Semple apologizing for terrorism of homeless advocates.
Eugene City Councilor Emily Semple publicly apologized Monday for saying a homeless protest camp is engaging in “terrorism.”
Semple made that remark during the Sept. 17 Eugene Human Rights Commission while describing negative impacts the camp, now located along the curb at West 11th Avenue and Lawrence Street, is having on nearby residents and business owners.
“I am very frustrated and upset. This has become the face of homelessness, which has hurt every single homeless person in this city,” she said, according to a video of the meeting. “It’s making people angrier, both the merchants and nonprofits there, but (also) everyone who drives by. I believe in protest, and I believe this has become terrorism.”

When You Close Your Eyes Hardback – 2000
by Tom Snyder
I have identifed Krista as the person who asked me this question…
“If you are so famous, why are you living on Section 8 – John?”
In a video, Kim Haffner, accuses me of using my sister’s book, and fame, to REEL PEOPLE IN. Haffner and Krista are suggesting I am deluded in claiming I am kin to famous people, and, am just saying this in order to seduce young girls – as Alley Valkyrie suggests in her fake post! I believe Krista brings up Alley and Belle, as if she is a Social Worker, and was misusing her access to private information to DEFAME ME, and, GET ME LOCKED-UP in an institution like the Johnson Unit where Kim Haffner worked for many years.
When I found out from Sue Haffner, she and her husband went to Reseda High when Garth Benton did, I made the mistake of saying there is a biography about Garth, Christine, and Drew Benton. This is a famous artistic family – I AM RELATED TO! I am also related to Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor. I ordered a copy of Snyder’s book, and gave it to Kim Haffner to read. After three weeks I asked for it back. Kim said she did not read it, which I did not believe, because her parents were anxious to get a report. It was then I noticed pages had been dogeared. I asked Kim if she gave this bio to anyone, and they read it. That’s when everything went south. Kim is on the brink of losing face with her Super Christian Mom, who she says caused her great psychosis harm – with her self-righteous shaming. Kim employs five of my neighbors so SHAME THE SHIT OUT OF ME IN THE HAFFENER SNAKE&SHAME PIT. Kim is a pro! Did she ever wrestle a out of control patient to the ground – and sit on them?
Mentally ill Cheryl Walton is recruited. Kim and I talked about all the crazy things she does in public. Below is a pic of Cheryl showing up at my door in her pajamas’. She has a pen and pad in hand in order to set times for her to come onto my balcony to sweep up the ness she drops down on it. I complained to management. I agreed to allow her caregiver to sweep, but, THIS NUT has a GIANT CRUSH on me, and is all excited at the idea of us sitting on the couch with me – in her pajamas! Maybe I will go for it – and she cries…..RAPE! Then she has me in her life – forever! So would Kim and Krista. who read all about Belle – THE STALKER! This is – REAL SEX ABUSE that I talked about with my therapist and others. But what this truly is, is a;;;
CONSPIRACY TO DERPIVE ME OF MY CIVIL RIGHTS
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person […] in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;…
“If you are so famous, why are you living on Section 8 – John?”
I’m now going to get an attorney and launch a complaint with all interested parties who protect all Americans and their rights. Why didn’t Kim call Cahoots, or Krista. Listen to Kim Hafners diabolical laugh to know who much she is enjoying HER GANG of Tormentors!
Here is a video of me running into my childhood friend, Nancy Hamren at the dedication of the Ken Kesey mural. The Kesey family named a yogurt after her. Nancy got me on the bus with Ken in the Eugene Celebration Parade. Compare the two videos. One if full of light and famous people. The other is epitome of darkness as UTTER NOBODIES go after a artist, a writer, and the owner of a newspaper.
Kin knew I was writing an autobiography. She told me she had talked to my daughters and they were in agreement about what a horrible person I was. My attorney will talk to my daughter. Krista lover refused to give me his name. How did he gather enough knowledge to conclude I need to jailed, or, put in an institution. Did Krista read my sister’s biography. There is a movie script about Christine and her family. Am I in it? I’m going to write my own screenplay. Perhaps my movie will be compared to One Flew Over The Coocoo’s Nests – especially when they read the literary opinion of Fairewolf who backed Alley Valkyrie, who took over Ken Kesey Square?
I have told several professional I am suffered affects from being stalked – that explode when I heard my niece had committed suicide by stabbing herself 22 times, and jumping off a balcony. A friend told me she was terrified because her stalker came back into her place of work. He went to prison for putting Drew Benton on top of his “kill list” I reached out to professional. I have not heard back. Here is a literary review from Storm Fairewolf a Facebook friend of Alley Valkyrie who is broadcasting about Belle and I – like crazy! Alley is getting a lot of attention! Devil Boy sells hexes. Did Keasy every experience this kind of – OPPRESION?
Haffner told me she was a registered nurse and was steeped in psychology. We were friends. I wanted her to read Snyder’s book and give me a professional opinion. I told her not to pass this book around amongst our neighbors, and, there were lies about the sexual abuse of children, I did not want to be subjected to vicious gossiping. I told Kim I suffer from PTSD. How many of our neighbors did this evil woman reel into her ongoing psycho-drama, of eating herself to death? She thought we would be lovers. How many of my readers think she should not have a Nurse’s certificate? How many members of the Haffner family said we would make a great couple. Do you see it? Do you hear it…that vengeful laugh! I opened up my life to a…….GOSSIP MONSTER! I gave IT bloody raw meat!
I never talked to Krista and her lover who said “You need to be locked up”. He refused to give me his name. They had lived here two years. But, now they knew ALL ABOUT ME, and were letting our neighbors know who I am by making false accusations – very loudly!

