For the last 133 years, the world's wealthiest and most powerful elite gather at the Bohemian Grove in the Redwood forest of Monte Rio, CA where they network, discuss policy, party and perform mock sacrificial rituals. Yet, little people know about this secretive meeting of CEOs and political bigwigs because there is virtually no media coverage of the event. So what is really happening at the Bohemian Grove? RT correspondent Abby Martin sets out to find out for herself.

Hackivists next target, the top secret society where 'rulers of the world' meet every summer

A notorious group of hackers has called for the infiltration of a top secret elite society as it stages its annual gathering in California.

The Bohemian Grove began its two-week gathering in Monte Rio, California, yesterday, with protesters lining the street outside the exclusive 2,700-acre estate.

Bohemian Grove is part of the San Francisco-based male-only Bohemian Club which includes heads of state, leading business magnates and bank executives among its members.

Attack: Hackers group Anonymous has called on people to infiltrate the top secret Bohemian Grove club - where the most powerful men in the world are said to meet annually

Secretive: The elite group meets for two weeks every summer on a sprawling 2,700-acre estate in California



Conspiracy theorists claim the group is behind financial market manipulation, policy-setting, king making and even occult rituals and debauchery.


It has also been claimed that the group is linked to other secret societies such as the Illuminati and the Council of 300.

Hackers collective Anonymous has called for infiltration of the group and occupation of its secret grounds.

Anonymous has been associated with attacking major corporation and connections to the diplomatic cable leak site WikiLeaks, including Mastercard and Visa.

The majority of members of the Bohemian Club are set to arrive on Saturday, and Anonymous is calling for protesters to step up activities around the estate over the weekend.

The group claims to have 'literally explosive' information on Bohemian Grove and plans to leak it along with material from the Metropolitan Police in London.


Among its membership are said to be Google executive chairman Eric Schimdt, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and House Minority Leader Paul Pelosi.


Founded just after the Civil War by Henry Edwards as a private camp for 'bohemians' - artists and writers - to relax.


The club's membership has since evolved to include some of the richest and most powerful men in the U.S. and now numbers more than 2,400.


Among those said to have been members include every Republican president since 1923, cabinet officials, CEOs of major companies, banks and oil company executives.

The retreats are said to have been the location where many future presidents have established their credentials by making important speeches - including Dwight Eisenhower.


The Grove became famous with the revelation that meetings on the Manhattan Project took place there in 1942, which led to the development of the atomic bomb.


According to The New American, Republican president Richard Nixon credited a speech he made by the lake in the estate as the first milestone on his road to the White House.

Think tank: The Bohemian Grove is where one of the meetings for the Manhattan Project is said to have taken place in 1942

In his memoirs, he wrote: 'If I were to choose the speech that gave me the most pleasure and satisfaction in my political career, it would be my Lakeside Speech at the Bohemian Grove in July, 1967.


'Because this speech traditionally was off the record, it received no publicity at the time.


'But in many ways it marked the first milestone on my road to the presidency.'


Protesters have gathered near the entrance to the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio - marking the first demonstration against the summer encampment.


Around 45 people stood on the right shoulder of the road past the 2,700-acre estate along the Russian River.


The protest appears to be related to a YouTube video announcing the launch of 'Operation Bohemian Grove' and calling for people to 'occupy' the intersection of Bohemian Avenue and Railroad Avenue near the venue.


The video, which begins with an air raid siren, said participants should block the entrance until they were moved on by police.


It claims: 'Important political and business deals are discussed and established at the Bohemian Grove, which is a direct violation of law in most concerned countries.'

Ah yes the Grove. This place is kind of an enigma. Why would they do ceremonies that mock a human sacrifice? The power elite of the world value this imagery somehow. What I find interesting is that the exact same thing in a way more in your face manner is practiced at the Burning Man Festival. The Burning man is based on the concept of the Axis Mundi. At the center of the axis they burn an effigy of a man. This is very similar to the Celtic Wicker man in which a human being was placed inside a large wicker effigy and set ablaze.

I angered many Burning Man fans when I wrote an article and made a video on this subject. Many attendees of this event have no idea what it all means. Weird.

Bohemian Grove's location was determined based on an Axis created by California author Joaquin Miller. It is also situated within the astrologically significant portion of Thomas Jefferson's township grid in a similar manner to the city of Indianapolis (Designed by L'Enfant's associate).

