One of the Three Percenters punching a Lesbian
A Minnesota gun-rights group accused Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and FBI director Kash Patel of spreading misinformation about the right to bear arms at protests.
I was invited to downtown Eugene to have a religious debate with armed men – and women. I came as the….
ANTICHRIST
This was six years ago. Was Charlie Kirk doing his debates? OMG! Is that the head of the Oath Keepers at the beginning of this video, where I almost came to blows with a Trump-mite who got in a fight with a lesbian. A guy comes thorough carrying a guitar, declaring
“Open carry!
Trump is aching to send his goon quad to Oregon. Thinking he is the most clever general that eve lived, he wanted to give his troops some experience in Minnesota. I think the shooting were deliberate to see how the crowd reacts. Trump asked if it was legal to shoot protestor in Oregon – in the leg!
I was surrounded by guys carrying guns. I want to make a film. Anyone want to help?

The Three Percenter of Oregon
Here are the Three Percenters.
Oregon III%
October 3, 2016
This an excerpt from Up in Arms: A Guide to Oregon’s Patriot Movement co-published with Rural Organizing Project.
Oregon Three Percenters are very active and seems to have eclipsed the Oath Keepers as the locus of Patriot movement organizing in the state.
The Three Percenters have a complex structure. Anyone can call themselves a Three Percenter, and there are also competing national organizations. But there is also a statewide group, called simply, “Oregon III%,” which functions as a group-based network, albeit with a central leadership.1) (This seems to run contrary to cofounder Vanderboegh’s original vision for the Three Percenters as a decentralized form of the militia that was harder to infiltrate and disrupt. However, these more organized Three Percenter groups, in Oregon and Idaho, have been very successful.) There is significant overlap between Oath Keepers and Three Percenters, as well.
The President of Oregon III% is David Samuel Hill, and the Vice President is Jeff Roberts; the group registered as a 501(c)4 in November 2015.2) Roberts claims that in 1993, as a 15-year-old, he drove to the Ruby Ridge standoff with Bo Gritz.3) In September 2015, Hill said the group had 1,000 members and a full “executive staff”—up from 200 members and no staff, except its president, less than a year before.4) These numbers have undoubtedly grown since the Malheur occupation. Oregon III% divides the state up into seven “Zones,” plus an independent eighth section.
Hill says, in addition to participating in the Pacific Patriots Network, Oregon III% has “a close working relationship with other patriotic, prepper and training groups.”5) Oregon III% co-organized the February 2015 Salem anti-SB 941 rally, was active in the Sugar Pine Mine and White Hope Mine armed camps, were at May 2015 anti-SB 941 rallies, and were part of “Protect the Protectors” campaign to “guard” U.S. military recruiting stations in July 2015.6)
One flyer indicates that BJ Soper and the Oregon III% were the organizers of the initial January 2, 2016 march in Burns, Oregon (Rice claims it as PPN and Oregon III%). Soper, and both Oregon and Idaho Three Percenters, spoke at the rally.7) As part of the PPN, they were active in Burns during the occupation. At least one Oregon Three Percenter, Flipp Todd, was part of the occupation early on.8)
Some members of the Oregon III% are reportedly involved with an anti-immigrant vigilante group, which does street patrols, called the Soldiers of Odin. The group was founded in Finland by white supremacists, and it has recently spread across the United States.9)
As of August 2016, the Oregon III% Zone divisions and leaders are:
- Zone 1 (Columbia, Clatsop, Tillamook, Washington, Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Lincoln, Linn, and Benton counties) — Ron McCue
- Zone 2 (Hood River, Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam) — Trevor Anders
- Zone 3 (Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Baker, and Wallowa) — Damon Locke
- Zone 4 (Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Coos, and Curry)—Tom McKirgan
- Zone 5 (Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson, Wheeler) — Jerrad Tyrea Robison
- Zone 6 (Klamath, Lake)—Tim Harris
- Tri-County III% (Grant, Harney, Malheur)— Jason Ward (contact)
- Zone 8 (Lane)—Isreal Southerland
What was Zone 7—Harney, Malheur, and Grant counties—became the Tri-County III%, which is described as “a separate, autonomous III% group separate from Oregon III%. Though not connected, Oregon III% recognizes and supports Tri-County III%.”10)
The county chapters include Multnomah, Washington, Marion and Polk, Linn and Benton, Clatsop and Columbia, Clackamas, Lincoln, Josephine, Jackson, Douglas, Coos, and Curry.11)

Anatomy of a Punch
Posted on August 13, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
One of the Three Percenters is punched in the nose by a woman who comes over the top of his punch. I suspect she has been trained. Another woman, in green hair, lays one on him, and I think this is the woman that really connected. His Red Hat Twin does not come to his Trump Buddie’s defense, but, will later take his cowardice out on me – an old man!
Let’s start out with the giant dude they chose to lead the way. Did he ever play football? LeGarrette Blount was my good neighbor.
It looks like Lucky Red Cap hit The Green Monster first. Note the statue of Wayne Morse over his head, with a microphone that amps ones opinions. Hitting a woman has never been a powerful message for a man to make. Is Wayne calling the fight?
I think the naked guy dancer is Ambrose Holtham-Keathly, Belle’s exf-flame who was going bonkers over the loss of Whoville.
What is astounding, is, the 3Centers did not send a scout to study the battlefield and give a report to their commander. They just sign-up to speak, and thought this was a contract, their Bill of Rights! Next to Ken Kesey Square, Wayne Morse Square is one of most hotly contested pieces of real-estate on the Ring of Fire, after Hong Kong! There was a Gay Pride event going on nearby. The women slugging it out, are probably lovers. EPD does not step in between these kind of fights, unless they got a squad of ten – armed men! In Vietnam, all these Centers would have been fragged.
I have been working on a proposal for HBO to make a series of my adventures. I’m going to start out with ‘The Defeat At Naked Pants’. After Custer’s Blunder, this defeat will be studied by the Army Rangers for a hundred years.
“They should have had one of their women lead the way!”
“How about the dame with the shotgun?”
“How about a juggler? They could have had an opening act!”
“Tyrants hate to entertain their enemy. Consider Nero throwing Christians to the lions in the Coliseum.”
“How about another dog act?”
“Nah! That dirty trick only works once.”
“How about – Blondie!”

Note my new muse, my Shield-Maiden, is oblivious to the action.

