. Not going to be debating either way on this. Make of it what you will.
You're probably thinking what the heck is this. Allow me to explain the purpose of this thread, what these pictures mean, and who these people are and what goes on at this place.
Welcome to Bohemian Grove
Now not so long ago in another thread I mentioned a place in Northern San Francisco, right near Santa Rosa called "The Grove". Bohemian Grove is actually its proper name. So what is Bohemian Grove and what is its significance?
The Bohemian Grove is a 2700 acre redwood forest, located in Monte Rio, CA. It contains accommodation for 2000 people to "camp" in luxury. It is owned by the Bohemian Club.
What is the Bohemian Club?
The Bohemian Club is a private, all male club, which is headquartered in the Bohemian building in San Francisco. It was formed in 1872 by men who sought shelter from the frontier culture (or lack of culture). 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.”
“Anybody can be President of the United States, but very few can ever have any hope of becoming President of the Bohemian Club.”
- President Richard Nixon, 1972

Who are the people that visit Bohemian Grove ?
For over 128 years,
world leaders have traveled to Sonoma County California in the month of July. The Bohemian Grove attracts the world's leading politicians, from all nations, corporate CEO's, and pretty much the movers and shakers of the business and political world. In total there is an estimated 2000 people who attend this annual event. And yes even all the big boys we know are there.
The Bohemian club has evolved into an association of rich and powerful men, mostly of this country. Some artists are allowed to join because of their social status and entertainment value. The membership list has included every Republican U.S. president (as well as some Democrats) since 1923, many cabinet officials, and director; & CEO's of large corporations, including major financial institutions.
Some of the members in which you'll recognise are: The Bush's, Richard Nixion, Donald Rumsfeld, D'ick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, James Baker, Jimmy Carter, William Randolph Hearst Jr., Walter Cronkite, David Gergen and David Rockefeller.
Notables have also included the presidents of CNN and the Associated Press.
Here is a picture of some people you may recognise. On the left of the man standing (Harvey Hancock) you can see Ronald Reagan, and on the right is Richard Nixon.
However the Bohemian Club is split into 'Camps'. Here is a list of the 'Camps':
- Uplifters
- Silverado Squatters
- Highlanders
- Friends of the Forest
- Jinks Band
- Hill Billies : the Bush's belong in this camp.
- Mandalay : the most prestigious camp. Henry Kissenger is a member.
- Caveman
- Midway
- Lost Angels
- Zaca
- Parsonage
- Druids
- Thalia
What activities take place at the grove ?
The grove is the site of a two week retreat every July. At these retreats, the members commune with nature in a truly original way. They drink heavily from morning through the night, bask in their freedom to urinate on the redwoods, and perform pagan rituals (including the "Cremation of Care", in which the members wearing red-hooded robes, cremate a coffin effigy of "Dull Care" at the base of a 40 foot owl altar).
Some (20%) engage in homosexual activity (but few of them support g'ay rights or AIDS research).

They watch (and participate in) plays and comedy shows in which women are portrayed by male actors. Although women are not allowed in the Grove, members often leave at night to
enjoy the company of the many prostitutes who come from around the world for this event. Is any of this hard to believe? Employees of the Grove have said that no verbal description can accurately portray the bizarre behavior of the Grove's inhabitants.

World leaders dressing up as women and entertaining
There has even been many reports of prostitutes, both male and female being flown in to "serve" the 2000 members.
The most powerful men in the country do their "networking" here, despite the Grove's motto "weaving spiders come not here" (don't do business in the Grove). At these gatherings men representing the government, military-industrial, and financial sectors meet and make major policy decisions. The Manhattan project, which produced the first atomic bombs, was conceived at the Grove in 1942. Other decisions made at the Grove include who our presidential candidates will be. There are speeches, known as "Lakeside Talks", wherein high-ranking officials disseminate information which is not available to the public-at-large.

