SCARABBEAN SENIOR SECRET SOCIETY


Is SSSS a Mafia Cult at University of Tennessee Knoxville?

Are Pirates of the Scarabbean (a/k/a Dungeaters Anonymous) a UT franchise of CIA's Narco-Nazi Warlords, Yale's Skull and Bones and Illuminati's Satanic, er, "Luciferian" bid for treasonous hostile takeover of the Brave New World and the destruction of the United States of America?

Is Dung-Eater an apropriate name for UT students who live in a nuclear toilet unflushed by a Mafia-connected garbage, car-theft and tow-trucking cartel at Earth's largest nuke dump with ties to terrorism and treason on 9-11-2001?

When will UT do as Board of Regents at Pellissippi State and simply ban all democratic elections and conduct "interviews" for Student "Corporate Government" to brainwash unelected, appointed "regional homerulers" for Future UN Inc.'s New World Odor? AKA Ponzi scheme replacement of all Governments, Constitutions with private Corporate dictatorships (NGO - Non-Governmental Organizations as "United Nations" names them) - and banning ownership of all private property.

A collection of dozens of news articles from pissied-off members of UT student government and writers at Daily Beacon about pissed-off members of SSSS - video files and audio files on post-grad Secret Societies including video of actual Ritual Killings at Knoxville News-Sentinel's Bohemian Grove - and transcript of the webmaster chewed ouut by one of Ambassador Howard Baker's Scarabbeans. Analysis of impact of secret societies on democratic-republican governments at college, local, state, national and international levels. The first half discusses background on secret societies and the second half is dedicated to SSSS.

Masonic dagger of 8, 9, 10 degrees in Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction - Initiation ritual for Freemasons and for other collegiate Secret Societies are made under threat of assassination for revealing Official Secrets - Does SSSS do likewise?

"Scarabs" - AKA "dung beetles" - do fit in with the Illuminati's worship of ancient Egypt and its pyramid schemes. "Scarabbean" does fit with the observation by Common Cause that, "Tennessee is the Cayman Islands of the campaign finance system, similar to the money-laundering paradise of the Caribbean." And "Scarab" is incidentally the name of the offshore "racing" boats preferred by "Pirates" (incidentally the name of Scarabbean's underground newsletter) and narco-bootleggers in real-world and on Miami Vice, and the owner of Scarab Boats was gunned down at his manufacturing plant in Florida. At the very least it provides blackmail material to ensure compliance when calling upon alumni for future favors for the rest of their lives—or else. Is an invite to SSSS just patronizing SGA so they won't whine about being bossed by UT's politically appointed administration? Or, could it be... SATAN?!

WANTED: Insider info on SSSS initiation, blood oath ("death mantra"), quid pro quo, rituals, machinations, location of temple, photos, audiotape, videotape, ect. To contribute intelligence to this historical briefing, please email the webmaster ASAP. Got an axe to grind? Here's your big chance!

NOTICE: Obviously, not every person in the SSSS is evil, criminal or insane, just as in all other segments of society. Estimates of evil, insane criminals in the SSSS range from 10% to 90% (depending upon the definitions), which is the same figure for other secret societies and other professions. However, when members of the SSSS do go bad, they probably do so with greater ambition and destruction. Most secret societies have Codes of Silence, like the Mafia's Omerta or the Blue Wall of Silence for police, with rituals of execution for narcing on the naughty. Likewise, no implication is made as to good/evil of any religion or lack thereof. Great evil has certainly been performed in the name of every religion, at least once a "government" got hold of it. Perhaps half of all Scarabs fail to remain actively involved, but even then may be called upon "to perform" whenever required. This webmaster does not promote prohibitions which only benifit police-prison complex and organized crime and lead to destruction of families and literal slavery of millions in USA today (an American tradition). UT's Scarabbean Secret Society is not to be confused with UT's Party of Darkness, which is not totally secret, just a total joke. In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.

Official Secret Acts

"The intruders discovered "one room" adorned with nothing but Nazi paraphernalia."
—Ron Rosenbaum, Esquire Magazine, "The Last Secrets of the Skull & Bones", September 1977

"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: 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. Yes, the death mantra–here it is, the three-line Skull and Bones initiation-ritual theme that has bound three Presidents (including the present one) to their secret society:

'THE HANGMAN EQUALS DEATH!
THE DEVIL EQUALS DEATH!
DEATH EQUALS DEATH!'

Beyond the obvious skull-and-crossbones insignia, of course, the most persistent story is that initiates spend their senior year in the basement crypt of the Bones Tomb taking turns lying in a coffin and, in two long, intense, psycho-drama autobiographical sessions in said coffins, recount their personal and sexual history to the other 14 chosen ones. The death-centered imagery, the injunction to initiates that they must "die to the barbarian world" and be reborn in the Elysian company of the elect of "The Order," as they call it, is what makes Skull and Bones as radically different from a college fraternity as the Gambino family is from the "hunting and fishing club" that was their nominal headquarters. The devil figure pulled them into a white tent in the courtyard where, we think, they found their femurs and emerged with what looked like a thigh bone, although it was impossible to tell whether it once belonged to a human or not. They were forced face-to-face with a shocking tableau: a guy holding what seemed like a butcher knife, wearing a kind of animal-skin "barbarian" look, stood over what seemed to be a woman covered in 'fake' blood and not much else. The neophyte then approached a skull a few feet away from the knife-wielder-and-victim tableau. The neophyte knelt and kissed the skull, at which point the guy with the knife knelt and cut the throat of the prone figure."
—Ron Rosenbaum, New York Observer, "At Skull and Bones, Bush's Secret Club Initiates Ream Gore," January 18, 2002

"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there."
—William E. Dodd, U.S. Ambassador to Germany, 1937

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers, of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
—Ephesians 6:12, Holy Christian Bible

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
—George Santayana

2001 is the Year of the Scarab. Immortality has a price higher than most are willing to pay. To walk for unending centuries, one must sacrifice one's very soul. But is there a path that leads to life eternal rather than damnation? Are the denizens of the World of Darkness worthy to walk it, and can they pay the price? For centuries, their number has been few. While a powerful faction, they have not plied the influence or wreaked the havoc that other creatures have. But with the destruction of Amenti, the Egyptian City of the Dead, all that is about to change. What consequences will the new breed of mummies have on the World of Darkness? And how will the reigning supernatural creatures deal with these beings and a changed Middle East? The servants of Osiris rise to do his bidding once more. But what does this mean for the World of Darkness? Amenti is destroyed, Osiris awakes and the undying are reborn. But if they are not the ancients themselves, who are these new mummies? Mummy: The Resurrection brushes aside the veil of mystery and delves into the Middle Eastern World of Darkness to bring you completely revised and updated rules for playing a new kind of mummy character. Contained within are new spells, new horrors and new insights into the mysteries of Arabia, Egypt and the lands of the dead. Year of the Scarab novels - Although annual themes have run through White Wolf's Storyteller games for years, this is the first World of Darkness-spanning story told in novel form. What will be the effect on those that hide in the shadows when the long-lived and powerful mummies decide it's time to rise to dominance? Check out this epic Year of the Scarab™ fiction series - Heralds of the Storm, Lay Down with Lions and Land of the Dead.

Who's Who of the Elite Secret Societies

"State and federal laws should be passed prohibiting anyone from being appointed, elected or otherwise employed in any public office or position that has been a member of any secret organization for the previous five years, including the Klu Klux Klan, Black Panthers, Islamic Jihad, Red Brigade, Bilderbergs, Bohemian Club, Council on Foreign Relations, and/or Trilateral Commission. These laws should exclude the typical "grandfather" clauses, so that once these laws are passed, anyone who meets this definition must resign immediately. If anyone wanted to belong to these groups and hold public office, then these organizations must change their rules so that every meeting, including board of director's meetings, must be opened up to attendance by the public and the press, with two weeks advance notice published in the local press stating the date, time, and place of all meetings, along with the agendas of all meetings."
–Robert Gaylon Ross, Sr., from his book, Who's Who of the Elite Secret Societies

Who is Robert Gaylon Ross, Sr.? Born in Big Lake, Texas, BS degree in Industrial Engineering from Texas A & M University. After graduation, accepted a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant (later promoted to 1st Lt.) in the Army Security Agency (ASA),a branch of the National Security Agency (NSA), which is a big brother to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Military training was in the field of cryptoanalysis (the breaking of codes), and served as a Company Commander with an Intelligence Unit on the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in the Chorwan valley of South Korea, from 1956 to 1957 (after the fighting had ceased). Upon leaving active duty, began professional career in the petroleum industry. Served as an Industrial Engineer for ten years until being promoted into management, and was a manufacturing Plant Manager for over ten years.The past seventeen years as an International Management Consultant, working in the US, Japan, Mexico, Canada, England, and Iran.

Murdered radio network owner William Cooper of HourOfTheTime.com (still nightly on shortwave), author of Behold a Pale Horse (the "most-stolen book" at Barnes & Noble): Links to Secret Societies

William Cooper was reared in an Air Force family. As a child he lived in many different countries, graduating from Yamato High School in Japan. Since he has traveled through or lived in many different foreign countries Mr. Cooper has a world view much different than most Americans. William served with the Strategic Air Command, United States Air Force. He held a secret clearance working on B-52 bombers, KC-135 refueling aircraft, and Minuteman missiles. William received his Honorable Discharge from the United States Air Force in 1965. William joined the United States Navy and served aboard the submarine USS Tiru (SS-416), USS Tombigbee (AOG-11), Naval Support Activity Danang RVN, Naval Security and Intelligence Camp Carter RVN, Danang Harbor Patrol RVN, Dong Ha River Security Group RVN, USS Charles Berry (DE-1035), Headquarters Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet, USS Oriskany (CVA-34). William Cooper was awarded several medals for his leadership and heroism during combat including two with "V" for Valor. He served on the Intelligence Briefing Team for the Commander In Chief of the Pacific Fleet. Shortly after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building Rush Limbaugh read a White House memo on the air during his broadcast which named William Cooper, "...the most dangerous radio host in America". In March of 1999 William sent his family out of the United States for their security. After months of constant surveillance by federal agents, he was shot and killed by a deputy sheriff around 12:15 AM Tuesday November 6th, 2001 while serving of an arrest warrant on a "local issue". A deputy sheriff was also wounded.


Why do people lie?

Why care about somebody's membership in an exclusive club—a secret club that admits by invitation only? Obviously, there is no reason to care—unless that individual or group crosses your path, becomes your "superior" and leaves a wake of subversion, larceny, destruction and/or death. Knoxville's mayor, Victor Ashe, is an alumnus of Yale University's secret society, Skull and Bones. In reference to the mayor's schemes including annexing Knox County to pay for "downtown reconstruction", Carlene Malone, a member of Knoxville City Council, said to this author, "The taxpayers will be paying for this fiasco for generations to come. It will never recover. Knoxville must be the most corrupt city on earth." Chris Whittle, founder of the extravagantly bankrupt "Whittle University", is an alumnus of UT's secret society, Scarabbean. Whittle has "retired" on his winnings to New York city with his wife, an Italian princess. "King" Whittle is still attempting hostile takeovers of public and church school systems, with his Edison Project, likewise with profitably dismal results. Whittle University was converted to US District courthouse named for Scarab Senator Trial Lawyer Howard Baker, Esquire, Watergate committee during Richard Nixon's convictions, candidate for President against Ronald Reagan, then Reagan/Bush Chief of Staff during Iran-Contra narcoterrorism convictions, Bush Jr's ambassador to Japan. Baker's "The Firm", rumored to be the model for John Grisham's "The [Mafia] Firm", is defending UT's arch-nemesis, Cedar Bluff Towing and it's Mafia-connected twoing cartel HQed in Knoxville, in the class-action lawsuit investigated by the webmaster [ I 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5 I 6 I 7 I 8 I 9 I]. Ed Ingle, UT SGA for 1983, is now employed in Bush Jr's occupation of the White House, and presumably is a Top-Secret Scarab.

(La Cosa Nostra = "Our Thing")

The Pellissippi College Model of Student "Government"

Who needs secret societies when democratic elections are banned?

In spring 2000, this webmaster spoke with Pat Myers, "Director of Student Life and Recreation", about running for political office. I was formerly elected vice president of my freshman class at Hiwassi College, and was curious about doing a serious campaign on a platform of hardball evolution on real issues. Myers stated that the only "issues" identified by previous SGAs were complaints about having to walk 100 feet from the parking lots or the price of food at the cafeteria monopoly. I laughed that PSTCC has infinitely superior parking arrangements than UT, with adjacent parking spaces and no towing problems. Myers declared that student elections were replaced with an "interview and selection ('hiring') process", and that I would need to submit an application ("for minimum-wage 'employment'"). Myers alleged that the reason for this "improvement" was because, (1) students were "too apathetic", (2) prior representatives in student government were slackers, and (3) the Administration wanted to handpick student reps (as if their crystal ball is more accurate than the judgment of an electorate). I mentioned that if I had decided to "run" for "SGA" that I planned to focus on "real issues" in order to eliminate "apathy" both before and after the "election" - but that obviously was a moot point now. So now PSTCC Administration WANTS student apathy...?

Later on in 2002, this webmaster spoke with a previous president at PSTCC, who explained that he was very active in politicing within the system - and in identifying Fraud, Waste & Abuse of taxpayer funds. For example, PSTCC uses "student activity fees" to pay high prices to INTERNATIONAL entertainers to travel to PSTCC rather than hire local students (attendance is low either way - is this drugrunning for the local cartel...?). He also helped ID an administrator caught in the act of stealing from the SGA fund. The former president also warned the incoming SGA to fight against the Administration on the issue of murder of democracy. Unfortunately, SGA and student body capitulated, resulting in euthenasia of SGA. Who knows what price that will cost in the future?

Coincidentally, after I signed a form requesting that my school records be sealed from prying eyes (to prevent access to my home address), my grades got manipulated on numerous occasions (causing major inconvenience to have corrected). I had also reported a potential incident involving a school shooting at PSTCC. A student in one of my classes had an apparent mental problem, as laughingly described to the instructor by other students during a class break. I advised the instructor to immediately report this "threat" to administrators that the student had blurted out he wanted to shoot up the school. I did not consider it a laughing matter. I don't know if the instructor ever reported it, but no shooting took place. The next semester I spoke with the administrator in charge of legal matters, but she did not seem to remember hearing of the incident. I also asked questions about the "administrative law" used by PSTCC in case someone ever needed to use it (I just wanted to compare it to UT Parking Services scam). Apparently, PSTCC admin was not accustomed to any student asking intelligent questions as an equal adult - an equal adult seeking to go to class without fear of being gunned down at the OK Corral.

For the record, I did enjoy attending PSTCC and considered it a superior education to UT for freshmen and sophmores.

  • "Student" government "elected" by the POLITICAL appointees in administration - your parents had better be insiders in thhe RIGHT FACTION of Republicrat Party
  • Note the "Secret Society" aspect of PSTCC's mandatory summer "retreats"
  • Note the identical system of interviewing for a corporate management job
  • Note that corporations are never democratic and routinely include secret rules for success
  • Note that discrimination, favoratism and "fraternization" and sexual abuse are common problems for corporations under Title 7 US Code
  • Note that each candidate must also recruit five (5) "staff members" BEFORE "applying for the job"

A New Old-World Disorder

"Defining a New World Odor"
–Elliot Richardson, Attorney General of Nixon & Reagan Administrations, Lakeside Talk at the Owl Shrine at Satanic Presidential Retreat for human sacrifice and cremation to a 50-foot-tall Owl God named Molech at Bohemian Grove, 1991

"Here is one optimist's reason for believing unity will prevail... I'll bet that within the next hundred years, nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century -- 'citizen of the world' -- will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st ..."
–US Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, TIME magazine column, July 20, 1992

Satan worship and human sacrifice at Bohemian Grove presidential retreat Y2K

"[Clinton] Presidential counsellor David Gergen resigned yesterday from the all-male Bohemian Club, three days after saying he would not run around naked at its annual Bohemian Grove encampment and insisting he would not quit. White House spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers announced the resignation along with Mr. Gergen's departure from 17 other interest groups, charities and public boards ranging from the Trilateral Commission to the Bilderburg Group and Council on Foreign Relations."
–Frank J. Murray, The Washington Times, "Gergen quits Bohemian Club and 17 other organizations", 6-11-93

"The CFR (Council on Foreign Relations in New York City) is the American Branch of a society which originated in England, and which believes that national boundaries should be obliterated, and a one-world rule established."
–Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton's mentor), Professor of History at Georgetown University, member of the CFR, from his book Tragedy & Hope

"The goal is to create a new social contract for a global economy... If there is a name for the Clinton approach as a politics, it is this: One-nation politics."
–Senior Assistant to the President Sidney Blumenthal, Kennedy School, Harvard, April 23, 1998

"The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common — they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereingty of the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the CFR comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government."
–Rear Admiral Chester Ward, a former member of the CFR for 16 years

"The ultimate aim of the CFR is to create a one-world socialist system, and to make the U.S. an official part of it."
–Dan Smoot, a former member of the FBI Headquarters staff in Washington, D.C.

"Does it not seem strange to you that these men just happened to be CFR and just happened to be on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, that absolutely controls the money and interest rates of this great country without benefit of Congress? A privately owned organization, the Federal Reserve, which has absolutely nothing to do with the United States of America!"
–Senator Barry Goldwater, from his book, With No Apologies

"The Trilateral Commission is a vehicle for multinational consolidation of commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States."
–Senator Barry Goldwater

"Good Evening, my name is Leslie Gelb. I'm President of the Council on Foreign Relations and Commander in Chief of our black helicopter forces. Only kidding Kofi [Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations], the helicopters are yours. Tonight's event is on the record. And it's being webcast on the Council's website and also by CNN. A number of our colleagues from the press are here to report on this and to televise as well, so I remind you, it is on the record. We've been at this now for almost eight years. Let me thank some people. Our Chairman for the Center all along has been General John Vessey. And Jack Vessey, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, brings great wisdom to our enterprise. The present Director of the Center is Bill Nash, a retired Army General, who led the first U.S. division into Bosnia, and who played an important role for the United Nations in Kosovo. To advance our evening, it is my incredible pleasure to introduce the Chairman of the Board of the Council on Foreign Relations, Peter G. Peterson, whose brilliant suntan belies his civic accomplishments. (Laughter). (Applause). Permit me to remind Kofi of two of Ted's dozen or so nuclear strikes that evening. Referring reverentially to my book, Gray Dawn, he said let me tell you about Peterson's book Gray Dawn. This is a book that once you put it down you will not be able to pick it up. (Laughter). We were originally scheduled, you know, to rededicate the Council's Center for Preventive Action on September 11th of all dates. Kofi Annan, the much admired leader of the United Nations, of course, was to address us that evening. Please let me introduce our presider for this evening, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Chairman of our Center for Preventive Action, General John W. Vessey. General Vessey will introduce our keynote speaker, our good friend and I'm proud to say our Nobel Laureate, the United States -- the United Nations Secretary-General -- perhaps that was a Freudian slip, I don't know." (Applause)

"Although many people today would not view the CFR as a secret society it was originally set up as part of a secret society and it was kept secret for many years, in spite of its awesome power. Three connections between Satanism, evil, and money. Money naturally attracts itself to evil. For instance, if a woman prostitutes herself she may receive a great sum of money, but who will pay her for keeping her virginity or her dignity? If you are a hit man a large amount of money is yours if you kill your target, who will pay you if you would miss your target? Second, evil men believe in where there is a will there is a way, and they are willing to sell their souls for their god money. They will employ evil to gain money. Thirdly, the principle group of men who cranked up International Banking were Satanists from the beginning. These Satanists now are the ones who run the Federal Reserve and are responsible for the creation of U.S. Federal Reserve notes [so-called US "dollar bills"]. [Alan Greenspan was named head of the Federal Reserve one month after being photographed leaving Bohemian Grove.] Just having total control over the supply of U.S. paper money almost gives them leverage over the world's finances, without mentioning they control the world bank. It is no accident then, that once they established world financial control, they would do all in their power to divide and conquer and destroy both the Christian and the Moslem faith in God. These powerful Bankers relate to faith in God as Cain related to his brother Abel."
—Robert G. Pickle, The Last Deception & The New Beginning, Section 13

"First of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—Nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror. The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism, ownership of the government by the individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."
—President Franklin Roosevelt, discussing fellow Satanic Illuminati cultmember Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany and treasonous acts committed by Americans on Wall Street to intentionally create and profiteer from the Great Depression in USA. Prescott Bush was a Wall Street trial lawyer involved in businesses convicted for violations of the Trading With the Enemy Act

"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there."

"The national government . . . will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality."

Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, Russian Government Expert and Senior Economic Advisor To Vladamir Putin (George Bush Jr's newest, bestest US ally in "War on Terrorism")

Dr. Koryagina reveals her research of the September 11th attacks on the economic center of United States and the global elite's plans for the world at large. Specifically using the current merger of organized crime and secret societies. Net worth of Georges Bush is $1-Trillion and the New Old-World Disorder is currently $300-Trillion, and they will not stop "until US dollar is destroyed and US citizens are starving and dying naked in the streets" -- while they gobble-up investment properties are pennies on the dollar using Other People's Money (OPM). They will loot the world economies to "save" us from their chaos. Psy-warfare/linguistic-programming is one of their tools to brainwash the ignorant masses to volunteer for mass muggings and mass murders. Not to mention human implantation of Microsoft's microchips, begun in November 2001, with "upgrade" to "brainchips" by 2025 AD (After Democracy).

[Proudly "sponsored" by "BOEING - The Future of Flight" (moving its manufacturing plants for Pentagon contracts to slave laborers in Commie China who support Afgan Taliban and Bin Laden to murder US troops and slaughter 7 million Afgans)] Nov - Dec 2001 Issue:

  • "THE FP INTERVIEW - Reinventing War. One day after the assaults on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, four of America's top retired military leaders met with FP to talk tactics in the war on terrorism."
  • "ARGUMENT - A Matter of Precision. Air attacks on civilian noncombatants, whether intentional or accidental, have long triggered public revulsion. Yet bombing nations may be more humane than sanctioning them."

By attempting to wall off portions of cyberspace, these forces are undermining the Internet's potential to foster democracy and economic growth worldwide."
  • "Best of FP on Globalization" - "Will Globalization Make You Happy? Globalization is almost unstoppable precisely because it is driven by lots of people hellbent on increasing their prosperity. Human nature itself—the deep desire to amass resources, to keep up with the Joneses, and, if possible, to leave them in the dust—drives the engine that is transforming the world. The one realm where even a cynic might think human nature excels—helping people selfishly pursue their own well-being—is an area of frequent failure. Humanity is famous for pursuing things, such as power and riches, that don't bring lasting happiness. This question—Does globalization bring happiness?—is the $64,000 question. The point where more wealth ceases to imply more happiness is around $10,000 per capita annually. The Rich (and the Poor) Get Richer. Faster, John Q. Public— Consume! Consume! Consume!"
  • "Get Over It!" - "Fear sells, and we are forever marketing it. The suspicion that an apocalypse awaits around the next corner shapes our awareness of everything from the AIDS epidemic, genetically modified foods, and global warming to the more prosaic reality of deepening and proliferating links between people and places around the world. While fearmongers understandably exploit the specter of runaway epidemics, monster mushrooms, and worsening weather, it is less obvious why globalization inspires so much worry. National identities are dead. This proposition is so terrifying—and widely accepted—that nearly every debate about globalization begins by fretting over it. Big fish eat the little fish. Unaccountable global institutions wield supreme power. The World Trade Organization may be elitist, but its inept management has stalled trade liberalization—not created a "New World Order." The International Monetary Fund dares not intervene on a global scale after its uneven handling of the Asian and Russian financial crises. United Nations 'peacekeepers' have flopped spectacularly in one country after another." [As dictators slaughter millions under the "protection" of United MNations troops.]
  • "Bottom Feeders - The current debates over economic globalization have produced a seemingly simple and intuitive conclusion: Unfettered globalization triggers an unavoidable "race to the bottom" in labor and environmental standards around the world. The reduction of restrictions on trade and cross-border investment frees corporations to scour the globe for the country or region where they can earn the highest return. National policies such as strict labor laws or rigorous environmental protections lower profits by raising the costs of production. Multinational corporations will therefore engage in regulatory arbitrage, moving to countries with lax standards. Fearing a loss of their tax base, nation-states have little choice but to loosen their regulations to encourage foreign investment and avoid capital flight. The inevitable result: a Darwinian struggle for capital where all other values-including workers' rights and the environment-are sacrificed upon the altar of global commerce."

Moon - The hard shell of our crustacean recalls the armor (the exoskeleton) of Death. In Egypt the scorpion goddess Selket protects the dead (Cooper s.v. scorpion), and Khephra, the scarab beetle, symbolizes resurrection. Like all cold-blooded creatures, the scorpion/crab symbolizes immortality, but immortality joined with the universal fears of the collective unconscious- "the nameless and hideous tendency which is lower than the savage beast" (Waite 140), a stratum of the psyche lower than the reptilian brain. (Crowley 112; Nichols 317, 321; Pollack I.115) We also recall the scorpion that Artemis sent to kill Orion and his dog (for this story see 6.Love, where the scorpion and dogs also appear). The dog is Sirius, the Dog Star or Star of Isis (the central star of 16.Star). Neoclassical Sacrifice, Ta Hiera Sacra, General Celebratory Ritual Outline, Apollonius Sophistes, © 1994. The Sacrificial Offering: The sacrificial offering (Grk. hiereíon, Lat. sacrificium) should be perfect and have no blemishes; white is best for Olympian Gods; it may also be decorated with garlands, white ribbons and the like. Nowadays it is generally inappropriate to sacrifice a live animal; even in ancient times, Empedocles, Varro, Seneca and others argued that the Gods do not demand blood-sacrifice. The Altar: The altar (Grk., bômós, Lat. ara) may be a brick or stone table, pillar, heap of stones, a stack of sod cut for the occasion, or simply a pile of the remnants of previous sacrifices. It may be from a few inches to several feet high; it may have steps if it is very high. The altar must provide a hearth (usually metal) for the sacred fire. The altar should not be moved once it has been used. The Fire: The altar fire (Grk. hestía, Lat. focus) should be pure and undefiled by death or other pollutions (míasma). If the fire has been defiled, then a new fire must be procured from the hearth. Pompê (The Procession): A procession should accompany the sacrifice to the altar, in which, preferably, a maiden (the kanêphóros, or basket carrier) bears on her head a basket with the knife (Grk. sphagís, Lat. secespita, culter) or other ritual implement concealed under grains of barley or cakes. She or another may carry a jug or bowl of lustral water. The procession may be accompanied by music (especially music of the aulos, a reed instrument), singing, torches and incense (Grk. libanôtos, Lat. tus). (In Roman ritual, the sacerdos (priest/ess) carries the knife in his or her belt.) Bruce J. MacLennan, Associate Professor, Computer Science Department, University of Tennessee

    SYMBOLISM - "The typical scarab was modeled after several species in the Family Scarabaeidae, but primarily the common Egyptian dung-beetle, Scarabaeus sacer, and its various subspecies. There were numerous variants of the sacred stout-bodied beetles. By observing the physical differences between actual beetles and the way in which they appear as scarabs, the types used as models can often be identified. In the minds of the Egyptians the efficacy of the amulet was based on the habits of the actual beetle. The scarab was believed to be: The heart of Isis, who was the mother of the deceased, thus identified with Horus: to be the heart which belonged to the transformations or becomings of the deceased's future life, in order to give soundness to their limbs; and to be the charm which should ensure their justification in the judgment. The scarab-beetle was the symbol of the Sun-god and as such could stimulate the deceased's heart to life. The scarab-beetle was the symbol of 'transformations,' whereby the deceased could make any 'changes' into whatever his heart desired."

    Hi John-

    I really dont' know much about the election problems in Knox county. I do
    know that they were numerous over at UT, as many students were turned away
    from the polls because of some kind of technical problems. I guy in my
    sociology class said that he even faced some kind of intimidation while
    voting.

    As far as secret societies go, I encourage you to check the Daily Beacon
    archives- you will find information on the Scarabean society, which is
    the secret elite society at UT that controls the student government
    association. Erik Beaty, the UT SGA president, has admitted to being a
    member. Go to http://dailybeacon.utk.edu for more information.

    Skull and Boners

    Yale Skull & Bones mascot with its Secret Number 322

    "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever."
    —Genesis 3:22, Christian Bible (KJV)

    First, let's take a brief look at America's top secret society at university. Then we shall have something to compare to UT's homegrown secret society.

    Coincidentally, a senior bureaucrat in the Bush Jr White House, Ed Ingle, "(deputy assistant to the president for cabinet affairs") is a former president of UT SGA (Class of '83). Is he a Dung-Eater, too? Odds are, he is. (Please email the webmaster if you know the answer.) Article from UT's Torchbearer newspaper is included below However, don't expect investigative journalism from Torchbearer, such as ties from Scarabs to Skulls, or what kickbacks he gets for his family's business (Ingle's stores?) or was he just a dumb liberal for contributing his time as welfare for a rich alcoholic jailbird who deserted the military draft and screwed around on his wife with a stripper and has now detroyed the american and world economies? Or perhaps some questions about September 11 when his boss committed terrorism against the American people and treason against American law? Like, how did it feel when his boss abandoned him at the White House to possibly die by American Airlines Flight 93 (before Bush ordered it shot down) while Bush et al were safe with his brother Jeb in fascist Florida (and taking Cipro 6 weeks before the first anthrax attack)?

    Another secret society, Bohemian Club at Bohemian Grove, an all-white "Satanic-type" cult of human sacrifice, including the elite "leaders" and presidents (including Ike, Nixon, Reagan, Bushes), that meet's annually at camp among giant redwoods in Califonia, shall be dissected for your horror and entertainment.

    Note that secret societies are NOT mere fraternities and/or sororities, which are theoretically open to the public within certain conditions such as branch of education or grade-point average. Secret societies allow active membership from both men and women, and also allow faculty to take active roles in these "student" organizations. Oftentimes the most "powerful" members of student "government" are coincidentally members of a secret society, and are usually elected to student government AFTER being invited to join a secret society. Oftentimes the most vocal whistleblowers are members of student government who realize they are "out of the loop" when decisions are prearranged before debate or "representative" voting by student government.

    fits into mediocre niche

    Carolina Powers
    Staff Writer

    What secret society takes promising, young college students and puts them under its covert control?

    No, it's not the Scarabs. The elite group that promises money and power to Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker is The Skulls.

    Modeled after Yale's Skulls & Bones, which incidentally counts amongst its members former President Bush and son George W. Bush (hmmm...), The Skulls takes the audience into a world where power is predetermined and elite members "live and die by the rules." Jackson plays Luke, a well-rounded and intelligent student at an Ivy League-like university, whose only downfall appears to be his lack of a trust fund and breeding.

    All of this changes when Luke and privileged classmate Caleb (Walker) are invited into a secret association.

    Their reasons for joining are completely different: free law school for Luke, and the dominating pressure of Caleb's father (Craig T. Nelson), an influential judge bidding for a seat of the Supreme Court of Skulls. Those reasons become skewed when Luke's roommate Will (Hill Harper) is murdered while investigating the Skulls for the college paper.

    Enter the proverbial clichés. Was it mentioned that initiates can never disassociate themselves from the group? Of course, it is different when they are removed by the group, "permanently."

    The film takes a wrong turn after Will's death. Director Rob Cohen misses an opportunity to show the characters' inner struggles, and instead takes the viewer on a road very common to moviegoers, good vs. evil, poor against rich, and so forth.

    Writer John Progue hardly does enough for the characters of Luke and Caleb. He shows no real direction and drive for their actions. Progue's formula of an action movie is in full effect here, right down to the girlfriend who "knew it" all along (Leslie Bibb). Even the ending is plucked right from action films of the past.

    Despite the lack of character development, the viewer cannot help but cheer for Jackson and Walker - indeed, they are also very nice to look at. The viewer should go see The Skulls knowing it is not Oscar material, but simply and predictably a feel-good action flick - certainly not original screenwriting, but somewhat entertaining, a good Saturday night movie.

      There was an article written by a journalist named Ron Rosenbaum entitled "The Last Secrets of the Skull & Bones," which was published in the September 1977 Issue of Esquire Magazine that exposed this Faustian Fratemity. It describes in detail how the Skulls' Tomb was broken into back then. The intruders discovered "one room" adorned with nothing but Nazi paraphernalia. The Iconoclast Publication of October 13, 1873 put out over a century ago talked of the Satanic Initiations that went on there.

    • The New York Observer - At Skull and Bones, Bush's Secret Club Initiates Ream Gore

      Using high-tech night-vision video/audio recording 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.

      Yes, the death mantra–here it is, the three-line Skull and Bones initiation-ritual theme that has bound three Presidents (including the present one) to their secret society:

      'THE HANGMAN EQUALS DEATH!
      THE DEVIL EQUALS DEATH!
      DEATH EQUALS DEATH!'

      Could one detect a capital-punishment theme here–the hangman as executioner presaging George W.'s prolific execution rate as Texas governor? "George W. equals death," you might say. [aka "The Texacutioner"]

      And what about the devil? (Well, the figure dressed like the devil.) Is that the secret they've been covering up ever since the society was founded in 1832, the offshoot of a German secret society: devil worship? A fulfillment of the paranoid fantasies of the fundamentalist right, who believe the Eastern establishment is a front for Satanic conspiracy.

      In May of 1994 a Texas Monthly story (p. 146) by Skip Hollandsworth, on George W. Bush, briefly stated: "Although he did not graduate Phi Beta Kappa as his father had, he did follow his father into the university's Skull and Bones Club, a secret society for the males of prominent families."

      The majority of Bonesmen are from old-line Puritan families. They include the following families: Whitney, Lord, Phelps. Wadsworth, Allen, Bundy, Adams, Stimson, Taft, Gilman and Perkins. A second group of families in the Skull & Bones are: Harriman, Rockefeller, Payne, Davison, Pillsbury and Weyerhauser. The Order of Skull and Bones was once called the "Brotherhood of Death."

    • The Order of Skull and Bones - Everything You Ever Wanted to Know, But Were Afraid to Ask - An extensive discussion of the society's origins and cooperative business interests.

      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:

      "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 takes its 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.

      "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.

      During the Opium Wars [of the 1800s], the U.S. chose to stand on the sidelines and cheer for the English and French.

      In July, 1985, the suppressed GAO paper reported that there were "no benefits from the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System, directed by George Bush. In fact, the overall effect was to encourage supply...."

      President Reagan appointed Reform Party founder and Texas billionaire Ross Perot to the President's Advisory Council on Foreign Intelligence. Reagan made Perot a special presidential investigator, looking into America's POW and MIAs from the Vietnam "War".

      Monika Jensen-Stevenson, a "60 Minutes" producer, quit her job after the CBS news program refused to air the story she had uncovered relating to the covert drug trade. Her book, "Kiss The Boys Goodbye", details how our intelligence community used the apparatus of the POW/MIA governmental agencies as a cover for the trafficking of opiates from the "Golden Triangle". From "Kiss The Boys Goodbye":

      "Relations between Bush and Perot had gone downhill ever since the Vice-President had asked Ross Perot how his POW/MIA investigations were going. 'Well, George, I go in looking for prisoners,' said Perot, 'but I spend all my time discovering the government has been moving drugs around the world and is involved in illegal arms deals.... I can't get at the prisoners because of the corruption among our own people.'

