[CTRL] Bohemian Grove endorses Roberts; 10 yrs in Iraq

This weekend, Colin Powell, a full-fledged member of the Bay Area Power Elite now that he is a partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield Byers, heads up to the grove to camp out with the guys who run the world. … Last week, former CIA insider and retired Admiral Bobby Inman told the Bohos that the U.S. will have to stay in Iraq another 10 years before we can accomplish anything there. No one liked hearing that. Sen. Bill Frist gave one of the Lakeside Talks — a kind of keynote speech given soberly in midday. The lads were unimpressed for the most part by Frist's ruminations on the state of it all, but the Bohemians seemed downright unnerved by the close of his speech. He went completely religious. Now many of the Grovesters are God-fearing gents, but lakeside it doesn't do to wear your piety on your polo shirt, which is what the gentleman from Tennessee did. Too much. … Clarence Thomas was also much in evidence at the grove; he didn't overly opine about the Supreme Court, except to advise that he likes Judge John Roberts. That's nice. See also: Grove Co.

[CTRL] Bohemian Grove Favor Schwarzenegger
-Caveat Lector- http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/07/23/BA253080.DTL 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." www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Bohemian Grove
-Caveat Lector- (I flew over the Bohemian Grove last week. Most of the cabins are obsured by the forrest. The helicopter to the north at the top of a hill and looks like an owl. The area is spooky. A spooky elite-connected former associate claims to have been there. Another calls it a faggot-place because they have a play where the men dress as women and there are only men there execept for a few in the kitchen. Typical. --SW) Bohemian Grove: Hell-Fire in a Forest The Bohemian Club was established in 1872 in San Francisco as an exclusive club of political and intellectual figures who wished to spend a certain amount of time each year relaxing and interacting in a non-business environment. They began camping on the site of the present Bohemian Grove, located 3 miles east of Monte Rio and 1 mile from the end of the Northwest Pacific Railroad Company, in 1891 but didn't officially acquire the land until 1901. The grove itself is a total of 2437 acres of uncut redwoods, including some that are 2000-3000 years old. The land is occupied by approximately 1500 men -- most of them political and business dignitaries -- for two weeks around Midsummer. The encampment is marked by rituals, talks and entertainment meant to revolve around the relaxation and friendship of the members, rather than their political and economic alliances. On the first Saturday of the camp, an elaborate ritual called the Cremation of Care is held just after dinner. It begins with the procession of a group of men, dressed in red pointed hoods and red robes, some of whom play a funeral dirge while others carry torches. These men also carry a rough, open coffin containing a body made of a black muslin-covered wooden skeleton. According to Domhoff [G. William Domhoff, author of The Bohemian Grove and Other Retreats], 'this is the body of Care, symbolizing the concerns and woes that important men supposedly must bear in their daily lives. It is Dull Care which must be cremated.' 'Begone, dull care. Midsummer sets us free!' (chant from the Bohemian Grove) [1] [Bohemian Grove, the virtual-reality version] Pike [Albert Pike, 'patron saint' of the Scottish Rite] was known in his adopted state of Arkansas as a practitioner of Satanism. His reported sexual proclivities included sitting astride a phallic throne in the woods, accompanied by a gang of prostitutes. He would bring to his revels one or more wagon-loads of liquor, most of which he would consume over a period of perhaps 48 hours, until he passed into a stupor. [2] John DeCamp's book, The Franklin Cover-Up, includes Paul Bonacci's testimony about a snuff film of a child being murdered on July 26, 1984 in California in 'an area that had big trees.' At a meeting in Santa Rosa, DeCamp told a group that he had edited out Bonacci's references to an enormous, moss-covered owl and men in hooded red robes because he not know then about the owl at the Grove and thought it 'too far fetched for people to believe.' In the fall of 1992, Paul Bonacci was shown a black and white photo of the moss-covered owl at the Grove and quickly identified it as the site of the July 1984 snuff film described in DeCamp's book. Although this testimony has been available to law enforcement officials since mid-October 1992, no official investigation has been made. [3] This isn't the typical Bohemian Grove expose which claims that the large summer gathering consists entirely of Establishment bigwigs, and that the Cremation of Care ceremony is an occult ritual. My position is that it's the equivalent of the outermost