At Skull and Bones, Bush's Secret Club Initiates Ream Gore
by Ron Rosenbaum, NY Observer

It’s the primal scene of American power, of Bush family values. For two centuries, the initiation rite of Skull and Bones has shaped the character of the men who have shaped the American character, including two Presidents named Bush.

And last Saturday, April 14–for the first time ever–that long-secret rite was witnessed by a team of outsiders, including this writer.

Using high-tech night-vision video equipment able to peer through the gloom into the inner courtyard of the Skull and Bones "Tomb" in New Haven, The Observer team witnessed:

• The George W. effect: intoxicated by renewed proximity to Presidential power, a robed Bonesman posing as George W. harangued initiates in an eerily accurate Texas drawl: "I’m gonna ream you like I reamed Al Gore" and "I’m gonna kill you like I killed Al Gore."

• Privileged Skull and Bones members mocked the assault on Abner Louima by crying out repeatedly, "Take that plunger out of my ass!"

• Skull and Bones members hurled obscene sexual insults ("lick my bumhole") at initiates as they were forced to kneel and kiss a skull at the feet of the initiators.

• Other members acted out the tableau of a throat-cutting ritual murder.

It’s important to remember this is not some fraternity initiation. It is an initiation far more secret–and far more significant, in terms of real power in the United States–than that of the Cosa Nostra. If the Bushes are "the WASP Corleones"–as the ever more stingingly waspish Maureen Dowd has suggested–this is how their "made men" (and women) are made.* It’s an initiation ceremony that has bonded diplomats, media moguls, bankers and spies into a lifelong, multi-generational fellowship far more influential than any fraternity. It was–and still remains–the heart of the heart of the American establishment.

Further revelations turned up by the Observer Bones Investigation Unit include:

• The words to the secret Skull and Bones "death mantra."

• Copies of the Skull and Bones tax returns, obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, raise questions about the legitimacy of the secret society’s claim to charitable tax-exempt deduction status–particularly relevant considering recent criticism of the Bush tax plan for favoring the privileged few.

• A possible explanation emerged in the course of the initiation ceremony for George W.’s decision to run for President in the first place.

1. And WHY Kerry conceded...
This was my first reaction to Kerry's quick concession and his hiding out from the public ever since. I believe that this was the plan from the very beginning and McAuliffe and the DNC and DLC played us like a violin during the entire campaign.

Thanks for posting this information. I will share it .

4. I'm glad I'm not alone in that.

You get that feeling too?
Skull and Bones won no matter who...

2. Remember, Gore Vidal, a man who's glimpsed behind the veil...
Said that in America "conspiracy theory" is now shorthand for "unspeakable truth"..

What, if not the madness of elite leadership, is Skull and Bones dedicated to? . . . Recently, Kerry has been asked about Skull and Bones, and his staff has made it clear that he does not intend to make any comment, now or in the future. . . . After all, he has taken an oath of secrecy.

6. True or No....

There's more of us outside this fraternity than in it! Time to take this country back! "Lick my bumhole" indeed!

(And just out of curiosity, am wondering why the British phrase "bumhole" was used in a ritual conducted in New Haven...)
