The Bohemian Grove

Cold War Gothic II

Weston Ochse

SAN FRANCISCO

JULY 9, 1970

Afternoon

I probably wouldn’t have become this involved had they not told me to stop working on the case. Never before had I been limited in my goal to protect American secrets from foreign hands. Yet here it was, an official letter signed by the Deputy Secretary of the Air Force, telling me in no uncertain terms that I was to cease my investigation on The Bohemian Grove. It was stamped, hand signed, and about as official a directive as I’ve ever received, but the problem was it ignored the facts.

Facts such as:

The Bohemian Grove has been a meeting place of America’s most prominent men since 1872.

No one who isn’t invited is allowed anywhere near The Bohemian Grove.

The Manhattan Project was secretly planned at The Bohemian Grove by Doctors Lawrence and Oppenheimer, along with members of government and the heads of major corporations.

A ceremony known as the Cremation of Care is performed every year as a mock child sacrifice to the Canaanite god Moloch.

And Special Unit 77 recently traced a link from a known Stasi front in Paris to an unknown catering business in the town of Monte Rio, California, which is the nearest town to The Bohemian Grove.

I had little doubt that the East German Ministry of State Security, or Stasi as it was better known, had an agent working against the men in The Bohemian Grove, especially since The Grove’s annual meeting was in two days. If I was to follow the directive, it would allow an East German agent access to some of America’s best kept secrets. If I was to ignore it, I might be able to stop something terrible from happening.

The bottom line was that I needed more information before I could decide which track to take, which was why me and Gomer Pyle (aka Jimmy Chan) were standing at the counter of a botanica in the Mission District of San Francisco. Gunnery Sergeant Chan was the Marine Corps replacement for Chiaka Chiba, who we’d lost almost a year ago last July. On the surface it might seem strange for them to replace one Asian-American Gunnery Sergeant with another, but that was by design. The large Asian population in San Francisco required someone who could not only blend in, but operate more freely.

It took a few minutes of convincing that we meant no harm. Two non-Hispanics dressed in black suits, white shirts, black ties was usually bad news in this neighborhood. Eventually I was able to get a name and address. Four blocks later, we stood at the front door of a squat white stucco pushed towards the back of a dusty lot. Deep red Bougainvillea surrounded the front door like a toxicodendron guard. We knocked and after a few moments, were ushered inside by a plain young Hispanic woman, her hands covered with flour, an apron at her waist. An older woman hummed from a chair deep in the shadows of a corner as she watched a telenovela on the television with the sound off.
