Occult Activities at the Elite Bohemian Grove in Northern California Exposed! Alex Jones Tells His Story
Austin, TX -- Last July, documentary filmmaker Alex Jones infiltrated Bohemian Grove, becoming the first person to capture the bizarre occult activities of the all-male elite club membership on videotape. This footage recently aired in England, Ireland and Scotland on UK Channel Four as Part Three of a four-part special: The Secret Rulers of the World.
Alex Jones was inside the 2,700 acre elite compound for over five hours, and states, "Thank God I caught the whole thing on videotape because no one would believe me if I hadn’t. I have trouble believing what I witnessed with my own two eyes. It was actually that bizarre."
For over 128 years, world leaders have traveled to Sonoma County California in the month of July. Almost immediately, bizarre rumors began to circulate in the local press that something dark and occult was going on. The rumors entailed dark stories of men in black and red robes and a giant 40-foot stone owl, to which something, or someone was being sacrificed.
Alex Jones, being a radio talk-show host had heard the rumors many times, so he decided to look into it and did some research. To his surprise, mainstream media articles from Parade Magazine, the Associated Press, Reuters, the Sacramento Bee, and the Washington Times confirmed the incredible. World leaders were traveling yearly to the rural redwood-covered hills of Northern California and photos actually existed of the giant stone owl and the men in black and red robes.
"I was angered," Jones said, "that in over 50 years there had been only a handful of news stories written on Bohemian Grove, and that these stories calmly reported on the rumors and engaged in a whitewash, thus hiding a giant story in plain view."
Reading about all the law enforcement and Secret Service protecting the Grove’s mysteries every July, Jones took the challenge of Jon Ronson of World of Wonder Productions to "blow Bohemian Grove wide-open with his hidden cameras."
After traveling from Austin, Texas to San Francisco, Jones and the other members of his team met up with the British filmmakers and began a three-day investigation before attempting to enter the Grove.
On July 15, 2000, Alex Jones and his assistant Mike, equipped with two hidden video cameras and disguised as members of the Bohemian Club successfully infiltrated the elite cult compound.
One of the most commonly asked questions is: How did they get in?
Following is a transcript of a taped interview with Alex Jones, who describes his infiltration of the super-secret elitist camp and what he witnessed inside:
"The Bohemian Club lies within a range of large hills and cliffs with 300-400 ft. drops. The club itself consists of large log cabin-style homes built into the gorge walls.
There is only one entrance on the north side of the compound, which is a paved road, appropriately named "Bohemian Avenue."
A low barbed-wire fence surrounds the entire perimeter of the club, but the fence doesn’t matter because there is only one place where the hills come together, leaving an opening traversable by foot or car. Simply stated, the Bohemian Grove is a walled city.
After being dropped off near the Bohemian Club, we inserted ourselves into the woods about 100 yards from the main entrance. After going over the barbed wire fence, we found ourselves in what can only be described as a moat. The entire area along the road to the foot of the cliff walls had been dug out and flooded.
We were able to make our way across the expansive swamp by jumping from broken tree limbs and other debris.
After climbing up a steep embankment, pulling our way up by gripping on tree roots, we found ourselves in a large parking lot, with hundreds of cars. We saw several dozen Bohemian Club employees/servants getting out of the vehicles, which were everything from Mercedes-Benz to Ford Tempos.
At about 100 yards through the trees, we saw a much larger parking lot, filled with more late-model, luxury-style cars. Obviously, this was the parking area of the actual 2,000 members of the Bohemian Club.
When you come in on the main road, the moat, the swamp and the embankment are off to the right (off to the west) just 50 yards of so. By going across the swamp or moat, we made our way past the first two checkpoints, which consisted of a small guard shack on the left-hand side of the road and another 50 yards down the road another guard shack on the right-hand side of the road.
It’s a good thing that we decided to sneak around the first two checkpoints, by entering through the Bohemian Grove employee parking lot, because the real checkpoints lie deeper inside the Grove. There was a checkpoint in the middle of the road (a large guard shack with several dozen security people) and then guard shacks on the left and right sides of the road, which were kind of like the German-style checkpoints you see in old news reels.
I told Mike I thought it would be a good idea if we tried to get on one of the large trucks (the flat-back open trucks that had padded seats that were actually picking up members of the Bohemian Club as well as the employees). So, we went ahead and walked through the woods to the Bohemian Club member parking area and waited for one of the large trucks to pull up, at which time myself and Mike climbed onto the back with two older gentlemen.
Mike and myself made small-talk conversation as we got onto the black-top road and drove deeper into the Grove, now approaching these larger checkpoints. In the two or three minutes that we were on board the truck, we caught an interesting conversation on tape, as two of the members discussed the prices of their ceremonial robes (all of that is in my video, Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove).
Our first close call happened as we neared the main checkpoint. The truck actually stopped, at which time an older, gray-haired man made eye contact with the driver of the truck and walked around the back of the truck to stare myself and Mike right in the eye. Obviously, he was afraid that we might be guests of the two older gentlemen we were riding in with in the truck (as Bohemian Club members are allowed to bring guests) so he didn’t ask us who we were or what we were doing. The guards went ahead and waved us on with a look of suspicion.
Then we were inside the Bohemian Grove. We had heard all of the bizarre rumors and were about to find out what was really going on inside. The mystery was getting closer to being solved.
The truck drove in for several more minutes and stopped at which time we off-loaded. I told Mike that I wanted to get to cover. It took us about 45 minutes to an hour to walk all the way through to the bottom of the gorge, at which point the road actually ended and a cars could no longer drive on it, as it turned into a concrete-paved, blacktop foot-path.
We reached the end of the gorge, which is an observation deck at the top of a 300-foot cliff overlooking the Russian River and the small town of Monte Rio on the other side. It was my plan to have the least amount of contact with the Bohemian Club members and staff as I could and to wait until nightfall to attempt to get out our hidden cameras and to catch the Cremation of Care ceremony on tape.
At this point, I should digress and go back and say that as we were walking into the Grove we came within about ten yards of the 40 foot stone owl that sits to the north side of the small lake. We were only about seven yards away from the black altar that sits at the base of the owl.
So, already at this point we had proven a big rumor true: yes there is a giant stone owl – yes there is an altar. As we were walking deeper into the grove, past the lake, we even saw little metal crosses sticking up from the water’s edge. We’ll get to those little metal crosses later.
So, now we had been there about an hour at the observation deck. There was no one around. All of the sudden, there was an older gentleman, about 67-70 years old, wearing a Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department uniform coming up the path . We didn’t even see him coming. I believe he was the Sheriff, and he started speaking to us in some kind of code.
He looked directly at me and said, "Were you here in 1913? Are you one of the old ones?"
Now obviously, I was 27 years old and the man knew I wasn’t around in 1913 and that I wasn’t one of the old ones. Knowing that he was testing me, I just calmly said, "Yeah, I’m with the Hillbillies."
To explain that, there are about 95 different clubs within the Bohemian Club. All the different club houses and log cabin-style mansions that are built into the cliffs have different names and different memberships. The most elite club, according to press reports is Mandaley, with Henry Kissinger and Paul Volcker, former Federal Reserve Chairman and other New World Order bosses.
The Hillbilly Camp is the camp that the Bushes are members of, along with many other notables in American industry, banking, media and government. At that point he smiled and said, "Well, enjoy the day." He then turned around and walked off.
After he left I said to Mike, "Look, we’ve got to get to a new position and hide ourselves in the woods." So we traveled back into the gorge, off the cliffside and the observation deck. About half-way into the gorge, we noticed that two men in dark suits and sunglasses were following us. I decided to slow down.
The two men ,who were obviously private security, Secret Service or somebody’s private body guards, walked up to us and asked us our names. I gave them my fake name and Mike gave them his fake name, and we told them that we were members of the Hillbilly Club.
They said, "take it easy, don’t stress yourselves out and enjoy yourselves," which was a theme that came up more later. At this point, we had been confronted twice and were now being followed. I told Mike that we had to get into a heavily populated area where a lot of the Grove members were congregating.
So we went into several of the clubs and almost had our identities blown. We went in and had a few drinks, because everyone was drinking copiously and they were offering us wine in some of the clubhouses. We then got back on the road and into a large outdoor feasting area, where hundreds of tables were being set from some party or revelry.
I told Mike we should go up the steep road into the hills where some of the larger structures were located. It took us about 20 minutes to walk up the road into the only hills that were accessible by foot. At that point some of the employees began to ask us why weren’t riding the truck up. We told them that we wanted exercise, at which point they started acting pretty suspicious.
We noticed that high up in the hills many of the large log cabin structures were deserted, with many large outside decks. So we went into the Web Camp and just made ourselves comfortable. (The camps have different names like Lost Boys, Doom, Dragon etc.) We simply sat out the next hour, reloaded our hidden cameras and got them back into place.
By then, the shadows were getting long and it was just a few minutes until dusk. We started to hear bizarre chanting and singing coming from down below us in the gorge. So we traveled back into the gorge. On our way back down, we saw thousands of men chanting and singing drunkenly beneath the giant redwoods.
It was like something out of a fantasy novel. I expected to see a dragon come hopping by any moment. There were huge skulls hanging down from the floodlights, satanic-styled owls with glowing eyes, (a lot of trappings of death) that we could now see in the twilight illuminated by the large floodlights.
The feasting revelers were beginning to break up and to travel down paths towards the lake. We decided to go ahead and mix in with them and go where they were going. They were going towards the east side of the bank about 100 yards across the north tip of the lake where the idol and altar stood.
As we were walking around the lake, the only black man we saw, a very large man, saw myself and Mike walking very quickly compared to other members in the crowd (we wanted to get a good place on the east side of the bank to watch the Cremation of Care ritual – most of the rumors I had heard were now coming true).
He said, "trouble yourselves not! Take it easy! The cares of the world are off your shoulders! You’re not supposed to walk that fast." He then gave us two full-color programs. On the cover of the program, they show Moloch, the big owl, with a burning body enflamed beneath it (the program can be viewed at infowars.com). Also a little demon, with the initials PJ was sweeping up someone’s ashes on the lower left-hand corner of the program (which is also on my film, Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove).
Thousands of the men began to gather on the eastern bank, private servants (as opposed to the Bohemian Grove employees, who all wear red shirts and who weren’t allowed to be present for the ritual) began to put out chairs for their elderly employers.
The sun had now sunk behind the hill. It was completely dark and you couldn’t even see the other side of the water. There were bats flying around and a lot of natural fog building on the surface of the water (there is a lot of fog in Northern California that time of year).
Picture this , if Count Dracula lived in North America, he would live in Sonoma County. This was spooky stuff. The hair on the back of my neck was beginning to stand up at this point.
Then, out of the woods, all of the sudden came thirty priests in black robes, their faces painted up like death, with a man dressed like the Grim Reaper pulling a wagon with a bound body. Then we noticed something that we had seen during the day. Large black canopies had been unfurled out of the trees on the western side of the bank (we’re on the eastern side – only about 70 yards away at that point) and they unfurled those, and the wagon pulled behind it.
The men then began to yell out, "burn him again! He’s going to get what he deserves!
Now, I must digress and say that the reason I was able to see the priest in the black robes, the priest painted-up like death, and the bound body on the back of the wagon, was because they were all carrying torches. The place was pretty illuminated by the torches being carried by the thirty priests in front and the thirty priests behind the wagon.
Probably out of the entire ritual that I witnessed, the most important aspect of the ceremony was what happened first. The wagon went behind these big black sheets hanging out of the trees, down to the ground, obscuring the view, and for about 10 minutes nothing happened.
It was quiet except for the hateful shouts of the old men, who said things like, "Oh yeah! Burn that bastard! Kill him! That’s what he deserves!" All we could hear was them whispering and smacking their lips. This went on and on.
Now on the west side of the bank, (we’re were on the east side, about 60-70 yards away) at the front, about 100 yards away on the north side, is the idol, sitting in darkness. No one was paying attention to that. Everyone was disoriented as they stared across the water at whatever was happening behind those black curtains with that bound body.
Whether it was an effigy or real, we do not know. (This is kind of like the Skull and Bones ritual that the New York Observer caught on tape. They claim that the video shows them slitting the throats of ceremonial effigies.) Is all of this in effigy? We don’t know.
We were all focused at what was going on across the pond. Suddenly the owl was lit up by some flood lights and out ran a hundred priests or so in black, red and green robes. Most of them were in black, some in red and a couple in silver or green robes.
Then, out came the high priest, who went through all his incantations about the dead (who is dead at the Grove in the past, may their spirits be conjured and brought back there by the "great owl"). He praised the owl for about twenty minutes and he talked about "goodly Tyre and Babylon."
(I know how bizarre this all sounds, just remember that we have all of this on tape in my video, Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove, which has aired nationally in the United Kingdom, and might air here in the United States, unless it is suppressed.)
So, the priest talked about "goodly Tyre and Babylon." Well,, there is only one "great owl" of Babylon and "goodly" Tyre. If you read your Bible, or any historical document of the time, they were burning children in the Babylonian and Caananite kingdoms before the owl-god Moloch.
Suddenly, (again, we had initially been misdirected from the owl by the activities behind the curtains across the bank, then we were paying attention to the owl and the priests on the island ) back on the west bank, there was an old-fashioned river-style boat, with that grim reaper character who had been driving the wagon, and he was poling himself across the water with the bound body up on the bow.
He brought the bound body to the high priest who was waiting for it at the foot of the owl, at the bottom of large circular steps on which the owl sits. Then, in very macabre fashion, the two black-clad priests rubbed and caressed the sacrificial body and brought it before the owl.
The body begged for its life, over a speaker system. They refused it mercy. They took it up onto the altar. The "great owl" told them to burn the body (which they called "dull care,")which looks like a human wrapped up in black cloth. Right above the altar there was a large stone lamp that was burning that they call the "eternal flame." The high priest took an unlit torch and lit his torch with this flame.
The body again begged for mercy. The high priest then walked down (with some difficulty, because this high priest was so old, he could hardly even walk), and lit the pyre on fire. He began to say that he would read the signs in the remains, a deep occult tradition. This is not the Hollywood devil with red pajamas – this is the real deal, Babylon mystery religion-style.
The body continued to scream in pain. Suddenly, all of those little metal crosses that we had seen along the bank during the day burst into flame. So, I was there witnessing something right out of the medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch’s Visions of Hell: burning metal crosses, priests in red and black robes with the high priest in a silver robe with a red cape, a burning body screaming in pain, a giant stone great-horned owl, world leaders, bankers, media and the head of academia engaged in these activities. It was total insanity.
So the ritual ended and all the old men started breaking up and going back to the big hall in the giant redwoods. Myself and Mike high-tailed it out of there, walking at a brisk pace. We encountered no resistance when we left. We walked right by guards and were out on the main road, Bohemian Avenue.
It is a lot easier to get out of the Grove than it is to get in, because a lot of these world leaders that you read about in the news leave the Grove to go into the small town Monte Rio. They go into the bars for prostitutes that are flown in from around the world to service them.
Down the road the British media was waiting to pick us up. They asked us, "Did you get it? Did you get it?"
One of the producers, John Sergeant, said, "You’ve done it Alex! You’ve blown Bohemian Grove wide open!"
There is so much more to this story that we don’t have time to get into. I decided to have this interview transcribed and put on my website, www.infowars.com. You really need to get the film, or at least look at the photos or the stills of the video on infowars.com. Look at the program there with the burning body and read the mainstream media news stories about the history of the Grove, and you will realize how real all this is.
You need to do this because a week after I got out of the Bohemian Grove, a group called the Bohemian Grove Action Network, (a group that protests the Grove and is against the corruption, elitism and how women are denied access, because the Grove is all-male, of course), contacted different press outlets. I got ten unsolicited media calls from the west coast media.
I gave them the information, and we put the video clips on the web at infowars.com. They all said that the infiltration and what our cameras caught on tape would be a huge story. After that, we never heard from them again.
That shows the power of the Grove. The only places we have been able to get information out about Bohemian Grove has been on talk radio across the country, the Internet, and now across the United Kingdom. Hopefully, they’ve broken the ice abroad by broadcasting this over UK Channel Four and this true story of Bohemian Grove will make it into the mainstream United States media.
This has really been life changing for me, to go in there and witness this and then have some people spin it, like, "oh, it’s just fraternity fun." These people were deadly serious. This is a story that needs to be told and the establishment is trying to suppress it. Please spread this information to every corner of the world. http://www.global-conspiracies.com/occult.htm~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

