About two hours north of San Francisco, in the heart of the redwood forests is a 2,700-acre plot of land called the Bohemian Grove. It’s home to an exclusive gentlemen's club called the Bohemian Club. Each July, the club hosts a 17-day event for some of the richest and most influential men in the world. Their purpose is to escape the “frontier culture.” Some allege that sexual activity, human sacrifice, and prostitution rings comprise this jaunt in the woods. The plans for the atom bomb were created here. The club is so hush-hush that little can be definitely said about it. Is it just a getaway for powerful men, or is something more sinister happening? —EMAIL US: [email protected] US A VOICEMAIL: 626-604-6262__JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/VNGJnHr—FOLLOW US: Twitter / Instagram / Reddit / Facebook—JOIN OUR PATREON: HERE—MERCH: https://webcrawlerspod.com—Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/webcrawlers.

The victims fought a difficult uphill battle for justice because the company tried to cover up their deaths by claiming they died from Syphilis, not radiation poisoning. ALSO: Ali got an infrared blanket and wonders if it’s dangerous.
