Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos Set $200 Million Fund to Recover Endangered Species
By Mya Copeland
Leonardo DiCaprio’s Re:wild and the Bezos Earth Fund have launched the Phoenix Species Project, an initiative dedicated to recovering endangered species.
The project will provide support to recover 100 species facing imminent extinction, spanning mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, invertebrates and plants from 30 countries in habitats ranging from oceans to volcanic plains. The initiative will work in collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, local communities, scientists and conservationists.

Most billionaires spend their fortunes buying things. Jeff Bezos decided to build rockets instead.
“The only way that I can see to deploy this much financial resource is by converting my Amazon winnings into space travel. That is basically it,” Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos said in an interview with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner in 2018. “Blue Origin is expensive enough to be able to use that fortune. I am currently liquidating about $1 billion a year of Amazon stock to fund Blue Origin. And I plan to continue to do that for a long time.”
Bezos described the private space company as “the most important work that I’m doing,” saying he viewed its mission through a long-term lens focused on expanding humanity’s future beyond Earth.
At the time, the comments sounded ambitious. Nearly a decade later, they’ve largely become reality.
Billions of Dollars, One Mission
Bezos founded Blue Origin in 2000, years before commercial spaceflight became one of the world’s most competitive industries. Rather than relying on outside investors in its early years, he largely financed the company himself by steadily selling Amazon shares.
Rosamunda Took
The mother of Fatty Bolger
Years of the TreesFirst AgeSecond AgeThird AgeFourth Age
A granddaughter of Hildibrand Took, who was in turn the eighth of the Old Took’s twelve children. Rosamunda thus belonged to a minor branch of the family of the Thains of the Shire. She is important to the story of The Lord of the Rings because she married into the Bolger clan. Her husband was Odovacar Bolger, and their son was Fredegar (‘Fatty’) Bolger, who aided Frodo and his companions in their escape from the Shire.
Notes
| 1 | Historically the name Rosamunda developed from Germanic hros ‘horse‘ and mund ‘protector’, but its popularity was likely influenced by the fact that it reflected the Latin phrases rosa munda ‘pure rose‘ and rosa mundi ‘rose of the world’. Given that Tolkien gave several of the Tooks names derived from Latin, and the popularity of flower names among the Shire-hobbits, it seems reasonable to guess that Rosamunda Took’s given name was derived directly from the Latin ‘pure rose‘. |

The Amazon and Tolkien Fulfilment Clause
Amazon operates enormous data centers in Morrow County and wants to build six more. It’s seeking tax breaks that would cover five of them. Dave Killen / The Oregonian
Here is
Dear Governor Kotek; I have been posting on your Facebook ideas how the J.R. Tolkien Legends can come to Oregon, and Oregon be seen as a co-owner of a Literary and Artistic Genealogy and Legacy that I have come to own in so many amazing ways. I am seventy-six years of age, and will not live forever. However, my Family Legend will. How do I make the State of Oregon Heir to my visions and work. I have worked with the homeless and would like us to find a way that any monies realized from this Literary Estate, can go for low-cost housing for the homeless. Will this housing be on a money-making real estate market – eventually? Has a new way to make investments in housing the homeless yet to be discovered?
I just read an article that suggests there was unethical business practices in Amazon securing a billion dollar tax free haven in Marrow. This dovetails nicely with the La Mota ethics scandal. I applaud the resignation of Fagan and the search for new Ethical Frontiers. This is a huge giveaway, not unlike the two hundred million you obtained to help the homeless. Is Uncle Sam getting his fair share? The Republican’ are refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless Biden makes drastic cuts. Howmany other giant corporations are not paying their fair share?.
On my blog, Royal Rosamond Press, you will see me dressed as Uncle Samaclaus, the beloved Grandfather of All Government Giveaway Programs. This pic was taken at the second Eugene Occupy. I have a scheme on how I can be Grandfathered in-to the Amazon Giveaway Bonanza! I was once homeless, but thanks to SHIPS, I ended my chronic homelessness. I got sober at Serenity Lane thirty six years ago, and have been seeing a therapist for three years. I am YOUR SUCCESS STORY! However the woman nest door has huge sub-woofers, and for four months has practiced ‘Acoustic Violence ‘ on me and my Service Cat, Classy. I write about twelve hours a day on my blog that may be the largest in the world. I need Peace and Quiet. My lack of sleep is destroying my health. I get SS1 because I suffer from PTSD.
On my blog you will see the Amazon Fulfilment plant. I want a thousand foot appartment cut in the corner of it – overlooking the Columbia!. I will live here – rent free! I will get Amazon healthcare and a thousand a month. I want a small electric car to go shopping. In an emergency, a Amazon helicopter will fly me off the roof to the nearest hospital. Also, I want Amazon to purchase the old power plant and turn it into a Guild and Museum for Fantasy Authors. There will be limited residency. Perhaps solar panels could fill the large arias, and The Guild could sell it excess electricity.
Governor, I hope that being upfront is helpful in you considering my proposal and the needs of the State of Oregon. I am kin to Christopher Lee who played Saruman. We do not want Oregon’s Literary Legacy and Windfall to fall into the wrong hands. The two towers you see on the old plant, and the electrical devices, can be used to do – evil! I have a daughter, but she keeps going over to the dark side. In a couple of days I will write you and ask for moneys to go to England to attend the showing of a woman’s paintings. She lived over a hundred years. This journey will secure for Oregon – a Grail Ring!
Oh, by the way, I ran for Governor as a Republican, and voted for you!

