“Called KEZI at 6:30 PM 8-12-24 Talked to Noah”
I should have received a copy of Drew Taylor Rosamond Benton’s Death Certificate – TWO WEEKS AGO! When I talked to officer Holstrom she knew Drew had been in a cold icebox FOR 23 DAYS! Is this – the norm? What is the average time it takes to SPEED the dead to yon hither side?
Holstrom knew Drew’s relatives could not be found. Why would she say “Why do you want a report?” Is she suggesting there might be a delay, if I want the report BEFORE I PAY? Did she know there was a problem, and thus I best whip out one of my credit cards, PAY, and walk away? Let the Bosley Boys do what they will.
I became a member of the Oddfellows a year ago. This is what I DO NOT want to know……
Was Drew Benton tortured and crucified with a blunt and sharp instrument, then thrown over a three story balcony? She survived the impact that broke her pelvis, and was crawling on the ground when fellow tenants saw her. She was talking. Did she say she was thrown over the railing, and name anybody? Did this person say she tried to kill herself? Did she tell the rescue people in the ambulance someone tried to murder her? Did they wonder if she was on a drug that drove her crazy? Did they strap her down in a padded room because she is screaming? Did they hook her up to any monitors? Was she in handcuffs? Did she die of a heart attack, and is found ten minutes later when the screaming stops?
I am just WONDERING! I have a right to WONDER! I have an obligation – TO WONDER! Did anyone know she jumped and severely broke her pelvis? Did the rescue people pick her up – and she is screaming in pain? Is she swinging at them telling them to – STOP? Do the police – put her in handcuffs. Is she strapped down which causes more pain – that causes her to have a heart attack at 38 years of age? Cardiac Arrest can be caused by very rapid heart rate. When was it discovered my niece had a broken pelvis – at her autopsy? When did the idea she took her life – come up?
Under the circumstances Holstrom should have given me getting this report – TOP PRIORITY! Why didn’t the Bullhead Police Department give this Death Report – TOP PRIORITY? Do you think this is a good question? I mean, most people don’t want to get involved in anything controversial. Right? They tend to walk away, or turn their backs. My niece Shannon Rosamond Benton – DID NOT – respond to my Facebook messages informing her half-sister was dead! WHY? Would you like to know?
On September 25, 2025, at Noon, I left a message for Noah, who is a reporter for KEZI News in Eugene. On 8-12-24 Noah said he would call officer Holstrom and get her to talk to me.
John Presco
EXTRA! I just sent this message. I wondered why officer Holstrom did not look in Drew’s phone and computier for her relatives. Maybe some did repond, and got a cold reception. Holstrom had to know Drew died of Cardiac arrest. I believe she told me she took her life. I have notes all over the place.
Forty-three days ago, Noah, a reporter for KEZI. said he would call the Bullhead City police and get the officer who handled the death of my niece to call me. She is kin to Senator Thomas Hart Benton. This was forty-three days ago. Several days later I request a police report that I have not received. I got Drew Benton’s ashes with a death certificate that says she died of “Multiple blunt and sharp force injuries”. Her autopsy says she died of cardiac arrest in the hospital at thirty-eight years of age at midnight. The certificate says she died at 10:P/M. two hours earlier of an attempted suicide. I don’t buy it. Here is the case# 24-242

