Description

If you've been reading this series about how George H. W. Bush and his family and associates are at the heart of UFO/UAP issue and helped build the US and Global Power in their image, I appreciate it. This is a saga that goes back more than a century beginning just after the "official" end of slavery around the time of the Industrial Revolution and the modern founding of the United States, I'm learning. Elizondo/Mellon/Grusch/etc. coming forward is a measure to both understand our true history and break past it so that we can move beyond it and say hello to "our friends from out of town" properly.

George H. W. Bush and his family are where we started.

Bush's father Prescott Bush ran the law firm Brown Brothers & Harriman as VP with George Herbert Walker as President. Allen Dulles was eventually lead counsel, and if you've read my prior posts, you'll understand that they were all involved in the Business Plot to try and overthrow FDR and install a fascist leader in 1933 at the same time as Hitler was trying to take power. After that failed, they funded the Nazis and were made rich off of that effort. Then these same folks went on to form the OSS to manage WWII alongside retrieving the Magenta, Italy 1933 crash-retrieval by Mussolini, experimented on by the Nobel Prize winner Marconi and later by the Germans, before the Vatican backchanneled the craft to the US, as stated by David Grusch in his initial interview with Ross Coulthart, his hearing before Congress, and in later interviews.

So let's go back to Prescott Bush.

Per his Wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush

Early life

Prescott Bush was born in Columbus, Ohio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus,_Ohio) on May 15, 1895 to Samuel Prescott Bush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_P._Bush) and Flora Sheldon Bush.[^([3])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush#cite_note-3) Samuel Bush was a railroad middle manager, then a steel company president and, during World War I (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I), a federal government official in charge of coordination of and assistance to major weapons contractors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_contractor).

Bush attended St. George's School (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George%27s_School_(Rhode_Island)) in Middletown (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middletown,_Rhode_Island), Rhode Island (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhode_Island), from 1908 to 1913. In 1913, he enrolled at Yale College (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_College), where his paternal grandfather, Rev. James Smith Bush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Smith_Bush) (class of 1844), and his maternal uncle Robert E. Sheldon Jr. (class of 1904) had matriculated. Three subsequent generations of the Bush family have been Yale alumni.

Prescott Bush was admitted to the Zeta Psi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_Psi) fraternity and Skull and Bones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_Bones) secret society. George H. W. Bush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush) was also a member of the society, as is his son, George W. Bush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush). George H. W. Bush and George Bush were, however, not members of Zeta Psi, and were members, instead, of the Delta Kappa Epsilon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Kappa_Epsilon) fraternity. According to Skull and Bones lore, Prescott Bush was among a group of Bonesmen who dug up and removed the skull of Geronimo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geronimo) from his grave at Fort Sill (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Sill,_Oklahoma), Oklahoma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma), in 1918.[^([4])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush#cite_note-4) According to historian David L. Miller, the Bonesmen probably dug up somebody at Fort Sill, but not Geronimo.

Business Plot and Union Banking Corporation

In July 2007, *Harper's Magazine* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper%27s_Magazine) published an article by Scott Horton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Horton_(attorney)), an American attorney known for his work in human rights law and the law of armed conflict, claiming that Prescott Bush was involved in the 1934 Business Plot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot), a failed plan by some of America's wealthy to trick Retired Marine Corps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps) Major General (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_General_(United_States)) Smedley Butler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler) into helping them overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt).[^([8])](https:/…)

Bush was a founder and one of seven directors (including W. Averell Harriman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Averell_Harriman)) of the Union Banking Corporation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Banking_Corporation) (holding a single share out of 4,000 as a director), an investment bank that operated as a clearing house for many assets and enterprises held by German steel magnate Fritz Thyssen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Thyssen), an early supporter of Adolf Hitler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler) and financier of the Nazi Party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party).[^([10])](https://en.wikipe…) In July 1942, the bank was suspected of holding gold on behalf of Nazi leaders.[^([12])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush#cite_note-12) A subsequent government investigation disproved those allegations but confirmed the Thyssens' control, and in October 1942 the United States seized the bank under the Trading with the Enemy Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trading_with_the_Enemy_Act_1917) and held the assets for the duration of World War II (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II).[^([10])](https://en.wiki…)

Journalist Duncan Campbell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Campbell_(The_Guardian)) pointed out documents showing that Prescott Bush was a director and shareholder of a number of companies involved with Thyssen. Bush was the director of the Union Banking Corporation that "represented Thyssen's US interests", continuing to work for the bank after America's entry into the war.[^([10])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush#cite_note-guardian-10)[^(…)

After George W. Bush left office in early 2009, and on the 100th anniversary of Geronimo's death, a lawsuit was filed regarding Skull and Bones' possession of Geronimo's skull and remains.