circle of a high-level satanic cult, intended to sift through those invited to attend, and draw the most potentially useful toward the center of the cult. One of the more prominent aspects of the gathering seems to be to puff up the egotism of the newcomers. The supposed exclusivity of the event is mentioned in almost every account I've read. Besides being in itself an appeal to luciferic tendencies (egotism/selfishness), it also tends to make them feel as if they're part of the Establishment, and thus transfer their loyalty away from mankind in general to the Establishment. The participation of high-profile lackeys and the speeches by others are apparently part of this strategy. Based on what I've seen about the speeches, they're just another variety of disinformation. The religious trappings of the Cremation of Care ritual have several purposes, although their main purpose seems to be to create the
[CTRL] Bohemian Grove- A Lodge Gone Black
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsreview.com/issues/sacto/2002-07-25/arts.asp 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 âDeep in the woods thereâs a funeral thatâs swinging ...â --Nick Cave, back in his Birthday Party days For 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 womenâs 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 arenât so certain. Itâs an intensely secretive affair, and no media are allowed in. While no one outside the grove knows for sure who is attending this yearâs 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 gatheringâs 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 Bohosâ more rational critics. The networkâs 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 Cheneyâs 1991 speech, âDefense Problems of the 21st Century.â Moore, a staunch leftist, is adamant that the annual retreat has to do with more than just fun and games. âWhen powerful people work together, they become even more powerful,â she states on the Web site. âThe 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.â True enough, although itâs a safe bet that more than a few attendees at this yearâs gathering have watched their stock portfolios go down in flames during recent months. But what is interesting about Mooreâs 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. Jonesâ 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 Bohemianâs party, sneaking in with a video camera and filming the infamous Cremation of Care ceremony that opens each yearâs gathering. The video, Dark Secrets of the Bohemian Grove, can be purchased through Jonesâ 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

[CTRL] Bohemian Grove no idyll Rude awakening for the new robber barons
-Caveat Lector- http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=13588CFID=2150732CFTOKEN=65084856 Geov Parrish WorkingForChange 07.21.02 Bohemian Grove no idyll Rude awakening for the new robber barons As Dick Cheney hunkered down with his power-brokering pals at the exclusively bizarre annual Bohemian Grove retreat in California this weekend, it seems fairly likely his friends were more concerned with dressing him down than dressing him up. (Though perhaps the ritual cross-dressing will help him avoid those subpoena-servers.) How is it, they must have hectored him, that, as full-time nanny to the most powerful man in the world, he could have let things come to such a state? The world of the powerful is very much one of what-have-you-done-for-me-lately, usually very lately, and lately has not been kind to the Bush Administration. Those 80+ percent approval ratings of a few months ago must seem like a dim, surreal memoryâthey were certainly surreal enough when they were happeningâin the midst of an economic meltdown centered on the seemingly-imminent indictments of most, if not all, of the Fortune 500 CEOs, and probably half of their board members and two-thirds of their accountants. Maybe next year, they'll have to hold Bohemian Grove down the road in San Quentin. The U.S. stock market has lost 15 percent of its value in the last two weeks. Institutional investors and especially foreign investors are pulling their money out in droves, and individual investors (i.e., folks like you and me)âalways slower on the uptake on such mattersâare scurrying along behind them. A lot of people are watching the complete evaporation of their retirement funds or life savings, the accumulated wealth they so trustingly put in Wall Street after being beseiged for a decade with promises of fabulous wealth and can't-miss opportunities we'd all be fools to pass up on. Many listened and were, in fact, fooled. (How does privatizing Social Security sound now?) This is a maelstromâ"scandal" is not only far too tame a word, but it implies aberration where there is noneâthat is just beginning, and not just in the sense of empanelling grand juries and SEC probes. When people start to figure outâand it's starting to sink in as you read thisâjust