Dug Out Of Our Graves – How Many Times?
Posted on July 21, 2024 by Royal Rosamond Press
Someone is trying to inform me of what I already know. What’s their motive? When I first post on the Belmont Historical Society Facebook, I saw my posts – vanish – without comment. Later, Cynthia McCarthy said my posts were removed to be judged if they ARE SPAM, and would be put back up – if they pass the litmus test. I wondered if the unknown moderators – were racists – and had rifled through my blog to see WHAT KIND OF MAN I AM. I had posted my family group photos and a link to the artwork of Carl Jankes descendant, who did a painting title ‘Lena and Her Sisters’. I believe it was Black History Month.
Last night before I went to bed, the news was talking about the controversy surrounding Kamala Harris. Thar controversy began in my posts. made over three years ago.
When someone is buried they are put below ground. In trying to ascertain when the Jankes were dug out of their grave beneath the Bay tree, I found a citation saying the DAR did a survey in 1937 of grave markers. Doris Vannier says the Jankes were dug up in the middle of the night, but, does not say what year. Cynthia McCarthy had to know about this DIGGING UP – and was hiding it from me. This is why she ABUSED ME on Facebook. Everyone has the right – TO HONNOR THEIR DEAD!
Above is a photo of a young man who had come across headstones on the beach. He is reading the name and the date – with natural reverence – even though he is not related to the deceased. Cynthia McCarthy published a book on the history of Belmont, with the blessing of Denny Lawhern. I was a great threat to these two historians because I am RELATED to the Founders of Belmont. Not once did they comment on the art of Rosamond, one of the most successful women artist in history. I knew I was dealing with…
UNDERGROUND MONSTERS
The grave marker we see in the Union Cemetery was not made in 1937. I demand the City of Belmont hire a private investigator to SEARCH for the lost Janke tombstone. This is extremely upsetting to me. The idea of Eternal Rest has been shattered – for me!

“He erected the old amusement hall of the Turnverein, and managed this for several years.”
Janke may be the first real estate developer in the San Francisco bay area.

Posted on February 24, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press
I had a psychic hit that there was trouble coming. Add to this posts on facebook I read where Trump supporters declared they will fight to the death, one did not need to be – that much of a Seer! Why then didn’t any of our spendy Intelligence agencies SEE what was coming? How about foreign spies? Do Russia and Israel keep a close score which way the wind is blowing in our Un-United States? How about black leaders and journalists? Did they sound a warning – that went unheeded. AFTA was being blamed – before hand! Did the FBI get fooled by this right-wing smokescreen? I don’t like the Capitol Insurrection Hearing, so far, because THE MAIN TARGET of these white militias – is black people.
Stuttmeister ‘The Wonder Man’ | Rosamond Press
February is Black History Month. In July of last year I founded the Black Turners and the Marin Shipmates, a all Black Navy. I posted this video of the Chilean army doing the goosestep – on a Black Panther group! I was banned. I formed the New Army of the Potomac, so there will forever be s standing force of Black Soldiers prepared for the next attack of neo-Confederate Racists – who will never give up! Never!
What I suggest is the formation of a First Patriot Alert System where eight Congressman are linked to a special message system on their phones and computers. There will be four Republicans, and four Democrats. If four of the eight see a dire emergency, they will sound the alarm, that will launch the New Army of the Potomac into action. And, here they come, marching down Pennsylvania Avenue with United Nations armored vehicles – because the United Nations should play a role in safeguarding our elections that are being conducted along racial, and radical religious, lines. The American Taliban – is real! They present an ever increasing threat to Black People – they target! Let their worse nightmare – come true! We are dealing with dangerous mentally ill paranoids.
I am for Washington D.C. becoming a State, and, Sovereign Democratic Nation that will represent all the Democracies of the World…..The United Democratic Nations. UDN. There are forty million black citizens in America. Native Americans can be more represented in the UDN Washington. I got on facbook while the Insurection was gong on and read this post from a woman;
“Can we get another nation to intervene?”
William Stuttmeister married Augustus Janke at Ralston Hall. His father sailed from Germany to New York, and then Chile, where the Forty-Eighters had made a colony. They are Prussians. Is this why the Chilean Government adopted the Prussian style parade.
Two nights ago, I saw black tombstones stuck in the mud along a river fifty miles from our Capitol. A black cemetery was closed, and the markers with names were used to shore up the river. The desecration of graves and statures has to stop. The TEARING DOWN stage – is over! I am going to apply for a grant so that I can hire other researchers into the role the Turners and Forty-Eigters played in freeing the slaves. I suspect the Turner history of Belmont was deliberately erased during World War One when there was ant-German sentiment. The Jessie Benton Scouts waged a covert war with the Emperor of Mexico and France. Drew Benton is kin to Emperor Napoleon the third.
The children in the tree at Belmont Park may be the cherished offspring of the Oddfellow’s. Eight thousand came to Belmont on the train, and, by ship.
“Yesterday I received information from Shirley Schwoerer of the Redwood City Library, that said my ancestor, Carl August Janke, was instrumental in establishing a Turnverien in Belmont, and the Bay Area. Was it the first?”
I suspect the Janke-Stuttmeister family waa targeted – along with the Oddfellows – when our graves were dug open, and our bodies evicted from our graves. The Oddfellows had a special bond and vow they made with their dead. We never recovered – till now! In Berlin the Stuttmeisters were very wealthy merchants and owned much property. They gave it all up. There had to be a reason. I believe they were leaders of the Turnverein Forty-Eighters, many who became military leaders for the Union, and personal bodyguards to Jessie and John Fremont, a co-founder of the Abolitionist Republican Party.
Alice Stuttmeister is the woman at the base of the tree, to the right of the portly gentleman, who may be Carl Janke, her grandfather. She married William Broderick, who is seated next to her. This was taken in the Oakland Hills.

