Black History Month In Belmont

White People Hating White People. The Story of Racsim

After Ed Howard and I became friends on Facebook, he asked to join other groups I moderated. Then he found my new Belmont History Society group, and, he saw the Stuttemiest tomb in Berlin. Ed is a fund-raiser for his Black History origination, and he wa on me about putting his touch with my Belmont folks.

SURE! WHY NOT?

But let me test the waters. We understood the ironic, iconic contrast. I was cool, bu, are these rich folks a friend of the Negro.

HANDS ACROSS THE BAY WATER

Several months ago my nephew told me my borhter “hate my gust and has no respect for me!” Thus is because I did not amount to anything – and we have the same genetic make-up. This renders me more hated than black people, because they are tribal, and not into

SUPERIOR INDIVIUALISTIC WHITE ACHIEVEMENT

This is why Mark Presco – a great grandson of Carl Janke – did not tell me our father is dead, and, our mother is dying. Janke’s offscpring diapeared five years ago, and may be dead, but his family….

IS TOO INFERIOR TO KNOW HE IS DEAD – AND GRIEVE FOR HIM

When I was grieving for the loss of my family , I considered suicide, wihtout a body being found. I would dig a hole in the woods and damn the dirt up with logs, that would be held open with a rope, that I put a burning candle to.

I have stroing suspeiciins that Denny Lawhern read my posts below that were POSTED IN 2011, three years before McCarthy published her history of Belmont. Did she fined them, too? Did both conmsider my copyright? My brother’s racists rants, follow. Mark called me a parasite several times. Did he see me as a SUPPLANTER? Is Denny Lawhern a JACOB”

Here is the amazing true story of Bunny Bredkngieses ancesot flee the United States to Cuba – after he was declateda tritoe. The Confederacy was…….A JACOB! They saw the North as a Bad Brother who was incomtion with the Souther Brother – because White Folk are like that. Taking away the Black Slaves of the Good Souther Brother, was aimed at HURTING SOUTHERT GOD-MAN. The North dcould care less about black folk. They just pretend they do.

This study is, how did my ancestor get from that maginficent monument in Berlin, to this Evil Mass Grave, that is four feet from THE GUTTER, and ten feet from……THE FREEWAY! Someone took a vidow of OUR GRAVE and you could hardly hear him speak above the sund of the freeway.

Here is Christine Rosamond Benton’s paining of out black maid, and her sisters. I deem someone to go to the BHS Facebook and see if any of my posts are there. They may be tricking me, and, are blocking me from the Citiznes of Belmont.

To be continued

In the Bible, Jacob’s name (Hebrew yaaqob) literally means “grasps the heel” or “supplanter,” signifying one who follows at the heel, deceives, or takes the place of another. Born holding his twin brother Esau’s heel, Jacob lived up to this name by maneuvering to obtain Esau’s birthright for stew and tricking their father, Isaac, into giving him the blessing. 

It is 8:33 A.M. May 27, 2023 – and I am still in shock having discovered my grandparents are buried in the same grave! I saw TWO flags put on one gravestone. That was a half hour ago. THEN – I see another flag! There are three of my ancestors buried in the same grave! WHY? Did the caretakers conclude this was a very poor family? William Stuttmeister knew they were Belmont before he died. At great expense to himself, he moved the Jankes to Colma after they were evicted from the Odd Fellow cemetery – at great expense! This was a wealthy pioneer family whose graves keep being defiled! They were moved to the Union cemetery i 1972?

Below is a video I made after I met with LDS Sisters who wanted to meet at the genealogy center to look at these illustrious people who have a magnificent crypt in Berlin. I don’t know if I told them I was considering putting Amanda Gorman in my painting of the two pages saving our electoral votes.

I have told people who were close to me, that my family did not tell me my mother was dying, and I missed saying goodbye to her by eighteen hours. I also told these people I was not told my father had died. I found out three years later by a kindred doing our genealogy. It took me seven years to find out where Rosemary Rosamond was buried. Here is her grave, located in a military cemetery in San Francisco. My mother served in the Waves up in Seattle, spying on the Russians. She shared some secrets, and gave her older children warnings about the Cold War. This Rose of the World, was brilliant. She did hear me say I might have two children, just before she died. She would be amazed at the history I have uncovered. She would have gone into shock if she had seen the Stuttmeister tombs.

I will be contacting ‘Finding Your Roots’ that airs on OPB, to help me with the most astounding genealogical stories of all time. I posted on the Belmont Historical Society Facebook, and after three days did not get a response. I wondered if members were combing through my blog, cherry-picking what THEY CAN USE, then, hope I go away in frustration. Three days was enough time. I got a smart phone two years ago and I get pinged with the posting of everything on Facebook. Was this system in place three years ago. When a administrator responded, I was never asked to become a member. Genealogy is the No. 1 pastime in the world. Did I do something wrong? Did someone rule I was not their kind of people?

Yesterday I did the genealogy of my kin, Adelia Janke who contributed to a previous author who wrote some of the history of Belmont. Her grandmother, Elizabeth Dorothy Janke, came around the Horn – when she was four years old – in 1848-49. How come we don’t read her history, she proclaimed the youngest Forty-Niner? I wondered if the Belmont historians were hiding something. When I read Carl and Dorothy were dug up in the middle of the night – because folks wanted to build atop their graves – I wondered if I could reclaim that FAMILY LAND. I found a lot of my kin I did not know I had, They ived in Belmont, San Carlos and SF.

I then posted on Senator Kamala Harris, born in Oakland. I made plans with Ed Howard’s brother to drive me to the naval cemetery to see my parents graves for the first time. I was going to see Ed’s film on Oakland history. I use the term AWAKEN in my prophetic post on Putin. I might be the inventor of WOKE. It appears the Belmont Historians – hated WOKE before they learned it was a term.

All my kin buried in my family crypt, were dug up and evicted from the Oddfellows cemetery. They were doing WOKE on the Confederate Traitors, while singing their song they probably sang in Twin Pines Park where they shot their Germania Rifles. There’s a good chance I am kin to some of the children standing at the base of The Great Oak Tree!

“Buchanan says he was “startled to read” recently that among the World Council of Families’ “‘ten best trends’ in the world in 2013, number one was ‘Russia Emerges as Pro-Family Leader.’”

“While the other super-powers march to a pagan world-view,” Buchanan quotes the WCF’s Allan Carlson, “Russia is defending Judeo-Christian values. During the Soviet era, Western communists flocked to Moscow. This year, World Congress of Families VII will be held in Moscow, Sept. 10-12.”

“Will Vladimir Putin give the keynote?” asks Buchanan.

Harris served as the junior U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021; she defeated Loretta Sanchez in the 2016 Senate election to become the second African-American woman and the first South Asian American to serve in the U.S. Senate

Kamala Harris has made history as the first female, first black and first Asian-American US vice-president.

She was sworn in just before Joe Biden took the oath of office to become the 46th US president.

Ms Harris, who is of Indian-Jamaican heritage, initially ran for the Democratic nomination.

But Mr Biden won the race and chose Ms Harris as his running mate, describing her as “a fearless fighter for the little guy”.

The source said she had always been planning to leave the building at that time. And associates of Harris, who has faced many personal threats against her over her career, said she has a history of declining to share her whereabouts when asked, often citing safety concerns.

Belmont A Capitol of German Culture

Posted on August 8, 2022 by Royal Rosamond Press

I posted much history about my German Ancestors on the Facebook of the Belmont Historical Society, and got no response after three days. I then posted on the Marin Cadettes and the Black Panthers. I suggested a Militia be formed around Vice President Kamala Harris, who was born in Oakland where Jack London grew up. My reasoning was, that from the Janke family of Belmont sprang MY FAMOUS FAMILY HISTORY including our marriage into the Benton-Fremont family, and the Getty-Fleming family.

Greg Presco I set out to get funding for the first time. The Awake Ones have got to invent a real way to fund. I have been preparing the way for Kamala for two years.

Here is the come-on. The City of Belmont offers free membership to THE Belmont Historical Society IF POTENTIAL BUYERS ATTEND the book signing ceremony for the book CYNTHIA KARPA McCARTHY wrote 2014. Why didn’t the city, the society, and Cynthia, get on google to see if anyone had copyrighted some of this history – before they singed off on it, gave their signature and O.K.? I have every reason to suspect they went into my archives via the search, and found my copyrighted material. THEY knew what was going on, and kept me in the dark. Then THEY threatened me and GASLIGHTED me. Never in the annals of History Keeping, has such an outrage occurred. I am actively seeking an attorney. I have a right to affix my name to my family history and have it publicly displayed with other history pertinent to my family. How did McCarthy come to own – MY HISTORY? Who sold it to her?

Here is Cynthia saying my family history is not – that important. Then she says there is no competition – after I sensed there was. Finally, she mentions a copyright which causes me to google her, and discover she wrote a book on Belmont that THE CITY helped promote.

“We are related to historic people somewhere.

Belmont Historical Society, Belmont, CA sent Today at 9:39 AM

There’s no competition, for Pete’s sake.

Belmont Historical Society, Belmont, CA sent Today at 9:39 AM

Maybe your friend the editor can explain copyright to you.

I just sent this to the City Council”

As of 3-23-21 I can no longer post on your Belmont History site. I want to make you aware I copyrighted the name Carl Janke and his history with my kin, the Stuttmeisters, in 2012, two years before McCarthy published her history of Belmont. I found an advertisement for my copyrighted material and family history on a Belmont City site, where if one comes to the book signing of McCarthy’s book, they get free membership in the Belmont Historical Society – that gave me a very hard time when I posted my history there – it all taken down. Has the City of Belmont captured my copyrighted history, or, are they just helping Cynthia McCarthy sell it?

Honoring Germans Who Fought For Freedom

Posted on May 31, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press

I was going to send an e-mail to a woman at the San Mateo Historical Society, but then found this article on the monument Germany is considering of an American Veteran, Carl Schurz. I was going to point out the remains of my Janke grandparents being dug up and moved to the Union Cemetery in the middle of the night. If I had received anything that resembled a civil greeting from any member of Belmont Historical Society, I might have visited the Union Cemetery this very day – that Nikki Haley called our VP “unprofessional and unfit” . I suspect I was snubbed by the BHS because I posted some Oakland History of Kamala Harris. Politics makes up a huge chunk of our history. I just posted on my Patriot Rosamond Family who owned slaves in South Carolina where Haley got votes. I wrote Ursula von der Leyen about this matter – which is a huge world concern – and can not be constricted by teeny tiny prejudiced members of the BHS.I am done with the Lilliputians!

I believe that is a image of William Janke taken in Twin Pines Park. His daughter, Augustus Janke, married William Stuttmeister. He moved our family to Cypress Lawn after our graves were dug up and evicted from the Odd Fellows cemetery. That is the Stuttmeister monument in Berlin with a replica of a famous statue of Jesus.

