On this day, I John Presco, sell California to Greenland for…..$5,000,000 Five Million dollars under the stipulation I am given Danish citizenship, a home in Greenland for me and my cat, and, the Danes supply troops for the battle for the Imperial Crown of Russia. The crown of Catherine the Great must not rest upon the head of Vladimir Putin, the Bosom Buddy and Business Partner of Donald Trump, the CEO of the Republican Mineral Company. More about this in my next post.
I am the King of North America, and the embodiment of Prince Rupert, who is related to Christopher of Bavaria, King of Denmark. I recognize the House of Wittelsbach as the Royalty of NATO. I offered Canada the Louisiana Territory for thirty million dollars, and am waring for their reply. I will put you on a waiting list, if you are interested in this property, too,
I just offered the Louisiana Territory to Canada for fifty million, and was wondering what to do with California that I claimed also in 2014. Read my offer to Denmark on my blog, Royal Rosamond Press. https://rosamondpress.com/2025/03/08/i-sell-california-to-denmark/
Sounds great, let’s make New Denmark a reality! *

‘One way or the other’: Five ways Trump’s Greenland saga could play out
In one corner: The world’s largest island, 80% of it covered in ice, whose Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede says the Americans and their leader need to understand that Greenland is not for sale; it can’t be taken; it’s “ours.”
In the other corner, President Donald Trump appears determined to use the approximately 1,300 days he has left of his second term to acquire the mineral-rich, strategically located Arctic territory, making it America’s 51st state (if Canada doesn’t get there first). Trump plans to get it “one way or the other,” as he said Tuesday night in a joint address before Congress.
Greenland is part of Denmark. It’s been that way since the 18th century. It has its own local government, with a parliament that oversees some domestic and civil affairs. Laws pertaining to Greenland’s defense, national security and economy are controlled by policymakers in Copenhagen, more than 2,000 miles away. (The closest U.S. point to Greenland is about 1,600 miles.) Trump first indicated he wanted to buy Greenland in 2019, during his first term. In his second, he’s refused to rule out economic or military force to take control of it.
Here are five ways the Greenland saga could play out:
Greenland votes for independence, asks to join US
Greenlanders have been debating for several years whether they would be better off as an independent country, something that could happen if a national referendum is held, which Denmark has said it would allow if enough of the population voted to hold such a vote. Independence from Denmark will be a key issue in a parliamentary vote in Greenland on Tuesday. However, the outcome of the vote won’t have an immediate impact on independence. And while polls have consistently shown that most Greenlanders would prefer to be independent, they only want that if they don’t lose a standard of living that is backed by Denmark’s welfare state.
Since Trump’s fixation on Greenland has reemerged, opinion polls have indicated the vast majority of Greenlanders don’t want their island to become part of the U.S.
“We don’t want to be Americans, nor Danes. We are Kalaallit,” Egede wrote on Facebook Wednesday, using the Greenlandic Inuit ethnic name for the people of Greenland.
It’s not really clear how the Trump administration would be able to purchase Greenland from Denmark, never mind that Denmark has emphatically stated over and over that it’s not for sale. There’s no obvious legal or commercial pathway for it to happen.
Still, coincidentally, the last foreign territory purchased by the U.S. was from Denmark. It bought the Virgin Islands in 1917 for $25 million. A few subsequent U.S. territorial expansions, in the South Pacific, were the result of annexations and treaties, according to the Global Policy Forum, a watchdog.
Wikistrat, a global risks consultancy, said that one theoretical purchase scenario for Greenland, though it would require agreement from both Greenland and Denmark, could see the U.S. offer to lease Greenland from Denmark for an extended period. This would be similar to what China did with its Hong Kong territory when it leased it to Britain for 99 years from 1898 to 1997. In another theoretical scenario, Greenland could grant what Wikistrat called “minority shares” in its governance to the U.S., primarily in the areas of security and foreign policy. This would mean that the U.S. would likely need to assume about $800 million in annual subsidies now provided by Denmark.
