Eugene HOLI: All Ages Festival of Colors | Bollywood Party with DJ Prashant
I attended the Holi Color Be-In yesterday – and lived! However, I need a young computer wizard to help me arrange my medias so I can share images with you – here!
I got on the EM-X wearing my GOD hat. A trickster-drunk got on near the campus, and stared at me with a smirk
“What’s the G stand for?” he asked, expecting me to be intimated.
“It stand for GOD. I’m GOD!”
He hit the brakes – HARD! (Gulp) He bit off more than he could chew. He was swallowed by a whale.
“Somebody has to be. And, it looks like I’m it!”
Two black guys that were rapping up a storm, fell silent.
“Trump is playing GOD as we speak. What are you doing about it?”
He was messen with THE OAKLAND GOD! He was standing up, looking down on me. I rode the subways in New York in 1963. Never allow anyone to stand over you – and give you shit.
“What? You mean this G? No. I’m not going to put it out!”
He saw the light around me, and thought he could play in it. He sat down.
I did not know the Holi event was being held across from Wayne Morris Square where I place my Bond Book Characters – and where I confronted the armed Three Percenters. I saw Alley Valkyrie here. Here is many scenes from books, plays, movies I am working on, including ‘My Big Beautiful Blue Bicycle. Broccoli and Trump – are making mere promises. On a $900 dollar budget – I am even shooting sceenes. No one is going to give me MONEY&PRAISE because they know – I AM GOD! They believe I should be severely handicapped!
It occurred to me that the reason they tore down KORE radio station, is, they didn’t want another Waco – like the rightful ex-president wants another Waco.
Let’s do another number for Love Dance. Turn down Bollywood music and list to Arthur.
When Victoria told Starfish they were going to Eugene Oregon to track down what became of the Rose Division amongst the Habsburgs, she let out a spine-altering scrrrrrreeeee! She then shook all over, began to sweat profusely, and went into a trance. Victoria retreated, and Sharena got out from behind her desk, just in case she had to make a bee-line for the exit as Starfish made super rapid foot movements with quck turns in different directions. She would later tell the folks at BAD that this was the Lek black grouse dance she learned in South Africa where she and her father fled to get away from Vladimir Putin when he became Premiere of Russia.
“I’m going to bring my drum! This is a dream come true. My mother was born in Eugene. I’ve never been there! Screeeeeee!”
“You own a drum? Why isn’t this in the report? By any chance have you heard of John von Bond?”
The Royal Janitor
Victoria came in sideways to get Starfish, she twisting this way, then that, to avoid the gyrating flesh that clung to Agent 008 like kelp in a tidepool. Taking hold of her arm, she was shocked when Starfish turned in anger, and was about to slap her hand away.
“Don’t you dare! You got to come with me – now! Professor Bond is about to give his lecture.”
Starfish let out a whimper, and was pouting. Many hands tried to pull her back into the drum circle where she was a star. An old hag came up to them.
“Can we have her?”
Starfish gave Victoria a look of, hope. Perhaps things will continue to go her way.
The late artist, Denny Dent, was a friend of my friends in Oakland. He dated my famous sister, the artist ‘Rosamond’, in Junior High School.
To be depicted by a presidential candidate as sex fiends who love to abort babies, is evil! The Pope and the Military Industrial Complex, and all tyrants – including Bin Laden – hated the Peace and Love Revolution, and Free Speech Movement. Here are your Serial Killers that we Sane Young People loathed!
We made love, we made music, we made poetry, we made peace, we made religions, we made freedom! We celebrated being human! Our peers who went to Vietnam, did drugs, and they made babies.
John Lennon aspired to be an artist. He picked up a brush before he plucked a guitar string. Play the first two videos below at the same time, and know all my Generation – across this great wide universe -were Honorable. We were the best!
My Love Vision…came true! I posted this a year and a half ago. I put Starfish (Belle) in the drumming circle at the Free Speech Plaza. Miriam’s late mother was a Eugene Hippie. Her father was a Russian. The Hippie side of Miriam is emerging. Who emerged, was Natalia. This is very profound, because she is a Alleybelle combo who is at the epicenter of a coming war – of Armageddon? I began The Royal Janitor in order to defeats Trump and Putin.
Does Rocky know of Arthur Lee – and Love? Eight years ago I posted these two videos to show what my Love Dance would look like. Turn off volume on first one. The third video is a knock-off of Gloria and Going Home.
Victoria came in sideways to get Starfish, she twisting this way, then that, to avoid the gyrating flesh that clung to Agent 008 like kelp in a tidepool. Taking hold of her arm, she was shocked when Starfish turned in anger, and was about to slap her hand away.
“Don’t you dare! You got to come with me – now! Professor Bond is about to give his lecture.”
Starfish let out a whimper, and was pouting. Many hands tried to pull her back into the drum circle where she was a star. An old hag came up to them.
“Can we have her?”
Starfish gave Victoria a look of, hope. Perhaps things will continue to go her way.
“I’m sorry. She’s not mine to give!”
Again there came a whimper from Their Star, who made clopping sounds with her sandals all the way to the car. When she grabbed her drum, and clicked the trunk open, Victoria stamped her feet.
“No! You have to concentrate. Now get in!”
On the way to the University of Oregon, Starfish ran into her pad looking for more info on Professor John von Bond.
“Here’s a stalking report on him. Some chic is trashing his blog. She says it’s real creepy. Let’s have a looksee!”
“Does he say he’s related to me?’
“No, but he claims he is a Comet King, heir to the teaching of Meher Baba!”
“Who’s that? Never mind. We’re here”
Victoria parked haphazardly and put her DIPLOMAT shield in the window. Starfish never went to college. This was her first time on a campus. She took in all the beautiful students. The young women took notice of her, and turned their heads after she passed them. Their was an amazing aura about her. Waves of goosebumps went up and down her half naked body. There was fine mist of perspiration that caught the last light, and were like tiny rainbows. She was electrically charged due to her amazing dancing. However, she was not happy when the beautiful young men did not even look at her. Their heads were down, their eyes locked on their phone screens. At six-two, Starfish wondered if they were intimidated.
Finally, she grabbed one, on his way up river to spawn.
“Excuse me. I couldn’t help but notice your features. Victoria raised her eyebrows when she gently took hold of his chin.
“Very symmetric. I can see your father’s profile. And, you have your mothers high cheekbones. Did you know you are half your mother,and half your father, but, it is through your father…..you find God. Did you know that?…….I’m going to kiss you now!”
Victoria made a move to prevent this kiss, but, was repelled by a powerful energy field that she put around – them. Tilting his head back, Victoria delivered a soft and sensuous kiss, that froze them in time. His cellphone fell to the walkway, but, did not break. There was a beautiful sigh, that sounded like the opening of Morning Glories.
“You can go, now!” And Starfish watched him swim away. Turning, she stopped in her tracks when she saw Victoria was blushing. Their eyes were locked. She got it. Victoria dreamed of being kissed like that. Star approached, took her hand, and they walked the next hundred yards like this, they a rarity, as holding hands on campus went out of style twenty years ago.
“I was conceived a hundred yards from here. I feel it in my bones! I was made – with much love!”
P.S.S. Rena, I can’t sleep. I am so excited! We were in our tent and I was telling you I was a great dancer when I was when I was 13 to seventeen years old. I used to dance in front of a big mirror a half hour before I went to school, and a half hour when I came home. I choreographed my own moves. I invented dancing without a partner at Oakland High School in 1962, when I was sixteen. Fifty of my schoolmates would surround me and my partner as I did a solo ten feet away from her. I would go into a trance. When Marilyn turned sixteen, I danced the Bolero for her with my shirt off. Lucky girl! When I heard you had become a dancer, I was thrilled out of my whits because, this proves you were ‘The One’. You see, I have been jealous of the world since I met you. – before I met you, I was utterly jealous that we never got to dance together, that the world got to see you dance – on your beautiful stage. When did you get into dancing, and why? When I was young, and before we met, I had a dream about you almost every day. You were my invisible dance partner. Was that our destiny that we missed? Was that the big chance of our lifetime? What a dance team we would have made. They would know us at the ‘The Kiss of Eternal Fire’, or ‘The Fiery Kiss of Eternity’ “They loved each other better afar, than near. And when they came together, they did the Fandango!” We are playing with fire, Aries woman. Playing with fire! Right here – and so very far away! I mean, my God, I read about your hip replacement, and we are in a movie, based upon a book, that I am writing, and……are we really going to spend the last days of our life together wondering how many eggs the chickens laid today! I will take care of you when the needs arises. And as for our dance – may I take your hand and lead you to the floor?