Geronimo’s Heirs Sue Secret Yale Society Over His Skull

By James C. McKinley Jr. (https://www.nytimes.com/by/james-c-mckinley-jr)

Feb. 19, 2009

HOUSTON — The descendants of Geronimo have sued Skull and Bones, a secret society at Yale University with ties to the Bush family, charging that its members robbed his grave in 1918 and have kept his skull in a glass case ever since.

The claim is part of a lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington on Tuesday, the 100th anniversary of Geronimo’s death. The Apache warrior’s heirs are seeking to recover all his remains, wherever they may be, and have them transferred to a new grave at the headwaters of the Gila River in New Mexico, where Geronimo was born and wished to be interred.

“I believe strongly from my heart that his spirit was never released,” Geronimo’s great-grandson Harlyn Geronimo, 61, told reporters Tuesday at the National Press Club.

https://preview.redd.it/z903u972o4qd1.png?width=990&format=png&auto=w…

Geronimo died a prisoner of war at Fort Sill, Okla., in 1909. A longstanding tradition among members of Skull and Bones holds that Prescott S. Bush — father of President George Bush and grandfather of President George W. Bush — broke into the grave with some classmates during World War I and made off with the skull, two bones, a bridle and some stirrups, all of which were put on display at the group’s clubhouse in New Haven, known as the Tomb.

The story gained some validity in 2005, when a historian discovered a letter written in 1918 from one Skull and Bones member to another saying the skull had been taken from a grave at Fort Sill along with several pieces of tack for a horse.

Ramsey Clark, a former United States attorney general who is representing Geronimo’s family, acknowledged he had no hard proof that the story was true. Yet he said he hoped the court would clear up the matter.

Tom Conroy, a spokesman for Yale, declined to comment on the lawsuit but was quick to note that the Tomb was not on university property.

Members of the Skull and Bones, who guard their organization’s secrecy, could not be reached for comment. Though the society is not officially affiliated with the university, many of Yale’s most powerful alumni are members, among them both Bush presidents and Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts.

“Of all the items rumored to be in the Skull and Bones’s possession, Geronimo’s skull is one of the more plausible ones,” said Alexandra Robbins, the author of “Secrets of the Tomb” (Little Brown 2002), a book about the society. “There is a skull encased in a glass display when you walk in the door of the Tomb, and they call it Geronimo.”

Some local historians and anthropologists in Oklahoma have cast doubt on the tale, noting that no independent evidence has been found to suggest that Geronimo’s grave was disturbed in 1918. Ten years later, the army covered the grave with concrete and replaced a simple wooden headstone with a stone monument, making it nearly impregnable.

Geronimo, whose given name was Goyathlay, put up fierce resistance to white settlers, fighting the Mexican and United States armies for nearly three decades. He finally surrendered, with only 35 men left, to Gen. Nelson A. Miles on the New Mexico-Arizona border in 1886 and spent the rest of his life in prison, dying of pneumonia.

Not all Apaches want to move his remains to New Mexico. The branch of the tribe that settled at Fort Sill after Geronimo died is fighting to keep the grave where it is.

“There is nothing to be gained by digging up the dead,” said Jeff Houser, the chairman of the Fort Sill Apache Tribe. “It will not repair the damage to the tribe caused by its removal and imprisonment.”

NY Times wasn't the only publication to report this lawsuit.

Whether or not Skull and Bones, lead by Prescott Bush, had actually dug up Geronimo's remains or those of another Native American, the fact that they thought they had and championed it stands regardless. This was a desecration in a long line of colonization and an abject horror by a WASP-y institutional order.

Here's the 1948 Yearbook from when George H. W. Bush graduated, a year after Roswell.

https://fecastleberry.com/the-fec-diaries/skull-bones-1948-yearbook

While browsing The Cary Collection (http://fecastleberry.com/the-fec-diaries/the-cary-collection) last month, we discovered a most curious book in Cary’s voluminous inventory. Simple in appearance, bound in black Moroccan leather with four names stamped in silver leaf across the cover. It is a yearbook of sorts—Thomas William Ludlow Ashley’s Skull and Bones yearbook to be exact. Founded in 1832, the secret society at Yale university in New Haven, Connecticut is infamous for tapping campus leaders and other notable figures for its membership. The family names on the secret society’s roster read like an elite party list—Lord, Whitney, Taft, Jay, Bundy, Rockefeller, Goodyear, Kellogg, Pillsbury, Vanderbilt, Bush and so on. Though Ashley went on to enjoy a longstanding political career in Washington, it is another politician’s membership that shrouds this yearbook with bated breath—a one George Herbert Walker Bush.

