    "Bohos Open Gates to County Homeless"


    "Grove To Open Gates to County Homeless"
    by Maureen Dowdy

    In an unprecedented and totally unexpected gesture of compassion and generosity, the Bohemian Club has voted to allow its seasonal Monte Rio retreat to be used to shelter Sonoma County's homeless. "We've got dozens of cabins just sitting empty for some 50 weeks a year" announced club spokesman, Red Rumpole at an April 1 press conference, and we might as well put them to good use." The Grove has room to accomodate about a thousand individuals and is virtually empty other than for the two-week period during which the members have their encampment. "We've gotten some negative publicity as of late, what with all this talk about abusing children and human sacrifice," stated Rumpole, while chewing on a small femur, "and we want the locals and the world to know we're supportive when it comes to the needs of the community."
    Rumpole's reference was to apparent inflammatory remarks and graphics featured on the website, and on the radio talk show hosted by Texan Alex Jones (A cousin of infamous cult leader, Jim Jones). Jones's images and allegations led recently, to the nighttime "invasion" of the Grove's Monte Rio acreage by former Eagle Scout, Pat McGroyne, who is currently incarcerated in Monte Rio School's after-school detention room on charges of posession of forbidden photos, particularly one of the Grove's beloved past presidents, Salty Longpork, who demonstrates the best way to deal with the whiney and recalcitrant children of "new-age liberals" (see photo below).
    With bail set at $1.98, McGroyne is expected to remain in the detention room until his next hearing, scheduled for the day following that on which the Cubs clinch the World Series.
    "We know people (especially you 'lefties' and 'pinkos') think of us as elitist power brokers who enjoy our revels and self-indulgences, and we want to prove to the world we really care." Suggestions that the temporary residents may be asked to do some work in return for their accomodations "is simply not true", said Rumpole, and "only those who are bonafide Club members may participate in our ceremonies and rituals." For the Grove's protection, each "guest" will be asked to sign binding contracts and put up a bond to ensure theft and damage to Grove property. "We know it's unconventional", advised Rumpole, "but we feel justified in asking the Donor Clause be honored in case there are problems." Because the majority of those who will be staying at Bohemian Grove are insolvent, the contract will carry a proviso entitling the Club to any profits realized by the sale of human organs, should any of the recipients have the misfortune to meet with ("God forbid", intoned Rumpole) a serious accident. "All we need with our deep pockets is to be held liable for a mishap - our attorneys have advised us to make sure our a---s are covered".
    The County Board of Supervisors hailed the Grove's proposal as "a creative and painless solution to an ongoing problem", and pledged to waive any permit fees the Bohemian Club might incur in their efforts to make the homeless feel more secure and comfortable. Applications may be dropped off at the Grove and will be screened by a team of Bohemian Club and County staff members during the next few months.

    Dateline: Response to: Bohos Open Grove to Homeless"

    You are joking - I mean, you can't be Serious...
    Altogether, a good piece of Kitch. Kudoos to ya...
    I liked in particular the image from Goya, at the bottom of the Page:

    8467d1273542984t-bohos-open-gates-county-homeless-300px-saturno_devorando_a_sus_hijos.jpg

    But how about a Serious, Possible Solution for the Homeless Problem?

    - Privatize Mare Island, that is, Open it to Occupation by the General Public and by the Homeless. Let them Camp, in Designated Areas, in Tents & Tar-paper Shacks - as in the "Hoovervilles" of Old, Eighty years Ago. Let them Dwell, Also in some of the very Adequate > and also, very Empty, Apartments, and Living Quarters, that Remain, from Old, Wartime, Navy, Days...

    No, I do not mean, by the use of the word "Privatize," to make it available for any Corporation larger than, say, Ten Stock-holders, to buy a Portion of Mare Island from the Federal Government. =OR= More than Four Solid Acres of Earth, on the whole Place...=OR= For that matter, any couple, or Family, to Own more than Four Acres, Total, of "New Mares Island"

    Let there be no big Corporations there! NONE AT ALL, SAY, OVER TEN Stockholders at the Maximum! Let it be written into the Civil Law Code, for this Place:

    -This "New Mares Island," Let it be written that No Corporation having more than ten shareholders =OR= twelve board members=Whichever is Least= shall have any Part, nor ever be able to own any Part, of this Sovereign Territory of "New Mares Island." Period...