Over a year ago I began a painting of you. One night after I lie down to go to sleep, you lie down next to me. You were seventeen again. I jumped out of bed. For a month you appear by my side as I walked. When I went to a movie, I was not quite alone. I told my friends I have a very friendly – and beautiful ghost.
When Victoria told Starfish they were going to Eugene Oregon to track down what became of the Rose Division amongst the Habsburgs, she let out a spine-altering scrrrrrreeeee! She then shook all over, began to sweat profusely, and went into a trance. Victoria retreated, and Sharena got out from behind her desk, just in case she had to make a bee-line for the exit as Starfish made super rapid foot movements with quck turns in different directions. She would later tell the folks at BAD that this was the Lek black grouse dance she learned in South Africa where she and her father fled to get away from Vladimir Putin when he became Premiere of Russia.
“I’m going to bring my drum! This is a dream come true. My mother was born in Eugene. I’ve never been there! Screeeeeee!”
“You own a drum? Why isn’t this in the report? By any chance have you heard of John von Bond?”
“Nope! But, have you heard of the Oregon Country Fair! My Kabalak Klock is telling me this is a Kosmic Konnection made in another dimension. What great timing! We are going to enter the Royal Drum Vortex. I am forbidden to ever step foot in Eugene, but, I don’t give a shit! This is it! You’re going to see – the real me! I want you to promise you will get me back to BAD!”
The Bollywood super star, Prihanka Chopra, is trying to become a super star in the West. She did a song with Hip-Hop star, Pitbull, titled ‘Exotic’. A year ago I sent an e-mail to my old friend, Jeff Pasternak, suggesting he produce a musical combining Bollywood dancing with the music of Love. Jeff and I went to University High School with Bryan McLean of Love, who became my good friend. Jeff was in love with my first girl friend, Marilyn Godfrey, and took her to Paris on a ship after we broke up.
Jeff tried to get the Doors in his father’s movie ‘The Sweet Ride’, but, he chose Moby Grape. Jospeh Pasternak made ‘Girl Happy’ starring Elvis Presley, who were a big influence on the Beatles. Joe exploited the hippie culture, and was the forerunner of Bollywood, that could have influenced these exotic musicals. That Moby Grape did a Mantra-Rock Dance-a-musical concert, that included Bhaktivedanta Swami, is profound, for indeed, this Jewish Movie Producer is the originator of Bollywood-Hollywood Musicals.
With the discovery that Love practiced in the warehouse of Vito Paulekas, whose good friend, Carl Franzoni, put together a troop of crazy freak-out dancers that toured the world, puts Love at the Genesis of a dance art-rock form that overcame the world. From Hollywood to Bollywood, and back again.
Hip-hop is not the right vehicle for Chopra. The Babyboomers would flock to a musical that reborn their music and their dance – as well as young people who are dying to get up and dance. The script for this Dance Review wrote itself. I am going to author a script and see if I can’t get it to Paliyanka Chopra. Jeff looks like Pitbull – the dueling swamis? Jeff, Marilyn, and I were into Yogananda. Jeff to me to his temple in Eugene where we sang songs.
Above is my Muse, Rena Christiansen, who became a choreographer. I imparted lessons to her on the Indian religion when we were lovers in 1970. She will be the Dancing Muse of the Love Goddess. The scene with Chopra coming out of the water is like my scene of Rena coming out of the water. Hey, do you think Bollywood has googled me?
In my novel ‘Capturing Beauty’ I tell the story how I got into football after hearing the roar coming from Cornhusker’s stadium. Chopra did a NFL video of her Invasion of America that these Old Hippie Seer saw coming!
“They asked me to pick a good amount of people to go with them [on tour] and we became the Byrds’ dancers. The tour was really something! The first place we went was Denver. We went into Minnesota, Youngstown, Ohio, Dayton, Ohio, stuff like that, I mean it was something to see, the way we danced! The kids were dancing in those lines at the time, line dancing, and we came in there and we broke up all that stuff … I got punched a couple times because they didn’t like our style of dance! But after that the whole United States went into that style. We were trained dancers. Vito had studied with some really fine dance teachers in Hollywood. We had a formal place we went to, and the people who were right after us were Toni Basil and David Winters. They were the shit, big time dancers, and they would sit and watch us, and take what we were doing, and add it into their stuff.”
What was the atmosphere like on the bus as you toured around the country? “Well, I brought some women, some good looking women that they could relate to. But they didn’t really have to worry about that, girls were knocking on their doors as soon as they got in the hotel rooms! But it was pleasant for them to have a couple of the dancers there — they could talk to them and stuff like that. For the most part the women were really good dancers. I had to pick the best I could find. There was a guy who came with us — they didn’t want any men — they really didn’t want any guys. But I convinced them that this guy Bob Roberts should come. Bob Roberts became a saxophonist with Frank Zappa and Reuben and the Jets, and then he became a big-time tattooist in Hollywood. I was the freak, because I had my own kind of uniform: tights and boots and crazy looking shirts.”
It’s a pretty unique situation where a band would take a whole bunch of dancers on the road with them like that. “Yeah! That was the only one that ever did it for me! I went with Frank Zappa, but I went solo. He couldn’t afford it. They [The Byrds] were ready to take us to England to show the English how to dance. We had a small nucleus of dancers and could have taken them to London and then those fucking Beatles wouldn’t have been so uppity. I decided not to go. Derek [Taylor, Byrds publicist] wanted us to come to this high school gym and he was having people come and take photos and I just walked out of it. That’s why they fired me.
“I still dance. I still can do an hour. I’m 68, I can still do it. Once you’re a dancer you can still do it. My friend Vito, a week before he died, he was 79, he was out on that dance floor.”
Shortly after that evening Joe Pasternak approached Jeff, asking, “What rock and roll band would you recommend for my new movie, The Sweet Ride?” Jeff immediately told him about The Doors, whom Jeff had been following to about every gig they had around L.A. By then, Jeff says, “Their music and energy had saturated every part of my being.”
The San Francisco rock and roll band Moby Grape contributed to the soundtrack, and appeared, credited, in the film, performing the song “Never Again” in a Sunset Strip nightclub called the Tarantula.
One of Moby Grape’s earliest major onstage performances was the Mantra-Rock Dance—a musical event held on January 29, 1967 at the Avalon Ballroom by the San Francisco Hare Krishna temple. At the event Moby Grape performed along with the Hare Krishna founder Bhaktivedanta Swami, Allen Ginsberg, Grateful Dead, and Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, donating proceeds to the temple
By about 1963, Vito, Szou, and their friend Carl Franzoni (b. 1934 in Cincinnati, Ohio), also known at the time as “Captain Fuck”, had begun going to clubs with a growing group of self-styled “freaks”, who reputedly “lived a semi-communal life and engaged in sex orgies and free-form dancing whenever they could”. According to writer Johnny Rogan, Paulekas’ “free thinking lifestyle and artistic passion inspired beatniks, aspiring existentialists and Valley girls in need of rebellion.” In 1964, Paulekas offered rehearsal space to the Byrds, and the following year the troupe of free-form dancers, with Paulekas and Franzoni, accompanied the group on their nationwide tour. Later, Arthur Lee and Love also used his premises for rehearsals.[1][2][3][4]
In some clubs, Paulekas and the dancers became as big an attraction as the onstage entertainment. The troupe – including several of the young women later to become known as The GTOs, and members of the Fraternity of Man – occupied the Log Cabin in Laurel Canyon formerly occupied by Tom Mix and later by Frank Zappa. Credited as “Vito and the Hands”, Paulekas recorded a single, “Where It’s At,” which featured some of the Mothers of Invention, with producer Kim Fowley in 1966. He has been credited with first using the terms “freak” and “freak-out” to describe the scene, and with Franzoni and other members of the troupe contributed to the first album by Zappa and the Mothers, Freak Out!. He appeared in several documentaries of the period, including Mondo Hollywood (1967) and You Are What You Eat (1968).[2][3][4][5] After Richard Nixon’s election as US President in 1968, he moved to Haiti and later Jamaica, before returning to settle in Cotati, California.[4] There, he and Franzoni established the Freestore street theatre and performance group, and built a bandstand for the town as well as contributing sculptures.[6][7] He and Szou divorced in the mid-1970s. They had four children, at least one of whom, Godo, died as a child. Paulekas died in Cotati in 1992, aged 79. So, when they brought that kind of music in to Minnesota, Iowa, places like that, those kids were just, ‘Wow, where did you come from?’ They could have started their own church with that kind of music they were playing. That 12 string guitar really worked good.”
What other songs were favorites to dance to?
“‘Hey Joe.’ We would just yell and scream when David was doing that. He would raise the temperature on that dance floor with that one.”
“With the assistance of the US military, Loeb and his team have narrowed down the meteorite’s likely impact zone to an area less than half a square mile in the ocean off the coast of Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island.”

