The skull and bones thing is really not as impressive as it sounds. People like to think it's all "eyes wide shut" and ****, but it's really just most of the alpha male / campus figures self-selecting each other. It shouldn't be any shock that the same guys that stand out as having leadership potential on the best campuses in the country, go on to be our highest level politicians, bankers, and lawyers.
Yes, it does help the climb up the ladder, but so do the connections from simply going to an Ivy league school. Secret societies are that much more of a boost, because someone higher up knows that the candidate has been vouched for by people HE selected in the past.
Sure, it's basically a frat.
However, there is a dirty history of war mongering among bonesmen.
Kerry is not going to be any differant than Bush, he'll just be smoother speaking.
So you know enough to spout some tidbit of info, but still want to just pass the whole thing off as "conspiracy theory".
That term was surely coined simply to pass off public suspicions of "high society connectedness".
Look at the facts, look at the famillies, trace some damn flow of power through history. I've got just a 5 minute bike ride and a $40 entry fee to take a look at Vanderbuilt familly pictures to see how inbred power tends to be.
Sure, there are checks and balances within the system, and everyone contributes in their own way to world events, but some folks have the power game figured out (by virtue of birth) better than others.
If you don't see the significance of two fraternaty brothers (of one of the most significant fraternaties at that) being the prime candidates for the presidencial election of the United States this year....well, you are just plane ignorant by choice and content with giving in to "the illusion" (as Noam would put it).
Originally posted by LordOpie I'm confused, how is this any different than the history of man? Hasn't it always been that way... a few families/groups control the world?

"Well it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there is a secret soceity of the five wealthiest people in the world,known as.....The Pentaverate, who run everything in the world...including the newspapers... and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado known as......The Meadows. It consists of....The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothchilds and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Ahhhh....I hated the Colonel with his wee beady eyes and that smug look on his face..."
So you're not going to answer the question about how this group is unique? You're just gonna throw out conspiracy BS without even pretending to support your position?
