Secret Societies | Skull and Bones

What is it about Skull & Bones that strikes both fear and silence in all but the most casual observer? Is it the death-obsessed emblems surrounding so much of their fantastic lore, including rumors of harboring the mortal remains of some of America’s most beloved heroes? Is it the tight-lipped secrecy that surrounds the group, so much that questioning rumors of affiliation have resulted in more than a handful of job firings? Or is it a historically traceable connection between its members and the upper echelons of international power, a power that has grafted itself by dint of affiliation to key leadership positions in the very same groups we have been covering in this series? After all, it’s just a harmless college fraternity, isn’t it? All good fun and games, if slightly more morbid than most. Well on today's show, you may find yourself grateful that binge drinking and a sliding GPA might be the biggest worries about your son while he’s away at school.
