"Cremation of Care" ritual at Bohemian Grove, page 2

im sorry, the stinch of world leaders running naked around the woods, performing pagan rituals and dividing the world so it suits THEM does not go well with my idea of leadership.

Sounds like a bunch of guys goofing off to me. Hi jinks, that is to say.

I am not even a christian, if i were, and i was living in USA i would go completely berserk knowing that this is the kind of thing really goes on behind the curtains!

People don't care, because its just silliness. Alot of people in the US are used to the antics of Greek Fraternities and aren't going to get too concerned about it.

Also, who was at that owl ceremony? I mean, lots of people are associated with the group, fine. But was bush at the ceremony? I don't think that all people who've ever been associated with it go to everything all the time.
Hell, I bet bush did worse just as a regular college student, let along an SNBer, let alone as a BCer.
I recall one frat, for example, that used to have its pledges/initiates carry around a ziplock bag, to classes and to pass off to other initiates, of the senior members poo. Stupid? Heck yeah, and disgusting too. But what can ya say, when guys get together, they get stupid.

I am not sure if you will manage to convince anyone that they do this with good intentions. Have you watched the ritual ?

I've seen a bit of it. That ritual seems to be rather 'solem' tho, yes. THe pictures above however seem to confirm the goofiness of the whole thing tho. Its a mens club, apparently. Guys get silly when they're on their own. Look at college frats.

How exactly will you convince me its not evil

Why would I want to do that? I am not concerned with convincing other people. I am concerned with testing my ideas and seeing if they stand up to others criticism and evidences.

..it friggin looks like a satanic black mass!

So? What of its looks?

How will you convince me these are not mentally disturbed individuals that need professional help? Listen to what theyre saying!
Look at the games theyre playing! Mock children sacriifice, hiding under robes? This is what...A PRANK?

I don't think that the mock funerals and executions can be said to be 'pranks' or hijinx no. I do think that one can participate in those sorts of things and not be a murderer. Life is serious to some, and solemn serious events like these are often needed for individuals to internalize and incorporate that seriousness.

How can you compare budhism to cremation of care

They have buddhist statues there along with their owl statue. Apparently their group maintains an interest in comparative religion and mythology.

Will you try to convince us that cremating your care for nature and others is actually a good thing?

Demonstrate that they are performing the ritual in order to do things that are immoral and hurtful. How many books are out there now about not taking life so seriously and 'not sweating the small stuff'? Creamation of Care means not sweating the small stuff, in one interpretation.

HIGH JINX? Are you mental?

No, are you suffering from mental hysteria or on psychiatric medications?

Nice pics btw, dont forget to post the original flyer for the event, the picture of Reagan and others in the grove

I don't know about that. If you have it, post it.

he doesnt like to run around naked in the woods like the rest of them.

I don't see why it should be that much of a concern. Sounds like typical sorts of stuff on an extended 'guys night out'. Pranks, play-fighting, skits, etc etc. True, the owl ritual and the buddhist ritual and other stuff shows that they take it a bit more seriously and that they have some organization. But, really, I don't see anything going on there that's different from a college frat. Its like a cracked out version of 'Old School'

nerdling
I am perplexed by one thing alone, why has Alex Jones --or anyone else-- never returned?

It looks like its not 'easy' to get access, however thats a good question. I mean, that buddha statue probably isn't there anymore, is the owl? Is it even a statue, or is it a prop? We can see from the photos that at these outings lots of stuff goes on and that it quite possibly changes year to year.

Sheesh man, give it a rest.. Big owl, mock sacrafices, skulls, evil napkins it's all there dude.. You're obviously defending your kind. Question is, would you even accept the factual evidence if it was presented you? I doubt it, you would just continue your disinformation objective...

Evil Napkins? You bet! Nothing like rounding out an "Illuminati Icebreaker" with the appropriate party details... I've been using these for years:



Though lately I've been strangely compelled to start using these:



I'm not sure why, just a "feeling."

For those interested in a bev nap o'humor:

"Evil Napkins" and more...