Inside Bohemian Grove: The Story People Magazine Won't Let You Read
When Dirk Mathison, San Francisco bureau chief for People magazine, infiltrated the exclusive Bohemian Grove retreat this summer, he got a view into the U.S. elite that very few reporters have glimpsed. Unfortunately, that elite includes the management of Time Warner, the owner of People, which prevented Mathison from telling his story.
Bohemian Grove, a secluded campground in California's Sonoma County, is the site of an annual two-week gathering of a highly select, all-male club, whose members have included every Republican president since Calvin Coolidge. Current participants include George Bush, Henry Kissinger, James Baker and David Rockefeller -- a virtual who's who of the most powerful men in business and government.
Few journalists have gotten into the Grove and been allowed to tell the tale (one exception is Philip Weiss, whose November 1989 Spy piece provides the most detailed inside account), and members maintain that the goings-on there are not newsworthy events, merely private fun. In fact, official business is conducted there: Policy speeches are regularly made by members and guests, and the club privately boasts that the Manhattan Project was conceived on its grounds.
Given the veil of secrecy that surrounds the Bohemian "encampment," a reporter needs to enter the grounds covertly in order to get a full portrait. Mathison entered the grounds three times July 1991, aided by activists from the Bohemian Grove Action Network.
He witnessed a speech -- "Smart Weapons" -- by former Navy Secretary John Lehman, who stated that the Pentagon estimates that 200,000 Iraqis were killed by the U.S. and its allies during the Gulf War. Other featured speakers included Defense Secretary Richard Cheney on "Major Defense Problems of the 21st Century", former Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph Califano on "America's Health Revolution -- Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Pays", and former Attorney General Elliott Richardson on "Defining the New World Order".
Mathison's entree into the secret world of the Grove was cut short on July 20, however, when he was recognized by two of the participants in the festivities -- executives from Time Warner, People's publisher. More loyal to the Grove than to journalistic endeavor, they had the reporter removed from the premises (San Francisco Weekly, 8/7/91).
Mathison already had plenty of material, however, and turned in an article to his editors, which was scheduled to appear in the Aug. 5, 1991 issue. They were pleased with the piece, according to Mathison: "They liked it enough to expand it a bit," he told Extra!.
But then the story was suddenly killed. Landon Jones, managing editor of People, told Extra! that the decision had nothing to do with the Time Warner executives. "It was cut partially because he hadn't been there long enough to get a complete story. Secondly, we felt very uncertain about reporting what we did have, because, and this is my fault and I take responsibility for this, I simply didn't realize it was technically trespassing."
For his part, Mathison said he did not know why the story was killed, and implied it would be nearly impossible to find the real reason. "It's easier to penetrate the Bohemian Grove than the Time-Life Building," he told Extra!.
But the story raises questions about the ability of a media entity to report critically on an elite when its executives are enthusiastic members of that elite. Indeed, the Time organization was noted for sending a corporate plane to the Bohemian gathering every year, according to long-time Grove-watcher Kerry Richardson.
Time Warner is not the only media corporation with Bohemian connections. The list of Fourth Estate bigwigs who have been members or guests is extensive: Franklin Murphy, the former CEO of the Times Mirror corporation; William Randolph Hearst, Jr.; Jack Howard and Charles Scripps of the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain; Tom Johnson, president of CNN and former publisher of the Los Angeles Times.
When Associated Press president Louis Boccardi spoke at one of the Grove's "Lakeside Talks" about kidnapped reporter Terry Anderson (Spy, 11/89), he referred to his audience as men of "power and rank" and "gave them more details than he said he was willing to give his readers."
Walter Cronkite, now on the CBS board, hangs out at the same lodge at Bohemian Grove as George Bush and the former chairs of Procter & Gamble and Bank of America; Cronkite's voice has served as the voice of the Owl of Bohemia, a fixture in the club's mock-druidic rituals.
The media figures attending the retreat all agree not to report on what goes on inside. The prohibition seems to apply to reporters who are not guests or members as well: In 1982, NPR got a recording of Henry Kissinger's speech at the Grove -- but declined to air it (Spy, 11/89). Also in 1982, a Time reporter went undercover as a waiter in Bohemian Grove; like Mathison's People article, his story was killed. http://www.global-conspiracies.com/peoplemag.htm

