| Alright, so, in California, the members of the Bohemian Grove Club are meeting and bringing charges of great conspiracy theories as well as now protests. | |
| We have a clip of some of the protesters who gathered there yesterday morning in what seemed like an attempt with not quite enough people to block the road. | |
| Let's play that. On July 13, 2011, the 138th annual encampment will occur at the Bohemian Grove in Monterio, California. | |
| For two weeks in mid-July, the Bohemian Grove plays host to some of the most powerful men in the world. | |
| Okay, that was actually a clip from the main video that was put together to promote this or have the call to action. | |
| Can we play the clip of the protesters there yesterday? | |
| Do we have that as well? No? | |
| All right. Well, join me now to discuss this and understand, I hope, a little bit about the significance of what happens at the Bohemian Grove every year is none other than Stefan Molyneux, host of freedomainradio.com. | |
| Stefan, thank you so much for being with us tonight. | |
| My pleasure. How are you doing? Outstanding. | |
| You know, we have that clip roll-up, so I'm going to keep this up one more time. | |
| We're going to play this to show our audience what exactly went down outside the Bohemian Grove yesterday. | |
| Somebody turned the handle and Nyan Slade came up to that kid Okay, so we saw that they didn't quite have enough to really do an effective blockade of the road. | |
| Maybe a dozen people there protesting. | |
| There were reports that there were several dozen more throughout the day, but they ended up doing a protest on the side of the road and being escorted off. | |
| Stefan, why do you think people are, in 2011, for something that's been going on for decades, finally coming together to protest the Bohemian Grove? | |
| Well, I think there's a number of reasons, Adam. | |
| I think, first and foremost, there's a very powerful mythology around this, right? | |
| So, according to a number of sources, they worship the god Moloch. | |
| And doesn't that sound like some fiery demon who should be chasing Gandalf across a bridge? | |
| But they worship this being called Moloch, and they have ritual child sacrifices and all kinds of crazy frat house rituals. | |
| Wait, wait, wait. I thought Moloch was the guy that was supposed to be the owner of the second largest media conglomerate in the world. | |
| No? Oh, right, right. | |
| Close enough. I think they're cousins. | |
| But anyway, I think child sacrifice is very important. | |
| First of all, the god is an ancient anachronistic superstition, and so is the state. | |
| So I think that sort of fits well together. | |
| Also, the god demands child sacrifice. | |
| The state requires child sacrifice. | |
| It requires that children be placed in terrible schools for the sake of buying votes from teachers. | |
| It requires that children's futures be sold off for the sake of buying favorites from voters in the here and now. | |
| And of course, it demands that governments periodically go to war, which is the ultimate form of child sacrifice. | |
| So mythologically, I think it works really well. | |
| There is a very great primitivism in the state. | |
| It is one of the oldest human institutions. | |
| It has barely reformed itself in 10,000 years. | |
| And you have, at the top of them, you have... | |
| Oh, okay, fine, fine, fine, fine. | |
| Okay, so we're going to cut you off right there because I don't want to just let you wax philosophical. | |
| It's Friday. We're trying to have some fun with the Bohemian Grove story here, okay? | |
| Stefan, look. There are people coming together to protest this. | |
| Now, do you really think that the members of the Bohemian Grove, and it's about, what, 20, 2400? | |
| I mean, it's a pretty large group. | |
| Do you think that they really represent what the protesters are saying as a significant chunk of the American male, because it's a men-only event, male superclasses? | |
| Is it really that much? | |
| Yeah, I think it's fair to say. | |
| I mean, a number of very prominent politicians have gotten their start seemingly by giving speeches at the Bohemian Grove. | |
| Well, Nixon specifically credited the Bohemian Grove speech that he gave in 76 or 71 as really his first important step to the White House. | |
| That's pretty good for their credibility. | |
| Alan Greenspan went there before he became chairman of the Fed and Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton apparently have all been there. | |
| So yeah, look, these people have way more in common with each other than they have with you and I. This is what's so crazy about nationalism, right? | |
| We have more in common with some tax livestock over in Malaysia than we do with our own political leaders. | |
| That's why it's so bizarre that people follow what the political leaders do. | |
| It's a class that they live in the stratosphere. | |
| They're like Greek gods. They have way more in common with each other than you and I, so the fact that they get together and discuss the business of the world at our expense is entirely natural. | |
| We have one more clip I want to play from the promo video. | |
| Let's roll this. Occupy this intersection and the respective roadways completely. | |
| Lock entrance to Bohemian Grove until the presence of the police state requires you to move. | |
| But do this in a peaceful, noncombative way. | |
| Wear your face of anonymity. | |
| Let them see us as one. | |
| Let them see the face of the anonymous. | |
| So why is it that anonymous organizers are coming together on the Bohemian Grove as an issue? | |
| And is it really worth protesting this group of rich old powerful men meeting in the woods to do weird crazy stuff? | |
| I don't think so, no. Look, the fact that these men have something to meet about, that they have massive decisions to make about the world economy and their trading favors and trading relationships and so on, that's all in effect of political power. | |
| You don't worry about the manifestations of political power. | |
| You go to the root cause of political power, which is our belief in the state and the validity of taxation. | |
| So, protesting this is just like putting a band-aid on a wart. | |
| You've got to go to the root and cut it out, which means getting rid of the state. | |
| Protesting this is a waste of time. | |
| Well, well said. But I hope at least the good of this comes out of raising awareness about why these centers of power that shouldn't exist exist in the first place. | |