The California FusileersPosted on May 7, 2021 by Royal Rosamond PressMy ancestors were wealthy Prussians. Were they investors in Prussia’s attempt to purchase California, that did not happen possibly due to the Revolutions of 1848? Did some Germans realize California could be had by a intensive migration? The six million dollars could be used to buy portable homes, and other necessities. The chances Count Cipriani purchased a portable home from Carl Janke, is high. Unless he brought one in his wagon train.The Jankes were members of the California Fusiliers. Did they have any contact with my kin, John Fremont, who was talked out of founding a new nation in the West during the Civil War. Consider the Manifest Destiny propaganda of his father-in-law and John Astor, who paid Washington Irving to author a propaganda novel that clamed the right of Americans to take the Oregon Territory – from BRITISH ROYALS. Astor launched a financial conquest of China – that could be the model for China today! If they take over Central America, will they manufacture Chinese cocaine after exterminating the criminal cartel and all gangs south of the border? Texans would be – pleased as punch! As long as China does not take away their right not to wear masks – or their guns! What about – their God? China could get its powerful think tank to invent a Cocaine Jesus for anti-Democratic cult followers, who will honor the day the Democrats cheated them our of their birth right with fake elections. To the Chinese, we look like members of a superstitious Cargo Cult, we easy pickens when it comes to….Divide and Conquer. Our tribal system is open to covert bribes, pitting one tribe against another tribe.John Presco ‘Author of The Royal Janitor’California Fusileers (militarymuseum.org)

The ‘German Rifles’

Pictured below are water color sketches by Private Henry Berckhoff of the 8th New York “German Rifles” May 27, 1861 to May 23, 1863. The Eighth New York participated in several significant battles, including the Second Battle of Bull Run (Second Manassas). There were 524,509 total known deaths in the Civil War: 359,528 Union and 164,981 Confederate.

Henry Berckhoff was a twenty-year-old young man when he enlisted as a Union soldier during the war. He became a private in the Eighth New York Volunteer Infantry, Company B, which was also known as the First German Rifles and was composed of approximately 1,000 German immigrants. Berckhoff sketched pictures he later colored and bound together. When The Eighth New York’s term expired in April 1863, Berckhoff then served with Company A of the Fifth New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry until the end of the war. He continued to serve in the military until his retirement in February 1894. These drawings represent the early years of Berckhoff’s military career.

Under the command of General Louis Blenker, the Eighth New York Volunteers marched off to war in the spring of 1861 to the cheers of German-Americans and other New Yorkers lining Broadway. They were unique among volunteer regiments in that they had an artillery unit plus a medical detachment with ambulances. The soldiers had two uniforms: a regular blue uniform and a distinctive gray dress uniform. Their park-like Washington, D.C. camp, with the soldiers’ tents in orderly rows separated by tree lined lanes between each division’s regiment, was actually a tourist attraction.

1861 newspaper article: “Parade of the New York Twentieth German (Turner Rifles) Regiment”:

This noble regiment, which is composed of German Turners, who are most proverbial in Faderland for their accuracy in bringing down anything at which they point their rifles, had a parade yesterday through the city without arms. They formed opposite Turtle Bay Park in Forty-third street, where they have been quartered since they became embodied, about half past two o’clock, and started about three for the City Hall Park, by the following route: Down Second avenue to Fortieth street, through Third avenue to Twenty-second street, through Twenty-second street to Sixth avenue, on to Twenty-first street, up Twenty-first street to Broadway and down Broadway to the City Hall, where a large concourse of people had assembled to see them. All along the route the Rifles were encouraged in the most flattering manner.

More than the usual quorum of the German element was observed along the streets where the soldiers passed with firm tread and martial mein, and soft voices, which once rang musical along the gorgeous Rhine, were heard singing out their appreciation of their countrymen. Broadway, always effervescing cauldron of public excitement, bore an appearance which to a looker on at a distance, would undoubtedly appear gay and fascinating but not to one commingling with the crowd of uniformed and uniformed humanity who kept surging on in great excitement, crushing crinolines in all of citizens and demolishing the corns of fastidious gentlemen with tight patent leathers. On arriving in the park the Rifles broke into column, and wheeled out into Tyron row amid the plaudits of those who witnessed their admirable movements. They then took their departure for Turtle Bay Park via the Third and Second avenues. It is due to the Twentieth regiment of German Rifles to say that they are as staunch and compact a body of men as ever your reporter saw. Their officers are a body of men who may be said to hold no mean position in point of military science; and, on the whole, we are confident that the Stars and Stripes will suffer no unrequited indignity in their presence. (End)

The old song “Morgenrot” originally by Friedrich Silcher with lyrics by Wilhelm Hauf was very popular among the German-speaking units in the Civil War.Dieses Lied war oft gesungen bei die Deutsch-sprachigen Kämpfer in dem Amerikianischen Bürgerkrieg.
Morgenrot, Morgenrot,
Leuchtest mir zum frühen Tod?
Bald wird die Trompete blasen,
Dann muß ich mein Leben lassen,
Ich und mancher Kamerad!
Kaum gedacht, kaum gedacht,
Wird der Lust ein End gemacht!
Gestern noch auf stolzen Rossen,
Heute durch die Brust geschossen,
Morgen in das kühle Grab!

Awake Amongst The Liars and Sleepers

Posted on May 5, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press

I have been awake in a nation of sleepers. Trump is a Rich Kid New York Thug who always wanted Hit Men and a motorcycle gang, like Putin.  When you have it all, since birth, what you really want is the Cloak of Invisibility and to be Above The Law.

Here is a repost from April 2014.

Seer Jon

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the second-highest ranking Democrat in the Senate, slammed President Trump for his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being “dazzled” by strongmen around the world.

“This president is totally dazzled by Vladimir Putin, by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, by authoritarian leaders in countries like Brazil,” Durbin said on “Face the Nation” Sunday. “He gets on the phone with them and loses it, gets all googly eyed over their assertions that they have nothing to with what’s going on in Venezuela.”

Transcript: Sen. Dick Durbin on “Face the Nation”

The Illinois Democrat referenced a telephone call between Mr. Trump and his Russian counterpart that lasted more than an hour on Friday. The president, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, discussed special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation “very briefly,” and only in the context that “it’s over” and found no “collusion.”

God and Putin: Pat Buchanan’s startling insight

By Bernie Quigley

“Russia is remaking itself as the leader of the anti-Western world,” says author Masha Gessen, who has written a book on Russian President Vladimir Putin. “But the war to be waged is not with rockets,” writes conservative columnist Pat Buchanan. “It is a cultural, social, moral war where Russia’s role, in Putin’s words, is to ‘prevent movement backward and downward, into chaotic darkness and a return to a primitive state.’”

Buchanan says he was “startled to read” recently that among the World Council of Families’ “‘ten best trends’ in the world in 2013, number one was ‘Russia Emerges as Pro-Family Leader.’”

“While the other super-powers march to a pagan world-view,” Buchanan quotes the WCF’s Allan Carlson, “Russia is defending Judeo-Christian values. During the Soviet era, Western communists flocked to Moscow. This year, World Congress of Families VII will be held in Moscow, Sept. 10-12.”

“Will Vladimir Putin give the keynote?” asks Buchanan.

It is a stunning possibility. The West, says Buchanan, has capitulated to “a sexual revolution of easy divorce, rampant promiscuity, pornography, homosexuality, feminism, abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, assisted suicide — the displacement of Christian values by Hollywood values.”

“In the new ideological Cold War,” he asks, “whose side is God on now?”

But how much of the decadent “West” which Buchanan well describes actually defines America? Does it, for example, accurately describe the South, Texas, the Lutheran Midwest, Mormon Utah and the Southwest? Vast sweeps would identify with the World Council of Families and shockingly, with Putin and with Christian Russia. Evangelical leader Franklin Graham has recently said as much.

Buchanan’s decadent West suggests instead an evolved and expanded state of Henry James’s novel The Bostonians more than 120 years on now, and the “plain living and high thinking” Miss Birdseye, who James describes as “a confused, entangled, inconsequent, discursive old woman,” and the historical archetype of “Boston reformers consisting of woman’s rights people, mesmerists, spirituality, utopians and faded abolitionists,” as described in C. Vann Woodward’s classic study of the Gilded Age in The Burden of Southern History.

They came to dominance here, there and everywhere, early on under William Lloyd Garrison’s anthem “Our country is the world. Our countrymen all of mankind.” They dominate still, an archaic residue of the northern military victory of the 1860s.

The northeastern families and their law schools and parlors still vastly influence culture and political temperament. They still bring their families even in triplicate to presidential races and incomprehensibly, supply the legal education of virtually every Supreme Court justice on the Supreme Court even today. Virginia, Duke, Michigan, Texas and Vanderbilt are still not good enough after all this time?

What if the country people today, the Baptists in the South, the Methodists in Texas, the Presbyterians, evangelicals and fundamentalists in the hills of Billy Graham’s Appalachia, simply turned away from New England dominance and tradition? Turned instead to an older tradition and an external leader like Putin to find a better path?

Jefferson, Washington and Franklin did as much when they turned to the French to defend against an actual blood relative who had suddenly become an annoyance. But possibly an American contender in 2016 — Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) — would do just as well as Putin.

The politicians, from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), are still stuck in “Munich” since the invasion of Crimea. So is Wall Street. But Russia could shake the world again. And Putin’s Christian Russia will play differently in Dillon, Texas, today where they baptize in the river and watch high school football on Friday nights, than it will in Miss Birdseye’s antiquated, antipodal Boston salon.

A Ukrainian Security Service officer has been killed and five others wounded in the eastern city of Slovyansk, officials from Ukraine’s interim government said Sunday. The casualty comes after Ukraine pledged a “very tough” response to those occupying government buildings.

A pro-Russian group seized police headquarters in Slovyansk Saturday in an operation that followed a similar pattern to events in Donetsk and Luhansk, where activists remain in control of government buildings. Police reportedly stopped forces from occupying buildings in other towns this weekend.

Stuttmeister-Janke Wedding at Ralston Hall

This morning I opened an email from my kin, Murray Oltman, and read the proof of what I have been saying for over ten years, being, Augusta Stuttmeister, the beloved wife of William Oltman Stuttmeister, is kin to Carl Arugusta Janke the co-founder, if not sole founder of the City of Belmont California.

William August Janke, native of Hamburg, Germany, born Dec. 25, 1842, died Nov. 22, 1902, son of Carl August & Dorette Catherine Janke.

Carl Janke came to San Francisco in 1848, one year before the Gold Rush. According to an article in the DAR, he brought six portable houses around the Cape and erected them in Belmont for gold miners who had struck it rich. As fate would have it, William Ralston ‘The Man Who Built San Francisco’ and his partner, lived in Belmont in a house that still stands, called Ralston Hall. I believe this is one of Janke’s homes that Coun Leonetto Cipriani purchased, and added on to. This house had 5,000 screws in it according to one (lost) article I read. Another lost article said these homes were manufactured in Mass. then shipped to California. I suspect two of these homes are found on Dolores Street in the Mission. One article said one house was moved a distance from the Tanforan ranch. The name Tanforan may have been the name of the Theme Park that Janke built in Belmont, perhaps the first in California. It also might be Turnverein, the German gymnastic clubs of the Forty-Eighters. There is much evidence the Stuttmeisters were members of the Turner Societies of Free-thinkers.

