Secret Societies, Geronimo & CNN

Published Thursday, July 20, 2006 by Nate | E-mail this post

I posted a video earlier of a speech by John F. Kennedy where he discusses Secret Societies and Freedom of the Press. It got me thinking so I dug deeper and was able to come up with some interesting stuff. This piece aired on CNN back in May and has never been re-broadcasted as they do with so many other of their snack-size segments. And the related info and all references on CNN's website showing proof of the claims and assertions in this segment have been scrubbed from their site.


If you Google Skull and Bones, it's fascinating the information it returns. Some of it is a bit over the top but the premise of the entire concept of such an organization is terrifying. It is the very thing that JFK was warning about in his speech.

Skull & Bones' membership list reads like a Who's Who of History's power elite. It includes President Bush, his father and former President GHW Bush as well as Senator's, Supreme Court Justices, Cabinet Secretaries, Ambassadors and endless Capt's of Industry.

There have been several books about this organization and Secret Societies in general but the one that seems to have cracked the "Code of Silence" more than any other is "Secrets of the Tomb" by Alexandra Robbins. She interviewed over 100 'bonesman' (and was hung up, threatened or generally shunned by hundreds more). I just ordered it and I'm looking forward to reading more. Here's an excerpt from it:
Sometime in the early 1830s, a Yale student named William H. Russell - the future valedictorian of the class of 1833 - traveled to Germany to study for a year. Russell came from an inordinately wealthy family that ran one of the United States' most despicable business organizations of the nineteenth century: Russell and Company, an opium empire. Russell would later become a member of the Connecticut State Legislature, agGeneral in the Connecticut National Guard, and the founder of the Collegiate and Commercial Institute in New Haven. While in Germany, Russell befriended the leader of an insidious German secret society that hailed the death.s head as its logo. Russell soon became caught up in this group, itself a sinister outgrowth of the notorious eighteenth century society of the Illuminati. When Russell returned to the U.S., he found an atmosphere so anti-Masonic that even his beloved Phi Beta Kappa, the honor society, had been unceremoniously stripped of its secrecy. Incensed, Russell rounded up a group of the most promising students in his class - including Alphonso Taft, the future Secretary of War, Attorney General, Minister to Austria, Ambassador to Russia, and father of future President William Howard Taft - and out of vengeance constructed the most powerful secret society the United States has ever known.
Hasn't the world had enough of Secret Governments?