      Also, there has been much speculation as to the use of the off-shore rigs, pipelines and other assets of Zapata Offshore being used for narcotic trans-shipments.

      After stints as UN Ambassador and Chairman of the Republican National Committee for the beleaguered Richard Nixon, George Bush was sent to look after the "China trade". The Bush family is still very much involved in the economic activities of "Red" China.

      Many researchers contend that George Bush has been with CIA since the early 1950s, and that one of his jobs was to consolidate and co-ordinate the worldwide narcotics industry, the largest industry on Earth. Some say that one of the reasons behind the Vietnam "Police Action" was a cover for the consolidation of the "Golden Triangle".

      Then you have Prescott Bush's buddy Richard Nixon as an activist vice-president. Then, a nation-chilling assassination, some time under LBJ with the Bundy boys keeping things in line, then Nixon as President with "Bonesmen" aides Ray Price ('51) and Richard A. Moore. Some time out for a Trilateralist-Democrat-patsy president, followed by Prescott's son as an activist vice-president under Reagan. Next, we get a Skull and Bones president who declares a "New World Order" while beating up on his business partner, Saddam Hussein.

      After twelve years of Republican administrations, Bush passes the reins to his drug smuggling buddy from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, who studied at Yale Law School. According to some researchers, Clinton was recruited as a CIA operative while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. Could this be the "old Hegallian historical dialectic process"?

      Skull and Bones, the Yale secret society that claims both George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush as members, might be falsely claiming to be a public charity and not just a social club. Not just Skull and Bones, but at least seven other well-heeled Yale organizations also appear to be falsely claiming charitable status. Eight of the most exclusive organizations all have over $1 million in assets, all pay either no or very little income on their substantial annual earnings, and all claim tax-exempt status as charitable organizations contrary to guidance from the Internal Revenue Service. On most universities, fraternities and sororities engage in essentially the same activities, yet they qualify as social clubs and not as charities. Yale should not be in a class of its own, at least in the eyes of the IRS.

    • The Washington Post: George W. Was 'Skulls and Bones' Member at Yale - An article tying the Republican Party's 2000 presidential nominee to the infamous secret society at Yale. (February 24, 2000)

      Long before George W. Bush was a boot-wearing, twangy-tongued Texan, he was a member of Skull and Bones, "the most powerful of all secret societies in the strange Yale secret-society system," according to author Ron Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum wrote a 1977 Esquire magazine article about the 150-year-old private club and what he called "certain occult rituals of the ruling class."

      It has taken a while, but finally, Hollywood is weighing in – with a soon-to-be released movie, "The Skulls." Written and produced by John Pogue, Yale Class of 1987, the film portrays a sinister conspiracy – the Ivy League version of John Grisham's "The Firm" – that demands total loyalty and discretion from its members, who receive a guarantee of power and wealth – but must never reveal its secrets to the world. On pain of death. And even if they cooperate, their flesh is branded with the skull and crossbones insignia.

      The real Skull and Bones has a similar mania for secrecy, and according to Yale tradition, Dubya and his fellow "Bonesmen" are required to leave the room if the society's name is so much as uttered in their presence. "Doonesbury" cartoonist Garry Trudeau [Mr. Jane Pauly] – during the late '60s a member of a rival society, Scroll and Key – once broke into the Bones headquarters (he won't tell us how) and defiled the place by scrawling one of his comic-strip characters, the football-helmeted B.D., in the guest book.

    • Skull and Bones, U.S. Banks Financing and "Trance-Formation" - An interview with Antony Sutton in which he alleges links between the Skull and Bones society at Yale and a banking conspiracy with the Nazis. (July 6, 1999)

      Antony C. Sutton, 74, has been persecuted but never prosecuted for his research and subsequent publishing of his findings. His mainstream career was shattered by his devotion towards uncovering the truth. In 1968, his Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development was published by The Hoover Institute at Stanford University. Sutton showed how the Soviet state's technological and manufacturing base, which was then engaged in supplying the North Vietnamese the armaments and supplies to kill and wound American soldiers, was built by US firms and mostly paid for by the US taxpayers. From their largest steel and iron plant, to automobile manufacturing equipment, to precision ball-bearings and computers, basically the majority of the Soviet's large industrial enterprises had been built with the United States help or technical assistance.

      "Why had the US built-up it's enemy? Why did the US build-up the Soviet Union, while we also transferred technology to Hitler's Germany? Why does Washington want to conceal these facts?"

      Then, someone sent Antony a membership list of Skull and Bones and--"a picture jumped out". And what a picture! A multigenerational foreign-based secret society with fingers in all kinds of pies and roots going back to 'Illuminati' influences in 1830's Germany.

      Skull and Bones is the symbol of terrorist violence, pirates, the SS Deaths Head Division in WW Two, labels on poison bottles and so on.

      I've long thought that S&B fits the legal definition of a conspiracy and needs to be officially investigated.

      Hitler's economic policies were OK'd by the bankers right through the war...ITT, Chase, Texaco and others were operating in Nazi-held France as late as 1945. In fact Chase in Paris was trying to get Nazi accounts as late as 1944. When we got to Germany in May 1945, I remember seeing a (bombed-out) Woolworth store in Hamburg and thinking, "What's Woolworth doing in Nazi Germany?" While we were bombed and shelled it was "business as usual" for Big Business.

      Chaos, confusion and ultimately a battle between the individual and the State. The individual is the stronger; and will win. The state is a fiction sanctified by Hegel and his followers to CONTROL the individual. Sooner or later people will wake up. First we have to dump the trap of right and left, this is a Hegelian trap to divide and control. The battle is not between right and left; it is between us and them.

      The spirit of God is within us as individuals. Skull & Bones represents death. It has no life spirit and pretends that the State "is the march of God on earth". The thinking of immature juveniles, deadly and destructive and has almost totally infected Washington.

    • The Grapevine: Those Who Dismantled Our Constitution - Reprint of an article by Brian Downing Quuig exposing consistent cooperation among the wealthy elite in America and citing the Order of Skull and Bones at Yale as a major player. (January 2, 1995)

      The Genealogy of the New World Order, has traced the royal ancestry of George Bush, which traces from Charlemagne and Alfred the Great, all the way down through George Bush's inbreeding of 32 presidential cousins.

      Although George Bush's official 1980 presidential candidate biography listed both his Presidency of the TRILATERAL COMMISSION and his membership in the YALE secret society SKULL AND BONES, no major news organization mentioned either of these telling affiliations.

      From the beginning, S&B was the recruiting grounds for William Harrison Russell's RUSSELL TRUST COMPANY which managed the SKULL AND BONES treasury. Founded in 1823, the RUSSELL TRUST COMPANY superseded the Perkins family to become the dominant opium trafficking syndicate in North America. The shipping manifests from those days have survived intact to make this claim solid.

      Both George Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush (of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith) are descended from the same Pierce family of England as President Franklin Pierce. Originally known as the enormously powerful Percy family of England, a name change to Pierce was required along with a quick immigration to America, when their involvement in the failed Gun Powder Plot to blow up Parliament became known. One of the Percy castles, where this plot was hatched was known as Sion House.

      The wealth of the Royal Family of GREAT BRITAIN [a/k/a Sax-Coberg-Gotha from the GERMAN House of Hanover] and this Tory group in AMERICA was all founded on the illegal opium trade from TURKEY to CHINA. Today nothing has facilitated the illegal narcotics trade as much as the phoney drug war of the Reagan/Bush era. A dozen books name Theodore Shackley (who served as number two under George Bush in the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY) as the man who organized the opium trade in the Golden Triangle. Contra cocaine, Mena, Arkansas---it all tempts one to speculate that maybe the Bush family never abandoned their interest in this most lucrative narcotics business.

      President George Washington's apron for Skull & Bones - All Seeing Eye indicates influence of French Illuminati

      The black flag with the white skull and crossbones emblem, which was the corporate flag gracing all Russell Trust Company ships, which was adopted as the emblem of the SKULL AND BONES fraternity at YALE, acquired such a reputation back then that even to this day it symbolizes piracy.

      Eventually, S&B came to be dominated by BROWN BROTHERS HARRIMAN, the largest private investment bank in AMERICA. The CEO of this power group, Averell Harriman, was the mentor of George Bush's father, Prescott Bush. George Bush's grandfather George Herbert Walker, served as president of BROWN BROTHERS HARRIMAN. The Bush family has SPENT three generations in service to the Harriman interests. That is why it is downright nefarious that it was the widow of Averell Harriman, Pamela Harriman, who was the principle backer of Bill Clinton for President. Some cynics think that George Bush is still president, using Bill Clinton as a front, just as he had used Ronald Reagan.

      BROWN BROTHERS HARRRIMAN headed by Averell Harriman, the SULLIVAN AND CROMWELL LAW FIRM, headed by John Foster Dulles and the UNION BANK, headed by George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush, came to represent the entire business interests of the NAZI cartels in the U.S. before and during World War II. It may therefore seem astounding to the average reader that, after the war John Dulles could go on to be Secretary of State, his brother Allen Dulles Director of CIA and Averell Harriman Ambassador to the USSR. An understanding of this anomaly will provide a key to how the world is run.

      A careful reading of Anthony Sutton's works, WALL STREET AND THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION and WALL STREET AND THE RISE OF HITLER will reveal that the wealthiest individuals in the world (including John D. Rockefeller and Prescott Bush) financed the left wing Bolsheviks and the right wing Nazis and clashed them in war for profit and power. The two Wall Street firms most in the forefront of the financing of the Bolshevik revolution were J.P. MORGAN and BROWN BROTHERS HARRIMAN. A full half of the board of directors of these two firms were former members of SKULL AND BONES at YALE!! Percy Rockefeller, Prescott Bush and Roland Harriman were in the same pledge class.

      This group intends to control both sides of every conflict.

      The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Amendment (16th Amendment) of 1913 also issued directly from the Taft presidency. William Taft served as Commissioner of Internal Revenue just before being elected president. It is hard to imagine anything more oppressive than the IRS, which has been ruthlessly used to systematically destroy the middle class of America. The Federal Reserve is not federal , but is a consortium of private central banks. The federal government does not own a single share, and none of us can buy a share of this--the most lucrative corporate stock in the world. Shares are held today by the heirs of the original 20 founding families. With profits exceeding 150 billion per annum, no corporation in the world comes anywhere close. The Federal Reserve is simply the single most impactful agency upon the U.S. economy and the world's principle engine for the mal-distribution of wealth.

      The presidential election of 1912 had a great deal in common with the 1990 election---ALL THREE CANDIDATES WERE FINANCED BY THE SAME INTERESTS!! William Taft would have beaten Woodrow Wilson in a two-way race but another Republican, Teddy Roosevelt entered the race to divide the Republican vote. What did Taft care; he was promised the Chief Justiceship of the U.S. Supreme Court. With the Federal Reserve sure to become law, the international bankers now had a mechanism in place to fund a world war. They needed a popular Democratic president to lead the masses into war. Enter Woodrow Wilson.

    The president of the Florida Holocaust Museum said Saturday that George W. Bush's grandfather derived a portion of his personal fortune through his affiliation with a Nazi-controlled bank.

    John Loftus, a former prosecutor in the Justice Department's Nazi War Crimes Unit, said his research found that Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a principal in the Union Banking Corp. in Manhattan in the late 1930s and the 1940s.

    Leading Nazi industrialists secretly owned the bank at that time, Loftus said, and were moving money into it through a second bank in Holland even after the United States declared war on Germany. The bank was liquidated in 1951, Loftus said, and Bush's grandfather and great-grandfather received $1.5 million from the bank as part of that dissolution.

    "That's where the Bush family fortune came from: It came from the Third Reich," Loftus said.

    Loftus made his remarks during a speech as part of the Sarasota Reading Festival. The author of "Unholy Trinity: The Vatican...


    Bush, Kerry belong to Yale's elite secret society

    By Joyce Tang
    DAILY BRUIN
    jtang@media.ucla.edu

    When voters go the polls in November to elect a president, the two major candidates they can choose from will have a windowless tomb, secret initiation rites and a private island on the St. Lawrence River as part of their personal histories.

    Both incumbent President Bush and likely Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., are Yale graduates, 1968 and 1966 respectively, and are also members of Yale's secret society Skull and Bones.

    Each year, the exclusive society "taps" 15 distinguished third-year Yale undergraduates to participate in an initiation ceremony that "has bonded diplomats, media moguls, bankers and spies into a lifelong, multi-generational fellowship far more influential than any fraternity," wrote Ron Rosenbaum, class of 1968, in a New York Observer article.

    "What's so staggering about the fact that the two presidential candidates come from this particular society is that this is a tiny club – there are only 800 living members (in the whole country,)" said Alexandra Robbins, who authored an exposé on the society, Secrets of the Tomb.

    Skull and Bones typically selects its new members, or Bonesmen, by drawing from distinguished student leaders of campus organizations. Kerry was tapped because he was president of the political union.

    But Bush was likely tapped because of his family's legacy with Skull and Bones as both Bush's father and grandfather were members, Robbins said.

    Robbins, a Yale graduate of 1998, whose next book is an undercover look into sorority life, said she became interested in writing a book on Skull and Bones when Bush ran for president in 2000.

    She has interviewed over 100 Bonesmen for her book, even though Bonesmen are traditionally sworn to secrecy (even the rosters are secret).

    This presidential election will be the first Bonesman versus Bonesman contest, though the society's interests will not necessarily be split, Robbins said.

    "I've talked to several Bonesman and they view it as a win-win situation. There'll be hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions. Of course, some of them have their political leanings … though, as a group, they're going to be happy no matter what – because automatically, they'll have a connection in the White House for the next four years," she said.

    Though there is some speculation that Kerry and Bush may have participated in Skull and Bones initiation rites together since they attended school at roughly the same time, this is highly unlikely because only 15 Yale seniors are Bonesman at any given year because the previous 15 would have already graduated.

    Donald Etra, Yale class of 1968 and a Los Angeles-area lawyer who was in Skull and Bones with Bush, said Kerry and Bush didn't know each other at Yale.

    Etra is currently representing Andrew Dyck, a UCLA classics professor on trial for charges of sending harmful materials to a minor, and represented Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, the director of UCLA Hillel, in a separate case.

    Bush's campaign declined to comment on his involvement with the society. A spokesman for the Kerry campaign was not available for comment.

    Etra, who said he has known Bush for 40 years and remains good friends with the president, said it doesn't hurt to have connections through Skull and Bones.

    "You never know who's going to be the next president of the United States," he said.

    Though Skull and Bones is [allegedly] not the wealthiest senior society at Yale [Trillionaire George Bush Sr recently deposited a check to Yale of a $90-Million donation/bribe], it is by far the most influential and powerful, Robbins said.

    "The whole purpose is to get members into positions of power and then get them to hire more Bonesmen. Bush has done a good job of that; Bush has nearly 10 in his assemblage of advisers," she said.

    The power Skull and Bones' members seem to wield over so many domains, including government and corporations, has spawned much speculation and many conspiracy theories. For instance, Skull and Bones has been tied to theories linking it to the Central Intelligence Agency, the Bay of Pigs invasion and U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Even its secret initiation ceremonies and other activities run amid wild rumors.

    "A lot of the conspiracy theories are blown out of proportion, though they are sometimes based on some truths," Robbins said. "When the new seniors come back, the first thing they do is recount their sexual history, from their first masturbation to present, for an entire evening."

    Other facets of the secrecy surrounding the society include the private island and a "Tomb" where Skull members convene for meetings and activities. Its "Tap Day" results were once published on the front page of the New York Times, according to Yale archives, but rosters are now secret.

    Robbins was the first non-member to infiltrate the society, partially because she was a member of Scroll and Key, another secret society. The Bonesmen thought she was on their side, she said, but some were openly aggressive.

    "I've realized that members of the society take some things so seriously," she said, referring to threats made to her by a Bonesman who said he would destroy her career.

    Skull and Bones' secretive nature was the inspiration for the 2000 movie "The Skulls."

    "The movie was loosely based, but it did encapsulate all the notions that society thought about them – they believed everything in that movie," Robbins said.

    TIM RUSSERT: "Ralph Nader announces his decision on a run for the White House. What's your decision?"
    RALPH NADER, attorney-at-law: "After careful thought and my desire to retire our supremely selected president, I've decided to run as an Independent candidate for president. The problem is that the corporate government remains in Washington, whether it's Democrats or Republicans. The military industrial complex, as Eisenhower pointed out, is getting bigger and devouring half of the federal budget's discretionary expenditure. Washington is corporate-occupied territory, and the two parties are ferociously competing to see who's going to go to the White House and take orders from their corporate pay masters. I think there's a very good chance that President Bush is going to start declining in the polls. He's making a lot of mistakes. People are beginning to realize that he doesn't care about the American people, although he says he does; that as a conservative president, he's presiding over and encouraging the shipment of industries and jobs to the despotic Communist regime in China; that he fabricated the basis for the war in Iraq, which is now a quagmire. And if President Bush doesn't trust the American people with the truth, why should the American people trust George W. Bush with the presidency?"
    TIM RUSSERT: "In terms of what you stand for, this is what you said in July of last year about George Bush: "[Nader] said Mr. Bush was not only `beatable but impeachable,' for deceptions and prevarications on national security matters..." Will part of your platform be the impeachment of George Bush?"
    RALPH NADER: "Let me put it this way. When a president misleads, if not fabricates, going to war and sending our sons and daughters to war with no exit strategy, with a quagmire over there, that is very serious, Tim. If there's any better definition of high crimes and misdemeanors in our Constitution, then misleading or fabricating the basis for going to war, as the press has documented ad infinitum, I don't know any cause of impeachment that's worse. So what is an impeachment? It's a hearing to see whether the House of Representatives is going to accuse or charge the president with high crimes and misdemeanors. And then it goes to the Senate for a trial. Our Founding Fathers gave the Congress the right to fire the president. It shouldn't be a big deal. For far more trivial reasons, you know, Clinton was impeached. I think this country deserves a serious explanation of why, how, when this country was plunged into war against a brutal dictator tottering over an antiquated, non-loyal army, surrounded by hostile neighbors who, if he made one move against, would have obliterated him. It was oil. And oil has ruined so much of our foreign policy and antagonized so many people in the Third World, when we should be converting to renewable energy and solar energy and energy efficiency, all of which creates jobs in this country. So I think it is very important for the American people to take what happened last year very, very seriously."

    "John Buchanan, the Miami journalist who has mounted an incongruous but globally publicized challenge in GOP primaries to President George W. Bush as 'the 9/11 truth candidate,' beginning here today, has demanded that a bipartisan U.S. Congress impeach the President immediately based on the investigative reporter's allegation that the Bush administration 'has subverted the Constitution and brought the world closer to annihilation.' Over the past 24 hours, Buchanan – who became a Republican just two months ago to challenge the President head-on based on the administration's "lies and deceit" over the invasion of Iraq – has spoken with Burton J. Wides, senior Democratic counsel to the House Judiciary Committee; Dena Graziano, a press aide to Congressman John Conyers (D-Michigan), and Sharon Liggett, a deputy chief of staff to Florida Senator Bob Graham, the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Buchanan has forced into public awareness the fact that Jane's Intelligence Digest has reported recently that U.S. troops have secretly entered Syria, without apparent knowledge by the Congress, and that U.S. bombers stand ready to attack the Bekaa Valley. 'Now, Bush is in a no-win position,' says Buchanan, the reporter who discovered the so-called 'Prescott Bush-Nazi files' at The National Archives and Library of Congress and published stories in The New Hampshire Gazette, the oldest newspaper in America, in October and November of 2003. Buchanan also observes that any further intervention in the Middle East, particularly if it causes 'World War III,' is a direct concession to the President's right-wing, neo-con Christian base, which wants Israel to provoke a nuclear holocaust that eradicates Jews so that Jesus can return to earth. That story was reported by '60 Minutes' more than a year ago. Buchanan calls the Bush-Cheney administration 'flagrant liars and war criminals unfit for office.'"

Bush same as misfit British King Charles I and what happened to him.] A scandal and glamour magazine publishing group, American Media, Inc., headquartered in Boca Raton,Florida, reportedly has a picture showing George W. Bush and Victor Ashe, both naked, sex-squirming about in the coffin of the Bonesman 'Tomb' at Yale. The picture editor of the publications, Bob Stevens, was the first one in the fall of 2001 to die from breathing in weapons-grade anthrax in an envelope delivered to him. Known to being short-sighted, he held it up closer to his face, breathing in the fatal anthrax spores. For some time thereafter, the media group's entire building was evacuated and kept vacant, and their text and picture archives unavailable to the staff and others. The picture editor's widow has brought a damage suit against the FBI and others claiming their misconduct. All the circumstances support contentions of foul play in the death of the picture editor.

Also THIS series, Part 38.] [2] Another member of the super-secret Skull & Bastards cult is U.S. Senator John Kerry (D., Junior Senator from Mass.). He ostensibly left his first wife because of 'incompatibility'. His second 'wife', appears to be part of a marriage of convenience. She is apparently what is known as a 'dyke', and is the widow of U.S. Senator John Heinz (R., Penn.) She is heiress to the Heinz Ketchup fortune. Senator Heinz was assassinated by a sabotaged plane crash, 1991. About the same time, in another sabotaged aircrash, was murdered U.S. Senator John Tower (R., Texas). Both were snuffed out, as we have pointed out, because of matters relating to the murder of President John F. Kennedy, the Iran-Contra scandal as it involved Daddy Bush and the Bush Crime Family, and other dirty, bloody black ops of the American CIA orchestrated by Daddy Bush, part of CIA since 1959 and in 1976, head of the Secret Political Police. Credible sources contend that Kerry has been the male sex-mate of George W. Bush, including Victor Ashe, and various persons in the radio/television networks. To sidetrack and neutralize any later possible mention of this, in stating as a Bonesman that the matters are secret, Kerry volunteered that Kerry was at Yale University at a period two years different from Bush. No one in the monopoly press dared ask Kerry why he volunteered such a statement. Having compiled their own firsthand knowledge and details, two members of the Kennedy Family are in a position to know about this sordid relationship between two public officials. That is details about both Kerry and Bush, supposedly coming to the point of running supposedly against each other for U.S. President, 2004. After the Democrat Convention, BUT NOT BEFORE, the oil-soaked, spy-riddled monopoly press will suddenly wake up and announce that John Kerry and George W. Bush are known male sex-mates and analyze the national security consequences of that relationship. Thus, too late to pick other presidential candidates, the U.S. Presidential election will be blockaded. The current planned trick is to, thereafter, in dealing with the crisis, which would be both financial and political, that the Ultra Rich would foist upon the unsuspecting American commonfolk, an Emergency Administration panel, to run the nation. Called a troika, named after the Russian system of three horses pulling a wagon, the panel will be three Establishment trusted Fascists, to supposedly run the central government. This, while the asleep public is propagandized into accepting that the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights have to be at that point, cancelled and nullified.

    Is President Bush A Homo?

    Do ask - Do tell!

    BettyBowers.com

    Georgia W. Bush Jr - WASHINGTON POST - Bush: So-So Student but a Campus Mover - Yale was still a men's school in Bush's day and friends do not recall Bush having a particularly exceptional personal life. "He was not a wild rapscallion when it came to girls and getting dates," said Terry Johnson, who lived with Bush for three years at Yale. "He was probably less successful than most actually." In fact, his roommates were somewhat surprised when he came back from Christmas break junior year and announced he was engaged to Cathryn Wolfman, a student at Rice in her home town of Houston. Plans were made for a summer wedding, and like his parents had done 20 years earlier, the couple planned to live in New Haven during Bush's senior year. But the wedding was delayed and then called off. Wolfman, who eventually married and divorced, recently indicated that the relationship ended amicably but would not say who ended it. Bush said the parting was mutual, and Barbara Bush said the couple "sort of panicked." But at least one friend of Bush's who was around him at the time says it was Wolfman who prolonged the engagement and then found someone else. "I assure you if she had stayed ... George would have married her," said Douglas Hannah, a Houston friend. Lanny Davis, a Washington lawyer who was one of President Clinton's most visible defenders throughout various White House scandals, was a fraternity brother of Bush's and also lived in Davenport. During the height of the Clinton scandal last year, he suggested on national television that Bush might have some skeletons in his college closet, then quickly retracted the comment. Several times Bush got into minor trouble. Once it was for pulling down a goal post at Princeton with a bunch of friends while celebrating a Yale football victory. Recalled his friend Clay Johnson: "We tore that sucker down and the campus police said, 'You all are coming with us.' So we went marching over to the campus police station. Bush got caught with some friends "borrowing" a Christmas wreath from a store door in New Haven. He was arrested for disorderly conduct. In the fall of 1967, when huge numbers of college students were marching on Washington to protest the Vietnam War, Bush was quoted in the New York Times defending the branding of fraternity pledges with a hot coat hanger, saying the resulting wounds resembled "only a cigarette burn."

Even our least vigilant Republican social commandos have noticed that Mr. Bush has been peppering his otherwise delightful litany of patriotic jingoism and pleasantly embroidered CIA-intelligence recaps with the effeminate mating call "fabulous" -- three giddy syllables that are tantamount to coyly cooing, "Hello, sailor!"

    CORRUPTION IN HIGH PLACES III : SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY

    Bush's lifetime affair with Knoxville's mayor Victor Ashe - Will they share their Top-Secret Cure for AIDS with the rest of America and the world?

    THEATLANTIC.COM - Bush Skull & Boners confess to felony grave robbing, laying nekked in coffins with human bones, drinking out of human skulls and eating off Adolf Hitler's NAZI silverware - George W Knight of Eulogia by Alexandra Robbins author of SecretsOfTheTomb.com - May 2000

    When it comes to Bill Clinton, it does not take in-depth investigation to discover his degenerate moral compass: it is on the surface. At least by the end of his Presidency his Big Bible and Southern Baptist membership could fool only the most gullible of citizens. But with the Bush Family, including George W. Bush, more thorough investigation is required. In this article, we shall share with you just some of the information we have found.

    Let's first consider some articles that address George H.W. Bush's and his son George W. Bush's membership in the Skull and Bones society and what this membership implies regarding their ties to moral degeneracy. During the 1980 Presidential campaign George W. Bush's membership in Skull & Bones became an issue. In response, The Atlantic magazine ran a series of articles detailing the findings of their investigation. Here is an excerpt of The Atlantic from these articles:

    "The initiation ceremony, held in April, involves as many alumni, or "patriarchs," as possible, one of whom in each instance serves as the supervisor, known as Uncle Toby. The Inner Temple is cleared of furniture except for two chairs and a table, and Bonesmen past and present assemble: Uncle Toby in a robe; the shortest senior, or "Little Devil," in a satanic costume; a Bonesman with a deep voice in a Don Quixote costume; one in papal vestments; another dressed as Elihu Yale; four of the brawniest in the role of "shakers"; and a crew of extras wearing skeleton costumes and carrying noisemakers…at one point in the proceedings every initiate kisses the slippered toe of the "Pope." At last the initiate is formally dubbed a Knight of Eulogia. Amid more raucous ritual he is cast from the room into the waiting arms of the patriarchs...

    Yet Skull and Bones was not relegated entirely to George W.'s past after he graduated. In 1971, having been rejected by the University of Texas Law School and needing a job, Bush called a Bonesman, Robert H. Gow. Gow, who later told The Washington Post that his Houston-based agricultural company had not been looking for anyone at the time, hired Bush as a management trainee. In 1977, when Bush formed Arbusto Energy, his first company, he once again applied to Skull and Bones for financial aid. With assistance from his uncle Jonathan Bush (Bones '53), he lined up $565,000 from twenty-eight investors. One of them contributed $93,000 -- the California venture capitalist William H. Draper III (Bones '50). Twelve Bonesmen (including family members)and the son of a patriarch gave a total of $35,500 to Bush's 1998 gubernatorial campaign. At least forty-six Bonesmen or sons of patriarchs have given approximately $1,000 apiece to his presidential campaign -- the maximum allowed by law.

    Not surprisingly, loyalty often flows in the other direction. In 1984 Bush flew to Tennessee to accompany the Republican Senate nominee and Bonesman ('67) Victor Ashe on a seven-city tour. Ashe lost to Al Gore..."

    Here is an excerpt from a Yale Herald article providing more information about the debauched cultic character of Skull and Bones:

    Behind the sacred walls of Yale's secret societies

    BY MOLLY BALL AND EMILY BELL
    Summer 2002 | Something Blue

    While the past three presidents of the United State hold Yale degrees, two of them are members of one of Yale's more infamous secret societies: President George W. Bush, DC '68; and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, DC '48. Recent exposure in the big-budget thriller Skulls and a more intellectual Atlantic Monthly article has only added to the mystique and notoriety (or infamy) of Yale's exclusive societies.

    Although societies such as Skull and Bones, Book and Snake, and Scroll and Key are inextricably linked to the Yale name, these societies play a small part in the lives of most undergraduates, since they consist solely of a few seniors.

    Nonetheless, the looming and mysterious presence of their respective "tombs" and the awe they inspire make secret societies a very intriguing aspect of the Yale environment.

    There are reportedly about a dozen senior-only secret societies, only a few of which have tombs. The oldest, Skull and Bones, was founded in 1832. Not all secret societies date back that far; some formed in response to the entrenched elitism of their better-known counterparts. Most choose juniors and conduct interviews at the end of each year, though some societies actually accept applications…

    The dark, ancient "tombs" where the societies meet add to their air of bizarre mystery. Hardly noticeable to the casual passer-by, the tombs have few or no windows and are enclosed by locked gates. One rarely sees anyone go in or out, and the details of what transpires inside are kept secret. Rumor has it that Skull and Bones has the highest water bill in all of New Haven—enough to fill several swimming pools every month. Rumpus, Yale's campus tabloid, routinely reports on societies' alleged naked parties and debauched rituals.

    Most societies meet Thursdays and Sundays for dinner. Sometimes a guest from the community, such as a professor or local businessman, is invited to speak. Often, societies have members present their "autobiographies," revealing personal details—from childhood scars to sexual exploits—using props or slides. "Normally, you become friends with people and then get to know them; here, you get to know people and then you become friends with them," one tapped junior said…"

    The Today Show, in a segment entitled "Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden Paths of Power", noted Alexandra Robbins investigation into Skull and Bones:

    Sept. 4 — Inside a cold, foreboding structure of brown sandstone in New Haven, Conn., lives one of the most heavily shrouded secret societies in American history. Yale's super-elite Skull and Bones, a 200-year-old organization whose roster is stocked with some of the country's most prominent families: Bush, Harriman, Phelps, Rockefeller, Taft, and Whitney. Journalist Alexandra Robbins, herself a member of another of Yale's secret societies [Scroll & Key, across the street from Skull & Bones, where the undercover videotapes were made overlooking S&B's courtyard initiation rituals], interviewed more than a hundred Bonesmen and writes about the rituals that make up the organization. Read an excerpt from her book The Secrets of the Tomb.

    Despite the very disturbing nature of the ritual and activity of Skull and Bones, it should be noted that George W. Bush has never repented of and rejected it. To the contrary, there is evidence that he is still enslaved by the moral degeneracy that characterizes Skull and Bones.

    For example, George W. Bush's association with sexual perversion in Skull and Bones has spilled over into his government appointments while president. At PURITANS.NET we ran an article on the Bush record on sodomy. It is a record marked by a significant number of high level appointments of sodomites.

    Furthermore, there is evidence that sexual perversion is a continuing aspect of George W. Bush's own personal life. Specifically, there is evidence that George W. Bush has on-going sexual relations with a fellow Skull and Bones member (Victor Ashe) who was George W. Bush's roommate at Yale. You will note in The Atlantic article quoted earlier how "in 1984 Bush flew to Tennessee to accompany the Republican Senate nominee and Bonesman ('67) Victor Ashe on a seven-city tour." Victor Ashe- besides having been a fellow Skull and Bones member, roommate and cheerleader with George W. Bush – has a public reputation of being a sodomite in Knoxville, Tennessee where he is mayor. For example, the Knoxville Green Party has this to say at its [unofficial/banned] website:

    "It's rumored that NOxVile's mayor, Victor/Victoria Ashe, whose momma (who took Vic's place when busted for "underage legislating") was arrested for hit-and-run while hiding out at the mayor's house, is suspected of two arrests. One was in Washington DC and the other was in Atlanta, while he was a state legislator. They allegedly involved arrests while picking up homosexual prostitutes in public restrooms while dressed in a dress. Our mayor also was allegedly introduced on live TV as "The gay mayor from Knoxville," at a national mayor's conference in San Francisco. Mayor Ashe is rumored to have refused changing Gay Street's name to something less, er, gay, preferring instead the name "Gay Way." And, of course, as a lying, two-faced politician, he supports George Bush banning gays from military employment (he said while the TV news broadcast alleged the Republican mayor was a Democrat, while bragging about about taxing and spending the city into bankruptcy)."

    It is disturbing that George W. Bush would have close ties with a man of such a poor reputation. Consider, for example, this item from an article at News Max:

    Ashcroft Is Bush's 'Johnny Appleseed'

    John L. Perry
    Aug. 18, 2001

    "…In East Tennessee, solid GOP territory, Ashcroft had $200,000 to bestow on the police of Knoxville, whose Mayor Victor Ashe was George W. Bush's roommate at Yale University…"

    And consider this item from an article at USMAYORS.ORG:

    "President George W. Bush has announced the appointment of Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe, a Past President and current member of the Executive Committee of The U.S. Conference of Mayors, to the Board of Directors of Fannie Mae, the nation's largest source of financing for home mortgages. Ashe is the first mayor to serve on Fannie Mae's Board of Directors."

    Even more disturbing than George W. Bush's close ties with Victor Ashe past and present are multiple allegations of homosexual relations coming from former Secret Service agents who worked for the Presidential Administration. Skolnicks' Reports, which is linked from Puritan News Weekly, chronicles this testimony.

    Below is more information relating to this sordid story:

    SKOLNICKS: "Some top U.S. military flag officers are aware of the correctness and validity of our exclusive stories of George W. Bush and his male sex-mate since University and Skull & Bones initiation and up to date. These flag officers are gravely concerned with the national security ramifications of this relationship which is not a private and personal matter. The situation has caused the murder of a magazine photo editor [The CIA's National Enquirer in Ft Lauderdale, Florida - the first person killed by anthrax post 9-11-2001, with entire building permanently shut down by FBI] as well as causing George W. Bush to be subject to blackmail and compromise of Bush resulting in his conveyance to sworn enemies of the United States, and giving them aid and comfort, of U.S. financial, industrial, and military secrets."

    With that in mind, the following web sites mention suspicions that Victor Ashe, Mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee, is W's longtime gay partner. Ashe is an open homosexual, who has been described in news stories as sexually active and promiscuous. This would place him at high risk of contracting AIDS, and he may have then passed it onto President Bush (as Skolnick claimed and others).

    Skolnick later said that O'Neill was sacked as Treasury Chief because he was unable to stop Secret Service agents from leaking the Ashe affair to the press, or from quitting their jobs in disgust (Secret Service reports to the Treasury Department), among other things.

