It's all a matter of the intention that you have about what the ritual means. And I don't mean to suggest by that that there's anything necessarily sinister about what's going on. But it is clearly a ritual carried out for some kind of group reinforcing purpose. And you're absolutely right. You don't have to do it that way.

I've gone to summer camps and we never carried out mock sacrifices in front of an owl. We did all those other things. We didn't even have any robes either. So it goes beyond merely a rich guy's summer camp, although that's an aspect of it. But it also, I think, often obscures it. Focusing on Bohemian Grove at the getaway of the club ignores that the club is around all the time.

That's what's at the center of this. It is the club and its members. So despite all the talk about no weaving spiders coming around here, one of the other features of the summer meeting are things called lakeside talks. And this often people are invited to go there. And one of the people who was invited, I think around 1968 was Richard Nixon, who was making his political comeback.

And he was invited to give a talk where very important people are listening. And Nixon in his memoirs realized what was going on. He was being auditioned as to whether or not he was going to be right. He recognized that that was really the beginning of his second presidential campaign. He was being vetted.

So one of the main theories, call it a conspiracy theory or not, about the bohemian club and the gatherings is that people of wealth and influence gather together and And whether or not it's part of the agenda or not, inevitably, you're going to talk about things of interest.

But to me, the mere fact that you invite people in, political leaders, to give lakeside talks means that there are weaving spiders which are going on. And it is a perfect private venue to vet people for political office.

Well, see, here's the question. Are these guys actually picking who's going to be president? Is that the decision which is being made or are they just deciding what horses they're going to back? Right. I think the latter is the simpler version of it, but it doesn't mean it's the other way around. But these are the kinds of, you know, I mean, Nixon was, you know, there was the whole 1960 thing.
