The Order of Skull and Bones

via Arcane Front

Yale University is where three threads of American social history — espionage, drug smuggling, and secret societies — first entwined into one.

Elihu Yale was born near Boston, educated in London, and served with the British East India Company, eventually becoming governor of Fort St. George in the coastal city of Madras (modern-day Chennai, India), in 1687. Having amassed a great fortune from trade, he returned to England in 1699 and gained fame as a philanthropist. Upon receiving a request from the Collegiate School in Connecticut, Yale sent a donation and a gift of books. After subsequent bequests, the socially and politically influential New England Puritan minister Cotton Mather suggested the school be named Yale College, in 1718.

In 1832, William Huntington Russell (a founder and original trustee of Yale College) and Alphonso Taft (founder of an American political dynasty) first assembled the Order of Skull and Bones, a secret society for the elite children of the Anglo-American Wall Street banking establishment. At that time, William Huntington Russell’s stepbrother, Samuel Russell, oversaw Russell & Company, the world’s largest opium smuggling operation. And it was Alphonso Taft’s son, 27th U.S. President William Howard Taft, who would become a leading proponent of the League of Nations, a forerunner to the United Nations.

First, a concise introduction to the secretive order…

The ultimate intent of the Order of Skull and Bones and the means by which they aim to achieve this objective is astutely summarized by the late economist and historian Antony C. Sutton in his 1983 book, “America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones”:

“Historically, operations of The Order have concentrated on society, how to change society in a specific manner towards a specific goal: a New World Order. We know the elements in society that will have to be changed in order to bring about this New World Order…More or less these elements would have to be:

EDUCATION — how the population of the future will behave
 MONEY — the means of holding wealth and exchanging goods
LAW — the authority to enforce the will of the state, a world law and a world court is needed for a world state
POLITICS — the direction of the State
ECONOMY — the creation of wealth
HISTORY — what people believe happened in the past
PSYCHOLOGY — the means of controlling how people think
PHILANTHROPY — so that people think well of the controllers
MEDICINE — the power over health, life, and death
RELIGION — people’s spiritual beliefs, the spur to action for many
MEDIA — what people know and learn about current events
CONTINUITY — the power to appoint who follows in your footsteps…” Now, an in-depth exploration of the Order of Skull and Bones by Antony C. Sutton…
