Introduction

This special report is intended to assist the Japanese audience in more fully understanding

the present policies of the United States under the administration of President George

Bush. It explains the thinking behind America's military adventure in the Persian Gulf

and its current attitudes toward the Middle East region.

In so doing, we provide a glimpse into the most powerful organization in America--the

Order of Skull & Bones. This secret fraternity is based at Yale University in New Haven,

Connecticut, where many of the leading members of the U.S. government and the

American intelligence community received their formal education. The Order, as it is

referred to by its members, is a bastion of White Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP)

culture, which is at the core of the American 20th century outlook.

The reader will learn that President George Herbert Walker Bush's concept of the New

World Order is an old idea, one which has its origins in the philosophy and beliefs of the

secret Skull & Bones fraternity. Today in particular, this is the prevailing outlook of the

U.S. government, many of whose most influential members, like the president himself,

are part of the Skull & Bones network. These men seek to recreate the American

imperium of the immediate post-World War II period, an era which President Bush

frequently refers to as "the American Century."

The powerful men of Skull & Bones genuinely believe that they have a strategic and

moral "right" to control world affairs. Consequently, they take upon themselves the

authority to crush any rivalrous threat to U.S. imperial leadership, whether by current

allies, such as Japan, Germany or Great Britain, or by Cold War adversaries, like the

Soviet Union. The members of the Order, due to their narrow WASP upbringing, view

with particular suspicion the maneuverings of Zionist Israel and its affluent, influential

lobb

in the United States.

Bush, his fellow Bonesmen and their like-thinking elitist allies in the American

Establishment see themselves as New World Order warriors, an American samurai caste

of sorts, whose mission is restoring American greatness. They intend to utilize the

institutional networks of the U.S. government and key private agencies, such as the New

York Council on Foreign Relations, to advance their purpose.

The Skull & Bones members believe in the idea of "constructive chaos." By keeping their

true policy intentions secret, by constantly sending out mixed signals on all critical policy

issues, they consciously seek to sow confusion among both their nominal "friends" and

"enemies" alike.

The fulcrum for the policy of constructive chaos is, at present, the Middle East situation.

Although U.S. military action in the region has for the time being subsided, America's

military power will remain a critical determinant in the future of that vital zone of

conflict. American military power is aimed at securing undisputed control over the vast

reservoir of oil -- not at necessarily fostering any permanent alignment of local states or

combinations of regional interests.

If President George Bush and his fellow true believers are successful, the United States

will be first among equals in the New World Order. This is their goal. It is also the quest

of the Bonesmen of the Order of Skull & Bones -- America's warrior aristocracy.

THE ORDER OF SKULL & BONES

Skull & Bones was founded at Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut in 1832. It is the

oldest and most prestigious of Yale's seven secret societies. Among the others are: Scroll

& Key, Book & Snake, Wolf's Head, Eliahu, and Berzelius. These fraternities serve as a

recruiting ground for young men destined for careers in government, law, finance and

other influential sectors of American life. Skull & Bones is the elite of the elite among

these secret societies. Only Scroll & Key can claim a near equal influence on American

affairs over the past 160 years.

Unlike the Greek fraternities on most other American university campuses, Skull &

Bones and its similar secret societies exist exclusively at Yale. They are not part of any

nationwide public association. The other elite Ivy League colleges, Harvard and

Princeton have similar exclusive secret societies. Yet, even among these few universities,

the secret societies of Yale -- led by Skull & Bones -- are unchallenged in their influence

on American political affairs.

According to some accounts, the Skull & Bones secret society at Yale has an

under

round affiliation with two other societies which were simultaneousl

founded at

two other locations. The number "322" that appears under the skull and crossbones on the

Order's emblem is believed to indicate the year of its founding -- 1832 -- and the fact that

it is the second lodge within an international system. By some accounts, the lodge

holding the number "1" is in Germany and the lodge numbered "3" is based at another

American college.

Since its founding, Skull & Bones has only inducted about 2,500 members. At any given

time, only about 600 or so members of the Order are alive. This small number

underscores the tremendous concentration of power in the hands of its members.

If the members of Skull & Bones were to select a Hall of Fame from among their own

elite ranks, some of the people whose names would almost certainly appear at the top of

the list would be:

zAlphonso Taft, a founding member of the Order who served as the Secretary of War

under President Rutherford B. Hayes (1876-1880).

zWilliam Howard Taft, the only man to ever serve as both the President of and Chief

Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Philippines (1926-1928), Secretary of State under President Herbert Hoover (1929-

1933) and Secretary of War under Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry

S. Truman (1940-1946).

zAverell Harriman, investment banker with Brown Brothers Harriman, director of

the Lend-Lease program of the U.S. State Department (1941-1942), U.S.

Ambassador to the Soviet Union (1943-1946), Governor of New York, Under

Secretary of State for Asia (1961-1963), and presidential secret envoy to Soviet

leaders Stalin, Krushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov.