Amazon doesn’t actually have the rights to The Silmarillion. This means the series will be based on The Appendices at the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Which, admittedly, does overlap in stories between the two books, but if it is mentioned in The Silmarillion and not in the Appendices, it is off-limits. And this has to do with the rights from the Tolkien Estate and from J.R.R. Tolkien himself.

There Will Be Roseblood
There Will Be Roseblood
by
John Presco
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
I awoke on the morning of March 23, 2026 around 3:30 AM. I had a feeling of dread. There was a crash of an airliner. Trump is promising to invade Iran with troops, and wipe it off the map. I pick up my phone, and continued where I left off. I google….
ROSAMOND THE CUP BEARER
I gasped when this blog came up. I thought I had lost Drew Benton’s early AI Art that she did around 2000. What was haunting, I believe Drew read this post, and thus the attempt to put Rosamond in her name. Her driver’s license read…
DREW ROSAMOND TAYLOR BENTON
This made filling out her death certificate, troublesome. Rosamond had been misspelled…..ROSMOND. I saw Christine and Garth being united again on a official document. I was the only family member that responded. Two hid from the police. What went wrong? Drew was the Poster Child of one of California’s most powerful law firms. Robert Brevoort Buck put together the family Oil Trust. There was….
BAD BLOOD
I am very poor and scraped together the money for cremation. I asked Drew’s ex-boyfriend for Drew’s art and computer. He said he would send me the art, He never did. If my blood kin had told me Drew killed herself, by twenty stab wounds to her thighs – and jumping off her balcony – I would have raised more money. After declaring I am the executor, I would seal the apartment! The ex hauled everything out of there. He was desperate for a copy of the death certificate. When I got it, I disovered my niece died two hours later – of a heart attack! WTF! There are two times and two places listed. This guys mother – worked at that hospital? He claimed he did not know Drew’s parents were famous artists. Did he refuse to give me Drew Rosamond’s Art – after I told him?
The stock market shot up 1100 points after Trump said he was talking peace with Iran. This proved to be more bullshit. Oil has been running and ruining my families lives since 1982, after Christine and Garth formed a partnership with Lawrence Chazen, the righf-hand man of J. Paul Getty. He and Newsom were Tax Men.
I am tempted to publish the Police Report. There are pools of blood in Drew’s appartment and outside on her balcony. A decorative knife sits in one large pool. This is the knife my beloved niece used to deliver unto herself…..
BLOW AFTER AFTERL BLOW, AFTER BLOW, AFTER BLOW, AFTER BLOW
How can this be a SUICIDE ATTEMPT? Would you do this – in a frenzy to leave the planet? I got on Google after I read this HORROR STORY. A person who stabs themselves, stab themselves in the stomach and neck. The heart is also a target. This alleged attempt – FAILED! Drew then jumped off her three story balcony, and lived. She talked to people. The ambulance took her away. Around midnight the second daughter of the world famous artist CHRISTINE ROSAMOND BENTON
DIES!
A tube was put in her throat, WHEN? The first thing that came to my mind, is the rescue people thought they had come to pick up some DRUG TRASH. Drew only had her underwear on. Was she crying out in pain because her pelvis was shattered? Was she seen as…..ANOTHER PAIN IN THE ASS?
Yesterday I told an old friend, I believe One Battle After Another is
ABOUT ME
Today, I believe There Will Be Bad Blood is
ABOUT ME
I found There Will Be Blood – very annoying, There was a Preacher Man that was always MAD! I have been called a LUNATIC by people who read the religious aspects of this blog….

Drew Benton and the Rose Mouth Grail
Two months ago I met Vicki and Drew in a fanciful land on Everquest. I looked like a grey-haried Danish King whom I name Wolferose. This name is derived from my study of the name Hrothmund a character in Beowulf.
“Rosamund, Rosamond, Rosamunde, Rosemonde is of Teutonic origin,
having been formed from the Old male name Rhosmund, softened down
from Ruodmunt same as the Old and Middle high German name Hrothmond
(Icelandic Hrothmundr) old Gothis, Ratmund. Junius’ translation
Ruodmunt. “red mouth”. The name if from Ruod-munt for Rad-Mund “man
for counsel” councilor of Radmun, “protector in council”
Tolkein’s Ring Trilogy was inspired by the Icelandic Tales authored by, and about, my kindred.
Above is the artwork of my my niece who became an orphan in the world when her father, Garth Benton, died two weeks ago. Vicki has taken Rosamond’s daughter under her wing. She is a Foundling in Art Mundi. I am the Protector of the Grail Council known as the Rose of the World. The Sleeping Beauty – is awake!