how badly they've been hurt at the expense of the owning classes (which are conveniently represented by CEO Bush), the anger will be terrible to behold. It will dwarf the "it's the economy, stupid" downfall of Dubya's father to the same scale that Dubya's stupidity dwarfs that of his fatherâand Poppy was a much smarter man. Remember the tax cuts for the rich, that were supposed to stimulate corporate spending but haven't, pushed through Congress on the wings of a $300 loan used to bribe the middle class? Remember the $127,000,000,000.00 federal budget surplus of only a year ago, transformed today into an estimatedâand these are the estimates of the notoriously math-deficient Bush Administrationâ$165,000,000,000.00 federal deficit? It'll get worse, much worse, before it gets better, but much of the $292 billion already lost represents either post-9/11 blank checks to the military contractor lobby or those tax cuts to the wealthyâin both cases, evidence that the current meltdown is going to hurt ordinary people far more than the criminal classes whose paper losses we'll already hearing about. The present meltdown has the potential to be much more dramatic in its political impact than past recessions, or Wall Street downticks like the 1987 crash, for two related reasons. First, the economy is far more dependent, fifteen years later, on paper transactions, the service economy, and what is now gingerly called "consumer confidence." The latter is a polite way of saying that for years now people have been encouraged to go into debt and spend, as a way to pump the economy, and consequently many people have little or no savingsâor even available credit to help survive bad news. Dot-coms aren't the only outfits whose downfall will be their lack of actual products; a grand proportion of the American economy no longer makes things. That's something other, "lesser" countries do now. As free trade increases and the globe shrinks, the same sort of profiteering on other countries' misery that has fattened America in the past can now happen in reverse. Global corporations are far more fickle in their national loyalties today, too. And, as U.S. economic influence lessens, its ability to carve exceptions to free trade that help keep big chunks of our economy afloat (e.g., agriculture or steel) will be further endangered. And there's more: in short, the U.S. economy has a whole hell of a lot farther to fall. That vulnerability, and the American economy's dependence on confidence, makes particularly potent the most unique aspect of its current crisis. Much more so than past episodes of greed unmasked, as with the 1987 SL crisis, taxpayers are still paying

The rest of the two weeks is then a matter of experimenting with various sensual delights, and progressively discarding one's inhibitions against debauchery and even depravity. The only women allowed are prostitutes, which tends to debase their attitude toward sex and undermine their marriages. It's classic Hell-Fire Club strategy. Who Goes There, Really? The typical expose of the Bohemian group claims that it consists entirely of high-rollers, but only a handful out of the approximately 1500 attendees are ever identified.

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@worldof wonder.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.

As a twenty year organizer of the protests at Bohemian Grove in Northern California I even recognized myself in the character of the shrill white lady at the beginning of the film except I would have had a hell of a better sound bite than she did. After all, one learns quickly that you have to make your point in a matter of seconds and even then the whole thing is seldom heard. With that minor criticism aside I am very grateful for the time, energy and sheer brilliance that went into making this film. For those unfamiliar with the culture of this retreat for the ruling elite, there were alot of inside jokes that might be unappreciated. The EXTINGUISHING OF TIME ritual instead of the CREMATION OF CARE ritual was brilliant as was the Pelican instead of the Owl. The concept of CARE was there in another context however and even stayed true to what we assume was the original meaning of this rather questionable practice. We have often wondered why it was necessary to cremate something that many of us question these men have in the first place!! While I would have liked to see more offhand dialogue about world affairs between these guys there were enough references to make the point that it does go on in spite of their motto to the contrary. The Lakeside Talks have long been a way to float policy ideas without public scrutiny and I appreciate that being shown. The film really captured the shallowness, silliness and out of touchness that we wish we didn't know about our countries corporate culture and its leaders. Scary stuff when you think about it!! I loved the almost obligatory peeing on the redwood scene and the rather excessive drinking (aka drug use) was true to form. And the line about the fire threatening vineyards as well as marijuana gardens says it all about the diversity of cultures that exist in this place we call home. We will continue to wonder why one is legal and the other is not. This film captured these guys in a way that a

