“Originally Carl abd Doretha were buried under a huge bay tree there and bodies later moved to the Union Cemetary “during the dark of night” my mother used to tell us.”
I have told people who were close to me, that my family did not tell me my mother was dying, and I missed saying goodbye to her by eighteen hours. I also told these people I was not told my father had died. I found out three years later by a kindred doing our genealogy. It took me seven years to find out where Rosemary Rosamond was buried. Here is her grave, located in a military cemetery in San Francisco. My mother served in the Waves up in Seattle, spying on the Russians. She shared some secrets, and gave her older children warnings about the Cold War. This Rose of the World, was brilliant. She did hear me say I might have two children, just before she died. She would be amazed at the history I have uncovered. She would have gone into shock if she had seen the Stuttmeister tombs.
I will be contacting ‘Finding Your Roots’ that airs on OPB, to help me with the most astounding genealogical stories of all time. I posted on the Belmont Historical Society Facebook, and after three days did not get a response. I wondered if members were combing through my blog, cherry-picking what THEY CAN USE, then, hope I go away in frustration. Three days was enough time. I got a smart phone two years ago and I get pinged with the posting of everything on Facebook. Was this system in place three years ago. When a administrator responded, I was never asked to become a member. Genealogy is the No. 1 pastime in the world. Did I do something wrong? Did someone rule I was not their kind of people?
Yesterday I did the genealogy of my kin, Adelia Janke who contributed to a previous author who wrote some of the history of Belmont. Her grandmother, Elizabeth Dorothy Janke, came around the Horn – when she was four years old – in 1848-49. How come we don’t read her history, she proclaimed the youngest Forty-Niner? I wondered if the Belmont historians were hiding something. When I read Carl and Dorothy were dug up in the middle of the night – because folks wanted to build atop their graves – I wondered if I could reclaim that FAMILY LAND. I found a lot of my kin I did not know I had, They ived in Belmont, San Carlos and SF.
I then posted on Senator Kamala Harris, born in Oakland. I made plans with Ed Howard’s brother to drive me to the naval cemetery to see my parents graves for the first time. I was going to see Ed’s film on Oakland history. I use the term AWAKEN in my prophetic post on Putin. I might be the inventor of WOKE. It appears the Belmont Historians – hated WOKE before they learned it was a term.
All my kin buried in my family crypt, were dug up and evicted from the Oddfellows cemetery. They were doing WOKE on the Confederate Traitors, while singing their song they probably sang in Twin Pines Park where they shot their Germania Rifles. There’s a good chance I am kin to some of the children standing at the base of The Great Oak Tree!

“Buchanan says he was “startled to read” recently that among the World Council of Families’ “‘ten best trends’ in the world in 2013, number one was ‘Russia Emerges as Pro-Family Leader.’”
“While the other super-powers march to a pagan world-view,” Buchanan quotes the WCF’s Allan Carlson, “Russia is defending Judeo-Christian values. During the Soviet era, Western communists flocked to Moscow. This year, World Congress of Families VII will be held in Moscow, Sept. 10-12.”
“Will Vladimir Putin give the keynote?” asks Buchanan.
Harris served as the junior U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021; she defeated Loretta Sanchez in the 2016 Senate election to become the second African-American woman and the first South Asian American to serve in the U.S. Senate
Kamala Harris has made history as the first female, first black and first Asian-American US vice-president.
She was sworn in just before Joe Biden took the oath of office to become the 46th US president.
Ms Harris, who is of Indian-Jamaican heritage, initially ran for the Democratic nomination.
But Mr Biden won the race and chose Ms Harris as his running mate, describing her as “a fearless fighter for the little guy”.
The source said she had always been planning to leave the building at that time. And associates of Harris, who has faced many personal threats against her over her career, said she has a history of declining to share her whereabouts when asked, often citing safety concerns.
