After Herod had John beheaded there was unrest amongst his followers who the fictional Jesus approaches while they were grieving, on the verge of revolt. No doubt there was a protest and revolt, but, it was not broadcast on the radio of T.V. The news of John’s murder was broadcast abroad in the Diaspora where the disciples of John preached in Synagogues about the Great Atonement at the End Days.
Now Jews were upset in Greece and Rome. An excuse had to be invented, such as, John TRANSFERRED the Holy Spirit over to his disciple Jesus (Jesus who?)while in prison, and thus the Holy Spirit that WAS in John, and now is in Jesus. When John’s teaching about the Jubilee caused the debt archives to be burned and the war with with Rome to begin – and after the Jews lost this war – here come Paul down the road…
The President of the United States betrayed the Kurds. All Christians who voted for this monster, are damned to hell. You played with holy dice – and lost!
Above is the coat of arms of the Syrian Kurds who honor the golden eagle.
I believe John the Baptist had all his followers take the Vow of the Nazarite before he cleansed them in the water. The Spirit of God he owned while in his mother’s womb, was passed on to those who took the vow – that enjoined them to God – DIRECTLY! I believe Gentiles were allowed to take the vow, because of Helena, who I, and others, have traced to the Kurds.
Even those who do not believe in God, or any religious deity, you are welcome to take The Vow of the Nazarite in order to connect you to Justice in the World. The followers of John Darby took over the Republican Party that was/is funded by Russian and other Devils.
The Kurds were not given a home, and thus it was impossible to fight…
Is there any reason why I should not claim the the Rosa Mundi and the Stella Maris and protect it in my Tower? For I know the secret of the Tomb Mundi, the Master’s Voice, and Rose Mary Magdalene. I am the Rolling Stone, the BRA, the first and the last………………..Word!

What they say:
That grandiose book of occult lore, the Tarot, has the symbol of the
rose pressed within its pages. Perhaps the most significant image in
the deck is that portraying Death. This card retains its image and
its number throughout the history of the Tarot. Its likely origin is
in the Black Death which swept Europe in 1348 and which became a
popular image for artists and writers in the centuries that followed.
In the reknowned pack published by Waite, Death in black armour is riding a white horse. He carries in his left…
“The Romance of the Rose
By Anthony Roe
(Originally published at Beltane 1997) Some years ago at a witchy shop in Glastonbury, I found a little grimoire with a spell to enchant a wayward lover.1 This entails tracing the name of the spirit of Venus in the lover’s footprint which is then to be covered with rose petals. A simple ritual in itself, this operation yet echoes ideas and makes use of symbolism thousands of years old. The great virtue of an occult symbol is that it not only represents something, but also makes manifest the power behind the symbols for those who with faith make use of it. The doctrine of sympathies means that all things in the chain of correspondences may be used in ritual to affect all manner of ministreting (?) forces, and by use of the appropriate symbols even species of the divine power…
“Although roses were once popular throughout Europe during the reign of the Roman Empire, they soon lost their importance once the empire went into decline. Almost forgotten, it was the Crusaders of the twelfth and thirteenths centuries who – bringing them back from their Eastern travels -revived their popular interest. Before long the rose found its way back into the gardens of rich noblemen and wealthy merchants.
There was even some profit to be made with the return of this forgotten plant as their bright red petals were used in the production of rose-petal syrups and conserves. These were popularly sold on the pretence of ‘dubious’ medicinal properties, but later this formed the basis of the rose-petal industry and used in the production of perfumes.
During this period the most popular rose grown was the ‘Apothecary’s Rose’- Rosa gallica officianalis. It was also known as…
Elizabeth grew up with an understanding and appreciation for fine art. Her father, Francis Taylor, was an art dealer with a gallery located at 35 Old Bond Street in London. He learned the business under the tutelage of his uncle, Howard Young. After relocating with his family to sunny California during the war, Francis opened an art gallery at the Château Elysée, but quickly relocated it to the more impressive Beverly Hills Hotel. It was at that location that such celebrities as Howard Duff, Vincent Price, James Mason, Alan Ladd, Hedda Hopper, and Greta Garbo could be found selecting art for their own collections. Francis Taylor was also a trendsetter; responsible for the popularity of Augustus John in the United States. Francis, who had a keen eye, asked John if he could buy some of the paintings John had discarded. John felt they weren’t good enough to sell, and gave them to Francis free of charge. They were sold back at the art gallery in the States, where Augustus John paintings would be sold exclusively for many years. Francis would soon find an art connoisseur in his daughter, Elizabeth, who would amass one of the great private collections of Impressionist art in America.
