Bohemian Grove 2011: “Gateside Talk”
July 21, 2011
Video by Alive and Awake. (thanks!)
This is a “gateside talk” at the 2011 Bohemian Grove. Current events are paralleled to the lakeside talks at the Bohemian Grove and the members who gave those talks.
Bohemian Grove Mystery Broken Drown

It’s nestled among the Redwoods in the woods of California. 2,700 acres of pristine land broken down into dozens of camps
And for two weeks every July since the 1880s, they have been filled with some of the most wealthy and powerful men in the world.
Many of them arrive on their corporate jets at the nearby Sonoma County Airport. Others arrive in fancy cars which fill the on-site parking lot. At its height, there is said to have been more than 2,000 men who attended and, as you can imagine, they are well protected by a trove of police. Access is by invitation only, and most pay more than $15,000 to attend.
For more than 35 years, protestors have stood at the entrance gates.
“Our concern is not what’s going on inside the Grove, but what’s happening outside the Grove with the people that are in here,” Brian Romanoff, a picketer, tells The History Channel.

At the gate of the Bohemian Grove on Saturday, July 16, we met a certain fellow, by the name of Mark Walter Evans. As we were talking, it developed that he was the author of the original article – back in 1993 – that drew an analogy between the Owl of Bohemia, and the archaic worship of the Canaanite idol Moloch, in the Levant. When we asked Mark if he was willing to be interviewed, he said “Yes!” and jumped at the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with the direction that the ideological thread he started has taken.
Mark Walter Evans’ article entitled “Bigwigs Perpetuate Canaanite Cult“, drew a parallel between the two all the way back in 1993.
“Moloch” has become synonymous with the Bohemian Grove and too many ‘activists’ on the internet community. For 2,300 people on the planet, namely the members of the Bohemian Grove, the 40 foot-ish foot owl is simply known as the “Shrine” or the “Owl of Bohemia.”
Here for your study, before his startling revelations to The Bohemian Grove Blog are released on video, is an excerpt from his 1993 article:
But perhaps the most jarring contrast of all, is the contradiction between the pious hand-over-heart singing of the Star Spangled Banner (ritual for public consumption), that occurs at Party conventions, and the secret ritual that is the real “turn on” for the ruling class habitues of the Grove. For, when the rich and powerful “gather at the river,” it is not to pray, and sign psalms and hymns.
However, let it not be said that these men have no religion.
Every July, the Summer encampment at Bohemian Grove is opened with a remarkable commencement ceremony. I quote from a January 1981 article by William Domhoff * in The Progressive:
“…A ceremony called the Cremation of Care, which takes place at the base of a forty-foot [Ferro-cement] Owl… made more resplendent by the mottled forest mosses that cover much of it.

I am happy people are at the Bohemian Grove to protest. But not all of them.
I have pissed some folks off lately (read the thread). For good reason: I have offended their friends and been blunt with my analysis as much as possible.
Why?
2011 Bohemian Grove: Setting the Record Straight
FINAL UPDATE: Why Have I Spoken Against Certain Bohemian Grove Protestors This Year?
Update: MegaNewsReader has updated the information on his YouTube video described below. Please see the very bottom of the post to see the explanation, where at the very bottom they follow through with a small piece of my request.
FINAL UPDATE: Why Have I Spoken Against Certain Bohemian Grove Protestors This Year?
UPDATE 2# (7/15/11): I have changed the title of this post. The title used to also have the sentence, “Anonymous Video Likely a Fake.” Not so. The Anonymous video was produced by well-intentioned persons in the US, who would like more attention on the Bohemian Grove. That probably seems pretty apparent to many of you though, but to Mary Moore and myself, it was suspicious in timing and presentation.
Gearing up at the Bohemian Grove

San Francisco Giants’ boss Bill Neukom and Vaughn Walker, the retired federal judge who threw out Proposition 8, will be among the featured speakers at the Bohemian Grove encampment of rich and powerful men beginning Friday in Monte Rio.
Also scheduled to present Lakeside Talks during the 17-day Bohemian Grove retreat are Daniel Yergin, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and energy expert; Willie Smits, a conservationist and defender of Borneo’s orangutans; and former Secretaries of State George Shultz and James Baker, according to a source.
The talks, presented beside a small lake ringed by towering redwoods, are a daily highlight of the summer encampment held by the San Francisco-based Bohemian Club and dating back to 1878.
If you don’t know, I hate hearing about “sacrifices”, “Molech”, or “Satan worship” in context to the Bohemian Grove. So yes – I do agree with this article on premise.

Veteran Sonoma County peace/justice activist Mary Moore has stood at the gate of the Bohemian Grove near Monte Rio many times to hoot at the well-connected men driving in.
But you can believe that Mary, founder decades ago of the Bohemian Grove Action Network, will have nothing to do with the group that may protest and picnic at the gate as the Bohemians’ Midsummer Encampment kicks off this weekend.
Mary has her issues with the men of the Grove, but the accusations made in fliers calling for people to confront them on Saturday and Sunday, the 16th and 17th, are way too much for her.
This is stuff from beyond the fringe. The flier, found also at commoncrime.net, exhumes and reconstitutes crazed allegations that the “satanic” Bohemians “conduct a ceremonial sacrifice of children where they will be symbolically set on fire.”
Bohemian Grove – Men Only
Earlier this week I was contacted by Debra Saunders, a columnist at the SF Gate. She wanted to know about the Bohemian Grove. I am just so glad this does not contain any of the misleading information about Molech or owl worship, sacrifice or satanism. Thanks Debra. See the full story at her column. – Brian @ Boho Blog

“Weaving Spiders Come Not Here” is the motto of San Francisco’s Bohemian Club. The motto is supposed to represent the club’s edict against doing business during its annual Bohemian Grove retreat, which commences Thursday on 2,700 acres 75 miles north of the city. As club spokesman and member Sam Singer explained, “It’s a group of gentlemen who are really genuinely interested in arts, theater, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll.” The retreat gives members a chance to “get away from work. It’s forbidden to talk about or solicit business at the club or grove.”
The “weaving spiders” motto also provides cover for a club that discriminates against women.
Thus, in the Bay Area, good liberals and civil libertarians who would not dream of joining a club that refuses to admit blacks or Jews, raise their glasses in a club that discriminates against women.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, is a member.
Vaughn Walker, the former federal judge who overturned California’s same-sex marriage law, is a member. MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews is a member.
Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart is a member. Ditto band member Bob Weir.
There are more big names on the right, starting with former President George H.W. Bush, former Gov. Pete Wilson and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Business titans have long bankrolled the retreats. A roster of 2010 members released by norcaltruth.org – the club does not release its membership list - includes a couple of Rockefellers and the ubiquitous Koch brothers. Hence conspiracy theories about sinister deals cut amid the redwoods.
Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt is a member. William R. Hearst III, trustee of the Hearst Corp., which writes my paycheck, is a member. I have friends who are members.
John McCain has addressed the group. Ditto Francis Ford Coppola.
Like good Democrats, Presidents Obama and Bill Clinton have avoided Bohemia.
“When I first started and they acquired my services, it was to help handle protests at the grove and the City Club,” Singer noted. “Over the years, it’s gone from a thousand people to literally one person.”
That one person is Brian Romanoff of norcaltruth.org, and he told me he doesn’t go there to “protest” so much as to “reach out and inform the members” as to why they should make retreat policy seminars – on Afghanistan or nuclear power – public.
He thinks some members are “probably guilty” of war crimes. He doesn’t reach out to them. “I don’t really want to get to know Henry Kissinger.”
