“Last night I called the old Will Roger’s Hotel in downtown Oakland where I stayed in 1969. A room there will cost me a hundred bucks. From here I will launch my campaign as Democratic President of the United States of America!”
The Santa Anna Winds are going to be blowing – TO THURSDAY! The confabulation will be encircling the Getty Center, and one of the largest collections of Art – in the world! Will this Art be evacuated? Is there a pscychic, prphet, or seer that can be conlulted – like a was in the Oakland Fire? How about Christian Leaders that are lurking behind Trump as he lashes out at Governor Newson, and afixes blame to any Democrats that moves.How about forming a Presidentia Prayer Team? How would Isreal handle this Firegrinder?
Real History, and real Biblical narrative includes the destruction of great City Centers. Art has been at the center of many famous cities that archeologists are still unearthing – and studying. They should be at the Will Roger’s Center – right now! What are we losing? We need a team of History Professors from UCLA – out in the field. We need a think tank. I suggested to the Matt at Pacific Source to contact the Mayor of LA and establish a HOTLINE that helps evacuees get linked with – HELPERS!
What about hekp for the Little People. Structures are jut being built in Blue River, where Raif grew up. I found out he killed himself – twenty minutes after I found out his kin, Drew Benton took her life. What is the connection? What potence do I fead in these dual tragedy? In 1996 my assistant minister took me to an empty storefront at McKenzie Bridge and asked me if I could start an Art Association. I was, shicked, being I was homeless, living in a loggers campground, and had not showered in ten days. I almost asked if I coould show at his nice home – right on the McKenzie River! He did buy me a cup of coffee, that I drank on a bench in from of Genos store – that burned down! Heres the rub, I claimed I spoke to Jesus in a little trailer down the road apiece! That’s my sixteen year old daughter standing in front of that trailer – and the Log Cabin Inn – that burned down! Heather said nothing about the suicide of her cousins. She was destined to be a huge Country Western Singer.

I lived several places near the Log Cabin Inn. My younger sister, Vicki Presco, married Jim Dundon and they built a geodesic dome on John’s property. Michael Dundon, built a small cabin there as well. He and his wife cooked and bartended at the Inn in the mid-seventies. I lived at the Hub Trailer park across the street. My daughter, Heather Hanson took this pic of me, and I took the pic of her at the Youth Camp the Dundons caretook.
I had a studio in a small cabin at the Hub. I did a painting I sent to Marilyn Reed, who showed it to Ira Cohen, who discovered Christine Rosamond.

Thousands of residents remain under evacuation orders and warnings as the Palisades Fire continues its destructive path and blaze intensifies
Tens of thousands of residents remain under evacuation orders or warnings as the Palisades Fire continues to burn actively across exposed ridgetops and drainages. The mandatory evacuation zone was expanded Friday night to include the Getty Center, as the fire moved northeast toward the San Fernando Valley, threatening Mandeville Canyon, Bel Air, Encino, and Tarzana.
A new mandatory evacuation order was issued Friday night from Sunset Boulevard North to the Encino Reservoir, extending from the 405 Freeway West to Mandeville Canyon, including The Getty Center. By 7:30 p.m., the evacuation warning zone was extended to encompass Ventura Boulevard, the 405 Freeway, and Mulholland Drive.
With the expanded evacuation orders, new evacuation centers have been set up at the Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Recreation Center at 14201 Huston St. in Sherman Oaks and the Lanark Recreation Center at 21816 Lanark St. in Canoga Park.
Fire activity intensified Friday under sunny skies, with weak northerly winds and low humidity expected tonight. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH is set to begin Saturday at 6 PM, with critical fire weather conditions anticipated.
The Los Angeles County and CAL FIRE Damage Assessment Teams estimate over 5,000 structures have been destroyed. Residents are advised to avoid nonessential travel to provide room for firefighting efforts. The Los Angeles Unified School District has canceled all classes for Friday.

