The Black Informant

Let’s put it this way, I do not rule out their existance. The whole “global warming” scare really has me revisiting this topic.

Skull & Bones

The Order of Skull and Bones is a secret society based at Yale University, in New Haven, Connecticut. The society is officially organized as the Russell Trust Association.

The group was founded in 1832 by Alphonso Taft and William Russell.The first Skull and Bones class, or “cohort,” was the very next year, 1832-33. The society was all male until 1992. All new members, as in all Yale societies and most fraternal groups, must withstand an initiation.

If Skull and Bones is mentioned today, it is often in light of elite political conspiracy theories concerning use of federal power in the United States of America. The nature of the society system at Yale lends itself to such speculation.

Traditionally, the Yale Daily News published the names of newly “tapped” members of all major secret societies at Yale, but this practice was abandoned during the “student rebellion” of the sixties. It has since been reinstated informally by the campus tabloid The Rumpus. Hence, although the society’s current membership rosters and activities are not officially disclosed, the membership is in fact a matter of knowledge among the incoming and outgoing Yale senior class, University administration, active alumni from other societies, and underclassmen. This may be said of the other societies, as well, particularly Wolf’s Head and Scroll and Key. University archives has documents, provided by the societies, that would confirm membership.

The society inducts only rising seniors during the late junior year prior to their graduation. By reputation, “Bonesmen” tapped the current football and heavyweight rowing captains as well as notables from the Yale Daily News and Yale Lit before the 1970s. However, the group’s decision, after much dispute, to admit women eventually diversified the membership. Numerous undergraduate constituencies are better represented among the recently-tapped membership compared to the cohorts, or delegations, that included the 27th, 41st and 43rd Presidents of the United States.

The Bilderberg Group

The Bilderberg Group or Bilderberg conference is an unofficial annual invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of influence in the fields of business, media, and politics.

Due to discussions by public officials and powerful business leaders (and others) being off the record, these annual meetings are the subject of much criticism (for circumventing the democratic process of discussing issues openly and publicly) and numerous conspiracy theories.

The elite group meets annually at exclusive, four or five-star resorts throughout the world, normally in Europe, although sometimes in the United States or Canada. It has an office in Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands. (source)
