Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Bohemian Club was found at one hundred and twenty
years ago in San Francisco by a group of newspaper men,
businessmen and artists. Modern day members include some of the
most influential American men of the twentieth century.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The CEOs and president's vice presidents of the Big four
networks all attend year after year. And you have former presidents,
you have current presidents. You have British Royalty that go there.
Helmet Schmidt, the previous German Chancellor, wrote a book Men
in Power as a political retrospective, and in the book
(00:37):
he said, look, the Trilateral Commission goes there, the Bilderberg
Group goes there, the leaders of the world go there
for fifteen days and a lot of decisions get made there.
And he admitted that they are establishing a private, corporate
world government, and that one of the most important secret
meeting houses is the Bohemian Grove.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Today, we'll be discussing the mysteries, legends and curious speculations
yarding Bohemian Grove. Bohemian Grove is a campground in Monte Rio,
California that contains two seven hundred acres of land and
is located on Bohemian Drive. The secluded and very private
campground is a place of great mystery, and what goes
(01:17):
on there can only be speculation as there are no
electronics allowed, and it's also something that nother one percent
who are members are allowed or even willing to talk about.
It's also a place that many people, up until it
was infiltrated in the year two thousand, that is, had
no idea about, but definitely would want to know about.
(01:37):
There have been some seriously questionable activities that have taken
place there throughout the years, and its open interpretation as
to whether or not the stories are believable or just
some more theories being spread by the rest of the
ninety nine percent of the population who have never and
most likely will never be receiving an imitation to see
firsthand what exactly this place is and what happens there.
(01:59):
Put simply, Bohemian Grove is basically a summer camp for
the most elite media powerhouses, former United States presidents, celebrities, artists, musicians,
and more, all male, of course, while women and miners
are allowed to attend as guests of whichever male in
their life is important enough to be a member. At
a certain time of the year, they must be escorted
(02:20):
off the premises by nine pm. For two weeks each year,
in June or July, some of the world's most wealthy
and powerful men get together for a bunch of ritualistic
and seemingly bizarre behavior right in the middle of what
is also known as the Redwood Forest. Now this is
all speculation, of course. That's whatever happens here is very
(02:41):
sacred and extremely private, which is what makes it all
the more interesting. While insiders and experts will tell you
that the Bohemian Grove is simply a place for these
extremely wealthy men to go once a year just to
let loose and have some innocent fun without the prying
and constantly judging in fickle eyes of the public, not
to mention the media outlets throughout the nation that constantly
have their judgmental lenses portan at them, other more skeptical
(03:06):
people will tell you something completely different. Now let's begin
our tour of the Bohemian Grove. According to the rampant
speculation on the Internet, it's up to you to decide
for yourself. For as long as the grove has existed
and hosted the world's most powerful, wealthy and elite men.
Rumors of sinister rituals and brazen displays of hedonism have
(03:26):
circled its name in more recent years with the advancement
of the Internet. These theories and stories range from the
truly bizarre to the seemingly illegal. First of all, many
people find it very concerning that at least five former
United States presidents are allegedly members. With constantly swirling rumors
about secret societies such as the Illuminati and the Skull
(03:49):
and Bones Society. It only seems to lend more credence
to the gossip that these entities secretly run the world.
Why else would it have to have such secrecy surrounding it?
After all? The red Wood Forest is of course built
with redwood trees, which are known to be extremely tall
and obviously are there to lend protection from onlookers as
to the goings on taking place within their large trunks.
(04:13):
There are also a ton of surveillance cameras and security guards.
No one is allowed to bring cell phones or any
other form of contact with the outside world while you're there,
and also inside the twenty seven hundred acres of campground
are smaller campgrounds, allegedly to keep things all the more contained.
There are guarden stops at every single entrance and exit.
(04:33):
The full protection of the Secret Service and the local
police is offered to the Grove and its members any
time there, meeting or spending any time there. What could
possibly be so important about a bunch of men seemingly
just going camping off grid for two weeks in the summer,
albeit very powerful men and in a very large group,
that they would need such extreme measures to keep what's
happening there so incredibly private. This secret club was formed
(04:59):
in eighteen six two by a man named Henry Harry Edwards.
Since eighteen seventy eight, the members of the Bohemian Club
have been attending the two week long party at the
Grove every single summer. In eighteen ninety nine, the members
decided that instead of renting the campground, they would just
go ahead and purchase it. That way, it was not
only permanently but exclusively available to only them. The club
(05:23):
has mainly Republican members and mostly conservative political beliefs. The
motto for the club and the Grove is taken directly
from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, being weaving Spiders come
not here. Members claim that no business deals are ever
made there. But being the most rich and powerful men
in the entire country and perhaps the world, what else
(05:44):
could they possibly be doing or talking about? Then many
believe that this is where the world's most powerful and
influential men come to discuss how to continue to manipulate
the rest of the population into traversing the path in
which they see is fit for not just our country,
but our planet. Were secret societies such as the Illuminati
congregate to discuss its next move towards global domination and
(06:07):
the introduction to the masses of their sinister and underhanded
plot to eliminate most of the world's population. The discussion
of total mass destruction of the world as we know
it are the members of this group. This is also
why members of the media are allowed to attend, allegedly
so they can push the agenda of this new world
(06:27):
order secretly as their own television, news and social media outlets.
In the year two thousand, a man named Alex Jones
was somehow able to not only sneak himself but a
camera into the Bohemian grove during one of these two
week camping troops. What he was able to catch these
rich and powerful men doing was bizarre, to say the least.
