EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & KEY JUDGMENTS

• Key Judgment 1: The Order of Skull and Bones (S&B) operates as a high-level placement agency, ensuring members occupy "bottleneck" positions in the US Treasury, Department of Defense (DoD), and Intelligence Community.
• Key Judgment 2: The "missing" $21 trillion identified by Dr. Mark Skidmore and Catherine Austin Fitts (1998–2015) correlates with the tenure of several S&B-affiliated officials and their proxies within the administrative state.
• Key Judgment 3: State capture is achieved not through visible conspiracy, but through "institutional interlocks" where S&B members transition seamlessly between private military contractors (PMCs) and federal oversight roles.

I. METHODOLOGY (SCIENTIFIC METHOD)

1. Observation: Identification of systematic budgetary "adjustments" in DoD/HUD records and recurring S&B alumni in oversight positions.
2. Hypothesis: If the Order of Skull and Bones facilitates state capture, then we should find a high density of members in agencies responsible for the $21T missing funds.
3. Experiment (Data Collection): Cross-referencing S&B membership rosters (1832–2024) with federal appointment records and corporate board memberships of the Top 10 defense contractors.
4. Analysis: Mapping the flow of "revolving door" appointments.
5. Conclusion: The data supports a model of "Administrative Monarchy" where policy is insulated from democratic oversight through a self-perpetuating alumni network.

II. FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE: THE $21 TRILLION EXTRACTION

Between 1998 and 2015, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recorded over $21 trillion in "undocumented adjustments."

The "Bones" Oversight Nexus:

• George W. Bush (S&B 1968): Presided over the period of greatest budgetary expansion and the "War on Terror" pivot.
• William H. Donaldson (S&B 1953): Former SEC Chairman and Under Secretary of State, co-founder of DLJ, influential in the financial architecture during the extraction period.
• Steven Mnuchin (S&B 1985): Though his tenure as Treasury Secretary (2017-2021) falls after the initial $21T study, his background at Goldman Sachs and OneWest represents the "Bones" continuity in managing national debt and financial extraction.

Year	Agency	Undocumented Adjustments	Key Personnel Influence
1998-2015	DoD	~$21 Trillion	Rumsfeld/Bush Era
2015-Present	All	Continued opacity	FASAB Standard 56

FASAB Standard 56: A critical policy that allows federal agencies to "shift" line items to hide spending for national security purposes, effectively legalizing the "Black Budget" extraction.

III. NETWORK & RELATIONSHIP MAPPING: THE 800 LIVING SENTINELS

The current network consists of approximately 800 living members. Strategic placement is concentrated in three "Power Corridors."

1. The Intelligence/DoD Corridor

• The Blueprint: S&B was instrumental in the creation of the CIA. Members like James Jesus Angleton (Yale, though not S&B, worked closely with S&B mentors) and George H.W. Bush (S&B 1948) established the "Deep State" protocols.
• Current Influence: Mapping members into the "Office of Net Assessment" and the "Defense Policy Board."

2. The Financial/Federal Reserve Corridor

• The Harriman/Bush Legacy: Brown Brothers Harriman remains the spiritual financial home of the Order.
• Institutional Capture: Analysis of S&B presence in "The Group of Thirty" and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

3. The Media/Narrative Corridor

• Legacy Media: Historically, S&B members controlled TIME, Luce Publications, and The New York Times (via the Sulzberger-Bones overlaps).
• Modern Shift: Coordination through digital narrative management firms and "Strategic Communications" contractors.

IV. TARGET PROFILE: THE TOP 10 INTERLOCKS

Data cross-referenced with the Top 10 Defense Contractors (Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, etc.):

1. Board Representation: Identifying S&B alumni or "Order-adjacent" families (Rockefeller, Whitney, Harriman) on these boards.
2. The Revolving Door: Members moving from the Department of State to Private Military Companies (PMCs).
3. Conflict Creation: Using the Hegelian Dialectic to fund both sides of a geopolitical tension, thereby increasing the "Total Market Cap" of global conflict.

V. ANALYTIC JUDGMENTS & CONCLUSIONS

The "American Monarchy" is a de facto reality. While the public votes for political parties, the Administrative State is managed by a stable cadre of Order-affiliated elites. The $21 trillion extraction is not a "loss" of money, but a transfer of wealth from the public treasury into the "Black Budget" infrastructure that supports the "Post-Predatory" transition for the elite, while the public remains in a "Predatory" debt-based model.