Beowulf, Rosamond (Hrothmond) and the Rose Mouth Grail

(Images: Cup-beaer, Wealhbeow, serving mead. Coat of arms. Beowulf
fighting dragon. Wolfhouse. Brendal’s mother.)
A movie version of the legend of Beowulf is due to be released in a
week or two. Today I found the definitive proof the name Rosamond
comes from the Hrothmond/Hrothmund, and is the source of the Hromund
who is the hero of the Icelandic saga,’Hromundr Gripsson’ that
inspired Tolkein. Some scholars suggest this saga is the source of
some aspects of the Arthurian legend, as well as a source of the
Lohengrin legend.
Hrothmund is the son of Wealhþeow who preformed the ceremony of the
mead cup, she the cup-bearer for the Danish kings. No one has been
able to define the meaning of her name, but it looks like it ends
with “beow” and might stand for mead made of honeycones. It is
suggested she is a servant or “slave”, but I see Maiden Server of
Mead. Perhaps she is a mead goddess.
Hrothgar wishes to adopt Beowulf, but Wealhbeow bids the king to not
forget Hrothulf, which looks like Hrotwulf “famous wolf”
or “redwolf”. Hrothgar has two sons, Hrethric and Hrothmund, the
latter being the source of the name Rosamond. Did Beowulf become
Hrothmund’s half-brother?
Hrothmund is said to mean “rose mouth”. This is meaning of the name
Rosenmund of which we see a coat of arms with two roses and a cross.
There is a Rosenmund Cup that is the centerpiece for the Gerberzunft
Guild in Basel. Did this cup ever SERVE mead to distinguished guests,
if only in a traditonal sence?
Beowulf was written by a farmer named Rolf. Is it possible he is my
ancestor and lived in Wolfhouse where the Roesmonts dwelt?

My family name, Rosamond, will forever be associated with the Beowulf
legend that depicts a usurption by Hroðulf, i.e. Hrólfr Kraki.

Investigate Buck Oil Spill
I am going to gather a team of Environmentalist to investigate the old oil spill of the SS Frank H. Buck, and the new oil spill. This investigation should be funded by the Buck Foundation Institute. We need scientists at Lands End to look for oil residue.
Above are scenes from the movie The Sandpiper starring my cousin, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, who plays an artist. Liz looks very much like my late sister, Christine Rosemond Benton, whose partner in the first Rosamond Gallery in Carmel, was Oil Man, Lawrence Chazen. There needs to be a study on how many billions of dollars the California Coast generates. The cabin in the Sandpiper was moved.

Frodo, Amazon, and William Morris
I am going to write a script and send it to Amazon.
Jon Presco
Amazon, Netflix and HBO had been approached by the Tolkien estate, who had been shopping the project. It came with an upfront rights payment said to be in the $200 million-$250 million range, and I hear Amazon landed the rights by paying close to $250 million. That is just for the rights, before any costs for development, talent and production, in proposition whose finances industry observers called “insane.” It is a payment that is made sight unseen as there is no concept, and there are no creative auspices attached to the possible series. On top of that, the budget for a fantasy series of that magnitude is likely to be $100 million-$150 million a season.
“The Lord of the Rings is a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination of generations of fans through literature and the big screen,” said Sharon Tal Yguado, Head of Scripted Series at Amazon Studios. “We are honored to be working with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins and New Line on this exciting collaboration for television and are thrilled to be taking The Lord of the Rings fans on a new epic journey in Middle Earth.”
Set in Middle Earth, the television adaptation will explore new storylines preceding Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. I hear that there are some creative restrictions imposed by the rights holders on what can be done and what can’t be done in a LOTR TV series.
“We are delighted that Amazon, with its longstanding commitment to literature, is the home of the first-ever multi-season television series for The Lord of the Rings,” said Matt Galsor, a representative for the Tolkien Estate and Trust and HarperCollins. “Sharon and the team at Amazon Studios have exceptional ideas to bring to the screen previously unexplored stories based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s original writings.”
Given Amazon’s mandate to launch a big fantasy series of the scope of Game of Thrones, which comes directly from honcho Jeff Bezos and Amazon’s deep coffers, the company was considered the leading contender for a Lord of the Rings series. Bezos has been hands-on involved in the matters of entertainment division Amazon Studios following the purge of its top executives, led by Roy Price, and has been taking meetings and making calls to agents.
Rosamunda and Frodo
Posted on September 21, 2012 by Royal Rosamond Press
Rosamunda Bolger-Took was the second cousin of Frodo Baggins. The new Hobbit movie is due out.On September 20, 2009 I announced my grand entry into the Republican Party – in order to save it from the Oil Orcs. I compare this to Frodo throwing the ring of invisibility into Mount Doom. I wanted to make visible the invisible Evil Ones that have taken over the party founded by my Benton kindred.
A week ago I talked to my sister, Vicki, and my niece, Drew Benton, on the phone. I told them I was about to show how the name ROSAMOND is at the epicenter of many myths, including the myths that inspired Tolkien. I told Vicki and Drew we could author – and illustrate – our own family legend. Drew is working on a comic book, and goes on raids with her aunt on Everquest where Vicki has several avatars, one of them being, Rosamond.
Frodo’s father is Drogo (dragon). He and his wife drowned in a boating accident.
Christine and I were avid readers of the Ring Trilogy. Above is a photo of Rosemary Rosamond with her four children whom she loved dearly. We are going on a road trip. Little did we know we were making a beeline for Mount Doom. There can be a new beggining if you leave the author alone, and let me show the brighter side of the coin. We may be destined for Immortality.

