The Rebel Warrior


Image by abhikrama
Tenzin Tsundue is a restless young Tibetan who, after graduating from Chennai South India, braved snowstorms and treacherous mountains, broke all rules and restrictions, crossed the Himalayas on foot and went into forbidden Tibet! The purpose? To see the situation of his country under Chinese occupation for himself, and find out if he could lend a hand or two in the freedom struggle. He was arrested by the Chinese border police, and after cooling his heels in prison in Lhasa for three months, was finally pushed back to India.

Born to a Tibetan refugee family who laboured on India’s border roads around Manali, North India, during the chaotic era of Tibetan refugee resettlement in the early seventies. Tenzin Tsundue is a writer-activist, a rare blend in the Tibetan community in exile.

He published his first book of poems “Crossing the Border” with money begged and borrowed from his classmates while doing his Masters degree in Literature from Bombay University. His literary skills won him the first-ever ‘Outlook-Picador Award for Non-Fiction’ in 2001. In this all-India essay contest Tsundue took first prize from 900 other entries. His second book Kora is already in its fifth editions selling more than ten thousand copies, besides it French and Malayalam translations. His third book – Semshook, a compilation of essays on the Tibetan freedom movement was published in March 2007, and it is already in its second edition.

Tenzin Tsundue joined Friends of Tibet (INDIA) in 1999. Since then he’s been working with the organization as its General Secretary. In January 2002 his profile peaked when he scaled scaffolding to the 14th floor of the Oberoi Towers, in Mumbai, to unfurl a Tibetan national flag and a banner down the hotel’s facade which read ‘Free Tibet’. China’s Premier Zhu Rongji was inside the hotel addressing a conference of Indian business tycoons. The world’s media featured this feat and Indian police officials congratulated him in prison for standing up for his rights. In April 2005 he repeated a similar stunning one-man protest that captured the world’s imagination while Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao was visiting India’s tech capital, Bangalore. Because of these daring protest actions, the Government of India restricted his movements at the request of the Beijing government during Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to India in November 2006. He was detained within Dharamsala jurisdiction for fourteen days, constantly surveilled by police and intelligence escort. India’s 50 Most Stylish People: The ELLE Hotlist!
Tsundue has been wearing a red band around his head for the past six years which, he says is the mark of his pledge that he would work for the freedom of his country, and would never take it off until Tibet is free, and work in the struggle everyday. Red for him is the colour of courage.

Tenzin Tsundue’s writings have been published in The International PEN, The Indian PEN, Sahitya Akademi’s Indian Literature, The Little Magazine, Outlook, The Times of India, The Indian Express, Hindustan Times, Better Photography, The Economic Times, Tehelka, The Daily Star (Bangladesh), Today (Singapore), Tibetan Review and Gandhi Marg.

As a poet he represented Tibet in the Second South Asian Literary Conference in New Delhi in January 2005 organized by Sahitya Akademi, Poetry Africa 2005 and KATHA Asia International Utsav 2006, New Delhi. Both as an activist and a writer, Tsundue fights tooth and nail, night and day for the freedom of his country. His writings are published online at

Cute kitten, inked on May 13, 2010


Image by aaipodpics
The idea was to make something almost anyone can make, and to have a cat as its subject.

For this experiment I used the match stick depicted on the top right to create this inked drawing. I also used regular Indian ink, an old photo of a Burmese kitten, a color scanner, a color printer, and a piece of thick drawing paper that fit in the paper tray of the printer.

I first scanned the original photo, edited out most of the background in an image editor (I used the free GIMP, but I guess Photoshop or Photoshop Elements will do just as well), turned it into a blue and white picture**, which I printed on a piece of thick drawing paper.

After inking the drawing with a chewed match stick, I glued the (now broken) match stick to the drawing, used an unused stick to balance and scanned in color. By decomposing in CMYK and removing the CMY layers, I was left with the inked drawing, while removing the printed "underdrawing". Finally, I leveled out the image (31, 1.00, 241) and saved it as a JPEG.

** Note — I used this technique: 1) desaturate the image, 2) invert the colors in the main layer, 3) create a new layer, 4) fill it with #d76e30 (R=215, G=110, B=48), 5) set the new layer’s layer mode to Multiply, 6) flatten the image, 7) invert the colors.

