After banning burials, San Francisco, on November 21, 1910, took the next step and banned cremations within city limits.6 The same year, the United States Supreme Court upheld the City’s ban on burials.7 Although it would not be until the 1930s before the City began forcing Odd Fellows and other cemeteries to remove bodies, the end was nigh. Relatives of the deceased at Odd Fellows Cemetery were given notice in 1912 to move their loved ones. Charles de Young, as one example, was moved to Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma. In 1932, some 26,000 graves were moved from the Odd Fellows Cemetery to Green Lawn Cemetery.

The Heligoland Gold Rush
Summoning The Muse of Sir Sterling London Joaquin Lord de Rosemond
Posted on January 21, 2014 by Royal Rosamond Press
During the Summer of Love, and the renewal of Bohemian activity in the Bat Area on a grand scale, only I seemed to be aware of Sterling, London, and Joaquin ‘The Trail Blazers’ who had gone before us into the wilderness, and carved out Bohemian Sanctuaries, groves, wherein we worshipped the Queen of Druids – our Grand Bohemian Muse!
“Hail Brother Bohemians – Lovers of the Grand Beloved Muse!”
With the return of the Muse that Bill and I followed, and who rendered my late sister a world famous artist, can the re-capture of the Creative Spirit that has fallen into hands of the Un-Creative of the World – commence!
In discovering that my great grandfather, Carl Janke, was the first to build a Bohemian Community and Retreat in Belmont California – that he co-founded – put my family history next door to the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio.
Five years ago after learning Rena Easton was married to a Commodore, and lived in the Isle of Wight, I had fantasies of what happened after we met. After my friend Bryan drops us off in Oakland – after he tried to kidnap Rena on Pismo Beach – I drive her down to the Oakland Estuary where my seventy foot yacht is moored. WE are now all alone down in the industrial train yards. There is not a soul around. I take her hand and guide her aboard. We go down below where I perform a superb removal of her apprehension. Why shouldn’t she be leery of this dark sailor man, this Hermit of the Sea.
Above is a photo of my small sailboat that I lived on. I was a tad ashamed to show it, until Rena told me in her letter about her small dwelling.
When Rosemary was showing us the family photos, her children perked up when we beheld these antique people having a picnic in the Oakland Redwoods where we used to have picnics.
“Who are these people, mother?”
“Those are your father’s people, the Bohunks.”
“Bohunks!” We exclaimed. “What’s a Bohunk?”
“Bohunks are Bohemians.” our mother answered with some concern.
What harm could it do these innocent children to know they have Bohunk blood in their veins? As long as they never learn my father was a Hillbilly, smitten by a Redneck Muse that he named ‘Ravola of Thunder Mountain’.
I am a very Lucky Man!

There were old growth redwood trees near Belmont and Redwood city that were harvested. Carl Janke built his theme park on Belmont Creek a watershed that came down from the hills. This was an ideal habitation for giant redwoods that could be seen by sailors on the bay. It must have been an incredible and beautiful sight that would have appealed to a German who traitinally love the forests.
“In the hundred years since the Huddart Park area was logged, a new forest of redwoods and other trees have grown, covering much of the evidence of this early logging activity. However, still visible are large stumps of the virgin redwoods and “skid roads” over with the teams of oxen dragged logs to the sawmills.
If Janke brought his six portable houses around the Cape on a Clipper in 1848, instead of 1849 as some say, then Carl did not do so to sell them to gold miners who struck it rich, but to create a utopian city and haven for people all over the world who would come to behold these giant redwoods. Were the founders of Bohemian Grove inspired by Janke’s Turnverien free-thinker dream? Jack London, George Sterling, and Joaquin Miller, were members of the Bohemian Grove. Miller knew the Stuttmeisters who had a farm down the hill from ‘The Heights’ where artists and poets met. Miller wrote ‘City Beautiful’ . Above are photos of the Stuttmeisters and Brodericks having a picnic in the redwoods. Miller planted trees all over the Oakland Hills. The Stuttmeisters built forty home in Fruit Vale on streets they named after trees. Here are your Hobbits, your Gandalf’s, your Magical Men that made California a Mecca for those who use their mind, believe thinking is the best way to travel.
Dr. William O. Stuttmesiter is the gentleman with white hair and dark mustache. He played violen for the Oakland Symphony.