“As a token of her confidence, she told him he need no longer call
her, “Auntie.” The previous year, Bilbo had suggested that Frodo no
longer address him as, “Uncle,” if he wished. Plain, “Bilbo,” would
do. Frodo still called Bilbo, “Uncle,” now and then; it had become
too ingrained a habit. But, following suit, Rosamunda suggested Frodo
might call her, “Rosa,” or, “Rosamunda.” Frodo forgot, and called
her, “Auntie,” many times, but, within the space of an afternoon
tea, “Rosa,” she became.”
Rosamunda Bolger (née Took) was the mother of Fredegar “Fatty” Bolger
and Estella Brandybuck. She was married to Odovacar Bolger and was
known as Rosamunda Took prior to the marriage. They lived in
Budgeford in Bridgefields in the Eastfarthing of the Shire. Rosamunda
and Odovacar both attended the Bilbo’s Farewell Party in 3001 along
with their children.
Fredegar “Fatty” Bolger
Norman Cates as Fatty Bolger from a Decipher Card designed by Weta
Friend of Frodo Baggins. Fredegar Bolger, called Fatty, was born in
2980 to Odovacar Bolger and Rosamunda Took Bolger. He had a sister
Estella who married Merry Brandybuck. Fatty’s great-great-grandfather
on his mother’s side was Gerontius, the Old Took, who was also the
great-great-grandfather of Merry and of Pippin Took. Fatty’s family
was from Budgeford in Bridgefields in the Eastfarthing.
“From first sight, even the site of the new cottage had enchanted
her, dug as it was into the southeast side of a grassy hill in the
midst of Boffin lands, populated with Boffin sheep. There was a
little copse below it, just to the side, and a spring-fed well, all
of which reminded her of her childhood home. The place had come down
to Odovacar through his mother’s side, a Boffin. He had used it as
asort of base, when he and his friends had gone out hunting.
Theywould stock the little hole with gear and rations. Then, with
their bows, and a pony for their gear, they would make forays west
ornorth, towards the Downs or up to the Moors, or, closer still,
intoBindbale Wood. But that was years ago, when the game had not
yetmoved so far off. When Rosamunda had viewed it more carefully,
she saw the hole was inconsiderable disrepair. Also, it was a bit
too small. She had new rooms dug, so that there was a parlour and a
kitchen, a bedroom for each (and one to spare), along with extra
chambers further back fo rstore. When it was finished, it suited
Rosamunda very well. Especially, she loved the light. Situated
facing south-east, the light poured through the windows in the
mornings, her favourite time of the day. And, when she stood
outside, she could see the land stretching east and south far into
the distance. Illuminated by the late afternoonsun, the prospect was
especially fine. From the top of the little knoll that made the
cottage’s roof, she could see far to the northand west, where sheep
dotted the rolling hills. The sky at nighttook her breath away. And,
all day, the birds sang, the wind blew,and the Water, which ran
nearby, just to the west, mostly narrow andquick as it came down out
of Long Cleeve and Needlehole, could justbe heard when the wind
dropped and everything was still. She loved its peace and quiet, so
tucked away and so private. Yet,it was just an hour’s walk over the
hills to Bag End or to Hobbiton. Overhill, to the east, was even
closer. Every fine day Rosamunda walked the hills, seldom seeing
another living creature other than sheep, or, very rarely, a doe or
faun. She did not walk south to Hobbiton, however, except on errands
orfor an appointed visit. She had not forgotten
her “understanding”with Bilbo. And Bilbo did not forget her, either.
Regularly, he sent her gifts of wine or ham or fruit in season, as
tokens of his neighbourly regard. She appreciated the way he could
show marks ofparticular notice, without making her feel the burden
of obligation.”
Beowulf: the Monsters and the Critics is an important 1936 lecture
given by J. R. R. Tolkien on the subject of Beowulf criticism. It was
published in 1983 in The Monsters cs.
This paper is widely . In this talk, Tolkien speaks against critics
who play down the fantastic elements of the poem (Grendel, Grendel’s
Mother, the dragon, etc.) in favour of using Beowulf solely as a
source for Anglo-Saxon history. Tolkien argues that rather than being
merely extraneous, these elements are key to the narrative and should
be the focus of study. In doing so he drew attention to the
previously neglected “literary” qualitites of the poem and argued
that it should be studied as a work of art, not just as an historical
document. Later critics who disagreed with Tolkien on this point have
routinely had to cite him and systematically defend their arguments.
The paper remains the first port of call for students of the Anglo-
Saxon epic and has been quoted admiringly by Nobel-laureate Seamus
Heaney in the introduction to his best-selling translation of the
poem.
Apart from its obvious importance as the field-defining paper in
Beowulf studies, the paper also sheds light on many of Tolkien’s
ideas about literature and is an indispensable source for those
seeking to understand his own writing.

