“I think she wants to emulate Grace Kelly by moving seamlessly from Hollywood to European royalty.”
Angelina Jolie wants to be a royal. Now, my whole blog is justified! All my work, is not in vain! No one can call me crazy – ever again! I have prepared Angelina’s way. Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, and Grace Kelly have prepared her way. I want to do her portrait. I have found a worthy Muse! I have been set free! My life work can now be completed! Oh how my enemies rejoiced when I suggested Rose Ursula fulfill the dream of Matilda and her son, who built a labyrinth around Fair Rosamond.
“We got him now! He’s done for. We took his daughter and grandson away – and his rosy story! We banned him in Eugene, and made him afraid to walk the streets. Now, if we can get him committed to the Johnson Unit!”
“Her goal now is definitely to hook up with a high-profile politician or a Royal.”
Ursula von der Leyen would have made Trump look even more impotent when it comes to world affairs and fighting ISIS. Is Angelina reading this blog? Trump could not handle the questioning on HARDtalk.
Jolie, 41, thinks her humanitarian work will liken her to Mother Theresa or Princess Diana, according to Halperin’s essay. “She has studied Diana’s life in minute detail and thinks she can carry on her work,” the source told Halperin. “Angelina has become convinced that she can become something like a cross between Princess Diana and Mother Teresa.”
The actress reportedly wants to attain European royalty status, according to the essay. “Her goal now is definitely to hook up with a high-profile politician or a Royal. She thinks she fits Prince Andrew’s profile and I believe he is on her radar,” Halperin wrote. “She has always got what she wants and always moves onwards and upwards, just as she did from [former husbands] Johnny Lee Miller to Billy Bob Thornton to Brad Pitt. Now she thinks she’s outgrown even him. I think she wants to emulate Grace Kelly by moving seamlessly from Hollywood to European royalty.”
Born in Los Angeles, California, Jolie is the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. She is the sister of actor James Haven and niece of singer-songwriter Chip Taylor.[2] Her godparents are actors Jacqueline Bisset and Maximilian Schell.[3] On her father’s side, Jolie is of German and Slovak descent,[4][5] and on her mother’s side, she is of primarily French-Canadian, Dutch, and German ancestry.[4] Like her mother, Jolie has stated that she is part Iroquois,[6] although her only known indigenous ancestors were 17th-century Hurons.[4][7]
The Caine Mutiny (1954) Directed by Edward Dmytryk Shown: Humphrey Bogart
Hillary hit the plunger, and Trump went into his version of the missing strawberrys made famous in the movie ‘The Caine Mutiny’. Donald (an un-elected citizen who never served in the military) was livid over being accused he was FOR Operation Iraqi Freedom. He mixed this with his lack of good temperament excuse. He demanded Neil Cavuoto and Sean Hannity be summoned to the court martial. He took a sip of water seven times, and snorted twelve times. Hillary did not snort once, or take a sip of water. She was a cool customer under fire.
Not so, Captain Trump. Given no signal he was losing on any specific point, he launched a missile strike that let go a thousand cluster bombs. His strange onboard computer told him each little bomb put ten thousand votes in his locker. Up went another missile. Then, he was down in a Nazi tunnel with a shotgun, he thinking this was a Play Station game. Shotgun Mouth now went hunting for Colonel Clink as Hillary gave him a classic Jack Benny smile. The Boy in the room looked scared, and took an urgent drink. He knew he was losing, but, didn’t know why. He snorted real loud as a bead of sweat rolled down his brow. He finally got it, Hillary had been in a real War Room, while he…..has never worn a uniform. When you are President, you got to be FOR war 24-7.
The highlight was the cheering of his fans when Trump struck up a deal with Hillary, that he would not show his tax returns, unless she wants to produce thousands of missing e-mails. Trump exonerated Hillary, and gave himself a Tax Pardon. These luxury items are not available to the rest of the voters.
Yesterday, I could not recall the name Tony Clifton, and the dude who played him, the comic who invented Donald Trump’s style. Trump was Kaufman’s understudy who stole his act after Kaufman’s alleged death. They were a tag-team.
