Skull and Bones
The Skull and Bones is a student secret society of the United States of America, founded in 1832.
Was introduced at Yale by William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft in 1833.
At that time material was referred to as the Skull and Bones at Yale chapter of German society the Illuminati.
Yale is the only university with secret societies, which are admitted only seniors, alumni say. The other two are “Scroll and Key” and Wolf's Head
Candidates are exclusively white men, Protestants, and usually originate from very wealthy families. Often, their parents were members of the order. In the final year of study, are called riders.
Influence on Policy
There are chances of Skull & Bones connections with the CIA, Illuminati, Bilderbergers and Freemasonry. Such theories were the basis of the movie The Skulls, that addresses a highly sophisticated secret society, making a clear allusion to Skull and Bones. the company was also included, as the group in the 2006 film The Good Shepherd about the origins of the CIA, in which the main character belongs to Skull and Bones.
In the 2004 presidential elections in the U.S., both Democrat and Republican were members of society. George W. Bush publicly acknowledged being a member of Skull and Bones, as well as his opponent in the presidential election in the United States of America (2004) John Kerry.