God, Guns, And Liberty
Public
· Hosted by Jim Baker and Jamie Burnett
- clockSaturday, August 10, 2019 at 1 PM – 3 PM2 days ago
Do you love or at least respect God and morality and tradition, love guns and the 2nd amendment and right to be armed, and our American freedom? Then this rally is for you!
We are going to show Eugene that it’s cool to lean right politically and believe in God as well as support the president of the United States! We will meet at the Eugene Courthouse downtown at 1pm on August 10th and the event will end at 3pm sharp. We will have local people speaking on God and self defense, the 2nd Amendment.
This is a patriotic event that will promote God, morality, tradition, the right to self defense and own firearms and carry them.
We cannot let leftists control our city and tell us to keep silent about our beliefs! Let’s show them that we are positive and peaceful people while making a statement about our willingness to appeal to a higher authority above man, that we will defend our country, and we will defend our president.
This is a 2A friendly event and there will be many guns present including AR-15’s. This event is not for soft-conservatives, but those who are bold. We want to show Eugene that there is no reason to fear weapons like firearms as they are just objects and tools that are not alive.
Also, this is a pro America/America First kind of rally. Please make sure any flags, signs or symbols represent America, MAGA, God, and other Americana things in the style of 1776. We ask that you don’t bring Confederate flags or signs to this rally just so we keep the rally focused and leave the media with nothing to bite on except our guns and freedom! This is definitely a non-racist rally. We do not want white nationalists or any national socialist or alt right messages.
No matter what the media will say this is NOT a “far-right” event. This is a solid right event though. Regular conservatives and libertarians.
This is also not a Christian specific event even though it is Christian oriented. We hope many Christians show up, but if you are not a Christian you are welcome to this event and we encourage you to show up anyway. The point is that our nation was founded on Christian morality which blessed us and gave us guidance, morals, and tradition that kept us so strong. If you appeal to a higher authority, or you refuse to bow down to man and bad decisions made by them and appeal to something greater than them then this event is for you! Even atheists could get behind that! We welcome conservatives and libertarians from all walks of life! But if Christ offends you so much that you wouldn’t show up then you are just a snowflake.
Pride was born as a protest, and organizers aimed to re-enforce those roots Saturday in Boston, as “No Kings” demonstrations took place across the country.
The parade began at 11 a.m. in Copley Square, converging the two causes as marchers crossed downtown. Twirling rainbow umbrellas and waving Pride flags under drizzling skies, paraders whooped and cheered as they set off through Boston’s Back Bay.
Celebration organizer Boston Pride for the People says this year’s theme, “Here to Stay,” is meant “to send a clear message that people who identify as LGBTQIA+ can not be erased, pushed into the shadows, or silenced, in the face of increased political attacks.”
Brian Gonzalez, 37, of Boston, came carrying a Mexican Pride flag. Like for many attendees, showing up was part celebration, part protest.
“I’m a gay Latino immigrant and a U.S. citizen, and I am proud of the way that my life has gone and the intersectionality of all of my identities,” Gonzalez said. “And being me means sticking it to the man, and that’s why I’m here.”
Marianne Voss, 54, came from Connecticut with her 17-year-old daughter, Maya Flaherty, specifically because the event combined a Pride celebration and a protest against the Trump administration.
“I’m here because the administration is removing protections for the LGBQT community in federal housing and federal contracts — essentially eliminating the right for trans people to exist,” Voss said. “And I think it’s important for those with privilege to show they have allies.”
Among the attendees were Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey. Warren, sporting a rainbow boa, high-fived spectators along the parade route wishing them a “happy Pride.”
Jojo Jaime, 26, of Lawrence, called out to passersby to tell them they are loved.
“No matter what, even if you feel like you don’t have anyone by your side, you are always loved deep down,” Jaime said. “Somebody out there is rooting for you. Never give up, whatever you’re going through.”
Threat From Alley Valkyrie
Posted on January 8, 2015by Royal Rosamond Press
Here is the threat I received from Alley Valkyrie ten months ago. I did not know her. Belle did not tell me to stop calling her or write about her until after I received this threat that was carried out.
“I’m going to make this very simple for you. I don’t know if you know who I am, but I sure as hell know who you are, and when you fuck with my friends, you fuck with me. Stop writing about Belle or I am going to make your life very difficult. I mean it. If I see one more word about her on your blog, your FB, or anywhere else, I will make sure that you experience all the fear and discomfort that she is experiencing right now. And no, this isn’t a physical threat, so don’t try to play victim. Frankly, I encourage you to contact EPD, as they already know all about you. I will not do anything illegal, but mark my word you will regret it if you write one more word about her. I will make sure that the entire community knows exactly how much of a sick fuck you are. Your picture, your name, and “samples” of your writing will be posted on every bulletin board in town. There will not be a single person in the Eugene/Springfield area who won’t know that you’re a sick stalker who won’t leave a stalker who won’t leave a young girl alone. Cut it out. Now. This is your first, last, and only warning.”
I Infiltrated SLEEPS
Posted on September 15, 2015by Royal Rosamond Press
For a year and half, I knew if I went downtown to a City Council meeting, I would run smack-dab into my nemesis, Alley Valkryrie. I am a prophet. She was the first person I see as I came to overlook Wayne Morris Plaza. Holy crap, I’m right on top of her! She is eight feet away. What are the odds!
“Alley is a Feri initiate and Witch who runs a small local gift and clothing business in town called Practical Rabbit, and has become a central activist regarding how the homeless are treated in Eugene, Oregon.”
http://wildhunt.org/2012/12/alley-valkyrie-and-the-magic-of-activism.html
“Please, go ahead and blog my threat.
You have no fucking idea what you’re getting yourself into
You also have no idea how many people are already on to you, and how many people have my back. We also have six other mutual friends who are going to learn about your behavior ASAP
And just so you know as well: if you write anything about me that could be construed as defamatory, you will be hearing…”
“OUT OF THE GUTTER AND IN YOUR FACE”
I make a beeline for a bush because my heart was racing. It is thumping in my chest! I was not breathing. I felt, faint. We have never been in the same place at the same time. If I had climbed on the bench and beat my chest, then my video would go viral. There would have been a riot and utter chaos as she shouted orders to her bodyguards – that have nothing to lose. I would be chased around the plaza by members of a radical rock group, singing;
“One way, or another!”
Safely behind a bush I call her my “mortal enemy”. A woman hears me, and asks;
“Who’s up there?”
Again I miss my chance!
“Tis I…….Jon Gregory de Rougemont! The mortal enemy of that lamed-brain nincompoop, Alley ‘In your face’ Valkyrie!”
Just then, my old neighbor, Kevin is in my lense. He is the oldest radical in town after me. The woman backs off. Suddenly, there goes Alley, across the plaza!
I watch her get in line to go before the mayor. Here is another chance I did not take. I could get in line behind her, and ask for an interview while we wait. Close by is a woman officer of the law. But, this would not stop Alley from whispering to her guard;
“It’s Jon. Go tell my Six Alley Goons to follow him when he leaves the meeting! I want him to feel UNSAFE!”
Are these six goons – Feri trained? ‘How to play the pixie with a broken wing, and intimidate your foes.’
I talk with a young woman of Bohemian extraction. I ask her to take a pic of me holding my trophy! I could not get in due to the crowd.
I am going to be seventy years of age in twenty two days. If I would jump out of a plane with a chute on my birthday, I would fall asleep halfway down. This is exactly the kind of thrill-seeking that makes me feel young. It always has. I am a radical newspaper man. I have scooped the other reporters.

