"Skull and Bones" is a secret society at Yale University although it is not affiliated with the university. There have been numerous conspiracy theory's toward this secret society over the years. Members swear an oath of secrecy about the group and it is comprised of the elite of the elite at the Ivy League school. Only fifteen Yale seniors are asked to join each year. Both Presidents Bush, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, and a number of other powerful government or industry positions are members of the society.
Chiricahua Apache Geronimo (Chiricahua Goyaale "one who yawns") was the prominent leader of the Chiricahua Apaches who fought against Mexico and the United States for their encroachment onto Apache tribal lands for several decades. Geronimo and thirty five of his warriors surrendered to General Nelson A. Miles near the Arizona - New Mexico border in 1886. Geronimo was sent to Florida, later being transferred to Georgia. He was eventually sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma and died at the Army outpost of pneumonia on February 17, 1909.HOW ARE THESE TWO STORIES RELATED
In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Geronimo's death on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Geronimo's great-grandson Harlyn Geronimo filed a federal lawsuit in Washington D.C.,claiming that members of the "Skull and Bones" stole the remains of the legendary Apache leader. Harlyn Geronimo maintains that members of "Skull and Bones" took some of the remains in 1918 from the burial plot at Fort Sill to keep in its New Haven clubhouse, a crypt.
According to lore, members of "Skull and Bones" including Prescott Bush, grandfather to President Bush, dug up the grave of Geronimo when a group of Army volunteers from Yale were stationed at the fort during World War I, taking his skull, some of his bones, and personal items. Harlyn Geronimo wants those remains and any held by the federal government turned over to the family so they can be reburied near the Indian leader's birthplace in Southern New Mexico's Gila Wilderness Area.
Their lawsuit also names President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and Army Secretary Pete Green as defendants. Reportedly, part of the initiation process into the "Skull and Bones" society involves the kissing of a skull.
I only have two comments to the entire situation is that during the 2004 Presidential Election, it did not appear to me that President Bush and Senator Kerry were the best of "brothers" of a secret society. They surely did talk bad of one another. Perhaps there are some secrets between the two of them. My second comment being, didn't we dig up the grave of William H. Bonney, a.k.a. "Billy the Kid" in New Mexico several years ago to see who was buried in the grave of "Billy the Kid"?