Bush men have been Yale men and Bonesmen for generations. Prescott Bush (’17), George H. W. Bush (’48), and George W. Bush (’68) are joined by a proud line stretching from great uncle George Herbert Walker Jr. to uncle Jonathan Bush to cousins George Herbert Walker III and Ray Walker. Upon initiation, Bonesmen are appointed secret names by which fellow members will forever know them. The club often pulls from literature, religion and myth for aliases such as “Thor”, “Baal”, “Hamlet” and “Odin”. “Long Devil” is reserved for the tallest member; “Boaz” for the varsity football captain. George H. W. Bush was given the moniker “Magog.”

As for the number 322 that peppers the book and the society’s stationary, it embodies mythical overtones. One legend has it that 322 stands for “founded in ’32, 2nd corps”, referring to the first Corps in an unknown German university. Others suggest that 322 refers to the death of Demosthenes and that documents in the society hall have purportedly been found dated to “Anno-Demostheni”.

Ashley’s annuary found its way into Cary’s hands through a channel of rare book dealers and Yale alum. Upon graduation from Yale in 1948, he went on to serve thirteen terms in Congress as a U.S. representative of Ohio (D) from 1955 to 1981. Several years ago Ashley’s son contacted Cary about his father’s yearbook, not in an attempt to recover it but more so out of curiosity. Lud Ashley (as he was commonly known) had retired to Leland, Michigan until his recent death this past June. As for his yearbook, it lives on in his memory and is currently available for purchase from The Cary Collection.

The Holocaust and the Bush family fortune

Prescott Bush and the Nazis

In Bush’s case, covering up the historical origins of fascism in Germany serves a particular, indeed personal, function. While the president’s father had dealings with the bin Ladens, his grandfather made a considerable share of the family fortune through his dealings with Nazi Germany. Some have suggested that the Bushes’ assets have their ultimate source, in part, in the exploitation of slave labor at Auschwitz itself.

From the 1920s into the 1940s—after the Second World War had begun—Prescott Bush was a partner and executive in the Brown Brothers Harriman holding company on Wall Street and a director of one of its key financial components, the Union Banking Corporation (UBC).

Together with his father-in-law George Herbert Walker—the current president’s great grandfather—Prescott Bush controlled another asset of the holding company, the Hamburg-Amerika shipping line, which was utilized by the Nazi regime to transport its agents in and out of North America.

Another subsidiary of the Harriman group, Harriman International Co., struck a deal with Hitler’s regime in 1933 to coordinate German exports to the US market.

UBC, meanwhile, managed all of the banking operations outside of Germany for Fritz Thyssen, the German industrial magnate and author of the book I Paid Hitler, in which he acknowledged having financed the Nazi movement from 1923 until its rise to power.

In October 1942, 10 months after it had entered the Second World War, the US government seized UBC and several other companies in which the Harrimans and Prescott Bush had interests. In addition to Bush and Roland Harriman, three Nazi executives were named in the order issued by Washington to take over the bank.

An investigation carried out in 1945 revealed that the bank run by Prescott Bush was linked to the German Steel Trust run by Thyssen and Flick, one of the defendants at Nuremberg. This gigantic industrial firm produced fully half the steel and more than a third of the explosives, not to mention other strategic materials, used by the German military machine during the war years.

On October 28, 1942, the US government confiscated the assets of two firms that served as fronts for the Nazi regime—the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation, both controlled by UBC. A month later, it seized Nazi interests in the Silesian-American Corporation (SAC), directed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law, George Walker.

The seizure order, issued under the Trading with the Enemy Act, described Silesian-American as a “US holding company with German and Polish subsidiaries” that controlled large and valuable coal and zinc mines in Silesia, Poland and Germany. It added that, since September 1939 (when Hitler unleashed the Second World War) these properties had been under the control of the Nazi regime, which had utilized them to further its war effort.

Among SAC’s assets was a steel plant in Poland in the same district as Auschwitz. The plant reportedly used the concentration camp’s inmates as slave labor.

Among those who have investigated the links between the Bushes and the Nazis is John Loftus, a former prosecutor in the Justice Department’s War Crimes Unit, who now heads the Florida Holocaust Museum in Saint Petersburg. Loftus has charged that the Bush family received $1.5 million from its interest in UBC, when the bank was finally liquidated in 1951. “That’s where the Bush family fortune came from: It came from the Third Reich,” Loftus said in a recent speech.

