CT Russell is of the Merovignion bloodline, as was Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, founders of the Mormon church.
one of charlie's predecessors, william h russell was the founder of the infamous skull & bones society at yale university. the order was incorporated in 1856 under the name ``Russell Trust Association.'' by special act of the state legislature in 1943, its trustees are exempted from the normal requirement of filing corporate reports with the Connecticut Secretary of State.
Each year, Skull and Bones members select (``tap'') 15 third-year Yale students to replace them in the senior group the following year. Graduating members are given a sizeable cash bonus to help them get started in life. Older graduate members, the so-called ``Patriarchs,'' give special backing in business, politics, espionage and legal careers to graduate Bonesmen who exhibit talent or usefulness.
The home of Skull and Bones on the Yale campus is a stone building resembling a mausoleum, and known as ``the Tomb.'' Initiations take place on Deer Island in the St. Lawrence River (an island owned by the Russell Trust Association), with regular reunions on Deer Island and at Yale. Initiation rites reportedly include strenuous and traumatic activities of the new member, while immersed naked in mud, and in a coffin. More important is the ``sexual autobiography'': The initiate tells the Order all the sex secrets of his young life. Weakened mental defenses against manipulation, and the blackmail potential of such information, have obvious permanent uses in enforcing loyalty among members.
As of 1978, all business of the Russell Trust was handled by its lone trustee, Brown Brothers Harriman partner John B. Madden, Jr. Madden started with Brown Brothers Harriman in 1946, under senior partner Prescott Bush, George Bush's father.
Samuel Russell, second cousin to Bones founder William H., established Russell and Company in 1823. Its business was to acquire opium from Turkey and smuggle it into China, where it was strictly prohibited, under the armed protection of the British Empire.
Also another eastern establisment family that was involved in the set up of the WTS are the Bundy's.
The Rothschilds, through their Kuhn, Loeb financial operation, funded not only the Morman church, but the WTS too. some researchers claim that Russell and the Rothschilds were friends, which is probably not surprising why the only one of Russells predictions to come true was a new jewish homeland of Israel which the Rothschilds were and still are behind. The WTS enjoyed contributions from Rothschild's B'nai B'rith, an organisation supposedly set up to help Jewish people and promote Jewish faith. Russell promted Zionism which was another Rothschild creation, note that the watchtower magazine was previously called 'Zion's Watchtower'.
