The Order of the Skull and Bones is probably the most powerful WASP structure in America, and in fact, the most influential whatsoever to have ever existed on this side of the Atlantic. Their highly selective membership currently includes President GWB (and his father before him), 5 members of the current Bush administration, a supreme court judge, several known senators, dozens of personas of the intelligence community and of the finance world, ambassadors to Europe, etc. For an organization that has less than 700 members alive at any time, its quite the success. And in november, they'll have won the presidency for the 3rd time in 16 years for sure. Why? Because the only possible "electable" opposition to Bush is also a member; Knight Brother of Death John F. Kerry. Now, I'm not even going to get into the fact that they financed Hitler and now own and treasure his silverware, or that they are much more likely the true shadows behind the assasination of JFK, as that could stir polemics.
Here is my suggestion for a POD. When the order was established in 1832, there was alot of resistance at Yale from both the teachers and the students. Their alledged links to Illuminati made them very impopular, and there were several attempts to shut them down, or even make the organization illegal. A precedent had been established 35 years before when President Washington banished any groups associated to Illuminati in the USA.
Suppose it had worked, and this behemoth had never seen the day. Let us suppose, given that, that the vast influence they held was never concentrated with as much ease in a similar structure or organization. Without such a central group deciding to take upon it's shoulders "White man's burden, part Deux", how different would be America today, and in deed the world?
If theres any interest in the matter, I believe I could have ideas for a timeline.
