Alex Jones: The Order of Death

In this classic of contemporary conspiracy theory culture, conservative radio host Alex Jones "infiltrates" the Bohemian Grove in Northern California, where world elites gather midsummer to discuss policy matters in secret.

  1. I find the events depicted in The Order of Death to be exaggerated and over the top. I don’t believe that the elite people in attendance actually practice satanic rituals. I believe that the events depicted throughout Alex Jones film to be misleading and not trust worthy. I do believe that the elite people who go to the Bohemian Grove could better spend their time and money elsewhere. I am sure it is not cheap to stay there for a weekend and all the money spent could be put to better use. That affects my opinion on politics more than the information being portrayed in the movie. Alex didn’t capture any clear evidence of the events taking place or the people in attendance. His lack of trustworthy evidence results in having to gain footage that, to me, seems to have been made up. The “costumes” he found at the Grove could’ve been from anywhere and for anything and there is a good chance he may not have found the costumes at the Grove at all. He needed actual clear footage to make a film which may have led him to shoot false images in order to try and create a more believable movie. A combination of bad filming and Alex’s sarcastic narration creates an unappealing and untrustworthy film.

  2. After watching this documentary - if you can call this poorly executed and one sided video one - I have decided for sure that I am not on the same page as Alex Jones. Jones comes across as a very egotistical, all-knowing bigot who has devoted his life to disrespecting the life choices and privacy of others, taking great pride in his actions. In this world, there are conspiracy theorists, and there are folks like Jones.
    Upon further research about Bohemian Grove, I have come to learn that their symbol, the owl, symbolizes wisdom and knowledge, which was their key intent. These members, the rich elitists - which, yes, still exist in this day and age - are often also the most educated members of society. They are senators, councilmen, some presidents, CEOs of oil and gas companies. These individuals have devoted their time and efforts into driving the economy of the USA and providing others with jobs and careers, and do not deserve the disrespect they are getting. What they do in their private time on private property is their business, and not to be questioned.
    In any of Jones' videos, I have yet to see any of these elitists ask him or argue with him over what he does with his spare time. Why does one man and his band of videographers insist on playing superman to millions of people who are content with the way that their government is being run? As a self-professed paleoconservative, Alex Jones naturally shies away and quivers at the thought of political involvement in society. Naturally, he would trespass into a private venue, film the event, and produce a sarcastic and shaming "documentary".
    To touch on what Kelsey said, I agree that the time and energy of these men could likely be spent in different ways, perhaps better ways. This is not to say that the hardest working members of society deserve to get away with friends and just relax for a week or so.
    This being said, I do believe that if there was nobody to go into these strange situations and ask questions, the possibilities and theories that somebody is trying to "dupe" us would never be revealed or at least explored, and perhaps we would all fall under a spell of hopelessness to our government. However, when all of the points that Alex Jones makes are rooted in anger and aggression, it is hard to tell the difference between well thought out and developed theories and fleeting opinions. He shows one side of the argument, likely stages a few scenes here and there, and breaks boundaries in privacy, "answering questions" that only few like him are asking.

  3. This video has a very strong accusatory tone towards those in attendance at the Bohemian Grove. The cremation of care thing is a very strange ritual, and I can see how it can be connected to some satanic practices. However the one sided perspective of the video does not allow for much of a justification from the part of the people in attendance. One should not make a decision until seeing both sides of the event. As people clime up in this world, it becomes more difficult for them get some spare time for themselves, away from the eyes of the public. This could very well be that escape for the people in attendance. I do question the logic of continuing to attend after all of the negative publicity that the place has gotten. Many of the facts are shrouded in mystery, as they are in many of these conspiracies, making it difficult to fully support any side. Because this documentary was done with the objective to bring these conspiracies to light it is very one sided. I feel that documentaries should be objective, and show all of the facts available in any situation. While saying that I do realize that much of the content that was presented here would not have made it to a normal documentary, so perhaps it was necessary. Anyways, in conclusion, the cremation thing is weird, but I don't think that the world is run from the woods.

