Rate this book
Kazdej wiosny od 1832 roku pietnascie nowych osób otrzymuje propozycje wstapienia do zakonu Skull and Bones. Po ukonczeniu Yale wiele z nich wspina sie na szczyty wladzy i nadaje ksztalt swiatu, w którym zyjemy.
Oto opowiesc o tym, jak sie to dzieje i dlaczego...

,,Opinia publiczna powinna byc ogromnie wdzieczna Antony'egmu Suttonowi za te ksiazke. Stanowi ona bowiem swoisty elementarz umozliwiajacy przesledzenie dziejów rodzin, wiezów krwi i zawiklanych zwiazków biznesowych amerykanskiego establishmentu. Bez informacji dostarczonych przez Suttona nie jest mozliwe pelne zrozumienie amerykanskiej historii i polityki zagranicznej".

If you want to know the real “evil-doers” controlling the country, destroying our education system, and bathing in the profiting war mongering filled globalized corporate capitalist New World Order in which we live in… you got to start somewhere.

Very convincing account by former Hoover Institute fellow Antony Sutton about the existence, power, influence and membership of Skull & Bones, the Yale secret society. A couple of fun facts: Both John Kerry & George W Bush, the two candidates for president in 2004 were bondsmen - what's the likelihood of that, given that there are only 15 new members a year. I also found that alleged Boston Marathon Bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev's grandfather-in-law was a bondsman and US intelligence agent - which together with the fact that Tsarnaev's uncle was married to Kabul CIA Chief's Graham Fuller's daughter, makes me think it's more likely Tsarnaev was part of the intelligence community and not an object of its suspicions.

Understanding how the cultural climate got to its current place has been a central preoccupation on this platform, and I suggest that Anthony Sutton’s analysis of the influence of Skull and Bones on global politics and social consensus, America’s Secret Establishment, provides a plausible thesis. You don’t need an advanced degree to know that the range of acceptable opinion narrows with each passing day. While libertarians hold to the premise that this is still a free marketplace of ideas and all that one needs is libertarian historical revisionism and a dogmatic adherence to the Non-Aggression Principle in order to win the day, Sutton’s analysis of American history is far more credible. Sutton holds a right leaning libertarian view of both American republicanism and the primacy of the individual which locates his own thinking within the spectrum of conventional thought. This should not preclude a serious engagement with his analysis of the evolution of American institutions under the hidden hand of the shadow elite he refers to as The Order.

A little disorganized in structure, but the content is fascinating. Has contributed to my distrust of government and the 2 party system. Basically it supports the theory that power and exclusivity corrupts. The skull and bones secret society is for totalitarian rule, not just in the US of A but internationally.

A nice little intro to the man behind the curtain. Surprisingly well researched and modest with his claims, Sutton lends a lot of credibility to a "conspiratorial" understanding of history and politics. If you've ever smelled a rat in the "news" you get on tv or newspaper, then you should read this and start wondering why.

First of is this is true, it's pretty impressive. Second, conspiracies and secret societies had always existed, one can only look into ancient Greece or Rome. Third, if we truly are ruled by tiny elites, and the Hegelian dialectic is used throughout the world - then the mess we are currently in is somewhat explainable. And forth - we as dumb as little children with dangerous toys.

Ill start off by saying for those who are truly interested in this topic, read Alexandra Robbins "Secrets of the Tomb" which is a much more orderly, concise, and informative read. What we have here is a mess. I have to confess that the ebook version which is what I read was poorly put together with numerous spelling errors, page breaks, and lack of photographs that arent bugged. Most of Suttons work consisted of taking the names of numerous members alive and dead along with anyone who in one way or another may have been affiliated with them at one point or another and what they did in their post Bonesman years. Sutton doesnt however support this family tree organization with any real factual tie ins to the Skull and Bones Society with the exception that they are members. This is the equivalent of saying that the city of Scranton PA is controlled by numerous alumni of the University of Scranton. Hate to tell you, but it should be obvious that post graduation, some graduates may actually use their degree to secure an afluent career!. Sutton does alot of reaching in his work to the point of redundancy. I find it interesting that so many conspiracy theorist claim the government or so identified organiztion is witholding evidence from society to prove their theory, yet when a theorist writes their own book filled with allegations or assumptions, they fail to provide documentation or proof as well, yet they painstakingly claim to possess. I truly am interested in SnB and the Illuminati, I wouldnt read as much on it if I didnt. I think there is something lurking behind the walls at Yale, but this was a more collaboration taken from a list of names that the author claims to have been in possession of for 24 hours, went to kinkos to photocopy it and refuses to publish it. Freedom of Information Act anyone? Anyways Secrets of the Tomb...read it.