On other webpages, that are linked in a circle to this one, I compare
the Rosamond family legacy with that of the Dante Gabriel Rossetti
family, whose siblings were also at the core of the Pre-Raphaelite
art movement, Michael and Christine Rossetti publishing in ‘The
Germ’, they taking over their father’s printing company. In a record
of immigrant names, Rossetti, in French, is Rosemond. Christine and I
were inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, several of them Knighted
Artists of England where lived other Royal and Rosy people that are
now being linked to our Family Tree, a Rose Bush if you will, for
alas in the finding of my lost daughter, the roses now harken to the
legend of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ who lay aspleep in her bower at the
center of a hedgerow of thorns. May this family of the Royal Rose
restore the Forsaken Garden.
My Grand Entry Into the Republican Party
http://the-bohemian-register.blogspot.com/
One can easily conclude that Denne Sweeney, Joe Wilson, and so many
neo-Confederates that have found sanctuary in the Republican party, are deluded,
in denial, not able to face the truth the Confederacy lost the Civil War. This
is why they act like bratty children at the Tea Bag rallies they help organize.
This is why I have chosen myself at the age of eight to lead the New Republican
Parade against the enemeis of the Radical Republicans, and my kin, John Fremont
and Jessie Benton. We all have to grow up sometime!
The photo above was taken at school. The teacher had me glue it on to a
big-lined piece of paper where upon I wrote;
“I am looking at a picture.” I believe I am the artist of said picture. I have a
masterpiece to complete.
“Do you know where you are going to? Do you like the things that life has been
showing you? Do you know? Do you care?”
As a Libra Child born with an unlimited imagination, I always wanted to champion
a worthy cause. I always wanted to be a knight and go on a Quest.
As a grey-haired man of sixty two, my Quest is all about TRANSFORMATION, or,
change. This is why I chose the Tarot Card DEATH to lead my Grand Republican
Parade. Frodo undergoes a near-death experience which allows him to go forward
that extra yard, beyond the threshold, and thus save Middlearth. On the banner
death carries, is the Rosa Mundi, the Rosa Mystica, that contains the secret of
the Triumph of Life over Death.
“Frodo still called Bilbo, “Uncle,” now and then; it had become too ingrained a
habit. But, following suit, Rosamunda suggested Frodo might call her, “Rosa,”
or, “Rosamunda.” Frodo forgot, and called her, “Auntie,” many times, but, within
the space of anafternoon tea, “Rosa,” she became.”
Is Bilbo really Frodo’s “uncle”?
No. Bilbo is the son of Bungo (son of Mungo). Frodo is the son of Drogo, who is the son of Fosco (son of Largo, Mungo’s younger brother). Therefore Bilbo and Frodo share a common ancestor in Balbo, father of Largo and Mungo. Since that makes Bilbo and Drogo second cousins, Frodo is Bilbo’s second cousin once removed.
And (I almost forgot)–Frodo’s mother Primula Baggins (nee Brandybuck) is a first cousin of Bilbo on his mother’s side. Hence, through their Took connections (Primula is the daughter of Mirabella Brandybuck (nee Took)), Bilbo and Frodo are first cousins, once removed.
Are Merry and Pippin actually cousins?
Yes–they are first cousins, sharing a common grandfather: Adalgrim Took (who, by the way, was not a Thain).
Merry and Pippin are first cousins, twice removed, of Bilbo (via Bungo’s marriage to Belladonna). They are also Bilbo’s second cousins, twice removed (via Rosa Baggins’ marriage to Hildigrim Took).
Are Merry and Pippin related in any other way?
Yes. Merry’s great-grandmother, Mirabella Brandybuck, is Pippin’s (and Merry’s) great-great aunt. Therefore, on Merry’s father’s side, Merry and Pippin are also third cousins (sharing the OldTook? as a great-great-grandfather).
How is Frodo related to Pippin?
In the same respect as Bilbo is related to Frodo, as it turns out. Frodo and Pippin share a common ancestor in the OldTook?, who is one of Frodo’s maternal great-grandfathers. This makes Frodo and Paladin second-cousins; and Pippin is therefore Frodo’s second cousin, once removed.
How is Frodo related to Merry?
Frodo and Merry share a common ancestor in Gorbadoc Brandybuck, who is Frodo’s maternal grandfather. Frodo is thus a first cousin of Saradoc, making Frodo and Merry first cousins once removed.
However, Frodo is also connected to Merry on the side of his (Frodo’s) maternal grandmother, Mirabella Brandybuck (nee Took). Frodo and Merry share a common ancestor in the OldTook–and? since Merry and Pippin are first-cousins (sharing a Took grandfather), Merry is also Frodo’s second cousin once removed.
Is Frodo related to Merry and Pippin in any other way?
Yes. Rosa Baggins, first cousin of Fosco, Frodo’s Baggins grandfather, married Hildigrim Took. Via this connection, Frodo is a third cousin, once removed of Merry and Pippin.
Where does Fatty Bolger fit into this picture?
Arcana, does not mean physical death. Rather, the Death card portrays symbolic
death-a change or transformation. Often, it heralds the end of a familiar or
more comfortable mode. It conveys a release which is necessary for growth and
expansion. Perhaps it even brings a whole new set of principles which will guide
you spiritually, emotionally, psychologically or financially. Joseph Campbell,
author of A Hero with A Thousand Faces, describes times of personal change as
periods when “The familiar life horizon has been outgrown; the old concepts,
ideals, and emotional patterns no longer fit; the time for the passing of a
threshold is at hand.”
After Death comes John ‘The Highwayman Rosamond’. He is a Robin Hood, a man who
would have been king if it were not for the usurpers. He is detertimed to get
his heritage and estate back, even if he has to resort to being a thief. He
is………Strider.
Then come the Swan Knight who descends from Lohengrin, the son of Parsival.
Then come the Hungarian Hussars who were Fremont’s bodyguards.
Then come William of Orange who offered the Rosamonds land in Ireland.
Then come Bennette Rosamond a Grand Master of the Orange Order and member of
Canadian Parlaiment.
Then come the Orange Lodge, the Teutonic Knights, and the Knights Templar.
There is a New Atlantis rising. We can write our own ticket, but, we must all
repent of the evil of Slavery. We must……….change!

