That video is stupid. They get the facts wrong in the first few lines... He didn't advise H.W. and his role was very different than Karl Rove (because he won elections with out accusing opponents of being terrorists or fathering illegitimate interracial children. Plus he advised Nixon.

 

 Sorry I didn't reply for awhile, completely forgot. Anyways wow, he got mixed up on H.W, big freaking deal,lol. The job title was the same as Rove, thats what Alex Jones is pointing out and I mean I'm interested in your response to what David Gergen said. Something a little more intelligent than " this video is stupid".

 

I didn't reply to the main reason why it was stupid because I assumed it was obvious.

Skull and Bones, or any other "collegiate secret organization or society", is just a club not directly affiliated with the college.  A club of top students at a top school, admittedly, but it just a group of people who have something in common who help eachother out through their connection.  That's it.  The Skull and Bones in particular has been known to have people of very widely different political views.  Many of them hate each other.

Their roll is public, their finances are public.  The fact that they make a stupid movie, mark Montgomery Burns as a S&B (which was an inside joke, because the writers at the Simpsons were almost exclusively Harvard alum), or there's a bunch of false theories about them starting the CIA or pulling on the strings of government doesn't mean any of that is true.

The idea that one secret student and alumni organization can control the government is perposterous.  They forget that there are at least 6 other "sercret" societies at Yale, and many more at other top and mid-level schools.  (Including Harvard, Chicago, Baylor (Which I think Akuma is a part of), Florida, and dozens more.)  They're about fun, charity, and networking.
