I think I'd rather not occupy that place.

But I think it might be funny if somebody got a few pictures of their "secret ceremonies". Especially if the participants could be identified.

2. Here's the infamous Spy Magazine issue on Bohemian Grove. . .

back in 1989. Someone FINALLY made it available for all of us.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/51479106/Spy-Magazine-November-1989


Please be patient with the downloading/uploading. It's the entire magazine here.
But it's well worth the wait, especially with a map of the camp and that outrageous cover of Henry Kissinger and Merv Grffin to start.


"GENTLEMEN, PLEASE! NO PEE-PEE HERE!"

no one has successfully crashed this party yet (with a good camera). Someone should offer a prize for the one who pulls it off.

9. There are hundreds of years worth of "good camera" images

showing some "activities" in which corporate men and politicians do some un-Christian stuff, to say the least.

Hmmm, if these are supposed to be good Christian conservatives, they have a "strange" way of expressing it:

Nixon's thoughts on the homosexual activities:



My favorite related video is when David Gergen gets asked about his involvement with the club, and he loses his cool. Why are you losing your cool, Gergen? Why does this place's activities need to be so secret, if we are truly a "free and OPEN" society?

YouTube it.

11. Go to YouTube and watch Gergen freak out when he is asked about his involvement.

There is just as much reason to Occupy Bohemian Grove as there is Wall Street.

probably has nads as big as grapefruit. I can't think of any good reason for good reason for attempting to hold a baton. your are going to get beat when you do that. it is best to let the Blue Meany hit once and protect your head and fall down if necessary.

On the other hand Hookers are heading north to the Russian River from San Francisco for a few days.

7. I had no idea that these wealthy guys had been doing this for over 100 years...

"2,000-3,000 rich and wealthy men have gathered every summer for 133 years in a private 2,800 acre ancient redwood retreat to celebrate themselves with parties, entertainment, and speakers. The men, Bohemian Club members and their guests, will hold a cremation of care ceremony July 14, where they symbolically burn the cares of the world before a giant owl in a bizarre annual ritual."


If my math is correct, President Hays would of been in office at this time...

"Hayes confronted two issues regarding the currency. The first was the coinage of silver, and its relation to gold. In 1873, the Coinage Act of 1873 stopped the coinage of silver for all coins worth a dollar or more, effectively tying the dollar to the value of gold. As a result, the money supply contracted and the effects of the Panic of 1873 grew worse, making it more expensive for debtors to pay debts they had contracted when currency was less valuable.[155] Farmers and laborers, especially, clamored for the return of coinage in both metals, believing the increased money supply would restore wages and property values.[156] Democratic Representative Richard P. Bland of Missouri proposed a bill that would require the United States to coin as much silver as miners could sell the government, thus increasing the money supply and aiding debtors.[157] William B. Allison, a Republican from Iowa offered an amendment in the Senate limiting the coinage to two to four million dollars per month, and the resulting Bland–Allison Act passed both houses of Congress in 1878.[157] Hayes feared that the Act would cause inflation that would be ruinous to business, effectively impairing contracts that were based on the gold dollar, as the silver dollar proposed in the bill would have an intrinsic value of 90 to 92 percent of the existing gold dollar.[158] Further, Hayes believed that inflating the currency was an act of dishonesty, saying "[e]xpediency and justice both demand an honest currency."[158] He vetoed the bill, but Congress overrode his veto, the only time it did so during his presidency.[157]
The second issue concerned United States Notes (commonly called greenbacks), a form of fiat currency first issued during the Civil War. The government accepted these notes as valid for payment of taxes and tariffs, but unlike ordinary dollars, they were not redeemable in gold.[157] The Specie Payment Resumption Act of 1875 required the treasury to redeem any outstanding greenbacks in gold, thus retiring them from circulation and restoring a single, gold-backed currency.[157] Sherman agreed with Hayes's favorable opinion of the Act, and stockpiled gold in preparation for the exchange of greenbacks for gold.[158] Once the public was confident that they could redeem greenbacks for specie (gold), however, few did so; when the Act took effect in 1879, only $130,000 out of the $346,000,000 outstanding dollars in greenbacks were actually redeemed.[159] Together with the Bland–Allison Act, the successful specie resumption effected a workable compromise between inflationists and hard money men and, as the world economy began to improve, agitation for more greenbacks and silver coinage quieted down for the rest of Hayes's term in office.[160]"
