- 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' Secretary of War --Robert
D. French ('10) --Archibald MacLiesh ('15) --Dino Pionzio ('50), CIA Deputy
Chief of Station during Allende 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 ('08), founder of Morgan Stanley,

Howe Bradford ('34), husband of Carol Warburg Rothschild and general manager
for the New York Times --C. E. Lord ('49), Comptroller of the Currency
--Winston Lord ('59), Chairman of CFR, Ambassador to China and 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 Red Hen, 1996 Bibliography George Bush: * George
