WELCOME TO MONTE RIO

WELCOME TO MONTE RIO

A Bay Area Occu-Venture c/o Dr. Ryan Bartek

The yellow brick road doesn't end in glory, but rather the fatal remains of rust belt sacrifice... I have traversed Gary (Indiana), Cuba (Missouri), the rottenest urban decay of three dozen postmodern metropolises. 

As a taxi driver, I scoured every inch of war-zone Detroit. But despite these disjointed manifestations of grimness, it takes a final puzzle piece to recognize the hydra in full. That loosened jigsaw, vague to it's brother pieces, comes in the shape of a hamlet deep in the mountainous Redwoods.

Monte Rio, California is the creepiest city I've ever been to. Even the obscure depths of the Deep South fail to compare, because at least there is a familiarity with poverty & expected disappointment. That invisible lasso of economic distress holding these realms in place is the byproduct of many a “smoke-filled room” behind the curtain of Oz, so to speak. 

When you overhear that leathery 50+ year old woman at the Shell Station counter explaining her rampant medical bills to the trucker that's buying $2 pipe tobacco because that's all he can afford, close your eyes & drift away to that movie scene where two dozen politi-scum converge about a round table. Every man looks like Dick Cheney or Newt Gingrich – fat, balding, shameless & white-haired. 

Imagine that these clandestine puppet-masters are scheming over a vast system of control which has since ancient Rome kept a deliberate social hierarchy in place. Where the poverty they've created & intentionally sustained is the largest criminal conspiracy ever devised, and the CIA is literally the coke/crack/meth cartel flooding the streets all the while assisting an internal police state based on a for-profit prison system now backed by military power & a vast Orwellian apparatus that cannot be diffused. 

But it's not a smoke-filled room where this theoretical hidden hand is meeting, nor is it some “one size fits all” Illuminati-like fraternity. The closest thing we get to the “secret puppet-masters of the universe” is this thing in Monte Rio, and it's not easy to grasp. No one is quite sure what to make of Bohemian Grove, but everyone agrees that the top 1% of the 1% dropping off the face of the planet for two weeks to attend a clandestine all-male campground where they are giving secret political speeches is bad news. 

That they perform a ceremony called “The Cremation of Care” while carrying lit torches & wearing KKK-like outfits & then burning an effigy (symbolizing “care”) inside a human coffin underneath a 40 foot stone owl statue that looks like some HP Lovecraft Necronomicon elder god is also really bad news. Extremely bad news. What do you do with that, once you accept it's real? Once you realize this is what half of our Congress in Washington DC does in their spare time? When the House majority is literally a Grove majority? If you're like me, you come straight to the source.

Monte Rio is a stage prop. No place other then Hollywood gave me the same impression, when you get there & it's the end of a carefully built sound stage, like all reality is the finale of The Truman Show.

Monte Rio does the same for politics, for the media, for the military industrial complex. I mean, it is literally a stage prop. There is an old school 1950's hand painted sign as you pull into town square which reads “Welcome to Monte Rio: Vacation Wonderland.” The “town square” is just a dust bowl – a dirt patch the size of a small parking lot & surrounded by a rusty old gas station, a decrepit movie theater & a deli mart that was closed even on this sunny Saturday. 

But then you walk past this shell of a ghost town & you find a small trail that leads up to the tiny crossroads of Railroad & Bohemian. Shooting down Bohemian Avenue is a small bridge with “do not trespass/private property” signs & dozens of surveillance cameras hidden in the trees. You feel like you are staring into The Blair With Project as you gaze down this corridor, or perhaps the intro of George A. Romero's Tales From The Darkside with that cheesy negative filmstrip image toaster effect. 

We were out the car 5 minutes before two undercover cars circled past us. A car with punk rock bumper stickers pulled up with some curious kids checking it out, giving us a fearful look before zooming away really fast. We hopped inside our vehicle & were soon trailed back to the main street stage prop by the sheriff of Monte Rio and also a man on a motorcycle with all black leather & a reflective, faceless biker helmet...

