Román "harmadikhullámos" black metal, nem rossz. Mellesleg már nincsen nemzetközileg ismert bm zenekar Magyarországon, talán Csihar Attila Tormentorját leszámítva.

Mayhem - Life Eternal (live with Attila Csihar on vocals)
Attila Csihar (born March 29, 1971) is a Hungarian black metal vocalist, best known for his vocal work on the album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem.
His career started in the Hungarian metal band Tormentor. The band reached a cult status in black metal circles, even without major label releases. In 1992, Attila was invited to perform vocals on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas after Mayhem's then-vocalist Dead committed suicide. The album became one of the quintessential albums of the genre, even though purist fans consider Csihar's vocals out of place. In the band's now 20 year history, he's the band's only non-Scandinavian member.
After Mayhem, Csihar continued to work in various experimental projects, such as Plasma Pool, Aborym, and Korog. In 2004, he recorded vocals for the song 'Decay2 (Nihil's Maw)' by American Doom/Drone Metal band Sunn O))), and even performed live with the band on their European tour. He briefly performed in Keep of Kalessin as well. Currently, Attila left Aborym in order to rejoin Mayhem as the band's new singer, after their previous singer, Maniac, left. His final contribution to Aborym was performing lead vocals on the song Man Bites God on their 2006 album, Generator. Recently, Attila has joined Greg Anderson of Sunn O))) and Oren Ambarchi in a new project called Burial Chamber Trio. This outfit has recorded one record and released on vinyl by Southern Lord Records and has performed a small number of concerts in Europe in January and February 2007. For these concerts, Attila dressed in a jute sack while sporting a wig that is reminiscent of Norman Bates's mother in Psycho.
Attila is divorced and has two children. He resides in Budapest.

Death Ss - Hi-Tech Jesus
Lyrics
Come in the house of the cyber god
And connect your soul to heaven
The digital church grants you salvation
24 hours a day
Kneel to the holy terminal
And send an e-mail to Jesus
Your virtual confessor is always ready
To listen to all your sins
Moving the mouse and touch the monitor
So starts the christian game
Come ask forgiveness for your faults
From the celestial screen
You can clean your soul of all your mistakes
The modern house of god can save you
You'll never be alone with all your regrets
You only need you're credit card!
Type in your sins
And then pray to the screen
Of your hi-tech Jesus!
And then wait for the print
Of your hi-tech Jesus!
Hi-tech Jesus!
You can switch on the program you prefer
And then have a chat with your god
The techno-religion is fully equipped
To satisfy all your needs
Don't forget to leave just a little fee
A share for the plastic lord
With a little expense you'll be always sure
To reserve a place in the sky
You can clean your soul of all your mistakes
The modern house of god can save you
You'll never be alone with all your regrets
You only need you're credit card!
Type in your sins
And then pray to the screen
Of your hi-tech Jesus!
And then wait for the print
Of your hi-tech Jesus!
Hi-tech Jesus!

Bathory - One Rode to Asa Bay
Lyrics
Dedicated to Mr. Dean Anderson
One man rode the way through the woods
Down to Asa bay
Where dragon ships had sailed to sea
More times than one could say
To see with own eyes the wonder
People told of from man to man
The God of all almightyness
Had arrived from a foreign land
The rumours told of a man
Who had come from the other side the seas
Carrying gold cross around neck in chain
And spoke in strange tongue of peace
He had come with strange men in armour
Dressed in purple shirts and lace
Smelling not of beer but flowers
And with no hair in face
And the bold man carrying cross
Had told all one of Asa bay
The God of all man woman child had come
To them all save
And to thank Lord of Heaven
One should build to God a house
And to save one's soul from Hell
One should be baptised and say vows
A man of pride with the Hammer told new God
To build his house on own
And spoke loud of the Gods of their fathers
Not too long time gone
The rumours said the man with a beard like fire
the Hammer in chain
By men in armour silenced was and by
Their swords was slain
Those who did not pay the one coin
Of four to man of new God
Whipped was twenty and put in chains then locked
By their neck to the log
And so all of Asa bay did build
A house of the cross
Every hour of daylight they did sweat
Limbs ached because faith does cost
And on the day two hundred
There it stood white to the sky
The house of the God of the cross
Big enough to take two dragon ships inside
all of Asa bay did watch
The wonder raise to the sky
Now must the God of the cross be pleased satisfied
Just outside the circle of the crowd
One old man did stand
He looked across the waters
And blotted the sun out of his eyes with one hand
And his old eyes could almost see
The dragon ships set sail
his old ears could almost hear
Men of great numbers call out Oden's hail
And though he did know already
Though he turned face towards sky
whispered silent words forgotten
Spoken only way up high
Now this house of a foreign God does stand
Now must they leave us alone
Still he heard from somewhere in the woods
Old crow of wisdom say
...people of Asa land, it's only just begun...
" is a song by Bathory about the introduction of Christianity to Scandinavia and appears on the 1990 album Hammerheart.
Italian metal band Opera IX have made a cover version of this song as well as German metal band Mystic Circle, also it was covered instrumentally by Folk/Viking Metal band Folkvang
Quorthon dedicated the song to C. Dean Andersson, who had earlier sent some of his books to Quorthon. The village's name in the song, Asa Bay, comes from pseudonym Asa Drake which Andersson used in some of his books.
The music video was filmed in Norway to complement the story idea of the song. The video contains scenes of the band performing and a back story of settlers bringing a new religion to the land. The singer/guitar player for Bathory, Quorthon, paid $5,000 out of his own pocket to a man to film the music video. Quorthon explained, "I have never seen it and I didn’t get to see any of the 60 hours of film we had worked on for several weeks." He elaborated, "the guy who was responsible for the whole filming just went on holiday once the last shot was made and he was unheard from and impossible to reach." After several months later "he eventually did send us something," but it was 18 minutes of the 60 hours that were filmed. Meanwhile, it was assumed "the rest of the material is probably erased" and the final product was to remain the edited video that did not represent Quorthon's song idea. Ultimately, it became the first and last video Bathory would make. Even so, the video received play of MTV's Headbanger's Ball, which got Quorthon interviewed on MTV and introduced the band to American audiences. The video has only been available as a bootleg until 2006, when Black Mark Records released a tribute to Quorthon which contains a DVD with Quorthon footage and the video itself.

