Power, Corruption and Lies
Daurade (LOS) - March 12, 2011
I had an opportunity to watch The Order of Death (Alex Jones’ documentary on the Bohemian Grove) the other night. It’s a deft piece of propaganda and like all propaganda, it’s filled with an unfortunate bevy of distortions and half-truths, if not outright lies.
Bohemian Grove is a campground in northern California owned by the Bohemian Club, a men’s social club founded in San Francisco in 1872. Initially membership included journalists and artists, but it soon accepted businessman into its ranks. Today the club holds an annual gathering at the Grove which includes a largely GOP crowd, but includes a smattering of liberals, too. This is not some conspiracy theorist’s wild imaginings. Guests have included the likes of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Kissinger, George Shultz, Helmut Kohl, Colin Powell. The list goes on. Not only such well-known figures but a long list of power players in industries from petrochemical and media to defense. Celebrities are involved. Harry Shearer and Steve Miller, of all people, are members. So are Mickey Hart and Bob Weir, formerly of the Grateful Dead.
But what do they do? Given the highly secretive nature of the proceedings, a lot of what goes down is fairly well-known.

Hi Terry, thanks for the link, once again. I’ve been commentng over at LoS, unfortunately losing the latest to a Blogger error. I’m going to try and dig into the history of the “dull care” theme in songs and the like, but I’m not sure how far I can get. The mention that the traditional English song has its roots in Franch chanson is something I may be able to dig into over here, but I’m not even sure what the French equivalent would be, so a keyword search might prove difficult. I’ll see what I can turn up.