Bond Street in the West End of London links Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north. It has been popular for retail since the 18th century as the home of many fashion outlets that sell prestigious or expensive items. The southern section is Old Bond Street and the longer northern section New Bond Street—a distinction not generally made in everyday usage.
The street was built on fields surrounding Clarendon House on Piccadilly, which were developed by Sir Thomas Bond. It was built up in the 1720s, and by the end of the 18th century was a popular place for the upper-class residents of Mayfair to socialise. Prestigious or expensive shops were established along the street, but it declined as a centre of social activity in the 19th century, although it held its reputation as a fashionable place for retail, and is home to the auction houses Sotheby’s and Bonhams (formerly Phillips) and the department store Fenwick and jeweller Tiffany’s. It is one of the most expensive and sought after strips of real estate in Europe.
Prosecutors in Alexandria say the targets of the bogus bomb threats included a predominantly African American church in Alexandria, an unidentified cabinet official living in northern Virginia and Old Dominion University in Norfolk.
Court records do not identify the cabinet official, but public records show that the then homeland security secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, was a victim of a swatting incident at her home in Alexandria in January 2019, when the alleged swatting conspiracy was active.
The Seattle case charges four alleged Atomwaffen Division members, including Kaleb J Cole, for their roles in a plot they dubbed Operation Erste Saule. Authorities say in court papers that journalists and an employee of the Anti-Defamation league received posters in the mail with warnings “Your Actions have Consequences” and “We are Watching”
I am one of the few people in the world who now own The Right Stuff to wage cyber warfare on the Cyber Bully, President Trump. Trough the risen spirit of Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, as Cleopatra Rosemond Bond, I can destroy the Trump-Putin machine. I summon the Daughter of Ra to dispatch the enemies of the Constitution!
I am offering to do painting from Rena Easton’s photographs when she was young. I am looking for a new Dutch Model to play Cleo.
President Trump began berating Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in the Oval Office earlier this spring, according to administration officials, griping about her performance and blaming her for a surge in illegal border crossings.
Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, who installed her in the job, jumped in to defend her.
The two men then sparred over Nielsen as she silently watched. At one point, Trump noted the border numbers were lower under Kelly and wondered aloud why Nielsen could not perform as well, according to these officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private meeting.
Richard Burton was Ian Fleming’s first choice to play James Bond. Richard married my kin, Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, whose father ran an art gallery at 35 Bond Street, that was named after Jame’s fictional ancestor. Roger Moor was in a movie with this famous married couple, separately. There is the term ‘Hollywood Royalty’ that is now applicable to Meghan Markle, who was granted a coat of arms. The Bond name is a real name in the Peerage. The sons of Princess Diana ‘England’s Rose’ are assuming real roles in worldly affairs, and thus the time of them being merely figureheads, is coming to an end. What I suggest, is, that James Bond movies and book, can play a big role in making this world a better place to live.
I awoke this morning from a dream. I was James Bond (somewhat) and I was writing myself a check. It was for an emergency, just incase I got hurt and suffered from memory loss. It would pay for my hospital bill, a hotel room, and dinner at a fine restruant. Is $10,000 enough? How about $50,000? Is the sky the limit?
I did not want to get rid of the idea for a Female Bond. Who would be my model? Who would understand? Who would get behind my cause? Who would not give me all this grief? Then, she came to me. My Savior. My kindred………Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor!
I got up and looked at Richard Burton who is in my family tree. Ian Fleming wanted him to be the first James Bond. I then looked at the paintings and drawings of Augustus John, that Francis Taylor and Liz owned. John had a daughter, Amaryllis, who was the mother of Ian Flaming. Elizabeth Taylor’s father had a art gallery at 35 Old Bond Street that was named after Sir Thomas Bond that is the ancestor of James Bond. Liz and Richard are in the Getty family tree, and we are kin to Talkitha Getty.
