The Skull & Bones
Society
The Skull & Bones Society has
been described as the most secretive organization in the world.
The origin of the Skull & Bones in the U.S. begins
at Yale when a group of men established an organization for the purpose of drug smuggling. Indeed, many American and European
fortunes were built on the China (opium) trade.
It still exists today only at Yale and has evolved into more an organization dedicated to the success of it's
members after leaving the collegiate world. The shape of that success can only be left to speculation.
 Some of the world's most famous and powerful men
alive today are "bonesmen," including George Bush, John Kerry, Nicholas Brady, and William F. Buckley. Other bonesmen include
Henry Luce (Time-Life), Harold Stanley (founder of Morgan Stanley), John Daniels (founder of Archer Daniels Midland), Henry
P. Davison (senior partner Morgan Guaranty Trust), Pierre Jay (first chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York), Artemus
Gates (President of New York Trust Company, Union Pacific, TIME, Boeing Company), Senator John Chaffe, Russell W. Davenport
(editor Fortune Magazine), and many others.
All have taken a solemn vow of secrecy.

America's Secret Establishment
by Antony C. Sutton, 1986, page 5-6, states:
"Those on the inside know it as The Order. Others have known it for more than 150 years as Chapter 322
of a German secret society. More formally, for legal purposes, The Order was incorporated as The Russell Trust in 1856. It
was also once known as the "Brotherhood of Death". Those who make light of it, or want to make fun of it, call it
'Skull & Bones', or just plain 'Bones'.
The American chapter of this German order was founded in 1833
at Yale University by General William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft who, in 1876, became Secretary of War in the Grant
Administration. Alphonso Taft was the father of William Howard Taft, the only man to be both President and Chief Justice of
the United States.
The order is not just another Greek letter fraternal society with passwords and handgrips common
to most campuses. Chapter 322 is a secret society whose members are sworn to silence. It only exists on the Yale campus (that
we know about). It has rules. It has ceremonial rites. It is not at all happy with prying, probing citizens - known among
initiates as 'outsiders' or 'vandals'. Its members always deny membership (or are supposed to deny membership) and in checking
hundreds of autobiographical listings for members we found only half a dozen who cited an affiliation with Skull & Bones.
The rest were silent. An interesting point is whether the many members in various Administrations or who hold government positions
have declared their members in the biographical data supplied for FBI 'background checks'.
Above all, The Order is
powerful, unbelievably powerful. If the reader will persist and examine the evidence to be presented - which is overwhelming
- there is no doubt his view of the world will suddenly come sharply into focus, with almost frightening clarity.
It
is a Senior year society which exists only at Yale. Members are chosen in their Junior year and spend only one year on campus,
the Senior year, with Skull & Bones. In other words, the organization is oriented to the graduate outside world. The Order
meets annually - patriarchies only - on Deer Island in the St. Lawrence River.
Senior societies are unique to Yale.
There are two other senior societies at Yale, but none elsewhere. Scroll & Key and Wolf's Head are supposedly competitive
societies founded in the mid-19 th century. We believe these to be part of the same network. Rosenbaum commented in his "Esquire"
article, very accurately, that anyone in the Eastern Liberal Establishment who is not a member of Skull & Bones is almost
certainly a member of either Scroll & Key or Wolf's Head.
.. The selection procedure for new members of The Order
has not changed since 1832. Each year 15, and only 15, never fewer, are selected. In the past 150 years about 2500 Yale graduates
have been initiated into The Order. At any time about 500-600 are alive and active. Roughly about one- quarter of these take
an active role in furthering the objectives of The Order. The others either lose interest or change their minds. They are
silent drop-outs.
.. The most likely potential member is from a Bones family, who is energetic, resourceful, political
and probably an amoral team player. ... Honors and financial rewards are guaranteed by the power of The Order. But the price
of these honors and rewards is sacrifice to the common goal, the goal of The Order. Some, perhaps many, have not been willing
to pay this price.
The Old Line American families and their descendants involved in the Skull & Bones are names
such as: Whitney, Perkins, Stimson, Taft, Wadsworth, Gilman, Payne, Davidson, Pillsbury, Sloane, Weyerhaeuser, Harriman, Rockefeller,
Lord, Brown, Bundy, Bush and Phelps.
