^ I was about to make a pun on the word 'tapped', but I think I'll leave it to the imaginations of my less prudent fellows.

^ Read about it on the internet.

It seems to be a networking club; Supreme Court members, captains of industry, Presidents, Congressmen, Media execs, Defense contractors, etc.

A good number of them (and their children) have been members of Skull and Bones, and so the conspiracy rumors fly like mosquitoes in June.

^ Good luck with that.


I'm not trying to be condescending, but it didn't build up it's elite and secret reputation through being accessible.

Its purpose is to make people ask questions.


Given the level of interest on this and related threads, I'd say it works.

How awesome would it be though, if the only purpose of your society was to make people think you were up to something sinister?
"Hey guys, we're all loaded and well connected.......Let's make the conspiracy theorists tear their hair out!"