    Returning again to The Atlantic and Yale Herald articles on Skull and Bones, you will recall how the initiation ritual included both sexually perverse acts as well as an act of deference to the Pope. We have noted in other Puritan News Weekly articles and book reviews how sexually perverse acts seem to be part and parcel of the "religious" activity of certain high level Vatican officials. The late Malachi Martin – a former Vatican official- has testified to this fact. As noted at PURITANS.NET:

    "Martin claims that a good deal of the child molestation occurring now is actually Satanic worship. Part of the Luciferian rites of many of the priests, nuns, and hierarchy. He intimates that many who engage in this kind of "worship" are indeed secret Masons."

    The documented rituals of the Skull and Bones society also have all the marks of Satanic ritual, with someone actually playing the Devil, and with sexual perversion incorporated into the ceremony. Such wickedness in persons of high political estate places the U.S. government at high risk.

    The next president of the United States will be an initiate of the Order of Skull and Bones

    Attorney John Kerry campaigning for US Senate with Luciferian Freemason Anton La Vey founder of Church of Satan in 1982 - Notice Satanism's inverted Pentagram and Baphomet borrowed from Freemasonry

    "The gaunt, naked initiate, John Kerry, was lifted out of the coffin and his blindfold removed. As he blinked his eyes and gazed about the room, he was shocked at the scene. He saw before him members in skeleton suits, in red suits, in bloody, torn, scroungy garb, and in ghostly costumes. The heads of some were covered with black hoods. And he noticed that some wore sparsely cut, grayish robes with strange symbols inscribed thereon. He was then brought silently into the tower room before the mysterious hooded and crowned figure who sat regally on a throne. "Bow to the Master," the order came from attendants. But, who was the Master?, Kerry asked himself. Was this just an ordinary man, the human leader of Skull and Bones, or was this mysterious, hooded figure, in fact, the one whom men fear and quiver before? Could this be Lucifer himself, Prince of Darkness?"

    Senator John Kerry, Democrat from Massachusetts, appears primed to win the nomination of his party as candidate for the high office of President of the United States. Can he defeat incumbent George W. Bush? The polls indicate the answer could be "yes." In head-to-head competition, voters surveyed now favor Kerry over Bush.

    But oddly, no matter which man, Kerry or Bush, wins the electoral college and takes possession of the White House, one thing is for certain: The next President will be a member of one of the planet's most elitist and most exclusive secret societies, the Order of Skull and Bones.

    Digging Up Bones

    I am author of Dark Majesty, only the second book ever to be published exposing the Luciferian goals and exclusive membership of Skull and Bones. I have also produced two audiotape investigative reports unmasking the Order, The Society of Skull and Bones—A Stunning Exposé, and the indepth followup, Digging Deeper Into Skull and Bones.

    As an outsider, only one other person on Earth knew more than I about this wicked and ambitious organization: my good friend and fellow conspiracy researcher, the late Dr. Antony Sutton. Sutton's classic book, America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones, predated my own book on this subject. Just before his death, the elderly, ailing, yet still brilliant Antony Sutton was kind enough to send me his entire set of extensive files on the Illuminati. It proved to be a treasure trove of detailed, revealing information. Antony Sutton encouraged me to keep moving forward in my work of shedding light on this dark and evil group and the shadowy elite behind it.

    "I am old and in my 80s" Sutton wrote me, "and I have studied the conspirators and their crimes for many decades. Now, it's all up to you."

    Antony Sutton, who became the avowed enemy of the Illuminati while a researcher at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University, was delighted at the publication of my seminal volume, Dark Majesty. My book touched on and amplified his own investigative work, but also brought forth even more shocking details and discoveries about the Order.

    Before his passing, Sutton had seen the elevation of bonesman George Herbert Walker Bush (the elder) to the presidency. He also had observed the meteoric rise to political prominence of a young Arkansan, Yale Law School graduate William Jefferson Clinton, an ambitious initiate chosen by Skull and Bones patriarch Averell Harriman for future stardom. But Antony Sutton, if he were still with us, would be amazed at the sensational chain of events that have occurred in more recent years.

    From Elder Bush to Younger Bush and Kerry

    Yale elitist George W Bush Jr flashing the popular secret sign of the horned god SATAN that is commonly flashed on TV by alleged "Christian" Televangelists - Bush never attended Texas Longhorn college - He was a cheerleader with his college roommate and fellow cheerleader Knoxville mayor Victor Ashe at all-male Yale college in Connecticut and linked to homosexual affair in White House

    For one thing, there was the surprising emergence of young George W. Bush from relative obscurity to become, first, Governor of Texas, and then, President of the world's sole remaining superpower nation. George W., of course, is a graduate of Yale and a bonesman, like his father and his grandfather before him.

    As if that weren't enough to shake the cobwebs off the musty door of The Tomb, the Order of Skull and Bones' mausoleum-like residence just off the Yale campus in New Haven, Connecticut, there is also the matter of John Kerry. Kerry, as it turns out, is a brother of George W. Bush. Not a brother in the genetic realm, but a "brother" nevertheless in terms of each man's joint membership in the Skull and Bones.

    In May, 1966, John Kerry lay nude in a coffin and bowed before the throne as fellow bonesmen, in strange garb and mouthing mysterious epithets, gathered about him. As a result of that satanic ritual, he became a "blood brother" to George W. Bush and to some 800 other bonesmen alumni. These 800 men now hold positions of exceeding power and influence in fields such as politics, banking, finance, and education. One is President of the U.S.A. Another, John Kerry, wants to succeed him. Kerry's Concealed Jewish Heritage

    John Kerry's real surname is, of course, not really Kerry. And he's neither of Irish heritage nor of Catholic religious persuasion. Those are mere fronts, deceptive facades created by his masters for public consumption. Both Kerry and Bush have their images created and molded by their Illuminati overlords, the better to deceive the masses.

    The persona created by the Illuminati for bonesman initiate George W. Bush was that he would be an earthy, cowboy and boots Texas type. This was to be an image which, naturally, belied George's Kennebunkport, Maine, roots and his privileged Brahmin upbringing among the Wall Street elite of his grandfather, Prescott Sheldon Bush.

    Nobody much cares for a wealthy New Englander and Yale graduate who got to Yale by blood ties, not on merit, and who dodged military service, drank, and partied most of his life. So, young playboy George, who never worked a day in his life, was chosen to play the part of a Texan tycoon and to portray himself as a reformed, evangelical, born again Christian.

    The Illuminati even brought imposter evangelist, 33rd degree Masonic brother Billy Graham, in on the deal. The propaganda script written by the Illuminati called for playboy George W. Bush to be turned around and "saved" personally by Billy Graham. It all "happened" when, while visiting the Bush family in their beachside mansion at Kennebunkport, Maine, evangelist Billy Graham took a walk with George along the beach by the sparkling ocean and prayed with him. That's the myth, and it sold good to the gullible Christian masses, who eagerly pulled the "correct" lever or marked the correct spot on the ballot for George W., "born again Christian," to be elected President of the U.S.A.

    Kerry's Czechoslovakian and Wall Street Roots

    Now comes bonesman John Kerry, whose real name is John Kohn, whose wealthy father, Richard Kohn, was a State Department big shot and whose Jewish grandfather, Fritz Kohn, originally came over to the U.S.A. from Czechoslovakia. Fritz Kohn set up shop with fellow Jews on Wall Street and soaked up a fortune ripping off hapless Gentile clients.

    In Massachusetts, Jews are not as popular as Irish Catholics, so the name "Kerry" was assigned the Kohn tribe. For his entire life, John Kerry has pretended to be Irish and Catholic. It got him his U.S. Senator post some 19 years ago. Now he wants to be President, and rich Jews have billions to donate to Jewish and pro-Zionist candidates. So, in 2003, Kerry publicly announced that he had just made a startling genealogical discovery. "Yep, I'm Jewish," Kerry told the press. "I never would have thought it," he said. "Gee whiz."

    My investigation shows that Teresa Heinz, the wife of John Kerry, is also Jewish. Heir to the billion dollar Heinz ketchup and foods dynasty, Teresa is active in Jewish and Israeli causes. She's chair of Hadassah, the national Jewish women's organization. Kerry's brother is also now out of the closet as a Jew, and regularly attends worship at a Jewish synagogue. He evidently dropped the Kerry family pretense of being "Irish Catholic."

    For some reason, the Illuminati has decided that it is time. Time for many formerly hidden Jews to come out of the closet. A few years ago, Madeline Albright, Clinton's Secretary of State, surprisingly "discovered" she was a Czech Jew. General Wesley Clark, another Democrat, also made the same discovery just this year. Clark now says his father's real name was "Kanne," Jewish. The General even bragged to a Jewish group of millionaires whom he auditioned with that, "My Jewish father came from a long line of Rabbis."

    Jewish Conspirators in the White House

    Yes, it does seem a certainty that whether Bush or Kerry, our next President will be a bonesman. He may be a Jew, too, and his vice President may be a Jew. Two Jews who once claimed to be Gentiles!

    So what's the big deal? Why does it matter? Well, you history buffs may recall that in 1917, two closet Jews named Lenin and Trotsky vaulted to the leadership of the Russian Empire, an empire then among the world's greatest superpowers. They and their Jewish henchmen went on to imprison, torture, and kill some 66 million Christians and other "enemies" of Jewish Zionism. The Soviet gulags, run by Jewish commandants, dwarfed the Nazi concentration camps in size and deadliness.

    Could it happen again, this time in America? You better believe it can! We should not forget that, at their occultic initiation, the rich young men tapped to become bonesmen by the Order are cautioned by their mysterious, hooded leader that they, bonesmen, are to reign as gods on earth, the Chosen Ones. They are also told they must never forget that, "All those creatures outside the Order are barbarians, vandals, and gentiles."

    "When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull. And they crucified him. And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God."

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    "After two of its representatives attended a screening of Mel Gibson's film The Passion of The Christ at a religious gathering in Florida, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today renewed its concerns about the film's potential to promote anti-Semitism through its 'painful portrayal of Jews' as being responsible for the death of Jesus. The film is scheduled for national release on Ash Wednesday, February 25. Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, who attended the screening at the Beyond All Limits Conference in Orlando along with Rabbi Gary Bretton-Granatoor, ADL Interfaith Consultant, issued the following statement: 'We were saddened and pained to find that 'The Passion of the Christ' continues its unambiguous portrayal of Jews as being responsible for the death of Jesus. There is no question in this film about who is responsible. At every single opportunity, Gibson's film reinforces the notion that the Jewish authorities and the Jewish mob are the ones ultimately responsible for the Crucifixion. It is shocking that Mel Gibson has not fulfilled his promise to remove the most troublesome aspects of this film and has ignored the warnings of Jewish and Catholic interfaith scholars about the explosive nature of the traditional Passion Play narrative.'"

They registered for the conference under a fabricated church name and signed a non-disclosure agreement regarding contents of the film. But afterwards, they called reporters to complain that the movie includes a verse from the Gospels that historically has been used to blame the Jewish people for killing Jesus. In Matthew 27:25, Jews calling for Jesus' crucifixion say, 'His blood be on us and on our children.'"

    "A prominent Jewish organization has denounced Mel Gibson's 'The Passion' as an act of terrorism and can prove the movie violates the Patriot Act. Jews Against Anti-Semitism, a recently formed Washington D.C. based defense league for Jews, has issued a press release pointing out sections of U.S. law which are being violated by Mel Gibson's film. 'Clearly there are laws on the books which have outlawed the inciting of riots or acts civil disobedience which endanger human life. Mel Gibson's movie will incite violence against Jews and put the lives of million of Jews in danger,' said Rabbi David Feldman, a spokes person for Jews Against Anti-Semitism. According to Rabbi Feldman, 'Under Section 802 of the 2001 USA Patriot Act, any crime which endangers human life is defined as an act of domestic terrorism. Mel Gibson's incitement of anti-Semitism is a civil disobedience crime which endangers human life and under the Patriot Act 'The Passion' is an act of domestic terrorism.' The USA Patriot Act was signed into law by President George W. Bush shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C. in order to protect Americans from terrorism. 'We are hereby calling on Attorney General John Ashcroft, the Department of Justice, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and the Department of Homeland Security to arrest Mel Gibson as a terrorist, confiscate all prints of 'The Passion', confiscate all materials related to the film as 'terrorist paraphernalia' and shut down every terrorist hate site on the internet supporting the film' said Rabbi Feldman. The Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have yet to respond to the inquiries made by Capitol Press regarding this story."

    "The Jewish Talmud is the basis of modern Judaism. It has absolutely no connection to ancient Israel and the Hebraism of the Adamic, Israel people, but in fact the Talmud assumed its final shape long after the time of Jesus Christ. The Talmud is the text of the mongrel usurpers, those who claim to be the sons of Abraham but are not. The Talmud was originally compiled by the Edomites and Canaanites of whom our Lord spoke in John 8. The Bible says that Jesus was of the tribe of Judah, not the tribe of Jews. Jesus was a devout Hebrew who kept the law of Moses faithfully. The law of Moses was from the Bible and had absolutely nothing to do with the Babylonian Talmud. Talmudic Jews do not believe the Old Testament, nor do they obey the Mosaic law because it is absolutely impossible to do so - there is no standing temple or animal sacrificial system. Ironically, it was the Jews behind the scenes that orchestrated the putting in the Bible of the slang word Jew instead of Judean. For although the things said of them in one or two passages is most derogatory, particularly John 8, still they believed that they would gain more than they would lose by convincing people that Jesus was somehow a Jew and not a Judean. A person of the tribe of Judah is not a Jew. He would have been an Israelite Hebrew. The only way that a person of the tribe of Judah could be a Jew would be to become an apostate Devil worshipper and turn his back upon the Hebrew Scriptures. Neither Abraham, Isaac, nor Jacob was a Jew, and there was no tribe of Judah or any other of the twelve tribes of Israel until they were established through the sons of Jacob, who was the grandson of Abraham. There is considerably more that could be said about so-called world Jewry and the world Zionistic movement and the apostate, illicit, so-called religion of the Jews. World Jewry has virtually destroyed Christianity throughout the world through its relentless barrage of antichrist propaganda and continuing effort to completely misrepresent what the Bible actually says and teaches."

    Kabbalah (also Qabbala, Cabala, cabbala, cabbalah, kabala, kabalah, kabbala) is a religious philosophical system claiming an insight into divine nature. Kabbalah, Hebrew ????, meaning "that which is received, tradition", meaning that the Kabbalah is a tradition that has been received or handed on down from the past. Early forms of Jewish mysticism at first consisted only of empirical lore. From the thirteenth century onward Kabbalah branched out into an extensive literature, alongside of and often in opposition to the Talmud. Most forms of Kabbalah teach that every letter, word, number, and accent of Scripture contains a hidden sense; and it teaches the methods of interpretation for ascertaining these occult meanings. That many such books containing secret lore were kept hidden away by the "enlightened" is stated in IV Esdras xiv. 45-46, where Pseudo-Ezra is told to publish the twenty-four books of the canon openly that the worthy and the unworthy may alike read, but to keep the seventy other books hidden in order to "deliver them only to such as be wise" (compare Dan. xii. 10); for in them are the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge. The Western Esoteric (or Hermetic) Tradition, a major precursor to both the neo-Pagan and New Age movements which is also extant in various forms today, is heavily intertwined with various aspects of Kabbalah. Much of this has been changed from its Jewish roots due to the common esoteric practice of syncretism, but the core of the tradition is very recognizably present. "Hermetic" Kabbalah, as it is sometimes called, probably reached its peak in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a 19th-century organization that was arguably the pinnacle of ceremonial magic (or, depending upon one's position, its ultimate descent into decadence). Within the Golden Dawn, Kabbalistic principles such as the ten Sephiroth were fused with Greek and Egyptian deities, the Enochian system of angelic magic of John Dee, and certain Eastern (particularly Hindu and Buddhist) concepts within the structure of a Masonic- or Rosicrucian-style esoteric order. Many of the Golden Dawn's rituals were exposed by the legendary occultist Aleister Crowley and were eventually compiled into book form by Israel Regardie, an author of some note. Crowley made his mark on the use of Kabbalah with several of his writings; of these, perhaps the most illustrative is Liber 777. This book is quite simply a set of tables relating various parts of ceremonial magic and Eastern and Western religion to thirty-two numbers representing the ten spheres and twenty-two paths of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. A small number of Kabbalists have attempted to foretell events by the Kabbalah. The term has come to be used to refer to secret science in general; mystic art; or mystery. Following that, the word cabal [what Sir Winston Churchill, prime minister of Britiain, named "The Grand Cabal"] came to mean a secret association of a few individuals who seek by cunning practices to obtain office and power. Other terms which originally described religious associations but have come to refer in some way to dangerous or suspicious behavior include zealot, assassin, and thug. See also: Zohar, Mysticism.

    "THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to coin (create) money and regulate the value thereof. Today however, the FED, which is a privately owned company, controls and profits by printing money through the Treasury, and regulating its value. The FED began with approximately 300 people or banks that became owners (stockholders purchasing stock at $100 per share - the stock is not publicly traded) in the Federal Reserve Banking System. They make up an international banking cartel of wealth beyond comparison. The FED banking system collects billions of dollars in interest annually and distributes the profits to its shareholders. The Congress illegally gave the FED the right to print money (through the Treasury) at no interest to the FED. The FED creates money from nothing, and loans it back to us through banks, and charges interest on our currency. The FED also buys Government debt with money printed on a printing press and charges U.S. taxpayers interest. Many Congressmen and Presidents say this is fraud. Who actually owns the Federal Reserve Central Banks? The ownership of the 12 Central banks, a very well kept secret, has been revealed: Rothschild Bank of London, Warburg Bank of Hamburg, Rothschild Bank of Berlin, Lehman Brothers of New York, Lazard Brothers of Paris, Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York, Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy, Goldman, Sachs of New York, Warburg Bank of Amsterdam, Chase Manhattan Bank of New York. These bankers are connected to London Banking Houses which ultimately control the FED. When England lost the Revolutionary War with America (our forefathers were fighting their own government), they planned to control us by controlling our banking system, the printing of our money, and our debt."

    NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2003, U.S. Newswire - Two years after the horrific 9/11 attacks on America, hateful conspiracy theories claiming the attacks were actually carried about by Israelis and Jews continue to gather force around the world, causing dangerous new mutations of global anti-Semitism. According to the League's report, Unraveling Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories, the canard of Jewish or Israeli involvement in 9/11 has gained widespread acceptance in the Arab and Muslim world, parts of Europe and even in the United States. 'The 9/11 attacks have fueled an entire new genre of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories leading to an environment where rumors about Jews are finding acceptance in the mainstream,' said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. 'We cannot win the war against terrorism without first winning over the hearts and minds of people in the Arab World who accept anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracies as fact.' Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon spread around the world with lightening speed, ushered along with the help of global electronic communications, especially the Internet and satellite television. It is essentially a modern manifestation of the anti-Semitic, "Protocols of the Elders of Zion [sic - Elders of Sion]," the infamous 19th century Russian 'forgery' that purported to map out a Jewish conspiracy for world domination."
    Jewish Anti-Defamation League (ADL), "Conspiracy Theories about Jews and 9/11 Cause Dangerous Mutations in Global Anti-Semitism, Says the Anti-Defamation League" (Jewish ADL officially alleges that the US Constitution is a terrorist antiSemitic manifesto, that the Judeo-Christian 10 Commandments should be banned from USA, and that US Christian churches should destroy their holy crosses (400 US churches have complied as of August 2003), and Israel denies citizenship to Jews without Jewish mothers, even when they live in USA or Israel..ADL employees were convicted of terrorism inside USA, but in 2003 Resident Bush Jr legallized Israeli Mossad to assassinate any American citizen inside USA without the necessity of arrest, trial nor conviction.)

    "Plaintiff hereby asserts Defendants, officially and individually are exclusively liable to answer the Counts in this Complaint under the United States Constitution and provisions of the 18 U.S.C. § 1964(a) and (c), Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (hereinafter 'RICO Act') for "failing to act and prevent" the murder of Plaintiff's husband, Louis Neil Mariani, for financial and political reasons and have 'obstructed justice' in the aftermath of said criminal acts and omissions. On '911,' Plaintiff's husband, Louis Neil Mariani, an American Citizen and paying passenger on United Airlines Flight 175, was murdered by unidentified perpetrators, (hereinafter "terrorists") according to Defendant George Walker Bush. At the time of the '911' attacks Defendant GWB was and continues to be President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces. Defendant GWB 'owed a duty' not only to Plaintiff, but the American People to protect and defend against the preventable attacks based upon substantial intelligence known to Defendant GWB prior to '911' which resulted in the death of Plaintiff's husband and thousands of other innocent victims on '911.' This Court must see through this and Plaintiff argues from the onset, the reasons why '911' occurred are no longer a national security risk, but a national security disgrace and tragedy. Plaintiff asserts, contrary to Defendant GWB's assertion that OBL (Osama bin Laden) is responsible for '911,' the compelling evidence that will be presented in this case through discovery, subpoena power by this Court and testimony at trial will lead to one undisputed fact, Defendant GWB failed to act and prevent '911' knowing the attacks would lead to our nation having to engage in an 'International War on Terror (IWOT)' which would benefit Defendants both financially and for political reasons. Plaintiff asserts, her husband was murdered on '911' and Defendant GWB and many of his cabinet members are now profiting from the IWOT. Plaintiff will prove, the 'Bush family' has had long ties to power in the federal government and with the Osama Bin Laden family which raises serious public trust questions yet to be answered, to include, but not limited to, the fact that Defendant Cheney is profiting immensely from his former company's exclusive contracts to rebuild Iraq. Plaintiff reasonably believes Defendants knew or should have known the attacks on '911' would be carried out and intentionally and deliberately failed to act and prevent these deadly attacks leading to the untimely death of her husband. Plaintiff believes, Defendant GWB et al, allowed the attacks to take place to compel public anger and outcry to engage our nation and our military men and women in a preventable 'IWOT' for personal gains and agendas. A pattern of this financial war profiting and the 'Bush Family' goes back to their dealings with Nazi Germany during World War II. The facts will show, Defendants' have engaged in both personal business and national security 'deals' with alleged terrorists, Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein."

    "In 1976, the plan for 'Jewish world domination' outlined in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion had been largely realized. Harold Wallace Rosenthal, 29, a personal assistant to New York Senator Jacob Javits felt that Jewish power was so unassailable that he could make some extra cash by telling this story to Walter White Jr., the editor of the Conservative monthly Western Front. 'Too many Jews do not have the guts to tell you how we live and plan, but I am not intimated by anything or anyone,' Rosenthal told White. 'It is too late for your Christian followers to put up a defence. That time is long past. Long, long ago we had to become the aggressors! That is undoubtedly one of our great purposes in life. We are aggressors!' Rosenthal needed gambling money but his candor cost him his life. On Aug. 12, 1976, he was killed in a 'foiled skyjacking' in Istanbul. Walter White concluded that the incident was a cover for Rosenthal's murder. Rosenthal says, 'Most Jews do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer...and we are his chosen people. Lucifer is very much alive.' Through control of banking, the "Jews" acquired a total monopoly of 'the movie industry, the radio networks and the newly developing television media...we took over the publication of all school materials... Even your music! We censor the songs released for publication long before they reach the publishers...we will have complete control of your thinking.' He boasts that they even implanted a 'guilt complex' over the Holocaust and anti Semitism that prevents society from addressing the problem. This statement applies to modern culture as a whole. We do not like to admit that our 'secular' society is based on a cosmic rebellion against God. Its true satanic character is becoming more evident every day. Rosenthal says the 'Jews' have built an earthly empire partly by rejecting Christ's vision of a spiritual kingdom based on brotherly love. Jewish bankers plan to govern the world from Jerusalem according to their own interests. He says the Jewish religion is essentially a disguise for a racial imperative. 'We can live among other people and states [by] persuading them that the Jews are not a distinct people but the representatives of a religious faith...' The tone of racial arrogance also rings true. Rosenthal expresses incredulity at the spinelessness and gullibility of the American people. He says a Jew remains a Jew whether he converts to another religion or not. Walter White seems to think the 'Jews' are the 'ringleaders' of the Luciferianism cabal known as 'Mystery Babylon.' Certainly the Rothschilds are central players but the cast is large and includes many others. By presenting this information, I am trying to inspire Jews and non-Jews alike to remove the media blindfold and recognize that Luciferians have hijacked humanity and modern culture largely is a fraud designed to disguise this fact. We are living in the twilight of Christian culture. We have no genuine ideals to take its place. The elite's Orwellian doublespeak ('freedom', 'tolerance,' 'diversity' and 'equality') is manipulation and mind control. However most Jews, like non-Jews, are "secular humanists" which is Luciferianism in disguise. Humanism is the notion that man can build a utopia based on 'reason.' In practice, humanism is a front for the Illuminist bankers and their allies. Reason cannot be divorced from morality. Remember, I am the inventor of the game Scruples. 'You find a wallet containing $3000. By the address you can tell the owner is wealthy. Your family is hungry. Do you keep the money?' That would be reasonable. Humanism holds that man is already divine and therefore free to indulge his appetites and reject God's Plan. This is what the humanist means when he preaches 'freedom.' In fact humanity is still very much a work in progress. We were put on earth to embody God's Plan, (i.e. spiritual ideals.) God did not give us freedom so we could fail. "

    "It turns out that neocon U.S. Army General Tommy Franks, Centcom Commander and head of U.S. troops in the Iraqi war, is Jewish. Seen on MSNBC reviewing the troops in Baghdad, Franks shocked some by proudly giving the Communist clenched fist, outreached arms signal rather than the traditional U.S. military salute. At a press conference on March 25, 2003, General Franks stated, 'The media is a weapon of war.'"

    "General Tommy Franks says that if the United States is hit with a weapon of mass destruction that inflicts large casualties, the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government. Franks, who successfully led the U.S. military operation to liberate Iraq, expressed his worries in an extensive interview he gave to the men's lifestyle magazine Cigar Aficionado. In the magazine's December edition, the former commander of the military's Central Command warned that if terrorists succeeded in using a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) against the U.S. or one of our allies, it would likely have catastrophic consequences for our cherished republican form of government. Discussing the hypothetical dangers posed to the U.S. in the wake of Sept. 11, Franks said that 'the worst thing that could happen' is if terrorists acquire and then use a biological, chemical or nuclear weapon that inflicts heavy casualties. If that happens, Franks said, '... the Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy. It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.' Franks didn't speculate about how soon such an event might take place. Already, critics of the U.S. Patriot Act, rushed through Congress in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, have argued that the law aims to curtail civil liberties and sets a dangerous precedent. But Franks' scenario goes much further. He is the first high-ranking official to openly speculate that the Constitution could be scrapped in favor of a military form of government. Franks ended his interview with a less-than-optimistic note. 'It's not in the history of civilization for peace ever to reign. Never has in the history of man. ... I doubt that we'll ever have a time when the world will actually be at peace.'"

    "This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence-economic, political, even spiritual-is felt in every city, every state house, every office of the Federal government. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

    "Conspiracy Theory is the belief that historical or current events are the result of manipulations by one or more secretive powers or conspiracies. A conspiracy theory alleges that some particular event -- such as an assassination, a revolution, or even the failure of a product -- resulted not solely from the visible action of overt political or market forces, but rather from covert manipulation. Because conspiracy theories rely on allegations of covert action, they are frequently difficult to support with evidence. Real conspiracy versus conspiracy theory: The word conspiracy comes from the Latin "conspirare," ("to breath together"), and in contemporary usage it is a situation where two or more people agree to perform an illegal or immoral act. The essential components are the involvement of a group of people, secrecy and malicious intent. The existence of countless thousands of such conspiracies well known and includes organized crime and gangs as well as cartels in restraint of trade, organized political bribery, and so forth. At any given time, hundreds or thousands of conspiracies in this sense are afoot. For a discussion of this sort of conspiracy, see the article conspiracy. Historians generally use the term conspiracy to refer to conspiracies that are considered to be real, proven, or at least seriously plausible and with some element of support. The waters are muddied by the fact that powerful groups or individuals may have an interest in trying to discredit those who accuse them of real or imagined crimes. Ridicule, and even the diagnosis of schizophrenia has been used as a means of silencing political dissent, for example in the Soviet Union (see anti-psychiatry). Note: The term conspiracy theory is sometimes also used refer to sociological attempts to study the phenomenon of conspiracy. Many governments use intelligence agencies to promote national policies in secretive ways -- in several cases including the use of sabotage, propaganda, and assassination. Intelligence agencies, such as the CIA, KGB, MI6, and Mossad, are a common element of political conspiracy theories precisely because they are known to participate in some activities similar to those described in conspiracy theories. There are conspiracy theories based on the notion that AIDS was a man-made disease (i.e. created by scientists in a laboratory). Some of these theories allege that HIV was created by a conspiratorial group or by a secret agency as a tool of genocide. * The United States Department of Defense Information Awareness Office (IAO) has many similarities to conspiracy theories. First, its avowed purpose is to gather and correlate information on ordinary citizens for the purpose of predicting terrorism and other crime. Second, its logo depicts the eye in the pyramid, a symbol associated with Illuminati and Masonic representations of power or divinity, casting a beam over the globe of the Earth [like New World Order symbolism on dollar bill]. Lastly, the name "Iao" is a Gnostic word for God, used in the Golden Dawn and Thelema among others. ["On November 27, 2002, San Francisco Weekly columnist Matt Smith decided to illustrate the perils of information proliferation to John Poindexter personally by publishing a column containing Poindexter's home address and phone number, along with those of his next door neighbors. The information quickly propagated through the Internet, and protestors created numerous web sites with this data, and with satellite photographs of Poindexter's house."] In the 2003 Iraq War, Iraqi resistance was strong at first and then collapsed suddenly. A conspiracy theory emerged in Iraq and elsewhere that there had been a "safqua" - a secret deal - between the US and the Iraqi military elite, wherein the elite were bribed to stand down. This conspiracy theory was ignored or ridiculed in the US media. In late May, 2003, General Tommy Franks, who had been the head of the US forces in the conflict, confirmed in an interview with Defense News that the US government had paid off high-level Iraqi military officials and that they had stated that "I am working for you now". How important this was to the course of the conflict was not entirely clear at the time of this writing (May 24, 2003). Operation NORTHWOODS (q.v.), before its declassification, was long considered by most to be a conspiracy theory." ["The document was rejected by John F. Kennedy and with the Bay of Pigs Invasion disaster contributed to efforts by John F. Kennedy to break the military-industrial complex that was constantly asking for war."] "Zionist conspiracy theories regarding the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks and 9-11 domestic conspiracy." ["The 9/11 domestic conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory which asserts that George W. Bush or American intelligence agencies knew, in advance, about the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks, and allowed it to happen or even caused it.

    HIDDEN VIDEO PENETRATES SATANIC SECRET SOCIETY AND PRESIDENTIAL RETREAT

    "Defining a New World Order"
    –Elliot Richardson, Attorney General of Nixon & Reagan Administrations, Lakeside Talk at the Owl Shrine for human sacrifices at Satanic Bohemian Grove, 1991

    Since Knoxville is "home" for Scripps-Howard "news" empire, the head of which wears a "Satanic" robe and practices ritual sacrifices amongst the giant Redwoods in a Pagan temple, let's take a brief look at "religious tolerance". Perhaps our fearless leaders would prefer that Knox County Schools post these Canaanite Rites beside the Christian Bible's 600 death penalties, er, Commandments (and they say Johnny can't read nor count).

    BOHEMIAN CLUB, AKA BOHEMIAN GROVE, IS THE LOCALE FOR THE "SATANIC-TYPE" CULT OF RONALD REAGAN, GEORGES BUSH and Charles Scripps of the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain who got a $20-Million welfare check for a free HQ for Knoxville News-Sentinel from Skull & Bones mayor of Knoxville, Victor Ashe, and is trying to get $1-Billion welfare gift from Knoxville taxpayers for "Universe Knoxville dot orgy" (Scripps HQ). Running around nekked chasing gay and hetero prosititutes and torchinging ritual human sacrifices to a mossy 40-foot-tall stone owl-god named Molech (aka Baal, the ox-god) for the "entertainment" of world "leaders" (or to get photographic evidence for future blackmail).

    Gergen "quits" Bohemian Club and 17 other organizations

    by Frank J. Murray
    The Washington Times
    6-11-93

    "Presidential counsellor David Gergen resigned yesterday from the all-male Bohemian Club, three days after saying he would not run around naked at its annual Bohemian Grove encampment and insisting he would not quit. White House spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers announced the resignation along with Mr. Gergen's departure from 17 other interest groups, charities and public boards ranging from the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderburg Group and Council on Foreign Relations."


    EXCLUSIVE INFOWARS.COM PHOTOS CAPTURED FROM THE FIRST VIDEO TO MAKE IT OUT OF BOHEMIAN GROVE ALIVE

    50-foot-tall idol of Satan at Bohemian Grove, CA. Human sacrifices cremated on alter, at lower right

    Imagine infiltrating Camp David with hidden video cameras, bluffing dozens of Secret Service agents and Deputy Sheriffs, sneaking past surveilance cameras hidden in the trees, sitting with 2,000 white men cheering for a KKK-style Satanic ritual killing (the killing of "conscience", with either a simulated or real human sacrifice burned on the alter of the Owl God as Republicrats shreik in bloodlust), then escaping out alive with video footage unconfiscated. That was only four hours on the first night of the full moon on Midsummer's Eve in July 2000, not the remaining two weeks, so talk-radio host Alex Jones and crew missed Stormin Norman, Colin Powell and Dick Cheney dancing nekked with the other faeries. After this Top Secret ritual killing at Bohemian Grove, George W. Bush announced that he had picked his vice president Dick Cheney, while at Bohemian Grove. [His press secretary, who was not allowed into the male-only club, did not mention whether this decision was made before or after running nekked in the woods with the other faries.] Release of this video along with world-wide publicity and sales may be what prompted release of the Harry Potter movie as an attempt to desensitize the public to Owl Gods and witches running nekked in the woods.

    Video includes a transcript of the Cremation of Care ceremony and interview with an expert in occult rituals who points out that, "Hitler was a Bohemian."

    BOMBSHELL: ELITIST BOHEMIAN GROVE CULT BLOWN WIDE OPEN!

    FIRST EVER VIDEO FROM INSIDE THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIAN GLOBALIST RETREAT OBTAINED! LEADERS FROM POLITICS, BIG BUSINESS, ACADEMIA AND THE ARTS CAPTURED ON TAPE WORSHIPPING A 50-FOOT HORNED OWL AND ENGAGING IN MOCK HUMAN SACRIFICE.

    Radio Talk Show Host and Documentary Filmmaker Alex Jones infiltrated the cult on one of their highest holy days to witness the infamous "Cremation of Care." On July 15, 2000, Jones, carefully disguised as a "Grover" spent four hours inside the elite cult compound. Armed with two hidden digital video cameras, he observed and documented bizarre public urination, hand raising worship a giant stone horned owl deity. He gained shocking footage, including the simulated act of human sacrifice on the idol's fiery altar conducted by dozens of robe clad "priests" with hoods the color and shape identical to Klu Klux Klan regalia.