Militia groups believed Trump was on their side, says terrorism expertAwkward moment as House Republican leaders clash over Trump speaking at…
Democratic fury over the mob attack on the Capitol and its aftermath is spilling into nearly every aspect of life in the House, squashing hopes for comity and threatening even mundane legislative tasks like the naming of a local post office.
He points out that the state has been a longtime home to right-wing militia activity, spurred years ago by the reduction in federal timber payments as well as increasingly limited government services in some rural areas.
“Militias moved in to take up some of that work, to act as first responders,” he says.

“No entity, including the FBI, provided any intelligence indicating that there would be a coordinated violent attack on the United States Capitol by thousands of well-equipped armed insurrectionists,” he testified in written remarks about a conference call the day before the attack.
The Democratic chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, said, “There was a failure to take this threat more seriously.”
HE SAID, HE SAID
As hundreds of rioters stormed the Capitol, breaking into the iconic building’s windows and doors, sometimes in hand-to-hand combat with police, there are conflicting accounts from the security officials over what happened next.
Sund, who had raised the idea of calling on the National Guard for backup days earlier, specifically recounted a 1:09 p.m. phone call he made to the then-sergeant-at-arms of the House, Paul Irving, his superior, requesting National Guard troops.
Sund said he was told they would run it up the chain of command .
Irving said he has no recollection of the conversation at that time and instead recalls a conversation nearly 20 minutes later. He said the 1:09 p.m. call does not show up on his cellphone log.
Takeaways from Congress’ first hearing on Capitol riot | The Seattle Times
FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE
Intelligence warnings of an armed uprising by extremist groups heading to the Capitol didn’t rise to the level of alarm — or even get passed up the chain of command — in time for the Jan. 6 attack.
Crucially, a key warning flare from the FBI field office in Norfolk, Virginia, of a “war” on the Capitol was sent the night before to the Capitol Police’s intelligence division. But then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund testified that he only learned about it the day before Tuesday’s hearing.
Instead, Sund said he was bracing for demonstrations on par with other armed protests by mobs of Trump’s supporters in the nation’s capital in November and December after the presidential election.