We all promised back when we would never forget Andy. We forgot, because Andy was the Herald of the coming age when we would be doing selfies and texting our family and friends, as if they really gave a shit what the fuck we did at any given moment. We all were from Hollywood in our own freaken way! We spit on people who wanted our autograph, just a minute of our time.
Andy broke the world out of its media cage. We didn’t know if we were coming or going. We could not second- guess Andy. He might do anything, insult anyone, anywhere, at any given time. He became a media bully. He shamelessly wrestled women, called them bloody cunts and did everything he could to humiliate them in front of a camera. He made rules – just for him! He forbid the audience to smoke, and came out blowing smoke in their face.
Andy invented the Male Victim, the Sore Loser, the Big Mouth. Andy won’t be making fun of Arnold Palmer who died today. I can’t say Mr. Trump won’t soil his memory, use his nick name ‘Dumpy’ in some manner in order to make Hillary look like a fat slime-ball. Hillary will do her Phyllis Diller laugh, and try to laugh it all off. Tony Clifton will win the election. He will do his act from the Oval Office, and half the nation will wonder if he is pulling our leg. Insulted World Leaders will storm out of the White House, and with flags flying, speed back to the United Nations. Trump will stand on the temple mount and declare Jerusalem the Capitol of the Hebrew and Christian World.
The Andy Kaufman rip-off will rule the world! He will have black folks rolling in the isles and sending him blessings. President Trump will produce an insulting James Brown impersonator, weighed down with Bling-Bling. He will send him into the ghettos as his Goodwill Ambassador – behind the wheel of a vintage Cadillac. Will Trump wrestle Putin in the ring. Will he wear a neck-brace? Will Donald make America, and wrestling, great again? Tune in next week, and see!
Kaufman was destined for the White House, when Death pinned his sorry ass to the mat.

Dorothy Day lived in Oakland as a child. I can not find out where. This is typical of other famous folks who lived in Oakland, like Gertrude Stein and Jack London. It took some digging. I have devoted thousands of hours to writing this blog, and have not received one red cent. Dorothy got a penny for her Catholic Worker. It is said she was inspired to feed the homeless most of her life because her family tended to the refugees that fled to Oakland after the San Francisco Earthquake. She had read London. Being from Oakland was a compass for her as she developed her Life’s Work.
With the mention 0f Dorothy Day by Pope Francis, all my hard work now has validity, and my isolation and ostracization by friends and family, is over. For twenty-eight years I searched for the historic Jesus, and found him as a Moabite…
There is talk about restoring the German Monarchy which might include the restoration of the Hapsburg Monarchy. Empress Zita had eight children who fled to America. Hitler had put a price on the head of their royal mother. That Ursula Van der Leyen assumed the name Rose Ladson in order to thwart left-wing assassins, is quite profound, for Rose Ursula became the head of the German Army, a role filled by Kings of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Kaiser.
The birthrate in Germany is way down, while 10,000 Syrian refugees come into the ancient Empire – each day! Is Donald Trump referring to this takeover of a caucasian land in regards to saving America from the same fate? Brexit has taken direct action in order to save Britain from being overwhelmed by Muslims, by leaving the European Union. No one dare address this real crisis in a more direct way, lest they appear a White Racist. Allow me! I declared I was the King of California and Oregon. I was not aware of Rose Ladson and her five children that were born in California.
If Donald Trump becomes President, he will destroy what is about to be destroyed. He will hasten the process. White Voters are hysterical. They think they want another Hitler. What they want is the restoration of Monarchies and the founding of a new way to esteem them. Many Americans are saying they will leave the USA is Trump is elected. I see a secession of the States of Washington, Oregon, and California, and the formation of a new nation that will become allied with Mexico, Germany, and the European Union. I invite the descendants of the Forty-Eighters and Turners to form a political party to replace the Republican Party they helped found.
