Kiki AstorHOST

Now on to a place that has launched a thousand conspiracy theories.
Kiki AstorHOST
55:03
In 1872, a group of San Francisco journalists and artists founded the Bohemian Club.
Kiki AstorHOST

Kiki AstorHOST
55:18
It's men only, and every July they gather for about two weeks at Bohemian Grove, a private redwood forest near Monte Rio in Sonoma County.

The Demonian Face About 1918 I was in ill health, and during a short visit to San Francisco was sitting one day in the Bohemian Club, to which I had been given a guest's card of admission.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
84:43
Happening to look up, I saw a frightful, demonian face, with twisted, root-like eyebrows and oblique, fiery-slitted eyes, which seemed to emerge momentarily from air about nine feet above me and lean toward my seat.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
85:01
The thing disappeared as it approached me, but left an ineffaceable impression of malignity, horror, and loathsomeness.
Ken HudnallHOST
34:42
They love being able to unwind in each other's company.
Ken HudnallHOST
34:46
And this is where things like San Francisco Bohemian Club come into play.
Ken HudnallHOST
34:52
The Bohemian Club was formed in 1872.
Ken HudnallHOST
34:55
It's infamous for an annual gathering in halls in the midst of 2,700 privately held acres of wilderness in Northern California known as Bohemian Grove.
Ken HudnallHOST
35:06
Every summer, the club gets notable individuals from the world of politics and business and academia and entertainment together for what would generally be described as a summer camp.
Ken HudnallHOST
36:06
People drank and urinated freely, caught up on old friends, told stories, sang songs, acted in plays.
Ken HudnallHOST
36:14
While it's officially meant as an escape from the ground of day-to-day life, Weiss heard members feeling each other out about future opportunities to collaborate, things he'd possibly follow up on in the future.
Ken HudnallHOST
36:28
So to call the Bohemian Club a secret society may not be entirely correct, as so many of its historical attendees have been well-known people.
Jason BermasGUEST
10:49
So they all buy into the Johnny Don sense.
Jason BermasGUEST
10:51
And I go, "Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna catch that one." I go, "Did they, did they show you how it came out of the Bohemian Club?" And they go, "What? The Bohemian Club?" And I'm like, "Yeah, the Bohemian Club, out of the Bohemian Grove in California." I go, "They have a club in San Francisco, and it was the S71 group that took Oppenheimer and other people in there, and that's how this started." And so right away, her eyebrow goes up, and she's like, "I-- No." And then she looks it up, and she's like, "Oh, yeah, I guess they did do that." [laughs]
Greg CarlwoodHOST
11:25
Hmm.
Greg CarlwoodHOST

Jason BermasGUEST
42:59
But he also has a ton of, like, different types of gargoyle-type statues, and I, uh, I got to do something really cool probably in that same era where...
Jason BermasGUEST
43:11
I think it was on that same trip that I was telling you about before where I had been outside of the Bohemian Club, 'cause we were-- It was actually me and Rob Dew and another person named Jason that worked for Infowars briefly, and we took this week-long trip, and we decided to go to the Hearst Castle 'cause we had a couple days.
Jason BermasGUEST
43:29
And William Randolph Hearst, you know, is credited with modern-day propaganda, AKA yellow journalism, right? He's the guy, "Give me the pictures, and I'll give you the story." In fact, Citizen Kane, which is, you know, one of the movies that it, it's on the number one list of greatest movies of all time, the Orson Welles picture, that was actually modeled after William Randolph Hearst, and it kind of blackballed Orson Welles from the Hollyweirdos i-in a lot of senses because of the way he portrayed him in that light.
StevenHOST
5:30
I want to tell you what they've been a part of.
StevenHOST
5:33
Uh, and, you know, they're, they're still kind of, uh, not both of them, but John S. Harrington's still a member of, um, and that is the Bohemian Club, right? The Bohemian Club.
StevenHOST
5:47
We've heard of this, right? New Ager, CNP, Alex Jones, dropped the mu- uh, you know, dropped that information in the early '90s, supposedly snuck in.
StevenHOST
5:56
Maybe he was invited.

StevenHOST
33:56
All right, so these people are dabbling into the cult, uh, occult.
StevenHOST
34:01
Um, you know, there's a direct connection with John S. Harrington and the Bohemian Grove and its ritual network, okay? [laughs] Uh, if anyone has forgotten what Bohemian Grove is, uh, let me just, uh, pull that up for everybody.
StevenHOST
34:25
Not the Brohemian Grove, the Bohemian Grove, all right? [laughs] Um, but the Bohemian Grove is a private 2,700-acre redwood campground in Monte Rio, California, owned and operated by the San Francisco-based Bohemian Club, an executive all-male private club founded in 1872.
StevenHOST
34:55
Uh, the annual gathering each July, more than 2,000 members and in- uh, and invited guests, including corporate CEOs, politicians, and media figures, attend a secretive two-and-a-half-week summer encampment.

But having said that, the actual Order of the Illuminati of Adam Weishaupt was already dismantled 10 years after they, they, they came, uh, into existence in 1776 because that name was drawing way too much attention.
Leo ZagamiGUEST
86:35
So then they kind of moved out of that name, and one of their most visible representations in this country can be, for example, the Bohemian Club or the Skull and Bones, or many other similar organizations and secret societies, which are not specifically called the Illuminati, but reflect...
Leo ZagamiGUEST
86:58
And then we have also, of course, in occult masonry, the Illuminati, and that is also the ones who are more in control of the occult side, the o- esoteric side.
Leo ZagamiGUEST
87:11
But having said that, Weishaupt, Adam Weishaupt, what he brought into-- this new thing he brought around when he created this order was specifically to create a secret society that was political in nature, where esoteric or the occult was actually something that was left on the margins.