The members of the Order of Skull & Bones, true to their firm belief in "constructive

confusion," have intentionally allowed a series of conflicting mythologies to spring up

about the origins and history of their secret fraternity. According to one version of the

Order's founding, it was an outgrowth of an earlier British or Scottish freemasonic

grouping first established at All Soul's College at Oxford University in the late 17th

century. Another version of the history of Skull & Bones is that it grew out of the

German "nationalistic" secret .societies of the early 19th century. Still a third explanation

is that Skull & Bones is an uniquely American institution which adopted some of the

rituals of European freemasonry, but molded these rituals and beliefs into a new form.

Regardless of these conflicting accounts, it can be stated with certainty that the Order was

first established on the Yale campus in 1832 It was officially incorporated only in 1856

under the name Russell Trust Association. According to virtually all the available

biographical data on its early members, the money required to sustain the secret order's

campus affairs and its broader role in placing its members into key positions of influence

upon their graduation from Yale, derived from the opium trade in the Far East. That trade

was set up by the British East India Company and was flourishing by the time the Treaty

of Paris was signed in 1783 ending the American War for Independence. The East India

Company during this period was controlled by the Baring Brothers Bank (Toward the

closing decades of the 17th century, the British House of Rothschild would supplant the

Baring Brothers as the controlling financial interests in the China opium trade.

Through the sponsorship of the Barings and also the Rothschilds, a number of leading

ew England families, some of whom had sided with Great Britain during the American

Revolution, were brought into the opium trade as junior partners. These merchant

families ran fleets of clipper ships and became in many cases fabulously wealthy as the

result of their association with the British East India Company. Among these key New

England merchant families were: Cabot, Coolidge, Forbes, Higginson, Sturgis, Lodge,

Lowell, Perkins and Russell.

These New England merchant families founded the United Fruit Company and the Bank

of Boston. The founding families of Skull & Bones included the Russell and Perkins

families, Over several generations, however, all these families heavily intermarried and

became, in effect, one extended power grouping.

William Huntington Russell incorporated Skull & Bones as the Russell Trust

Association. Throughout the 20th century, the Russell Trust Association listed the New

York City headquarters of Brown Brothers Harriman as its address.

Russell was valedictorian of his class at Yale in 1833. He and his Skull & Bones

comrades considered themselves to be a special elite among the merchant banking and

Puritan pil

rim elite of Yale. The

took the Puritan beliefs of the earl

New En

land

settlers, that they were "elected by God," and pre-ordained to rule North America.

The founding of Yale College in 1701 pre-dates the American Revolution by several

generations. Many of the founders of Yale were righteous men of the Puritan heritage

who devoutly believed in God and country. Some of these patriotic souls later made up

the core of Benjamin Franklin's political coalition which ultimately broke with the

mother country, Great Britain. Many graduates of Yale were active in the American

Revolution and the founding of the United States.

Two critics of the Order, historian Antony Sutton and investigative journalist Ron

Rosenbaum (himself a Yale graduate), both concluded that Skull & Bones has

degenerated since its founding and has taken on more of the occult and ritualistic

trappings of the majority of European freemasonic and Illuminati secret societies. Sutton

charges that the Order is secretly known among its initiates as the "Brotherhood of

Death" and has become an evil instrument in the hands of America's secret power elite.

Rosenbaum claims that the society's Germanic origins are inherently wicked and pre-

azi.

In a long 1977 article in Esquire magazine, Rosenbaum charged that the Skull & Bones

building on the Yale campus houses remnants from Hitler's private collection of silver.

While these stories cannot be dismissed out of hand, it must be noted that authors

Rosenbaum and Sutton may be biased. As a young Jewish student at Yale, Rosenbaum

was almost automatically excluded on religious grounds from the inner sanctum of the

campus's secret societies. Sutton, a British-born eccentric historian, proudly admits his

strong British biases, frequently citing philosopher John Stuart Mill as the spiritual

mentor in his book on the Order.

Despite the possible personal biases in these two accounts of the history of the Order of

Skull & Bones, it must be acknowledged that the membership of the society has tended

over generations to converge upon a small group of New England families who have

intermarried and then sponsored their sons and nephews into the Order. This kind of

inbreeding always tends to produce narrow-mindedness and prejudice against outsiders,

which can be a serious shortcoming, particularly among individuals responsible for

charting the course of a nation as powerful as the United States.

It can be documented by comparing the family charts of the early Bonesmen that there is

today a core group of no more than 20 to 30 families who form the nucleus of the Order.

The majority are old-line Puritan families who came to North America in the very first

wave of settlers in the 17th century. Among these prominent families are: Whitney, Lord,

Phelps. Wadsworth, Allen, Bundy, Adams, Stimson, Taft, Gilman and Perkins. A second

group of families in the Skull & Bones core earned fabulous fortunes during the 18th and

19th centuries and thus won a rite of passage into the New England elite, even though

they were not among the earliest settlers. The leading Skull & Bones families in this

second cate

are: Harriman, Rockefeller, Pa

ne, Davison, Pillsbur

and We

erhauser.