Dark Side of Ex-Slug Queen
Three Percenters Assault Gays
I am still working on my letter to Senator Wyden and Adam Shiff. I am going to inform them of what I witnessed at a Gay Pride Rally at Wayne Morse Square. Did the Three Percenters deliberately book themselves in order to clash with LGBT folks? The 3 advertised there would be Bible lessons, and I dressed like The Anti-Christ, a title applied to Merlin, who I also dressed like.
I found a video made in Portland where the same chant I heard is made.
“No Trump! No KKK – no Fascist State!”
There appears to be a group that shadows these Jesus Freaks For Trump, they dressed in black. Is this Afta, who is being blamed for the Jan 6th Insurrection-Riot? Donald Trump is fully aware of these folks who need to be spotlighted at the hearings to show they…..DID NOTHING WRONG! Ed Meese has probably kept a dozier on Afta, because this is HIS FAVORITE SPORT….Oddball Hunting!
I have no club or group to back me up. Is Jesus on my side? My neighbors could be guilty of witness tampering if they knew I was going to bring radical people to court.
I did try to become a member of OCCUPY Eugene and attended one meeting. I suggested WE take over the Post Office that was up for sale. When I heard they were going to champion the homeless, I told them that was a bad idea. I told them they need to…..LOOK LIKE PATRIOTS! That was 2011. Now the whole Democratic Party looks like Anti-Christian Communist Scum-bag Lovers of Illegal Aliens out to overthrow the U.S. Government. Ed Meese – is chuckling! Democrats – are going to be losers!
I get no help with this blog. Ken Babbs and his Ancient Pot Party – are worthless cowards. They don’t want The Crazies coming after them – when they re high – because they don’t want to be more paranoid than they already are! Hallucinating Christians have no problem. They pray for the beloved End Time!
Don’t you understand, it is the job of the church and their holy and rich Republican party to take care of the homeless crisis. Rich Republicans offer NOTHING to the people, but, a gun, a flag, Jesus……and a bird! They grab the American Eagle and sell it back to – the suckers! No wonder President Grifter went insane. There were Con Jobs – everywhere! He wanted another term – so he could work them all!
After Obama won a second term, I switched parties and became a Republican so I can order The Crazies For Jesus out of my kin’s party. John Fremont is in my family tree. I ran for Governor of Oregon and got 170 votes. I was a HARD WORKING CANDIDATE! Most of my competition just waved around a gun, a flag, and a crucifix………and folks came to them – down on their knees – like ignorant sheep!
“God-Jesus…help me so I don’t have to think – this day – or any day!”
I screwed this post up trying to paste the pic of me as Uncle Samaclaus. I replicated parts of it. I have yet to blog on why I think my man, Peter Difazio, quit politics. I guess he is incredulous about how stupid white men are. How about white women? At the OCCUPY meeting I tried to explain my thinking about seizing the Post Office – AND THE ROADS TO THE POSTS OFFICE!
“You have a Constitutional right to maintain postal roads! If the police arrest and remove US, then we take it to the Supreme Court! Get it?”
The basic response was, this;
“I’m not into anything that is Government. My old lady is pissed because I spend so much money to get higher THC content weed. My cosmic excuses are wearing thin. Her sister just became a Jesus Freak. If I look like a church dude helping the homeless, then, I got a meaningful existence! It’s – a sure thing!”
How many Cosmic Dudes are shocked that the Supreme Court repealed Roe vs. Wade?
John Presco
When the Constitution was ratified in 1789, the Postal Clause in Article I, Section 8 gave Congress the power “To establish Post Offices and post Roads” and “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper” for executing this task.
In 1981, the Supreme Court in United States Postal Service v. Council of Greenburgh Civic Associations took up a constitutional challenge to a federal law prohibiting the placement of unstamped “mailable matter” in a letterbox approved by the United States Postal Service. Violators faced a fine. The Greenburgh Civic Associations had a practice of delivering its messages to residents by placing unstamped notices in the residents’ home mailboxes.
Today in labor history: Meese tells employers to spy on workers

Meese was attorney general from 1985 through 1988, but he resigned while under investigation from a special prosecutor over an oil pipeline deal in the Middle East.

May 5 pro-Trump rally brings out supporters, racists and their protesters
NEWSBY HENRY HOUSTONPOSTED ON
AMay 5 rally brought out about 40 Trumpian flag-wavers and more than 100 protesters who tried to drown them out.
Protesters say they didn’t show up to the Sunday rally on the Harlow Road I-5 overpass because of President Donald Trump’s red-attired supporters. They say they were concerned with white supremacists like Joey Gibson of Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys coming to the Eugene-Springfield area.
Police, dressed in riot gear and some armed with riot guns, blocked off Harlow Road, one of the roadways connecting Eugene-Springfield.
The organizers of the May 5 rally says it was intended to prove that the area supports Trump’s America First policies. The rally was supposed to feature a lineup of conservative and right-wing speakers including Gibson and Joey Nations, both of whom brawled in Portland with Patriot Prayer.
Although Gibson didn’t show up, the rally and protest gave Eugene-Springfield a taste of what usually happens in Portland — clashes between white supremacists and their protesters.

New report details significant role of Christian nationalism in January 6 attack on the Capitol
by Don Byrd | Feb 14, 2022
A remarkable and essential new report issued jointly by BJC and the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) provides a comprehensive look at the way Christian nationalism motivated and permeated the January 6, 2021, insurrection by documenting and examining the imagery, prayers, and other statements of the rioters and riot organizers. As New Yorker journalist Luke Mogelson – who was in the Capitol building that day – said to Andrew Seidel, one of the report authors, “[t]he Christianity was one of the surprises to me in covering this stuff, and it has been hugely underestimated… That Christian nationalism you talk about is the driving force and also the unifying force of these disparate players…”
The document, titled “Christian Nationalism and the January 6 Insurrection,” provides detailed and documented evidence of the extent of Christian nationalism throughout multiple elements of the attack on January 6, including the pervasive symbols, signs and iconography in the crowd:
The imagery and violence of January 6 left indelible stamps on the American memory. Of the thousands of photos and videos taken that day, several moments have come to symbolize the insurrection. The five categories of iconic imagery examined here [the gallows; the cross; flags; signs, clothing and Bible verses; and white Jesus and religious iconography] all have ties to Christian nationalism. The officers on duty that day described seeing the Christian nationalism, even if they didn’t know what to call it. D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges testified to a House Select Committee, “It was clear the terrorists perceived themselves to be Christians,”
The report also emphasizes that Christian nationalism was on display not only on January 6 but also in the days and weeks leading up to the attack, intensifying and unifying those who believe the false claim that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 presidential election, starting as far back as Election Day:
Almost immediately after the polls closed on Election Day, [Christian nationalist political] machinery changed gears to stoke outrage and fear, exhort action, and work to give Trump a second term as president, no matter what the voters wanted. Paula White, still involved with the White House at the time …began hosting nightly prayers… “White and fellow prayer warriors called on God to smite the president’s enemies—his political opponents, anyone standing in the way of a second term, and anyone interfering with their vision of national and global dominion,” explained one observer. On the second night of prayer, White preached that “God, we declare that you will keep the POTUS [sic] in his purpose and in his position,” and, “We override the will of man for the will of God, right now.”
New evidence reveals coordination between Oath Keepers, Three Percenters on Jan. 6
Evidence reviewed by NBC News shows a new connection between the Oath Keepers and a group of Three Percenters from California charged in connection with Jan. 6.
Members of the Oath Keepers on the East Front of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
WASHINGTON — Derek Kinnison, a self-identified member of the Three-Percenter militia group, was one of six California men indicted by a federal grand jury last year in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Kinnison, the indictment alleged, was part of a conspiracy to obstruct the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral college victory, joining a group that came to D.C. armed and “ready and willing to fight” in the nation’s capital.
Kinnison was also a member of the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government organization whose members have pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, according to texts and images reviewed by NBC News.
As the Justice Department and the House Select Committee press their investigation into the Jan. 6 attack, the central role of the Oath Keepers is coming into sharper focus. The Oath Keepers, headed by Stewart Rhodes, have links to many of the primary figures being investigated in connection with the Capitol breach and the lead-up to the attack.
Opposing protesters face off outside Seattle City Hall, 3 arrested

