Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
This morning I awoke with a song Elton John made famous that was written by a woman. Yesterday, I left this message on my daughter’s Facebook.
“Happy Easter, Daughter. It is no longer about forgiving each other. It is about accepting the truth, there are stories that are greater than oneself. You were born into such a story. You should include me in your healing profession. https://rosamondpress.com/…/viscountess-rosamond…/
I thought about opening the great brass doors to the Stuttmeister crypt – with you Heather. And we three entered. You were carrying my grandson. I was aware you had no husband. I had hoped to be at your wedding – yet to be! But, there was love. And this is what we came here for. All is forgivable – with love!
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
An hour ago I found out there is going to be a wedding festival in Belmont Park on April 13th. I want to meet you, Booby Dew, and Ember there. We will got to a Justice of the Peace, and you will be married. It is – Kismet! I told you from the get about Fair Rosamond. Henry Guest and his kin are kin to Princess Diana, and are associated with Fair Rosamond. Months ago I wrote the Mayor of Belmont about conducting Spy Weddings at Belmont. Henry Guest was a Commander of Spies!
Seer John
EXTRA! I just sent Heather this message, that might be seen as a Shotgun Wedding Offer!
“The Fates made them an offer they couldn’t refuse!”
Dear Daughter. You will never read a more important post. I and The Fates, have taken the liberty to propose marriage. Don’t let us down! See you there! https://rosamondpress.com/…/royal-rosamond-weddings-in…/
“Love Song”
The words I have to say
May well be simple but they’re true
Until you give your love
There’s nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say it’s very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there’s no other way
And now it’s really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
The Saga of Lily-Rose
Posted on October 31, 2019by Royal Rosamond Press
There is no doubt I am a Seer, who can see into the future. I went on the war path for my un-born granddaugter. I did this so I could have a spiritual influence on Lily-Rose. As a Nazarite, I believe in un-born Children being filled with the Holy Spirit while in their mother’s womb. Patrice Hanson did not want me to have such an influence. With the appearence of Rosamond Clifford Dew, I, a male, am in the driver’s seat. Royal people do not exist without history. The Plantagenet linage begins with King Henry the second, who allegedly put Rosamond Clifford in a labyrinth, that we arrive at the center of, and await the blessed birth of my granddaughter, that I suggest be named Rosamond Clifford Dew.

When I first met Anistara Ma Kandice I knew she was my mentor. She was not offering coaching at the time but I held her close as a friend until her program launched and, of course, I was one of the first to sign up!
Before working with Anistara I was afraid of fully embracing my higher calling, to support people on their path for spiritual awakening. I worried about losing my old identity as a dental office professio…

Viscountess Rosamond Cornelia Gwladys Guest

Rosamond Guest was named after Fair Rosamond who lived at Woodstock. Her kin, Henry Guest was first cousin of Winston Churchill and was the head of the OSS and may have helped set up the British Defense Staff Washington, and knew Commander Ian Easton, and his wife, Rena Easton, my Muse, who inspired me to author several Bond books because I am kin to Fleming, via my cousin, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor.
“We have arrived at the Blenheim Palace Labyrinth that is at the core of my autobiography ‘Capturing Beauty’ that includes the true story of my late sister, who was the world famous artist ‘Rosamond’.
This morning I watched a video of Anthony being interviewed by Charlie Rose about his book ‘True Colors’. Christine has met a kindred soul. He is the art critic I have been searching for. There was an argument about “manners”. CZ was an authority on this. This is the tip of the iceberg. CZ aspired to be an actress and dated Errol Flynn, as did my mother and aunt, who died not knowing Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor is our kin. Anthony wrote the definitive book on art comingled with the pop and celebrity culture, that Liz trail blazed. I will read ‘True Colors’ so I can ground the success of my late sister in a reputable critique, that, good, or bad, will be an honest one. I would like to interview Anthony.

Fair Rosamond by John Presco 6/2/23
On June 2, 2023, John Presco and Royal Rosamond Press entered the realm of Artificial Intelligence, and rendered works of art, that will be published as Royal Rosamond Art. I generated images from a photograph of Rena Easton who wanted to be place in my Muse Hall of Fame. The art piece of Rena getting a cat out of a tree, is superb. I have pondered many times about putting an object in her hand. A lantern was one choice. That a computer can ponder over this puzzle, and come up with a solution, with no prompt from me, convinces me that AI is real – and creative! What was done with the images of the Rosamond Daughters, reminds me of Fanny Corey, who encouraged Royal Rosamond to write. The name Rosamond is connected to Grimm, and Walt Disney. I am their realm.
Ten years ago I set out to do a painting of Fair Rosamond because I liked nothing that I had seen, so far. I started a painting from the photograph Rena Christensen had given me, but never completed it. Today, I have finished rendering that truly inspires me! Below are my creations as I learned my computer craft.

