As a minor point of information, the Bohemian Club was founded on the principle that the rich and powerful business and political hacks this video speaks of should be exposed to and tempered by artists, musicians, magicians, comedians, writers, and other creative and intellectual forces. Hence the encampment at the grove. Does anyone seriously believe Bohemian Club members Bobby Weir and Mickey Hart are conspiring with the Trilateral Commission to take over the world? The menacing tone of the video may have some elements of truth but it is far from the true story of what goes on, I suspect. Sounds like just another conspiracy theory to me.

There are at least three schools of thought about what goes on during the summer encampment of the Bohemian Club at Bohemian Grove.
There's the dismissive school, that says it's just a bunch of rich guys and their court retainers having harmless fun.
There's the conspiricist school that says a whole bunch of things are going on there; satanic ritual, sex slaves, global empire planning and coordination, Illuminati, Trilateral Commission etc. (That school is led by the likes of Alex Jones, et al. and Anonymous seems to have attached to this school. They did so last year.)
And the realist school that points out the who's who among the Bohos, and what the topics and presenters for the Lakeside Talks are (when we can get the program, in the last few years they no longer hand out hard copies, you have to go to the security entrance and look at a copy under plexiglass) and what initiatives are launched there (Manhattan Project, Star Wars, etc.).
I belong to the latter school. Our demand is, "Don't plan our future in private!"
Both Anonymous and the revived Bohemian Grove Action Network are planning protest and educational events for this summer.

P.S. JBOX, The Bohemian Club was founded by journalists, writers and artists, Samuel Clemens among them, and when they found out that they didn't have enough money to throw the parties they wanted to enjoy, they started inviting business men to join.
Eventually, rather quickly actually, the businessmen took over. The majority of the members of the Bohemian Club in modern times are mid to high level insurance brokers and bankers from San Francisco.
They are not our focus, it's the smaller group of major industrialists and government officials both active and retired, who claim to be "just having a good time". But if the history is followed, it's clear they are discussing initiatives there first, that soon after become public policy. Without any significant public discussion before those policies are adopted.
