As Gary Revel was conducting his investigation on the King and Kennedy assassinations, another investigation had been well underway since earlier in the 1970s which also uncovered aspects of the Vietnam War’s fraudulence—only from a totally different avenue of investigation. Once British historian and economist Dr. Antony Sutton unearthed a correlation between the number of increasing casualties among U.S. troops in Vietnam and President Johnson’s agreement to increase trade with Soviets in 1965, his relentless digging began into this clique we have called the Rockefeller Reich.
By way of his book “National Suicide,” Sutton detailed his findings of how the military products which began flowing from the United States into the USSR then got into the hands of the North Vietnamese and ultimately used against American troops. But this was just the beginning of the professor’s research. Wishing to dig deeper into the root problem, Sutton doggedly went to work on the release of hundreds of bank records, classified files, and personal documents—including hand-written letters—related to the clique of Wall Street insiders within Johnson’s administration including Averell Harriman and McGeorge Bundy, both members of the Order of Skull and Bones. The final product of Sutton’s research into this treasonous industrial relationship with foreign enemies included several books solely focused on the Order and its history.
By the late 70s George H.W Bush was leading the CIA and positioning himself for the presidency. So it is not as though Sutton’s groundbreaking material would become the stuff of headlines, and even today, a google search would perhaps turn up labels of his being a “conspiracy theorist” or produce an impression to that effect, but as anyone can judge for themselves through his books and interviews, his research material and investigative conclusions can hardly be described as theoretical in nature.
The Order’s two most influential founders, William H. Russell and Daniel Gilman, had received special permission to establish the Yale Order in 1832 from a German secret society they had joined while at the University of Berlin. Russel’s fascination with secret society methods perhaps related some to his prestigious family’s long-time opium shipping empire (a bit of history that would see itself repeated under the “national security” blessing in the 20th century). But a foundational point to be absorbed in this origin story concerns their Berlin professors being proponents of a Hegelian worldview—and with particular concern to secret society methods of narrative control, the Hegelian Dialectic.
Although its idea of thesis-antithesis-synthesis may smack of philosophical sophistication, it is simple in concept. Involved is the pitting of social forces against each other—be it one nation or political party another or race, religious, and other wars—so as to herd people like animals toward a desired outcome. In the case of the Rockefeller Reich, for example, this principle was conducted most nefariously in their sell of oil and arms to both the United States and Nazi governments during the war (thesis and anti-thesis), having built up both sides of the war economically and militarily (also thesis and anti-thesis) while ultimately reaping the financial and political benefits (synthesis) in various forms.
Of course, getting a scheme like this to work is not easy in practice. The conductors must have the means to maintain adequate secrecy and control of the narrative to prevent investigators and the general public from discovering their manipulation. In the summary of Lieutenant Col. Archibald Roberts, “The most secret knowledge, a science which outdates history, is the science of control over people, governments and civilizations. The foundation of this ultimate discipline is the control of wealth. Through the control of wealth comes the control of public information and the necessities of life. Through the control of news media comes thought control.”
Yet we need not accept this reality on anyone’s good authority. The available information and historical vantage afforded by the 2020 Overview can speak for itself. Multiple of the Berlin professors from whom the first generation of Bonesmen gleaned their Hegelian methods belonged to the Bavarian Illuminati founded by Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776. That there existed such a group, by the way, is not historically disputed, and the pop culture debate of whether this group continues to exist in any formal capacity is fundamentally misguided. To place this in perspective, is Weishaupt’s own prescription to an apprentice in a 1794 letter:
“The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment. Let it never appear in any place under its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation.”
An ideal type of front organization, Weishaupt instructed, would be one that proactively gains a culture-shaping edge. “By establishing reading societies and subscription libraries. . . we may turn the public mind which way we will. In like manner we must try to obtain an influence in. . . all offices which have any effect, either in forming, or in managing, or even in directing the mind of man.”
Expectedly, the intellectual osmosis would begin with the cult’s own members. This required, as Weishaupt also instructed, “speaking sometimes one way, sometimes in another, so that one’s real purpose should remain impenetrable to one’s inferiors.” True to such methods, the founding illuminist had structured his Order around 12 degrees of initiation after the masonic pattern of circles within circles of concentric secrecy. The higher degree one obtains, the more pieces one is entrusted with of carefully guarded information. In 1977, just one year after establishing his Order, Weishaupt then joined a masonic lodge to recruit from its pool of members. Thus, by the time Bavaria outlawed the Illuminati in 1783, he had already succeeded at concealing it under “another name, and another occupation” via Freemasonry.
It is essential to understand, however, that in so doing Weishaupt did not select just any Masonic lodge, but that of the Grant Orient Lodge, an esoteric sect of Freemasonry which in Germany had its ancestry in the Teutonic Knights, a German offshoot of the Knights Templar whose Aryan race mysticism and swastika reappears down the generational line in the early 20th century’s Germanenorden, or German Order. In keeping with Weishaupt’s instructions, the German Order concealed itself within yet “another name and occupation” by creating the Thule Society, an occult book club which publicly espoused its dedication to the revival of old Germanic literature. This front organization in its political form became the Nazi Party, and the occult DNA of the Grand Orient Lodge also reappears in the Nazi-sanctioned celebration of May 1, the pagan Walpurgis holiday and Illuminati anniversary.
