The episode examines the influence of the secret society Skull & Bones, founded at Yale University in 1832, on American society. Author Antony C. Sutton argues that the society has shaped American education, finance, and politics for over a century, influencing historical events such as the Bolshevik Revolution, World War II, and the Cold War. The book traces the genealogy of its members, revealing connections between prominent families and the Order, and examines the methods used to maintain power, such as control of the media and foundations. Sutton argues that the Order has pursued a strategy of “Hegelian dialectics,” creating artificial conflicts (such as left and right) to further its control. Written in an academic style and filled with citations and footnotes, the text provides a critical analysis of American history through the lens of the secret society Skull & Bones.
