Interview with the Daily Grail’s Greg Taylor: “I think the real question about modern secret societies is their influence on politics. It still bewilders me that more was not made in the last U.S. presidential election about the fact that both Dubya Bush and John Kerry were members of the same secret society, Skull and Bones. A society with only (roughly) 800 living members, who refuse to reveal anything about the society and their relationship with it, manage to have ‘control’ of the two candidates to lead 300 million people and the world’s most powerful nation? That doesn’t sound like democratic choice to me. “
I don’t know what to make of this: is there anything to Skull and Bones? Is it more than just a glorified fraternity with a mystique? Do they really control anything beyond the perceptions of the credulous?