Party Planner Monkeys, not just for Bohemian Grove shing-dings anymore…

HAHAHA! Classic!

There are some folks here who need these:





Dude, I have looked into Alex Jones' work, and I gotta say, some of it is quite compelling; some of it is far left field. You have to be careful with guys like Alex. He's got alot to say, and he's got the dough to back it up and keep himself on the air and getting his "message" out, but he puts his own spin on stuff. He uses the dsame tactics he accuses the Illuminati and NWO of using, whether you admit it or not. I have seen it first hand. The stuff he got at BG? Not very conclusive. He has a habit of being a bit of a sensationalist. I have seen his "911: Road to Tyranny" and I gotta tell you, I wasn't all that impressed. Alot of repitition and mood music. It's comparable to "Farenheit 911" though I don't think Alex's venture was quite a laughable as good ol' Micheal's.

Bottom line is, we don't know what goes on there and people that aren't members probably won't. Ever.

P.S. Bangin, this is backwards from the song -> "No Forgiveness (haha), No Salvation (haha)"

Heheh bet you didn't think one of "us" would recognize that, eh?

Personally, I thought "Portrait of an American Family" was by far their best album.

i will in no way try to prove anything to anyone here, as i said, plenty of evidence floating around for everybody to see. And dont talk crap about my religious beleifs as i am not religious per se, never once been to a church.
But my eyes are wide open, and i can still separate good from evil when i see it.

If you can relate to this kind of rituals and call it pranks and jinxes , thats fine with me, but i dont think this kind of behaviour is to be expected from people in high places in this society. If you dont mind your leaders erasing their conciousness FINE....they will pay their dues anyway, care on not care.

Democracy? I DONT THINK SO!

WHAT IS WRONG ABOUT THE GROVE:

"What's not right about this? When powerful people work together, they become even more powerful. The Grove membership is wealthy, and becoming more so, while the middle class is steadily becoming poorer. This close-knit group determines whether prices rise or fall (by their control of the banking system, money supply, and markets), and they make money whichever way markets fluctuate. They determine what our rights are and which laws have effect, by appointing judges. They decide who our highest officials shall be by consensus among themselves, and then selling candidates to us via the media which they own. Important issues and facts are omitted from discussion in the press, or slanted to suit their goals, but they are discussed frankly at the Grove. Is there true democracy when so much power is concentrated in so few hands? Is there any real difference between the public and private sectors when cabinet members come from the boardrooms of large corporations? Is the spending of billions on weapons, which are by consensus no longer needed, really the will of the people? Or is it the will of General Electric, General Dynamics, and the other weapons contractors represented at the Grove? "

MORE FACTS:

The San Francisco Bohemian Club is unique among private men's clubs in that it holds an annual 16-day summer encampment where the 2,400 members are free to invite several hundred distinguished business associates and guests from around the world. Long days of glad-handing, off-the-record political discussions, government policy reviews, and the building of business friendships serve to facilitate consensus and ease of interaction among some of the top governmental and business leaders in the world. The collective corporate stock ownership by members and guests conservatively exceeds $100 billion.

On June 4, 1994 a presentation at the Grove from a University of California Berkeley professor stressed that, elites are important and must set the values for society that are translated into "standards of authority," and that elites cannot allow the "unqualified masses" to carry out policy. The speech was given an enthusiastic standing ovation by the over 1,000 men present and seemed to represent the feelings of many club members.

The Bohemian Club's summer encampment is the institutionalized embodiment of elite class privilege, a de facto celebration of race and gender exclusiveness, and a slap in the face to democratic process in the United States. Institutions of elite privilege like the San Francisco Bohemian Club run counter to the core American values of equality, due process and political openness. Americans deserve a public apology from the Bohemian

TRANSCRIPT OF THE RITUAL FOR THOSE THAT CANT HEAR IT:

The Owl is in His leafy temple
Let all within the grove be reverent before Him.
Lift up your heads oh ye trees
And be lifted up ye everlasting spires
For behold here is bohemia's shrine
And holy are the pillars of this house.