Kínai hörgmetál női énekessel
this band is from Beijing, China, and it's called Continue. The singer girl's voice is really scarry, so great.
Egyszerűen király. Ha ettől nem szarnak be a kínai elvtársak, akkor süketek. Kíváncsi vagyok, hogyan adaptálták a keresztények anyázását a kínaiak :)

Interview with Chinese Death Metal Music by Arte GermanTV
Metal in Peking
Ab in den Untergrund. In die Garagenproberäume Pekings. Dort headbanged die chinesische Metal-Szene um die Wette.
Ein Hinterhof im Osten von Peking. Hier trainiert Chinas musikalische Jugend. Sie nennen sich "Erem", zu Deutsch: "Dolch des Verderbens". Böse Kinder also? – Ja, sie geben sich Mühe. Blut, Krieg, Sex – Die Lieblingsthemen der Band. Seit drei Jahren sind sie die Goth Metal Band in Peking. Ihr Vorbild: Skandinavischer Metal. Und tatsächlich machen Sound und Outfit keinen großen Unterschied zu westlichen Bands.Ja – böse Kinder. Martialisch, wild und finster. So gar nicht im Sinne des Zentralkomitees…! Das offizielle China kennt keine Metal-Szene, der Staatsapparat ignoriert sie. Noch…
Sänger Yong Cheng: "Na, bisher haben sie uns nicht eingesperrt, nur weil wir mit langen Haaren rumlaufen."
Lead-Gitarrist Ding Xin: "Klar, wenn wir ein offizielles Album hätten, würde die Zensur auf Gewalt und Sex stoßen – dann gäb’s Ärger."
Sängerin Shanshan führt seit vier Jahren eine Art Doppelleben. – Sie studiert Operngesang am staatlichen Musikkonservatorium. Ihre Lehrer dürfen auf keinen Fall wissen, dass sie in einer Metal-Band singt. Könnte Ihre berufliche Zukunft ruinieren. Und auch viele Mitschülerinnen finden es befremdlich.
Der Bassist Xiabao hat als einziger der Band einen „ordentlichen“ Job, verdient Geld. Mit langen Haaren eine Arbeit zu bekommen ist schwierig in China. Seine Firma hat eine Ausnahme gemacht. Der Grund: Sie verkauft Gitarren und da ist Xiabao nun mal Spezialist. Gut 100 Euro verdient er im Monat. Nicht viel, aber für Xiabao ist der Job wie geschaffen. – Auch wenn's am Anfang schwere Kämpfe gab.
Bassist Zhang Xiabao: "Zuerst wollte mein Chef dass ich mir die Haare abschneide. Aber das geht nicht. Für Metal-Heads sind die Haare wie für den Soldaten die Flagge. Nur mit Flagge ist der Soldat ein Soldat. Also hab ich auf meine langen Haare bestanden."
Der Kompromiss: Bei Kundenkontakt muss er sich einen Zopf binden. Der Kunde soll nicht verschreckt werden…

wikipedia
A sátánizmus vallásként 1966-ban vált hivatalossá, amikor is Anton Szandor LaVey Amerikában megalapította a Sátán egyházát (Church of Satan), és az egy évvel később megjelent könyvében, a Sátáni Bibliában pontosan meghatározta a vallás ideológiáját, dogmatikáját és gyakorlatát, amelyek egyértelműen elválasztják a sátánizmust az ördögimádattól. A sátánizmust hivatalosan önálló vallásnak ismeri el többek közt az Amerikai Egyesült Államok kormánya és hadserege, valamint az Egyesült Királyság hadserege is.
A sátánizmus lényege az egyén fontossága, a létezés és az élet tisztelete a felsőbb hatalmak helyett; az egyént tekinti istennek. Ebből látható, hogy a sátánizmus ateista, pontosabban autodeista vallás. Vallja azt, hogy nem a jámborság, a behódolás, a remélt túlvilági örömök miatti földi szenvedés a helyes, hanem a kifejlett ego, az erő és az örömteli élet megélése az „itt és most”, és az „élvezet -- NEM kényszeresség” jegyében (vö. sátáni bűnök).
A sátánista vallás nem kéri híveit törvénytelenségekre, emberáldozatokra, véres jelenetekre; ezek az ördögimádat jellemzői. Nem használnak „kifordított” keresztény jelképeket (pl. fordított kereszt); jelképe a Baphomet-szimbólum. Nem folytatnak térítést.
A sátánizmusban a Sátán a következőket jelenti (A kilenc sátáni kinyilatkoztatás):
- Sátán az élvezetet képviseli az önmegtartóztatással szemben!
- Sátán az életet képviseli a szellemi vágyálmok helyett!
- Sátán a szennyezetlen bölcsességet képviseli a képmutató önámítás helyett!
- Sátán az arra érdemesekkel szembeni kedvességet képviseli, ahelyett, hogy szeretetünket idegenekre pazarolnánk!
- Sátán bosszúállást hirdet, ahelyett, hogy odafordítanánk a másik orcánkat!
- Sátán a felelősséget képviseli a felelősek iránt, ahelyett, hogy lelki vámpírokkal foglalkoznánk!
- Sátán azt hirdeti, hogy az ember csupán egy az állatok közül – néha jobb, de többnyire rosszabb a négy lábon járóknál –, aki az „istentől való lelki és szellemi fejlődése” révén valamennyi élőlény közül a legveszélyesebbé vált!