Janke’s park offered all the necessary provisions for an outdoor holiday, which included a dance pavilion to accommodate 300 large glassless windows, a conical roof and a dance floor situated around a large spreading tree. The pavilion was also equipped with a bar, an ice cream parlor and a restaurant.
Months after my sister’s death I went to the Sacramento Library and looked at microfish about a legal battle between the heirs of Carl Janke’s estate in Belmont that appeared in the San Francisco Call. I lost the copy I made of that article that I am certain mentioned William O. Stuttmeister, and the sisters of Augusta Stuttmeister-Janke. Carl’s sons did not want Minni and Cornillia, to have anything, and one brother (or cousin) took their side, and was cut out. This has to be William, or W. JANKE. “The bride was attended by Miss Alice Stuttmeister, a sister of the groom, and Miss Minnie Janke, a sister of the bride, as bridesmaids, and Dr. Muldownado and Wm. Janke, a cousin of the bride, were groomsmen.” When Victor Presco turned twenty-one, the the Janke spinsters offered him a moving company in San Francesco. Apparently they saw him as the heir to the Stuttmiester legacy, and the Hope of a return to former glory because they had no children. How about their brother, William? Rosemary said this; “Your father was a made man.” Two days ago, in an e-mail, my cousin Daryl Bulkley confirmed my suspicions that ‘Stuttmeister’ was not the original name of the folks from Berlin. I suspect they were a branch of the Glucksburg family who became Calvinist Evangelicals, and perhaps Rosicrucians. In the top photo we see Minni and Corniallia Janke in the family vault that William Stuttmeister purchased for $10,000 dollars to put the reains of the Jankes and Stuttmeisters in after they were evicted from the Oddfellow cemetery. That William Ralston was a Oddfellow that put up a large sum of money to establish the Oddfellows in Germany – and perhaps elsewhere – makes me wonder about his alleged suicide by plunging into the bay. I am reading articles on the internet about the Oddfellows being the founders of the Welfare State in America, where being charitable to the poor, the infirmed, and the widows, was paramount. They also paid much attention to burying their dead, which suggests they believed in a different hereafter. As a theologian I have pointed out the strange raising of the dead in Matthew 27:53 at the very moment of Jesus’ alleged death.
I suspect Judas was given thirty pieces of silver to purchase Jesus’ tomb, and Jesus was about to practice the ancient Judaic ritual called of the RESUSCITATION, where the soul of the diseased enters the body of another. I believe this is why those who take the Nazarite Vow are bid to keep their distance from the dead. That the Oddfellows titled women as Rebekahs, suggests they are Rechabites, who have been associated with the Nazarites who composed the first Christian church called “The Church of God”. That Jesus came to be seen as God “the Father” is a usurpation that began with Paul of Tarsus. That the fall of the Oddfellows in the Bay Area happened overnight, and all traces of their demise, all but disappeared, tells me there was a real Judas and purge. That Daryl pointed out in her research that we knew next to nothing about the Stuttmeisters, whose tomb was lost until seven years ago, tells me William Stuttmeister retired to the Geronimo Valley a disillusioned man, who played a rare violin, and left his Stuttmeister-Janke legacy to his housekeeper. And then he is dead, his remains put in the vault that I went to visit with my daughter and grandson. Before I left for California I told my friend Joy Gall, that I wanted a AA coin to put in this tomb in honor of Christine Rosamond Benton whose funeral fell on he first sober birthday in AA. As I lined up to view my sister in her casket, I did consider the Nazarite Vow I took in 1989. As fate would have it, I ended up putting this coin in William Oltman Stuttmeisters crypt because there was an opening made by the earthquake of 1989.
On this coin is an Angel. In 1992 I began a biography of my family called ‘Bonds With Angels’. It begins with an account of the Blue Angel that appear at the foot of Christine’s bed that woke her and Vicki, who crawled into Christine’s bed and beheld her. Vicki was six years of age, and is clean and sober this day. The Nazarite Vow bids one to not ingest alcohol, not get drunk, so that the Holy Spirit may speak through you, use you as a Horn of Power to broadcast the Word of God. When I entered the tomb of my ancestors and sat down on the marble bench, I noticed the letter A made of brass lying behind the faux fern plant. I picked it up. It was the A in JANKE that had come lose in the earthquake. I looked up at the stained glass window and read; “In loving memory of my beloved wife, Augusta Stutteister,” Was Augusta the Angel that came to visit my sisters? May our bonds with Angels continue – forever more! Amen! Jon Presco Daily Alta California, Volume 42, Number 14175, 24 June 1888 STUTTMEISTER-JANKE. One of the most enjoyable weddings of the past week took place at Belmont, Wednesday morning last, the contracting parties being Miss Augusta Janke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Janke of Belmont,
and Dr. Wm. Stuttmeister of San Francisco. The house was handsomely decorated with a rich profusion of ferns and flowers, and at the appointed hour was filled with the relatives and intimate friends
of the contracting parties. At 11 o’clock the wedding march was played and the bridal party entered the parlor. The bride was attended by Miss Alice Stuttmeister, a sister of the groom, and Miss Minnie Janke, a sister of the bride, as bridesmaids, and Dr. Muldownado and Wm. Janke, a cousin of the bride, were groomsmen. The Rev. A. L. Brewer
of San Mateo performed the beautiful and impressive ceremony under an arch composed of flowers and greens very prettily arranged, after which the guests pressed forward and offered their congratulations. The bride was attired in a very pretty and becoming costume of the crushed strawberry shade, and wore a corsage bouquet of orange
blossoms. She carried a handsome bouquet of white flowers. After the guests had paid their compliments the bride and groom led the way to the dining-room, where the wedding dinner was served and the health
of the newly married pair was pledged. The feast over, the guests joined in the dance, and the hours sped right merrily, interspersed with music singing and recitations, until the bride and groom took their departure amid a shower of rice and good wishes. Many beautiful presents were received. Dr. and Mrs. Stuttmeister left Thursday morning for Santa Cruz and Monterey, where they will spend the honeymoon. On their return they will make their home in Belmont. 1911: Dr. Willian O. Stuttmeister was practicing dentistry in Redwood City, CA. (Reference: University of California, Directory of Graduates,

