Hamlet 3 - Retribution

Geronimo In Medicine Vestments


One hundred years ago this week, the great Apache scout Geronimo died of pneumonia while a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, I mean Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Now, his ghost is raising from the dead and is demanding retribution. A "habeus corpus" lawsuit to seek the return of Geronimo’s remains as well as punitive damages has been filed by twenty members of the Geronimo’s family against the Yale secret society Skull & Bones, senior federal government officials, and Yale University in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

During World War I, three privileged members of the Skull & Bones were stationed stateside at Ft. Sill -- including former Senator Prescott Bush, the patriarch of Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. Prescott revealed in a personal letter that he and the other two pirates reportedly raided Geronimo's grave, stealing his skull, some bones, and Geronimo's silver bridle.

What Prescott wrote happened to the skull, bones, and bridle has been called a rumor, a lie, and worse by members of the Yale University secret society. However, Yale Alumni Magazine in 2006 published excerpts of a different 1918 letter corroborating the story:

The skull of the worthy Geronimo the Terrible, exhumed from its tomb at Fort Sill by your club... is now safe inside the tomb ("tomb" is the building at Yale University's Skull and Bones) and bone together with his well worn femurs, bit and saddle horn.

The skull and femurs and other stolen items were alleged to have been taken to the secret society's tomb dungeon on the Yale's campus. The Apache relics are supposedly used in rituals practiced by the group, one of which is said to be kissing the skull of Geronimo as an initiation.

The Tomb

My personal sentiment is that to understand our current economic and political crises, which we are unable to really grasp, we need to look into this Yale Secret Society of Pirates. This one secret club has produced presidents, senators, high-ranking CIA officers, and generals of Wall Street. In the 17th and 18th Century when they "retired" to New York City, former pirates ostensibly became legitimate. Obviously, these upstart bastard businessmen sent their kids somewhere to school to gain legitimacy. But fruit never falls far from the tree, and neither do the family jewels.

If Geronimo's spirit is still walking the earth like Hamlet's ghostly father, he may be capable of bringing down, or at least shining a bright spotlight on the House of Piracy from the spirit realm, just like Obi-Wan Kenobi who shape-shifted to the spirit world to fight Darth Vader. Who knows, maybe Shakespeare was a prophet foretelling the end of days in Hamlet. And just maybe some truth can set us all free. We can handle it.

“I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us. There is one God looking down on us all. We are all the children of one God. The sun, the darkness, the winds are all listening to what we have to say.” Geronimo
