I am going to Ojai.- in my mind and spirit? I might be God. I might not be able to die! Meher Baba went to Ojai – and Krishnamurti! My grandmother knew the leaders of the Theosophic Society. The Rosicrucian’s are here. Conrad Wienke raised bees and sold honey on Route 33.
Last night I looked at my parents, my brother, and my daughter’s family – UNBONING me! Add my sister’s and Rena to the list. This UNBORNING me has been going on – the day I was born! My mother – was the worst! I can not tell you why because there are people trying to steal MY STORY, and….
UNSTORY ME!
HISTORY is about achievement. Meher Baba became THE GOD MAN. I associated with him after I died in 1967 – and came back to life – according to the three Readers at the Berkeley Psychic Institute, who I believe switched tapes of my reading – lest I own them!
Last night I looked at my brother and daughter disowning me, how they reveled in me being a
NOBODY!
Heather Hanson did not call me on Thanksgiving. She and her family are guilty of trying to transfer the history of Christine Rosamond – over to their family. They used me as a doormat – then tried to destroy me! A Judge sold out family history to outsiders – and they destroyed the legacy of the artist…
ROSAMOND
All this DISTRUCTION – elects me – and is proof I died. I was twenty. What would I have ACHIEVED – if I had not died! I wonder and worry about this – all the time.
For years I have searched Zillow for the final resting place for me and my Muse. We are – in Ojai! We are there to SAVE and enhance the history of my grandparents, Royal and Mary Magdalene Rosamond.
Last night I looked at Napoleon’s plan to conquer America, and realized Virginia’s ancestor would have come to the Lousiana Territory and helped DESTROY my Democracy – with the help of Count Cipriani!
In 2017, I discovered the Mallard family, who was close with Joseph Bonapartes, purchased the Geronimo Valley, where my great grandfather, William Stuttmeister, retired. There is no escaping the truth – I own the crux of California History. But, mow than that, I am…
THE GOD OF CALIFORNIA…
At least!
I tried to be – other things. I even tried – to be somebody! On Thanksgiving, as I watched millions of people celebrating Thanksgiving, I saw how much my daughter, and two grandchildren, needed me to be a – BIG FAILURE! Wasn’t Jesus a BIG FAILURE in the eyes of his family and his people? Does Netanyahu believe Jesus – is real? Does he scoff at – the Second Coming? Wouldn’t Jesus go to Gaza and relieve the suffering of human beings, even though they are – HATERS! My family hated me – the day I was born. My father said I was the product of his wife’s – BETRAYAL! Did Victor ever – kiss me?
Last night I made up my mind to claim the State of Lousiana. But, then I realized I was suffering from low-self esteem – due to my upbringing! Also, I found some evidence Virginia may not be alive. no one has answered her phone – for months. People are cunning. I recall when I lost all my cunningness when I died. Consider how my ancestors were uprooted – when they were dead! I’ve been….
UPROOTED!
John ‘The God of California’
Napoleon’s big brother Joseph, ex-King of Spain, likely sired “natural son” Louis Mailliard, whose grandson Adolph lived with both families in New Jersey until doctors advised him to relocate to a healthier climate with his wife Ann Ward & at least 2 children, John & 10 yr old Joseph. In 1868 the trip via Panama took 3 weeks. He had purchased the entire San Geronimo Valley, sight unseen, for the exorbitant amount of $50,000. When he was working in SF for a short time prior to that in 1850, the same land had been sold for a mere $1,000. The home they built (three times) in what would become Woodacre had 18 rooms, 11 fireplaces, 3 conflagrations & many visitors, including Alexander Graham Bell who installed the 1st telephone line in California there – ironic that cell phone reception is still iffy. Ann’s sister Julia visited often & they would sing her composition “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
http://www.mdhs.org/betsy-bonaparte/author/admin
In 1854 Adolph Maillard bought a large portion of the Valley, but he and his family didn’t move onto the property until 1873. Adolph Maillard was the son of Louis Maillaird, Joseph (brother of Napoleon) Bonparte’s personal secretary. Since the Maillards were closely connected royalty, they were a wealthy family. While Adolph was one of the more better known owners of the valley, the Dickson and Roy families had been around for several decades before him. The Maillards opened a creamery on their piece of property, and gave it their family name. The creamery produced a special “M Butter” that was only sold to gourmet restaurants and bakeries in San Francisco. The creamery drew more attention to the Valley, and meanwhile the population was steadily increasing.
From Mortefontaine to America
Mailliard was not Joseph Bonaparte’s son, although it is sometimes stated that he was. Louis Hypolite Mailliard was born in Mortefontaine, France, on May 22, 1795. In 1798, Joseph bought the château of Mortefontaine, north of Paris. In 1808, Mailliard entered Joseph’s service. He accompanied Joseph when the latter became King of Spain, and stayed with him through the fall of Napoleon’s Empire. In 1815 he fled with Joseph into exile in the United States.
Ranching: It is thought that La Cañada de San Geronimo became a ranching outpost of Mission San Rafael till the fall of the mission system in the 1830s. In the years before California joined the United States, the Valley was settled and grazed by Mexican soldier Rafael Cacho, who was in the area as early as 1839. Cacho transferred ‘Rancho San Geronimo’ to Joseph W. Revere, a naval officer who was the grandson of Paul Revere. The bulk of the land in the Valley then changed hands a number of times before arriving under the ownership of Adolph Mailliard, whose family owned Rancho San Geronimo until the early 1910s. Other ranch families included the Roy and Nunez families, as well as the Dickson and Ottolini families – who are both still operating ranches.
Development: A group of developers under the name the Lagunitas Development Company then purchased from the Mailliard heirs what we now know as Woodacre, San Geronimo, Forest Knolls and Lagunitas. They created the names Woodacre and Forest Knolls in the process of subdividing the Valley. The area grew slowly and mostly consisted of summer homes until development picked up markedly following World War II. The Valley became more suburbanized at this point, until in the late 1960s an exodus of progressive young people from San Francisco changed the character of the area once again.
CHÂTEAU DE MORTEFONTAINE
Château de Mortefontaine, Mortefontaine, Oise, Hauts-de-France
Built between 1600 and 1630, for Philippe Hotman (d.1643), Seigneur de Plailly-Montmélian, whose father (the French Ambassador to Switzerland) bought the estate in 1570. It remained a seigneurial manor until it was purchased in 1798 by Napoleon‘s brother, Joseph-Napoléon Bonaparte (1768-1844) and his wife Marie-Julie Clary as their new home. It was here that the Convention of 1800 was signed that ended a two year quasi naval war fought in the Caribbean between France and the United States….
This house is best associated with…
Joseph Bonaparte
Joseph-Napoléon Bonaparte, ex-King of Naples and Spain
1768-1844
Marie-Julie Clary
Marie-Julie (Clary) Bonaparte, ex-Queen of Naples and Spain
1771-1845
Louis-René de Gramont
Lt. Louis-René de Gramont, Comte de Gramont, of Chateau de Mortefontaine
1883-1963
Antoinette (de Rochechouart-Mortemart) Comtesse de Gramont
1893-1972
Bonaparte was very attached to Mortefontaine and he laid out a magnificent park here with tens of follies and faux-ruins plus an assortment of bridges and towers, and underground tunnels that connected one side of the estate to the other – similar to what he laid out at Point Breeze in New Jersey, the first version of which he styled on his beloved Mortefontaine. In 1815, after Napoleon‘s defeat at Waterloo, Joseph made his escape to America, living for the next twenty years at Point Breeze. While he lived in exile, his wife lived here almost permanently until he sold it in 1827. In 1841 Bonaparte was re-united with his wife and lived out his last years at the Palazzo Serristori in Florence.
Bonaparte sold Mortefontaine to Louis-Henri Bourbon, last Prince de Condé, but three years later he was found swinging at the end of a rope. Rumors ran rife that either his revengeful illegitimate daughter, Sophie, had plotted his demise with his Orléanist rival for the French throne, Louis Philippe I, or it was the result of a sexual act gone wrong. Either way, Mortefontaine was soon afterwards inherited by the same illegitimate daughter implicated – but found innocent – in his death. In 1894, retaining the “Petit Parc” she sold the “Grand Parc” to the north of the chateau to the Duke of Gramont and his wife, Marguerite de Rothschild, where they built the palatial Chateau de Vallière.
Mortefontaine remained in Sophie’s family until 1928 when it was sold to Louis-René de Gramont, who grew up the Chateau de Vallière. Having by then fallen into a bad state of repair, he carried out the much needed renovations only to be evicted during the Second World War when it was occupied by the Nazis. Five years later, he sold it to an Order of Dominican Monks and it became a school which operated until 1985 when Mortefonatine was purchased by Monsieur Pontheiu who converted it into a luxury hotel. This eventually failed by about 2004 and today it is once again a private home.