BTW I used a match stick instead of a regular brush or dip pen, because it makes you less precious about the outcome. It should be about having fun, not about skill and technique. You can’t be very precise with a chewed match stick. Yes, I chewed on the non-business end of the stick, to make it flatter and more flexible, like a brush.

AASCA Gear

At this year’s coffee championships bonanza weekend, AASCA was super-organised, providing cool little badges, branded pens and membership stickers. Unfortunately, I forgot to pick up a membership sticker, but I have no business place at which to display it, so I suppose it doesn’t matter. Particular thanks should go to BeanScene Magazine, which is published by a group of companies that includes a printing company. They used their resources to print an event timetable booklet and those nifty AASCA stickers on the back of the clipboards for the judges. These stickers proved to be a particularly good idea; whenever we were filmed, the camera caught the AASCA logo on the back of our clipboards.

Tide Laundry Detergent-

Wikipedia

Tide (brand)

Tide is the name of a popular laundry detergent on the market in Canada, the United States and other countries. It is manufactured by Procter & Gamble. Tide is marketed under various sub-brands, such as 2x Ultra Tide. First introduced in test markets in 1946 with national distribution reached in 1949, Tide was voted as "America’s Washday Favorite." It quickly gained dominance in the detergent market, dwarfing the sales of other P&G products, such as Ivory Snow, as well as the competition from Rinso. The latter two were soap powders and flakes. In the late sixites and early seventies, it was branded as "Tide XK" (The XK standing for Xtra Kleaning), but it was rebranded as Tide later on. Originally, Tide was a white powdered bead, but the brand line was later expanded to include an orange-tinted clear liquid form in 1984. Today, most formulations of liquid Tide are dark blue with the exception of Tide Free, which is clear. An addition to the Tide Family, Tide Cold Water was formulated to tackle stains while saving energy because it does not require hot or even warm water. A portable stain removing pen known as Tide to Go® is popular among travelers. Tide is recognized for its distinctive orange-and-yellow bullseye logo. The original logo was designed by Donald Deskey, a famous industrial and identity designer. Tide was the first product to be nationally packaged using Day-Glo colors, strikingly eye catching when first introduced. The logo people see today is a product of a slight modification for the product’s fiftieth anniversary in 1996. Currently, the Tide brand is given to over half a dozen powders and liquid detergents in the United States alone.

The potential of dodecyl benzene sulfonate, the basis for Tide, was confirmed by SRI in 1948 through strategic scientific and business consulting activities for the petroleum company Chevron.

In Latin America the Tide formula is marketed under the name Ace, and in Turkey under the name Alo.

In 2006 the development of Tide was designated an ACS National Historical Chemical Landmark in recognition of its significance as the first heavy-duty synthetic detergent.

WUP (Wake Up Pad) One – with Flickr notes


Image by Earl – What I Saw 2.0
I just made this from a Moleskine Cahiers mini-note book, and I’ve already put it into play. There are 6 parts to a WUP – which can be any kind of notebook, pda, tape recorder – you just have to use it!

1. Carry it everywhere – memory faulty, pen and paper, reliable.

2. Scan – the world and write down what you see, without comment or judgement. Observe, don’t judge.

3. Eavesdrop – listen to what people are talking about – live, radio, TV – don’t judge, just listen, and write it down.

4. Ponder – read over what you’ve seen/heard and think about it. Write down some implications.

5. Talk about it – bounce your thoughts off others – everyone who matters – who are observing and interacting, too. Here’s what I’m seeing/hearing/noticing – and kick it around together.

6. Do something about it! Stick out your neck and try something new.

The concept is from Radical Edge, by Steve Farber – excellent book on how to stoke your business, amp your life and change the world. How could I not want to do those three things?

Occupy Bohemian Grove: State of the Counterculture Union Address 2012 by Dr. Ryan Bartek

OCCUPY BOHEMIAN GROVE: STATE OF THE COUNTERCULTURE UNION ADDRESS 2012 BY DR.
RYAN BARTEK
(Edited by VVV PR for format but not verified as to content.)

It was barely a year after the fall of Wall Street, in February 2010, when I
penned the first SOTCU ADDRESS. I was literally stranded on the Treasure
Island of Pyrate Lore, licking my wounds in Florida, hopelessly treading
water amidst the utter decimation of the American economy.