    CBS, People and Spy Magazine have all tried to infiltrate Bohemian Grove. This is the first time video and audio of the infamous ceremony have made it out of the Bohemian Grove elite all-male 121 year old camp.

    Photos captured from the digital video are available on Alex Jones' web site www.infowars.com. Jones has made several copies of the video, one of which has been transferred to Channel Four national British television for safekeeping. Jones transferred copies to Channel Four on site in California, because Channel Four was covering Jones' infiltration of the camp.

    Jones shot the video and owns the video.

    It has incredible implications on the 2000 election, due to the fact that the Bush family have been long time members of this bizarre organization.

    What happens when the mainstream of America finds out that the so-called family values Republican leadership is the driving force behind this medieval enclave? Other power figures known to have attended the Grove include:

    Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Gen. Colin Powell, Newt Gingrich , Gerald Ford, Dwight Eisenhower, and Herbert Hoover.

    Well known for his documentation of America's transformation into a Police State in his acclaimed videos Police State 2000, Police State II: The Takeover, and America Destroyed by Design, Jones says the footage obtained at Bohemian Grove goes to the heart of what is wrong with our country today.

    Says Jones, "Anyone who looks at the photos on our web site www.infowars.com needs to be conscious and think about the character of many of the people who are leading this country and attend the Grove each year. On our site we have the promotional program handed out to participants at the grove that clearly shows a human skeleton burning on the altar. This is some sick stuff."

    In 1982, NPR got a recording of Henry Kissinger's speech at the Grove -- but declined to air it (Spy, 11/89). Also in 1982, a Time reporter went undercover as a waiter in Bohemian Grove; like Mathison's People article, his story was killed.

    Bohemian Grove's Mind-Control Slaves and Human Sacrifices

    http://www.4rie.com/rie%207.html#anchor1113277

    Recent information may radically change this perception of Bohemian Grove [O'Brien and Phillips, TRANCE Formation of America (pp 170-1)]. Not merely drunkenness, unbounded use of alcohol and drugs with vague homosexual tones (confirmed by our sources) but reported activities much more serious - kidnapping, rape, pedophilia, sodomy, ritual murder. Investigation is blocked under the 1947 National Security Act. (!) And like the Omaha child abuse case, includes illegal detention of children. An article in a local community newspaper, Santa Rosa Sun (1993, July) reported on the Cult of Canaan and the legend of Moloch in place at Bohemian Grove. The Moloch Pagan Cult of Sacrifice is human sacrifice. About the mid 1980s there were rumors of murders in remote parts of the property. A local police investigation went nowhere. State investigators on related criminal acts went nowhere. According to an observer and near victim, who can describe the Bohemian Grove inner hideaways, the closed sanctum, even the decor at secret locations, places where no outsider goes (or servants according to our sources) there is an UNDERGROUND lounge (sign spelled U.N.derground) a Dark Room, a Leather Room and a Necrophilia Room [sex with dead bodies]. Here is one of O'Brien's quotes: "Slaves of advancing age or with failed programming were sacrificially murdered at random in the wooded grounds of Bohemian Grove and I felt it was only a matter of time until it would be me." This potential victim survived. Others reportedly did not. The book "TRANCE Formation of America" is an autobiography by Cathy O'Brien with Mark Phillips. Cathy and her 8 year old daughter were rescued from their mind-controlled existence in 1988 and taken to Alaska by Mark Phillips for safety and rehabilitation. She and her daughter were victims of the US Government Defense Intelligence Agency TOP SECRET MK-Ultra Project Monarch (MIND CONTROL).

    "We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans."
    --Bill Clinton, member of Satanic cult at Bohemian Grove, (USA TODAY, 11 March 1993, page 2A)

    "When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans. And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities."
    --President Bill Clinton, member of Satanic cult at Bohemian Grove, 3-22-94, MTV's "Enough is Enough"

    "A cultist is one who has a strong belief in the Bible and the Second Coming of Christ; who frequently attends Bible studies; who has a high level of financial giving to a Christian cause; who home schools for their children; who has accumulated survival foods and has a strong belief in the Second Amendment; and who distrusts big government. Any of these may qualify [a person as a cultist] but certainly more than one [of these] would cause us to look at this person as a threat, and his family as being in a risk situation that qualified for government interference."
    --Attorney General Janet Reno, Clinton administration during police mass murders of innocent Christians at George Bush's hometown of Waco, Texas, where FBI, ATF and Pentagon/United Nations Special Forces broadcast screams of rabbits being slaughtered, TV news broadcasts, June 26, 1994

    –Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton's mentor), Professor of History at Georgetown University, member of the CFR, from his book Tragedy & Hope

    "The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common — they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereingty of the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the CFR comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government."

    "The ultimate aim of the CFR is to create a one-world socialist system, and to make the U.S. an official part of it."
    –Dan Smoot, a former member of the FBI Headquarters staff in Washington, D.C.

    "An ex-member of the Satanic Hierarchy of the Illuminati expressed a belief to me that there have been certain evil men through-out history that have totally given themselves over to possession by Satan. That these men (Hitler, Ghengis Khan, for example) have been anti-christ types, simply human containers for the residence of a very powerful demonic spirit, or even Satan himself. The ex-illuminati member believed that when Satan no longer had need for the body of his anti-christ he would discard it with death and find another willing soul to sacrifice his bodily control to the devil. These evil figures would not be 'The" Anti-Christ, explained the informant, but would have allowed themselves to taken over by "the spirit" of the Anti-Christ. This is just a theory, but I believe it has certain merit. If it is true, it paints an interesting picture of Hitler and the ruling class that created him."
    —Robert G. Pickle, The Last Deception & The New Beginning, Section 13

    As Michael Howard points out in his 1989 book The Occult Conspiracy: "Conspiracy theorists regard the UN with suspicion because of the alleged involvement of the CFR in its creation" (Howard 1989, p. 167). The Council on Foreign Relations was formed when the United States failed to join the League of Nations, which had been set up after World War I chiefly by President Woodrow Wilson and his special advisor Col. E. M. House. In 1919 Col. House met with members of a British group called the Round Table that was the brain-child of 19th-century diamond and gold magnate, Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes was obsessed with the vision of a world government based on British values, and had set up the Round Table as a means toward that end. (This, of course, makes Rhodes scholars suspect as agents of the New World Order.) Members of the Round Table agreed to set up a non-governmental advisory body aimed at influencing nations toward peaceful resolution of conflicts. In England it was called the Institute for International Affairs (IIA); in America it became the CFR.

Almost 95% of the park is forested, and about 25% of that area is old-growth forest–one of the largest blocks of deciduous, temperate, old-growth forest remaining in North America. In recognition of the park's unique natural resources, the United Nations has designated Great Smoky Mountains National Park as an International Biosphere Reserve. Human-caused factors such as air and water pollution and non-native species have had a significant impact on natural resources–both here and worldwide. The further impacts on the park of ten million human visits each year are only just beginning to be measured and mitigated. Park staff carefully monitor threats such as air pollution and destructive non-native species [humans] and endeavor to implement proactive measures to preserve the park's valuable resources. DESIGNATIONS: National Park - June 15, 1934; International Biosphere Reserve - 1976; World Heritage Site - December 6, 1983." —National Park Service Corporation website, "Experience Your America", November 2002

    William Cooper Naval Intelligence Briefing: MAJESTYTWELVE

    [AKA How to make millions of lemmings jump off a cliff - Includes photos of CIA documents]

    The plan to create an artificial extraterrestrial threat to the Earth was first mentioned by the Marxist, John Dewey.

    "Some one remarked that the best way to unite all the nations on this globe would be an attack from some other planet. In the face of such an alien enemy, people would respond with a sense of their unity of interest and purpose."
    --John Dewey, New York 1917.

    Illegal Aliens Attack New York City - Mass Panic Ensues

    The premise was tested for credibility with the CBS presentation of War Of The Worlds on the CBS Radio Network by Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre. At 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, on the evening of October 30, 1938, the night before All Saints Day, now generally celebrated as Halloween, an estimated six million Americans listened to the famous Orson Welles broadcast, War Of The Worlds. The broadcast described an extraterrestrial invasion from Mars. An estimated one million sheople responded with sustained credulity and fear. Thousands responded with sheer panic.

    The broadcast was a psychological warfare experiment conducted by The Princeton Radio Project. The Rockefeller Foundation funded the project in the fall of 1937. An Office of Radio Research was set up with Paul F. Lazarsfeld as director. Frank Stanton and Hadley Cantril were named associate directors. Cantril used a special grant from the General Education Board to study the effects of the broadcast. Cantril published the study as a book titled The Invasion From Mars - A Study In The Psychology Of Panic. It contains a complete script of the broadcast. The book is one of a series of studies sponsored by the Federal Radio Education Committee.

    War Of The Worlds, was broadcast by Mercury Theater on the Air, from a microphone in a New York studio of the Columbia Broadcasting System. Council on Foreign Relations member Frank Stanton was a CBS executive. Stanton would later direct Radio Free Europe. Regarding the programs realism Cantril writes, "The sheer dramatic excellence of the broadcast must not be overlooked. The unusual realism of the performance may be attributed to the fact that the early parts of the broadcast fell within the existing standards of judgment of the listeners..."

    A few short weeks before this broadcast, millions of listeners had kept their radios tuned for the latest news from a Europe apparently about to go to war. They had learned to expect that musical programs, dramas, broadcasts of all kinds would be cut off in a serious emergency to inform or warn an eager and anxious public. A large proportion of listeners, particularly those in the lower income and educational brackets, have grown to rely more on the radio than on the newspapers for news... On this particular night when the listener tuned to the Mercury Theater, he heard the music of "Ramon Raquello" and his orchestra coming from the "Meridian Room" in the "Park Plaza Hotel" of New York City. Soon after the first piece had begun an announcer broke in: "Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News."

    ...This report brought the story of the first explosion on Mars. The music was resumed only to be followed by another break: "Ladies and gentlemen, following on the news given in our bulletin a moment ago, the Government Meteorological Bureau has requested the large observatories of the country to keep an astronomical watch..." This bulletin contains the information that a "huge flaming object, believed to be a meteorite, fell on a farm in the neighborhood of Grovers Mill, New Jersey." The swing band gets in 20 seconds more. Then the invasion continues uninterruptedly..."

    The last announcement comes from New York City, the Announcer says,

    "I'm speaking from the roof of Broadcasting Building, New York City. The bells you hear are ringing to warn the people to evacuate the city as the Martians approach. Estimated in last two hours three million people have moved out along the roads to the north Hutchison River Parkway still kept open for motor traffic. Avoid bridges to Long Island --hopelessly jammed. All communication with Jersey shore closed ten minutes ago. No more defenses. Our army wiped out -- artillery, air force, everything wiped out. This may the last broadcast. We'll stay here to the end -- People are holding service below us -- in the cathedral. (VOICES SINGING HYMN). Now I look down the harbor. All manner of boats overloaded with fleeing population, pulling out from docks. (SOUND OF BOAT WHISTLES) Streets are all jammed. Noise in crowds like New Year's Eve in city. Wait a minute -- Enemy now in sight above the Palisades. Five great machines. First one is crossing river. I can see it from here, wading the Hudson like a man wading through a brook -- A bulletin's handed to me -- Martian cylinders are falling all over the country. One outside Buffalo, one in Chicago, St. Louis -- seem to be timed and spaced. -- Now the first machine reaches the shore. He stands watching, looking over the city. His steel, cowlish head is even with the skyscrapers. He waits for the others. They rise like a line of new towers on the city's west side -- Now they're lifting their metal hands. This is the end now. Smoke comes out -- black smoke, drifting over the city. Peoople in the streets see it now. They're running towards the East River -- thousands of them, dropping in like rats. Now the smokes spreading faster. It's reached Times Square. People trying to run away from it, but its no use. They're falling like flies. Now the smokes crossing Sixth Avenue -- Fifth Avenue -- 100 yards away -- it's 50 feet --"

    The announcer breaks off, and a field artillery radio operator is heard,

    "2X2L calling CQ...

    2X2L calling CQ...

    2X2L calling CQ...New York

    Isn't there anyone on the air?

    Bible Believers on Illuminati control of Freemasonry

    http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/masonry3.htm

    Illuminati's evil-eye with Egyptian pyramid to worship Sun god Ra on "Federal" Reserve's fake "US" dollar bill with motto "New Order of the Ages" and "World" Bank's eye. Add a "u" to make "seculorum" and you have what the founder of Illuminati called "New World Order".

    In 1776, Adam Weishaupt, Professor of Catholic Church Canon Law at the University of Ingolstodt, Bavaria (Germany), founded the Order of Illuminati (Lucifer light bearers). Although trained as a Catholic Priest, he believed in Satanism and humanism. Humanism taught that a person could attain great power like unto God with help from demons. He spent about five years writing on methods of world revolution under orders and pay from the Rothschild Dynasty with the aim of establishing One World Government. He called this government "The Novus Ordo Seculorum" (New Age or New World Order), which is also the title of his book published in May 1, 1776.

    Official seal of Scottish Rite Freemasonry includes Egyptian pyramid surrounded by Illuminati's rays of light

    This Latin phrase is printed on the reverse side of the one-dollar bill together with the year 1776 in Roman numeral at the bottom of the Masonic pyramid. On top of the pyramid is the eye of Lucifer with the inscription "Annuit Coeptis" which means he (Lucifer) has smiled on our undertakings. Most persons believe that the date 1776 honors the Birth of the U.S. No, it honors Weishaupt's One World for Satan. In 1785, a member of the order named Lanze, who was carrying the secret documents to the Grand Orient of the Illuminati in Paris (France), was struck by lightning at Ratisbon. The documents on his body were seized by the Bavarian government and now may be seen in the archives in Munich. They reveal the Illuminati activities not only in the French revolution but also the destruction of all Kings and religions, except Jewry. The time table for the 1789 French Revolution was fulfilled exactly as planned in the captured documents.

    Although the Illuminati order was independent in the beginning, it was grafted, at selected points, onto Freemasonry, like a fungus. Then on July 16, 1782, at the Congress of Wilhelmsbad, Germany, the order was given the reign of control over Freemasonry on a world-wide scale. The oath of submission is taken by the candidate for the membership as follows:

    "...I bind myself to perpetual silence and unshaken loyalty and submission to the Order, in the persons of my Superiors; here making a faithful and complete surrender of my private judgement, my own will, and every narrow-minded employment of my power and influence. I pledge myself to account the good of the Order, as my own, and am ready to serve it with my fortune, my honor, and my blood. Should I, through omission, neglect, passion, or wickedness, behave contrary to this good of the Order, I subject myself to what reproof or punishment my Superiors shall enjoin. The friends and the enemies of my Order shall be my friends and enemies; and with respect to both, I will conduct myself as directed by the Order, and am ready, in every lawful way, to devote myself to its increase and promotion, and therein to employ all my ability. All this I promise, and protest, without secret reservation, according to the intention of the Society which require from me this engagement. This I do as I am, and as I hope to continue, a Man of Honor."

    Inside the Grand Lodge of the Illuminati of France

    http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/masonry3.htm

    The following provides short summary from the book From A Nymph of Satan to a Bride of Christ, by Brother Vincent de Paul of the Immaculate, Heart , T.O.S.F., 1987, published by Third Order, P.O. Box 712, St. Louis, MO 63188 .

    Introduction

    Klotilde Bersone was a ravishingly beautiful girl at 17, who was an honor student and could speak six languages. Her father was a Freemason. He lost 60,000 lires (about $700) in gambling and agreed to sell Klotilde to the Grand Lodge of the Illuminati in Istanbul, Turkey in exchange for the payment of this debt. This Turkish Lodge was connected to 6 other Grand Lodges of the Illuminati throughout the world. Bersone rose from the rank of:

    • "Nymph of the Night"
    • "Nymph Initiated to Secrets"
    • "Illuminati"
    • "Sovereign Grand Master Nymph"
    • "Bride of Lucifer" or "Queen of the Illuminati"

    The initial setting was in Turkey in December 1874, but it was moved to Paris, France where in the beginning she was raped by the Grand Orient of the Supreme Lodge of Illuminati of France, the American General James Abram Garfield, and became his mistress. Garfield was elected to the House of Representatives while still a General fighting the Civil War. He was a hero of Shilo and promoted to Major General. He was the youngest General (30) in the Civil War. He became Grand Orient of the French Illuminati in secret and spent as much time in Europe as in America. In December 1863, at the request of President Abraham Lincoln, Garfield resigned as General and ran for Congress.

    He was congressman for 17 years, rising to the position of Republican House Leader. He was married in 1858 to Miss Lucretia Rudolph, and had 2 daughters and 3 sons. He was elected to the Senate in January 1880, but never served in that office. He was always absent in Paris with Masonic business. Illuminati Lodges wanted him to win the presidency.

    Garfield was elected President of the U.S. in March 1881 and was shot on July 2, 1881 by Charles Guiteau of France at the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad Station in Washington D.C. Garfield was expected to fully recover after being dismissed from the hospital. On August 11, while recuperating in a seaside cottage he wrote to his mother that he was recovering well and growing stronger every day. He signed it "Your loving son". He died mysteriously on September 19, 1881.

    Klotilde, full of hatred for everyone in the Masonic Lodges, was determined to learn all secrets about the Illuminati, to rise through the ranks, and eventually to reveal these secrets to the world in order to take revenge against those who had violated her womanhood and brought her immeasurable misery and horror.

    The original UNPUBLISHED manuscript of her diary was in Italian. It was translated into French and then German in 1931. It was translated into English in 1984 by a holy Jesuit Lithuanian Priest, Father Jonas Gaudze (died in 1985), who was the Superior of the Holy Seer, Portavoz, Mother Conchita, of the Franciscan Minims of Mexico City, Mexico.

    Inside the Grand Lodge of the Illuminati of France

    First, to become member of the Order, Klotilde had to take a dreadful oath. In making the oath, Klotilde had to kneel down with her head bent backwards, as though offering her throat to a dagger, and to swear the following oath: ["Gangsta Rap"]

    1. "I swear blindly to obey all orders of the Masonic Lodge, without questioning the reason for it.
    2. "I swear to not belong to any other religion except the Masons.
    3. "I swear to not give in to any influence, and to break any opposition (resistance) against the aim (goal) of the Masonic Lodge.
    4. "Should I become ever unfaithful to this oath, then may all daggers pierce me, which are now drawn against my throat."

    Klotilde discovered a death chapel where 18 skulls were laid on tables and altars. There was a white marble beast with 7 heads, which the masons call "Dragon Hydra". It looked terrible, with some beauty. Some heads looked like lions, some resemble panthers. Some had one horn, while others had several horns. The body was one of a leopard with black stripes. The short strong legs had powerful claws. The Grand Orient (General James Garfield, before he became U.S. President in March 1881) frequently invoked Satan to animate the marble beast. Here is President Garfield's prayer of adoration: ["Gangsta Rap"]

    • "I recognize you as the highest Being, which enlightens our minds and our actions.
    • "You also enlighten me especially, and you lead my arm. You have the supremacy of the Universe, and you move it because all is your creation (sic).
    • "Heaven and earth belong to you, which are fulfilled with your glory, which are images of your greatness, and superiority. You are the light, strength and power.
    • "Show your might, which if wanted, can subject heart and mind. You are the helpful protector of each one of yours, you enemy of the crucified.
    • "In your name, I curse God, The Trinity, Christ, and His Virgin Mother. Hear me, the one you possess, and who is one with you!
    • "In trust of your revelations, in the faith of your might above all created, visible and invisible things. I have the right to request and receive from you what you know."

      To be high-initiated, she had to kill a man enclosed inside a hollowed human-size doll wearing a tiara (triple crown worn by Popes), to renounce all her Catholic Dogmas, the Sacraments and Jesus Christ, to be unbaptized, and to accept the Dragon (Lucifer) through the Beast (Beelzebub) as her Master. Before Klotilde became the nymph, she had to sign a pact with Satan in blood. The text of pact is as follows:

    • "I renounce the Holy Trinity, the Crucifixional Sacrifice of the Roman Catholic Religion. I renounce the belief in one God. I give up all secrets which are not revealed by the Spirit (Satan), and also the works, which do not originate from him. I give voluntarily to him, all of myself, my body, and my soul! I beg him to take exclusive possession of his ruling domain, my mind, my will, and my thinking. I call upon him to live and act in me as I also live and act in him. In his name, I curse Christ! the only true Catholic Church, and all His Sacraments!"

    As the Nymph of Satan, she became the voice box for Beelzebub (Garfield called him the "Masonry Spirit") issuing orders to the Lodges to kill or to take actions, which terrified many Grand Masters of the Lodges. She committed many murders under the order of the Lodges. Among the murdered victims were King of Italy Victor Emmanuel II> and General James Garfield.

    Jealousy among members for Klotilde's fast rise to the highest position in the Grand Orient Lodge and her sudden speeches outpouring the members' failures and omissions caused the majority of the Grand Council to turn against her. She had made them tremble by her knowledge of their deeds given by Lucifer. The high initiates held a trial and decided to banish her to a brothel in Grenoble. This decision was approved by Lucifer who became disenchanted with her for her beginning dislike of him. Only when Klotilde became pregnant at the brothel did she make the critical decision to escape and take refuge in a Catholic cloistered convent in Paris. There, she became Sister Marie Amelie. She recounted her frightful story inside the Grand Lodge of Illuminati in Paris to her Mother Superior, who commanded her to write it down in 1885 for the public to know. The duplicate authentic manuscript of her memoirs of 1885 is kept somewhere in the archives of a Roman Catholic Covent in France.

    Secrets of Masonic Orders

    Official disinformation of dogma for useful idiots

    The Supreme Council, 33°, Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Washington, DC:

    Webmaster note: I hope you appreciate this official site since it is apparently "secreted" from search engines.

    "Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion. Here we meet as brethren, to learn to know and love each other."
    —Confederate General Albert Pike, Grand Commander 33rd Degree of Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, author of Masonic Bible, Morals and Dogma, and founder of the KKK

    "There is no doubt in my mind that Masonry is the cornerstone of America."
    —Dave Thomas Founder of Wendy's International, who started by washing dishes and waiting tables at Regas Brothers' Restaurant in Knoxville, Tennessee


    In announcing its establishment to the Masonic world in that Manifesto, dated December 4, 1802, the name was given as the Supreme Council of the Thirty-third Degree for the United States of America. The word Scotch appeared in connection with one of the early Supreme Council Degrees, and Scotish (sic) was included in the name of one of the detached Degrees conferred by the Supreme Council.

    The name Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite first appeared in an 1804 agreement between the Supreme Council of France and the Grand Orient of France. [After the Illuminati casued the bloody French Revolution and was outlawed from Europe.] Beginning with the administration of Grand Commander Albert Pike in 1859, it came into general use in the Southern Jurisdiction and elsewhere. Many Scottish Masons fled to France during political upheavals in the 17th and 18th centuries, at a time when the Degrees of the Rite were evolving in French Freemasonry. This has caused some to think mistakenly that the Rite originated in Scotland. Actually, however, a Supreme Council for Scotland was not established until 1846.

    "Freemasonry admits only men, but many Masonic-related organizations, such as the Eastern Star, Amaranth, Job's Daughters, Rainbow for Girls and DeMolay for Boys, offer ample opportunities for women and youth."

    "The solemn promises taken in Freemasonry are no different than the oaths taken in court or on entering the armed services. The much-discussed "penalties" [cutting the offenders heart out and throwing it over the dying Mason's right shoulder], judicial remnants from an earlier age, are symbolic, not literal. They refer only to the pain any honest man should feel at the thought of violating his word."

    "In 1995, major North American Masonic philanthropies [dues/bribes/extortion to purchase initiation into 393 Degrees] totaled more than $750 millon or over $2 million per day of which 70% went to the general public." [i.e., to the rich doctors who kill 1-million Americans every year with medical malpractice, deadly medications, incompetent quackery, secret experiments, denial of treatment, "euthenasia", abortions, cover-up of corporate genocide, cover-up of contract murders, and psychopathic serial-kills.]

    "Freemasonry is an open, not secretive, society. Masonic meetings are announced publicly, Masonic buildings are marked clearly and are listed in phone directories, and Masons proudly wear jewelry identifying their membership. Freemasonry inherited a tradition of trade secrets from the cathedral-building guilds of medieval Europe. The only "secrets" still belonging to modern Masonry are traditional passwords, signs of recognition, and dramatic presentations of moral lessons."

    "Masons learn through a series of lessons. These "degrees" of insight move from basic to more complex concepts. This no more hides the nature of Freemasonry from novice members than does having a student understand fractions before calculus."

    "There are over 2 million Masons in North America and nearly 5 million throughout the world. Freemasonry is made up of many individuals in numerous organizations, all subordinate to the Grand Lodge within their jurisdiction (i.e. state). None of these members or organizations can speak for Freemasonry; that is the responsibility of each Grand Lodge within its jurisdiction. No Masonic body nor author, however respected, can usurp the authority of a Grand Lodge."

    "Masonry has many groups, each with a special social, educational, or philanthropic focus. A man becomes a Mason in his local Lodge. Then he joins any of the following "Appendant Bodies": the Scottish Rite, York Rite (which includes the Royal Arch and Knights Templar), Shriners, Grottoes, Tall Cedars, etc."

    "It will come as no surprise that a great deal of Albert Pike's writing is concerned with Masonry. When, in 1850, he received the three degrees of Blue Lodge Masonry at Western Star Lodge No. 2, in Little Rock, he knew he had found a home. The more he reflected upon the degrees, the more excited he became"." Pike wrote:

    [Masonry] "began to shape itself to my intellectual vision into something imposing and majestic, solemnly mysterious and grand. It seemed to me like the Pyramids in grandeur and loneliness, in whose yet undiscovered chambers may be hidden, for the enlightenment of the coming generations, the sacred books of the Egyptians, so long lost to the world; like the Sphinx half buried in the sand. So I came at last to see that [Masonry's] symbolism is its soul. And still more, if its initiates are also, and of necessity, devoted to the true interests of the people; if they are the soldiery of Liberty, Equality and Brotherhood, and at the same time of good government, of good order, and of the laws, that made by the representatives of all, for the general good of all, must be implicitly obeyed by all. And most of all, if in addition to all this, it strives to elevate the people intellectually, by teaching those who enter its portals the profoundest truths of Philosophy, and the wisdom of the Sages of every age; a rational conception of the Deity; of the universe that He has made, and of the laws that govern it; a true estimate of Man himself, of his freedom to act, of his dignity and his destiny."

    "The primary symbol of Masonry is, of course, Light. The search for Light is a symbol of education, of knowledge, of enlightenment. Lux, meaning light, for instance, is in the mottoes of Yale University and the University of North Carolina. The movement from Darkness to Light, consequently, has played a part in the initiatory rites of all ages and all cultures, as the late Joseph Campbell, noted lecturer and author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, so often demonstrated. Pike remarks:

    Masonic Sphinx of Male Power - Scottish Rite, the Supreme Council 33, Washington DC, House of the Temple

    Masonic Sphinx of Female Wisdom - Scottish Rite, the Supreme Council 33, Washington DC, House of the Temple

    "To the ancients, this [Light] was an outflowing from the Deity. To us, as to them, it is the apt symbol of truth and knowledge. Masonry is a march and a struggle toward the Light. For the individual as well as the nation, Light is Virtue, Manliness, Intelligence, Liberty. Tyranny over the soul or body, is darkness. Masonry to the Masonic Brethren is a search after, and a journeying toward Light. The Masonic Light is Truth. It is the inculcation of truth by means of symbols and instructions. Teaching a pure morality by its lessons and lectures, it is also a great system of philosophy and of political and of religious truth concealed by symbols."

    The "secrets" in Masonry are personal insights. They are secret not because we are pledged to conceal them, but because they cannot be truly communicated from one person to another." Pike wrote:

    "It is for each individual Mason to discover the secret of Masonry, by reflection upon its symbols and a wise consideration and analysis of what is said and done in the work. Masonry does not inculcate [impress upon the mind by frequent repetition] her truths. She states them, once and briefly; or hints them, perhaps, darkly; or interposes a cloud between them and eyes that would be dazzled by them. "Seek, and ye shall find," knowledge and the truth."

    "Few questions have led to so much confusion, not to mention so much spilled ink, as the question of the antiquity of the fraternity. The only answer is, of course, we just don't know how old Freemasonry is. Masonic writers have placed the origin (mythically) at the Garden of Eden, the building of Solomon's Temple, or the continuance of the Knights Templar. Allen E. Roberts, in Masonic Trivia and Facts (1994), states that at least 24 theories regarding Masonry's origins have held credence at some time."

    Illuminati Church of The Craft - House of the Temple, Washington DC - "And should you be able to visit our nation's capital, please include a tour of our national headquarters, the House of the Temple, located just 10 blocks from the White House. It is an inspiring architectural monument. Cordial Brothers are available every day, even on weekends if arranged beforehand, to show you the Temple's magnificent ceremonial rooms. Or, perhaps, you would like to pause in The Supreme Council's excellent library, the very first opened to the public in the District of Columbia, or visit the building's several impressive ceremonial rooms and museums." - Scottish Rite, the Supreme Council 33

    "Pike, it must be admitted, added fuel to the fire, not by what he wrote so much as by the fact that people did not take the time to understand what he wrote. Pike uses the word "Masonry" to mean two different things. One is an attitude, a view of the world. The other is the fraternity itself. It really isn't hard to figure out in any given case which he means. Pike is too good a writer not to make his meanings clear. But he assumed that someone who read Morals and Dogma would come to it with a fair background knowledge in Masonry itself. And he assumed that one would read the book from start to finish - not dip into it here and there looking for a sentence of phrase which could be made to mean something he never intended. Thus, when he speaks of Masonry as being the successor to the Mysteries, he does not mean that we have somehow kept the ancient rites of Adonis or Osiris going through the centuries. He means that Masonry, like the Mysteries, teaches by means of initiation and through the use of symbols." Pike wrote:

    "Those who framed its Degrees adopted the most sacred and significant symbols of a very remote antiquity, used, many centuries before the Temple of the King, Solomon, was built, to express to those who understood them, while concealing from the profane, the most recondite and mysterious doctrines in regard to God, the universe, and man. The Moral Code of Masonry is still more extensive than that developed by philosophy. To the requirements of the law of Nature and the law of God, it adds the imperative obligation of a contract. Upon entering the Order, the Initiate binds to himself every Mason in the world. Once enrolled among the children of Light, every Mason on earth becomes his brother, and owes him the duties, the kindnesses, and the sympathies of a brother. On every one he may call for assistance in need, protection against danger, sympathy in sorrow, attention in sickness, and decent burial after death. There is not a Mason in the world who is not bound to go to his relief, when he is in danger, if there be a greater probability of saving his life than of losing his own. No Mason can wrong him to the value of anything, knowingly, himself, nor suffer it to be done by others, if it be in his power to prevent it. No Mason can speak evil of him, to his face or behind his back. Every Mason must keep his lawful secrets."

    "Many of the world's most respected men-including business, miliary, intellectual, political, and religious leaders-have been or are Masons."

    RE: National Day of Prayer and Remembrance Donations for National Disaster Relief

    On this National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, I join with President George W. Bush and all the citizens of the United States of America as we remember the devastating losses caused by Tuesday's terrorist attacks and pray for peace and healing for all. The Masonic fraternity teaches its members to practice brotherly love and relief, and I urge all of you to consider these virtues as you respond to our national tragedy.

    Please help the innocent victims and their families of these horrific acts by sending your donations from Almoner's Funds, Valley Funds, and/or personal funds to the Scottish Rite Foundation, S.J., U.S.A., Inc., 1733 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20009-3103, for "National Disaster, September 11, 2001."

    As our fraternity enters its third century of providing relief to those in need, I remind all of you of our commitment to offer help, aid, and assistance to the distressed. Our citizens have endured much in the past, and we will eventually emerge from this crisis triumphant. May God bless America!


    Facts of Life in Freemasonry

    "Freemasonry embraces the highest moral laws and will bear the test of any system of ethics or philosophy ever promulgated for the uplift of man."
    —General Douglas MacArthur

    "We represent a fraternity which believes in justice and truth and honorable action in your community - men who are endeavoring to be better citizens [and] to make a great country greater. This is the only institution in the world where we can meet on the level all sorts of people who want to live rightly."
    —President Harry Truman, who nuked 2 cities to death with bombs built in Knoxville, Tennessee (the world's largest nuclear waste dump)

    "I fired him [General Douglas MacArthur] because he wouldn't respect the authority of the President. That's the answer to that. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son-of-a-bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail."
    —President Harry S. Truman, quoted in Merle Miller, from Plain Speaking. Truman fired General McArthur during the Korean War because McArthur tried to win the war and invade China (which the Illuminati, who set up Communism, NAZIism, and Capitalism to reap profits and user in its New World Order, could not allow to happen)


    Presidents Who Were Masons - poster - Scottish Rite, the Supreme Council 33, Washington DC, House of the Temple

    First, not every service organization or fraternity is connected to the system of Freemasonry, and we want you to know that. But many organizations are connected with Freemasonry, and if you belong to any of these organizations you should reflect and pray over your involvement with those organizations. But to repeat, many fraternities, fraternal orders, and service organizations have nothing whatever to do with the teachings of Freemasonry. It is important for every single one of us to recognize what we are involved with, what we are not involved with, and what certain organizations are trying to teach us about God.

    Why study the Scottish Rite or the higher Degrees as representative of the Lodge? Since according to 1991 figures, only about 50 percent of all Masons ever move on to the Scottish Rite or to the York Rite combined, and about 50 percent remain with the Blue Lodge, would not it be better just to study the Blue Lodge since all Masons have traveled through it together?

    The Blue Lodge does not teach the deeper principles of Freemasonry.

    Freemasonry defines the Blue Lodge as Degrees one, two and three. During his initiation into the Blue Lodge a candidate is told that nothing in Freemasonry will conflict with his personal religious preferences. The Blue Lodge does not, however, teach the deeper principles of Freemasonry.

    In the 17th Degree, thirteen degrees beyond the Blue Lodge, in the middle of the Scottish Rite, a member begins a course of instruction that will fully unveil the heart and the inner mysteries of Freemasonry. The teachings of the Blue Lodge are in other words, only the preliminary teachings of Freemasonry. The first three degrees of the Blue Lodge do not reveal the heart and inner mysteries of Freemasonry. Only in the 17th Degree--and not in the Blue Lodge-does a Mason in the Scottish Rite approach the heart and the inner mysteries of Freemasonry. This is why we study the Scottish Rite and not the Blue Lodge.

    The primary text today, The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. will be referenced as "the Ritual," or "Ritual." The book we present to you was written by 33rd Degree Mason Charles McClenachan and was last published by The Masonic Publishing Company in 1914. Charles McClenachan was The Grand Master of Ceremonies of the Supreme Council in the Northern Jurisdiction, United States, which covers Pennsylvania.

    Freemasonry uses pagan religions as an inspiration for their ceremonies. If you have doubts, listen to these words of Freemasonry from the Prussian Knight (who claim Noah as their Patriarch), 21st Degree: "They (meaning the Prussian Knights) meet only on nights of the full moon, and allow no other light but hers, because such was the ancient custom of the Order, derived from the mysteries of Ceres and the old worship of Isis." Isis is the moon goddess of Egypt. Ceres is her Greek equivalent. This ritual obviously uses as its inspiration, the worship of Isis. It is of pagan origin, and it involves the worship of false deities.