Before I beheld Belle Burch I was looking for a model for my painting of Fair Rosamond, Eleanore of Aquitaine, and Empress Matilda. It astounds me that no real artist has not done a decent portrait of the famous women who did a Crane Dance around Henry FitzEmpress, son of King Henry 1 King of Romans. Here is the real ‘Game of Thrones’ that has been reborn, and is invisible to all those white folks who are glued to their T.V. dreaming about the lusty days of old, Ursula and her brother have fourteen children.
What is now just being addressed, is the alleged racism of white women – who are voting for Trump, and not a woman. This may be an instinctual motivation to gather money and goods in ones own genetic pool. Black women are doing the same. If Hillary becomes President, and Rose Ursula, Chancellor of Germany, then, over night two white women will replace our black President as the most powerful person/people – in the world.
Why didn’t black voters put forth another Presidential candidate – a black woman? Instead, we have Don King standing behind Trump while holy black Christians pour prayers and blessings on him – as if he was their King, their……Emperor! Most of humanity – is confused! But, I am sure those born of royal blood are keeping their eye on the ball, which is…..MAKE MORE ROYAL BABIES!
Rose Ursula was the head of the Germany’s Baby Making Mill and Day Care Center. Below is a article on why women are on the rise. I believe it is because they are hardwired to get along with Other Mothe so as to insure they get corn and acorns in their pinecone baskets while the Extinct Father Hunter, blunderbusts about, shooting at anything that moves, claming he can restore the tribe to greatness, and put meat on the table.
If blubbery Hillary can show that she is a Mean and Lean Gleaner at the debate, she will win! Rose Ursula looks like she could skin a deer – with her teeth!
“Oh! You lost you Man Knife in the Black Forest? Poor deer! Allow me!”
For Christ’s sake, this was a blond-haired California Soccer Mom, who squirted babies out of her tiny body while she went to college. She did her Nazi thing at the swankest shops. She cut in line. She drove her Mercedes around like a Mad Person, making all those appointments, making sure her brood got their wisdom teeth pulled. Of course! Alas! Someone had a bright idea!
“Let us make this California Freulien head of the Military. She will whip those Sloppy Boys into shape, make sure they get up at sunrise, and make their bed!”

The inscription on Matilda’s tomb at Rouen, France, read: “Here lies Henry’s daughter, wife and mother; great by birth, greater by marriage, but greatest in motherhood.”
German prince says his country should copy the UK and reinstate its royal family, which vanished in the chaos after World War One.
Prince Philip Kiril of Prussia, the great-great grandson of the last Kaiser of Germany, believes a return to the monarchy would instil a new pride in Germany.
Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was the last emperor of Germany and nephew of Queen Victoria, was forced to abdicate in 1918.
Now that two of the world’s five biggest economies — Germany and Britain — are headed by women, and the biggest one of all, the U.S., has a woman front-runner in its presidential election, the glass ceiling in politics can probably be declared broken, and it’s time to consider what kind of change this brings to the world.
One in five Germans would like to see the monarchy restored, according to a survey released on Thursday. Young Germans were even keener on replacing the president with a new Kaiser.
With a British jubilee, a Dutch abdication and a Swedish royal birth, European royals have been regularly hitting headlines of late. More than half of the 1,012 Germans asked by polling company YouGov for news agency DPA said they were interested in other countries’ monarchies.
In fact, 19 percent said that they would like to see one of their own be re-instated. Among people aged between 18 and 24 this figure jumped up to more than one in three, while just one in six over-55s were in favour of having a monarchy.
The last German Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, abdicated in 1918 in the wake of World War I. Last year, Prince Philip Kiril of Prussia, the Kaiser’s great-great-grandson, made headlines by suggesting the restoration of the monarchy.
God preserve our Holy Emp’ror,

In Prosperity and State!
May his Laurels ever blooming
Be by Faith and Virtue fed;
May his worth the world illumine
And bring back the Sheep misled!
God preserve our Holy Emp’ror,

All thy bounties, good and gracious,
Pour on him, his house, and realm;
And, in mercy, plots audacious,
With confusion overwhelm.
By thy law may he be guided,
Be thy will done at his word.
