-At the turn of the century, the notion of the Ubermensch (superman) was taken up by many philosophers, notably Friedrich Nietzsche. It also found favour with the peddlers of a perverted form of Darwinism: another Englishman, the philosopher Houston Stewart Chamberlain, believed in the racial superiority of the 'Aryan' people who inhabited northern Europe.
This struck a chord with the Thule Society. Its members identified the Teuton tribes who, in AD 9, had defeated the Roman legions in the Teutoburg forest as descendants of the lost super-race of Hyperborea-Thule, guardians of the secrets of vril.
-An ancient Indian symbol of good luck, the swastika was also the traditional symbol of Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and was favoured by German neo-pagan movement of the early 20th century, who called it the Hakenkreutz. In similar fashion, the Hakenkreutz was adopted by the Thule Society, whose members, like the neo-pagans, had a strong anti-Christian streak.
The Ahnenerbe's overriding task was to provide scientific, anthropological and archaeological evidence to support the theories of the Thule Society and, in so doing, determine the origins of the 'Aryan' race.[1]
"It's too secret to talk about" is all that George W Bush, DC '68, and John Kerry, JE '66, have said to the American people about their membership in Skull & Bones. It's all they can say. As Bonesmen, their lips are sealed by the code of silence that has shrouded the activities of this Yale-based secret society for the past 170 years. The six-word wall of silence thrown up by America's Republican president and his top Democratic rival raises a question. To whom are these leaders accountable? To the American people or to the secretive organization that quietly paves their ways to the White House?

As promised, Allen Dulles delivered the Nazi Intelligence unit to the CIA, which later opened many umbrella projects stemming from Nazi mad research. (MK-ULTRA / ARTICHOKE, OPERATION MIDNIGHT CLIMAX) Military Intelligence "cleansed" the files of Nazi references. By 1955, more than 760 German scientists had been granted citizenship in the U.S. and given prominent positions in the American scientific community. Many had been longtime members of the Nazi party and the Gestapo, had conducted experiments on humans at concentration camps, had used slave labor, and had committed other war crimes. In a 1985 expose in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Linda Hunt wrote that she had examined more than 130 reports on Project Paperclip subjects”

The Order is a world unto itself in which he will have a new name and fourteen new blood brothers, also with new names." When Rosenbaum starts to enquire about The Order he is told: "They don't like people tampering and prying. The power of Bones is incredible. They've got their hands on every lever of power in the country. You'll see - it's like trying to look into the Mafia. Remember, they're secret society too."

So what about the 8 years Clinton was in office? He's not a Bonesman. Bob Dole isn't one either, so in 1996 no Bonesmen were running. Al Gore went to Havard, so ~50% of the 2000 election was Bonesman free. Furthermore, an oath of silence doesn't necessarily mean a constant, unending sworn alligence to Skull and Bones. What I mean is, I am in a sorority and I am sworn to silence on our ritual, but that doesn't mean that my sorority requires me to obey them at all costs. I doubt Skull and Bones was/is dictating what the Oval Office should do. Also, old soceities like this are very, very hard to change. Skull and Bones was founded in 1832, way before Hitler was a twinkle in anyone's eye. I highly doubt S&B would change their whole soceity to fit the goals of somone who appeared over 100 years after they did.

Good call M.A. on his S&B nickname, kind of odd huh?

No big deal? With all do respect seb, these are our politicians for crying out loud. George bush will not, talk about S&B. Doesn't that seem weird to you? This seriously violates democracy, having two candidates from the same secret society. I would think that this was something important to bush.
Unless...his daddy pushed him into it. Maybe he didn't want to go, maybe he is the manchurian candidate for "the carlyle group"
There are a lot of what-if's. I just don't like how much secrecy shrouds thier organization, compared to the masons (which is little to none).

I guess you're right, I really wouldn't want people prying into my buisness. but...
It is a question of public scrutiny. I beleive that these peole have accepted this job, and that I as well as you seb are thier interviewers, as well as thier boss. They are public servants. We pay them. If a compay has the right to make me take a drug test and inquire about a criminal past, then why cant I have the ability to question a president's devotion to his country? As well as veify and completely check his background. After all this isn't a grocery store, this is America, take your gvernment seriously. It was created by the people for the people, and you seem to demonstrate that we should think otherwise.
People hide thier greatest, and deepest secrets far away from the public eye, in private, personal settings, with trusted people only.

Well, put, but in your analogy, who are the parents? Are they in contol of these "spoiled kids?" The secret society itself? Why was this society created to begin with, what are the foundations?

Where was George at these meetings? I think it may have benefitted his speaking ability.
Do you have any good links, that aren't written by some crazy conspirator. Basically I am asking if you have links to this information.
Skull and Bones is an odd name for a debate club. And just out of curiosity, do a majority of thier mambers actually compete on the Yale debae team. I know Kerry did, but I am having trouble matching most of the names of the members of S&B to any debate related activity.