Tonight I will be going to downtown Eugene to attend a Holi Bollywood dance and color festival – even though I may be going to meet my Doom as the embodiment of John the Baptist, who did not prepare the way for Jesus (who he never met) but prepare for a new heaven and earth – with new promised land. He was a Apocalyptical Prophet who was murdered in order to prevent his prophecy from coming true.
A Harvard scientist is leading an expedition to find a crashed alien spacecraft. Satan Trump is holding a apocalyptical happening on the anniversary of Waco. I warned you this day was coming. God is authoring and directing the show. Why not a Grand Bollywood Movie?
Fifteen years ago I had a vision for a musical with the music of Love, and Bollywood dancers. I posted videos of dancers with Love songs. Turn off the sound of the Bollywood number above, and leave the Love song. I will let your imagination do the rest. This is it…..The Grand Finale! If I do not live, feed my cat, Classy!

Trump rally falls on dark Waco anniversary
Duration: 06:53 12 hrs ago
Former President Trump kicks off his first campaign rally in Waco, Texas on Saturday. It falls on the 30th anniversary of the deadly Waco siege. Historian Jon Meacham talks about the power of place, especially as Trump amplifies calls for violence.
The word apocryphal (ἀπόκρυφος) was first applied to writings which were kept secret[8] because they were the vehicles of esoteric knowledge considered too profound or too sacred to be disclosed to anyone other than the initiated. For example, the disciples of the GnosticProdicus boasted that they possessed the secret (ἀπόκρυφα) books of Zoroaster. The term in general enjoyed high consideration among the Gnostics (see Acts of Thomas, pp. 10, 27, 44).[9]

Large asteroid to zoom between Earth and Moon
by Daniel Lawler
Small asteroids fly past Earth daily, but one this size coming so close only happens once a decade (artist’s impression).
A large asteroid will safely zoom between Earth and the Moon on Saturday, a once-in-a-decade event that will be used as a training exercise for planetary defense efforts, according to the European Space Agency.
The asteroid, named 2023 DZ2, is estimated to be 40 to 70 meters (130 to 230 feet) wide, roughly the size of the Parthenon, and big enough to wipe out a large city if it hit our planet.
At 19:49 GMT on Saturday it will come within a third of the distance from the Earth to the Moon, said Richard Moissl, the head of the ESA’s planetary defense office.
Though that is “very close”, there is nothing to worry about, he told AFP.
Small asteroids fly past every day, but one of this size coming so close to Earth only happens around once every 10 years, he added.
The asteroid will pass 175,000 kilometers (109,000 miles) from Earth at a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,400 miles per hour). The moon is roughly 385,000 kilometers away.
An observatory in La Palma, one of Spain’s Canary Islands, first spotted the asteroid on February 27.
Harvard physicist Avi Loeb has planned a $1.5 million expedition to Papua New Guinea to find fragments from a meteorite he thinks might be an alien probe.
With the assistance of the US military, Loeb and his team have narrowed down the meteorite’s likely impact zone to an area less than half a square mile in the ocean off the coast of Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island.
He said they may discover tiny fragments that could turn out to be “technological,” meaning manufactured, thus providing solid evidence of the existence of aliens.
If not, the remnants may be found to be made of some kind of never-before-seen super-strong material such as a metal forged from a neutron star, the collapsed core of a supergiant star.
“We have a boat. We have a dream team, including some of the most experienced and qualified professionals in ocean expeditions,” Loeb wrote on Medium in late January.
“We have complete design and manufacturing plans for the required sled, magnets, collection nets and mass spectrometer. And most importantly, today we received the green light to go ahead,” he added, referring to the approval by Papua New Guinea.
John Ambrose could not believe his good fortune. On his way to Safeway in his vintage 1972 Ford Truck, he noticed the gate to the grounds of KORE radio was open. Pulling over, he entered what he considered hallowed ground. It was his dream to own this radio station that had been for sale over a year. His heart began to pound when he saw workman hauling boxes out of Armstrong’s old radio station that was just sold. To John’s dismay, it was being torn down. Taking shaky steps towards the dumpster, John knew he must act. He could not stop himself from climbing the built-in ladder. Looking inside, his eyes instantly spotted the handle of an old suitcase. Before he grabbed it, he knew what this suitcase looked like. Getting a firm grip, John gave a mighty tug, and, there was debris and papers flying about him, when he heard a voice!
“Hey! What are you doing! Get out of there!”
John pretended he did not hear the command. With shaking hands, he clicked the clasps, and lifted the lid of the suitcase.
“Holy shit! John said, as he beheld the title of the manuscript………
My name is John Ambrose, and this is the prophecy from God that was given unto me in Springfield Oregon. Because the Core Soul of America is being ripped out by False Christian Haters, my hand, and my mouth – is being forced! Because I love people and animals so much, it grieves me to say the Day of God’s Wrath, is at hand.
In the photograph above, you see me standing in front of KORE radio station that was founded by Herbert Armstrong. Note the atenae coming out the top of my head, and, the dish next to my ear. I am hearing God’s Vocie – directly at times! I am bid to broadcast to you…………..The Truth!
When I was in Saint Vincent de Paul’s on Q Street, I beheld the hat I am wearing. I stared at it for the longest time. Then, I heard the voice of an angel.
“Don the Humble Hat of God, and speak to the People of the Red, White, and Blue!”
Because my Rosamond ancestors were True Patriots, and because the Lord de Rougemont funded Vincent’s mission, I am forced to admit I am a Prophet of God. The first thing God wants you to know, He and Armstrong missed the mark in not foreseeing the fall of the Soviet Empire. God has always admitted His mistakes, so He can make corrections.
Because I am a genealogist of renown, I discovered Donald Trump descends from Catherine the Great, who was a Prussian Princess descended from the oligarchs of Babylon. The Empress of Russia, owned TEN CROWNS. I also descend from Catherine. The question is, does Putin know the hidden pedigree of the President the United States? Is Putin a Svengali, a puppet master, moving Trump towards the Prussian Crown?
I, John Ambrose, suspect President Trump, serves TWO EAGLES. And, in his pocket is one of Catherine the Great’s coins. Other’s are carrying this coin. Mitch McConnell is one coin carrier. I am bid to discover the identity of THE THIRTEEN.
His will, will be done!

John ‘Shembe Nazarite Prophet’
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – John Ambrose raised the flag Monday to remember his friend, Hollis Williams.
Presco hopes in the next few months he can raise enough money that Williams’ death will not have been in vain.
“He doesn’t have a home right now. He’s homeless in a morgue and I’m entering my anger stage on that,” said a downcast Presco. It’s anger that he’s working out with a hammer. Ambrose mounted a new U.S. flag this Monday, raising Old Glory for the friend he lost Friday morning.
Ambrose said he found the 58-year-old Williams dead in his apartment Friday – an apartment Williams had moved into only 2 months ago. According to other vets, Williams was well known in the homeless community who was often at a nearby Safeway store, collecting cans. Now, a makeshift altar is set up in a vacant Laura Street building that Ambrose says was briefly used to hand out clothes to the homeless. Presco wants the memory of his best friend to live on. His dream is for a veterans “stand-down” center that bears the name of Hollis Williams. Ambrose said he wants to copy “stand-downs” held in Lane, Douglas and surrounding counties, to connect vets with mental health services, haircuts, job training and more. “We got to let our veterans know that they haven’t fought in vain and that we care for them,” Ambrose said. He said he doesn’t know where he’ll find the support or how long it will take – but to remember his longtime friend, he won’t give up easily. “I suffered some homelessness and abandonment and stuff like that,” Presco said, “so I’m not going to abandon my friend.” The property and house on Laura Street is being sold, so locating a center there is unlikely. Presco said that’s the kind of layout he’s looking for. Services for Hollis Williams will be next Sunday 1:30 p.m. at Campbell Senior Center in Eugene
On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
Exodus 13:3
Moses said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of slavery; for by a powerful hand the LORD brought you out from this place And nothing leavened shall be eaten.
“But I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you to go, except under compulsion. “So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and after that he will let you go.
Everything is lining up! Nixon wanted Mark Hatfield to run as his VP. If that had happened, Mark would be the First President from Oregon. No citizen ever cast a vote for Gerald Ford for president or vice president. Coe – was right there! Is he the inspiration for the tune Trump plays at his rellies?
Hatfield was on Nixon’s short list of running mates at the subsequent Republican convention. Evangelist Billy Graham, close to both men, went to bat for Hatfield. But Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina was adamant he didn’t want the liberal Oregonian. Nixon hinted in his memoirs that he never seriously considered Hatfield.
Throughout his long Senate career, Hatfield repeatedly opposed defense spending and urged the country to focus on combating world hunger, poverty and illness. As a well-known Christian evangelical who often spoke to religious groups, Hatfield was a beacon for many who believed their faith called them to oppose war and to care for those in need.
Hatfield cut short his graduate education and returned to Oregon to teach at
, where he eventually became dean of men. While at Willamette, Hatfield said he turned from what had been a religion of habit into a true Christian. Hatfield said he was inspired by the faith of a student, Doug Coe, who became the leader of The Fellowship, a behind-the-scenes Christian group in Washington, D.C., that runs the National Prayer Breakfast and seeks to influence world leaders. Hatfield later became an important figure in the Fellowship.
When the late Doug Coe – Burleigh’s father-in-law and a long-time friend of Sen. Mark Hatfield – was the subtle, driving force at The Fellowship, Coe rarely granted interviews, believing publicity didn’t serve the Washington, D.C.-based ministry.
Burleigh first went to the former Soviet Union in 1965 on a national defense foreign language fellowship. He has returned time and again, starting Young Life in the Soviet Union, organizing “Jesus Conferences” in all 15 nations of that former republic and National Prayer Breakfasts in both Russia and Ukraine.
The Fellowship is often criticized because Coe, who grew up in Salem, and Burleigh would meet with tyrants and dictators like Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir, Somalia’s Siad Barre and Indonesia’s Suharto, often hosting them at The Cedars, a seven-acre estate in Arlington, Va. Burleigh was interviewed by the FBI about Maria Butina, who was convicted of being a Russian agent in the United States, and Alexander Torshin, both of whom attended the National Prayer Breakfast in 2017, a month after Donald Trump’s inauguration.
We just missed being hit by an astroid that I saw coming, and began a prophetic novel. I posted this two years ago. You will find the sign of the double eagle before it appeared behind POTUS. It does not make any difference if you nobodies call me a “lunatic”. They, and all the same people on the planet – will die at once – in the Terrible Day of the Lord!

When NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) slams into the tiny asteroid Dimorphos, it will be our first attempt to demonstrate our ability to deflect dangerous incoming asteroids.
The End of Days and Human History is upon us! Putin has sabotaged a pipeline in the Baltic – which is an act of war that will involve NATO. We are a member of NATO. He prepared for this strike by threatening to use nuclear weapons. I foretold all this in my Bond book ‘The Royal Janitor’ and in this blog. Herbert Armstrong also prophesized against Russia.
I would not have known about the Willamette Comet and the Rose Center if my newsfeed had not shown me the Renaming of Lane County. The last entry of my novel has Starfish running a race at Hayward Field where she…
I is too late to stage the first International Godzilla Run? Is there going to be a opening ceremony – with parade? On the first day they are going to have a hammer toss. How about the Bum’s Rush Toss, where bouncers from all over the world toss drunks out the door? How about the Hundred Yard Bum’s Rush, where panhandlers from all over the world chase folks with money?
Check out the shifty-eyed dude in the video above. Has he been oppressing the free press like I have been – oppressed?

GO GOD-ZILLA! GO ZARDOZ!
P.S. There will be The Ugly Evil Penis Costume Contest, with a All Girl Chase in order to bring back those Good Ol Frat Boy Days! I want Jim Belushi to be the MC.
P.S.S. Someone just informed me John Madden wrote ZARDOZ after Elfish Wood Saviors took him on a sacred Mushroom Hunt! Wow! Was John doing psychedelics – years before Kesey? Is it possible John lead the way – and turned Ken on to shrooms? Wow! This investigator reporter – is hot on the trail – of The Lost Truth! No wonder why he was able to outrun Bailey!
Well, I just picked a fight with quite the unstable psychopath. May not have been the most sensible thing to do, but it should definitely get interesting…
I am now going to author a book, with a movie in mind titled………..
THE GODZILLA RUN
It’s about a small town that listens to a Mad Man who suggests they stage a Godzilla Run to boost the Arts and General Culture of a very hip town in Oregon, named Aliceland after Lewis Carrol who camped on the town site with The Poet of the Sierras, Joaquin Miller. They had met at the home of Dante Gabriel Rossette, the Pre-Raphaelite.
My Godzilla Run takes place in Alton Baker Park. We purchase a giant float of Godzilla, and place giant speakers along the run. When the wee people hear his roar, and see him coming above the trees, they start running for their lives – with glee! I found the top photo in the news this morning. This image is perfect! This Visionary thanks you – Great Muse!
“Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!”
George Miller platted Aliceland, an experimental city that made its grand entry into the ‘City Beautiful Movement’. It was considered the most progressive city on the West Coast, until a board was formed to plan The Godzilla Run – event. To everyone’s surprise, Marilyn Reed, the president of the Little Old Lady Gospel Choir wielded most of the power in Aliceland, and, she was on a – MISSION FROM GOD – ZILLA!
“THIS KIND OF THING GOES AGAINST OUR MISSION AND WE WILL PROTECT OUR MISSION STATEMENT BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY.”
What emerges, is Aliceland is a haven for bigoted racists of all color, who own really backward ideas, and, if anyone gets in their way, they are going to receive a death threat. The State of Oregon is shocked. These politically correct folks look like old hippies, young anarchists, and cool Jazz Men, but, in their heart they own much hatred for New Ideas especially when they are GREAT IDEAS.
“We only want small, puny ideas in our town! We want things to fail. That’s why we gave the Homeless Hoard of Whoville carte blanch to hold a faux Art-In at Ken Kesey Square, every Friday. That’ll keep out the real Artists – darn damn it!
You see, the alleged Bohemians of Aliceland have been waging covert cultural warfare with one another for twenty-five years. There are only so many Music Gigs, and Art in the Park events – to go around. Aliceland has it Hatfields and McCoys. If you are not a member of an Extended Family, you are going to find yourself sitting on a pole outside city limits, all tar and feathered. The real hip folks are quietly moving to Springtucky the neighboring town once famous for Redneck Loggers that are now gone.
“Please! Do not tell the others you are here! Can we buy you some empty canvases?”
Mad John finds himself on a collision course with Marilyn Reed, who found Jesus again, and is wanting to replicate the Religious Bliss she experienced when she was sixteen. Her mother took her to three Billy Graham meeting at the Los Aneles Coliseum – with her boyfriend, John. Mother and Daughter expected John to go down and be saved. After he excused himself to go to the bathroom, he never returned! When she called his home the next day, his sister told Marilyn John has joined the Peace Corp and is in the Land of Zulus helping them build a reservoir. Not believing a word Christine Rosamond said, she went to John’s house, and knocked. When the door opened, Rosemary thrust a bloody crucifix in Marilyns’ face, and hissed;
“This is a Catholic household. Go away – and stay away – you brazen Baptist hussy!”
John really did go to the Land of the Zulu to work for his uncle Vinnie who sold construction supplies. He dropped out of high school, but his uncle had a plan to get his nephew a honorary diploma, and, a scholarship to UCLA – as a anthropologist. Together they wrote reports on the Shembe Zulu Nazarites. They published;
‘Notes of a New Nazarite – Life Amongst Zulu Prophets’
by
Vincent Rice, and, John Presco
University High School received a copy, and John was sent his diploma. However, John dropped out of UCLA, and moved to San Francisco to live with his childhood friend, Nancy, the first girl he ever kiss. They were good friends of Stanley Augustus Owsley. John forgot who he was for fifty years. Marilyn had put John ‘The Betrayer of God’ out of her mind.
One day she is driving past Ken Kesey Square and spots a dirty old white bearded, creep, putting the make on a young pretty homeless girl, name Belle Burch. She was about to stop the car, and come to her rescue, but, then she sticks her tongue out at the pervert, and they laugh. Marilyn’s heart breaks, for she knows that laugh. It is the Mad Laugh of her old boyfriend who disappeared in the Land of the Zulu…..so long ago! A Star is born!
This, is Mad John, who lost all credibility when he reported seeing giant moth eggs in in the Drackenberg mountains when he went back to his beloved Zulu People to be ordained a True Prophet because he has been spreading the teaching of Shembe – all over the world! He was taken to a giant nest by Japanese twins, who are like pixies. It was later ruled John was Pixielated – and quite insane. He couldn’t get his mind off these little girls. Where did they come from? Thank heavens they are in the good hands of the Zulu, and not chained in the bedroom of some porn movie maker.
When John shared his idea for The Godzilla Run with Kathy Vrzak, where he wanted members of his tribe to come to America and do a Zulu Dance, Kathy became jealous and began working on her own African Culture show.
John picks up the Zulu Warriors at the airport in an old hippie bus. His beloved Zulu have a message for John from their chief prophet.
“Come home, John. There are cracks in the egg. Whatever is inside, is about to hatch.”