Conspiracy against rights is a federal offense in the United States of America under 18 U.S.C. § 241:
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person […] in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;…
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.[1][2]
When Hitler threatened Howard Young and members of the Rosemond family, he closed his prestigious gallery and came to America on a ship. He set up a new gallery in the Elysee Chateau, that Scientology now owns. Howard sold art to famous Hollywood stars who were the Icons of American Culture, and not religious cult figures. Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor is in the Family Tree of Mel and Jessie Lyman, who established a modern-day cult around the tower on Fort Hill built to honor the Rebels who defeated civilized normal folks. Dame Liz renounced her American citizenship after becoming the greatest All American Beauty of all time. I would have preferred Gene Tierney have played Brown in National Velvet because she is perhaps the most beautiful woman that ever walked the earth – and she was insane.

If Belle had posed for me, would these Domestic Terrorists forbid me to exhibit my painting of Belle Burch? These death threats are appearing on Facebook in May of 2014. Two creeps offer to stalk me. Above is a pic I took of Belle at our meeting in the Wandering Goat. She is writing her e-mail address. Alley says I called the police and FBI. I showed two Springfield Police email threats on Facebook. Glenn Combs is writing fiction in order to incite people to violence. He makes up a story about a woman going to legal aid.

What Is Stalking?
Stalking is a dangerous, potentially lethal, crime. While legal definitions vary from one jurisdiction to another, stalking is generally understood to be a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. Stalkers use a variety of actions to frighten, harass, and control their victims. Stalking may include following a person; driving by a victim’s place of employment or school; sending unwanted gifts, cards, or e-mails; persistently calling or text messaging; tracking a victim’s whereabouts using technology such as cameras or global positioning systems (GPSs); vandalizing property; and threatening to hurt the victim, his or her family, another person, or pets.
Stalking is a crime in all 50 states and at the federal level, and it can happen to anyone regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic location, or personal associations. The majority of stalking victims are women and most stalkers are men, but men can be victims, too.

Don’t Let The Dream Die
by
Jon Presco
Above is an image of a page from my late sister’s biography, which I don’t want you to go buy, because it is not clear if the proceeds are going to my nieces, who Christine named as her Heirs. The author is a ghost writer hired by Stacey Pierrot who was sold my sister’s estate. Only two family members contributes to this evil book that talks about the sexual abuse of children. Tom Snyder is not a trained therapist. He never knew Christine. No one else was left anything, but Garth, who was a left a dollar lest he sue.
The impact of stalking
Stalking can take a devastating toll on victims physically, psychologically and emotionally
Stalking has a terrible impact on victims, leaving them traumatised for weeks, months and even years. This can be the primary goal of a stalker. Other offenders are oblivious to the feelings of the person they’re targeting and are only focused on their own motivations and needs.
Anyone on the receiving end of unwanted and repeated attention is likely to feel anxiety and concern. However, the accumulated effect over time can have a severe impact on a victim’s psychological, physical and financial health. A recent Scottish Government survey* asked people who had been stalked what impact it had on them:
- 94% said they made changes to their life or work patterns
- 53% said they changed or left jobs
- 39% said they moved home
- 83% reported increased anxiety
- 75% felt powerless
- 74% had experienced disrupted sleep
- 55% said they suffered fatigue
- 55% had flashbacks and intrusive thoughts
- 24% had suicidal thoughts.
* Scottish Crime and Justice Survey 2018
Because they have little control over the stalker’s behaviour, victims often feel helpless. They experience fear and extreme stress, worrying over not only about what is currently happening but also what might happen next and how the stalking will end.
People being targeted often report chronic stress and anxiety, periods of low mood and depression. In some cases, victims can experience symptoms associated with trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. It’s not uncommon for victims to become so fearful they don’t feel safe leaving their home. Victims talk about a loss of trust, great strain being placed on relationships with their partner, friends and work colleagues. This can result in feeling isolated. They often blame themselves, feeling humiliated and guilty that somehow they are responsible for the stalker’s actions.
Living with high levels of stress over days, weeks and months can also have an impact on physical health, including disturbed sleep, fatigue, stomach problems, headaches, migraines, poor concentration and other physical symptoms.
In an attempt to cope, people being stalked sometimes adopt unhealthy or self-harming behaviours like taking up smoking (or increasing cigarette use), abusing alcohol, illegal or prescription drugs and, in some cases, they have suicidal thoughts.
Financial impact
Being stalked can carry a high price. Victims have talked about its negative influence on work performance, time keeping, sick leave, with a resulting impact on their career. People become preoccupied, display poor concentration and have reported an inability to focus. Some victims have lost their job as a result, while others change careers or leave their workplace.
People can only feel safe by moving house or relocating to another town or city. Victims report doing everything they can to increase their safety, installing CCTV, increasing the security around their house, changing doors and locks at significant cost.

The Adventures of Rosemond Wilding
Posted on March 18, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
My mother, Rosemary Rosamond, and my sister, Christine Rosamond Benton, died not know they were related to Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor. With the discovery of Frank Taylor’s written words to Augustus John, where he mentions the two movies that would make Elizabeth a star, fate and the muses enjoin one of the most profound literary, cinematic, and artistic legacies in the world. John is related to Ian Fleming, and Wilding was a famous British actor who had a son by Rosemond. Christopher Wilding married Aileen Getty, thus all members of the Getty family are kin to Ian Fleming, and, can relate to James Bond, who is being raised from the dead – without success! I suggest, Liz Taylor be raised from the dead in a series of books and films. The Adventures of Rosemond Wilding can be at the Bohemian Vanguard in the culture wars that threaten many creative people.
I know there are a tons of curses with these related families. I have cast them aside to get to the Beautiful Roses. I have so much to do. I am looking for a woman co-author, and a female artist to help complete these visions. I am the Creator of this Rosy Enterprise.