    I just mean that it should be sold off, by the Government, to small-holders, who can start small businesses, or run small Hospitals as Doctor/Nurse Collectives, & small Factories, and Productive Works which, in turn can employ - at least Some...

    ... of the homeless families, and Perennially homeless Viet Nam veterans, and their old girl friends, who may eventually show up there, show up there... ... ...

    ...By the way, I'm the original smart Alec who wrote the Original Dad blamed Article just mildly, mind ya, just surmising, that "The Owl of Bohemia bears "too much of a Resemblance to the ancient Canaanite Idol "gott", "MOLOCH"to be taken sae lightly, nor be dismissed sae quickly, and, wi 'out Prejudice - Words to that effect, and similar, also, in Constancy...

    Bohemian Bigwigs Perpetuate Canaanite Cult









    Although the 1992 Republican Convention in Houston touted the virtues of "Family Values", Judeo-Christian Civilization, the Bible, and Main Street, in a transparent strategy to equate Religion with the Reagan/Bush phenomenon, it is an Open Secret on the Russian River in Sonoma County, California, that when Reagan and Bush and other Republican movers and shakers meet, and let their hair down at
    the annual Summer encampment at Bohemian Grove, another tune is played.

    The 2800-acre Bohemian Grove, property of the Bohemian Club of San Francisco, is
    situated on the south shore of the Russian River, near Monte Rio, four miles west
    of Guerneville.

    "Bohemians," "Bohos" for short, roughly 2500 in number, bi-partisan in politics,
    although mostly Republican and representing a spread of ruling class and upper
    echelon bagmen, constitute perhaps the most exclusive men's club in the Western
    Hemisphere, a veritable Who's Who of corporate board members, bankers,
    entertainers, faded literati, World-Class politicians, and heads
    of Government.

    In stark contrast to the warmed-over Moral Majority pabulum that was mixed and
    served at the Republican Convention, vacationing Bohemians under the shadow of
    giant Redwoods, hunker down to a different species of mixed drinks. "Family
    Values" also are left behind, or perhaps temporarily forgotten, as procurers for
    both female, and male prostitutes, on "the river" do a booming business, and
    Bohos let it all hang out.

    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.

    "The ceremony... involves the burning of an effigy named Dull Care, who
    symbolizes the burdens and responsibilities these harried Bohemians now wish to
    shed temporarily. More than 100 Bohemians take part in the ceremony as priests,
    acolytes, torch-bearers, brazier bearers, boatmen, and woodland voices, but
    despite many flowery speeches, they can't get the fire started... the perplexed
    Bohemians must turn to the mighty Owl for advice:

    "O thou, great symbol of all mortal wisdom, Owl of Bohemia, we do beseech thee,
    grant us thy counsel," intones the high priest.

    "An aura of light creates a glow around the Owl's head, and then the big bird
    reveals its wisdom. The High Priest must light the pyre with the flame from the
    Lamp of Fellowship, located conveniently enough on the "Altar of Bohemia" at the
    base of the Shrine..."


    I will add, that the "priests, acolytes, and torch bearers" who participate in
    this ceremony are clad in Red and Orange hooded robes that bear a strong
    resemblance to the hooded regalia of the Ku Klux Klan.

    Jack Anderson, writing in the Sunday supplement, Parade Magazine, on February 22,
    1981, disarmingly stated
    "...the participants in this strange ceremony were not
    part of a secret conspiracy or far-out cult that had infiltrated the nation's
    power structure. They were simply enjoying a midsummer frolic at the world's
    most exclusive summer camp..."
    Should the Cremation of Care ceremony so quickly be dismissed, without prejudice,
    given the occultic nature of the ceremony, and its historical antecedents?

    The Cremation of Care ceremony bears too strong a resemblance to the ancient
    Canaanite worship of the idol, Molech, to be so readily dismissed. The "Owl of
    Bohemia," like the ancient Ammonite idol, Molech, is a towering, larger-than-life
    edifice.


    The bronze Molech was hollow inside, whereas the Owl is solid, and the altar
    stands before it. Molech worship consisted of the ritualized sacrifice of the
    first-born infant son of every Ammonite newlywed family. Building a fire in the
    belly of the beast, getting it good and stoked, so that the flames poured out of
    the mouth, the high priest mounted a scaffold and tossed the first born male
    child into an aperture in Molech's chest, to the incantation of drums and the
    droned liturgy of the priests of Molech.

