Do you beilive elite groups control the world IE Free Masons Skull and Bones ETC

[solypsist]

i see no "corporate lobbyists" option.

[LeftEyeNine]

Actually I was unaware of those options at all..Who are these two mentioned?

And yes, I think corporate lobbyist options would fit more "rational".

Well couldnt you add it I think the elitest pretty much run the show. There is just so many examples but the one that really stands out to me is this. In 1980 good old Ronald Reagan vowed in New Hampshire that he would take a look into these groups never allow a member to serve on his cabinet. However he chooses of all people GB #1 as his Vp canadet. A month after he is elected there is an attempt on his life. Which had been cms over would have killed him thereby putting skull & bones GB as president much earlier

Funnily enough, I agree with solypsist with his lobbyist comment, even though I found "secret societies" ... weird and strangely creepy. I suppose it's a natural human reaction to be suspicious on such organizations. Those fraternities (and co.) can be places where outdated ideologues and obedience to tradition--the latter trait I greatly dislike--be preserved and passed on to other generations, and they often contains the rich and the powerful, as their elitism, "justified" by their own privileged positions, often translates into such "societies." Perhaps I hate them just because I believe that one's loyalty is to oneself (and all others, if you like), not just to a few others controlling you.

Edit: to answer LEN's question in a very broad way, these two are "secret societies" (those "clubs" which are inherently elitist) in the United States. They are prominent because of either their seemingly large member base or their places in famous institutions, such as Yale. The Skull&Bones (or something along that line) fraternity was based (among others or only there, I don't know) in Yale, and the two Bushes are part of it. The Free Masons I'm not sure, but I believe Redleg may know a little more as I believe he stated in the forum some time ago that his son was invited to join them (and he wished to find more information about them).

looks like it's spelled correctly to me

The world is being run by the ancient order of honourable badger botherers .
It is a secret society so shrouded in secrecy that no one has ever heard of it .

IBadgers. Yeah, right. Look, I'm only going to say this once, and I'll deny it if you ever bring this up again:

Racoons. The only other creature on the face of the earth that possesses opposable thumbs. That's right, they're fully-capable tool users.

Think about it: have you ever seen a human being entering or exiting the Goodyear blimp? I didn't think so. Have you ever personally been inside the NORAD mountain bunker? I didn't think so.

Racoons. They're running the whole show.

[Rodion Romanovich]

Yes, my own group owns it

[doc_bean]

Skull&Bones seems more like a way to help the individual memebers, not an organisation with Big Plans. Note that kerry was/is also a member, as are a lot of Washington politicians. I think they're a bit like a union for the rich and priveledged...

Freemasons: they're ancient, and from what i've heard they're mostly think tanks and discussion groups. No serious threat imo.

Illuminati: they quit after seeing how silly they looked in that Tomb Raider movie.

Come on you guys, everyone knows that the .org controls the US government.

Schhhh... some junior members might be listening!

[Tribesman]

Come on you guys, everyone knows that the .org controls the US government.
No no no , some parts of the org feel like they run things in conjunction with the US Govt. . Due to the immense pressure of seeing their arguements ripped apart with ease they have gone on to form a secret society . Where they can convice themselves without dissent or rational discusson that they and their minions(though that can be reversed ) are really running the world , and that only they (if left away from some sensible questions on their lunatic thoughts) deserve to run the world .

BTW can I join the new private Konservative Klub , I think you may have a vacancy due to some of SFTS 's recent posts

Bush and Kerry are members of Skull and Bones ( it's all a conspiracy ).

The problem with conspiracy theories are the lack of evidence. If these conspiracies have been going on for centuries now, then at least one would either cracked or left an evidence/proof by now.
