Introduction
It sounds like the plot of a cheesy horror film; a group of the worlds most powerful men gather in a secluded forest once a year where they dress in black robes and perform a strange ceremony looking like a human sacrifice as they discuss their plans for world dominationbut in this case its not the story in some movie, its the story of the Bohemian Grove.
Many people interested in conspiracy theories about the Illuminati and the New World Order have heard of the Bohemian Grove and probably know a few things about it, and if youre one of these people, I promise this book will be packed with information and little-known details that few people have ever heard. Its a story so bizarre, that many simply cant believe it.
You are about to learn the hidden history, the strange rituals, and the secrets of one of the worlds most exclusive clubs. I will reveal the identity of their most powerful members and details of the over 100 different subgroups within and what world-changing ideas and events the Bohemian Grove has given birth to. Ill cover what they call Lakeside Talks which are off the record speeches given by elite politicians and business titans to members in order to give them inside information about the speakers area of expertise. I will reveal the secret meaning of their motto, weaving spiders come not here, and the name of their patron saint and what he symbolizes. Ill cover early investigations into the club and the leaks of their membership lists, maps, and year books; I will even reveal their tax returns and financial statements, and show you how we know what we know about this mysterious millionaires mens retreat.
I will analyze the allegations of prostitutes servicing the members, and the gay orgies that are rumored to occur inside. Ill also take a close look at the horrific allegations of murders and snuff films some say have occurred inside the forest at the hands of members; and youll see why major talk radio hosts and the mainstream media are afraid to acknowledge the place even exists.
The Bohemian Grove is a 2700-acre redwood forest in northern California located about an hour north of San Francisco in a small town named Monte Rio. It is owned by the Bohemian Club, which is headquartered in San Francisco, and their forestor the Grove, as it is calledserves as a vacation spot for around 1000 of the worlds most wealthy and powerful men who meet there every summer in the middle of July for a mens retreat.
Every summer its common for both boys and girls to have retreats in the form of basketball camp or cheerleading camp, where the kids spend a week or so polishing their skills and going through various drills to improve their game. Of course, many Christian churches have annual mens and womens retreats which facilitate friendship and camaraderie among their church members, and the events also serve to further the attendees education on spiritual matters.
So, similarly, the Superclass, the Establishment, the Ruling Elite, the Illuminatiwhatever name you want to call themhave their retreat as well, which serves as a place to rub elbows with other industry leaders and powerful politicians in a private, relaxed, and informal environment.
The annual mid-summer encampment at the Bohemian Grove has been called the greatest mens party on earth by members, who include many presidents, military leaders, famous journalists, and top businessmen who enjoy getting away from their wives and the public eye for a bit to let loose and mingle with other like-minded individuals. The gathering lasts for two weeks from mid-July to the end of the month, with some men coming for a weekend, and others staying for an entire week or longer. The men call each other Bohos or Grovers, and members often bring guests with them, but they must be prescreened and approved beforehand by the club.
The term Bohemian refers to people who live non-traditional lifestyles and people who are adventurers, or vagabonds. Ever since it was started, the clubs logo has been an owl because it symbolizes wisdom since it can see in the dark. This is because the elite members view themselves as wise and enlightened beings. A forty-foot tall concrete owl shrine was constructed inside the Bohemian forest, and every year since 1929 has been the site of the annual Cremation of Care ceremony, one of the strangest aspects of this elite retreat. This is the ritual which they perform each year to kick off their two week long encampment.
The Cremation of Care consists of an elaborate production involving live music and fireworksand a human sacrifice reenactment where a life-size effigy of a person is placed on an altar at the base of the giant owl shrine and then burned or sacrificed. Critics claim the ritual is a toned down and theatrical version of an ancient human sacrifice to Canaanite Gods or the Devil.
It sounds so bizarre, many people chalk it up to an urban legend or an Internet conspiracy theory, but Ill prove to you in this book that such a thing does happen, and the rumors are in fact true. In the 1980s, and 90s as word slowly spread about this place, occasionally a reporter tried to sneak inside the now highly guarded compound, but (at least at the time Im writing this in mid-2015) little to nothing has been reported in the mainstream media about this fascinating (and frightening) forest.
In the past, membership lists and program guides would sometimes get stolen and made public by employees, and in the 1980s a group called the Bohemian Grove Action Network dedicated themselves to doing just that. The membership list, one of which I personally have in my possession thanks to a former employee, has included every Republican U.S. President since 1923, many cabinet officials, directors and CEOs of large corporations and major financial institutions, and top military brass.
Some of these names include George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Dwight Eisenhower, Alan Greenspan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many other mainly Republican members and guests. No current president attends because their schedule and whereabouts is too closely watched, but before and after they are in office they can be found in the Grove.
Some consider the Bohemian Grove to be like a Skull & Bones club for adults, and see the Cremation of Care ceremony as being similar to the satanic induction ritual that Bonesmen are put through in college, only with a few extra zeroes added to the budget. As you may be aware, the Skull & Bones fraternity located at Yale University recruits fifteen new seniors each spring to join their club and then grooms them for a possible high-level position in the Eastern Establishment once they graduate. Their initiation rituals are blatantly satanic and involve a simulated human sacrifice as well.
Many people dismiss Skull & Bones as just a fraternity for rich kids, but it is far from a fraternity. In reality it is a senior society, meaning people dont become a member until their senior year, and the organization is designed as an entryway to Americas Establishment and geared for the students post-graduate life. They hold meetings every Thursday and Sunday night during the school year to indoctrinate the new members with the philosophies and tactics of the ruling classwhere, by the way, no alcohol is drank, or even allowed inside their clubhouse.
What kind of a college fraternity doesnt allow alcohol in their clubhouse? One that is very serious about their goals of gaining and maintaining power. If you take the time to study Skull & Bones, you will see beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are far from a fraternity, and are in fact a deadly serious secret society with direct connections to the Bavarian Illuminati in Germany which was started by Adam Weishaupt.
So the kids in Skull & Bones conduct a satanic human sacrifice reenactment ritual in college, but then instead of outgrowing this juvenile frat boy phase, they become involved in even more elaborate and strange rituals when they are well established adults and old men at the Bohemian Grove!