In him are our lives confided,
This thy Delegate, O Lord.
God preserve our Holy Emp’ror,
Sov’reign ever good and great.
‘Neath his glorious banners streaming,
May success and plenty grow;
In his councils, brightly beaming,
O may wisdom, prudence flow.
May his hand strike forth like lightning
For the cause of justice true.
Glorious Emp’ror, our hopes bright’ning!
May all yield to him his due.
God preserve our Holy Emp’ror,
Sov’reign ever good and great.
May he see his Empire flourish,
And his people crowned with joy;
Love fraternal may he nourish,
And all seeds of hate destroy.
Should thy Church e’er be imperiled,
May he save her on that day.
Keep him from death, thy dread herald,
May we never cease to pray:
God preserve our Holy Emp’ror,
Sov’reign ever good and great.

Wolfdietrich is the son of Hugdietrich, emperor of Constantinople.

The account of his parents and their wooing, however, differs in various texts. After the emperor’s death, Wolfdietrich was driven from his inheritance by his brothers at the instigation of the traitor Sabene. Berchtung and his sixteen sons stood by Wolfdietrich. Six of these were slain and the other ten imprisoned. It was only after long exile in Lombardy at the court of King Ortnit that the hero returned to deliver the captives and regain his kingdom.
The Ark upon the mountain
The Dove and Branch upon the sea
The hammers of iniquity
beat upon my forgotten tomb
I am awake upon the turbulant waters
My enemies cast lots
and blame me for their sins
while God’s friends
read me on the Day of Atonement
so all will be saved
so all will be united in peace
The sun went down on me
so long ago
The vine that grew over my head
has wilted in the desert of forgetfulness
But, there on a mountian
a purple haze
a rosy afterglow
in a King’s rosegarden atop a mount
that bid noble knights to climb hither
that beckon knights to sever a thread
and once again
be brave

A video posted on YouTube July 9 shows a tomb being destroyed with a sledgehammer which government officials said was “almost certainly” the tomb of Biblical prophet Jonah.
Today I discovered the mountain that graced the header of this blog for several years is not Mount Tamalpias, but a range of mountains in the Alps where in a vision the Dwarf-King Lauren bid brave knights to come do battle in his Rosegarten. There is a thread that protects this garden that is broken. Consider the names Rosemont and Rougemont, and the Rose Thread I have been following in this blog for years. I have arrived. Who am I?
Believing I was born on the Day of Atonement, my mother, Rosemary, named me after John the Baptist. If I took the surname, Rosamond, I would be ‘The Gift of God – The Rose of the World’.
Unto my family I have been the Scapegoat. They commit the crimes, I do the time. This family tradition goes way back because there is a Roth in our family, and a family full of alcoholics renders most members – BLAMELESS – but the Scapegoat.
Rosemary told me she had a vision while in labour that she told herself she must not forget. She forgot, to her consternation. Then, come the fight over how my name would be spelled. When a nurse out a H in JON my mother was furious and refused to call me JOHN. For years I have wondered to myself if the name she wanted to give me, was JONAH. The Book of Jonah is read on Yom Kippur.

Micah 7:18-19
18 Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.
19 You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
“Hildebrand tells Dietrich where he can find such an adventure: the dwarf Laurin has a rose-garden in the Tyrolian forest. He will fight any challenger who breaks the thread surrounding his rose garden. Dietrich and Witige immediately set off to challenge Laurin; Hildebrand and Dietleib follow secretly behind. Upon seeing the beautiful rose-garden, Dietrich relents and decides that he does not want to harm anything so lovely.
Barnabas 3:3
But unto us He saith; Behold, this is the fast which I have chosen,
saith the Lord; loosen every band of wickedness, untie the
tightened cords of forcible contracts, send away the broken ones
released and tear in pieces every unjust bond. Break thy bread to
the hungry, and if thou seest one naked clothe him; bring the
shelterless into thy house, and if thou seest a humble man, thou
shalt not despise him, neither shall any one of thy household and
of thine own seed.
