Alex Jones & Mike Hanson Reminisce On Bohemian Grove Infiltration & Other Topics   7⧸17⧸2013 [H15NwxrM2fg] cover

About this episode

Alex Jones and Mike Hanson reunite to detail their 2000 infiltration of the Bohemian Grove, where they captured the infamous Cremation of Care ritual at the stone owl altar. The duo recounts the logistical hurdles of the operation, including Jones wearing an Eddie Bauer disguise to blend in with the elite attendees and the subsequent sabotage of their video tapes by postal interceptors. They address long-standing skepticism regarding the footage and the legal risks faced by other journalists like Mark Dyson who attempted to expose the secretive encampment.

The conversation expands into a dense history of Texas resistance and military overreach, from the 1966 University of Texas tower shooting involving Charles Whitman to modern Delta Force drills at Fort Sam Houston. Hanson provides eyewitness accounts of the Waco church rebuilding efforts alongside veteran Joe Campana and details the economic transformation of Gonzales due to the Eagle Ford Shale oil boom. The dialogue also covers the aggressive real estate shifts in Austin's Travis Heights, the historical significance of the Come and Take It flag, and the use of code enforcement to pressure elderly residents out of their homes.

Personal reflections anchor the episode as Mike Hanson presents the original preppy shirt used in the Grove infiltration, now destined for a future museum. Alex Jones addresses the bizarre internet theories claiming he is actually the late comedian Bill Hicks or a government plant, while Hanson shares stories of his father’s role as an ambulance driver during the 1966 Austin massacre. The hosts conclude with a tribute to their wives for managing the early dining-room operations of what would eventually become the Infowars media empire.

Infiltration of Bohemian Grove and Preppy Disguises

Alex Jones and Mike Hanson reminisce about sneaking into Bohemian Grove in the late 1990s. Hanson presents the Eddie Bauer shirt Jones wore as a disguise to look like a "billionaire" or "preppy," which Jones jokes should be placed in a future museum.

Waco Church Rebuilding and Memorial Museum

The discussion turns to the aftermath of the Waco siege, specifically the efforts to rebuild the Davidian church and help veteran Joe Campana. Hanson mentions his plan to donate photos and records of the rebuilding process to a new Waco museum located in a remodeled school.

Government Funding Allegations and Bill Hicks Theory

Alex Jones asks Mike Hanson to address conspiracy theories claiming Jones is secretly funded by the government, a Mossad agent, or actually the deceased comedian Bill Hicks.

CHAPTER 15 / 25 Discussion

Security Measures and Secret Service at LBJ Ranch

Mike Hanson compares modern surveillance to the infrared radar systems used at the LBJ Ranch in the 1960s. He suggests that the security technology currently protecting sites like Bohemian Grove is likely far more advanced than what they encountered during their infiltration.

24:30 But it's scary. I mean we could have ended up in jail for a very long time. Well they've arrested everybody else! Oh yeah, why did we make an In-N-Out? Why... I seen you on TV not too long ago trying to get in there again y'all didn't even make it up the hill No, no that's true. I didn't stop. Yeah they all good. I said go Alex go get out of there it was a lot worse the lawyers made them all cut out what really went on. I'd see I signed an honest closure so i can't tell what else happened but you just didn't really see anything Well, yeah because the police got all the footage. I think they probably have sensors and everything else way beyond what they had when we were there well There's no think about it Yeah The place they used a theater to shoot the interviews They had a bartender that was serving us lunch and stuff you know during the taping interviews He goes You know I actually work there hang out with George HW Bush And I don't appreciate what you're saying about them now at what? I'm just saying that weird stuff goes on in here

25:28 And he goes, well I'm not going to call him and tell him you're coming. And I went and told them that guy's ratting us out. They were like no, he wouldn't do that! They were so naive and they were waiting when we got there And so I said, I'm not going in there. I said, I'm gonna come right up to the edge and watch the cops run down and grab them. Then they told me to stop, I was on the waterline! I know state and federal law, I just ran off. Well you know they just recently opened up the LBJ Ranch where you can go into the house and stuff? My daughter just got married out there last month. So we went into the LBJ Ranch. They had this big From the 60s, they had this big radar where infrared were they could see if anybody was coming from. That was back in the 60s Alex so you can imagine what they have now. The Secret Service had it on top of their building and they would look through the whole ranch and see if anything was moving in the dark that was in the 60s

26:23 So you imagine what they have now. Oh, I know i have no idea it was just when I tell people on the you know when people ask me to come on the radio once in a while They'll asked me to come on about the book as I think it was just uh You know God that got us in there because I don't see how else we could have gotten in there and got out Well also We did get questioned by the secret service of the sheriff's time describe what's not on the footage many times It's all in the book See that's why I wanted to write the book because my memory fades. You know, over the years... Yeah you wrote it right a few years after? Well yeah it took three or four years to write the book and put it together and pay people to put it together because you know I don't think I'm qualified to put up a book that size together but

Political Campaigns and Travis County Truancy Issues

Mike Hanson reflects on his past runs for political office in South Austin and his efforts to fight the "police state." He specifically mentions a campaign against aggressive truancy programs where officials would allegedly search homes without warrants if a child missed a single day of school.