Tombstones from long ago surfacing on S.F. beach (sfgate.com)
Four years ago, Virginia State Senator Richard Stuart and his wife Lisa were exploring their new farm on the Potomac River when they saw something in the water that brought tears to her eyes and made him feel ill.
“Lisa and I looked at each other, and both of us said, is that a headstone? Then we looked, and we saw another and another and another,” the lawmaker told CBS News’ Chip Reid.
“It was just a horrible feeling to think that this person’s headstone was here on our shoreline… and not where it belonged with her body, where her family could grieve and mourn and remember her life,” Lisa said.
Since discovering the headstones, Richard said, “we’ve been working to get them back where they belong.”
The couple consulted with historians, who followed the trail of names to the Columbian Harmony Cemetery in Washington, D.C.
Los Angeles 1898
A popular Union commander and native German, Major General Franz Sigel was the highest ranking German-American officer in the Union Army, with many Germans enlisting to “fight mit Sigel.” Sigel was a political appointment of President Abraham Lincoln, who hoped that Sigel’s immense popularity would help deliver the votes of the increasingly important German segment of the population[citation needed]. He was a member of the Forty-Eighters, a political movement of the revolutions in German states that led to thousands of Germans emigrating to the United States. These included such future Civil War officers as Maj. Gen. Carl Schurz, Brig. Gen. August Willich, Louis Blenker, Max Weber and Alexander Schimmelfennig.
Schurz was part of the socio-political movement in America known as the Turners, who contributed to getting Lincoln elected as President. The Turners provided the bodyguard at Lincoln’s inauguration on March 4, 1861, and also at Lincoln’s funeral in April 1865.
Yesterday I discovered one of my great grandfathers founded a Turnverein Hall on Bush Street in San Francisco. This hall was a place one could go hear music and practice gymnastics. The Seamens Friendly Union met here, and the Vigilance Committee. Plays were performed, and debates held. This is the radical root of San Francisco that I have traced to the Longshoreman’s Hall and the first Acid Tests. The Turner hall offered music and other entertainment as an alternative to gambling and prostitution. My father was a Merchant Marine and would be pleased to know the first institution for furthering sailor rights met in the Bush hall.
“All seamen are invited to attend at the Turn Verein Hall on Bush Street between Stockton and Powell Streets on Thursday Evening, January 11 at 7 1/2 o’clock to form a Seamens Society for the Pacific Coast.”
The Vigilance Committee combatted corruption and violence. These were idealists that lay the groundwork for a city famous for it cultural revolutions.

Above are my grandparents having picnic in the Oakland Hills. There is a sharpshooters rifle hanging in the tree. Janke had marksman contests Belmont Park. Many Turnverein were Socialists and Marxists.

Israeli National-Socialists
Posted on September 18, 2011by Royal Rosamond Press
Israel was founded by Socialists who got a foothold in Palestine via the Maccabi Sports Clubs that sprang from the German Turnverein, or, Turn Verein, Turner Societies, founded by Freiderich Jahn a Prussian, who is considered by some to be the Father of National-Socialisms, or, the Nazis. I suspect my kin, Carl Janke, was a Turnverein and established a Turner Society in Belmont that later merged with the Oddfellows. William Ralston, whose home was in Belmont, provided the funds to spread the Oddfellows throughout Europe, beginning in Germany, where Jews and Gentiles met in Turnverien clubs, worked out together, talked business, and promoted the idea that their children should marry. Then the Germans wanted the Jews out, and they formed their own Turnverein clubs that became the Maccabi gymnasts who began to colonize Palastine.
After world war one there was a prejudice against Germans, and Turnverein was changed to Tanforan, the alleged kin of a Mexican Spaniard.
The Zionist Socialists of Israel would have you believe, great Rabbis and Jewish Prophets, founded the nation of Israel, for the sake of the evangelical prophets from Ireland. Worng! This is pure Nationalism – without God!

“W.A. Janke, founded the Belmont Picnic Grounds, and the first Turn Verein on Bush Street.”
Yesterday I received information from Shirley Schwoerer of the Redwood City Library, that said my ancestor, Carl August Janke, was instrumental in establishing a Turnverien in Belmont, and the Bay Area. Was it the first?
“He erected the old amusement hall of the Turnverein, and managed this for several years.”
Janke may be the first real estate developer in the San Francisco bay area.
“In 1849 the family came around the Horn on an old Clipper ship, and Mr. Janke brought with him on the trip the material for six portable houses. He set up these houses, and at once engaged in a successful business, as a building contractor.”
This information confirms my theory that the Tanforan cottages in the Mission, are the Turnverein cottages that Janke brought around the Cape in order to establish a German community of Freethinkers in the New Western Land of the Free -free of church rule! The Jüdischen Turnverein was established for the same reason. For awhile Jews and Germans shared the same Turnverien in Berlin, and were seen as Liberal-Socialists. San Francisco is considered the most Liberal and ethnically diverse city in the world where folks from the old world can practice their traditions of total freedom. Hitler banned and persecuted the Freethinkers, and outlawed the Turnverein.
The membership of the new clubs was more inclusive, as the cor of students and academics which had made up the rank and file of the Turnverein in its early years was joined by a large contingent of craft workers, along with many Jewish members, often in positions of leadership. These gymnastic clubs were often closely aligned with workers’ organizations and democratic clubs with whom they shared a desire for reform and a rejection of traditional hierarchies.
They even imparted a new spirit to their gymnastic program by initiating training sessions for children and, far more radical in light of the times, for women as well. Flaunting their rebellious spirit, the gymnasts of Vormärz wore their hair long and sported large black hats decorated with a rooster feather instead of the more formal attire of the Biedermeier period.
Given the radicalization of the movement in the 1840s, it is not surprising that the German gymnasts were directly involved in the 1848 revolutions. Turnverein leaders won renown for their leading roles in local uprisings,
The Turnverein as an organization was most closely associated with the uprisings in Baden, the center of the radical sentiment in southwest Germany