Caspar John is in my rosy family tree. He was a Sea Lord, and half-brother of Poppet Pol (John) There is no doubt that Rena’s late husband, Commander Sir Ian Easton, and John, knew each other. Tabitha Getty is Caspar’s second-niece. She was a Bohemian fashion model, and step-mother of John Paul, who was abducted. John is the subject of a movie and television series titled ‘Trust’. Why are these knighted men marrying beautiful American women? May I dare wonder?
Rena was the muse of my late, Christine Rosamond, and I. This is the love story of our time. The children born at the end of the World War were given a special mission. Rena and I were destined to meet – and part – so our spirits can rescue Britain from her enemies. Britannia rules the waves! Like Phoenix Birds…………..We will rise from the ashes?
Sotheby’s is located at 35 Bond Street. Is it on the same building that Francis Taylor had his art gallery? Did Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor ever go into this gallery? Today, there is a statue of Sekhmet above the door. She is The Guardian. She is the Daughter of God Ra!
On this day, May 25, 2018 at 9:00 A.M. PST…….Cleopatra Rosemond Bond…..is born! She will be called ‘Cleo Bond’. Cleopatra ‘Rose of the World’.
I bury Victoria Bond, and dismiss Lara Roozemond as the model of my Bond Woman. However, she might be my model for Cleo’s arch rival.
I FOUND a incredible connection that already existed. It lie there, dead, waiting for The Heir to come along – and resurrect the Rose-Bond Lineage. I am a immortal! I am in the cat-bird-seat. I have been given a blank check – from beyond the grave! There is a great battle brewing on the horizon! I am with ‘The Champions’! When I get my first royalty check, I’m moving to Bond Street. I want to open a Art Gallery on Bond Street, called –
‘The John Gallery’

Bond Street is a major shopping street in the West End of London. It links Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north and has been popular for retail since the 18th century, being the home of many fashion outlets that sell prestigious or expensive items. The southern section is Old Bond Street and the longer northern section New Bond Street—a distinction not generally made in everyday usage.

He was born in Springfield, Illinois, the son of Elizabeth Mary (née Rosemond; 1869–1937) and Francis Marion Taylor (1860–1946). The family later moved to Arkansas City, Kansas.
Taylor married stageactressSara Sothern (whose real name was Sara Viola Warmbrodt and who was also from Arkansas City) in 1926 in New York.[citation needed]
They were the parents of Howard Taylor (born 1929) and of Elizabeth Taylor (1932–2011).
Within a few years of his marriage, Taylor was transferred to Young’s art gallery in London, England, where he and Sara lived for several years, and where their children were born. In April 1939, five months before the outbreak of World War II in Europe, they returned to the United States.
Richard Burton could have been the first James Bond â but turned down author Ian Flemingâs overtures because he thought it would be âjust another movieâ – reports icWales.
Fleming approached Burton when he entered talks to turn his 1953 novel Casino Royale into a film. He was looking for someone manly and virile, dark and brooding â and thought the great Welsh actor would fit the bill.
âAt the time he was doing Camelot and enjoying great stardom because of it,â says Burtonâs great-nephew Guy Masterson.
âMy uncle told me that Ian Fleming had approached him, asking him to play Bond. But back then, in 1959, Bond was a new concept â nobody had any idea it would be as big as it became.
âMy uncle told me that he thought it was going to be âjust another movieâ.â
Despite Bondâs consequent mass appeal, Burton never admitted to family or friends that he regretted the decision.
âNo matter how big Bond became, he never said he regretted missing out on the role,â said Guy, whose grandmother Cissy was Burtonâs aunt.
âHad Burton played Bond, I think he would have been absolutely fantastic.
âI saw Daniel Craig in Casino Royale the other day and I thought to myself: yes, thatâs Richard. Thatâs very much how my uncle would have played the role.â
A different scenario, and cinema history might have changed beyond recognition.
For had Burton played Bond, he probably would not have taken the part of Marc Anthony in the 1963 classic Cleopatra in which he met stunning co-star Elizabeth Taylor.