Bohemian Club - I think they have the heart of Paul the Aged (code name from bible used by Paul Whitehead, who in the late 1700 period left his heart to the "club:" - Bohemian Club makes nice playground but also very special meemting place. When Meyer Lansky's doctor friends thrived in this area, this one Bohemian Club type reservation owned by a super super rich family.a preacher working as night time security was murdered out there on grounds, his little Church of Berea and its slogan "and they searched their scriptures daily".it is my believe this Lansky element murdered this preacher as a warningand Lansky got his son into West Point and now the tail wags the dog, for organized crime which is just CIA/KGB/Mossad in one big package - they destroy the character and reputation of our CIA?So where have all people gone who were once loyal to America? Lansky was Jewish Mafia, Russian...and remember Cuba - for the Bay of Pigs was a Lansky War after Castro kicked out the mob and murder of JFK was another revenge, as was Bobby. American was dirty after that and we sink further into their mud and shame.. So these killers were attached to Jewish Mafiaand the Wasps seemingly are taking a beating, are they not - like the Kennedy brothers murdered in conspiracy set up by Lansky and Marcellos (Jim Garrison and Marcellos were bosom buddies - figure that one? Lead us to wrong side of horse did he) So what is happening? Illegal laundered drug money is taking over this country.honest business men who built this country are losing out to the enemy now operating from within. Look at the Oval Office and see the evil thereinsee Albright sending bombs to Balkans when these people, the Serbs, saved her from the Nazis.see Henry Kissiner at Republican Convention, his eyes and face full of hatred.he sits now outside this circle and is that guy still alive? Where he goes, disaster - Henry Kissinger, Code Name Bor, of KGBbut he owes his allegiance to the Mossad without a doubtfor you think our CIA could trust that bastard with secrets?

Better take a good look at what is happening and how the enemy now with operates not by elective office, but by use of power delegated by a President who destroys us from within, spiritually, mentally, and physically - by promoting drugs and homosexuality and/or sodomy - and he aims for the kids. This is dirty money taking over our government and as a result we need big broom and bulldozer to clean that bunch out.for this whole thing, UN and NWO is a little less than the old Murder Inc., but at least with them you knew what you saw was what you got - A.

Re: [CTRL] Bohemian Grove 1991
This Bohemian Club is new styled Hells Fire Club which is comprised of not only the intelligensia but the bankers and the big business boys. It's called a country club. Like a masonic lodge you will be shocked to find that community leaders, judges, university bigwigs, policemen, businessmen are all members. I really don't know why you find thir existence astonishing. If you want something akin to the hellfire clubs, try going to a sex-club or bondage club like that one in Boston. In fact (I don't have the link but Im sure you can find it) the Boston Dungeon Society has a most interesting webpage on the subject. What bothers me is this - the old Club were pretty honest in their dealings and today we have a criminal element taking over using dirty money laundered by fronts.I think Ted Turner is one of these fronts. If you think the old ones were 'pretty honest' I think you should read up on them a bit more. The crookedness of modern fraternal clubs is no new modern invention. If anything they are far less crooked nowadays. And are you suggesting that money launderers are using private clubs for...what? Having lunch. Money laundering is done through banks, either directly or indirectly. Who profits in a war? Can people today tell a lie from the truth? Do they really care anymore for look how many people do not vote, more than do vote and here is the secret of their success. Who do you think? The arms dealers profit. A lot of this stuff is as plain as day, anyone that doesn't realise these things as self evident is in cloud-cuckoo land. You can be sure political parties who have workers on government payrolls, these pepole will vote and many are protected by Hatch Act and yet now the union controlled by CFR (AFSCME) gets into the act, they will contribute your money whether you like it or not, to CFR. Are you suggesting that unions put money into politics? Golly gosh. There's a good book you should read, called The Bosses (I forget the author). It's about