On Saturday, July 12, 1997 Bohemian Grove members burned "Dull Care" in the 118th re-enactment of their Cremation of Care ceremony. But that was not the only strange occurance to come from their 1997 summer encampment.
As usual we obtained their program of events with the help of insider employees (the workers ARE aware) and, as usual, there was a list of Lakeside Talks that belie their claim that "weaving spiders come not here"! So, for your enlightenment we bring you a partial list of speakers at this years gathering of military, industrial and governmental "heavy hitters". If any of you readers recognize the names with (?) please let us know who they are.

Well, there you have it—proof positive that it's not all fun and games, as the Bohemian Club likes to tell journalists.
It's not that these men don't have the right to gather and free-associate. No one is taking issue with that. But I for one would very much like to know what a sitting judge of the United States Supreme Court had to say about Church and State, as well as the Constitution!!!
For serious researchers and journalists, you may arrange to see our copy of the Lakeside Talks for 1997, as well as the newest membership list, by e-mailing me at justice@wco.com. We also have the schedules from past years, as well as older membership lists and other documents.
Much thanks to our helpers inside the Grove who have made this possible.