SEATTLE — Right-wing demonstrators gathered Saturday at Seattle City Hall for a “Liberty or Death” rally that drew counter-protesters from the left, while dozens of police kept the two sides separated. Three men have been arrested for misdemeanor assault.
The right-wing groups Washington 3 Percenters and Patriot Prayer were holding the rally outside Seattle City Hall to protest an effort to launch a gun-control initiative that would raise the age in Washington state for people buying semi-automatic rifles and against political violence on the left — though there were dozens of assault-style rifles and handguns within the group.
The left-wing groups Organized Workers for Labor Solidarity, Radical Women and the Freedom Socialist Party were rallying at the same site.
“Their message won’t go unanswered in Seattle,” Annaliza Torres, a counter-protest organizer with the Freedom Socialist Party, said Friday before the rally.

(Warning: There may be explicit language in the livestream)
Counter-protesters say they are fighting against intolerance and also remembering those lost to far-right violence like anti-fascist activist Heather Heyer, who was killed in Charlottesville last August while she was protesting a white nationalist rally.
“We’re for self-defense,” said Monica Hill, counter protester. “If somebody is being violent you better hope I have the skill to be violent back to defend myself. But this movement and what it stands for is not violent. We don’t stand for laying back and letting ourselves be attacked and exterminated.”
Hundreds of protesters on each side of the street were separated by Saturday afternoon by metal barriers along Fourth Avenue and police officers as the left-wing protesters yelled and used cow bells and sirens to try to drown out speeches from the right-wing side.

“When they say it’s our time to rise, what does that mean?, said Washington 3 Percenter’s organizer Matt Marshall. “Oh, it’s just the silent majority outside of the coasts have been quiet for a while, and it’s our time to have a voice and stop being silent.”
The challenge was keeping each side from crossing to the opposing side, especially when the Proud Boys started marching around City Hall.
Some counter protestors considered the officers police presence too much.
“I think the police are way, way overstated and they turn into a fascist escort service,” Doreen McGrath said. “They have to escort the right wing to the bathroom and everything, it’s ridiculous.”
The counter demonstrators outnumbered and drowned out the ‘Proud Boys’ rally from across the street.
“We’re building a movement that’s going to stand up to these guys every-time they climb out of their rocks and they can climb back under their rocks,” McGrath said.
Additional police also arrived, including police in riot gear with batons who took up positions in the street. Bicycle officers lined up their bikes as a type of moving barrier to keep protesters from entering the street, which remained open to traffic.
“Let’s dominate again and destroy these communists once and for all,” protester Jered Bonneau said. “No more gun control, no more political correctness, no more safe spaces, no more acceptance of ludicrous ideas. If they want to flight, lets fight.”
The gun-control initiative would boost the age for the purchase of semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21 and would expand the background checks for those purchases. The measure would also require people to complete a firearm safety training course and create standards for safely storing firearms.
But a judge on Friday threw out 300,000 signatures needed to put the initiative on the November ballot, saying the petition’s format did not follow election law. The Alliance for Gun Responsibility, the group behind the initiative, has filed a notice of appeal with the Washington Supreme Court.
The protest came two weeks after police in riot gear in Portland, Oregon, tried to keep right-wing and left-wing groups apart. The effort mostly succeeded but police were accused of being heavy-handed, prompting the city’s new police chief to order a review of officers’ use of force.

New report details significant role of Christian nationalism in January 6 attack on the Capitol
by Don Byrd | Feb 14, 2022
A remarkable and essential new report issued jointly by BJC and the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) provides a comprehensive look at the way Christian nationalism motivated and permeated the January 6, 2021, insurrection by documenting and examining the imagery, prayers, and other statements of the rioters and riot organizers. As New Yorker journalist Luke Mogelson – who was in the Capitol building that day – said to Andrew Seidel, one of the report authors, “[t]he Christianity was one of the surprises to me in covering this stuff, and it has been hugely underestimated… That Christian nationalism you talk about is the driving force and also the unifying force of these disparate players…”
The document, titled “Christian Nationalism and the January 6 Insurrection,” provides detailed and documented evidence of the extent of Christian nationalism throughout multiple elements of the attack on January 6, including the pervasive symbols, signs and iconography in the crowd:
The imagery and violence of January 6 left indelible stamps on the American memory. Of the thousands of photos and videos taken that day, several moments have come to symbolize the insurrection. The five categories of iconic imagery examined here [the gallows; the cross; flags; signs, clothing and Bible verses; and white Jesus and religious iconography] all have ties to Christian nationalism. The officers on duty that day described seeing the Christian nationalism, even if they didn’t know what to call it. D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges testified to a House Select Committee, “It was clear the terrorists perceived themselves to be Christians,”
The report also emphasizes that Christian nationalism was on display not only on January 6 but also in the days and weeks leading up to the attack, intensifying and unifying those who believe the false claim that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 presidential election, starting as far back as Election Day:
Almost immediately after the polls closed on Election Day, [Christian nationalist political] machinery changed gears to stoke outrage and fear, exhort action, and work to give Trump a second term as president, no matter what the voters wanted. Paula White, still involved with the White House at the time …began hosting nightly prayers… “White and fellow prayer warriors called on God to smite the president’s enemies—his political opponents, anyone standing in the way of a second term, and anyone interfering with their vision of national and global dominion,” explained one observer. On the second night of prayer, White preached that “God, we declare that you will keep the POTUS [sic] in his purpose and in his position,” and, “We override the will of man for the will of God, right now.”
New evidence reveals coordination between Oath Keepers, Three Percenters on Jan. 6
Evidence reviewed by NBC News shows a new connection between the Oath Keepers and a group of Three Percenters from California charged in connection with Jan. 6.
Members of the Oath Keepers on the East Front of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
WASHINGTON — Derek Kinnison, a self-identified member of the Three-Percenter militia group, was one of six California men indicted by a federal grand jury last year in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Kinnison, the indictment alleged, was part of a conspiracy to obstruct the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral college victory, joining a group that came to D.C. armed and “ready and willing to fight” in the nation’s capital.
Kinnison was also a member of the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government organization whose members have pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, according to texts and images reviewed by NBC News.
As the Justice Department and the House Select Committee press their investigation into the Jan. 6 attack, the central role of the Oath Keepers is coming into sharper focus. The Oath Keepers, headed by Stewart Rhodes, have links to many of the primary figures being investigated in connection with the Capitol breach and the lead-up to the attack.