When Elizabeth Dorothy Janke was born on 14 November 1844, in Hamburg, Germany, her father, Carl August Janke, was 24 and her mother, Dorothea, was 24. She had at least 1 son and 6 daughters with Amassa Parker Johnson. She lived in Belmont, San Mateo, California, United States in 1880. She died on 20 January 1929, in San Francisco, California, United States, at the age of 84, and was buried in Colma, San Mateo, California, United States.
I posted much history about my German Ancestors on the Facebook of the Belmont Historical Society, and got no response after three days. I then posted on the Marin Cadettes and the Black Panthers. I suggested a Militia be formed around Vice President Kamala Harris, who was born in Oakland where Jack London grew up. My reasoning was, that from the Janke family of Belmont sprang MY FAMOUS FAMILY HISTORY including our marriage into the Benton-Fremont family, and the Getty-Fleming family.
Greg Presco I set out to get funding for the first time. The Awake Ones have got to invent a real way to fund. I have been preparing the way for Kamala for two years.
Here is the come-on. The City of Belmont offers free membership to THE Belmont Historical Society IF POTENTIAL BUYERS ATTEND the book signing ceremony for the book CYNTHIA KARPA McCARTHY wrote 2014. Why didn’t the city, the society, and Cynthia, get on google to see if anyone had copyrighted some of this history – before they singed off on it, gave their signature and O.K.? I have every reason to suspect they went into my archives via the search, and found my copyrighted material. THEY knew what was going on, and kept me in the dark. Then THEY threatened me and GASLIGHTED me. Never in the annals of History Keeping, has such an outrage occurred. I am actively seeking an attorney. I have a right to affix my name to my family history and have it publicly displayed with other history pertinent to my family. How did McCarthy come to own – MY HISTORY? Who sold it to her?
Here is Cynthia saying my family history is not – that important. Then she says there is no competition – after I sensed there was. Finally, she mentions a copyright which causes me to google her, and discover she wrote a book on Belmont that THE CITY helped promote.
“We are related to historic people somewhere.
Belmont Historical Society, Belmont, CA sent Today at 9:39 AM
“There’s no competition, for Pete’s sake.“
Belmont Historical Society, Belmont, CA sent Today at 9:39 AM
“Maybe your friend the editor can explain copyright to you.“
I just sent this to the City Council”
As of 3-23-21 I can no longer post on your Belmont History site. I want to make you aware I copyrighted the name Carl Janke and his history with my kin, the Stuttmeisters, in 2012, two years before McCarthy published her history of Belmont. I found an advertisement for my copyrighted material and family history on a Belmont City site, where if one comes to the book signing of McCarthy’s book, they get free membership in the Belmont Historical Society – that gave me a very hard time when I posted my history there – it all taken down. Has the City of Belmont captured my copyrighted history, or, are they just helping Cynthia McCarthy sell it?
I was going to send an e-mail to a woman at the San Mateo Historical Society, but then found this article on the monument Germany is considering of an American Veteran, Carl Schurz. I was going to point out the remains of my Janke grandparents being dug up and moved to the Union Cemetery in the middle of the night. If I had received anything that resembled a civil greeting from any member of Belmont Historical Society, I might have visited the Union Cemetery this very day – that Nikki Haley called our VP “unprofessional and unfit” . I suspect I was snubbed by the BHS because I posted some Oakland History of Kamala Harris. Politics makes up a huge chunk of our history. I just posted on my Patriot Rosamond Family who owned slaves in South Carolina where Haley got votes. I wrote Ursula von der Leyen about this matter – which is a huge world concern – and can not be constricted by teeny tiny prejudiced members of the BHS.I am done with the Lilliputians!
I believe that is a image of William Janke taken in Twin Pines Park. His daughter, Augustus Janke, married William Stuttmeister. He moved our family to Cypress Lawn after our graves were dug up and evicted from the Odd Fellows cemetery. That is the Stuttmeister monument in Berlin with a replica of a famous statue of Jesus.