Earlier in the day I had met with The Bohemian Grove Action Network & some members of Occupy Santa Rosa (the closest major city to The Grove). The understanding I have of this Occupy Bohemian Grove protest now looming on the horizon is one of a probable circus. Ever since the call went out for a peaceful presence in July, the highly detailed FAQ has circulated like wildfire. The zeitgeist is rolling & everyone in Occupy is waking up to this hidden reality the same way we all sort of fell into ALEC, Monsanto, Stratfor, HAARP & Bilderberg. 

From July 13^th-30^th, it's going to be uncharted territory – no one is quite sure how many will show up. Thankfully, I can report that the ground organizers are going the full distance in assuming 10,000 people might just show up. They are working on public campgrounds to store people, port-a-pottys, community outreach. Unlike other major occupations which have foolishly been declared without any real physical planning, this one has a chunk of the legitimate needs & support necessary to sustain itself. Or so it appears. But it doesn't matter – Occupiers know how to handle & sustain themselves.

It was Saturday night, and the next stop of my Bay Area Occu-Tour was the almighty Occupy Oakland. Like everyone, I'd been watching their exploits on livestream like a mythological phalanx ever since the job on Scott Olson. Saturday nights, I'd been told, was their weekly “Fuck The Police” march. 

Amazed (but not surprised) at this blatantly terrible courting of public opinion, it was clear that the situation had deteriorated so badly that they no longer had any sort of honeymoon with the public. Like all the major Occupations, they were relentlessly infiltrated & attacked. And when the going got tough, the jellyfish bailed -- leaving the few dozen hardcore occupiers who refused to go home & then became a daily target to vengeful predators with badges. 

Oakland was a dead scene though – no one was returning my texts & I couldn't locate the enraged mob anywhere. Since sleeping on the street in Oakland = waking up without your travel pack/wallet, I headed to Berkeley for a safe crash spot beneath an oriental massage parlor... 

I returned Sunday 4/16 to Oakland for GA. The park was down the street from the Obama re-election HQ which was a bigger ghost town then Monte Rio itself. It was pitch black inside, pathetic – cardboard cut-outs of the smiling Obama family in the windows. It looked like a Blockbuster Video that went out of business 5 years ago & no one had since touched... 

GA was interesting – sunny, bright & planted with informants that people were eyeballing as outsiders. The kid that started Occupy Phoenix had just run away from Arizona; I was the first person he talked to having just wandered into Oakland same as I. He said he made a Facebook page in October and within 3 days thousands of people showed up. By the end -- last week – it had devolved to him and two other kids. He said there was no cohesion between the radicals & the Obama-bots & the situation was unsustainable. Said he came to Oakland for “the real shit.”

The spirit was strong – their GA felt like one of Occupy Portland's at Shemanski Park in the short-lived “Golden Age.” The most freakish topic was one woman whose husband wanted custody of her son, so he told the judge she brought her child to Occupy Oakland's GA. This was enough legal precedence to kidnap her son from her. There was word circulating that the courts are gearing up to steal kids & put them in foster homes for Occupy related actions in smaller communities in the USA where no one will be looking. Neo-McCarthyism via child hostages...

The most surreal moment came at Occupy Oakland's stronghold – an info-shop called The Holdout. There were about 50 people sitting in fold out chairs listening to a panel of 5 speakers. The room was a true melting pot. The presenters were passing around a clipboard filled with 100+ FBI/DHS documents highlighting official communications declaring Occupiers internal terrorists. The entire 1984 game plan was now clearly laid out before them.

It was the mind blowing moment when I saw first hand all these 27-33 year old white professionals from upper middle class families & educated backgrounds come to the turgid conclusion that Alex Jones' most lucid NWO fantasies are now for all intents the really real world & that they're living in an absolute police state guided by Marshall Law. 

And these people were bringing this horrible fact to their GA as if this was an issue that could be solved by talking it out with the larger group the same way we'd sort out a lack of toilet paper for the sanitation committee or the engineering tent needs more generators or what have you. But there was no solution, only shaky voices & frightened eyes. We were now terrorists. There was no consensus to pass & there was absolutely no going back...

I decided to go to downtown San Francisco... Here I was in the most “progressive” city in the USA & certainly one of the most political, but at 1am that Sunday night/Monday morning I watched what was symbolically the final deathblow after months of struggle. In the end, despite all the big talk, Occupy SF was withered down to myself, a Buddhist from West Virginia, a 19 year old 103lbs cancer patient & one brilliant maniac named Gypsy that can only be described by casting Heath Ledger in the role of Jeffrey “12 Monkeys” Goines... 