I took a break from my Road Trip to Ojai where I had Thanksgiving with allot of Wienke folks when I was fifteen. ” I googled ” Ojai Enlightenment” to inform readers about this Mecca. I found an article about Alpenglow which I was going to – repost on. I still wanted to point out how prophetic this post is. I wrote a poem about the Dove and the Branch which is about Jonah whose tomb was blown up by ISIS.
You got to know where your heart is at.
John ‘The Prophet’
Who dare climb
humanities loftiest peak
to capture beauty
adorned in universal peace
Who will take the risk
to own a spiritual transcendence?
Why has no poet or artist gone
to see the treacherous rocks
where from the Rose of the World
was washed away
And with serene brow
and a love for the truth
rendered a work of art
a forgiving sonnet?
Theodoric accepts the challenge
and comes to the Rose Garden
to rescue the beautiful Similde
captured by a dwarf
with an invisible cloak
Brave knights follow
the clue of the crushed roses
and render their foe
visible.
What is there to see
when we chose to rise
above it all
all that is base
lacking grace
and civility?
Youth challenges youth
while wisdom old in years
authors chivalrous poetry
for grandsons un-born
There must be a mystery
and a clue
a broken thread
that marks the point
of no return.
For our destiny awaits
where we dare not go
and we go
to see
if we are truly alive
and are not a mirage
and life a cruel fantasy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpenglow
The Ark upon the mountain
The Dove and Branch upon the sea
The hammers of iniquity
beat upon my forgotten tomb
I am awake upon the turbulant waters
My enemies cast lots
and blame me for their sins
while God’s friends
read me on the Day of Atonement
so all will be saved
so all will be united in peace
The sun went down on me
so long ago
The vine that grew over my head
has wilted in the desert of forgetfulness
But, there on a mountian
a purple haze
a rosy afterglow
in a King’s rosegarden atop a mount
that bid noble knights to climb hither
that beckon knights to sever a thread
and once again
be brave