To Rosemounde: A Balade
Madame, ye ben of al beaute shryne
As fer as cercled is the mapamounde,
For as the cristal glorious ye shyne,
And lyke ruby ben your chekes rounde.
Therwith ye ben so mery and so jocounde
That at a revel whan that I see you daunce,
It is an oynement unto my wounde,
Thogh ye to me ne do no daliaunce.
For thogh I wepe of teres ful a tyne,
Yet may that wo myn herte nat confounde;
Your semy voys that ye so smal out twyne
Maketh my thoght in joy and blis habounde.
So curtaysly I go with love bounde
That to myself I sey in my penaunce,
“Suffyseth me to love you, Rosemounde,
Thogh ye to me ne do no daliaunce.”
Nas neuer pyk walwed in galauntyne
As I in love am walwed and ywounde,
For which ful ofte I of myself devyne
That I am trew Tristam the secounde.
My love may not refreyde nor affounde,

Do what you lyst, I wyl your thral be founde,
Thogh ye to me ne do no daliaunce.
Spy Weddings at Belmont
Posted on February 28, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
I want to move to Belmont. I will need a means to make living there, in the home of my ancestors. How about I minister to Espionage Weddings? I am kin to Ian Fleming and am authoring a spy novel. Belmont needs a Character and Author in Residence. I will conduct Nazarite Weddings. I will spend my days in a Gypsie Wagon modeled after the work of my kin Augustus John. I will read my Tom Poems while my sheep keep the grass low at Twin Piness Park.

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,
1864-1910, page 133).

Yesterday, The Belmont Soda Works – rose from the ashes like a Phoenix Bird. That a Senator refers to Jason Bourne and “spy movies and books” is a REAL COUP for me, and a testimonial to my amazing research, and this blog. My Man In The Field, Spooky Noodles, suggested more than once, important people -must be reading Royal Rosamond Press! Four of my characters suffer from a Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Victoria Rosemond Bond, does sculptures to deal with her GAD at BAD. I wanted my spies to be VERY HUMAN, for in looking within for what makes us tick, they have boosted their powers of observation.

The clip went viral on social media earlier this week, prompting conservatives to mock the ad.
“If you’re a Chinese communist, or an Iranian Mullah, or Kim Jong Un…would this scare you? We’ve come a long way from Jason Bourne,” Cruz tweeted late Monday, mentioning the protagonist of the “Bourne Identity” spy movies and books.
A CIA spokeswoman told Insider: “In 2019, we started our ongoing social media series, “Humans of CIA,” for real officers to share their firsthand experiences.”
Trump also tweeted, “China and Russia love this,” adding in a second tweet that the two countries were “laughing their asses off watching CIA go full woke. ‘Cisgender.’ ‘Intersectional.’”

“I did not sneak into CIA,” she adds. “I earned my way in, and I earned my way up the ranks.”
Senator Ted Cruz made disparaging remarks about a CIA advertisement that featured a woman who labeled herself in a manner that offended Senator Cruz. Because the Central Intelligence Agency is a United States Government institution, paid for by Tax Payers, I believe it is wise to found a Private Company that has the best interests of the U.S. at heart, and owns Bad Intentions for our Enemies who threaten us. My company will be an overt enterprise, verses a covert company that disguises its true intentions. Because I rendered the protagonists of my Spy Novel ‘The Royal Janitor’ a bi-sexual, and other characters, homosexual, I have shown that I am All Inclusive. Cissgender works for me.
True Patriotism does not come with any other labels attached. If you love your country, you are qualified. There is no training for work at the CIA in the private sector. I will teach writers how to author a Spy and Detective novels, and do works of art with a powerful message. I am kin to Ian Fleming via Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor. My grandparents were friends of Black Mask authors. Royal Rosamond went camping with Dashiell Hammett. We are a Think Tank. Analyzing information is key to anticipating the next move of foes.
I am employing the name of a company owned and operated by one of my kin, William Janke, who lived in Belmont, and made a soda. I will use the Belmont Soda Works Ca. bottle as my logo. This will include a horseshoe in the cote of arms I will design.