What is truly astounding, is that Sir Thomas Hesketh married Florence Sharon at Ralston Hall, and Florence Breckenridge married their son. Florence descends from John Witherspoon,and thus is kin to the Jessie Benton Fremont, thus the Presco family, when Christine Rosamond Presco married Garth Benton.

This is truly a Rags to Riches story. Christine and I used to take walks in Piedmont where the Sharon family lived. The Hesketh family are in the Peereage.

Then there is the Oddfellow gathering in Belmont that may have been staged by William Ralston. The Oddfellows were forming a union with the Freemasons and holding Knights Templar titles. Was the Stuttmeister-Janke union a Masonic-Odfellow marriage? If so, my family owns all those legends that Dan Brown gathered into his basket to create a money-making work of fiction.

When my daughter gets married, I will do all that is humanly and divinely possible to see that she ties the night at Ralston Hall, because; “All’s wll, that ends well!”

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.

John Witherspoon BRECKENRIDGE

The great grandmother of John Witherspoon Owen Breckenridge, is the Ann Witherspoon, the daughter of Signer, John Witherspoon. His great grandfather, was John Breckenridge, Attorney General of the United States in the Cabinet of President Thomas Jefferson. I lived with Dottie Witherspoon in Boston, and met many Witherspoons in South Carolina who are kin to the actress, Reese Witherspoon.

I have been exchanging e-mails with a member of the Sharon family about revising the Sharon Family reunion at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. I was invited to go to Europe with a member of the Hesketh-Fermor family, who are kin to my niece, Drew Benton, and thus the Prescos. We are all kin to Lloyd Tevis the President of Welles Fargo Bank.
I have put on pause my homework of family relations. I do know some of the California Sharons and I am familiar with the reunion that use to take place in San Francisco, but I have been swamped. I would love to refresh the reunion for our family. I am not familiar with the names on your email yet. I don’t know if you sent email to Philip or had misplaced my name. I will start more family connections with the Sharon clan soon.

Belmont park has history of sun, libations, mystery and disasters
October 22, 2001, 12:00 AM By Paul D. BuchananDaily Journal Feature Writer
The most popular daytime excursion destination on the Peninsula during the late 19th century once occupied the area in Belmont now known as Twin Pines Park. The Belmont Picnic Grounds proved so popular, in fact, that scores of picnickers would travel regularly from San Jose and San Francisco for sun, fresh air and libations.
The size of the crowds and the fondness for libation, however, eventually led to the attraction’s demise.
According to Belmont Historical Society records, Dorothea and Carl August Janke sailed around Cape Horn from Hamburg, Germany, in 1848. After landing in San Francisco, they settled in Belmont in 1860. Industrious and entrepreneurial, Carl Janke purchased land in the vicinity of 6th and Ralston. Janke set out to create a site for leisure activities, modeled after the biergarten in his native Hamburg. His creation became Belmont Park.
Janke’s park offered all the necessary provisions for an outdoor holiday, which included a dance pavilion to accommodate 300 large glassless windows, a conical roof and a dance floor situated around a large spreading tree. The pavilion was also equipped with a bar, an ice cream parlor and a restaurant.
Outside the pavilion, the park provided a carousel for children, footpath bridges crossing the meandering of creeks, and a shooting gallery, with picnic benches and lathe houses situated about the shady grounds. Brass bands performing from bandstands could be heard all around the woodland.
In 1876, Janke opened Belmont Soda Works, located north of Ralston along Old County Road. Janke’s sons, Gus and Charlie, operated the soda works, which offered a variety of sarsaparillas. Within two years, the Soda Works produced more than 1,000 bottles a month — a large percentage of which would be sold at Belmont Park. Between the Soda Works and the several bars situated in and around the park, the liquid refreshment flowed abundantly.
Belmont Park became so popular that Southern Pacific Railroad began reserving exclusive trains for the sojourn to Belmont. Several local organizations and fraternities used the grounds for the celebrations, such as the Germania Rifles, the Apollo Verein, the Blue Bells, the Bunker Hill Association, the Ignatian Literary Society, the Hibernians and the Purple Violets. Races – foot, three-legged, and pony cart – as well as other amusements became commonplace at the gatherings.
The same year the Belmont Soda Works opened, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) hired 75 Southern Pacific railroad cars to transport 7,000 of its members from San Francisco to Belmont Park. There, 1,000 other members met them there, making the largest picnic ever held at Belmont Park.
With all the alcohol, dancing and overheated bodies gathered in a relatively small place, trouble seemed destined to follow.
In 1880, rival gangs started a small riot at Belmont Park, leaving one person dead and several injured. On another occasion, a young girl named Anne Mooney mysteriously disappeared. Authorities assumed she had been kidnaped, but a suspect was never identified. The fate of Anne Mooney remains a mystery.
By the turn of the century, the weekly treks to Belmont had become something of a nuisance. The drunken tussling would often begin at the on-board bars, continuing and intensifying by the time the passengers reached Belmont. The small communities through which the trains rumbled complained about the outsiders cavorting and otherwise disturbing their peaceful Peninsula neighborhoods. Southern Pacific, tired of the rowdies and the damage inflicted to the railroad cars, finally stopped operating the excursions in 1900.
In her book “Heritage of the Wooded Hills,” Ria Elena MacCrisken writes, “… if the railroad looked down its nose at the San Francisco picnickers, the little town of Belmont welcomed them with open arms. These early-day tourists brought lively times to Belmont and revenue to its stores…” Unfortunately for the Jankes , when the train stopped bringing carloads of revelers, much of Belmont Park’s clientele disappeared.
By 1910, the property had sold to George Center, the director of the Bank of California, who built a home on the property. Later Dr. Norbert Gottbrath opened a sanitarium called “Twin Pines,” which operated until March of 1972. The City of Belmont took over the property, dedicating Twin Pines Park in June of 1973.

Odd Fellowship was established in California in 1849 with the formation of San Francisco Lodge No. 1 in San Francisco. Odd Fellowship spread throughout the state, particularly to the gold rush towns such as Marysville, Rough and Ready, Grass Valley, Whiskey Flat, Hangtown (a.k.a. Placerville), Comptonville, San Juan, Downieville, etc. The Grand Lodge of California was established in 1853, making it the first Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows established on the Pacific. By 1856, the jurisdiction of California consisted of sixty lodges with a membership of more than two thousand four hundred.

Early in the history of California, the two largest fraternal orders, the Odd Fellows and the Freemasons embarked on a unique cooperative project to benefit the State. The two fraternal orders created the first hospital in the new State of California in 1850 following the great flood of the winter of 1849-1850. It was called the Odd Fellows and Masons Hospital, and admitted and cared for any patient regardless of affiliation, making no distinction between members and non-members. All funds for operating the hospital were to be contributed only by the members of the two fraternal organizations.

In 1869, California hosted the Supreme Lodge session in San Francisco (opening September 20, 1869), an event memorable for two reasons: the Supreme Lodge officers became the first organized body to cross the continent to the Pacific by the newly completed transcontinental Rail Road; and the financial panic known as “Black Friday” occurred during the sessions. Delegates traveled free, thanks to the generosity of Templar Lodge No. 17, San Francisco: A Templar Lodge member, William Chapman Ralston (president of the California Bank) underwrote the $10,000 pledged by Templar Lodge. Subsequent to the 1869 session, California was host to Supreme Lodge sessions in 1888, 1904, 1915, 1949, 1960 and 1994. In 1871, Past Grand Master of California Odd Fellows, John F. Morse succeeded in establishing the Order in Germany and Switzerland. For the pleasure of members and their families, the Odd Fellows maintained several outdoor resort areas in California, including the Odd Fellows Beach and Park on the Russian River near Healdsburg, CA

Belmont is a city in San Mateo County, California, United States. It is in the San Francisco Bay Area, located half-way down the San Francisco Peninsula between San Mateo and San Carlos. It was originally part of the Rancho de las Pulgas, for which one of its main roads, the Alameda de las Pulgas, is named. The town was incorporated in 1926. The population was 25,835 at the 2010 census.
Ralston Hall is a historic landmark built by Bank of California founder, William Chapman Ralston, on the campus of Notre Dame de Namur University. It was built around a villa formerly owned by Count Cipriani, an Italian aristocrat. The locally famous “Waterdog Lake” is also located in the foothills and highlands of Belmont.
One of two surviving structures from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition is on Belmont Avenue (the other is the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco). The building was brought to Belmont by E.D. Swift shortly after the exposition closed in 1915. Swift owned a large amount of land in the area.
Carlmont High School and Ralston Middle School are located in Belmont and are both Distinguished California Schools.
Belmont has attracted national attention for a smoking ordinance passed in January 2009 which bans smoking in all businesses and multi-story apartments and condominiums; the ordinance has been described as one of the strictest in the nation.

Ralston Hall Mansion located in Belmont, California, was the country house of William Chapman Ralston, a San Francisco businessman, founder of the Bank of California, and financier of the Comstock Lode. It is an opulent Italianate Villa, modified with touches of Steamboat Gothic and Victorian details. It is a California Registered Landmark and is designated a National Historic Landmark[4]. It is now part of Notre Dame de Namur University.

The mansion
Ralston Hall Mansion is situated on the campus of Notre Dame de Namur University, on the San Francisco Peninsula. The mansion has been built around the villa of Count Leonetto Cipriani, former owner of the Estate. It took three years to build and was completed in 1867, when San Francisco’s leaders and first citizens had large summer homes on the Peninsula and was an integral part of San Francisco high society. Architect John Painter Gaynor, who later worked with Ralston on the Palace Hotel in San Francisco is thought to have worked on it. Several of the design elements of Ralston Hall Mansion were copied in the design of the Palace.
A history of San Francisco speaks of the palatial grandeur of Ralston Hall: “In a domed wing was the oval ballroom. Its walls were mirrored, and from the frescoed ceiling hung a great crystal chandelier whose reflected lights and sparkle filled the room. I have never seen a more effective setting for a ball.”
The Hall is a four-floor, 55,000 square foot (5,000 m²) mansion, with a stately dining room, a mirrored ballroom in the Versailles tradition, an opera box modelled after the Opéra Garnier in Paris, a grand staircase, 23 crystal chandeliers, and in-laid wood floors. Ralston greatly admired the Palace of Versailles and incorporated several of the palace’s elements in his design of the mansion. The mansion has a number of elegant sitting rooms and parlours. The Oriental Music Room has a set of Chinese high-tea chairs and buffets. Ralston Hall houses a collection of antiques accumulated by Ralston, including some valuable Thomas Hill paintings.
The grounds of the mansion contain numerous gardens, a stoney grotto, and a garden of 150-year-old bamboo trees.
Uses of the mansion
After Ralston’s death, the estate passed to his former business partner, United States Senator from Nevada William Sharon, whose family lived in the house. Sharon’s daughter Flora’s wedding to Englishman Sir Thomas George Fermor-Hesketh, 7th Baronet, of Rufford was one of the last elaborate social events of the time, taking place in the mansion’s ballroom. After Senator Sharon’s death in 1885, the mansion became Radcliffe Hall, a girls’ finishing school. From 1900 to 1922 it was the Gardner Sanitarium.
Since 1922, Ralston Hall has been on the campus Notre Dame de Namur University, formerly the College of Notre Dame. It contains the admissions office and is rented out for society weddings and other occasions.
A few of the notable persons who have been entertained at Ralston Hall include:
President Ulysses S. Grant
Admiral David Farragut
Leland Stanford
Mark Hopkins

I’m also trying to find out where Adelaide (Murphy) Breckenridge-Roberts is buried. John Cabell Breckenridge, Sr., born 1879 was her 1st spouse. He was the son of Louise (Tevis) and John Witherspoon “Owen” Breckenridge. Adelaide was living in Cowfold, England in 1954. If there is anything in your information about her I would appreciate hearing of it.

