Bohemian Club Uses Copyright Strikes to Scrub Ritual Footage
A video uploaded by a citizen journalist, known by the pseudonym “Dancer,” was removed from YouTube after the Bohemian Club issued a copyright strike against the footage, which captured scenes from the secretive Bohemian Grove’s annual ceremony.
Dancer filmed parts of the “Cremation of Care” ceremony, a private event held within the confines of the 2,700-acre retreat in Monte Rio, California. The Bohemian Club, a private club known for its high-profile membership including politicians, business leaders, and artists, asserts strict privacy policies and prohibits any recording devices at the gathering.
Tucked away in the ancient redwood forests of Monte Rio, California, lies a 2,700-acre retreat known as Bohemian Grove. This exclusive enclave hosts a private all-male membership that comprises some of the most influential figures in politics, business, and the arts. Annually, members of the Bohemian Club, which was founded in San Francisco in 1872, gather for a two-week retreat that is both a sanctuary from the public eye and a subject of substantial controversy.
Bohemian Grove continues to be shrouded in mystique and controversy. While members may argue that the retreat serves as a critical decompression chamber away from the limelight, the secrecy surrounding its ritualistic activities fuels ongoing debates about transparency.
Copyright strikes have become a prevalent tool for removing controversial footage from online platforms, a trend that raises significant concerns about the suppression of free speech and transparency.
While these legal mechanisms are designed to protect intellectual property rights, they are increasingly leveraged by corporations, private entities, and even government bodies to censor material deemed sensitive or damaging. This practice not only restricts public access to potentially important information but also stifles discourse and debate, particularly when the content in question involves powerful figures or institutions.
This incident has added fuel to the ongoing controversy surrounding Bohemian Grove, which has been criticized for its secrecy and alleged influence on global affairs. Activists and transparency advocates have long demanded more insight into the club’s annual gatherings, suggesting that the decisions made behind closed doors should be subject to public scrutiny.

Jill Biden Praises Anti-Christian Olympic Ceremony that Mocked the Last Supper: ‘Spectacular!’
PARIS (LifeSiteNews) — First Lady Jill Biden believes the anti-Christian opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics was “spectacular.”
Biden is in France attending the games with a delegation from the U.S. that includes Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, among others.

Biden made her remarks during a brunch in Paris on Monday that was celebrating the upcoming 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
“So, last night, it was just spectacular,” Biden said. “The rain did not dampen our spirits. Every step of the way, I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my god, oh my god. How are we going to top this?’”
This year’s opening ceremony has been rebuked by a growing number of prominent public figures, politicians, and religious leaders, primarily due to its blasphemous depiction of the Last Supper.
“This was disrespectful to Christians,” X CEO Elon Musk said.
This is “seemingly Satanic,” Donald Trump Jr. remarked. “Using the games to push woke ideology has zero to do with anything the games stand for.”
Bishop Joseph Strickland called the event a “new low for our human community.”
The bigotry toward Christians and the blasphemy of Jesus Christ, God’s Divine Son on display at the Olympics is a new low for our human community.

While many other Catholic clergy have rebuked the event and called for boycotts and reparations to be made, Pope Francis has refused to do so thus far.
Biden and her husband Joe have taken many steps to advance left-wing and LGBT causes for many years. In 2008, she joined Michelle Obama in criticizing then-GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, whose wife, Cindy, had said that abortion was not a major issue for voters. Jill Biden said that supporting abortion was something “I think [is] very important, personally.”
In 2012, Biden told students at Colorado College that “we’ve fought so hard for Roe v. Wade, for access to contraception, and equal rights.”

As First Lady, while wearing a rosary, she told students during a trip to Africa in February 2023 to use contraception. On “International Women’s Day” last year, she bestowed an award to a gender-confused Argentinian man, for which she was roundly mocked by social conservatives. At the 2024 State of the Union address, Biden invited a woman who destroyed her preborn daughter who had trisomy 18 in a late-term abortion.
The choreographer of the opening ceremony was Thomas Jolly, a 42-year-old homosexual Jewish man who works in the art industry as an actor and theater director. Pro-homosexual website PinkNews relates that he has “explored LGBTQ+ themes in his stage work.” He claimed that he wanted to make sure “everyone feels represented” in the ceremony.
Biden’s praise for Jolly’s anti-Christian efforts echoes comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron, who also acclaimed Jolly for his “creative genius.”
Olympic organizers have since issued a half-hearted apology for the ceremony, saying they were sorry “if anyone was offended.”