    The M.P. (Most Puissant, or Powerful, Leader) says, "We, like our ancient Masters, mourn Osiris (that is the sun god of Egypt, the opposite of the moon goddess)-the type to us of the Sun, of light, of life." Then the M.P. says to the initiates, "Weep, my brethren, for Osiris!"

    You will find in this report The Ritual. Most masons do not know of, or deny its existance. It was recently found in the Rare Books Room of Pattee Library at The Pennsylvania State University. Indeed it is an authentic copy of the ritual book. Most masons are told it does not exist, The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. This is the actual ritual. Not some quotes from an anti-Mason book, but significant parts of the actual ritual book. It is no wonder that these secrets of the "craft" and luciferian initiations are kept from, not only the public, but its own members. It is now revealed. Alleluia Yeshua!

    Most Freemassons are deceived regarding the truth that freemasonry is a religion of Lucifer. Any "Christian" who is a freemason, must come out it, renounce it, and repent of it, or he will be damned. Do you "Christian freemasons" think that God Almighty will tolerate members of Lucifer's Lodge? Freemasonry, intentionally misleads and deceives its low level initiates of the Blue Lodge. Does that sound like the work of the True God or a false god? How will you stand before God Almighty as a member of Lucifer's Lodge?


    Masonic Houses - hijacked by Illuminati to destroy USA - As of 2002 the Takeover is virtually complete

    The amazing speed with which the church has gone into total apostacy is understandable. When one sees the list of high level freemasons and their positions of power and influence in in apostate churchianity, the speed and extent of the apostacy is understandable. Almost all "Christian" TV and radio personalities have taken the luciferian initiations of high level freemasonry. R.G. Stair is a notable exception, as a radio personality who has had the courage to expose the luciferian religion of freemasonry. Most try to keep it hushed; however, the positions of power and influence in the church are in the hands of men who have taken luciferian initiations. In the "Christian" seminaries, colleges, universities, TV, radio, and in almost all the large chruch organizations, one will find high level freemason luciferians in control. That is how quickly another gospel has been spread. Most are too proud to recant or remitt. They would rather deny or threaten those who expose their high level fremasonry membership. Why not just publiclly renounce fremasonry?

    "Charleston, SC, Birthplace of Scottish Rite Freemasonry in America - During the 10th Anniversary general membership meeting of the Scottish Rite Research Society on October 2, 2001, III Forest Haggard, 33 degree, GC, SRRS President, presented SRRS fellow certificates and jewels to (L to R) III Jim Tresner, 33 degree, GC, (in full makeup and Victorian costume as Albert Pike for a dramatic dialog that drew a standing ovation from the crowd of 4,000)... " 38 other nations sent Soverign Grand Commanders to the Supreme Council, each escorted by a cadet from The Citadel war college. ("Bicentenial Session Celebrates 2 Centuries of Scottish Rite Achievement", Scottish Rite Journal, Jan 2002) - Video - Scottish Rite, the Supreme Council 33

    Here are some prominent names. Billy Graham, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagan, Paul (TBN) Crouch, Oral Roberts, Benny Hinn, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuller, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrahkan and many others.

    Albert Pike is considered American Freemasonry's most eminent philosopher. Some of Albert Pike's most revealing comments, given only to those taking the Luciferian initiations of the 30, 31, and 32nd degrees, are denied by freemassons. Fremasons are taught that Taxil fabricated the most infamous Pike quote 3 years after Pike's death. However, Anton Chaitkin, speaking for the Schiller Institute, tells us that the infamous Pike quote is available in French and English in the Albert Pike vertical file at the library of the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction at 1733 16th St. NW, Washington D.C. Because freemasons are taught the Taxil explanation, several references are given for these most revealing infamous statements of Albert Pike.

    Pike was also founder of USA's most-infamous homegrown terrorist organization, KKK.

    Only 5% of 32nd and higher degree freemasons are invited into the Illuminati. Many "Christians freemasons" would contend that freemassonry is not a religion. The plan of freemassonry is that the majority of freemasons do not even know it is a religion. The plan of freemasonry is to deceive the majority of freemasons from the truth that Lucifer, or Satan, is the god of freemasonry. The only god who will not be found in the temples of freemassonry is the One True God, Yeshua Messiah, Jesus Christ. You will not be praying in the name of Yeshua, or Jesus, in the Lodge.

    [General] Albert Pike [of Little Rock, Arkansas, world leader of the Illuminati's attampt at overthrow of USA in 1800s] wrote the "Morals and Dogma" of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Freemasonry. Some of the words of this greatest sage of Freemasonry should put Freemasonry in perspective.

    On page 819 you will find just one example of why there are many people in Freemasonry who believe that it is natural to be a Christian and a Mason. "The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them." Freemasonry intentionally misleads the low degree initiates and hides the truth that the god of Freemasonry is Lucifer, except to those in the 30th and higher degrees.

    The following is the infamous quote of Albert Pike. If you still believe the Taxil deception spread within freemasonry, then check out page 321, of the 1942 edition, of Albert Pike's "Morals and Dogma".

    "That which we must say to the crowd is -- We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition.

    "To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees -- The Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine.

    "If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (The God of the Christians) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him?

    "Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also god. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods: darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive."

    "Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil." (Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World, by A.C. De La Rive, La Femme et l'Enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle, page 588)) (Also See "Antichrist and a Cup of Tea," by Tim Cohen, page 235) (See Also "En Route to Global Occupation," by Gary Kah, pp 124-125 and pp 1133-116)

    The 28th Degree, Knight of the Sun or Prince Adept -- In the 28th Degree, under Knight of the Sun, this is what we read from the Ritual: Ah the mysteries of Magism, all the symbols of the gnosis, all the figures of the occult philosophy, all the kabalistic keys of prophecy, are summed up in the sign of the pentagram, the greatest and most potent of an signs (28th Degree, Knight of the Sun, Ritual, page 413).

    [Webmaster's note: My uncle was buried by a Baptist minister using a Masonic ritual at a Masonic cemetary in Madisonville, Tennessee in 2000. This same church threatened to fire its minister if he agreed to conduct a marriage ceremony for two members of its congregation, one of whom was not a member of The Master Race. Immediately prior to his death, he admitted to this webmaster, in front of his family, that his father "grew sugarcane" for the bootlegging industry during National Prohibition, and that "It was better to feed your family than to take Welfare. (TN Prohibition lasted until the 1960s.)]

    Johnny Depp also played a doper cop in the Hollywood movie From Hell, confessing that Satanic Freemason copsters staged the Jack the Ripper ritual serial killings to save the British Monarchy from sin. Those nice Freemasons and Shriners who run Amerika's corporate courts of "justice" today, who hang with their buds in coffins drinking blood and worshipping a Baphomet. FOR REAL. No wonder judges hate the 10 Commandments. It's small comfort to think of judges stripped half nekked with bags over their heads, rope nooses around their necks (the origin of "neckties" worn by lawyers in all courtrooms today), getting electrotortured with cattle prods, during the Masonic Mafia's initiation ceremony for its "Third Degree" (only 390 degrees to go, plus payment of $100-million in initiation fees and annual dues). World Masonic grand commander General Albert Pike, attorney-at-law, was the first general counsel and a founder of the Ku Klux Klan Corporation (terrorist cells first chartered in Pulaski, Tennessee) and was a president of the Tennessee Bar Association.

    "A secretive initiation ceremony in the basement of a Long Island Masonic lodge went 'tragically wrong' when a member mistakenly pulled out a loaded weapon and fatally shot an inductee in the face, police said Tuesday. William James, 47, of Medford, N.Y., was pronounced dead at the scene of Monday night's shooting inside the Southside Masonic Lodge, said Suffolk County Detective Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick. James was participating in an induction around 8:40 p.m. at the Southside Masonic Lodge when Albert Eid, 76, of Patchogue, pulled out a gun from his pants pocket with real bullets instead of blanks and shot him, Fitzpatrick said. Eid had had a permit since 1951 for the .32-caliber handgun used in the shooting, but it was not clear why he brought it to the ceremony. A second weapon, a .22 caliber pistol with blanks, was in Eid's other pocket. The detective said both weapons are approximately the same size. Fitzpatrick told reporters at a news conference that police believe the shooting 'was completely accidental.' Police believe the Masons sat James in a chair and placed cans on a small platform around his head. Eid was standing approximately 20 feet away holding a gun, Fitzpatrick said. A third member out of James' view held a stick, and when the gun was fired the man with the stick was supposed to knock the cans off the platform to make the inductee think that real bullets were fired. Fitzpatrick said the ceremony was designed to create 'a state of anxiety' for the inductees. Police also found a guillotine, rat traps, and a wooden board that Fitzpatrick surmised was used in some type of 'walking the plank' routine in the basement of the one-story building. Eid pleaded innocent to a second-degree manslaughter charge at his arraignment before Suffolk County District Court Judge Paul Hensley in Central Islip. He was released on $2,500 bail and ordered to return to court on April 27. The shooting shone a spotlight on the Masons, a highly secretive society that traces its roots to medieval craft associations. While officials of the lodge denied that guns play a role in ceremonies, Fitzpatrick said members told police the rite involving a gun with blanks goes back at least 70 years. Mayo said James had been a member of the lodge for a few months and Eid had been a member for many years. Monday's ceremony was an initiation into the Fellow Craft, which is the second degree within the Masonic system. James worked as a map drafter and had worked for the Town of Brookhaven since 1988, said town spokeswoman Inez Birbiglia."

    "A few weeks ago, someone at work noticed I was wearing a Masonic ring. The few questions he had seemed to show a genuine interest in the Fraternity, and I answered him frankly. Today, I ran into him again, and he asked me if I knew what the Illuminati were. I said it was a small rationalist group founded in Germany by Adam Weishaupt in 1776. It lasted only 10 years, was modeled on Masonry, but was not a Masonic order. Aside from having a more catchy title than other, similar groups reflecting the rationalism of the Age of Enlightenment, it had little influence. He then asked me if I were an Illuminatus. Of course, I answered negatively. He had a lot of other questions, which I answered carefully, but it soon became very obvious that there was a hidden agenda behind his questions and a change in his attitude toward me. He claimed the U.S. Government was controlled by Masons, that we were trying to bring everyone into a "New World Order," [NWO is a common theme of Scottish Rite Journal] and that one of the reasons Afghanistan was fighting us was because they didn't want to become a New World Order country. The more he talked, the more conspiracies he described, and the more paranoid he appeared. According to him, even the streets in Washington, D.C., were laid out to form evil Masonic symbols; the eye on the back of the dollar bill is the eye of Satan placed there by Masons; George W. Bush is a Mason (which he's not); Bill Clinton [Blythe IV] is a Mason (wrong again [He's the highest-ranking alumnus of the Order of DeMolay for Freemason youth in USA (Bro. Peter W.

    DID MASONIC-ILLUMINATI DOCTORS ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON?

    http://hardtruth.topcities.com/masons_kill_washington.htm

    "Washington died with the eighteenth century. His end came suddenly on 14 December 1799."
    Dr. Mark Mastromarino, an editor in the Presidential Series of the Papers of George Washington, College of William and Mary, from Biography of George Washington

    Q: Were all the pall bearers at President Washington's funeral Masons?
    A: Mrs. Washington designated the Masonic Fraternity to take charge of the funeral. She requested, however, that Colonel Philip Marsteller, who was not a Mason, be a pall bearer. The five remaining pall bearers were all Masons.


    George Washington's Terminal Illness - A Modern Medical Analysis of the Last Illness and Death of George Washington by White McKenzie Wallenborn, M.D.

    On December 12th, 1799, George Washington in his 68th year of life, rode out around his farms on horseback from ten a.m. until about three p.m. The weather that day according to General Washington was snowing in the morning and about three inches deep. Wind at NE and mercury at 30 (30 degrees Fahrenheit). Continued snowing until about one o'clock, and at about four o'clock it became perfectly clear. Wind at same place-not hard. Mercury 28 (28 degrees Fahrenheit) at night. Colonel Tobias Lear, George Washington's secretary, stated that the weather that day was bad, rain, hail, and snow falling alternately with a cold wind. When George Washington returned from his ride, the General's neck appeared wet, snow was hanging from his hair, and he came to dinner without changing his dress (clothes wet?). The next day, Friday December 13th, 1799, the General did not go out as usual for he had taken cold and complained of a severe sore throat. He did go out in the afternoon to mark some trees which had to be cut down. He now had hoarseness which increased in the evening. He spent the evening reading the papers, and when he met anything interesting, he read it as loud as his hoarseness would permit. On the next day, Saturday the 14th, at three o'clock in the morning, he told Mrs. Washington that he was very unwell and that he had an "ague" (paroxysmal chills). It was observed that he could hardly speak and that he breathed with difficulty. At daybreak on the 14th, Colonel Tobias Lear came in and found the General breathing with difficulty and hardly able to utter a word intelligently. A mixture of molasses, vinegar, and butter was given but he (GW) could not swallow a drop and when attempted, he appeared to be distressed, convulsive, and almost suffocated. Later he tried to use a gargle of vinegar and sage tea but in attempting to gargle, he almost suffocated and when the gargle came back from the throat some phlegm followed. At eleven a.m., his swallowing had not improved.

    After the last bleeding it was noted that the blood came " slow and thick" but there was no fainting (his physicians had ordered that he be bled a number of times in the course of his illness and an incredible amount about eighty two ounces or about five pints or units of blood were removed from him).

    At half past four o'clock, Washington gave directions about his will and at about five he again tried sitting up but remained so only half an hour. In the course of the afternoon, he appeared in great pain and distress from difficulty in breathing, and frequently changed his position in bed. At about eight o'clock it was noted that his condition remained unchanged and did so until about ten minutes before his decease (death) when breathing became easier. He died between ten and eleven p.m. December 14th, 1799.

    It would be improper for today's medical practitioners to be critical of the physicians of George Washington's day if they were delivering the standard of care that other physicians of that era were giving to their patients. It would appear that Dr. James Craik, Dr. Elisha Cullen Dick, and Dr. Gustavus Richard Brown were well trained as physicians, were honest and caring, and gave the kind of medical care that their peers would have given. Today we know that many of their methods were wrong and we would do things differently. Today we find the removal of about eighty two ounces of blood (about five pints or units of blood) from a sick patient in less than sixteen hours to be incredible.

    The USA is in deep trouble!....We know that the Masterminds of the Great Conspiracy that are governing this country by their ownership of the President and Congress have a religion. They embrace the Luciferian faith and have marked our country with its symbols. In Washington we have the Obelisk (Phallus of Baal) called the Washington Monument. Here let it be noted that George Washington would have been the first to condemn such a filthy abomination as that monument, which is so sacred to the Luciferians and Free Masons. In fact it was because George Washington forsook Freemasonry and began to expose it that Masonic doctors bled him four times in one day until he died. This happened in December, 1799, at his home at Mt. Vernon, where he had become ill the day before. It should also be noted that in addition to his assassination taking place in the last month of the last year of the 18th century, that his monument, erected by the Masonic Lodge, is 555 feet high. This is significant because five is the number of death in the Luciferian religion, and five tripled indicates assassination.

    Egyption obelisk George Washington monument is a Masonic 555 feet tall

    In addition to the Washington Monument, the city also contains the massive and elaborate 33rd-degree Masonic Temple of the Scottish Rite, complete with its pyramids of Egypt on the roof and its 33 pillars (phalluses), each 33 feet high. Inside the temple room of this heathen building, the walls are covered with drawings of serpents and every unclean thing, and the altar in this room is the black stone block which is sacred to the satanic religions.

    I must also mention here that the very street plan of the city of Washington D.C. is laid out in the form of a temple of Satan. By examining a map of the city you can see clearly the head of 5the goad of Baphomet or Mendes, the compass and square of Freemasonry, and other Luciferian symbology. All these things clearly tell us who is running this country and what their religious beliefs really are. When we consider all of this, is it any wonder why this country is so demon-infested?

    We at NPL are dedicated to getting out such truth, and especially the message of deliverance from the powers of darkness in the mighty Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Folk's, we can do no more to help you learn these principles in time. Those who refuse to stand against Satan as this age darkens will fall. May you and we stand, and put on the whole armor of God, to His glory. (Ephesians 6:10-18)

    Bush Cabinet Liaison Is UT Grad

    By Diane Ballard

    The White House is a different place since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.

    Ed Ingle ('83), part of President Bush's senior staff, says long workdays are longer and incredibly tight security is even tighter.

    And the energy level has doubled, Ingle says.

    "But despite the increased intensity, there's a quietness that wasn't there before," the former UT student government president says. "It's as if a family member had died."

    "Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." - General Herman Goering, President of German Reichstag and NAZI Party, Commander of Luftwaffe during World War 2, sentenced to death at the Nuremberg warcrimes trials (committed suicide first). -- "The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." - Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels, NAZI Reich Minister of Propaganda, who murdered his wife and 5 daughters in Hitler's bunker in Berlin as Russian army closed in for the kill

    Ingle, deputy assistant to the president for cabinet affairs, serves as the White House liaison to cabinet level departments. Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, and their ilk are fixtures of his everyday existence. But after the terrorist attacks, Ingle says his workload mushroomed.

    "Prior to Sept. 11, we coordinated policy with 18 Cabinet agencies," he says. "On Sept. 12, that number expanded to about 50 federal agencies associated with the disaster response."

    Ingle says he was out in the street—having been evacuated from the White House following the plane crashes into the World Trade Center—before he knew a third airliner had struck the Pentagon on Sept. 11.

    "Within a couple of hours, about 30 or 40 White House staff migrated to a nearby office that had been secured by the Secret Service," he recalls. Not until late that afternoon were Ingle and a handful of other senior staff allowed to return to the West Wing.

    Ingle, who finds himself near the epicenter of events that have riveted the nation and world, didn't learn he would be part of the Bush administration until just before the president took office.

    "I didn't know until a couple of days before the inauguration that I would even have a job in the administration," the Dyer, Tennessee, native says. When the president swore in Ingle and other White House staff early on January 22 in the East Room, "it began to sink in what I'd gotten myself into."

    Ingle had been a George W. Bush fan since the mid-'90s and paid his dues during the presidential campaign.

    "I worked in the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. I knocked on doors to get out the vote, stuffed envelopes—whatever needed to be done."

    He also worked in Bush's 1998 re-election campaign for governor of Texas. He was part of the speech team at the 1992 and 1996 Republican national conventions and was director of speech operations at the 2000 convention.

    "I got to work with Karen Hughes [Bush's communications guru] on his speeches in 1996. It sounds smart now, but at the '96 convention, I said, 'George Bush is a guy to watch. He could be president.'"

    Ingle worked for Dick Cheney during the presidential transition last December and January, "but we weren't sure for a while if it was going to be a transition because of the Florida recount!"

    Even before the crisis, Ingle described his job as "constant, 24-hour-a-day communication and coordination." Not only does he communicate the president's agenda to cabinet level departments, but he also brings important issues from the cabinet to the attention of the White House.

    - YET AGAIN
    UN has already forclosed on 80% of USA.
    Law enforcement catalogs for US police offer official uniforms for United Nations infantry

    His journalism training comes in handy for another of his duties—preparing a weekly cabinet report for the president.

    "We flag policy issues that deserve the president's attention," Ingle says. "We take about 40 pages of issues and policy highlights that are submitted to us from 15 or 16 cabinet agencies each week, and then it's my job to help boil it down into about 12 or 15 pages the president reads every weekend.

    "Thank goodness for those journalism classes at UT."

    Ingle was hoping to get to Knoxville during the fall, either for the Torchbearer reunion (for the past recipients of the coveted UT student service award) or for the annual meeting of the College of Communications board of visitors.

    "I've pledged to Dean Dwight Teeter that I'll talk to some classes. But it's not looking too likely that I'll get there this fall."

    After he left Tennessee ("I packed four years of college into five," he jokes), Ingle went to Indiana University, where he earned a master's degree in public administration. There he met his wife to be, Arezu, who is a senior vice president of Host Marriott Corporation. Ingle participated in the federal government's Presidential Management Intern program and spent a summer working for former Tennessee Congressman Ed Jones—yes, Ed Jones, the Democrat.

    "I didn't decide to be a Republican until I got my first real job at the Office of Management and Budget and saw how much was deducted from my check in taxes," Ingle laughs.

    He's worked in Washington for 16 years, including four during the Reagan administration in OMB. From there, he joined the Wexler Group, a D.C. government affairs firm, as senior vice president. He represented numerous Fortune 500 companies and major trade association clients before Congress and the administration.

    He is a principal of the Council for Excellence in Government, a nonprofit, national organization of former government officials who try to improve the performance of government and attract new generations to public service.


    CAFR's prove Americans should (1) never pay taxes again, (2) police should never be funded by traffic tickets and illegal quotas, (3) highways are already funded by fuel tax, and that, (4) city, county, state and federal corporations (so-called "governments") should pay each American over $10,000 annual dividend from the interest, plus back payments and interest! Paying tax is literally paying a bankruptcy creditor for DEBTS of an EMPLOYER that a person is "employed" by under "contract" ("driver license" originally only applied to commercial truck drivers). DEFINITION OF INSANITY - Anyone who volunteers to (1) pay the bankruptcy debt for an employer, (2) waivers his or her paycheck forever, (3) donates all corporate stock back to the corporation, and (4) turns down all pension paychecks. Guess who is stealing all this profit??? Check the audit report from your state here. Get annual copies from your city Inc., county Inc., school Inc., U.S. Inc. Prepare to vomit.

    Despite his years of experience, Ingle is awed to observe history being made. His first cabinet meeting, he says, was a memorable occasion.

    "I thought of the history that had been made in that room, and I couldn't believe I was there with the president, the vice president, Colin Powell, Paul O'Neill [former ALCOA chairman who fired 1,500 employees, moved operations to Mexico and paid himself a $15-Million bonus, with possible ties to international drug smuggling through Blount County, now appointed by Bush to head IRS police and thus the United Nation's International Monetary Fund for their New World Disorder], and the other distinguished members of the cabinet."

    The first cabinet meeting after the terrorist attacks was an emotional one also.

    "The vice president's chair was empty since he had been held in a secure location outside Washington," Ingle says. "I sat along the wall with the other senior White House staff.

    "The president spent the first 20 minutes talking candidly about what the [terrorist attacks] had meant to him and how he wanted the cabinet to rise to the occasion, to be strong and determined, and to set a good example."

    Though the pace and intensity of working in the White House are wearing, Ingle doesn't wish for quieter days to come.

    "I've spent no time thinking about what I'll do next," he says. "I can't say how long I'll be here, but this is a thrilling time."

    BRENT CONKLIN
    Editor In Chief

    You might find it hard to believe, but University of Tennessee students are talking about much more than just UT Dining Services and Aramark.

    Student Government Association leaders have been summoning student input -- via telephone, e-mail, etc. -- on any isssue students deem important enough to discuss.

    SGA President James Kirkland told the Beacon's Christian Bottorff that students have obviously talked about Aramark, but also mentioned other concerns. Among them is the enigmatic campus parking situation and ID card access to the residence halls.

    Yet one look at the SGA online discussion page and it's easy to see what many students at UT are concerned about -- a secret society.

    A message posted Aug. 21 by a so-called "Scarab Hater" stated the following:

    "Is anybody else aware of the fact that UTK has a secret society, and that SGA is just one of the many organizations on campus that the society (the Scarabs) control? Sounds bizarre, but true! The society includes a select group of individuals -- administrators and students (yes ... the administration is aware of it ... in fact ... the administration created it to keep order on campus). There will be much more information coming on this topic."

    Although we don't know whether or not this secret society still exists, we do have proof that it did in the past.

    S. Daniel Carter's homepage, "UT's Scarabbean Senior Society -- EXPOSED," gives us proof that this secret group did exist at one time. The Web site shows us a piece of page 253 in the 1981 Volunteer yearbook that mentions the contingent.

    The site also includes the text of a letter in the April 29, 1991 Beacon written by six seniors concerned that the society was undermining the authority of the SGA. It alleges the society is made up of students, faculty and staff members, and uses "its influence to mend the complexities of this institution on a regular basis."

    Whether or not this is all true at the present time, we don't know. But it is definitely something that requires further delving into.

    ScarabMany students go through the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, my alma-mater, without ever knowing that a secret force is at work. This organization is known as the "Scarabbean Senior Society" and I first heard about them while serving in the Student Senate during my 2nd year at UTK (1990-91).

    Based on my personal encounters with this society and materials uncovered during my research of the history of the University as part of a student government project (initiated in 1991 and reviewed in 1994) I came to have an awareness of this organization and its functions. Due to the secret nature of the organization my understanding may be incomplete and I would caution that the nature of the group may have changed somewhat since the early 1980's when the organization went completely "underground."

    The Scarabbeans are students, faculty, administrators and alumni (the organization has existed since the early part of the 20th century) who work "behind the scenes." While they claim to have the laudable goal of improving and bettering the University, they may be a shadow government which directs policy without any accountability. Their secret meetings give them an unfair advantage over other decision makers on campus and the general public.

    They are known to "groom" prospective members into submission to their way of thinking by getting them comfortable with various "perks" and prestigious positions in public groups on campus. It was also my impression that they often coordinated efforts to pressure their opposition into submission and based on contacts that I have had in recent years it would appear that this tactic continues. It is my personal contention that the administration, and certain students who don't want to disturb the status quo both use this arrangement to perpetuate their own power by giving the student members the impression that they actually have power when in reality they don't.

    The PirateIn the past such notables as Chris Whittle (UTK-'69) have belonged. Many "Torchbearer" award recipients both past and present turn out to belong to this secret society. The best explanation of how they operate came in a 1991 letter from disgruntled graduating senior student leaders.

    The Scarabbean Senior Society is believed to have been created as an all male group in 1915 at a time many campus groups were developing, including the precursor of the Student Government Association, the All Students Club. Membership in the current incarnation of this group is somewhat more inclusive and includes both women and minority members. Students, alumni, and staff are all represented in the membership of this group to ensure that its spheres of influence are omnipresent. An excerpt from the 1919 "Volunteer" yearbook (page 176) says the following about this secret group...

    The Scarabbean Senior Society is composed of those male members of the Senior Class who have manifested in an exceptional degree during their undergraduate career the qualities of dependable manhood, natural leadership, and active, intelligent loyalty to their Alma Mater. It numbers some members also among Faculty and Alumni. As regards its meetings and processes, it is a secret organization, but its one purpose is to foster a progressive college spirit by quickening worthy student activities and advancing through every legitimate means the welfare of the entire student body.

    Scarabs (see picture above left from the group's crest), from which the term Scarabbean derives, are "stout beetles" which are represented by the logo incorporated into the header of this page. That particular representation is taken directly from the Scarabbean Society's coat of arms. Group members have, in the past, worn pins bearing this symbol during official ceremonies such as graduation.

    I believe that it is critical that this group go public, and do not feel that I can trust the University until it does. To back this up, the University will not see one cent of monitary support from me until the group goes public and student disciplinary proceedings involving crimes of violence are opened to the public. I simply can not trust them.

    Intrigued? Want to know more?

    Additional Details...

    My interest in this secret society was rekindled three years after I graduated by a discussion forum (since deleted from the server) on the internet about this organization. To better inform the apparently interested parties I have posted this basic information and proof for the reference of all. I hope it is helpful.

    UT's secret society 'bugs' alumnus

    S. DANIEL CARTER
    1994 Alumnus, Political Science

    The Daily Beacon has made several references this academic year to the very active "online discussion" of UT's very own secret society -- the "Scarabbean Senior Society." I suspect though that many people, especially those who don't follow the SGA discussion page, aren't exactly sure what this organization does or what my involvement with this issue has been, or even how I got involved in this particular debate since I graduated in 1994.

    I was active in the SGA from 1990 until my graduation in 1994 and had encountered some opposition to some of my more "outspoken" positions in favor of students' rights and SGA power. Although current Fort Sanders Sen. Jamie Pizzirusso and myself have found ourselves on opposing sides in off-campus political areas, his service is perhaps the closest analogy to the type of debate that I attempted to bring to the Senate. I kept getting told that the "Scarabs" were who were obstructing this type of an agenda every time I or someone else attempted to forward it. At the time I thought this was a cop-out on their part.

    Several frustrated, and unfortunately graduating, students finally went public about the existence of the "Scarabbean Senior Society" in 1991. They told all of us 'then-younger' students in SGA about the "bugs" and wrote a detailed letter to the editor of the Beacon. Quite frankly, giving my opposition a name at the time really didn't mean that much to me. I knew who was doing what and I thought that was all that I needed to know.

    It was about this time that the SGA began some very early research on UT history in anticipation of celebrating the bicentennial in 1994. I became fascinated by Milton Kline's archives in the basement of the old library and spent quite a few hours down there immersed in old pictures, yearbooks and the like. Then I began to notice something.

    There were quite a few references to the "Scarabbean Senior Society" or "Scarabbean" this or that. To my surprise this group really existed and I decided to copy all of these records in the event that they might be of use someday. This was realized with the requests for more information that I began getting when I happened upon the discussion group.

    My job, with Security On Campus Inc. entails that I keep up with various campus security issues nationwide and student issues; so it makes sense to keep up with my alma mater. I was looking for a student senate meeting schedule when I noticed that the "Scarabs" were still being talked about.

    Based on my personal experiences, research and messages that current students have sent me I have managed to assemble a basic picture of what the society is. It has been around for a very long time, dating back at least to the 1920s, and the membership is comprised of students, employees (faculty and administration) and perhaps alumni. Their stated purpose is to make the University a better place, but in reality as best as I can determine they allegedly operate as a shadow government without accountability. They were much more public until the early 1980s when they began to go completely underground. Essentially no records exist after 1981.

    It has been said that this is simply the presence of institutional forces at work. This is certainly true, but the Scarabs give this force a cohesion and institutional memory that otherwise would not be present. This ability to organize their team when you don't know who they are, and their "memory" of past campaigns, gives them a distinctly unfair advantage over any newcomers or outsiders.

    It is my understanding based on accounts and some strangely similar personal experiences that they attempt to "groom" younger students for potential membership by offering them "perks" and opportunities to serve in prestigious positions in public groups on campus. Unfortunately what many of these students fail to understand is that true power and prestige must be earned from the public, not a select few. If you step out of the lock-step march you lose your supposed "power."

    It is the contention of a good number of us -- both alumni and current students who have discussed this issue -- that the organization ought to go public. We won't ask them to seek praise they don't want (selfless service is a wonderful thing) but we demand accountability. Without this I can assure you the University won't see one cent of gift money from me for the rest of my life; my gifts until that time will be in routing out unaccountability both with the Scarabbeans and in the closed-student conduct hearings that go on without student knowledge.

    For those of you who don't believe me just go check out the bricks placed at the base of the Torchbearer as a part of the 1997 Senior Gift Challenge. There is one on the side facing the stadium that is engraved "Scarabbean Senior Society." And last but not least, don't forget to ask, "Are you a bug?"

    Secrecy may disguise questionable motives

    Andrew Couch
    Freshman, undecided

    Congratulations on your investigative efforts in exposing the Scarabbean Society.

    Truly, an organization that operates in secrecy, with an unknown agenda, can be a hindrance to activities on this campus. History has shown us that organizations that operate in secret, such as the National Socialist Party in 1930s Germany, can become something whose decisions can have a ultimately negative impact. Now, please do not take it that I am saying the Scarabbean Society has an agenda like the Nazis', but rather that their secret operations could possibly work against the good they desire to do for the university.

    Scarabbean members claim they operate in secret so they can act as "a forum where members don't grandstand and are open and honest without seeking credit." While that seems all well and good, it poses a problem. Other UTK organizations such as the SGA, Freshman Council and the URHC operate in public. We can see what they are doing. We can give them input, even if we aren't members. They serve in elected posts, so they are answerable to us in the end.

    The Scarabbean Society, however, operates outside of these guidelines. Up until the Beacon's story, many students were unaware of the society's existence. This is somewhat astounding since they have been around for 85 years! Carver and others state that the "Scarabs have no power." Yet, when that statement is made by the SGA President about an organization that has in its body the SGA Vice President, SGA Student Services Director, the UAC chair and the IFC President (sorry Will), it sounds fishy to me. By operating in the shadows to do good, the Scarabbean Society casts a shadow of doubt on the motives of some past and present UTK leaders.

    Ballot boxing

    Editorial
    Volume 89 Number 26
    Thursday, February 14, 2002

    Well it's official - the race is on.

    Every year, right around Valentine's Day a buzz build on campus and rumors float around. These speculations usually have little to do with love and everything to do with power.

    And there's one question on most people's minds.

    "Who's going to run for SGA president this year?"

    Of course, the buzz centers around juniors in the upper echelons of the Student Government Association. Usually, everyone has a pretty idea of who's going for what, but surprises do happen.

    Eric Beaty came out the woodwork a few years ago with his bid for SGA President. Similarly, Carlos Myers took a respectable percentage of the vote last year, possibly making a cut and dry election turn into one of the first split-party SGA administration at this university in years.

    And most seniors on campus remember the unraveling of UT's "secret society" by old Beacon editor Nellan Young. This has now lead to the annual question of - who's the Scarab-puppet candidate?

    Yes, every election is full of exciting news. We're sure that this year will not be an exception to this rule. However, the players do look a little different this time around.

    Elizabeth Clement comes from serious leadership experience in SGA. After moving through the ranks, she's currently the chair of the Undergraduate Academic Council and one of the strongest candidates in this early race.

    However, Aaron Lay hasn't been sitting around picking his nose for the last three years. He has also held some serious leadership positions within SGA.

    Serving as director of SGA's government affairs committee definitely shows his commitment and experience in dealing with this university's funding crisis and our uncooperative state government.

    After last year's run for the Tennessee Higher Education Council representative position, Chris Dollar is back in the public eye throwing his hat into the SGA Presidential rat race.

    He wasn't involved with SGA this year, but he did work with on ACE and with other campus organizations. He may be able to successfully work the "reform" approach in his campaign because of this hiatus from SGA.

    So right now we have three candidates all of whom are veterans to the SGA circuit and know how to play the election game. What will be interesting to see is how these three students will be able to mobilize students' loyalty this time around.

    What everyone can't forget is that the process is just beginning. Candidates do come out of the woodwork and effect the outcomes of past elections. Things will most likely not be any different this time around.

    And of course we have yet to hear anything from the Party of Darkness. While many have doubted the group's ability to pull votes and effect the process, we shouldn't forget Holly Jones' technical win for the SGA vice presidency over Becky Cassill.

    The game is just beginning and will most likely be much more complicated than it is right now. We're not going to make the mistake of trying to call the victory early.

    The Daily Beacon learned that lesson from the last U.S. presidential campaign.

    Don't Vote, Don't Gripe

    KNIGHT STIVENDER
    Managing Editor

    The anonymous posting on the Student Government Association's Internet discussion page poses an intriguing question:

    "Is anybody else aware of the fact that UT has a secret society, and that SGA is just one of the many organizations on campus that the society (the Scarabs) controls?"

    The mysterious message continues, describing a campus political system that "picks students and sets them up to become influential members of the student body. This enables the administration to live without the fear of surprises popping up."