Hello Gareth,

Many thanks for the posting. Since my initial query I have located more information for this line.

I have seen photographs of the home at East Neston that you mentioned. It is very beautiful.

The Breckenridges and the Fermor-Hesketh family lines has been very interesting to research.

Does your information show where Florence Louis (Breckenridge) and Thomas Fermor-Hesketh are buried?

Dear Gloria:
Congrats! You’ve hit the big time. The FERMOR-HESKETHs are a still existing line of the British nobility seated at the FERMOUR ancestral home at Easton Neston, Northamptonshire.

Landmark 67
Tanforan Cottage 1
214 Dolores Street Between 15th and 16th Streets
Mission Dolores
Built 1853
This is one of a pair of redwood cottages built by the Tanforan ranching family on land that lay within the 1836 Mexican Grant to Francisco Guerrero. Located only half a block from Mission Dolores, the oldest building in San Francisco, these two cottages are probably the oldest residential buildings in the Mission District.

Landmark 68
Tanforan Cottage 2
220 Dolores Street Between 15th and 16th Streets
Mission Dolores
Built 1854
The following is quoted from Here Today, San Francisco’s Architectural Heritage by Roger Olmsted and T. H. Watkins, published by Chronicle Books in 1969:
Two very old houses that have maintained their original appearance can be seen side-by-side at 220 and 214 Dolores Street. The “Tanforan Cottages,” so called because members of the family of Toribio Tanforan occupied them from 1896 to 1945, are simple frame structures with modified late Classical Revival facades. Though very nearly identical in appearance, they were not constructed at the same time; 214 Dolores is said to have been built a little before 1853, 220 not long after that date. This dating is questionable, though, as the first substantiated date is 1866, when Revilo Wells, owner of 214, had water piped in. There is still a small carriage house behind 220 Dolores – occupied as late as 1940 by one of the Tanforan carriages. The large gardens of these houses have been well-maintained and contain many specimens of turn-of-the-century San Francisco taste in flora.

Since 1995, Tanforan Cottage 2 has been the Richard M. Cohen Residence, a residential care facility for homeless men and women living with disabling HIV or AIDS. For more information, see Dolores Street Community Services.

Sir Thomas George Fermor-Hesketh, 7th Baronet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
Sir Thomas George Fermor-Hesketh, 7th Baronet (9 May 1849 – 19 April 1924) was a British baronet and soldier.
Born Thomas George Hesketh, he was the second son of Sir Thomas Fermor-Hesketh, 5th Baronet, and Lady Anna Maria Isabella Fermor, daughter of William Fermor, 4th Earl of Pomfret. In 1867 he and his father assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Fermor and in 1876 he succeeded his elder brother as seventh Baronet of Rufford.
Fermor-Hesketh gained the rank of Lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade and was also an Honorary Colonel in the service of the 4th Battalion, Liverpool Regiment of Militia. In 1880, Sir Thomas was instrumental in the rescue at sea off the coast of Mexico of a number of citizens of San Francisco. In recognition of this, he was honoured by the city, and at a party in his honour he came to the attention of the San Francisco heiress Florence Emily Sharon (1858–1924). Florence Emily Sharon was the daughter of the Hon. William Sharon (1812–1885), who had made an enormous fortune in the gold, silver, banking and hotel business in California and Nevada. The first United States Senator from Nevada, Sharon was also the wealthiest man in the state. By the early 1880s, his empire was such that he was the largest single tax payer in California. When he died in 1885, he left the bulk of his estate to his daughter Florence Emily Sharon — and this she brought with her to the marriage. When her brother died, the whole of the Senator’s fortune passed to her. The two were married at the Ralston Hall Mansion of Belmont, California, in 1880, and had two sons.
In 1881 he was appointed high Sheriff of Northamptonshire.
Fermor-Hesketh died on April 19, 1924, aged 74, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Thomas, who in 1935 was elevated to the peerage as Baron Hesketh. Lady Fermor-Hesketh died by falling down the stairs at Euston Hall in September of the same year as her husband.

Mark Presco Is – MISSING!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is christine-benton6.jpg

Capturing Beauty

In July my nephew and I agreed to tell each other if we hear from my brother, Mark Presco. No one has heard from him since Vicki Presco died. Shannon Sidle told me she was in contact with him, and he was dying, and – he was going to disappear himself. I do not know if Shannon was telling me THE TRUTH. My niece says many things that are SUSPECT – for many years! Her cousin offers his expertise in the hightech industry. He guarantees ptotention custommers he WILL solve their problen, I read the tesomony of several happy clients. I will not give the name of my nephew, because Casey Ferrell has refused to give me the name of the guy he texted about, who works for a detective company of some kind, that I will not repeat. Mr. Farrell has changed since we talked on the phone for a year when he was homeless and hanging around on Irving Street, I felt sorry for him. As of this day, I have nothing to do with Casey Ferrell, and deny the validity of any agreements he may claim we made.

Above is the image my nephew has on his page. His aunt ‘Rosamond’ rendered this portrait and titled it ‘Garden Child’. I will contact my nephew and inform him of the idea Mark went to Bullhead City to lay our sister, Victoria Ptesco, to rest. The police report on Drew Benton catalogues the outrageous trouble the Bullhead City Police had in tracking Shamus Dundon down, and talking to him in person. They sent a letter to Shannon, and she never responded. For Casey Farrell to suggest he has come to own a theory about the death of Drew, that he has refused to completely share with me, could make him guilty of interfering with an investigation, and other unsavory, and nefarious – CRIMES! To invite an investigator of some kind to scrutinize me and my family – and refuse to be me his name – IS EVIL!

My nephew said to call him if there is anything he can do, in regards to handling the death of his cousin. Were all the bodies recovered from the Titanic Disaster?

EXTRA! I just found my nephew again. We were communicating and he did not respond to my invitation to have him and his family join me in Belmont to look at our history – after visting the Stuttmeister crypt! This is a great gift to have a family again.

“Good morning, Uncle, I am just seeing this.  I am open to a day trip to do Drew right and pay my respects to any ancestors I have out there.”

Christine’s Birthday

Posted on October 24, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press

Marilyn came over and picked up Christin’s biography. We have been exchanging stories about my later sister. Marilyn has done some sewing for Rosamond who is wearing her Train Dress like the one Debbie Boone has on. M was invited to the opening of the second gallery. Christine gave her two paintings ‘The Song of the Dragon’ and ‘Beach’ that is a painting of my niece, Drew. Her cousin Cian is ‘Garden Child’ and on Christine’s right, is our mother, Rosemary. Rosamond painted her family.

The rival, Sue Hafner family, and her anti-Art Gang made threats in order oppress the gifted children in my family.

Marilyn made the coat the actor, Rick Partlow, is wearing for their wedding. Christine models a Train Dress.

Marilyn at Moonfire Ranch

When Marilyn told me her portfolia got burned up in a fire, I grieved, for she told me within were photographs of her friend, Maggie Thrett. She is posing in the dresses and outfits M made for this actress who was in ‘Mudd’s Women’ a Star Trek eposode.

M had gone to Paris when she was seventeen to study fashoin design. Like the Rosamond Women, she made her own clothes. M&M used to go to parties togethers, and the Reneisance Fair, with their mutual friend, Jane Marie Mandsfield, the daughter of the famous actress who was the other Blonde Hollywood Bobmshell. Mother and daughter both appeared in Playboy magazine that did a centerfold shoot at Moonfire last year.

When I reminded M she has one photo of just her and Jane in it, she asked me;

“Who do you think took the photo?”

I blushed!

When Maggie was invted to the Moonfire Ranch, she got M an invite. At this famous Bohemian house that overlooks the Paccific Ocean, M met McDonald who married Ertha Kitt. He took a liking to Marilyn who made it on the A list. Perhaps it was the modeling she did in this artist’s retreat that was in the movie Mondo Hollywood that starred Jane Mansfield. M said she posed against this mural an artist rendered in a out-of-this world home that Captain Kirk might dwell in on his days off.

Here again is that architectural theme that we find in the Big Sur, and the house designed by for Allan Fox. This is why I was shocked to learn Allan sold that home shortly after Christine drowned, it the kind of home you keep in the family for generations to come. Julie Lynch sold a movie script about Rosamond to the director who did ‘Scent of a Woman’. Will Hollywood be going out to Rocky Point?

At Mooonfire the rich and famous came to partake of the creative ambience and behold other beautiful people. George Harris and Andy Warhol have been guests. Manson and his women did a walk-on.

This Spot of Venus was the best America had to offer, at least on the West Coast. There was a need to say you were there. Here is The Supreme Stage where long white curtain like the hems of giant Greek Angels wave like flags in the ocean breeze. Here the Lost Angels are found keeping their secrets. Here, beautiful souls can have it all, all that was denied since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and unleashed a broadside on the naked native, a bombardment of prudishness, a hatred of pagans and heathens. From these heights, there came a grand

Oly! Oly Ocean. Free!”

Marilyn lived in Latico Canyon up the coast. She and her boyfriend were going to raise Russian Wolf Hounds on a ranch they rented. M would walk on Santa Monica and Venice Beach with her two hounds wearing the scarves and dresses she made. The famous fashion photographer, Steven Silverstein did a shoot of M on Malibu Beach. The movie ‘Harper’ was shot at Moonfire. Consider Pynchon’s book ‘Inherent Vice’ that is being made into a movie. The Manson Murders lurk in the background. Marilyn walks out of a Icart on to the sands of Venice with her hounds, she hot on the trail of the Great Mystery of Life.

When Mary Ann Tharaldsen and I flew down to LA to get married, we slept in Marilyn’s bed. Mary Ann had a aversion to motels and hotels that I assumed was a hangover from her marriage to Thomas Pynchon. M let M wear one of her Train Dresses that was inspired by a pattern that Maggie found, she wanting M to make her a house robe. We got married in Topanga Canyon by a minister who went to Hollywood Boulevard in order to convert lost Hippie street urchins. Bryan MacLean sang ‘Amazing Grace’ at our wedding. He was converted to Christianity by the same minister that converted Bob Dylan.

