Bohemian Grove

The following article is from Conspiracies and Secret Societies. It is a summary of a conspiracy theory, not a statement of fact.

Bohemian Grove

Sealed off by black helicopters and a private security force, the wicked men of the Bohemian Grove are free to perform supreme acts of vile debauchery while they plan the fate of the world.

Sealed off from the public by helicopters and armed guards, some 2,500 of the world’s wealthiest, most influential, and most powerful men meet each year for seventeen intense days in a private 2,700-acre retreat on the Russian River in Sonoma County, California. The rites and rituals of the San Francisco Bohemian Club are held in secret in a grove of ancient redwood trees, but the decisions made there shape international policies that influence people throughout the world. Conspiracy theorists state that the principal theme of the annual meeting is celebration of patriarchy, racism, and class privilege.

The membership roll of this elitist group of men—no women members—is kept in strictest confidence, but it includes super-wealthy, blood-dynasty family members of the Illuminati, corporate chieftains, and high government officials. According to a number of conspiracy theorists and several fundamentalist Christian evangelical ministers, one might find among the rich and politically powerful gentlemen cavorting about in the Bohemian Grove former U.S. presidents George H. W. Bush and Gerald Ford; Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia; former secretary of defense Caspar Weinberger; the mayors of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other major cities; astronauts Wally Schirra and Frank Borman; former FBI and CIA directors; former secretaries of state George Shultz and Henry Kissinger; international bankers; and the heads of big oil companies. Many of the world’s media chiefs are Bohemian Grove members, including the leading representatives of Time magazine, People magazine, CNN, and many other information outlets.

The former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt is alleged to have commented that his weekend as a guest at the Bohemian Grove encampment was one of the most astounding experiences that he ever had in the United States.

According to an informant for the conspiracy theorists, Great Britain’s Queen Elizabeth made a stunning cameo appearance at the Bohemian Grove in 1983. Her Majesty was honored with a wild, ecstatic pagan dance ceremony, complete with stage props such as Egyptian pyramids and Babylonian artifacts.

In the allegations of certain researchers, the Bohemian Grove hierarchy exercises considerable control over the U.S. presidency. President Ronald Reagan once confided to friends that it was his acceptance by the men of the Bohemian Grove, following his “coming out” at one of their conclaves, that sealed for him the high office of president of the United States.

In 1995 House Speaker Newt Gingrich attended the meeting in the grove and was given instructions to cooperate with President Bill Clinton in building the New World Order.

One of the main rituals performed by the Bohemian Grove participants involves their bowing down before a forty-foot statue of an owl. Walter Cronkite on tape is said to be the voice of the carved-wood owl, the mascot at Bohemian Grove that opens the ceremonies. Members proudly display owl figurines, statues, and images in their homes and in their corporate and government offices.

The Bohemian Grove represents the eternal mystery cults of Babylon, Rome, and Greece. Scottish Rite Masonry is part and parcel of the Bohemian Grove. Most important, this is where diabolical satanic powers congregate each year to plan and to execute their grotesque hidden agenda for the world.

On August 3, 2011, more than 2,000 guests of the conservative elite of North America and Britain left the annual Bohemian Club’s redwood retreat. According to some sources, special guests included actor Tom Cruise, former baseball star Mark McGwire, and former President George H. W. Bush, who reportedly stripped down to his underwear and played in a drum circle. Conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones learned that the agenda of the Bohemian Grove was much the same as that of the Bilderberg Group’s: the Arab Spring, the overthrowing of Middle East dictators, and Internet security and spying.

While the book is a must-read, and does a great job outlining the problem, it unfortunately does not spend much time identifying players in what this reviewer has labeled the "Deep State Behind the Deep State." These groups include truly secret organizations such as Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove, as well as lessse-cretive but highly influential networks including Bilderberg, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission.