The Taylor family home in Hampstead, where Elizabeth was born in 1932, had previously been owned by Augustus John, whose paintings remained on the walls when the Taylors moved in. Elizabeth’s father Frank Taylor was an art dealer with a gallery located at 35 Old Bond Street in London. He established a close relationship with the Welsh artist. After relocating with his family to sunny California during the war, Frank opened an art gallery at the Château Elysée, but quickly relocated it to the more impressive Beverly Hills Hotel. It was at that location that such celebrities as Howard Duff, Vincent Price, James Mason, Alan Ladd, Hedda Hopper and Greta Garbo could be found selecting art for their own collections. Frank Taylor acted as John’s American agent for many years and was responsible for the artist’s popularity in the United States. The two men corresponded frequently. In a letter of 25 June 1943 Frank Taylor wrote to Augustus John: ‘We have settled down to living in California and our young daughter is by way of being a movie star, if you see a picture Lassie Come Home which will be released in September, she is in that with Roddy Macdowal, Nigel Bruce, Dame May Whitty and a lot of people, she did a bit in Jane Eyre and will be in The White Cliffs of Dover, also she may get the leading part in National Velvet, even if you are not a movie fan see the Lassie picture it is in colour and is beautiful’. Miss Taylor inherited this collection of works from her father, and they remained in her homes throughout her life. We are grateful to Rebecca John for her assistance in preparing the catalogue entries for these works.

Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney starred in “National Velvet” in 1944.
An 18-year-old Gene Tierney, who was then appearing on Broadway, was offered the role of Velvet Brown in 1939. Production was delayed, however, so Tierney returned to Broadway.[5] Much of the film was shot in Pebble Beach, California, with the most-scenic views on the Pebble Beach Golf Links[6] (with golf holes visible in the background).
Philip Boileau & Magazine Beauties
Posted on August 20, 2013 by Royal Rosamond Press
“Christine worked almost exclusively from photographs and
figures she cut from magazines like Vanity Fair and Vogue and
Glamour,” Garth recalls. “That’s why the women in her middle period
were so exquisite – the inspiration for them came from elegant
magazines that set the standard.”
Rena Easton looked for her sister to be on the cover of a famous magazine in July of 1970. Rena has a lot to do with the marriage of my late sister into the Benton family. American magazines held beauty contests for seventy years. Jessie Benton came close to being the Queen of America.
Rena and I were meant to get married. I should have put Robert and James in the back seat, like tramps, and kept them there. I should have taught Rena how to drive, and if James gave me any lip, I would kick him out of the car like his buddy Brian did to me when he kidnapped Rena.
Rena would have been kin to real artists and writers. She should have been the Muse of Muses, painted by many famous artists. Fate had much in store for this beautiful woman.
The artist, Philip Boileau, was the son Susan Taylor Virginia McDowell Benton, the sister of Jessie Benton, the daughter of Thomas Hart Benton, whose grandson was the famous artist of the same name, who was the cousin of Garth Benton, who married Christine Rosamond Presco, who is kin to Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, according to Jimmy Rosamond, the Rosamond Family genealogists.
Elizabeth Taylor appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine, and was on the cover of numerous magazines, as were the beautiful women painted by Boileau, that resemble Rosamond Women. No one, but I, knew of these relations after the death of the world famous artist ‘Rosamond’.
Recently two paintings by Andy Warhol of Liz Taylor sold for a hundred million dollars. ‘The Men In Her Life’ sold for $60,000,000 million dollars. Eddie Fisher is in this Warhol work, he the father of the actress , Carrie Fischer, who wrote a screenplay about my later sister, who is the mother of the artists, Drew Benton.
Christine and Drew are kin to John Fremont who was a co-founder of Republican Party, and its firs Presidential Candidate. Three years ago I registered as a Republican in order to stand in the way of the take over my kindred’s party by the Evangelical Cult.

Victim of Modern Day Witch-hunt
Posted on August 16, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press
“The Cogswells were also involved in an attempt to prevent the execution of Goodwife Proctor in the Salem witch trials.”
I will make the case in one of my books, that I am the victim of two witch-hunts, one by the Alley Gang Wiccans, and the Hefty Haffner Evangelical Haters. These two conflicting religious groups formed a bond in order to drive me out of my home, and Springfield.
When Alley Valkyrie sent me her threats, I responded to this one, saying Belle Burch had never told me to not contact her, or write about her. Five minutes later, Ms. Burch called me and asked me not to publish anything about her in my newspaper, Royal Rosamond Press. But, her compatriot had already launched an attack on me on her Facebook, which goes against their policy. Their attorney, Mary Broadhurst, objects, but she does not tell Alley to resort to legal action if she believes I am abusive. Almost everyone who read this HUNT knew Valkyrie wanted to USE HER DARK POWERS – have sport with me! She was looking foreward to doing a Victory Dance, when I slunk away – like the others! Alley and Belle had invaded the City Managers office when he practiced his right – not to meet with A WALK-IN MOB! Belle calls Riuz a “coward”. We are seeing a Wiccan Police Force that Kim Hafner applauds – with glee – after she gathered a Christine Posse to harass me and the cats that visited me.
There are authors and groups that are very keen on Witch-hunts. Descendants of the Cogswell family founded Eugene Oregon’s major newspapers, and are kin to George and Joaquin Miller – as well as Jack London. Two of the men were journalists, like myself. I am the alleged kin of John Wilson who I have shown descends the Schwarzenberg family, and may be the reasons he was born at Windsor Castle. I got a very Gothic book that I will lay on the steps of Eugene’s government. Inside I will ask why the Mayor and City Council did not back me up like John Cogswell and his family backed Goodwife Proctor.
Watch this video of a real live witch-hunt that will resemble the news we are going to see for many years to come as the Taliban raid homes and drag out people they believe are not going along with their religious program – and thus are a threat! If only I had obeyed Alley Valkyrie ad removed all mention of Belle Burch – who wanted to alter the course of our City Government through CIVIL DISOBEDIANCE, and thus…..she is newsworthy!
I have proven – beyond a shadow of a doubt – that Alley Valkyrie has no extra-special powers in regards to spell-casting, and, in regards to living in a Democracy!
ADMM: I stopped in Safeway this morning and a woman clerk who knew my homeless friend, recognized me, and said hello! If Hollis Williams were alive, her would be livid at the way the Alley Gang treated me. I showed pics of Hollis at our two hour meeting – and pics of myself t a OCCUPY meeting dressed as Santa. Belle Burch did not identify herself as a advocate for the homeless – and a member of OCCUPY – at that meeting! Only when I I.D.ed her hands, and being a member of the group she got attested with, did SHE CONFESS!
There was much controversy about the lack of leadership with OCCUPY. And then there is the group Anonymous. Alternative Eugene Lifestyle, already had recognizable leaders, some who joined OCCUPY. THEY recognized each other and formed Whoville and Themville. Owning stealth, they began to own power. No add Wiccan Power. I began to RECOGNIZE what, and who, is invisible. I suspected Belle might run for office to get Kitty out of there, because she let John Riuz close down Whoville. Belle went to – THE ENFORCER – Alley Valkyrie. Both women had attorneys available. They could have sued me, do what normal people do. These are no normal people. These are very SPECIAL PEOPLE like QAnon. They get to overthrow -all governments that don’t do their will. Mary Broadhurst – will be my star witness, because she calls THE WITCH-HUNT that is being conducted in front of homeless friends of Alley.
The Cogswell family, have risen from their graves, and have come to my defense. They were at the trial of Elizabeth Proctor. They took a great risk by doing the right thing. Did they worry – they were next – after Elizabeth was murdered? This morning the Cogsworth family, came down on the RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. There is panic at the Afghanistan airport as thousand try to flee the coming Witch-hunt. Will there be trials before the executions?
I am on the right side of history! As I was being attacked, an article appeared in the Register Guard about a anonymous donor wanting to give a large sum to a homeless group. This would be motive for getting me to remove all negative reports from my newspaper. Who ended up with the $400,000

