Bohemian Grove Underway, July 18th!

“The Bohemian club! Did you say Bohemian club? That’s where all those rich Republicans go up and stand naked against redwood trees right? I’ve never been to the Bohemian club but you oughta go. It’d be good for you. You’d get some fresh air.”
~ Bill Clinton

“A Bohemian tent in the 1900s, sheltering Porter Garnett, George Sterling and Jack London ”

Well, the Bohemian Grove is underway north of San Francisco. Taking advantage of the gathering, George Schultz and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University gathered an economic roundtable with Jeb Bush.

Project Censored’s Peter Phillips commemorated the event with a column, Global One Percent Celebrate at the Bohemian Grove.

Some likely topics: Making the key decisions regarding the federal fiscal 2016 budget to be finalized this fall, whacking up the $120 billion deals and sales to be financed in Iranian assets to be unfrozen and what % of the profits will be dedicated to which US Presidential campaigns. Then there is next steps on new technology – everything from evolving the energy model to the integration of robotics and AI.

To invent the future, you have to finance the conditions precedent that create that future. That means lots of discussion and consensus about sources and uses of funds across many industries, regions and investors.

It’s hard work, but someone’s gotta do it.

When I became a partner of a Wall Street firm, I attended the partners’ annual strategic planning conference. The Chairman of our firm attended the Grove faithfully every year. He started his remarks at our annual conference with the following:

“Let me tell you what is going to happen this year…”

  1. I wonder how much water they are using. Probably not set u for gray water yet.
    I guess we’ll know who the next President is going to bee, soon.

    1. You actually think they won’t install another Shrub? As long as George I (the first) is alive, I can bet the boys will go for one of theirs. I know that they are losing their grip on a number of us who they had hoped would continue to bleat along in our styles, but I for one am listening to Catherine because I think if we continue to follow the path of change, but change in which we actually become actively involved rather than passively letting it happen, these maroons will eventually lose control. Catherine’s discussion with Rep. McKinney was particularly enlightening when Cynthia suggested she was disappointed in the American people who did not rise up and object. Let the boys have their annual rituals and think they are above the rest of us. The world has already changed: it isn’t strictly a boy’s club, anymore. If we stay the path, I think there is light at the end of this tunnel.