Two stars for entertainment value of reading and fantasizing about conspiracies, but the logical leaps from the author, and the disjointed nature of the writing in this book make it a difficult, often painful read. I read this because I had a friend suggest it (they are a fan of conspiracy theories) but I can't in good conscience recommend it to others.

If you're thinking about reading this book, consider the following:

If you're a conspiracy nut who loves reading about intricate secret societies and The New World Order, cold war spy conspiracies and poorly-supported connections between people, then you'll probably love this book.

If you were looking for hard facts about the order of the Skull & Bones, well-researched topics and a lack of bias in arguments, this probably isn't the book for you.

The subject of this book is about the Skull'n'Bones Trust and how these guys have taken over the country with their fascist Hegelian philosophies.

Well, it starts out kind of slow when it talks about education.

In the end, it does a pretty good job of showing where all these SBT guys end up in banking, government, &c.

The book also explains a little philosophy too.

Oh yeah, don't forget references to the Illuminati, it's got that too.

It's definitely a conspiracy theory book written by a conspiracy theory guy. Either you believe in these types of things or you buy the government line.

Read it less for "the tell all history of a secret society," more for the philosophy and thinking behind the Order. It can be a crash course of hegelian dialectics for some readers.

Oh, and the secret history on how the US funded the Soviets, the Nazis, and others. Because that's a thing. Apparently.

Along with Creature from Jekyll Island, this was an essential "wake-up" book for me. Sutton was way ahead of his time.

Secret Societies do exist but they do not Rule the World, nobody but God if you believe in God governs human life here on earth.

Initial thoughts: Interesting. At first. It felt like three volumes were condensed into one (e)book. The first two volumes were more interesting. The last volume (maybe the final few hundred pages) was SO BORING. Such dry writing. Most of what I read didn't register anymore. I just wanted to finish it and call it a day. The writing voice was devoid of personality. It didn't seem like a human wrote it.

Food for thought
“The activities of The Order are directed towards changing our society, changing the world, to bring about a New World Order. This will be a planned order with heavily restricted individual freedom, without Constitutional protection, without national boundaries or cultural distinction.”

“Progress in the Hegelian State is through contrived conflict: the clash of opposites makes for progress. If you can control the opposites, you dominate the nature of the outcome.”

➤The use of “right” vs “left” as a control mechanism to instigate conflict, making calls for change appear organic when it was orchestrated all along. Republican/Democrat, Conservative/Liberal - they’re two sides of the same coin. And so expecting different results is the definition of insanity. How can we expect genuine change when the system is already fucked? The government’s already been infiltrated. They’re everywhere, already. To try to build on a faulty foundation is flawed thinking. “The Order”, whatever you wanna call it (The Deep State/The Wizard of Oz, etc.) is slowly, gradually, moving society towards a world where the State is all-powerful and individuals mere unthinking, compliant cogs conditioned to serve the State. Their agenda: World Domination.

It’s already happening. It’s been happening. Do you see it? Do you see the patterns?

Antony Sutton creates a really good analysis of an old-money fraternity at Yale that has historically had a lot of influence in American society. They had a lot of control over the American education system both at Yale & in the public high schools. They also influenced world events, produced a lot of mostly Republican politicians & have exerted influence over the corporate business model in the US. In my view, their views are misguided & elitist. They are Globalists (many of them were also in Bilderberg) & do not support "real" Democracy or a Republic in my view. They support a world government or world oligarchy just like Bilderberg. After you read a book like this; you realize that you are not living in anything actually resembling a "real" democracy in the US. The Skulls are the "poster child" for why fraternities should be removed from the public university system at the undergraduate level in the US. Groups like this (there are similar frats in the Ivy League such as Wolf's Head & Scroll & Key & a few in the SEC schools in the south) are against what the public university system & Yale is supposed to stand for in the US. Another must read if you are concerned about organizations that do not support true American or human values. It's also highly questionable their nexus to the Globalists, the Third Reich & the Eugenics Movement of the 1920's. A must read.

A good book about Yale and the skull and bones society. It’s a conspiracy book but a lot of the people in that society became hugely powerful people. It’s a lot or rambling at times with some nonsense maybe but also at times it really makes you think. It’s a fun read and to learn more about them I would start here.

3.5/5

Great read to my esoteric literature. Always good to study more on skull and bones. There's only so much information out there concerning this skull and bone secret society. So if you're serious about esoteric knowledge and like me you will read it like a sponge.

Not what I was wanting - way too serious - it was a tough read and the work was more investigative reporting. Tons of neat facts and theory. A decent reference book if this topic is your thing.

Great reprints of some factual Skull and Bones information, but I skipped 3/4ths of this book because it seemed way too conspiracy-deep. Gonna check out material from Ron Rosenbaum to get a different take on it.

Although there's some interesting information here and there in the book, it's mostly a dry read and highly speculative.