And in that case, arguably the worldâs most famous celebrity couple might never have been.
Playing Bond was not the only mega-role that the Welsh movie legend, who died in 1984, turned down.
âMy uncle was also offered the role of Captain Georg von Trapp in The Sound of Music, to star opposite Julie Andrews,â revealed Guy, who lives in North London with his wife and two daughters, aged seven and three.
The Taylor family enjoyed a long association with Augustus John (1878-1961) and these portraits and figure studies have been in the family’s possession for over 70 years.
In a recent letter to Chiswick Auctions, Dame Elizabeth wrote “In the late 1930s my father Francis Taylor based his business as an art dealer in London. During that time he acquired a great many works by Augustus John including these drawings that the artist had torn up in a fit of anger… and which my father subsequently persuaded him to allow to be pieced back together, a task that my father undertook himself.”
Francis Taylor was an art dealer with a gallery located at 35 Old Bond Street. He relocated with his family to California during the War, and opened an art gallery in the Beverly Hills Hotel where his clients included Vincent Price, James Mason, Alan Ladd and Greta Garbo.
Taylor was considered something of a trendsetter and was largely responsible for the popularity of Augustus John in the United States. Dame Elizabeth’s elder brother Francis was later the Pembrokeshire artist’s American agent for many years.
Jan Leman, picture specialist at Chiswick Auctions, said he had been unaware of the celebrity source of the drawings until, 40 minutes into a telephone conversation, his client Christopher Wilding requested the advice of his mother – who just happened to be the famous actress.
Mr Wilding (son of actor Michael Wilding who was Taylor’s second husband) is handling the sale for the Taylor family. He said: “There are 47 drawings, and almost all were torn up into four to six pieces by the artist and subsequently rescued.”
Augustus John himself referred to the incident in a letter dated September 23, 1939. Discussing his desire to paint the Queen at Windsor for an informal portrait that he could include in “my show in America”, he states: “Francis Taylor is stashing all my beloved drawings and things away (many of which I tore up by-the-by in a fit of madness, but he has pieced them together again.”
Today is the anniversary of the death of the great Richard Burton. Once considered for the role of James Bond, he was a voracious reader and one wonders what he thought of Ian Fleming. The closest we might get is a short diary entry published in ‘Richard Burton: A Life’ (p. 292).
On March 28th 1969, Burton writes:
“I went to bed at 9 and read a book of Ian Fleming’s called You Only Live Twice. A clever schoolboy mind and atrociously vulgar.”
Burton did not suffer fools and someone with an intellect as he possessed, a James Bond novel might have appeared very lightweight to him at first glance. Melvyn Bragg described Burton’s reading habits as “indiscriminate but he chews on whatever he finds and turns it into something for himself.” And chew he did.
His brief ‘review’ particularly picked up on the gastronomical aspects of the novel describing Fleming as having a “pompous attitude to food and cocktails” and it clearly hit a nerve!
“[…] he has the cordon-bleu nerve to attack one of my favourite discoveries: American short-order cooking.”
Despite taking umbrage with Fleming’s treatment of American fast-food and describing the novel as “diffuse, urbane and empty”, he does offer some final, grudging respect:
“Yet you cannot help liking Fleming. He is so obviously enjoying the creation of his extroverted, Hemingway-esque, sadistic, sexually-maniacal boy-scout that in the end he becomes likable.”
Back handed praise from the great man. One wonders if he read any more?
The son of Doctor Thomas Bond (1580–1662), by his marriage to Catherine, daughter of John Osbaldeston, Bond was born about 1620 at Peckham. The exact dates of his birth, death and marriage are unknown. He is not to be confused with Thomas Bond, a 19th-century artist and the author of a book on Cornwall.[1]
After the Restoration, Bond had a house in Pall Mall, assessed for Hearth Tax in 1674 as having twenty hearths, and a country estate in Peckham and Camberwell. He also owned land in Yorkshire, at Kirkby Malham, Malham Dale, and Fountains Fell. He bought a large estate from his brother-in-law Sir Thomas Crymes (or Grimes), Baronet, and Westminster‘s Bond Street is named after one of his developments. He is reported to have built a new manor house at Peckham, long since demolished and now the site of Peckham Hill Street.
