["Mad" Miles]

As the organizer of the 2002 Fat Cats Festival & Parade Bohemian Grove protest, and someone who gets Mary Moore's emails on a daily basis (and moderates the list she forwards her stuff to, [email protected]) I think I should inform those who are interested in Mark's forwarded announcement that the people organizing this protest mostly fall into the extreme right wing conspiricist conservative camp and are inspired by the claims made about the annual Bohemian Club Summer Camp by Alex Jones.

With an emphasis on the secret, Satanic, purported child sacrifice (whether symbolic or strongly implied actual) rumors about the opening ceremony, the "Cremation of Care". Among other nefarious New World Order activities they are supposedly up to.

Less emphasis from that area of the political spectrum is paid to what I and many informed others consider the real issue, the planning of our global future in private and without our democratic input. This primarily through the topics discussed at the Lakeside Talks held every day for the two weeks of the men's gathering that is the Boho Grove event.

As Mary put it in recent emails, the tone of the criticism from Alex Jones et al is that if they just didn't do it in secret, somehow it would be all OK. She has debunked the claims of Jones and the organizers of this hastily called protest here:

https://www.sonomacountyfreepress.co...s/disinfo.html

and here:

https://www.sonomacountyfreepress.co...s/lunatic.html

Every year the titles of the talks given gets published on that website, along with the name of the speaker. Worth reading before climbing on the bandwagon of those who do more rumor mongering than fact checking.

But what do I know? After our protest in 2002 Mary informed me that she and I had been branded, "Robot Radicals", since we would not acknowledge the existence of the dungeons for the sex slaves that are dug under each camp in the grove. Although to be honest, I don't recall anyone asking me to do so (confirm or deny) the existence of said dungeons, prior to the accusation being cast.

For the record, I have no clue whether they exist or not. But from what I do know, it is highly unlikely. Still, I haven't been there myself to dig around and make sure one way or another. So no, I do not "deny" their existence.

I held forth here about a year and a quarter ago (or more) about what I found out about Alex Jones when reading webchats for hours from Austin TX from over the past decade and more. Let's just say I don't give him any credence whatsoever. Even if there are a few scattered verifiable facts salted throughout his alarmist, self-promoting and demagogic ravings.

The same could be said for Lyndon LaRoush, Father Coughlin, Joseph McCarthy and many others. And they had their followers as well.

Protesters gather outside Bohemian Grove
By GUY KOVNER
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT
Published: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 at 3:04 p.m.

About 45 people showed up Wednesday near the entrance to the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, marking the first protest against the summer encampment of the wealthy and powerful Bohemians.

The protesters, whose presence was reported at 6:45 a.m., were standing on the right shoulder of the road and were not breaking any laws, CHP Officer Jon Sloat said.

“Everybody was peaceful and law-abiding,” he said.

Two CHP officers remained at the scene along with Sonoma County sheriff's deputies. By 11:45 a.m. the protesters were gone, he said.

Sloat said he did not know who had organized the protest,and protesters issued no public statement.

The encampment, expected to draw 2,400 male members and their guests, begins Friday and runs through July 31 at the Bohemian Club's 2,700-acre enclave along the Russian River.

The protest appears to be related to a YouTube video announcing the launch of “Operation Bohemian Grove” at dawn on Wednesday, saying the first step would be “occupation” of the intersection of Bohemian Avenue and Railroad Avenue.

The video, which opens with the sound of an air raid siren, says that participants should block the entrance to the grove “until the presence of the police state requires you to move."

“Do this in a peaceful non-combative way,” it says.

The grove encampments, which date back to 1878, include corporate titans and political leaders. No women, other than grove employees, are allowed.

No significant protests have occurred at the grove in recent years, but Matt Oggero, the club's general manager, said last week he wouldn't be surprised to see “a few people show up” this summer.

Club activities, which include daily talks around a lake, are not as outrageous as the club's critics allege, Oggero said. “It's a group of guys out in the woods having a good time,” he said.

The video asserts that “important political and business deals are discussed and established at the Bohemian Grove, which is a direct violation of law in most concerned countries.”

Mary Moore, whose Bohemian Grove Action Network organized protests in the past, said her group has nothing planned this summer.

