The Bohemian Grove also serves as a place for these buttoned-up generals turned defense executives to let loose. While the rule of not talking business is widely ignored, another unwritten rule is that “everyone drink — and that everyone drink all the time.” Longtime member and musician Peter Arnott wrote that every camp in the Grove is “competing to pour drinks down your throat” in a summer 2009 edition of the club magazine. RS reached out to many of the national security officials who are members of the Bohemian Grove, but none responded to a request for comment. Aside from the “revolvers” between government and national security, the Bohemian Grove offers summer solace to plenty of defense contractor executives and financiers. Military tech investor Eric Schmidt, former Lockheed Martin CEO Norman Augustine, co-chairman of the defense-focused private equity firm Carlyle Group David Rubenstein, and several members of the Bechtel family all participated at the 2023 camp. Tex Schenkkan, the former director of National Security Innovation Capital, also made it to the 2023 celebration after years overseeing a DOD office that funds dual use defense/consumer startups. In 1967 President Nixon gave a lakeside talk at the Bohemian Grove that he would later claim was instrumental to launching his bid for the presidency. Before the assembled club members comprised of moneyed elite and aristocratic four-stars, Nixon made clear that it was they, and not the American public, who were the rightful masters of America’s destiny: “Never has a nation had more advantages to lead. Our economic superiority is enormous; our military superiority can be whatever we choose to make it. Most important, it happens that we are on the right side—the side of freedom and peace and progress against the forces of totalitarianism, reaction and war.”

All bonkers stuff.

I think it important we consciously focus more on how we remove power from these folks than speculate on the weird stuff at the meetings and stuff.

Like Epstein fudgers, yeah we could spend forever trying to find out what specific rapes happened so we can present an iron-clad case… Or focus on how to remove thems grip on the nations steering wheel and let a few hundred lawyers trawl the heineous in the files while we do the much larger and important job of unseating them instead of relying on slow-ass courts who half the time decide to allow our constitution violated while they ponder the intracasies of the arguments to be presented to the lawyers in 2 months time, then allowing 2 more weeks for the plantifs to form a rebuttle and file any motions they can cook up with their $millions legal war-chest, of course

Then, as the case work against them never stopped, they get sent to jail because their pardon-powers presidential immunity man who’s puppeting the DOJ and FBI and half the courts is no longer president… Like before they die and get away with it… God damn trynna-run-out-the-clock-against-justice bastards

Ah heck… Lookuh me… rambling again…

Anyway, anyone have any ideas?
