The Bohemian Club was founded in 1872 by a group that included journalists who wrote for the San Francisco Examiner, the private club has two locations for its members, the city clubhouse, which is the home of the Bohemian club located in Union Square district of San Francisco, and the retreat called Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County.
They secretly meet for seventeen days each July in a remote “sacred grove” of ancient redwood trees in the deep forests surrounding San Francisco. Some 1,500 in number, their membership roll is kept secret, but includes the super-rich, blood dynasty member families of the Illuminati; heavy-hitting corporate chieftains and high government officials. Mingling among them are a number of Hollywood movie stars, Broadway producers, famous entertainers, musicians, authors, painters and poets. Great statesmen and – so we’re told – gentlemen.
