surprised that Reagan/Bush allowed the proliferation of Nuclear material. But what is truly disturbing is how much power has been taken by so few and for so long. It does explain why we the people never really have any impact on our government on issues like this.

I remember when Kerry and Bush were running for president, people noted that both had been members of Skull & Bones. I believe it may have been Tim Russert who asked Kerry about his membership and hoped that finally it would be addressed, but Kerry avoided the question which only confirmed for me that there is really something very sinister about this 'secret society' frankly and truly disappointing that a Dem was a part of it.

Thanks for all the work you do to keep us informed, it is truly appreciated.

Amazing info, thanks! Puzzledtraveller Feb 2013 #1