Yesterday I took a walk around the block and encountered a neighbor walking a Dachshund. I saw Clark, the Siamese cat walk ten feet and greet this dog. They touched noses. The owner told me they were friends, and sometimes play together.
Just before Colt-Brembe disappeared, I saw a stick up against the wall next to wear Kim Hafner sits on her bench that was gone – after Brembe was gone! Why didn’t El Lardo keep this stick handy for Clark who she said hissed at her Dachshund. She said this after she kicked Clark who did not see her coming. Why would Clark hiss at any dog? The couple upstairs told me Clark plays with their dog.
Above are pics of me saving the Post Office, and with Hemp Woman at OCCUPY.
Here are the Nazis I told Hafner about.

On Aug. 4, the Portland Police Bureau in Oregon protected two proto-fascist gangs as they marched around town, some in full body armor, in a planned disturbance disguised as a free speech rally.
Members of Patriot Prayer and its violent, punch-happy bodyguards, the Proud Boys, laughed and cheered behind barricades as cops fired dangerous rubber bullets and other nonlethal weapons at their opposition: a mix of local anti-racist and anti-fascist demonstrators. Cops nearly killed one of those these counterprotesters when an impact grenade penetrated a man’s helmet and embedded itself into his skull.
The Three Percenter of Oregon
Posted on August 13, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
Here are the Three Percenters.
Oregon III%
October 3, 2016
This an excerpt from Up in Arms: A Guide to Oregon’s Patriot Movement co-published with Rural Organizing Project.
Oregon Three Percenters are very active and seems to have eclipsed the Oath Keepers as the locus of Patriot movement organizing in the state.
The Three Percenters have a complex structure. Anyone can call themselves a Three Percenter, and there are also competing national organizations. But there is also a statewide group, called simply, “Oregon III%,” which functions as a group-based network, albeit with a central leadership.1) (This seems to run contrary to cofounder Vanderboegh’s original vision for the Three Percenters as a decentralized form of the militia that was harder to infiltrate and disrupt. However, these more organized Three Percenter groups, in Oregon and Idaho, have been very successful.) There is significant overlap between Oath Keepers and Three Percenters, as well.
The President of Oregon III% is David Samuel Hill, and the Vice President is Jeff Roberts; the group registered as a 501(c)4 in November 2015.2) Roberts claims that in 1993, as a 15-year-old, he drove to the Ruby Ridge standoff with Bo Gritz.3) In September 2015, Hill said the group had 1,000 members and a full “executive staff”—up from 200 members and no staff, except its president, less than a year before.4) These numbers have undoubtedly grown since the Malheur occupation. Oregon III% divides the state up into seven “Zones,” plus an independent eighth section.
Hill says, in addition to participating in the Pacific Patriots Network, Oregon III% has “a close working relationship with other patriotic, prepper and training groups.”5) Oregon III% co-organized the February 2015 Salem anti-SB 941 rally, was active in the Sugar Pine Mine and White Hope Mine armed camps, were at May 2015 anti-SB 941 rallies, and were part of “Protect the Protectors” campaign to “guard” U.S. military recruiting stations in July 2015.6)
One flyer indicates that BJ Soper and the Oregon III% were the organizers of the initial January 2, 2016 march in Burns, Oregon (Rice claims it as PPN and Oregon III%). Soper, and both Oregon and Idaho Three Percenters, spoke at the rally.7) As part of the PPN, they were active in Burns during the occupation. At least one Oregon Three Percenter, Flipp Todd, was part of the occupation early on.8)
Some members of the Oregon III% are reportedly involved with an anti-immigrant vigilante group, which does street patrols, called the Soldiers of Odin. The group was founded in Finland by white supremacists, and it has recently spread across the United States.9)
As of August 2016, the Oregon III% Zone divisions and leaders are:
- Zone 1 (Columbia, Clatsop, Tillamook, Washington, Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Lincoln, Linn, and Benton counties) — Ron McCue
- Zone 2 (Hood River, Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam) — Trevor Anders
- Zone 3 (Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Baker, and Wallowa) — Damon Locke
- Zone 4 (Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Coos, and Curry)—Tom McKirgan
- Zone 5 (Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson, Wheeler) — Jerrad Tyrea Robison
- Zone 6 (Klamath, Lake)—Tim Harris
- Tri-County III% (Grant, Harney, Malheur)— Jason Ward (contact)
- Zone 8 (Lane)—Isreal Southerland
What was Zone 7—Harney, Malheur, and Grant counties—became the Tri-County III%, which is described as “a separate, autonomous III% group separate from Oregon III%. Though not connected, Oregon III% recognizes and supports Tri-County III%.”10)
The county chapters include Multnomah, Washington, Marion and Polk, Linn and Benton, Clatsop and Columbia, Clackamas, Lincoln, Josephine, Jackson, Douglas, Coos, and Curry.11)

Patriot Can’t Spell – Lost Two Sons
Posted on October 28, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
Here is a Patriot’s letter. He can’t spell, but his sacrifice so we can be free, is written in blood. If you are poor, and you can’t spell, then do I got the Right Country for you. We got Freedom, here, that is hanging on by a thread. Captain Crane is writing the news and sending it to other Patriots via the Post Office.
Not able to afford a headstone, Samuel Rosamond’s son, carved a homegrown one! In turn, he just got a stone, and then, a marker placed in the Rosamond cemetery in Arkansas.
I mock those Fake Patriots and screeching angry White Men, who think they got a good cause, and thus – America belongs to them.
Come and try to take this sacred land!
John
“I rot to you about this before but per haps you did not git the leatter I lost two of my sons by the enemy one was taken prisoner and murdered and the other died with his wound”
“Captain Adam Crane Jones married, about 1747, Catherine Campbell of Virginia. Her ancestors, along with other Scotch Protestants, emigrated to Ireland about 1600 from the Highlands of Scotland and came to the New World in the early part of the eighteenth century. They settled first in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, later removing to Augusta County, Virginia. [Wallace, p19].
“Samuel enlisted in the militia around 1776-77 and served as a Lieutenant under Captain Adam Crain Jones and Colonel Robert Anderson (for whom Anderson County, SC was named.) In 1782 he was appointed Captain and served at the Siege of Ninety-Six and the Battle of Kettle Creek in Wilkes County, GA on Feb. 14, 1779 during the Revolutionary War. This battle enabled the revolutionists to halt the British advance in Georgia after the capture of Savannah. According to Samuel’s great-grandson James Oliver Rosamond, Samuel served as a scout and spy under the direction of Colonel Francis Mariion, the “Swamp Fox”.

1785 Adam and Mary Jones write a letter to Nathaniel Saunders. The following letter indicates to me that Adam’s two sons killed in the Revolutionary War would have to have been born at least five years earlier than Gifford’s records indicate. It seems that the previous two years of 1783 -85 was very traumatic for the family with loosing two sons and being run off the plantation. The address of “Dear Brother” and salutation of “Your Loving Brother and Sister” are puzzling. Adam Jones could not have been Nathaniel’s brother was Mary Jones a Saunders. I have been able to find no record of this marriage to date. It is late enough in Adam’s life that his first wife could have died and he remarried. However, other researchers have said that Catherine died after 1815. Is Catherine the second wife?

My Kindred Fought For Your Freedom
Posted on October 28, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
Those folks who scream they are patriots, and this Country belongs to them, expect you to bow down down to them, worship as they worship, and read what they chose to read. You can spot these Liars a mile off. You see them on the News wearing red hats.
I’m done waiting for the Red Hats to wake up and see the Tyrant they adore and serve. Trump is a coward who hides behind all that my Rosamond kindred, held dear, while he attacks what is truly precious – our Freedom! If the Red Hat of a True Traitor tells me and the world, who they really are, then, come take your red hat from my hand. Any enemy of the Free Press, is the enemy of my Rosamond ancestors. Consider this a DECLARATION!

