Let's make an S&B thread. Let's start from my own collection at <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Skull_and_Bones">demopedia.democraticunder..._and_Bones</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>The Order of Skull & Bones is a secret society at Yale. It was founded in 1832 by General William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft as a super secret society for the elite children of the Anglo-American Wall Street banking establishment. Only 15 seniors are picked each year. They are required as a part of their initiation ceremony to lie naked in a coffin and recite their sexual history.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>History of the name/group</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>The use of Skull and Bones is a popular symbol. It means 'death before dishonour'. It is also meant to intimidate the enemy. To show the enemy the black flag meant you were not taking prisoners.<br><br>William H. Russell - the future valedictorian of the class of 1833 - traveled to Germany to study for a year. 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. (...) 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.<br><br>The men called their organization the "Brotherhood of Death," or, more informally, "The Order of Skull and Bones." They adopted the numerological symbol 322 because their group was the second chapter of the German organization, founded in 1832. They worshipped the goddess Eulogia, celebrated pirates, and covertly plotted an underground conspiracy to dominate the world.<br><br>The Legend of Skull and Bones by Alexandra Robbins<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Death Rituals and Perverse Sexual Interrogation</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>At a number of private US colleges there are "secret societies" where the children of the rich form hidden and often snobbish cliques, to establish lifelong networks of advantage. Some of these groups practise bizarre initiations, regular group bonding ceremonies with weird mumbo-jumbo rituals, and the usual extreme horseplay of overprivileged adolescents with time on their hands. Of all these the most powerful and secretive is the Skull and Bones Society of Yale.<br><br>Founded by the scion of an opium trader, Skull and Bones is notorious for its focus on death rituals and perverse sexual interrogation. The group houses a collection of stolen skulls and other macabre objects - reputedly including Hitler's silverware - in its windowless headquarters in New Haven, Connecticut, a building known to members as the Tomb. Outsiders are never permitted entry, and those attempting to investigate Skull and Bones may be discouraged by subtle or less than subtle means.<br><br>The Skull and Bones society is immensely wealthy. For example it possess its own private island (Deer Island) with an exclusive "retreat", and owns much property at Yale. Members include many leading corporate and financial figures, senior lawyers and justices, some ranking FBI and CIA personnel (the CIA has been a haven of Bonesmen), and politicians. Both President's Bush are "Patriarchs" (graduate members) of Skull and Bones, many of whose alumni have assisted and protected their family's rise from the days of Prescott Bush at Yale. "Bonesmen", as with similar networks, are sworn to assist each other wherever possible in life. However in the real world they sometimes become enemies or even political rivals.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.e-book.com.au/electionspecial04.htm">www.e-book.com.au/electionspecial04.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> Copyright c.

It is unclear whether it is the CIA who has owns Skull and Bones or the other way around. Since the real mission of the CIA is to suppress democracy for the masses whenever they collide with the interests of the elite - whether it is the government or the select number of corporations which dominate the world - and the mission of Skull and Bones is to become to elite who rules the sheeple/masses, their objectives are the same.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Member list</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lord_visionary/list_skull_and_bones.htm">www.geocities.com/lord_vi..._bones.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>George W.