My secret tropical island paradise had frozen to record low temps – black
ice slicked the pavement, palm trees were brown. I was working 15 hours a
week at minimum wage for one of the most evil corporations in America, only
because there was no other way out. Even hustling like a Crackhead Spainjer
was ironically useless, because here I was in one of the biggest tourist
traps of The South and it was an absolute ghost town. This venerated rich
kid Spring Break Hallelujah Town was Arctic as the ICE PLANET HOTH. Even
the homeless bums migrated like sparrows.

OBAMA had still yet to completely turn heel and was still struggling to pass
"ObamaCare." There was still a thread of hope attached to this man, even if
saturated by mainstream DNC influence. After all, he wasn’t Skull and Bones
or a Freemason; he wasn’t quite tied to old money or The Hidden Hand.
Surely he had a corporate stooge streak (he was a Capitalist President,
after all) – but he wasn’t one of "them." OBAMA seemed to know that by
proxy he was setting an example as a historical figure and tried to live up
to that pressure as humanistic as possible. When I met the man, long before
he was president, I did not get the vibe of pure evil. To be honest, he had
an aura like a powerhouse. I knew he was going to significant.

But then he pushed through the health care plan, and for the GOP it was like
smashing a hornets nest with a baseball bat. He crossed the line and the
propaganda flood was totalitarian in its vengeance. Exactly as I’d said -
the second OBAMA gets in, the avalanche of doom the Neo-Cons manifested
would plow him right under.

And then poking around online, in the dead of frozen night, I found a video
with Obama and John Walsh (of "America’s Most Wanted" fame). Obama
explained how he was trying to put through legislation that would require
every cop to take DNA Samples from anyone they pulled over in traffic
without requiring a warrant or just cause. That this DNA would be logged in
an international database in which all branches of the FBI/CIA/Interpol/ISI
would have unquestioned legal access.

That’s when my extremely cautious and shaky honeymoon with Barack Obama
ended. Soon after that I arrived in Portland, Oregon, the day of the BP Oil
Catastrophe. That’s about the time Obama went gray, when he started looking
as haunted as Mussolini in 1945. Most assumed The Illuminati just flipped
the remote control of a Manchurian Candidate-like microchip in the back of
his head and rendered him a human robot. Or perhaps the Aliens came down
and replaced him with a genetic CloneSlave. Surely that would make more
sense then the incoherent enigma that is his presidency.

Nothing he does adds up, and with the severity that the Lusitania or Gulf of
Tonkin doesn’t add up. Which is to say it isn’t supposed to "add up," but
rather only to contribute to that old world scheme residing behind that all
too familiar curtain of Oz. He’s just another stooge, as they all are.
This is why the Federal Reserve has gone on without penalty or oversight.
This is why the Patriot Act was passed once again without dissent. This is
why he’s aggressively furthered pointless wars which like all American wars
are never meant to be won, only sustained to line the pockets of Dow Jones
profiteers.

As is why he’s filled his cabinet with the same wrecking ball economists
that are behind the switchboards of this blatantly phony "recession" just as
they were during "the great depression" or any other similar pyramid scheme
of "economical calamity." How are we in a great depression when every
Fortune 500 company is making record profits? When we are besieged with a
period of historical, staggering abundance?

We’ve reached a point where their hands are so far into the cookie jar they
don’t even feel the need to mask it anymore. They went whole-hog for the
grand burglary and no one said a god damned word. The people just took it,
buying the careful matrix of propaganda built from the leverage and
participation of the reigning media tycoons. It really isn’t much more
difficult than that. They sunk the Lusitania, they forced the Japanese to
attack us, they fabricated the Gulf of Tonkin, they framed the Bay of Pigs,
they killed 1500+ people at The World Trade Center. The clear evidence does
not support any other view and I cannot even communicate with anyone who
doesn’t see through this.

And people wonder why we are so angry. Why we’re marching in the streets.
Why even after they beat, torture, paralyze and terrorize us we refuse to
give up or go home. Somehow we’ve reached a point where even the most
fever-pitch kook calling in to the Alex Jones show is probably right about
everything.

