Update 8/11/22: Rotterdam now won’t dismantle the Koningshaven Bridge for Jeff Bezos’s boat. After backlash, the ship’s builder Oceano decided to not move forward with a request to alter the bridge to sail the yacht. According to a Rotterdam deputy mayor, Oceano will “for the time being not request the environmental permit for the removal of the bridge.”
Jeff Bezos owns a huge chunk of the money making James Bond Myth. But, I am kin to Ian Fleming via my cousin, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor. I have several Bond books in the works. I chose Lara Roozemond to be my star – and new muse! She inspires me. Who inspires Jeff – who can not get his super yacht past a drawbridge in Rotterdam.
Several years ago, I cast Lara as Helen – who launched a thousand ships. The Flemish People have a horse in the race. May I suggest Jeff make Cees Roozemond’s horse dream come to, and, make his daughter a star, or, a Princess Rose. Then he can take The Rose of Holland for a world cruise in order to let the Democracy Loving People know Holland will never forget, or, forgive!
Old Hollywood had a tradition of Courting Beautiful Starlets! Why should the Dutch People bow down as the Oceanco – passes! Go see Ceez, Jeff. And apologize to the people who mastered the sea – and the Friesian Horse!
Not a rose
Nor a horse
But a whisper
in the wind
Our Lady
passes

“It’s the only route to the sea,” a spokesperson for the mayor of Rotterdam told AFP, confirming the news of the bridge’s dismantling. According to Dutch news, ship builder Oceanco convinced the city to dismantle part of the bridge. The Rotterdam mayor’s spokesperson also confirmed that Bezos would pay for the dismantling and rebuilding of the bridge.
In November, Oceano’s chairman, Omani businessman Dr. Mohammed Al Barwani, spoke of the 127 meter (416 feet) sailing yacht the company was working on without mentioning Bezos. Later, Boat International identified the 127m yacht as the one commissioned by the Amazon founder.

Update 8/11/22: Rotterdam now won’t dismantle the Koningshaven Bridge for Jeff Bezos’s boat. After backlash, the ship’s builder Oceano decided to not move forward with a request to alter the bridge to sail the yacht. According to a Rotterdam deputy mayor, Oceano will “for the time being not request the environmental permit for the removal of the bridge.”
“We’re happy it’s not happening,” Marvin Biljoen, a councilman for GroenLinks, the Dutch Green Party, told the New York Times. “The bridge is a national monument, which shouldn’t be altered too much. That you could still do that with money anyway bothers us.”
Last week, Oceano quietly towed the yacht up the river in the early hours of the morning to a different shipyard, and now, Bezos’s boat is nearly completed. The YouTube channel Dutch Yachting shared a video of the boat, and it has three large masts completed:
Sounds like an opportunity to launch the Bond franchise into overdrive, right? There’s a catch: Amazon can’t just churn out countless Bond movies. Amazon will own only 50% of the spy franchise, while the other half will remain held by siblings Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who inherited the rights from their father, longtime Bond producer Albert R. Broccoli. Through EON, their UK production company, Broccoli and Wilson exert exacting control over the Bond franchise, deciding when to make a new Bond film, who should play the title role, and whether television spinoffs get greenlit (they’ve blocked such efforts in the past). According to The New York Times, “Broccoli and Wilson have final say over every line of dialogue, every casting decision, every stunt sequence, every marketing tie-in, every TV ad, poster and billboard.”