My ancestors were wealthy Prussians. Were they investors in Prussia’s attempt to purchase California, that did not happen possibly due to the Revolutions of 1848? Did some Germans realize California could be had by a intensive migration? The six million dollars could be used to buy portable homes, and other necessities. The chances Count Cipriani purchased a portable home from Carl Janke, is high. Unless he brought one in his wagon train.The Jankes were members of the California Fusiliers. Did they have any contact with my kin, John Fremont, who was talked out of founding a new nation in the West during the Civil War. Consider the Manifest Destiny propaganda of his father-in-law and John Astor, who paid Washington Irving to author a propaganda novel that clamed the right of Americans to take the Oregon Territory – from BRITISH ROYALS. Astor launched a financial conquest of China – that could be the model for China today! If they take over Central America, will they manufacture Chinese cocaine after exterminating the criminal cartel and all gangs south of the border? Texans would be – pleased as punch! As long as China does not take away their right not to wear masks – or their guns! What about – their God? China could get its powerful think tank to invent a Cocaine Jesus for anti-Democratic cult followers, who will honor the day the Democrats cheated them our of their birth right with fake elections. To the Chinese, we look like members of a superstitious Cargo Cult, we easy pickens when it comes to….Divide and Conquer.

The ‘German Rifles’
Pictured below are water color sketches by Private Henry Berckhoff of the 8th New York “German Rifles” May 27, 1861 to May 23, 1863. The Eighth New York participated in several significant battles, including the Second Battle of Bull Run (Second Manassas). There were 524,509 total known deaths in the Civil War: 359,528 Union and 164,981 Confederate.
Henry Berckhoff was a twenty-year-old young man when he enlisted as a Union soldier during the war. He became a private in the Eighth New York Volunteer Infantry, Company B, which was also known as the First German Rifles and was composed of approximately 1,000 German immigrants. Berckhoff sketched pictures he later colored and bound together. When The Eighth New York’s term expired in April 1863, Berckhoff then served with Company A of the Fifth New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry until the end of the war. He continued to serve in the military until his retirement in February 1894. These drawings represent the early years of Berckhoff’s military career.
Under the command of General Louis Blenker, the Eighth New York Volunteers marched off to war in the spring of 1861 to the cheers of German-Americans and other New Yorkers lining Broadway. They were unique among volunteer regiments in that they had an artillery unit plus a medical detachment with ambulances. The soldiers had two uniforms: a regular blue uniform and a distinctive gray dress uniform. Their park-like Washington, D.C. camp, with the soldiers’ tents in orderly rows separated by tree lined lanes between each division’s regiment, was actually a tourist attraction.
1861 newspaper article: “Parade of the New York Twentieth German (Turner Rifles) Regiment”:
This noble regiment, which is composed of German Turners, who are most proverbial in Faderland for their accuracy in bringing down anything at which they point their rifles, had a parade yesterday through the city without arms. They formed opposite Turtle Bay Park in Forty-third street, where they have been quartered since they became embodied, about half past two o’clock, and started about three for the City Hall Park, by the following route: Down Second avenue to Fortieth street, through Third avenue to Twenty-second street, through Twenty-second street to Sixth avenue, on to Twenty-first street, up Twenty-first street to Broadway and down Broadway to the City Hall, where a large concourse of people had assembled to see them. All along the route the Rifles were encouraged in the most flattering manner.
More than the usual quorum of the German element was observed along the streets where the soldiers passed with firm tread and martial mein, and soft voices, which once rang musical along the gorgeous Rhine, were heard singing out their appreciation of their countrymen. Broadway, always effervescing cauldron of public excitement, bore an appearance which to a looker on at a distance, would undoubtedly appear gay and fascinating but not to one commingling with the crowd of uniformed and uniformed humanity who kept surging on in great excitement, crushing crinolines in all of citizens and demolishing the corns of fastidious gentlemen with tight patent leathers. On arriving in the park the Rifles broke into column, and wheeled out into Tyron row amid the plaudits of those who witnessed their admirable movements. They then took their departure for Turtle Bay Park via the Third and Second avenues. It is due to the Twentieth regiment of German Rifles to say that they are as staunch and compact a body of men as ever your reporter saw. Their officers are a body of men who may be said to hold no mean position in point of military science; and, on the whole, we are confident that the Stars and Stripes will suffer no unrequited indignity in their presence. (End)
The old song “Morgenrot” originally by Friedrich Silcher with lyrics by Wilhelm Hauf was very popular among the German-speaking units in the Civil War.Dieses Lied war oft gesungen bei die Deutsch-sprachigen Kämpfer in dem Amerikianischen Bürgerkrieg.
