Attending the
elusive Bohemian Grove retreat should be a priority for former UK
Prime Minister Tony Blair, News Corp executive Andrew Knight allegedly
writes in an email to US Gen. Colin Powell obtained by RT.

The mysterious
computer hacker known only as Guccifer has once again supplied RT
with a trove of presumed personal emails in which the private correspondence
between some of the world’s most influential men is put under the
looking glass. The hacker’s target is once again former Secretary
of State Colin Powell, and this time the discourse dives into a
topic rarely discussed: the annual summer retreat at California’s
Bohemian Grove.

Guccifer has
previously taken credit for hacking Gen. Powell’s Facebook, compromising
what are believed to be sensitive emails sent to former-President
George W. Bush and even uncovering emails about last year’s Benghazi,
Libya terrorist attack allegedly sent to former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton. In the latest leaked emails sent to RT, Guccifer
showcases a number of emails reportedly sent to Colin Powell’s AOL
account during the last few years.

The few dozen
emails forwarded to RT offer what appears on the surface to be little
insight into Gen. Powell’s personal habits, but one email in particular
referenced enough other well-known individuals that it couldn’t
help but raise a red flag: in correspondence dated March 21, 2012,
Knight asks Gen. Powell to have a few words with Mr. Blair about
preparing for that year’s Bohemian Grove retreat, an annual gathering
of the rich and powerful that has stayed so elusive for decades
that countless documentaries and books have been written about the
event – and journalists like Vanity Fair’s Alex Shoumatoff
has even been arrested trying to infiltrate it.

According to
the Sonoma County Free Press, the membership list of Bohemian Grove
has included every Republican US president since 1923, as well as
titans of the defense sector, banking tycoons and the CEOs of some
of the largest corporations in the world. Spy Magazine linked the
guest list with millionaires and billionaires from the likes of
IBM and Bank of America, as well as leading politicians from Washington
and abroad. And when Spy’s Philip Weiss snuck into the grove in
1989, he confirmed that attendees congregate at a shrine to an owl
described as “40-foot-tall, moss-covered statue of stone and steel.”

Weiss adds
that during the event’s middle weekend – the busiest session
of the two-week gathering – he saw roughly 2,200 guests, all
male, on the camp ground. Just last year, though, Powell was asked
to ensure that Blair made it for that portion of the festivities.

“Might you
be able gently/firmly to point out to Tony that you rank the Bohemia
Middle Weekend in your diary before allowing any other duties to
get in the way?!” writes Knight, a journalist who currently
serves as a director of billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s multinational
News Corp, in the latest leaked emails. “Lack of exposure suggests
that Tony has not yet got his priorities straight.”

Also included
in the email is a PDF attachment – unavailable to RT’s reporters
– said to include a response of sorts from Mr. Blair to George
Shultz, a longtime member of Washington’s elite that worked as secretary
of state underneath US Pres. Ronald Reagan in the late 1980s while
Gen. Powell held the position of national security advisor. In his
own right, Shultz has been associated with the secretive Bohemian
Grove group for decades.

In the leaked
emails, Knight says to Powell, “I’m going to suggest the same to
Henry,” likely implying that the journalist was determined to make
sure Mr. Kissinger – who served as secretary of state under
Pres. Nixon and Ford, and before that was national security advisor
himself – was preparing to attend last year’s event.

Several
sources online tie Powell, Shultz, Knight and Kissinger to Bohemian
Grove, but Blair has only been long rumored to be an attendee at
the annual soiree. In 2006, Blair did visit San Francisco, California
– less than 100 miles away from the Grove’s gated campsite
– where he dined with Shultz.

“There was
speculation that Mr. Blair might even have been a guest at the male-only
event, following in the footsteps of John Major and Prince Philip,”
the UK’s Daily Mail reported at the time. “As it is, the Shultz
party was said to have been littered with guests who had left the
Grove in order to meet Mr. Blair.”

The San Francisco
Chronicle also reported that summer that Prime Minister Blair was
rumored to be attending the festivities, which have long become
a topic of debate and discussion of conspiracy theorists, largely
due to the sheer elusiveness of an event that attracts high-profile
men of power with a strict embargo on admitting the media.

“Less than
a mile from us there are millionaires, billionaires, people who
control the world, control the central banks, build nuclear weapons.
This is their summer playground,” Sonoma State University sociology
professor Peter Phillips told RT in 2011. “We know for sure that
Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan sat down and had conversation about
who was going to run for president when and they made a deal.”
The Washington Post has even
reported that a planning meeting for the Manhattan Project occurred
at the grove in 1942, leading eventually to the creation of the
atom bomb.

Since the list
of attendees is kept under lock and key, only a confirmation from
Powell or Blair themselves could verify whether or not the four
star general did in fact convince the prime minister to attend last
year’s event.

In his email
to RT, Guccifer signed with the signature, “illuminati free world.”