Barnabas 7:11
But what meaneth it, that they place the wool in the midst of the thorns? It is
a type of Jesus set forth for the Church, since whosoever should desire to take
away the scarlet wool it behoved him to suffer many things owing to the terrible
nature of the thorn, and through affliction to win the mastery over it. Thus, He
saith, they that desire to see Me, and to attain unto My kingdom, must lay hold
on Me through tribulation and affliction.Scapegoat’s red cloth or ribbon?
Barnabas 7:8 And do ye all spit upon it and goad it, and place scarlet wool
about its head, and so let it be cast into the wilderness. And when it is so
done, he that taketh the goat into the wilderness leadeth it, and taketh off the
wool, and putteth it upon the branch which is called Rachia, the same whereof we
are wont to eat the shoots when we find them in the country. Of this briar alone
is the fruit thus sweet.
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has expressed concern for Christians forced to flee Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, where Christians have resided for centuries.
The pontiff in his traditional Angelus blessing on Sunday offered prayers for Iraqi Christians who “are persecuted, chased away, forced to leave their houses without out the possibility of taking anything” with them.
Christians departed Mosul this week for the largely autonomous Kurdish region after they were issued an ultimatum to convert to Islam, pay a tax or face death. It’s the latest exodus of Christians from the city where communities date from the first centuries of Christianity.
Francis also called for dialogue to resolve armed conflicts around the world, especially in the Middle East and Ukraine, emphasizing “violence is not overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.”
Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte says he is “shocked by disrespectful behaviour” of rebels picking through Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 wreckage and warns Russian President Vladimir Putin has one last chance to help rescuers recover the bodies of the victims of the crash
Dietrichs Flucht begins with a long history of Dietrich’s ancestors, who all live exceptionally long and virtuous lives and leave a single heir to the kingdom. They are native to Italy (called Lomparten or Rœmischlant) and spend their lives acquiring brides and fighting dragons. This easy line of inheritance is broken first by Ortnit, but the succession is restored by Wolfdietrich. Then Amelung, son of Wolfdietrich, has three sons: Ermenrich, Dietmar, and Diether.
Der Rosengarten zu Worms is attested in numerous manuscript and printed copies from the early 14th century until the late 16th century, with several principle versions of the story are usually recognized, A, D, P, F, and C. The story probably predates its appearance in manuscripts, with Heinzle assuming an origin in the early 13th century. The story connects characters surrounding the legend of Dietrich von Bern with those of the Nibelungenlied, and is closely connected with the similar epic, Biterolf und Dietleib.
The basic outline of the story is this: Gippich is the lord of the rosegarden in Worms, and as Kriemhild’s father, Gippich dares any wooer to defeat the garden’s twelve guardians. Dietrich von Bern and Etzel, king of the Huns take up the challenge together. They travel to Worms with their retinue, and face each of the guardians in single combat. Among the guardians are giants, named Pusolt, Ortwin, Schrutan and Asprian. Dietrich von Bern fights and defeats Siegfried. Except for one draw (Biterolf refuses to fight his kinsman Walther of Aquitaine), all fights end with Dietrich’s side victorious. Dietrich fights against Siegfried, initially doing poorly and complaining of Siegfried’s hardened skin. Hildebrand tells Wolfhart to falsely tell Dietrich of the tutors death, after which point Dietrich’s rage causing him to breathe fire and Hildebrand must intervene so that Dietrich does not kill Siegfried. Finally, Gippich has to submit to Dietrich and Etzel, and the victors are honoured with garlands and kisses.
A connection between this poem and Dietrichs encounter with Siegfried in the Thidrekssaga is usually speculated: either the author of the Thidrekssaga knew of the Rosengarten and altered it for his work (meaning that the Rosengarten existed in the 13th century) or there was an even older tale of Dietrich’s encounter with Siegfried which diverged into the story found in the Thidrekssaga and that of the Rosengarten. Especially noticeable is the fact that Kriemhilt and Gunther’s father has the name Gibich, corresponding to the Norse tradition and the Waltharius, which in the Nibelungenlied has been replaced by another name.