Here is a list of the Lake side talks' topics
For instance back in 1991, July 22nd, Elliot Richardson, Secretary of Defense/Attorney General in Nixon Administration made a speech on "Defining a New World Order".
Cremation of care ritual and the significance of the Owl.
This is the program cover you get when you enter.
As you can tell by now, the owl appears frequently in and around the
Bohemian Grove. So what is this owl?
There are three major stage events at each Summer Encampment. The first, called "Cremation of Care" is a bizarre production on the opening night of every encampment, a ritualistic ceremony involving hundreds of participants. It ends with the symbolic burning in effigy of a wooden skeleton in a coffin that represents the end of the cares of the world.
Carried by pallbearers and "high priests" in bright red hoods and flowing robes, the coffin burns as chants give way to a band playing "There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight."
Climax of the ceremony; 'Cremation of Care'
Well when the
Bohemian Club members perform their annual 'Cremation of Care' ritual, they do so by worshipping a giant stone owl named
Moloech. Some of you may know that in the Bible it makes reference to
Moloech.
Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD. (Leviticus 18:21)
Say to the Israelites: ‘Any Israelite or any alien living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the community are to stone him. I will set my face against that man and I will cut him off from his people; for by giving his children to Molech, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. (Leviticus 20:2,3)
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."
"Sacrificing Dull Care"
"The Cremation of Care ritual is over one hundred years old and is always the first order of business when these men of industry, government and military [so they say] gather each July. At sundown on the first Saturday of their encampment they enact a bizarre short scripted play (it's always the same) in which they burn an effigy of "Dull Care" at the bottom of a forty foot stone owl. Their rationale is that they carry the cares of the world around on their shoulders and they need a symbolic ritual in order to put it down and enjoy their holiday. Since 1980, activists in Sonoma County have brought this to the attention of anyone who will listen and we began a new tradition with a Resurrection of Care event on the same day."

Maybe it's just me but the fact that world leaders are worshipping a Giant owl named Moloech is disturbing. Furthermore with the members of the Grove sacrificing people in effigy; this is very troublesome.
Grove intruder says he feared human sacrifices
"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," Jones said. "This is some sick stuff."

Mentions of Bohemian Grove
Donald Rumsfeld mentions the Grove in speech
Last year, I was disappointed to miss the birthday lunch that Ed Feulner hosts every year at some fish house on the road to Bohemian Grove in July. It’s nice of the President to bring us all together for an early celebration here in the EEOB (Eisenhower Executive Office Building).
THE CHOSEN FEW
S.F.'s exclusive clubs carry on traditions of fellowship, culture -- and discrimination
President Richard M. Nixon
"The Bohemian Grove -- which I attend, from time to time -- it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco."
I don't blame him ... I mean they dress up as women and "interact" with other males. I can see why he thinks it's "faggy".
Arnold Schwarzenegger mentioned in the Grove
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, D'ick won't. If Arnold doesn't do it, then it's highly likely D'ick 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.
Former CIA Director William Casey's 1980 visit to the Bohemian Grove was investigated by committees of both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives.
If you still have doubts about this place, then you can even buy books about the place.

Protests at the Grove
Many groups of people have now began to
protest at the Grove, as it is another means of directly
seeing the world leaders. Protests around Bohemian Grove have become so often that it seems to be
an annual event. However police protection is offered to the world leaders, just outside the entrance of the Grove.

Stories from Bohemian Grove
Child raped at the Grove
26 July 1984: Kidnapped child-se'x abuse victim, Nebraskan Paul Bonacci, a young teen, writes in his diary of being kidnapped by "the rising Black American star in the Republican Party, Larry King" who takes him in a private plane to California to participate in a snuff film made at Bohemian Grove. Bonacci was forced to have sex with a young boy who was then both se'xually abused and raped repeatedly by older men, and then murdered on film. Bonacci wrote in his diary that it took place in California, in "an area that had big trees." At a public meeting in Santa Rosa, California, investigator/author ex-Senator John DeCamp later told a group that he had edited out Bonacci's 1984 references to an enormous, moss-covered owl and men in hooded red robes because he did not know then about the Owl at the Grove and thought it "too far fetched for people to believe."
