull & Bones will be on both sides of the issues. They were both for and against the Vietnam War, they are liberal and conservative. They have the money, they have the power, and they have only one goal. To keep it that way.
The “system” will perpetuate itself as long as the men with Skeletons in the Closet run it.