I am a registered Republican – after my kin – John and Jessie Fremont. I will write Trump and inform him about the Royal Stud Book. He might want to buy a horsy or two.
Is Cees Roozemont into human genealogies, too? Does his daughter know this? Is she bored of her father’s interest, and thus, may not want us to get know each other?
I Found Roozemond’s Embodiment!
Posted on July 12, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
Above is a woman knight entering a tournament.
On July 12, 2018, at 12:35 P.M. I found the hidden Maiden Knight I have detected in Lara Roozemond for over three years! I believe Lara is the embodiment of Margaret d’Oisy. I have been trying to get Lara to pen an epic poem. Now, I know why! Jon ‘The Dreamer’ is a Psychic Reader?
I see Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, also. Hollywood has got to get involved and champion women in what can be titled propaganda movies. The fictional women’s tournament will make a great movie. Here is the companion movie to Black Panther. White males are being empowered by fascistic nationalism that always leads to war and ruin. Women and their children, suffer the most. This movie can get to the core of the European identity and culture that is very tribal and clannish. That Trump and Putin lead the crusade to wash this identity away, while taking away Women’s Rights in the Supreme Court, is aimed at creating a Massive Money World ruled by male oligarchs and American billionaires, who hate the People’s Champion – especially if she is a woman!
I began to receive Lara’s poems in my e-mail. I read things into her poems, which is the idea of poetry – in most cases! They are often historic-fiction and myth. I assumed she saw my blogs where I title her my muse. Models seek public attention, and have many followers. I exercised my poetic license and inquired if we were related. I got no response, and wondered if she saw this as a typical come-on. Did she not like my references to Christianity? Lara did not like my post I put on her facebook, and asked me to remove it. I believe she wants modeling work. She is studying acting.
My suggestion that I am destined to author the next Tolkien, and Bond movie, might have sounded farfetched. You take your best shot in this world. I know Lara wants to be much more than she is now. How would she like to be a Curator Muse of a Museum Without Walls? Send out resumés.
This poetic connection between William Morris and Huon d’Oisy, is astounding. The Bond and Tolkien Estate are giving their permission for future works. I am seeking that permission. I am modeling my best stuff. If the show fits – wear it! I see a beautiful horse on the internet. I behold a beautiful woman on the internet. I put the beautiful woman on the beautiful horse, and, out her mouth comes her beautiful poetry! I do not created in a vacuum. I need to be inspired!
Lara looks like the maiden who is about to put the helmet on her champion head. But, does she consider putting it on her own? I believe Lara is angry that she was not born a man so that she could outdo her father who prances about an arena with his Frisian horses, like a knight – a god! She rode these horses in shows. Did something go wrong?
In the video that is a tribute to Cees Roozemond, my eyes first fell upon this beautiful child who may be in distress. An award, a plate with a coat of arms is being offered her? These honors are her father’s things. She embraces the horse. This is on part with Arthur pulling the sword from the stone. She prays for something more worthwhile to do with her life, so that this Rose can show the World what truly matters. Now, she can help save the world. This is her calling.
Lara Roozemond! You have been called. You have a calling. Mount up!
P.S. In six minutes it will be midnight. What I long news day. I looking at image of the black night with three stars, I noticed the person in the foreground holding the reins and petting the horse, is a child. I then noticed the long mane of the horse that is supposed to be black, but, then you can not see the mane. The knight may be a woman. Ida Boulogne is one of the Tournament Dames. She is kin to Godfrey de Boulogne. Did a Frisian horse go on Crusade? This is worthy of a study.

It is an interesting fact to the genealogist that the motto borne by the Fleming, or Flemming, family is the only motto recorded in British healdry which is still written in Gaelic This motto, “Bhear na Righ gan”—“May the King live forever”—must date from a very ancient period, as the Flemings have been in England and Scotland for almost a thousand years.
The English chronicler gives as the first of the family Stephen of Flanders, who first assumed the name of Flanders or Fleming to show the nationality of his forefathers. The Irish descendents of Stephen say theat Stephan’s Father, Archembald, a nobleman of Flanders, came from the continent with William the Conqueror and acquired the lordshoip of Bratton in Devonshire.
In 1153, the second Michael le Fleming agreed an exchange of land with Furness Abbey, giving up Roose, Fordbootle and Crivelton for Little Urswick and part of Foss, near Bootle in Cumberland, so that the Abbot could get greater access to his port at Piel.
Notes: Muchland derives its name from Micheal’s Land after Michael le Fleming who was granted the lands by Henry I sometime between 1107 and 1111. These lands lay eastwards of Abbey Beck and southwards of the moors of Birkrigg and Swarthmoor and stretched right down to the southern-most tip of the peninsula at Rampside.[1] At that time the southern limit of the manor was Walney Channel, but it was later moved inland to follow the line of Sarah Beck or Roosebeck. This land became the new manor of Aldingham.