Movers, shakers from politics, business go Bohemian: Annual Sonoma fete draws Bushes, Kissinger, Powell, Gingrich
The Sacramento Bee
By Suzanne Bohan
Bee Correspondent
(Published Aug. 2, 1999)
MONTE RIO -- The Bohemian Club's Annual Summer Encampment came to a close here Sunday, ending a two-week retreat for the rich and powerful that President Herbert Hoover once called "the greatest men's party on Earth."
The club's famed annual gathering has been held for more than 100 years at the 2,700-acre Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, about 70 miles north of San Francisco in Sonoma County. This year's event drew in notables such as former President George Bush, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, retired Gen. Colin Powell, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Dow Chemical Chairman Frank Popoff, as well as actor Danny Glover.
The men gather to celebrate what they call "the spirit of Bohemia," said Peter Phillips, a Sonoma State University sociology professor who wrote his doctoral dissertation on the Bohemian Club.
"This is a place men can go and hang out with people who are similar to them," he said.
The annual gathering near the Russian River, which was first held in 1879, starts with the "Cremation of Care" ritual, in which the club's mascot is burned in effigy, symbolizing a freedom from care. Members also perform several plays, and gourmet food and expensive wine are plentiful.
While the club was formed in 1872 by a group of San Francisco journalists, the male-only club now bars journalists from membership to protect the group's privacy. Membership is coveted, and people routinely wait 10 or 15 years before gaining admittance. There are currently about 2,700 members.
The club has drawn criticism for years because of its emphasis on privacy. What particularly concerns Phillips and others are the "Lakeside Talks" held during the summer retreat. This year, Powell was expected to deliver a talk titled "America's Promise Leading Armies and Leading Kids," and Popoff, of Dow Chemical, was to give a speech called "Environmental Journey."
"These are often public policy speeches," said Mary Moore, with Bohemian Grove Action Network, a protest group. "And the American public is not privy to it."
No one from the club returned several calls from The Bee.
Bohemian Grove Action Network has periodically held demonstrations at the grove, although none were held this year.
The point of the protests, Moore said, has been "to let the American public know that what they've learned in civics isn't the full story on how decision-making . . . is made in this country." The Bohemian Club, she said, "is one of the most elite organizations on the planet."
When the group sponsors public policy talks that are held without public scrutiny, "the average American feels left out of the process," she said.
Phillips echoes Moore's objections to the off-the-record nature of the Lakeside Talks.
"These are extremely powerful people and private discussions on policy issues that affect us certainly go against democratic principles," he said. "There's no reason that those speeches they're giving couldn't be transcribed and made public. They have a responsibility to be open about it." http://www.global-conspiracies.com/bohemian.htm~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Bohemian Club
The August 2, 1982 edition of Newsweek magazine reported: "... the world's most prestigious summer camp - the Bohemian Grove - is now in session 75 miles north of San Francisco. The fiercely guarded, 2,700 acre retreat is the country extension of San Francisco's all-male ultra-exclusive Bohemian Club to which every Republican President since Herbert Hoover has belonged.
With its high-powered clientele, coveted privacy and cabalistic rituals, the Bohemian Grove has prompted considerable suspicion. ... The most important events, however are the "lakeside talks" (past orators: Alexander Hague and Casper Weinberger). This year's speaker was Henry Kissinger on The Challenge of the '80s." Maclean's magazine, March 23, 1981 reported: "Each summer, for three weekends - this year's will be the 103rd - nearly 2,000 Bohemians, with guests in tow, speed in by car and corporate jet to their guarded Grove, close by the hamlet of Monte Rio (population 1,200) on the Russian River. The Grove's Shakespearean motto, "Weaving spiders come not here," is an injunction to forget wheeling and dealing which is widely ignored. While 'ruling-class cohesiveness' rarely lets slip details of accommodations arrived at there, some - such as the 1967 agreement by Ronald Reagan, over a drink with Richard Nixon, to stay out of the coming presidential race - have helped mold America's destiny.
... Oddly enough, reporters are barred from this club, formed one night in 1872 by five bored news hawks on the old San Francisco Examiner to promote good fellowship (i.e., booze-ups) and 'to help elevate journalism to that place in the popular estimation to which it is entitled.' That aspiration went down the drain when membership was extended to show people, and by 1878, the year of the first Grove-fest, the journalist were already on their way out.
Today, a prospective member faces an interrogation that, according to one club man, 'would satisfy the KGB.' There is a waiting list of 1,500 notables, all eager to pay the $2,500 initiation fee and $600 a year dues.
Mother Jones, August 1981 volume 6 page 28, reported a partial list of some of the prominent members: "George P. Shultz, Stephen Bechtel, Jr., Gerald R. Ford, Henry Kissinger, William F. Buckley, Jr., Fred L. Hartley, Merv Griffin, Thomas Haywood, Joseph Coors, Edward Teller, Ronald Reagan, A. W. Clausen, George Bush, William French Smith, John E. Swearingten, Casper W. Weinberger, Justin Dart, William E. Simon, and hundreds of other prominent politicos and businessmen."
Antony C. Sutton, Editor of an excellent monthly newsletter, Phoenix Letter, stated in the October, 1996 edition:
"Up to a few months ago, our knowledge of Bohemian Grove, the exclusive elitist hideaway by supposedly adult wheeler dealers, a.k.a. Washington statesman and prominent people (all male.)
We dismissed the behavior as immature, even pitiful by emotionally disturbed juveniles and not worth attention. This is where Kissinger, Ford, Nixon, Bechtel, Bush, Cheney, Hoover and their friends (2600 members) hang out and "relax." And if they want to behave as little boys that is their privilege, it is private property.
Recent [O'Brien and Phillips, TRANCE Formation of America (pp 170-1)] information may radically change this perception of Bohemian Grove. Not merely drunkenness, unbounded use of alcohol and drugs with vague homosexual tones (confirmed by our sources) but reported activities much more serious - kidnapping, rape, pedophilia, sodomy, ritual murder. Investigation is blocked under the 1947 National Security Act. (!) And like the Omaha child abuse case, includes illegal detention of children.
For decades, there have been vague rumors of weird goings on in Bohemian Grove in more remote parts of its 2200 acres. Reliable reports claim Druidic like rituals, druids in red hooded robes marching in procession and chanting to the Great Owl (Moloch.) A funeral pyre with "corpses." (Scores of men work in the Bohemian Grove as servants so this party is fairly well established.)
An article in a local community newspaper, Santa Rosa Sun (1993, July) reported on the Cult of Canaan and the legend of Moloch in place at Bohemian Grove. The Moloch Pagan Cult of Sacrifice is human sacrifice. About the mid 1980s there were rumors of murders in remote parts of the property. A local police investigation went nowhere. State investigators on related criminal acts went nowhere.
According to an observer and near victim, who can describe the Bohemian Grove inner hideaways, the closed sanctum, even the decor at secret locations, places where no outsider goes (or servants according to our sources) there is an UNDERGROUND lounge (sign spelled U.N.derground) a Dark Room, a Leather Room and a Necrophilia Room.
Here is one of O'Brien's quote "Slaves of advancing age or with failed programming were sacrificially murdered at random in the wooded grounds of Bohemian Grove and I felt it was only a matter of time until it would be me."
This potential victim survived. Others reportedly did not.
The Origin of Moloch, Druid and Canaanite Cult
These cults were based on human sacrifice. Why would a 20th century resort reproduce the cult ceremonies? At the minimum, it demonstrates an attraction to the ceremonial practices of the cult, i.e. adoration of destruction, blood, barbarity and sacrifice of children.
In brief, the O'Brien charges are consistent with the tenants of Bohemian Grove as played out in ceremony. This is not a resort devoted to, for example, tennis or swimming. It is apparently devoted to blood sacrifices.
John Milton in Paradise Lost described Moloch as follows:
"First Moloch, horrid king, besmirched with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents' tears,
Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud,
Their children's cries unheard, that passed through fire
To his grim idol."
"Many political reputations and world governments secrets were staked on the belief that I could not be deprogrammed and rehabilitated to recall that which I was supposed to forget."
So much for the programming experts. Colonel Aquino is a psychology "expert" linked to mind control with Defense Intelligence Agency and presumably first class talent, yet (Cathy) O'Brien was apparently deprogrammed and secrets spilled all over." (end quoting)
The monthly Phoenix Letter is available by writing to Phoenix Letter, Suite 216 C, 1517 14th St. West, Billings, MT 59102.
The book "TRANCE Formation of America" is an autobiography by Cathy O'Brien with Mark Phillips. Cathy and her 8 year old daughter were rescued from their mind-controlled existence in 1988 and taken to Alaska by Mark Phillips for safety and rehabilitation. She and her daughter were victims of the US Government Defense Intelligence Agency TOP SECRET MK-Ultra Project Monarch (MIND CONTROL). Cathy became a White House "Presidential Model" Mind-control slave. Later on, her very young daughter was included in this evil MIND CONTROL project, and was physically, sexually and mentally tortured by the pen-stripe suited leaders of the most powerful organization in the world, our US Government. I will not take this space to tell you the entire story, because it is much more alarming as it is related by Cathy in this VERY DISTURBING book. My first reaction to reading these facts was utter sadness to learn about two innocent human beings that were tortured and treated as simple tools for the pleasure of our world leaders. This was followed by extreme anger, when I realized that the persons committing these horrible crimes were not repeat offenders who were just recently released from a maximum security prison or mental hospital, but people who are our recent and current elected and appointed state and federal leaders. If this book does not deeply sadden you, and then make you very angry, you just don't understand.
As these world leaders, who have all the creature comforts that they could ever desire, look around for something new and interesting to do to amuse themselves, is it not reasonable to assume that they eventually will revert to pagan ritual rites, mind control, pedophilia, necrophilia, homosexuality, bestiality, prostitution and yes - human sacrifice? Apparently they already have!! http://www.global-conspiracies.com/bohemianclub.htm~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Bohemian Grove Intruder Says He Feared Human Sacrifices
In jailhouse interview, suspect says he sneaked into exclusive Monte Rio club prepared to killJanuary 22, 2002
By RANDI ROSSMANN and LORI A. CARTER
THE PRESS DEMOCRATRichard McCaslin planned a heavily armed assault on the exclusive Bohemian Grove men's club for more than a year, believing "it would take something dramatic" to draw attention to human sacrifices he feared were being held there.
In a jailhouse interview Monday night, the well-spoken, lucid and clean-shaven man said he "wanted to make a point" and was prepared to kill people at the Monte Rio resort if necessary.
McCaslin, 37, is being held in the mental health ward of the Sonoma County Jail, facing several felony charges stemming from his commando-like entry into the grove this weekend.
McCaslin, who calls himself the "Phantom Patriot," said he doesn't belong to any militia, the National Rifle Association or any religious group, fearing he'd be immediately pigeon-holed and not taken seriously.
McCaslin said he thinks he is sane.
"They might beg to differ," he said with a laugh, pointing his thumb behind him into the mental health ward.
On Saturday night, McCaslin went to the grove armed with a semiautomatic rifle/shotgun hybrid, a .45-caliber handgun, a crossbow, a 2-foot-long sword, a knife and a hand-made bomb launcher. Wearing a skeleton mask and carrying several of the weapons, he sneaked past guard houses into the grove near the Russian River.
Each summer, the grove is home to a private men-only gathering that attracts former Republican presidents, powerful business leaders and other influential figures.
Though he knew the annual grove gathering was months before, he thought there still would be people there.
"I expected heavy resistance," he said. But he got none.
He also carried a camouflage-colored Bible, poems he'd written and pamphlets about his motives and concerns. One pamphlet included a reference to an Old Testament verse from Leviticus above a crossed-out Bohemian Club insignia. He said he left the papers at the base of a huge owl "idol."
After his arrest, he told detectives that he had come to the Bohemian Grove to kill child molesters and those performing human sacrifices.
"He planned on killing people," Sonoma County Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Brown said. "He planned on confronting people doing these weird things."
His fears of the alleged events were based on a videotape put out a few years ago by radio host Alex Jones, who claims on his Web site that "bizarre, Luciferian ceremonies" occur there.
Jones could not be reached for comment Monday.
McCaslin said the tape was fuzzy and didn't show any faces. It appeared to have been taken surreptitiously by Jones from as far as 200 yards from the owl idol during the grove's annual and highly secret "Cremation of Care" ceremony. But he said he could make out the form of a wrapped infant, which he believed was real and alive, being sacrificed.
He also heard more on Jones' radio show a few months ago about legendary and secret goings-on at the private 2,000-acre Bohemian Grove that solidified his desire to take action.
A Marine in the early 1980s and a former stuntman at Six Flags amusement park in Texas, McCaslin isn't married and has no children. Otherwise, he said, he couldn't have taken on the act.
"That wouldn't be responsible," he said.
He said he legally bought the weapons over time. He said he considered the legal and personal consequences if he was caught, and what his prison time could be depending on the whether he killed someone.
Last July, he made a reconnaissance mission to the grove. He wanted to make sure it really existed and how to get there.
In late December, McCaslin said he moved to Carson City, Nev., from Austin, Texas.
He got an apartment and spent a few weeks "blending in," finalizing his plans. "If I chickened out, I liked Nevada -- I could live there," he said.
On Saturday, he drove his pickup to Sonoma County and parked in the dark near the grove.
After sneaking inside the grounds, McCaslin said he heard only a couple of voices and realized there was no one there but security.
After about an hour, his flashlight died. It was pitch black under the redwoods and his efforts to sneak around were hampered.
He couldn't find the tall owl statue and eventually slept on a mattress in a cabin, waiting for dawn. With the early light, he found the owl quickly and left his marks and papers.
Not wanting the trip to have been in vain, he said he went into a dining hall, and using degreaser and some flammable materials, set an admittedly "poorly made fire."
"I'm not an arsonist," he said.
The fire was doused by a sprinkler system, but the fire alarm alerted security. McCaslin knew he'd been spotted and began walking out of the grove.
Sheriff's deputies and CHP officers, called by grove security officers, arrived and confronted McCaslin, who was wearing the skeleton mask and carrying the MK-1 assault rifle-shotgun, loaded with 70mm shotgun slugs and a full 30-shell magazine of .223-caliber bullets.
He also was wearing a bulletproof vest and a blue uniform similar to what police SWAT team members wear. On opposite shoulders, he wore patches of the Democrats' donkey and the Republican elephant, each within crossed-out red circles.
McCaslin said he waited behind a tree, wondering whether the officers were "legitimate" or part of the "Bohemian conspiracy" and planned to kill him to cover up his efforts.
When the officers did not shoot, McCaslin said he knew they were legitimate and then "took the hard way out," putting down his weapons and giving up peacefully.
Brown said the officers showed great restraint during the confrontation and were relieved when McCaslin put his gun down.
Detectives describe McCaslin as an intelligent, well-read man who is a fan of American history and government actions. He has no criminal record.
Although some of beliefs may seem bizarre, Brown said, McCaslin did not appear to be mentally unstable.
"He thinks (Timothy) McVeigh was programmed by the government to blow up Oklahoma City," he said. "And that (Osama) bin Laden has a company that George Bush is a partner in. But he's not dumb. His beliefs are just a little different," Brown said.
McCaslin will be arraigned Wednesday on six felony charges. http://www.global-conspiracies.com/bohemian-sacrifice.htm