Loftus argues that this money—a substantial sum at that time—included direct profit from the slave labor of those who died at Auschwitz. In an interview with journalist Toby Rogers, the former prosecutor said: “It is bad enough that the Bush family helped raise the money for Thyssen to give Hitler his start in the 1920s, but giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war is treason. The Bush bank helped the Thyssens make the Nazi steel that killed Allied soldiers. As bad as financing the Nazi war machine may seem, aiding and abetting the Holocaust was worse. Thyssen’s coal mines used Jewish slaves as if they were disposable chemicals. There are six million skeletons in the Thyssen family closet, and a myriad of criminal and historical questions to be answered about the Bush family’s complicity.”

Prescott Bush was by no means unique, though his financial connections with the Third Reich were perhaps more intimate than most. Henry Ford was an avowed admirer of Hitler, and together GM and Ford played the predominant role in producing the military trucks that carried German troops across Europe. After the war, both auto companies demanded and received reparations for damage to their German plants caused by allied bombing.

Standard Oil and Chase Bank, both controlled by the Rockefellers, invested heavily in Nazi Germany, as did many of Wall Street’s leading brokerage houses. These business dealings continued after the war had begun, with Standard Oil shipping fuel to the Nazis through Switzerland as late as 1942 and collaborating with I.G. Farben, the firm that manufactured Zyklon B gas for the Nazi death chambers and operated a synthetic rubber plant using slave labor from Auschwitz.

In his book Trading with the Enemy: The Nazi American Money Plot, former New York Times reporter Charles Higham noted that the US government sought to cover up the role played by Prescott Bush and many other leading US financiers and industrialists in supporting Hitler.

Who is Standard Oil who eventually helped fund the Nazis?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil

Standard Oil is the common name for a corporate trust (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_(business)) in the petroleum industry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_industry) that existed from 1882 to 1911. The origins of the trust lay in the operations of the Standard Oil Company (Ohio) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil_of_Ohio), which had been founded in 1870 by John D. Rockefeller (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller). The trust was born on January 2, 1882, when a group of 41 investors signed the Standard Oil Trust Agreement, which pooled their securities of 40 companies into a single holding agency managed by nine trustees.[^([6])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil#cite_note-6) The original trust was valued at $70 million. On March 21, 1892, the Standard Oil Trust was dissolved and its holdings were reorganized into 20 independent companies that formed an unofficial union referred to as "Standard Oil Interests."[^([7])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil#cite_note-7) In 1899, the Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExxonMobil) acquired the shares of the other 19 companies and became the holding company for the trust.[^([8])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil#cite_note-8)

Jersey Standard operated a near monopoly in the American oil industry from 1899 until 1911 and was the largest corporation in the United States. In 1911, the landmark Supreme Court case *Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey v. United States* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil_Co._of_New_Jersey_v._Unite…) found Jersey Standard guilty of anticompetitive practices and ordered it to break up its holdings. The charge against Jersey came about in part as a consequence of the reporting of Ida Tarbell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_Tarbell), who wrote *The History of the Standard Oil Company* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_the_Standard_Oil_Company…) The net value of companies severed from Jersey Standard in 1911 was $375 million, which constituted 57 per cent of Jersey's value. After the dissolution, Jersey Standard became America's second largest corporation after United States Steel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Steel).[^([10])](https://en.wikipe…)

The Standard Oil Company (New Jersey), which was renamed Exxon in 1973 and ExxonMobil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExxonMobil) in 1999, remains the largest public oil company in the world. Many of the companies disassociated from Jersey Standard in 1911 remained powerful businesses through the twentieth century. These included the Standard Oil Company of New York (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobil), Standard Oil Company (Indiana) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoco), Standard Oil Company (California) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_Corporation), Ohio Oil Company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_Oil), Continental Oil Company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conoco), and Atlantic Refining Company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Petroleum).

Who was involved with Standard Oil pre-WWII?

Allen Dulles and George de Mohrenschildt and Prescott Bush.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/360765581_Allen_Dulles_Georg…

https://theintercept.com/2018/12/05/george-h-w-bush-1924-2018-america…

So, it’s George Herbert Walker, you know his wife Dorothy Walker came from wealth, whereas Prescott Bush also came from wealth. This is a family whose income starts to become vast in the late 19th century. It’s through steel and coal. They were hooked up with Standard Oil. Then, by the time you get to the early 20th century, Prescott Bush had become a financier.

