If you've crossed my path along the vine, the odds are pretty good you've seen a comment about the Bonesmen. It's a topic rarely mentioned in either traditional or alternate media. Many have no clue the group exists; others have the sense that the entire subject is mired in wild conspiracy theory. Occasional inquiries about Bonesmen come my way and the last came with a suggestion that a Bonsey, information piece would be helpful. Quite a lot of information is historical fact is readily available but here's my two cents and some links in the comment box to give you some basics to start with. It's a reality that sometimes takes some adjusting to.
For one hundred and fifty one years Skull & Bones was one of the world's most powerful, secret societies. In 1983 Antony Sutton broke the silence and exposed the members, by publishing America's Secret Establishment, An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones. The landmark book is every bit, the meticulously researched, academic work that one would expect from an author of Sutton's calibre. It lists the members of each graduating class from 1832 to 1985, includes copies of documents and memorabilia like the engraved invitation for George Herbert Walker Bush's class shown here, and offers a research historian's view of their impact through the decades.
Antony Sutton was a Hoover Scholar at Stanford. He had 25 years of Soviet economic research, and 16 books under his belt, before the Bonesmen debuted in his work. His trilogy of Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development was a pivotal work, published by the Hoover Intuition at Stanford, in 1968. The volumes stand in acknowledgement of Sutton's expertise and understanding; they dovetail into his findings of the Bonesmen.
No one was more surprised than Sutton, by the world view that emerged upon discovering Skull & Bones. An anonymous member believed that things with the group had gone too far. He betrayed his oath of silence and his sworn allegiance to The Order, and lent Sutton his copy of the little black book with the handwritten names of all the members.
Sutton describes his reaction to reading the list of names, as the moment when a career of seemingly unanswerable questions, finally made sense. In the manner of a patient professor he goes to great lengths to delineate between history, conspiracy and theory as he traces their legacy. His comments at the conclusion are that if he has a magnum opus, this is it.
Every spring since 1832, fifteen new members are "tapped" or invited to join Yale's fraternity Skull & Bones. When they graduate they are given $15,000 and a position under the tutelage of another Bonesmen in government, industry or education. Their companies, careers, positions of influence and appointments reveal a wholly different view of world events once they are seen through the lens of their secret society.
Events from the Supreme Court ruling, giving corporations the rights of personhood, to the domination of intelligence operations is a bit different when it becomes an act by the group. Programs like land grant Universities take on new meaning as you see funding from taxpayers coffers directed into research supporting the Skull and Bones. It explains so many things like how ADM is thriving solely on Federal largess or why BCCI and S&L; failures of Silverado could have billions of loss to taxpayers but netted the Bush boys a tidy profit and a means to walk away.
Secrets protect their keepers. That's not conspiracy theory it is common sense. We all have information we'd rather not make public and we all know the benefit of a friend who has got your back, no questions asked. It is human nature to network with friends and build circles of trust but to what extent this fraternal, band of brothers have operated as a covert, political element, does involve a measure of theory. Examining, the now public list of members and asking how the group functioned with respect to their relative places in history gives us a good idea of how valuable the secret alliances may have been.
They officially incorporated in the State of Connecticut, as the Russell Trust Association, in 1856. Corporate records on file in Connecticut show this was amended in November of 1983 to be RTA, Incorporated. The change, concurrent with Sutton's publication suggests it may be a reaction to the book, but it does not reveal anything more than the fact that the group's charter allows for absolute secrecy. Occasional public comments by Skull & Bones members have downplayed the group and suggested it is a relatively unimportant, social part of the college experience. History says something different.
What emerges is a picture of the Bonesman as a class of corporate royalty with a golden touch and a toxic trail behind them. They hold among their members the all the secrets of Americans for nearly 200 years. From the days when Pinkertons busted unions for the Harriman railroads to the classified versions of the 9/11 report. All the operatives around the globe have been reporting to the Bonesman. They run the banks and the insurance companies, they track your titles and medications travel and education history. There are no secrets from the Bonesmen. They are the founders and rulers of America's covert operations, which run as a cooperative Wall Street-Washington corporate plan.
Bonesman Stimpson created the OSS while fellow Bonesmen at Brown Brothers Harriman and Standard oil sent their members to divide the spoils of war or preside over the media coverup of funding Hitler's operations or taking Nazis like Ghelin into their midst to run MK-Ultra mind control experiments at the CIA. How bizzare and evil does it sound to suggest that killers were secreted out of trials at Neurenberg to spread their evil from the heart of the America that died to defeat evil. How sad that Americans are the last to learn the truth.
Today's CIA is and legacy families of the Bonesmen are on the panel for every Congressional investigation and Bonesman businesses get the lion's share of taxpayer funds. Collectively the names represent so powerful a political force, that the burden of conspiracy virtually shifts to weighing the merits of treasonous charges, for violating the fundamental prohibition on secret political groups, but we'll go one step at a time.
The fraternity was born in the era of the Great Opium Wars. China was fighting to keep the drugs from ravaging their country and Britan was hell bent on moving the drugs into any of China's ports they chose. The victors of the Opium Wars were the Blue Blooded, Boston merchant families Russell and Forbes. In the wake of gaining global domination in the drug trade, the families merged their empires and ran the International Opium Cartel. There is every indication business has continued uninterrupted.
One branch of the Forbes family put down roots in China. From China Forbes would oversee operations importing opium from the Middle East and its spread into the population of China. The Russells settled in to heading American operations, using every tool and alliance necessary to ensure their control and operations thrived.
Their ships sailed beneath the flag called the Jolly Roger, which is a fairly odd name for the universal symbol of deadly contents. The Skull and Crossbones was recognised as fair warning of fatal contact; their ships and crews the most feared on the seven seas. They controlled the drug traffic from every corner of the globe. That's not theory; it's American multinational business history and an unparalleled success story rarely told.
It is history that personhood for corporations was the act of Bonesman and Supreme Court Justice
Every classified document, every official investigation, the heart of our National intelligence and the group who always need to know are the Bonesmen. They alone meet the unwritten standard to know everything and rule what is hidden from public view. In cases like Kennedy's assassination, the Warren Commission findings have been sealed for almost 50 years. What is the big secret? Ask the Bonesman what the Warren Commission could possibly have found that needs to be kept from the public nearly five decades later?
When the truth becomes the secret to protect from view we have lost the basic tenet of Constitutional freedom. That's where we are now. It isn't that government fails in so many ways but that the aim is in supporting the winners of the Opium War. The victors who have hijacked our Democracy and given us promises of protection wrapped in Star Spangled spin, have it working perfectly for them. Revenues up, secrets up, control up, unquestioned, unlimited power, priceless.