Most still have no idea about COREXIT 9500, even in the Age of Occupy. In
April 2010, to combat the BILLION GALLONS OF CRUDE OIL that shot from the
Earth’s Crust, Obama allowed BP to dump 50 MILLION GALLONS of Corexit 9500
into The Gulf, which is a chemical 4 times more toxic then the crude oil
itself. Corexit’s function is to literally eat the oil, instantly
obliterating it into minuscule particles. In theory, these particles are
biodegradable and mix into the ocean currents like loose grains of sand. In
reality, Corexit had never actually been used on anything larger then 1000
barrels of oil – which is why all of these globules have accumulated into a
massive jelly blob which is crawling along The Gulf floor.

Furthermore, the chemical immediately releases the most deadly, latent
properties of crude, causing the surrounding water to soak up 3,500% more of
the toxic properties then it would in its natural state. This aquatic
Corexit landmass – this oxygen-deprived, toxic vacuum – has already killed
millions of fish, altering the eco-system and supposedly mutating the
genetics of all ensnared life forms. As this Blob lingers off the coast of
Florida for the next few hundred years, smaller chunks continue to wash
ashore in Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, etc. At a microscopic
level, it’s been continually ingested through skin contact of any and all
swimming those same beaches. Having never been tested at length on human
subjects – and quickly banned in the UK – a 2011 investigation determined
that Corexit is a confirmed carcinogen in all probability worse then Agent
Orange itself. It literally makes red blood cells hemorrhage when ingested.
When the EPA refused to test the seafood for months, Walmart threatened to
pull out of selling any seafood from The Gulf. Then the EPA panicked and
said 300 PPM of COREXIT 9500 on food was fine – and ever since then people
have been devouring this neurotoxic poison en masse. Furthermore, this mix
of Corexit, crude oil and methane gas has for some time been evaporating
and, in turn, raining down upon the region – supposedly all the way into
Canada. This precipitation was (and still is) affecting plant life like an
acidic pesticide. One search on YouTube will bring forth hundreds of
amateur videos of these events throughout 2010, as well as testimonials from
people dizzy/vomiting after heavy rains, sick for days – their homes covered
in oily residue and streets slicked with that distinctive "rainbow film."

I wrote about this crisis extensively and worked closely with journalists
who traveled to New Orleans/Florida to cover this when OBAMA signed an
executive order stating that any journalist or new agency caught filming the
"clean up effort" (i.e. criminal cover up) would be sentenced to 15 years in
prison with a federal felony and charged a ,000 fine. If you don’t
believe me, they shut down Anderson Cooper live on CNN. And then the story
went away. Read my report here:

www.scribd.com/doc/39720625/ACROPOLIS-NOW-The-Great-Ameri…
-by-Ryan-Bartek

Obama has knowingly murdered tens of thousands from chemical poisoning and
given millions more crippling defects which will not be apparent for many
years.

Which brings us to the next point – FUKUSHIMA. When that 9.2 earthquake
rocked Japan on March 11th, it crippled three nuclear power plants in one
blow (the entire Fukushima Diachi complex). All three plants experienced
total nuclear meltdown and have since released staggering amounts of
radiation that are so unfathomably high the highest-tech equipment mankind
possesses cannot gauge it…

These aren’t nuclear meltdowns – they are melt-throughs. Something, you
must understand, which has never happened in all of history. The
radioactive ooze inside the broken reactors is so uncontrollably hot that
it’s burned through the containment units. Just imagine the blood splatter
from James Cameron’s Aliens and insert Mother Earth into the equation. If
these volatile streams of toxic ooze burn their way to underlying volcanic
activity, then the chain reaction could make the entire complex explode -
thus sending a portion of the world into a sort of nuclear winter, rendering
significant parts of Japan/Indo-China uninhabitable…

As the guts of Fukushima hollow their path through Terra Firma, all
groundwater and soil it connects with will be coated with lethal radiation
and genetic mutagens that will last for 12 billion years. In response to
this problem, Tepco (the Corporation which owns these reactors) has admitted
that they cannot in anyway coat these plants with concrete and forge a
makeshift band-aid of lead and cement like the Russians did at Chernobyl.

