SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – U.S. retailers could post their 11th consecutive drop in monthly same-store sales this week as cool weather, a weak job market, and a lack of tax-free holidays had shoppers picking through the clearance racks in July instead of buying full-priced back-to-school clothes.

July typically offers retailers a chance to bolster second-quarter profits by selling new autumn merchandise to fashion conscious students, eager to begin piecing together a stylish wardrobe for the first day of school.

But this year, analysts expect that July got little boost from back-to-school sales. Shoppers are showing a reluctance to buy anything at full price, and new fall merchandise arriving in stores is competing with the heavily discounted summer goods that failed to sell well in June.

Local MSM covers upcoming Bohemian Grove retreat, protests, mentions 9/11 truth seeks new investigation.

July 9, 2009

No major complaints on the article from my end. The minor thought is that the Grove’s spokesman, Sam Singer, is allowed the last quote saying, “…this is anything but an elite group.”  I don’t agree to say the least.  I am not the only one apparently. Another article was published on-line the same night by the same paper (Press Democrat).  It covered more of the economic surge for business’s near the Grove. One quote from that article makes it clear this is an elite retreat. “One day a grove member spent $20,000. It’s not unusual for one member to come in and buy in one day what we have sold in a month.”  That is wine they are talking about there boss. -ed

The Bohemian Grove, a redwood-spired sanctuary to powerful men for 120 years, today opens its gates near Monte Rio for its annual, two-week encampment.

The gathering of the all-male Bohemian Club is expected to draw a small group of protesters this weekend when the bulk of the guests are expected to arrive. The encampment lasts through July 26.

The small demonstration contrasts with some of the larger-scale protests of earlier years, usually coinciding with Republican presidential administrations over the past three decades. Every Republican president since Herbert Hoover reportedly has belonged to the 2,500-member club.

Mary Moore, who helped found the Bohemian Grove Action Network in the 1980s, said she is happy that new activists are still trying to draw attention to leaders of government, banking, business and the military who gather in the grove.

Brian From Nor Cal Truth on D’Anne Burley Radio Show to discuss the upcoming Grove retreat.

July 1, 2009

On June 30th, 2009  Brian from Norcaltruth had the pleasure of being interviewed on the D’anne Burley Radio Show. Listen to the broadcast —-  The interview starts at about 7 minutes into the radio show. The discussion is about the upcoming Bohemian Grove retreat and 9/11 mostly. Other than a co-host named John trying to interject Judy Wood as a valuable arguement for 9/11 truthers, the interview was fine.

9/11 Truth at Bohemian Grove July 11th-12th, 2009

June 29, 2009

 

This item has been posted to stay at the top of the blog, please scroll down for current news. Thanks-ed

July 11th and 12th. 10 am to 5 pm. Bohemian Grove.

This years elite retreat at Bohemian Grove is fast approaching. Many of the Grove’s guests will be flying into Santa Rosa Airport on the 10th of July, a Friday. They will travel West towards a small town called Monte Rio via highway 116, or River Road to discuss events and policy in private.

In the spirit of past rallies and protests organized by the Bohemian Grove Action Network, 9/11 Truth will maintain a presence at the Grove. July 11th and 12th will be the main days in focus. This is the first weekend of the retreat and they will be performing their Cremation of Care ceremony. I must mention that while the elite are here meeting privately, our focus is what the elite do outside the Grove.

Anyone who is interested in joining is welcome. The issue at hand is corporate control of us individually and as a Government. Stand with us against policy makers that come to the Grove to escape and meet in private.

Yearly guests to the Grove include: David Rockefeller Sr. and Jr., Henry Kissinger, George H.W. Bush, Paul Pelosi, Colin Powell, Walter Cronkite, Kenneth Starr, James Woolsey, Donald Rumsfeld, Riley Bechtel of Bechtel Corp., and so many more. As you can see the people coming to Sonoma County are from the corporate, banking, military and media complexes.

There is camping available for anyone who might want to stay the night in the lovely and rural town of Monte Rio. Please come along and make your statement with us. The elite who come here come will be hearing lectures and seeing theatre that will relate to the “current social climate” as one guest said to me last year. Let’s make sure they know what the social climate is. We must regain the power of the people and ensure that human rights and justice prevail.
