- 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. George 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

overthrow --Richard A. Moore ('3?) --Senator David Boren ('63) --Senator John
Kerry ('??) --William and McGeorge Bundy ...and, of course, George Herbert
Walker Bush. Bush tapped Coffin, who tapped Buckley.Some other prominent
Bonesmen include: --Henry Luce ('20), Time-Life --John Thomas Daniels ('??),
founder Archer Daniels Midland --Gifford Pinchot ('89), President Theodore
Roosevelt's chief forester --Frederick E. Weyerhaeuser ('96) --Harold Stanley

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 Red Hen, 1996 Bibliography George