Occupy SF had done the impossible – solved homeless harassment by police for all of San Francisco. Except, of course, for the one tiny patch of land in front of The Federal Reserve they've perpetually occupied since September. This is the only place the cops say they will enforce the no camping ban – only because it's Occupy SF. Their menacing fold out table is stacked with flyers & a bunch of sleeping bags are crammed into a pile within this sacred 10x10 space. The police told us quite directly (and for the first time) that the entire city of San Francisco was open to sleep on the streets. We could go anywhere – just not here. And if we dared to sleep here, in this Occupy Eden, we would be arrested on the spot. 

I read aloud my 2012 State of the CounterCulture Union Address over a bullhorn in front of The Fed with the audience of OSF & two cops parked nearby. Gypsy began yelling at the cops, daring them to come arrest him. He had hellfire in his eyes – he'd finally reached that point beyond all points. The cops finally were angered enough that when Gypsy tried to sleep on the ground just to annoy them they called in the paddywagon to arrest us all, ejecting us from the scene with bitter consequences if we continued on. The 15 others hanging around scattered, leaving us 4. We hauled our belongings down the street under an tavern awning lest they steal all our possessions.

The cops said only one person could stay in that spot, that they couldn't have a blanket or any items, and they had to stand there from 1am-5am before anyone else could enter that Occu-Territory. The cops sat in their cars & watched as the skinny 19 year old female 103lbs cancer patient refused to move, shaking from the cold in a thin hoodie, while her boyfriend sobbed across the street because she would not be detoured. In all of San Francisco, this was the last defense – me & three “west coast street crazies.”

The next morning Gypsy told me some scary stuff over coffee. He said that following the mass arrest in Oakland on January 28^th 600 people were arrested, and 193 disappeared. He said that even if the number of people is inflated, there are dozens missing nonetheless: “Most of these people are people that were just there for the march. Oakland police arrested 600 people and later that day [they] listed 40 some odd people in jail. A couple days later the number had grown to over a hundred. By the time it was said & done, 407 were said to be held on warrants or released.”

“However for anyone that was watching-- the prison buses used hold 50 prisoners a piece & they used 12 buses and all were filled to capacity. My question is what happened to the 193 other people? I've had people pop up – 'what happened to homeboy, cousin, brother, dad' on the internet and in person. These people went to the January 28^th march and never returned. My fear is that these people haven fallen to NDAA which allows them to indefinitely detain protesters in FEMA camps.”

Stay tuned America -- shit's getting real...

STATE OF THE COUNTERCULTURE UNION ADDRESS 2012 c/o Dr. Ryan Bartek

STATE OF THE COUNTERCULTURE UNION ADDRESS 2012 c/o Dr. Ryan Bartek (PHD of Free Therapy & Cryptozoology)

(**note: the views expressed herein are solely those of the author & do not reflect any sort of official communication from those involved in the OCCUPY BOHEMIAN GROVE campaign.)

It was barely a year after the fall of Wall Street, in February 2010, when I penned the first SOTCU ADDRESS. I was literally stranded on the Treasure Island of Pyrate Lore, licking my wounds in Florida, hopelessly treading water amidst the utter decimation of the American economy.

My secret tropical island paradise had frozen to record low temps – black ice slicked the pavement, palm trees were brown. I was working 15 hours a week at minimum wage for one of the most evil corporations in America, only because there was no other way out. Even hustling like a Crackhead Spainjer was ironically useless, because here I was in one of the biggest tourist traps of The South and it was an absolute ghost town. This venerated rich kid Spring Break Hallelujah Town was Arctic as the ICE PLANET HOTH. Even the home-bums migrated like sparrows.

OBAMA had still yet to completely turn heel & still struggling to pass “ObamaCare.” There was still a thread of hope attached to this man, even if saturated by mainstream DNC influence. After all, he wasn't Skull & Bones or a Freemason; he wasn't quite tied to old money or The Hidden Hand. Surely he had a corporate stooge streak (he was a Capitalist President, after all) – but he wasn't one of “them.” OBAMA seemed to know that by proxy he was setting an example as a historical figure & tried to live up to that pressure as humanistic as possible. When I met the man, long before he was president, I did not get the vibe of pure evil. To be honest, he had an aura like a powerhouse. I knew he was going to significant.