Bohemian Club conducting own probe of break-in
Police say ex-Secret Service agent working at Grove misrepresented himself at jail
February 1, 2002
By CECILIA M. VEGA
THE PRESS DEMOCRATThe Bohemian Club is quietly conducting its own investigation into how a heavily armed man managed to sneak past security into the club's Russian River camp.
Bohemian Grove, a 2,700-acre camp near Monte Rio, is the site of an annual encampment attended by entertainers and corporate and political leaders.
Richard McCaslin, a self-styled commando who was arrested after a brief standoff with sheriff's deputies, says he went to the grove looking for pagan ceremonies and human sacrifices that he heard about on a talk radio program.
Since his arrest, McCaslin has been questioned in jail twice by a former Secret Service agent who is part of the security detail at the grove.
Bohemian Club officials say they are simply trying to ensure the safety of their members and guests, a group that often includes presidents and Cabinet secretaries during the two-week summer encampment.
The questioning prompted a complaint from McCaslin's public defender, and sheriff's officials said the grove security man, identified as Martin Allen, misrepresented himself to gain privileged access to McCaslin in the county jail.
Assistant Sheriff Mike Costa said Allen identified himself as an active Secret Service agent to obtain visits without time constraints, a right typically granted to lawyers and law enforcement.
Costa said Allen "took advantage of all the resources available to him in order to accomplish his mission, which was to see Mr. McCaslin for longer than the 30 minutes granted to him as a civilian."
A spokesman for the Bohemian Club confirmed that Allen visited McCaslin twice last week to obtain information for an internal investigation of the break-in.
As for Costa's statement that Allen misrepresented himself, spokesman Mike Oggero said: "I think he told them who he is and gave them his background."
McCaslin's attorney, Deputy Public Defender Jeff Mitchell, said he was concerned that some of the information his client shared could be subpoenaed by prosecutors and used against him in court.
"It presents some difficult legal issues," he said. "He's been asked everything by this person ... Given all this conspiracy stuff that's floating around, it's very interesting."
Oggero said the club doesn't intend to share any information obtained by Allen with other agencies.
"We have an ongoing commitment to do everything we can to provide a safe environment for our members, guests and staff," he said. "This is simply ... a little research to make sure we're doing what we can to make the grove safe."
Jail officials say Allen flashed a Secret Service badge and whispered he was an agent before his visits to McCaslin.
His visiting privileges have been revoked, Costa said.
"His ID credentials should have 'retired' stamped across them," he said. "He is not a peace officer. He's more or less like a private investigator."
Allen didn't return telephone calls seeking comment.
McCaslin is being held without bail on a variety of state and federal criminal charges including arson and possession of an assault weapon.
He was dressed in a skeleton mask and a hooded costume with the words "phantom patriot" on his chest when he was arrested at the grove Jan. 20. He was carrying several weapons, including a crossbow, an assault rifle and a homemade bomb launcher.
McCaslin said he expected to find people sacrificing children in rituals performed before an owl statue in the camp. Only the security detail was present, however, and he was arrested after allegedly setting a fire in the grove's mess hall.
McCaslin said Allen came prepared with a list of questions and spent about four hours interviewing him.
In a jailhouse interview Thursday, McCaslin said Allen questioned him about how he entered the grove and what he saw once he was inside.
"He asked, 'Were you disappointed with security?'" he said. "I figured they would have chain-link fences up by now. No guard dogs. No microcameras. Yeah, it's off-season, but still...
"They don't want people going in there, but from what I saw they weren't too worried about people sneaking in."
Once inside, McCaslin said he didn't see much because his flashlight died.
A Texas native and former Marine, McCaslin said he once pursued a career in acting and auditioned for a role as an FBI agent in the 1999 movie "Miss Congeniality." He also said he portrayed "Batman" at an amusement park.
McCaslin said he is the only child of deceased parents and was unemployed and living off an inheritance when he was arrested. http://www.global-conspiracies.com/bohemian-breakin.htm

