The Elite And Their Secret Societies

By Michael W. Howell

“The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society, and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the risks which are cited to justify it.

“Even today, there is a little threat of opposing a secret society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in ensuring the future of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it, and there is great danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment – that I do not intend to allow to permit to the extent that it is in my control.

“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion — on subversion instead of elections — on intimidation instead of free choice — on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.

“It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed”.
– John F. Kennedy

I chose to open this article off with Kennedy’s speech as a way of showing that this isn’t new, nor a conspiracy. In fact, there are many references to secret societies and just how hidden their actions are. In the Constitutional Republic, this couldn’t be more dangerous. What I mean by that is we have been sold this Democracy ideology in which the mass rule over the minority in what is deemed as a “fair election” process. In the Constitutional Republic, individual sovereignty is protected regardless of another’s view(s). This is inescapable to maintaining rights and liberties that those who do not agree with try to usurp to achieve malicious intent.

Undoubtedly and without question, some are plotting and scheming to take away our very nature and right to live free and our very own individual freedom to pursue our own happiness. They operate in darkness and in the shadows of mankind’s best intentions.

What is done in darkness will be brought to light.

“The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings, and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.“
– British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876

The elite are groomed and brought into the system and placed in positions of power in the academic field, media, technology, industry, banking, finance, and even, and especially political positions. They get their introduction and the ultimate test of worthiness in the “Order of the Skull and Bones” society. The Brotherhood of Death as it is called.

The Skull and Bones society are located at the University of Yale, but it is no fraternity. Its house, or Tomb as it is called, is creepy in appearance and by all accounts is appropriately named as it is dark and mysterious as a tomb.

Each year fifteen juniors are “tapped” by the senior class to be initiated in the following year’s group. Many have claimed that the members receive $15,000 and a grandfather clock. The initiation is ritualistic in nature and disturbing by any accounts, but especially concerning because this takes place on a major university’s campus.

It is recorded that initiates are made to strip their clothing and confess their sex life to members all while lying in a coffin. An oath of death is taken should the members betray the trust of the society and its secrets revealed. Makes the beer-guzzling, beer pong playing fraternities we know today seem elementary in nature. Yet, it gets very little coverage though the Bones men go on to lead influential lives in the fields they are awarded, or placed in.

In October of 1873, Volume 1, Number 1, of The Iconoclast, was published in New Haven. It was only published once and was one of very few openly published articles on the Order of Skull and Bones.

From The Iconoclast:

“We speak through a new publication. because the college press is closed to those, who dare to openly mention ‘Bones’….

Out of every class, Skull and Bones take their men. They have gone out into the world and have become, in many instances, leaders in society. They have obtained control of Yale. Its business is performed by them. Money paid to the college must pass into their hands, and be subject to their will. No doubt they are worthy men in themselves, but the many, whom they looked down upon while in college, cannot so far forget as to give money freely into their hands. Men in Wall Street complain that the college comes straight to them for help, instead of asking each graduate for his share. The reason is found in a remark made by one of Yale’s and America’s first men: ‘Few will give, but Bones men and they care far more for their society than they do for the college….’

Year by year, the deadly evil is growing. The society was never as obnoxious to the college as it is today, and it is just this ill-feeling that shuts the pockets of non-members. Never before has it shown such arrogance and self-fancied superiority. It grasps the College Press and endeavors to rule it all. It does not deign to show its credentials but clutches at power with the silence of conscious guilt.

To tell the good which Yale College has done would be well-nigh impossible. To tell the good she might do would be yet more difficult. The question, then, is reduced to this — on the one hand, lies a source of incalculable good — on the other a society guilty of serious and far-reaching crimes. It is Yale College against Skull and Bones!! We ask all men, as a question of right, which should be allowed to live?”

There is so much more to this group. I encourage you to look into them as well as all the societies I mention in this article. I do not have the time to tell all about each of them, but the information is out there, as many have written about these societies. I write in more detail about all the societies in the book I am currently writing about the New World Order.

The Bilderberg Group is another influential society that is dictating policy and guiding the elite in their conquest of individualism. Though denied for many years about its existence by the mainstream media, it has been brought to light and now acknowledged by all. The goal of this group has been downplayed and spun to the point that even when presented with facts about the group, we are made to look like conspiracy theorists instead of Watchmen.

The Bilderberg Group was founded in 1954, and the first meeting was hosted by the Dutch royal crown and the Rockefeller family in Oosterbeck, Holland, at the luxurious Hotel Bilderberg in which the group gets its name from. Each year about 130 hand-picked members are selected from all fields like media, academia, political position, banking, and finance, etc. and meet at a private secluded place to steer the global agenda.

The Group’s grand design is for “a One World Government (World Company) with a single, global marketplace, policed by one world army, and financially regulated by one ‘World (Central) Bank’ using one global currency.” Their “wish list” includes:

– “one international identify (observing) one set of universal values;”

– centralized control of world populations by “mind control;” in other words, controlling world public opinion;

– a New World Order with no middle class, only “rulers, and servants (serfs),” and, of course, no democracy;

– “a zero-growth society” without prosperity or progress, only greater wealth and power for the rulers;

– manufactured crises and perpetual wars;

– absolute control of education to program the public mind and train those chosen for various roles;

– “centralized control of all foreign and domestic policies;” one size fits all globally;

– using the UN as a de facto world government imposing a UN tax on “world citizens;”

– expanding NAFTA and WTO globally;

– making NATO a world military;

– imposing a universal legal system; and

– a global “welfare state where obedient slaves will be rewarded and non-conformists targeted for extermination.”