Krista, it is only fair that I make you aware of a very edgy situation because you asked not to be involved in controversy. I notice Anand Hotham-Keathly is on the planning committee. There son’s girlfriend approached me over a year ago, and took my number. She called me ten days later, the rest is a novel in itself. Belle offered to edit my biography for a fee and model for me in exchange for a bicycle I gave her. In the two hour get to know each other chat, she did not tell me she had got arrested four days earlier. I am a creative being. I do not want you to be in the middle of this. I have offered to arbitrate, but Belle and Alley did not want that. I am still open to this and rewriting history. For now, I think I will go it alone and push for my own celebration ‘The Godzilla Festival’. that wlll not compete with you. Eugene can handle two festivals. I can say this on the post you just made about me. I will wait for your response before I do.
Hi greg… quite frankly im sure qhat you are tellin me. Anands daughters’ arrest is of no consequence to me and I cant imagine how it matters to you…
I’m guessing…. she was arrested for solicitation before and then again with you?
About an hour ago, Krysta said I was unfit to be in her group. She states;
” You are literally an UN-medicated individual with ideas of grandeur.”
That sounds familiar! Where did I hear this?
Message I left on Kathy Vrzak’s FB.
Thanks! I am just in shock right how. I got to downsize my whole life.
JUL 23RD, 4:33PM I talked to Marilyn yesterday about the choir taking the next step. Then, the Kryista news broke. Niel Laudati asked for more of my ideas. I see a Willammete River Festival managed by the choir, and, Eric Richardson. Willamalane collects its own taxes.I got them over a barrel because this abuser site was used against me at a event. I see Eric being Activites Manager for Civic Events. The Choir has performed at several celebrations. You own tradition and integrity that is sorely needed. I an my newspaper is a threat. I want to be in YOUR parade as The Wild & Crazy Big Ideas Guy’ in a cage, and brought down from the mountain every year. Only the Choir could capture & tame me. https://rosamondpress.com/2016/07/23/krysta-albert-john-monroe-racists/
Krysta Albert & John Monroe – Racists! Here is what John Monroe posted on facebook. I showed this to Krysta. “His desire to demonstrate his superior masculinity is linked to obvious male socialization patterns. Cf. Oregon Duck rap…rosamondpress.com
“Back in December, after Natriana Shorter, who is African-American, won the crown for Miss Oregon, Albert commented on a KEZI news story that, “I know this is going to sound racist and it’s not my intention. But I can’t help but think it’s awfully strange that a woman of color would represent [the] state of Oregon. The state that has one of the smallest amount of minorities of any race compared to other states. And yes, she is very beautiful.”
“Are you aware there is a website listing you as sexual offender?”
This was the message I got from Krysta Albert the organizer of the Eugene Festifal, that replaced the Eugene Celebration run by members of the Ken Kesey family. Krysta had asked me to be on her board, and let me inside. When I saw Anan Holtham-Keathly ‘The Queen Mother of Eugene’ was on the board, I felt obligated to inform Krysta of the trouble I had had with Belle Burch and her anarchist friends. Her lover at the time was Ambrose Holtham-Keathly who appear in a leather jacket in this video. Belle approached me, took my number, called me, and arranged a meeting where she concealed her identity, the truth she was arrested with Ambrose and his friends. Belle told me I was forbidden to write about all the Holtham-Keathleys who love to appear in all our cities media. How to deal with the Homeless is like trying to figure out what to do with Godzilla who is shitting all over your downtown.
“As long as they do not cause any damage or promote any hostility to me or my family, then I really don’t mind if someone is camping in the field across the way,” says neighborhood resident Michael Erickson.”
You can’t make this shit up! As I type CNN is talking about the U.S. going to war with North Korea over their cyber-hacking and terrorist threats to folks who go see the movie ‘The Interview’. My novel ‘The Gideon Computer’ may end in a nuclear showdown! May Hollywood folks have failed to back Sony lest they get targeted!
I had made the comment that the Kesey family could stand the competition, and Krysta told me she does not want to upset the Keseys, or get into any drama – that could hurt her business! I decided to spare her, and told her about Belle. At first she told me Anand Holtham-Keathley did not know me. I told Krysta to run Jon by her instead of Greg. That’s when Krysta was shown the preditor site by Anand. This is Cyber Stalking!
So, I go to the site that Krysta is speaking of, and I am reading the exact same words that Alley Valkerie posted on Mayor Kitty Piercy’s Facebook – that were taken down. She must have gone to this Eugene City site that says you must have permission of the victim to make a report. Did Belle Burch give Alley permission, or, are we looking at the kind of shit the invisible hackers are doing to Sony? If you do not do what they say, they will embarrass you, make your life impossible, and even scary for you! Does this apply to those who continue to associate with you?
All of a sudden, I can not access the Festival board site, am unfriended by Krysta Albert, and the Eugene City page where I posted my ideas of the Godzilla Festival, that if Godzilla willing, will be held at the end of my movie ‘Capturing Beauty’.
I have been banned and shutdown in Eugene, a town known for being a refuge for old hippies and Bohemians. Krysta expressed concern her business may be hurt. Movie theater owners are not going to show Sony’s movie on Christmas Day the day the Crucified One – was born! Consider the cock crowing thrice, and Saint Peter denying he knows Jesus. Alley and Belle tried to get the Whiteaker Council to denounce me and label me a sex fiend. Anand had served on the council.
My idea was to have a giant rope tug-of-war, a Dragon Boat Festival, and a Runaway from Godzilla, run, like the running of the bulls, with big Japanese drums pounding away! This would all take place near, and on the Mill Race down by the Cuthbert Amphitheater. Now, my creative vision, is toast, just like Alley Valkerie promised. The power she owns over our elected officials has just grown more powerful!
In my movie ‘Capturing Beauty’ I am inside a big blown up balloon made in the image of Godzilla. Before me are screaming children running for their lives – with glee – from the monster of Eugene! Suddenly, Belle and her anarchists dressed as the boys from the movie ‘Lord of the Flies’ rush at me with sharpened sticks, and poke me repeatedly. Alas, they burst my bubble, and there I stand, defeated, shamed, and looking like the inner Darth Vader, the impotent white worm of a man.
I look at my beautiful Muse, and say this with tears in my eyes;
“It was beauty that killed the beast!”
As I walk away the anarchists wonder what I am talking about, they glad now that the old fart can no longer challenge them, their claim they have all the answers, and if we do not go along with them, they will scare you, destroy you.
After Alley Valkerie delivered her evil message that forbid to write in my blog about them, Belle called me on the phone, and insisted I do what they say. I told them I can not do that because Rosamond Press is a registered newspaper in Lane County, and I owe it to my peers not to cave to threats and blackmail. I told her my newspaper was founded “for the protection of the arts”. I just heard the Commander in Chief is calling for a decisive response. Homeland Security has been alerted. I might send them a letter.
WE ARTISTS are under attack by a monster we never had to deal with on this level, before. I knew this monster when it just hatched, it laid out the ass of Ms. Alley. Then Belle came and sat on it while her anarchist klan whooped and danced around her.
In this scene from the movie ‘The Muse’ we are tickled that a Muse is not who we expect her to be. She has made several writers famous. Like Genies, you have to be careful of what you wish for. What the grand muse may have delivered is a Korean version of the Wizard of Oz, where inside the Godzilla suit is a rolly-polly dictator that looks like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Never before in history has a dictator taken over a creative endeavor in a democracy. Belle and Alley have helped create a real monster!
I suggest Sony release ‘The Interview’ on the internet, on Christmas Day, for free! There will be an intermission where viewers are bid to give to the poor, the hungry, and the disenfranchised. A image of our Nation’s Muse will be shown……giving Korea ‘The Bird’.

I never knew or heard of Alley until she sent me this personal message. She then posted on Kitty Piecy’s FB an obscene slander.
“Facebook message from Alley Valkerie
“I’m going to make this very simple for you. I don’t know if you know who I am, but I sure as hell know who you are, and when you fuck with my friends, you fuck with me. Stop writing about Belle or I am going to make your life very difficult. I mean it. If I see one more word about her on your blog, your FB, or anywhere else, I will make sure that you experience all the fear and discomfort that she is experiencing right now. And no, this isn’t a physical threat, so don’t try to play victim. Frankly, I encourage you to contact EPD, as they already know all about you. I will not do anything illegal, but mark my word you will regret it if you write one more word about her. I will make sure that the entire community knows exactly how much of a sick fuck you are. Your picture, your name, and “samples” of your writing will be posted on every bulletin board in town. There will not be a single person in the Eugene/Springfield area who won’t know that you’re a sick stalker who won’t leave a stalker who won’t leave a young girl alone. Cut it out. Now. This is your first, last, and only warning.”
Alley Valkerie on facebook message.
“Please, go ahead and blog my threat. You have no fucking idea what you’re getting yourself into You also have no idea how many people are already on to you, and how many people have my back. We also have six other mutual friends who are going to learn about your behavior ASAP And just so you know as well: if you write anything about me that could be construed as defamatory, you will be hearing from my lawyers ASAP.”

Anyone who deliberately makes women feel unsafe should not be tolerated in this or any community.”
WASHINGTON — American intelligence officials have concluded that the North Korean government was “centrally involved” in the recent attacks on Sony Pictures’s computers, a determination reached just as Sony on Wednesday canceled its release of the comedy, which is based on a plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader.
Senior administration officials, who would not speak on the record about the intelligence findings, said the White House was still debating whether to publicly accuse North Koreaof what amounts to a cyberterrorism campaign. Sony’s decision to cancel release of “The Interview” amounted to a capitulation to the threats sent out by hackers this week that they would launch attacks, perhaps on theaters themselves, if the movie was released.
Professor John von Bond took Victoria and Miriam to his mountain home up the McKenzie River, and through his telescope, looked at the green comet. It was coming their way – and was much larger than expected! It was putting on quite show.
“The Germans really owe us!” Johann von Bundhorst said, he alas revealing his true identity, and sharing images of the family estate in Germany.
“I knew you were a Kraut!” Starfish shouted for joy, she pleased as punch her intution was working – regardless of how much smoke Mr. Bund blew up her ass!
“Who do you mean by “we”?” Victoria inquired.
“Sit down. I have put together a slideshow! Have you heard of The Jay Treaty””
“I heard my parents talk about it before they got blown up by our butane tank!” offered Starfish. “It’s why we started wearing Native American apparel.”
“O.K. Now we are getting somewhere. Did you hear them talk about the comet?”
“Yes! They talked about it and The Coming American Messiah – who might be a Native American – or a half-breed! He – or she – appeared when the Willamette Meteorite was first seen/ Or, at least the linage.’
“Are – you a candidate for the American Messiah?” Professor Bundhorst asked, and Victoria watched her wife – blush!
“Answer the question”. John Bund demanded, he seeing an opening in the mind game he and Starfish have been playing – since they met!
“Yes! My mother is Scot-Irish. She claimed she was ca cousin of Princess Diana, who the Windsors accused of going Native on them. Now they accuse Prince Harry of the same thing! It makes me mad. She and my father followed the Royal Stuart Line – that was broken when William and Mary failed to have Issue. They had theory – they did born a child – who was whisked away to America, the Willamette Valley, to be exact! They said…..”The Willamette War, will never be over!”
Victoria’s eyes dug deep into her wife, who lowered her eyes. It was clear she had held back the core of her being, and was having a melt-down. then there are those missing hours when she went to the Knight Library. Did she meet someone?
“What did you mean by “The Germans owe us?”
“I mean, the Germans have controlled the West ever since the reign of the House of Hanover, and when William of Orange became King of England. The United States fought the German Royals in two world wars. They are holding back their Leopard Tanks to see if the Neo-Confederates in the Republican party – take total control – and sign a peace treaty with Russia. Did you know Czar Alexander signed a treat with Lincoln. Have you heard of The Swan Brethren?”