A lodge gone black
When it comes to tinfoil-hat
conspiracy theories, all roads
lead to Sonoma County. Specifically,
to Bohemian Grove, where a giant owl
awaits the faithful.
By R.V. Scheide
Deep in the woods there’s a funeral that’s swinging ...”
--Nick Cave, back in his Birthday Party daysFor the past two weeks, some of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world have been holed up in the dusky redwoods 30 miles west of Santa Rosa, consuming copious amount of alcohol, dressing up in women’s clothing for amateur theatrical productions and generally making total idiots out of themselves during the 125th annual midsummer gathering of the San Francisco-based Bohemian Club.
The club insists that the retreat, held on a 2,700-acre, privately held spread called the Bohemian Grove, which is situated on the south bank of the Russian River just outside the small town of Monte Rio, is simply a means for its 2,500 or so members, culled from the uppermost reaches of society, to blow off the vast quantities of steam that come with the territory.
But others aren’t so certain.
It’s an intensely secretive affair, and no media are allowed in. While no one outside the grove knows for sure who is attending this year’s affair, past participants have included both George Bushes, Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Caspar Weinberger, James Baker, Dick Cheney, Malcolm Forbes, Stephen Bechtel and a host of prominent CEOs and business leaders, most of them conservative, many of them from California, 99 percent of them white men.
The presence of so many powerful men meeting in secret has led some critics of the Bohos, as they are known, to speculate that more is going on here than a simple two-week romp in the woods. Some of the critics claim that important public-policy decisions are being made here in secret. Others point to the gathering’s bizarre opening ceremony, in which a mock human sacrifice occurs, as evidence of occult activity. Still others say that the two-week sojourn merely provides cover for the rich and powerful to change back into their original form, a shape-shifting reptilian species that came from another planet thousands of years ago.
But while the charges of these various critics differ wildly, they have one thing in common. They all seem to agree that the men who meet here deep in the woods are involved in a vast conspiracy that has but one aim: global domination.
Mary Moore, a longtime Sonoma County activist who founded the Bohemian Grove Action Network, which has helped organize demonstrations outside the grove since 1980, has been one of the Bohos’ more rational critics. The network’s Web site, at
www.sonomacountyfreepress.com, contains a complete listing of all the public-policy speeches that have been given by major figures over the years, including Dick Cheney’s 1991 speech, “Defense Problems of the 21st Century.” Moore, a staunch leftist, is adamant that the annual retreat has to do with more than just fun and games.“When powerful people work together, they become even more powerful,” she states on the Web site. “The Grove membership is wealthy, and becoming more so, while the middle class is steadily becoming poorer. This close-knit group determines whether prices rise or fall (by their control of the banking system, money supply, and markets), and they make money whichever way markets fluctuate.”
True enough, although it’s a safe bet that more than a few attendees at this year’s gathering have watched their stock portfolios go down in flames during recent months. But what is interesting about Moore’s claims is how nicely they dovetail with those from the opposite end of the political spectrum. Which is where we find Austin, Texas-based talk radio host Alex Jones.
Jones’ original claim to fame was spearheading the volunteer effort to rebuild the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. He has since become an ardent critic of black helicopters, the U.S. government and the New World Order, in much the same vein as Randy Weaver. Two summers ago, Jones and a British documentary filmmaker crashed the Bohemian’s party, sneaking in with a video camera and filming the infamous Cremation of Care ceremony that opens each year’s gathering. The video, Dark Secrets of the Bohemian Grove, can be purchased through Jones’ Web site,
www.infowars.com.
The video depicts a group of hooded figures gathered around a 40-foot-tall stone statue of an owl surrounded by water. Think of the orgy scene from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut as it might be produced by McClatchy High School drama students, and you've got a pretty good picture. A small boat rows up to the hooded men and deposits a package, supposedly a human child in effigy, which the Bohos have dubbed "Dull Care." The effigy is place on the altar before the owl and set ablaze, thereby symbolically relieving the Bohos of all their cares and worries for the next two weeks. On his Web site, Jones notes:
"This is like something out of a Hollywood movie, where teenagers are out camping in the wilderness and come over a hill and witness some devil cult in black and red garb sacrificing some poor soul on a bloody altar."
According to leftist journalist Alexander Cockburn, the Cremation of Care ceremony was cooked up by a real estate speculator and club member George Sterling in the early 20th century; it was a response to a revival of ritual that was occurring across the nation at the time. But Jones sees something far more sinister in the ceremony, comparing it to the ancient Canaanite worship of the owl idol Molech, in which humans were sacrificed in a similar manner.
"Whether it was an effigy or real, we do not know," Jones says. The element of doubt adds sort of a Blair Witch quality to the video. It won't fool most people, but it will fool some, like former Austin resident Richard McCaslin, who, after watching the tape and listening to a steady diet of Jones' conspiracy-laden radio program, decided to break into the grove last January in order to prevent any more children from being sacrificed. Calling himself the Phantom Patriot, the former Marine broke in at night and managed to set fire to one of the buildings on the premises before being arrested by Sonoma County Sheriff's Department deputies the next morning. He was recently sentenced to 11 years in prison, a sentence that was dramatically enhanced because he had donned a bulletproof vest and armed himself with automatic weaponry and explosives for the assault.
Jones told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that he was stunned by the incident, saying that it "sounds insane." Yet at the same time, he defended his claim that there might be real human sacrifices going on in the grove. "If my neighbor was worshipping a 40-foot stone owl and burned children on a fire, I wouldn't let that neighbor walk my dog or baby-sit my children. Instead these people are baby-sitting the big red button," he said. "This is some sick stuff."
It may be sicker than even Jones realizes. According to David Icke, a British conspiracy theorist who bills himself as "the most controversial author and speaker in the world," the members of the Bohemian Club are actually a reptilian species from another planet who came to earth thousands of years ago and covertly began taking over the planet, using their shape-shifting abilities to hide their true identities. Conjoining this idea with the more established theory that the secret society known as the Illuminati has been controlling world events since at least the 18th century, Icke postulates that both candidates from the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Al Gore and George W. Bush, belong to the Illuminati/reptilian bloodline.
A former journalist, Icke has written several books on the subject, and a good sampling of his material can be found at www.davidicke.com, where he advises those who find all of this hard to believe to watch movies like They Live, The Arrival and the television series V (you remember, the one with the lizard people from outer space who take over the earth), which "tell the story of what is REALLY going on." If it all still sounds a little crazy, Icke reminds us that "today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground."
What's really going on in the Bohemian Grove? Outsiders may never know for certain. Mary Moore is quick to debunk conspiracy theorists like Jones and Icke. It was at the Bohemian Grove, after all, where scientists first conceived of the Manhattan Project in 1942, and Richard Nixon talked Ronald Reagan out of running for president in 1968. Important decisions that affect all of us are made at the grove, and people like Moore worry that tinfoil-hat theorists will detract from that fact.
But in the final analysis, the claims of the Bohemian Grove Action Network aren't that much different. Everyone seems to be in agreement that a group of rich and powerful men are conspiring to control the world. Whether they're just your average run-of-the-mill corrupt politicians and business leaders, a bloodthirsty cult of baby killers, or a reptilian species from another planet, the end result is the same.
The rest of us are totally screwed. http://www.global-conspiracies.com/goneblack.htm

