I see no reason to merge it, in that some might have heard of Bohemian Grove and not of Bohemian Club.

I disagree. The Bohemian Grove is a property owned by the Bohemian Club.

Put some more information in, restored the See also to at least include the RV article, which also has some other groups that are BC spin-offs. Nygdan 1-25-06 I can add one name to the membership list:

Arnold Palmer.

Ok make that two: Richard Farris, former airline and hotel ceo.

[edit] Bohemian Grove Action Network

What is this? How truthful are they? Their website really reads more like a conspiracy theorist site. Kent Wang 22:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


It's 98% bollox.


I agree with Kent Wang. This article lacks objectivity and is replete with spelling and grammatical errors. It needs to be seriously cleaned up with citations. --Nishikata Mama (talk) 13:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge suggestion

I'm just tagging this more for the reason of having it on both articles, as it would seem the logical thing to do based on the discussion here Glen 05:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

What's wrong with being a "Conspiracy Theorist", and what exactly are you defining as a "Conspiracy Theorist"? Is it all people who dare to bring to the surface things of a dark or unfavorable nature? May I remind you that without people who question and suspect, we do not have a functioning democracy.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 161.225.129.111 (talkcontribs) 20 October, 2006.

I'm against merging. I know of the Bohemian Grove summer encampment but did not know these people were also known as Bohemian Club.

I'm also against merging. Someone's distaste for the content or its implications should not be action enough to remove the information so it is more tolerable to this persons ideas.

There is no new info here that is allready at the other article. I vote MERGE. --69.244.153.46 21:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Women Rule

I know a member of the club personally, and thus I'm aware of the club's no-women rule. Women (wives, girlfriends) are only invited once a year - and they're made to clean the place. I think this counts as original research and I'm thus dis-inclined to include it in the main argument - can anyone provide a cite? Sliderman 07:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

This is untrue. The club designates dozens of "ladies'" events where women are invited. There were actually women Bohemian Club members, though the last one was a century ago.

How are you going to get a cite into the silly rules of a private men's club? And why would that be notable?

"West Austin Antenna Farm this antenna farm was built the same direction as it." Shouldn't this be deleted? It appears to be nonsensical. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.251.169.69 (talk) 17:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
