A leaked directory has revealed the names of over 2,000 members of the exclusive Bohemian Club, a private organization that holds an annual gathering in the California redwoods. An insider provided details about the club's structure, rules, and activities, pushing back against conspiracy theories while acknowledging the club's elite and powerful membership.

Why it matters

The Bohemian Club has long been the subject of speculation and conspiracy theories due to its secretive nature and high-profile membership, which includes politicians, business leaders, and other influential figures. This leak provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the club and challenges some of the more outlandish claims about its activities.

The details

The leaked directory includes the names of around 2,000 Bohemian Club members and the specific camps they belong to during the annual gathering in Monte Rio, California. An insider revealed that members are invited to join camps by their friends or associates, with camp sizes ranging from just a couple of members to hundreds. The source stated that while the club does attract influential figures, no business is allowed to be conducted on the premises, and members caught doing so would be expelled. The insider also disputed claims of bizarre rituals, stating that the club's activities are more akin to an "overgrown frat party" with music, fellowship, and some "pseudo-pagan" events, but no nudity or human sacrifice.

  • The leaked directory is from the club's 2023 gathering.

What they’re saying

“It is an accurate list but it's just a list of members in the camps to which they belong. This is a list of camp members and is pretty complete as of 2023.”

— Bohemian Club insider (The California Post)

“I think that's fair, but I would say this... you are forbidden to speak about business. Nobody solicits business at the club. You'd be thrown out.”

— Bohemian Club insider (The California Post)

“The reality is it is no different than being in any other club. There's liquor, there's music, there's a fellowship.”

The takeaway

While the Bohemian Club's elite and secretive nature has long fueled conspiracy theories, this insider's account suggests the club's activities are more akin to a private social gathering than a sinister cabal. However, the club's continued exclusion of women and reluctance to disclose its membership roster continue to raise questions about its true purpose and influence.
