Kerry made his Bones in secret club - like Bush

Thursday, May 15, 2003

WASHINGTON - Sen. John F. Kerry expounds on many issues in his presidential campaign, but he's completely silent on one topic: his membership in Skull and Bones, Yale's infamous secret society.

``John Kerry has absolutely nothing to say on that subject. Sorry,'' said Kerry spokeswoman Kelley Benander.

Kerry is a respected senator and a decorated Vietnam War combat veteran, but 36 years after he was initiated into what has been called the ``ultimate old boy network,'' he's wary of breaking the ultra-exclusive club's strict secrecy code.

There's also another high-profile member of the club: President Bush.

Bonesmen already are buzzing over the prospect of the first Bones vs. Bones presidential race should Kerry win his party's nomination and face Bush in 2004.

``Bones don't care who wins,'' said author Alexandra Robbins, whose book ``Secrets of the Tomb'' pierced the secrecy shrouding the 171-year-old society. ``If Kerry wins, it's still a Bones presidency.''

Robbins calls the group ``probably the most secretive and successful club in America,'' and adds, ``It's also pretty bizarre.''

Every year, 15 Yale juniors are tapped for the club, which holds meetings twice a week in a crypt-like building known as the ``Tomb.''

Robbins described the interior, replete with skulls and skeletons, as a cross between the ``Addams Family'' and a slightly shabby English men's club.

There are bizarre initiation rites, including a ceremony where new members must spend an evening before a roaring fire in the Tomb recounting details of their sexual history to fellow members.

Kerry was tapped for the club in 1968, two years after Bush, whose father and grandfather were also Bonesmen. Kerry's brother-in-law from his first marriage, David Thorne, was Bones. So was the late husband of Kerry's current wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry. The Bones alumni roster is flush with CIA officials, business moguls, congressmen and Supreme Court justices. The club owns a secluded 40-acre island retreat on the St. Lawrence River.

In 1986, Kerry allegedly tried to recruit Jacob Weisberg, then a college-age intern at ``The New Republic'' magazine.

Weisberg, now Slate magazine editor, said Kerry made his pitch during a private meeting in his Senate office. Weisberg declined, pointedly asking Kerry how he squared his liberalism with membership in such an elitist club that refused to admit women. ``Kerry got sort of flustered and said, `I've marched with battered women,' '' Weisberg told the Herald.

Five years later, Kerry was among those voting to force the club to admit women after a bitter court fight.

"Skull and Bones is a secret fraternity at Yale University which is
restricted to a mere fifteen student members per year. The society was
formed in 1832 by General William Russell, whose shipping firm later
dominated the U.S. side of the China opium trade. Yale University was
founded by Eli Yale, who made his fortune working for the opium smuggling
British East India Company.

"Skull and Bones became the recruiting grounds and preserve of the most
important New England-centered families--families who also made their money
in the opium trade. These families, whose sons regularly join Skull and
Bones, include the little known, but powerful, Coffins, Sloanes, Tafts,
Bundys, Paynes, Whitneys. They are a dominant element of the U.S. 'Eastern
Establishment' to this day. The Bush family is one of a cluster of
lower-level Establishment families controlled by these interests.

"What has this to do with Bush policy towards China--or for that matter,
Bush's "War on Drugs"? (Note: the last television news reporter to ask Bush
a critical question concerning the many narcotics agents who are
complaining about how bad the "drug war" was going, was promptly fired from
his job shortly after the press conference - Branton)

"George Bush, the first U.S. diplomatic representative to the People's
Republic of China back in 1973, was a member of Skull and Bones. So were
his father, brother, son, uncle, nephew, and several cousins. Winston Lord,
the Reagan-Bush administration Ambassador to China was a member; so were
his father and several other relatives. James Lilley, the current
Ambassador to China, was a member of Skull and Bones, as was his brother.
Except during the Carter administration, every U.S. Ambassador to Beijing
since Kissinger's deal with Mao Zedong was a member of the same tiny Yale
cult. A mere coincidence?

"MAO WAS A YALIE - Back in 1903, Yale Divinity School established a number
of schools and hospitals throughout China that were collectively known as
'Yale in China.' It has since been shown that 'Yale in China' was an
intelligence network whose purpose was to destroy the republican movement
of Sun Yat-sen on behalf of the Anglo-American Establishment. The
Anglo-American "Establishment" hated Sun, because he wanted to develop
China. On the other hand, they loved the Chinese communists because they
intended to keep China backward, and were committed to growing dope. One of
'Yale in China's' most important students was Mao Zedong.

"During World War II, 'Yale in China' was a primary instrument used by the
U.S. Establishment and its Office of Strategic Services (OSS) to install
the Maoists into power. 'Yale in China' was run by OSS operative Reuben
Holden, the husband of Bush's cousin, and also a member of Skull and Bones.

"The Maoists made China into the world's largest opium producer.
"'Yale in China' was also closely associated with the New York-based Union
Theological Seminary, which has been a center for U.S. subversion of Asia
(literal wolves in sheeps clothing - Branton). Every prominent radical
leader operating in Korea today, for example, was trained at Union
Theological. Union Theological was dominated for twenty years by Henry
Sloane Coffin, a U.S. intelligence executive from the Sloane and Coffin
families. He was a Skull and Bones member as were a dozen of his relatives.

"Nor should it be forgotten that Averell Harriman, the former Ambassador to
Moscow who did so much to build up the Soviet Union, was a member of Skull
and Bones. Harriman was also a business partner of Prescott Bush, Sr., the
father of Maoist enthusiast George Bush."

Note: This Skull and Bones - Communist connection is also confirmed by
geopolitical and economics researchers such as Dr. Antony Sutton (Sutton's
books may be obtained through THE PATRIOT REVIEW., 33836 SE Kelso Rd. #6.,
P.O. Box 596., Boring, OR 97099; OR via THE MIDNIGHT MESSENGER., P.O. Box
472., Altadens, CA 91001). Not only did the Skull and Bones (Western
Illuminati) help to build up the Communist movement in China, but they gave
considerable financial aid to the Soviet Union communists as well.
According to Sutton, this power cult has for centuries been playing a "two
ends against the middle" type of game, attempting to control America (the
thesis) and Russia (the anti-thesis) and other countries or movements,
carefully pitting them against each other at the lower levels in order to
keep the populations of the world in a state of confusion and despair, to
the point that they will - hopefully - resign themselves into accepting the
New World Order "synthesis" as the only alternative to solve the very
"problems" which THEY, the New World Order initiators, created in the first
place! One startling, though documented, claim which Mr. Sutton makes is
that the Nazi Movement was largely financed by the Skull and Bones -
Illuminati as well. This connection was recently described in a mailer
describing Val Valerian's book MATRIX III (c/o Leading Edge Research., P.O.
Box 481-MU58., Yelm, WASH 98597). Part of this mailer states:

"Interspaced with the material comes a host of data, supplementary
material, interviews, and revealing information. The 'Final Scenario' is
discussed relative to the New World Order and the plans for total economic
control, a one-world religion, and the electronic mind control objectives,
schools of thought, and research. MATRIX III brings out in detail how
various families in the United States and Europe are also involved in a
scenario which has as its main tenet the suppression and elimination of
human beings on many levels - a scenario which includes worldwide traffic
of drugs, vast laundering of drug money by national banks of several
countries, and assassination and murder. These are the people who arranged
and supported all the wars. There is discussion of the Bush family, and how
Prescott Bush assisted the finance and management of the Nazi empire - the
so-called Hitler project..."