The biography ‘Forever Changes’ says my friend, Bryan McLean lived at Vito Paulekas’ warehouse and practiced with the band that was once called ‘The Grass Roots’. There is a Laurel Canyon connection. Vito was a sculpture who surrounded himself with wild chicks and nude dancers, some who became the GTOs. Vito is in Mondo Hollywood, as is Lewis Mark, the owner of Moonfire.

In Forever Changes, Arthur Lee talk about the first time they saw Bryan and the Whiskey a Go-Go. He was surrounded by beautiful young women, his followers. It is alleged Arthur invited Bryan to join his band because these girls were Groupies of the Bryds, whom Bryan was a roadie for. But, Bryan was a Chick magnet in High School. He would take me on his rounds, usually on Friday night. He made dates with three girls. When we came thru the door, it was as if he was celebrity. The mothers swooned, and did all they could to get my Bryan to stay. While Bryan is at Vito’s warehouse, Andy Walhol is doing a similar scene in New York.

Cue the Beautiful Gypsy Bandit who with her gang of Bohemian Ragamuffins, the next generation Hippie-chic that tried to hijack this blog, that may contain a Murder Mystery.

Mark Presco On Race

Yesterday the evangelical-right and Rush Limbaugh accused the left of smearing their candidate, Herman Cain in regards to his sexual harassment of women. I suspect it was Denne Sweeny, the neo-Confederate friend of Rick Perry, who dug up the past because they are in shock that the next President of the United States is guaranteed to be another black man, if Cain in nominated!

Here is Mark Presco’s essay on Race. He is in shock that his party of Tax Evaders is run by evangelical nuts acting like the Puppet Master, pulling strings in the dark. This is why all the Republican candidates sound as if they just came from the Tower of Babel. God is not on their side. Mark hates all religion – and art! Above all, he hates parasites getting his meony – any of his money!

Politically Incorrect Iconoclast
This blog is dedicated to breaking down the politically correct conventions on Race, Religion and Gender

On Race

Forward

First let me apologize in advance for the insults that will be heaped upon you all. The politically correct method we have been using is not solving the race problem. It is not my intention to denigrate anyone, but no effort will be made to spare anyone’s feelings, including white people.

I will depart from my usual method and write in the first person because it is a highly subjective story of a white man who has journeyed from being optimistic about race relations to an overt racist. This is because I have come to the inescapable conclusion that everyone is a racist and the only ones that seem to be made to feel guilty about this are white people. Well, no more.

Finally, I have concluded that there is no solution for the race problem at this time. We need a separation, a divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. I shall attempt prove this.

The Basic Dilemma

How do we treat people, as individuals or groups? I believe there is a basic difference between the thinking of white people and the other races on this issue. This will be discussed in detail in the next section.

Since this paper is on race the focus is, by definition, on groups. I will make sweeping generalizations about the various races. You will think up individual exceptions to them. This does not negate them. You need to put forth more correct generalizations.

I maintain that the culture a people create absolutely and totally reflects the content of the character of the people who create it. The differences between the races are far more than skin deep, and those differences are reflected in the cultures they create. I reject all of the politically correct reasons for these differences. It is not a matter of geographical luck, having the right plants, animals or other resources. The ridiculous theories of people like Jared Diamond don’t adequately explain how the cultures became different, and they absolutely don’t explain why so many cultures have remained more or less the same after hundreds of years of globalization.

So what we’re really talking about here is a clash of cultures, but since my theories about culture are race based, I am a racist. I make judgments about people in light of their culture.

White Culture

White men, more than any race, including white women, are highly oriented toward individualism. This is why individual rights and freedoms, and democracies are more prevalent and successful in white cultures. But what makes white cultures work is individual responsibility. Every white man is expected to provide for himself and his family and can expect little help from any other white men. Those who cannot do this have no status in the white community. Oh sure, we work together to build roads and cities and the proverbial barn raisings that are clearly too big for one man to handle. But each white man is expected to create his own wealth.

Almost all other cultures are tribal in nature. By tribal I mean that they are basically extended families, and their economies are based on sharing. All members born into the tribe can expect his or her rightful place in the tribe and fair share of the tribal wealth. In a tribal culture a man gains status by sharing his wealth. The problem is, tribal cultures don’t create wealth. When you are expected to share your wealth you soon lose all incentive to create it.

In a white culture a man gains status by amassing wealth. Because he is expected to create his own wealth he gets to keep it. This provides incentive to create more wealth. This is the reason white cultures are so fabulously wealthy. Yes, Bill Gates got some flak for not doing more for charity but no one expects him to give away his billions. The wealthy people in white culture hold high status.

I submit as proof of this that the poorest white cultures in the world are ex-communist cultures that had a kind of tribalism forced on them by the Bolsheviks. It wasn’t Ronald Regan’s military spending that collapsed the Soviet Union. It collapsed because it was sliding into a third world economy. The new world order was economic power, not military power, and they were losing badly.

The Communists made a fatal error in assuming that if you shared the wealth equitably, everyone would be willing to do their fair share of the work. Not so. Most people, even white people, are lazy useless morons who won’t make an effort if they don’t have to. If they can get their share of the wealth without doing their share of the work, that’s exactly what they’ll do. To be fair, there is another rational reason for this. In any endeavor it is wise to maximize your earnings to effort ratio. It makes no sense to put more of an effort into it than necessary. Since communists could do nothing to increase their earnings, the only thing they could do is decrease their effort. For this reason the Soviet Union stopped creating wealth and some of its satellites are having a hard time restarting.

There is an interesting anecdote about Sitting Bull. He made a bit of money touring with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and signing autographs. He gave most of it away to poor white folks because that is what a man of his stature did in his culture. He couldn’t understand how so many poor white people lived in such a rich country. He was quoted as saying “white people know how to make everything; they just don’t know how to distribute it.” He didn’t understand that white people were expected to create their own wealth.

White cultures are grass roots. They do not emanate top down from governments. All the federal government is in this country is one huge sucking parasite on American businesses and workers. Economies begin in the towns and cities where individuals and groups of individuals create the businesses, jobs and tax base. Observe the way this country was settled by white people. White men would venture into the wilderness seeking their fortune. When a certain level of development was reached white women would follow. It wasn’t until a significant economy was developed that the territory was considered for statehood. These economies were developed without the aid of a state or federal government.

Native-Americans paid a heavy price for this every-man-for-himself culture. Most of the conflicts were caused by Native-Americans getting between a desperately poor white man and his fortune, especially during the California gold rush. But to be fair, white men were just as ruthless to each other in the competition for wealth.

A lot more can be said about the negative side of developing this country to what is today. And white people were not the only ones involved. Blacks and Asians were in the mix.

But I will show that it is white people who made this country the richest most desirable place to live on the planet. A place so desirable that it seems everyone in the world wants a piece of the “American Dream”, in fact they think they have a right to it. This is setting us up for the biggest culture clash this country has seen to date.

The most important purpose of this discussion is to answer three of the most burning questions of our time.

1. Should white people feel guilty about their wealth?
2. Must white people share their wealth?
3. Do white people have the responsibility to provide economic parity to the other races?

As harsh as it sounds the answer to all three is NO!!!

It has been demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that communism, or any other form of wealth sharing, is a formula for poverty for all. Mao starved 30 million Chinese to death in the 1960s.

No human being has the right live at the expense of another. This is the definition of a parasite:
From Dictionay.com:
2. a person who receives support, advantage, or the like, from another or others without giving any useful or proper return, as one who lives on the hospitality of others.

When one race chronically lives and grows its population at the expense of another race that race should be labeled a parasitic race.

Except for rare unforeseen emergency aid, everyone must be held responsible providing for themselves. It’s the only thing that works.

The Civil Rights Movement

The civil rights movement was the beginning of the end of race relations for me, but not for the reasons you might think. I was attending Oakland High in Oakland CA from ’60 to ’63. I did not perceive a race problem then. The racial mix was very close to the country today, majority white, a large black population and well represented with Asians and Latinos.

See: http://www.cagenweb.com/alameda/Pages/Booksetc/63OaklandHigh/OaklandHS63.html

We liked the same music, went to the same dances and had a good time together. I played on the football team so many of my good friends were black. One of my best friends was black. I was very optimistic about the future, even contemplating us all melding into brown people.

I supported the civil rights movement because I knew there were still pockets of institutionalized racism in the country. I believed we were finally going to make the words of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution ring true for all Americans.

Almost immediately after civil rights were firmly established in this country, I begin to observe black people segregate themselves. The most important thing in the black community began to be perceived of as appropriately black. To this end black people have created their own music, their own dress, even their own language, in short, their own culture. This culture is not only intended to be different from the white culture, it is anti-white. To my mind it has become the most racist culture in this country. The worst insult one member of this culture can pay another is to accuse them of acting white. Within this culture constant charges and counter charges as to whether your skin is too light or too dark. Skin color is everything to this culture.

The worst of all is the concept of affirmative action which sprang from the civil rights movement. This is nothing more than reverse discrimination. Black people threw the concept of a color blind society right out window. They want us to notice their skin color and they demand privileged treatment because of it. This was the first nail in the coffin of race relations for me.

Being Appropriately Black In America

This brings us back to the basic dilemma. Do we treat people as individuals or as a group? Black people’s concept of affirmative action clearly shows that they want to be treated as a group. But this is not the only way.

It is now the 21st century and for the first time in the history of this country a man of color, Barak Obama, has a shot at the presidency. The first thing we heard from the black community is “Is he appropriately black?”

What does it mean to be appropriately black in America? It means promoting the official black agenda. They call it:

“Keeping the pressure up on the white man”:

· Keep the guilt trips coming.
· Never let the slavery wound heal, keep it open and bleeding.
· Never forgive or forget, or let white people forget, a single insult paid to black people.
· Never acknowledge a single thing white people do to for black people.
· Hold black people responsible for nothing.
· Hold white people responsible for everything.
· Blame it all on the “White Devil”.

Any black person who doesn’t do this is labeled a traitor to their race.

To prove this point: Following the civil rights movement the irresponsible reproduction and irresponsible parenting of black people has steadily increased to epidemic proportions.

From CNN’s ‘Black in America’
Seventy percent of Black children today are born to unwed mothers, while only 25 percent of Black children were born to unwed mothers in the 1960s.

These mothers are apparently getting no help from their children’s fathers. This has reached such an abysmal state that the few responsible black people in the country have felt compelled to speak up about it. For daring to hold black men responsible for providing for their children, Bill Cosby has been vilified as a traitor to his race, and Jesse Jackson said Barak Obama should “have his nuts cut off”.

Whenever white people try to take black people to task for their own failures in this country, out comes the slavery card, out comes the past injustice card or any other guilt trip black people can use to justify why they can’t be held responsible for anything in this country.