Arnold Schwarzenegger is Bohemian Grove's pick for California
Fri Jul 25 17:30:12 2003
208.152.73.189
From what we've hear, the Republican hierarchy -- especially those close to former Gov. Pete Wilson -- would favor Schwarzenegger. At least that's the word that came out of the Bohemian Grove this past weekend, where a number of state and national GOPers, including presidential adviser Karl Rove, happened to have gathered at a club getaway.

BEHIND THE COUNT: All eyes will be on the California secretary of state's office today for the big recall count -- but the real plays are going well behind the scenes.
The biggest question, of course, is whether Arnold Schwarzenegger -- who just got back from a European promo tour -- will make this the biggest story of the year by jumping into the fray.
And now that the clock is ticking, the time for playing cute is rapidly coming to an end.
"Everything is set up to go if he says 'yes,' but it's do-it-or-get-off-the- pot time," admitted one source close to the Terminator. "My expectation is that he's talking it over with his wife right now."
One of the keys in all this will be the final round of words between Schwarzenegger and former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan -- who is being urged to run by more liberal Republicans.
"The bottom line," our source told us, "is if Arnold goes, Dick won't. If Arnold doesn't do it, then it's highly likely Dick will -- it's between the two of them to hash out."
From what we've hear, the Republican hierarchy -- especially those close to former Gov. Pete Wilson -- would favor Schwarzenegger. At least that's the word that came out of the Bohemian Grove this past weekend, where a number of state and national GOPers, including presidential adviser Karl Rove, happened to have gathered at a club getaway.
None of this would be good news for Gov. Gray Davis -- who hopes his opponents will be limited to conservatives like Bill Simon or San Diego-area Rep. Darrell Issa.
"There's no question Riordan would be the biggest problem of them all," said one Davis operative. "He's the most liberal, he has a strong name ID in Southern California and you can't pin him as a right-winger -- which is the whole key to the Davis strategy."