Witness the ‘pink moment’ and take a spiritual journey in the Ojai valley
The mysterious alpenglow – an optical phenomenon that materialises as a horizontal glow just after sundown – graces the Ojai valley
ByFionn Davenport20 October 2017 • 10:15am
Sun-splashed Ojai has long been a spiritual magnet for seekers of every description. It might not look too different from other small towns in the Ventura valley, but take a closer look at the clusters of single-storey buildings spaced out along the broad main street and you’ll find an abundance of New Age shops, kooky art galleries and mind-body spas.

I have been thinking of moving back to Oakland, or, Ventura. Ojai crossed my mind.
That’s my grand uncle, Conrad Wieneke, behind the steering wheel of a real big car. He has a ranch on Highway 399, and some houses in Ventura by the Sea where my mother, Rosemary, was born.

Old Highway Route 399
Posted on November 10, 2015 by Royal Rosamond Press
Conrad Wieneke, the brother of my grandmother, lived on Highway 399 in Ojai. His sister, Eutrophia Maude Brown, lived on a farm nearby. Mary Magdalene Rosamond lived in one of Conrad’s homes in Ventura. The third photo from the top could have been taken on 399.
What is key, my kindred are modeling. My two aunts are posing with their mother sitting on the runner of a vintage car, and Eutrophia is posing in the bottom photo. These people did not know they are kin to Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor. My later sister, Christine Rosamond Benton, became a famous artist and married into the artistic Benton family. Jessie Benton, the wife of John Fremont, held a salon at Black Point in San Francisco. My first girlfriend, Marilyn Reed, did some modeling when she was thirteen, and fit right in with all the beautiful Rosamond Women.
That is Conrad Wieneke on the Ventura Beach with his three children, and June, Bonnie, Lillian, and Rosemary Rosamond. U.S. Route 399 went from Ventura to Bakersfield. This highway was changed to Route 33.
My sister Christine Rosamond, is modeling Marilyn’s ‘Train Dress’. My ex-wife is wearing Marilyn’s dress at our wedding, where my good friend, Bryan MacLean, played. Bryan was in love with Christine in high school, and played for the rock group ‘Love’. My wife, Mary Ann Tharaldsen, was married to the author, Thomas Pynchon. These folks got their creative roots out on Route 399.
Below is a home movie of my mother at Ventura Beach and Camarillo. This was filmed by a member of the famous Lewis family, whom Rosemary almost married into.