Sir Thomas Bond was buried on 8 June 1685, in Saint Giles Church, Camberwell.
Bond married a French wife, Marie da la Garde (died 1696), a daughter of Charles Peliot, Sieur de la Garde, of Paris, one of the maids of the Queen Mother‘s privy chamber. They had two sons, Henry (died 1721) and Thomas (died 1732), and a daughter, Mary Charlotte (c1656-1708), who married Sir William Gage 2nd Baronet of Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.
The arms of the Bond family (argent, on a chevron sable three bezants) and their crest (a winged demi-horse ensigned with six stars), with the motto“Orbis non sufficit” (The world is not enough), were emblazoned in a window of the church of St Giles, Camberwell, destroyed by a fire in the 19th century.
Gemma Arterton followed in the footsteps of a long list of Bond girls when she was plucked to star in Quantum Of Solace.
Her name was suddenly being mentioned in the same breath as silver screen legends Ursula Andress, Jane Seymour, Halle Berry and Diana Rigg.
But now she has set her sights even higher… by emulating Elizabeth Taylor in one of her most memorable scenes.
The 23-year-old actress has recreated a moment from Dame Liz’s 1958 classic Cat On A Hot Tin Roof to promote the upcoming Virgin Media Shorts competition.
Dressed in white negligee and a curly black wig, Gemma reclined on a gold brass bed to recreate an early scene in the movie, in which Elizabeth’s character Maggie ‘The Cat’ attempts to entice her hard-drinking husband Brick (Paul Newman) to bed.
The film, adapted from a Tennessee Williams play, starred Taylor and Newman as a couple experiencing the breakdown of their marriage after the suicide of Brick’s best friend Skipper.
‘I’m not living with you, we just occupy the same cage’: Elizabeth and her late co-star Paul Newman in the movie
While Maggie is desperately trying to resurrect their sex life, Brick is more interested in drinking to get over his hatred of the ‘mendacity’ of the world.
The film was nominated for six Oscars, but failed to win any.
Gemma posed as Elizabeth to launch the Virgin Media Shorts competition, which asks budding filmmakers to submit a short film.
The Kent-born actress joins Kevin Spacey, actor/director Noel Clarke, director Daniel Barber and film critic Jason Solomons on the judging panel.
Gemma enthused: ‘Iâm so excited that I got to recreate the iconic shot that made Elizabeth Taylor a household name. She is a complete goddess and my favourite actress in the whole world.
‘I had such a ball on set and I hope that by taking people back to the Golden Age of cinema, weâre giving all budding film-makers food for thought for Virgin Media Shorts.’
Oscar-winning actor Spacey added: ‘With the success of last yearâs competition and the high calibre of entries, Iâm delighted to be a part of the Virgin Media Shorts judging panel for the second year running.
‘As it is increasingly difficult to get a break in the film industry, we’re hoping to uncover and champion the next big thing in British film through this worthwhile competition.’
The competition closes on June 22 with the winner being announced on September 22.
It was a moment of madness that linked one of Britain’s greatest portrait painters and one its greatest movie stars.
Consumed by rage, Augustus John ripped up his collection of delicately sketched nudes because he believed they were not good enough to sell.
The scene was witnessed by Elizabeth Taylor’s father Francis who was then an art dealer living in Hampstead. He calmed Mr John and persuaded him to allow him to piece them back together.
It was the 1930s and John was already one of Britain’s best-known artists.
His subjects included TE Lawrence, Thomas Hardy, WB Yeats, actress Tallulah Bankhead and George Bernard Shaw.
Though many of his works sold for considerable sums of money, the cache of damaged paintings has remained with the Taylor family – until now.
Miss Taylor has decided to sell them through small auction house Chiswick Auctions in West London.
The company’s art consultant Jan Leman was approached by Californian businessman Christopher Wilding – Miss Taylor’s son from her second marriage to actor Michael Wilding.
In an email to the Daily Mail, Mr Wilding said he believes his mother met John when she was six or seven.
The actress, who is now 78, remembers the ‘tearing up’ episode well from her father. In a signed letter to the auctioneers she wrote: ‘In the late 1930s my father Francis Taylor based his business as an art dealer in London.