  4. I find this video to have a very one-sided, condescending and accusatory tone to it. It is clearly a video to persuade those into seeing things as Jones does through emotion or targeting those who already have a tendency to see it like this. There was no clear evidence or background knowledge/points to back up Jones' claims. The videos were blurry, or he would just tell you what they are, not saying where it came from or how he knew this. Alex Jones is clearly very passionate about his opinions and beliefs, and some of his points do raise questions (certain ceremonial practices at The Grove) but he lets this passion overcome him in this video making him sound very condescending and biased. I also found that he tended to exaggerate, or it felt like he was exaggerating things. Perhaps this is because this is a very obvious one sided video. This does not allow for reasoning of the aspects in this video. When Jones was told that he was rude and disrespectful during an interview he was conducting, I had to agree. Though, those associated with these societies definitely act secretive and are on the defence when it is brought up. So while Jones does make some good points, it is hard to take this video as a credible source because of the lack of actual evidence, the one-sidedness and the condescending tone to it.

  5. Whether or not Alex Jones is onto something relevant or not, it's difficult to take him seriously given his manic paranoia that something diabolical must be taking place at the Bohemian Grove. His condescending attitude just adds to his unlikeable persona. It's simply too far fetched and comedic to even begin to think that the world elite gather in the woods for satanic rituals. I'm not against people who dedicate their time and resources to try and uncover potential truths where they deem fit, but this video was just too much to comprehend.

  6. This documentary was extremely hard to watch due to the constant cuts between the terrible quality of the ritual and the overzealous Alex Jones scenes. The narration he gives feels overbearing and at times outlandish. The whole documentary gives the sense that I am not receiving the full story. It seems as though Jones is cherry picking his information. The scene that best illustrates this is when he is interviewing David Gergen. The scene starts off at what is presumed to be halfway through an interview when Jones asks Gergen about the Bohemian Grove. The narration that Jones gives after the interview about how Gerger “is behaving strangely” and “acting secretive” is not credible nor should it have ever been a part of the film. Jones even celebrates his ‘win’ after Gerger leaves yet Jones has proven nothing. It seems as though Jones takes the approach of no answer means he is right. Jones spends the entire film talking about the ‘Cremation of Care’ ritual and how it is super secretive, demonic and occult. Even though he goes into such detail about his beliefs on what this strange performance is, he never goes into the historical aspect of the ritual. The fact that it was originally a play created for Bohemian Grove members in the early 1900’s is left completely out for Jones’ theory that the play is based off a Babylonian ceremony. All of his theories are far-fetched and twisted in order to hammer his thought in. He says that his man on the inside said the “most elite encampment is Mandalay” and that no one is even allowed close to the building and that it was heavily guarded. Jones says this as if this means they are doing something they don’t want anyone else to see. But if you really believe in that logic then why is the white house so “overly” protected. The security is there to protect the people inside that may be very powerful, influential and important so of course security will be high. Overall, this documentary feeds off the uneducated crowd that will not second-guess or further research anything that Alex Jones declares.

  7. While watching this documentary film of Alex Jones, The Order of Death, I noticed the extremity of Alex Jones on how he portrays elite people. According to him, elite people practices satanic ritual based on the live event that he videotape inside the bohemian grove. Although the videotape is not very clear and don't give enough evidence to support his theory about elites, he still wants to persuade people to believe on his conspiracy theories. In general, this documentary film is clearly biased and one sided in a way that the narrator only focuses on what he believes and very desperate on finding evidences that can support his claim. Just the idea of Alex Jones as being a conspiracy theorist it came to my mind, before watching the film, that the documentary is not purely trust worthy and it don't give the 100% fact on what really the story behind the elite going to bohemian grove and what they actually do inside. The overall documentary film didn't change my opinion of politics since I'm not a believer of the conspiracy theory about elites doing satanic rituals.

  8. I would like to know more about what happens at the Bohemian Grove, and why is it such a secret? Why are the world’s elite doing these strange rituals? The thing that bothers me is if they are doing satanic practises why? This does not alter my view on politics because there just is not enough proof. How do we know this is not some elite camping trip and they like to play with fire and wear robes away from prying eyes. I am torn on whether or not to believe Alex Jones on what is happening at Bohemian Grove because the video is extremely one-sided. But if this is just a glorified camping trip then why all the secrecy? If it is not true let a few none elites in and let the world see what there up to.