The YouTube video, posted on June 24, has received more than 65,000 hits. It was posted by a group called 2ndrevolt.com, which has a website under construction that lists no names or contact numbers.

In Response to "Mad" Miles:

I began by writing a short missive, because I still do not have the time to write a long one. Frankly I do not care about Alex Jones's politics, or credentials - or whether or not Miles Mendenhall respects him or not - but I certainly think that to compare Alex Jones to Lyndon LaRoush (sic) {it is spelled LaRouche} Father Coughlin, Joseph McCarthy, et al, is to miss the mark a bit - as well as to indulge in a subliminal form of McCarthyism of your own, Miles, while you take a cheap shot at me. Greg Palast has called Alex Jones a "national treasure" - but I would not go that far. Indeed, he may be an asset of some interest group/or other.

Furthermore, when I posted the event at the top of this thread, I had no idea at all who this so-called "Anonymous" was, who called the Wednesday morning demonstration. Nor do I think that it really matters. I am glad that Someone=Anyone from amongst the hoi polloi, is still protesting what is going on inside the Bohemian Grove - and I do not care if the Times Light categorizes them as the Lunatic Fringe, either. Let them play divide & rule games, as they will - and as they must. Obviously, they are bound to do that, because they must serve the interests of their stock-holders; some of whom, no doubt, are Club Members. What does bother me, Miles, is that You are echoing & mimicking blatantly transparent propaganda - and stupid opinions - registered in an establishment mouth-piece of a newspaper.

When I arrived late, on Wednesday morning, at the the gate of the Bohemian Grove, I found only a small group of twenty-something younger generation hippies and hempsters from Arcata and Humbolt County standing outside the gate, as witnesses against the oligarchy. Frankly I do not think that categorizing people as "left wing" or "right wing" serves any constructive purpose at all. People are people, and the small group of protesters that I met on Wednesday morning, who were not part of the "event" group who had already left, certainly could not, by any stretch of the imagination, be considered either "right wing" or "lunatics."

They are the next generation, and the young people I met on Wednesday gave me some hope for the Future. At least some young folks still care about registering a Protest at the Grove and are willing to make a stand against the power elitists who daily practice political and economic oppression as their stock in trade in their day jobs - as well as Occult, Pagan rituals, in the bad boys summer camp atmosphere of the Bohemian Grove...

I think that Mary Moore is doing a great disservice to the Cause, if, indeed she has called off the protest this year. But this is not the first time she has done this. She did it before, back in 1993, in the immediate aftermath of the publication of an article of mine, simultaneously, in the North Coast Xpress, and The Santa Rosa Sun; with a total press run of thirty thousand. The article made waves - and Mary Moore, evidently fearing the undertow of the surf, called the demonstration off, just days before it was scheduled to happen. Some obliging reporter at the Times Light, then also, was glad to register Mary's comment: Mary said that since Billy Clinton was now the president that somehow things were less bad. Ha! Bill Clinton also, according to the membership list, in the pdf-as-footnote, at the bottom of this page, has been a guest of Bohemian Grove, at least once.

As the author of the original article - back in 1993 - that made a connection between the Cremation of Care Ceremony, and the Moloch cult, that ouzed out of the seminal cultural matrix of Canaan and the Lebanon; I think that I am qualified to say that I do know a little more about these issues, than you do, Miles. For those who are curious about what I had to say way back then, you may view it here. https://www.paleoprogressives.org/bohemian-bigwigs.html

Mark,

Other than mentioning that you forwarded the announcement, I did not characterize you in any way. Unlike your reply and other recent posts on waccobb.net in which you have taken it upon yourself to disparage me.

You didn't read the two articles I linked from Sonoma County Free Press, did you.

If you had, you would know that Mary didn't "cancel" anything. There has been no protest organized at the Grove for several years. Not organizing something, is not the same as canceling it.

I stand by my remarks about Alex Jones. He's a demagogue, and any serious investigation of his biography and history of agitation shows that with clarity. It's not just my opinion, as anyone who wishes to take the time, as I did, to look at the range of discussion about him over the years, can find out for themselves. Some of it is not easy to find, it's buried in old chat logs from the Austin area, but it's there. Part of the reason that I think he hasn't been thoroughly and professionally debunked, is that he is so marginal that no one has seen any percentage in making the effort. But there's plenty of commentary easily found via google to allow curious minds to make their own decisions.