You may have heard the plant workers were dumping seawater inside the
reactors with fire hoses to keep them from exploding, and this part is true.
What they haven’t explained is that every time they stop, 50 years of spent
uranium catches on fire and releases about 1000 times the amount of
radiation the Hiroshima bomb let off.

At this point, in June, Japan has been coated by an estimated fallout that
is equivalent to 20,000 atomic bombs and that the rain coming down on the
Japanese people clocks in the same as a highly targeted dose of aggressive
chemotherapy. The sewers of Japan are now clogged with raw sewage on par
with near-identical levels. You ask: "Where does radioactive sewage come
from?" Well, from people shitting pure radiation…

What you also don’t know is that the Japanese government – at the behest of
the Obama administration – has dumped this radioactive seawater (which
registers at 7.5 million times the legal limit) directly into the ocean.
This factoid comes from the Chinese government’s official website, who
recently posted this as a warning to their citizens. Their discovery is
that a 250,000 kilometer slick of radiation is now floating in The Pacific
(aka 100,000 square miles). And this lethal, eternal sludge is on a time
frame to coat the beaches of Hawaii and the entire West Coast of the United
States by 2013…

One speck of these radioactive properties (like plutonium or cesium) will
absolutely kill you and could easily be ingested in a piece of fish, seaweed
or rainwater. Once you have one of these particles in your system, this
mutates you a cancer-radiating death totem for all those surrounding you.
When you die the particle lives on, buried with you forever; eventually
flushed out through decomposition into the soil/water supply that in turn
finds its way back into the population…

Researchers are pulling car filters out of vehicles in Seattle and said
filters are setting off Geiger Counters – the data shows everyone in the
Northwest has been inhaling 5 hot particles of radiation a day; the Japanese
30. The data also indicates that the evacuation levels of Chernobyl are now
permanent life in the soil and water supply of Tokyo – in some cases
registering 30 times higher then the Russian calculations…

The US government’s answer has been to stop testing the rain and raise the
"safe levels" of radiation intake by 300% (the Japanese raised it 2000%).
In reality, the rain in San Francisco recently tested at 18,000 times the
normal level, and particles of Plutonium have been discovered in milk as far
East as Vermont. It’s being found in the tap water of virtually every major
USA city and where it’s been strongest the death rate of newborns and
infants (including miscarriages) has shot through the roof…

Amidst this murderous, negligent rampage we view the true face of Barack
Obama – withered and gray, unhinged and desperate, simmering with destitute
hypocrisy. No other character in literature comes so close to representing
his abhorrent duality than Harvey Dent. For the man who once promised the
most transparent administration in history has now sustained and illegally
launched more wars and draconian police state laws then any other President
in USA history. BUSH II was so horrible that he made Ronald Reagan look
good by comparison – but OBAMA somehow making BUSH II seem tame by
comparison? OBAMA beefed up the NDAA, thus making the military and the
police one in the same, rendering the USA a legal battlefield in which
anyone can be assassinated, black-bagged, tortured, erased without a warrant
or even just cause. He extended "Homeland Security" to over million
employees, manned the FEMA camps with armed MP’s, launched the ICE centers,
sold himself wholesale to the Bilderberg mob. He shredded the constitution,
eliminated Habeas Corpus, filled his administration with the same criminal
political mafia that has haunted our country forever. And when the Occupy
Protests started, the Federal Government (under executive directives)
launched a Cointelpro operation where they were coordinating raids against
dozens of our camps throughout the nation and sending Homeland Security en
masse to stalk us, arrest us, beat us, wipe us out. From BUSH nothing
changed – it only got worse.

The recently passed dictatorial order "National Defense Resources
Preparedness Executive Order" does to the country as a whole what the NDAA
did to the Constitution – completely evaporates any form of due process or
judicial oversight for any action taken by the Government in the interest of
"national security." This new Executive Order gives supreme power to the
president and his cabinet. The Secretary of Defense has power over all
water resources; The Secretary of Commerce has power over all material
services and facilities, including construction materials; The Secretary of
Transportation has power over all forms of civilian transportation; The
Secretary of Agriculture has power over food resources and facilities,
livestock plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm
equipment; The Secretary of Health and Human Services has power over all
health resources; The Secretary of Energy has power over all forms of
energy. Don’t believe? Read here:

al-defense-resources-preparedness

What is the alternative? No challenge from the left, and the Republican
role call of candidates is symbolically as disgusting as the reality at
hand. Romney (the Bilderberg stooge), GinGrinch (the Bohemian Grove
puppet), Bachmann (the Tea Party ignoramus), Cain (the Federal Reserve
implant) and Santorum (the anti-gay nut-job literally named after sloppy
queer buck-shot ass-froth).