- Sátán a bűnöknek nevezett dolgokat hirdeti, mert ezek vezetnek a testi, szellemi vagy érzelmi kielégüléshez!
- Sátán az egyház legjobb barátja, hiszen az egyház neki köszönheti, hogy még mindig tevékenykedhet!
A vallás által hirdetett törvények, amelyek minden sátánistára jellemzőek (A földi sátánizmus tizenegy törvénye):
- Senkinek se adj tanácsot, csak ha megkérnek rá.
- Ne beszélj a gondjaidról másoknak, hacsak nem vagy biztos abban, hogy igazán hallani akarják.
- Ha másvalaki tanyáján tartózkodsz, mutass tiszteletet, máskülönben ne menj oda.
- Ha a tanyádon egy vendég bosszant, bánj el vele kegyetlenül.
- Ne közeledj senkihez szexuálisan, hacsak meg nem kapod tőle az erre felhatalmazó jelzést.
- Ne vedd el azt, ami a másé, hacsak az nincs terhére a tulajdonosának, és erre kifejezetten fel nem szólít.
- Ismerd el a mágia hatalmát, ha sikeresen használtad vágyaid eléréséhez. Ha tagadod a mágia létezését, miután használtad, mindent elveszítesz, amit szereztél.
- Ne panaszkodj olyasmi miatt, aminek nem lenne kötelező alávetned magad.
- Ne árts kisgyerekeknek.
- Ne ölj nem emberi állatot, hacsak rád nem támadnak, vagy ha élelemre van szükséged.
- Amikor közterületen jársz, ne háborgass senkit. Ha valaki téged háborgat, szólítsd fel, hogy hagyja abba. Ha tovább háborgat, pusztítsd el.
A vallás által bűnnek kikiáltott dolgok, amelyeket minden sátánista kerül: ostobaság, pózolás, szolipszizmus, önámítás, csordaszellem, szűklátókörűség, a múlt feledése, önromboló büszkeség, az esztétika hiánya.

Ad Hominem - Nuclear Black Metal Kampf
Lyrics:
Cold rains of blood
Falling overnight
The persecuted mass
Is screaming of pain and despair
People running everywhere
The victory has begun
Unholy thoughts through deeds of wisdom
Human controlled intelligence
You're so corrupted, so complex
Making miracles
As the gods you had created
Look at what you've done
A dying world still praising tolerance
I vomit on your beliefs
On your future mongrel faggots sons
I hate you all

FREEMASONRY AND SECRET SOCIETIES,
P. 2: Skull & Bones
By DeVita Brown, Edited by Lee Warren
2000 PLIM Retreat, (c) 2000 PLIM REPORT, Vol. 8 #6

Introduction
Part One of this article primarily dealt with the secret society of the Freemasons and their history and influence in the United States. Before examining any more aspects of a secret society, one has to first understand the basic purpose of Yahshua the Messiah and His Mission.
• Many secret societies want to establish a “utopian kingdom” upon earth not realizing the spiritual kingdom of Yahshua has already been established at Pentecost. However, because it was established first in the hearts and minds of men, it is invisible to carnal men on the earth. The Messiah told the Pharisees: “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of Elohim (God) is within you (Lk. 17:20-21).”
• No organization can bring true divine peace to the earth or within men’s hearts and minds. The Messiah told His disciples: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (Jn. 14:27-28 NKJV).” Yet many secret organizations believe that if all nations are united as one government body, then mankind will have peace.
Due to the space in this magazine, the focus of this article will be on one secret society: the American Skull and Bones.
One of the most influential secret societies in America is Yale University’s Skull and Bones (S&B). Although most Americans have no knowledge of the organization, thisYale‑based secret society has spread its tentacles throughout the highest echelons of government, finance, law and education, to name a few industries. The Order of Skull and Bones has existed for over 150 years and has furnished the United States with three Presidents: President Taft (27th 1909-1913), President George Bush (41st 1989-1992) and his recently elected son, President (43rd) George Bush Jr. There has been at least ten Senators and also numerous Congressmen and Supreme Court judges that were members of the Skull and Bones.
What is the intent of this article?
The intent of this article will be to briefly explore the tentacles of the Skull and Bones organization and its origin.
Two of the main reference sources will be an article by Kris Millegan called “The Boodle Boys” at http://www.parascope.com/articles/0997/skullbones.htm and Antony C. Sutton’s book America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones.
Dr. Sutton is the foremost authority on the Skull and Bones. He received a book while he was a professor at Stanford University in 1983. One of its members who was very disgusted with the behavior of the Skull and Bones anomalously sent Dr. Sutton the membership book and gave Professor Sutton twenty-four hours to copy the book and return it. The book contained a secretive membership list and information on Skull and Bones members. It was published in 1986.
On page 27, this book revealed famous politicians and figures that are “Skull and Bones men.” The membership includes Prescott Bush - George Bush’s grandfather, George Bush - former President, and his son, George W., newly elected President.
Origin and Founder of the Skull and Bones
William H. Russell received permission to set up Chapter 322 on the Yale campus from the German secret society, while he was studying for a year in Germany. Chapter 322 is the only branch of the Skull and Bones that we know about in the USA.
William H. Russell and Alphonso Taft, the father of president Taft, formed the Skull and Bones in 1832-33 on the Yale University campus. There was a total of fifteen class members that formed the “The Order of the Scull and Bones,” later changed to “The Order of the Skull and Bones.” It is also known as the “Order” and the “Brotherhood of Death.” More formally for legal purposes, The Order was incorporated as The Russell Trust in 1856.
Membership in the Skull and Bones
One cannot ask to join this organization. Membership is by invitation only. Members of the Skull and Bones are selected or “tapped” from the junior class of Yale University. Each year seniors who are members of the Bones, select 15 members from the junior class. Selections are made after personal information, which includes family history, is gathered on each new member.