As for me engaging in McCarthyism. Please, I don't believe I've convened any Senate hearings. Nor have I said anything about Jones being part of a global conspiracy to destroy our freedoms and way of life. Etc. Hyperbole, does not a cogent argument make.

Open Letter of Apology to R. Miles Mendenhall, III

Dear Miles:

I have always liked you as a person. I think you know that that is true - and while it would be an exaggeration to say that we have been friends for years, it is undeniably true that we have been friendly acquaintances, for years. I frankly still do like you, as a person, Miles, and I also respect your intellect, though I am beginning to question the originality of some of your thinking.

You write, in my "reply and other recent posts on waccobb.net... [I] have taken it upon [myself] to disparage [you]."

No, Miles; let's get this straight: I do not disparage you at all. In fact I have hope, great hope, that you will come to your senses and do something bigger, better, more noble, and also more Radical, with your time, this Summer, this particular "LONG HOT SUMMER" than write food reviews, while Rome is burning.

Now, I am apologizing, in public, and in this Forum here, to you, Miles, for having posted the wrong copy of a former missive I wrote on WaccoBB.net, back on the Jenkel/Hobbs thread. It was a stupid mistake, Miles, and I blame it on the incredible heat of that weekend. Here are my offending words:

Iolchan wrote:
Of course, if you happen to be a recovering anarchist, like Brer "Mad" Miles, and agree with Pierre-Joseph Proudhon that all "property is theft," you might not give a damn about what has happened to "poor Mr. Jenkel."

Which was , in truth, my own little private joke that I had written, & which should have been kept quite private, just between me, myself, and I, instead of ever seeing the light of day, and being posted online, and, alas, offending you, my dear, sweet, former friendly acquaintance. Instead, i should have simply left my quote, of myself, as it was, and posted this:

Iolchan wrote:
which phenomenon might signal to us, that if we own "property" in California, the title might not be all that secure these days, folks. Of course, if you happen to be an anarchist, and agree with Pierre-Joseph Proudhon that all "property is theft," you might not give a damn about what has happened to "poor Mr. Jenkel."

O.K. So Miles I Apologize. Can't we all just get along? You can't say that there has not been just a trifle, shall we say, of the vendetta in your comments in this thread towards me-uns.

Look, Miles: fine, we understand your opinion: Alex Jones is, according to You, and Mark Potok, of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a "demagogue." Great. But so was Huey Long, by the same 'light.' And yet Huey Long had a whole lot to say on the floor of the Senate that was spot on - especially about what was wrong with Franklin D. Roosevelt's so-called "banking reform" that was done during 1933 and 1934; and they killed him for it. And all the thanks Huey Long got, for his articulate exposition on the floor of the Senate, was a bullet in the stomach and the privilege of being remembered in the collective mind by the historically inaccurate slurs of Hollywood.

In a like manner, Alex Jones has, in my opinion, performed a similar public service, in his documentary The Obama Deception - in which he shows that there was, during the inter-regnum, an unbroken continuity and, moreover a co-ordination of Effort, between the Bush Administration, and the in-coming Obama Administration, when it came to giving the fat cats of Wall Street everything they wanted during the bailout. So, I say: "demagogue/ shmemagogue." And I also stand by my words:

As far as Mary Moore not having organized an event this year, I think that can be attributed to weltshmertz, and ennui. Perhaps Mary could consider tossing the baton to someone new - that is, if there is anyone to take up the thankless job that she has done {fairly well I may add, with a few hiati, over the years.} To her credit, she has put in a lot of hard work, for many years; Yes. And, yes, I did read your links, Miles, but I sped-read them, so I missed that detail. Sorry; my mistake.

As far as engaging in left-wing McCarthyism, Miles: One does not need to sit in the Senate, or preside over Senatorial Inquisitions of marked individuals to do that - one needs only to indulge in the cheap tactic of guilt-by-association; which can even be done subliminally, with Language, as Noam Chomsky has shown us, in his works on Linguistics.

