Echoes the lore surrounding fraternal orders like Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Skull and Bones
17 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Echoes of John Hechinger's book, "True Gentlemen: the broken pledge of America's fraternities" resonate through this episode and secret societies like Skull and Bones which included three generations of the Bush family, Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush - a C student at Yale, and George W. Bush come to mind when it's mentioned in the episode that those "fortunate" enough to be accepted in the order's ranks can expect to enjoy a lifetime of privilege and preferential treatment over their peers throughout their careers including perks that include predation with impunity like the Argentine diplomat's son presumed to have. Is it that much of stretch to think the those like the Argentine diplomat's son and the captain of the football team whose tattoos indicate membership in such orders after raping women to join the ranks in this episode do, in fact, in real life grow up to be those same ones who torture trafficked children in cages at secretive retreats like Bohemian Grove where torture victim and murder witness Paul Bonacci recorded in his journal that he was taken, as relayed by his lawyer John DeCamp on the Alex Jones show? (DeCamp spent his own fortune to win a $1 million settlement for Bonacci after Bonacci's ordeal at Bohemian Grove)