Trump has been using the threat and imposition of tariffs as a means to achieve his policy goals. In recent days, he’s deployed them on the United States’ three largest trading partners: Canada, Mexico and China. He has also dangled the prospect of using tariffs against the European Union, a 27-nation economic bloc of which Denmark is a member. The U.S. president could drastically increase tariffs on Danish – or even EU – goods to force Denmark into concessions over Greenland. Denmark is a major exporter of pharmaceuticals including insulin. The Danish company Novo Nordisk, for example, makes the diabetes drug Ozempic, which can help with weight loss.’We’ll fight to the bitter end’: China and Canada retaliate against new Trump tariffs
Pillsbury, an international law firm, has concluded that Trump could attempt to impose tariffs on imports from Denmark by invoking the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This act gives the U.S. president broad powers to raise tariffs under the guise of U.S. national and economic security. Russia and China are increasingly showing a greater presence in the Arctic areas near Greenland and it is home to a vast store of valuable deposits of rare earth minerals. The U.S. relies on China and other countries for its rare earth needs.
Trump invades Greenland
A U.S. invasion of Greenland may seem far-fetched and amount to the proverbial nuclear option, though Trump has not explicitly ruled it out. Any such invasion would also, theoretically, trigger NATO’s Article 5, which states that an attack against one member state is an attack against them all. Yet this mutual defense clause is complicated by the fact that Denmark and the U.S. are both NATO members. How that square gets circled is not clear.
Plus, in his address to Congress on Tuesday night, Trump said he “strongly” supported Greenland’s “right to determine your own future,” suggesting the military option is unlikely, even if he’s prepared to be persistent in his attempts to absorb Greenland into the U.S.
“I think we’re going to get it,” he said. “One way or the other, we’re going to get it.”
Jesper Willaing Zeuthen, a Danish political scientist, said that in Denmark many people had not paid much attention to Greenland until Trump started talking about acquiring it. He said that the U.S. was a country that Danes “loved for its values and sports” but that Trump’s rhetoric has soured their opinion.
It seems possible Trump could lose interest; that nothing dramatic actually happens.
There already is an important U.S. military base in Greenland, in the northern part of the island, called Thule Air Base. The U.S. could expand its military presence there, with permission from Greenland and Denmark, by deploying additional troops, upgrading its missile defense systems and establishing new Arctic infrastructure.
Anne Merrild is a professor at Aalborg University. Her research includes a focus on the Arctic and its resources. She said that if Trump’s interest in Greenland is primarily driven by security concerns and gaining control over Greenland’s mineral licenses, “these objectives could likely be achieved through negotiations between Greenland and the U.S. − without the need for any form of U.S. takeover.”
Here is a letter I found written to Stacey Pierrot in 1999, a year before her fantastic tale about a world famous woman artist was written. I inform Stacey (on left) I am authoring a book about Jesus begetting a lineage of artists via Mary Magdalene. Dan Brown came out with his fictional borrowings four years later. I could have had my book out if not for the truth my writing was oppressed. I suspect Sandra Faulkner knew Christine was a suicide, and, once they got her to sign a contract to finish her book, they fired her after she signed a NDA. She will be interviewed by a Life Insurance agent, as will Raphael (on right). Alas, we will get the truth out of Drew Benton who was forced to live in a alternative reality thanks to her money-grubbing father and my ungifted siblings who threw me away.
I talk about my fight with the Flockulators, the Christian-right, and their war with homosexuals. I share Laurence Gardner’s book with my daughter and her mother and they hated my interest in it. They wanted to get in Garth and Stacey’s Book of Fantastic Lies which falls into the ‘alternative history’ genre. Of course they suggested to my seventeen year old daughter I was a lunatic. As people go to jail, I will get my credibility back. I will get my grandson back in my life!