But then he pushed through the health care plan, and for the GOP it was like smashing a hornets nest with a baseball bat. He crossed the line & the propaganda flood was totalitarian in its vengeance. Exactly as I'd said – the second OBAMA gets in, the avalanche of doom the Neo-Cons manifested would plow him right under.

And then poking around online, in the dead of frozen night, I found a video with Obama & John Walsh (of “Amercia's Most Wanted” fame). Obama explained how he was trying to put through legislation that would require every cop to take DNA Samples from anyone they pulled over in traffic without requiring a warrant or just cause. That this DNA would be logged in an international database in which all branches of the FBI/CIA/Interpol/ISI would have unquestioned legal access.

That's when my extremely cautious & shaky honeymoon with Barack Obama ended. Soon after that I arrived in Portland, Oregon, the day of the BP Oil Catastrophe. That's about the time Obama went Grey, when he start looking as haunted as Mussolini in 1945. 

Most assumed The Illuminati just flipped the remote control of a Manchurian Candidate-like microchip in the back of his head & rendered him a human robot. Or perhaps the Aliens came down & replaced him with a genetic CloneSlave. Surely that would make more sense then the incoherent enigma that is his presidency.

Nothing he does adds up, and with the severity that the Lusitania or Gulf of Tonkin doesn't add up. Which is to say it isn't supposed to “add up,” but rather only to contribute to that old world scheme residing behind that all too familiar curtain of Oz. 

He's just another stooge, as they all are. This is why the Federal Reserve has gone on without penalty or oversight. This is why the Patriot Act was passed once again without dissent. This is why he's aggressively furthered pointless wars which like all American wars are never meant to be won, only sustained to line the pockets of Dow Jones profiteers.

As is why he's filled his cabinet with the same wrecking ball economists that are behind the switchboards of this blatantly phony “recession” just as they were during “the great depression” or any other similar pyramid scheme of “economical calamity.” How are we in a great depression when every Fortune 500 company is making record profits? When we are besieged with a period of historical, staggering abundance?

We've reached a point where their hands are so far into the cookie jar they don't even feel the need to mask it anymore. They went whole-hog for the grand burglary & no one said a god damned word. The people just took it, buying the careful matrix of propaganda built from the leverage & participation of the reigning media tycoons. It really isn't much more difficult then that. 

They sunk the Lusitania, they forced the Japanese to attack us, they fabricated the Gulf of Tonkin, they framed the Bay of Pigs, they killed 1500+ people at The World Trade Center. The clear evidence does not support any other view & I cannot even communicate with anyone who doesn't see through this.

And people wonder why we are so angry. Why we're marching in the streets. Why even after they beat, torture, paralyze & terrorize us we refuse to give up or go home. Somehow we've reached a point where even the most fever-pitch kook calling in to the Alex Jones show is probably right about everything.

Most still have no idea about COREXIT 9500, even in the Age of Occupy. In April 2010, to combat the BILLION GALLONS OF CRUDE OIL that shot from the Earth's Crust, Obama allowed BP to dump 50 MILLION GALLONS of Corexit 9500 into The Gulf, which is a chemical 4x more toxic then the crude oil itself. Corexit’s function is to literally eat the oil, instantly obliterating it into minuscule particles. In theory, these particles are biodegradable & mix into the ocean currents like loose grains of sand.

 In reality, Corexit had never actually been used on anything larger then 1000 barrels of oil – which is why all of these globules have accumulated into a massive jellyblob which is crawling along The Gulf floor.

Furthermore, the chemical immediately releases the most deadly, latent properties of crude, causing the surrounding water to soak up 3,500% more of the toxic properties then it would in its natural state. This aquatic Corexit landmass – this oxygen-deprived, toxic vacuum – has already killed millions of fish, altering the eco-system & supposedly mutating the genetics of all ensnared life forms. As this Blob lingers off the coast of Florida for the next few hundred years, smaller chunks continue to wash ashore in Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, etc.

