Wow. I spent much of last night reading about the Bush clan and a secret Yale society called The Order of Skull and Bones. Here is an interesting (though somewhat paranoid) article about the group and its far reaching influence. Some of the most powerful men in this country for the past 200 years or so have been members of this group. George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, and William Howard Taft (apparently a relative of the Bush family) are all members. Not only that -- George W.'s granddaddy, Prescott Bush, along with the Harriman family (also members) controlled banks and investment firms that funded the Nazis throughout WWII and funded the Soviet Communists afterward!

Take, for instance, the fact that the Harriman family was responsible for major funding and influence in Bill Clinton's presidential campaign..... A Google search of this nefarious fraternity leads to all kinds of information (though this is a secret society, so not everything is out in the open). People have done lots of research, and I'm surprised (maybe I shouldn't be surprised) that so little is made of these connections through history, from opium trading through to the "war on drugs", to banking, oil, the Bush family....wow. incredible.