Erik of Pomerania was deposed as king of Denmark and Sweden in 1439. Erik’s nephew, Christopher, who was rather unfamiliar with Scandinavian conditions, was elected by the Danish State Council as the successor to his uncle, first as regent from 1439, and then proclaimed King of Denmark at the Viborg Assembly (Danish landsting) on 9 April 1440. He was meant to be a puppet, as evidenced by the saying: “Had the Council demanded the stars of heaven from him, he would have ordered it.”[4] However he succeeded in maintaining some personal control. As a whole his rule, according to the politics of the nobility and his succession, might be called the start of the long period of balance between royal power and nobility which lasted until 1660. He was later elected king of Sweden in 1441, and Norway in June 1442.[5]
For himself Christopher used the otherwise unknown title of arch king (archirex), because in his opinion he ruled an empire, not simply three different countries, and thus ranked immediately under the European emperor.[6]
At the start of his reign, he put down peasant rebellions in Funen and Jutland. Once the rebellion on Funen was suppressed, he turned his attention the uprising in Jutland. North Jutland, especially Vendsyssel, was so restive that a peasant army of 25,000 led by Henrik Tagesen Reventlow (executed 1441) posed a serious threat to Christopher’s continued reign. Before the king could act, Jutland’s noble families raised their own army and marched west of Aalborg to meet Reventlow’s forces.[7]
The peasants had created a gigantic wagon fortress three layers deep to protect themselves from the mounted knights they knew would come against them. They also placed tree branches across the bog in front of the camp and then cast earth on top to make it look like solid ground. The overconfident army of nobles led by Eske Jensen Brock appeared at St Jorgen’s Hill (St. Jørgensbjerg) on 3 May 1441. The knights charged the camp, and were quickly mired down in the bog. The peasants moved in for the kill. Brock was killed in the Battle of St Jorgen’s Hill (Slaget ved Skt. Jørgensbjerg) and dismembered and the pieces sent to the towns in the area as a warning. The peasants then raided Aalborghus (the area’s most important manor) forcing the noble Niels Guldenstierne to flee.[4][8][9][10]
The treatment of the captives after the battle strengthened Christopher’s determination to put down the peasants. With his own army Christopher rode north to the rebel camp at Husby Hole near St Jorgen’s Hill in northern Jutland. Because the rebels outnumbered his troops, Christopher sent word that anyone who left the camp and went home would not be punished for rebellion. The men from the island of Mors and Thisted left, for which they were called cowards and traitors ever after. Christopher ordered the attack on the rebel camp on 8 June 1441 and despite fighting ferociously the rebels could not overcome the heavily armed knights. Thousands of rebels were killed, those who survived were fined heavily. The more severe consequence was that rebels lost their free status and became serfs on the farms where they worked.[4] The king made it a capital crime for peasants to carry weapons longer than a short knife. The subjugation of Denmark’s once free peasants was complete.[11]
In May 1442 Christopher traveled to Lödöse to meet with the nobles from all three kingdoms. He was elected King of Norway there and then went to Oslo where he was crowned on 2 July 1442. The next year he was proclaimed King of Denmark at the Urnehoved Assembly near Ribe. When his residence at Roskilde burned down, Christopher moved to Copenhagen and made it the capital of Denmark.[12]
The Swedish nobles were not happy to relinquish any power and thus didn’t like him, claiming he was too German for them and that he allowed his uncle (ex-King Erik) to plunder shipping from his castle on Gotland without any attempt to stop him. They blamed a series of bad harvests on him. People were so hungry they mixed ground tree bark with the little flour they could find. Christopher was contemptuously nicknamed the “Bark King” in Sweden. On the other hand, he tried to support the cities and their merchants as far as the limits of nobility and Hanseatic cities allowed. During his reign Copenhagen was made permanently the capital of Denmark (municipal charter of 1443).
He carried on an ineffective policy of war and negotiations against Erik in Gotland which did little to help the dissatisfaction within both Sweden and the Hanseatic League. The Kalmar Union Treaty was changed so that the aristocracy had most of the policy-making powers, and the king lost many of the powers monarchs had acquired since Viking times.[when?] The results of this policy of balance were still not reached when he suddenly died as the last descendant of Valdemar IV of Denmark.