White people have stupidly fallen for this con game, especially the liberal white media. This is because most white people genuinely feel guilty about the behavior of a minority of white racists. Black people refuse to acknowledge that the civil rights movement was backed by the majority of white Americans, including the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court who were vastly majority white. And it was white national guardsmen shoving guns in George Wallace’s face that really integrated The University of Alabama. Black people prefer to believe that it was Martin Luther King Jr. and Co. who stood alone and defeated the entire evil white empire.

A lifetime of listening to this; a lifetime of listening to black people try to blame it all on white people; a lifetime of listening to black people hold white people responsible for everything, hold themselves responsible for nothing; and a lifetime of listening to black people try to paint me as a white man to be their own personal white devil has left me with no sympathy for black people, no respect for black people and no desire to live with black people.

Black verses White

Ever since the civil rights movement black people have systematically demonstrated their total incompatibility with white culture. As stated above, white culture requires individual responsibility, not just in creating your own wealth but in all other aspects. Black people’s concept of affirmative action has given them such a sense of entitlement that they are holding white people responsible for providing them economic parity to white people. They actually believe that the economic inequity between our races is proof of white racism and white oppression. This is a totally false premise.

Black people don’t have their fair share of the pie almost entirely because they don’t create their fair share of the pie. All my life I have listened to black people demand that they be given their fair share and precious little about their responsibility to create their fair share. This is the kind of tribal mentality described previously.

Black people hold white people responsible for giving them jobs, but it’s not their responsibility to stay in school and get an education or otherwise develop a marketable skill. The black dropout rate has been upwards of 50% all my life, and it’s not clear how much of an effort the ones who remain in school make.

Oprah has determined that they are not worth her time and money. She would rather educate Africans.

“… I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn’t there. …”

Just who the hell is she holding responsible for educating black children, white people? What can white people do when these children rationalize their behavior by claiming that educating themselves is “acting white” and they are not going to do it?

And yet white people are being held responsible for providing economic parity to black people; and if we don’t give them jobs then we must give them welfare, subsidized housing, food stamps, health care, and so much more that I have come to believe that black people consume far more in social welfare programs than the pay in taxes. There needs to be an accounting and I would like to be proven wrong.

If you think I am exaggerating consider this source:

Gwen Richardson:
Why African-Americans Can’t Get Ahead: And How We Can Solve It with Group Economics
http://authors.aalbc.com/gwen_richardson.htm

“Unemployment rates for African-Americans have historically been twice as high as for white Americans… and the plight of young black males is even worse, especially in the country’s inner cities… An even more telling statistic shows that less than 1 per cent of jobs held by African-Americans are created by African-Americans. In other words, we are literally dependent upon other groups for our very livelihoods.”

Gwen Richardson is a black author and apparently one of the few black people willing to take responsibility for black failures. I haven’t read her book so I can’t comment further. However, I believe the majority of black Americans, especially the black establishment, would justify the fact that black people create jobs for only one percent of their people because of slavery, past injustice, racism, oppression etc. You know the song and dance: Blame it all on the white devil; black people can’t be held responsible for anything in this country. You’ve had to listen to it for 50 years.

Black Americans have a myopic view of race relations, defining themselves almost entirely in relation to white Americans. It is time to step back and look at the big picture. The bottom line is this; there are two highly correlated facts throughout the world:

All white cultures are at the top of the world socio-economic ladder and the most desirable places to live because they absolutely and totally reflect the content of the character of white people.

All black cultures are at the bottom of the world socio-economic ladder and the most undesirable places to live because they absolutely and totally reflect the content of the character of black people.

See: http://www.success-and-culture.net/articles/percapitaincome.shtml

Black people turn every place they exist into poverty stricken hell-holes. This includes every sub-Saharan country in Africa, Haiti (as well as all other black communities in the Caribbean and Latin America) and the inner cities of the USA.

I will not tolerate any nonsense that this is due to white racism and white oppression because there is yet one more highly correlated fact throughout the world. Black people who live with white people enjoy a much higher quality of life than those who don’t. This is true for Europe, the US and even South Africa during the height of apartheid. This is because they are incredibly overly subsidized by white people. That is why the migration from black to white cultures is increasing. Even Africa is overly subsidized by white people.

As stated previously, every culture in the world absolutely and totally reflects the content of the character of the people who create it. I reject all politically correct arguments as to why black people are doing so poorly in the world. But black people have added two more verses to their “Blame it all on the white devil” song and dance. All of the problems in Africa are because white colonialism has trashed black cultures so badly they’ve never been able to recover. Haitians have been so traumatized by slavery they’ve never been able to recover. If there is a single reason why black people are not doing better in the world than they’re doing, other than an innate inability to do for themselves, it is their systematic refusal to hold themselves responsible for anything. The one thing they have become expert at is to guilt trip white people to provide them a quality of life they cannot provide themselves anywhere in the world.

It should be clear by now that black Americans enjoy a much higher quality of life than they have earned. But they still see themselves as victims because they are not provided with economic parity to white people and they hate us for it. This is irrational because white people don’t do this for each other as explained above. Statistically there are twice as many poor white people than black people, but these poor whites don’t seem to get the same attention.

I will now make the case that black people are the real victimizers in this country. I will use negative racial stereotypes which if not entirely accurate reflect the way black people are perceived in this country.

The first victims of black people are their own children. Blacks have a higher birthrate than whites, 70% of their children are born to unwed mothers and get little help from their fathers. There is a very high infant mortality rate. They know these children are going to grow up in the mean streets of the black communities. They don’t care because I believe too many of them try to use their children to retire on the welfare system. If they want a raise they drop another one. These children are raised to believe they are victims of white oppressors.

There is a film of a black women standing up in a crowded auditorium and shouting at the top of her voice: “We are going to breed ourselves into the majority and white people are going to pay for it.” If anyone can find a copy of it please send it to me. These people know what they are doing. It is you politically correct white morons who are clueless. Let us count all the ways white people are paying for it.

Welfare: We have had to become a welfare state to subsidize the incredible amount of irresponsible reproduction and irresponsible parenting of black people. This is a perversion of the white culture outlined above. For blacks everything emanates top down from government. The costs include welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing etc.

Health Care: In addition to the regular care “poor” people require from Medicare, Medicaid, Emergency rooms etc. add these costs: The high infant mortality rate can cost $500,000 per premature birth. Among these welfare queens there is an obesity epidemic; this is translating into a diabetes epidemic. Blacks account for half of HIV/AIDS cases, and two-thirds of American women recently diagnosed are Black. The emergency rooms costs as black children shoot each other down like dogs in the street.

Education: Every so often someone comes up with yet one more grand plan or costly government program such as magnet schools or “no child left behind” to convince black children to educate themselves. They all fail. According to a 2007 article in The Washington Post, the Washington D.C. public school district spends $12,979 per student per year. This is the third highest level of funding per student out of the 100 biggest school districts in the U.S. Despite this high level of funding, the school district provides outcomes that are lower than the national average in reading and math. Black children are victimizing the schools, and all of us are stigmatized by the poor performance of American students.

Criminal Justice System: Many of the black dropouts do so because they know their future is in criminal enterprise. The cost to deal with black’s overrepresentation in the courts and prisons is humungous. Although I agree that the drug problem should not be dumped on the Criminal Justice System, I don’t know how much difference this would make.

If you think I am being harsh or unfair, I go to these lengths because I believe that many, if not most, black people actually see these as proof that they are victimized. In fact, they are victimizers. They say this is due to poverty. But they are poor because they have shown little ability to create their own wealth anywhere in the world. They don’t create jobs for themselves or their children and at least half of their children refuse to educate themselves. They cannot justify their irresponsible behavior because of their irresponsible behavior and hold white people responsible for it all. There can be no justification for this irresponsible behavior, ever.

What is the solution for this? I don’t think there is one in this country. Affirmative action, the effort to be appropriately black, the refusal to act white has proven to me that we cannot live in harmony. Being appropriately black means being poor everywhere in the world, be it Africa, Haiti or any black community in the Americas. Acting white means being rich everywhere in the world, be it Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand or even South Africa. I submit that if black people are tired of being poor they should start acting white.

However, their instincts are correct. They aren’t going to make it in the world by being imitation white people. They don’t think or behave like white people. But what they’ve come up with isn’t working as far as I’m concerned. They are going to have figure it out for themselves, white people can’t do it for them.

The black race must be considered to be a parasitic race as defined above. They are totally dependent upon white people to provide them jobs, welfare, housing, health care, etc. And what have white people received in return for this hospitality? Resentment, hatred and endless complaints about how we are not doing enough to end poverty in America. The people who are not doing enough to end poverty are black people themselves. They are not educating themselves or creating jobs. They are not creating their fair share of the pie.

We need a separation, a divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. All my life I have heard black people complain about how awful it has been for them; how they were dragged out of Africa against their will; enslaved an oppressed by the white devil and how we owe them reparations for this injustice. I agree, we owe them repatriation to Africa. It’s time to take them home, to where we so rudely took them from in the first place.

Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t the only black man with a dream. There was a black man with an even better dream. Marcus Garvey had a return to Africa dream. He even formed a steamship company called the Black Star Line to make it happen. I think we should all work together to make his dream come true.

One possible solution is that black people in this country trade places with white people in Africa. Africa can rid itself of the last vestiges of colonialism and America can shed itself of the legacy of slavery. It has been reported that the black racists in South Africa are preparing to do to white people what Robert Mugabe has done to whites in Zimbabwe, but are being inhibited out of respect for Nelson Mandela. We can find a way to sort this “Africa is for Africans” out peacefully.

You do not have to remind me that there are plenty of black achievers in this country. My response is that Africa is in desperate need of these people. Who has the greater responsibility? White people to continue to provide them a quality of life they have in this country, or these achievers to help their less fortunate relatives in Africa. All my life white people have been guilt tripped to help poor black people. What have black achievers done for poor black people anywhere in the world?

Hispanics

There is a population explosion going on in the world today. Experts project that by the time the population levels off, the world population will double or even triple to 10 to 15 billion people. The numbers are frightening enough. It is questionable whether there are enough resources, even water, to sustain this population, but definitely not enough for everyone to use them at the rate the United States is using them.

But it is much worse than sheer numbers. It is the people least capable of providing for their children that are having most of the children; and there is no better example than what we call the Hispanic race. For the purposes of this discussion Hispanic means non-white Latin Americans since it is generally accepted that white people throughout the world have reached zero population growth, which is where we should all be at this point in time.

It seems to me that the entire Hispanic race has determined that the only chance they have of attaining any kind of quality of life is to elbow their way into this country, dump themselves on white people and demand that white people provide them a quality of life they cannot provide themselves in their own countries and cultures. This must be case since any U.S. citizen who objects to this illegal migration is called a racist in the shrillest manner possible. There can be no doubt that this accusation is aimed directly at white people.

It is remarkable to me how similarly to black Americans Hispanics behave. Like black people they are non-achievers in their own parts of the world and they are non-achievers in this country. Like black Americans the dropout rate is upwards of 50%, and they are as overly represented in the criminal justice system as black Americans are.

