In this Oddcast we continue the dive on Yale's senior year only fraternity, the very secretive Order of Skull, and Bones. We pick up from part one, and discuss more symbolism, influential members, and possible ties. We also look at several other prominent fraternities, and discuss the net worth of their trusts, and their most notable members, and connections as well. Thank you for your continued support, and i look forward to bringing you more content very soon.   See Also: The Oddcast-The Order of Death Pt. 1 Ep. 104 The Order of Death Pt.1 (podbean.com)   Cheers, and Blessings   The Odd Man Out   Help Support The Show, & Get Early, & Extra Content   Odd Man Out Patreon https://www.patreon.com/theoddmanout   Memento Mori “Remember That You Have To Die”   The society was known to its members as the Eulogian Club: eulogia is Greek for “a blessing” and is applied in ecclesiastical usage to the object blessed.   Fleshing Out Skull and Bones P. 192 Bones meanings are held at the tomb which is a two-story building without windows and who's walls on the outside are covered with Ivy. That's where the term Ivy League came from. The tomb is located to the east of the New Haven Green about 100 yards from the federal courthouse the Yale University owns the majority of land in downtown New Haven almost all of the university buildings are interconnected by a series of underground tunnels so visiting Bonesman never need approach the tombs from the street.   Room B, called 322, is the "sanctum sanctorum" of the temple. Its distinguishing feature is a facsimile of the Bones pin, handsomely inlaid in the black marble hearth, just below the mantel, and also inlaid in marble is the motto: "Rari Quippe Boni," in old English text. The motto is said to come from the passage by Juvenal: ["Good men forsooth are scarce: there are hardly as many as there are gates of Thebes or mouths of the rich Nile."--Juvenal, Sat., xiii. 26.]   "The order was incorporated in 1856 under the name “Russell Trust Association.” By special act of the state legislature in 1943, its trustees are exempted from the normal requirement of filing corporate reports with the Connecticut Secretary of State. As of 1978, all business of the Russell Trust was handled by its lone trustee, Brown Brothers Harriman partner John B. Madden Jr. Madden started with Brown Brothers Harriman in 1946, under senior partner Prescott Bush, George Bush's father."   A grandfather clock is presented to each Knight upon initiation and stays with him throughout his life as a memento of what is called "the Bones experience."   Iserbyt- Secret Societies https://youtu.be/cFQD1bAsUlw David Allen Richards Skulls, & Keys-The history of Yale secret societies https://youtu.be/4J4mRqND9aI Ron Rosenbaum-S, & B Peice https://youtu.be/apzwObT0qNM Alexandria Robbins/Secrets Of The Tomb Lecture https://youtu.be/KOKGt9Bl2wM Founded in the fall of 1996 by Rabbi Shmully Hecht, Ben Karp, "Cory Booker" and Michael Alexander as an intellectual salon and Jewish leadership society, the group that started out as a social club for would-be and current leaders of the Yale community has blossomed into an organization recognized the world over, yet with a decidedly secular twist. "There was no question that Eliezer was a Jewish association," says New York Times critic at large Edward Rothstein, a member of the society, "but also no question that along with its elements of religious observance and allusion, the aura was nonsectarian intellectual." http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2057526,00.html Eliezer now called Shabtai Shabtai has deep connections to Israeli political, military, and judicial figures and hosts regular off-the-record meetings and briefings on Israeli developments. Participants, many of whom have also been speakers and guests at Shabtai, include Aharon Barak, Elyakim Rubinstein, Hanan Melcer, Ehud Barak, Yuval Steinitz, Alex Lubotzky, Yoav Gallant, Daniel Taub, Ron Prosor, Danny Dayan, Ido Aharoni, Gideon Meir, and Yaakov Amidror, as well as other individuals like Gilad Shalit. International Jewish leaders meet regularly with Shabtai members to inspire their participation and receive their guidance on critical issues facing global Jewry. These have included Adin Steinsaltz, Ephraim Mirvis, Yanki Tauber, Tzvi Freeman, Emanuel Rackman, Sholom Dovber Lipskar, David Lincoln, James Ponet, Jacob Immanuel Schochet, Yitzchok Kogan, Y.Y. Jacobson, and Faivish Vogel, as well as many others.

John Kennedy and Mike Walsh interview Connecticut Secretary of State Denise Merrill regarding a host of voting issues present here in Connecticut and nationwide including mail-in ballots, voting on election day, counting ballots, voter fraud, and when we will know the election results.

Episode 195: Voting in America, compared to many other countries, is not easy. That’s always been true. Donald Trump’s relentless effort to undermine the vote in November, in this case by crippling the postal service and trying to make it impossible for ballots to be counted on time, is surely corrupt. But, the undermining of the vote is made easier by a rickety election system that has existed for decades. Miles Rapoport, a former Connecticut Secretary of State and, now, Senior Practice Fellow in American Democracy at Harvard’s Ash Center, talks to me about the threat to voting this Fall, what we can do and his bigger project to implement a national mandate that everyone must vote as a civic requirement. Support the Working Life Network here: www.patreon.com/WorkingLifePodcast and at ActBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/working-life-1 If you wanted to pick a country that has been ravaged for decades by economic, political and physical blows a grimly appropriate choice would be Haiti—a country that is the poorest place to live in the Western Hemisphere. Its people endured decades of autocratic rule under the Duvalier regimes, who looted the country. More recently, the scars of a 7.0 earthquake in 2010 still loom large because a desperately poor country always has less ability to cope with a natural disaster and, then, fully recover. Lauren Stewart, the Solidarity Center’s Regional Director for the Americas, joins me to tell the tale of a campaign by Haitian garment workers to survive the COVID-19 pandemic which has put many out of work.