(06:48):
Before we get into what he caught on camera, though,
let's talk about what Jones alleges he read in reports
that were supposedly released about what the members at the
grove are actually talking about, mainly population control. Why would
these men be talking or worrying about control of the
Earth's population? Is this where they're going to decide who lives,
(07:08):
who dies, and who goes on to the supposed bunkers
in the ground at the Denver International Airport. Jones also
alleges that right after he turned his camera off, a
member of the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office approach him and
ask him why he was filming. Jones also states that
there are many hidden cameras in the grove which are
unseen to the naked eye. Jones filmed a ceremony of
(07:30):
sorts called the Cremation of Care. This ceremony has allegedly
been taking place since nineteen eighty and is used as
the kickstart to the two weeks of ceremony in the
Redwood Forest. The Cremation of Care consists of several men
dressed in red hooded robes carrying torches while others carry
an effigy of a human body enclosed in a wooden
(07:51):
coffin like box. This human body is actually a wooden
skeleton stuffed with straw, and its name is care. The
men take this skeleton or human body and bring it
to the center of the stage while the all male
audience members look on. The stage is on the side
of a giant lake, and overlooking the entire ritual is
(08:11):
a gigantic owl structure. Why the owl, Well, supposedly, if
you look on the one dollar bill you can see
an owl picking up on the edge of the semicircle
in one particular part of the dollar. Is this the
symbol for the secret society that to Grove itself makes up?
If so, why is it on our own money? Reportedly, many,
(08:33):
if not all, of the men who tend this excursion
each year, have at least one statue or symbol of
the owl in their homes, so obviously it has a
significant meaning to it. But what is the meaning? Well,
many believe it's because these men worship the owl statues
and figurines as far as this care person is placed
just beneath the oul statues, and this is when still
(08:56):
other members come out dressed up as tree spirits, and
course the onlookers to leave all of their cares and
warriors behind. As they're saying this and singing and dancing,
they burn the effigy at an altar.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Woo whoo.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
When we learn that me you cannot slay. Year Hapy year,
he burned me in this groove, lifting your purity.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Shouts of triumph to the stars.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
The point again he turned your faces to the marketplace.
Do you not find me waiting as a wool?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Fools?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Fools, fools three you.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Conquered caw hold, and some of us prevail against them,
and some thou shall destroyed.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
But this too we know, year.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
After year, within this happy growth, our fellowship ends them
for a space.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I'm malevolence, which we pursuas here has lost its power
under these friendly trees.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
So shall we run thee once again this night, and
in the flames that deep kind empty, we.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Shall read the sign that summer.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Sets across free.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You shall hurt me once again. I don't hurt me.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Frames which hither ye have brought from regions where eye
rain he fools and priests.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I should upon your fire. Yeah wow, Grey, send Paul
Mortal wisdom out of Bohemia.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
We just seech the fantas thy counselor they don't don't care.
Fire shall have us will of be they all don't care,
and all.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
The winds they carry it with my nuts the fellowships
eternal plain.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Once again, this summer sets us.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Free keeping in mind, no women or children are allowed
at to grow during this retreat. Let's move on to
(12:03):
some fund called hijinks and low jinks. This is where
some of the men dress up as women and other
characters and put on trashy, racist, sexists, and all together
raunchy plays again for the rest of the members in
the audience. The main objective with these plays, though, is
to degrade women. Allegedly. It could almost blow your mind
(12:23):
to imagine some of the men who are attending these
rituals dressing up and performing these provocative and risque plays
for the other super powerful and filthy rich men in
attendance each year. These are just a few of the
things that apparently go on at the Bohemian Grove, But
perhaps we will never really know all that a membership
entails because of the privacy and secrecy that such men
(12:44):
of power, wealth, prestige, and respect seemingly demand when vacationing
each year in the Redwood Forest. So what do you
think of all this? Regardless of how they're interpreted, these
rituals do absolutely happen behind the gates of Bohemian Grove.
We welcome your comments below.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and
open society, and we are as a people inherently and
historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to
secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of
excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the
(13:27):
dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there
is little value in opposing the threat of a closed
society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is
little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if
our traditions do not survive with it. And there is
(13:50):
very grave danger that an announced need for increased security
will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its
meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment
that I do not intend to permit to the extent
that is in my control, and no official of my administration,
(14:11):
whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military,
should interpret my words here to night as an excuse
to sense of the news, to stifle dissent, to cover
up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press and
the public the facts they deserve to know. For we
are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless
(14:35):
conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its
sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion,
instead of elections, on intimidation, instead of free choice, on
guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is
(14:57):
a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources
into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine
that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried,
(15:21):
not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure
is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.
No president should fear public scrutiny of his program, for
from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes
(15:41):
support or opposition, and both are necessary. I am not
asking your newspapers to support at administration, but I am
asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and
alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence and
the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are
(16:02):
fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among
your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be
candid about its errors, For as a wise man once said,
an error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to
correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors,
(16:24):
and we expect you to point them out when we
miss them. Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no
country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is
why the Athenian lawmaker sol decreted a crime for any
citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our
(16:46):
press was protected by the First Amendment, the only business
in America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to
amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the
in amental, not to simply give the public what it wants,
but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our
(17:09):
dangers and our opportunities to indicate our crises and our
choices to lead, MOLD, educate, and sometimes even anger