    Technically, Owl worship, as it is practiced at the Grove is somewhat different
    from Molech worship. Peter Weiss, writing in Spy Magazine in November 1989,
    states,

    "Bohemian Club literature ... pious on this score ... boasts that the Cremation
    of Care ceremony derives from Druid rites, medieval Christian liturgy, the Book
    of Common Prayer, Shakespearean drama, and nineteenth century American lodge
    rites."


    Does the Bohos' sugar-coating of the ritual of the Cremation of Care, for what
    seems to be purposes of Public Relations, obscure a darker, psychological aspect
    of the rite? Are we faced with the continuity of a tradition of Sacrificial
    Rite, even on a symbolic level? This is significant in, and of itself. Moreover,
    persistent rumors and reports from various sources, tell of bizarre rituals,
    child snuff films, (films in which a child is murdered) and other horrors taking
    place within the confines of The Grove.

    In September of 1992, this author, and others spoke with former Nebraska State
    Senator John W. DeCamp, author of the book, The Franklin Cover-Up, at the Luther
    Burbank Center, in Santa Rosa. John DeCamp told us that the account of Paul
    Bonacci's testimony, (pages 103-104 of the above book) regarding a snuff film
    that was made on July 26, 1984, in California in "an area that had big trees",
    had been edited to omit the references to an enormous, Moss-covered Owl, and men
    in hooded, red robes.

    DeCamp told this author and others, that when he wrote the book he did not know
    about the Owl at the Grove, and he had reasoned that it just "seemed too
    far-fetched for people to believe." When in the fall of 1992, Paul Bonacci, still
    in prison in Nebraska, was shown a black and white photograph of the Moss-covered
    Owl taken at the Grove, he quickly identified it as the site of the July 1984,
    child snuff film atrocity described in DeCamp's book. Though this tangible and
    verifiable evidence has been available to law enforcement officials since
    mid-October of 1992, it is curious and appalling that no official effort to bring
    about justice has followed.

    One might assume, however, that the members of Bohemian Grove, unlike the ancient
    Canaanite Molech-worshippers, are not sacrificing their own children. Bohemian
    Club members, however hard they may strive in the business world, are members of
    the leisure class and as such assume the mantle of being the practitioners,
    rather than the objects, of sacrifice.

    No. Whatever sacrificing of humans is to be done, it must be the children of
    others: the poor, urban blacks, native Americans, Africans, third worldlings, et
    al, who are the objects, and victims. Bohemians, after all, are duty bound to
    preserve their own bloodlines, for if these should fail, who would be left to
    nobly take up the burden of dominion, and to inherit the reins of power?

    The casket that is christened "Dull Care" then, and that is borne, like the
    passing of Arthur in a boat, across the lake, seems subconsciously to be a
    symbol, to the Boho cultists, not only of the "cares of the world," but of caring
    itself. Symbolically immolated with the effigy in the casket are the hopes and
    dreams of the millions of souls around the globe whose lives have been affected
    by the wars of Yankee Imperialism in the twentieth century, including the
    hundreds of thousands of American war dead and the suffering engendered upon
    their wives, mothers, families, and loved ones. For the denizens of the Grove
    veritably possess, as a collective body, the power to make, and to orchestrate,
    War, the Modern Moloch.

    In their insatiable greed for more Money, and Power, Bohos must purge by fire the
    inherent human tendency within themselves to feel, and to care. In the ritual
    ceremony of the Cremation of Care, the Bohos are symbolically torching the
    consequences of their own business transactions; and they are immolating their
    own consciences, as well.

    The existence of a Pagan cult of Sacrifice amongst the power elite at Bohemian
    Grove gives the lie to all the propaganda promoted by the corporate Media
    pundits, as well as "leftist" journalists, and fostered by politicians of both
    parties, that the Republican Party, in embracing "family values," Bible morality
    and "Pro-Life," anti-abortion positions, in 1992, was "taken over" by its Moral
    Majority, "Right Wing".

    It should be apparent that the Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells are not powerful
    enough to have "taken over" the Republican Party. Rather, the power elite, who
    are amoral and always bi-partisan, have been using the religious right as
    "useful idiots," to borrow Lenin's phrase, and are engaged in the long-term
    Thesetic (Hegelian) process of manipulating the masses into the mental
    acceptance of what the think tanks have termed "The New Paradigm" - Which is
    nothing more than the social liturgy of the high priests of the New World Order.
    These men are perfectly willing to sacrifice half the population of the world on
    the altar of Genocide, in order to maintain the economic hegemony of their
    precious multinational cartels.