At a microscopic level, it’s been continually ingested through skin contact of any & all swimming those same beaches. Having never been tested at length on human subjects – and quickly banned in the UK – a 2011 investigation determined that Corexit is a confirmed carcinogen in all probability worse then Agent Orange itself. It literally makes red blood cells hemorrhage when ingested. When the EPA refused to test the seafood for months, Walmart threatened to pull out of selling any seafood from The Gulf. Then the EPA panicked and said 300 PPM of COREXIT 9500 on food was fine – and ever since then people have been devouring this neurotixic poison en masse.

Furthermore, this mix of Corexit, crude oil & methane gas has for some time been evaporating and, in turn, raining down upon the region – supposedly all the way into Canada. This precipitation was (and still is) affecting plant life like an acidic pesticide. One search on YouTube will bring forth hundreds of amateur videos of these events throughout 2010, as well as testimonials from people dizzy/vomiting after heavy rains, sick for days – their homes covered in oily residue & streets slicked with that distinctive“rainbow film.”

I wrote about this crisis extensively & worked closely with journalists who traveled to New Orleans/Florida to cover this when OBAMA signed an executive order stating that any journalist or new agency caught filming the “clean up effort” (i.e. criminal cover up) would be sentenced to 15 years in prison with a federal felony and charged a $40,000 fine. If you don't believe me, they shut down Anderson Cooper live on CNN. And then the story went away.

Obama has knowingly murdered tens of thousands from chemical poisoning & given millions more crippling defects which will not be apparent for many years.

Which brings us to the next point – FUKUSHIMA. When that 9.2 earthquake rocked Japan on March 11^th, it crippled three nuclear power plants in one blow [the entire Fukushima Diachi complex]. All three plants experienced total nuclear meltdown & have since released staggering amounts of radiation that are so unfathomably high the highest-tech equipment mankind possesses cannot gauge it…

These aren’t nuclear meltdowns – they are melt-throughs. Something, you must understand, which has never happened in all of history. The radioactive ooze inside the broken reactors is so uncontrollably hot that it’s burned through the containment units. Just Imagine the blood splatter from James Cameron’s Aliens & insert Mother Earth into the equation. If these volatile streams of toxic ooze burn their way to underlying volcanic activity, then the chain reaction could make the entire complex explode -- thus sending a portion of the world into a sort of nuclear winter, rendering significant parts of Japan/Indo-China uninhabitable …

As the guts of Fukushima hollow their path through Terra Firma, all groundwater & soil it connects with will be coated with lethal radiation & genetic mutagens that will last for 12 billion years. In response to this problem, Tepco (the Corporation which owns these reactors) has admitted that they cannot in anyway coat these plants with concrete & forge a makeshift band-aid of lead & cement like the Russians did at Chernobyl.

You may have heard the plant workers were dumping seawater inside the reactors with fire hoses to keep them from exploding, and this part is true. What they haven’t explained is that every time they stop, 50 years of spent uranium catches on fire & releases about 1000 times the amount of radiation the Hiroshima bomb let off.

At this point, in June, Japan has been coated by an estimated fallout that is equivalent to 20,000 atomic bombs & that the rain coming down on the Japanese people clocks in the same as a highly targeted dose of aggressive chemotherapy. The sewers of Japan are now clogged with raw sewage on par with near-identical levels. You ask: “Where does radioactive sewage come from?” Well, from people shitting pure radiation… 

 

What you also don’t know is that the Japanese government – at the behest of the Obama administration – has dumped this radioactive seawater [which registers at 7.5 million times the legal limit] directly into the ocean. This factoid comes from the Chinese government’s official website, who recently posted this as a warning to their citizens. Their discovery is that a 250,000 kilometer slick of radiation is now floating in The Pacific [aka 100,000 square miles]. And this lethal, eternal sludge is on a time frame to coat the beaches of Hawaii & the entire West Coast of The United States by 2013… 

 

One speck of these radioactive properties [like plutonium or cesium] will absolutely kill you & could easily be ingested in a piece of fish, seaweed or rainwater. Once you have one of these particles in your system, this mutates you a cancer-radiating death totem for all those surrounding you. When you die the particle lives on, buried with you forever; eventually flushed out through decomposition into the soil/water supply that in turn finds it’s way back into the population…