Historic Re-Installment at Belmont
Posted on June 6, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
“Originally Carl and Dorthea were buried under a huge Bay tree, and their bodies later moved to the Union cemetery “during the dark of the night” as my mother used to tell us.”
Four Generations of the Carl Janke Family were dug up from their final resting place – and put somewhere else. This is a Forty-niner Family. Dorothy Janke’s mother was born on the island of Heligoland, that means Holy Land. Heinrich Mutter may be her father. There should be a brass plaque on this island telling Dorothy’s People she was part of the Gold Rush, and was a California Pioneer. Did the Heligolandians pool their money together to go West and secure more land for future generations? People all over the world heard the gold was just lying there – in the streets! If the Belmont City Planners and Government – had not respected the dead for all those years – then there would not have been free land to grab and make a city park! Shall we title this….The Second Gold Rush….considering the price of real estate? Let us pray all the caring offspring of Carl and Dorothea – are dead – and don’t show up out of the blue to reclaim what is rightfully theirs to enjoy.
What I want!
- I want the ugly grassy shack on the hill.
- I want a 1950 Dodge Coronet like the one Rena and I drove around in.
- I want $3,000 a month to teach a course in Bohemianism.
- I want $400 dollars for appearances and dedication as the great grandson of Carl Janke.
- When I die I want to be buried next to Carl and our kin that are in Redwood city, in a small crypt attached to The Lodge in Twin Pines Park.
- I want skylights in the garage that will be my art studio.
- I want $50,000 dollars for furniture, utilities, and emergency, and a trip to Holland to study the Swan Brethren and my alleged ancestor, Gottschalk Rosemondt.
- I want the history of the Brethren, the Order of Saint Francis, and the the history of Notre Dame de Namur to be put in a small shrine with button to push to see video of the history.
- I want Stanford to conduct a complete study and file their finding with the City of Belmont.
Belmont City will buy this house and lease it to me for $1 dollar a month. They will make repairs. I expect to live another five years. The price of this home will double. When it is remodeled, it will be worth another half-million. After I die, it will be sold and the City of Belmont will recoup every cent they spent meeting my demands – and them some! I want a plaque…
The Last Bohemian lived here!”
Sure…I’ll be Santa in the Belmont Christmas Parade.
Consider the cost of eradicating the Nazis from the Holy Land. Jews are still looking for their ancestors buried in mass un-marked graves. I want Stanford to film the opening of the grave that contains three of my ancestors. Is archelogy taught at Stanford?
I awoke from my old man nap feeling I left something out. I will let the people of Berlin and Heligoland know William Stuttmeister save their combined bloodline by putting it in our crypt in Colma, and his great grandson saves us, once again. We are all….substantial, is the lesson! You will see our crypt thirty seconds into the video below. I’m going to join the Odd Fellow today.

Three Flags – One Grave
Posted on May 27, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
It is 8:33 A.M. May 27, 2023 – and I am still in shock having discovered my grandparents are buried in the same grave! I saw TWO flags put on one gravestone. That was a half hour ago. THEN – I see another flag! There are three of my ancestors buried in the same grave! WHY? Did the caretakers conclude this was a very poor family? William Stuttmeister knew they were Belmont before he died. At great expense to himself, he moved the Jankes to Colma after they were evicted from the Odd Fellow cemetery – at great expense! This was a wealthy pioneer family whose graves keep being defiled! They were moved to the Union cemetery i 1972?
I found Carl and Dorothea (also and Doretta) are buried at the Union Cemetary in Redwood City.

I just sent this message to Ursula van der Leyen the head of the European Commission:
“My ancestors are a Gold Rush family who came to California in 1849 from Hamburg, and the island of Heligoland. They brought six portable homes around the Cape and erected them in Belmont California that is near Stanford University where Commissioner von der Leyen attended college. I have found evidence of prejudice against Germans in Belmont. The graves of Cark Janke and his wife were dug up in the middle the night, and moved to another city. Janke Street was changed. The study of my family in Belmont has been oppressed. I am kin to Ian Fleming and am authoring a Bond novel, starring Victoria Rosemond Bond. I find Erdogan’s treatment of women, appalling.