Look into the list of attendees of the past years, and you will see a reoccurring theme of the same globalist than are in other secret societies as well. I cover more in detail all secret societies in the book I am currently writing titled Anatomy of the Global Agenda.

Of the societies, the Council on Foreign Relations, or CFR, is said to be the most powerful and influential. With the same secret agenda as all other societies, the CFR is at the top as far as the pyramid of secret societies’ power is goes.

“The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for “the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government.”
– Harpers, July 1958

For example, every one of the candidates who ran for the presidency from the time of Teddy Roosevelt was “hand-picked” by the Council on Foreign Relations acting on the instructions of the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), the conduit through which directives flow.
– Dr. John Coleman

“We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent.”
– Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, 1950

“The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down…but, in the end, run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.”
– CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in the April 1974 issue of the CFR’s journal, Foreign Affairs.

“The planning of the UN can be traced to the ‘secret steering committee’ established by Secretary [of State Cordell] Hull in January 1943.

“ All of the members of this secret committee, with the exception of Hull, a Tennessee politician, were members of the Council on Foreign Relations. They saw Hull regularly to plan, select, and guide the labors of the [State] Department’s Advisory Committee. It was, in effect, the coordinating agency for all the State Department’s postwar planning.”

Professors Laurence H. Shoup and William Minter, writing in their study of the CFR, “Imperial Brain Trust: The CFR and the United States Foreign Policy.” (Monthly Review Press, 1977).

The Council on Foreign Relations is another Rockefeller funded global think tank that was incorporated as the American branch of the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA) in New York on July 29, 1921. Founding members include a confirmed Rothschild agent and Freemason “Colonel” Edward House. And of course the typical New World Order members of the time; J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, Otto Kahn, and Jacob Schiff. Going all the way to present time with globalists like Dick Cheney, a former director of the CFR, to Hillary Clinton and Henry Kissinger.

Well, Les, Pete, I want to thank you all for the warm welcome today. I see a lot of old friends in the room. And it’s good to be back at the Council on Foreign Relations. As Pete mentioned, I’ve been a member for a long time and was actually a director for some period of time. I never mentioned that when I was campaigning for reelection back home in Wyoming — (laughter) — but it stood me in good stead. I value very much my experience, exposure to the tremendous people involved and the involvement and the ideas and the debates on the great policy issues of the day
– Dick Cheney speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations

The strangest society of them all is the Bohemian Grove. Once you research more into Bohemian Grove, it makes the ritualistic behavior of Skull and Bones seem like child’s play. It was said to have been infiltrated years ago by radio host and media owner, Alex Jones. And the footage that came out of there was just plain, well, sickening.

Making up much of the members that make up the other societies, the Bohemian Grove membership mirrors those of the CFR, Bilderberg, and the rest.

For over 125 years, leaders of State, media, academia, and other fields in dominant, influential positions meet at the 2,700 acres in Sonoma County, California. What has been recorded and reported on about the “Grove” is mind-boggling to actually know that high-ranking and influential people are performing these rituals in a Redwood forest in front of a 40-foot owl – Moloch.

Dressed in their sacred ritualistic robes, they take place in a ceremony called “Cremation of Care,” in which they mock sacrifice to Moloch in a fiery pit. Strange right? If Alex didn’t have video footage of his and Mike Hanson’s infiltration of the Grove, then we might never really have solid proof of what goes on there. They chant, scream, and the eeriest of sounds can be heard coming from the ceremony.

This is an all-male membership club, and some who have attended the Grove has made some interesting comments. One of the most quoted is from former Bohemian Grove attendee, Richard Nixon.
…the most faggy God Damned thing you could imagine.”
-Richard Nixon

To really grasp and understand just how ritualistic the luciferin agenda is looking no farther than the Bohemian Grove. The Synagogue of Satan is present, and its ideology spews from the grove. Much more can be found about the Bohemian Grove, and I encourage all to look into the actions and membership of the Grove.

The Trilateral Commission is a David Rockefeller/Zbigniew Brzezinski creation founded in 1973. David Rockefeller was chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations. Acting as a diversion from the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission has pretty much the same lineup and key players with the agenda of globalism at the forefront of its ideology.

Notice the founding members down to the attending members are a tight group of known and admitted globalists. To keep the masses in line and unaware of the agenda, it takes a small group in the “know” and its puppets blind to the big picture of things. It is through these roundtables or thinks tanks that they can relay the agenda to participating agents to carry out the globalist plan of the New World Order.

“The Trilateral Commission is international and is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the U.S.”
– Barry Goldwater

“Many of the original members of the Trilateral Commission are now in positions of power where they can implement policy recommendations of the Commission; recommendations that they, themselves, prepared on behalf of the Commission. It is for this reason that the Commission has acquired a reputation for being the Shadow Government of the West.”

– Journalist and Trilateral Commission researcher Robert Eringer

While I didn’t really get into all the secret societies out there such as the Freemasons, Club of Rome, and others, believe me, they are all intertwined and all a part of a much bigger controlling shadow government – the Illuminati.

At the top of the pyramid is this small controlling group of individuals that are steering us deeper into the rabbit hole and tempting our peaceful nature with their tyrannical hold that is circling the globe and placing the chains on us tighter and tighter.

“Fifty men have run America, and that’s a high figure.”

– Joseph Kennedy, The New York Times, July 26th, l936

There is a shadow government that is coming at our liberties and freedoms and is operating in the shadows of these groups. It is time we bring their activity to light and expose them for the crimes against humanity that they are guilty of. From global depopulation plans to agenda 21 to war for resources and domination, their feet must be held to the fire and justice served. We can end globalism, but we have to be united against the agenda and not divided in our differences. We are not each other’s enemy, only the result of the planned division.