It is alleged that new members of the Skull and Bones have to go through some initiation rituals. Kris Millegan in his article on the Skull and Bones entitled Boodle Boys states that their rituals are similar to those of the Illuminati, which we will discuss in future articles. In 1876 a group called the “File and Claw” broke into the Skull and Bones’ building called the Tomb on the Yale campus (see p. 32). Their meetings were held in this windowless building built by the Skull and Bones. The break-in by a rival group revealed something about the Skull and Bones’ rituals, which allowed Mr. Millegan to show the similarities between the Skull and Bones and the Illuminati.
Some researchers say each initiate is given $15,000 and a grandfather clock. The student is referred to as knight. Kris Millegan said that new members are given a new name, which is usually Greek.
Families of the Skull and Bones
Now the majority of the Bones members are from White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) families. These are the most powerful, elite families in America who were some of the initial settlers to come to America from England. Some of these names are immediately recognizable, such as Lord, Whitney, Taft, Jay, Bundy, Harriman, Pinchot, Rockefeller, Goodyear, Sloane, Stimson, Phelps, Perkins, Pillsbury, Kellogg, Vanderbilt, Bush, Lovett and Weyerhauser.
These are primarily New England eastern establishment families, who intermarry and have a great deal of influence in government. Minorities and women were brought into the Order and the business within the last 25-30 years.
Skull and Bones is not Fraternity
Antony C. Sutton, in his book America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones states: “The Order is not just another campus Greek letter fraternal society with passwords and handgrips, common to most campuses.” Sutton said the Skull and Bones is a secret society for each member must swear to an oath of secrecy. “Chapter 322 is a secret society whose members are sworn to silence. It only exists on the Yale campus. It has rules. It has ceremonial rites. It is not at all happy with prying probing citizens known among initiates as outsiders or vandals. Its members always deny membership... Above all the Order is powerful, unbelievably powerful.”
The book Hope of the Wicked by Ted Flynn reveals some of the founding fifteen members of the Order and their influence in politics. Rufus Hart entered the Ohio State Senate. Aasel Hooker Lewis entered the Ohio Legislature. Samuel Marshall entered the Illinois State Legislature. William Taft was the only man to become President of the United States and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Fredrick Mather entered the New York Legislature.
Philosophy of the Skull & Bones
Far from being a campus fun-house, the group is geared more toward the success of its members in their post-collegiate endeavours. “Historically, operations of The Order have concentrated on society, how to change society in a specific manner towards a specific goal: a New World Order. We know the elements in society that will have to be changed in order to bring about this New World order, ...
They have planned and orchestrated every major historical event for centuries, including fomenting revolutions, wars, and subversive movements that they benefit from and which weakens the nations, etc.
These elite who manipulate both the so‑called “right” and the so‑called “left” have deliberately created the current world situation. By controlling the resulting “synthesis” ‑‑ the end result of Hegelian “thesis” and “antithesis” ‑‑ a Globalist New World Order is produced. You can call it techno‑fascism or techno‑feudalism, but the result is the same ‑‑ a global consolidation and mega‑corporate transnational centralization of power, capital and resources.
And how does it work? By using “managed conflict” or “crisis management.” A crisis or problem is produced. Then the crisis is “managed” and the problem is “solved” with an outcome that is invariably favorable to the goals and agendas of the Global Power Elite.” America’s Secret Establishment, by Antony C. Sutton, pg. 31-32.
Influence of Skull & Bones In Finance and Foundations
There are many well-known Wall Street investment firms that were formed by members of the Skull and Bones family, such as Harriman, Payne, and Whitney. Many of these firms are household names and have been very influential in the history of United States. Due to the space we will just discuss them with some important facts.
Today one of the largest and oldest banks on Wall Street is Morgan-Guaranty Trust. It was created by a number of bank mergers over that last 130 years. The Guaranty Trust Company was the initial parent company formed in 1864 and the initial capital that formed this company came from the following families: Vanderbilt (S&B family), Rockefeller, Whitney (S&B family), and Harriman (S&B family).
The Harriman family started the Union Pacific Railroad, which was very successful. Members of the family started the W. A. Harriman investment firm on Wall Street that later merged with Brown Brothers, which was a private international banking firm. This new firm was called Brown Brothers, Harriman. According to Ted Flynn’s book Hope for the Wicked this new firm brought in nine partners who were S&B.
One of the most famous partners of this firm was Prescott Bush (initiated into the Skull and Bones 1917). He was the father of former President George Bush senior and the grandfather of President George Bush Jr., who was also made a partner of this firm.
Many Skull and Bones members of the Brown Brothers, Harriman and the Morgan Guaranty Trust helped to finance Hitler and the Russian Revolution. Kris Millegan’s website on Skull & Bones said the Federal government seized stock of the Union Bank ten months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The Union Bank was used as a front to trade with Hitler. Many S&B members owned stock in this bank and were members of the board of director. Prescott Bush was a director of this bank and the Harrimans owned about a third of the stock.
Kris Millegan said the following about the S&B aiding the Russian Revolution in 1917. “Averell invested in the USSR soon after the revolution in defiance of federal laws and regulations. The investment firms, Guaranty Trust and Brown Brothers, Harriman—both dominated by “Bonesmen”—were involved in the early financing of Communist Russia. They financed industries, established banks and developed oil and mineral resources. (http://www.ctrl.org/boodleboys/boodleboys1.html).” These are just a few examples of the S&B influence in the affairs of the world.
