The Mysterious Bohemian Grove

I don't know if any of you are familiar with Alex Jones, the famous conspiracy theorist, but he has some interesting (true? who knows...) things to say about the Bohemian Grove and the all-male occult practices that go on there. The Bohemian Grove is a campground in Monte Rio, CA and it belongs to a private men's club out of San Francisco called the Bohemian Club. Every year this club hosts a three week camp out and important men from all over the globe attend.

Some quick background, the Bohemian Grove was established shortly after the club's inception in 1872, so it's obviously been around a while. Though the powerful men who attend are urged to leave outside issues "at the door," the Grove is famous for deals that were done during the camp out--even the Manhattan Project was planned in September of 1942. The wait list for the club is 15-20 years with fees of over $25,000. They say that all that takes place inside the grove is entertainment, such as plays where the women are played by men in drag, but for all it's high class secrecy many believe that occult rituals take place. In this picture above you can see Regan and Nixon in the Grove, so to say men such as our country's leader are playing with the occult, well, that's mighty interesting in my opinion. There are reports of men in black and red robes sacrificing something to a huge owl statue, or something like that.

Alex Jones brings these theories to a new level. He infiltrated the grove during a camp out in July 2000 and filmed what he saw. This Article, while maybe not a credible source, has some really interesting things to say about what he found. He confirms that there is a stone owl statue and the ritual takes place praising the owl god Moloch. Jones says he saw a body wrapped up tightly, which begged for mercy and was burned. Apparently Jones caught all of this on video tape and a series on the Bohemian Grove aired in the UK. I haven't seen any of it but I'd be really interested to know if any of this is true or if George Bush is hanging out there sacrificing people.
