The Bohemian Grove, the exclusive all-male retreat nestled in the California redwoods, has long been a subject of fascination and speculation. Its annual “Encampment” gathers the most powerful figures in politics, finance, and industry under a veil of secrecy, bound by the club’s motto, “Weaving Spiders Come Not Here.”
Today, the Bernd Pulch – BOHEMIAN GROVE INDEX PROJECT HUB is taking a significant step in piercing that veil. We are publishing a detailed cross-reference analysis of two major leaked documents that shed new light on the 2023 Midsummer Encampment.
This analysis is made possible by comparing two distinct sources:
- The Original Leak: The “Bohemian Grove Full Member List 2023 Leaked – Original Document,” a raw dataset of names and camp affiliations first published by Bernd Pulch on Telegram on April 22, 2024. The direct link to the original post is: https://t.me/ABOVETOPSECRETXXL/35139
- The Curated List: A list published by investigative journalist Daniel Boguslaw on his Substack, “Deeper States,” in an exclusive report dated February 24, 2026. You can read his initial findings and watch his mini-documentary here: Exclusive: I obtained the attendance list for the Bohemian Grove.
A Tale of Two Lists: Raw Data vs. Curated Index
Our project began with a comprehensive raw data dump. This document, published on Telegram nearly two years before Boguslaw’s report, is an unfiltered extraction of names and their associated “Secret Camp.” It presents the information in the order it was captured, resembling a direct leak of internal records. While extensive, its raw format makes analysis difficult.
Daniel Boguslaw’s subsequent publication provided the perfect complement. His list is a curated, cleaned-up version, organized meticulously by camp name. This structure immediately reveals the social architecture of the Grove, showing who belongs to which exclusive enclave.
Methodology: Building the Index
To create the Bohemian Grove Index, we performed a line-by-line comparison of the two documents. Our goal was to verify the information, identify overlaps, and note discrepancies to build the most accurate public index possible.
We cataloged thousands of entries, noting:
· Confirmed Members: Individuals whose name and camp affiliation appear in both lists.
· Raw Data Exclusives: Names present only in the initial raw data leak (April 22, 2024), suggesting the curated list may have focused on specific camps or individuals.
· Curated List Exclusives: Names present only in Boguslaw’s organized list (February 24, 2026), indicating he may have had access to a different version of the source data or included additional research.
Key Findings from the Cross-Reference
The comparison confirms the authenticity and interconnectedness of the two leaks while highlighting the value of having both a raw source and a curated index.
Confirmed Members of Influence:
The cross-reference validates the presence of numerous high-profile individuals across the political and economic spectrum. Examples of names found in both lists include:
· Lamar Alexander (Hill Billies): Former U.S. Senator.
· Riley P. Bechtel (Mandalay): Chairman of the Bechtel Corporation.
· Peter H. Coors (Midway): Chairman of Molson Coors Brewing Company.
· Donald L. Evans (Lost Angels): Former U.S. Secretary of Commerce.
· Henry A. Kissinger (Mandalay): Former U.S. Secretary of State.
· Charles G. Koch (Midway): Industrialist and billionaire philanthropist.
· Conan O’Brien (Three Threes): Television host and comedian.
· Bruce V. Rauner (Pelican): Former Governor of Illinois.
New Insights from the Combined Data:
By comparing the two lists, we can also identify individuals who are prominent in one document but absent from the other, suggesting different layers of membership or data collection. For instance, the raw data leak includes many names from camps like “Hideaway” and “Sons of Toil,” while Boguslaw’s list uniquely identifies members of more secretive-sounding camps like “Cave Man” and “Green Mask,” including figures like Edwin Meese III (Cave Man) and Mickey Hart (Hill Billies).
The Significance of the BOHEMIAN GROVE INDEX PROJECT HUB
This project is more than just a list of names. It is an ongoing effort to create a searchable, verifiable public resource. By hosting and cross-referencing these documents, we aim to:
- Provide Transparency: Offer the public a clearer view of the networks that shape our world.
- Enable Further Research: Journalists, academics, and citizens can use this index to explore connections between political donors, corporate boards, and government officials.
- Archive Primary Sources: Ensure these significant leaks are preserved and accessible for historical analysis.
We encourage researchers and the public to use this index. The convergence of the raw Telegram leak (April 22, 2024, via t.me/ABOVETOPSECRETXXL/35139) and Daniel Boguslaw’s curated Substack article (February 24, 2026) provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the composition of one of the world’s most elusive private gatherings.
This is a living project. We will continue to update the BOHEMIAN GROVE INDEX as new information comes to light.
