Dangers of Skull & Bones
It is all too tempting to view Skull & Bones as a breeding ground for future 
recruits into the Illuminati or conversely, more overt societies such as the 
Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations or even (as amply 
demonstrated by this chapter) the CIA. It seems that given the vast links and 
behavior of Skull & Bones alumni, one would be hard-pressed to find an outfit 
more smug about their elitism, secrecy and implication in a tangled web of 
conspiracy and duplicity at the highest levels of American political intrigue; a
smugness and arrogance the organization has done little to dispel in the 180-plus
years of their existence.
During the Regent degree of the Illuminati, the candidate, after being directed
to a skeleton, is asked “
Whether there lies the body of a king, nobleman, or
beggar?
” His expected answer is that “
The character of being a man is the only
one that is of importance.
”
The legend engraved on the inner chamber of the Skull & Bones Tomb reads:
“
Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser? Ob Arm, ob Reich, im

---

Tode gleich.
”
A rough translation of which is, “
Who was the fool, who the wise man, beggar
or king? Whether poor or rich, all's the same in death.
”
