A US deep state milieu in Northern California.

The Bohemian Grove is a 2,700-acre virgin redwood grove in Northern California, 75 miles north of San Francisco, which is a deep state milieu.

Official narrative

Nothing to see here, move along. A spokesperson for Bohemian Grove stated the people that gather there “share a passion for the outdoors, music, and theater.”

Membership

To join the Bohemian Club one must either be invited by several members or wait for decades. A $25,000 initiation fee and the costly yearly dues.

Cremation of care

A quasi occult ritual is played out every year:

As one listens to the barcarole, it becomes even clearer that many little extra touches have been added by the Bohemians who have lovingly developed this ritual over its ninety four-year history. The bier arrives at the steps of the altar. The high priest inveighs against Dull Care, the archenemy of Beauty. He shouts, "Bring fire," and the torchbearers (eighteen strong) enter. Then the acolytes quickly seize the coffin, lift it high above their heads, and carry it triumphantly to the pyre in front of the mighty Owl. It seems that Care is about to be consumed by flames.” |Is about=Bohemian Grove,|+sep=, |Has wikipediaPage= |Has location=|+sep=, |Has publicationDate= |Sourced from= |Has sourceDetails= |Has sourceTitle= |Has sourceName= |Has sourceURL=https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FC/FC8AEB056C2C32F10AFC327BA91F4A45_The_Bohemian_Grove_and_Other_Retreats.rtf.pdf

In 2011, the Washington Post headlined an article "Where the rich and powerful go to misbehave".