Anonymous Donor Gives $400,000 for Homeless Camp in Eugene
By RACHAEL MCDONALD• APR 17, 2014
An anonymous donor from Eugene has stepped forward with $400,000 to purchase property for a homeless camp in the city.
The $400,000 will be used to buy a piece of private property to create a place for homeless people to sleep. The donor has also asked that a health clinic be on site for residents and others in need.
Attorney Mary Broadhurst is a homeless advocate who’s worked with SLEEPS and residents of the recently shuttered illegal Whoville camp. She says she’s grateful.

“Though Howard may have chosen a life out of the spotlight, he still had his sister’s flair for the dramatic. When he heard that police had rounded up 13 vagrants who recently moved to the island from Berkeley, California, he decided to bail out the lot and allow them to live on his land rent free.
‘It’s your land and they’re now your hippies,’ Taylor reportedly told officials, when they complained about the new inhabitants on Ke’e Beach.”

After the Bond movie ‘To Die And Live Again’ was a huge box office hit, a prominent member of the Royal Family made a very snide remark. Clint hired an attorney at the suggestion of his real-estate broker, Chaz Chazen, to seek an attorney. He recommended Ace Buckster, who owned a small airport in Carmel. This lawsuit got in the news and the attention of, Ian Saint James, a local mystic who did a genealogy of the Eastwood family.
“Wow! Clint is bullet proof. He’s American – and Hollywood Royalty! The Windsors have bitten off more than they can chew. They put a harpoon in – Moby Dick!”
Eastwood “American Royalty”
Posted on June 5, 2012 by Royal Rosamond Press
When I read that Clint Eastwood’s ancestors served on my great grandfather’s ship, the USS Constitution, I had forgiveness for my daughter who thinks life is a big popularity contest. She is not alone, so do the Royal Windsors who no longer have any real power. It’s all -show!
“To add to that, he also has maternal ancestors (James Morgan and Margery Hill) with a likely royal descent, linked to the late Princess of Wales, and Prince William and Prince Harry, the probable next King of England.”
Some sites on the web say the Eastwoods served on the sister ship, the USS Constellation. McGilligan says it was the USS Constitution. Both ships went to Tripoli to protect American shipping from a Islamic leader and fanatic who was holding Americans for ransom.
The USS Constitution is the oldest commisioned Navy vesel. Our President could have sent Old Irondsides to get Bin Laden, given him a broadside – just for show, like that actor and Texas braggart, George Bush, who dressed in costume and stood on the deck of a Navy vessel with a banner over his head that read;
“Mission Accomplished”
“Cut! that’s a wrap! You can go back to your ranch, ‘Smoke-em Out’ George, and play cowboy!”
President Obama sent the Navy Seals to an Islamic nation to dispatch the world’s No.1 terrorist! I, and Eastwood’s ancestors – are as proud as can be of this American Citizen. Right – Clint? Perhaps our President was born in Oakland, too, and is ashamed to admit it?
Clint’s billionaire golf buddies are trying to buy our democratic process, hide behind their money and mommy, verses fighting out in the open. Greedy Cowards – and Cheats! Clint is a fake blue collar kind of guy.
Clint’s cousin claims the Eastwoods are “America Royalty” after he proudly declares his kindred served in Tripoli where my kindred, Captain Issac Hull, commanded the USS Enterprise. Did the Eastwood’s hear my great grandfather’s voice, giving them orders as We the United and Free went after our real enemies?
It’s time for my family to be united – and all American families!
Are Amerians jealous of all that pomp and ceremony they beheld on the Queen’s Daimond Jubilee? My bad-ass kindred kicked Limy butt – and whooped the Islamic pirates, just like our President did. Behold – Americans at sea!

