Bohemian Grove Leaked Attendance List

TheNewAmerican.com | Rebecca Terrell

A leaked membership list from the secretive Bohemian Grove has stirred public interest. It originated from independent journalist Daniel Boguslaw, who obtained a 2023 attendance roster through persistent outreach to a Bay Area club member. Published on his Substack on February 25, the list includes more than 2,200 names and has been confirmed as authentic by a club insider, according to the San Francisco Standard. Boguslaw’s post included a downloadable PDF, [below] sparking widespread media coverage, including a New York Post article highlighting the “who’s who of celebrity elite.” Notable figures on the list include comedian Conan O’Brien, musician Jimmy Buffett (deceased), billionaire Michael Bloomberg, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi (husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi), industrialist Charles Koch, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, actor Clint Eastwood, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and former Secretary of State James A. Baker III.

Some enthusiasts shared a detailed breakdown categorizing names by politics, business, and technology, emphasizing alleged ties to power structures. One researcher built a searchable online database at thebohemiangrove.info, compiling the leaked names with open-source intelligence drawn from SEC filings, OpenSecrets, and LinkedIn. The database includes members’ employers, titles, political donations, and NGO affiliations.

History of Bohemian Grove

Bohemian Grove is a private retreat founded by members of the Bohemian Club, which began in San Francisco in 1872. Intended as a haven for artists, writers, and journalists, one of its founding members was famed author Ambrose Bierce. Mark Twain was an early associate, as was Jack London. The Grove is a rustic campground covering 2,700 acres in Monte Rio, California, owned by the Bohemian Club since 1878. Over the years, the club evolved to include influential figures from politics, business, and technology. Each July, it hosts a two-week event featuring theatrical performances, lectures, and informal gatherings, drawing around 2,500 attendees divided into themed “camps” like “Lost Angels” or “Mandalay.” The event’s signature ritual, the “Cremation of Care,” involves a dramatic ceremony before a 40-foot concrete owl statue, symbolizing the shedding of worldly concerns — often depicted in leaked footage as hooded figures around a bonfire.

Some view the Grove as a harmless networking spot, while others fuel darker narratives. Past infiltrators, such as Alex Jones, who recorded footage in 2000, have long portrayed it as a site of quasi-occult rituals and policy-shaping discussions. The Bohemian Club declined comment about this recent leak.
