Bohemian club perhaps the most powerful private organization in existence and also one of the most controversial thanks to its reputation for doing some shall we say unusual things when the world is looking the other way the bohemian club was founded in san francisco way back in 1872 by a group of
Journalists with an interest in the arts but over the course of its near 150 year history the demographic of its members has shifted dramatically the artists are still there but these days the journalists have mostly been replaced by a generous helping of some of the most influential men alive we’re talking
Multiple u.s presidents ceos of the world’s largest companies ivy league university directors curators of renowned museums leading scientists and a whole host of prominent politicians and policy makers from across the globe it used to be said that if you weren’t on the waiting list for membership by the age of 30 you’d be
Dead before being accepted but it isn’t just a long list of illustrious members that makes the bohemian club so intriguing because every year a couple of thousand of its members descend on a private tract of redwood forest in northern california for what can best be described as a
Two-week scout camp with a twist that twist being remarkable amounts of alcohol a series of bizarre rituals and some of the world’s most powerful men in drag welcome to bohemian grove the camp kicks off every year in the same strange and slightly terrifying fashion with the ritual burning of a human sacrifice
I meant with the ritual burning of a human effigy in sacrifice sorry that was quite an important difference wasn’t it this ceremony known as the cremation of care is purely symbolic the effigy represents the club members many cares and responsibilities by burning it the worries of the outside
World are banished to spice things up a bit the whole ceremony takes place under the watchful gaze of a towering 12 meter owl statue the bohemian club’s mascot this giga owl takes an active part in the ceremony too speaking in the pre-recorded voice of legendary news reader walter cronkite
And just in case all of that wasn’t weird enough bohemian club members who take part in the ceremony all wear what look like ku klux klan robes that someone accidentally put through the wash with a red sock it probably sounds like i’m making all of this up but
Seriously the cremation of care ceremony happens each and every year to open the bohemian grove camp alex jones of infowars fame even managed to film it once after sneaking into the grove back in the year 2000 scarily enough having witnessed the ceremony first hand jones was convinced it wasn’t an effigy
That was being burnt at all but an actual living human child sacrificed by these men who rule the world as part of some disturbing occultist ritual once the cremation of care is out of the way and everyone’s worries have been thoroughly incinerated the camp truly begins the location itself is stunning by the
Way nestled amongst towering california redwoods the world’s largest trees bohemian grove is big enough to house several thousand club members simultaneously there’s an open-air dining circle that can seat 1500 people and as for sleeping arrangements there are a dozen or so smaller camps spread across the site each with its own distinct reputation
And famous patrons george bush senior walter cronkite and nasa astronaut frank bormann are known to have favored a camp known as hillbillies and herbert hoover was a longtime occupant of caveman make of that what he will this picture from 1967 was taken at breakfast in a camp called owl’s nest
One of the most prestigious harvey hancock is the one in the middle he was eisenhower’s campaign manager during the 1952 american election the guy sitting on either side ronald reagan and richard nixon oil magnate edwin paulie and nobel prize winning chemist glenn seborg are also present
So how do these masters of the universe spend their two-week sojourn in the forest aside from burning children alive obviously well there are daily lakeside talks given by important club members and regular entertainment in the form of high and low jinx which are basically just performances of various kinds usually comedy or music
But what bohemian grove is really all about is getting hammered then urinating both frequently and aggressively the first drink of the day a gin fizz is served in bed by camp staff and the alcohol keeps on flowing until long after the sun’s gone down unsurprisingly considering bohemian club members are
Almost exclusively gentlemen of advanced years with prostates the size of medicine balls there’s a lot of visits to the little boy’s room or at least i would be if there actually was a little boy’s room bohemian club members urinate exclusively in the great outdoors a privilege so important to them they’ve
Even fought to defend it in court i’ll get to that in a minute with so many influential people rubbing shoulders you’re probably assuming that plenty of important business deals and world altering policy decisions are made at the camp every year but the club is strict when it comes to talking business
Its motto is weaving spiders come not here a line from shakespeare’s a midsummer night’s dream that warns that bohemian grove isn’t supposed to be used as an opportunity to network or do business deals but like basically all mottos ever this one is widely ignored plenty of people go to bohemian grove with an
