Features: The USA is trapped in a deadly web woven by the Skull and Bones with power, wealth, and! The Skull and Bones is an elite secret society at Yale University in the USA, founded in 1832. Each year, the association selects 15 new members from third-year students who are either of distinguished lineage or exceptionally talented. Through long-term self-reproduction, this upper-class secret group has become, in essence, the "invisible empire" that actually rules the USA. Its power is immense, with almost all of the USA's financial power, political power, and the special powers of the CIA under its control. Important American aristocratic families, such as the Taft family, the Walker family, the Rockefeller family, the Harriman family, and the Bush family, all play pivotal roles in this "invisible empire." Notably, in the 2004 US presidential election, both candidates, Bush and Kerry, were members of the Skull and Bones. The association's meeting place is called the "Cemetery," a building with a basement in the style of ancient Greece and Egypt, with a rooftop capable of accommodating the association's own helicopters. The association's initiation ritual is mysterious and brutal; new members must kiss a skull inside the Cemetery. Early initiates were even required to wrestle naked in the mud to symbolize "death and rebirth." Once officially inducted, members are essentially given a useful "passport" on their life's journey. Members of the association have sworn to keep the secrets of the Skull and Bones, which has only added to its mystique. As a Yale alumnus, the author conducted interviews with over 100 Skull and Bones members and finally managed to unveil the mystery of the Skull and Bones—their network of mutual support and extensive connections has established an all-powerful, immensely influential Skull and Bones empire in the upper echelons of American society.
