The Order Of The Skull and Bones and NWO

SKULL AND BONES MEMBER LIST(partial)

I made this post in the topic by Deltachaos requesting a list of bonesmembers. I am repeating it here as a seperate thread, because I feel it sheds a lot of illumination on the NWO.

The NWO is generally believed to be a succession of events, orchestrated by a clandestine group to establish a one world government. Not much is known about this clandestine group and how long it has been operating.
It is my contention that this organization is the Illumanti, a satanic organization that been operating for hundreds/thousands of years and skull and bones is one if it's biggest pillars.

This Illumanti has operated across the ages through these elite satanic socities. The Skull and Bones is in fact the modern version of the Order of the Dragon, which was also founded to influence politics, of which Dracula was an esteemed member. In fact as I have discovered recently, Bush and Kerry, both S&B members, are also related to Dracula.

I have collated a list of S&B member and painstreakingly researched the positions they have held across the spectrum of fields of political, economic and other fields of influence. Here are my foundings:

Conclusions:

The research has shown that S&B indeed have a monopoly over economic and political power across an entire spectrum of fields, the more prominient being government, banking and education. Also shown is how initation in S&B is based on a nepotistic elite bloodline system, where certain families dominate the most powerful positions and network amongst each other. Some of the members not accounted for, yet listed officially, are Republicans, democrats, cabinet members of previous administrations, and other government position holders.

The biggest shock is that S&B has also infiltrated the entire faculty of Yale and other colleges and the media. It would not be an overstatement to state that S&B is the most powerful and insidious organization in the world. To claim this to be a college fraternity would be simple mindedness of the highest order. The facts clearly show that the S&B is an elite satanic cult, that pre-selects it's members on bloodlines and who remain members for life.

Research into S&B members will show a lot of sinister and foul play, from funding and directing all the wars, Vietnam, Korean, world wars. Links with Nazis, Stalin, Saddam, Khomenai, Osama Bin Laden, and a lot of support for fascism. The S&B members have been the driving force behind the NWO.

As much as this all belies belief, no one can overlook the fact that a single organization, that practices satanic rituals has controlled and orchestrated everything in the world for hundreds of years. A further proof of this comes from George Washington's acknowledgement to a conspiracy by the "Illumananti"

John Robison, a professor of natural philosophy at Edinburgh University in Scotland and a member of a Freemason Lodge,

said that he was asked to join the Illuminati. After study, he concluded the purposes of the Illuminati were not for him.

In 1798, he published a book called "Proofs Of A Conspiracy":

"An association has been formed for the express purpose of rooting out all the religious establishments and overturning all

the existing governments.... the leaders would rule the World with uncontrollable power, while all the rest would be employed

as tools of the ambition of their unknown superiors."

"Proofs of A Conspiracy" was sent to George Washington. Responding to the sender of the book with a letter, the president

said he was aware the Illuminati were in America. He felt that the Illuminati had "diabolical tenets" and that their object

was "a separation of the People from their government."

In "Proofs Of A Conspiracy", Robison printed the ceremony of initiation of the "Regent degree" in Illuminism. In it "a

skeleton is pointed out to him [the initiate], at the feet of which are laid a crown and a sword. He is asked 'whether that is the skeleton of a king, nobleman or a beggar.' As he cannot decide, the president of the meeting says to him, 'The

character of being a man is the only one that is importance'".

This is, essentially, the same as the writing in the Skull & Bones "tomb":

"Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser?
Ob Arm, ob Reich, im Tode gleich."

Which reads:

"Who was the fool, who the wise man, beggar or king?
Whether poor or rich, all's the same in death."

To think that all these men and women have gone through satanic rituals and worshipped death. It really does make you question whether anything is real anymore.

Nice list there. I think the presidents are the ones we need to worry about [the current one mainly] and what they could be doing.

Somehting I know is that Skull & Bones came from Germany and appears to be an Illuminati Cell, Chapter 322...

I would be interested to see you linkage theory for the Illuminati.

I am not questioning it, and agree that there may well be, but I have never found a true linkage myself.