So there’s nothing self-made about George Bush Sr. just like there’s nothing self-made about Donald Trump. He’s constantly trading off his family connections and wealth. And one of the really interesting parts — and listeners can find this in a couple of great books like “American Dynasty” by Kevin Phillips or “Family of Secrets” by Russ Baker — is it looks like Bush Sr. by the late 1950s had hooked up with the CIA. And this is the real story that he is someone who is in the spook business and this comes up time and again. And it really reaches its fruition in the 1980s where he is part of this whole vast secret government that’s being run out of the Reagan Administration and engaging in just all these heinous policies that are completely being kept from the public and are violating all sorts of U.S. laws. So, his public image is very different from the reality of his political career.

JS: And we’re going to get to those dirty wars of the 1980s and ultimately, the 1991 Gulf War. But before we do that, Arun, Prescott Bush one of the things that we know about him is that when he was a member of the Skull and Bones society at Yale, he snuck onto the Beef Creek Apache Prisoner-of-War Cemetery in 1918. And he was there to desecrate the grave of the indigenous leader and warrior Geronimo. But also he was very close to Nazism and the Nazi ideology and figures who would go on to take over Germany under the reign of Adolf Hitler.

So the Bush family and their associates, again, were made rich by funding the Nazis, playing a part in the OSS and making deals to end WWII while also making plans to recover the Magenta, Italy 1933 UFO/UAP crash-retrieval, and then laying out a Nazi ideology via forming the CIA after Roswell and hiding their crash-recover reverse-engineering program. One massive evil regime running all parts of our government and taking over others.

All in the names of power and greed.

Keeping us on oil and war and the petrodollar and scarcity and povery and racism etc. etc. while living like kings. And who knows what they were doing with their exotic tech beyond selling it to aerospace companies.

One more thing before we close:

Bohemian Grove.

Lots to dig in there, but the whole story of Bohemian Grove is as weird as it gets. Have fun.

But it's also part of this huge political picture.

Current president was introduced to members by his dad in 1995

GUY KOVNER

THE PRESS DEMOCRAT

July 25, 2008

Current president was introduced to members by his dad in 1995

On July 29, 1995, former President George H.W. Bush stood beside a small lake ringed by towering redwoods and spoke to hundreds of wealthy and powerful men at the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio.

Giving the final Lakeside Talk of the two-week summer encampment, Bush, a longtime Bohemian Club member, introduced his son George to the all-male crowd of American business, professional, social and political heavyweights.

"He used the occasion to say that his son George W. Bush would make a great president some day," according to G. Wil-liam Domhoff's chronicle of the Grove, subtitled "The Power Elite at Summer Camp."

Conspiracy theorists would connect the dots between that event on a languid summer afternoon in Sonoma County to the younger Bush's ascension to the White House in 2000.

They would likely have a field day with former President Richard Nixon's assertion, in his own memoirs, that his Lakeside Talk to the Bohemians in 1967 "marked the first milestone on my road to the presidency," which he won the following year.

On top of being the meeting place for discussing future US Presidents, Bohemian Grove is known as the location where the Manhattan Project was discussed. And we all understand full well that the UFO/UAP program was couched within the Manhattan Project secrecy.

https://www.stratfordbeaconherald.com/2016/02/11/bohemian-grove-is-wh…

The international networking among the redwoods comes from the privately owned and generally secretive and controversial Bohemian Grove, a 40-minute drive outside of town. While a drive past the entrance is all I can negotiate, Bohemian Grove has been more welcoming to others, generally people of power including various world leaders, business titans, literary giants and scientists. It’s here the Manhattan Project was discussed with Robert Oppenheimer, which led to the creation of the atomic bomb.

The Bohemian Grove and Other Retreats (https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FC/FC8AEB056C2C32F10A…)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Grove (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Grove)

The Grove is particularly famous for a Manhattan Project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project) planning meeting that took place there in September 1942, which subsequently led to the atomic bomb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon). Those attending this meeting included Ernest Lawrence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Lawrence), J. Robert Oppenheimer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer), the S-1 Executive Committee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-1_Executive_Committee) heads, such as the presidents of Harvard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_University), Yale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_University), and Princeton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princeton_University), along with representatives of Standard Oil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil) and General Electric (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric) as well as various military officials. At the time, Oppenheimer was not an S-1 member, although Lawrence and Oppenheimer hosted the meeting.[^([6])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Grove#cite_note-6) Grove members take particular pride in this event and often relate the story to new attendees.[^([2])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Grove#cite_note-phillips-2)