Researchers are pulling car filters out of vehicles in Seattle & said filters are setting off Geiger Counters – the data shows everyone in the Northwest has been inhaling 5 hot particles of radiation a day; the Japanese 30. The data also indicates that the evacuation levels of Chernobyl are now permanent life in the soil & water supply of Tokyo – in some cases registering 30 times higher then the Russian calculations…

The US government’s answer has been to stop testing the rain & raise the “safe levels” of radiation intake by 300% [the Japanese raised it 2000%]. In reality, the rain in San Francisco recently tested at 18,000 times the normal level, and particles of Plutonium have been discovered in milk as far East as Vermont. It’s being found in the tap water of virtually every major USA city & where it’s been strongest the death rate of newborns & infants [including miscarriages] has shot through the roof…

Amidst this murderous, negligent rampage we view the true face of Barack Obama – withered & gray, unhinged & desperate, simmering with destitute hypocrisy. No other character in literature comes so close to representing his abhorrent duality then Harvey Dent.

For the man who once promised the most transparent administration in history has now sustained & illegally launched more wars & draconian police state laws then any other President in USA history. BUSH II was so horrible that he made Ronald Reagan look good by comparison – but OBAMA somehow making BUSH II seem tame by comparison? OBAMA beefed up the NDAA, thus making the military & the police one in the same, rendering the USA a legal battlefield in which anyone can be assassinated, black-bagged, tortured, erased without a warrant or even just cause. 

He extended “Homeland Security” to over million employees, manned the FEMA camps with armed MP's, launched the ICE centers, sold himself wholesale to the Bilderberg mob. He shredded the constitution, eliminated Habeas Corpus, filled his administration with the same criminal political mafia that has haunted our country forever. And when the Occupy Protests started, the Federal Government (under executive directives) launched a Cointelpro operation where they were coordinating raids against dozens of our camps throughout the nation & sending Homeland Security en masse to stalk us, arrest us, beat us, wipe us out. From BUSH nothing changed – it only got worse.

The recently passed dictatorial order “National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order” does to the country as a whole what the NDAA did to the Constitution – completely evaporates any form ot due process or judicial oversight for any action taken by the Government in the interest of "national security."

This new Executive Order gives supreme power to the president & his cabinet. The Secretary of Defense has power over all water resources; The Secretary of Commerce has power over all material services and facilities, including construction materials; The Secretary of Transportation has power over all forms of civilian transportation; The Secretary of Agriculture has power over food resources and facilities, livestock plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment; The Secretary of Health and Human Services has power over all health resources; The Secretary of Energy has power over all forms of energy. Don't believe? Read here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness

What is the alternative? No challenge from the left, and the Republican roll-call of candidates is symbolically as disgusting as the reality at hand. Romney (the Bilderberg stooge), GinGrinch (the Bohemian Grove puppet), Bachmann (the Tea Party ignoramus), Cain (the Federal Reserve implant) & Santorum (the anti-gay nut-job literally named after sloppy queer buck-shot ass-froth).

You know you are absolutely f**ked when Ron Paul is the last true beacon of hope & rational sanity. But when a situation this critical arises, you better pray to whatever deity you subscribe that the crazy guy from Texas whose spent 50+ years ranting about the Orwellian Conspiracy makes it into office. In terms of Paul, he has as many goofy views as he does legitimate ones – and as a third party can fairly much give the Tea Party AND Occupy essentially what they want, or launch us in the direction of clarity. All Ron Paul really needs is 24 hours in office & he'll wave his crazy old man magic wand & undo everything the Bilderberg/Grove mob put into play through one savage pen stroke.

But reality is reality, and Ron Paul is not going to win. Even if he won the popular vote (as he actually might in Texas and California – something no one in the establishment media wants to ponder) they wouldn't let him take office. And Romney is not going to win either – there's no way. A Mormon will not be allowed in the White House. So get used to it – it's going to be 4 more years of Barack Obama & his raised-chin, resurrected Egyptian Pharaoh bullshit.

And I still haven't even gotten to my main point – BOHEMIAN GROVE. An old CIA guy once told a friend of mine: “believe nothing you read and only half of what you see.” Damn skippy.