Patriot Samuel Rosamond
Posted on July 4, 2011by Royal Rosamond Press
Samuel Roseman was a member of the South Carolina Militia and a Scout for Francis Marion the “Swamp Fox” who Mel Gibson’s character was based on in the movie `The Patriot’. Samuel was the brother of my great, great, great grandfather, James Rosamond, who was also in the South Carolina Militia, and more then likely fought alongside his brother and Francis Marion. There may be a chance my grandfather, Frank Wesley Rosamond was named after Francis, as were other Rosamonds“Marion Francis “Frank” ROSAMOND”
Because of this new uncovered history, I find my grandfather’s claim, that his mother, Ida Rose, is the offspring of Sir Issac Hull, a Captain of the U.S.S. Constitution to be very credible. It is alleged
Captain Hull had no children, but, he was a sailor and visited many ports.
“Samuel enlisted in the militia around 1776-77 and served as a Lieutenant under Captain Adam Crain Jones and Colonel Robert Anderson (for whom Anderson County, SC was named.) In 1782 he was appointed Captain and served at the Siege of Ninety-Six and the Battle of Kettle Creek in Wilkes County, GA on Feb. 14, 1779 during the Revolutionary War. This battle enabled the revolutionists to halt the British advance in Georgia after the capture of Savannah. According
to Samuel’s great-grandson James Oliver Rosamond, Samuel served as a scout and spy under the direction of Colonel Francis Mariion, the “Swamp Fox”.
“Samuel and James ROSAMOND both served in the SC militia during the Revolution. Samuel was a lieutenant under Adam Crain Jones and as a captain under Colonel Anderson.”
James Rosamond M. Born ca 1754 in Augusta County, Virginia. James died in Abbeville District, SC bef 10 Jul 1806, he was 52. Occupation: Farmer.
[11]James served in the Revolutionary War in the Ninety-Six District before and after the fall of Charleston. The Siege of Charleston occurrend in 1790 by the British Army led by Sir Henry Clinton. James furnished 150 lbs. of pork to the militia in 1782. He obtained land grants as a result of his service in the war. An abstract of his service in the Revolutionary War is on file at the Historical Commission in South Carolina.
James may have been married to a Dorothy/Norah Hodges (daughter or John Hodges and Elizabeth ?) prior to marrying Mary Daugherty. No one has been able to fine any record of this. Barbara Morgan lists a Lettice Jones as a possibility for James’ first wife. Much depends on when his first wife died, and the date he married Mary.
In the first national census in 1790, James, his brother Samuel, and his mother Sarah were the only Rosamond Heads of Household listed in South Carolina.

Col. Lemuel Benton and Capt. Samuel Rosamond
Posted on September 13, 2013by Royal Rosamond Press
My kindred, Samuel Rosamond, Lemuel Benton, and Gavin Witherspoon, fought under the Francis Marion ‘The Swamp Fox’ in the War of Independence. John Witherspoon is a Signer and is kin to the Preston family, as are the three Patriots above. These four men are kindred to the Stewart family, and thus William and Harry Windsor. Add to this roster, the Hart and Hull family, then here is America’s most illustrious and Patriotic Family.
http://www.carolana.com/SC/Revolution/patriot_military_sc_captains.htm
He sent Lt. Col. Lemuel Benton with sixteen men to seize the pass over Horse Creek. Horry’s men stumbled over a sentry who fired a shot, and they quickly rushed Sumter’s home with Col. Marion’s remaining 134 men closely behind them. In a brief fight, they killed or captured 22 British Regulars and two Loyalists. One of the Continental prisoners, Capt. Perry Benson of the 5th MD Regiment, was wounded as well.

Terry Lipscomb, “South Carolina Revolutionary Battles – Part Ten (MS H-2-2)”, unpublished, p.29:
Benton personally led his troops in a second skirmish higher up on Black Creek, which is believed to be the Battle of Williamson’s Bridge mentioned in local tradition; this corresponds to the present bridge on state secondary road 35 in Darlington County, four miles southeast of Darlington.
Alexander Gregg, D.D., History of the Old Cheraws, Richardson And Company, 1867, pp.387,
Another skirmish took place about this time, higher up on Black Creek, Colonel Benton commanding. The Tories were routed and fled, but being overtaken and surrounded, were forced to make a hand to hand fight, suffering very severely. Colonel Benton had no fire arms except his pistols. One man, pressed by the colonel, turned about, and was in the act of firing his musket, but, before he could do so, Benton discharged his pistol at him, missing him, however, then threw it at him and knocked him from his horse to the ground.

Terry Lipscomb, “South Carolina Revolutionary Battles – Part Ten (MS H-2-2)”, unpublished, p.29:
Benton personally led his troops in a second skirmish higher up on Black Creek, which is believed to be the Battle of Williamson’s Bridge mentioned in local tradition; this corresponds to the present bridge on state secondary road 35 in Darlington County, four miles southeast of Darlington.
Alexander Gregg, D.D., History of the Old Cheraws, Richardson And Company, 1867, pp.387,
Another skirmish took place about this time, higher up on Black Creek, Colonel Benton commanding. The Tories were routed and fled, but being overtaken and surrounded, were forced to make a hand to hand fight, suffering very severely. Colonel Benton had no fire arms except his pistols. One man, pressed by the colonel, turned about, and was in the act of firing his musket, but, before he could do so, Benton discharged his pistol at him, missing him, however, then threw it at him and knocked him from his horse to the ground.
JP:
Black Creek Skirmishes 1 & 2 seem to have taken place in the last half 1781 or early 1782
of Granville County, North Carolina As a young man he moved to the Pee Dee section of Cheraw District, South Carolina. In 1789, he was granted 1,940 acres in Cheraw where he established his plantation, Stony Hill. Later he received grants for 659 acres at the fork of Saltketcher River in Colleton county and 89 acres on the Great Pee Dee River in Darlington District, South Carolina. [2, 6]
MILI
He was commander of Pee Dee Reg’t., Francis Marion Brigade His first public service was in the militia during the American Revolution. He was commissioned a lieutenant (1775-1776), served as a captain (1776) and a major (1777), and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in command of the Cheraw militia (1781-1782). His regiment was allied with Francis Marion’s Brigade from 1781 until the end of the war, and his unit often confronted Tories in Black Creek skirmishes. After Yorktown, he continued to serve as colonel of the Cheraw Regiment until 1794 when he resigned his commission due to the appointment of Tristram Thomas as brigadier general of the Cheraw Brigade. [2, 6]
Occupation
1st member of Congress (1790’s) elected from Upper Pee Dee; planter; sheriff of Cheraw District (1789, 1791); Darlington County court judge (1785, 1791), and commissioner, to superintend the opening of navigation of the Great Pee Dee River (1805) [2, 7]