    The world that the plutocrats are attempting to bring to birth is, necessarily,
    far more Babylonian and Pagan than "Christian." The twenty-year alliance between
    the "Christian Right," and the Republican Party, so useful in its day, in
    accomplishing the economic agenda of the power elite during the Reagan-Bush
    years, may eventually come to an end.

    Already, in some quarters, this association is being turned on its head, and
    appears as another kind of asset by the manipulators of the Dialectic. The
    religious Right by their silence and approval of the Iran-Contra and the Gulf
    War, were complicit in the sins and the genocidal policies of Reagan-Bush.

    Just as Jews were scapegoated in Hitler's Germany, Christians, increasingly, may
    become the fall guys and the sacrificial lambs for the ruling-class in the near
    future, as the dialecticians maneuver the armies of the night into the
    battle-formations of the Final Conflict. The ruling class has already adroitly
    convinced both the Left and the "Christian Right," that each other is the main
    enemy.


    It only remains to orchestrate a crescendo of conflict between both camps, (the
    Abortion issue is a useful tool here), to knock both out, and eliminate
    substantial sectors of resistance to the New World Order in the process. For
    similar purposes of social control, (and taking the heat off the ruling class), a
    Race - or Holy War scenario - might also be deemed effective.

    The denizens of The Grove are well aware of the critical path of the decade of
    the nineties. After conducing various elements of the Masses to fall upon each
    other, they expect to be able to continue their sacrifices in peace, in their
    corporate-feudal Shangri-La, in the new world they are earnestly bringing to
    birth, a new age,in which ritual sacrificing of live humans shall be considered
    Normal, and healthy. Is it to be such a world, then, as Jacques Soustelle
    describes in his work on The Aztecs, where "Sacrifice was a sacred
    duty towards the Sun, and a necessity for the welfare of men..." ?

    Letter to the Editor : The Bohos Strike Back





    July 12, 1993


    Mr. Terry Schembari,
    Editor-Publisher
    Santa Rosa Sun
    1275 Fourth Street
    P. 0. Box608
    Santa Rosa, CA
    95404


    Dear Mr. Schembari:



    The feature article "Inside Bohemian Grove" (Sun, July 8-21 issue) should have
    been headlined "Inside a Writer's Addled Head." The malevolent concoctions about
    "sacrificial rites," etc., at the Bohemian Grove can only be characterized as
    freakish fantasy.

    The "Cremation of Care" is a musical and verse pageant heralding a two-week
    midsummer escape from business cares and celebrating nature and good fellowship.
    As grand-scale stage drama, it may be a bit overdrawn; but it's about as innocent
    as anything could be.

    The owl has always been the Bohemian Club's symbolic "mascot," representing the
    redwood forest's preserve of wisdom, beauty, and peace. The 4O-foot owl
    sculpture, created by a famous sculptor-member of the club in the early 1920s, is
    no more or less than an admirable work of art, monumentally portraying the owl
    symbol to enhance an outdoor stage.

    The enclosed information will take you and your readers find more realistically
    "inside the Bohemian Grove" and Bohemian Club than do Mr. Evans' weird, wild
    imaginings.

    Yours truly, 464' Richard Arnold, Member, Public Information enclosed. 824
    TAYLOR STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 94102-1075. (415) 885~2440











    In Response To Mr. Arnold:




    Your reaction, as spokesman for the Bohemian Club, to the serious allegations of
    wrong doing, public and private, leveled in my article, was predictable, and I am
    glad you responded; it lets us know that someone is paying attention. It is
    typical of the Modus Operandi of powerful people and institutions in dealing with
    unpleasant charges, to dismiss them by discrediting the bearer of the bad news,
    or the journalist, in this case. Your words, "addled," "freakish," "weird," do
    not offend me, nor the staff of this publication.

    As a journalist, I stand by the words that I have written, give or take the
    several typos that were generated in the process of the getting the article in
    print. I am not responsible however, for the captions that were written beneath
    the photographs of the "Owl of Bohemia;" They were written by the editor.

    A sizable body of journalism has been published over the years about the Grove.
    William Domhoff's excellent book, The Bohemian Grove, and Other Retreats, A Study
    in Ruling Class Cohesiveness,
    Harper and Row, 1974, is far more specific about
    the ritual of the Cremation of Care, interlocking corporate board connections,
    and naming names of Bohemian Club members, than my brief article. To my
    knowledge, however, your letter represents the first time The Bohemian Club has
    publicly responded to critical attention in the media. We can only conclude that
    somehow it struck a nerve.