100 march on Bohemian Grove
Protesters' numbers dwindle after several hours of skits, speeches
July 20, 2003
By JEREMY HAY
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT
From the dim interior of the Pink Elephant bar in Monte Rio, Jim Hall looked out into Saturday's bright sunlight at protesters marching to the gates of the Bohemian Grove.
Hall, a San Quentin prison guard in his mid-40s, shook his head slightly. He'd planned to march, he said, had driven from his Marin County home to join in, but several hours of protest theater turned him off.
"I was disappointed," he said. "The speakers were not informing, they were just denouncing."
The Bohemian Club's annual encampment draws government and corporate officials, entertainers and others to a 2,700-redwood grove along the Russian River. It also draws protesters, who say public policy is being secretly made at the grove.
Saturday's march along Bohemian Avenue, like the Fireside Talks inside the grove, is an annual fixture of the three-week gathering that began 10 days ago.
About 100 people took part in the march, 50 percent fewer than last year and a small fraction of the turnout in 2001, when the demonstrations resumed after an eight-year hiatus during the Clinton administration.
Through the afternoon, speakers and performers attacked the Bush administration before about 200 people at the Monte Rio Amphitheater.
"I think (the Bohemian Grove) captures why capitalism is fundamentally undemocratic," said Skip Spitzel, 39, an audience member waiting for the march to start.
"It allows corporations to amass enormous wealth in a way that can inordinately influence government, said Spitzel, who traveled from Santa Cruz to join in the protest.
Hall, the prison guard, said he's "extremely concerned" about the issues demonstrators have raised in connection with the grove, what he termed "the aggregation of power of all sorts into a few hands."
And earlier in the day, he said, he'd found the sort of "intellectual content" he'd sought in discussions with Sonoma State University Professor Peter Phillips and a few others manning information booths set up in Monte Rio before the march.
But a lineup of often-profane stage presentations sent Hall to the Pink Elephant. "It was the antithesis of an intellectual discussion," he said.
Waiting for the march to start, and watching clutches of people leave the park, activist Mary Moore, who started the protests in 1980 but has stepped aside from a lead role, said the theater may have gone on too long.
"I do wish the march had gotten going earlier," she said.
The rally aspect of the day served a purpose, said Moore, but "I think that's less effective, the whole idea is to have a presence at the gate."
The protest, titled Fat Cats' Festival and Parade, was sponsored by the local chapter of Not in Our Name, a group formed to oppose the Iraq war.
"People are used to this event pretty much being only march," said Susan Lamont, an organizer. "But we're just as interested in the education aspect."
About 70 Sonoma County sheriff's deputies and CHP officers monitored the protests, and reported no problems or arrests.

Mary Moore's - Bohemian Grove
TWO FILMS IN PAST YEAR ABOUT BOHEMIAN GROVE
by Mary Moore - July 2000
http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/bohos/films.html
TWO FILMS IN PAST YEAR ABOUT BOHEMIAN GROVE
Two very different films about Bohemian Grove were made in the past year.
The FIRST film, shown on British T.V. was a documentary produced by Jon Ronson of World of Wonder Ltd. with headquarters in London and Los Angeles. It featured national talk show host Alex Jones who infiltrated the Grove in the summer of 2000 and filmed the entire Cremation of Care ceremony using a tie tack video camera. Unfortunately Mr. Jones' interpretation of events drew several bizarre conclusions including allegations of Satanic worship and human sacrifice. Although these rumors have been around for years it has never been the position of Bohemian Grove Action Network that there is any credibility to them. Our position is that we are concerned about the harm these men are doing in the OUTSIDE world and we are quite disappointed in the tone and conclusions of this documentary. For more information about this film you can email wow@worldofwonder.net or call 323 603 6300.
The SECOND film called TEDDY BEAR'S PICNIC was produced by VISIONBOX pictures in conjunction with satirist Harry Shearer and features such well known actors as Morgan Fairchild, Howard Hesseman, Alan Thicke and George Wendt. It is a spoof on Bohemian Grove thinly disguised as Zambesi Glen. The following statements are taken from the films production notes.
"A comic junket behind the scenes of the world's most exclusive power broker retreat. The true story: the richest, most powerful white men in America gather each summer in Northern California for a super secret retreat that takes them back to their sophomore year in college. For fifty one weeks a year they run the free world. For one week they run amok. They're there to unwind but they get really unwound when that secrecy is threatened."
"Based on the exclusive men's retreat Bohemian Grove, where the likes of Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Malcolm Forbes and William F. Buckley, have been known to play, TEDDY BEARS'S PICNIC is a wicked little satire about power, class and to a small degree, sex."

March 11, 2004A visitor to infowars.com sent us a very rare copy of the Annals of the Bohemian Club (vol 7), 1987-1996. It is the Bohemian Club Quasquicentennial, celebrating the 125th anniversary of the founding. It is an internal Club publication, and only around 200 were issued to elite members. The photos you will see below document the elite membership from George w. Bush and his Father, George H. W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Helmut Schmidt and other Illuminaries. You will also see new, exclusive images from the occult Cremation of Care ceremony. More with pictures: http://www.infowars.com/exclusive_new_bg.htm
CREMATION OF CARE 1990
This image from Page 131 shows the ancient Caananite occult ritual, the "Cremation of Care, being carried out by world leaders in 1990. This is an image from their own internal document http://www.infowars.com/exclusive_new_bg.htm
Watch a clip of the Mock Sacrifice
Here you see a smug George W. Bush with his father, Bush Senior (taken in 1995) giving what they call a "lakeside chat" at the Grove. This page also shows Newt Gingrich, another member. The talks are given no less than a dozen yards from the stone idol where "mock" human sacrifices take place. This is the same idol you see featured above in the Cremation of Care ceremony photo http://www.infowars.com/exclusive_new_bg.htm
~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
From page 243 (in 1991) German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt addresses the elite of the world at a lakeside talk. Helmut Schmidt, in his own autobiography, "Men and Powers, a Political Retrospective, says that he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilberberg group. He also says that he has been an active participant in bringing in world government. Mr. Schmidt also said in his book that leaders from globalist bodies travel to the Grove every summer. He talks about secret groves in Germany where they do druidic rituals, but indicates that Bohemian Grove is his favorite place to participate in these rituals.
In Alex jones' film, Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove closeups are shown of Helmut Schmidt's book and the text. http://www.infowars.com/exclusive_new_bg.htm

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Speaks at the Grove
Update, July 1997
by Mary Moore
http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/bohos/scalia.html
On Saturday, July 12, 1997 Bohemian Grove members burned "Dull Care" in the 118th re-enactment of their Cremation of Care ceremony. But that was not the only strange occurance to come from their 1997 summer encampment.
As usual we obtained their program of events with the help of insider employees (the workers ARE aware) and, as usual, there was a list of Lakeside Talks that belie their claim that "weaving spiders come not here"! So, for your enlightenment we bring you a partial list of speakers at this years gathering of military, industrial and governmental "heavy hitters". If any of you readers recognize the names with (?) please let us know who they are.

Well, there you have it—proof positive that it's not all fun and games, as the Bohemian Club likes to tell journalists.
It's not that these men don't have the right to gather and free-associate. No one is taking issue with that. But I for one would very much like to know what a sitting judge of the United States Supreme Court had to say about Church and State, as well as the Constitution!!!
For serious researchers and journalists, you may arrange to see our copy of the Lakeside Talks for 1997, as well as the newest membership list, by e-mailing me at justice@wco.com. We also have the schedules from past years, as well as older membership lists and other documents.
Much thanks to our helpers inside the Grove who have made this possible.=======================

LAKESIDE TALKS July, 2003
http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/bohos/lakesidetalks2003.html
Compared to past years when such dignitaries as Supreme Court Justice ANTONIN SCALIA spoke on CHURCH, STATE & THE CONSTITUTION (1997) or the scary REARMING AMERICA by then Secretary of Defense CASPER WEINBERGER (1981), this years LAKESIDE TALKS were relatively low key. Maybe that's because so much of the ruling class agenda is now outfront for all to see if only they will look.

