The Little-Known History Of #BohemianGrove, The Summer Camp For The ‘Masters Of The Universe’

By Katie Serena | Edited By Jaclyn Anglis
Published November 28, 2021
Updated February 6, 2022

A private campground in Monte Rio, California, Bohemian Grove hosts an all-male social club of rich and powerful members who want to "misbehave."

The High-Ranking Bohemian Grove Members

"Today, the Bohemian Grove serves as a getaway for members to reconnect with each other and to let loose. The club’s motto is “weaving spiders, come not here,” a line from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It means that members aren’t supposed to work while at Bohemian Grove.

"However, there have been notable exceptions, including planning for the #ManhattanProject in 1942, which led to the creation of the atomic bomb. But considering how many well-known policymakers have been members of the Bohemian Grove club, this isn’t entirely surprising.

"Past members and guests have included #RonaldReagan, #RichardNixon, Karl Rove, Theodore Roosevelt, Walter Cronkite, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Colin Powell, and Nelson #Rockefeller."

Today in Labor History April 20, 1914: National Guards opened fire on a mining camp during a strike in Ludlow, Colorado, killing five miners, two women, and twelve children. By the end of the strike, they had killed more than 75 people. The strike involved 10,000 members of the united Mine Workers of America (UMW), 1,200 of whom had been living in the Ludlow tent colony. Many of the “Guards” were actually goons and vigilantes hired by the Ludlow Mine Field owner, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. During the assault, they opened fire on strikers and their families with machine guns and set fire to the camp.

Mining was (and still is) a dangerous job. At the time, Colorado miners were dying on the job at a rate of more than 7 deaths per 1,000 employees. The working conditions were not only unsafe, but terribly unfair, too. Workers were paid by the ton for coal that they extracted, but weren’t paid for so-called “dead work” like shoring up unstable roofs and tunnels. This system encouraged miners to risk their lives by ignoring safety precautions and preparations so that they would have more time to extract and deliver coal. Miners also lived in “company towns” where the boss not only owned their housing and the stores that supplied their food and clothing, but charged inflated prices for these services. Furthermore, the workers were paid in “scrip,” a currency that was valid only in the company towns. So even if workers had a way to get to another store, they had no money to purchase anything. Therefore, much of what the miners earned went back into the pockets of their bosses.

In the wake of the Ludlow Massacre, bands of armed miners attacked mine guards and anti-union establishments. In nearby Trinidad, they openly distributed arms from the UMWA headquarters. Over the next ten days, miners attacked mines, killing or driving off guards and scabs, and setting building on fire. They also fought sporadic skirmishes with the Colorado National Guard. In June of 1914, a number of anarchists decided to seek revenge on Rockefeller. Alexander Berkman (a former lover, and friend, of Emma Goldman) helped plan the assassination at the New York Ferrer Center. This was also the home to the anarchist Modern School, which Berkman helped create. However, the bomb exploded prematurely, killing three anarchists. These events led to infiltration of the school and center by undercover cops.

With reference to … This Is How Meta AI Staffers Deemed More Than 7 Million Books to Have No “Economic Value” vanityfair.com/news/story/meta (via wandering.shop/@jwilker/114353):

"Robber baron" is a pejorative term used to describe powerful and wealthy American industrialists and financiers during the late 19th century, an era often referred to as the Gilded Age. The term implies social criticism, suggesting these businessmen were unethical, unscrupulous, or ruthless in their practices.

They were accused of amassing their fortunes through exploitative methods, such as monopolizing large industries (often by forming trusts), restricting output to raise prices, exploiting workers through practices like wage slavery, engaging in unethical business dealings, squashing competition, and influencing government officials. The term combines the idea of criminal behavior ("robber") with illegitimate aristocracy ("baron").

Some prominent figures commonly labeled as robber barons include John D. #Rockefeller, Andrew #Carnegie, Cornelius #Vanderbilt, J.P. #Morgan, and Leland #Stanford, among others.

Today in Labor History January 12, 1928: Police raided the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) Halls, in Walsenburg and Trinidad Colorado. They killed two union members in the process. This was near the site of the Ludlow Massacre where, in 1914, National Guards slaughtered 21 people, including two women and eleven children, on behalf of John D. Rockefeller. Conditions were still deplorable, with 12-hour days, 6-day work weeks, and regular fatalities in the mines. The IWW had been leading a miners’ strike in the region since October 18, 1927. Over 8,000 men walked out, shutting down 113 out of 126 mines in the state. Police routinely arrested picketers en masse. They’d move them from jail to jail to make it harder for their lawyers to find them. Sometimes they deported them from the state and threatened to shoot them if they returned. The strike ended in February, with concessions to the workers, but no IWW representation.