Identity Confusion and the Black Alex Jones

Alex Jones addresses claims that he is a "fake" by explaining that there is another famous person named Alex Jones who is a Black Catholic evangelist. He recounts how this led to confusion regarding books written about Catholicism and fueled rumors about his own background.

identity theft· catholic· scholarship· alex jones· evangelist· yearbooks

35:51 We were ordered to do all this by the way. uh, 18 years ago when you started and you are a good person. Oh I know that Mike listen they do that for jealousy but also to change the subject some of its COINTELPRO government cast Sunstein cognitive dissonance stuff but my only issue is knowing me from day one at Access Television when i was in the control room by myself I mean, it's just people are like where did he come from? You know. He just showed up on the scene He was in a cable cast just sitting there but i'm the opposite of coming from nowhere Everybody knows who I am you know they've gone to rockwall bob hooper is his name Oh really, you know bob hooper yeah one had the white he died Yeah, he died around the same time that uh, uh william died oh, he was a nice guy. Yeah, he was from wisconsin No, no, but expanding on that

36:50 He was a boy. They've gone and gotten my high school yearbooks at Anderson and it Rockwell Trying to prove I'm not who I say him And then when they find the proof then they say that person's a fake yeah, which is kind of a nice thing? I can't find my man my but there are annuals or Alex Jones out there They mix you up with some time Oh That's how I got that's how he heard saying I was a Vatican assassin another thing as Catholic see the great people and do it you know Well, just because you go speak at a Catholic school for your sister does not mean that... Yeah. College yeah I mean it's crazy No no but the whole point- well that where she got her scholarship But separate from them saying Catholics are great people The whole point is is that there was a black famous black guy named Alex Jones who some Catholic evangelist And and they get a call They go say you didn't write this book This was about 10 years ago and said I didn't write that book I've written a book about Catholics except if I'm not Catholic

And i'm going look it up It's a black guy like 70 years old and I call the guy up and I go is this a joke He goes no, i'm gonna expose you And that's where that all comes from because there is a black guy named Alex Jones. You were talking the other day on your radio about how things happen to you and they listen to your calls, I think sometimes they even listened to our calls and then they feed our wife bad information and get mad at us. They do that! That happens all of time. The woman calls up and goes hi i'm calling for Alex

Mailing the Bohemian Grove Tapes and Sabotage

Alex Jones and Mike Hanson describe the difficulties they faced in distributing the Bohemian Grove footage. They claim the tapes were repeatedly erased or "wiped" while in the mail, forcing them to use a decoy address to successfully get the footage to a production company in Los Angeles.

38:16 Well, who's this? Oh this is his fiancee. I'm pregnant! Yeah And that's happened a lot you know That's standard procedure But i mean... It don't happen to me.

I didn't get you on here about that. I got you on here about your book Bohemian Grove Cult of Conspiracy Well I think you were right which you've always said stay public That's why you stayed alive so long, because you're public.

38:57 And the first thing you did when we snuck into Bohemia Grove is get that video out to everybody. That's the first thing you did, remember that? But but but remember three times they got into the mail and were erasing the tapes We were sending it out to everybody Absolutely To everybody on the internet and the Internet wasn't like it is now then You know that's 13 years ago But it was good enough to get it out there and you got it out there quick to Everybody and that's why I think they didn't kill you Well, we got death threats over that and three times they copied the tape there. They're expert people camera to camera checked it was good They mailed it a race They said you mind mailing this to world of wonder in LA the production company again make the copy mail they go That's that's though There's that's a blank tape and I said I said root wrong so I sent it again wiped it again And then finally we send it to England wiped again and Then

39:56 I used somebody that worked with us, their address to mail it to a crew member of World Of Wonder and they got it at their house. So they were getting in the mail to get that they were not happy about that It would I'm glad you got it out there when you did because I think they could they could have Wiped us all out before we got out of California, but we got out of there. We went to San Sure sure I mean we didn't put like a two-minute clip up just to show what happened But they did not want the full footage what they don't was the faces yeah?