You know you are absolutely f**ked when Ron Paul is the last true beacon of
hope and rational sanity. But when a situation this critical arises, you
better pray to whatever deity you subscribe that the crazy guy from Texas
whose spent 50+ years ranting about the Orwellian Conspiracy makes it into
office. In terms of Paul, he has as many goofy views as he does legitimate
ones – and as a third party can fairly much give the Tea Party AND Occupy
essentially what they want, or launch us in the direction of clarity. All
Ron Paul really needs is 24 hours in office and he’ll wave his crazy old man
magic wand and undo everything the Bilderberg/Grove mob put into play
through one savage pen stroke.

But reality is reality, and Ron Paul is not going to win. Even if he won
the popular vote (as he actually might in Texas and California – something
no one in the establishment media wants to ponder) they wouldn’t let him
take office. And Romney is not going to win either – there’s no way. A
Mormon will not be allowed in the White House. So get used to it – it’s
going to be 4 more years of Barack Obama and his raised-chin, resurrected
Egyptian Pharaoh bullshit.

And I still haven’t even gotten to my main point – BOHEMIAN GROVE. An old
CIA guy once told a friend of mine: "Believe nothing you read and only half
of what you see." Damn skippy.

When the OCCUPY Protests began – when legitimate dissent was under constant
threat from gangs of riot cops in storm trooper gear – I kept telling people
that we would eventually reach this point. When the charge was led against
the obvious, fathomable targets (banks, corporations, corrupt politicians)
it would eventually lead down the path I was assured it would. Chiefly,
that long, winding road of inescapable conspiracy involving all those scary
esoteric fraternities and royal bloodlines. I knew Occupy would soon find
itself mired in OCCUPY BILDERBERG, OCCUPY FREEMASONRY, OCCUPY AGENDA 21,
OCCUPY GOLDEN DAWN, OCCUPY THULE SOCIETY, OCCUPY SKULL and BONES, OCCUPY
FEDERAL RESERVE – all the way down the line, to OCCUPY HOLLOW EARTH. Which
is why I’ve gone whole-hog to try and maneuver the Occupy zeitgeist at one
target in particular – OCCUPY BOHEMIAN GROVE.

Never heard of this? It’s because you aren’t supposed to know. They’ve
flexed all their muscle to bury this from the public for 123 years, but you
can’t stop a revelation thats time has come. So imagine if once a year the
grand puppetmasters of the 1% all gather together for their own clandestine
Burning Man gathering deep in the redwoods of Northern California.

Bohemian Grove is a super-exclusive encampment/party for the most corrupt of
"The 1%" whose attendees have included every Republican President since 1888
as well as Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch, Warren Buffet, Colin Powell, Donald
Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, Karl Rove, Norman
Schwarzkopf and the Rockefeller Family. Other names include high-ranking
members of ALEC, NATO, NAFTA, Stratfor, Haliburton, The United Nations,
Bilderberg Group, CIA, FBI, Federal Reserve and the 9/11 Commission report
committee. The list continues to spiral with a laundry list of major
players in world politics, big business,the banking industry and the
military industrial complex.

Those involved are either guests or members of "The Bohemian Club." Formed
in the 1870′s as something resembling an artists’ retreat, this 2700 acre
campground (dubbed "Bohemian Grove") exists 75 miles north of San Francisco.
This camp was slowly bought out and became an annual, clandestine party.

Every year from mid-July to the beginning of August, these men hold
secretive "Lakeside Talks." This is the cause of concern – secret seminars
involving unbelievable concentrations of wealth and power. One can ask "if
it’s secret, how do you know about this?" Because while the contents of
these talks remain a mystery, we know for a fact they take place. Also,
program guides which have been leaked contain dubious speeches involving
everything from reshaping the Middle East through NATO involvement, nuclear
energy, prison systems, war strategy, banking cartels, etc.