(RNS) — I write these words primarily for my many friends and colleagues in Los Angeles, who are now living through a disaster movie beyond their wildest imaginations.
We see the visual images of the flames that are engulfing so many areas. We see the pictures of people who have lost everything — including some who have lost their lives — images of the injured, of those who had been secure now transformed into refugees, of some of the most expensive and opulent homes in America — some of them the homes of prominent celebrities — burned to the ground, reminding us the forces of nature have no respect for wealth, fame or notoriety. In the face of those forces, we are all vulnerable.
And, of holy places, as well — among them, the Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center, which has served its community for more than a century — reduced to ashes. Their leaders are determined to carry on their sacred work — which is, itself, the best Jewish response — and a time-honored response to the horrific losses of Jewish sacred spaces.
Why the Getty Center Is the “Safest Place” For Its Priceless Collection in the Case of Disaster
As wildfires blaze through Southern California, the Getty’s Ron Hartwig explains how the structure was built with fire in mind

Wildfires tore through Southern California this week, fanned by the worst Santa Ana winds to hit the region in a decade. Thousands have evacuated and hundreds of homes and buildings have already been destroyed. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the latest brush fire broke out in the Sepulveda Pass, north of two of Los Angeles’ major cultural institutions: the Getty Center and the Skirball Cultural Center.
The J. Paul Getty Museum features an art collection that spans the Western canon from the Middle Ages to modern-day; the Skirball Museum is home to one of the world’s largest collections of Judaica and Jewish material culture. Before the fire started around 4:50 in the morning, both museums had already planned to be closed to the public Wednesday due to air conditions caused from the ongoing fires in the region.
Am I Biggest Loser In America?
Posted on November 24, 2024 by Royal Rosamond Press
Gavin Newsom sold his pre-governorship mansion outside San Francisco for $5.895 million in May.AP
My original headline was going to read..
I’M THE BIGGEST LOSER IN AMERICA!
Then I saved – my life – with the help of my cat and a crow! Then I reasoned Gavin Newson is the biggest loser – because he failed to get elected President. At least I was a write-in candidate. Then, I blogged on him and found this..
“Gov. Gavin Newsom just bought a sleek six-bedroom mansion tucked away on a leafy road in a wealthy Marin County town, around 20 miles north of San Francisco. The home, on Woodland Road in Kentfield, sold for $9.1 million last week, records show, and the buyer is a limited liability company formed by Newsom and his family, the San Francisco Chronicle first reported. “
This is the largest desecration of California History and Real Estate that is linked with PlumpJack wineries. Above is Larry Chazen at the re-opening of the Rosamond Gallery in Carmel. Note the black balloons. The year is 2000, six years after Drew Benton was plucked from the ocean her mother downed in. Is Drew present? These balloons are Art Voo-doo, blown-up to attract buyers and investors. Is it any wonder why Drew – experimented with death? I don’t think she knew if death was real. I suspect Chazen was the silent partner of Pierot. Above the Black Balloons of Artificial Art Death, is one of the Getty murals Garth Benton painted in the Getty home. Did the Pelosi Swells make a joke about the monkey being Gavin Newsom – eating out of Gordon’s hand? Chazen and his wife are partners in PlumpJack and was investigated by Andrew Cuomo.
Last night I called the old Will Roger’s Hotel in downtown Oakland where I stayed in 1969. A room there will cost me a hundred bucks. From here I will launch my campaign as Democratic President of the United States of America! I want Trump’s ass on my hog farm, groveling for pertinence. He and Gavin are cut from the same cloth. They are both…..NOBODIES! They are pikers -who don’t have a clue how to be man! They need to stay in the Rogers…”Like a complete unknown!”
I am looking for a billionaire or two to back my campaign. I want to be The Real Citizen Kane. I already got the largest blog in the world. I will drag the whole Getty Gang into the political fight of the century. I will take Manhattan! I have already – taken Berlin! I will register as a Democrat!

