Alex Jones secretly taped the rituals at Bohemian Grove some years years ago. You can see it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpKdSvwYsrE

They pay homage to a 40 ft owl and do a mock cremation of care. They want to rid themselves of care, so they can be free.

There are rumours of homosexual activities in conjunction with these weird rituals.

Bob Carr attended with Henry Kissenger a couple of years ago.

Q: If some men should meet in goodwill in a forest and break bread together would they be doing wrong?

Feminist: Always. Men meeting together without wonderful women to control and direct them is bad.

Ye Gods this is petty. Give them a break.

Hmmm Bad, Bad, boys Bob and Kim.

The assertion that this California festival consists of nudist old pot smoking Hippies with their fingers on all of their pulses is totally without foundation, though accurate.

Careful there love, your penis envy is becoming all too obvious.

Having that idiot Carr there was probably good value. While thus engaged, he was not around to stuff up things more important, his usual activity.

Beazley is a pretty good sensible bloke, the one we should have had, if we were going to have a labor PM. I hope he had a good time.

The other secret society that the Bush's John Kerry and many other US leaders are members of is called "Skull and Bones" Many say it is occult devil worship but George Bush when interviewed admitted membership and would not divulge their activities.

Wasn't it JKF who warned us about the evils of secret societies ? Remember many of these people have their fingers on the nuke buttons and are currently threatening Russia, China, Syria, Iran North Korea,Venezuela or any country who does not bow down to their "New World Order."

Arjay, "Wasn't it JKF who warned us about the evils of secret societies ?"

Maybe real ones like the feminist Left's Emily's List.

Judging by the kneejerk right-wing boys club comments so far, it's perfectly OK for the taxpayer to fork out copious taxpayer dollars to fund Kim and Bob's excellent adventures in the woods.

And, if the taxpayer has to fork out millions every year for our hyper-salaried, hyper-superannuated politicians to jet-set around the globe chasing an endless annual cycle of rich men's talkfests and photo-ops, that's fine too.

Just as long as we maintain our eternal vigilance against the ever-present threat of having our precious taxpayer dollars frittered away on frivolous stuff like welfare, aged pensions, social infrastructure, public health and public education.

The whole event sounds excruciating. Glad I've never had to suffer anything like that.