They don’t have the built in excuse that black Americans have been using. They weren’t dragged here against their will and enslaved and oppressed in this country by the white devil. They have come here against the will of most Americans. We can’t beat these people off with a stick. But they are beginning to blame their poor performance in this country on white racism. This is an incredible load of racist crap.

Hispanics claim they have a right to be here because this is a country of immigrants. This is a specious argument because every country in this hemisphere is a country of immigrants. In fact immigrants from Europe begin arriving in Latin America in 1492, 128 year years before the English established the Plymouth colony in 1620. They don’t have a right to come to this country without our permission any more than we have a right to go to their country without their permission, and we don’t.

The real question is why is the “American Dream” north of our borders so much better, so much preferable, than the “American Dream” south of our borders. Don’t forget, America applied to Latin America first. By every politically correct argument Latin America should be 128 years ahead of North America. Mexico City was a thriving colonial city when the University Of Mexico was established in 1551, 69 years before the Plymouth colony.

The answer has already been defined. This is a white culture and is the most desirable place to live because it reflects the content of the character of white people. Every Hispanic culture south of our bolder, without exception, is an unacceptable poverty stricken hell-hole that absolutely and totally reflects the content of the character of Hispanic people. It is not a matter of geographical luck. You have to be a low-grade moron to believe that this country full of Hispanics will be any better than any other country full of Hispanics.

Hispanics and their supporters have argued that this migration is good for the US. They assert that they do the work Americans don’t want to do, they are needed to fund the retirement of the boomers and we need them to grow our population and to grow the economy. At the risk of boring you to tears I will debunk these arguments at length.

There can be no doubt in anyone’s mind that slavery has been a totally unmitigated disaster for this country, but because of the wide open way this country was colonized nothing could be done about it. However, slavery began to die out on its own because it wasn’t economically advantageous. Immigrant labor from Europe became cheaper than the capital costs of purchasing, feeding, clothing and housing slaves. That is until cotton became king. Then you heard this argument: We can’t get Americans to work the cotton fields so we need to import cheap labor in the form of African slaves.

See: http://www.slaveryinamerica.org/history/hs_es_cotton.htm

So now you hear the same kinds of morons make the same kinds of arguments. Gee, we can’t get Americans to work the bean fields; therefore we need to import cheap labor in the form of Hispanic immigrants. Thereby creating, expanding and exploiting yet one more lower socio-economic class based on race. You morons just don’t learn. Exploiting lower socio-economic classes based on race is a formula for disaster and this next lower socio-economic class will be the biggest disaster of all.

The founding fathers of this country split from England to escape the class system that had a strangle hold on the old world. We weren’t oppressed or poor. We simply didn’t want King George running our lives for us. We wanted to continue our efforts to build a country based on independence, freedom, self sufficiency and egalitarianism. Slavery has always made the Declaration of Independence ring hollow as does the exploitation of any other race, even when that race is aiding and abetting us in their exploitation.

It is not so much that we can’t get American’s to work the fields, but to work the fields for what the growers want to pay them. And the problem it isn’t just big business. Every one of you white morons who are delighted to have cheap labor to clean your house, do your yard work or raise your children for you are part of the problem. The labor gains that we built up in this country are being eroded away by the flood of cheap labor. In an egalitarian society you should have to pay people what you think you should be paid if you had to spend your life doing that work. The class system you are establishing in this country is spelling your own doom.

There is no evidence that the growing Hispanic population will be a net contributor to the tax base. I believe that whatever economic advantage some people got from exploiting black slaves has been paid a thousand times over by the social welfare costs blacks have required for generations. While the Hispanic immigrant is willing to be a cheap peon for white people, their children aren’t. And since half of these children refuse to educate themselves and are as overly represented in the criminal justice system as blacks, I believe they will be more of a burden than a benefit considering their large families. I see no evidence that Hispanics are creating any more jobs for their people in this country than they are in their own countries.

If white people continue to let this go on they will find themselves a minority in an Hispanic culture. If you want to know what kind of Hispanic culture this will become, take a good hard look at Venezuela. In Venezuela the majority race, the indigenous population, voted one of their own, Hugo Chavez, into power for two reasons. First, because everyone is a racist; and wants their own race in power. Second, because he promised them he would redistribute the wealth. This is exactly what he is doing. Latin American countries have a history of taking sharp turns to the left, especially those with large tribal populations. When the Hispanic race becomes the majority race they will vote themselves into power and will probably want to redistribute the wealth because they have shown little ability to create their own wealth anywhere in the world. That is why they are here in the first place.

Finally, let me make this argument. It is the 21st century and no human being should be required to do what we are hiring Hispanics to do. White men can build machines to do most of this work. Our biggest industries such as wheat and corn are almost fully mechanized. All agriculture and the other monotonous repetitive work can be mechanized. The thing that is delaying this is the population explosion of the non-achieving races. They are not only eager, but desperate to do the work we can build machines to do cheaper than we can build the machines to do it. I am intentionally insulting because this population explosion is not dooming only them, but the whole human race to be cheap human machine labor.

The population explosion of this race cannot be allowed to dictate the future of this country. Hispanics have not been shy about promoting a racist agenda to promote their illegal invasion into this country. Don’t feel guilty about promoting a racist agenda to preserve this country and culture.

Jews

The same white racists who hate black people seem to hate Jews even more. This has been somewhat of a mystery to me since most of these whites are Christian; and as far as I’m concerned Christians are Jews, at least culturally. Jesus, their Lord and master, is a Jew. They supplicate themselves to a Jew almost every day. Yes, there is a history of religious animosity between these groups which reaches back to the time when Christians absolutely considered themselves Jews, but what I’m talking about is racism. I assume that these are lower middle class whites who believe Jews are enriching themselves at their expense. Blacks can identify with this since it is well known that they think Jews have too much economic power in their communities.

The point I am trying to make is that no amount of white racism or white oppression has kept Jews from being economically successful, nor is it keeping anyone else from doing so. Down through the millennia Jews have been kicked out of virtually every country in Europe at one time or another chiefly because they have been perceived as being too economically successful. The last case in Germany was a perfect example. Germans suffered more than most during the depression because France did everything they could to punish them for World War One. It was easy for Hitler to scapegoat the Jews.

I don’t have a particular problem with Jews because I don’t perceive them as an immediate threat to my culture. They create their fair share of the jobs and the economy, maybe more than their fair share. They are well represented in the sciences and the professions, maybe overly represented. They have created the only real economy in the Middle East.

Achievement commands respect.

Reject the White Man’s Burden

White people cannot be held responsible to solve the problems of the non-achieving races of the world. It is their responsibility to make their own parts of the world as desirable as we have made ours. It is their responsibility to provide their children with the same quality of life we provide ours. If they cannot do this, what good are they? If they cannot do this, the world does not need these people at all. And if they cannot do this, the world does not need to be over populated by these people, which is exactly what’s happening.

Whatever white people do to help the non-achieving races help themselves, we must not do the following:

1. It is not white people’s responsibility to provide the non-achieving races a quality of life they cannot provide themselves.

2. It is not white people’s responsibility to provide their children a quality of life they cannot provide them.

3. It is not white people’s responsibility to subsidize the population explosion of the non-achieving races,

4. White cultures do not have to fling open their borders and absorb the population explosion of the non-achieving races.

5. White cultures do not have to become multicultural as the non-achieving races desperately seek a better quality of life in them. White cultures are infinitely preferable to their cultures because they are not their cultures. White cultures are infinitely preferable to their cultures because they are white cultures; and in order to remain white cultures they must remain majority white, and I mean vastly majority white.

6. And above all, white people do not have to tolerate becoming minorities our own countries and cultures as the non-achieving races of the world decide that the only chance they have of attaining a better quality of life is to elbow their way into white cultures, dump themselves on white people and demand that white people provide them a quality of life they cannot provide themselves in their own countries and cultures.

Most white people will think I am cold and heartless. They feel guilty that they have so much and so many others have so little. They want to help alleviate the suffering of the poor people of the world. But I warn you, you can only help them help themselves, and if they cannot do it for themselves there is little you can do. If you continue to subsidize the population explosion of these non-achieving races they will turn your culture into their culture and you will watch your children suffer the same low quality of life as theirs.

The most important thing you can do for them now is to stop the population explosion of these “poor” people. The sheer numbers are keeping them poor and “enslaving” them as cheap labor.

Colonialism

In my opinion white people have taken an unfair hit because of colonialism. In a real sense colonialism tried to bring the advantages of white culture to the rest of the world. For a long time many of the successful parts of the non-white world were former British colonies like Hong Kong and Singapore. Kenya was considered the “shining light” of Africa until ethnic violence broke out. This kind of ethnic violence that is sweeping Africa and other parts of the world is nothing less than racism.

But these colonies considered themselves oppressed and sought independence. Their attitude was: our countries are for our people, white people go home. There was an “India is for Indians” movement, an “Africa is for Africans” movement, and in Latin America “Gringo go home”. For the most part white people simply got tired of listening to it and packed up and went home. They weren’t evicted by force although Africans consider Robert Mugabe a hero for the only successful war against white people.

It seems that a lot of these people are following white people home. Well, back at you….. White cultures are for white people, brown people go home.

The Human Population Explosion

At the risk of belaboring this point ad nauseam, the biggest threat to us all is the human population explosion. We are crowding out the rest of the life on the planet to the point that we are causing a mass extinction epoch, the first caused by life itself on this planet. Our consumption of resources is having an increasingly negative impact on this planet from pollution to global warming. There are not enough recourses for the current world’s population to consume them at the rate white people are consuming them, let alone double or triple the population.

The reason white people use so much recourses is because we created the industrial revolution. We created the technology that runs on fossil fuels. We have had the luxury of having it all to ourselves for a very long time. Even after white men invented it and showed the world how it was done, the other races just didn’t get it… except for the Japanese. The reason for white colonialism wasn’t any burning desire for global domination. It became a kind of global arms race between major European powers. If you didn’t get out there and grab the world’s recourses, then your European rivals would. And the reason that white people could grab all these recourses for ourselves is that the native populations weren’t exploiting them for themselves.

White people have been vilified for ravaging the world and raping the environment, and there is a lot of truth in this. But this is what has made white cultures so wealthy and desirable. This is what has made the “American Dream” that everyone else in the world wants a piece of. Everyone in the world wants the quality of life that Americans enjoy. Everyone in the world wants to use recourses at the rate white people are using them. It is not possible.

It has been delightful to watch the economic explosion in China. This generation of Chinese may enjoy the same grand era that Americans enjoyed in the ‘50s and ‘60s; the “Happy Days” that I grew up in; the same degree of technological advancement and upward mobility. I didn’t think the world would see another such era. But they are making exactly the same mistakes we have made. Scavenging the world for resources and buying economic prosperity at the cost of environmental degradation. We just don’t learn. Gone are the days of cheap fuel and maybe even cheap food. Can the rest of the world follow China? I don’t think there are enough resources, even water.