From what it seems 'The Ritual' seems to have been ingrained into the human phyche, whether thru religion , monarchy or supporting your local team ..

Its the degree and signicance that goes into the ritual not neccassary the ritual itselfe imo that give it power to participents..

thus the harmless ritual of afternoon tea is in vast contrast to the Aztec sacraficial ceromanies....

I'm not sure where the mock sacifice of a child to Molac comes into it....But it can't be good !!

This weekend will kick off the annual summer getaway for members of The Bohemian Club. The Bohemian Grove was founded in 1872 and it's an annual summer retreat for some of the worlds most powerful and influential people where they engage in a mock human sacrifice to appease the owl god known as Moloch. The idea of sacrificing people (often children) to Moloch goes back thousands of years and can be traced to the ancient Canaanites and Babylonians. The powerful leaders of our day are no different from their forefathers who dabbled with the occult in order to achieve more power, fame and wealth.

Conspiracy theorists believe the Bohemian Grove’s idyllic grounds, in northern
California, are host to right-wing, old-boy machinations about the New World
Order. Honorary member Richard Nixon, meanwhile, called it “the most faggy
goddamned thing you could ever imagine.” For V.F. contributing editor Alex
Shoumatoff, who was arrested for trespassing at last year’s encampment while
investigating the club’s forestry practices, the most suspicious activity that takes
place in the grove is the alleged logging of old-growth redwood trees. But common
to all reports from the two-week-long gathering of the country’s rich and powerful
old guard—members have included every Republican president since Coolidge—is
an account of profuse outdoor urination. With gin fizzes being poured at seven
a.m., so many enlarged prostates, and such majestic natural urinals, who’s
surprised? We present to you a guide to the Bohemian Grove, including a map of
the premises, highlights of the events, and a list of prominent members and regular
guests, from the club’s founding, in 1872, to today.

The last Bohemian Grove encampment took place in July 2008. Here’s an abridged
schedule of events from the club’s program. Who knew the Grovers were so soulful?!

Situated 75 miles north of San Francisco, the Bohemian Grove covers 2,700 acres
of magnificent Douglas firs and redwoods, some over 1,000 years old. As of 2007,
there were 118 camps, distributed around the site’s central feature: a man-made
lake, watched over by a towering Owl Shrine, where the infamous “Cremation of
Care” ceremony is held at the beginning of each encampment. Survey the idyllic
grounds with our map. (Click to enlarge.)

“Come join us as we raise the battle banners in the name of beauty, truth,
peace and fellowship. Oh, Beauty’s Vassals, let us together seek the counsel of the
Great Owl of Bohemia so that we may rediscover the wisdom needed to banish Dull
Care once again!

‘Hail, Fellowship’s Eternal Flame!’”
[Around 9:30 p.m., V.F. reporter Alex Shoumatoff is apprehended.]

Monday, July 14
9:15 p.m.—Campfire Circle—“Sly Fox”
“Come enjoy an evening of laughter as we reprise this Broadway hit
comedy. M*A*S*H creator, Larry Gelbart, provides a laugh around every crooked
corner in this witty look at the workings of greed and lust. Come see why our
jubilant City Club audiences gave this talented cast a ‘Standing O!’”

Wednesday, July 16
9:15 p.m.—Campfire Circle—“Sam Cooke”
“Sam Cooke was one of the founders of Soul Music with 29 top 40 hits
between 1957 and 1965, including ‘You Send Me’, ‘Chain Gang’, and ‘Bring It On
Home To Me’. Join some of Bohemia’s most soulful vocal and instrumental talent as
we celebrate the music of this legendary singer, songwriter, publisher and producer.”

“This is the night that size does matter. Our ‘Little’ show takes over the
BIG stage with BIG acts from Bohemia plus some surprise BIG names and that

[M.C.’d by Christopher Buckley.]

Saturday, July 19
9:15 p.m.—The Low Jinks, at Field Circle—“Easy Going”
“Set in a funeral home during the final days of prohibition, ‘Easy Going’
asks that eternal Bohemian question, ‘What’s the best way to get pickled?’ Will
Prentice Boxem conquer his midlife crisis, derail his shrewish wife Barbara’s political
ambitions, and keep his business from going under? The Shadow knows, but he’s
not telling, so you’re going to have to come to Field Circle and find out for yourself.”