Hollywood Royalty
Posted on June 6, 2012 by Royal Rosamond Press
Clint Eastwood, and Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, are Hollywood Royalty. One could say they are the Emperor and Empress, and should be paired for life in the land of make believe. What is real, Clint and I share the same Oakland roots, and, Liz is in the Rosamond family tree.
Lindsay Lohan is going to play LIz in a movie. It will be a comeback for a woman who struggles with alcoholism, a theme promoted in the biography of Christine Rosamond Benton, who Liz and Christine’s kindred, Carrie Fisher, wrote a screenplay about. Richard Burton was a alcoholic, a bad boy in real life. Could Hollywood have created a Dirty Harry character for Richard? How about ‘Dirty Burty’ a bad-ass Brit with a big mouth and a blunderbuss.
“With any luck, she’ll also stay sober throughout!”
Who’s afraid of Lindsay Wolfe? How about a detective movie based upon Liz and Burt’s roles in ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? A married detective team wreck havoc in the underworld as they barhop across America and Europe taking on one tough guy after another – and destroying him! This good cop, bad cop couple, fight fire with fire – on the enemies turf, and on their terms! All the guest stars on the show will be escapees from rehab, or, on their way to rehab. We already got the show’s theme song!
Mr. and Mrs. Wolf. When this couple walks in a bar, the tough guys creep out the back, they on their way to rehab. They’ve had enough. Case closed.

A bungalow belonging to my kindred, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, is being rented out.
A portrait by Warhol – Liz’s dead friend – adds to the bragging rights the guests may enjoy without being called “insane”. Money talks – even after death! Can you talk to her ghost?
Christine Rosamond’s beautiful women were hung by a Realtor as staging when her home in Pebble Beach was put on the market – after she was dead! Here is High Class Fashion Moda. If the Warhol is real, then it was auctioned off with Liz’s fashionable dresses. To hang the original artwork of the diseased artist, is to create a museum, that is not open to the public, and is there for the sole reason of making money. To decorate a room around the painting of a famous movie star – painted by an artist who made movies – is to create a Vain Stage where narcissists may roam in their need to be the center of attention.
Christine posed for her image ‘Cleo’. Here is the Phantom of the Opera creating a new stage for his star. I wonder if I can cash in? Perhaps I can conduct a tour? I could be on call to come give an art lesson to the guests. I could wear a tux and drink non-alcoholic wine. Would they save the glass I drank from?

President Eisenhower – Artist
Posted on July 11, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
At 7:33 on July 11, 2020, I sent the following e-mail to the President of the United States.
“Dear Mr. President: May I suggest a statue of President Eisenhower be included in your proposed garden. Ike was an artist who rendered a hundred or more paintings while living in your home. He helped defeat the Nazis. He bid the Monument Men to return stolen art to rightful owners. He was a good friend of art dealer, Howard Young, who is the uncle of my kin, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor.”
For two days I have had enlightened conversations with my friends, Keith, Ray, and Merna, who live in Springfield. We talked about how polarized our Nation has become. We have always sought the middle ground and looked for what we have in common. Yesterday we talked about Howard Young’s friendship with Ike. They hunted, fished, and swam together. They also played poker with rich and powerful men. Three hours later I discover President Eisenhower was a prolific artist who may have seen my kin Liz Taylor on several occasions. They could have fished together. My years of research have struck the motherload in regards of establishing the Artistic Dynasty that is made up of family members – the rival biographers did not find!
I believe Eisenhower is above the fray that has toppled monuments and works of art, because he destroyed the Master Race the destroyers of Caucasian culture and many minorities that were seen as inferior.
After the war President Eisenhower sought the company of men who come from humble roots. How much of an influence Howard had on Ike’s art is to be discovered. I have been puzzled as to why Michael Jackson did a drawing of George Washington and the front door to the White House. Liz encouraged Michael to take up art. Did she tell him about her connection to President Eisenhower – the artist?
Liz’s son married Aileen Getty whose family has amassed one of the largest collections of art in the world. I am going write the Getty Art Museum and suggest they have a show of Ike’s work. My late brother-in-law did the mural at the Getty Villa. My late sister, Christine Rosamond Benton was a famous artist. I was her teacher.