Remarks: My father was the first to bring portable houses to the city. I believe two were erected where Sherman & Clays Music store now stands (Sutter & Kearney). One on Montgomery Street on part of the lot now occupied by the D.O Mills building and two on Folsom Street near First All were covered with slate roofs. My two brothers wore the flag of the Old Fusilier Guard. A building company called California Fusiliers (German) of which Colonel Little was the captain. My father also built and managed the first Turn Verein Hall situated on Bush Street near Powell. The hall was dedicated Christmas Eve and all the people of note in the city attended the exercises.
Mrs. Johnson passed away Jan. 20, 1829.
With the discovery of the Independent California Fusiliers, who may have been Turnverein and Oddfellows, one might suspect that some self-righteous Christians targeted my ancestors with their fake patriotic claptrap, and would want to obliterate all evidence they were PIONEERS! One member of the BHS asked me to limit my posts on their facebook to just Belmont History -knowing Carl built a Turnverein Hall in San Francisco. I assume he did not like my history of Vice President Kamala Harris, who was born in Oakland. Her parents may have known members of the Black Panthers, who were like California Fusiliers. These morons did not realize that all contact with me – is historic -and does go in the Public Record.

Prussia made early use of the title “fusilier” for various types of infantry. In 1705, the Foot Guards (Leibgarde zu Fuss) were designated as Fusilier Guards.[5] By 1837, low-quality infantry raised from garrison companies also were named fusiliers. These latter units were dressed in blue with low mitre caps.[6] Between 1740 and 1743 on Frederick the Great raised 14 separate Fusilier Regiments (numbers 33-40, 41-43 and 45-48).[7] Except for the mitre caps, these new regiments were identical in appearance, training and role to the existing line infantry (musketeers).

Today is the most exciting day of my long study. I found proof the Jankes were a Gold Rush family -and this fact has been oppressed and hidden – because their remains were dug up from where they rested in the grove of trees in Twin Pines Park in the middle of the night, and secretly moved to Redwood City. Citizens of Belmont objected to the removal of JANKE as the name of a street. Add to this outrage the removal of members of the Janke family -along with the Stuttmeisters – from the Oddfellow cemetery. Is this what members of the Belmont Historical Society was hiding from me? I found another source for images of my family in the Daily News, and a source I will keep a secret – unless the Grave Robbers are not done!

Doris is my kin. Why didn’t Cathryn McCarthy, and other members of the Belmont Historical Society, tell me Doris wrote a history book, titled “Belmont” – As We Remember It. It is obvious MY FAMILY feels the oppression of OUR HISTORY and wants to make sure OUR VERSION is recorded. This is – AN OUTRAGE! My attorney is going to make this FACT very clear; Doris prayed one of her kin would take an interest in the history she compiled – and add to it! I posted on the Union Cemetery and that post was removed in a vile act of desecration and censorship. I only found Doris’s letters – yesterday! This is a COVERUP. Members of the BHS dug a fresh grave – and threw me and my history in it. They tried to bury me – alive! The trauma I feel – is extreme! I have been in therapy for the same thing being done to I and my famous sister’s history.

I found my Atlantis from where my possible DNA, hail. A test should be made. Dorothy Peterson-Janke was born on the island of Heligoland, that means Holy Land. She might have been a British Subject. Did Janke live on Holy Land Island, too? Did other citizens of Holy Land come around the Horn with the portable houses – because they needed room – a new land for their offspring? Was a colony established in Belmont, that was first named Waterview? When you live on a island, you have a view of the water – all around you.
Plans were made to build a major port in Belmont called ‘San Francisco Port’. The Jankes appear to have made enemies. Did they found New Heligoland in 1849 – before California became a State? This place was seen as the Nazi Atlantis. There was a horrendous battle over it. A super bomb was made – and dropped on his in order to wipe it off the map! Did the enemies of the Jankes – mock them after this D-Day Bomb destroyed the Motherland?
I have a dream, a vision. I am destined to live on Holy Land Island that is the real Fantasyland! Consider the gathering of our first Science Fiction Writers on Santa Cruz Island. The Janke theme park – was the first Disneyland. I am wondering if the Cimri trilbe, and their Queen, ended up on Holy Land Island. Did hey claim descent from Mary Magdalene?
I founded the New Falcon Art College in Belmont. How many citizens of Heligoland came around the Horn with the Janke portable houses? Is there a hidden lineage in California? I suspect The People of The Holy Land had a colony in Hamburg that helped support the Mother Holy Land. With the revolutions of 1848 there might have been a call for….
The Exodus From The Holy Land! Prussia did make an offer to purchase California.