The Third Elijah and St. Francis
Posted on October 14, 2022 by Royal Rosamond Press
Three years after I got sober, and took the Vow of the Nazarite, I put together a basket honoring Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. I found a pic of an Arab girl holding a lamb and assigned the name Elizabeth to her. This image became the child I would never have. Ten years later my sixteen year old daughter came into my life. I thought I was going to die – childless – like Zechariah.
The Quran has make a huge mistake! There are two billion Muslims in the world. John was a historic person, while scholars can find no history of Jesus. If you take away Jesus and his mother, Mary, then the usurpation – is abolished. There is – only Elizabeth, and her divine son, that spoke when the priests came to circumcise and name him when he was eight days old.
John ‘The Third Elijah’
Today is the most momentous day in my life. All my hard work has paid off. Ludwig traveled to Ithaca and hung with Cornell philosophers. My cup runneth over. I am so overjoyed that my grandparents can be put in a group of writers and thinkers – forever! I can remove my sister Christine from the literary hell she was thrown in hours after she died. My relationship with the woman I married, is redeemed. We believed in each other.

Wittgenstein’sVisittoIthaca.pdf (cornell.edu)
Pynchon and Philosophy radically reworks our readings of Thomas Pynchon alongside the theoretical perspectives of Wittgenstein, Foucault and Adorno. Rigorous yet readable, Pynchon and Philosophy seeks to recover philosophical readings of Pynchon that work harmoniously, rather than antagonistically, resulting in a wholly fresh approach.
Martin Paul Eve
Chapter in Profils Américains: Thomas Pynchon
Edited by Bénédicte Chorier-Fryd and Gilles Chamerois
Pynchon and Wittgenstein: Ethics, Relativism and Philosophical Methodology
Perhaps the strongest rationale for a philosophico-literary study intersecting Thomas Pynchon
with Ludwig Wittgenstein is that, in the writings of this philosopher, the very nature of philosophy is
reflexively questioned. Within his lifetime Wittgenstein published a single text, Tractatus
Logico-Philosophicus, influenced by the logical atomists in which he claimed, initially, to have “solved
all the problems of philosophy” (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus x). However, in 1929 he resumed
lecturing and, following his death in 1951, the world was presented with the unfinished product of
these intervening years: the Philosophical Investigations. While many early studies, and indeed this
biographical overview, present a seemingly bi-polar, bi-tonal Wittgenstein, who enacts a retraction of
the Tractatus in the Philosophical Investigations, a closer examination of Wittgenstein’s notebooks and
intermediate remarks reveals that the latter owes its genesis to a critique of the former and was
developed through an accumulation of thought and a gradual transition.
This piece presents a tripartite analysis of the relationship between the philosophical works of
Ludwig Wittgenstein and the novels of Thomas Pynchon. This is broadly structured around three
schools of Wittgenstein scholarship identified by Guy Kahane et al. as the Orthodox Tractatus, the New
Wittgenstein, and several strands of the Orthodox Investigations (Kahane et al. 4-14). Moving from the
earliest affiliation that Pynchon stages between Wittgenstein and Weissman, the underlying theme lies
in Pynchon’s relationship to ethical relativism as it pertains to Nazism. From this it will become clear
that neither relativism of experience and representation, nor an unbounded relativism of non-committal
John Presco Married Mary Ann Tharaldsen
Posted on December 8, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
I married Mary Ann Tharaldsen, the ex-wife of Academy Award Winner, David Seidler, who is also in my family tree, along with Rick Partlow who marred my sister, Christine Rosamond Benton, who was married to the muralist, Garth Benton. Partlow won a Grammy. A Cornell paper says Mary Ann was married to Thomas Pynchon and they lived in the Rockridge on College Avenue near where the Hippie Movement began. The Loading Zone played at the Open Theatre. Lead guitarist, Peter Shapiro, played at our wedding reception. A close friend lived nearby and he was asked to contribute to Oliver Stone’s movie. He was a good friend of Jim Morrison and Michael MacLure who taught poetry across the street from the Art College.
My family were San Francisco Pioneers. Mary Ann’s father came from Norway. My step-daughter, Britt Baumback Murray will be in my family tree. Mary Ann is wearing Marilyn Reed’s ‘Train Dree’ that my sister Christine Rosamond Benton, wore, and Debbie Boone on the cover of her album. Mary Ann discovered the actor, Paul Drake, who played Mick in ‘Sudden Impact’. My friend, Bryan MacLean played at our wedding.
I still admire and love the only woman I married. She found me living and hiding in a little shack working on the fifty drawings of Atlantis. MA lived in Marin. My niece, Shannon Rosamond, read the bad movie script written about her mother. I’m going to use MA’s discovery of me in – our movie about a world famous artist. MA was raving about me, she saying my drawing were worthy of a Master’s Dissertation. She asked me if I was a member of Mensa?
I was blown away when twelve year old Britt showed me her written code after beating the Mother May I machine. I hope our new President will revitalize Gifted Children programs. Britt chose to go to my old school, McCheznie, verses the all white private school in SF. My Stuttmeister-Broderick kin had a house and small farm down the street. Gertrude Stein was a neighbor. I was very proud of my step-daughter for this stellar choice. Our black maid lived nearby and would take Christine home with her on the weekends to stay with the Sisters. At the reception MA danced with my nephew, Cian, when he was about nine. He is ‘The Garden Child’ I did a life-size drawing of MA who did a life-size painting of her good friend, Mimi Farina. I wish I had found time to do a painting of Britt and Mary Ann. Perhaps I will.
After our divorce, I moved downstairs. I remained good friends with MA. One day Britt brought her black girlfriend down to meet me, and show me their cornrow hairdos they just did. I should have become a photographer – along time ago. Her father had her going to the most exclusive private school in SF so she could meet the children of the rich. There had been a legal matter. Looking at these two beauties, was the happy outcome. These beautiful lessons continue to be the highlight of Bay Area History.
It occurs to me why I did not take up photography. I was afraid of becoming a commercial success like my sister, who is depicted as being deluded in saying her gallery ripped her off for millions; when in truth, they only ripped her for $50,000 a year. In this court matter, it never occurred to me me to use Rosamond as a character reference. I just now realize she was the kind of person Mr. Baumbach wanted his daughter to mingle with. The Benton’s were friends of the Getty family. The hut in this painting is more my style. I did this when I was seventeen from memory of the mudflats off the entrance of the Bay Bridge. It is rumored Pynchon lived here. You could only walk to this shack during a special low-tide. How perfect for your average recluse. Note the pier is broken, thus, there is no access to the Recluse, this way. Money can’t buy seclusion like this, because it is……a state of mind. Stoke the potbelly stove. Cue the rain!