The only true response to art is to look with an eye like that of a child: unprejudiced, unbiased, clear, and uncommitted. When it is the art of a celebrity, this ideal, always almost unobtainable, becomes progressively difficult. Can we see the work in the dazzle of the artist’s aura? When the paintings of Noel Coward come to auction, they do well enough, but are the buyers interested in Coward himself rather than in his work, bright, confident, and attractive though it is? When Prince Charles, who is a seriously good painter, sends his work to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, where it shows to great effect, he sends it under a nom-de-plume, precisely so as to allow the selectors to choose or reject only on artistic merit. The prime example is Winston Churchill, a man whom history has already anointed as great. Is it really possible to make an objective judgment of his pictures?
Churchill the painter, of course, is the closest equivalent we have of Dwight D. Eisenhower as painter. It may well have been seeing his friend at work, lost in the joy of his pigments, that first turned Eisenhower’s mind to the possibility of painting himself. His immediate spur, we know, was observing the artist Thomas E. Stephens painting a portrait of Mamie Eisenhower during their all too brief stay at Columbia University. The future president, at the time only president of the university, was intrigued, and his mind, ever restless and emulative, became fascinated by the challenge of himself “copying” what was before him. One of the little-realized facts about Eisenhower was the intensity of his need to excel. Ike looked laid-back and affable, and indeed he was, a delightful man. But at heart he was determined always to be in command, never to be bested. This ambition showed with painful rawness in his boyhood, challenging his elder brothers. He learned to hide it under his easy smile and genuine charm, but one can quite imagine him studying Mamie’s portrait and feeling determined to see if he could find within himself skills to match the artist’s.
Before Stephens made his visit to the Eisenhowers, the president seems to have had no encounter with art except as the hobby of Winston Churchill. Since golf was Eisenhower’s hobby, and always would be, his interest in Churchillian landscapes was benignly detached. After the war though, with time on his hands, this strange activity entered significantly into his own space, as it were. While Mamie and Stephens toured the house to find the best place to hang her portrait, Eisenhower got his aide, John Moaney, to help him stretch a white dust cloth for a canvas to the bottom of a box. Then—one can imagine his puzzled but dogged expression—he tried to copy the picture. He showed the group what he had done, he says, describing his efforts as “weird and wonderful to behold,” adding that “we all laughed heartily.”1
Stephens asked for this attempt as a keepsake, and was given it without hesitation. Eisenhower, for all his pride, had no false pride.
Painting was not something Eisenhower wanted to be good at or, perhaps, thought he could be good at. Stephens sent him a complete painting kit, which Ike appreciated but thought a “sheer waste of money,” something the boy from a poor home could never accept comfortably. Maybe it was this innate frugality—the desire not to waste a gift—that spurred him to practice. Eisenhower was convinced that to become a painter, he lacked the one thing necessary, “ability.”2
But he was interested: he enjoyed experimenting. He would not dream of painting, of course, if there were a chance for golf or, for that matter, if he could find bridge partners or set up a poker game. (His legendary skill at poker, said to have added appreciably to his military earnings throughout his career, meant there were few partners to hand.) But at 58, the age in which painting became a part, however tenuous, of his life, the physical demands of golf and his weakening heart made his idle hours more frequent. The Kennedy successors said that Eisenhower had never read a book, which annoyed Mamie, who knew how assiduously he had pored over military history. But that was reading with a purpose: information a soldier needed. Those days were over, and as president, he read little more than Westerns. Painting, with its inbuilt challenge, its very status of being something he was not naturally good at, was a far more attractive option.
Writing to Churchill in 1950, Eisenhower said, “I have a lot of fun since I took it up, in my somewhat miserable way, your hobby of painting. I have had no instruction, have no talent, and certainly no justification for covering nice, white canvas with the kind of daubs that seem constantly to spring from my brushes. Nevertheless, I like it tremendously, and in fact, have produced two or three things that 1 like enough to keep.”3
This is language rather different from Churchill’s own, which speaks about art in exalted terms: “Soul,” “Contemplation of harmonies,” “Joy and glory.” 4
But for Churchill, painting genuinely mattered. He had an outdoor hobby, bricklaying, but that satisfied him far less than the aesthetic stimulus he derived from gazing at something beautiful and trying to make visible his personal reaction to it. For Eisenhower, the excitement was in the manual skill in producing a copy, usually of a photograph or a magazine reproduction. (If the weather was fine enough to sit and paint, it was fine enough for golf: no contest!) It was simply the intellectual puzzle of it, how to make on his own canvas what another artist or photographer had captured. His favorite subject was his daughter-in-law with his two grandchildren, but he branched out freely into depictions of landscape, however secondhand, and buildings, with the occasional portrait (remember, copied). He described his portrait paintings as “magnificent audacity,” and burned most of them.5
Churchill valued what he had created. Eisenhower did not. It was the making that Eisenhower enjoyed, rather akin to achieving a birdie at golf, and what was made was a means, not an end.
Eisenhower was reticent about his deep emotions. (Of the supreme sorrow of his life, the death in babyhood of his son Icky, he never spoke.) We catch a rare glimpse of his inner nature when we read, in a letter of late adolescence, how he felt about the loss, through injury, of the football career that had been his driving passion. “Life seemed to have little meaning. A need to excel was gone.”6
http://www.dameelizabethtaylor.com/animals.html
The “need to excel” grew back again, now not rooted in football or boxing—another skill— but in the army and, eventually, in politics. I think it was this same need that drove him in his painting. He would have scorned any thought of objective excellence. He called his works “daubs”: was he right? Or was he overly modest? The dictionary defines a “daub” as a painting that is clumsy or crude, with implications of carelessness. This is not true in Eisenhower’s case. He took infinite care, sometimes, he confessed, spending two hours in getting a color “right.”7
Nor was he so unskilled. His first encounter with a professional artist, at Columbia, led to his being given the tools for serious work in this field. Obviously, though he may have laughed with Ike, Stephens was impressed.
What Eisenhower was to produce in the last short third of his life is work that still gives the impartial onlooker pleasure. A daub irritates; these paintings, simple and earnest, rather cause us to wonder at the hidden depths of this reticent president. Notice the scenes to which he was drawn: they are all of the peaceful countryside, a symbol of the unspoiled America in which he had grown to manhood. Naturally, experienced traveler that he was, there are foreign scenes, too: Ann Hathaway’s Cottage in England, a French garden, or an Alpine scene. But he concentrates on views like Rolling Wooded Hills, painted in Denver in 1955. He had a special affection for hills, and here they gently rise and fall. He had an affection, too, for tall trees, often the subject of presidential doodling in the Oval Office. In this work we see two, green and gold, and surging toward them a bright pool of bluebonnets, dazzling in the sunshine. He admitted to a great love of color, and it is delightfully apparent in all his best pictures. I have a fondness for the Mountain Fall Scene, where it is not hills but mountains that seize his attention, splendid peaks, rising in icy splendor, blue and shadowed, while the foreground is alive with the brightness of an American fall. Two small trees are a gleaming yellow, while behind them another two, equally spindly, are deep pink, tipped with crimson. If we really look at this mountain path framed with evergreens, we begin to notice, as the artist did, many stray touches of color, yellows and pinks, that tie the whole picture together tonally. Who but the artist himself would dare call this a “daub”? Not great art. needless to say, but pleasing art, art that has a lyrical sweetness to it, however unassumingly expressed.
Eisenhower was interested in undamaged nature — perhaps the effect of years as a soldier? — and in people. To me, the nature studies are more effective, but sometimes he gets a face exactly right. One of Mamie’s favorite pictures was Mexican, which Ike painted in 1953 from an advertisement. He has caught the man’s vigor, the masculine radiance of his smile, the swagger of his sombrero, the dazzling flash of his teeth against the sunburn of his face. He is interesting, too, on Abraham Lincoln, not so much in the traditional bearded Lincoln, well depicted though it is. He gave this image to the White House staff as their 1953 Christmas card, and I imagine it is still cherished. But there is a more imaginative projection in Melancholy Lincoln, taken from a photograph of the young lawyer, clean shaven and yet inexplicably sad. Eisenhower did not paint to “express” his inner self; he curbed his imagination and resolutely imitated the reproduction before him. Yet there seems to me a personal note in this work, as if he were subliminally seeing in Lincoln’s melancholy a distant awareness of the burden of the presidency.
Because we are so conditioned to overreact to celebrity, most of us will have come to Eisenhower’s paintings with a readiness to scoff. But try to be impartial, and you will be very pleasantly surprised. One final irony. President Eisenhower was a conservative, in art as in many other areas, and he had no time at all for the avant-garde. He felt modem art was morally wrong. Speaking on May Day, 1962, he grieved that “our very art forms [are] so changed that we seem to have forgotten the works of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci” and went on to excoriate, with unusual eloquence, works like “a piece of canvas that looks like a broken-down Tin Lizzie, loaded with paint, has been driven over it.” “What has happened to our concept of beauty and decency and morality? ”8
Here comes the irony. Take up any magazine of contemporary art, or look through a Christie’s or Sotheby’s catalog of such a sale. You will find that, for some of the best-selling contemporary artists, their aim seems to be to create what looks like a “daub.”
The effect of clumsiness that Eisenhower so fought against, untrained and inexperienced as he was, is now sought after by men and women, highly trained and deeply experienced. Their works adorn the walls of galleries that would laugh at the very thought of hanging an Eisenhower. Yet who is the truer artist, these mischievous painters who play with their skill, or Eisenhower, thrilled by color, eager to understand how to create, humble but persevering?
“Young had one and he was immediately off to Oklahoma. While there he played poker with Harry Sinclair, Frank Phillips and Bill Skelly, and a new chapter in his career opened–investments. It opened with investments in oil.”