  9. I am not sure what Alex was trying to get at with this video. The footage that was used is extremely grainy and hard to depict what is going on in the ritual. I think that the film lacks and hard evidence to support his belief that what they are doing is wrong. During part of the film he goes in to ancient history, telling us of how ancient cultures had done these same sorts of occult type practises. It is here that I get confused because to me that would be more reason for people to kind of not get upset about it since this type of activity dates back many years before our time. It almost sort of justifies the behaviour. The film did not persuade me to think on way or another based on the fact that there is no concrete evidence depicting what is happening. I do however believe that the money spent by the park and the elites going could be better spent else where.

  11. After watching this documentary I not only feel unconvinced of Alex Jones’ claims, but rather irritated at the entire tone of the film. I’m not sure how any individual would be convinced of Jones’ claims after this desperate display of “documenting”. His entire demeanor is unappealing, as he rages around with his maniacal accusations. I don’t understand this approach to what you could call investigating. Isn’t the point to try and persuade as many people as possible and gain a significant following to make a difference? A theorists’ enemy are the criticisms from realists, who describe them as hysterical, paranoid individuals seeking attention to their delusional versions of the truth. So why not make an attempt to appear grounded and sane, while making these claims? Jones’ hostile attitude and his “no answer proves I’m right” journalism strategy, is so unattractive to the non-skeptic viewer that I’m not sure he could convince them of anything. My advice to Alex Jones is to find a really good publicist who could help him connect with his target audience.

    As for the footage that was shot, I can’t argue that it isn't strange behavior, especially by the elitest of the elite. I find it strange that our world leaders would meet up once a year in a forest to stay up late and sit around a campfire. Why not choose a normal conference venue where they won’t get their suits dirty? This strange behavior should definitely create some questions, and I admire those who are passionate enough to commit time and effort into finding an answer. However, this film did nothing to persuade me of the answers found by Alex jones

  12. After watching the film The Order of Death by Alex Jones what really stuck with me was his obsession with proving that the elite of world were part of this secretive cult that’s been around for years. All of the evidence in this film that Alex Jones provides is unreliable; he is unable to tell you where the evidence comes from in order to protect the individual who gave it to him. As far as any of the viewers are aware, any of the footage could be staged, for example the scene where they see the cloaks that are worn during the rituals. The film acquired from the employee of Bohemia Grove is very questionable. I find it does show you a glimpse of this camp and who is attending, but we may interpret the information completely out of context. An example of this is the still that Alex Jones shows of the sign where George Bush stays. He describes it as a devil, but from my view it’s a very blurry picture and can be interpreted as many different things. I believe that because there is so little information out there about what actually happens in Bohemia Grove, other than the few statements and documents, everyone will interpret things in a different view. Alex Jones interpret all the information he has gathered as a way to prove his conspiracy theory, but because we know so little about what has been going for so many years, our imaginations tend to get the best of us. Alex Jones talks about how secretive this society is and I question how he has obtained all of this evidence. Near the end of the film, Alex Jones runs into David Gergen, who is a member of this camp and he will not share any information about Bohemia Grove. If all of Alex's sources are reluctant to provide information, where is he getting all this evidence from? This film in no way has affected my view on politics. None of the evidence that was shown was sound enough to really make me consider this occult theory. I believe that a lot of the information was paraphrased or information gathered were from different people who aren’t aware of what is going on but are drawn to their own conclusions and ideas.

  13. Alex Jones and his film “The Order of Death” fails to convince viewers in his belief that the world’s elite are part of a secret occult hellbent on constructing a new world order. Jones portrays the events in his film as proof that the world’s leaders in several industries meet once a year at the Bohemian Grove to discuss worldy plans and policies. In actuality however, “The Order of Death” presents grainy footage and unreliable testimony so Jones can jump to conclusions and make the facts fit his own agenda. This film has not affected my views on politics because any evidence exhibited by Jones lacked credibility as well as any clear connection between the ideas he put forth. I believe there is a lot of corruption involved in national and international politics, but I think it is powered by greed and not because they worship the devil. I don’t believe Alex Jones has correctly interpreted the footage he captured at the Grove. I agree that this secret meeting is kind of shady but without any reliable information to back up the claims made by the creators of this film, it fails to eliminate any of the other countless possibilities behind the group’s secrecy.

