F r a n C h i J r . As America travels along on its course with destiny, I often wonder about the invisible hands molding our laws, our media, and ultimately, our lives. These invisible forces seem to corral the people into shopping malls on certain days or makes them hide in a corner when the threat level is raised. Are we truly represented in congress or are our elected leaders paid lip service by the elite? Who are the elite? The late George Carlin said it best “it’s a private club, and you ain’t invited!” Are deals really made in smoky back rooms? Are there really bizarre initiation rites to become accepted by those mortals who pull the strings of society? In this, our 11th issue of Republic, we have dared to venture into the tombs, temples and halls of the secret rulers to bring light to the dark places so that you may know where to clip the strings of the puppet masters.

  • Meet the Secret Rulers of the World the Truth About the Bohemian Grove by Alexander Cockburn 6-16-1
    Meet The Secret Rulers Of The World The Truth About The Bohemian Grove By Alexander Cockburn http://www.antiwar.com 6-16-1 Where's the fashionable rendezvous for the World's Secret Government? In the good old days when the Illuminati had a firm grip on things, it was wherever the Bilderbergers decided to pitch their tents. Then Nelson and David Rockefeller horned their way in, and the spotlight moved to the Trilateral Commission. Was there one secret government or two? Some said all the big decisions were taken in England, at Ditchley, not so far from the Appeasers' former haunts at Cliveden and only an hour by Learjet from Davos, which is where jumped up finance ministers and self-inflating tycoons merely pretend they rule the world. Secret World rulers spend a good deal of time in the air, whisking from Davos to APEC meetings somewhere in Asia, to Ditchley, to Sun Valley, Idaho, tho' mercifully no longer to the Clinton-favored Renaissance Weekend in Hilton Head, South Carolina. But comes next July 14 and every self-respecting member of the Secret World Government will be in a gloomy grove of redwoods alongside the Russian river in northern California, preparing to Banish Care for the 122nd time, prelude to three weeks drinking gin fizzes and hashing out the future of the world. If the avenging posses mustered by the Bohemian Grove Action Network manage this year to burst through the security gates at the Bohemian Grove, they will (to extrapolate from numerous eyewitness accounts of past sessions) find proofs most convincing to them that here indeed is the ruling crowd in executive session: hundreds of near-dead white men sitting by a lake listening to Henry Kissinger.

We knew it was coming. Now it's here, and soon, there will be no place left to hide. By the year 2000, Big Brother's evil, octopus-like tentacles will squeeze every ounce of lifeblood out of the people. A nightmarish, totalitarian police state is at hand. That is the thoroughly documented message-and momentous warning-sounded in this book. Do not for an instant think that you and your loved ones can escape the monstrous behemoth which lies in our path. Once Project L.U.C.I.D. is fully operational, every man, woman, and child will fall under the power of its hideous, cyberelectronic grasp. The Magnitude and Dimensions of Project L.U.C.I.D.. Consider the unbelievable magnitude and dimensions of Project L.U.C.I.D.. First, it mandates that every adult and child-even newborn babies-be issued a universal biometrics I.D. card. A "Smart Card" with an advanced computer microchip, this powerful, reprogrammable I.D. card will store millions of bytes of information about the recipient-his or her photo, fingerprint, footprint, iris (eye) scan, DNA genotype, human leukocyte antigen data, financial status, and personal history.

    Gendered Voices: Rhetorical Agency and the Political Career of Hillary Rodham Clinton A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Justin Lee Killian IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, Ph.D. (Adviser) August 2012 © Justin Lee Killian 2012 Acknowledgments As a critic, I seek to understand how agency is created by the phrases we write and the words we speak. I love language, and these pages are my attempt to make sense of voice, rhetoric, and politics. The insightful ideas in this project come from the beautiful voices of my friends and family. The mistakes and blunders are all mine. I am blessed by the love of so many wonderful people, and I offer these acknowledgments as a small gesture of gratitude to all who have touched this project. As an academic, I am most indebted to Karlyn Kohrs Campbell for her faith and guidance. She nurtured this project from the beginning, and she was the driving force that helped push me over innumerable stumbling points. I am so glad she offered tough love and refused to let me stop fighting. I can only hope that my work in some way answers the important call Dr. Campbell has issued to the field of rhetorical studies. I am honored that she gave me her time and dedication. She will forever be my mentor and teacher. I also give thanks to the other members of my review committee. I am very grateful to the guidance provided by Edward Schiappa.

  • The Bohemian Grove
    The Bohemian Grove The Bohemian Grove was created in 1872 where men worshipped an Owl statue. As time went on, the wealthy businessmen controlled the Grove (above and beyond the original middle class artists in the group). At first, Grovers would camp at various places like the present Muir Woods, Samuel P. Taylor State park, and a separate redwood grove near Duncans Mills. Regular July encampments similar to those held today began in 1899. The first parcel of the grove was purchased from Melvin Cyrus Meeker who developed a successful logging operation in the area. Gradually over the next decades, members of the Club purchased land surrounding the original location to the perimeter of the basin in which it resides . Their motto is “Weaving spiders, come not here.“ These words existed from Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.“ That means that outside concerns and business deals are to be left outside. There is an interesting story of tale of Minerva and Arachne. Arachne is Greek for spider. The story revolves about a weaking contest between Minerva (who is called the goddess of arts, needle work, and weaving) against Arachne. Arachne losing the competition and turns into a spider. This motto of “Weaving Spiders Come Not Here” might to alluded to the myth . The area where the Grove is at is located at 20601 Bohemian Avenue in Monte Rio, California. The ceremonies occur in mid-July each year. It hosts a three week encampment. Its members aren’t just former U.S. Presidents business leaders, and bankers. There are some artists and musicians there as well.