On September 22, 2022 I another historic-fiction novel titled ‘The Second Coming of Aunt Gooby’.Gooby is inspired by Betsy Johnson who was a candidate for Governor – and was backed by Phil Knight who got involved in a anti-Semitic myth that has appeared in several books that mention the Knight Templars. Along with Christine Drazen, these female candidates were doing a ‘Mayberry RFD’ revival that gave the impression there were Good White Roots in Oregon that we all should get back to.
I declared myself the Sheriff of Brownsville that is in my story of The Green Comet. Brownsville is ground zero for a nuclear attack my China, Russia, and Little Rocket Man.

The use of a MacGuffin as a plot device predates the name MacGuffin. The Holy Grail of Arthurian legend has been cited as an early example of a MacGuffin. The Holy Grail is the desired object that is essential to initiate and advance the plot. The final disposition of the Grail is never revealed, suggesting that the object is not of significance in itself.[8]
The “Maltese Falcon” statuette from the film of the same name
The World War I-era actress Pearl White used the term “weenie” to identify whatever object (a roll of film, a rare coin, expensive diamonds, etc.) impelled the heroes, and often the villains as well, to pursue each other through the convoluted plots of The Perils of Pauline and the other silent film serials in which she starred.[9] In the 1930 detective novel The Maltese Falcon, a small statuette provides both the book’s title and its motive for intrigue.
The name MacGuffin was coined by the British screenwriter Angus MacPhail.[10] It has been posited that “‘guff’, as a word for anything trivial or worthless, may lie at the root”.[11]
It’s a reset of what has come to be known as the Doomsday Clock, a decades-long project of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists featuring a clock face where midnight represents Armageddon.
The Williamite War in Ireland (1688–1691; Irish: Cogadh an Dá Rí, “war of the two kings”),[4][5] was a conflict between Jacobite supporters of deposed monarch James II and Williamite supporters of his successor, William III. It is also called the Jacobite War in Ireland, Williamite Conquest of Ireland, or the Williamite–Jacobite War in Ireland.
The immediate cause of the war was the Glorious Revolution of 1688, in which James, a Catholic, was overthrown as king of England, Ireland and Scotland and replaced by his Protestant daughter Mary and nephew and son-in-law William, ruling as joint monarchs. James’s supporters initially retained control of Ireland, which he hoped to use as a base for a campaign to reclaim all three kingdoms. The conflict in Ireland also involved long-standing domestic issues of land ownership, religion and civic rights; most Irish Catholics supported James in the hope he would address their grievances. A small number of English and Scottish Catholics, and Protestants of the Anglican established Church in Ireland, also fought on the Jacobite side,[6][7] while most Irish Protestants supported or actively fought for William’s regime.
The Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, Between His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, commonly known as the Jay Treaty, and also as Jay’s Treaty, was a 1794 treaty between the United States and Great Britain that averted war, resolved issues remaining since the Treaty of Paris of 1783 (which ended the American Revolutionary War),[1] and facilitated ten years of peaceful trade between the United States and Britain in the midst of the French Revolutionary Wars, which began in 1792.[2] The Treaty was designed by Alexander Hamilton and supported by President George Washington. It angered France and bitterly divided Americans. It inflamed the new growth of two opposing parties in every state, the pro-Treaty Federalists and the anti-Treaty Jeffersonian Republicans.
American Indian rights
Article III states, “It is agreed, that it shall at all times be free to His Majesty’s subjects, and to the citizens of the United States, and also to the Indians dwelling on either side of the said boundary line, freely to pass and repass, by land or inland navigation into the respective territories and countries of the two parties on the continent of America, (the country within the limits of the Hudson’s Bay Company only excepted) … and freely carry on trade and commerce with each other.” Article III of the Jay Treaty declared the right of Indians, American citizens, and Canadian subjects to trade and travel between the United States and Canada, which was then a territory of Great Britain.[25] Some legal experts dispute whether the treaty rights were abrogated by the War of 1812.[26] Nevertheless, the United States has codified this right in the provisions of Section 289 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 and as amended in 1965. As a result of the Jay Treaty, “Native Indians born in Canada are therefore entitled to enter the United States for the purpose of employment, study, retirement, investing, and/or immigration” if they can prove that they have at least 50% blood quantum, and cannot be deported for any reason.[27][28] Article III of the Jay Treaty is the basis of most Indian claims.[29] Unlike other legal immigrants, Canadian-born Native Americans residing in the US are entitled to public benefits and domestic tuition fees on the same basis as citizens.[27]

Arrest Trump, McCarthy, and Greene for sedition and terrorism!
We are seeing what the problem was in choosing the Speaker of the House. Some Republicans wanted to CONTINUE THE COUP and terrorize INNOCENT DEMOCRATS – who did not steal the election! McCarthy, Trump, and Greene – know eighty million Democrats Voters DID NOTHING WRONG, and are surprised they are not rioting in the street. Do they believe their Armed Bully Militias of God have made Democrats AFRAID, and thus – why stop the coup? This paragraph might get me in trouble, but, it can not be avoided. Real trouble – is here! China, North Korea, and Putin – REJOICE! This is Civil War!
Where are Republicans getting THE PERMISSION to be so violent, and ask for the overthrow’s of our Democracy? It can not be Democrats are TOO WOKISH! It has to becoming from Christian Leaders – in the beginning – but not anymore! They have to go along with THE MOB, lest they be singled out, and they lose their flock – AND TITHE! Donald Jesus is working their tithe! The King of New York Racketeers, has moved in on Their Holy Turf. Their Frankenstein Monster – has turned on them. Marjorie is…..The Bride of Donald Frankenstein!

EXTRA! Bragg got a death threat. Trump is going to Waco where David Koresh died after giving a interpretation of Revelations – which I am doing right now! I believe John the Baptist and his Levite kin-priests, wrote Revelations. I discourage all violence!.
The FBI and NYPD are investigating a letter containing a death threat and white powder that was mailed to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose office is investigating former President Donald Trump, law-enforcement sources told NBC News.
The letter was addressed to Bragg and said, ““ALVIN: I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!” the sources said. It contained a small amount of white powder.
There were no evacuations or injuries, officials said.
(Truth Social)
Mr Trump has repeatedly denied any sexual relationship with Ms Daniels.
But critics were quick to point out the Truth Social post featuring Mr Bragg and demanding that action be taken against Mr Trump.
“Trump has today issued repeated stochastic terrorist calls for his cult to “remove” the “animal” Alvin Bragg – and use a baseball bat,” tweeted former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann.
And he added: “He’s trying to get this man killed. Period. Enough.”
“Threatening a prosecutor is a crime in NY. In fact MULTIPLE crimes: Harassment in the first degree NYPL 240.25; menacing in the second degree NYPL 120.14; stalking in the fourth or third degree NYPL 120.45 & 120.50 And that’s just for starters….” he tweeted.
Mr Trump’s post came as Mr Bragg’s office blasted House Republican chairs of the House Judiciary, Oversight, and Administration committees, who sent a letter claiming the investigation was an “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority.”
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office general counsel Leslie Dubeck called the letter sent by the chairmen on 20 March “an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution”.
“The Letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry,” she added.
Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene demanded on Wednesday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg be jailed for “prosecutorial misconduct” related to his investigation of former President Donald Trump.
“Now it’s time to arrest Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for prosecutorial misconduct after hiding hundreds of pages of exculpatory evidence!” Greene (R-Ga.) wrote in a tweet.
“Bragg is on the verge of indicting an innocent former President and top Presidential candidate against the opposing ruling party,” she added.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is working with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) to schedule a trip for members of Congress to visit the Washington, D.C., jail where Jan. 6 defendants are being held.
Greene, who has previously toured the jail where those charged with crimes relating to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack are held, is leading the effort.
A letter to start the process of scheduling the visit is expected to be released on Thursday, both Greene and Comer said. Greene added the letter will probably be addressed to “multiple people” so the group can “let them know that we’re coming.”
Comer said that he is working with Greene on the letter just as he would with any other member of his committee on matters they are interested in.
“We’re going to be addressing the human rights abuse, such as the fact that they’ve been held in solitary confinement up to 23 hours a day, denied the ability to see their families,” Greene said, also alleging “non-working toilets” and issues receiving medical treatment.
Greene and some other Republicans have long decried the conditions at the D.C. facility and questioned why the defendants are being held without bail.
Last year, around three dozen Jan. 6 detainees requested to be transferred to the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alleging “black mold” in the facility and “worms” in their food.
Asked about the trip in a press conference on Wednesday, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said he did not know whether there would be a trip and turned focus to committees “looking at some of these agencies that abused their power.”
Greene accused the GOP of undermining the party’s capability of standing up for one of their own. “It feels like 2017 all over again,” the congresswoman wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
It’s official…..I am a proven prophet! My tormentors and accusers are guilty of getting the wrong man. Consider Barrabas!
“Give us Barrabas!”
Study these photos of myself and the little old lady next door off to Cowboy Church, with Jon Mellis who is using a stick to jab at the exposed neck of Capitol Police.
Barrabas means ‘son of the rabbi’ and denoted Jesus before the anti-Semitism of Paul. Joseph was probably a rabbi who took his son to be examined by the elders when he turned thirteen. They were astounded by his knowledge of the Torah. Jesus was part of the Jubilee Insurrection. There was no tradition of releasing a prisoner.
In this video made in August of 2019, I announce to a Pagan Queen I am the Anti-Christ in Revelations come to fulfil Christian Prophecy. Watch how the armed 3% ers push women from the back as they try to take over the podium. They hate free speech rights for others as Traitor Trump will prove later. Remember, Jesus was into converting pagans, and not upholding the power of rulers.
“Mellis takes the stick from the individual, and follows him toward the officers. Mellis can be heard saying ‘Knock their masks off’ before the body-worn camera shows Mellis’ hand – wielding the stick – come over the top of the first individual, striking at the officers who were protecting the entryway to the Capitol Building.”
The document alleges that Mellis is then seen “repeatedly striking and making stabbing movements towards the officers with the weapon in his hand.”
It accused Mellis of “attempting to strike the officers’ necks between their helmets and body-armor where they are not protected.”
Images, allegedly of Mellis at the riots, were included with the criminal complaint. They showed a man wearing a cowboy hat, holding a long weapon and appearing to hit officers.