1. You must preserve these books with body and soul. They contain the history of
all our people, as well as of our forefathers.
2. Last year I saved them in the flood, as well as you and your mother; but they
got wet, and therefore began to perish. In order not to lose them, I copied them
on foreign paper.
3. In case you inherit them, you must copy them likewise, and your children must
do so too, so that they may never be lost.
4. Written at Liudwerd, in the year 3449 after Atland was submerged – that is,
according to the Christian reckoning, the year 1256.
5. Hidde, surnamed Oera Linda – Watch!Chapter II: Beloved successors -1. For the
sake of our dear forefathers, and of our dear liberty, I entreat you a thousand
times never let the eye of a monk look on these writings.2. The monks are very
insinuating, but they destroy in an underhand manner all that relates to us
Children of Frya.
3. In order to gain rich benefices, they conspire with foreign kings, who know
that we are their greatest enemies, because we dare to speak to their people of
liberty, rights, and the duties of princes. Therefore they seek to destroy all
that we derive from our forefathers, and all that is left of our old customs.4.
Ah, my beloved ones! I have visited their courts! If Wr-alda permits it, and we
do not show ourselves strong to resist, they will altogether exterminate us.5.
Written at Liudwerd, in the year 803 of the Christian era. Liko, surnamed Oera
Linda.

“Pick you own damn oranges! We’re pulling up stakes, and getting the hell out of Carmel, pronto! You got too many water problems! declared Frank Rosamond, head of the Rosamond clan of California, who was not happy about the death of his cousin, Rena-Christina Victoria Roozemonde.

I found proof Robert Buck is the son of Frank Buck, who over timbered the trees around Springfield where I live. This is huge! I got the New John Steinbeck Story. I am certain Robert is the guy who gabe me a hard look as I stood next to my mother at the funeral reception – and refused to shake my hand. Rosemary told me he was a very rich and powerful man. He went to Hastings and I must have

I have long wondered why the law firm of Buck handled the Rosamond Probate for ten years – and didn’t charge the estate – a dime! Did Alan Fox take up the tab? Did he want to prevent any of Rosamond’s Family from published a bio and, author a movie script? Alan may be dead.
Frank Buck co-founded Beverley Hills. Consider the Clampetts. I have long wondered if Christine Rosamond knew too much.