Indigo have you read "Rule by Secrecy" by Jim Marrs?

the taft family has some major influence on my town. well, at least it seems like everything is named after them

great work on the list, can you elaborate on;

The Skull and Bones is in fact the modern version of the Order of the Dragon, which was also founded to influence politics, of which Dracula was an esteemed member. In fact as I have discovered recently, Bush and Kerry, both S&B members, are also related to Dracula.

you state "in fact", can you document this with something other than you found it on the internet ? recorded quotes, pictures, interviews you conducted personally.....




you conclude,
The research has shown that S&B indeed have a monopoly over economic and political power across an entire spectrum of fields, the more prominient being government, banking and education

how do 3 presidents constitute a monopoly ? please explain how reagan, clinton, nixon, carter et al all got into power without S&B connections.

You dont need to be part of The Order of The Skull and Bones to become a candidate for presidency. You must be affiliated with one of their brother organizations, such as the Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission, or be a Rhodes scholar ect... I cant prove this, but Jim Marrs proves alot of that in his book that Im reading, "Rule By Secrecy" which is a VERY elaborate book.

Please don't get me wrong, living in CT I am very interested in S&B, and I believe there is an invisible power structure propped up by bankers and the like (rothschilds), I just have a "pet peeve" with posters declaring things as fact without anything to back it up but links to a book or a website. If the original poster framed it as a thoery, I wouldn't have asked for any back-up

you state "in fact", can you document this with something other than you found it on the internet ? recorded quotes, pictures, interviews you conducted personally.....

It is entirely speculative, in fact on second thought it is quite unfounded, but I personally feel there is a connection in some way.

1. The Order Of The Dragon was created in 1408 by the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund (while he was still king of Hungary) . It was an elite royal society creates to protect the Roman imperial interests and to forge secret alliances to defend Christianity and battle against its's enemies - the turks. The original Order comprised twenty-four members of the nobility, each member known as draconis, including such notable figures as King Alfonso of Aragon and Naples, and Stefan Lazarev of Serbia, and the Vlad, who was called dracul(dragon/devil) father of the infamous Dracula(son of the dragon/devil)

At that time, imperialism, depotism anf tyranny was the norm and history is written by the victorious. So it is hard to say whether the Order Of the Dragon was trully a satanic group. Yet, what can be said it's principal purpose was to launch Christian crusades against the Turks and Ottoman empire. In other words, it was established for wars for religion.

A lot of the modern vampire and satanic culture idolize Dracula and the Order Of the Dragon which also figure in the satanic bible.

Bush and Kerry, according to geneologists are related to Dracula, through the royals of windsor

These secret socities that form the Illumanti go by many names throughout the ages. I believe The Order Of The Dragon was one of them. It was a shortlived society though.

you conclude,
The research has shown that S&B indeed have a monopoly over economic and political power across an entire spectrum of fields, the more prominient being government, banking and education

how do 3 presidents constitute a monopoly ? please explain how reagan, clinton, nixon, carter et al all got into power without S&B connections.

Three presidents each coming from a tiny elite secret society is by no means something to be dismissed. However, I never claimed, this is why it has a monopoly over power. This is not a case of all or none. The president is only a representative of the administration.

Did you miss the other members? Which includes: Senators, CIA directors, Bilderbergs, CFR members(the founders of UN) cabinet ministers, democrats and republicans, presidential candidtates, supreme courts judges, tycoons, uber-rich bankers, media empire founders, an entire faculty of Yale professors. Then note the families which are some of the most powerful and influential in the world. In the list, I also mentioned a few Warburgs, Rockefeller and Rothchilds, who pretty much own the Federal Reserves.

That means a monopoly over power, economy and education. I don't think anyone can deny the kind of power S&B members command. They have been involved in everything in our recent world history. From the Opium wars, funding of Hitler and Nazi's, and the weaponization of Saddam Hussain, Taliban and Osama Bin Laden to the creation of the United Nations.

Indigo_Child gets my vote

i dunno indigo child...the links between those people are rather far fetched. it's blatantly obvious that everyone with power nowadays has some old monetary connection to something. i think it's more related to oil and what is of importance in this day and age.

i wonder if modern society has weakened the infrastructure and rules of the S&B, Freemasons, etc. leaving them nothing but whores for money and land. their plans of world domination fell apart when america introduced the life of true lazy luxury to everyone

I tried to tell my ex-pastor that his Hero, Dubya, had been a Bonesman. His reply was that it was a lie spun by the liberal media.

What-EVER.