Why are Australian officials hinting at war with China? (msn.com)
- The CIA released a recruitment ad starring a Latina officer identifying as a “cisgender millennial.”
- It’s part of the “Humans of CIA” series meant to attract a more diverse pool of candidates.
- Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump Jr. mocked the CIA on Monday; Trump said it’d gone “full woke.”
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Donald Trump Jr. have derided the CIA for releasing a recruitment ad starring a female staffer who celebrated being a “cisgender millennial” with anxiety.
The video, released on YouTube by the CIA as part of its “Humans of CIA” series on March 25, sees a Latina woman talk candidly about identity and success.
“I am a woman of color. I am a mom. I am a cisgender millennial who has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I am intersectional, but my existence is not a box-checking exercise,” the woman says.
“I did not sneak into CIA,” she adds. “I earned my way in, and I earned my way up the ranks.”

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?
Below is a video I made after I met with LDS Sisters who wanted to meet at the genealogy center to look at these illustrious people who have a magnificent crypt in Berlin. I don’t know if I told them I was considering putting Amanda Gorman in my painting of the two pages saving our electoral votes.

“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 believe the New Zion will be where the new LDS Temple is going to be built, a mile or more away from where I live. The Mormons built their cosmology on DNA and Family Trees. Deseret lies next to the Louisiana Purchase. I can now SEE all of what I saw in part. I have been called MAD by all who bonded with me. I kept a record of my Fantastic Quest! I can Baptize by the river.

Brief Life History of Elizabeth Dorothy
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.
Belmont A Capitol of German Culture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Cemetery_(Redwood_City,_California)
Union Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Woodside Road (CA 84) near El Camino Real in Redwood City, San Mateo County, California. The cemetery was named a California Historical Landmark #816 in 1967, then added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[4]
History[edit]
Founded in 1859, this is the site of the first American burial ground in San Mateo County, and was originally located just outside the town limits of Redwood City.[5][4] The cemetery officially closed in 1918, but it was used for many years after that for burial of the poor.[5] There are special cemetery plots for the Masonic Order, members of the International Order of Odd Fellows and the California volunteers who fought during the Civil War.[5]
Soldier statue[edit]
The life-sized metal sculpture of a civil war veteran was erected during 1889 for a Memorial Day celebration, the earliest such celebration on the Peninsula.[5] The statue was paid for by Jane Lathrop Stanford.[6] It was vandalized in 1958, 1959 and 1969, but was subsequently repaired, and in 1999 it was replaced with a replica constructed of more durable material.[5][6]
he historic Union Cemetery at 316 Woodside Road in Redwood City will host a Memorial Day event featuring music, speeches, the decorating of graves, and the traditional anvil firing as the community gathers to honor soldiers.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Monday, May 29.
As parking can be challenging, organizers encourage biking, walking, and carpooling to Union Cemetery. Transportation to seating area is available for folks who need assistance.
Union Cemetery is a California Historic Landmark and listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the oldest burial grounds in San Mateo County. The cemetery has been closed, officially, since 1918, although Redwood City administrators used it as a paupers’ field, which is defined as a place for the burial of unknown, unclaimed or indigent people. During the Depression, those unable to afford a more prominent place continued to bury their loved ones at Union Cemetery.

William Oltman Stuttmeister went to the University of California and practiced dentistry in San Francisco. He bought two vacation properties in San Geronimo where he retired and died. The Maillard, Count Cipriani, Napoleon, and Prince Victor Napoleon connection is interesting. Is this the continuation of the Belmont Colony? Was this land purchased with a recovered treasure? Many have searched for the lost treasure of Sir Francis Drake near this valley overlooked by the ‘Sleeping Maiden’ mountain.
Below is a video showing Cipriani’s home inside Ralston’s additions. It was a portable house. An expert needs to compare this with the Tanforan cottages. Samples of the wood and screws need to taken and compared to the houses Janke brought around the Cape. William married Augusta Janke.