When I come on the debate stage with Dump, this song will be playing
When I come on stage – I might be wearing my bathrobe and hat – and doing the Happy Chicken Dance that I did the day I compressed my vertebra. I hate to see athletes do the Trump Old Man Wiggle! In two years they will be dancing to another drummer. The American People – will be bored to death with Trump! Boredom – is the real Savior! Gavin is friggen bore!
Although some critics launched on Newsom’s yearly salary, it is important to note that the governor accumulated a multi-million-dollar fortune early in his career from a variety of businesses and investments.
This included stakes in wineries that raked in at least $1.4 million per year from 2010 to 2016, alongside income from PumpJack partnerships, a wine distiller, that brought in over $6 million in that time, according to the LA Times.
But many felt the luxury mansion purchase was particularly poorly timed, as Epley condemned him in her op-ed this week for leaving Californians with a ‘bad taste in their mouths’ after ‘struggling to put Thanksgiving diner on the table this year.’

Gavin Newsom just bought a fancy new $9.1 million Bay Area home

The Newsoms Will Bury Drew Benton
Posted on August 29, 2024 by Royal Rosamond Press
Here is my message I just sent Governor Gavin Newsom
Dear Governor Newson;
I beseech your help in dealing with the suicide of my niece, Drew Benton. She took her life on July 23rd, and is in cold storage at the Desert Lawn Funeral Home in Mohave Valley, I am on SSI and a not able to pay for cremation. I was sent papers to sign, but am afraid I might be signing full financial responsibility, and, may lose my SSI. This is not a Family Matter. The probate court appointed Sydney Morris of Buck, Rose, Morris and Heisinger, a powerful law firm in Carmel, where Lawrence Chazen practices law. He is a partner in PlumpJack. Morris sold our artistic legacy to an outsider giving her permission to hire a ghost writer to author Drew and her mothers story, that would be made into a movie. There is a script. My brother told me our nieces would not get money from the book and move, only the art.
Chazen tried to become executor, but he was the No.1 creditor. I suspect he was going to realize profits from the book and movie – that were flops. They failed to generate interest in Christine Rosamond’s waning art. My nieces have had very little to live on. Drew was decorating cakes at Walmart. She helped her father refurbish the murals at the Getty Villas and was a accomplished artist. Her mother died when she was eight. These outsiders assumed the role of surrogate mothers. They contributed to the mental illness of Drew and Shannon – who had to guess what reality is! Are you confused?
Ask your wife how the trappings of the Movie Industry is detrimental to adults – and children. Drew is kin to Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, whose son, Christopher wilding, married Aileen Getty, thus Drew and I are kin to all members of the Getty family, who are partners of Larry Chazen. This history is too overawing. The Bentons are a historic family. If no one pays to cremated Drew, the mortuary will do so, and a society will spread her ashes – where they see fit.
Sincerely
John Presco

Gideon Computer Podcast History
Posted on November 20, 2024 by Royal Rosamond Press
The few people I have contact with have proven to be parasites.
I came to Blue River Oregon in order to get sober – so I could live to finish my two novels. One of them is ‘The Gideon Computer’
These parasites come on like the salt of the earth whose family has liv ed in Oregon for five generations, therefor they can take you for all they got! They make me out to be insane – then swoop down like vultures.
“He think’s he’s Jesus. He has no friends – or family. He sticks to himself. We hardly see him. We concur, he’s dangerous and might hurt us! We’ve expressed our fears to management”
Above is a pic of me taken in 1974 in the Blue River home of Michael and Dianne Frye, who got married and born four children. Their daughter, Jennifer, had two sons. In April Rafe killed himself. I found out twenty minutes after I found our that my niece, Drew Benton, allegedly took her life. That’s Rafe in the pic of below, one the right.
I’m going to have my Gideon Comcast emanate from Blue River. I’m seeking funding to rebuild the Blue River Library. The rebuilding of Blue River has been on the news. Maybe I will pen a book of poems.

Two weekends ago the Dundon clan met in the woods of Oregon to have themselves a campout. Michael and I began our journey to Camp Dundon by sharing a Senior Moment together.