the US political bosses of this century and how they operated. As far as the CFR goes, I would be surprised if they are a big budget outfit. If anything they probably put money into this union, all the members are supposed to be so rich. One thing I always remembered, story of how these people operate using Mollie McGuires who took on owners of coal mines. The Mollies went to the gallows with red roses pinned on their lapelsand it was said: "All Mollies were Hibernians, but not all Hibernians were Mollies"...rings and rings, and at the bottom of ladder - well let us say need to know basis and at the top is where the elite, meet? So you're suggesing the Pennsylvania miners et. al were being manipulated by who? The illuminati? Bolsheviks? If so, they did a pretty poor job. I think the Molly McGuires were an essentially grassroots labor response to the terrible working conditions. Similar things happened in Ballarat (Australia) during the Eureka Stockade rebellion, in Ireland at various times, in India, anywhere workers were exploited as badly. The point is that both these groups of miners lost militarily, and essentially politically. Today we have a criminal element in control of our government - this thing called Mafia deposes the elite and we are left with murder inc running the country. It's just a shift change. As someone mentioned, the two most crooked organised-crime linked US presidents this century were Reagan and Nixon. Sure, JFK cut deals with the Mob but Reagan was supposed to be on the board. The Mafia you think of is run at top levels by the FBI. When JFK was shot, it is impossible to discount totally the theory that the Texas Governor was the real target, just as when Chicago mayor Anton Cernak was shot dead by an assassin in the company of the President, many people make the mistake of thinking that FDR was the target when in fact it was another gangster hit. --- Move to a better address --- + today freemail + http://www.today.com.au A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Bohemian Grove 1991
Extra! November/December 1991 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
Re: [CTRL] Bohemian Grove 1991
I just have to say something about this. The pictures that go with this story at infowar and the conclusions some people seem to draw from them are astoundingly stupid. Those blurry photographs apparently show a group of hooded figures doing some sort of KKK type ritual. From this they conclude that the leaders of the free world et all are worshipping some sort of owl god. There is absoloutly no evidence, the pictures are so bad that even if they weren't hooded you couldn't tell if they were mannequins. It reminds me of a photograph published some years ago, showing a shifty looking man in sunglasses standing at the back of a lorry. The heading was 'Conclusive proof of Prince Charles' Nazi Connections'. The book was put out by The Goodies BTW. Judge for yourselves, the pics are at http://www.infowars.com/bg1.html BTW if you weren't referring to these pics, I apologise. i wouldn't be surprised if this is some agitprop to make the whole thing look ludicrous and stifle real examination. --- Move to a better address --- + today freemail + http://www.today.com.au A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Bohemian Grove - Playground of the Powerful?
Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 17:13:47 -0500 From: "n0b13 l0n9" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bohemian activist has made her point http://216.167.95.20/local/news/15boho_b1empireb.html Bohemian activist has made her point No protests at encampment July 15, 2000 `ByCHRIS SMITH Press Democrat Staff Writer For years the grandest, most elaborate summer party in Sonoma County -- perhaps in all the world -- was the one where protestors shouted "Shame! Shame! Shame!" to guests arriving at the front gate. The two-week bash, the Bohemian Grove Encampment, is getting under way this weekend in a splendid and private redwood retreat in Monte Rio. But the demonstrators are staying home. Mary Moore, the woman from nearby Camp Meeker who organized yearly protests outside the grove, says she believes as firmly as ever that the present and past presidents and cabinet secretaries, industrialists and other powerful men who come to the male-only encampment bear responsibility for many of the ills of the world. "More and more power is in fewer and fewer hands," said Moore. Over the past 20 years, she and other activists have gathered outside the Bohemian Grove in July to chide the arriving revelers for promoting or profiting from Central American wars, environmental degradation, apartheid, the plundering and bullying of the Third World, nuclear weapons proliferation, homelessness and myriad forms of social injustice. But Moore turned 65 Friday, the same day that dozens of private jets whisked Bohemian Grove guests into the Sonoma County Airport. She said it's too much