When the OCCUPY Protests began – when legitimate dissent was under constant threat from gangs of riot cops in storm trooper gear – I kept telling people that we would eventually reach this point. When the charge was lead against the obvious, fathomable targets (banks, corporations, corrupt politicians) it would eventually lead down the path I was assured it would. Chiefly, that long, winding road of inescapable conspiracy involving all those scary esoteric fraternities & royal bloodlines. I knew Occupy would soon find itself mired in OCCUPY BILDERBERG, OCCUPY FREEMASONRY, OCCUPY AGENDA 21, OCCUPY GOLDEN DAWN, OCCUPY THULE SOCIETY, OCCUPY SKULL & BONES, OCCUPY FEDERAL RESERVE – all the way down the line to OCCUPY HOLLOW EARTH.

Which is why I've gone whole-hog to try and maneuver the Occupy zeitgeist at one target in particular –

OCCUPY BOHEMIAN GROVE.

Never heard of this? It's because you aren't supposed to know. They've flexed all their muscle to bury this from the public for 123 years, but you can't stop a revelation thats time has come. So imagine if once a year the grand puppet-masters of the 1% all gather together for their own clandestine Burning Man gathering deep in the redwoods of Northern California.

Bohemian Grove is a super-exclusive encampment/party for the most corrupt of “The 1%” whose attendees have included every Republican President since 1888, as well as Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch, Warren Buffet, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, Karl Rove, Norman Schwarzkopf & the Rockefeller Family. Other names include high-ranking members of ALEC, NATO, NAFTA, Stratfor, Haliburton, The United Nations, Bilderberg Group, CIA, FBI, Federal Reserve & the 9/11 Commission report committee. The list continues to spiral with a laundry list of major players in world politics, big business, the banking industry & the military industrial complex.

Those involved are either guests or members of “The Bohemian Club.” Formed in the 1870's as something resembling an artists retreat, this 2700 acre campground (dubbed “Bohemian Grove”) exists 75 miles North of San Francisco. This camp was slowly bought out & became an annual, clandestine party.

Every year from mid-July to the beginning of August, these men hold secretive “Lakeside Talks.” This is the cause of concern – secret seminars involving unbelievable concentrations of wealth and power. One can ask “if it's secret, how do you know about this?” Because while the contents of these talks remain a mystery, we know for a fact they take place. Also, program guides which have been leaked contain dubious speeches involving everything from reshaping the Middle East through NATO involvement, nuclear energy, prison systems, war strategy, banking cartels, etc.

But here's where it gets weird – it's not just a normal camp. You have entire sectors of industry & government camping together by occupation – 118 of these different camps. A major sector of the worldwide banking structure have been secretively, annually & historically camping together as “The Lost Angels.” It's like a virtual world in itself that's a cross between an Ewok Village of Endor and a pseudo-mystical, closet queer “Illuminati bathhouse.” They even have “camp valets” which are male prostitutes who accompany guests for both weeks.

Does that make you feel warm & fuzzy inside? Or that the campground is lit by torches, has a mock pagan altar surrounded by a giant pentagram and an “eternal flame” genie lamp in the middle that's been lit since the 1930's? Or that there's even a 30 foot high Buddha shrine thrown in for good measure?

That's just the tip of the iceburg. The reason The Grove has been so infamous is because the “Cremation of Care” ceremony. You might have heard something in passing – some weird shit about an owl statue, some occult talk before shrugging it off. Well, this centerpiece has been infiltrated & filmed by Alex Jones of Infowars & twice by The BBC ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CTVTk3_lttw & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHeP4OGZO0g ).

While many conspiracy types have bought this claim as if this is some literal black magic rite, the more plausible answer is the one given to us by The Bohemian Club itself. Once they couldn't hide it anymore, they released a statement following the BBC infiltration. Basically, this weird ritual I will describe was part of a larger play that went on in the late 1800's. The ritual was eventually separated from the larger play & used as a party-initiating spectacle on the big first night.

So while these people look terrifying in their robes, this is more a “Fred Flintstone in the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes” sort of thing. At least theoretically, until you see some of the more disturbing photographs. In fact, even in a cartoon vaudeville context, it's extremely creepy.

To kick-start the two-week party, our leaders gather around a man made lake in the middle of The Grove. At the shoreline of this lake is a 40 foot stone owl, which is the mascot of Bohemian Club. Dubbed “Moloch” by conspiracy types (but actually called “The Owl of Bohemia” by club members) this owl statue is terrifying looking – ominous, huge & half covered in moss like some pagan black magic god. While the rest of the club watches from wooden bleachers, about two dozen Grovers march out in druid-like outfits holding lit torches.