Roses of Blue River Library
Posted on September 17, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
Over The Hill And Back
Last night, Don Kahle, who writes for the Register Guard, told me the Free Library was lost in the fire. I swear I smelled burning books. Gone are the smell of roses, gone with a wind that blew a fire through Blue River. What does blood smell like? What is in a name? A child pricks her finger on all that remain, thorns amongst the ashes, and so little human DNA that God sprinkled, there.
“Where art thou?” Was God first recorded question.
Here we are, Lord, in Finn Rock that should have been renamed Rosborough. Here we are amongst the pines and the cedar, the salmon and the trout that run in waters as blue as can be. My grandfather, Royal Rosamond, the son of William Rosamond, and Idia Rose talked about opening a fishing resort on his property in Arkansas. His friend, Otto Rayburn, asked Royal if he knows any poet in the West that would be interested in contribution to his Arcadian Anthology. I will be send the University of Arkansas much history about Rosboro and Blue River.
There is the College of the Ozarks where my kin, Thomas Hart Benton has some of his work. His grandfather was the Senator of the same name who was a good friend of John Astor and family, and was the Proprietor of the Oregon Territory. He son-in-law, John Fremont, blazed the Oregon Trail so many Ulster-Scot could migrate here, and fight off the British. Liz Taylor is my kin, and her uncle used to fish with Eisenhower. I tried to get the City of Eugene and the University of Oregon to preserve Ken Kesey’s cottage in Fairmont where he might have nurtured a idea for his other great novel. ‘Some Times A Great Notion’.
“A private party intends to remove three Doug firs, each at least a hundred feet tall, from in front of the Francis O’Brien Memorial Library,” the group said in a statement. “This removal not only will unnecessarily kill three old-growth trees, but will be dangerous to the surrounding structures. The Blue River Water District board is concerned that falling the trees will ruin the integrity of the water pipes that provides drinking water to the town.”
Dianne Dundon was born in Finn Rock, she the third generation. She and her four children worked everywhere you could along the McKenzie. She never mention the logging mill, Rosboro, that is the biggest employee in Springfield, that some call Springtucky. And now I discover Arkyville?
http://mckenzieriverreflectionsnewspaper.com/News/mayberry-without-barney-andy
In doing research for this post I discovered another work by my grandfather, Royal Rosamond. Over The Hill And Back sounds like a story of J.R. Tolkien. I just founded a facebook group:
The Roses of Blue River Library
I found another Rose Family that is associated with Rosboro a.ka. Arkyville Members of the Rosamond lived and died in Arkansas. They descend from Patriot Captain Samuel Rosamond, who fought alongside The Swamp Fox.
Thomas Whitaker Rosborough came to Springfield Oregon with his lumber outfit that might have included his black loggers whom he may have adored, because, he refused to get rid of them when he moved Rosboro about Arkansas. I will be contacting Eric Richardson about this possibility.
Arizona Governor Headed Woman’s Abuse Center
Posted on September 30, 2024 by Royal Rosamond Press
Dear Governor Dobbs
I wrote you on and asked for your help, Hence I received the autopsy report on and have been in shock. I suffer from PTSD, and barely got through what appears to be a case of TORTURE, that my niece survived, only to die in the hospital of cardiac arrest two hours later. I am not an expert, but it looks like none of her injuries were life threatening. The idea of people dying from sheer terror has been around since the dawn of time. I have sent you the autopsy. No way could these injuries be self-inflected. What does injuries to Drew’s nipples tell you? Did Detective Holstrom question anyone who had a bond with Drew, as is the norm? I don’t know. I requested a Police Report on August 18th. and have not got it. I own a registered newspaper in Lane County Oregon, named after Joseph Lane, who is in the Benton Family Tree. On the phone Holstrom asked me this, after I requested a report;
“What do you want a report for?”
“I’m writing a biography.”
Much of my biography contains the History of John Fremont and Jessie Benton. Holstrom could not find any of Drew’s family, and did not know who mother is the famous artist, Christine Rosamond Benton, and her father is the famous muralist, Garth Benton, whose art graces the Getty Villa. No way would any Benton Artist want to be found dead in their underwear – covered in bruises and blood! If Drew meant to kill herself, she would not have chosen TORTURING HERSELF TO DEATH! Prove me wrong? Put together a panel of experts who have looked at the horrible deaths of hundreds of women. Perhaps you can get a copy of the police report and compare it to Drew’s autopsy?
A friend told me Drew was on leave from her job at Walmart because a man who made a “Kill List” – with Drew’s name at the top – had got out of prison, and was seen at Walmart. Drew was terrified of HER STALKER. Cameron Bosley said she was “hearing voices” and is the reason he wanted Drew to move out of her “dark” studio, and move in with his brother, Damien Bosley., who refused to talk to me on the phone and tell me what happened. It was suggested that if Drew had made this move, she would be alive, and would not have taken her life – to make the voices go away? Why not get hold of Her Stalker and have him make the voices go away? Would he have done a more merciful job?
I ran for Governor of Oregon and will send a copy of this letter to Governor Kotek. Thomas Hart Benton was the Proprietor of the Oregon Territory. His daughter, Jessie Benton, married John Fremont, who blazed the Oregon Trail.
Sincerely
John Presco