Morgenrot, Morgenrot, Leuchtest mir zum frühen Tod? Bald wird die Trompete blasen, Dann muß ich mein Leben lassen, Ich und mancher Kamerad! Kaum gedacht, kaum gedacht, Wird der Lust ein End gemacht! Gestern noch auf stolzen Rossen, Heute durch die Brust geschossen, Morgen in das kühle Grab!
Wearing a sprig of evergreen, considered a symbol of eternal life, on one’s cap or coat at a funeral was a German custom. Their fallen comrades were laid to rest with a bouquet of evergreen placed in their hands, and as the procession passed, they dropped their sprigs of evergreens into the graves. That would close the ceremonies.
One of the biggest mistakes of my life was to not walk thru that tunnel to the Oakland Coliseum in 1961 to see Bobby Blue Bland. Bobby was my man. I had made plans to see Ed Howard’s film, but, I got stuck in the middle of ‘The Tunnel of Fear’ and had nothing nice to say about Oakland. I didn’t go. I and my friends feared for my life. I did not mean to tempt fate, but, there it was, lurking in the dark, waiting for me. Ed said he snuck into the Oakland and Paramount theatres. Was it to see that strange introduction of the movie ‘House of Usher’? I believe Roger Coreman appeared on stage to warn us we might suffer heart attacks. They had a cable coming down from the balcony on which slid a skeleton. This film is of historic significance. So, here is the Tunnel of Racial Fear. If a white boy went down in there, a black boy would cut you ear to ear with a razor. The whole design was a set-up. Blacks didn’t go down there unless they scare a white, who will freak out – and go crazy on them! After encircling the Oakland Coliseum with fast roads, they stuck that tunnel in so you could leave the beautiful safe shore of Lake Merritt, and go to thy doom. Of course me and my best friend, Bill Arnold, found many good reasons to go down in that tunnel – late at night. “As artists, we are obligated to go where normal people fear to go!” And, there it is, the ‘Oakland Bohemian Motto’. Were there such a thing as a Black Bohemians? Ed said he was one of the first Oakland Lowriders. But, he became a designer, an artist of sorts. In this photograph you see the tunnel, and the apartment where the Black Panthers lived in a penthouse. Huey knew about the Beats. He studied history. Being innovative was a big part of the New Oakland Cool. We crossed lines. We crashed through barriers. Our history is one of the most culturally interesting experiences the world has ever seen. The Black Panther exhibit at the Oakland Museum was the most viewed show, ever, and was held over for – an encore! http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/huey-newton-twenty-five-floors-from-the-street-i-lost-my-capacity-to-hate-i-just-disagree-19720803
I have been awake in a nation of sleepers. Trump is a Rich Kid New York Thug who always wanted Hit Men and a motorcycle gang, like Putin. When you have it all, since birth, what you really want is the Cloak of Invisibility and to be Above The Law.
Here is a repost from April 2014.
Seer Jon
Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the second-highest ranking Democrat in the Senate, slammed President Trump for his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being “dazzled” by strongmen around the world.
“This president is totally dazzled by Vladimir Putin, by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, by authoritarian leaders in countries like Brazil,” Durbin said on “Face the Nation” Sunday. “He gets on the phone with them and loses it, gets all googly eyed over their assertions that they have nothing to with what’s going on in Venezuela.”
The Illinois Democrat referenced a telephone call between Mr. Trump and his Russian counterpart that lasted more than an hour on Friday. The president, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, discussed special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation “very briefly,” and only in the context that “it’s over” and found no “collusion.”
