I will not be the next Governor of Oregon. I concede.
Below is a video of my Republican opponents who look like they came to my State for the Creamed Corn Convention – that is traditionally held in Nebraska. We get promises to deal with the homeless, but, only I got frontline battle scars. Are those images of happily married Lesbian Couples? Twenty years from now there will be debates about the adopted child of Victoria and Miriam starring in the next alternative James Bond movie.

Threat From Alley Valkyrie
Posted on January 8, 2015 by Royal Rosamond Press
Here is the threat I received from Alley Valkyrie ten months ago. I did not know her. Belle did not tell me to stop calling her or write about her until after I received this threat that was carried out.
“I’m going to make this very simple for you. I don’t know if you know who I am, but I sure as hell know who you are, and when you fuck with my friends, you fuck with me. Stop writing about Belle or I am going to make your life very difficult. I mean it. If I see one more word about her on your blog, your FB, or anywhere else, I will make sure that you experience all the fear and discomfort that she is experiencing right now. And no, this isn’t a physical threat, so don’t try to play victim. Frankly, I encourage you to contact EPD, as they already know all about you. I will not do anything illegal, but mark my word you will regret it if you write one more word about her. I will make sure that the entire community knows exactly how much of a sick fuck you are. Your picture, your name, and “samples” of your writing will be posted on every bulletin board in town. There will not be a single person in the Eugene/Springfield area who won’t know that you’re a sick stalker who won’t leave a young girl alone. Cut it out. Now. This is your first, last, and only warning.”
“Cut it out.”
Anti-Capalist Pagan Primer | Rosamond Press
“Please, go ahead and blog my threat.
You have no fucking idea what you’re getting yourself into
You also have no idea how many people are already on to you, and how many people have my back. We also have six other mutual friends who are going to learn about your behavior ASAP
And just so you know as well: if you write anything about me that could be construed as defamatory, you will be hearing from my lawyers ASAP.”
