I'll leave the categories of medicine* and education for another time. And the railroad business. And sports (Walter Camp, several members of the NFL Hall of Hame, people in baseball, the executive director of the 1960 Winter Olympics, the NHL Board of Governors, and more). And law.
But it can be noted that numerous well-known
prep schools are covered with trustees, faculty, founders and presidents whose college days included membership; these included Phillips Exeter, Choate and Groton (mais oui), Deerfield, Governor Dummer, Taft, Loomis, Hotchkiss, St. Mark's, The Hill School, and repettitively Phillips Andover which gave us Bush 41 and Bush 43, tied to the Mallons and the Walkers and Dresser Industries and a lot more;
*The control of the development of medicine by the Rockefellers is well-documented. Psychiatry is well represented. As is psychology.

There's a library in the Harvard Medical complex named after the fellow in the class of 1930. The senior financial advisor to the Rockefeller Family and Associates was in the class of 1938.

The Taft, Rockefeller, Bush, Sage, Pinchot, Harriman, Dodge, Payne, Whitney, Lovett, Bundy, Mellon, Heinz, Forbes, Spaulding, Brown, Davison, Lord and Ellis

Well, I'll have to end there for the moment, but note that I'm only through the class of 1954. Keep in mind
this is simply a sampling.
Oh, but I couldn't leave without recollecting the stuff about
satanic blood sacrifices in national events. There were at least two highly-ranked officials with
Marsh and McLennan in the S&B membership rolls.
If you are not clear on the reference and relevance of that company with regard to 9/11, there is still time for you to do some homework and begin to acknowledge the way the world works.
