Executive Summary & Key Judgments
Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): While modern "control" is a matter of debate, the foundations of the American national security state and the funding mechanisms for the Pentagon (via Treasury and private investment banks) were largely designed and staffed by members of Skull and Bones. Their influence is most visible in the mid-20th century, where they established the "Wise Men" tradition—a revolving door between Yale, Wall Street, and the War Department.
Key Judgments:
- Foundational Architects: Key figures who transitioned the US to a permanent war economy—such as Henry Stimson and Robert Lovett—were lifelong "Bonesmen."
- The Brown Brothers Harriman Nexus: This specific investment bank acts as a "clearing house" for Bones members before they enter Treasury or Defense roles.
- Institutional Continuity: The Order specializes in Statecraft, not just politics. Their members often hold "Under-Secretary" or "Assistant" roles that remain stable across different Presidential administrations.
1. The Historical "Making" of the Defense-Financial Nexus
The link between the Treasury (money) and the Pentagon (spending) was solidified by a small group of Order 322 patriarchs who believed in "management by elite consensus."
The "Architects" of Defense Spending
- Henry L. Stimson (Class of 1888): Served as Secretary of War under Taft, FDR, and Truman. He oversaw the Manhattan Project and the transition to the Cold War military model [2.2] [5.2].
- Robert A. Lovett (Class of 1918): Secretary of Defense (1951-1953). A partner at Brown Brothers Harriman, he is considered the architect of the Cold War's massive defense spending protocols. He effectively merged Wall Street's capital management with the Pentagon's procurement needs [2.2] [1.3].
- Averell Harriman (Class of 1913): While often in State Department roles, his investment bank provided the financial scaffolding for the industrial expansion required for the World Wars [2.2].
2. The Financial Pipeline (Treasury & Private Banking)
Bonesmen often serve as the bridge between the Treasury's issuance of debt and the private banks that profit from it.
| Name | Role | Bones Class | Key Influence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Franklin MacVeagh | Secretary of the Treasury | 1862 | Established early corporate-treasury ties [5.1]. |
| Pierre Jay | 1st Chairman, FRB of NY | 1892 | Set the precedent for Yale influence at the Federal Reserve [5.2]. |
| Thomas Lee McClung | Treasurer of the US | 1892 | Directly managed the nation's physical funds [5.2]. |
| Steven Mnuchin | Secretary of the Treasury | 1985 | Oversaw the largest expansion of the national debt in history [1.2]. |
