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.
What are the odds of a small society that admits only 15 members a year, having three of their embers become US presidents? Infinitesimally small. Yet three presidents – Taft, Bush and Bush were (and are) members. As small as these odds are, what are the odds of two Skull & Bones members running against each other for president? Obviously even smaller, yet John Forbes Kerry as the lead Democrat and George W. Bush as the lead Republican may face off in the next election.
In that situation, any outcome has Skull & Bones winning and America seemingly dominated by a tiny elite membership based at Yale University.