Because of my age, and my health, and because there are signs in Heaven, I am bid to reveal the core of my study, that is being published in my newspaper, Royal Rosamond Press, that is providing my readers a front row seat to the real Second Coming, not of Jesus – but Noah!
Once again….I have come to prepare the way. As long ago, God created his Holy Ark in the Heaven in rder to carry His Chosen – to the New Promised Land!
The 1933[1][2] and 1946[2] Draconids had Zenithal Hourly Rates of thousands of meteors visible per hour, among the most impressive meteor storms of the 20th century
I was born October 8, 1946 two minutes after the sun set. An amazing star-shower was suddenly visible. The nurses in the maternity ward bid my mother to come to the window and look, but, was too spent having just delivered me.
Rosemary said she had a vision while she was giving birth to me, she telling herself she must not forget it. She forgot.
Rosemary named me after John the Baptist because she believed I was born on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. I was born three days after Yom Kippur.
When my Astrologer began her five hour (recorded) reading of my chart, she began with these words;
“Jon, I have never seen a chart like yours, never knew it was possible. It begins where all charts in theory begin, on the exact cusp of Pisces and Aries.. For this reason I had to move up the time of your birth ten minutes, or in theory, you were not born. As it is now, you barely escaped becoming a veritable prisoner in this lifetime, that is, all the information you came here to share.”
I believe I was born to die, and when I did, my clock was readjusted so my information could be set free. My astrologer said I am of the great Scorpion Scholars of the Biblical Wilderness who sting themselves in order to induce a near-death experience and behold the Creator, if only for a little while.
The large painting I did of Rena had her standing on a grassy hill after the sun had set and the evening sky was a rainbow with stars coming out in the thalo blue. There was a crescent moon cradling a star. Rena was wearing a thalo blue cape the color of Carla Bruni’s sweater. I painted stars along the edge. For two months I have been thinking of posting this photo, for the entity I saw was wearing a thalo blue robe and had jet black hair filled with tiny stars like diamonds.
My freed information needed the imput of female information. When our hands touched in the total darkness an amazing download began. It was and electrical experience.
Rena and I spent six weeks together. We never listened to a radio, watched TV.. or went to a movie. We had no friends. We had no electricity, and lived by candlelight. But what we did every night on our mountain top, was watch the sunset, and the gods paint the sky with stars. And then we went to be bed, and in each other’s arms we dreamt a dream of long ago. And we go wherever the stars took us that night.