But here’s where it gets weird – it’s not just a normal camp. You have
entire sectors of industry and government camping together by occupation -
118 of these different camps. A major sector of the worldwide banking
structure have been secretively, annually and historically camping together
as "The Lost Angels." It’s like a virtual world in itself that’s a cross
between an Ewok Village of Endor and a pseudo-mystical, closet queer
"Illuminati bathhouse." They even have "camp valets" which are male
prostitutes who accompany guests for both weeks.

Does that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? Or that the campground is
lit by torches, has a mock pagan altar surrounded by a giant pentagram and
an "eternal flame" genie lamp in the middle that’s been lit since the
1930′s?Or that there’s even a 30 foot high Buddha shrine thrown in for good
measure?

That’s just the tip of the iceburg. The reason The Grove has been so
infamous is because the "Cremation of Care" ceremony. You might have heard
something in passing – some weird shit about an owl statue, some occult talk
before shrugging it off. Well, this centerpiece has been infiltrated and
filmed by Alex Jones of Infowars and twice by the BBC:

While many conspiracy types have bought this claim as if this is some
literal black magic rite, the more plausible answer is the one given to us
by the Bohemian Club itself. Once they couldn’t hide it anymore, they
released a statement following the BBC infiltration. Basically, this weird
ritual I will describe was part of a larger play that went on in the late
1800′s. The ritual was eventually separated from the larger play and used
as a party-initiating spectacle on the big first night.

So while these people look terrifying in their robes, this is more a "Fred
Flintstone in the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes" sort of thing. At least
theoretically, until you see some of the more disturbing photographs. In
fact, even in a cartoon vaudeville context, it’s extremely creepy.

To kick-start the two-week party, our leaders gather around a man made lake
in the middle of The Grove. At the shoreline of this lake is a 40 foot
stone owl, which is the mascot of Bohemian Club. Dubbed "Moloch" by
conspiracy types (but actually called "The Owl of Bohemia" by club members)
this owl statue is terrifying looking – ominous, huge and half covered in
moss like some pagan black magic god. While the rest of the clubwatches
from wooden bleachers, about two dozen Grovers march out in druid-like
outfits holding lit torches.

They are cloaked in red KKK-like outfits and are carrying a funeral coffin
that is dubbed "care." Inside this coffin is the dummy of a human that
represents the Club’s pent up "cares." It is placed under this monstrous
and gigantic owl statue. The show then begins. The owl speaks from
recording equipment rigged inside the hollow statue andrecites a creepy
sermon, laughing a mad laugh. Those in the druid hoods then set this coffin
on fire with their torches in what appears to be a mock human sacrifice.
Pyrotechnics then explode everywhere.

Now, perhaps it really is a "Water Buffaloes" thing, but that’s not really
important. They can start wars, destroy the economy, crush our civil
liberties and the general populous expects it. But this thing? If we
convince even a small portion of the Right Wing, God-Fearing, Tea Partyin’
Christian masses that this is real, we have a wildfire on our hands. As
always, they’ll see only what they want to see – namely, Satan incarnate, or
what have you.

Bottom line is it’s freakish and damaging beyond all belief. And once this
thing gets entrenched in the national dialogue in a serious way, the
GinGrinch’s of the world simply cannot talk their way out of it. No way -
it’s the ultimate skeleton in their closet and we’ve built an international
coalition to relentlessly expose this.

Everything Bohemian Grove represents is in one microcosm all that is
inherently wrong about these individuals we’ve collectively deemed "The 1%"
and this is clear evidence of clandestine monopoly through 1% brotherhood.
Until these people are removed from power – until we finally cast off the
ancient, lingering chains of the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, the World Bank and the
NWO in the broadest sense possible – we will never know peace. Your
children will never have a future. Natural time will never be restored. The
wars will not cease, because they are only meant to be sustained and never
won. They are not for the issues of terrorism or national security, but
rather highly crafted products of an international criminal cartel. OBAMA
and ROMNEY are the same person and to vote for them is to vote for the
Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Bushes.

