8)I can't find anything about the 8th President, Martin Van Buren.
Perhaps secret societies didn't like him as Skull and Bones Society is rumoured to have stolen his skull
One unsubstantiated rumour has it that The Tomb houses the stolen skulls of eighth president Martin van Buren (1782-1862), Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa (1878-1923) and Apache warrior Geronimo (1829-1909) - this last act of grave-robbing allegedly carried out by Prescott Bush, George HW's father, in 1918 - while others centre around its supposed ambitions for world domination.

While some may laugh, a skull and bones used as a ballot Box came up for auction a few years back:-

Frankly I never know what he's talking about, it's always hand drawn charts trying to link everything to everything.

These stars as I am sure you know are representative of the Gods of Freemasonary (ISIS and Osiris)
Actually, no, I don't know that, mostly owing to the fact that you made that up.
It is the consensus of opinion among Masonic authorities, philosophers and writers of doctrine that the legend of Hiram Abiff is merely the Masonic version of a much older legend, that of Isis and Osiris, basis of the Egyptian Mysteries. The following is a brief summary of that legend, and a comparison with the Masonic legend of Hiram Abiff. This comparison is supported, beyond doubt, by the conclusions of the Masonic authorities.
1) "The legend and traditions of Hiram Abiff form the consummation of the connecting link between Freemasonry and the Ancient Mysteries." (Pierson, "Traditions of Freemasonry," p. 159)
"We readily recognize in Hiram Abiff the Osiris of the Egyptians…" (Pierson, p. 240)
Osiris and the Tyrian Architect (Hiram Abiff) are one and the same." (Sickles, Daniel, "Freemason's Guide." p. 236#

The difference is people on here who know me in real life can attest to the fact that I'm a Mason and I can also post a pic of my dues card. You on the other hand have nothing to show for what you say as evidenced by the quotes and how you conflate them.