Influence of Skull & Bones in Politics
Although a secret organization, the Skull and Bones has exerted an enormous influence in the politics and foreign policy of this country for at least 150 years. The only way this can be proven, since many of the motives and records are secret, is to examine the political appointments of various presidents. A pattern of power is revealed when Skull and Bones members are identified as filling many of these appointments. Kris Millegan’s web site The Bobble Boys: http://www.ctrl.org/boodleboys/boodleboys1.html reveals a few examples. He quotes historian and special assistant to JFK, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. “These men helped establish a distinguished network connecting Wall Street, Washington, worthy foundations and proper clubs. The New York and legal community was the heart of the American Establishment. Its household deities were Henry L. Stimson and Elihu Root* ; its present leaders, Robert A. Lovett and John J. McCloy; its front organizations, the Rockefeller, Ford and Carnegie foundations and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). “
William Taft (initiated into Skull and Bones in 1878) was elected president of the U.S. in 1909 and President Harding appointed him Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1921, which he served until his death in 1930.
Henry L. Stimson (initiated into the Skull and Bones 1888) was appointed to seven high government positions by seven presidents. His first appointment was Secretary of War by President Taft. His last appointment was Secretary of War under President Roosevelt and Truman. Mr. Millegan states at his web site: “He was “ultimately responsible” for the internment of Japanese-American citizens in WWII and oversaw the Manhattan Project, America’s atomic bomb program. Stimson also took credit for swaying Truman into dropping “the bomb” on Japan.”
In the JFK administration Skull and Bones members played an important role in dictating policy. According to the paper entitled George Bush, Skull & Bones and the New World Order by Paul Goldstein & Jeffrey Steinberg, it states that Kennedy had personally asked Robert A. Lovett, a partner in the Wall Street investment firm of Brown Brothers, to join his Cabinet. Robert A. Lovett did not want to become a part of JFK’s administration. Instead, he recommended a number of Bonesmen into the critical posts. McGeorge Bundy was appointed Kennedy’s National Security Adviser. Averell Harriman was made Under Secretary of State for Asian Affairs, a position that placed him in charge of many of the most critical decisions along with the disaster in Vietnam. William Bundy remained in a senior post at CIA (see website http://www.parascope.com/articles/0997/whitepaper.htm).
These men and others in JFK’s administration had more control over foreign policy than JFK did as president. There was a network of secret societies besides Skull and Bones, such as Council of Foreign Affairs (CFR) that also dictated policy.
Two quotes in the book Rule by Secrecy by Jim Marrs confirms this. Special Advisor to JFK John K. Galbraith said: “Those of us who had worked for the Kennedy election were tolerated in the government for that reason and had say, but foreign policy was still with the Council of Foreign Relation people (p. 127).” The Former Ambassador to Saigon, Frederick F. Nolting said: “The axis of Lodge (CFR) and Harriman (CFR) was too strong for President Kennedy to thwart or overcome (p. 130).”
These are just a few instances of the CFR’s influence in the world of U.S. politics. This should be proof to the skeptic that there are secret organizations that dictate polices of the country without the consent of the American people.
Influence of Skull & Bones in Education
The stealth and cunning control Skull and Bones members have over the direction and foundation of education in America, especially higher education, is frightening. In fact it is impossible to write about the true history of education without including the Skull and Bones members who directed it.
Many problems that exist today in the American educational system can be traced back to the Bones’ socialist agenda. It was the Order that determined the basic philosophy of education and produced John Dewy, who is considered the father of American education. John Dewey stated in 1899: “Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming where everyone is interdependent.” So the purpose of education 100 years ago was to encourage and influence the children to work in the New World Order.
There were two Bonesmen who were very instrument in sitting up higher education in America. They were Daniel Gilman (initiated in Skull and Bones 1852) and Timothy Dwight (initiated in Skull and Bones ’49). According to an article by Kris Millegan entitled The Order of Skull and Bones (http://www.parascope.com/articles/0997/skullbones.htm), he states that Gilman was very instrumental in getting the Morrill Land Bill through Congress which President Lincoln signed.
This bill donated land to the state colleges for agriculture and science. Yale was the first college to take advantage of this bill. Now Gilman was the first president of the University of California. He also helped found The John Hopkins University and was its first president.
According to the book Hope for the Wicked, Daniel Gilman hired the philosopher George S. Morris, Ph.D. who was John Dewey’s teacher at The John Hopkins University. Professor Morris taught the Hegelian philosophy. It states that “…education was not meant to be child-centered, but rather State-centered. For Hegel, the child has no value as an individual except as he or she performs a function of society (p. 65).” This was the foundation for Dewey’s philosophy in America education. Dewey “believes that the child does not go to school to develop individual talents but rather are prepared as “units” in an organic society (p. 65).”
Professor Morris was also the first president of the Carnegie Institution and was involved in the founding of the Peabody, Slater and Russell Sage Foundations.
Kris Millegan describes another influential Bonesman. “Andrew D. White, was the first president of Cornell University (which received all of New York’s share of the Land Grant College Act), U.S. Minister to Russia, U.S. Ambassador to Berlin and first president of the American Historical Association. White was also Chairman of the American delegation to the first Hague Conference in 1899, which established an international judiciary.”
Antony C. Sutton writes about the S&B’s great influence in various fields and how they got this control in his book America’s Secret Establishment. He states: “How is this accomplished? By Bones members and their colleagues either founding or controlling the foundations - i.e. - They got all the big ones - Carnegie, Ford, Peabody, Russell Sage, etc. Their goal was to be first to get into these foundations then to steer its future direction (pg. 27).”… “Among academic associations the American Historical Association, the American Economic Association, the American Chemical Society, and the American Psychological Association were all started by members of The Order or persons close to The Order. These are key associations for the conditioning of society.” Finally, the Skull and Bonesmen have caused numerous changes in society by controlling many of the large foundations such as the Ford Foundation, etc.
