Skull and Bones is a secret society at Yale University. Every year since 1833, 15 people (men only prior to 1991) have been “tapped” at the end of their junior year to join the society. Its most famous members have been President William Howard Taft (who also became Chief Justice), Senator Robert A. Taft (“Mr. Republican”), Henry Luce (Time Magazine), George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, John Kerry, and William F. Buckley. Either way, the 2004 Presidential election would have resulted in a Bonesman as President. Yet neither of them was allowed to discuss his membership. Lifetime silence is part of their vows.
There was a 1970 TV movie based on Bones, Brotherhood of the Bell. But its name was never mentioned.
The public was unaware of Bones until Esquire Magazine ran a story on it in September 1977. That is a long time after 1833.

Let’s stay focused folks – there have been secret society’s since time began. Secrecy makes it fun but the truth will out sooner or later. The secret society of Socialism has been going on for a long while and not so secret but nobody would listen to those few who warned and told. Trusting people ignored their duty to be informed of government and that was just what they needed. We didn’t know that our young was being doctrinated in college, and only when they dipped low in the lower grades did parents wake up and see what was being taught. Mess with a woman’s child and you got trouble. The instant communication of the net gave us means to share and become informed quickly. The people of America looked around and found our America gone. We are awake and busy. Our job is large and the problems large – but never underestimate the American spirit of a patriot. You say there are secret society’s in every corner – we say so what. We will do our homework and we will find out if they mean us harm, or not. We don’t get our news from one source anymore. We listen to everything – trust nothing and won’t go to sleep again. It’s not me that anybody need fear – it’s a bunch of me’s.
