The Colorado Grand: Where Vintage Cars Meet Rocky Mountain Beauty
In my mind’s eye, the Grand existed something like a driver’s equivalent of the Bohemian Grove gathering, set not in the redwood forests of Northern California but in the rugged mountains of Colorado, where billionaires prayed to the gods of speed rather than a giant concrete owl. -

Monte Rio is almost interesting
Bohemian Grove: The elite’s hidden retreat And then there’s Bohemian Grove, just a short drive from Monte Rio. It’s where the world’s wealthiest, most powerful men gather once a year to, well, piss on trees. Seriously. For two weeks every summer, bankers, politicians, and CEOs retreat to the redwoods to take part in secret rituals. What do these oligarchs do at their boy’s club? Dress in robes, light things on fire, worship a giant owl, under-tip the peasants, and yes, occasionally relieve themselves against a 1,000-year-old tree. It sounds like something out of a satire, except it’s not. It’s happening in the woods near Monte Rio, though nobody in town seems to bat an eye. Maybe because, in Monte Rio, things that almost make sense are just part of the scenery. -
"Bill Lutt, scion of Berkeley musical family who revived Cazadero Music Camp, dies at 68
"In many ways Cazadero is a Lutt family legacy. Bob Lutt had recently been hired as Berkeley High’s band director when he and Beth discovered a rundown facility that had served briefly as an early home for the notorious Bohemian Club at the end of the 19th century. In the mid-1950s, the summer camp had long been owned by the city of Berkeley, which had allowed it to fall into disrepair. Maintaining and expanding Cazadero became a family project after Bob invited San Francisco Symphony members up to teach five dozen Berkeley band students that first summer. By 1964, the program had expanded to four 12-day sessions serving 600 9 to 18-year-olds." - Phil Lesh Celebrates New Friends Page and Trey (1999)

The Cult of Moloch
Evidence concerning Moloch worship in ancient Israel is found in the legal, as well as in the historical and prophetic literature of the Bible. In the Pentateuch, the laws of the Holiness Code speak about giving or passing children to Moloch (Lev. 18:21, 20:2–4) and the law in Deuteronomy speaks of "passing [one's] son or daughter through fire" (18:10). Although Moloch is not named in the Deuteronomy passage, it is likely that his cult was the object of the prohibition. -

"The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time — it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine" - Richard M. Nixon - https://www.azquotes.com/quote/633466
NIXON: But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time — it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.
Decorators. They got to do something. But we don't have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they're trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.
EHRLICHMAN: Hot pants.

Bohemian Grove Roster Sent Anonymously to Infowars
Membership List Reveals Former Presidents, Host of Academics and NWO Operators

An interesting package came into the Infowars mailbox recently-- sent anonymously with no return address-- but the contents revealed the reason for secrecy. Someone has shipped our office the 2006 membership roster for the secretive and exclusive Bohemian Grove, which Alex Jones infiltrated and exposed in 2000.
A number of high profile elites appear on the list, including David Rockefeller (and son), Henry Kissinger, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, David Gergen (who Alex Jones confronted about his grove membership), Colin Powell, George P. Shultz, Donald Rumsfeld and even Kenneth Starr, who gained attention after prosecuting Bill Clinton.
See a 1981 news report on the grove.
1981 News Report About Bohemian Grove
Many U.S. Presidents have gone to the grove, but most do not appear on the membership roster, though we know that Reagan, Nixon (both pictured below at the Grove), George W. Bush, Herbert Hoover and many other presidents have also attended but are not listed, as is the case for presidential advisor Karl Rove.
Walter Cronkite, the infamous and notable TV journalist, is also a member and listed in the directory. The 'P' next to his name denotes "Regular - Professional." Also listed is the King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf.

Beyond Presidents and elite world controllers, the exclusive male-only club has obviously used the appeal of the retreat to influence the world of academia-- at least 50 well-known universities are represented at Bohemian Grove, including almost every school in California, at least any that come to mind. The members-- which includes listings of older and deceased members who no longer attend-- are influential faculty members, board members, trustees or presidents of universities.
Stanford University with 17 members and U.C. Berkeley with 19 members, were the most heavily represented schools. (See members from academia below-- note: only those members with schools listed by their name were counted as academia, with many other members listed by city and name or only by name).

I've also included the so-called 'LIST OF FIFTY' a list honoring regular attendees, though few of the names stand out on first pass. 'Honorary Associates' and 'Honorary Regulars' are also distinguished in the 104-page directory with thousands of names.
Notably, in addition to the anonymous shipping of this directory, Alex Jones received a call at his home from the BOHEMIAN GROVE, which was listed on caller-id, but no one identified themselves. It is not clear if this member roster was sent by an employee of the Grove, a member or came to this office through other means.




Roy A. "Bud" Folger, 81, a beloved personality of the San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas and longtime resident of Menlo Park and Palo Alto, died July 18 in Santa Cruz. A man of irrepressible good cheer and generosity, his love of music, humor and people endeared him to countless friends. He grew up in Palo Alto and graduated from the University of Santa Clara in 1941 before joining the Army Air Force and serving as master sergeant in the European campaign. He then went to work at his father's insurance brokerage firm and continued the business for the next 40 years. Until he and his wife Patricia moved to Santa Clara County in 1985, he was an active member of St. Raymond's Catholic Parish in Menlo Park, as well as the Guardsmen, the Olympic, and Bohemian clubs of San Francisco. He served as president of the Bohemian Club from 1971 through 1973. His great talent was in sharing his tremendous warmth, wit, and kindness with all he met. He is survived by six children, Roy Folger, Jr. of Mountain View; Timothy Folger of Watsonville; Laura Folger of San Francisco; Matthew Folger of Huntington Beach; Susan Thomson of Mountain View; and Sarah Folger of Los Angeles; three sisters, Elizabeth Erlin of Palo Alto; Grace Haid of Menlo Park; and Mary Barrett of Palm Springs; and an abundance of grandchildren. A memorial mass has been held. Donations may be sent to Camphill Special School-Beaver Run, 1784 Fairview Road, Glenmoore, Penn. 19343.
