Prominent Men in Sonoma, Napa Counties Named in Leaked Bohemian Grove Membership List The Bohemian Club’s annual summer encampment, held in a secluded 2,700-acre forest near Monte Rio, has long been a gathering place for elites, including former presidents, Supreme Court justices, business leaders, and cultural icons. A recently leaked roster of attendees for the 2023 event has shed light on the local ties of many participants, revealing a mix of wine industry figures, artists, and politicians from Sonoma and Napa counties. The list, obtained by investigative journalist Daniel Boguslaw and shared in late February, includes names like documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and billionaire Michael Bloomberg. The club’s spokesperson confirmed the list’s authenticity but reiterated that membership details are confidential. The leak has sparked widespread media attention, highlighting the enigmatic nature of the event, which has been shrouded in secrecy since its founding in the 1870s. The Bohemian Grove, often described as a “Fight Club for the elite,” operates under strict rules, including the prohibition against discussing the event itself. Attendees, many of whom are prominent local figures, have declined to comment when approached by the Press Democrat. One described the club’s ethos as “not how this works,” while another warned that revealing membership could lead to “deep sh-t.” The leaked roster provides a detailed snapshot of the attendees’ backgrounds, with dozens having strong connections to Sonoma and Napa. Among them are wine industry leaders such as John Balletto, founder of Balletto Vineyards, and James T. Bundschu, a fourth-generation grape grower credited with reviving the Gundlach Bundschu Winery.#bohemian_club #daniel_boguslaw #michael_bloomberg #ken_burns #henry_kissinger
New Illuminati List Reveals 2,200 Bohemian Grove Members A leaked membership list for the Bohemian Grove retreat in 2023 has been published by independent journalist Daniel Boguslaw, exposing the identities of prominent figures associated with the secretive society. The list, obtained through persistent outreach to a San Francisco member, includes names like Paul Pelosi, Jimmy Buffett, Conan O’Brien, Michael Bloomberg, and Eric Schmidt. The publication marks a rare success in uncovering details about the exclusive group, which has long evaded scrutiny. The Bohemian Grove, located in Sonoma County, California, is a private campground where members gather for an annual retreat. Known for its exclusivity, the society has resisted attempts to document its members or activities. Journalists have historically used creative methods to infiltrate the site, such as posing as waiters or hikers, but many have faced obstacles. Mother Jones was the first to publish an inside account in 1981, describing the group as a gathering place for influential men. Notable incidents include Alex Jones’ controversial footage of a ceremony, Alex Shoumatoff’s arrest in 2008, and Chris Colin’s confrontation with security in 2018. Boguslaw bypassed these methods by directly contacting a member in San Francisco. After weeks of persistence, he received the 2023 list via a courier during a visit to a local club. The document contains approximately 2,200 names, many of whom are not widely recognized. Among the celebrities listed are Jimmy Buffett, Ken Burns, and Jim Belushi, alongside political figures like Henry Kissinger and business magnates such as Michael Bloomberg and Charles Koch.#bohemian_grove #daniel_boguslaw #san_francisco #sonoma_county #michael_bloomberg