“Bohemian expert fly-casters Ray Lewis and Ralph Osterling will
demonstrate and give tips. Extra rods will be available.”

International Software Corporation.
9:15 p.m.—Jinks Band Concert at Field Circle—“The Jinks Band Has the Blues”
“The mention of the blues generally conjures up images of soulful tunes
about hard times and bad women. However, the blues can also be joyful, and the
idiom is the foundation for an infinite variety of musical styles, including those of
Bop masters Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker and the ‘sheets of sound’ of John
Coltrane. Join conductor, John Capobianco, the Jinks Band and their great vocalists,
Jamie Davis and Tom Liles, as they celebrate the blues.”

“Founded in a Detroit row house named ‘Hitsville USA’, by Berry Gordy,
Motown records created hit after hit after hit. In this show, we have assembled a
band worthy of the Funk Brothers and a list of singers, including some surprise
guests. From the opening piano lick in ‘Money’ to the smooth sax of Jr. Walker
there Ain’t No Mountain High Enough to keep us from bringing you a great show!”

To join the Bohemian Club, you must either be invited by several members, or wait
patiently for decades. And then there’s the $25,000 initiation fee and the hefty
yearly dues. Judging from the roster, which currently numbers about 2,500, it helps
to be patrician, Republican, and white. Grovers have included captains of industry,
politicians, and the occasional artist to keep true to the club’s, well, bohemian

Bohemian Tragedy

Members of the ultra-exclusive Bohemian Club—2,500 of America’s richest, most
conservative men, including Henry Kissinger, George H. W. Bush, and a passel of
Bechtels, Basses, and Rockefellers—are known to urinate freely against the ancient
redwoods that cover their 2,700-acre property. Have they been chopping down the
trees as well? According to one former member turned whistle-blower, the San
Francisco–based society may have logged some of its old-growth forest. Drawing
on his own Ivy League ties, the author investigates, with a daring sortie into the
ceremonial kickoff of the Bohemians’ annual encampment.

Is this really what I want to be doing? Sneaking into the exclusive Bohemian Grove,
on the Saturday night when roughly 2,500 of America’s richest, mostly right-wing
Republicans are kicking off their annual July “encampment”? The members of the
San Francisco–based Bohemian Club are mostly all here, partying boisterously in
this primeval stand of gargantuan redwoods 75 miles north of the city, or will be
during the next 16 days. Over the years all the usual suspects have made
appearances: Rumsfeld, Kissinger, two former C.I.A. directors (including Papa
Bush), the masters of war and the oilgarchs, the Bechtels and the Basses, the
board members of top military contractors—such as Halliburton, Lockheed Martin,
Northrop Grumman, and the Carlyle Group—Rockefellers, Morgans, captains of
industry and C.E.O.’s across the spectrum of American capitalism. The interlocking
corporate web—cemented by prep-school, college, and golf-club affiliations, blood,
marriage, and mutual self-interest—that makes up the American ruling class. Many
of the guys, in other words, who have been running the country into the ground
and ripping us off for decades.

The summer high jinks begin, as they have for more than 100 years, with a
macabre, hokey ceremony—with Druidic, Masonic, Ku Klux Klan, and Aryan forest-
worship overtones—called the Cremation of Care, which is starting in 40 minutes
down by the lake. I squeeze through a hole in a chain-link fence onto the 2,700-
acre property and follow an old overgrown railroad bed. To my left, below a dense
tangle of California bay laurel, big-leaf maple, and understory shrubs, the muddy-
green Russian River is sliding by. I didn’t see any posting on that side of the
property, but I know I am trespassing.

While many in the world see this gathering of the military-industrial high command
as the bad guys—a sort of rogue state operating outside the constraints of
democratic institutions, a favorite watering hole for what Peter Phillips, a Sonoma
State University sociologist who has published extensively on the Bohemian Club,
calls “the global dominance group”—this is not how the members imagine
themselves. They see themselves as the moral underpinnings of America’s
greatness, whose central tenets are the Protestant work ethic: work hard and
prosper and you’ll get into that great club in the sky. The Bohemian Club is like the
Opus Dei of the Protestant American establishment. Very few Jews have made it in,
and even fewer blacks.