Art lovers: Elzabeth Taylor with her father Francis. Miss Taylor is said he have an art collection housing paintings from Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso and Monet
Fit of rage: Augustus John destroyed several nude sketches, claiming they were not good enough to sell
‘During that time he acquired a great many works by Augustus John, including these drawings that the artist had torn up in a fit of anger…and which my father subsequently persuaded him to allow to be pieced back together, a task that my father undertook himself.’
Miss Taylor, whose art collection includes paintings by Picasso, Degas, Monet, Van Gogh and Rembrandt, decided to sell them through the little-known auction house because of her affinity with the area.
Mr Leman said: ‘She filmed at Chiswick House many years ago. She also used to go to a pub in Chiswick High Road with Richard Burton.’
John was close to the Taylor family and the home where Elizabeth was born in Hampstead in 1932 had been owned by him.
He lived for many years with his wife, five children, and his mistress on a gypsy camp in the New Forest. David Lloyd George, Ramsay MacDonald and Winston Churchill were all painted by him. He died in 1961.
The 44 drawings for sale are female nude studies and portraits with estimates ranging from £200 to £800.
Soon after I met Casey Farrell on 13th. Street in Eugene, he said this;
“No one dies in the Bible!”
My jaw dropped because it is A TRUTH. Where do Biblical People die – if not in the Sacred and Eternal Words of God? There are so many questions Mr. Farrell’s declaration asks on many levels. It was out of the box, and I was freed up. I could move about the theatre.
For twenty-five years Casey and I have exchanged messages on the internet. Then, he would call me as much as three times a day to make sure I got it – HIS WORD BLOCKS. I am considering these blocks to be WORKS OF ART. I am going to build upon this blog. Come back later. Our falling out happened after we talked about doing a radio show. He would not let me get a WORD IN EDGEWAYS.
“Thou shall not make for yourself any graven images!”
God is THE WORD….and THE WORD…..is GOD
Moses who has seen God, shows God’s People what God looks likes when he show them TWO TABLETS OF TEXT. These words can’t die.
The Davinci Code was written the year Casey published his Word Blocks. I doubt he readthe book.
Thanks for this! I just looked at you magical pic. I awoke from my nap thinking about Grave’s King Jesus, which I have not read in whole. With my last post it is about time. I was playing with a description of your are – if it is art your do?
THE CORRUPTING PATINA ART OF CASEY FARREL
Civilization and Cities are in a state of constant corruption that leaves behind a patina that can be read by those who care to read it. Words have meaning, but they are the patina that collects on the surface, and undersurface of human existence that has a meaning unto itself. Cities – decay. Human curiosity – decays.
John.
Excellent! That may be it. Archaeology is in part based upon ‘Epigraphy’… the unerasable ‘grafitti’ of the past. The buildings and treasures, artifacts, merely a canvas upon which someone scribble ‘something’… ‘last words’ … ‘zen poem’ … who knows? But making it a real puzzler is each in it’s own language… and utilizing some kind of writing system… but first..? Those still here who discover these messages in a bottle… must decypher… the gibberish… to get…’Buy More Crackerjacks, Now!’ – On the other hand… one can detect a kind of cultural legacy in the ‘continuity’ … transmission of knowledge… which is just about ‘supernatural.’ That “patina” then has somehow preserved ‘catchwords’ or ‘mantra’- material for the next ‘singer’ such as yourself. Thank you John for being bold enough to even consider ‘the stuff dreams are made of.’ Have a great day-
Most excellent reply! I see it written on a card at the entrance of your art show of your Word Block Graffiti perhaps with really bad blurred photos.lingering in the background. I see us as the incarnation of Plato and Aristotle who found the flaws, the missing patina in perfect cities and temples that needed a philosophy to define it. Will search for 1950’s Beat movies.

Epigraphy (Ancient Greek: ἐπιγραφή, “inscription”) is the study of inscriptions, or epigraphs, as writing; it is the science of identifying graphemes, clarifying their meanings, classifying their uses according to dates and cultural contexts, and drawing conclusions about the writing and the writers. Specifically excluded from epigraphy are the historical significance of an epigraph as a document and the artistic value of a literary composition.