    The message, posted Aug. 21, has prompted a lengthy on-line criticism of SGA and its so-called "secret society," and has left student government leaders feverishly denying the accusations.

    "Secret Society" or not, the SGA deserves its share of criticism. From the elitist tradition of Greek dominance in its leadership to the exclusive appointment practices of the Freshman Council, the SGA needs a new image.

    Students crying "secret society" have done so understandably. Last fall, the SGA proudly endorsed the administration's proposed $100 per semester technology fee. While the fee may have proven later to be a good idea, many students at the time were opposed to the fee. Letters denouncing the fee poured into the Beacon, and for the first time in recent history, students actually attended weekly SGA meetings to protest it. Regardless, the fee passed easily with only mild opposition from student government representatives.

    And while the SGA should scrap its elitist traditions, the student body itself should shift the finger of blame to itself and understand that it is a tremendous part of the problem.

    Voter turnout on SGA election day is, historically, pathetic and embarrassing. This spring, only 2,942 students (of a student body of nearly 30,000) voted in the student government presidential race. Last year, the numbers were worse, with only 1,850 voting in the entire election. In 1995, a meager 2,600 students voted in the election, and results in 1994 showed 1,800 ventured to the polls.

    If "secret society" members control SGA, students are letting them get away with it. By not voting, students are refocusing SGA representatives' accountability away from themselves and more in the direction of the direction of the administration and a core group of influential student leaders that helps them win the laughable election. When a controversial issue arises, the student body shouldn't expect to have much say in the matter since they didn't even try to elect student leaders they could trust to vote their way. The technology fee is an expensive reminder.

    True, the SGA does need to clean up its image (and weed out any "secret societies," formal or informal). But this won't happen until students demand it at the polls. Student government will represent students as soon as students care enough to click the mouse button at a computerized voting station come election day.

    Self-importance

    Editorial

    You may or may not have heard rumors before about some secret society that runs the UT campus.

    No longer is the existence of a secret society on campus just a rumor. The Scarabbean Senior Society is very real and very much alive.

    Unfortunately, that's about all we know about the secret group. The Beacon has contacted a majority of active Scarabs, but they aren't saying much. Most simply admit to being members and claim that "the group is a good group, and we work for the betterment of the university."

    However, from those who did talk, we're getting a lot of mixed messages.

    SGA President and Scarab Will Carver says that the group doesn't have any power. Then he says that they work for the betterment of UT.

    In fact, the motto of the group is "To be nameless in worthy deeds."

    Our question is, how can one "better the university" or do "worthy deeds" without power?

    The answer is this: the Scarabbean Senior Society does not have power; its members do.

    Among the Scarab ranks are the current SGA president and vice president, the director of student services, UAC chair, Interfraternity Council president, senior gift committee chair and SGA diversity affairs director, as well as orientation leaders, Vol ambassadors and members of various other campus organizations.

    People in these positions have power, whether it is the power to influence student legislation, the power to influence groups of students or the power to select students for membership or leadership positions.

    We don't believe for one second that the Scarabs separate their other positions on campus from the group or that they are not influenced by what is discussed in their meetings.

    In fact, the issue of the Scarabbean newsletter, "The Pirate," obtained by the Beacon, contains articles written by "comrades" who are involved in campus organizations. In a call for alumni donations, the newsletter states, "Gifts of any monetary value are greatly appreciated and will help us to maintain a high level of campus activity."

    We think that speaks for itself.

    One reason the society is secret, according to Carver, is so it can serve as a forum where members don't grandstand and are open and honest.

    Wait a minute -- open and honest? We hope that our student leaders are open and honest on a regular basis. We would like to believe that open forums such as Senate and UAC meetings would provide student leaders the opportunity to be open and honest. We need people in leadership who are not afraid to say what they honestly think. People who act in secret are weak. We need leaders who are strong.

    So, while the Scarabs are being open and honest in their meetings, they also claim to be representing students.

    Since when did the students ask to be represented in secret meetings?

    SGA Vice President Gealita Sylvester said that she represents students at all times, and went so far as to say that she doesn't see why students wouldn't want her in a group that was for betterment of the university.

    If she doesn't see that, she must be blind. There are plenty of reasons why students wouldn't want their elected officials to be members of a secret group.

    If a group meets in secret, claiming to represent students at the same time, how do students know that their best interests are being represented? How do we know that their idea of "betterment" and "worthy deeds" is the same as the average student's?

    And how can it even be said that the group is for the "betterment of the university"? The term "betterment" is subjective -- while one person may think that adding the sexual-orientation clause to Hilltopics is "betterment," someone else may disagree.

    We wonder who made the Scarabs' ideas of "betterment" better than anyone else's. The simple fact is, the Scarabs are too self-important to care. They love the university more than anyone and they know more than anyone what is good for the university.

    We are disappointed in the members of the Scarabbean Senior Society. We do not feel sorry for them in any of the consequences, public or private, that they may have to pay for their membership. Students will now wonder when Scarabs propose bills, when they sit on selection committees and when they make suggestions, whether they are acting as students or as Scarabs. "Comrades" should have thought about their friends, co-workers and constituents when they took their Scarabbean oaths.

    But sometimes, feeling self-important is more important than anything else.


    Scarabs, students need to join forces

    David Henderson
    Godfather, Party of Darkness

    So there seems to be a bit of bitterness on the journalistic fronts of KnoxVegas here of late. Well, kids, this is good. An active society will always prevail over a stagnant mass, regardless of motives. Let me explain what I am talking about.

    Unlike some, I would rather not fade into obscurity.

    Some people are claiming that the Beacon is drawing attention away from the real issues on campus by pushing articles about the Scarabbeans. I must agree with Mr. Neuhaus in saying that the Beacon is doing nothing wrong here. Aside from their continued coverage of funding issues, the topic of this secret society is of interest to students, so articles are in order. I find it aggravating that more people respond to the editor about the Scarabs than about funding issues, but that is an entirely different issue.

    Over the past few days, people of various affiliations have contacted the Beacon, offering their opinions on this group of secret people. Some people have called names, and other people have whined about criticisms and tried to weaken the journalistic integrity of others. I fail to see the point of any of this.

    There are a lot of things going on here at UT, and yes, there are a lot of underground organizations running around getting things done that otherwise would not be done, but this is nothing new. The Scarabbeans have been around for a long time. They were here two years ago when their existence was denied by Boyd Richards in the campaign debates, and they were here last year when various candidates were being selected for the political forces that ran for office.

    Remember, this is nothing new.

    What is new here at UT is the funding crisis that is going to be coming to a point over the next six months. I fear the we have a more serious issue here than most realize. You may be lobbying for one tax reform or another, but this will not fix the problem. After hearing Bill Dunn speak to the College Republicans a few weeks ago, I am convinced that the legislation would not give us the money, even if they did have it. Our state representatives believe that UT mishandled the money. To paraphrase Rep. Dunn, "Why should I put more money into a system that is not going to handle it properly?"

    So what can we do? How can we actually get better funding for UT? And what does this have to do with the Scarabs?

    We need to move through the proper channels to place pressure on the administration, letting them know that we don't appreciate losing future funds because they cannot handle the state's money. We need to investigate the actual breakdown of funds allocated in the past so that we can get a better idea of why people like Bill Dunn have this impression of UT. Should this be handled subversively? No.

    The Scarabbeans have always held positions of power within the various student organizations, and their ability to retain some semblance of influence is unquestioned. I say this based on the legacy of members held in the organization's roster. There are no allegations here. It is a known fact that the SGA president has influence over the campus, every year. Their network of people stretches far from the limits of the SGA as well, providing contacts to all kinds of other influential resources.

    So instead of trying to crack the shell of the Scarabs, why don't we work together to try to crack the administration's hand on our money. I don't propose to bite the hand that feeds you, but if you (Scarabs) are earnestly interested in working to get better funding for higher education at UT, then let's meet. Will you?

    Mid-Semester Reflections

    BRENT CONKLIN
    Editor In Chief

    A lot has taken place on the campus of the University of Tennessee since classes began on Aug. 27, and in all of the Beacon's 40 issues to date, we have covered the news we feel is most important to our readers -- students, faculty, staff, alumni, etc.

    But, of course, certain news items have garnered more attention than others. Thus, we present our top 10 news events of the mid-semester (in descending order):

    10. Hap McSween -- It's not everyday that the United States sends little sojourners to Mars, but this year our country has ... with some assistance from our very own Hap McSween.

    It's a great honor and a privilege to be at the same institution as McSween, a geologist who has been at the forefront of NASA's Mars exploration. And it is important that the entire University community joins us in our salute.

    9. Gator Bait ... Again -- It must be in the stars, because even with leading Heisman Trophy candidate Peyton Manning at the helm, the Tennessee Volunteers can't come close to beating Florida.

    So yet again, the currently ranked No. 8 Vols find themselves scrambling to make it into the Bowl Alliance, which would only give them an outside chance of winning the national championship.

    8. Roll Call -- Out of nowhere, the UTPD instituted a roll-call system for ticket distribution to the Florida game. Many folks were not happy, but it seemed to work. No more cutting, just fair-and-square first come, first served.

    7. Turner House -- "Out with the old, in with the new" has become the battle cry of our University. The 104-year-old building on the Hill doesn't stand a chance pitted against the nasty foe of progress.

    As Chancellor Bill Snyder said, "I don't think we ever would have renovated Turner House. It would not have been cost-effective to remodel it and bring it into compliance with disability codes."

    6. Campus Assaults -- Sexual assaults have once again earned some unfortunate headlines this semester. In mid-September, three assaults took place on the bike trail between Sutherland Avenue Apartments and Concord Street. Someone was eventually arrested in connection with the assaults.

    5. Secret Society? -- We've only touched briefly on the Scarabean Society at UT, which, according to Vice Chancellor for Administration and Student Affairs Phil Scheurer, does exist. However, it has been extensively talked about on the SGA online discussion page.

    More info on this subject, we feel, is yet to come.

    4. Bomb Threats -- The University of Tennessee campus must be boring to some people, because 11 bomb threats have been made to the UTPD this year.

    Eleven!

    3. Persistent Pizzirusso -- There have been many figures on our campus that have captured our attention and earned our respect over the past few years -- whether it be McSween or Manning. This fall we have added a new name to that list, Fort Sanders Sen. Jamie Pizzirusso.

    While it seems other senators in the SGA Student Senate are content to just sit on their hands, the feisty Pizzirusso loves to go out on the proverbial limb, seeking nothing more than to make campus a better place for his constituents. That is how he has earned our respect.

    2. "Old Row" -- Fire safety codes. Fire safety codes. Fire safety codes.

    These are the lone three reasons why the University has given the "Old Row" fraternity houses that much-publicized ultimatum (get up to code or you'll have to vacate). The alleged hidden-agenda rumor (parking lot, parking lot, parking lot) that we have heard through the grapevine has yet to come to fruition.

    1. Aramark -- You were probably wondering where UT's Dining Service provider was going to land on this list, but to no one's surprise -- probably even Aramark itself -- it has llanded in our No. 1 spot.

    From the Price-Increase Scandal to Grease-Gate, Aramark has been in the headlines more this fall than any other UT entity. Yet, it is important to display the good with the bad as Aramark has also impressed UT with the Presidential Cookout and the hand it played in the recent Monday Nitro event.

    While it has not been a semester to write home about, we can only hope that Aramark has learned from its mistakes and will continue to work with the best interests of the UT community in mind.


    We as graduating seniors have an embarrassing confession to make-we've been outsmarted. As student leaders on this campus, we have fought the rumors that there is nothing students can do to improve life at the university and valiantly marched onward into naivete, thinking we could make a difference. Well, the sad truth of the matter is that in the waning days of our careers at UT we've stumbled upon reality, or perhaps it has stumbled upon us. The system is working against us.

    Now you may ask yourself, what's new about that? Most students can hum the tune of the "big orange screw." We beg of you, there is something new. Its not really new, actually, it is quite old, dating practically to the founding of the university. It is a secret society known as the "Scarabbean Senior Society." A scarab is a stout beetle used in ancient times as a symbol of resurrection. Up until around 1969 the members and activities of this organization were known to the campus as it diligently worked to correct problems on campus. For some strange reason this group has gone into hiding but still works to use its influence to mend the complexities of this institution on a regular basis. Its membership extends far and wide to include administrators, faculty, staff and even fellow students.

    Now don't get us wrong, we agree with the goals of this group which calls for a "great university" because "a great University of Tennessee helps every Tennessean," but we do not feel that the "few" necessarily know what's best for the "many." We do not condemn the members of this organization, in fact many of them are our close friends and colleagues. We do, however, condemn their methods. Because the society is a select group of administrators, faculty and students, many views of the average student are overlooked by only focusing on the views of the society. The state of Tennessee has Sunshine Laws that are designed to ensure that the day-to-day policy decisions of the university stay above-board and in the "sunshine" where they should be in all state agencies. Is UT not a state funded agency? The governor's office is sure quick to remind us of that when budget cuts roll around. We realize that with any large bureaucratic entity the strategies and policies of an institution must be planned before their presentation to its masses. However, this does not mean enactment of rules and regulations before proper notice and approval by its members. The abuse of position and influence is wrong.

    Many have been afraid to say it or even to talk about it, but the time to be afraid is past. We believe that the student, body faculty and staff deserve to know who really makes decisions here at UTK. We ask the "Scarabs" to come out of hiding and be upfront about their networking and influence. The students could benefit from knowing who to really go to when they have a problem. So who are they, anyway? They are our professors, our advisors, our department heads, our staff members, our alumni, our administrators, and some of our campus leaders to hit the high spots. Just look at the banner hanging on Ayers Hall.

    We hope that, armed with this information, the students, for once, can make a stand and demand changes for the better. Maybe student morale will change knowing that decisions are made on the up and up and with our knowledge. Patrons of the university, especially the students, should be involved in the day-to-day administrative decisions that affect our lives. We need to unite and stand up for our rights to voice our concerns and needs. Perhaps more students, faculty, and alumni would open their mouths instead of closing their eyes to the problems of this institution.

    "What can I do about this?" you ask. It's simple. Ask for change, stand up for what you believe, ask for a mile and you might get an inch, but keep on asking and demanding. Oh and don't forget before you to to someone with a complaint or request don't forget to ask, "Are you a Bug?"

    SGA officers defend Scarabs

    George W. Brown
    Staff Writer

    SGA executive officers and an estimated 30 students engaged in a heated question-and-answer session regarding the Scarabbean Senior Society following a routine SGA meeting Tuesday night.

    SGA Commuter Senator Henrique Vissotto proposed a bill at the meeting that asked for a clarification of the relationships between the Scarabbean Senior Society and the SGA.

    In an article published by the Daily Beacon Nov. 15, the secret Scarrabean Senior Society was reported to include some SGA members, who claim to work for the "betterment of the university." However, Vissotto said he wrote the bill because he felt students needed an opportunity to ask questions about the society.

    Routinely, legislation proposed at the meeting is presented and then discussed and voted on at the next meeting. But Vissotto proposed to suspend the rules to discuss the issue at Tuesday's meeting. SGA senators voted the motion down with a narrow margin, postponing official discussion on the matter until the next SGA meeting, Dec. 7.

    However, during his report, SGA President Will Carver denied any conflict of interest with his ties to the Scarabbean Senior Society and his role in SGA.

    "I've made a conscious effort throughout my term in office and throughout the other things I've been involved in on campus to keep SGA or the Dance Marathon or All Campus Events and that group as two separate things," Carver said. "I've never tried to bring the ideas of that group into SGA and I've never let them make the decisions I make."

    After the meeting, SGA Vice President Gealita Sylvester furthered Carver's statement, citing the possibility of existing opportunities to influence senators.

    "I think that that's what the big idea is, that we can influence people to do all these things that they would only do for the university," Sylvester said. "And we don't influence that. That's the whole discussion- control and the administration." Ayappa Biddanda, a member of the Coalition for Student Power, said he had no problem with undergraduates discussing campus issues.

    "But once you bring in administrators and faculty members, therein lies the problem," Biddanda said.

    Carver said no administrators have ever been present at meetings he has attended.

    Oslo Cole, a student present at the discussion, said students must cross what others described as the "line" separating public groups from private groups.

    "At this point the organization is so secret, it's so underground, that we have no idea what that line is," Cole said. "I think that's the question that everybody's raising here. Accountability is a big issue because these people are accountable to us...We have to cross that line. We have to ask those questions."

    Jay McQueen, GSA senator, supported the secret society, citing constitutional rights.

    "You're basically saying that anytime any group meets in private and they belong to another group that there's some type of conflict of interest," McQueen said. "And that's not true."

    Carver said only student ideas, feasible or not, have been discussed at the secret meetings.

    "It's a student organization and it's student-led and the ideas are student ideas; they're not administrators' ideas at all."

    But despite the explanations given by SGA officers, students still questioned the credibility and effectiveness of SGA.

    William Lamberth, SGA Apartments Residence senator, said he trusted current SGA executive officers but could not necessarily put that same trust in future officers.

    "In my opinion this has been the most effective SGA in five years or more and we've done a lot," Lamberth said. "This mars the whole face of anything we've done and will do. It's a mystery and everybody is worried about it because of that- because it is secret."

    Fraternity Park senator Erick Clifford asked Carver if the society will continue to exist in light of the recent controversy. Carver said he believes the secret society will continue to operate, considering its long tradition.

    When asked if he would resign as SGA president, Carver said if enough students felt it was necessary, he would have no other choice but to step down. "I wasn't elected to represent the Scarabbean Society," Carver said. "I was elected to represent the students."

    During the actual senate meeting, three bills were passed. A bill proposed by Clement Hall Senator Holly Jones will gradually convert SGA elections from standard voting to Web-based voting. Lamberth proposed a bill which will install a laptop lab in Hodges Library, and Vissotto proposed a bill which will provide scholarships to international students from a private fund.

    Scarab article takes away from 'real' news

    Jay McQueen
    Former VP, GSA

    With all due respect, I did not see how your unmasking of the Scarabbean Society was all that beneficial. However, there are two areas in which the article will work to the detriment of the SGA.

    1. The article has served to turn attention away from the primary issues affecting the campus. Those issues are as follows:

    The possible implementation of a state income tax and the ramifications said implementation would have on the UT system

    The possible construction of a four lane highway between the ag campus and the main campus

    The attrition rate amongst first-year students

    The salary gap between tenured professors here and those teaching elsewhere

    What Wade Gilley's long term budgetary plan means to the UT system in the immediate future

    2. The article has hurt the credibility of SGA leaders who truly have the best interests of the university in mind. There are several organizations on this campus that don't thrust their members into the spotlight and have secret rites. This is true of organizations as diverse as Greek community, in which chapters keep their initiation rites a secret, to gay organizations that aren't interested in having their membership ostracized. Does this mean that any of these organizations are sinister in nature? Of course not!

    In conclusion, I want to say that it's very easy to be cynical about the SGA in other leadership organizations on this campus. However, when you know the people who are in the these organizations and the hours upon hours that they spend on the etterment of this campus, you find that such cynicism is a knee-jerk reaction based on ignorance.

    Vissotto withdraws Scarab bill

    Dorie Turner
    Staff Writer

    SGA Commuter Senator Henrique Vissotto withdrew a bill requiring SGA members who are also in the secret Scarabbean Society to answer questions about the group in a public forum at Tuesday's meeting.

    Vissotto previously told the Beacon that he presented the bill at the Nov. 23 meeting because he felt all senators should have a chance to ask questions about the Scarabs in a public arena.

    "We want to know if there are unethical things going on," Vissotto said. "If they are just meeting, then that's OK. But if it is unethical, then no."

    After the SGA meeting on Nov. 23, senators and students engaged in a question-and-answer session regarding the Scarabbean Society.

    Because he felt the objectives of the bill had been fulfilled, Vissotto said he felt there was no need to proceed any further.

    "The bill asked for the people to come and answer questions about the Scarabs," Vissotto said. "The last senate meeting we were here almost an hour and a half asking questions. We accomplished everything."

    Another bill passed at the meeting requires the SGA to write monthly reports tracking each bill until it is "completed or dismissed."

    The bill takes effect beginning next semester and will be added to the Senate bylaws so that it becomes a tradition.

    Vissotto presented another bill at the meeting that would require a committee to research peer institution's student governments to find out how they allocate their student activity fees.

    The bill would create ideas to better the allocation of fees at UT and would allow the SGA to have more control over the allocation, Vissotto said.

    Self-importance

    Editorial

    You may or may not have heard rumors before about some secret society that runs the UT campus.

    No longer is the existence of a secret society on campus just a rumor. The Scarabbean Senior Society is very real and very much alive.

    Unfortunately, that's about all we know about the secret group. The Beacon has contacted a majority of active Scarabs, but they aren't saying much. Most simply admit to being members and claim that "the group is a good group, and we work for the betterment of the university."

    However, from those who did talk, we're getting a lot of mixed messages. SGA President and Scarab Will Carver says that the group doesn't have any power. Then he says that they work for the betterment of UT.

    In fact, the motto of the group is "To be nameless in worthy deeds." Our question is, how can one "better the university" or do "worthy deeds" without power?

    The answer is this: the Scarabbean Senior Society does not have power; its members do.

    Among the Scarab ranks are the current SGA president and vice president, the director of student services, UAC chair, Interfraternity Council president, senior gift committee chair and SGA diversity affairs director, as well as orientation leaders, Vol ambassadors and members of various other campus organizations.

    People in these positions have power, whether it is the power to influence student legislation, the power to influence groups of students or the power to select students for membership or leadership positions.

    We don't believe for one second that the Scarabs separate their other positions on campus from the group or that they are not influenced by what is discussed in their meetings.

    In fact, the issue of the Scarabbean newsletter, "The Pirate," obtained by the Beacon, contains articles written by "comrades" who are involved in campus organizations. In a call for alumni donations, the newsletter states, "Gifts of any monetary value are greatly appreciated and will help us to maintain a high level of campus activity."

    We think that speaks for itself.

    One reason the society is secret, according to Carver, is so it can serve as a forum where members don't grandstand and are open and honest.

    Wait a minute -- open and honest? We hope that our student leaders are open and honest on a regular basis. We would like to believe that open forums such as Senate and UAC meetings would provide student leaders the opportunity to be open and honest. We need people in leadership who are not afraid to say what they honestly think. People who act in secret are weak. We need leaders who are strong.

    So, while the Scarabs are being open and honest in their meetings, they also claim to be representing students.

    Since when did the students ask to be represented in secret meetings? SGA Vice President Gealita Sylvester said that she represents students at all times, and went so far as to say that she doesn't see why students wouldn't want her in a group that was for betterment of the university.

    If she doesn't see that, she must be blind. There are plenty of reasons why students wouldn't want their elected officials to be members of a secret group.

    If a group meets in secret, claiming to represent students at the same time, how do students know that their best interests are being represented? How do we know that their idea of "betterment" and "worthy deeds" is the same as the average student's?

    And how can it even be said that the group is for the "betterment of the university"? The term "betterment" is subjective -- while one person may think that adding the sexual-orientation clause to Hilltopics is "betterment," someone else may disagree.

    We wonder who made the Scarabs' ideas of "betterment" better than anyone else's. The simple fact is, the Scarabs are too self-important to care. They love the university more than anyone and they know more than anyone what is good for the university.

    We are disappointed in the members of the Scarabbean Senior Society. We do not feel sorry for them in any of the consequences, public or private, that they may have to pay for their membership. Students will now wonder when Scarabs propose bills, when they sit on selection committees and when they make suggestions, whether they are acting as students or as Scarabs. "Comrades" should have thought about their friends, co-workers and constituents when they took their Scarabbean oaths.

    But sometimes, feeling self-important is more important than anything else.

    'Long-winded' article attacks lawful group

    Kris Hartley
    Senior, classics

    I am not a Scarab. I had never even heard of the group (I guess that is their point), until I read your presumptuous, haphazard, long-winded harangue against this 85-year-old organization.

    First, your article presupposes that the organization endeavors to bring about everything short of famine and pestilence for UT. Maybe, Beacon folks, a good follow-up article would better support your assertions, one involving proof and evidence. Go ahead and give us reasons to fear the Scarabs. Find examples of when their ill will has undermined the quality of our institution. Isn't proof at the heart of the journalistic process?

    Second, if my memory serves me, in Political Science 101 students learn that the constitution allows citizens to convene in private, regardless of whether those citizens wish to advance the partisan agenda of the Beacon. Should these students, who happen to be leaders in the student government, not be allowed to gather?

    Further, are you na•ve enough to think that leaders on the state and national level NEVER convene in private? Maybe nobody in power should be able to gather and discuss issues. Maybe we should demand that our leaders not go to church, the Elks club, or even golfing. Is that what you want? Isn't it liberals like yourselves who clamor about government staying out of issues such as free (and that includes private!) expression? A society where we are not allowed to do is a tyranny.

    Assuming we want UT to be a microcosm of society, why should we withhold constitutional rights from our students leaders?

    It's one thing for the Beacon to disagree with the Scarabs, but entirely another for it to want to snatch away their right to gather. If we at UT are unhappy with Scarab leaders, then we will vote them out, thank you! Whoever "caught the big one" by writing about this seems to be grabbing at thin air. Find something about the Scarabs we should be afraid of, then write a story. Until then, I myself am more afraid of the Beacon implementing its tyrannical partisanship upon our student body. Please don't propose to compromise our constitutional rights for the sake of a catchy headline!

    Secret campus group surfaces

    Nellann Young
    Editor

    Members of a long-rumored secret campus organization claim to support ideas for the betterment of the university and deny accusations of pushing their agenda onto other campus groups.

    The Scarabbean Society is comprised of such students as SGA President Will Carver and SGA Vice President Gealita Sylvester, past SGA election commissioners, past SGA presidents and vice presidents, current SGA executives, the Senior Gift Committee chair, Interfraternity Council president, a TeamVOLS leader and one varsity football player.

    The Scarabs include 15 to 20 active undergraduate members, although graduate students, faculty and staff members are also on the roster. Group members say the society meets in secret to discuss ideas, but makes no decisions affecting UT. Rumors circulating about the group have accused members of networking to accomplish their goals in secret.

    While Carver said the group has no power and only works for the betterment of UT, former SGA presidential candidate Travis Wright questioned the real motives of the society's secrecy. As a campus leader, Wright said when he was in opposition with the Scarabs he got "the distinct feeling that a decision had already been made and any issue that I might raise was irrelevant.

    "For me, it says that our elected leaders don't feel students are worthy of being brought to the table, that they are not respected and valued members of the community, and that their needs really aren't of concern to those in charge," Wright said.

    Not so, said Carver. The group doesn't make decisions and doesn't force ideas on others, he said.

    "The group is meant where we can meet together and talk," Carver said. "Scarabs have no power; that's not what they're about."

    Although some faculty and staff are in the group, student members would not identify them. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tim Rogers, the only administrator the Beacon spoke to about the Scarabs, said he joined the group a long time ago, but has "kept arms'-length" since then. However, he added, group members only work for the betterment of UT and have no ill motives.

    The fall 1998 issue of "The Pirate," obtained by the Beacon, lists members' names and states the society's purpose: "To be nameless in worthy deeds." Secrecy, Carver said, is important to the group so that it can serve as a forum where members don't grandstand and are open and honest without seeking credit for accomplishments.

    But Carver and other Scarabs can't defend the group with any more than vague assurances that the group does good things. That's because each member took an oath to keep the group secret when he or she was initiated. And each takes the oath very seriously.

    Representation in secret

    The third floor of the University Center has become a second home for elected student representatives Carver and Sylvester, as they have spent much of the year fighting Nashville for higher education funding and trying to get in touch with students.

    Their job on campus is to represent students, they said, and they can do that in secret as well as they do it in public.

    "I represent students at all times," Sylvester said. "I don't see why they wouldn't want me in the group because it is for the betterment of the university." Sylvester said she decided to run for vice president only after Carver asked her to be his running mate, and her candidacy had nothing to do with her affiliation with Scarabbeans.

    Along with Carver and Sylvester, Undergraduate Academic Council chair Christan Miller and Student Services Director Becky Sparks are also Scarabbean members. While the two were appointed by Carver to their SGA positions, they still hold great responsibilities of representing students.

    And they too believe they can represent in secret.

    "I represent the university and the best interests for her," Sparks said. "We are trying to honestly discuss what would be good for it. It's not like we say, 'Let's bring coffee makers, who cares if they want them.' That's not it."

    While Wright understands the mission of the Scarabbeans is to better the university, he questions how well the group can do that in secret.

    "Indeed it is my understanding that this is the mission of the organization," Wright said. "However, one must ask, betterment for whom and whose university?"

    Those thoughts were echoed by former Beacon editor and Scarab Frank Gibson, now the government editor at The Tennessean. Gibson was a member of the group in 1970-71, but became inactive after his reign as editor and hasn't kept up with the group since.

    In Gibson's era, the Scarabs were known as a senior men's honorary society that included most of the leadership of the university, including the SGA president and vice president, IFC president, heads of other organizations, other students, faculty and administrators.

    The stated reason for secrecy then was much like today's -- so everyone would be more forthcoming and wouldn't grandstand. The group had no powers, didn't take votes and didn't take official action on anything, but allowed members to brainstorm solutions to problems, Gibson said. In a secret setting where no one outside the group knows who is saying what to whom, it would be easier to get things accomplished, members reasoned.

    Thirty years later, Gibson said that philosophy doesn't hold true for society as a whole.

    "There's not room for that kind of secrecy in a democratic society," Gibson said. "If a group of people have powers over the welfare of other people, then it's not good to be there. What can the SGA do to affect students' lives? If SGA has power to affect or influence students' lives, then all that stuff needs to be done in public."

    The election

    Scarabbean membership can't boost students into leadership positions and it can't get them elected to SGA president, Carver said.

    While he admits the association of elected presidents and election commissioners raises questions of conflict of interest and might appear compromising, every election is run fairly and without bias to the group, he said.

    "My decision to run for president happened when I saw a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime role. I ran for office of student body president because I love the university," Carver said. "I went to the group and told them I was going to run for president a day before I announced. There was no compromise there." Melanie Wynn, 1999 SGA election commissioner, was the only member listed in the newsletter who denied her membership. However, Wynn is not is the only election commissioner named in the newsletter.

    Mark Jones, the 1998 commissioner, was listed, but has since left UT and could not be reached. Former SGA President Boyd Richards defended his and Jones' membership in the society, and said neither compromised the integrity of the SGA elections.

    The group "was simply a student organization -- therefore it is not different than the election commissioner and the candidate being in any other student organization together," Richards said. "Also, one must remember that there are five assistant commissioners which oversee all actions of the election." The election commissioner's primary role is to facilitate the logistics of the election, and all judgment calls are made by the Ethics Chair and the Ethics Committee, Richards added.

    Scarab member and 1997 election commissioner Mark Clark agreed with Richards, and said the election he presided over, between Scarabs (and eventual winners) James Kirkland and Tausha Carmack and non-Scarabs Travis Wright and Elizabeth Guenther, was fair.

    "The idea that someone could control an election is a bit absurd," Clark said. "I wouldn't do that. It goes against my values and it goes against that group's values."

    Since the election, 1997 vice presidential runner-up Elizabeth Guenther, now a senior, has gotten to know Clark, and doesn't believe any unethical activities took place during the election. But Clark's affiliation with the Scarabs put him in an "extremely awkward position," Guenther said.

    "From what I understand, the Scarabbean Society is more than a club for people of similar interests; it is much closer to a fraternity or sorority -- including secret initiation rituals and regular meetings," Guenther said. "Just as it would have been controversial to have had an election commissioner from the same fraternity or sorority as one of the candidates, being in Scarabbean together suggests a closeness that might have caused problems. Again, I do not for one minute doubt Mark Clark's (or James' and Tausha's) integrity in the situation, but the might is what we have to be careful of in the future."

    Members with a mission

    When student organizations began to grow on campus in 1915, leaders of the groups decided to form the Scarabbean Society to bring together student interests.

    The purpose, founders decided, was to use people as a sounding board.

    The first public glimpse of the Scarabs surfaced in 1916 when senior members' names were listed in The Volunteer yearbook. Then, the society was an all-male, all-white group.

    A copy of the 1919 Volunteer listed a short statement about the group:

    "The Scarabbean Senior Society is composed of those male members of the Senior Class who have manifested in an exceptional degree during their undergraduate career the qualities of dependable manhood, natural leadership, and active, intelligent loyalty to their Alma Mater."

    This year's group is much different from the first in 1915. Once a white male club, it now includes at least three minority students and a large percentage of women.

    Miller and Smith claim the group has evolved over the years. Evidence of the change is their affiliation with Scarabs, they said.

    The specific criteria to become a member is unknown because of the secrecy of the group and an oath of discretion members took when initiated. However, prospective members must get the unanimous support of student members and exhibit qualities of great love for UT, Carver said. Initiation is secret.

    While graduate students and faculty members are allowed to work with the group, many choose to remain inactive.

    Each year's active group has a leader, although the current leader, known as "Worthy Osiris," is unknown to those outside the group. Ralph Smith, current North Carrick Hall Director, was the 1998-99 leader and defended the group's members as student-focused individuals who want to help the campus.

    "They are the ones who start the bandwagon," Smith said.

    Although Smith and many of his fellow members were known as leaders on campus as students, a Scarab isn't always a usual suspect. Members range from football icon Peyton Manning and holder Benson Scott to UAC and Dance Marathon participant Caleb Riser and Orientation Leader and Alternative Spring Break co-director Bill Langston.

    While Carver, Sylvester, Sparks and Miller are Scarabs, Board of Trustees member Brandi Wilson is not. Neither are Graduate Student Association President Lyle Culver, SGA Historian Kristin Mills, City Council Liaison Leif Engstrom or SGA Secretary/treasurer Ryan Shelton.

    Wilson sees value in the idea of bouncing ideas off each other, as long as the group doesn't do things under the table. But if the group "does things to negatively affect campus" or makes "decisions that are against what the student body wants," then she has a great problem with the group's existence, she said.

    A continuing tradition

    While the Scarabbean society will mark 85 years in 2000, there are no signs that it has weakened over the years.

    However, it is still unclear what specific goals have been accomplished by the Scarabbean society since its beginning in 1915. If the university community knew what Scarabs had done, their purpose, "to be nameless in worthy deeds," wouldn't be fulfilled, they claim.

    "The student organization which is in question is just that -- a normal student organization," Richards said. "The only difference is that it is not public knowledge to many people. The reason for this is simple -- a group of students have formed an organization whose goal is to make UT a better place for students, and they don't desire credit for their actions."

    For those reasons, Sylvester hopes the group can still operate in secret after its existence is reported.

    "I believe it has to be secret," Sylvester said. "Even if members are disclosed, it still will work secretly. It's not the credit we want to get, and it's terrible the group gets chastised."

    As Wright sees it, a secret Scarabbean society has no place on campus, because "good things never happen in dark places." Moreover, he argued, if the society is so proud of its efforts, "why has it chosen to hide its face for so long -- and who has been excluded?"

    The system of Scarabs keeps others in the dark, Wright said. And for that reason, the society will never be for the betterment of UT.

    "The University of Tennessee proudly proclaims that its mission is to produce leaders who shadoweth oneself to give light to others," Wright added. "Ironically, we secretly bless and cultivate a system which systematically keeps most students in the dark."