Wolfdietrich
Wolfdietrich is a German hero of romance. The tale of Wolfdietrich is connected with the Merovingian princes, Theodoric and Theodebert, son and grandson of Clovis; but in the Middle High German poems of Ortnit and Wolfdietrich in the Heldenbuch.
Wolfdietrich is the son of Hugdietrich, emperor of Constantinople. Repudiated and exposed by his father, the child was spared by the wolves of the forest, and was educated by the faithful Berchtung of Meran. The account of his parents and their wooing, however, differs in various texts. After the emperor’s death, Wolfdietrich was driven from his inheritance by his brothers at the instigation of the traitor Sabene. Berchtung and his sixteen sons stood by Wolfdietrich. Six of these were slain and the other ten imprisoned. It was only after long exile in Lombardy at the court of King Ortnit that the hero returned to deliver the captives and regain his kingdom.
Wolfdietrich’s exile and return suggested a parallel with the history of Dietrich von Bern, with whom he was often actually identified; and the Mentors of the two heroes, Hildebrand and Berchtung, are cast in the same mould. Presently features of the Wolfdietrich legend were transferred to the Dietrich cycle, and in the Anhang to the Heldenbuch it is stated in despite of all historical considerations that Wolfdietrich was the grandfather of the Veronese hero. Among the exploits of Wolfdietrich was the slaughter of the dragon which had slain Ortnit.
He thus took the place of Hardheri, one of the mythical Hartung brothers, the original hero of this feat. The myth attached itself to the family of Clovis, around which epic tradition rapidly gathered. Hugdietrich is generally considered to be the epic counterpart of Theodoric (Dietrich), eldest son of Clovis. The prefix was the barbarian equivalent of Frank, and was employed to distinguish him from Theodoric the Goth. After his father’s death he divided the kingdom with his brothers. Wolfdietrich represents his son Theodebert (d. 548), whose succession was disputed by his uncles, but was secured by the loyalty of the Frankish nobles. But father and son are merged by a process of epic fusion in Wolfdietrich.
The rape of Sydrat, daughter of the heathen Walgunt of Salnecke, by Hugdietrich disguised as a woman, is typical of the tales of the wooing of heathen princesses made fashionable by the Crusades, and was probably extraneous to the original legend. It may, however, also be put on a semi-historical basis by adopting the suggestion of C Voretzsch (Epische Studien I. Die Comp. des Huon von Bordeaux, Halle 1900), that Wolfdietrich is far more closely connected with Theodoric than Theodebert, and that Hugdietrich, therefore, stands for Clovis, the hero, in the Merovingian historians, of a well-known Brautfahrtsaga.
Ortnit and Wolfdietrich have been edited by Dr J. L. Edlen von Lindhausen (Tübingen, 1906). G Sarrazin, in Zeitschr. für deutsche Phil. (1896), compared the legend of Wolfdietrich with the history of Gundovald, as given by Gregory of Tours in books VI and VII of his Hist. Francorum.
The Haddingjar refers on the one hand to legends about two brothers by this name, and on the other hand to possibly related legends based on the Hasdingi, the royal dynasty of the Vandals. The accounts vary greatly.
It has been suggested that they were originally two Proto-Germanic legendary heroes by the name *Hazdingōz, meaning the “longhairs”, and that they were identical to the Alci mentioned by Tacitus. According to Tacitus, the Alci were worshiped as gods by priests in female clothing:
[…] and the Nahanarvali. Among these last is shown a grove of immemorial sanctity. A priest in female attire has the charge of it. But the deities are described in Roman language as Castor and Pollux. Such, indeed, are the attributes of the divinity, the name being Alcis. They have no images, or, indeed, any vestige of foreign superstition, but it is as brothers and as youths that the deities are worshipped.[1]
Cassius Dio mentioned c. 170 the Astingoi as a noble clan among the Vandals, and the Asdingi reappear, in the 6th century in Jordanes’ work as the royal dynasty of the Vandals.