Although the modern western mind has difficulty framing this, it is a fact that the Nazi exploration of psychiatric warfare took them deep into occult magic. Author Trevor Ravenscroft, who worked closely with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s assistant, reports that Churchill “insisted that the occultism of the Nazi Party should not under any circumstances be revealed to the general public. The failure of the Nuremberg trials to identify the nature of the evil at work behind the the outer facade of National Socialism convinced him that another three decades must pass before a large enough readership would be present to comprehend the initiation rites and black magic practices of the inner core of Nazi leadership.”
It is the consensus of multiple researchers that the German Order branched off into America at Yale through Russel and Gilman’s Skull and Bones, the Order of the Brotherhood of Death. Even Germany’s most influential Hegelian professors from the 18th century who were members of Weishaupt’s original Illuminati would pass down their educational philosophies to the first generation of Bonesmen. The names of these professors were found in the Bavarian membership rosters next to the alias each receives at initiation (Johann Guttered Herder as “Damascus Pontifex,” Johann Wolfgang Goethe as “Abaris,” and Johann Pestalozzi as “Alfred”). This tradition of receiving an alias continued with the Bonesmen being commonly named after pagan deities. Interestingly, such prominent members as Averell Harriman and McGeorge Bundy were named respectively after the Germanic gods Thor and Odin. George H.W. Bush and Henry Luce of Time-Life were Magog and Baal—ancient beings reputed in the Bible as antithetical to Yahweh, God of the Jews. Perhaps this is merely coincidental in light of the Nazi connection.
Journalist and former Yale student Ron Rosenbaum observed that the official Skull and Bones emblem was originally the Bavarian Illuminati’s official crest. Author Jim Marrs summarizes the findings of multiple researchers who “agree that the Order is merely the Illuminati in disguise since Masonic emblems, symbols, German slogans, even the lay out of their initiation room, all are identical to those found in [the esoteric Grant Orient] Masonic lodges in Germany associated with the Illuminati.”
And yet, in consistency with Weishaupt’s guiding principle, the Order kept from becoming stagnant, branching off into Yale’s Order of Scroll and Key (to which Cord Meyer belonged) and the Wolf’s Head Society. Analogous groups were formed at Dartmouth in the Sphinx Club, and Princeton’s Ivy and Cottage “eating clubs” (to which the Dulles brothers belonged). Like Skull and Bones, several of these clubs met in a Greco-Egyptian “Tomb” of their own. In any case, the essential dynamic to all this has been brought into perspective.
In a nutshell, there has existed an Order which safeguards its real secrets by avoiding attachment to any one name or occupation as they branch into new ones. Within each of these branches, depending on size, there will be a varying number of “degrees,” or circles within concentric circles of secrecy according to ascent based on competence, loyalty, and other such factors. A person’s membership to any one of these societies does not automate their initiation into the Order’s true secrets and agenda, but a combination of symbols, rites, coded language, and indoctrination allows true initiates on the inner circle of “grand masters” to discern each other and work in harmony even in the face of superficial contradiction (differing political parties, for example). At this level of secrecy and synchronicity, the bond is so organic or spiritual that formality can increasingly disappear. An outsider who was never even part of the outer ring of members can be embraced if not initiated into the “brotherhood” at the highest levels depending on their usefulness and alignment.
Now if it seems we have stepped too freely into the realm of theory, the reader can rest assured these dynamics will clarify themselves in the Rockefeller Reich’s synchronicity with each other throughout the next chapter. There are some secrets only time can tell once a century’s worth of information has leaked to the surface of public light in bits and pieces. But to enhance our framework of understanding for what we will find in the complete picture, a couple more points of clarification are in order regarding the common DNA of these branching secret societies.
If the trunk of this family tree is the Illuminized Freemasonry into which Weishaupt fused his Order, its roots in Germany’s Grand Orient Lodges can be traced way back in medieval times to the Knights Templar. Officially named The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, this militaristic order used Christian piety as its “shell” while secretly hoarding wealth in their pursuits of ancient treasure. But the treasure which they sought was not strictly monetary. It included the search for mystical knowledge of a pagan kind that squarely contradicted the tenets of a Christo-centric theology. In every respect this history of a militaristic pseudo-Christian front will be seen repeating itself at the heart of 20th century information warfare in the machinations of the Rockefeller Reich and their political offspring.
This could be fleshed out at length in the pursuits of the Rockefeller-funded, skull-and-bones bearing Heinrich Himmler, who notoriously sought out the weaponizing value in black magic. But we will see it soon enough within America just the same. Allen Dulles, James Angleton, George H.W. Bush all belonged to the Knights of Malta—a super elite modern reformation of the Knights Templar that bridged the CIA and Vatican elements in helping Nazis escape through Europe’s ratlines. On that special day of May 1, 1933, Bishop Alois Hudal made a fiery speech in Rome before a group of Nazi and Catholic leaders, declaring “German Unity is my strength, my strength is German might.”
