NEW: Recent list of Bohemian Grove members allegedly leaked. Includes Conan O’Brien, Michael Bloomberg, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Paul Pelosi, Jimmy Buffett, Charles Koch, Henry Kissinger, Clint Eastwood and Justice Clarence Thomas are among the extensive list of over 2,000 members. Journalist Daniel Boguslaw received the leak and says he vetted it as best he could.
What is Bohemian Grove?
It’s an ultra-private men’s club based in San Francisco, founded in 1872 by artists and journalists. They bought a 2,700-acre redwood property in Sonoma County for their annual two-week summer encampment. Think extreme networking politicians, CEOs, and celebrities who meet, collaborate, perform rituals etc.
Kissinger and Eastwood were already known to have ties before this leak.
Is the leaked list legit? Club representatives are stonewalling, stating they don’t keep or disclose member records to protect privacy. Boguslaw says he pressed a Bay Area insider for weeks, cross-checked the info, and published it via the San Francisco Standard. No full independent verification exists yet it’s still alleged. Past leaks have named similar people, but this one is fresh and massive.
Why it matters at this moment: The world is breaking the illusion about how power works. While there has always been speculation about what goes on at Bohemian Grove, new understandings about power and ritual bring a renewed interest to the topic. What happens behind closed doors? How are global decisions really made? Is the public truly in control of the direction of their society? This is all what people are considering at the moment - and for good reason.