“Hi Dan. Ten years ago we talked in your office about the white equestrian statue outside your office. According the ongoing Kesey Square Myth, this horseman may come alive in the night, and drag Kesey statue over to Springfield – with your assistance. Is this true?”
I have known Dan Egan since I moved to Springfield eleven years ago. Recently, we discussed his prophecy that Springfield would soon own the statue of Ken now located in Eugene. Or, did Neil Laudati tell me this? There is a Trojan Horse, here? I have found the hidden Mr. Burns. In theory, I own the history of Springfield. Helen is my friend. I have talked about running for Mayor. I will beautify this lumber town. I own the real story of a lone poor man taking on the powerful and rich man with a bevy of attorneys, who depicted my famous sister as a deranged and dangerous lunatic, thus her legacy had to taken over by sane outsiders!
“Mr. Buck is a prominent Mason, a Knight Templar and Odd Fellow, and a member of various clubs, including the Bohemian, of San Francisco; the Pacific-Union of the same city, the San Francisco Gold and Country Club, the Claremont Country Club, of Oakland, California, and the Sutter Club, of Sacramento, California.”
From Frank would come the largest family trust on earth that is worth a billion dollars. Because there was alcoholism in the family, it was founded to combat this disease, and help the poor people of Marin. Maybe we can get Springfield in on this action, because Buck bucks, built this town – and Beverly Hills!
Subterranean L.A.: The Urban Oil Fields
Acres of ancient oil deposits played a fundamental role in the rapid growth of Los Angeles

The best-known legends surrounding the early days of the City of Angels involve water and Hollywood, with both intersecting dramatically in the film Chinatown. However, as the exhibition Overdrive: L.A. Constructs the Future, 1940–1990 reveals through a collection of luminous photographs and historical notes, the oil industry was one of the major engines of innovation that played a fundamental though perhaps overlooked role in the rapid growth of Los Angeles.
As a native of Southern California, this realization intrigued me. I suppose I’ve always been aware of the presence of the oil business in L.A., but only out of the corner of my eye. The skeletal derricks and stalwart pumpjacks on hillsides and city streets—ordinarily bizarre sights—blend into the scenery of everyday life here, becoming so familiar they’re often ignored.
The fact is that since the 1890s the city has been literally and figuratively built upon acres of ancient oil deposits deep beneath its shifting surface. The first successful L.A. oil well was drilled in 1892 by Edward Doheny, who tapped the Los Angeles City Oil Field on the site of a present-day swimming pool center in Echo Park, setting off an oil and population boom.

Lawrence Chazen and Family Partnership
“Meet my mortal enemy, Lawrence Chazen. He was Garth Benton’s good buddy and Vic’s private lender. Vic described Chazen as “a top financial advisor for the Getty family.” Chazen was investigated by Andrew Cuomo of HUD for loan sharking, he threatening to take the home from a black grandmother in Oakland where I grew up. I went to school with her grandchildren. As fate would have it you can see this woman’s son, Willie Aiken, in Mark’s High School football team photo. This article appeared in the Examiner in 1995 and hence I tried to warn people these crooks were collapsing our economy. I am a true prophet.”
As I type, President Obama is asking oil companies to end their tax havens, and pay more taxes. Chazen is the Director of Noble-Swiss, and Noble-Cayman. He is an expert at setting up tax shelters. He did this for the Getty Oil family who are buying up all the images on the internet.
After Grarth and Christine Benton formed a family partnership with Vic and Vicki, they formed a partnership with Lawrence Chazen in the first Rosamond Gallery in Carmel – where the family partnership prints were sold! Vic and Vicki got nothing! Chazen was the biggest creditor in the Probate, and the Bankruptcy Christine filed after filing for divorce. I filed a claim larger then Chazen’s so I could keep my families Artistic Legacy in the family, because it was being sold to an outsider – who lied to me about the family prints, she saying she had nothing to do with them.
The image of the four black girls is titled ‘Lena and Her Sisters’ . Lena was our black maid who treated us like her own children. The movie ‘The Help’ is about these anonymous bonds that Christine honored in 1986.
Victor’s best friends in high school sat atop the pyramid building in San Francisco as CEOs of TransAmerica Title, and were dismissed because of involvement in realestate loan scams. Chazen is a partner with most members of the Getty family, as well as the Pelosi’s, and Newsoms, in the PlumpJack. This is a family-like affair. This is the real history of a world famous artist, that many rich and powerful people do not want you to see. This is why Artist Anonymous was born – and unborn!
I have seen the light! I am the poor Bohemian Artist who has met his beloved Muse! And, we will set you free!