These are Putin’s Knight Wolves, his Crusader Army in disguise.

April 07, 2014, 05:27 pm God and Putin: Pat Buchanan’s startling insight
By Bernie Quigley
“Russia is remaking itself as the leader of the anti-Western world,” says author Masha Gessen, who has written a book on Russian President Vladimir Putin. “But the war to be waged is not with rockets,” writes conservative columnist Pat Buchanan. “It is a cultural, social, moral war where Russia’s role, in Putin’s words, is to ‘prevent movement backward and downward, into chaotic darkness and a return to a primitive state.’”
Buchanan says he was “startled to read” recently that among the World Council of Families’ “‘ten best trends’ in the world in 2013, number one was ‘Russia Emerges as Pro-Family Leader.’”
“While the other super-powers march to a pagan world-view,” Buchanan quotes the WCF’s Allan Carlson, “Russia is defending Judeo-Christian values. During the Soviet era, Western communists flocked to Moscow. This year, World Congress of Families VII will be held in Moscow, Sept. 10-12.”
“Will Vladimir Putin give the keynote?” asks Buchanan.
It is a stunning possibility. The West, says Buchanan, has capitulated to “a sexual revolution of easy divorce, rampant promiscuity, pornography, homosexuality, feminism, abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, assisted suicide — the displacement of Christian values by Hollywood values.”
“In the new ideological Cold War,” he asks, “whose side is God on now?”
But how much of the decadent “West” which Buchanan well describes actually defines America? Does it, for example, accurately describe the South, Texas, the Lutheran Midwest, Mormon Utah and the Southwest? Vast sweeps would identify with the World Council of Families and shockingly, with Putin and with Christian Russia. Evangelical leader Franklin Graham has recently said as much.
Buchanan’s decadent West suggests instead an evolved and expanded state of Henry James’s novel The Bostonians more than 120 years on now, and the “plain living and high thinking” Miss Birdseye, who James describes as “a confused, entangled, inconsequent, discursive old woman,” and the historical archetype of “Boston reformers consisting of woman’s rights people, mesmerists, spirituality, utopians and faded abolitionists,” as described in C. Vann Woodward’s classic study of the Gilded Age in The Burden of Southern History.
They came to dominance here, there and everywhere, early on under William Lloyd Garrison’s anthem “Our country is the world. Our countrymen all of mankind.” They dominate still, an archaic residue of the northern military victory of the 1860s.
The northeastern families and their law schools and parlors still vastly influence culture and political temperament. They still bring their families even in triplicate to presidential races and incomprehensibly, supply the legal education of virtually every Supreme Court justice on the Supreme Court even today. Virginia, Duke, Michigan, Texas and Vanderbilt are still not good enough after all this time?
What if the country people today, the Baptists in the South, the Methodists in Texas, the Presbyterians, evangelicals and fundamentalists in the hills of Billy Graham’s Appalachia, simply turned away from New England dominance and tradition? Turned instead to an older tradition and an external leader like Putin to find a better path?
Jefferson, Washington and Franklin did as much when they turned to the French to defend against an actual blood relative who had suddenly become an annoyance. But possibly an American contender in 2016 — Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) — would do just as well as Putin.
The politicians, from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), are still stuck in “Munich” since the invasion of Crimea. So is Wall Street. But Russia could shake the world again. And Putin’s Christian Russia will play differently in Dillon, Texas, today where they baptize in the river and watch high school football on Friday nights, than it will in Miss Birdseye’s antiquated, antipodal Boston salon.

A Ukrainian Security Service officer has been killed and five others wounded in the eastern city of Slovyansk, officials from Ukraine’s interim government said Sunday. The casualty comes after Ukraine pledged a “very tough” response to those occupying government buildings.
A pro-Russian group seized police headquarters in Slovyansk Saturday in an operation that followed a similar pattern to events in Donetsk and Luhansk, where activists remain in control of government buildings. Police reportedly stopped forces from occupying buildings in other towns this weekend.