I am looking for descendants of Philip Rosemond and Moses Morton Rosemond who lived in Guernsey County, OH in the mid-1800s. This family descended from a James Rosemond who lived in County Leitrim, Ireland in the early 1700s.
Other members of this same family settled in Lanark, Ontario, Canada.
The southern Rosamond family is also said to be descended from this same
family, as are the Rosamond families in Australia and New Zealand. I am
trying to tie all the branches of the family together. The information on
the family in Guernsey County, OH is shown below. I’d appreciate hearing
from anyone who has any information regarding this family.
The reference for the earlier generations of this family is the booklet “The
History of the Rosemond Family” by Leland Eugene Rosemond, 1939.

When I read the following this morning, the book, and movie ‘Gone With The Wind’ came to mind.
“The couple had nine children; eight girls and but one son — Martin — who served with Lucas County boys in Company C of the 13th Iowa Infantry and died in service in 1862. When James Roseman died in 1887, there was nobody by the name of Roseman left in the county.”

“Howard Young was as wise in his art dealings as he was investing. His greatest achievement was his discovery of the “Lost El Greco”–“Christ Healing The Blind.” This painting now hangs in the Metropolitan Art Museum.”
Howard Young and Mabel Rosemond had no children. Therefore, I splice and attache all the creative history to this Rose Line. Howard promoted the artist Augustus John, and was the best friend of Victor Cazalet, who also had no children. He was Liz’s godfather. I delare myself the Caretaker of their artistic history – and then some. Because Bryan Mclean had no children, I consider myself the caretaker of his family history. George Mclean was the godfather of Liz’s son.
“Young’s good friend was President Dwight D. Eisenhower and he, too, spent time in the area. “There are several pictures, him and Howard Young would fish here and also President Eisenhower’s brothers would come up here,” said Solberg.”
President Bush, Obama, and others are confronting President Trump about his embracing Neo-Nazis, and Neo-Confederate Christian Co-Terrorists, that President Eisenhower warned about.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mary Taylor’s sister (Mabel Rosemond) had married Howard Young, a famous artist who had galleries in St. Louis, then New York, and London.
Talitha Pol married John Paul Getty, Her father was Willem Jilts Pol, a painter who subsequently married Poppet John daughter of the painter. Tlaitha is related to Peter and Ian Fleming, and my kin, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, who descends from the Dutch families of Rover and Rosemondt. We are looking at a modern-day Dutch Bohemian Renaissance!
Ian Fleming’s novels generated more money from his books made into movies than Dan Brown, and was a real spy working with real codes.