    What is unique about my article is the connection I make between the "Cremation
    of Care" ceremony, and the continuity of sacrificial rites, real or symbolic,
    going back to Moloch-worship in the land of Canaan. There is a lot of very
    interesting, and academic material on this subject (for those of you who still
    read) that can be gleaned by cross-referencing The White Goddess, by Robert
    Graves, and The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop.

    If anything, I am guilty of knowing too much, and of having a mind that is
    capable of making connections. Also, I don't tow the party line that Jack
    Anderson espoused in his piece in Parade Magazine, February 22, 1981,
    (Journalists tend to cover their asses), that you guys are "merely enjoying a
    midsummer frolic at the world's most exclusive Summer camp." My article
    questions the "darker, psychological aspects" of your "rite."

    Also, I establish the equation that War is the modern equivalent of Moloch,
    and I remind the reader of the facts, so thoroughly documented in Professor
    Domhoff's book, The Bohemian Grove, of the enormous pull, and influence in the
    Military-Industrial complex represented by Bohemian Club members. I do not
    assume, as a lot of liberals are busy doing, that because Clinton is President
    you guys will not continue to make, and orchestrate wars all over the planet.

    I am well aware that by writing what I have written, I have made myself a target.
    Already, the editor of this newspaper has received threats on the telephone.
    Several days before the article was published, my brakes failed while coming
    down a steep bill, here in Sonoma County. I am simply stating this for the
    record.

    The allegations about sexual philandering and the snuff film are serious, but
    they are pale by comparison to what you (Club Members, collectively) have done
    abroad as Imperialists, to the Third World. The fact is, however, that most
    Americans are blind, or oblivious to the excesses of American Imperialism, but
    they love, and jealously protect their own children. The majority of Americans
    can be manipulated through media hype, into buying a short, sweet war ('a Ia,
    the Gulf War), but would be appalled if they knew, and realized that the same,
    small class of oppressors who profited to the tune of BILLIONS from the Gulf
    War, were kidnapping, raping, and sacrificing their own children.

    As things have developed, however, some of your "Club Members" have become
    somewhat careless, and it was only a matter of time, or osmosis, until the word
    of some of the kinkier aspects of ruling class behavior leaked out. At some
    point, some of you crossed over the line, and the cavalier attitude that you
    maintain about raping, looting, and plundering the non European sector of the
    planet was bound to exhibit itself in extracurricular behavior here at home.

    As Jesus Christ said, long ago "There is nothing done in secret, that shall not
    be made known, and come abroad." The American people are just beginning to
    awaken to the reality that all is not really wonderful here in the land of
    plenty, and that we are saddled with a very real plutocracy of roughly five
    thousand white men, who consider the rest of us (non-managers, that is), as
    peasants, fools, and mere fodder - for the bread of oppression.

    It is only because a certain fateful chain of events unfolded in front of me, and
    the dark secret of the snuff film that was mentioned on pages 103 & 104 of John
    DeCamp's book The Franklin Cover-Up, came to the attention of myself, and
    several friends, that I felt compelled to write the article you now flippantly
    dismiss. We cannot vouch that Mr. De Camp, former Nebraska State Senator, and
    protégé of William Colby (Nixon's interim C.I.A Chief), will admit to the
    conversation(s) in question. De Camp has since learned about the clout of the
    Bohemians. My friends and I, however, are quite willing to testify in court, and
    to take lie detector tests, should the people call for a Grand Jury to
    investigate this matter.

    I suggest that if you are really serious about defending the honor of the Grove
    from the charges that I have written in my article (and I have just touched the
    tip of the iceberg), that you take me to court, and sue me for libel. That would
    be very interesting, because then, Sir, I would get discovery, and we could
    proceed to open up the can of worms over Paul Bonacci's testimony about the snuff
    film that was made on July 26, 1984.

    Mark Walter Evans Columnist, Sun Newspapers, published in late July, of 1993


    Editor's Note: We called Mr. Arnold and asked if we could attend the
    "celebration" this year, and were to1d "absolutely not." Though the propaganda
    sent to us by Mr. Arnold stated that members may bring guests, he refused to
    allow us to have a look for ourselves.