Dr. James W. Wardner in his book Unholy Alliance sums up the Order of Skull and Bones’ areas of influence as follows (149-50):
1. The Order founded the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
2. The Order promoted the Bolshevik Revolution.
3. The Order has influenced the seminaries.
4. The Order has control of education.
5. The Order has links to the Federal Council of Churches.
6. The Order has as its member - George Bush.
7. The Order has control of the CIA.
8. The Order began and controls the in Peace Research Institute.
9. The Order founded the Institute for Policy Studies
10. The Order controls both the” conservative” Republican elements and the “liberal” Democratic elements.
11. The Order has control of Masonry.
12. The Order finances Communism.
13. The Order financed Hitler.
14. The Order with its European counterparts control international banking.

Introduction
Part One of this article primarily dealt with the secret society of the Freemasons and their history and influence in the United States. Before examining any more aspects of a secret society, one has to first understand the basic purpose of Yahshua the Messiah and His Mission.
• Many secret societies want to establish a “utopian kingdom” upon earth not realizing the spiritual kingdom of Yahshua has already been established at Pentecost. However, because it was established first in the hearts and minds of men, it is invisible to carnal men on the earth. The Messiah told the Pharisees: “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of Elohim (God) is within you (Lk. 17:20-21).”
• No organization can bring true divine peace to the earth or within men’s hearts and minds. The Messiah told His disciples: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (Jn. 14:27-28 NKJV).” Yet many secret organizations believe that if all nations are united as one government body, then mankind will have peace.
Due to the space in this magazine, the focus of this article will be on one secret society: the American Skull and Bones.
One of the most influential secret societies in America is Yale University’s Skull and Bones (S&B). Although most Americans have no knowledge of the organization, thisYale‑based secret society has spread its tentacles throughout the highest echelons of government, finance, law and education, to name a few industries. The Order of Skull and Bones has existed for over 150 years and has furnished the United States with three Presidents: President Taft (27th 1909-1913), President George Bush (41st 1989-1992) and his recently elected son, President (43rd) George Bush Jr. There has been at least ten Senators and also numerous Congressmen and Supreme Court judges that were members of the Skull and Bones.
What is the intent of this article?
The intent of this article will be to briefly explore the tentacles of the Skull and Bones organization and its origin.
Two of the main reference sources will be an article by Kris Millegan called “The Boodle Boys” at http://www.parascope.com/articles/0997/skullbones.htm and Antony C. Sutton’s book America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones.
Dr. Sutton is the foremost authority on the Skull and Bones. He received a book while he was a professor at Stanford University in 1983. One of its members who was very disgusted with the behavior of the Skull and Bones anomalously sent Dr. Sutton the membership book and gave Professor Sutton twenty-four hours to copy the book and return it. The book contained a secretive membership list and information on Skull and Bones members. It was published in 1986.
On page 27, this book revealed famous politicians and figures that are “Skull and Bones men.” The membership includes Prescott Bush - George Bush’s grandfather, George Bush - former President, and his son, George W., newly elected President.
Origin and Founder of the Skull and Bones
William H. Russell received permission to set up Chapter 322 on the Yale campus from the German secret society, while he was studying for a year in Germany. Chapter 322 is the only branch of the Skull and Bones that we know about in the USA.
William H. Russell and Alphonso Taft, the father of president Taft, formed the Skull and Bones in 1832-33 on the Yale University campus. There was a total of fifteen class members that formed the “The Order of the Scull and Bones,” later changed to “The Order of the Skull and Bones.” It is also known as the “Order” and the “Brotherhood of Death.” More formally for legal purposes, The Order was incorporated as The Russell Trust in 1856.
Membership in the Skull and Bones
One cannot ask to join this organization. Membership is by invitation only. Members of the Skull and Bones are selected or “tapped” from the junior class of Yale University. Each year seniors who are members of the Bones, select 15 members from the junior class. Selections are made after personal information, which includes family history, is gathered on each new member.
It is alleged that new members of the Skull and Bones have to go through some initiation rituals. Kris Millegan in his article on the Skull and Bones entitled Boodle Boys states that their rituals are similar to those of the Illuminati, which we will discuss in future articles. In 1876 a group called the “File and Claw” broke into the Skull and Bones’ building called the Tomb on the Yale campus (see p. 32). Their meetings were held in this windowless building built by the Skull and Bones. The break-in by a rival group revealed something about the Skull and Bones’ rituals, which allowed Mr. Millegan to show the similarities between the Skull and Bones and the Illuminati.
Some researchers say each initiate is given $15,000 and a grandfather clock. The student is referred to as knight. Kris Millegan said that new members are given a new name, which is usually Greek.
Families of the Skull and Bones
Now the majority of the Bones members are from White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) families. These are the most powerful, elite families in America who were some of the initial settlers to come to America from England. Some of these names are immediately recognizable, such as Lord, Whitney, Taft, Jay, Bundy, Harriman, Pinchot, Rockefeller, Goodyear, Sloane, Stimson, Phelps, Perkins, Pillsbury, Kellogg, Vanderbilt, Bush, Lovett and Weyerhauser.
These are primarily New England eastern establishment families, who intermarry and have a great deal of influence in government. Minorities and women were brought into the Order and the business within the last 25-30 years.
Skull and Bones is not Fraternity
Antony C. Sutton, in his book America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones states: “The Order is not just another campus Greek letter fraternal society with passwords and handgrips, common to most campuses.” Sutton said the Skull and Bones is a secret society for each member must swear to an oath of secrecy. “Chapter 322 is a secret society whose members are sworn to silence. It only exists on the Yale campus. It has rules. It has ceremonial rites. It is not at all happy with prying probing citizens known among initiates as outsiders or vandals. Its members always deny membership... Above all the Order is powerful, unbelievably powerful.”
The book Hope of the Wicked by Ted Flynn reveals some of the founding fifteen members of the Order and their influence in politics. Rufus Hart entered the Ohio State Senate. Aasel Hooker Lewis entered the Ohio Legislature. Samuel Marshall entered the Illinois State Legislature. William Taft was the only man to become President of the United States and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Fredrick Mather entered the New York Legislature.