to continue organizing the mid-summer protest against what she sees as capitalist exploitation that benefits a wealthy few and victimizes many. Besides, she said, "I personally feel the points have been made." The grand camp-out, sponsored by the Bohemian Club of San Francisco, dates back to 1878. The people who put it on say protesters and the press exaggerate when they portray the Encampment as an opportunity for the rich and powerful to hatch plots and partnerships. "You come here to relax and enjoy the camaraderie of friends in a beautiful setting," said Stephen DePetro, manager of the sponsoring Bohemian Club of San Francisco. "You don't come here to do business." The motto of the Bohemian Grove -- "Weaving Spiders Come Not Here" -- officially discourages talk of business or politics. DePetro said the approximately 2,000 men who travel to Monte Rio from across the nation and overseas come to unwind and take advantage of programs that focus on nature, drama, literature and art. The Bohemian Club was created by four newspapermen for the purpose of engendering the arts in San Francisco, which in the late 19th century was, compared to New York, an uncultured outpost. Club officials say that ever since the first Encampment was held 122 years ago as a farewell party for a departing member, its function as a social and cultural retreat has not changed. Major attractions each year include elaborate stage plays, lakeside talks, musical performances, drink and golf. On Friday, several dozen men from the Grove appeared at the Northwoods Golf Course on River Road, just inland from Monte Rio. "Probably about 40 guys play each day," said the course's PGA pro, Don Kite. "We know them now," he said. "It's pretty much the same guys who keep coming back every year." Kite said the players include some celebrities, rock stars and big-name political or business leaders. "We never know which dignitary is going to be in which group," he said. Over the years, the more prominent guests at the Bohemian Grove have included nearly every Republican president and some Democrats. George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon all have attended. Other big names in recent years have included Clint Eastwood, former Cabinet members Henry Kissinger, George Schultz and Caspar Weinberger, and industrialists Stephen David Bechtel, Leonard Firestone and David Rockefeller. The Bohemian Club never publicizes the names of guests, many of whom arrive at the Sonoma County Airport aboard private jets and twin-propeller planes. Airport tower chief Dayle Buschkotter said Friday several dozen corporate aircraft -- Citations, Learjets, Falcon, Beechjets, Gulfstreams -- delivered Bohemian Grove guests Friday. "It's been steady," she said of the arrivals and departures of sleek, privately owned and high-priced aircraft. "It provides eye candy for all of us watching from the tower." In some previous years, demonstrators greeted new arrivals at the airport, holding up signs and shouting. Typically the demonstrators gathered at the Grove's gate, sometimes under the supervision of sheriff's deputies. It's been several years since the last Bohemian Grove protest. Moore said from home Friday she feels that she and the others who demonstrated have done their work, alerting the public about the dangers of allowing too much

Pray tell . . . firstly, the web page whose url is provided is incredibly misleading...i am not familiar with the author's works so all i can see is a zoom of a "demon" with photos of ritualistic processions... at first glance the claim appears to be that bohemian grove is a venue for demonic conjurations... in fact, if the author of the web page is interested in the promulgation of accurate information, he will make it clear that the web page is NOT stating that... secondly, i must admit i was shocked that YOU would have posted such an item but i make an allowance for the possibility that you did not see how easily this web page could be misconstrued... thirdly, yes, i used to live within about five miles of bohemian grove and i can tell you that the entire area is chock full of theatrical performers...many of them work at the north california rennaissance faire... i can tell you that these people are actors [and most likely that those in the photos are exactly that]why the attendees at bohemian grove require their performers to enact such plays i cannot comment on [as in i don't know]... the entertainment, however, that these "dignitaries" receive is impertinent to the fact that many crucial foreign policy decisions are hammered out here in a vastly unnaccountable way... also, no women allowed at these events... if one hunts around sonoma and marin counties [in california] it is not that difficult to find books put out by the Bohemian Club [hence the pics of the napkins that have a large B and a C]... though i have not had the chance to delve deeply into these, i suspect they are revealing...