They are cloaked in red KKK-like outfits & are carrying a funeral coffin that is dubbed “care.” Inside this coffin is the dummy of a human that represents the Club's pent up “cares.” It is placed under this monstrous & gigantic owl statue. The show then begins. The owl speaks from recording equipment rigged inside the hollow statue and recites a creepy sermon, laughing a mad laugh. Those in the druid hoods then set this coffin on fire with their torches in what appears to be a mock human sacrifice. Pyrotechnics then explode everywhere.

Now, Perhaps it really is a “Water Buffalo's” thing, but that's not really important. They can start wars, destroy the economy, crush our civil liberties & the general populous expects it. But this thing? If we convince even a small portion of the Right Wing, God-Fearing, Tea Partyin' Christian masses that this is real, we have a wildfire on our hands. As always, they'll see only what they want to see – namely, Satan incarnate, or what have you.

Bottom line is it's freakish & damaging beyond all belief. And once this thing gets entrenched in the national dialogue in a serious way, the GinGrinch's of the world simply cannot talk their way out of it. No way -- it's the ultimate skeleton in their closet & we've built an international coalition to relentlessly expose this.

Everything Bohemian Grove represents is in one microcosm all that is inherently wrong about these individuals we've collectively deemed “The 1%” & this is clear evidence of clandestine monopoly through 1% brotherhood.

Until these people are removed from power -- until we finally cast off the ancient, lingering chains of the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, the World Bank & the NWO in the broadest sense possible – we will never know peace. Your children will never have a future. Natural time will never be restored. The wars will not cease, because they are only meant to be sustained and never won. They are not for the issues of terrorism or national security, but rather highly crafted products of an international criminal cartel. OBAMA and ROMNEY are the same person & to vote for them is to vote for the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Bushes.

And here I am, once again, all out of steam. But not for long. I have a plan, and it's quite a doozie.

In a few short weeks I will be embarking on my first ever OCCU-WORLD TOUR.

Beginning May 7^th, I will be dumped off in the middle of Europe. Until July 15^th, I will traveling the continent getting endorsements & setting up actions for the first-ever BOHEMIAN GROVE INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS DAY.

I'll be publishing articles about my travels in THE PORTLAND OCCUPIER, an online newspaper based in Oregon in which I'm a staff member/road journalist. I'm actively working with The Portland Occupier to build a GLOBAL OCCUPIED NEWS SERVICE. This project will work as an RSS Feed & web-ring. To get connected, visit: www.portlandoccupier.org/ ( email: portland.occupier@gmail.com )

I'll also be gathering material for a future book of this style continuing on the “BIG SHINY PRISON/FORTRESS EUROPE” styled non-fiction journalism I'm principally known for. As always, I'll be interviewing a bunch of metal/punk/industrial/alternative/rock/freak bands in the process as I make my way through other progressive/alternative movements abroad. To understand the style of this journalism, here's my most recent book “FORTRESS EUROPE (The Big Shiny Prison Vol. II)”: http://www.scribd.com/doc/54281199/FORTRESS-EUROPE

I plan to make my way through Berlin, Copenhagen, Amsterdam & Brussels before heading south to aggressively travel Spain, Portugal & Italy. I'll also be visiting Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest & Greece before ending up at the Obscene Extreme Festival in Prague 7/11-7/15. Other cities/countries will be visited & announced as the project unfolds, and I expect to perform random dates doing book readings, spoken word & raw acoustic.

I'll be heading back to the USA to join the OCCUPY BOHEMIAN GROVE protests scheduled in Monte Rio, CA from July 14th-August 1st. All people need to do to participate in the first ever Bohemian Grove International Awareness Day on Saturday July 14th is pass out flyers in high-traffic public areas. Peaceful marches are also welcomed. This isn't merely a “political” protest. This is about ripping down “The Curtain of Oz”: http://www.scribd.com/doc/86505846/Occupy-Bohemian-Grove-July-2012

Anyone that would like to participate (and yes, that means you who are reading this right now), or if you would like to contact me, please email ryanbartek@hotmail.com

It's called KARMA – and a lot of it is going around these days.

xXx