Harley-Davidson Facing Boycott over DEI Pride Events FOR KIDS
Iconic motorcycle brand Harley-Davidson is facing criticism from conservative groups for its promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, including supporting Pride events that target children.
The company, which generates $6 billion annually and is known for its tough, rebellious image, is under fire after critics highlighted its DEI initiativesand urged riders to boycott the brand.
Robby Starbuck, an online influencer, has been very vocal about exposing Harley-Davidson’s support for various progressive causes, including policies on transgender care for children, critical race theory and prioritizing minority groups in business.
This backlash is similar to those faced by other companies, like John Deere and Bud Light, which have been criticized for their support of LGBTQ+ and other progressive causes which harm consumers and turn them away.
(Related: John Deere abandons WOKE DEI corporate policies following backlash from conservative activists.)
Supporters of DEI initiatives argue that they help increase the representation of women and ethnic, sexual and gender minorities in the workplace. However, critics view these efforts as “tokenistic” and believe they disproportionately impact straight White men.
Starbuck, a former House candidate for the Republican primary in Tennessee, expressed his concern, stating that Harley-Davidson seems to have lost touch with its core customer base. He cited several examples of the company’s actions, such as supporting the Democrat-sponsored Equality Act, funding Pride events and requiring employees to undergo LGBTQ+ ally training, among others.
According to Starbuck, Harley-Davidson’s CEO Jochen Zeitz has pushed the company towards a more progressive stance, including a commitment to DEI policies. These efforts have included forming partnerships with organizations like the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce and the Human Rights Campaign and supporting initiatives like the “United for Equity” program by United Way. The company has also introduced employee resource groups that focus on gender, race and sexual identity.
Starbuck encouraged conservative customers to voice their concerns and consider whether Harley-Davidson’s values align with their own. He suggested that consumers use their purchasing power to support companies that reflect their values and avoid those that promote ideologies they disagree with.
Harley-Davidson has been a symbol of freedom and rebellion for over a century. Known for its iconic motorcycles and the culture of independence it represents, the brand has attracted a diverse group of riders who value the open road and the sense of adventure that comes with it.
Many customers alienated by Harley-Davidson’s new direction
There are mixed reactions to Harley-Davidson’s actions. While some people support the company’s efforts to be more inclusive and diverse, others feel alienated. Social media has played a significant role in spreading both support and criticism, showing how public opinion is divided on this issue.
Harley-Davidson has not publicly responded to criticisms but the controversy reflects a broader trend of conservative-led boycotts against brands that support progressive policies. While some customers may find Harley-Davidson’s DEI efforts uncontroversial, others feel alienated by the company’s direction, The situation highlights the challenges companies face in navigating social and political issues in today’s divided climate.
As Harley-Davidson navigates this controversy, questions remain about how it will balance its traditional image with new social responsibilities. The company is at a crossroads – trying to reconcile differing viewpoints among its customer base. Customers are encouraged to express their opinions respectfully, as their feedback is crucial in shaping the company’s future direction.

Trump Agrees to FBI Interview for Assassination Attempt Probe
Former US President and Republican Party 2024 presidential nominee Donald Trump said he would sit for an interview with the FBI, as part of an investigation into this month’s attempt on his life, the agency announced on Monday.
Trump narrowly avoided death at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month, when he was shot in the ear. One person in the audience was killed, and two more were wounded.
The FBI wants to “get his perspective on what he observed, just like any other witness to the crime,” Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office Kevin Rojek told reporters in a conference call. He explained that this kind of interview is standard practice for a victim of a crime.
More than two weeks following the attempt on Trump, the FBI investigation has yet to establish the shooter’s motive.

The gunman, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired several shots at the Republican presidential nominee as he was mid-speech at an open-air campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, grazing Trump’s ear.
“While the FBI investigation may not yet have determined a motive, we believe the subject made significant efforts to conceal his activities,”Rojek said. The agency believes his actions illustrate “careful planning ahead of the campaign rally,” the FBI official added. He noted Crooks had a small social circle, which “appears to be limited to his immediate family,” and had “few friends and acquaintances throughout his life.”

