Mary Moore: Well, forget what other people might tell you. They don’t have underground sex tunnels, they’re not burning babies… It’s all bullshit. The elite of the world are indeed there. The thing we should be concerned about is the lakeside talks. They are public policy talks, where these powerful people discuss and choose policy, but they do so in secrecy, with no public scrutiny. That's what people should be afraid of.

I would go in the early years, from 1980 onwards, but not now. My daughter had a house right at the gate, so we could stay on her private property. That way security couldn't move us on. We set up camp there and wouldn't leave. Fortunately, we got help from sympathetic people to help us get by – to eat, and so on.

Back in the early 80s the public wasn't really aware of government collusion with large corporations. Our main point was to show how overbearing and militant the government had become. Now I feel lots of people are very aware of this. I mean, it's pretty obvious.

I've no desire to go in myself; I'm a woman for a start, so I wouldn't be allowed. You have to be a man, wear khakis, that t-shirt with an alligator on it…What does the alligator mean? Is it some kind of secret symbol?
No, you know, the t-shirts with the alligators on them – the brand that rich men wear to blend in.Oh, yeah. I know the one.
The reason we were lucky with all that is we stayed there 24 hours a day for two weeks. Then, if we were lucky we might get passed a copy of the talk list, the agenda for the meeting. We’d pass that about and distribute it. That’s how we’d know what was actually going on in there. We had proof of it.

I did it for 10-15 years, then Clinton came into power. I'm not a fan of Clinton, but unlike Alex Jones claims, Clinton's not a member, so when he came to power the landscape was changing. We were there protesting right through George Bush Sr. As for the rest of the 90s, I lost interest. I'm 77, I'm tired, I've got other things to do.Why do you think people still get so excited around Bohemian Grove?
It’s just because of the secrecy of it all. The wild rumours that it encourages, which aren’t disproven.But the truth is, the world is bad enough without having to make stuff up. What’s really going on in there is much more boring. The head of the World Bank giving a speech, that kind of stuff… But it’s not good if they’re discussing public policy behind closed doors, with no way of us hearing about it. They’re getting away with murder, literally. There needs to be public scrutiny.