  14. After watching the documentary The Order of Death, the events shown in the documentary were strangely incorporated in a disorientated fashion. When the documentary started the clips of the Bohemian Grove were low quality and the added pictures didn’t deliver the message accurately. Through the documentary I felt confused with the relevancy of the number of opinions and commentaries being randomly added. For example the part with the protesters who were performing a ritual really didn’t support Alex Jones claims of the Bohemian Grove; it only made look increasingly unbelievable. I understood that Alex Jones wanted to show how elite members of society are meeting up in where they conduct “satanic” activities and are the same people who control our daily lives. Alex Jones further explained that these elite people have been always controlling us through his historic referencing to Ancient Egypt which I found interesting but it was only vaguely introduced. The concept of evil was exemplified in the article quite a bit, so much so that it started to downgrade the documentary as something that wasn’t creditable. The way the film was setup and created made it hard for me to acknowledge or believe any of the points covered throughout the film. The film does not affect my opinion of politics since it didn’t deliver a standpoint that had enough evidence to support its claims. Although there was a video, I felt it was strange since how can an event so secretive be revealed so easily. It also made me question that if the video evidence and his claims were true then how come no extreme attention or questions have been asked about the Bohemian Grove. The film made me question its creditability rather than the logistics of politics. I can’t be sure if Alex Jones correctly interpreted the footage inside the Grove as true or false, since I myself can’t tell what’s happening in the footage. Alex Jones views and beliefs shape his interpretation of the footage and although it wasn’t well exhibited in the video, it’s still a valid opinion.

  15. Throughout “The Order of Death” I found myself rewinding frequently to try and grasp what Alex Jones was arguing. By the time I got through the entire film, I was left feeling confused. What was the documentary even trying to get at? It is hard to say whether Alex Jones has correctly interpreted the footage inside the Grove because it is so blurry. Between the blurry footage and Alex Jones practically forcing his opinion down your throat, it was difficult to form your own opinion. I was not questioning my political beliefs after watching this.

  16. The footage that was used in the video is very unclear. You can’t tell what is actually going on at the grove therefore, I don’t think Alex Jones is correctly interpreting the footage. It is hard to understand what Alex is actually trying to get at in the video. He doesn’t have any hard evidence that the world elite leaders are doing anything wrong. I felt very confused while watching the video and felt that it was very one-sided. Jones is very passionate about his beliefs and uses all and any evidence he can find to back up his belief. That fact that he is so extreme about his beliefs makes me question his credibility.

  17. I honestly couldn't even take this video seriously. He was very condescending and insensitive to all the viewers that could of been potentially watching this video. I felt like the footage was all over the place therefore VERY hard to understand and take this video seriously. It seemed like he was pulling "random evidence" out of anywhere and bringing up big figures that he claims have to do with this ritual just to make his pathetic video seem more legit! His display of "evil" in the video was not believable and the props he was showing could of been from anywhere. Pushing us to believe that these people that follow this "satanic" ritual also makes this video less serious because he is very one sided. There was so little information about the Bohemian Grove and Jones kept reacting the same things over and over. Overall, I was confused about the overall point of the video. I know Jones wants us to see and look into what is corrupting our world, but I think that the "higher power" people are what is corrupting and taking advantage of us... the people who are possessive, not demonic.

  18. I found this film extremely interesting but at the same time i found it very one sided.The film does have some evidence to back up its claims which did surprise me and began to make me second guess myself but i feel that is has some extreme exaggeration behind it, I can believe that this powerful individuals have meetings but the idea of human sacrifice and extreme rituals seems unreasonable to me. I think Alex Jones is quick to point the finger and bases his opinions off extreme allegations instead of reasonable ones and attempts to make the viewer convinced that his allegations are without a doubt the truth.This film is definitely enlightening but it does not change my perspectives on politics.

  19. I have always wondered about the Bohemian Grove meetings, so i found this film to be a good starting point. Although Alex Jones brings forth some extremely interesting details of Bohemian Grove i sometimes wonder about the accuracy of his information, as some of it is presented in an opinionated matter. Jones also cuts away at his own credibility because of his fanatical stance. I, and I'm sure many other viewers, would have responded to his allegations with more of an open mind if the documentary hadn't been so bias. After this video i am convinced of an actual annual meeting of the elite, however i am very skeptical of Jones' radical accusations of cult participation.