Mary Magdalene Rosamond knew members of the Theosophical Society and visited their retreat in Ojai where her brother, Conrad Wieneke, owned four homes. Mary became a feminist. She might have known Annie Besant. I believe that is Conrad behind the wheel of the huge car.
Besant brought Krishnamurti from India to America and introduced him as ‘The World Teacher’ not unlike the teacher foretold in the Rose of the World prophecy. Krishnamurti had a retreat in Ojai, as did Avatar Meher Baba ‘The Awakener’.
Mary gave birth to four beautiful daughters, June, Bonnie, Rosemary, and Lillian.
My first girlfriend, Marilyn, looks like Mary, they bot having those cheekbones. Rena could pass as Mary’s granddaughter. I was surrounded by beautful woman. I was their champion.

Cipriani and California In Sardinia
Posted on November 17, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
La California
Posted on October 5, 2015 by Royal Rosamond Press
The name Belmont comes from Beaumont. Count Leonetto Cirprini named a province in Italy after California, the place he dwelt. He was the first Italian ambassador and fought the Habsburgs as a Forty-Eighter, who I suspect were going to colonize California. Was Belmont going to be the capital of the Italian Unification, and, this is why Carl Janke brought six portable houses around the Cape? Little Italy?
I am going t establish correspondence, and unite the two Californians.
Jon Presco
I will be composing a proposal to the Mayor and City Council of Belmont, suggesting they purchase my newspaper and install it at 901 Waltermire. I will take residence upstairs, and operate the Royal Sardinian Touring Company.
In January of 2021 I bought art supplies with the last Corvid check I received from the United States Government in order to maintain, and further my existence this Great Democracy. Being very poor, I had a taste of what it is like to – have money! This Government Money inspired me t look at ways – I can have more money! Being a theologian, Bohemian, and Historian, I get paid every day – ascetically. Wanting to envision a more material existence, I looked at homes for sale in Belmont California and Crockett. I put my newspaper, Royal Rosamond Press up for sale. I reasoned there were folks in the world with much money, who would want to invest in my – and my gifts! I would continue to write articles for my ex-paper in relative safety. My neighbors in Springfield were threatening me and the cats who came to visit.
I saw myself working on paintings in the sunroom of the the Waltermire house, and writing in the other half of this space. I wanted passerby’s to see a Real Bohemian at work. There would be a potbelly stove where gather the La California Touring Club of Belmont that takes members to our resort in Sardinia – where I hope to have a small writers cottage where I work on my Ian Fleming inspired books. With the Napoleon series, I suspect the interested in the Emperor and his family – will soar! I will be there, waiting for the lovers of history, and the school children.

