House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Spotted at Bohemian Grove Secret Society

The intimate connection between secret societies and the nation’s political elite is as strong as ever.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was among those present at this year’s infamous meeting of the secretive Bohemian Club at the Bohemian Grove campground in Monte Rio, California.

Known as much for its eyebrow-raising occult-tinged rituals as for its luminary member roster, the male-only Bohemian Club has hosted business titans (William Randolph Hearst, the Rockefellers) and presidents (Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon). It was reportedly the place where J. Robert Oppenheimer first discussed the Manhattan project.

Donald Trump is notably one major power player who is not known to be involved with the Bohemian Club. But he was a major topic of conversation at the group’s July meeting last week.

As Politico reports:

At The Bohemian Grove, the secretive conclave of men who gather in Northern California, the attendance was a Who’s Who of pre-Trump Republicans, a murderer’s row of bundlers and Wall Street Journal editorial page favorites including former House Speaker Paul Ryan and ex-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, as my colleague Ryan Lizza reported. With fear setting in about Trump’s re-nomination, the gathering became something of a fantasy camp on how to avert that prospect or at least confront it. One name that came up as a potential apolitical independent nominee was retired Admiral William McRaven, the former special operations commander who became chancellor of the University of Texas.

Politico further reported that, per sources in attendance at Bohemian Grove, McCarthy spoke favorably of Trump, expressing confidence that he will claim the GOP nomination for the presidency.

At Bohemian Grove, the world’s rich and powerful dress in ceremonial garb, chant around a bonfire, and burn a child in effigy in the presence of a large owl-shaped idol.

The group was started after the Civil War by Henry Harry Edwards, originally as a club for artists, writers, journalists, and other “Bohemians” to get together and relax. Since then, though, the outfit has grown to include more than 2,500 of the world’s elites.

The Bohemian Club, like other major secret societies, has an agenda of furthering globalism. At the United Nations’ founding conference in 1945, UN delegates and key dignitaries were invited to Bohemian Grove for a special program.

During their time at Bohemian Grove, members are known to walk around the forest in the nude inebriated and urinating at will throughout the camp.

During the notorious “Cremation of Care” ceremony in which a human effigy is sacrificed to their owl statue, Bohemians take part in a “sermon” which includes the following words:

The Owl is in his leafy temple. Let all within the grove be reverent before him. Lift up your heads oh ye trees and be lifted up ye everlasting spires, for behold here is Bohemia’s shrine, and holy are the pillars of this house.… We shall read the sign. Midsummer sets us free! Ye shall burn me once again! Not with these flames! Which hither ye have brought from regions where I reign. Ye fools and priests, I spit upon your fire! O Owl! Prince of all mortal wisdom, Owl of Bohemia, we beseech thee, grant us thy counsel.… O Great Owl of Bohemia! We thank thee for thy adjuration. Be gone detested care! Be gone! Once more, we banish thee! Be gone dull care! Fire should have its will of thee! Be gone dull care! And all the winds make merry with thy dust. Hail, fellowship’s eternal flame! Once again, Midsummer sets us free!

Notably, the owl, specifically known as the Owl of Minerva, was an emblem used by the historical Bavarian Illuminati in their “Minerval” degree.

The historical Order of the Illuminati, which even George Washington knew of and warned against, was a conspiratorial group that sought to undermine Christianity and the governments of the day to replace them with a one-world system that would eliminate private property, provide for the state rearing of children, and instill vice instead of biblical morality.

While the initial German-based Illuminati was suppressed by the Bavarian authorities, the organization merely relocated and rebranded itself, fomented the French Revolution that murdered King Louis XVI, and then laid the groundwork of the modern socialist and communist movements.

Tracing the roots of this conspiracy, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill wrote in 1920 that it “has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.”

Former John Birch Society CEO Art Thompson, in his book To the Victor Go the Myths and Monuments, posited that modern secret societies such as the Bohemian Club and Yale University’s Skull & Bones are continuations of the historical Illuminati.