The would-be assassin had used aliases to make purchases related to firearms and explosives, Rojek explained. Earlier this year, Crooks bought “six chemical precursor-related purchases online of materials used to create the explosive devices recovered in the subject’s vehicle and home,” he said.
The failed assassination has spurred widespread criticism and questions about what security measures were put in place before the event.
Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray said the agency will leave “no stone unturned” as it looks into what happened. A day earlier, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned admitting her agency had failed to properly guard the Republican frontrunner.

Australia’s Chief Censor Abandons Neutrality, Accuses Trump of Spreading Online ‘Misinformation’
Julie Inman Grant, Australia’s pro-censorship and anti-privacy“eSafety Commissioner,” has been criticized and accused of abandoning neutrality after she openly criticized former US President Donald Trump, labeling him a prolific source of “misinformation.”
Speaking at the Royal Society of NSW at Sydney’s Government House, Inman Grant, in her official capacity, described Trump’s online behavior as contributing significantly to the spread of false and misleading information.
“During his presidency, Donald Trump not only savagely abused foes online with impunity, but was identified as a major superspreader of mis- and disinformation,” she declared.
However, legal experts and free speech advocates have voiced concerns about the appropriateness of such pointed remarks by a government official tasked with neutral oversight of online safety.
As reported by Sky News, John Storey, Director of Law and Policy at the Institute of Public Affairs, emphasized that neutrality is paramount for public servants, especially for those like Inman Grant, who has significant influence over internet content regulation. “It’s inappropriate for any public servant to be as vocal as she has in being a partisan, in making partisan political comments.”
Inman Grant’s remarks extended to the broader landscape of online censorship. Despite online censorship ramping up to its peak during this period, Grant criticized major social media platforms for not censoring enough during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The unhinged fringe and conspiracy theorists spun mistruths more quickly than the government and journalists could uncover and report the facts and this came from both the right and the left,” she alleged.
Inman Grant has been at the forefront of efforts to regulate online speech. However, her approach has sparked significant controversy and debates over online censorship and free speech. Recently, her focus has been on forcing platforms like X to take down content.
Despite these efforts, she has faced challenges in court, with some legal actions being dropped due to their implications for global free speech and the complex nature of such enforcement.

US National Debt Tops $35 Trillion
The US has reached “yet another dubious milestone” with its national debt surpassing the mark of $35 trillion, the US House Budget Committee announced on Monday.
The head of the Committee, Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) branded the development an “alarming milestone,” urging more fiscal and spending responsibility to fix the ballooning national-debt growth.
“Today, we grieve yet another dubious milestone in the fiscal decline of the most powerful and prosperous nation in history,”Arrington said in a statement, expressing hopes the Republican Party will be able to somehow alleviate the situation if Donald Trump wins the November election.
I believe Republican leadership in 2025 is our last best hope to restore fiscal responsibility before it’s too late.
The US national debt has skyrocketed in recent years under the leadership of President Joe Biden and his predecessor President Trump, who had repeatedly pledged to reduce it during his 2016 campaign.
When Trump left office, the debt had grown by $8.4 trillion to $27.7 trillion, with over a half of the borrowing related to Covid-related measures. The trend continued under Biden, with the incumbent president now smashing through the $35-trillion mark. While the borrowing rates somewhat slowed during the first half of Biden’s tenure compared to the Trump era, they have now accelerated, with the US adding a further $1 trillion to its debt this year alone.
READ MORE: US warned over ‘chronic fiscal deficit’
According to the House Budget Committee’s calculations, the debt now equates to $104,497 per person, $266,275 per household and an eye watering $483,889 per American child. Over the past 12 months, the debt increased by $2.35 trillion, with the rate of increase equating to $74,401 in new debt per second.
The persistent “misalignment” of US fiscal policy was harshly criticized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) late last month, with the body calling Washington’s budget deficit and debt rates a “growing risk” for the whole global economy.
“Such high deficits and debt create a growing risk to the US and global economy, potentially feeding into higher fiscal financing costs and a growing risk to the smooth rollover of maturing obligations,” the IMF said in a statement, adding that “these chronic fiscal deficits represent a significant and persistent policy misalignment that needs to be urgently addressed.”
