The story begins at Yale,
where 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 merged with the Perkins (Boston)
syndicate in 1830 and became the primary American opium smuggler. 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. Some say 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, he acquired funding for
Yale's science departments (Sheffield Scientific School) and 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 John 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 the "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 bringing Dick on board 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."

Clinton administration
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 one of the largest producers and
users 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
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. One of the
largest makers 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 plans 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.
In 1785, a bolt of
lightning struck a courier en route 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."
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?
"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 ('51) 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 U.S. 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, 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?