    Raves & Queries

    BRENT CONKLIN
    Editor In Chief

    Kudos to the Student Government Association Student Senate for passing a parking bill on Tuesday that will (if the UT administration approves) revamp parking practices on campus.

    However, two occurrences during the presentation of and voting on the bill piqued our interest:

    The lack of debate -- For the past month, Fort Sanders Sen. Jamie Pizzirusso's parking bill has been a key item of discussion on the SGA online discussion page. Students voiced their opinions and their disfavor with the original bill, which would have banned freshmen parking completely, with specific exceptions. It proved to be an important subject that people at our University deemed necessary to discuss and contemplate.

    Pizzirusso then reworked his bill, using some of the suggestions rendered to him. The bill would accomplish the following:

    -- Reduce the number of parking permits sold by 10 percent

    -- Recommend a price increase on permits to make up for the funds lost by the reduction of permits sold

    -- Give upperclassmen the right to buy permits first

    -- Create a new permit classification for carpoolers

    -- Encourage Parking Services and the city of Knoxville to work together to institute more bicycle lanes.

    This revised version of the bill was reported by the Beacon on Monday, and as quick as one could say 'Scarab,' there was a Letter to the Editor on Tuesday questioning the proposal.

    So why -- after weeks and weeks of discussion, debate and even dissent on the issue -- did the Pizzirusso proposal pass without a whimper? Did our senators just not deem it worthy enough to discuss and make it absolutely perfect? Or were they just sick and tired and ready get the subject of parking out of their hair?

    Whatever the reason, it doesn't make sense not to discuss an issue as important as campus parking, which effects the entire tudent population (the Senate's constituents) before passing a bill on it.

    14 abstentions -- The proposal passed by a vote of 34 for, four against with 14 abstentions. We would be curious to know the reasons why those abstaining did as they did. This certainly wasn't an issue to take lightly and as we stated above, the weeks of debate on the subject served to show us (and our senators) just that.

    Both SGA President James Kirkland and Vice President Tausha Carmack were unavailable on Wednesday for comment on these issues.

    Reflections leave readers food for thought

    SANJAY S. RAJPUT
    Senior, Mechanical Engineering

    "Are you retired too?"

    "Not me, I'm in my prime."

    -- Doc Holiday

    What does this week's quote have to do with my column? Absolutely nothing; I just think it is a really cool quote from one of the greatest films I have ever seen (Tombstone).

    A lot of the time I have ideas for columns that just don't quite make the cut. They are more like fleeting interesting thoughts that I want to pass along. So here are just a few passing observations I have been wanting to make to clear out the clutter in my mind:

    I have listened to rap music all of my life and can say with complete confidence that Tupac Amaru Shakur was the greatest rap artist ever. I miss him.

    East Coast rap is OK, but West Coast rap is much better.

    Yes, I am a card-carrying member of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

    Am I the only one who is having a hard time deciding which version of "How Do I Live" is better? At first I thought the Leann Rimes version was the best, but now I kind of think the Trisha Yearwood version is better.

    Attention Steven Segal: Please stop making those stupid environmentalist action movies. You make action movie lovers AND environmentalists look bad. Please go back to making good mindless action movies like Marked for Death.

    The most interesting thing I have ever heard about the death penalty was from Gov. George Pataki: "The death penalty has saved countless lives." Anyone who supports state-sanctioned murder should see Dead Man Walking.

    I long for the day that Binky the Hepcat Alien finds the perfect martini he has been searching for. Search on, Binky!

    Attention Lorne Michaels: Saturday Night Live sucks.

    All my life I have heard conservatives complain about the liberal media. OK geniuses, think about this for a second. Most of the people in the media (Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson, Peter Jennings, etc.) get paid big bucks to do their jobs. Most liberals are in favor of high taxes on the rich. So by displaying an overt liberal bias, wouldn't these people in the media be shooting themselves in the foot by promoting higher taxes on themselves?

    Jimmy Duncan is a horrible congressman who ignores his liberal constituents.

    Attention Spice Girls: Your 15 minutes of fame is up. Please disband and never speak to each other ever again.

    Say what you want about Dennis Rodman, but he is the best rebounder the NBA has ever seen. His first two books were pretty funny, too.

    I want to make something abundantly clear to all the anonymous idiots posting on the SGA online-discussion page. I, SANJAY

    S. RAJPUT, NEVER HAVE BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE A MEMBER OF THE SECRET SENIOR SCARABBEAN SOCIETY! My middle initial does not stand for Scarab.

    Al Franken was right; Rush Limbaugh IS a big fat idiot.

    Contrary to popular opinion David Tipton is NOT a big fat idiot. That does not mean he is a skinny little idiot either. He is just politically misled.

    If you go through life without seeing The Godfather, Highlander and Tombstone I feel real sorry for you.

    I love seeing bumper stickers that say "Is it 1996 yet?"

    Affirmative action works.

    Conservatives love to talk about how much people who are on welfare or who are poor are that way by choice. Just once I want to see a conservative go into a homeless shelter and tell one of the people in there that they want to be there!

    Hi Lisa Kammerud, Adrienne Parker, Matt Helmes, Lauren Duncan, Tia Foster, Pete Cummings, William Shatner, Paula Quinley, Vanessa Stevens and Sam Quinn. I love shameless name dropping.

    Speaking of Sam Quinn, he is easily the best Beacon columnist. His literary magazine Emergence should be coming out soon, so grab a copy. As added incentive, my famous Tupac Amaru Shakur tribute column is included in the first issue of Emergence.

    Anyone who thinks that Picard is a better captain than Kirk needs help. Sisko is far superior to Picard, but he is still a far cry from Kirk, and Janeway just plain sucks. I imagine I will get more mail on this subject than anything I have ever written.

    NWO for LIFE!

    I have always hated Disney movies. In reality, Belle would have left the Beast and married Gaston. Think about it, would you marry someone who looks like a buffalo and has talking dishes?!!? The poor beast would have died broken-hearted and alone.

    I have come to the following conclusion about UFO debunkers. They absolutely refuse to believe in extraterrestrial life. A UFO could land in front of Clay Venable's house, and an alien could come and shake his hand; Clay would claim he was seeing things.

    OK, I was just as sad as everyone else when Princess Diana died, but if I hear Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" remix again, I am going to vomit.

    Before you sit down to dinner over the holidays remember this: it was not too long after the first Thanksgiving that we stuck the Native Americans on reservations and stole all of their land.

    Bon Appetit.

    'News' story insults journalism, history

    Scott Hazle
    Graduate student, English

    The Beacon's coverage of the "discovery" of the Scarab society on Monday was interesting for several reasons. First, it lacked journalistic integrity -- the "news" story was essentially a condeemnation of the group by a non-member (which your editorial then repeated). Second, you assume ill-conduct by the group, allegations which you cannot prove. Finally, though, both articles missed the point.

    Other secret societies have included the Bolsheviks of Lenin and Trotsky; patriotic gatherings prior to the French Revolution; the Dead Poets' Society; the Knights Templar, rumored to protect the Ark of the Covenant; and our country's forefathers, planning the Boston Tea Party and writing the Declaration of Independence. In short, secret societies have historically been gatherings of people of action -- those who, unable to reform the system from within, seek alternative avenues of change. These societies gather in the spirit of Romanticism, and in the tradition of the American Revolution, suffrage and the civil rights movement.

    I don't know what the Scarabs do, either; I do know, however, that much on this campus needs to be changed, and state-erected barriers of red tape are notoriously hard to break through.

    Until the Scarabs prove themselves worthy of your suspicions, you would do well to give them the benefit of the doubt. Your objections seem raised more by jealousy and indignation than any tangible problem with the group itself.

    Hellfire and damnation top scarabs in campus poll

    Beau Howard
    Senior in College Scholar

    University of Tennessee students are violently close to caring about what goes on around them lately after the scandalous outing of the UT Scarabbean Secret Society, which refuses to acknowledge what it has not been doing in the confines of its secret underground lair.

    The group does nothing and has no agenda, said SGA president and evil Scarab Will Carver, but many think this just makes them more dangerous.

    "We've got to stop this non-group from forcing its non-agenda on the students, which it has been doing for years by pretending not to exist," screamed one of those campus radicals you probably don't know at one of those political rallies you probably didn't hear about.

    "I for one will not stand for this! I voted in the SGA election, and I demand to know what every student on campus is doing all of the time!!! Democracy has no room for secret handshakes and weird bug logos!"

    The crowd of twelve that had rallied around the rabble-rouser applauded vehemently but briefly as they left to join a larger crowd by the library where area street-corner preacher Brother Jed Smock had once again brought his message of universal eternal damnation and condemnation of all girls, who he refers to as "whores."

    The unknown rallier couldn't believe the protesters were leaving. "How can you care about your souls when there are people on this campus doing nothing and not telling you anything about it? You completely have no idea about what's not going on! THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!!" the rejected revolutionary screamed before putting his head down and slouching towards a coffee shop mumbling, "I need a double latte with lots of sugar."

    Later, Brother Smock commented on the lack of interest in the Scarabs.

    "I just don't think you can get people excited about not hearing that nothing was going on right behind their backs. You need something more palatable," Smock said. "Tell people they're going to Hell and you'll get some interest. Have your lunatic wife dance around and sing about the lake of fire, and well ... that's damn near laughable. People will stick around for that."

    Later Smock added, "Look, if you really want to know what those bugs do when they're by themselves, just stand on the street corner and accuse them of masturbating to gay porn in front of their peers. I do that to people all the time, and for some reason they just start yelling at me about every sin they actually have committed. Seems counterintuitive, but, I dunno ... it works."

    But then there are some on campus who say they don't really want to know about it when the Scarabs don't do anything that's on their non-agenda. Some, like sophomore Mandy Anderson, may even find it refreshing to be purposefully excluded from the inner workings of this zero-power non-organization that has been using stealthy high-power connections to accomplish nothing for so long.

    "I don't see how this is supposed to affect me," Anderson said. "While they're locked with a handful of musty old men in a tiny little room in the dark speaking in code about what they don't have the power to do, the rest of us are outside throwing the frisbee and stuff."

    "Seems like they're missing out on the real secret society ... the one made of people who don't get tied down to grumpy old administrators whose state funding keeps getting cut by the state because they can't spend it responsibly," Anderson said.

    And then there are other students who just downright love the idea of the Scarabbean society.

    "This thing is great," junior Andy Smelter said. "You know, there has been another group on campus that has also been doing nothing for as long as I've been here, and they call themselves the SGA. The only problem is, SGA members are always bothering students about what they're not doing. Stories in the Beacon, town meetings in the cafeterias, elections in our academic buildings -- you know? I think I rather like the way the Scarabs get nothing done better."

    But perhaps Mr. Smelter wouldn't be so quick to praise the Scarabs' non-action if he knew the whole story. It's what the Scarabs actually do that causes problems.

    For instance, after last Tuesday's SGA questioning of the Scarabs, I followed Carver to a little room full of candles and pentagrams, where he picked up a red telephone and said, "Dark Beetle, this is Flaming Fox. Drop the incendiaries on Mr. Vissotto's apartment. HAHAHAHAHA ha ha ha. ..."

    Nothing much matters when time ends in 2000

    Richard Brame

    I hate potpourri, but I have one column left this semester and several matters requiring attention before the impending Millennium (or Armageddon). I will proceed from the serious matters to those I (pretend to) joke about.

    Attention must be drawn to the recent allegations in Los Angeles that a company making UT clothing has been forcing its workers to produce under sweatshop conditions. This affects all UT students and everyone wearing UT gear. Recently in this space I challenged President Gilley to bring UT into the Worker Rights Consortium, a student-led organization dedicated to ensuring university apparel is produced under fair working conditions - that companies producing UT clothing in sweatshops be forced to clean up their act. These allegations in L.A. directly implicate UT, so that challenge now rises to paramount importance. So I will ask again: President Gilley, what are you wearing? Will UT join the Worker Rights Consortium?

    Moving on, we should applaud UT students and others who participated in the recent World Trade Organization protests in Seattle and across the country. Whether their demonstrations were responsible or not, the defeat of the WTO initiative to expand "free" trade is welcomed. My objection to the WTO rests on my support of trade that is genuinely free, which entails economic actors of relatively equal strength eliminating provincial interests that restrict growth. The WTO is an undemocratic organization promoting the interests of large, multinational corporations over the other sectors of society. The WTO acts contrary to any notion of democracy and egalitarianism. The dark side of the protests was that several of the groups protesting did so on the basis of economic nationalism. The strange alliance between part of the left and Pat Buchanan is frightening.

    Proceeding now to something interesting, where will you be on Dec. 31, 1999? As any intelligent reader of the Bible knows, it doesn't matter, because the next day is the End-time. According to my inside sources, you, like me, will probably go to hell. If I understand correctly, this is not good and indeed not something to joke about. Still I can't help myself. And if the end must come, I'm at least going to throw a "on the way down there" party for anyone ready to embrace the end.

    In other news, in a recent revelation that has shocked our community, it has been discovered that there are men and women controlling our lives without our knowledge and without our permission. They sometimes deny their existence, sometimes begrudgingly admit it to certain people. Often in positions of power and always adept with resume software, they consistently refuse to give out details of their devious plots.

    You thought I was talking about the Scarabs, right? Goodness, no. They have no power. They are pawns. We shouldn't hate them because they probably don't realize they are tools of the administration. But we can criticize them because they are anti-democratic and pity them because they take themselves seriously. And then we should spend the rest of this column worrying about real problems.

    I am talking about the Syndicate: the Cigarette Smoking Man, the Well-Mannered Man, and that fat guy. You know what I'm talking about if, like me, you want to believe. Or maybe you're an X-virgin instead of an X-phile. Allow me to initiate you. There is as we speak a global conspiracy, with key players at the highest levels of power, attempting to prepare the Earth for the coming colonization by aliens that will use our bodies as hosts for their life force, which for some reason is Black Oil. The Syndicate seeks to save itself at the expense of mankind, stopping at nothing to develop their sinister plot.

    If any of this is disturbing you, fear not. As I mentioned above, the End-time is at hand. Before the Syndicate even has occasion to unleash Armageddon, it will come to them. Even if God herself does not come to do it, plenty of cults and millennarians have been preparing to do the job themselves - according to a recent FBI report (which, unlike much of this column, I am not making up), hundreds of groups in the U.S. have been stockpiling weapons. And if you still aren't ready to join my party, just think about the tens of thousands of Russian nuclear weapons unaccounted for and probably pointed at Oak Ridge.

    What does all of this mean? I have no idea. But with the End-time at hand, I have decided I might as well admit that I am indeed a Scarab, one of those very persons I have here mocked. We really are lame, and I feel bad - not so much for the secrecy or lying to the public, but I really feel bad about all those SGA elections we've rigged in the last few years (remember that if any of my fellow Bugs deny this they are breaking their oath of silence, proving they are liars).

    See you next year (?)

    Scarabs act as puppets to administration

    SANJAY S. RAJPUT
    Senior, Mechanical Engineering

    "I know there is a terrible conspiracy going on in the world right now. ... The world has a right to know the truth."
    -- Jack Ruby

    I imagine that being in a secret society would be pretty fun. It is probably like something right out of a Tom Clancy novel or James Bond movie. Secret handshakes, foreign intrigue and shady underhanded deals. Yeah, that all sounds like a blast. But you see, that is all fiction and I seriously doubt that any real secret societies are really that cool. In reality, I bet that members of these societies are just insecure little boys and girls who get their kicks by schmoozing with powerful people and acting like they are running things. And wouldn't you know it, we have our own little group of insecure people just like this right here at the University of Tennessee!

    By now I am sure you have heard of the Scarabbean Senior Society. Yes, it does exist; for concrete (pun intended) proof go check out its brick over at the Torchbearer statue on Vic Davis Plaza. Depending on who you ask, the Scarabs are either a harmless curiosity or a band of dangerous elitists. I could give a long drawn out Scarabbean history, but I won't. If that is what you want, read the Student Government Association (SGA) online-discussion page or check out.

    In short, the Scarabbeans are little more than administration drones. Some high-powered University administrator types probably handpicked some sophomore SGA senators and fed them a line of bull about how they were going to become part of some ancient secret society that has been protecting student interests since UT was founded. But just being in a secret society is never enough. If I was so inclined, I could start the Secret Society of East Tennessee Collegiate Mechanical Engineering Political Columnists. I would be the only member (membership would double if I called it the Secret Society of East Tennessee Collegiate Engineering Political Columnists) but that is beside the point. My society would be secret, but unimportant.

    A successful secret society needs to have some sense of importance. Let's get back to our mysterious Scarabbean Senior Society. Now that these powerful administration types have hand picked these willing dimwits for this organization, they have to convince them that their membership in it is for the greater good. So the administration convinces these saps that the campus population does not know what is good for them. The Scarabbeans are led to believe that they know what is good for the campus (so long as it does not conflict with what the administration wants) and it is their responsibility to protect the campus population from itself as well as any dangerous subversives. These naive students are groomed to fill powerful positions on campus. They have no will of their own and they only know what they are told.

    Also, having a secret society is a great fail-safe. Think about it for just a second. Let's say you screw up royally, blame it on the Scarabbeans! That is why this not-so-secret secret society keeps popping up. College students love a good conspiracy story. The X-Files, the Kennedy assassination, the CIA -- we just cannot get enough of this stuff. The powers that be know this! If students are fed up with technology fees or tuition increases, just get them talking about Scarabbeans. That ought to placate them for awhile.

    Then there is what I like to call the Superman/Lex Luthor (or Batman/Joker) theory of secret societies. Who are Superman and Batman without their respective villains? Just a couple of goofy costumed characters with some serious psychological problems. Now apply this theory to the Scarabbeans and UT. The Scarabbeans are like some kind of evil version of SGA. All this discussion of Scarabbean nonsense started on the SGA discussion homepage. Besides, having to work against the administration is hard enough, throw in the Scarabbeans and you have a real reason why SGA has such a hard time getting controversial things through to the administration.

    So it ends up being a two-way street. Administration has a bone to throw the masses if things get too heated. SGA senators who cannot get anything done have someone to blame when things don't go their way. And what about the drones in these secret societies? Maybe along the way they learn how to take orders so well that they end up in some "powerful" position somewhere. Of course it is probably the same kind of position that they held in their old secret society. They are just mouthpieces doing the dirty work for the people pulling the strings.

    Finally, everything I know about this secret society (or any other secret society for that matter) comes from speculations I have made after reading numerous postings on the Internet. Of course since none of these mysterious individuals has come forward to dispute anything anyone has said about them, I assume it must all be true.


    Self-importance

    Editorial

    You may or may not have heard rumors before about some secret society that runs the UT campus.

    No longer is the existence of a secret society on campus just a rumor. The Scarabbean Senior Society is very real and very much alive.

    Unfortunately, that's about all we know about the secret group. The Beacon has contacted a majority of active Scarabs, but they aren't saying much. Most simply admit to being members and claim that "the group is a good group, and we work for the betterment of the university."

    However, from those who did talk, we're getting a lot of mixed messages.

    SGA President and Scarab Will Carver says that the group doesn't have any power. Then he says that they work for the betterment of UT.

    In fact, the motto of the group is "To be nameless in worthy deeds."

    Our question is, how can one "better the university" or do "worthy deeds" without power?

    The answer is this: the Scarabbean Senior Society does not have power; its members do.

    Among the Scarab ranks are the current SGA president and vice president, the director of student services, UAC chair, Interfraternity Council president, senior gift committee chair and SGA diversity affairs director, as well as orientation leaders, Vol ambassadors and members of various other campus organizations.

    People in these positions have power, whether it is the power to influence student legislation, the power to influence groups of students or the power to select students for membership or leadership positions.

    We don't believe for one second that the Scarabs separate their other positions on campus from the group or that they are not influenced by what is discussed in their meetings.

    In fact, the issue of the Scarabbean newsletter, "The Pirate," obtained by the Beacon, contains articles written by "comrades" who are involved in campus organizations. In a call for alumni donations, the newsletter states, "Gifts of any monetary value are greatly appreciated and will help us to maintain a high level of campus activity."

    We think that speaks for itself.

    One reason the society is secret, according to Carver, is so it can serve as a forum where members don't grandstand and are open and honest.

    Wait a minute -- open and honest? We hope that our student leaders are open and honest on a regular basis. We would like to believe that open forums such as Senate and UAC meetings would provide student leaders the opportunity to be open and honest. We need people in leadership who are not afraid to say what they honestly think. People who act in secret are weak. We need leaders who are strong.

    So, while the Scarabs are being open and honest in their meetings, they also claim to be representing students.

    Since when did the students ask to be represented in secret meetings?

    SGA Vice President Gealita Sylvester said that she represents students at all times, and went so far as to say that she doesn't see why students wouldn't want her in a group that was for betterment of the university.

    If she doesn't see that, she must be blind. There are plenty of reasons why students wouldn't want their elected officials to be members of a secret group.

    If a group meets in secret, claiming to represent students at the same time, how do students know that their best interests are being represented? How do we know that their idea of "betterment" and "worthy deeds" is the same as the average student's?

    And how can it even be said that the group is for the "betterment of the university"? The term "betterment" is subjective -- while one person may think that adding the sexual-orientation clause to Hilltopics is "betterment," someone else may disagree.

    We wonder who made the Scarabs' ideas of "betterment" better than anyone else's. The simple fact is, the Scarabs are too self-important to care. They love the university more than anyone and they know more than anyone what is good for the university.

    We are disappointed in the members of the Scarabbean Senior Society. We do not feel sorry for them in any of the consequences, public or private, that they may have to pay for their membership. Students will now wonder when Scarabs propose bills, when they sit on selection committees and when they make suggestions, whether they are acting as students or as Scarabs. "Comrades" should have thought about their friends, co-workers and constituents when they took their Scarabbean oaths.

    But sometimes, feeling self-important is more important than anything else.

    Power groups add to student apathy

    Jarod D. Scott
    Senior in finance

    I find it disturbing that what has been rumored to me for the past three years of my academic career has come to be a reality. Can an organization be more aristocratic and tyrannical than the Scarabs? The possibility of fraudulent actions concerning SGA elections totally demoralizes student participation. The resulting suppression of student ideas by those same fraudulently elected student leaders and an administration who looks to its own interests while ignoring student concerns is truly a cancer from which this campus suffers.

    The possibility of a fixed election, regardless of claims otherwise, has become apparent. Considering the leaders of the computerized elections are admittedly secretive Scarabs, we must question the honesty of this process. Perhaps it is best that a private OUTSIDE organization is hired to administer future elections.

    Middle Tennessee State University has already implemented such a system for similar reasons. I am making no claim as to whether or not these current officials have been acting corruptly, but the opportunity is readily attractive.

    After participating in elections in North Carrick for Senate I began to feel the pain of student apathy. It arose from a feeling that they, the students, were not powerful enough to make change. The size of our SGA simply allows for quiet manipulation by small groups through the use of parliamentary procedure and multiple alleys of Red Tape. This allows for easy manipulation from a group like the Scarabs, and I feel that a return to the democracy our nation was founded on is immediately necessary.

    As a senior, my claims to the future are limited, but those who are underclassmen will be singed by the very torch meant to light our way. Action must be taken NOW! This should involve both students on campus and any media outlets such as our Daily Beacon. We must look into a system similar to that of a small city, as such UT represents. A huge political infrastructure wastes our students' time and money. I also believe that as students we should reclaim control of the student activities fund and administer this through a full time employee of the student government -- who would be hired and fired on contract by the SGA.

    I feel this is necessary for our students voices to be heard. These plans will be expanded upon by a group to be named at a future time.

    Society distrusts secret power groups

    Gary M. King
    Treasurer, Party of Darkness

    Jay McQueen's letter from Tuesday needed a nice healthy dose of logic. He seems to forget several key issues in calling the Scarabs being unveiled as not "real news."

    Although I do agree that the tax situation is a pressing affair, the ag bridge is, unfortunately, a done affair. The students said "no" in overwhelming numbers and we lost to the state's decision. End of story; fade to black. We can keep voicing our disdain, but it will not affect the outcome that has already been decided.

    Now, addressing the tenure and budget issues, we are confronted with the fact that until we see which tax plan is put into effect, everything is speculation.

    Obviously we should prepare for the worst and hope for the best, but nothing changes that fact. So if nothing has been decided on for that issue, there is no "real news" to report.

    As for the massive student turnover rate, that is another real issue but that has been for several years and has gotten almost no press. Why suddenly bring it up except to try to take attention off of an issue that does directly affect the students; namely, the existence of secret society consisting of many of our supposed "student leaders"? Why the quotation marks? Because I have been drawn to seriously question whether I can follow them and thus be "led" as a student. My faith is dead.

    Though (the group) claims to have the best interests of campus at heart, nothing changes the general mistrust within the populace of a democratic nation towards leaders belonging to secret societies. We held elections back in the spring to decide who would give the students' desires to the administration in the form of "bills" in our SGA. There were no elections for a group who, while claiming to have no ability to pass policy, is nevertheless extremely influential due to the number of members who do make policy. Again, this is anathema to what is supposed to have been a democratic election in a democratic society. Thus, it seems that when 38.4 percent of the voting population on campus decided in favor of the referendum to dissolve the SGA last spring, they knew something then we now know as fact. The SGA could have no power; someone else could be pulling the strings like a master puppeteer.

    To quote Gealita Sylvester, "I don't see why they wouldn't let me in the group because it is for the betterment of the university." Well then, why am I or any of my friends not in the group? After all, we are also interested in the betterment of the university. The key must lie in Boyd Richards' statement that the group "was simply a student organization." I get it. I must not meet the criteria of joining. However, as a student organization, the group must have a faculty adviser and a written constitution on file. I would like to see that document to properly make sure that I nor anyone I know is not being discriminated against over joining such an obviously fine and upstanding organization that it has to meet in secret.

    Egyptian culture at Brown Bag

    JULIE MILLS
    Daily Beacon Student Life Editor

    The McClung Museum trimmed a unique Christmas tree for this year's holiday season.

    The first ever ancient Egyptian Christmas tree is on display in the museum. The decorations represent objects, signs and symbols that were sacred to the ancient Egyptians.

    "[The decorations] were an integral part of the religious beliefs of a remarkable civilization that lived in the Nile Valley several thousand years before the Christian era," said Elaine Evans, McClung Museum curator.

    In conjunction with the Egyptian Christmas tree, Evans will speak at a Brown Bag Lunch Lecture entitled "Scarabs, Shawabtis and Spells in Ancient Egypt" at 12:15 p.m. today at McClung Museum.

    Evans will present a lecture and slide show which will highlight the development of various ancient Egyptian objects.

    The ankh-sign, which tops the tree, symbolized life and new birth. Considered the most important of the Egyptian charms, the signs are associated with eternal life.

    The scarab, a large beetle common to Egypt, was sacred to the sun god known as Khepera.

    "In his form of a rising sun Khepera represented a type of resurrection to the ancient Egyptians," Evans said.

    The winged-scarab, which was placed on the chests of mummies as a funeral charm, was also associated with the sun god.

    "It's outstretched wings symbolized the solar falcon god, Horus, combining the power of two gods," Evans said.

    Mummy beads are hung as garland on the museum's Christmas tree. The tube-like beads, which were made out of blue faience, were traditionally placed by the Egyptians around the neck of mummies.

    Hieroglyphic signs, which were used by the Egyptians for writing, also cover the tree. According to Evans, the signs were interpreted incorrectly prior to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799.

    The shawabti and the sacred eye were two different charms associated with Egyptians. The shawabti, a small statue which was in the form of a mummy, was placed in tombs.

    "The Egyptians believed [the statues] would become life-size in the next world," Evans said.

    The shawabti were intended to serve as servants, doing any work the mummy might have to do in the afterlife. The sacred eye, like the shawabti, was worn by the mummy in order to chase away bad influences. The eye represented that of the sun god, Re, and meant "the sound one." The eye was also worn by the ancient Egyptians in life.

    The cartouche, an elongated rope form, was used by the Egyptians to represent the name of the king. According to Evans, the Egyptians believed that the cartouche "granted universal power and protection."

    Everyone is invited to attend the program. There is no cost.


    Senators seek to question Scarabs

    Dorie Turner
    Staff Writer

    Members of the Scarabbean Society who hold offices in SGA may have to publicly answer questions about the society after tonight's SGA Senate meeting.

    Commuter Sen. Henrique Vissotto will present a bill concerning the secrecy of the Scarabs that, if passed, will allow all members of the Senate to ask questions about the society.

    "We want to know if there are unethical things going on," Vissotto said. "If they are just meeting, then that's OK. But if it is unethical, then no." According to the legislation, the secret meeting of elected officials is a direct violation of the Tennessee Sunshine Laws, which require that the public have knowledge of all meetings of public officials.

    SGA City Council Liaison Leif Engstrom, who helped the Brazilian Vissotto with the wording of the bill, said he feels the Scarabs have made their credibility questionable by being in a secret society and must answer questions in order to regain the trust of their constituents.

    "The members of SGA were not elected to represent the university or the administration. We were elected to represent the interests of the student body, both within and outside the university," Engstrom said. "We owe our primary loyalty to our constituents. Because of their secret associations, the Scarabs' loyalty is now in question."

    Vissotto said he wrote the bill because he felt the need for a public discussion of the society and wanted all senators to have a chance to ask questions in a public arena.

    Vissotto added that he also felt the students should have an opportunity to ask questions of their elected officials and encouraged all students to talk to their senators if they have any questions for the Scarabs.

    "I've never seen so many letters to the editor in the Beacon. I think that the students are very concerned. They are upset that a lot of people are Scarabs," Vissotto said.

    Vissotto is also scheduled to present legislation requiring senators to write reports on a bill's progress until that bill has been executed. According to the bill, the "senate will look better if we have a report of the bills during the course of the year."

    Other legislation to be presented include bills to thank Chancellor Bill Snyder for his service at UT, to require that funding literature be sent out in Vol Xpress Statements and to change the information available on the UT Internet directory. SGA Senate meets at 5:30 tonight in the Shiloh Room of the University Center.

    The Bugzilla Guide

    Chapter 7. Bugzilla Variants and Competitors

    7.4. Scarab

    Scarab is a promising new bug-tracking system built using Java Serlet technology. As of this writing, no source code has been released as a package, but you can obtain the code from CVS.

    http://scarab.tigris.org

    1.1. Purpose and Scope of this Guide

    This document was started on September 17, 2000 by Matthew P. Barnson after a great deal of procrastination updating the Bugzilla FAQ, which I left untouched for nearly half a year. After numerous complete rewrites and reformatting, it is the document you see today. Bugzilla is simply the best piece of bug-tracking software the world has ever seen. This document is intended to be the comprehensive guide to the installation, administration, maintenance, and use of the Bugzilla bug-tracking system.

    2.1. What is Bugzilla?

    Bugzilla is one example of a class of programs called "Defect Tracking Systems", or, more commonly, "Bug-Tracking Systems". Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. Bugzilla was originally written by Terry Weissman in a programming language called "TCL", to replace a crappy bug-tracking database used internally for Netscape Communications. Terry later ported Bugzilla to Perl from TCL, and in Perl it remains to this day. Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors at the time charged enormous licensing fees, and Bugzilla quickly became a favorite of the open-source crowd (with its genesis in the open-source browser project, Mozilla). It is now the de-facto standard defect-tracking system against which all others are measured.

    Tucker (Fitzgerald),

    Founder

    Wesleyan Female College as it was in 1851, with the Adelphean Room (the room in which we were founded) marked with the "X."

    Alpha Delta Pi was founded in 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, dreamed up as an idea of one of our founders, Eugenia Tucker (Fitzgerald). We hold the distinction of being the FIRST secret society in the world for college women. As the mother of today's sorority system, it is only fitting that our founding took place at the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women. Our original name was the "Adelphean Society." (Adelphean is derived from the Greek word meaning sister.)

    Our name changed to Alpha Delta Phi in 1905 when the sorority went national; because of continued confusion with a men's fraternity of the same name, however, it was changed for the last time to Alpha Delta Pi in 1913. We take much pride in the fact that the principles and Ritual of Alpha Delta Pi are the same as that of our founders in 1851. The qualifications for membership in this sorority have remained unchanged through the years: scholarship, high principles of behavior, and true friendships.

    There are over 170,000 initiated members of Alpha Delta Pi worldwide, and more than 130 collegiate chapters of our sorority. Membership in Alpha Delta Pi is truly for a lifetime--alumnae stay active through the many ADP Alumni Associations across the nation.

    ANCIENT EGYPT

    THE SACRED SCARAB

    ...thus I evolved myself under the evolutions of the god Khepri....
    - Papyrus of Nesiamsu (Ptolemaic Period)

    By far the most important amulet in ancient Egypt was the scarab, symbolically as sacred to the Egyptians as the cross is to Christians. Scarabs were already known in the Old Kingdom, and in the First Intermediate Period the undersides were decorated. They were probably sacred in the Prehistoric Period and had a role in the early worship of animals, judging from the actual beetles that were found stored in jars buried with the deceased and from those found in graves during the time of King Den of Dynasty I. A scaraboid-shaped alabaster box from Tarkhan seems to confirm that the scarab was already venerated at the beginning of Dynasty I. Scarabs are the most numerous amulets and were produced well beyond the dynastic periods.

    TYPES OF SCARABS

    Among the kinds of scarabs are: ornamental scarabs, heart scarabs, winged scarabs, scarabs with the name of a king or queen, marriage scarabs, lion hunt scarabs, commemorative scarabs, scarabs with good wishes and mottos, scarabs with symbols of unknown meaning, and scarabs decorated with figures and animals.

    Most of the scarabs in these categories were probably used as seals, as proven by impressed clay fragments.

    ORNAMENTATION

    The underside of the abdomen, or flat side, of the scarabs was usually inscribed with the names of pharaohs and officials, private names, magical mottos, formulae, volute designs and other patterns, images of deities, sacred animals, and religious symbols.

    Scarabs were used by both the rich and the poor.

    For the average Egyptian a simple message was provided on the scarab with no rhetoric:

    A concise simple good wish, such as: "(May) Amun (grant) a good new year"

    A name, such as: "The Lady Y-ab,"

    A motto, such as: "Firm of heart"

    A summary of their personal religious feelings in a magical prayer, such as: "Amun is strength."

    The king, noble, or official might even have a lengthy inscription, such as: "Beloved of Re, Prince of Truth, Beloved by Amun, Horemhab."

    An uninscribed scarab was probably just as sacred in the belief in its strong influences.

    In many instances scarabs are valuable for the historic information they provide, such as in the narrative type, commemorative scarabs. The Lion Hunt and Marriage scarabs of Amenophis III relates events during his reign.

    Nor did the power of the amulet go unnoticed outside Egypt's borders. Numerous scarabs have been found in Palestine and other areas of the Near East, Spain, Italy, Sardinia, Greece and elsewhere, verifying the spread of Egyptian religious beliefs way beyond its borders. Most of these scarabs seem to have been accumulated as a result of contact from war and conquest, administration or trade, or through diplomatic relations.

    USE

    In one form, scarabs were a cheap and common form of "charm" which everyone could afford and easily wear strung on a cord on their person. Most scarabs were made for the living. The small magical object was believed imbued with particualar protective powers that warded off evil and provided good things for the owner for this life and also for the next, particularly when sewn to mummy wrappings. This was especially true when worn as a heart scarab or winged scarab to provide a safe journey into the Afterworld of the gods.

