or the last 133 years, the world's wealthiest and most powerful elite gather at the Bohemian Grove in the Redwood forest of Monte Rio, CA where they network, discuss policy, party and perform mock sacrificial rituals. Yet, little people know about this secretive meeting of CEOs and political bigwigs because there is virtually no media coverage of the event. So what is really happening at the Bohemian Grove? RT correspondent Abby Martin sets out to find out for herself.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY AND THEY ARE CONTROLLING EVERYTHING YOU DO.
OBVIOUSLY THEY WANT YOU TO SAY THIS. SO YOU ARE JUST PLAYING
RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS!



Dr. Evil and his hairless cat are behind it all of course.

So Do you think the richest and most powerful people in the world sit around roasting marshmallows?

OMG,Will KAOS ever stop conspiring against the Little Man?

Yep, marshmallows in one hand, I pad (with the 17" screen) in the other, laughing their azzes off at peeps like you!!!

OK then.

Only "mock" sacrifices? Lame party.

One can be sure that if a topic is a little outside the mainstream paradigm certain people will swoop in on their broom guarding the threads like a mama bear guards her cubs, making any descent conversation impossible.


MONTE RIO -- The Bohemian Club's Annual Summer Encampment came to a close here Sunday, ending a two-week retreat for the rich and powerful that President Herbert Hoover once called "the greatest men's party on Earth." The club's famed annual gathering has been held for more than 100 years at the 2,700-acre Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, about 70 miles north of San Francisco in Sonoma County. This year's event drew in notables such as former President George Bush, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, retired Gen. Colin Powell, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Dow Chemical Chairman Frank Popoff, as well as actor Danny Glover.

The men gather to celebrate what they call "the spirit of Bohemia," said Peter Phillips, a Sonoma State University sociology professor who wrote his doctoral dissertation on the Bohemian Club.

"This is a place men can go and hang out with people who are similar to them," he said.

The annual gathering near the Russian River, which was first held in 1879, starts with the "Cremation of Care" ritual, in which the club's mascot is burned in effigy, symbolizing a freedom from care. Members also perform several plays, and gourmet food and expensive wine are plentiful.

While the club was formed in 1872 by a group of San Francisco journalists, the male-only club now bars journalists from membership to protect the group's privacy. Membership is coveted, and people routinely wait 10 or 15 years before gaining admittance. There are currently about 2,700 members.

The club has drawn criticism for years because of its emphasis on privacy. What particularly concerns Phillips and others are the "Lakeside Talks" held during the summer retreat. This year, Powell was expected to deliver a talk titled "America's Promise Leading Armies and Leading Kids," and Popoff, of Dow Chemical, was to give a speech called "Environmental Journey."

"These are often public policy speeches," said Mary Moore, with Bohemian Grove Action Network, a protest group. "And the American public is not privy to it."

You mean like this......^^^^^

I find it interesting that if say the worlds best football players all joined in a campground to discuss their wages and the sport the mainstream media would be all over it.

If the worlds richest and most powerful gather its not even mentioned in the corporate owned media. In fact its so unmentioned you think its some wacko conspiracy theory.


If you do not posses the ability to make a comment that is worthy of discussion maybe this isn't the topic for you.

For once I agree with you......

And if you only want people that agree with you posting in your threads, then maybe this isn't the forum for you.

I have no trouble with anyone who carefully ANALYZE a topic and make an INFORMED comment.

Some folks be it due to advanced years or a simple lack of critical thinking skills just drag things through the mud without making any comment that is meaningful to the topic at hand.

If that is the goal then "Mission Accomplished"

Personally I find this topic interesting because it is an affirmation of how I feel about the corporate owned media and its lack of coverage of this annual event.

Always starting trouble, huh?

Bohemian Grove is just weird all around.

I'm flattered that you always single me out...Hitting the bullseye feels good....

I know its all male, the richest and most powerful men in the world.....I really wonder what they talk about.

And THAT my friend, is probably the most accurate political statement on Mingle, today!
