We Demand To Know The Truth About Skull and Bones

'There's three things to remember: claim everything, explain nothing, deny everything.'

- Senator Prescott Bush (Skull and Bones 1917)

When you host a political website with a title like "Prison Planet", you know you are going to be accused of conspiracy theories. But Alex Jones' discussion of the secretive Skull and Bones Club, of which both G.W. Bush and John Kerry are members, is very much focussed on verifiable facts. Both Bush and Kerry have admitted their membership but refused to elaborate any further. As Jones rightly asks, "Why is this not a major election-year issue?"

Bush and Kerry admitted membership during seperate interviews with Tim Russert on "Meet The Press":

Mr. Russert: You both were members of Skull and Bones, a secret society at Yale. What does that tell us?

Senator Kerry: Not much, because it's a secret.

- Meet the Press, August 31, 2003

Mr. Russert: You were both in Skull and Bones, the secret society.

President Bush: It's so secret we can't talk about it.

- Meet the Press, Taped on February 7, 2004

Is the Skull and Bones club just a meaningless university frat club where mega-privileged rich kids can indulge in a little harmless fun? Or is it more like a key cell of an insidious, widespread network which has gained control over major facets of public life? The voting public in the USA, and the wider world, deserve to know more.

Given that there is obviously much more to this story than mere "conspiracy theory", why is it that the mainstream media have ignored it for so long? Obviously, Bush limits his time speaking freely to the media to such an extent that reporters cannot even pose the question, let alone get an answer. But Kerry is fair game and he is in no position to walk away from such questions.

As well as U.S. presidents (Bush Snr and Jnr, plus Howard Taft), Skull and Bones members include "Supreme Court justices, senators, governors, university presidents, foundation presidents, business titans, banking barons, media moguls, CIA spooks." In fact, the Central Intelligence Agency is often described as a "traditional career path" for Bonesmen.

The club also has shady links with the Illuminati, an ancient underground group whose attempts to influence US politics were a source of concern to President George Washington.

There is no valid reason on earth why the workings of such groups should remain a secret, particularly when their members hold such positions of prominence and are already have a stranglehold on the Presidency of the United States of America. It's up to us, the public, to demand answers now.
