I believe that George W. a member of the club known as "Skull and Bones".
Does anyone know whether J. F. Kerry is also included in that group's membership (this was alluded to in MAD magazine, and I just got to wondering)? And if so, who is really running our nation?!

It really should be referred to as more of a spoiled rich boys' "frat" than a club, and yes John Kerry was also a member.

Yeah, they were both members.
and I'd say they are both still "members".... |

Because they come from powerful families and have been taughtt how to get information in sneaky ways.
S&B membership being sinister is more like saying that quite a few Alpha Psi Omega members go on to have careers in show business and they are secretly trying to control our children.
You want a S&B conpiracy website?

I've got it. Now I know why Fundies get a hitch in their shorts about S&B. The second website names one of the founding members of S&B in 1833 as Alphonso Taft. It was his judicial opinion in Cincinatti Board of Education v. Minor (Ohio Supreme court, 1872) which Abington v. Schempp (SCOTUS, 1963) is based on. No wonder they get their knickers in a twist, he laid the foundation for the ruling that gets them so worked up about school prayer. |

That's what I enjoy about SFN. Tidbits of neat info are always poping up. Thanks, Val!
I love a good conspiricy as much as anyone -- indeed, more than most, but I don't see much more than the tired, old Illuninati-type of blather. Been there, seen that, got bored, went home. :roll eyes:
But some fairly nasty people have been members, notably Prescott Bush, grandfather of the lout, who made a fortune aiding the Nazis.
Of course, life-long bonds are formed among members, and it will show up in their relationships later in life. For example, I wonder how many of the minions of the current administration are S&B. How many of the administration of Bush 41?
If indeed there should be a conspiricy, it's pretty nickle-and-dime. And will again be smacked down if the lout loses in Nov.

Y'know, some of our "intelligence" agencies have a tendency to old-school-tie old-boy-network recruiting that goes back a ways.
Back in WWII, an in-joke among the OSS (predecessor to the CIA) was that the acronym actually stood for "Oh So Social (or Snobbish, depending on one's status)" due to the numbers of Social Register types involved in that organization.
Wanting to associate and work with people who share one's own background seems a natural human tendency, but I can't help thinking that the people who believe that the spookery trade is best served by people from the "right" background (a' la Philby, Burgess et al) and those who yammer on Indymedia "Bush and Kerry are both Skull and Bones! They're both the same!" are making an identical mistake. |
