Thursday Thirteen #14: Secret Societies

Thirteen Secret SocietiesNumber #14 This week's thirteen is the secret societies that actually rule our world. I got the 13 from a selection from the Secret Societies Handbook by Michael Bradley. 1. The Order of Skull and Bones - founded in 1832 at Yale University by William H. Russell and 14 other under graduates. Some believe the skull and bones to be the American chapter of the Illuminati. George Bush and his son George W. Bush were members. So was the junior Bush's opponent in the last Presidental election, John Kerry. 2. The Priory of Sion - this society has gotten a lot more press due to the DaVinici Code. The Society was founded in 1090 by Godfroi de Bouillon, a French nobleman. The Sion are the defenders of the bloodline of Jesus Christ, who according to them did not die on the cross but went on to father a son and start the bloodline they protect today. 3. The Bilderbergs - Not names after any one person, this group was named after the hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland where they met in the 1950s. Offically it doesn't exist. It's members consist of the most powerful men and women in the world. The leaders are the Rockerfeller family and the Rothschilds. Every year they met for four days in a secret location and basically plan the fate of the world to come. 4. The Club of Rome - Founded in 1968 by Italian Aurelio Peccei. It has ties to the World Bank, the International Monetray Fund and the ruling elite. In 1972 it pubished a book The Limits to Growth that became a worldwide bestseller. It also led to some to believe that the group was responsible for the spread of AIDS. 5.Council on Foreign Relations - Thought to be the worlds biggest globalist secret society. Started by President Woodrow Wilson and his advisor Colonel Edward Mandell House. United States foreign policy does not get made without approval from the CFR. Every Presidental organization since Woodraw Wilson has had memmbers of the CFR in its group. 6. Freemasonary - No secret society can be mentioned without talking about the Freemasons. Their secret hand is supposed to be in almost any conspiracy. Masons were skilled stone cutters and they created a guild to hand down their secret methods of work. They trace their linkage back to the knights of the Crusades. Half the Founding Fathers were Freemasons. The eye above the pyramid is a Freemason symbol. 7. The Illuminati - The most powerful secret society. It was founded by Dr. Adam Weishaupt to fight religion and create a one world government. Today it is supposedly run by the Rothschilds. 8. Knights Templars - founded in 1118 in Jerusalem by nine French knights. They grew to be a powerful force in the world, second only to the Catholic church and supposedly that worried the church which in the end brought about their destruction. But their is word that the Templars survived and still flourishes today. 9. Majestic-12 - Founded in the 1940s by President Truman to hide the fact that our planet has been visited by aliens from outer space. 10. Opus Dei - A secret societ that exists within the Catholic Church. It was founded in 1928 b Spanish priest Josemaria Escriva. This group exists to gather power and money for the church. 11. The Bohemian Club - founded in 1872 as a males only drinking club it has become one of the most prestigious societies in the United States today. Every Republican President since Hoover has been a member. Every fall the group meets outside San Francisco at its 2700 acre ranch. 12. The Round Table - founded by Cecil Rhodes, he is also the founder of de Beers Mines, which controls 90% of the worlds diamond production. He was a white supremacist. He created the Rhodes scholarship where Americans are picked to go to Oxford University in England. Bill Clinton is the most well known Rhodes scholar today. The Round Table has connections to the Illumanti and their desire to create a one world government. 13. Trilateral Commission - formed in 1973 by some of the richest and most powerful men in the world, all hand picked by David Rockerfeller. Like many of these other secret socities its aim is a one world government controlled by the men that run this organization.
