True American Hero
(Ed Du Bois)

To: U.S. Congress
To the Congress of the United States of America,
In 1918, the President's grandfather, Prescott Bush, and several accomplices desecrated the grave of Apache holy man Geronimo at Ft. Sill, OK. The men removed Geronimo's head and a prized silver bridle which had been buried with him. Using acid and amid laughter, they stripped Geronimo's head of hair and flesh. They then took their "trophies" back to Yale University and put them on display in the clubhouse of the secret fraternity "Skull & Bones."
The "Skull & Bones" is a secret society founded at Yale in 1832. They maintain a windowless building called "The Tomb" at 64 High Street, New Haven, Connecticut. The club's assets are controlled by a front company, The Russell Trust Association, Inc. Every year, 15 Yale juniors are "tapped" for Skull & Bones membership. They are indoctrinated into the cultish society with elaborate rituals. The goal of this fraternity is to create the ultimate network of "good ol' boys" around the world. Their alumni includes Prescott Bush's son (George H. W.) and grandson (George W.) as well as heads of state and leaders of numerous intelligence agencies, trading companies, business empires and law firms.
Several years ago, a Skull & Bones member anonymously "leaked" information regarding the society and "The Tomb." This included documents and photographs. One of the documents detailed Prescott Bush's graverobbing exploits. One of the photographs was of a skull and bridle on a shelf, next to a framed photograph of Geronimo. Other sources have since come forward and confirmed that Geronimo's skull is indeed on display in "The Tomb" and considered the "mascot" of this "club" on High Street.
Although the Skull & Bones refuses to officially acknowledge their existence, members have tacitly admitted to possessing Geronimo's head. In fact, Skull & Bones members (including Jonathon Bush, the President's brother) met with Apache leaders in New York in 2000 and attempted to hand over a skull. It was obviously not the skull seen in the smuggled photograph. When this apparent substitution was exposed, the "Bonesmen" changed their story, saying the proxy skull was that of an Indian child.
The Skull & Bones then threatened legal action if the documents and photos from "The Tomb" weren't returned immediately. They apparently had second thoughts, after realizing authorities might ask questions about the apparent abundance of Native skulls kept in New Haven. However, neither skull has been returned and that of Geronimo is apparently still the official mascot of the Yale club.
We the undersigned are horrified with this display of elitist, racist witchcraft and ask Congress, with the assistance of whatever law enforcement necessary, to launch an immediate investigation into the theft and possession of human remains by the Skull & Bones society, the Russell Trust Association, Inc. and/or any members of the US Government involved, past or present.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
Chords G, C, D, D7
1.
Geronimo... true American hero,
Your life was not in vain,
Just wanted you to know.
Chorus 1
It was lies, lies, lies that never end,
With those lies, lies, lies you’ll never win.
2.
You weren't aware of Jesus Christ,
Didn't know he sacrificed His life,
Didn't know that there was a pope,
Couldn't read a single word that he wrote.
Chorus 2
You had your own true God Yusun,
He gave you life, land, love, wisdom,
3.
You didn't know the president,
But believed him and his documents,
Traded ridin' free as the wind,
For that prison that they locked you in.
Chorus 1
4.
Today not much has changed,
Just the faces and those names,
Wish I could've been more like you,
Been brave and told them all to get screwed.
Chorus 1
5.
Our great president's grand dad,
Robbed your grave, and stole you head, it was so bad,
Those bones men put it on display,
Mocked your life and desecrated your grave.
Chorus 3
Someday they'll answer to Yusun,
Those bones men from Yale elitus bums,
Give the skull to the tribe were it belongs.
6.
Geronimo,
True American Hero,
Your life was not in vain,
Just wanted you to know,
Chorus
It was lies, lies, lies that Never end,
With those lies, lies, lies, We'll never win.