Weaving spiders come not here!

Hail, Bohemians!
With the ripple of waters
The song of birds
Such music as inspires the sinking soul
Do we invite you into Midsummer's joy.
The sky above is blue and sown with stars
The forest floor is heaped with fragrant grit
The evening's cool kiss is yours
The campfire's glow
The birth of rosy fingered dawn.
For behold, here is Bohemia's shrine
And holy are the pillars of his house
Shake off your sorrows with the city's dust
And cast to the winds the cares of life.
But memories bring back the well-loved names of gallant friends
Who knew and loved this grove
Dear boom companions of a long ago
Aye, let them join us in this ritual!
And not a piece be empty in our midst.
All of these battles to hold
In this gray autumn of the world
Or in the springtime of your heart.

Attend our tale
Gather ye forest folks!
And cast your spells over these mortals
Touch their world-blind eyes with carry-on
Open their eyes to fancy
Follow the memories of yesterday
And seal the gates of sorrow.

It is a dream
And yet, not all a dream
Dull Care in all of his works
Harbored it
As vanished Babylon and goodly Tyre
So shall they also vanish
But the wilding rose blows on the broken battlements of Tyre
And moss rends the stones of Babylon
For beauty is eternal
And we bow to beauty everlasting
For lasting happiness we turn our eyes to one alone,
And she surrounds you now.
Great nature, refuge of the weary heart,
And only balm to breasts that have been bruised.
She hath cool hands for every fevered brow
And gentlest silence for the troubled soul.
Her councils are most wise
She healeth well
Having such ministries as calm and sleep
She is ever faithful
Other friends may fail
But seek ye her in any quiet place
Smiling, she will rise and give to you her kiss
So must ye come as children
Little children that believe do not ever doubt her beauty or her faith
Nor deem her tenderness can change or die
Bohemians and priests!
The desperate call of heavy hearts is answered.
By the power of your fellowship, Dull Care is slain
His body has been brought yonder to our funeral pyre
To the joyous singings of a funeral march;
Our funeral pyre awaits the corpse of Care
O thou, thus ferried across the shadowy tide
In all the ancient majesty of death
Dull Care, ardent enemy of beauty
Not for thee the forgiveness or the restful grave
Fire shall have its will of thee
And all the winds make merry with thy dust
Bring fire!

Fools!
Fools!
Fools!
When will ye learn
That me ye cannot slay?
Year after year ye burn me in this grove
Lifting your puny shouts of triumph to the stars.
When again you turn your faces to the marketplace
Do you not find me waiting as of old?
Fools!
Fools!
Fools to dream you conquer care.

Say Thou mocking spirit!
It is not all a dream
We know thou waiting for us
When this out sylvan holiday has ended
We shall meet thee and fight thee as of old
And some of us prevail against thee
And some thou shall destroy
But this too we know
Year after year within this happy grove
Our fellowship bans thee for a space
Thine malevolence which would pursue us here
Has lost its power under these friendly trees.
So shall we burn thee once again this night
And, with the flames that eat thine effigy
We shall read the sign
Midsummer sets us free!

Ye shall burn me once again!
Not with these flames!
Which hither ye have brought
From regions where I reign
Ye fools and priests
I spit upon your fire!

O Owl! Prince of all mortal wisdom
Owl of Bohemia, we beseech thee
Grant us thy council

No fire…
No fire…
No fire…
Let it be in the world
Where care is nourished
On the hates of men
And drive Him from this grove.
One flame alone must light this fire
One flame alone must light this fire
A pure eternal flame
At last, within the lamp of Fellowship
Upon the altar of Bohemia.

O Great Owl of Bohemia!
We thank thee for thy adjuration.
Begone detested care!
Begone!
Once more, we banish thee!
Begone Dull Care!
Fire should have its will of thee!
Begone Dull Care!
And all the winds make merry with thy dust
Hail, fellowship's eternal flame!
Once again Midsummer sets us free!