A few of the Jewish banking families who made their way from Germany to the United

States during the 18th and l9th centuries were eventually granted limited access to the

WASP inner sanctums. Some families, like the Schiff, Warburg, Guggenheim and Meyer

families, were unofficially designated as intermediaries between the New England

WASPs and their cousins in London. This was especially true after the Rothschild

interests supplanted the Anglican Baring group as the most powerful financial cabal in

the City of London. Some of these German Jewish families became so absorbed into the

WASP or Anglican society that they eventually converted from Judaism to Protestantism

and were gradually ostracized from the Jewish aristocracy.

The WASP families, however, never saw the prominent Jewish investment banking

families of America as equals. The Jews were considered politically and culturally

different by the WASPs, and have never been accepted into the latter's inner circle. For

the most part, these Jewish merchant bankers are viewed with suspicion and distrust by

the members of the Order. Moreover, the Jewish fraternal societies, such as B'nai B'rith,

were formed out of the British-based Scottish Rite Freemasonry. Their sponsors in

America, the Rothschilds and the Cecil Rhodes Trust (also known as the British Round

Table Group), are connected with the British Foreign Office and its secret intelligence

apparatus.

INITIATION AND RITUAL

To be initiated into the Order of Skull & Bones, one must endure a ritual of selection

called "tapping". It is conducted by 15 senior classmen of Yale University who make up

the current membership of the secret society. They select 15 members of the junior class

to be the Bonesmen the following year. Historically, Skull & Bones kept blacks, Jews

and all other non-WASPs from its ranks. Within the last 30 years, however, token

members from these groups have been occasionally selected to join. Thus, in the most

recent list of initiates to the Order, there is one Yalie with a Jewish surname and even one

with a Chinese name. According to author Rosenbaum, in recent years, the Order has

inducted members of homosexual rights groups on the campus into its ranks.

Among the criterion for selection -- apart from family ties to the order, which has always

been an important factor -- is what is referred to by historians and members as the "Three

Ordeals." These ordeals are intended to measure the prospective Bonesman's ability to

"make it" in the world beyond the university campus.

The first ordeal is boarding school. The overwhelming majority of Bonesmen, given their

wealthy blueblood family pedigrees, attend one of the prestigious New England

reparatory schools, i.e, private high schools. (Whereas a large number of the most elite

of the Harvard Universit

students attend Groton, a school with close ties to the

Anglican-Episcopal Church, where they receive a thoroughly Anglophilic education, the

referred prep schools for the future Bonesmen are the two Puritan Calvinis

-sponsored

Phillips Academies.)

The second of the ordeals is that of nature. The prospective Bonesmen are judged on their

skills as outdoorsmen. Hunting in the New England countryside or, better yet, traveling to

distant locations like Africa, the jungles of South America or even the American badlands

of the Plains states, is a prerequisite for admission to the Spartan elite ranks of the Order.

The third of the ordeals is war. The experience of combat during wartime is considered to

be of special significance for the Bonesmen, who see themselves as the elite of the New

England WASP warrior caste. Many Yale Bonesmen of President George Bush's

generation, as the result of the outbreak of World War II, went directly from prep school

into the military service prior to their entering Yale. For a majority of Bonesmen, the

referred military service has historically been with the U.S. Navy. During World II the

aval air corp was a particularly important track for future Bones initiates. In peacetime,

articipation at Yale in military officer's training is desirable but not essential. The

commitment to enter some branch of the military upon graduation is viewed with favor.

After the formal selection of the next group of prospective Bonesmen, there is an

invitation followed by a formal initiation ceremony. First the 15 senior class members

who are the members of the Order select a group of junior class members who are to be

"tapped" for Skull & Bones. A group of Bonesmen proceed to the dormitory room of the

"tappee." Upon reaching the door, they pound loudly. When the prospective member

opens the door, a Bonesman will tap him on the shoulder and yell, "Skull and Bones: Do

you accept?" If the candidate accepts, a message wrapped with a black ribbon sealed by

black wax with the skull and crossbones emblem and the mystical Bones number 322 is

handed to the "tappee." The message appoints a time and a place for the candidate to

appear on initiation night. Candidates are instructed to wear no metal objects or clothing.

According to a 1940 Skull & Bones document, the initiation ceremony involves the

following kinds of things: "New man placed in coffin -- carried into central part of

uilding. New man chanted over and reborn into society. Removed from coffin and given

robes with symbols on it. A bone with his name on it is tossed into the bone heap at the

start of every meeting."

Within the Skull & Bones Crypt, also known as "the Tomb," there is what is referred to

as a "sacred room" with the number 322, On the arched wall about the vault entrance is

inscribed in German: "Who was the fool, who was the wise man, beggar or king?

Whether poor or rich, all's the same in death."

This quotation from a German Freemasonic ritual remains a source of controversy

surrounding the origins of Skull & Bones. It is one of the bits of "evidence" cited by

some of the Order's most ardent critics that the

roup is "Nazi like" and sin
