This year’s Bohemian Grove encampment in Northern California begins tonight, kicked off with an address from the governor himself Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other speeches at the retreat, which lasts for 17 days, will also include addresses from former secretaries of state George Schultz and James Baker, along with media mogul Rupert Murdoch. The secretive resort encampment, which includes neo-Druidic rituals and a controversial mock burnt offering called the Cremation of Care, is open only to the 2000 members of the private Bohemian Club. The list includes some of America’s most powerful politicians, businessmen, and media personalities, who are all sworn to absolute secrecy about the events that transpire there. The mainstream press typically blacks out all mention of the event, and this year is no exception.