| A | Howard Young Northwoods BenefactorIt wasn’t until the will of S. Howard Young was made public on Aug. 15, 1972, that residents of the Lakeland area began to understand how deeply this unusual man loved the Northwoods of Wisconsin and the people who reside within it’s boundaries.On this day in 1972 they learned that Howard Young had bequeathed approximately $20 million for a health center so that the area would have the finest facilities and continue to attract outstanding doctors of the caliber that had joined the staff of the first hospital–Lakeland Memorial Hospital.The will further stated that the “net income is to be paid in perpetuity to the hospital to be used by it for it own general purposes and that $7 million be used only for the purpose of constructing, equipping, furnishing and opening a new main hospital.”Indeed, Howard Young had a love affair with the Lakeland area that spanned some 65 years, and the impact of the love was reaffirmed on Saturday, June 18, 1977, with the dedication of the Howard Young Medical Center. It will continue to be reaffirmed, ad infinitum, through its operation.Stephen Howard Young was born in Belle Center, Ohio, on May 22, 1878, the eldest of five children who would eventually comprise the family of Philip and Mary Funk Young. His father was a highway construction supervisor.It seemed as if Howard Young was born with great ambition. His mother soon realized that his ambitions far surpassed anything that Belle Center had to offer, and so it was with her blessing that he left his home at age 10 to make his way in the world.His business career began simply, delivering for both a laundry and a paper route. When he was 15 years of age he turned to chromolithography (the process of lithographing in colors), a relatively new innovation in 1893. His first operation was in Anderson, Ind., and as his business flourished he opened offices in Cincinnati and Lima, Ohio, plus Peoria, Ill.By 1896, at the age of 18, Howard Young had amassed a fortune of $400,000. This was also the year of the panic and he lost it all.He began again…By now he had decided his future lay in oil paintings. He contracted for the services of several prominent portrait artists in the area. Then, following an obituary notice, he would contact the family and sell them oil paintings from the snapshots they provided of the deceased. They sold at $2,000 each.One of his clients then asked him to select and buy paintings for her home, paying a commission of $300 for each one. This moved Howard Young into a career as an art dealer.In 1900, Young married Mabel Rosemund of Springfield, Ill., and moved to St. Louis where he established his headquarters. His wife preceded him in death in 1955. There were no children of the marriage.His business continued to flourish. Then one day he learned of a man in Bartlesville, Okla., who was looking for a Remington to purchase. Young had one and he was immediately off to Oklahoma. while there he played poker with Harry Sinclair, Frank Phillips and Bill Skelly, and a new chapter in his career opened–investments. It opened with investments in oil.In St. Louis, Young became friendly with the Busch and Lambert families. He bought shares of Anheuser-Busch stock that he never sold. He was a wise investor and unloaded a great deal of stock just before the crash in 1929. His one regret was that he sold his IBM stock too soon, for although he made a fine profit it was nothing compared to what it would have been if he had held it.He was as wise in his art dealings as he was investing. His greatest achievement was his discovery of the “Lost El Greco”–“Christ Healing The Blind.” This painting now hangs in the Metropolitan Art Museum.In his art dealings, Young had one regret also. He bought a Van Gogh for $5,000, sold it for $10,000, and shortly before his death it sold for $850,000.In 1907, Howard Young developed a nervous ailment. His doctors recommended a summer vacation in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, and thus began his love affair with Lakeland area.Howard Young was an art dealer for 75 years. His only partner was his nephew, Francis Taylor–Elizabeth Taylor’s father, who died in 1968.He did have a multitude of friends and he considered Dwight D. Eisenhower one of his closest. He played an instrumental part in Eisenhower’s entering the 1952 presidential race. He arranged a reception for Eisenhowers with Scripps Howard newspaper executives and it was at this reception that Ike obtained their support. Without this he probably never would have entered politics.Howard Young revealed a little of his true feelings for the Lakeland area when, on election night, after learning of his victory, Eisenhower turned to him and asked him where he would like to be ambassador. Young’s reply–“in Minocqua, Woodruff and Boulder Junction.”In later years, after Eisenhower had suffered his heart attack. Young built a special track down the hill from his home to the lake. It car carried Eisenhower for his daily swims that he loved so well. Without it, Ike could not have negotiated the steep hill.During their years of friendship, Eisenhower presented Howard Young with three of his signed paintings. These, along with their correspondence, were donated to the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene, Kansas.Young was an avid sportsman. He loved golf and founded the Minocqua country Club, and he was an excellent skeet shooter; but hunting and fishing were probably his favorite spots. He kept homes in Florida and Connecticut, but Minocqua was his favorite retreat, for here he could indulge in all his favorite sports.Howard Young died at the age of 94 on June 23, 1972. He died among his favorite art treasures in his galleries in the Hotel Pierre in New York City. His remains lie in Detroit…but his heart and memories are alive in the Lakeland area. |

“We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America,” Mr. Bush said. “We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade, forgetting that conflict, instability and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism. We’ve seen the return of isolationist sentiments, forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places.”
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
“Don’t join the book burners. Don’t think you’re going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don’t be afraid to go in your library and read every book…”
“Should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group of course that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few other Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower
Godfather to Elizabeth Taylor[edit]
Cazalet, who had a passion for fine art, became a close friend of American art gallery owners Francis Taylor and his wife Sara, parents of Elizabeth, after they had moved from the U.S. to London in 1936.[1] Cazalet let the Taylor family, who were also Christian Scientists, spend their weekends in a separate 16th century cottage on his estate in Kent.[1] He wanted them to think of England as their new home.[22]:13
He gave 4-year-old Elizabeth a horse named Betty as a gift, which she would ride bareback throughout the property.[1] The Taylors asked him to be her godfather, after which he became an important influence during her early life.[1] At one time while Elizabeth suffered the first of many near-fatal illnesses, Elizabeth begged her mother to “please call Victor and ask him to come and sit with me.” Cazalet then drove ninety miles through thick fog to be at her side.[24] When he arrived, recalled her mother, “Victor sat on the bed and held Elizabeth in his arms and talked to her about God,” and soon after the fever had broken.[22]:14
At a lunch with Churchill in April 1939, Cazalet learned that a war was coming, and was permitted by Churchill to inform others.[22]:24 Cazalet, concerned for the Taylor family’s safety, urged Francis to close his art gallery as soon as possible and return with his family to America. Because of the time needed to vacate the gallery, he suggested that Sara and his children should be sent back alone where Francis could later join them. They took his advice and eventually ended up in Los Angeles where he established a new gallery.[1]
As Cazalet was an acquaintance of screen actor DeWolf Hopper and his former wife, Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper, he sent a letter of introduction on behalf of Elizabeth to Ms. Hopper, to help 7-year-old Elizabeth become involved in acting.[1][24] Hopper met with Elizabeth and Sara and offered to help. Months later, Cazalet wrote in his diary for 16 April 1941, “Imagine excitement of Taylors. Elizabeth has a contract for seven years with a big cinema group.”[22]:33

S. Howard Young, one of the world’s wealthiest art dealers, died yesterday in his galleries in the Pierre Hotel after a brief illness. He was 94 years old on May 22.
Mr. Young was a close friend of the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower and was a great uncle of the actress Elizabeth Taylor. Her father, Francis Taylor, had been Mr. Young’s only partner in a 75‐year career. Mr. Taylor, who died in 1968, was Mr. Young’s nephew.
The art dealer was a resident of Miami Beach and had sum mer homes in Ridgefield, Conn., and Minocqua, Wis.
It was during a weekend visit with Mr. Young at Ridgefield in 1952 that General Eisenhower, then president of Columbia University, decided to enter the Presidential race. Also present were Bob Considine and Frank Farrell, the newspaper colum nists.

Mr. Considine advised the General that the Hearst news papers would support the Re publican nomination of Gen. Douglas MacArthur against Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio. Mr. Farrell told the general that he thought the Scripps Howard newspapers’ editors might be willing to support him.