For six years I have pondered why there is a wreath and a rifle hanging in the tree at the picnic of the Stuttmeister- Janke – Broderick Picnic. I believe that is William Janke sitting on a tree stump, a head above the others. These are Oddfellows who traditionally come sit amongs their dead. I believe the wreath is honoring Carl and Dorthea Janke who are by feet away, they at rest in their eternal park they maketh, their Garden of Eden.
I now launch a campaign to make Harry and Magan Windsor, the King and Queen of Heligoland, and this New Kingdom, become a member of the European Union – which in theory – must contain California! Here is the Gone With The Wind Story In The West! How many times did the enemies of The Holylanders – try to starve them out?
I will now fashion a cote of arms for The New Holy Landers with this motto….
“during the dark of the night”
In the ending scene of Gone With The Wind, we see Scarlet O’Hara rising from the graveyard of Her People. Where are their tombstones?
We now return our souls to the creator,
as we stand on the edge of eternal darkness.
Let our chant fill the void,
in order that others may know.
In the land of the night,
the ship of the sun,
is drawn by the grateful dead.

Helgoland, also spelled Heligoland, island, Schleswig-Holstein Land (state), northwestern Germany. It lies in the German Bay (Deutsche Bucht) of the North Sea, in the angle between the coast of Schleswig-Holstein and the estuaries of the Jade, Weser, and Elbe rivers, 40 miles (65 km) offshore northwest of Cuxhaven. The 520-acre (210-hectare) island consists of a level, cliff-girded, red sandstone plateau, called the Oberland (184 feet [56 metres] at its highest point); a smaller, low sandy tract in the southeast, the Unterland, extended by reclamation; and a low sandy island 0.25 mile (0.4 km) east, called Düne. Geological and historical evidence suggest that Helgoland and Düne are the last remnants of a single island whose periphery in AD 800 was about 120 miles (190 km). Continuous wave attack on the cliffs and a rise in sea level or fall in land level had reduced the island’s periphery to about 8 miles (13 km) by 1649. It has an oceanic climate with mild winter temperatures.

Heligoland, and the inhabitants were evacuated to the mainland. During World War II, the Nazis fortified the island further and constructed a submarine base. In April 1945 the British Royal Air Force dropped around 7,000 bombs on the diminutive island fortress, making it uninhabitable. You can now take a tour of the five-floor bunker system located underneath the island.
After the war, the island came under British control again. They used it for bombing practice before finally detonating about 7,385 tons of explosives under it in 1947. One of the biggest non-nuclear explosions in history, this “Big Bang” was intended to get rid of thousands of unexploded bombs. The British were ready to accept the total annihilation of the territory. Lluckily for the native Heligolanders in exile on the mainland, the plucky islet survived. However, it did change the geography of the island, dividing it into Oberland, Mittelland, and Unterland.
In 1952, a slightly slimmed down Heligoland was returned to Germany and the former inhabitants moved back to reconstruct their tiny homeland, which had survived against all odds, albeit in a slightly different shape.
Heligoland is actually made up of two islands – Hauptinsel (main island) and the small island, Düne. Düne is not permanently inhabited by humans but is home to lots of seals. The airport is also located on Düne.

This 1843 painting by Rudolf Jordan suggests strongly the strong maritime influence of the island. Although a fashionable spa had been created in 1826, the maritime heritage was thought to underpin the core appeal of this British colony even to German tourists and visitors. it The painter himself was something of a German radical who became caught up in the 1848 Revolutions.
Heligoland Colony (Helgoland) (britishempire.co.uk)
he island was certainly useful to the Royal Navy for the remainder of the Napoleonic Wars, but its continued ownership after the war was by no means guaranteed. Heligoland would find itself trussed up as a bargaining chip with other Danish and Scandinavian territories. Britain was keen to keep the tiny island but returned other Danish islands and saw that Norway was entrusted to Sweden in what was known as the Treaty of Kiel. This would be the constitutional basis for British ownership of the island for the next 76 years.
The British, under Lord Salisbury, finally agreed to an elaborate deal to increase Britain’s influence and control in Central and Eastern Africa in return for Germany regaining control and sovereignty of Heligoland. Basically, Britain was to receive primacy in Uganda,Kenya, and Zanzibar in return for the small island. Queen Victoria herself was less than impressed with the trade and did attempt to scupper it. However, Salisbury managed to convince her of the merits of the deal and persevered in seeing it through. Principally he was content to keep German colonial ambitions under control and prevent them becoming yet another colonial rival alongside the much more vociferous French. It was also hoped that this deal would herald something of an Anglo-German rapprochement and bring the two economies closer together. It should be noted however, that the Heligolanders were not consulted over who should be their overlords and they were handed over regardless.
On the 9th August, 1890, the Union Jack was taken down for the last time. The following day the Kaiser arrived on the island and claimed it for Germany. The island was duly militarised and turned into a German naval base. At first, this held little concern for the British especially given the size of their Royal Navy. However, with the publication of the Tirpitz Plan in 1898 which explicitly stated Germany’s plans for its Navy to challenge the Royal Navy, the British soon realised that Heligoland might play an important role in facilitating this strategic ambition. Writers like H.G. Wells and Erskine Childers incorporated Heligoland into their pre-war writings as an example of the Germanic menace that threatened freedom. The Island began to take on a more sinister role for the British especially now that it was no longer under their administration.
The Nazis built naval facilities which were extensive enough to have held virtually the entire German High Seas Fleet if necessary. Ultra thick submarine pens were constructed of reinforced concrete designed to withstand the biggest bombs of the time. They constructed a brand new harbour and built myriad tunnels and shelters deep into the rocks. Huge quantities of provisions and ammunition were supplied to the island as it was required to be self sufficient in case it was cut off from the mainland. In the end though, it was not so much as a naval base that it would prove itself useful to the Third Reich but as a support point for the Luftwaffe and later still to monitor incoming Allied bombing formations

