As DCLeaks keep releasing Colin Powell’s private emails, the public keeps getting a taste of what it means to be rich and powerful. In a recent email hack from Powell’s personal gmail account, it was revealed that Powell had just returned from the Bohemian Grove, the famed 2,700-acre campground north of San Francisco “where the rich and powerful go to misbehave” as the Washington Post once described. The Bohemian Grove hosts the annual secretive meeting that takes place for two weeks in July, which serves as a meeting place for prominent businessmen, politicians, oil barons and musicians, where heavy drinking, druid worship and super-secretive talks take place among them.
Referencing his recent escapade to the Grove, Colin Powell sent this email on July 24, 2016 to Canadian politician and lawyer Peter Gordon MacKay:
Peter, I am back from the Bohemian Grove. Surprise, surprise, I sat next
to Stephen Harper a couple of times and had a nice discussion. Grove
attendees know that Trump is a disaster. Most will vote against, but quite
a few will not vote for Hillary and will vote for a third party candidate.
Strange doings down here. Otherwise all is well with the Powells. We’ll
sneak away for a few days in August. Of course I’d love to see you. Let me
know your dates. I told Stephen that you seemed quite content in your new
place in life.
All the best, Colin
Peter Gordon MacKay was a former Canadian Member of Parliament, who also served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Minister of National Defense, and Minister of Foreign Affairs. He referenced, Stephen Harper, who served as Canadian Prime Minister from 2006 to 2015.
In a previous email to MacKay he wrote:
“I am racing out of town to the California Redwoods for the weekend. No phones, email or even Kindles.”
The purpose of this two-week secret society meeting is to “escape the “frontier culture,” or uncivilized interests, of common men”, according to the Washington Post.
Could Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now a part of this?
