Topic: Skull and Bones

I'm sure that many people on this site know that G.W. Bush and John Kerry are both members of Skull and Bones.  Skull and Bones is a secret society that each year recruits 15 people in the junior undergraduate class at Yale University.  The society portrays itself as a fraternity.

I'm sure that you have heard that the society is or may be involved in all sorts of nefarious activities.  I am not asserting or denying anything about their actions.

I am bringing up the concept of prejudice or pre-judging.  Pre-judging can be a useful exercise because in some circumstances there is not time to gather all the facts and we need to operate on our impressions.

I am cautioning against assuming that every person that belongs to a given group acts in a certain way.

I am trying to make a more general point that I don't think that we can assume that everyone in the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, Tri-lateral Commission, and even Skull and Bones is automatically "bad".  Often the greatest degree of power is held by a small inner circle and the people on the periphery may not know what goes on there.

Re: Skull and Bones

Window dressing (in the form of wannabe naifs with presold credibility) is vital to these groups' activity. It provides a respectable veneer and falls neatly into the masonic "screen behind screens" m.o. Has anyone else read that the "skull &bones" or "jolly roger" was the flag displayed by Rothschild's pirates? (hmm, jolly rothschild? blood sacrifices to further dark business?) Trivia Q: Who coined the term "cult of celebrity"?