White people cannot continue use resources at the current rate we are using them. And although we are developing alternative fuels, recycling and trying to change our bad habits, it is a horse race as to whether technology can solve the problem as the current population increases their use. Increasing populations severely aggravate this effort.

We must stop the human population explosion. It is the best, and maybe the only hope of raising the quality of life for the rest of the world. Whites and Japanese have reached zero population growth. The Chinese have imposed a draconian one child per family law in their effort to stem the tide. The achieving races are doing the right thing. It is the people least capable of providing for their children who are having all of the children. It must be stopped. The sheer numbers of these people are keeping them poor and their population explosion is devaluing them further.

I have gone so hard over on this issue that under no circumstances will I agree to subsidize the population explosion of the non-achieving races of the world. I am furious that this country has become a welfare state that subsidizes the population explosion of brown people in this country. I am furious that I am paying to pump food and health care into Africa and other parts of the world to alleviate the horrible suffering of these people. I believe this chronic suffering is due to populations growing past their ability to provide for themselves. The only program I am willing to pay for is population control. It is the only real and long lasting solution. And above all I am furious that these populations are allowed to explode into this country as well as all white cultures.

I am so hard over on this issue that if these people refuse to do the right thing and control their populations like the modern nations do, we should control their populations the old fashioned way. They should be forced to stay in their own parts of the world and starve to death. You think I am evil, heartless and cruel, but consider this. When Africans start starving to death they get little help from their fellow Africans even though there is enough food. If Africans can watch their fellows starve to death so can I. This goes for all of the other chronically poor parts or the world. Although I am willing to do something, I will not subsidize their population explosion. You cannot guilt trip me into subsidizing their irresponsible behavior because I’m rich and they’re poor. Population control first. The health of the planet depends upon this.

The Future Of The Human Race

Allow me go down a path that will scare the hell out of even most white people. You have probably surmised by now that I am way out in left field…. You don’t know how far.

I believe the future of the human race is in space. In fact I believe our very survival depends upon this. As long as we are all huddled on this tiny rock, squabbling over what little land there is left on it we are in danger of going the way of the dinosaurs. To continue this analogy, somewhere out there, there is an asteroid with our name on it. It’s not a matter of if it will smack the earth; it’s a matter of when. If it hits before we can deal with it, or before we have colonized space, we’re history. And of course there are many other scenarios that can spell the end of humanity on the planet. I’ll discuss them in more detail in another paper.

The question is: who will venture into space? In 1903, two white men, working out of their bicycle shop and in secret, created the first practical airplane. In 1969 white men were walking on the moon. This is what white men can do in 66 years. But all during this space effort I had to listen to black people assert that white people shouldn’t be allowed to spend their money in space. They should be forced to spend it on the poor. Translation, we should be forced to subsidize the irresponsible reproduction and irresponsible parenting of black people. This was another nail in the coffin of race relations for me. White men, we cannot piss away any more of our time and money subsidizing the population explosion of the non-achieving races. We must move into space as quickly as possible.

The Japanese and Chinese are developing their own space programs thereby demonstrating their intention to be involved and I applaud their efforts. We need to move ahead on all fronts. But what about the other races? Black Americans have contributed little more than negativity.

The glaring unanswered question in this discussion about who should return home is the one asked by Native-Americans. When will white people go home? And believe it or not, I am somewhat sympathetic to this argument. I harbor a romantic vision of sending the other races back to their homelands, moving white people into space and returning stewardship of this beautiful land to Native-Americans. But I have as much chance of convincing most white people to move into space as I have of convincing the other races to return home. And if I could, it will take quite a bit of time. So I ask you, Native-Americans, do you want to return to the Stone Age, or do you want to reach for the stars?

Actually, my ultimate fantasy is to move the whole human race off the planet and leave Gaia (mother Earth) to evolve even more fantastic life forms. There is a lot of room out there. We have Mars and Venus to terraform. We are builders of worlds. We have the technology now and we need to get on with it.

I must conclude this discussion on race by the most outlandish concept of all. I believe that when we move into space that’s exactly what we’ll do move into space. I believe that the next great strides in human evolution will be in zero gravity habitats. There is unlimited room to grow in space and we can once more “be fruitful and multiply in number”. This will create new human races. In zero gravity people can essentially fly, unneeded feet can evolve into hands, and who can say what else. This may cause more race problems, but oh well.

Whatever else happens, space can be the final refuge where white people can build cultures free of the non-achieving parasitic races that hate us for our success and then insist on dumping themselves on us and demand we provide them a quality of life they cannot provide themselves.

The Christian God Is An Evil God

A lifetime of being raised in the Christian tradition, listening to various teachings about Christianity and observing life in this world has resulted in the inescapable conclusion that the Christian God is an evil God. This paper will attempt to demonstrate this. It doesn’t assert that God is evil, only the Christian concept of God, and why it should not be taught in the schools.

The Word Of God

There are a lot of people claiming to speak for God, or otherwise spreading God’s word. The problem is that they are all saying something different. This has resulted in very many conflicting religions in the world, even within Christianity. This is totally unacceptable. The main pillar of the Judeo-Christian religion is the concept of the Covenant. The Covenant is literally an agreement with God, which asserts that if we obey the word and the will of God, we can expect to be treated fairly by a kind and just God. But a covenant works both ways. We have an obligation to obey God’s laws and God has an obligation to make sure we understand, in no uncertain terms, what His laws are. The fate of our eternal souls depends upon this. Clearly, this is not working. Evangelical Christians assert “anyone who doesn’t accept Jesus Christ as their own personal Lord and Savior will suffer eternal damnation in Hell”. This results in over two thirds of the human race being subjected to horrific suffering since only one third are Christian; and probably a whole lot more since some Evangelicals don’t consider all Christians worthy of Heaven. Is this some kind of a cruel joke? How can God stand by and allow this to happen when he can obviously do more to teach us His will. Whispering into the ears of certain prophets and expecting them to spread the word is not working. Only a cruel and evil God can allow such confusion when so much suffering is at stake.

Basic Assumptions

Because of the confusion that plagues Christianity, this paper makes certain assumptions. They are based on a perceived consensus about the nature and word of God. The two fundamental tenets of Christianity are:

1. God is an all powerful being that created the universe and everything in it.
2. Everything in Heaven and on Earth happens by the will of God.

This is what most Christians and even most Moslems believe. This means that any conflict between God and Satan is no contest. God has the power to rid the world of the Devil if He wanted to. Therefore, it has to be concluded that the Devil exists by God’s will. There can be no duplicitous behavior of crediting God for all the blessings of the Earth and blaming the Devil for all of the evil that exists. “Everything in Heaven and on Earth happens by the will of God”. Therefore, all of the evil on the planet is also the work and the will of God.

God’s Curse

Christians insist that Genesis be taught in the schools as valid creation theory. Genesis states that God intended people to live in the Garden of Eden. A paradise described as being free of want and suffering. But God cast us out of Eden as punishment for breaking the rules and placed a curse upon us.

Genesis 3:17 To Adam he said,
“Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.”

The following two points illustrate the cruelty of this curse.

Hunger And Starvation

God cast us out of Eden knowing we would suffer hunger. God has watched millions starve to death, but does nothing to help. Hunger and starvation have stalked the human race ever since.

This is no kind, loving and just God. This is a vengeful, vindictive, spiteful, cruel and vicious God. But God, in His wrath, is just warming up. His curse upon us gets much worse.

Diseases and Parasites

There are many Christians who claim to being doing God’s work by helping to alleviate the horrible suffering caused by diseases and parasites such as Aids and malaria. But aren’t these organisms God’s creatures, created by God through “intelligent design” according to Christians? Christians have vehemently opposed evolution, asserting that God created all life on the planet and that life is immutable. This evil cannot possibly be blamed on Satan because only God can create life.

Why did God create these organisms? What are their little “purpose-driven lives” all about? Obviously, their purpose is to get inside our bodies and eat us alive, slowing and painfully from the inside out. Once again one has to conclude that God is doing this to us on purpose. Who are these Christians who want to oppose the work and the will of their God?

Other Christians claim that the medicines that exist are “gifts from God”. But are they? All medicines have undesirable side affects and eventually become ineffective against organisms. Since Christians don’t believe in evolution, it cannot be that these organisms are evolving a resistance to these medicines. It must be assumed that every time we invent a medicine to defeat God’s evil bugs, God creates new ones to defeat our medicines. If God really wants to give us a gift He has the power to eliminate the diseases and parasites altogether. Obviously He will not do this. He wants us to suffer slow agonizing deaths. This is conveniently omitted from Christians intelligent design theory.

If a human being created these organisms in a laboratory and unleashed them into the world he would be condemned for engaging in biological warfare. He would be considered the evilest man on the planet.

God’s curse upon us has been to conduct biological warfare against us. This God is not perfect and sinless. This God is flawed and sinful. Any being, even a god, who intentionally inflicts this kind of suffering upon others, is evil.

Hell

We are not only condemned to suffer life on a cursed world but God has even greater suffering in store for most of us in Hell. Some Christians believe that before the appearance of Jesus, that was the fate of all people. Do they realize what they are saying? Can they grasp the depth of the horrors and suffering they promote? How can they describe such a God as kind and loving?

Once again Christians cannot agree about what actually goes on in Hell. A newer, more politically correct version is a somewhat benign place where we exist apart from God as He denies us His love. A place of emptiness and despair as we go mad “gnashing our teeth” because God is not smiling upon us.

However, Billy Graham is an acknowledged authority on the Evangelical concept of Hell. The following is an excerpt from one of his sermons:

You say, “Well, what kind of a place is hell?” I’m going to read to you right out of the Bible what kind of place it is. This is where some of you are going to spend billions and billions of years. You’d better listen. This is God’s Word.

Revelation 20:15 says it’s a lake of fire. Psalm 11:6 says it’s a horrible tempest. Psalm 18:5 says it’s a place of sorrows. Matthew 13:42 says it’s a place of wailing, a furnace of fire. Luke 16:23 says it’s a place of torments. Matthew 8:12 says it’s a place of outer darkness. Revelation 14:11 says it’s a place of unrest. Luke 16:24 says it’s a place where people scream for mercy. Matthew 25:46 says it’s a place of everlasting punishment.

That is God’s description-not mine. And God says that all people outside of Jesus Christ are headed to that place unless they repent of their sins and turn by faith to Jesus Christ.

This is toned down version of the “fire and brimstone” sermons we’ve come to expect from Evangelists. It must be concluded that souls cast into Hell don’t lounge around the lake of fire enjoying the view[i]. Traditional Evangelists describe souls being cast into the lake of fire and suffering the horrors of being burned alive for every second of their existence – for eternity. This must be defined as torture, the most heinous kind of torture imaginable. Hell can only be defined as God’s personal torture chamber. Most of the human race has concluded that torture is unacceptable, even for the worst of us. We describe people who torture others as evil. What is evil in people is evil in a god.

Psychological or “physical” torture is equally unacceptable. And why is God torturing us? Not because we have committed a mortal sin, but because we have not sung Jesus’ praises sufficiently according to Billy Graham.

The Christian God is pure evil.