“Thank you for contacting the office of Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs! This is a confirmation of receipt of your inquiry. Our office will review your message as soon as possible.”
“ She specialized in domestic violence and worked for one of the nation’s largest domestic violence centers”
NOTE TO MY READERS”
I have avoided re-reading the autopsy due to my PTSD that puts me in a state where I have gotten in my bed and tried to go to sleep. It takes me days to recover, and function properly, because I have been put in the dark. I fell my credibility is under attack. I have felt like the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf. I am always working on my shredded credibility and low self-esteem.
I am trying to get the Autopsy Report to my reader, and the Governor. I took photos of it with my camera, but do not know how to send them somewhere, get them, and post them here.
Please get my message to the Governor! Feel free to copy and send. Here is my e-mail. Send me a simple e-mail for the Governor. Show me a easy way to make Drew’s Autopsy viewable to everyone.

According to the listing, the 5,609 square-foot home’s “extraordinary luxury” includes floor-to-ceiling windows, LaCantina folding glass doors and a chef’s kitchen. The property’s “resort-like” exterior features a swimming pool and spa and “inspiring” views of Mount Tamalpais.
The California governor, and possible 2028 presidential candidate, appears to have gotten a good deal, too: The home was first listed at $9.5 million in September, before being relisted with a $1 million price cut last month. Newsom’s office would not confirm the purchase but told SFGATE on Monday that “to ensure continuity in their children’s education, the family continues to split their time between Sacramento and Marin counties.”
1888: From the Daily Alta, an article on the marriage of Dr. William O.
Stuttmeister and Augusta D. Janke.
Daily Alta California, Volume 42, Number 14175, 24 June 1888
STUTTMEISTER-JANKE.
One of the most enjoyable weddings of the past week took place at
Belmont, Wednesday morning last, the contracting parties being Miss
Augusta Janke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Janke of Belmont,
and Dr. Wm. Stuttmeister of San Francisco. The house was
handsomely decorated with a rich profusion of ferns and flowers, and
at the appointed hour was filled with the relatives and intimate friends
of the contracting parties. At 11 o’clock the wedding march was played
and the bridal party entered the parlor. The bride was attended by Miss
Alice Stuttmeister, a sister of the groom, and Miss Minnie Janke, a
sister of the bride, as bridesmaids, and Dr. Muldownado and Wm.
Janke, a cousin of the bride, were groomsmen. The Rev. A. L. Brewer
of San Mateo performed the beautiful and impressive ceremony under
an arch composed of flowers and greens very prettily arranged, after
which the guests pressed forward and offered their congratulations.
The bride was attired in a very pretty and becoming costume of the
crushed strawberry shade, and wore a corsage bouquet of orange
blossoms. She carried a handsome bouquet of white flowers. After the
guests had paid their compliments the bride and groom led the way to
the dining-room, where the wedding dinner was served and the health
of the newly married pair was pledged. The feast over, the guests
joined in the dance, and the hours sped right merrily, interspersed with
music singing and recitations, until the bride and groom took their
departure amid a shower of rice and good wishes. Many beautiful
presents were received. Dr. and Mrs. Stuttmeister left Thursday
morning for Santa Cruz and Monterey, where they will spend the
honeymoon. On their return they will make their home in Belmont.