Philosophy of the Skull & Bones
Far from being a campus fun-house, the group is geared more toward the success of its members in their post-collegiate endeavours. “Historically, operations of The Order have concentrated on society, how to change society in a specific manner towards a specific goal: a New World Order. We know the elements in society that will have to be changed in order to bring about this New World order, ...
They have planned and orchestrated every major historical event for centuries, including fomenting revolutions, wars, and subversive movements that they benefit from and which weakens the nations, etc.
These elite who manipulate both the so‑called “right” and the so‑called “left” have deliberately created the current world situation. By controlling the resulting “synthesis” ‑‑ the end result of Hegelian “thesis” and “antithesis” ‑‑ a Globalist New World Order is produced. You can call it techno‑fascism or techno‑feudalism, but the result is the same ‑‑ a global consolidation and mega‑corporate transnational centralization of power, capital and resources.
And how does it work? By using “managed conflict” or “crisis management.” A crisis or problem is produced. Then the crisis is “managed” and the problem is “solved” with an outcome that is invariably favorable to the goals and agendas of the Global Power Elite.” America’s Secret Establishment, by Antony C. Sutton, pg. 31-32.
Influence of Skull & Bones In Finance and Foundations
There are many well-known Wall Street investment firms that were formed by members of the Skull and Bones family, such as Harriman, Payne, and Whitney. Many of these firms are household names and have been very influential in the history of United States. Due to the space we will just discuss them with some important facts.
Today one of the largest and oldest banks on Wall Street is Morgan-Guaranty Trust. It was created by a number of bank mergers over that last 130 years. The Guaranty Trust Company was the initial parent company formed in 1864 and the initial capital that formed this company came from the following families: Vanderbilt (S&B family), Rockefeller, Whitney (S&B family), and Harriman (S&B family).
The Harriman family started the Union Pacific Railroad, which was very successful. Members of the family started the W. A. Harriman investment firm on Wall Street that later merged with Brown Brothers, which was a private international banking firm. This new firm was called Brown Brothers, Harriman. According to Ted Flynn’s book Hope for the Wicked this new firm brought in nine partners who were S&B.
One of the most famous partners of this firm was Prescott Bush (initiated into the Skull and Bones 1917). He was the father of former President George Bush senior and the grandfather of President George Bush Jr., who was also made a partner of this firm.
Many Skull and Bones members of the Brown Brothers, Harriman and the Morgan Guaranty Trust helped to finance Hitler and the Russian Revolution. Kris Millegan’s website on Skull & Bones said the Federal government seized stock of the Union Bank ten months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The Union Bank was used as a front to trade with Hitler. Many S&B members owned stock in this bank and were members of the board of director. Prescott Bush was a director of this bank and the Harrimans owned about a third of the stock.
Kris Millegan said the following about the S&B aiding the Russian Revolution in 1917. “Averell invested in the USSR soon after the revolution in defiance of federal laws and regulations. The investment firms, Guaranty Trust and Brown Brothers, Harriman—both dominated by “Bonesmen”—were involved in the early financing of Communist Russia. They financed industries, established banks and developed oil and mineral resources. (http://www.ctrl.org/boodleboys/boodleboys1.html).” These are just a few examples of the S&B influence in the affairs of the world.
Influence of Skull & Bones in Politics
Although a secret organization, the Skull and Bones has exerted an enormous influence in the politics and foreign policy of this country for at least 150 years. The only way this can be proven, since many of the motives and records are secret, is to examine the political appointments of various presidents. A pattern of power is revealed when Skull and Bones members are identified as filling many of these appointments. Kris Millegan’s web site The Bobble Boys: http://www.ctrl.org/boodleboys/boodleboys1.html reveals a few examples. He quotes historian and special assistant to JFK, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. “These men helped establish a distinguished network connecting Wall Street, Washington, worthy foundations and proper clubs. The New York and legal community was the heart of the American Establishment. Its household deities were Henry L. Stimson and Elihu Root* ; its present leaders, Robert A. Lovett and John J. McCloy; its front organizations, the Rockefeller, Ford and Carnegie foundations and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). “
William Taft (initiated into Skull and Bones in 1878) was elected president of the U.S. in 1909 and President Harding appointed him Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1921, which he served until his death in 1930.
Henry L. Stimson (initiated into the Skull and Bones 1888) was appointed to seven high government positions by seven presidents. His first appointment was Secretary of War by President Taft. His last appointment was Secretary of War under President Roosevelt and Truman. Mr. Millegan states at his web site: “He was “ultimately responsible” for the internment of Japanese-American citizens in WWII and oversaw the Manhattan Project, America’s atomic bomb program. Stimson also took credit for swaying Truman into dropping “the bomb” on Japan.”
In the JFK administration Skull and Bones members played an important role in dictating policy. According to the paper entitled George Bush, Skull & Bones and the New World Order by Paul Goldstein & Jeffrey Steinberg, it states that Kennedy had personally asked Robert A. Lovett, a partner in the Wall Street investment firm of Brown Brothers, to join his Cabinet. Robert A. Lovett did not want to become a part of JFK’s administration. Instead, he recommended a number of Bonesmen into the critical posts. McGeorge Bundy was appointed Kennedy’s National Security Adviser. Averell Harriman was made Under Secretary of State for Asian Affairs, a position that placed him in charge of many of the most critical decisions along with the disaster in Vietnam. William Bundy remained in a senior post at CIA (see website http://www.parascope.com/articles/0997/whitepaper.htm).
These men and others in JFK’s administration had more control over foreign policy than JFK did as president. There was a network of secret societies besides Skull and Bones, such as Council of Foreign Affairs (CFR) that also dictated policy.
Two quotes in the book Rule by Secrecy by Jim Marrs confirms this. Special Advisor to JFK John K. Galbraith said: “Those of us who had worked for the Kennedy election were tolerated in the government for that reason and had say, but foreign policy was still with the Council of Foreign Relation people (p. 127).” The Former Ambassador to Saigon, Frederick F. Nolting said: “The axis of Lodge (CFR) and Harriman (CFR) was too strong for President Kennedy to thwart or overcome (p. 130).”
