Closing comment by Keith

"And to the democracy out there, good night and good luck"

(as he throws his wadded piece of paper)

lol. no comment.

Seems like a lame boys club to me... ewww they even let in girls now.. <sarcasm>

blah

Look how many have been President of the US and corporate mogals. They ain't nothing like the Boy Scouts.

Hello....

Lots of people who go to Yale end up high up in politics or in the corporate world.

Aren't their people in your nurse's union that aren't particularly nice? That are mean, that do bad things? That you don't agree w or like? I think that is true of any organization. Apparently JK was not to hot on GWB and his pals there.

They "network". The book states that bonesmen THEMSELVES are the ones that start many of the conspiracy rumors.

But I've seen the author's website, and I have to say -- she is HOT!!!

She probably could gotten famous just on her looks :evilgrin:

Damn misogynist men anyway

Holy shit is she hot! LOL...

No offense to the beautiful people but she doesn't fit the stereotype of what intelligent deep digging reporters would look like. Especially authors who male or female, tend to not be the greatest looking people either... (I'll lob one at myself here and say I have a better shot at being an author than a TV personality!)

Anyways, wow.

I may pick up the book though just to smarten up on the subject because as an area coordinator I was dealing with a ton of questions on this topic and it's not exactly like Kerry wants to answer anything that lops him into the same category as Bush especially when it's clear Kerry detests the man and Kerry seems to view the club as a Fraternal thing more than others who seem to keep the club a sacred close to the heart secret.

I bet she stroked more than their ego's to get access to some of this information. :)

I have never wanted to be Skull and Bones more in my life... :)

The problem with Alexandra Robbins is that she is also a secret society member, although she claims she's disassociated with them.
She is fun to listen to, but I wonder if she is trying to make Skull and Bones seem more silly, rather than to point out that it is a dangerous alliance of people with political/business/media power, who are working towards the centralization of wealth and power. She discusses more about the weird rituals, the mystique, the silliness, and other surface details. It's all very interesting, and theres some informative and creepy stuff there...but sometimes I find she too quickly dismisses the elite power network that is skull and bones.

I do believe that, like a cult, Skull and Bones has intense brainwashing and mindcontrol techniques. I believe that, like the mafia, there are some pretty serious oaths made. (Also, I must admit that I am a witch, myself, so I belive in magical arts...but I don't find it necessary to even go there when I question what the truth is behind skull and bones).

I am more concerned that the secrecy and allegiances are used as a means of centralizing wealth and power. I am worried that, because of secrecy, we can never understand the allegiances the members have. How can a president, who should have allegiance to the United States first and foremost, have some allegiance to a secret organizations that is so secret we can't know what the oath exactly is?

Don't be surprised if this is a limited hangout type of thing, or a misinformation campaign -- a way to make skull and bones seem like an indulgent conspiracy-theory, or "tinfoil hatism". And, from what I understand, Skull and Bones IS a conspiracy -- a bunch of elite people who are secretly plotting to advance their own interests at the sake of everyone elses IS a conspiracy. (Maybe its theoeretical, because its secret and we are not allowed to know about what goes on in the organization)

What is important about skull and bones is that they have members who are high in the media. So, you can expect propaganda. They are also connected closely to the C.I.A., I believe, so I'm sure that they are quite sophisticated when it comes to psy-ops.

Members of skull and bones have been involved in things such as war profiteering opium trading, oil, the military-industrial complex, and the grave robbing of Geronimo's skull, which is still at the "tomb" and has not been returned to the Native Americans. Its important to understand the ethical problems and history that this organization and its members have had. There is also the matter of exclusionism and elitism, which is based in classism, sexism, racism and a complete disregard to the principles of social justice and social equality. It's a very un-democratic organization.

These are serious matters of concern, which most of us can agree on, that can and SHOULD be addressed without worrying too much about initiation rites, death worship and mysticism.

very interesting.
