The allegations regarding Jeffrey Epstein just keep getting stranger and stranger. Investigative journalist Vickie Ward says allegations she had in her story about Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulting two underaged girls were cut out by Graydon Carter after Carter had a meeting with Epstein at Vanity Fair. Ward says the allegations were backed up and the witnesses credible.
Why would Vickie Ward say this? Why would Graydon Carter do this? Ironic that Vanity Fair passed on the Epstein story, but that Cernovich helped put the pressure to force the prosecutor to act.
Bohemian Grove does have an Eyes Wide Shutquality to it...just gayer. Or as Richard Nixon (a member of the Grove) called it: “the most faggy goddamn thing you could ever imagine”
Alex Jones is a nut job, but his Bohemian Grove film is pretty amazing. There is a weird elitist obsession with the occult that should give anyone pause. I love Northern California and the Redwoods too (Sonoma County is awesome), but this elite gathering goes beyond simply communing with the trees (and Alex those are Coast Redwoods at Bohemian Grove, not Sequoias).
The ceremonies of the Bohemian Grove are sort of reminiscent of things the Freemasons, Odd Fellows and other 18th and 19th Century Organizations engage in. I am not suggesting Freemasons are evil (I do not believe that). No doubt, most of the attendees at Bohemian Grove are mostly into hanging out with their fellow elites, getting away from their wives, and getting drunk. I seriously doubt most of them are engaging in gay orgies or sneaking into town to engage call girls (they can do that just as easily back in Washington, D.C. or Chappaqua, as the case may be). Still, there is something creepy in the ceremonies of the Bohemian Grove.
I am not buying all of Alex Jones's theories, but I suspect he is right about how an event like this is a way to bond (aka compromising) people. While I am sure not all the attendees are debcuahering, everything is on the down low (fueled with plenty of alcohol) and certainly plenty of hijinks take place.
Sure they claim no business takes place in the Grove, but you can be sure there are connections made in the Grove that continue on for the rest of the year.
Jack London: Should the Bohemian Grove be referred to as "Call of the Wild Side"?
Vanity Fair: Bohemian Tragedy Are the Bohemians logging their old growth stands? While I am not into logging old growth redwoods, I am still I am trying to wrap my head around this:
In 1999, Jock joined the club. The waiting list was 15 years long, and it still is. Twenty thousand “men of talent” are supposedly waiting to join, although some say the club, like y venerable old men’s clubs, is having trouble attracting younger members. He joined Five Easy Pieces. Music and theatricals, including elaborate productions in makeup and drag, are a big part of the festivities. “Sometimes the homoerotic themes can get weird,” one member told me. Great jam sessions at one camp or another last late into the night. Steve Miller is a member. He wears dark suits and looks like a hedge-fund manager until he straps on his guitar. Two former members of the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart and Bob Weir, are members—entertainment providers are fast-tracked. Hart is in the posh Hill Billies camp, with Rumsfeld, longtime Grove father figure Walter Cronkite, Papa Bush, and Christopher Buckley (whose father, William F., was also a Hill Billy, hard as that is to imagine). Weir is in Rattlers. Strange bedfellows, one would think. Weir and Hart played a benefit concert for Barack Obama last year, and the Grove of the Old Trees, a 28-acre redwood stand in Occidental, California, was saved from the ax a few years ago thanks in part to the passionate activism of Mickey’s wife, Caryl, who was re-appointed by Governor Schwarzenegger to the California State Parks Commission.
Mickey Hart is in the same Hill Billy camp that the Bushes, Rumsfeld, and William F. Buckley are in?
Ok, talking about all this occultism and weirdness, there is a certain break down of moral order (across the USA), and the feminist backlash is taking its toll...
Donald Trump and King David? If Donald Trump said he was sorry about what he did (and meant it) I might be more persuaded. Trump is not sorry about it at all. I would take Trump's position over the hypocrisy of Bill or Hillary Clinton any day, but that is hardly a high standard.
I remember people saying Newt Gingrich could never win the Republican nomination based on his philandering. Many were saying the same thing about Donald Trumpnot too long ago. That has obviously changed, and instead (and now the left are getting into it) they are saying he won't win the general. It is not going to be easy with a Republican Party in disarray, but Trump can win (although be careful what you wish for). As Cole Porter predicted: Anything Goes.
Okay, Podhoretz loathes Trump, but I think he is referring to the imagery above. I agree, not the best imagery to be sure, but whether or not Trump wins that photo alone is not going to derail Trump. Why? Donald Trump is not Hitler. And Trump for all his short fingered vulgarian crudeness is media savy enough so attacks like that are not gong to work on him. He turns those attacks to his advantage through media saturation.
For all the hysteria about #NeverTrump, there is something to truly fear. Do we really want a thin skinned narcissist as commander in chief and standard bearer of the GOP? And more importantly for conservatives (who want a conservative standard bearer in the White House), Donald Trump is NOT conservative.
While I think Trump will likely be better than Hillary Clinton, he would probably end up governing like Arnold Schwarzenegger (at best) and probably more like Silvio Berlusconi. We can do better.
Trump has managed to woo many with his hedgehog siren call of curtailing illegal immigration and making America great again. But how you do this matters.