The root appears in Old Icelandic as haddr meaning “women hair”, and the motivation for the name Haddingjar/Astingoi/Asdingi was probably that men from Germanic royal dynasties sported long hair as a mark of dignity (cf. the “longhaired Merovingians”).
Ortnit, or Otnit, German hero of romance, was originally Hertnit or Hartnit, the elder of two brothers known as the Hartungs, who correspond in German mythology to the Dioscuri.[1]
Ortnit’s seat was at Holmgard (Novgorod), according to the Thidrekssaga (ch. 45), and he was related to the Russian saga heroes. Later on his city of Holmgard became Garda, and in ordinary German legend he ruled in Lombardy. Hartnit won his bride, a Valkyrie, by hard fighting against the giant Isungs, but was killed in a later fight by a dragon. His younger brother, Hardheri (replaced in later German legend by Wolfdietrich), avenged Ortnit by killing the dragon, and then married his brother’s widow.[1]
Analysis[edit]
Ortnit’s wooing was corrupted by the popular interest in the Crusades to an Oriental Brautfahrtsaga, bearing a very close resemblance to the French romance of Huon of Bordeaux. Both heroes receive similar assistance from Alberich (Oberon), who supplanted the Russian Ilya as Ortnit’s epic father in Middle High German romance. Karl Friedrich Neumann maintained that the Russian Ortnit and the Lombard king were originally two different persons, and that the incoherence of the tale is due to the welding of the two legends into one.[1]
ISIS destroys shrines, Shiite mosques in IraqA video posted on YouTube July 9 shows a tomb being destroyed with a sledgehammer which government officials said was “almost certainly” the tomb of Biblical prophet Jonah.
Earlier, Mosul’s Christians fled the city en masse before a Saturday deadline issued by the al-Qaeda-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) for them to either convert to Islam, pay tax, leave or be killed.
Al Arabiya correspondent in Iraq Majid Hamid said the deadline set by the jihadist group was 12 p.m. Iraqi time (10 a.m. GMT). Hamid reported that many Christians fled the city on Friday. It is not clear if any remained after the deadline.
Patriarch Louis Sako told AFP on Friday: “Christian families are on their way to Dohuk and Arbil,” in the neighboring autonomous region of Kurdistan. “For the first time in the history of Iraq, Mosul is now empty of Christians,” he said.
Witnesses said messages telling Christians to leave the city by Saturday were blared through loudspeakers from the city’s mosques Friday.
A statement dated from last week and purportedly issued by ISIS that took over the city and large swathes of Iraq during a sweeping offensive last month warned Mosul’s Christians they should convert, pay a special tax, leave or face death.
Iraq was home to an estimated 1 million Christians before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted former President Saddam Hussein. Since then, militants have frequently targeted Christians across the country, bombing their churches and killing clergymen. Under such pressures, many Christians have left the country. Church officials now put the community at around 450,000.
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus makes a reference to Jonah when he is asked for a miraculous sign by the Pharisees and teachers of the Law. Jesus says that the sign will be the sign of Jonah. Jesus implies that Jonah’s restoration after three days inside the great whale prefigures His own resurrection.
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
—Gospel of Matthew, chapter 12 verses 39–41[6]
Jonah (Yunus in Arabic, or Yunan for Christian Arabs) is highly important in Islam as a prophet who was faithful to God and delivered His messages. In Islam, Jonah is also called Dhul-Nun (Arabic: ذو النون; meaning The One of the Whale). Chapter 10 of the Qur’an is named Jonah, although in this chapter only verse 98 refers to him directly. It is said in Muslim tradition that Jonah came from the tribe of Benjamin and that his father was Amittai.[9] Jonah is the only one of the Twelve Minor Prophets[9] of the Hebrew Bible to be mentioned by name in the Qur’an.
Jonah’s Qur’anic narrative is extremely similar to the Hebrew Bible story. The Qur’an describes Jonah as a righteous preacher of the message of God but a messenger who, one day, fled from his mission because of its overwhelming difficulty
The Alpenglow refers to the particular effect that the scattered light of the sunset and – aufgangs in the mountains has. Die Felshänge und Schneeflächen reflektieren dabei dieses Licht rot, während der Vordergrund bereits oder noch im Dunkeln liegt. The rocky slopes and snowfields reflect this this light red while the foreground is already or still in the dark.