The encampment is more of a drunken blowout and an opportunity for bonding
than a serious roundtable like Davos, although there is a series of lakeside talks
that are enlightening about what the government has up its sleeve for the
upcoming year. Kissinger is a perennial favorite. His speech nine years ago, “Do We
Need a Foreign Policy?,” was music to the ears of the Bush administration. In 1942,
Edward Teller is said to have planned the Manhattan Project here. There’s a lot of
dark history in this forest retreat. It’s rumored that during the presidency of Gerald
Ford one Grove employee was a charming, impeccably mannered ex-Nazi, who
used to drive around in a jeep that had the decal—a palm tree with a swastika on
it—of Rommel’s Africa campaign, which he had served in. Ford made him take it off.

The majority of activities take place in the 109-acre main grove, in about 120
separate rustic camps nestled under the biggest, most ancient redwoods on the
property. Each member is assigned to a camp. The fanciest one is Mandalay. Then
Hill Billies. Other camps have names like Derelicts, Five Easy Pieces, Poison Oak,
Rattlers. Herbert Hoover, an enthusiastic Grover, called it “the greatest men’s party
on earth.” Aside from the prostitutes who are rumored to be visited by randy
Grovers at local bars and motels, it’s a guys-only affair, and, historically, there’s
always been talk of buggery in the dappled shadows under the redwoods,
particularly at Highlanders, perhaps simply because members wear kilts and
nothing underneath. Richard Nixon (a member of Cave Man camp), whose 1967
lakeside talk kicked off his successful run for the presidency, was caught on one of
his Oval Office tapes describing the Grove as “the most faggy goddamned thing you
could ever imagine.”

Another hallmark of the encampment is the promiscuous micturition—guys standing
up to the redwoods and relieving themselves everywhere you look. Maybe they’re
trying to symbolically assert their primacy over nature. But the amount of drinking
that goes on, plus the fact that many members are elderly and likely have prostate
problems and can’t make it back to their camp fast enough, also plays a role in
what has become, if not a formal ritual, a group-reinforcing collective activity. It
must be said, to be fair to the old Wasp establishment, that the club has a rich
history full of decent members with refined social graces. Mark Twain and the
acerbic misanthrope Ambrose Bierce were early members. So was the socialist Jack
London, who wrote a clairvoyant novel called Before Adam, about a time when
humanity was ruled by a small group of idiots who were destroying the world.

I am here to investigate reports that the Bohemians have been desecrating their
own bower. That nothing is sacred with these guys anymore. Everything is fair
game. But how could the Bohemian Club, where California’s forest-preservation
movement began, be logging its own land, which includes the largest stand of old-
growth redwoods in Sonoma County? That’s what it did quietly from 1984 to
2005—11 million board feet, roughly 11,000 prime redwoods and Douglas firs. I
imagine they don’t need the money. It costs $25,000 to join the club and $5,000 a
year after that. A 150-foot redwood with a 27-inch D.B.H. (diameter at breast
height) fetches only $850 these days, and a similar-size Douglas fir $450. Critics
say to sacrifice these jewels for such small change is unconscionable. And for the
last three years they have been trying to double the harvest.

To me, redwoods are like whales. At this point, they shouldn’t be harvested under
any circumstances. Virgin, old-growth redwoods are growing on only 4 to 5 percent
of their original range, a 450-mile band along the Pacific coast, from Big Sur to
southern Oregon. They are the tallest and among the most massive (sequoias beat
them there, but they are not as tall) and longest-living organisms on earth. Some
individual trees have been here for 3,000 years.

The family that redwoods belong to, the Taxodiaceae, is 250 million years old. We
humans appeared less than half a million years ago. There were redwoods when
Tyrannosaurus rex was the top dog and everything was gigantic. Sixty million years
ago, there were more than 40 species in the Taxodiaceae, and their forests
blanketed much of the world. Today, only three remain: the coastal redwood; the
sequoia, in the southern Sierra Nevada; and the dawn redwood, in one valley in
China. The biggest redwoods are up in Humboldt County, reaching 375 feet—about
35 stories. In my mind, redwoods are among the planet’s greatest glories, and all
that are left should be protected.

My plan is to take in the Cremation of Care, to get a sense of what the club is all
about, and tomorrow I’ll bushwhack into the forest to see what they have been
doing to it and what they’re planning to do. Maybe after the ceremony, I’ll do some
camp-hopping and try to talk to some members.