1. Dorthia Matilda5 Oltman (Jurgen4 Oltmann, Jacob3, Jurgen2, Peter1) was born September 13, 1829 in New York, NY, and died March 17, 1875 in San Francisco, CA. She married Frederick William R. Stuttmeister. He was born 1812 in Germany, and died January 29, 1877 in San Francisco, CA.
Children of Dorthia Oltman and Frederick Stuttmeister are:

I suspect George Wharton James took the photos of the Rosamond family, and may have taken photos of Eutrophia, Mary’s tragic sister. These sisters were very poor. James had become the publisher of Out West magazine. He was a collector of baskets like the ones we see Bonnie and June with. The four Rosamond sisters seem ill at ease. James was an eccentric. That is him carrying a cross.
We are talking about a family of models. Christine became her image model. Rena’s image graced a poster for Oktoberfest at the University of Nebraska. Did she do more modeling? Her parents had four daughters – who modeled. I am now seeking a publisher, and would like tosee more photos of Rena for my book.
If Rena had become my wife, then we would be an updated version of Royal and Mary Rosamond. This would be the merger of a modeling family. Think of how many beautiful daughters we could have brought into the world. What a great responsibility that would have been. We are not talking about clay statues.
I think Royal took the shots of Eutrophia while James set up his shoot. Note white backdrop. Eutrophia was murdered by her husband. I believe his family nearly starved to death on their farm in the Ojai Valley. Did Eutrophia’s photos appear in Out West magazine?

George Wharton James (27 September 1858[1] – 1923) was a prolific popular lecturer, photographer and journalist, writing more than 40 books and many articles and pamphlets on California and the American Southwest.

Biography[edit]
James was born in Lincolnshire, England. He was ordained as a Methodist minister and came to the United States in 1881, serving in parishes in Nevada and southern California. However, in 1889 he was sued for divorce, accused by his wife with committing numerous acts of adultery. He subsequently underwent an ecclesiastical trial, charged with real estate fraud, using faked credentials, and sexual misconduct. He was defrocked, although he was later reinstated. He had a long-running feud with Charles Fletcher Lummis, another writer with similar regional interests.[2]
James’ books included the well received[3] The Wonders of the Colorado Desert (1906), Through Ramona’s Country (1909), In and Out of the Old Missions of California (1905), and The Lake of the Sky (1915). Characteristics of his writing included romanticism, an enthusiasm for natural environments, idealization of aboriginal lifeways, and health faddism. He was associate editor of The Craftsman 1904-05, editor of Out West[4] 1912-14, and lectured at the Panama-Pacific and Panama-California expositions 1915-16.[5]
The California State Library and the University of California, Berkeley have collections of James’ books and pamphlets. A collection of his photographs is on file at the University of New Mexico. The Southwest Museum in Los Angeles also has some of his papers and photographs.

Black Mask Authors
Posted on July 28, 2013 by Royal Rosamond Press
This extremely rare photo of the first west coast Black Mask get-together on January 11, 1936 captures possibly the only meeting of several of these authors.
Pictured in the back row, from left to right, are Raymond J. Moffatt, Raymond Chandler, Herbert Stinson, Dwight Babcock, Eric Taylor and Dashiell Hammett. In the front row, again from left to right, are Arthur Barnes (?), John K. Butler, W. T. Ballard, Horace McCoy and Norbert Davis.
Rosemary told me her father, Royal Rosamond, used to sail to the Channel Islands and camp with his friend, Dashiell Hammett who is seen standing on the right in the photo above.
Aunt Lillian told me she would fall asleep listening to Royal and Erle Stanley Gardner on the typewriter in the living room. Royal was Gardner’s teacher and a member of the Black Mask. I believe I can almost recoginize Black Mask authors under the tree on Santa Cruz Island sitting under a tree with my grandmother, Mary Magdalene Rosamond, who does not look very happy as she embraces a black dog. Who is that woman? Is she a writer? She looks a bit crazed, as does the guy holding a gun. Is Mary hearing some far-out and weird ideas around the campfire?
When I was fifteen Rosemary showed me about six magazines wherein her father’s stories appeared. There were several mysteries. I am going to send the camping photo to some experts. That looks like Raymond Chandler in front of the tent. Is he the guy packing heat?
Hammett wrote the Maltese Falcon that begins with a story about the Knight Templars. Was this a tale passed around the campfire on Santa Cruz Island?

Fanny Corey could have worked for Walt Disney. Were they aware on one another? Fanny and her brother encouraged my grandfather to become a writer. Fanny’s magical illustrations were known all over the world. Her books came out about 1920. The Hobbit was published in 1937. The Chronicles of Nania were published around 1954. I will be putting Fanny in the Liz Taylor Society I am forming.
