Here we go again, a thread overun and corrupted by another secret sociey that is not in the subject of the thread. Scull & Bones here, stay on topic.
Maybe the discussion changes because Skull and Bones IS NOT 'worth talking about'.

Ever wonder why Freemasonry uses the letter G in the middle of the compass & square? Even George Washington was quoted as saying he didn't know why.

Not something to be proud of, SEBATWERK. oh, I get it. Like KRAFTWERK. Maybe you do know more than George Washington. At least you think you do.
Actually I know EXACTLY why we have a "G" In the middle of the square and compass, and the reason you gave is 100% wrong. The G stands for Geometry, and is the ineffable name of God. Of course you won't buy that, because that explanation would be too simple for your twisted theories.
Riiiiight, I THINK I know what it means, but only YOU know the truth, right? Get real.

As I understand it, only the 'inner circle' initiates that are privy to the innermost teachings of Freemasonry & its secrets-
are told the 'secret' that the 'G' stands for Gnostic...amoung other ancient masonic teachings not made accessable to the other members.
But since I'm not an actual mason, and just because I've studied masonic texts, history & lore- what would I know, right?
T.S.

G is the 7th letter of the alphabet. So thats the mystical number. You are effectively paying tribute to 7 as much as you are to the letter G...

It takes some TWISTED logic to think that paying tribute to a letter means paying tribute to the number position it occupies in the alphabet. That's ridiculous!!! It makes absolutely no sense at all, and shows how warped your sense of reason is.

Heh. Tell that to a qabbalist, or someone who actually studies the jewish language, and they will laugh in your face. However twisted this may seem to you, letters used to also represent numbers. Of course, then again, these people are taught to see things that you and I can't. Just one more thing about ancient language that few people know. Pike knew. I know you're probably tired of hearing from this fossil, but he was an expert in arcane languages.

But then, much more telling is the letter M. Why is it not front and center? Well, you see, there is actually another marker for that. A TradeMARK, if you will.
You see, those most often used letters T and M, are the 20th and 13th letters, respectively.
Giving us 33 for the Masonic Trademark.

Thesis: The SS when crumbled by the force of the U.S. army in WWII, went underground and have infiltrated the united states government through skull and bones.
Wow, this post is epic. Inspired by a late night history channel marathon, i bring you this, which will hopefully spawn some good questions and answers.
Before we start, I must emphasize that the skull and bones society has no ties to masonry, and there haven't been any masons in the white house for quite a while. But when was the last election where we had a non-skull and bones president?

Again, I think Sabatwerk's opinion is a bit off. Some jobs (especially the important ones) require close scrutiny- even going beyond the obligatory 'pee test' & criminal background check. That may all that is needed to qualify for a job a "Home Depot" or "Wal-Mart" etc... But usually most jobs that require a more substantial background check to obtain employment accompanying the appropriate security clearance, quite a bit beyond that cursory check is done.
Rest assured, a more expansive background check gathers nearly every aspect of an individuals life and is scrutenized in minute detail. The more critiacl the job & required clearance, the greater scrutiny. Friends, family & aquaintances are checked. Past school teachers, college professors are consulted. Interviews are done. Your lifestyle, habits, income & assets are explored. Known weaknesses within your family in regard to mental illnesses & physical health are noted. Also included under scrutiny- are your influances, associations & fraternities.
That is absolutely untrue. Background checks are only able to verify whatever is a matter of public record. It is ILLEGAL for an employer to intrude upon your PRIVATE LIFE. I cannot be discriminated by my fraternal associations, personal friendships or private dealings, just like I cannot be discriminated by my religion or sexual preference.