And to link Lyndon LaRouche, Father Couglin, and Joseph McCarthy in one sentence, without following it with any analysis at all, of how those three men differ { and they are very different from each other } is a Slur, in itself.

Furthermore, to link Alex Jones with those three {without a detailed analysis of how they all differ} is also a Slur - as well as being an example of shoddy thinking. Typical, of what I, in my career as an unpaid dilettante journalist { Yes, I embrace the word, & it has stuck } have termed "Left-wing McCarthyism."

Peace, Miles, Pax, Shalom, Salaam.

Best Regards,

- Mark

Progress Report Re:Bohemian Grove Action
Saturday, & Sunday, July 16 & 17, 2011:

This one { me-uns } went, this year, to the Gate of Bohemian Grove, to protest what the fat cats are doing, around the world - as war-mongers, as genocidal maniacs, and as greedy, plundering capitalists. I was very saddened that more people did not show up, to make a stand, and to make a witness. At a time when the Agenda of the power elite is in high gear, hastening the imposition of a kind of universal, or International Fascism, I for one, wish to state for the Record, that I miss the presence of the Left at the gate of the Grove. There should have been thousands of protesters.

As it was, there were only a few 'leftists' out there - and the majority of the protesters who were present this year, came in response to the organizing done by Deborah Tavares, of Sebastopol. Although someone has typified them as " the extreme right wing conspiricist conservative camp;" that's not an accurate assessment. To make such statements, abstractly, pompously, and without doing the necessary hard work of investigative reporting - {which involves being present} - falls right into the classic ruling class trap of helping the ruling class in their war on the rest of us, by unconsciously assisting them in their quest of dividing & conquering the opposition.

It is a downright, deep tragedy, that the Left, as the ideological heirs of the Puritans of the 1640's { check out Rebecca Solnit on this thread of analysis } must shun "right-wingers" in the same manner that fundamentalist groups shun "sinners." To do that, however, at this time, in my opinion, is to engage in a silly food-fight - but one with tragic consequences. I remember the Free Speech movement in Berkeley, in the Fall of 1964. Back then, there were tables of every faction, party, and tendency lined up along the sycamore saplings on upper Sproul Plaza.There were even Goldwater Republicans, and YAF'ers { young americans for freedom, William F. Buckley's faction} who were involved, and concerned about Free Speech on Campus.... More is better.

Shame on the Left, for staying away. Have you all gone to sleep because of Obama? =OR= are you just tired and worn out? Or is it that you just wish to show your ideological purity by shunning an event that was called by a middle class couple { Deborah and Lou Tavares } who have just recently woken up to the reality of ruling class wickedness? On some level, they are just coming awake to the principle of Class War. At least they know where to go to protest ! Their issues : Smart Meters-as-killing-machines, Chemtrails-as-Malthusian-genocide of all "useless eaters," & even Ritual Sacrifice, are all legitimate issues, and, in my humble opinion, may safely be subsumed - along with War Crimes - into the complete litany and politically correct Smorgasborg of all the Reasons to be against the Bohos. There are plenty of reasons - the more the merrier...

I was interviewed by Brian Romanoff, one of the few young people with a coherent class analysis of the Bohemian Grove who attended the protest this year. The interview is here: https://thebohemiangroveblog.wordpress.com/

Not to sound the horn for Alex Jones - but just as information - Here is Alex Jones, being interviewed on the subject of Bohemian Grove, on Russia Television, published July 16, 2011. I would suggest, that if you click on the link below, it would be wise to stay with it, and watch the whole sequence, and not be put off by the title, "Alex Jones reveals gay rituals of Bohemian Grove."

It does appear that the Texas video-Journalist does have a certain degree of class analysis, class. The word demagogue is simply not le mot juste to describe this man {Alex Jones} simply because certain left- gatekeepers have indicated that they do not like his style...

Bohemian Bigwigs Perpetuate Canaanite Cult

- Published July 8, 1993, simultaneously, in
The Santa Rosa Sun & the North Coast Xpress -

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

forty-foot [Ferro-cement] Owl... made more resplendent by the mottled forest

"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 Moloch-worshipers, 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 over 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 {are} 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-War - or a "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

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,

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.

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.
