Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove

I think Alex Jones should be given a little more respect. He risks his life every single day to try and help expose what seems to be true. After watching many other films based around similar subjects, the facts seem undeniable. His courage in breaking into such a heavily guarded and dangerous place is totally impressive. What you see in the documentary is fitting with everything else that you'll find out if you start to research just a little into these things. Please, look at what's happening. People are waking up and Alex Jones is in no way a fatalist, as someone has said on one of these IMDb reviews. He reminds us what power each and everyone of us has and how much change we can effect.

Oh and just to remind people that Charlie Sheen has now come out (and joined former members of the Bush Administration, the former German defence minister and hundreds of other physicists, engineers, firemen and victims families) and said that he believes that 9/11 needs to be re-investigated and that we all need to look at the facts and see that the official story is just that - a story.

Thank You, JJH

What a horrible piece of sensationalist journalism. While I commend Mr. Jones for his apparently easy 'infiltration' of what should have been a very high security compound, I found his commentary to be utterly conjectural.

What we receive for the price of rental is some shoddy footage of a failed Disneyland attraction, mounds of unsubstantiated speculation, an uncalled for use of the word 'infiltrate, and a few less brain cells. I've heard more compelling conspiracy theories at a local comic book shop.

With such great source material this documentary should have at least left us questioning something more than the director's skill at film making. A truly inept attempt at fear mongering.

Note to program director of Bohemian Grove ceremonies: Mickey Mouse wants his soundtrack back.

Pretty good documentary especially since it is from 2000. Alex gives some good history on it and I love when he shows proof of the existence over time via newspapers and other media writings. So there's no debate about it being real or not. A lot of Republican and democrats attend. Pretty interesting no? Almost like the political parties mean nothing in the end. I wonder if this get together still happens though? I don't hear anything about it anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they have morphed into something else, just the builderberg group. Anyways, the only reason I give it a 9 is due to the quality. He coulda splurged a bit more and got better quality cameras, even back then. Oh well. Still exposes the hypocrisy of the politicians claiming to be "Christians" or "godly" but watching occult stuff and cheering.

Perhaps the most religious zealots, might buy the claim of Satanism and mock human sacrifice, but no one else.

Entertaining and at times embarrassingly poor at others, even the most uneducated will spot the lack of logic and the leaps of abstraction.

Clearly this exclusive club does have distinguished visitors, they openly have a mock ritual, the link of the mock ritual to paganism is tenuous at best and to human sacrifice almost non existent. The ceremony itself had more in common with a modern day theme park than any Pagan rite.

This "documentary" tells us nothing of Paganism, an ancient faith based around nature worship. Instead it attempts to demonise what I imagine is otherwise a very successful business selling expensive "retreats" to the top Men in America.

All it did was to convince me that Alex Jones is a self serving publicist out to make a name for himself by attempting to create stories where clearly there is none. Looking at the credits it appears there was no one other than Alex Jones involved in the film, certainly had there been, they would have pointed out the lack of credibility of his claims and suggested that he not waste his time and ours on the venture.

The film does remind us how individuals can try to distort the truth, it also shows us how easily some people can accept a distorted truth (some people believed the film totally and gave it a 10) Hype and sensationalism are great for fiction, but when we confuse them in news and documentaries it is quite damaging. Good film if only for reminding us to question things more.

I think it's naive to dismiss as trite and innocent the practice of any human sacrifice, even if in symbolic form, but using babies is nothing short of morbid. Many skeptics may not realize how suggestive rituals are at the subconscious level of our brains. If we witnessed children involved in the same behavior I think we'd be concerned. How are adults different in this instance? How do we not judge them as sternly as we would children? Think about it. If we saw a handful of neighborhood kids practicing a ritual at night, before a bonfire, with hoods over their faces, and they were throwing a human doll in the fire, and exclaiming they were sacrificing a human baby, who would not be shocked. Now, in Alex Jones' footage of Bohemian Grove, we see this scene, where grown men hiding their identities beneath hoods, use a baby in symbolical fashion to burn in a blaze. I challenge any expert in the field of psychology to excuse this behavior. To my senses it's repugnant. Subconscious messages need to be better recognized in our society for what they are. In our environment of daily advertising bombardment, our subconscious is targeted. Why? Because "they" know that's where you hit to make the biggest impact. Not to get too tangential, just don't underestimate the intention, and the sardonic nature of this ritual at Bohemian Grove. And while I'm at it, let me thank Alex Jones for risking his neck to expose these people. While some may think Alex looks foolish, I think these people he's exposing look like idiots. And to think many of them are member of our society, in influential positions of power, ruling us. (sick)

BTW, a documentary is a presentation of factual events, regardless of the filmmakers' biases, which is always a factor--even in our daily news broadcasts. (Gee what a concept, preconceived notions.) And fyi, I'm not a religious zealot. I don't adhere to any doctrine, religion or philosophy.
