Yanking your chain?? wtf?
Look, Skull and Bones are a real group. They are based out of Yale University. It's a "secretive society" They are made up of a very select group of Senior students at Yale each year. Bush Jr and John Kerry are both members (among others).
I can't help those that don't want to pick up a shovel. At least read the frickin article...it'll only take you 2 minutes ffs.
I read the article before posting and, so what? A club with some stupid initiations, based out of Yale (which is where most American politicians seem to come from, anyway). And it had Bush (x2) as members (thanks Red Night).
What is your point? This is an important question. You've asked a question (Do I believe you the Illuminati), pointed to some web sites and never stated your position. I've stated mine, now it's time you do the same.

other big names include averill harriman and henry booth luce.
There are three father's of presidents on the list: Alphonso Taft, Prescott Bush, and George H Bush.
One grandfather of a President: Prescott bush
There is also one chief justice of the US: William Howard Taft.
So, if you take out the Tafts and the Bush's the list gets slimmer.
John Kerry was also a member.

Originally posted by Arrakhow come the Russian Illuminati allowed the Latvian Tal to become world champion then? Not to mention Petrosian, who was ethnically Armenian.
oh and heres a chess example. paul keres (wikepedia him if you dont know him) anyway his considered the greatest chess player ever not to have played for a world championship! you know why? because he was an estonian but at the time estonia was under the soviet union. the russian illuminati didn't want an estonian not just to be the greatest player in the ...[text shortened]... to lose in big matches yet his beat the likes of fischer, spasky, tal, karpov and kasporov.
Even Stalin was a Georgian.