San Francisco Bohemian Club: Power, Prestige and Globalism
By Peter Phillips
http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/bohos/San_Francisco_Bohemian_Club_Power_Prestige_and_Globalism.html
For much of the world, July 14th is celebrated as the end of a flagrantly
out of touch French monarchy; the date in 1789 when the people of Paris
rose up and marched on the Bastille, a state prison that symbolized the
absolutism and arbitrariness of the Ancient Regime.
July 14th 2001 is, ironically, also the first day of summer camp for the
world's business and political aristocracy and their invited guests.
Between 2,000 to 3,000 men will gather at Bohemian Grove, 70 miles north
of San Francisco in California's Sonoma County-to sit around the campfire
and chew the fat-off-the-record-with ex-presidents, corporate leaders and
global financiers.
One might imagine modern-day aristocrats like Henry Kissinger, George W.
Bush, and Donald Rumsfeld amid a circle of friends sipping cognac and
discussing how the "unqualified" masses cannot be trusted to carry out
policy, and how elites must set values that can be translated into
"standards of authority."
Private men's clubs, like the San Francisco Bohemian Club, have
historically represented institutionalized race, gender and class
inequality. English gentlemen's clubs emerged during Great Britain's
empire 1building period as an exclusive place free of troublesome women,
under-classes, and non-whites. Men's clubs were the place where English
elites could co-mingle in homogeneous harmony. Copied in the United
States, elite private men's clubs served the same self-celebration purposes as
their English counterparts. As metropolitan areas emerged, upper-crust
white males created new clubs throughout the Americas. These private
men's clubs continued the European traditions of elitism, race superiority and
gender exclusion.
The San Francisco Bohemian Club was formed in 1872 as a gathering place
for newspaper reporters and men of the arts and literature. By the 1880s
local businessmen joined the Club in large numbers, quickly making business
elites the dominant group. More than 2,500 men are members today. Most
are from California, while several hundred originate from some 35 states
and a dozen foreign countries. About one-fifth of the members are either
directors of one or more of the Fortune 1000 companies, corporate CEOs,
top governmental officials (current and former) and/or members of important
policy councils or major foundations. The remaining members are mostly
regional business/legal elites with a small mix of academics, military
officers, artists, or medical doctors.
With a historically all white membership, the Bohemian Club became
sensitive to civil rights issues in the 1960s and gradually admitted a
few men of color. Today they remain 99% white. The Club does continue to
maintain its exclusive gender practices. Other then allowing women to
work in food service, the shooting range and the parking lot at the
Grove-which was forced on them by the California Supreme Court-they have remained
defiantly a male-only organization. Class discrimination continues as
well. New Club applicants must be sponsored by two existing members before
being considered for admittance.
By the early 1880s, Bohemian Club members began conducting summer
camping trips to the Sonoma County redwoods. The summer encampments proved so
popular that the Club began purchasing land along the Russian River in
1899. By the 1960s the Bohemian Club owned 2,712 acres, including a
1,500-year-old grove of redwoods, adjacent to the small town of Monte
Rio.
The Bohemian Grove summer encampments have become one of the most famous
private men's retreats in the world. Club members and several hundred
world-class guests gather annually in the last weeks of July to recreate
what has been called "the greatest men's party on earth." Spanning three
weekends, the outdoor event includes lectures, entertainment, rituals,
plays, theater, friendship re-affirmations, lots of hosted camp parties,
political discussions, sideline business meetings and huge amounts of
food and alcohol.
Bohemian Grove offers daily lectures known as "lakeside chats." The
Under-Secretary of the Navy may give an off-the-record speech on
military budget issues, or the President of Mexico may address global free trade.
Whatever the topic, those present emerge with a sense of insider
awareness of high-level policy issues and political situations which are often
yet-to-be, or perhaps never-to-be, publicly articulated.
One such chat in 1994, given by a University of California political
science professor, warned of the dangers of multi-culturalism,
Afro-centrism, and the loss of family boundaries. He declared that
"elites based on merit and skill are important to society. Any elite that fails
to define itself will fail to survive…We need boundaries and values set and
clear." He went on to conclude that we cannot allow the "unqualified"
masses to carry out policy, and elites must set values that can be
translated into "standards of authority."
Foremost at the Bohemian Grove is an atmosphere of social interaction
and networking. You can sit around a campfire with directors of PG&E, or
Bank of America. You can shoot skeet with the former secretaries of state and
defense, or you can enjoy a sing-along with a Council of Foreign
Relations director or a Business Roundtable executive. All of this makes for ample
time to develop personal long-lasting connections with powerful
influential men.
On the surface, the Bohemian Grove is a private place where global and
regional elites meet for fun and enjoyment. Behind the scene, however,
it serves a very important function similar to 18th century French Monarchy
scheming or the 19th century empire building of the British. The
Bohemian Grove is an American version of race, gender and class elitism. It is
the human process of building insider ties, consensual understandings, and
lasting connections in the service of class solidarity. Ties reinforced
at the Grove manifest themselves in global trade meetings, party politics,
campaign financing, and top-down democracy. In a sense, they live in a
self-made Bastille surrounded by power, prestige and privilege, and
united in their fear of grassroots democracy,

The Bohemian Grove and The Nuclear Weapons Industry: Some Connections
Article and photos © Kerry Richardson.
(Originally published in 1987, information in this article is not current. Contract information is not up to date, positions held by individuals have changed, some individuals named have died, and the status of some facilities has changed.)
The Bohemian Club is a private men's club headquartered in San Francisco with a country retreat in Sonoma County. Each summer the club holds a two and one half week long gathering at the Bohemian Grove near the town of Monte Rio. Examination of club membership and guest lists from the grove encampments and observation of planes and individuals arriving at the local airport to attend the Grove reveal that the Bohemian Grove is a gathering place for many men with a business and professional interest in the construction of nuclear weapons, men whose companies make nuclear bombs and their delivery systems, and men in government whose jobs involve them with nuclear armaments. This article identifies some of these men.
The data used to compile this paper covers an eight year period and is incomplete. It should not be assumed that all individuals named are present at the same time at the grove. Who speaks to whom and about what is not known to the writer. No attempt has been made to contact individuals named to confirm their attendance at the grove. Positions and titles may not be current.
Several topics should be mentioned that this article does not deal with: uranium mining - the front end of the nuclear weapons industry, the health effects of radiation and the bomb, the strong historical role of the Bohemian Grove in the development of the United States' nuclear weapons program, and the extensive accusations of fraud by weapons contractors.

Introduction:
This internet site contains some reportage about the Bohemian Grove. Some of it dates from the 1980's and may not be current. It is an incomplete picture of the Bohemian Grove and Bohemian Club and it is mostly an outsider's critical view. The Bohemian Grove is located in Sonoma County in California, north of San Francisco. The Bohemian Grove is the country retreat of the Bohemian Club, a private men's club headquartered in San Francisco. Each summer the club holds a gathering at the Grove, usually around the last two weeks in July. The club has over 2000 members, with no racial, religious or political restrictions on membership, but new members must be sponsored and approved, and there is a considerable waiting list. The club has a focus on the arts, music, and theater.

Major media from CBS television, magazines like People and Spy have attempted and failed to get the hard video evidence that Alex Jones and his team have gotten out of Bohemian Grove.
Alex Jones: "This is like something out of a Hollywood movie, where teenagers are out camping in the wilderness and come over a hill and witness some devil cult in black and red garb sacrificing some poor soul on a bloody altar."

Last night, Alex Jones was on coast to coast radio and was allowed to say
whatever he wanted for three hours. The response was unbelievable. 4 MILLION
new visitors to the website were turned on to the truth of what has been
happening in this country since the phony terrorist attacks were fomented by
the One-Worlders. If you are one of the two people left in this country that
hasn't the ability to recognize the odor of rotting fish, then please
disregard this email and delete it right now. If you have read any small
portion of the thousands of documents, statements, or legislation that have
been brought forth, then you have a good notion, either subliminally or
overtly, of who and why these "bad actors" have basically bungled the
greatest deception in the history of the world. THE WORD IS OUT! Which,
brings me to the reason for this email.
After the NSA began to realize the scope of listenership (14 million) and
the number of hits to the website (4 million in 3 hours) they sent some sort
of virus or worm that destroyed the server totally. They switched servers
and then the transmission of the website is now blocked in advance of the
T-1 lines.
Welcome to the command and control hell designed and implemented by our
glorius keepers. This Orwellian nightmare has just begun. You have been
censored and the information which you are "ALLOWED" to have, is now in the
benevolent, loving, hands of the New World Order.
My own site was sabbotaged a little over a year ago. Files were deleted, and
when they realized that I had off-line copies of everything they deleted,
and immediately replaced the files, my domain was mysteriously sold to a
porno organization in Las Vegas. The reason was simply to discredit me with
my mostly Christian, truth-seeking, audience. My radio show was in the top
ten of over two-thousand shows