Ursula von der Leyen says Turkey chair snub happened ‘because I am a woman’ – CNN
(CNN)European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said sexism was to blame for an incident where she was left awkwardly standing while her male colleague sat during her last visit to Turkey earlier this month.
Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s meeting with the European Union’s two presidents raised eyebrows after von der Leyen was left standing while her male counterparts settled into two gilded chairs at the focal point of the room.
Von der Leyen told the European Parliament on Monday that she could not find “any justification” for the way she was treated, adding: “So, I have to conclude that it happened because I am a woman.”
“I am the first woman to be President of the European Commission. I am the President of the European Commission, and this is how I expected to be treated when visiting Turkey two weeks ago, like a commission president, but I was not,” she said.
“I am the president of the European Commission, and this is how I expected to be treated when visiting Turkey two weeks ago — like a commission president. But I was not,” she told European Union lawmakers Monday. “I cannot find any justification for what I was treated in the European treaties. So, I have to conclude that it happened because I am a woman.”
It was a sharp rebuke to a country with whom relations are already tense. Two days after the incident, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called criticism over the incident “unfair” and said that “the seating arrangements were made in line with the E.U. suggestion.”

Hieronymus Bosch is famous for his intricate and macabre visions of hell. But have you ever noticed this bizarre ditty painted on a poor sinner’s naked behind in his most famous painting?
Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights (c. 1490-1510) is a three-part painting showing the Garden of Eden on the left and a vision of hell on the right.
The central panel is something sort of in between – with some frankly crackers animals added for good measure.
Like these ones:
ANYWAY, we’re not here for the giant owls or even the couple having a great time in a mussel shell.
Read more: The ‘Shame Flute’ was used to punish bad musicians in the Middle Ages >
We’re here for MUSIC.
In the vision of hell, there’s a special place reserved for musical instruments (THANKS BOSCH) including a harp, a lute and some sort of woodwind instrument.
There’s also a book of sheet music and a demon whose role, it seems, is to imprint music on sinner’s naked bums with his weird note-shaped tongue.
That’s the best I can do by way of explanation. Here’s a close up:
A music student called Amelia transcribed the music using modern notation and posted it on Tumblr and now you can hear the piece of music written on a sinner’s naked bum for yourself.
Here’s the music in modern notation
And finally, the audio of Hieronymus Bosch’s butt song
Orange Order of the Swan Brethren
Posted on March 18, 2017 by Royal Rosamond Press
I am found the order of the Swan Brotherhood in America. William of Orange was a member. It is going to take me five posts to get this information down.
Jon
René of Châlon, as the last descendant of the original princes, left the principality to his first cousin William of Nassau-Dillenburg (better known as “William the Silent”), who was not a descendant of the original Orange family but became the legal heir to the principality of Orange, and all of René’s lands. Thus, the principality which René had inherited from his mother was passed to his father’s brother’s son.
The principality of Orange had already passed, through the female line, from the first dynasty of Orange to the families Les Baux, and then to De Châlon.[4] It now passed to a family which was not descended in blood at all from any of the preceding families.
William added the name of Orange to his own paternal dignities and thus became in 1544 the founder of the House of Orange-Nassau.
The Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady (Illustre Lieve Vrouwe Broederschap) was a religious confraternity founded in 1318 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch to promote the veneration of the Mother of God. The brotherhood was organized around a carved wooden image of the Virgin Mary in St. John’s Cathedral in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.[1] [2] The Brotherhood had two types of members: ordinary members and sworn members, also called ‘swan-brethren’ because they used to donate a swan for the yearly banquet. Sworn members were clerics in principle; in fact they were often chosen among the nobility, the magistrates, etc. As a result, the Brotherhood also functioned as an important social network.
Well-known members[edit]
- Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450 – 1516), painter.[3][4]
- Nycasius de Clibano (? – 1497), singer and composer
- Jheronimus de Clibano (c. 1459 – 1503), singer and composer
- Jan Heyns (? – 1516), architect
- Frans Crabbe van Espleghem (c. 1480 – 1553), Flemish artist
- Jan van Wintelroy (? – 1576), composer and choirmaster
- Matthaeus Pipelare (c. 1450 – c. 1515), composer and choirmaster
- Frederik van Egmond (c. 1470 – 1539), Count of Buren and lord of IJsselstein
De Illustre Lieve Vrouwe Broederschap is een uit 1318 daterende broederschap in de Nederlandse stad ‘s-Hertogenbosch . The Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady is one dating from 1318 fellowship in the Dutch city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch . Today, the society has become ecumenical consists of eighteen eighteen Catholic and Protestant members who all occupy a leading position in society.,The Brotherhood “is responsible for its ancient tangible and intangible cultural heritage, promotes mutual Christian solidarity and fraternal bond, and thereby always keeps an eye on the developments and problems in modern times.” [1] The society is currently located in the Zwanenbroedershuis in Den Bosch, which is also a museum
From 1384 we find swans on the table of the common meals of the sworn brothers, mostly donated by a member of the nobility.. These donors received since 1488 named Swans Brother. Meanwhile, nobles were also members from inside and outside the city are the ever more prestigious fellowship. A short time later, the gift of a swan disconnected from the title swans brother. Officially were only four people simultaneously Swans Brother since 1520 and they had come from the city. However, this arrangement quickly diluted. Ook Willem van Oranje werd lid. Also, Willem van Oranje joined. Nowadays ‘Swans Brother’ a title which only royals eligible. Among the current members are Princess Beatrix and King Willem-Alexander . They are the only ones currently allowed to use this title.