Hudal had been influenced greatly by a Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels, a Cistercian monk who founded the anti-Semitic Order of the New Templars. Hudal became a great help later in coordinating the escape of Nazis through the CIA-Nazi-Vatican ratlines. Given this Masonic infiltration of the Catholic Church, it thus is no surprise that the Skull and Bones rituals their “kissing of the Pope’s foot” prior to becoming a “Knight of Eulogia.”
As the second point of clarification, we must regard the Illuminati’s stated purpose to purge society of superstition and religion in the spirit of “free thinking” with a grain of salt. Nazism’s racial occult concepts of a “Great White Brotherhood” championed by the Thule Society likewise show up within America in the KKK, who, while using Christian symbolism publicly, attribute to their leaders such inflated mason-like titles as “Grand Wizard.” Although there is historical dispute whether 33rd degree Masonic Grand Master and Confederate Army official, Albert Pike, was a high-ranking klan member, there is no doubt he was united with them in spirit. In the Memphis Daily Appeal, Pike argued for the establishment of one great “Order of Southern Brotherhood” through which the klan’s operations could be more centralized and efficiently served. Pike, who is known for having published material describing Lucifer in rather glowing terms, also authored guides for the veneration of Indo-Aryan deities.
Also of interest, is a letter Pike wrote to fellow 33rd degree Grand Master, Giusseppi Mazzini—the Italian revolutionary who led the unification and independence of Italy, cultivating the Italian Mafia as well. Pike’s letter shared his vision for the planning of three world wars (thesis and anti-thesis) designed toward increased global unification and consolidated control (synthesis). Like Adam Weishaupt, Mazzini operated within Italy’s Grand Orient Lodges, which would later give birth to Propaganda Due—a post World War II masonic network in Rome between the Italian Mafia, Vatican elements, and their source of funding: the Allen Dulles CIA.
At last, such DNA interconnecting the secret societies and its race mysticism returns us full circle to the American arm, The Order of the Brotherhood of Death. By the late 1800s the Yale society was indulging this hidden neo-pagan corner of its scholasticism through such Bonesmen as Irving Fischer (1888) and Gifford Pinchot (1889), who showed combined interest in racial hygiene and psychical research. Fischer was the founding president of the American Eugenics Society funded by Averell Harriman’s mother. Pinchot was vice president of her first International Eugenics Congress in 1912 and was active in the Psychical Research society. Clearly, Hitler’s intrigue with an ancient super race of Aryans having psychical powers was not original to the Thule Society.
On related terms, there is that infamous Skull and Bones photograph of George H.W. Bush standing among his fellow Bonesmen. In it, they are posed before the camera in neatly aligned rows with a real-life skull and bones at front and center. A leaked record book of the Order’s 1918 exploits validated the rumor of the remains being those of Apache chief Geronimo. The so-named Black Book indicated that Prescott Bush and his companions dug up and stole the remains in one of their practices they called “crooking,” and the bones themselves were purposed for group rituals. Adding to the racial implications of this, there has surfaced in recent years old pictures from a group of unveiled klansmen who, in apparent congruity to their Yale “Brotherhood,” are also in rows symmetrically divided by a skull and crossbones. This very symbol, by the way, itself goes back to the Knights Templar, who were known to hoist it by flag on their shipping vessels which transported their secretly hoarded treasure. And so was born the oligarchical cult of what would become the secret science of wealth-control framing today’s military industrial complex and spycraft.
One of the most important industrial partners to the Rockefeller-Harriman-Bush clique was a man named Samuel Pryor, known by his associates as the “Merchant of Death.” Pryor was the chairman of Remington Arms who supplied Himmler’s SS with guns as the Nazis set out to restructure Germany’s government, which Hitler speaking as a puppet called the “New Order.” The methods involved would set a precedent and template for the gun-running operations eventually undertaken by E. Howard Hunt, whose prominence within the inner CIA was owed in major part to his support from another important Bonesman, publisher William F. Buckley. Hunt’s Miami area outpost for covert operations and training prospered under a watchful presence from Jupiter Island, the entirety of which had been purchased by Pryor in 1931.
Located off Palm Beach, Florida, Jupiter was to become a most secretive island with its own security system where Averell Harriman, Prescott Bush, and others in their clique purchased homes. The “Merchant of Death” wouldn’t sell property to anyone outside of his clique, and as we shall see, this island was to become the staging point in the 1940s where Harriman and Bush planned their taking of America’s national security apparatus, and this, even as they were entrenching their roots on the political scene in opposite parties—Bush as a future Republican patriarch and Harriman as an “elder statesman of the Democratic Party.” The latter switched over from the Republican side in 1928.
These sort of facts along with those covered ahead which shaped the 20th century and divisive world of today–especially with regard to cultural aspects of our collective thinking– begin to have an intelligible framework now that there is a basic understanding of the Hegelian Dialectic and its background in the secret societies to which these men belonged.