The security has been beefed up since 9/11, and the guards reportedly include
retired C.I.A. and F.B.I. agents, practiced at spotting infiltrators. But having grown
up and been educated with the old blue-blooded ruling class, I have the preppy
drawl, and I know the dress code for such occasions: haute rustic. Ecco hiking
shoes, Brooks Brothers khaki pants, a light-green Ralph Lauren Polo golf shirt, a
blue Pebble Beach rain shell, and a blue Tilley’s safari jacket. My hair and beard are
cut short and neatly trimmed. I told my Czech barber in Montreal to make me look
like a Republican. She had no idea what I was talking about, but I could pass for
the brother of H. R. Haldeman.

The Unbohemian

I was alerted to the logging in the Grove by my college classmate, John C. Hooper
(or Jock, as I always called him), who was until a few years ago an enthusiastic,
fourth-generation Bohemian Club member, and is now one of the strongest voices
against the Grove’s forestry practices. Jock is old California money. His mother’s
family had a 2,000-acre ranch an hour north of San Francisco, and his father’s
family had a smaller spread an hour south. The Hoopers came from Maine in the
19th century and prospered, first in the lumber business, then banking.


It goes on.......

Hey people in all the hype about the Dark Knight shootings we are overlooking the fact that the President is going to be in San Francisco while Bohemian Grove is in session. They said this during the coverage of his trip to Aurora to console the relatives of the shooting victims. From the Wall Street Journal:

DNA resonance or cultural magick. . The original wicker man rites where based in druidic practice and had nothing to do with burning humans. Celts and druids aren't necessarily the same genetically.

Those who don't have druidic bloodlines cannot properly perform the wicker man rites (sometimes called broom rites) so the imitation magick folks the ptb, seized on using an actual human to generate energy. So many witches during the burning times were thought to be powerfully endowed that they were sacrificed to capture that power.--the real reason behind the Burning Times. Burning people is believed to chase the spirit out of them so their animation can be captured.

Some power can be raised in mimickry of these rites that were actually quite profound but nothing like what the real deal could perform sans human sacrifice.

They are ingrained on the human psyche until one makes the deliberate intention of removing them. The Wicker man rites are reflected in a ceremony of making straw dollies for St. Brigids day, a rather harmless rite I'd suppose that has little power but was as powerful as the original Wicker Man rites which were a summoning of male energy.

Once it was used to call in now its used to call out.



Ah yes the Grove. This place is kind of an enigma. Why would they do ceremonies that mock a human sacrifice? The power elite of the world value this imagery somehow. What I find interesting is that the exact same thing in a way more in your face manner is practiced at the Burning Man Festival. The Burning man is based on the concept of the Axis Mundi. At the center of the axis they burn an effigy of a man. This is very similar to the Celtic Wicker man in which a human being was placed inside a large wicker effigy and set ablaze.


From what it seems 'The Ritual' seems to have been ingrained into the human phyche, whether thru religion , monarchy or supporting your local team ..

Its the degree and signicance that goes into the ritual not neccassary the ritual itselfe imo that give it power to participents..

thus the harmless ritual of afternoon tea is in vast contrast to the Aztec sacraficial ceromanies....

I'm not sure where the mock sacifice of a child to Molac comes into it....But it can't be good !!

[Cartomancer]

Thanks for the extra insight into the Wicker Man. Is it true that ceremonies with a person in the wicker effigy were burned or is this false? I am only going on some of the things I have read which may not be accurate or as accurate as any other source. I still think its odd that similar rites are practiced at the grove and burning man. There is a big difference between burning an effigy and a real person.

At burning man all the organizers deny that they are creating an axis but they named the central road along the inside of the circular plan of Burning Man the Esplanade. A Latin term for the flat open area associated with an Axis Mundi. The Trans America Pyramid in San Francisco points an azimuth to Burning Man.

I could not find any mainstream or web news updates from
'Rich Camp' 2012 so heres a couple u'tubes...

Quite ammusing presentation by Cindy who hits

Hits the nail on the head. Interesting choice of words. What hits the nail on the head.

Good for her and more power to her.. She understands this whole subterfuge is not dissolved by coddling love and light and positive feelings.

Thinking back on it she's got some staying power, she's didn't give up after she hounded Bush, the Iraq war, but plunged back into the fray.