Even though he was a Continental officer Marion had been elected
to the South Carolina General Assembly as the senator for the Parish
of St. John Berkeley. He left Horry in charge of his brigade while he
was at the general assembly in Jacksonboro. Hezekiah Maham still
considered his unit totally independent and would only take orders
from General Greene, not Peter Horry.
On the advice of Marion, Horry moved the brigade to Wambaw
Creek near the Santee River. The forage was more available there
and it had better protection from the British troops.
Colonel Benjamin Thompson, a Loyalist from Massachusetts,
learned that Marion was at the general assembly and that there was a
breakdown in communications between Marion’s two colonels.
Thompson decided to attack the partisans while their guard was
down.
Thompson had put together a cavalry force that consisted of all the
mounted units in Charlestown. He wrote that “the principal objects of
the expedition were to practice the Cavalry in marching in Regular
order in the Enemy’s Country, and to accustom them to act with the
mounted militia, who will be very useful in covering our flanks.
They are all armed with rifles as well as Swords, and are perhaps the
best marksmen in the world for shooting on horse back.”
Horry was on the other side of the Santee River visiting his
plantation and had left Colonel Archibald McDonald in command
while he was gone. Marion had told Horry that if he had to absent
himself for any reason the command should go to Maham, however
Maham was with Marion at the assembly.
On the morning of February 24th Colonel Thompson set out from
Daniel’s Island and rode towards Marion’s camp. Colonel Lemuel
Benton held a position at Durant’s Plantation. Benton’s men
33
Patrick O’Kelley
consisted of two regiments of “six month’s men” and were made up
of “reformed Tories.” These men had come in under Governor
Rutledge’s amnesty proposal.
Major William Benison commanded the scouts in St. Thomas’s
and told Benton that the British were approaching his position.
Benison proceeded to Colonel McDonald’s headquarters and also told
him of the approaching enemy. Many of the officers there were
eating dinner and most of the Patriot officers did not believe that the
British were going to attack.
Colonel Benton was one of the few who did believe the reports
and rode to Durant’s plantation only to encounter the advance of
Thompson’s army. Major John Doyle did not wait for the rest of the
cavalry force to arrive and charged Marion’s men at Wambaw Bridge.
Major William Young wounded Benton as he was about to cut down
Lieutenant Simon Jones, Thompson’s adjutant. Benton’s dragoons
fled and raced across the Wambaw Bridge.
The stress was too much for the old bridge and it broke under the
weight of men and horses. Many of Benton’s men tried swimming
across and a few drowned. The men who had not fled across the
bridge hid themselves in thickets. This saved them from capture and
death because the British were giving no quarter. Major James had
two British dragoons try to cut him down, but he kept them at a
distance with his pistols. He leapt the twenty foot chasm in the bridge
and rode to safety.
The rest of Marion’s Brigade fell back to Mrs. Tydiman’s
Plantation in between Echaw and Wambaw. Thompson continued to
raid the countryside and was able to capture and parole Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney.25
Beaufort, South Carolina Skirmish
24 February 1782
Colonel Robert Barnwell and his St. Helena Volunteer Militia
Company attempted to cross the Savannah River at Beaufort to burn
the British stores in Georgia. He was attacked by the Beaufort

