funds directed to the University for their own usage and that there was a
disproportionate tendency for its alumni to be selected for key positions in
finance over other Yale graduates. More serious criminal charges have been
lodged against the group, alleging that grave-robbing was a regular initiation
practice for prospective candidates and that the group currently houses the
remains of Apache leader Geronimo (it is widely held that U.S. Senator and
known Bonesman Prescott Bush—father and grandfather
of future presidents
George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush respectively, themselves also known
Skull & Bones members—was responsible for the theft),
former President
Martin van Buren and Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa.
Still others have lodged the allegations that rape and kidnapping are also
commonplace initiatory trials prospective candidates
are expected to undertake
in order to prove both their worthiness as well as their identifiably “elite” natures
as future leaders in the fields of politics and industry by placing themselves
outside the confines of the law, silencing their victims with immeasurably deep
funds. “
Rape is so commonplace on campuses to begin with
,” alleges one victim,
“
that even on Yale you’re going to find it. But with Bonesmen it’s different.
They truly think they’re above the law. And with all the money that floats in and
out of the Tomb, you start wonder maybe that really is the case.
” Or, as one
former member put it in a 1977 article, “
It’s like trying to look into the Mafia.
Remember, they’re a secret society, too
.”
However, allegations and hearsay are one thing. Proven chains—based not
on conjecture, but verifiable documentation—reveal a curious web of nepotism
and cronyism that unquestionably link Skull & Bones to other groups previously
covered in this book, confirming the group’s reputation of manipulation,
favoritism and exclusivity.
One of the co-founders of the Council on Foreign Relations was Secretary of
State under Theodore Roosevelt Elihu Root. While serving as a state attorney,
Root hired a Bonesman named Henry Stimson to serve on his council. Stimson
later went on to serve as Secretary of War under fellow Bonesman William
Howard Taft, and eventually Secretary of State under Herbert Hoover—himself
a co-founder of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Stimson was eventually
nominated as Secretary of War a second time, serving under two presidents—
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (whose links to the Illuminati were explored in
Chapter Three) and Harry S. Truman (a known Freemason)—during America’s
entry into World War II, where he was one of the leading advocates not only for
war against Germany but also the construction of the atomic bomb.
Stimson’s point man for the Pentagon for the Manhattan Project (which
oversaw the development of the atomic bomb) was a fellow Bonesman named
Harvey Hollister Bundy. Bundy’s two sons, William and McGeorge—both also
notable members of Skull & Bones—later went on the serve key roles as CIA
and foreign affairs advisors to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson during
America’s entrance into the Vietnam conflict.
Not surprisingly, both also went
on to hold key roles in the Council on Foreign Relations (William Bundy was
editor of the Council’s publication
