DESCRIPTION:For the 26th year, the Bohemian Grove Action Network along with a wide 
 \ncoalition of peace, justice and environmental groups, will focus 
 attention \non the all male, exclusive BOHEMIAN GROVE's annual summer 
 encampment along \nthe Russian River in Sonoma County. \n\nBohemian Grove 
 is a 2000 acre retreat owned by the Bohemian Club in San \nFrancisco. For 
 over 130 years the elite of the corporate, banking, military \nand 
 political circles have gathered for two weeks in July to ''CREMATE \nDULL 
 CARE,'' watch elaborate plays and listen to the twice daily LAKESIDE 
 \nTALKS. Since 1980 a growing coalition of peace and social justice groups 
 \nhave worked to expose the speakers and subjects of these talks which 
 often \nfeature ex presidents, CEOs of the Fortune 500, generals and 
 admirals and \ntop financial executives such as the head of the World Bank. 
 \n\n''Over the years we have obtained the annual schedules of speakers and 
 we \nhave noticed how the subjects often forewarn of events in our country 
 and \nthe world that play out in the ensuing years,'' said Mary Moore of 
 BGAN. ''For \nexample in 1981 Casper Weinberger (Reagan's Defense 
 Secretary) spoke on \n'REARMING AMERICA' and then we watched as the 
 military buildup of the early \nŒ80s happened. It is a way for the ruling 
 elite to float ideas that affect \nus all without any public scrutiny,'' 
 she said. (See HIGHLIGHTS of Lakeside \nTalks at 
 http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com). \n\nThis year's protest will be on 
 Saturday, July 22, 2006 beginning at 1PM in \nthe main Monte Rio Parking 
 lot in western Sonoma County. Speakers will \ninclude Cora Lee Simmons of 
 Round Valley Indians for Justice, Casimiro \nAlvarez, regional director of 
 the United Farm Workers, and Calvin Gibson and \nGloria LaRiva of the 
 ANSWER coalition. M.C.s will be Kris Welch and Miguel \nMolina of KPFA Free 
 Speech Radio. Native Resistance Drum Group will create \nthe opening 
 ceremony. At 2 PM there will be a march to the gates of Bohemian \nGrove. 
 \n\nAt 4 PM there will be a gathering in the Monte Rio amphitheater on the 
 south \nside of the Russian River. Music and food will be available as well 
 as \nnetworking possibilities for activists from the many issues 
 represented by \nthe protesters and profited from by the Bohemians.
