Good show, but despite David's proclamation that his buddy called it much ado about nothing, I'm still not convinced that what goes on at the yearly Bohemian Grove is entirely innocent. Frankly, if you don't like the way things have gone in America since the assassination of JFK, the first place you'll want to look is at the many clandestine power circles out there. The secret meetings that go on in such places as the Bohemian Grove, the Bilderbergs, the Trilateral Commission, the CFR, these so-called "policy-oriented discussion groups". Why is there such little interest in these groups? What are they hiding? Why exactly are they hiding? Why are they so afraid of the media?
Maybe people like David's friend are invited to the Grove, exposed to the lighthearted shit that goes on then sent away declaring the normalcy of the whole thing, essentially used as positive-spin mouthpieces. Now I know that sounds a bit paranoid, but one has to wonder. Maybe some people think games like this is cool for our elected leaders, but not me. Take a look. Is this a respectable way for world leaders to act?

And yes, the concept of the "Cremation of Care" is exactly what your cynical side thinks it is: It's a way for all the big boys to get together and rid themselves of the guilt involved in making the decisions and taking the actions they do to gain and retain their power. EXAMPLE: You recently attacked and occupied an Arab country and killed 100,000 innocent people. Chill, you can just wash away the stains at the Grove. Burn baby, burn.
Skull and Bones: In the last election two members of the Skull and Bones went head to head, ultimately giving us the wonderful experience of George W. Bush. And some people don't see anything too strange about that. WTF? Even if you had the most rudimentary knowledge of the Skull and Bones you would find that very, very bizarre and somewhat disturbing. The oaths they take in that society are extremely serious. For anyone who wants to learn more, I highly recommend reading "Secrets of the Tomb: Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden Paths of Power" by Alexandra Robbins. And please, do yourself a favor and ignore the shitty review on Amazon. It's bullshit. The book is very good. It's probably some of the Bonesmen giving the bad reviews. As they say, "Yours in Bones". Fuckers.
One other thing: Let's not forget that much of the secrecy in the UFO area follows the same pattern of deception as one finds in the secret societies. There's clearly a pattern here.
As far as the A. J. Gevaerd half of the show, great stuff there. I'm very, very interested in the Varginha Case and I hope you can get him back to ask more questions on that. He strikes me as an interesting guy, and I'd like to hear more about his involvement in the case. A couple of aspects of the sighting really stand out. First, the fact that they were able to get on site so quickly after the initial events of the sighting is incredible serendipitous. With the activities so fresh, it must have given the investigators a particularly lucid set of witnesses to deal with. Secondly, it is fascinating that there are so many types of witnesses, and such a high number in a small city. Many of the witnesses are military, and a military cop even died after holding one of the injured beings. That is weird.
I'll have to check out his book on the event. In the meantime, here's an interesting page on the case:
