    I’m not super familiar with fraternity hazing antics but I don’t know if those work the same as what we conceptualize as cabal rituals. people seem to be more disturbed by say, the Freemasons doing stuff that just boils down to Christianity with cloaks. but can you educate me a little on Skull and Bones? search results regarding them are either full on NWO raving or completely sanitized

    I will add that what you describe applies fully to Jeffrey Epstein’s mansions and compounds. dude’s primary directive was to collect blackmail info. probably safe to assume that to his clients, it was all mutual

      There’s a decent Wikipedia entry on them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_Bones?wprov=sfti1

      Tl;dr is they are a secret society at Yale comprised of legacy kids (I believe both presidents Bush were members, for example) that has initiation rites that are supposed to be humiliating which creates a bond. Apparently they have changed quite a bit from their heyday in the first half of the twentieth century.

        I thought the Wikipedia page sounded sanitized but since you are the first person I’ve ever heard mention them, I’ll take your word on it’s accuracy. TIL more about secret societies
