Bohemians all! Enjoy your summer encampment!
Email Articlehttp://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/infrastructure By John C. Broome Thursday, July 9, 2009 The San Francisco-based Bohemian Club, perhaps the most exclusive mens club in the world, holds its Summer Encampment at the Bohemian Grove on the Russian River in mid-July each year. The top 2,000 leaders of business, government and academe gather for two weeks to commune, drink and revile among their peers. This is a note to each of them.
Celebrate your traditional Cremation of Care as your country descends into Fascism. (not my words; the words of respected Black Stanford economist, Thomas Sowell.) In your idyllic setting at The Grove, enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow 2,000 leaders of business, politics, and academe; as your government and the unions ignore your countys vaulted rule-of law, stiff bondholders in bankruptcy, and appropriate one seventh of the United States economy. Dont ponder whats to come. For Gods sake, dont even think about it!
Youve hired lobbyists and contributed, as they advised you, to Democrat politicians, and spoke nary a word against Card-check or The Fairness doctrine, much less the phony trillion dollar Stimulus Package. They told you it wasnt smart to raise your head above the bunker. Many of you even contributed to the Obama campaign, ignoring his stated promise to redistribute the wealth of America.
So, enjoy the Lakeside Talks; the enchanting walks up Edwards Road to the Club House; nodding with studied nonchalance to your fellow Bohemians with familiar names and faces, often second and third generation Club members; and enjoy the wonderful food and beverages at your camp. What fun! Youve earned it, havent you?
Some of you have garnered lucrative government contracts and grants all year. Often, you paid dearly for them. That was just part of the game, you knew. Arent you proud of your accomplishments?
When you arrive this year, you will notice that there is no gauntlet to run at Bohemian Road. Is it because they now consider you irrelevant, or is it that they know they have won.
You have always prided yourselves on being members of an exclusive club that has upheld the genteel values of Americas well-bred elite for over a hundred years. Your world has been as secure as your place in it. You have enjoyed the company of presidents and future presidents at The Grove, as well as your fellow leaders of American industry, media, and academe.
This summer, will you contemplate the recent Pravda article that said, American decent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed? Will you take note that the Justice Department has dropped the charges against the jackbooted Black Panther thugs, wielding weapons, who blocked polling places and intimidated voters in the last election?
Will you ask yourselves whether you and your fellow Bohemians, with all the power and authority that you possess, bear any responsibility for the current events? Will you ask if your world---Liberty and Capitalism---was so fragile that it could be taken away so easily?
It is breath-taking: Your government now owes a record $63.8 Trillion! And the president promised his supporters just three weeks ago in Los Angeles, You havent seen anything yet. As you watch, your government is stealing the fruits of the next two, or three, generations labor. Will your posterity curse you, Bohemians?
At the Grove this summer, will you ask yourselves what you will---must ?---do to reverse Americas decent into Marxism?
Or will you pursue your usual course of non-involvement, at least personally, because politics is such a dirty business, certainly beneath your station?
Will you ask yourselves if there will even be a Bohemian Club for your sons and grandsons to join? General Motors, Lehman Brothers, Circuit City, Countrywide, Bear Stearns, and numerous major banks are no more. Why should the Bohemian Club remain?
Is this a time for choosing, as your fellow Bohemian, Ronald Reagan, once said? He, the man who ended forty-four years of cold war, with his grit, patriotism, and determination.
Josiah Bartlett said it in 1776, The time is now at hand, when we shall see whether America has virtue enough to be free. John Hancock roared, If the cause commands it, burn Boston and make John Hancock a beggar!
What say you, Bohemians?
Postscript: Imagine what could happen if the combined wisdom and experience of the membership of the Bohemian Club united to accept their special responsibility to their country, and all it used to represent---Those who have so much deciding to give some back, not just in their own self-interest, but for their children and for their grandchildren.---If these Bohemians contributed a small percent of their worth, and devoted some percent of their time, to the cause of the United States of America; think of what could occur.
If ye love your wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude more than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen! Samuel Adams