Agenda and whilst most of the earth-shuttering decisions that have been made during boozy nights amongst the redwoods are remembered only by those involved a few have become public knowledge for example rumor has it that an early planning meeting for manhattan project including the likes of robert oppenheimer and nobel prize winning
Physicist ernest lawrence took place during the 1942 iteration of bohemian grove directly leading to the invention of the atomic bomb earth-shattering indeed by the way if all this important people get together to do weird stuff in the woods business is sounding kind of familiar it may be that you’re a house
Of cards fan in series 5 of the netflix show frank underwood played by kevin spacey goes on an outdoor retreat with a fictional secret society known as elysian fields which draws heavily on bohemian grove the episode opens with a parody of the cremation of care ceremony complete with a giant talking crow
Statue and the burning of a human effigy elysian fields has a motto too buzzing bees do not sting here it’s a minor miracle the bohemian club didn’t sue considering the guest list you won’t be surprised to learn that security at the grove is taken very seriously the
Redwood enclave is watched over by what can best be described as a small private army kitted out with high-tech gear including thermal cameras night vision goggles and both motion and vibration sensing alarms the us secret service has also been known to lend a hand from time to time when the guest
List demands it i should probably mention that bohemian grove and the bohemian club in general has come in from its fair share of criticism over the years mostly due to what some people see as sexist policies no woman has ever been a full member in the club’s 150 year history and female
Staff aren’t employed at bohemian grove in any capacity unless you believe the rumor that the club’s prepared to relax its gender policies when it comes to prostitutes when the club was first formally charged with discrimination in 1978 they fought back arguing that their members wouldn’t be able to urinate as
Openly and liberally as they wanted to if women were present at bohemian grove the court ruled in their favor that decision was eventually overturned but the bohemian club did the litigatory equivalent of asking to see the judge’s manager by filing an appeal with the california superior court
At the subsequent trial they argued that being male should be considered an occupational qualification and since most women struggle mastering the skill of having a penis they simply aren’t qualified to work at the grove the court once again ruled in the club’s favor the world’s changed
Quite a bit in the last 40 years hasn’t it oh i should probably mention that the california superior court judge who reached this somewhat controversial decision was known to have attended bohemian club events on several occasions but i’m sure that had absolutely nothing to do with this decision whatsoever bohemian grove
Ends every year as it began with an elaborate performance though thankfully no children real or otherwise are burned in this one instead a majestic redwood rimmed arena with seating for up to 2 000 people roughly the same capacity as london’s royal opera house hosts an end of camp
Performance known as the grove play written and performed exclusively by grove club members and supported by a full orchestra and production team it’s reported that grove plays which are only ever performed a single time can cost upwards of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to stage
Oh and since no women are allowed to become members of the club any female characters are played by men in drag the oxford english dictionary defines a bohemian as an artist literary man or actor who leads a free vagabond or a regular life and i don’t know about you
But george bush senior isn’t the first person that springs to mind when i hear the word vagabond i’m not the only one who’s picked up on this little contradiction either when oscar wilde visited the bohemian club in 1882 he was heard commenting that he’d never seen so many well-dressed well-fed
Business-looking bohemians in all his life despite the somewhat optimistic branding there’s no doubt the bohemian club and its two-week urination orgy in california will continue to capture the public’s imagination for as long as it exists there’s just something inherently intriguing about so many important people gathering under such unusual circumstances to do
All these bizarre things we normals have always been interested in how the other half lives although i think it’s safe to say that up until now most of us assumed it was more leader jets and mansions than ritual burnings and drag so is bohemian grove a place where a
Bunch of old white guys in various states of midlife crisis go to recapture their lost college days or the hub of an illuminati-like organization with a punch hunt for burning babies i’ll leave that up to you oh and one last conspiracy theory for you before i go
This is the u.s capitol building seen from above notice anything strange it looks a bit like an owl right some people believe that’s a quiet nod to the bohemian club right in the heart of washington dc and intriguingly enough the current design for the grounds was drawn up in 1874.
Two years after the bohemian club was founded of course back then the club was literally no more than a bunch of journalists with no power whatsoever but hey why let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy thanks for watching good news you can now pre-order my new