I Am Not A Three Percenter
“Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me;
“Here he lies where he longed to be,
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.”
I am thinking of declaring myself the Three Percenter Representative of Lane County. I do so because I can according to the rules, and, I do so because I believe our Democracy has failed due to U.S. Citizens subverting my Nation because they hated the election of a black man – President of the United States. This is contrary to the statement made by 3Centers. I want to give a c0ntrary opinion.
This ongoing hatred encouraged President Trump to invite a foreign power to help him get elected. To seal the deal with Putin and Russia, Trump offered to hand over an American Citizen to Putin for trial in a foreign land. Yesterday, Trump bid a foreign leader to punish two elected Congresswomen by banning them from his nation, that also claims it is a Democracy. I sincerely doubt it.
Most Christians know the story of Barabas. When the Jews were given a choice of freeing Barabas, or Jesus, they chose Barabas. The Jews could have saved the life of their Messisah, but did not. However, this outrage turned out good – because Jesus was supposed to die for our sins. Ah-hah! We are now without sin, and, our hatred of Jews has changed recently, thanks to the teaching of John Darby, who taught that evangelicals need the Jews to save them during the End Time Tribulation. Wow! Why do we need a secular government to make – anything right!
Look how powerful Christians have made the Jews – and they hate Jesus. They spit on Christians in the Holy Land because they understand they are just pawns in the crazy games Christians play. Then these nuts claim they fouded this Democray, and their games got even more convoluted – and insane! Then they took over the Repblican Party and founded the Tea Party to help sort it all out!
“Putin. If youre listening………”
Nietzches said; ‘There was only one true Christian – and the crucified him!” Jesus taught acceptance of new religious ideas and teaching – that Saul hated! St.Paul hunted down members of Jesus’ church, and tortured them to their death – with the approval of Jewish leaders. These are fellow Jews, like the Jews who cried “Give us Barabas!” Had they changed their minds via religious persuasion? Where is religious tolerance in this marass? Well, as of yesterday, Chritiandom, and Judaism – is still wating for that idea to come!
POTUS believes he has acquired the Wisdom of Solomon since he took office. His religious handlers have convinced him he is King David and the Messiah of the Jews. To fulfil the religious expectations of his followers, our National Wise Man held up two American women who were elected to serve their Country.
“Who shall I spare, these two socialist democrat Islamic haters of Jews, or, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is in danger of not being elected due to the evil Socialist Liberal Jews that dwell in Jesus Land? I hope you make the right choice – and vote for me!”
This is an outrageous Campaign Stunt that Trump pressured a foreign leader to get involved in. This is proof to me, Trump will employ any foreign power to get himself, and his ilk, back in the White House. There is no greater insult to the American People, and the Jewish People, that says WE CAN BE TRICKED! WE MUST BE DECIEVED! WE CAN NOT BE TRUSTUED TO MAKE THE RIGHT DEMOCRATIC CHOICE.
When I began to look at my family tree back in 1999, I was dismayed to learn about my Rosamond People on my mother’s side. They owned plantations down in South Carolnia, and they owned human beings. What was truly shocking, was reading the Will of Captain Samuel Rosamond (Roseman) who fought alongside The Swamp Fox – as a Patriot! He left human beings to his children, who now owned their father’s slaves. I still have trouble grasping this – and owning it! I have put myself in Rosamond’s death bed doing an inventory;
“Hmm! Let me see. What son of mine has been most loyal to me? Which one would be most grateful to be a slave owner? I want a worthy Heir!””
This is – BIBLICAL! This is no convoluted bullshit practiced by a bunch of beer-drunk Bubbas at the NASCAR track. My sister, Christine Rosamond Presco, married Garth Benton, thus John Fremont who married Jessie Benton, is in our family tree. John was the first to Emancipate slaves, and ran for President as the first Republican candidate. He prepared the way for Lincoln! Most of the world’s history is wrapped up in the last paragraphs. How do we humans do it? We fight hard to take slaves. Then we fight even harder to free them!
And look at this guy! John ‘The Highwayman’ Rosamond. John was a convicted criminal and was sold into slavery and – sent to the British Colony!
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive
“In 1717 Parliament passed an act empowering courts to sentence offenders directly to transportation. Persons convicted of clergyable felonies or petty larceny could now be sent to American plantations for seven years instead of being whipped or burnt on the hand. This meant that a large portion of England’s offenders were eligible to be shipped abroad and sold as servants for seven-year terms. Felons convicted of capital crimes could, with royal consent, be commuted to a term of fourteen years’ transportation or, in some cases, life. Anyone who returned before her or his term expired or who helped a convict to escape was liable to be hanged.
Jonathan Forward, a young London merchant with extensive contacts in Maryland, obtained a lucrative subsidy of three pounds for every Newgate felon and five pounds for every convict taken from the provinces. In exchange, he agreed to ship any and all criminals sentenced to transportation, and to pay all costs, including gaol fees, for their conveyance. Forward was experienced in the African slave trade and had recently shipped two vessels with 171 convicts to Maryland. Operating out of his Cheapside house on Fenchurch Street, London, he collaborated with Jonathan Wild, who helped to provide “felons” for shipment abroad.”
When the Rosamond family lost their plantations in Mississippi, in the town Oprah Winfrey was born, they got in covered wagons and moved to Texas. I assume they were not happy about how things turned out DUE TO A DEMOCRATIC VOTE. We the People of the United States of America had abolished slavery. I have to look to see if any Rosamond family member wore the uniform of the Confederacy. I know our cousins, the Hodges took up arms against the Union.
Grandma Canzada killed wild turkey, and William Rosamond, climbing in a tree to get a good shot at a Couger – with the last bullet. Did they eat the meat? There was no welfare office close by, or laundrymat. A million Survivalists with guns got the same bad idea, that they will go into the woods when the End Time comes, and shoot game – till kingdom come! How much game is left in the woods? Their End Time ministers teach them to Hate Liberal Ecologists. How smart it that?
Sometimes you got to live with the bad choices others make – even at the polls! Get it? This is why the Story of the Rosamond Family is so vital to the Story of America. Most of the time you got to take responbility for the bad choices – you make! You got to to put down your holy voo-doo dolls – and buck up! You steal some shoes, and you are put on a ship sailing for America – wearing chains! Seventy percent of the first white men in America came here as indentured slaves! Today, because of voting booths, you can’t leave black folks to your kindred anymore. You no longer have a choice.
I have been in touch with the University of Arkansas about leaving them my grandfather’s books when I die. I was told by the head libraian there is a great interest in these kind of books, due to the New Back to the Earth Movement. I suspect there are a lot of End Timers who want to emerge from their Doomsday Bunkers, and start America – all over again! Well, you’re reading a part of the real blueprint.
There are enough haters and killers in the world, and almost all of them carry, or, own a gun! Grandma Rosamond was glad her husband, the Sheriff, did not live long enough to see Yates blow her arm off with a shotgun! Or did he? Sometimes you got to shoot at the real bad guys – with intent to kill. I suspect the Appalachian Hunters killed a lot of Germans during both wars. They were crack shots. They were Scots-Irish for the most part, and they did most of the figihting and killing in our War of Indipedance. What you don’t read about, is the hatred the Colonists had for the British, because when you are a winner, you don’t have to stir up anymore hatred. You can show respect for your enemy!
What the two leaders of two democracies did to two U.S. Citizens, is accuse them of being HATERS. Did a judge rule this was the case? How many REAL HATERS have stood trial FOR REALLY HATING? What is so impossible here, is, that President Benjamin Nentanyahu, and President Donald Trump – DON’T BELIEVE THESE WOMEN ARE HATERS! They only prentended they were haters – to garnish votes! Outrageous!
This is a great insult for both the Citizens of Israel and the United States, because we spend hundreds of hours tying to locate THE REAL ISSUES under a mound of UTTER BULSHIT so we can vote our conscience, and feel good about ourselves and THE CHOCES WE MADE! This does not feel good at all. And the people of the world are just beginning to fathom why. The story of Ann Frank comes to mind and the arbitrary punishment of the Dutch People – who Hitler could not trust to swallow all of his Master Plan. Did the Dutch have their hunting rifles confiscated?
Of all the WW2 footage I have seen, the look on the faces of American Soldiers liberating the Dutch people, stands out. These are white people starving to death. Some of these Liberators were Mountain Men who owned Coon Dogs and Blue Ticks, thus they rarely came home empty handed. These Scot-Irish had to accept the truth the Nazis were white, and, white people can do horrific things to other white folk.
My vision for the first Three Percenter Gathering in Lane County will take place in Wayne Morse Square. Basically it will be a gathering of Cat Lovers. You can bring your cat, or, pictures of a cat you lost, and you would be wanting to share your grief. You can share pictures of the gun/guns you own. No dogs – yet!
But, what we will be sharing, the most, is God and Jesus’ foremost commandment.
“Love one another!”
Even “Love thy enemy as thyself.”
I will bring a photo of Omar, and ask;
“Whom among you hate this Congressperson?”
We the People gave our President the Right to Pardon convicted prisoners who were tried by their peers. We the People did not give our President the right to condemn any citizen without a trial. Our President is not calm under fire. In a political panic he throws two women to the dogs.
I would never go hunting with this hateful man, or climb a tree to shoot a panther we chased we chased out on a limb. I DO NOT TRUST HIM! He might turn his gun on me, after mistaking me as game, or…………The Enemy of Israel. How about, the hater of Putin, and a member of the Free Press? This crazy man doesn’t know who his enemy is!
The Don might be the first President who does not own a dog – or a cat! Why? A pet might take away some of the attention this oppressive person is addicted to. This is a bad sign. For, there is one thing you can learn from your good dog – loyalty! Our President knows nothing about loyalty. He held up two loyal citizens of the United States – and stabbed them in the back for the amusement of a foreign leader. Then these two claim they are loyal to one another! Bullshit!
What really gets ne, Trump did this evil thing in order to keep the loyalty of a millions of Christians! Why does Trump believe they are loyal to him? Hardly a one has used the Voice this Democracy gave to all it’s citizens – to say they had enough! Of course he is going to betray again! He’s a Serial Liar and Betrayer! What does any good Christian see in him? Why is he – their messenger!
“Give us Barabbas!”
Israel’s interior minister tore into U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Friday for abruptly canceling plans to visit family in the West Bank after the government granted permission for the trip in a bid to smooth over a diplomatic firestorm.
“Apparently her hate for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother,” Aryeh Deri tweeted.
What a cowardly thing to say! But, using the word “coward” is too good for men like this because it denotes you are a warrior who lost his courage. This is slimily politician is made in Israel, where much Biblical history was made. Shortly after you get into Genesis – it begins – the holy knife fight! If the shoe fits, wear it. Check these holy loons out, who can be accused of loving Israel, or God, or whatever – too much! Boy, would these righteous ones like to get their Man Saliva on Omar!
Wake up folks! Surely Jesus, and God, gave numerous lessons on how to be loyal, why be loyal, and to whom! Running around like a chicken with your head cut off, holding up one alleged enemy after another, will not do. At my Three Percenter meetings we will discuss LOYALTY. Our guns will be silent. Guns are loyal to all, and no one. Did Jesus ever say;
‘Be loyal to your country!”?
Nay, after going where no man has gone, before, unarmed into the far horizon, he said this, and as yet there were not a billion people to believe him……