These are just a few instances of the CFR’s influence in the world of U.S. politics. This should be proof to the skeptic that there are secret organizations that dictate polices of the country without the consent of the American people.

Nazism, Satanism, Gay Masturbation: Bush Family Traditions 1
The Scull & Bones orgaization which practices satanic rituals, and gay group masterbation ceremonies is fundamental in the Bush family history. This clip from the documentary JFKii shows the Bush connection the the assasination of JFK. It is important to know that Prescott Bush, father of George Herbert Walker Bush ran Union Bank in New York before it was shut down at the begining of World War II as it was a Nazi money laundering bank. Brown Brothers Harriman placed Prescott Bush at the head of this bank to do the bidding for Fritz Thyssen who bankrolled his favorite politician Adolf Hitler and the Nazi war efforts. Please search The McCormack-Dickstein Committee (1934-1935) for further information on the early corruption of the Bush family.

What makes a Witch a Witch?
Amerikai Tiszaeszlár?
A commentary by Lillee Allee
It is sad that Salem, Mass, "the Witch City" again hits national news with a rather embarrassing story. As if the psychic licensing controversy was not enough to put the spotlight on the merchantability of Witches and Witchcraft, now we are told about a side issue. This time, individuals allegedly cut up a raccoon, don black robes, and smear the remains of said racoon on two storefronts. Accusations were thrown around like white on rice, but finally two people are arrested for the deed.
It should stop there. Sick people perform sick acts every day, Unfortunately, we see that certain claims by one of the individiuals who allegedly performed this act are being taken seriously.
Claim Number One:
According to the August 22 article in the Salem News written by Bruno Matarazzo Jr., Sharon Graham who was arraigned for this incident, said that she was "the high priestess of the Salem Witches." Since she used this term in advertising for her own gain, is this simply puffery, or is there any proof of her position? I have my own suspicions, but I leave this to the news reporters in Salem to further research. If she is a priestess of any recognized group, then a simple check of the records in Boston will reveal whether or not she is a minister and whether or not there is such a group as "the Salem Witches." I personally do not believe that she was a member of any recognized religious organization. I am unaware of any group called the "Salem Witches" that is legitimate and in Salem, Mass. Certainly, a reasonable person can understand that there are way too many Witches in Salem for any one person to be a high priestess of the whole community. The fact that she felt she could speak for all the others may also indicate delusions of grandeur.
From my own research, I can comfortably state that she was once a member of a class for the priesthood from a recognized tradition of Witchcraft, but she never completed the class. I think it is a safe conclusion that her interest in Witchcraft began and ended with her interest in gaining money as a psychic in Salem. I have not seen her name on any conference,convention or Pagan Pride day roster. I have never seen her author an article or book in the new age movement or the occult category, In fact, I have not seen her name outside of commercial ventures, I have seen her name around during October in Salem. You may draw your own conclusions.
Is it a coincidence that the same two stores that were targeted are both owned by individuals who did not want any licensed readers who may have questionable credentials, training or backgrounds? Is it a coincidence that there seem to be no other connection to this woman and the two shops or their owners?
There is also the issue of whether she was a "card-carrying Satanist" as she claimed to many, including myself. Wearing a baphoment does not make one a Satanist anymore than carrying a cross makes one a Christian. John Allee states that she said she was a member of the largest Satanist organization, but neither or us saw her "red card" nor did we see any other card that would state she was clergy or a member of any organization.
If we choose to believe her claims, then one only has to look at the Satanic Rules of the Earth, written by Anton Lavey, founder of the Church of Satan. He stated quite clearly that Church of Satan members do not harm animals or children. She can claim what she wants, yet right now her behaviors are not appropriate for anyone, including a Satanist..
Some of those interviewed by the Boston television channels claim the use of the raccoon to be significant. This is simply erroneous in this case. We know there is no Satanic correlation, and Witches do not harm animals in any way. It was Gerald Gardner who popularized the Wiican Reed which clearly states"harm none." While animals are used in rituals of African-Carribbean magic, there is no evidence that raccoons are to be used this way in any of the traditions. Ms. Graham did not self-dentify as Carribbean - but as a "Satanic Witch."
Sadly, this adds more fuel to the fire regarding Witchcraft, and there are hundreds of other Witches in Salem who will go on record to say that this act is not to be identified with Witchcraft. Most Witches will go to great lengths to protect animals, not to use them in a pathetic scare tactic. Most pagans believe in following the laws of the land, and would never condone this type of hate crime. Unfortunately, this is just another example of the occult being used as an excuse for bad behavior. The tragedy is that she is damaging the good works of Witches everywhere by identifying herself as a Witch.
She also happens to have blonde hair. I can assure you her actions do not speak for the actions of any other blondes but herself. Instead of focusing on what these people claim to be, it is time to focus on what would cause an individual to act like this. It is time to look at the individuals allegedly responsible and not blame a group of people for her bad behavior.
We have seen many "Christian" individuals go to jail after being convicted for horrible crimes such as rape and murder. These acts should not and do not reflect on the entire Christian community or on Christians in general. We have seen acts done in the name of religion. Yet these are crimes committed by extremists, and again can reflect on a whole religious belief system. It is clear that this act was not done in the name of any religion. Yet the situation can be taken a step further. I can tell you I am a purple unicorn, that does not mean that I am.
Unfortunately, because the pagan religions and spiritualities rely on self-identification these situations can and will occur. Before the finger pointing, however, a check on the person's activities and organizations will often bear the fruit of truth.
In 1692, people were accused of witchcraft due to their unpopularity in the community. Let the lesson in Salem in 2007 be that anyone may claim to be a Witch, but a quick look at their actions and beliefs may prove otherwise.