This I'm sure is how she finds her peace, not by making peace but raising hell.

[9eagle9]

Burning people inside the wicker effigy came later. So you are correct it was conducted with human sacrifice but it was a corruption of a previous tradition that had nothing to do with human sacrifice. If people are mimicking this they would be re-creating or participating in the re-creation of an axis.

See how much good it does to tell anyone what they are really involved in?

Hello,

can someone please explain to me if the HAARP stories are real why the PTB can not wipe away (meaning make them just go and let the PTB enjy the party) those demonstarating people with those frequencies/or make them do something silly/or make them be eaten with fear/or just sing them Alliluyah in front of the cameras.
This question bubbled up in my head while watching all those videos. What is the use of the psychological effects of the HAARP then.

Please clarify.

Thank you,

Nickolai

I don't think they are ready to go that far , even though the mainstream press are not interrested. Alternate news like RT & info wars
would raise the alarm, and since they are not worried about the web yet, why blow their cover on a few noisy activists ....
Plus as far as I know Haarp is not that type of apparatus, its used for lifting the ionosphere
for communications and other nefarious stuff I can't recall at the momment....LOL..

[Nickolai]

Shakey!

OK, Alliluyah indeed would be a bit too much..))
But just to make them bored slowly and go home. Possible! I amean all of them and RT and InfoWar. Boredom=No story!

Nickolai

PS I start to think that all this fuss is what they actually do reaaaly want. To make them oh, so important, mystrerious, strong. Great commercials!

Thats what seems to have happened, since the first couple of days when RT were there, Very little has been posted.
Theres little the activists can do outside other than raise awareness . The mainstream are not covering it so
most people have still not heard of Bohemian Grove . RT & info wars audiance are still web oriantated so still limited
in its reach.

So the Rich and the powerfull in the Political/corporate/Banking & Media world can get away with having their
annual 'JOLLY IN THE WOODS' .....Drinking , plotting . planning. dealing , fornicating, urinating and 'Mock'
Sacrificing their way thru millions of Dollars to satify their egos and the mainstream press can do
nothing as their owners are probably there !!!!

I don't know if Tranceformation of America has been covered in the forum, but the first time I heard of this place was in excerpts from that book. I didn't buy the book, I really didn't want to immerse myself in this horrifying story, but I recall only too well that Bush and Cheney were mentioned by name as taking part in a hunting game where the prey was human, set 'free' in the woods (providing a greater challenge for these elites entertainment, and running for their lives, all good fun eh?

I'm sure in the early days this was the just another gentle men's club that the Brits so love, but as discussed elsewhere, the psychopathic personality often rise to positions of power, boosted by being devoid of conscience or empathy. I don't think any of us here doubt the ruling elite are rotten with psychopaths so the desecration of anything truly sacred like sex or the redwoods are par for the course and the worship of false gods on the menu. I imagine new members are told the cremation of care ritual is a symbolic release of all concerns and stresses of these 'poor' men with the weight of the world on their shoulders, while they have their big, boy scout party.

Of course these are not the ones we want ruling the world, even though they seem to believe their money gives them that right and I'm glad to see the protestors out there just to let them know we're watching, not that they care, in the cocky confidence of the privileged, I hold the vision that the game is almost up.

Meanwhile I ask all willing Avalonians to intend a circle of protection around them, particlularly the courageous woman whistleblower that quietly took it all in while working there. She was clearly afraid, and i do think she took an enormous risk, may she be blessed and all of those suffering unimaginably at the hands of so many fiends in positions of power.

[mountain_jim]

A search for 'tranceformation' will turn up threads where her book has been mentioned or discussed. Brice Taylor same way.

The 'game' of hunting naked human's and then raping them, and Cheney's relishing of it as written of by Cathy, is something I always remember when his evil personage is in the news. I would hope he lives long enough for the disclosure of his true nature to the world, and for some manner of justice for his (and all of their) victims.

[Maia Gabrial]

Nixon sure didn't think highly of the Bohemian Grove. I think I can understand why.... I'm picturing a bunch of butt naked old, flabby guys getting all horny doing their yearly rituals.... Ewwww!
Not a pretty picture....

[math330]

Very surprised to see this story in the Mail - maybe Lord Rothermere wasn't invited to the Grove this year and this is his payback ;)
