From Mike Bloomberg to the former CEO of Google, the secret list of the most powerful figures who gather in the California woods for mysterious rituals is revealed. The fact that this 124-year-old club has attracted extremely powerful figures including presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan has fueled suspicions and speculation for years about global decisions that may be made behind the scenes…
In a dramatic turn of events that has shocked the most exclusive circles of the United States, a list of over 2,000 members of the "Bohemian Grove", which is the legendary and ultra-secret men's club located in Sonoma County, California, has recently been published.
With the status of a private enclave of approximately 1,052 hectares amidst forests of giant sequoias, it is famous for its biweekly summer meetings and surrounded by an aura of mystery, which has remained impenetrable for decades.
The list published by freelance journalist Daniel Boguslaw on the Substack platform Deeper States includes high-profile names from the worlds of politics, finance, technology, media and entertainment.
Among those mentioned in initial media reports are former mayors, Silicon Valley billionaires, major political donors, Supreme Court justices, television hosts and celebrities who make up the cream of the American elite.
Founded in 1872, the Bohemian Grove club is a gated resort for the American male elite with a central clubhouse in San Francisco, and a vast forested estate in Monte Rio, located about two hours north of the city.
The club's motto, "Spiders that weave do not come here," taken from William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," symbolizes the members' obligation to set aside business interests and focus on art, theater, and music throughout their stay there.
Every July, members gather for two weeks, participating in theatrical ceremonies such as the “Burning of Worry,” which is a symbolic ritual that involves burning a doll in front of a giant owl-shaped statue, symbolizing the melting away of the stress and worries of everyday life.
The club is divided into so-called camps, similar to student fraternities. They have suggestive names like Mandalay Hill Billies or Cave Man, and have historically attracted extremely powerful figures including presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
This has fueled years of suspicion and speculation about the global decisions that may be made behind the scenes. The well-known American magazine “Mother Jones” once described this club as a place where men who gather in silence make decisions that affect us all. Because it is hard to believe that such powerful people can stay together for two weeks without discussing politics or major transactions over their cocktails. The leaked document reveals a clear map of power where politicians stand out among Paul Pelosi, Edwin Meese III, Bobby Inman, Carlos Bea, James A. Baker III and Edwin Feulner.
From the business world, Charles Koch, Riley Bechtel, the Fisher brothers William Draper and Mike Bloomberg are on the list. Also in the technology field, Eric Schmidt, Brook H. Byers, Tim Draper and David Gifford Arscott appear.
Regular visitors from the world of art and law include Conan O'Brien, the late Jimmy Buffett, Ken Burns, American actor of Albanian origin Jim Belushi, and Judge Clarence Thomas.
According to an inside source for the New York Post, the club's rules are very strict. Cell phones and computers are strictly prohibited, and anyone who tries to bring them in is immediately suspended. Similarly, no nudity of any kind is allowed on the club premises.
So far, neither the club's press office nor the members of the club have issued any official statement. And although the list of names has now been made public, the secret of what is really being discussed under the shadow of the sequoias remains as impenetrable as before./ Pamphlet from "Inside Over"