I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of California and an attorney
on record for 50% interest in Shannon Rosamond. In my 16 years as a member of
the State Bar California, I have never experienced a more deliberate fraud on
any court or more reckless and calculated attempt to fraudulently take control
of a probate estate at the exclusion of the lawful heirs and total manipulation
of a tester’s intent that the present efforts of Attorney’s Robin Beare,
Lawrence J. Chazen and Garth Benton, the descendants former spouse.”
“Over the specific argument of Ms. Beare, Judge Silver refused to appoint Mr.
Chazen. Neither Ms. Beare nor Mr. Chazen disclosed to the court the very
critical fact that Mr. Chazen has the largest single creditor’s claim against
the estate and is a former business partner and business associate of Garth
Benton who the court had removed as Special Administer just moments before.”
Newsom’s annual income from 1996 to 2001 topped $439,000 per year, according to tax returns he provided. Most of it came in wages and dividends from the same Getty-backed concerns.
— Newsom’s 2000 income ballooned to more than $1.3 million thanks to an $844,000 profit he made on the sale of a Pacific Heights house he bought with Getty’s help, the returns show.
— A Getty trust paid Newsom $169,000 for investment advice from 1997-2000, Newsom said.
— When the family-owned Getty Images photographic business took its stock public in 1996, Newsom was in on the initial public offering, buying $10,000 worth. Since then, he has made $60,900 profit on trades of the stock, the tax returns show.

Oil Executive Makes Art Movie
Posted on July 20, 2017 by Royal Rosamond Press
I just discovered that Robert Buck has been on the Board of the Jeffers Tor House Foundation for many years. I assume Lacy Williams Buck is his daughter, she too on the board. What this tells me, is, Robert Buck understands historic family legacies. Why then did his law firm utterly destroy my family legacy, and its star, Christine Rosamond Benton. Before they did this, they destroyed my niece, Shannon Rosamond. I am sure Robert Buck and his partner, Sydney Morris, know Lawrence Chazen, and Robin Beare, who suggested my niece be KEPT IN JAIL, instead of being in HER GALLERY selling Rosamond prints. Morris blesses the desire of ‘The Caretakers’ to write a biography and make a movie. Robert Buck’s book ‘When You Close Your Eyes’ denigrates and demonizes my late sister. Only Charles Dickens, or Victor Hugo, could do The Real Rosamond Story – JUSTICE!
I see Shannon down in a Carmel dungeon, or, locked in a tower, while Lacy Buck prances freely about strengthening THE BUCK FAMILY HOLD on California History. Note the Steinbeck Studies that should include the fruit orchards that Frank Buck owned. I think Beryl Buck had not intention of funding the worship of a poet – and his home – outside Marin County. Just as Heisinger, Morris and Buck installed outsider, Stacey Pierrot in the Rosamond Gallery, Bob Buck has put a giant feather in his kindred’s hat, she getting to walk about the Tor home – as if she owned it. Latinos picked the pears and fruit off Buck trees. Was there stoop-labor involved?
The chances that Bob Buck DID NOT KNOW a film was in the works about a famous Carmel Artist, is very slim! Bob’s law firm was just around the corner from the Rosamond gallery on Dolores. Did Robert Buck swing by with his rich friends to say hello to Stacey Pierrot, and show off HIS GOOD WORK? Does Bob know about me, that evil poor guy? If Chazen had become executor, would he have made a movie? Did the Buck Foundation attack me, and try to destroy me – too?
“By September 2000, however, plans were underway for a biography of Decedent, which Petitioner hoped might create interest in her work. The book was published in 2002. Although the book did not spur the hoped-for interest in Decedent’s life and work, efforts continued to market the concept of a screenplay based upon Decedent’s life. Petitioner hoping that this might be brought to fruition, elected to keep the estate open. However, it is the Petitioner’s belief the likelihood of an increased interest in Decedents work is negligible, and the time has come to close the estate.”

A demand by San Francisco interests for money from Marin County’s celebrated Buck Trust is rekindling a fiery dispute over a philanthropist’s fortune.
Vocal activists, joined by members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, have accused the Marin Community Foundation of neglecting the poor and mishandling the $1.2 billion trust — one of the nation’s largest charitable funds — that grew out of a 1975 bequest by wealthy Ross matron Beryl Buck.
Among their demands are distribution of the money throughout the region and a multimillion-dollar grant to empower Latinos.”
Proceeds from the book and movie will not be going to Christine’s daughters. I offer proof that my evil sister, Vicki Presco, did change the locks on the door of our sister’s home, and handed Shannon a key. I saw this. Here is part of a poem, from the Tor house contest. I just talked to someone at the SF Board of Supervisors! This is feathering one’s nest – with popping wine corks! m