“Returning to Paris in October, 1855, he was warmly received
by his friend Prince Napoleon who overwhelmed him with questions
about his travels in America. “I answered them the best I could.”
Cipriani wrote, “But , it is a veritable deluge….We keep talking
about my journeys, of the Sanora, of conquering it.” Perhaps he
thought of seizing it for France and hoped the prince might persuade
his cousin the Emperor to finance the undertaking. “It is an idea in
the air,” he added, “that I would willingly undertake, if necessary
capital and men were available.”
Last night as I was admiring my post of the history of Crockett, I went to Belmont California to see if they had any interesting homes for sale. Eureka! Is this the future home of Royal Rosamond Press? What was here before? I moved in the daughters of Christine Rosamond Benton. Why not Tyler, too? Our children can experience the miracle the Presco Children created growing up on San Sebastian Avenue in Oakland. Belmont – needs our history – in their Downtown! There is nothing there – there! The same goes for Crockett. If they only knew where the remains of William Janke ended up, after being dug up and evicted from his grave. Did William interact with the children gathered in the giant oak tree? I am going to do a painting of these little people dressed as Bohemians, posing before the Time Machine.
“What does the future have in store for us? Can we all get along?”
It appears that Cipriani was successful in uniting the House
of Savoy with the Bonapartes, and thus the House of Stuart. Prince
Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul of France, Pr Napoléon, married in Turin
in 1859, Princess Clothilde of Savoy daughter of Victor Emanuel. From
this union would come other Bonapartes with the name Victor. Prince

Was the Jacobite ‘Order of the White Rose’ somewhat successful
in their plan to put the Stuarts on a throne and rule the world?
There appears to contention with the Prussians who can claim the same
ancestry through the Winter Queen of Bohemia, Elizabeth Stuart,
daughter of King James, and thus the Hanovers who are in all regards,
the Windsors.

Count Cipriani was born in Centuri Corsica, on October 10,
1812. On his father’s side he is descended from an old Florentine
family of Ghibellines, which after a long struggle with the vitorious
Guelfs, found refgue in Corsica in the fifteenth century. On his
mother’s side he is descended from Saint Francis Caracciolo of
Naples, and thus Saint Aquinas. This struggle inspired Shakespear to
write ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and thus the question “What is in a name?”
came to be.
Royal Rosamond Press dedicates this closure to my
chapter ‘Bohemians and Bankers’ to Cipriani, a man who shaped the
West, and knew the ancestor of Rosamond, the ‘Rose of the World.

Anarchists, Jacobites, Masons & Manifest Destiny
The City of Belmont
California was founded by Count Cipriani who appears to be related to
the Anarchists of Italy, who may have had something to do with
Sissi’s assasination. Anarchists Clubs sprang up in Italy in response
to the Hapsburg’s and Austria coming to rule Italy. Opposed by the
Piedmontese and the Milanese, Count Leonetto Cipriani would champion
the cause of a free and democratic Italy.
“A writer hostile to Cipriani accused him of forbidding his
son Italian citizenship because he did not want the boy to be a
subject of an Italy that, after 1882, was allied with the traditional
enemy, Hapsburg Austria. Cipriani seldom forgave and never forgot an
enemy.”
Whether Leonetto Cipriani is related to the infamous Italian
Anarchist, Amilcare Cipriani, I do not know. But, they surely had the
same cause, that would come to shape the culture of San Francisco, if
not the whole Pacific Coast, and not just the Italian community. It

eventually turned to Cipriani’s overland journey of 1853, which
apparently had not escaped the king’s notice. “I have heard tell,” he
said, “of a great journey of yours, with you on horseback and camping
out.”
“For eight solid months, Your Majesty,” Cipriani replied,
making certain to include the time he left San Francisco in February
to October, 1853.
“But it is true.” the king continued, “that you led covered
wagons and crossed the Rocky Mountains where there was roads, and
great rivers without any bridges.”
The above is from the ‘California and Overland Diaries of
Count Leonetto Cipriani’. a journey that may constitute the first
cattle drive. What this diary reveals is France’s plan to conquer
Mexico, and perhaps the Western United States.
“Cipriani must have followed with close interest the
activities of Count Raousset-Boulbon and other French filibusters in
the Sonora province of Mexico. The French consul in San Francisco, in
difficulty with the American government for his alleged support of
such filibustering activity, wrote to the Sardinian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in 1854 that he was grateful (moral) support he was
receiving from Colonel Cipriani. That Cirpiani had entertained some
such expedition in the Sonora is clear from his memoirs though there
is no evidence of any actual participation.”