    Jewelry in the form of pendants, bracelets, and necklaces prominently featured scarabs of various sizes and were all believed to possess amuletic properties. By the Middle Kingdom, scarabs were being worn on the finger mounted as a ring, or threaded with a cord for the finger. Numerous impressions on clay, bearing the names of royal and non-royal names, animal figures, and decorative motifs found on letters, documents, and containers attest to scarabs having been primarily used as seals.

    Although scarabs are known from the earliest periods, it is in the 12th dynasty that their use as seals became common. The great majority of the thousands of scarab seals were quite small, generally measuring around three-quarters of an inch long by half-an-inch wide and about a quarter of an inch high. The name of a particular person, king, or official title was inscribed on their flat bases to ensure protective powers would be given to the owner and to the owner's property. Interestingly, some scarabs with royal names were worn after the king was deceased, in the saintly sense, similar to the holy medals of Christian saints. In all probability, no matter what their category, scarabs represented sacred emblems of Egyptian religious belief.

    The lock and key was unknown in Egypt. Instead, clay was shaped and impressed with seals to secure the contents of jars, bags, boxes, letters, and official documents, and to safeguard storage rooms by sealing the doors. They were handy and easily carried on the person. Official seals were so important that at least as early as the Old Kingdom officials instructed students in the art of being "sealers." Official departments had their secular sealers such as "Sealer of the Honey," while religious organizations had their "Divine Sealer." In the Middle Kingdom the royal treasury had its Chancellor and "Keeper of the Royal Seal." The idea of using a stamp seal, or "button seal," was imported to Egypt from Asia, but in taking the form of a beetle it became exclusively Egyptian.

    Although the scarab amulet may have been degraded by its utilitarian use as the everyday seal,it still retained its religious and magical importance throughout the dynastic period and later. In the Greco-Roman period scarabs were sanctified by sacred rites performed in the elaborate "ceremony of the beetle," performed only on nine particular days of the month.

    MATERIAL

    From the beginning, the majority of scarabs were small, sometimes just 1 cm. long. They were mostly carved out of steatite and coated in a variety of colored glazes, mostly shades of blue or green, perhaps a color influenced by the irridescent greenish-blue of the actual beetle.

    Scarabs were made in a wide variety of materials, such as carnelian, lapis lazuli, basalt, limestone, malachite, schist, serpentine, turquoise, colored glass, and alabaster. Pottery scarabs were also produced in terra-cotta molds, carved when dry and different colored glazes applied.

    In Dynasty XII and later, although often undecorated, one of the materials from the semi-precious stone category that was used was amethyst. In the New Kingdom faience was especially favored. Gold and silver were used but are seldom found, probably due to theft and being melted down in early times. They were also made in cloisonné, some strung on gold wire.

    Apparently knives, gravers, and simple drills were used to shape them. Softer materials were surely carved with hardened copper tools, known in the early predynastic period. During the later dynasties, tools of hardened bronze, the tubular and bow drill, were essential for soft material and also for hard stones. Flint or obsidian tools were probably favored by the engraver of delicate inscriptions.

    SYMBOLISM

    The typical scarab was modeled after several species in the Family Scarabaeidae, but primarily the common Egyptian dung-beetle, Scarabaeus sacer, and its various subspecies. There were numerous variants of the sacred stout-bodied beetles. By observing the physical differences between actual beetles and the way in which they appear as scarabs, the types used as models can often be identified.

    In the minds of the Egyptians the efficacy of the amulet was based on the habits of the actual beetle. The Greek writer, Plutarch (ca. AD 40-120), described their asexual perception of the beetle:

    One accepts (with the ancient Egyptians), that these varieties are only male beetles, that they put down their seed substance (semen) which forms a ball and the beetle rolls it forward with its widely spaced hind legs so that the beetle imitates the path of the sun as it went down in the west and rose in the east in the mornings.

    However, in reality the male and female often work together and it is the female which, after dropping her eggs in the ground, covers them in excrement on which the larvae feed. As the soft dung ball is rolled across the ground, dust and sand attached to it so that it became hardened and was sometimes equal in size to the beetle. Without a doubt in the mind of the unknowing Egyptian this was a thought provoking and impressive achievement that imitated the daily appearance of the sun. This observation prompted the Egyptians to associate the beetle with one of the many aspects of the great sun-god, that of the rising sun, Khepri.

    The magical sense of the scarab as an amulet was reinforced through a play on the name it was given. The Egyptian name for the dung-beetle was hprr, "rising from, come into being itself," close to the word hpr, with the meaning "to become, to change." The word hprr later became hpri, the divine name Khepri, given to the Creation god, who represented the young rising sun.

    The name Khepri was often included as one of the five great names in the titulary of the king. Khepri was identified with the sacred beetle, Kheper, in life style and in being self-created. Khepri is often shown as a man with a beetle head or surmounted by a beetle or as a beetle. Kheper, the sacred beetle, was believed the reincarnation of Khepri, the sun-god, being reborn each morning as the young sun, newly emerged out of the earth. Khepri, with the great sun-disk before him, would be energized in the other world each morning and roll the sun disk onto the horizon at sunrise and across the sky, just as the beetle rolled its dung ball over the horizon on the earth and buried it in the sands. As the earthly symbol of an aspect of the great life-giving sun, Kheper was identified with spontaneous creation, regeneration, so closely associated with eternal existence.

    A parallel idea of the god is with the newly born, completely formed beetles, which appeared to come out of the dung ball as self generated creatures springing forth full of life. According to the story of the Creation, Khepri says, "I developed myself from the primeval matter which I made, I developed myself out of the primeval matter." This was viewed as a sign of eternal renewal and reemergence of life, a reminder of the life to come. It signified to the Egyptians the descent under the earth, in the tomb, which was only a prologue to rebirth and the endlessness of life. Life and death were in a continual cycle.

    HEART SCARABS

    His heart is true, having gone forth from the balance, and he has not sinned against any god or any goddess.

    - Papyrus of Ani, XXXB (Dynasty XVIII)

    Not all sacred scarabs were small. The so-called "heart scarabs" were large, with an average length of 7.5 cm. These imposing amulets were placed on the throat of the mummy, on the chest, or over the heart. Some were worn by the deceased on a chain or a cord, hung around the neck, or mounted in a gold setting as a pectoral. The earliest examples came out of the Hyksos Period, the first dated to a particular King Sobekemsaf from Dynasty XVII.

    This heart scarab was found on the mummy of a wab-priest of the Temple of Amun, Djed Khons-Iwef-Ankh.

    HEART SCARAB.

    Serpentine.
    Late Dynastic Period, Dynasty XXI-XXII.
    Provenance: Thebes.
    Western Reserve Historical Society: 42.192.

    Many heart scarabs bear a spell on the flat side. It is a plaintive prayer to the heart of the deceased not to bear witness against the deceased when their actions are being judged before Osiris. The inscription is a version from chapter XXXB in the so-called Book of the Dead, words which provided the heart scarab with its function:

    O my heart which I received from my mother,
    my heart which I received from my mother,
    my heart of my different ages,
    do not stand up against me as a witness!
    Do not create opposition against me among the assessors!
    Do not tip the scales against me
    in the presence of the Keeper of the Balance!
    You are my soul which is in my body,
    the god Khnum who makes my limbs sound.
    When you go forth to the Hereafter,
    my name shall not stink to the courtiers
    who create people on his behalf.
    Do not tell lies about me
    in the presence of the Great God!

    - Translation by Thomas J. Logan (1985)

    Reflected in the opening lines is that the scarab was believed to be: the heart of Isis, who was the mother of the deceased, thus identified with Horus: to be the heart which belonged to the transformations or becomings of the deceased's future life, in order to give soundness to their limbs; and to be the charm which should ensure their justification in the judgment.

    The inscription was intended to keep anything evil from rising up against the deceased and prevent any hindrance before the divine court of judgment, so that no enemy would speak against the deceased in the presence of the guardians of the balance. The spell functioned to persuade the heart not to invent lies when the heart was weighed against the feather, the attribute of the goddess of truth, Maat, on the scales during the crucial period in the court of final judgment. The heart scarab was not only the carrier of a text, it had its own function. It was a symbol of self-generation and rebirth. The ideas behind its use have been summarized as follows:

    The scarab-beetle was the symbol of the Sun-god and as such could stimulate the deceased's heart to life.

    The scarab-beetle was the symbol of "transformations," whereby the deceased could make any "changes" into whatever his heart desired.

    Through Chapter XXXB inscribed upon the heart scarab the deceased's heart would not weigh too much on the Scales of Truth and in this way be accepted by Osiris.

    Chapter XXXB also instructed the heart scarab to be made out of the nmhf-stone, identified as green jasper, and to be set in gold and hung around the neck of the deceased. However, only a small number of heart scarabs were completed out of this rare stone. Other green stones were abundant for the symbolic color, the sign for the resurrection, as was the gold in which it was to be set.

    The large imposing size of the heart scarab contrasts with the many small steatite scarabs produced as seals and ornament. As the renowned British archaeologist and Egyptologist Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie pointed out, the heart scarab was: ...sanctified in the xviiith dynasty by being carved in a very large size, with a purely religious text upon it, and placed in a frame upon the breast of the dead.... Such were the high religious aspects of the scarab in the later times, removing it from the almost contemptuous familiarity to which it had been degraded, as the vehicle of seals and petty ornament.

    This heart scarab, possibly dating to the reign of Thutmose III (1490-1436 BC), was recovered from Tomb D120 at Abydos, during excavations under the direction of Sir W. M. Flinders Petrie.

    HEART SCARAB. (46K)

    Speckled green serpentine.
    Size: 4.7 cm. wide x 6.7 cm. long x 3.2 cm. high.
    New Kingdom, Dynasty XVIII(?).
    Provenance: Abydos, Tomb D120.
    Oriental Institute Museum: 1896.

    Heart scarabs played an important role as amulets in the funerary accessories of the deceased in the New Kingdom. They were usually carved from hard stone or made of faience or a glazed pottery. As is usual, the body of this scarab conforms to the Scarabaeus sacer; the surface of the speckled green stone is polished. The eyes and head are deeply carved on the five notched shield (clypeus). The first segment of the upper body (prothorax) and wings (elytrae) are separated by fine, carefully incised double lines around the edges and triple lines separate the wings. The legs (tibiae) are tucked underneath the body and the femora of the legs are indicated by a notch in the stone. At the body end below the wings the under body is suggested by a double row of V-shaped incised lines. The scarab has no bored hole. However, on either side under the shield are two shallow holes. Under the bend in the legs there are three shallow holes and two more above either leg. The name of the person for whom this scarab was made has been erased(?) from the upper horizontal register, and the short bottom register is blank.

    On the underside is a version of chapter XXXB from the Book of the Dead. Although this spell varied and was sometimes shortened, most inscriptions on the sacrab retained the basic ideas, as in the text quoted above.

    Selections from Magical Papyri
    by John Opsopaus

    INTRODUCTION

    Contents

    This is the second book of spells, charms, prayers, rituals etc. from the Greek magical papyri and Demotic spells. I have selected items that seem interesting and useful. Unfortunately, many of the papyri are very fragmentary and incomplete, and others make use of complicated magickal symbols and figures that are hard to represent in ASCII, so I have had to omit some otherwise worthwhile spells and charms. For these I suggest consulting Betz (below), which contains nearly 600 spells, charms, prayers, invocations, etc.

    The information in [brackets] following each selection indicates the collection (PGM = Papyri Graecae Magicae, PDM = P. Demoticae M.), the papyrus number and the lines where the spell can be found. The source for these translations is Hans Dieter Betz (ed.), The Greek Magical Papyri in Translation Including the Demotic Spells, Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1986.

    The spells, prayers, etc. are organized by category:

    I. Protection
    II. Divination and Visions
    III. Self-Improvement
    IV. Health and Healing
    V. Craft
    VI. Miscellaneous

    Pronunciation of Magical Names

    In general, most of the "voces magicae" (magical names) are written in Old Coptic, which used Greek letters, so you will do best if you think Greek. Thus, Y sounds between English "u" and "y", something like German umlauted "u". Pronounce CH as in German "ach" or Scotch "loch". The symbol E' represents eta, so pronounce like a long "a"; O' represents omega, so pronounce like a long "o". The symbols PH (phi) and TH (theta) probably should be aspirated "p" and "t", but may have been pronounced like English "f" and "th" by the time the papyri were written.

    The symbol "NN" in a spell means "fill in the blank," generally with the name of the one on whose behalf the spell is cast (thus, "NN" or "the NN man"), or with the question or problem to which the spell is addressed (thus, "the NN matter").

    I. PROTECTION

    i. Charm to Break Enchantment

    Taking a Three-Cornered Sherd from a Fork in the Road -- pick it up with your Left Hand -- inscribe it with Myrrhed Ink and hide it. [Write:] "ASSTRAELOS CHRAELOS, dissolve every Enchantment against me, NN, for I conjure You by the Great and Terrible Names which the Winds fear and the Rocks split when they hear it."

    [There are seven Symbols to be written on the Sherd; they look like this: (1) a Greek capital upsilon (like a Y with sagging arms), with small circles at all three ends; (2) an X with small circles on the ends; (3) a squared-off U with small circles at the ends of the arms; (4) a line inclined to the right, with a small right-angle bend to the right at the end, small circles at both ends; (5) a line inclined to the right, small circles on ends, but slightly to the left; (6) arc or rounded L from upper left to lower right, circles on ends; (7) An A with circles on its feet. The whole sign looks something like this:

    Y X U /` ) L A

    [PGM XXXVI.256-64]

    ii. Charm to Restrain Anger and Charm for Success

    (No Charm is Greater, and it is to be performed by means of Words Alone.) Hold your Thumbs and repeat the Spell 7 times: "ERMALLO'TH ARCHIMALLO'TH stop the Mouths that speak against me, because I glorify Your Sacred and Honored Names which are in Heaven."

    To Augment the Words: Take Papyrus and write thus: "I am CHPHYRIS [i.e., the god Khepri, the scarab]. I must be successful! MICHAE'L RAPHAE'L ROUBE'L NARIE'L KATTIE'L ROUMBOUTHIE'L AZARIE'L IOE'L IOUE'L EZRIE'L SOURIE'L NARIE'L METMOURIE'L AZAE'L AZIE'L SAOUMIE'L ROUBOUTHIE'L RABIE'E'L RABIE'E'L RABCHLOU ENAEZRAE'L, Angels, protect me from every Bad Situation that comes upon me!" [PGM XXXVI.161- 77]

    iii. Spell To Catch a Thief

    [Although this spell is coercive, I have included it because it is fundamentally defensive.] Take a Plant Chelkbei and Bugloss, strain them, burn what you strain out, mix well with Juice, and write "CHOO'" with it on a Wall. Take Gallows Wood and carve a Hammer. With the Hammer strike the Eye [see below] while saying the Formula: "I conjure You by the Holy Names! Hand over the Thief who made off with it! CHALCHAK CHALKOUM CHIAM CHARCHROUM ZBAR BE'RI ZBARKOM CHRE' KARIO'B PHARIBOU, and by the Shudderful Names: A EE E'E'E' IIII OOOOO YYYYYY O'O'O'O'O'O'O'!"

    [This is the figure to strike:]
                                       A
          O'        [draw the         E E
         Y Y        Uzat-Eye,        E'E'E'
       I I I I      the Eye of      I I I I
      E'E'E'E'E'    Horus, here]   E'E'E'E'E'
     E E E E E E                  E E E E E E
    A A A A A A A                A A A A A A A
    IAO'     O'IA   IO'A  AE'O'  E'O'A    O'AE'

    "Hand over the Thief who Stole it! As long as I strike the Eye with this Hammer, let the Eye of the Thief be struck, and let it Swell Up until it betrays him!" While saying this, Strike with the Hammer. [PGM V.70-95]

    II. DIVINATION AND VISIONS

    iv. Inquiry of Bowl Divination and Necromancy

    Nephotes to Psammetichos, Immortal King of Egypt. Greetings. Since the Great God has appointed you Immortal King and Nature has made you an Expert Magician [Sophistes], I too, with a desire to show you the Industry in me, have sent you this Magical Procedure which, with Complete Ease, produces a Holy Power....

    Whenever you want to Inquire about Matters, take a Bronze Vessel, either a Bowl or a Saucer, whatever Kind you wish. Pour Water: Rain Water if you are calling upon the Heavenly Gods, Sea Water if Gods of the Earth, River Water if Osiris or Sarapis, Spring Water if the Dead. Holding the Vessel on your Knees, pour out Green Olive Oil, bend over the Vessel and speak the Prescribed Spell. And address whatever God you want and ask about whatever you wish, and He will reply to you and tell you about Anything. And if He has spoken dismiss Him with the Spell of Dismissal, and you who have used this Spell will be Amazed.

    The Spell spoken over the Vessel is: "AMOUN AUANTAU LAIMOUTAU RIPTOU MANTAUI IMANTOU LANTOU LAPTOUMI ANCHO'MACH ARAPTOUMI, hither to me, O NN God! Appear to me this very Hour and do not Frighten my Eyes! Hither to me, O NN God, be Attentive to me because he [probably should be "I"] Wishes and Commands this ACHCHO'R ACHCHO'R ACHACHACH PTOUMI CHACHCHO' CHARACHO'CH CHAP- TOUME' CHO'RACHARACHO'CH APTOUMI ME'CHO'CHAP- TOU CHARACHPTOU CHACHCHO' CHARACHO' PTENA- CHO'CHEU" (a Hundred [Greek] Letters).

    But you are not unaware, Mighty King and Leader of Magicians, that this is the Chief Name of Typhon, at whom the Ground, the Depth of the Sea, Hades, Heaven, the Sun, the Moon, the Visible Chorus of Stars, the whole Universe all Tremble, the Name that consists of 100 Letters. Finally, when you have called, whomever you called will appear, God or Dead Man, and He will give an Answer about anything you ask. And when you have learned to your Satisfaction, dismiss the God merely with the Powerful Name of the Hundred Letters as you say, "Depart, Master, for the Great God, NN, wishes and commands this of You!" Speak the Name, and He will depart. Let this Spell, Mighty King, be transmitted to You Alone, Guarded by you, Unshared!

    There is also the Protective Charm itself which you wear while Performing, even while Standing: onto a Silver Leaf inscribe this Name of 100 Letters with a Bronze Stylus, and wear it strung on a Thong from the Hide of an Ass. [The ass is the animal associated with Seth/Typhon.] [PGM IV.154-160, 222-260]

    v. Vessel Divination

    To inquire opposite the Moon: You should do it as a Vessel Inquiry alone or with a Youth. If you are the one who is going to Inquire, you should equip your Eye with Green Eye-Paint and Black Eye-Paint. You should stand on a High Place on the Top of your House. You should speak to the Moon when it fills the Sound-Eye on the 15th Day, you being Pure for Three Days. [The Sound-Eye is Uzait Horu, the wdz.t-eye or Sacred Eye of Horus; the Moon fills the Sound-Eye when it is full.] You should recite this Spell opposite the Moon seven or nine times until He [the Moon (masculine in Egyptian)] appears to you and speaks to you: "Hail, SAKS Amoun SAKS ABRASAKS, for You are the Moon, the Great One of the Stars, He who formed them! Listen to these things which I said! Walk in accordance with the Words of my Mouth! Reveal Yourself to me, THAN THANA THANATHA, this is my Correct Name!" Nine times of saying it until She [the Moon] reveals Herself to you. [PDM xiv.695-700]

    vi. Method of 29 Letters for Receiving an Omen

    "Great is the Lady Isis!" Copy of a Holy Book found in the Archives of Hermes: The Method is that concerning The 29 Letters [of the Coptic alphabet], through which Letters Hermes and Isis, who was seeking Osiris, Her Brother and Husband, found Him.

    Call upon Helios and all the Gods in the Deep concerning Those Things for which you want to receive an Omen. Take 29 Leaves of a Male Date Palm and write on each of the Leaves the Names of the Gods. Pray and then pick them up Two By Two. Read the Last Remaining Leaf and you will find your Omen, how things are, and you will be answered clearly. [PGM XXIVa.1-25]

    vii. Charm of Solomon's Collapse

    [That is, Solomon's Charm to produce a trance.] (Works on Boys and on Adults): I swear to you by the Holy Gods and the Heavenly Gods not to share the Procedure of Solomon with anyone and certainly not to use it for Something Questionable unless a Matter of Necessity forces you, lest perchance Wrath be preserved for you.

    Formula to be Spoken: "OURIO'R AME'N IM TAR CHO'B KLAMPHO'B PHRE' PHRO'R PTAR OUSIRI SAIO'B TE'LO' KABE' MANATATHO'R ASIO'RIKO'R BE'EINO'R AMOUN O'M ME'NICHTHA MACHTHA CHTHARA AMACHTHA AOU ALA- KAMBO'T BE'SINO'R APHE'SIO'R PHRE'PH AME'I OUR LAMASIR CHE'RIO'B PITRE'M PHE'O'PH NIRIN ALLANNA- THATH CHE'RIO'CH O'NE' BOUSIRI NINOUNO AMANAL GAGO'SARIE'R ME'NIAM TLE'R OOO AA ETNE' OUSIRI OUSIRI OUSIRI OUSIRI ME'NE'MB MNE'M BRABE'L TNE'KAIO'B. Hear me, that is, my Holy Voice, because I call upon Your Holy Names, and reveal to me concerning the Thing which I want, through the NN Man or Little Boy, for otherwise I will not defend Your Holy and Undefiled Names! Come to me, You who became Hesies and were carried away by a River; inspire the NN Man or Boy concerning that which I ask You: BARBE'TH MNO'R ARARIAK TARE'RIM O'AR TE'RO'K SANIO'R ME'NIK PHAUEK DAPHORIOUMIN LARIO'R E'TNIAMIM KNO'S CHALAKTHIR KRO'PHE'R PHE'SIMO'T PRE'BIB KNALA E'RIBE'TIM GNO'RI! Come to me through the NN Man or Little Boy and tell me accurately since I speak Your Names which Thrice-Greatest Hermes [i.e., Hermes Trismegistos] wrote in Heliopolis with Hieroglyphic Letters: ARBAKO'RIPH ME'NIAM O'RAO'B ABNIO'B ME'RIM BAIAX CHENO'R PE'NIM O'RA O'RE'SIOU OUSIRI PNIAMOUSIRI PHRE'OUSIRI HO'RIOUSIRI NAEI- O'ROUSIRI ME'NIMOUSIRI MNE'KOUSIRI PHLE'KOUSIRI PE'LE'LOUSIRI O'NIO' RABKOUSIRI ANIO'BOUSIRI AME'A- OUSIRI ANO'ROUSIRI AME'N'PHE'OUSIRI AME'NIOUSIRI XO'NIO'R E'OUROUSIRI! Enter into him and reveal to me concerning the NN Matter!"

    After you have Purified the Designated Man by keeping him from Intercourse for 3 Days, you yourself also being Pure, enter together with him. After you have taken him up to an Open Place, seat him on Unbaked Bricks, dress him and give him an Anubian Head of Wheat and a Falcon-Weed Plant so that he will be protected. Gird yourself with a Palm Fiber of a Male Date Palm, extend your Hands up to Heaven, toward the Rays of the Sun, and say the Formula 7 times. Next make an offering of Male Frankincense after pouring out Wine, Beer, Honey or Milk of a Black Cow onto Grape-Vine Wood. Then say the Formula 7 times just into the Ear of the NN Man or Little Boy, and right away he will fall down. But you sit down on the Bricks and make your Inquiry, and he will describe Everything with Truth. You should crown him with a Garland of Indigenous Worm-Wood, both him and you, for the God delights in the Plant.

    Dismissal of the Lord: Into the Ear of NN: "ANANAK ARBEOUE'RI AEE'IOYO'!"

    If He tarries, sacrifice on Grape-Vine Charcoal a Sesame Seed and Black Cumin while saying: "ANANAK O'RBEOUSIRI AEE'IOYO', go away, Lord, to Your Own Thrones and protect him, NN, from all Evil!" You learned thoroughly; keep it Secret.

    The Awakening is as follows: Stand away from the Boy or Man, having your Palms spread on your Buttocks, your Feet together on the Ground, recite the following often until he is moved either toward the Right or toward the Left: "AMOUN E'EI ABRIATH KICHO'P O'TEM PITH." Then as a Dog [i.e., presumably, bark like a dog]. [PGM IV.850-929]

    viii. Spell for Revelation

    Keep yourself Pure for 7 days before the Moon becomes Full by abstaining from Meat and Uncooked Food, by leaving behind during the prescribed days exactly Half of your Food in a Turquoise Vessel [probably faience, i.e., blue-green glazed pottery, rather than actual turquoise], over which you are also to Eat, and by abstaining from Wine. When the Moon is Full, go by yourself to the Eastern Section of your City, Village, or House and throw out on the Ground the Left-Over Morsels. Then return Very Quickly to your Quarters and shut yourself in before He can get there, because He will shut you out if He gets there before you. But before you throw out the Morsels, fix in the Ground at a Slight Angle a Verdant Reed that is about Two Cubits long, tie some Hairs from a Stallion about the Mid-Section of a Horned Dung Beetle, and suspend the Beetle from the Reed by them. Then light a Lamp that has not been used before and place it under the Beetle in a new Earthen-Ware Dish, so that the Heat from the Lamp barely reaches the Beetle. Stay Calm after you have thrown out the Morsels, gone to your Quarters, and shut yourself in; for the One you have summoned will stand there and, by threatening you with Weapons, will try to force you to release the Beetle. But remain Calm, and do not release it until He gives you a Response; then release it right away. And every day during the Period of Purification when you are about to Eat and to go to Bed, speak the following Spell 7 times (you are to say them again when you return to your Quarters after throwing out the Food). Keep it Secret: "You with the Wooden Neck, you with the Clay Face, come in to me, for I am Sabertoush, the Great God who is in Heaven!"

    The Phylactery [charm worn for protection] for the foregoing: With Blood from the Hand or Foot of a Pregnant Woman, write the Name given below on a Clean Piece of Papyrus; then tie it about your Left Arm by a Linen Cords and wear it. Here is what is to be written: "SHTE'IT CHIEN TENHA, I bind and loose."

    The dismissal: When you release the Beetle, say: "Harko, Harko is my Name; Harko is my True Name!"

    Guard these Instructions well! The Rite: an Onion. [Probably means: Use the Procedure involving an Onion.] [PGM IV.52-85]

    ix. A "God's Arrival" of Osiris

    [I.e., an Invocation of Osiris for a Revelation] "O Isis, O Nephthys, O Noble Soul of Osiris Wennefer, come to me! I am Your Beloved Son, Horus.

Teach me about Such and Such a Thing about which I am asking. Quickly! Quickly! Hurry! Hurry!"

    Formula: On a Phoenix written with Myrrh Water and Juniper Water. Put a Pellet of Gum on your Right Hand; recite these Writings to it in the Evening while your Hand is stretched out to the Moon, while you are going to Sleep; and leave your Hand before you.

    The Scarab Strikes Back

    by John Lee
    November 30, 2001

    Today, I got chewed out by a lifetime member of UT's Scarabben Senior Secret Society. (Note to Scarabs—this is a dead giveaway of proof of membership. Don't quit your day job to become a spy or poker player.)

    The exchange went something like this:

    SSSS: Step into my office. [Door shuts. Sit down. Small talk.] You are never going to get into law school writing about what you write about.

    JL: What do you mean? I'm getting over 50,000 hits a month and my web sites crash from too many hits. I get many compliments on my writing which is nothing more than honestly reporting the news in an entertaining way. I'm getting ready to set up a non-profit corporation to take donations in order to be able to publish my webbooks. [More discussion about business, college, careers and life. (My thoughts: UT College of Law currently refuses admission to all those affiliated with lawyers who help "the public" instead of giant corporations to crush the public, to the point of sucking $100,000 donations from suckers, er, alumni, then still TDing their kid!]

    SSSS: [Standing up into the "power position", voice rising.] Do you really think that members of the Scarabbean Senior Society are "Dungeaters"? Do you really think they are "Narcoterrorists"?

    JL: Well, uh, I don't know. Some of them may be.

    SSSS: Scarabben Senior society is just a club at UT. It doesn't do anything like that.

    JL: Well, uh...

    SSSS: Do you think members of Skull and Bones are Narcoterroists? Do you think George Bush is a Narcoterrorist?

    JL: [My thoughts: I had been half-expecting this conversation from this person for some time, so I was prepared to defend my position.] A lot of them, yes. And, I do think George Bush is a Narcoterrorist. [My thoughts: Note this SSSS was a lawyer tasked with taking the deposition of Lewis Tambs, the US ambassador to Costa Rica who was expelled along with his embassy staff for running narcotics via diplomatic immunity on behalf of the Reagan/Bush White House during its Iran-Contra guns-for-drugs conspiracy of racketeering and organized crimes that resulted in 14 convictions, 14 pardons and one "dead"/MIA CIA Director. UT Law Library has 35 volumes of testimony and exhibits from the Congressional Hearings on "Iran-Contra Matters". This SSSS does not like to talk privately about this very historic event in American history, which is odd for a "prosecutor".]

    SSSS: Do you really think that George Bush and his government committed the terrorist attacks on September 11? You aren't going to write that!

    JL: Yes, I do know that George-Bush White House, CIA and Pentagon committed those terrorist attacks and yes, I will write about it. I simply report major news articles instead of censoring them.

    SSSS: Are you saying that Chris Whittle is a Dungeater or a Narcoterrorist?

    JL: Maybe.

    SSSS: How about Howard Baker?

    JL: Was Howard Baker a Scarab?

    SSSS: Yes. We were both in student government at UT. He was president of [so-and-so] and I was president of [so-and-so]. Do you think he's a Narcoterrorist?

    JL: Probably. It's possible. [My thoughts: US Senator Baker was White House Chief of Staff for Reagan-Bush during its Iran-Contra narcoterrorism crimes and is now ambassador to Japan for Bush-Cheney White House. This did catch me off-guard, since this SSSS was "defending" Baker, who he had once "competed" against in a US Senate race. In fact, I was due to face-off in a jury trial against Baker's "The Firm" that very same day in state court. Baker's $70-Million-a-year international firm was defending Knoxville's $40-Billion cartel of tow-trucking and Mafia-convicted garbage-trucking (in NY City on A&E TV), partner of the arch-nemisis of UT students, Cedar Bluff Towing (the owner of which allegedly tried to murder his girlfriend by tossing her from his vehicle, breaking her arms and legs). It is rumored that Baker's Memphis firm, which their own website names "The Firm", was the model for John Grisham's "The Firm" about Mafia lawyers in Memphis. The street beside Knoxville Police Department renamed for Baker after webmaster's sues it for racketeering and organized crime. Hmmmm. I 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5 I 6 I 7 I 8 I 9 I] Are you a Scarabbean?

    SSSS: Yes, I am.

    JL: I thought so. [My thoughts: He was possibly caught off guard by my deadpan counterattack. One week previously, I had successfully grilled a judge in his own public courtroom in Circuit Court regarding the judge being sued for fraud and disbarment after a $5-million scandal at his church. I had survived without arrest for contempt of court. Years before that I had literally called a 4-star general "impotent" in the cover of 1,000 pages of reports sent to the US Congress. That general was subsequently fired and my wife was offered a job by the person who fired him. Later, I grilled the chief of police about a hit-man for US DEA who the chief said killed at least four people, who I later helped get his second murder conviction. I also grilled the District Attorney about a cop-killing that it appeared the DA, the mayor and police chief had condoned. I currently have 2 class-action lawsuits against the Skull & Bones mayor for theft, racketeering and organized crime. So no, I don't usually cower at authority, though I can certainly think of several hundred other things I'd rather be doing.]

    SSSS: Are you saying I'm a Dungeater? Are you saying I'm a Narcoterrorist?

    JL: Of course not. It's a figure of speech—a joke. I just want people to think about it. [My thoughts: His father did grow sugarcane for the Bootlegging industry, just like the current governor's family is rumored to have done. In fact, so did this individual, once upon-a-time on a farm now "stolen" during the government's bogus annexation of Tellico Lake. The farm is now named Rarity Bay and sells for $350,000 an acre. And yes, naming a Secret Society after a Dung-beetle is just plain silly, like fart-jokes, farting, lighting farts, all the stupid things college kids do—not me personally, just other people. I was VP of my freshsheeple class, so obviously I would never do such a vulgar thing as fart. But I digress.]

    That was pretty much the end of the conversation about UT Scarabs, moving on to legal matters. He did allege that Scarabbean was about 180 years old, which would make it on par with Skull and Bones. It was odd that this person stood up for poor, defenseless, multi-millionaire Scarabs, especially when thse same Scarabs had screwed him out of thousands of acres of prime real estate and put him into bankruptcies, and he then turned around and helped topple the Bush Sr. White House for its Iran-Contra crimes. I'm not sure exactly how to read that. Some might call it "asshole buddies". Or maybe the moral of the story is, "Don't trust a Scarab"?

    I can't tell you who this secret SSSS is, or I would have to be honest with you, or kill you, or they would kill me, or something like that. At least that's what most of these societies threaten their members with during ritual initiation ceremonies. Like, the Masonic lodges promise to cut out the heart and toss it over the left shoulder if a member violates the rules. As the new movie From Hell alleges, London's "Jack the Ripper's" ritual mutilations of female prostitutes was due to Masonic rites for the London police chief and the Queen Victoria's surgeon, in order to protect the royal bloodline of "free-loving" Prince Eddie, as done with pregnant Princess Diana and hubby-to-be Dodi al Fayed. (All denied by Masons and Queen Elizabeth 2, of course.)

    But, it did make me think about fine-tuning my writing, as I always do when getting negative/positive feedback. I'd be happy to hear from more Scarabs, and more victims of Scarabs. As you will see from the Daily Beacon articles included above, some of them are obviously written by Scarabs. Those always stand out since strident writers seem to take it a little too personally.

    Of course, not every member of any Secret Society is a career criminal. That should go without saying, but obviously I need to say it anyway. But... Not every member of a secret society knows what its leaders' ultimate agenda is, either.

    Or maybe I should call it "Future Narcoterrorists of America"? Or "Offspring of Narcoterrorists of America"?

    As NYPD detective Frank Serpico testified during the Knapp Commission hearings into police corruption, "10% of cops are honest, 10% are dishonest, and 80% wish they were honest." And that was back in the "good old days". Now, "honest" cops pretty much agree that it is not possible to survive the bureaucracy without becoming a career criminal. Times are a-changing. Many Secret Societyers get hired into government positions of authority over taxpayer funds—funds which then seem to disappear at an ever-alarming rate. At the upper echelons of the Masonic Orders, it is alleged that the rules forbid tattle-telling on members observed committing crimes, even murders.

    Expecting them to police themselves is absurd, as is "self-investigation" by any organization. There obviously needs to be infiltration of Secret societies by honest members of society. This is the only way to keep an eye on what's going on and report on things that need reporting in order to protect society from destruction. The entire law-enforcement and "justice" system in USA is based upon the "informant" system, usually by putting career crminals on payrole with lifetime immunity from prosecution. So inflitrating an SS is the American Way.