Bennett Rosamond Grand Master of Orange Order
Posted on April 1, 2012by Royal Rosamond Press
Above is a photograph of Bennett Rosamond the Grand Master of the Orange Order in Canada. Bennett is with members of Lodge 389 in Lanark, or, Almonte. The image on the banner is that of William of Orange who is carried in Orange Parades. That is Bennett on the far right, looking like Gandalf, or, a Levite Prophet.
According to the History of the Rosemond Family by Leland Rosemond, the Rosamond family were members of the Orange Order in Leitrim Ireland, and fled to Canada after a Rosamond son killed a Catholic lad who was invading the Rosamond home with a gang bent on doing my kindred harm.
Bennett may have been a Freemason as well – and an Oddfellow. There is a long history of the Rosamonds belonging to Guilds. They were members of the Swan Brethren.
My grandparents, Royal and Mary Magdalene Rosamond, begat my mother, Rosemary Rosamond, and her sisters, Lilian, Bonnie, and June Rice.

Almonte’s Oldest Citizen Goes To His Reward
From the Almonte Gazette
A week or two ago we announced the illness of James Rosamond, Sr., little expecting we would so soon be called upon to chronicle the news of his death which took place on Wednesday morning. The old gentleman attended the Orange gathering here on the 12th July and owing to the dampness of the day contracted a cold which was followed by an attack of bronchitis and other troubles and after the wear of so many years his constitution had not the vitality to withstand the attack of the disease and shortly after midnight the end came calmly and peacefully.
Berlin Tomb of Mary Magdalene
Posted on June 29, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
I now highly suspect my Stuttmeister ancestors were French Knight Templars who fled to Berlin where they were Teutonic Knights. I am going to found my Johannite Knights Templar. Last night, I heard people plotting to take my life so my teaching is not revealed to the world. A door was opened this morning when I saw the entrance to the Royal Prussian Academy where the Gospel of Mary Magdalene was taken. I need protection. I suspect my racist brother is alive and is in contact with Patrice Hanson about using my offspring to author – his book – wherein are his racist rants. Mark Presco has money.

The Stuttmeister Tomb in Berlin
Posted on March 6, 2012by Royal Rosamond Press
A Seer told me in 1987: “You own your own creation – you died!”
What she meant, is, I beheld my conception by my parents, before I went to heaven and saw God.
My parents were playing cards in the sand, naked. I walked up to them as a child of three, looked down at the cards that were all face cards, and they were talking to me in foreign languages. They were my kindred, who were very distressed because they had been silenced in their lifetime. They were Evangelicals (father)and Huguenots (mother) They are buried next to one another in Berlin. Here lies the roses amongst the thorns. I part the veil,
and I behold the Lost Kingdom – and I give a command
“Arise from thy sleep, the true church of God!”
In this video we see the Stuttmeister tomb about 15 seconds into it. This name means ‘Master of the Horse’. Consider the pale horse and rider. Here the Templars and Teutonic Knights have come to rest.
Cut and paste this url:
In Matthew 27:53 we read about Jesus raising Jews from the dead, then saying; “It is done!” He did not say, it is done, and then come the earthquake. These Jewish Saints did not rise on Sunday, but went into Jerusalem Friday night just before sundown. They imparted a restored and new covenant – a Gift for the Chosen Children of God. I believe these Saints were a lineage of Nazarites from Samson and Samuel.
Gideon was a Judge who God told he had too man fighting men. I am looking for a good few men -and women!