Jeff Bezos’s 127m/ 417ft Y721 with her masts stepped
Expect the superyacht to be on the open seas soon.
Original 2/7/22: The European port of Rotterdam will dismantle part of its iconic Koningshaven bridge for Jeff Bezos. The billionaire’s new yacht is being built in Alblasserdam, in the western Netherlands, and will be too tall to pass under the bridge.
“It’s the only route to the sea,” a spokesperson for the mayor of Rotterdam told AFP, confirming the news of the bridge’s dismantling. According to Dutch news, ship builder Oceanco convinced the city to dismantle part of the bridge. The Rotterdam mayor’s spokesperson also confirmed that Bezos would pay for the dismantling and rebuilding of the bridge.
In November, Oceano’s chairman, Omani businessman Dr. Mohammed Al Barwani, spoke of the 127 meter (416 feet) sailing yacht the company was working on without mentioning Bezos. Later, Boat International identified the 127m yacht as the one commissioned by the Amazon founder.
The Koningshaven bridge, known locally as the De Hef bridge, was built in 1877. During World War II, the bridge was significantly damaged and rebuilt, subsequently recognized as a historic monument. Between 2014 and 2017, the bridge underwent a restoration, and officials promised it would not be dismantled again.

“From an economic perspective and maintaining employment, the municipality considers this a very important project,” Marcel Walravens, the leader of the proposed dismantling project, told Dutch broadcaster Rijnmond. “Rotterdam has also been declared the maritime capital of Europe. Shipbuilding and activity within that sector are therefore an important pillar for the municipality.” Walravens says the project will likely take place sometime this summer.
Dennis Tak, a Labor Party city councilor, said he was OK with the dismantling of the Koningshaven bridge because Bezos is paying for it, and it would create jobs. “As a city, this is a great way to take some of his money,” Tak told the New York Times.
Dutch residents are not happy, however; they plan to throw rotten eggs at Jeff Bezos’s superyacht as it passes through the Rotterdam harbor. Business Insider reports Rotterdam locals are planning an event called “Throwing eggs at Jeff Bezos’ superyacht” in protest.
“Calling all Rotterdammers, take a box of rotten eggs with you and let’s throw them en masse at Jeff’s superyacht when it sails through the Hef in Rotterdam,” the event description reads on Facebook. “Rotterdam was built from the rubble by the people of Rotterdam, and we don’t just take that apart for the phallic symbol of a megalomaniac billionaire. Not without a fight!” 3,300 people have RSVP’d as going, and 11,600 are interested in the event.

When Bezos’s yacht, known as Y721, is delivered later this year—after the bridge is dismantled—the boat will become the world’s largest sailing yacht, a title that has been held for nearly a century by American socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post’s 1931 boat Sea Cloud.
Along with making history as the largest sailing yacht, Bezos’s Y271 is the longest yacht to have ever been built in the Netherlands, and Oceano’s largest ever superyacht. It is also rumored to come with a “support yacht,” also called a shadow vessel. The superyacht likely cost more than $500 million to build, per Bloomberg.
Bezos is also reportedly the owner of the Flying Fox, a $400 million megayacht.
Jeff Bezos to dismantle historic Dutch bridge for $450 million yacht
The Koningshaven Bridge was built in 1878 and repaired after bombing in World War II
Jeff Bezos will pay for Rotterdam to partially dismantle a nearly 145-year-old bridge so he can sail his $485 million super yacht out after finishing construction on the vessel.
The Oceanco shipyard in Alblasserdam near Rotterdam has nearly completed the construction of Y721, the former Amazon CEO’s yacht, but the vessel is too big to sail out with the bridge as it is. The builders asked the local council to remove the bridge’s central section so the yacht can pass.

“It’s the only route to the sea,” a spokesman for the mayor of Rotterdam told AFP, adding that billionaire Bezos, 57, would pay for the operation. The super yacht, which will be the largest boat built in Oceanco and one of the largest ever built, requires a 130-foot clearance, at least, to pass through.

The Koningshaven Bridge, known to locals as De Hef, dates from 1878 but was rebuilt after the Nazis bombed it in 1940 during World War II. The local council replaced the original swing bridge design after several traffic jams and collisions, changing it to a lifting bridge.

The shipbuilders dismissed suggestions that they sail a partially-finished vessel down the river and finish it elsewhere. Marcel Walravens, who managed the renovation, said it would prove impractical.

“If you carry out a big job somewhere, you want all your tools in that place,” Walravens told Rijnmond. “Otherwise you have to go back and forth constantly.”