A person using the methods of epigraphy is called an epigrapher or epigraphist. For example, the Behistun inscription is an official document of the Achaemenid Empire engraved on native rock at a location in Iran. Epigraphists are responsible for reconstructing, translating, and dating the trilingual inscription and finding any relevant circumstances. It is the work of historians, however, to determine and interpret the events recorded by the inscription as document. Often, epigraphy and history are competences practised by the same person.
“JOHN” vs. WM the CONQUEROR? The CELTIC Rebs were ‘JUDAH’? BLUE vs.
SCARLET OHARA? (GRAY) Or other way round? Who cares…the PROTO TYPE
has been WORN OUT! (THEATRICALLY SPEAKING THAT IS!) The whole deal is
like this “MERCURY FISH” thing! Once again the GOOD CLEAN FISH of
AMERICA are ‘needed’ in JAPAN or SOMEWHERE for a big FEED! So…’our
clean fish has got MERCURY!’ JUST THE CLEAN OMEGA VITAMIN FISH! WOW!
Just as with the WATER deal…the PHONE CO DEAL etc. NEVER ENDING
BULL!

otherwords…ALL EUROPEANS ‘were’ (according to the story)
either “ISRAEL” or “JUDAH” Judah was supposed to RULE…and ISRAEL
to be ‘reformed’. So the IPERIALISTS…COLONISTS etc. had
a ‘substitute ‘CAIN” to go and ‘save’! More specifically ENGLAND
under the TUDORS was “ISRAEL” the ‘REDEEMER” and was trying
to ‘convert’ the ‘Jewish’ GERMANS’ Which is why the HANOVERS ‘jumped
ship!” (DURING WWII ALSO with DUKE of WINDSOR living in
VICHY…taking the “LIVING WATERS!”) And so forth and so one. There
is nothing ‘Jewish’ about ANY EURO-LINGO! And ALL ‘JEWS” have EURO
NAMES! But that doesn’t mean ALL Jews are EUROPEANS decent!)y
speaking!) Just as American Negroes have IRSH NAMES…they are
NOT ‘evolved from IRELAND, etc

and the Koreans dispised in JApan…the TUDORS weer ORIGINALLY
pronouncing their “ISRAELITNESS” till teh HANOVERS where the JUDAH
rules thing popped up so the WIndsors are ‘Judah” yet ENGLAND is
ISRAEL…so GERMAN would be HJUDAH but have an ISRAELITISH “LOST
TRIBE DUCHY…which AMAGAMATED with the BRITIC …out of HESSE SAXONY
etc. You know that they had a great HAWAII deal on PBS explaining
Queen Liliuokalani and JAMES Q. BLAINE of KENNEBEC MAINE–who came up
with our version of the OPENIONG TRADE MARKETS etc. He was running
for President. Teddy Roosevelt was for TAKING HAWAII and MARK TWAIN
was for the ANTI-IMPERIALIST LEAGE!

Quote from OUR Ambassador! The ‘CONSTITUTION” precluded HAWAIIANS &
ASIIATICS from VOTING…based on the MISSIISSIPPI CONSTITUTION!
Anyway…I udnerstand the ‘Asian’ if not Citizens of soemplace…but
HAWAIIANS? That sounds like the current situation in FRISCO! Or with
INDIANS? In FRISCO the “ILLEGAL AIRLINES” (ENEMY ALIENS!!!) have ALL
teh RIGHTS! The AMERICANS (inless totally in the GAY POLITICS ARENA!)
have ZIP rights! Blacks have no rights…Ameri-Indians, Mexicabn-
Americans, Somaans, Irish-Americasn, German-Americans, etc. WHEEW!
After Herod had John beheaded there was unrest amongst his followers who the fictional Jesus approaches while they were grieving, on the verge of revolt. No doubt there was a protest and revolt, but, it was not broadcast on the radio of T.V. The news of John’s murder was broadcast abroad in the Diaspora where the disciples of John preached in Synagogues about the Great Atonement at the End Days.
His brief ‘review’ particularly picked up on the gastronomical aspects of the novel describing Fleming as having a “pompous attitude to food and cocktails” and it clearly hit a nerve!