The Oak of Meher Mont
Posted on December 10, 2017 by Royal Rosamond Press
I posted this in 2009.
“When I awoke yesterday morning, my Angel bid me restore the Shekinah. The day before I had read a theory put forth by Fridrich von Suhtscheck that the story of Parzival is based upon the Song of the Pearl, or, the Hymn of the Pearl, or, the Hymn of Judas Thomas who was born of royal Parthian parents. For the reason Meher Baba was born of a Parthian father, I looked at Sulphur Mountain above Ventura as the new home of the Shekinah, or, the Rosa Mystica.
There is a rose garden atop Sulpher Mountain. Those who wish to connect with the Shekinah on Santa Rosa can see the Channel Islands from Meher (Mithra) Baba’s retreat. Anyone who seeks the light of God and the Rosa Mystica are forbidden to set foot on Santa Rosa Island until the end of the world.”

Jai Baba!
Update #7 from Sam Ervin
Yesterday, Dec. 8, Buzz and Ginger, Manager/Caretakers, were again at Meher Mount. They learned a lot more about the aftermath of the fire, and the news is troubling and leaves us with considerable uncertainty. I’ll combine the latest news with much of the report from update #6 to give a more complete picture of what we have learned. The “Thomas Fire”, named after St. Thomas Aquinas College because it started near there, has been raging across Ventura County since Monday, Dec. 4, and is still not nearly contained, having burned more than 100,000 acres. It has been driven by winds up to 80 MPH and extremely low humidity. In its first few days it burned the entire area, rural and wilderness, between the towns of Ojai, Santa Paula and Ventura, including all of Sulphur Mountain, where Meher Mount is located. Fire fighters played a role in saving some structures, as did effective weed and fire hazard abatement, as Buzz and Ginger did at
Heather and Eutrophia
Posted on December 26, 2014by Royal Rosamond Press
Around 2:30 P.M. on Christmas Day, I opened my computer and showed Marilyn my post ‘Christmas with Eutrophia’. No sooner did she see the top photo, Mariliyn says;
When my sister Christine was nine, and my sister Vicki, was five, they saw a blue angel standing at the foot of Christine’s bed. I just found this photo of an angel over the head of Mother Dominica, the cousin of my grandmother, Mary Magdalene Rosamond.
And angel appeared above me just before I died. The fight I have with Patrice Hanson, is, she claims the light that surrounded OUR daughter, came from her mother that was like a guardian angel. Wrong! This angel and light comes from the Wieneke family who entered the Order of Saint Francis. That angel guarded MY daughter from the fake father, Randal Delpiano. Why wasn’t there an angel to protect Patrice’s two sons – that I took in to get them away from Randall? This alleged angel-mother did not stop her daughter from bonding with a criminal.
Heather can keep this angel and light, as long as she admits it comes via her real father, and HIS family! The Order is always looking for new members amongst the Wieneke and Starks, because Nuns and Fathers do not produce children. Heather was a candidate – before she was born!

Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa, USABonding With The SisterhoodPosted on March 25, 2017by Royal Rosamond Press
- Above is a photo of the Wieneke farm in Iowa. Here Sisters of the Order of Saint Francis were grounded in America after they were forced to flee Germany due to Bismark’s Kulturkampf. This is a story of how a religious order was helped by an American family who had immigrated from Germany fifty years before. The Wieneke family was given credit for preparing the way for Saint Francis, and, Jesus Christ.
- They were seen as Saints.https://www.youtube.com/embed/TwDV1C5UZvM?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparentLast night I read this book again, online. I was hoping John Stark would have posted the rest of the book on ancestry.com. He has not. I tried to get him to give this book to the Sister’ of Briarcliff. John said the book contained accounts that ranged “from the reidulous to the sublime”. You are going to have to cut and past this to url.file:///C:/Users/jongr/Downloads/Mother%20Mary%20Dominica.pdf
Phillipine was a muse to an artist. Her brother studied at Louvain. There is a missing chapter on the “Family Grotto”. I suspect there were sightings here. Please, John, publish the rest of this book! 
Members of the Wieneke came in close contact with the Order of Saint Francis that was forced to flee Germany. It appears they were The Keepers of The Miriam Cult. They wanted to spread the Devotion of Mary in America. The Wieneke Family were chosen to be The Messengers. They spoke German in their homes, as did the Sisters. Below is Father John, and his three sisters born from the same womb. My mother wanted me to become a Franciscan Monk. Her mother, Mary Magdalene Rosamond, said I was destined for the church. These are her cousins, and the sibings of Eutropia.The name Philippine is a German. In German the meaning of the name Philippine is: loves horses.There is a scene of the Wienekes taking the Sisters to church in their horse and wagon. This is the opening scene to a movie. I see the rolling hills of golden grass. The camera come closer in this Western secene, and everyone is speaking German. That John Kelly came home severely wonded in his fight with the secular evil in Germany, was very important. These Sisters knew their flock, and shen they did not hear from John and Eutropia, they sent an emisary to Ventura By The Sea. This is a Papal Emisary, as you shall read in my newspaper…………..Royal Rosamond Press.My sisters awoke to see a Blue Angel standing at the foot of their bed. There was a High Mass held in the Wieneke home to honor the dying mother who had given birth to the first American Sisters of the Order of Saint Francis. The term “papal rank” is used.https://rosamondpress.com/2016/05/09/bonding-with-a-blue-angel/Jon PrescoPresidentCopyright 2017https://rosamondpress.com/2017/02/08/the-franiscan-family-of-mary-magdalene-rosamond/https://www.youtube.com/embed/TgyPRoWIa5c?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent

Come to Sardinia
Posted on April 27, 2016 by Royal Rosamond Press
Every year tourists flock to San Francisco. New Yorkers used to flock to the Catskills in the summer. SFers used to go to Occidental and Camp Meeker for the summer months. I suggest citizens of the city named after Saint Francis, come to Sardinia for a Bohemian Be-in. Every year there will be a meeting of the Creative Alternative Minds from all over the world. Ways to save the planet will be discussed. Global Warming will be a paramount concern. Pioneers of the Internet can discuss the future of Cyber-Space.
As fate would have it, there are several statues of Saint Francis on Sardinia. One looks like the Statue of Liberty. Here is Destinies Welcome! We can save the Animals of the Earth.

Meher Baba and the God-Intoxicated
Posted on October 11, 2012 by Royal Rosamond Press
Above is a photo of my sister Vicki poised to touch me while I am in a blissful trance. Is she mocking me? Am I mad and deluded to believe I own God-Realization? Should I pick up a gun and Bible and hunker down in my end of the world bunker, instead?
We are on the brink of disaster. If Romney and Ryan take the White House it will be the end of caring for the poor around the world, and the beginning of an evil crusade against Islam.
Meher Baba came to join all religions together in harmony. As the Rose of the World, I took up his cause in 1968. Masts (sadhus) are the God-Intoxicated Ones that many say are just the mad and homeless. In their evil plan to create a have and have not America, the Christian-right will create thousands of sadhus that will flock to the malls and supermarkets with their bowls and blankets. The greedy and vain will have to walk over them as they gleefully buy more stuff to make their friends jealous of them.
In the Christmas scene in Tommy we see my drunken father the Leo who had to be the center of attention, and getting drunk with his family was a way to keep the focus on him. I escaped inward, and my art toured the world in a Red Cross show while in school. Two books and a screen play were written by authors who tried to make my late sister a Art Martyr in her family. They failed. This attempt is incredibly telling. Christine Rosamond was just as damaged by the abuse of our parents, she suffering from mental illness most of her life. Yet, she would go into a trance in order to capture her Beautiful Rosamond Women. Is there a spiritual connection?
The truth is just a touch away. Repent!
In this photo we see a blonde off to the left. This is Vicki’s childhood freind, Pip, who died of accute alcoholism, as did Karen, Vicki’s freind since she was six. Vicki took care of them as they died, she at their side whn they passed. We talked about my little sister’s pain before Icame to Bullhead City to help unite my sober family. We thought it was all over, but, then come that devil, Bill Cornwell, with a bottle of beer in his hand, he born on Vic’s birthday, he hell-bent on getting all the attention – starting with my grandson, Tyler Hunt.
For those who suffer the life-threatening disease of alcoholism, I bid you to take the vow of the Nazarite, and emerse yourself in water.
Jon the Nazarite
Before terminating the seclusion, the fast and the extensive tours for contacting masts, Baba declared that He would touch 7,000 sadhus. This decision did not come as a surprise to some of Baba’s old disciples, as some twenty years ago, while traveling in the Nilgiri hills, Baba had said that He would once contact 7,000 sadhus.