  20. After watching this documentary, I don't believe that some of the most powerful men get together just to practice the rituals that the documentary is calming they do. Personal I believe this is a way for them to take some time off from all the pressure and the media. At their age it is probably recommended because stress could be harmful to their health. The evidence provided in the documentary is not enough to convince the audience that these leaders are getting together in a secret place to practice such rituals. In the documentary Alex Jones claims to have an insider who shared a video of what is going on at this secret meeting place, but what’s to say the insider is not one of Alex Jonas men. This documentary is very much one sided which makes it harder for people watching to take Alex jones`s side on the matter. Having said that it is easy to see what drives the men behind the documentary to assume such things. One thing is how these leaders all get together in a secret place. Another point is when being interviewed about what is going on in these secret meetings, the leaders don't answer the question and this makes it seems like they are keeping a secret. My thought on the documentary is that that Alex jones is wrong about what is going on at the secret meetings

  21. Following this documentary, I found that Alex Jones seems to jump to unnecessary conclusions about the 'Bohemian Grove'. I find with events taking place like this, in order to convince your audience about the truth of what is happening, you have to have some sort of ground-breaking, rock solid evidence. I think that people would take this documentary more seriously if he were to be a little more honest with their findings, and to look at it in a more realistic view. He makes rash assumptions that people like George Bush, or people of high authority attend these meetings, and even with video footage, he can't seem to decipher who is there ,and why they are there. I think he comes into these territories with a harsh attitude and a clear assumption of secrecy and the new world order, that he doesn't slow down the actual truth and get to the basis of what is actually happening. I feel as though if he were to make more of an unbiased documentary supporting facts from each sides, it would help the audience have a more clear idea of what's going on without scaring people into believing highly exaggerated assumptions. I'm sure his intentions are good to try and save the world, or provoke our thought into looking deeper into the 'secrets' of the world, but I think he should try a different and more logical approach. - Jordan Walker

  23. This is my second post as my first one just "disappeared" after I hit the publish button.

    Anyways.....

    I can honestly say I have NEVER heard of the Bohemian Grove until I watched this documentary. Truth be told, I find Alex Jones quite annoying. In this documentary, Alex Jones seems to focus quiet of his time on the "Bohemian Grovve", their secretive "satanic" meetings and how they really are a bad influence to society. I do find it strange as to why the Bohemian Grove have secretive meetings and why they do not want the public to know about them or the topics of their discussions. However, Alex Jones' evidence against them and how evil they really are was not really solid. His video was a bit all over the place; therefore, very confusing to understand. He seems to be accusing the Bohemian Grove of certain things but he does not have that physical evidence to prove it

  24. After watching the Order of Death, I wasn’t sure how to react and interpret the information Alex Jones presented in his exposé. Alex Jones all these information towards the audience without backing it up with background knowledge on the subject and frankly, I feel a little lost. The way he presented all these information on his documentary put the participants of the Bohemian Grove in an occult group. By doing so, he demonized them and tried to turn away the viewers’ perception of these politicians and many influential individuals. It is difficult to not side with Alex Jones on this documentary because he presented it as a black and white battle of Good versus Evil. He stated that if we follow these individuals at the Grove and side with their ideals, it is as if we are siding with the devil. During this video, he showed us evidence of these politicians wearing dark robes and ritualistically burning an effigy. He represented these politicians and individuals as an occult group that plans to rule the world in the New World Order. At one point in the video he even connected the Bohemian Grove to Hitler’s regime which made me rethink about these people’s agenda and how these world leaders’ policies affect society. Even though I don’t believe that these powerful presidents, Supreme Court justices, governors and other influential individuals worship the devil, I do however question their participations in the rituals. As Alex Jones question the involvement of the Bilderbergs, Trilateral Commission and other secretive groups in the Bohemian Grove, I too have my own concerns. I detest the fact that as the top world leaders meet in secret, they discuss future policies and agendas that will greatly affect our society and we as their subjects just sit here and wait.