Alpenglow (from German: Alpenglühen) is an optical phenomenon in which a horizontal red glowing band is observed on the horizon opposite to the sun. This effect occurs when the Sun is just below the horizon. Alpenglow is easiest to observe when mountains are illuminated but can also be observed when the sky is illuminated through backscattering.
Since the Sun is below the horizon, there is no direct path for the light to reach the mountain. Instead, light reflects off airborne snow, water, or ice particles low in the atmosphere. These conditions differentiate between a normal sunrise or sunset and alpenglow.
Although the term may be loosely applied to any sunrise or sunset light seen on the mountains, true alpenglow is not direct sunlight and is only observed after sunset or before sunrise.
In the absence of mountains, the aerosols in the eastern portion of the sky can be illuminated in the same way at sunset by the remaining red scattered light straddling the border of the Earth’s own shadow (the terminator). This back-scattered light produces a red band opposite the Sun.
The Thidrekssaga has probably been written in Bergen (Norway) during the reign of king Hakon IV (1217-1263).
Being fed up with the behaviour of his nobles, who mostly adhered to ancient Germanic bloody-mindedness, king Hakon encouraged the translation of several Continental European epic cycles, thus hoping to show the aristocrats that their Glorious Ancestors did not always consider it bad taste to behave with a modicum of decency or to respect their King.
Charlemagne and Dietrich von Bern being the prime examples of true noble kings, the Karlamagnus Saga was translated from French and the Thidrekssaga from German (2nd href) into Norse.
The Rosenmund cote of arms contains a cross. Only a family that went on crusade can put a cross on their shield. This cross is made up of a weaving hook, according to the Rosamond family genealogists, and was worn as a tunic pin by the Rougemont Crusaders. What this cross is, is a spindle. The Knights Templar of Fontenotte had a spindle on the marker outside their chapel where in the place of roses, they have two camels that represent the Outremer, the Kingdom of God that was lost to Islam. It is time to awaken that kingdom from a long sleep.
The Templar cross is a spindle viewed from the top. We see it laid down on the monument. This is my revelation after attending a weavers convention at the Lane County fairgrounds where I saw a spindle that looked like a cross. I talked to an expert who was present, and he said this cross design had been around before the Crusades. This is evidence my Rosamond/Rougemont ancestors were Knights Templar.
Grimms named Briar Rose, Rosamond. She is pricked by a spindle and falls asleep. Her father’s kingdom falls asleep with her.
My grandfather, Royal Rosamond,was born of two roses, William Thomas Rosamond, and Ida Louisiana Rose. My mother was Rosemary Rosamond. Her mother was Mary Magdalene Rosamond. My late sister was Christine Rosamond Benton.
Gottschalk Rosemont gifted the Vatican with a large building that contained the weavers guilds of the Netherlands. This became Leuvain College where his grandson was master. Gottschalk Rosemont was the master of Falcom Art College, and wrote a book ‘Confessionals’ that he signed with the image of a rose, that is the same rose the Royal Family of Holland wear, but, in full bloom. This is the emblem of the Swan Brethren.
Rosemary told her sons the Stuttmeisters were Teutonic Knights. Our mother may have confused them with the Templers, a movement that was banned by the Evangelical Church, that they were in good standing with. This is why their tomb is at the entrance of the Berlin cemetary that may have been created to accept the parishioners of this Lutheran Union. A schism would explain why there is no history to be found on this family. The Templers became associated with the Nazis and their records were stored in East Germany. The Templers lived in the Holy Land and were intent on rebuilding the Temple – while wearing the Swastika!
I suspect Rudolph was an envoy who set out in ships to bring the Templers back into the fold – that beheld Kaiser Wilhelm as a Prussian Messiah? The Stuttmeisters may have been court preachers for the royal Prussians, and thus…