Matthew 27:50-54 (NIV)
(50) And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
(51) At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.
(52) The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
(53) They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
(54) When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
The Dorotheenstadt cemetery, officially the “Cemetery of the Dorotheenstadt und Friedrichswerder Parishes”, is a landmarked Protestant burial ground located in the Berlin district of Mitte which dates to the late 18th century. The entrance to the 17,000 m2 plot is at 126 Chaussee Straße (next door to the Brecht House, where Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel spent their last years, at 125 Chaussee Straße). It is also directly adjacent to the French cemetery (also known as the cemetery of the Huguenots), established in 1780, and is sometimes confused with it.
In 1685, the year of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by French King Louis XIV, Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg issued the Edict of Potsdam, which was essentially an invitation to Huguenots in France who were suffering in the throes of persecution to come and live in Germany in peace and safety. The invitation was a success. Thousands came. At one point, more French Huguenots lived in Berlin than Germans. To provide a place of worship for the Huguenots in Berlin, the Französischer Dom or French Huguenot Church, which I was privileged to visit in 1991, was built in the Gendarmenmarkt between 1701 and 1705, by Louis Cayart, and modelled on the main church of the Huguenots in Charenton near Paris which had been destroyed in 1688. It has a sister German Dom across the square. Thus, this year marks the 300th anniversary of this remarkable place of worship and refuge, and noble example of Franco-German architecture. The church today contains a Huguenot musuem.
History of the Huguenots
In France, the Protestant Reformation began during the 16th century. French citizens, disgruntled with the political domination of the Catholic church and desiring a more democratic religious affiliation, were greatly influenced by the writings of the German monk Martin Luther and later by the ideas of John Calvin, a French theologian.
In defiance of Catholicism and the monarchy, the French dissenters began holding meetings in secret. The exact origin of the name “Huguenot” is unknown. It appears to be a combination of the Flemish and German word. Protestants who met to study the Bible in secret were called Huis Genooten, or “house fellows.” They were also referred to as Eid Genossen, or “oath fellows” meaning persons bound by an oath.
Persecution of the Huguenots by the Catholic church was extreme and unrelenting. In 1535, an edict was published which ordered the extermination of the Protestant heretics. During the following 63 years, Huguenots were systematically tortured and executed. A group of 1500 refugees, one of whom was John Calvin, fled the persecution and established the French Protestant Church in Strasbourg.
On April 30,1598, King Henry IV of France, issued the Edict of Nantes, granting the Huguenots religious and political freedom. The edict was later revoked under the rule of King Louis XIV. Deprived of civil and religious liberty, the Huguenots began leaving France by the thousands. They settled in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Britain and the religiously tolerant new American Colonies
Heather and Rose Marie
Posted on September 27, 2012by Royal Rosamond Press
This monrinng I came upon posts I published last August. I am a-mazed! A Rosicrucian door has been opened. The parralels between Pan’s Labyrinth and these posts, are – astounding!
Yesterday was my late mother’s birthday. She was named Rosemary Rosamond. Heather was born on the same day. She was named Heather Marie Delpiano, she put in the arms of a dark and brutal man whose family was connected to the Sicilian mobe. Her mother knew Randolph Delpiano was not Heather’s father. Randy died childless. He was a poisoned frog put in my families bed of flowers. Heather Rose.
When Tyler Hunt was born, his father was not present. Ryan Hunt stayed up all night getting drunk with his buds. He wanted Heather to get an abortion. He did not want to be a father. As soon as I could afford it, I went to see my newborn grandson in Santa Rosa. I took Tyler and Heather to the newly discovered Stuttmeister tomb in Colma where a tiffany glass depicted a red rose growig in a blue pot. Take note of the rose on Ophelia’s dress as she enterrs the Rose Catherdral and Throne room of her diseased parents.
Take not of the lost tombstone of the Odd Fellow Druid with the ‘all seing eye” in the V.

But I that am
Part of the perfect witness for the world,
How good it is; I chosen in God’s eyes
To fill the lean account of under men, The lank and hunger-bitten ugliness
Of half his people . . . I that am, ah yet,
And shall be till the worm has share in me,
Fairer than love or the clean truth of God,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I . . . have roses in my name, and make
All flowers glad to set their colour by.