Robert M. Shaffer

Co. A, 38th OH. Infantry
History of Montgomery County, Kansas. By Its Own People.Published by L. Wallace Duncan. Iola, Kansas. Press of Iola Register. 1903.
R. M. SHAFFER-Among the prominent and representative citizens of Elk City, is R. M. Shaffer, grain and coal dealer. His connection with the busiuess interests of the town dates back to l892, and prior to that he had been one of the leading farmers of the county for thirteen years. Three decades of circumspect living in a community gives a man a most powerful influence in shaping its moral and civic life, and thus the biographer found Mr. Shaffer a most proper subject for a volume devoted to the history of the men who have made Montgomery what she is today-among the best counties in the state.
Athens county, Ohio, was the place of the birth of Mr. Shaffer and July 11, 1846, the date. He had not yet finished his school days when the roll of the drum fired his young and couiageous heart to volunteer for the defense of Old Glory, and right valiantly did he carry himself during the four long years of that sanguinary conflict. He enlisted three different times and served in all. three years and three months. His first enlistment was in Co. "H," 87th O. V. I., May 25, 1862. This regiment became a part of the Army of the Potomac, and was stationed at Harper’s Ferry. It had .scarcely got its bearings when the Confederates appeared in force and captured the whole post. The munitions of war seemed the only part of their capture they cared to keep, and the regiment was paroded en masse on the 17th of September. Resolved to see more of the war, our subject, in October, once more enlisted, this time in Co. "A," 129th O. V. I., a regiment which was part of Burnsides corps and whose first engagement was at Cumberland Gap, Tenn. His term of service expiring March I8, 1864. Mr. Shaffer again enlisted, Co., "A,"’ of the 38th O. V. I., enrolling him as a private soldier. He served in the snpply department of Sherman’s army in the Atlanta campaign until the fall of that city, and then joining ilie victorious legions of that general, made the march to the sea, and up to the scene of the final surrender. With his battle-scarred companions. he participated in that Grand Review which has never ceased to he the subject of pen and story, and then took part in that other sublime spectacle which has heen the wonder of the ages–the peaceful disintegration of a victorious army and its quiet return to civic life.
A farmer for three years, a section foreman on a railroad for four, a husbandman on his own land for seven more, all in Ohio, brought our subject to 1879. the date of his coming to Montgomery county. He bought land near Elk City and engaged in farming until 1892, when he removed to town and entered upon the business he now conducts. During his residence in the county, Mr. Shaffer has been zealous in forwarding its interests, serving in different offices of trust in his school district, and since his residence in town has been continuously a meumber of the common council. He and his family are active workers in the Christian church, of which he is an Elder. Fraternally he attiliates with the Masonic order, and is a prominent member of the G. A. R., of the local post of which organization he has been Commander continuously for nine years. Politically, he supports the policies of the Republican party.
Noting family history briefly. Mr. Shaffer is a son of William H., and Ann McNeal Shaffer, natives of the Keystone State. After their marriage they moved to Ohio, settling in Athens county, where the father passed the renuiinder of his life. He was a farmer and occupied a leading position in the community. He died August 7, 1866. He was a member of the Missionary Baptist church; the wife is a member of the Christian church and now resides in Elk City, a much venerated and loved woman, at the advanced age of eigbtv vears.
The family is as follows: Our subject," R. M.; David W., of Salem, Ohio: .Martha J., Mrs. William P. Herrv, of Lamj.asas. Texas; John H.,of Elk Cilv; Asbnrv H.. of Marseilles. HI.; Pox (Vlenda. of Elk Citv; Ami C. of Chauncey. O. ; Andrew M.. of Oakland, Ill.; Ceorge W., of Brushy Fork, Ill.
On the 20th of May, 1866, Mr. Shaffer was joined in marriage with Miss Mary L., a daughter of Wm. H. and Elizabeth (Roach) Powell, of Morgan county, Ohio. Mrs. Shaffer’s father was killed at the battle of the Wilderness, the mother dying in 1856. There were two children besides R. M.: Riley E., of Chauncey, Ohio, and Maxwell G., of Burton, Ks. To the marriage of our subject have been born: Azra W., a minister and singing evangelist of the Christian church; Charles B., deceased; Flora M., deceased; Lizzie, deceased; Ollie I., Mrs. Ora Fitzgerald, of Elk City; Mamie M., Mrs. C. D. Close, of Neal Kan.; Nannie, deceased, and Elza R., of Elk Citv.