The first organization of seamen in the United States occurred in January of 1866 when the following notice appeared in a San Francisco paper:
Fremont’s Foreign Fighters
Posted on August 21, 2015by Royal Rosamond Press
The Fremont family spent much time in Europe. I believe Elizabeth Fremont burned the reason why. John and Jessie had a bodyguard made up of foreigners. They feared a foreign invasion, and Lincoln was aware of this;
“President knew we were on the eve of England, France and Spain recognizing the South: they were anxious for a pretext to do so; England on account of her cotton interests, and France because the Emperor dislikes us.”
Above is a photo of Germans reenacting Civil War battles. This is because 200,000 Germans fought in this bloody war. Many of them were Turners. My Prussian and German ancestors were Turners in the Bay Area and had to know what role they would play before my kindred in South Carolina went to war with the Union.
I suspect Carl Janke was part of an effort to make California a colony of the German Unification, if not the Liberal Prussian Capital of a revolt that was taking place throughout Europe led by the Forty-Eighters who made up the Radical Republicans, who nominated John Fremont as their first candidate for office of President of the United States. Lincoln could not have become President without the Germans who must have backed the Fourteenth Amendment so their children could be recognized Citizens of the U.S.A.
In Sunshine magazine, Jessie Fremont says Britain was getting ready to import (deport) thousands of pesky Irish Catholics to California, who could be made into an army to fight for the Confederacy. If the Union fell, I suspect Fremont was prepared to declare a Nation of the West, and launch a European front to defeat the foreign allies of Slave Masters Consider ISIS Slave Masters recruiting Europeans to come take young girls slaves, and rape them. Mary Confederate Generals raped young black slaves.
When Janke brought six portable house around the Cape and erected them in Belmont, it is said he did so to provide housing for gold miners who struck it rich. But gold had not been discovered. I believe these homes were made for leaders of the Prussian Unification and founding of the Prussian State of California and a United West, that was not a part of the Union. I suspect John Fremont gave much of his gold to this Nation Building.
Seamens Friendly Union Society
All seamen are invited to attend at the Turn Verein Hall on Bush Street between Stockton and Powell Streets on Thursday Evening, January 11 at 7 1/2 o’clock to form a Seamens Society for the Pacific Coast.
This meeting resulted in organization of the Seamens Friendly Union and Protective Society. Alfred Enquist was elected president and George McAlpine, secretary. It was the first organization of seamen in this country, perhaps the first in the world. In 1875, the United Seamen’s Association was formed in the port of New York, and it sent a delegation to Congress to petition for laws to protect seamen. The delegation, according to a news report in The New York Times of January 21, was “graciously received by the President.”
No more was heard of this organization.
The Seamen’s Friendly Union and Protective Society in San Francisco did not last long, and the next organization to come along was the Seamen’s Protective Union formed in San Francisco in 1878 with 800 members. It, too, had a short life.

San Francisco is considered the most Liberal and ethnically diverse city in the world where folks from the old world can practice their traditions of total freedom. Hitler banned and persecuted the Freethinkers, and outlawed the Turnverein because he was a devout Christian. Consider the support the Sephardic Jews gave William of Orange in his war against Papal rule in Britain. Members of the Jüdischen Turnverein were instrumental in the founding of the Socialist state of Israel, and thus can be seen a Messiahnic orginazation that did name itself after the Messiah, Bar Kochba, “son of the star”.
It is time for Democrats to reach out to members of the Republican Party and show them their traditional roots.