  25. The one thing that really caught me off guard with this short film was how intelligent Mr. Jones seemed to be. While I did not agree with his opinions on most matters he did seem to genuinely understand the subjects of which he was discussing. However I believe he focused far to much upon the ideas of the occult and satanism as compared to the issues and problems that such meetings, such as the meetings of the Bohemian Grove", would cause. I was however genuinely surprised to find out that politicians and powerful members of our current society would perform odd rituals in druidic cloths. If nothing else its simply odd that they would risk such a peculiar secret coming to light even if their practices were completely innocent. However I found that the weakest part of the video was when Mr Jones connected the current politicians and their rituals to Hitler. It is a well known fact that Hitler was a firm believer in many practices of the occult. However to draw parallels between such and evil human being and the current politicians of today based solely on occult rituals is ridiculous. Those points aside it does really bother to think that leaders from all over the world would get together in a non public forum for any reason. Whether the reasons are innocent or not I will say that the idea of the Bohemian Grove gathering does make me uncomfortable.

  26. The events depicted in this documentary of the Bohemian Grove appear to be Satanic inspired & fueled by secrecy. In my opinion only half of that is true. From my point of view I think the worlds top leaders do meet up in secrecy to discuss foreign matters and make decisions. However I don’t entirely believe that they perform Satanic Rituals as Alex Jones portrayed. But I do find the ceremonies that were shown in the video clips as eerie and weird. On the note of politics does this documentary change the way I think about it? It doesn’t because I’ve known about the Bohemian Grove before this class & knew about the eerie details of what went on. I think that when a collective of the most powerful leaders and rich are gathering at one place the public should know. Although Alex Jones sarcastic narration was amusing and funny it didn’t quite sink in as believable or credible. The footage and his narration did seem to be related but from past experiences with his work one must do some extra research to know what’s credible and what is just pure entertainment.

  27. What is the purpose behind the meetings hosted in the Bohemian Grove ? That is the question that I expected to have an answer ( at least to some extent) after watching ‘The Order of Death’, however, it still remains unanswered. This is because of a number of reasons; not only does the lack of organization play a part, but also because of Alex Jones’ unsuccessful attempt to use his interpretations of his findings from the footage of his infiltration, as well as his analyzation of the recordings of the Grove employee to justify his idea that the purpose of the meeting hosted in the campsite is to make political decisions for world domination. In regards to the lack of organization, I couldn’t understand what Alex’s main objective was. For example, in the beginning of the film, he showed footage of the ritual in the Bohemian Grove then he dedicated a good portion of the film to rituals that locals practiced. Was he targeting the elite of the elite who participated in the meetings, the locals who practiced rituals, or just anyone who practiced rituals? The whole film was devoted to not only the ‘Burning of Care’ but also different rituals that people practice so the direction and objective of his documentary was very unclear. Was he just exposing and critiquing rituals itself, regardless of who practiced it or was he trying to prove that the Bohemian Grove is where all political decision making takes place like he mentioned in the beginning? Because as far as I’m concerned, if his objective was related to politics, he should have focussed on the political decision making within the meeting rather than focussing on just the rituals, itself. Alex Jones made a very bias and one-sided documentary. There seems to be a lot of missing information that he did not acknowledge which resulted in a twisted story. I’m not saying that he staged the footage he captured, I just think that it lacks all credibility in relation to politics. I feel like he chooses what information to disclose in attempts to convince the viewer to join his side. I admit that the events that are depicted in the film are peculiar and ghoulish and it does raise a lot of questions such as why is secrecy so crucial and why do people get defensive, but in regards to Alex Jones altering my perception and thoughts towards politics, it had absolutely no impact on me and what I already believed in. I do believe that there is a secret government who have a plot for world domination, but this video did not add any evidence to the views I already have due to the lack of evidence and credibility. Assuming that the footage is real and not staged, I think Alex Jones interpreted it correctly, however I just don’t think he explained the whole story and all of his findings and explained the connection between the ritual and the participants and the effect it has on the world.

  28. I have always been interested in the Bohemian Grove. I find black magic and the occult interesting and really gets the imagination flowing. I also find it funny thinking about a bunch of old people getting together and having a pow wow with some buds while cosplaying. I find it interesting that America is such a homophobic place but their leaders are so homoerotic. One part of the video i found funny was the protest; white magic vs black magic. If the lines they drew on the ground started glowing and the winds would pick up like in the movies than it would be interesting but from what was filmed the protestors just looked like crazy hippies hooting and hollering randomly. I also dont understand why people have such a problem with these world leaders gathering in one place to make decisions. Their going to make these decisions wether its in an office or in front of a giant owl. I hope i get the chance to infiltrate Bohemian grove in the future and see it for myself.