The October Draconids, in the past also unofficially known as the Giacobinids, are a meteor shower whose parent body is the periodic comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. Almost all meteors which fall towards Earth ablate long before reaching its surface. The Draconids are best viewed after sunset in an area with a clear dark sky.
The 1933[1][2] and 1946[2] Draconids had Zenithal Hourly Rates of thousands of meteors visible per hour, among the most impressive meteor storms of the 20th century. Rare outbursts in activity can occur when the Earth travels through a denser part of the cometary debris stream; for example, in 1998, rates suddenly spiked[3][4] and spiked again (less spectacularly) in 2005.[5] A Draconid meteor outburst occurred[6] as expected[7][8][9] on 2011 October 8, though a waxing gibbous Moon reduced the number of meteors observed visually. During the 2012 shower radar observations detected up to 1000 meteors per hour. The 2012 outburst may have been caused by the narrow trail of dust and debris left behind by the parent comet in 1959.[10]
The Draconids get their name from the constellation Draco, the Dragon.
In 1933 and 1946, the Draconid outbursts were major – observers reported an astounding rate of 20,000 shooting stars an hour. An Irish astronomer described the 1933 episode like a flurry of snowflakes.
John the Baptist was older than his disciple, Jesus. When John died, he went to his tomb, and John resuscitated into the body of Jesus. This truth has been altered and hidden, but, because I AM John the Baptist, I can see The Truth.
Follow The Lies. Why would Jesus send a disciple to give John a message while he is alive – in jail – where no one had access to him. He is under arrest.
“I have come to see John. Jesus has a message for him!”
“So! Would you like to be under arrest – too?”
When John is beheaded, he is released to a relative. Jesus is John’s relative. They go to John’s tomb and John resuscitates into Jesus – who will later do this with the gardener. We see the transference of the Holy Spirit, not from the womb of Elizabeth, but from the Dove when Jesus is baptized by John – who prepared The Way for Jesus. He made his resuscitation heir. She will do the same on the cross. Who is at the cross? Mary Magdalene! She is the heir. She is going to be The Holy Wife of the Line of the Resuscitate! She will line up more women to receive a resuscitation. This is why Paul was hire to assassinated members of The Way. There were women walking about – with halos!
This is why we see so many paintings of Mary Magdalene looking at a skull. It is her skull! I could have written a book years ago. God bid me to wait for the Terrible Day of Betrayal. John came into my body when I died February 11, 1967. The rise of the Evil Christian-right was begging. These devils too over our Democracy, with Treason in their hearts. Satan-Trump is the embodiment of Saul-Paul who claimed he was a Apostle. He lied ten times a day. He went to foreign nations, to lie! He never stopped hunting down…….
“Let the number of my Nazariteships be as the hairs of my head, or as the dust-particles of the earth, or as the sands of the sea”
Twenty-seven years ago I had a reading at the Berkeley Psychic Institute. The first thing I was told, was
“You died!”
I was also told this;
“People come into your being and take, take, take! You are powerless to stop them. I can’t see why.”
I was told I had two children. This is when I looked at my attempt to save Patrice and her children. Patrice and her family have been coming into my being via my daughter in order to take my Healing Energy – without having to do any work to save themselves. I was their Slave-Redeemer.
It is said King David was with the Philistines, and was their vassal. Did they adopt his Lord and His religion, for a little while – and corrupt it? Did they alter the Message in order that God sere them – as their slave?
When John the Baptist was born he was whisked away to a foreign land. Why? All thru the Diaspora Jews were taking the Vow of the Nazarite before they made a pilgrimage to the Temple. John was preparing their way, cleansing them of sins they picked up in heathen lands. John wanted them to behold THE LORD, not the son of the lord, but THE FATHER.
Satan-Paul confronts twelve disciples of John in Ephesus, who he claims were not baptized in the Nazarite Holy Spirit, and proceeds to do the job. James, the brother of Jesus, bid Paul to take the Vow of the Nazarite to prove he was not spreading a false teaching. Paul failed the test and was arrested and taken to Rome where he was beheaded. Jesus was a Nazarite after John, and was a mortal.
I have seen the coming of ‘The Terrible Day of our Lord’. For weeks our President has been trying to gather a collective force to fight ISIS. The remains of John the Baptist are in the great mosque in Damascus where the Nazarite Church was chased by Satan-Paul. This church had restored the Rule of Judges and summoned God’s Champion. Here is ‘The Rebirth of Samson.
Above we see two photos of me taken by my late sister. She wanted me to be her first male portrait. When she developed them, she was startled to see these strands of energy that surrounded me. These are the Strands of Angel Hair that have protected me, kept me from harm. My sister’s saw this angel standing at the foot of the bed, as did the old crone up the street. This angel came into my life when I was dying of whopping cough. I saw a bright blue light come from the womb of my Aunt June when she kissed me good night. June Rosamond married Vincent Rice. They saw me as their child.
I am a anti-Zionist for the reason the State of Israel was not founded by Divine Redeemers, but by secular terrorists. I subscribe to Reform Judaism that is a Divine Diaspora. In the name of John and Samson, I bid Jews int eh Diaspora to take the Vow of the Nazarite, and in Spirit join forces against ISIS! Women could take the Vow of the Nazarite. There were women Judges and Redeemers, such as Deborah.
In our Presidents call for a coalition, why does not Israel answer this call, and come fight alongside Arabs and Muslim against the enemy of God? Consider the story of Gideon. This Jewish force can come from ‘The United States of America’. I will clarify this possibility in coming posts.
Rabbinical literature identifies Samson with Bedan;[6] Bedan was a Judge mentioned by Samuel in his farewell address (1 Samuel 12:11) among the Judges that delivered Israel from their enemies.[19] However, the name “Bedan” is not found in the Book of Judges.[19] The name “Samson” is derived from the Hebrew word “shemesh”, which means the sun, so that Samson bore the name of God, who is called “a sun and shield” in Psalms 84:11; and as God protected Israel, so did Samson watch over it in his generation, judging the people even as did God.[6] Samson’s strength was divinely derived (Talmud, Tractate Sotah 10a).[6][20]
For a week we have been hearing the threat of Nuclear War. Do you hear any major Christian leaders responding to the terror – THE TERRORISM – from Russia? If Herbert Armsrong were alive – he’d be all over this FEAR – like he was in 1945.
On October 15, 2019 I declared I was the End Time Elijah because I believed – I COULD SEE THE FUTURE – and it did not look good. I was right. Have my enemies found this post, and thus I will not be the next Governor of Oregon? Will there be a State House – and Governor’s mansion? Where is my reward – if I speak the truth?
Sinner and Saint will die together in a Nuclear Holocaust. It seems only the Secular World – cares.
John
P.S. Five minutes after I posted this, I beheld the rock in the painting above Armstrong’s head. This is a SIGN. I believe I beheld God near this rock.
Where are we in Bible prophecy? A lot of people are asking this and related questions amid disease pandemic, mass unemployment, economic fragility, food insecurity and other problems affecting literally billions of people.
Was Herbert W. Armstrong the Final Elijah? Dear Teachers in Training:
There are still those who honor Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong today, yet who remain unconvinced he was the prophesied end-time Elijah. Clearly, the Bible says such a man is to come, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord” (Mal. 4:5). But was Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong the final Elijah, or should we look for another?
The greatest contradiction in the Bible is whether Jesus said John was Elijah. How then can the Bible be the irrefutable Word of God? How could God’s alleged Son – get it wrong – or, be so evasive? Only I got it right after studying both books of the Bible. ONLY I SAW THE TRUTH.
The infant John was sat in Elijah’s Chair and asked if he was Elijah. He said he was. Why would Pharisees ask if John was Elijah – when he was a adult? They must have heard he was speaking when eight days old. This was broadcast throughout the land. His father sang Hannah’s Song denoting he was a prophet after Samuel.
“Pharisees sent a delegation to question him”
What bullshit! They would be honored to come themselves. This QUESTIONING by Pharisees is VERY SUSPECT. Is it really – HOSTILE? What is the controversy they want to put an end to? They – I mean the delegation – did a lousy job! Send – another! This is about Prophets of God. GET IT RIGHT! If I can get it right – then real men of God today can get it right? NO! There is talk about THE END OF THE WORLD!
“One wishes for a more satisfying answer than ignorance on John’s part, however. Such an answer is available through careful comparison of the relevant texts.”
Many Christians believe Jesus – is God! How come the Living God couldn’t get THE CORRECT ANSWER? Is this the dude who is going to destroy the whole world for the sake of a few believers? Why BELIEVE? Why – FAITH! Where is – THE TRUTH? THINK!
“On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”
Did any group of men come to circumcise Jesus – AND GIVE HIM A NAME? Who gave his name – his mother and father? Were these men – PHARISEES? This is a coverup – folks! The Pharisees do not want to be implicated – after John is arrested!
As John the Baptist was preaching and baptizing, the Pharisees sent a delegation to question him about his identity and ministry. When John denied being the Messiah, his interrogators immediately asked, “What then? Are you Elijah?” John’s answer was simple and straightforward: “I am not” (John 1:21). This would seem to settle the matter and put an end to any controversy.
Later, however, Jesus said of John the Baptist: “He is Elijah who is to come” (Matt 11:14). This seeming contradiction naturally puzzles Bible believers and gives Bible critics an opening to attack the Scriptures. Is John Elijah or isn’t he?
Theoretically, it’s possible that John wasn’t fully aware of his identity in God’s redemptive program. After all, Jesus’ statement about John comes in the context of responding to John’s struggles concerning Jesus’ own identity (Matt 11:2-3). One wishes for a more satisfying answer than ignorance on John’s part, however. Such an answer is available through careful comparison of the relevant texts.
I put it out of my mind that I had died. My coming back was horrendous. It all came back when I had a reading at the Berkeley Psychic Institute in 1987. I sat in a chair facing two Readers. There was a guide in the back of the room. A young woman was agitated. The guide asked her what is wrong.
“It’s his mother. She’s right here in my face. She doesn’t want us to read her son.”
“Put up a white shield of light!……………………Make that two!”
Rosemary knew I was carrying a spiritual issue the day I was born. The nurses beckoned her to the window to behold the amazing star shower. She told me she was too spent. I owned what she wanted. My mother would throw many devious obstacles in my way.
Note the narrow bridge over the eye. I had just read Tolkien’s Trilogy, and was reminded of Frodo’s climb to the top of Mount Modar. After my fall, my two friends had to carry me across this bridge. I was going into shock.
Yesterday, my friend Casey called me and I told him I was not in my body and had been astro-traveling to Oakland where I visited the homes of all my friends – who had died. There were hostile people. One man pulled a gun on me. I awoke in the middle of the night and removed the name of a helper and her dog because I believed I was under psychic attack. I read about the Russian threat. Then I found the long poem of my 9th. grandfather that speaks of the plague and the Spanish armada. John (Jack) is the person that wants to be in me right now. I told Casey my Walk-ins go way back and began at a early age. We talked about Jack London’s father being a medium and Tarot card reader.
The image of my ancestor was rendered – after he was exhumed from his grave -because no one thought to paint his portrait while alive. We have the same aquiline nose. That is the church he founded burning down. I am in Real Time. The Russians have made their Rasputin. This is why I made my helpers, Victoria Rosamond Bond, and Miriam Starfish Christling. They are my Spirit Guide and Spirit Protection.
No man of God, or theologian – but I – can explain the event of the dead coming out of their graves – at the moment of the death of Jesus. This did not happen – when he was resurrected. Jesus had opened The Land of The Dead – so he could enter – and do holy work with the dead. I believe he was conducting a Baptism of the dead so they would be free of the sins they collected – while alive – so then could be citizens of The New Earth and Heaven – that the Puritans believed they were ordained to dwell in, be fruitful…..and multiply! I believe the holy ghosts of the Puritans wandered the American Wilderness as Holy Spirits. I call to them – and their horses! This is it! This is no dress rehearsal. It’s…….Show Time! The makers of Lord of the Rings, did not have the Dead Kings attack on horseback. Why?
While attending Serenity Lane in Eugene Oregon, getting help for my alcoholism, I heard there was going to be a meeting of Meher Baba Lovers from all over the world at a Seminary College in Portland. It was a three day event. When it came time to have lunch in the cafeteria I found an empty table, I thought. After taking a bite of my food, I looked up to see three gentleman standing over me. They wanted to say they were sitting there, but, ended up staring at me.
After being seated, one of them asked me;
“What do you do to make yourself look so much like Meher Baba?”
I put down my fork and responded to gentleman with the big mustache, and, who looked like Baba himself;
“I molded a plastic mask of the Avatar and strap it on each night. It is painful, but, it does the trick! Now, tell me your secret.”
This morning my Angel told me this upon waking;
“Google Rick Chapman. You missed something Jon.”
I found out that Rick and others were called the “Baba-boys” by the Avatar of the Age who wanted these boys to spread his anti-LSD and drug message. After my death on a massive dose of LSD on McClure’s Beach, two days later I was bid to take another dose so I could come back into my body. A group of people were waiting for me in the next room. They were members of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. When I spoke to them, I said this;
“I am going to take this drug from you and dilute it in the ocean.”
This was February 1967. I was a original Hippies. I spread my anti-LSD and Marijuana message to all those who were close to me. I was not aware that my DNA carried a message that rendered all members of my natal family, alcoholics – and insane! The loss of my daughter and grandson, and the wanton destruction of my Rosy Family Tree that I recovered from oblivion, is proof we are being driven insane.
A half hour ago I watched a video that ISIS made. It shows a British journalist giving a MESSAGE to the world, claiming he does this of his own free will, and not because there is a gun pointed at his head. This is the epitone of Madness.
When I died, I saw God and His Liberating Truth. I will speak of this event not to make you Believe, or have Faith or Religion, but that you be grounded in your divine creation, in a heaven that lie at your feet. You were born in His image. You have the right to brush your fingers across the horizon of the sea, and whisper…….”I am!”
In the photo of me above you will see strands of energy around me like angel hair. This energy has protected me for many years. Guns have been put to my head, the trigger pulled, but, these weapons jammed! A month after my death I beheld a picture of Baba on the wall of our commune, and went into a deep trance. I saw that we suffered in similar ways.
There is the claim that Evangelicals are being persecuted by secular society. Ministers tell their flocks this is true, come Sunday. But, is it true?
Here is proof that my Puritan ancestor oppressed the Quakers – to their death. John Wilson was born at Windsor Castle and lived near Frogmore Estate where the new infant born unto the House of Windsor, is being breast-fed by his mother.
“The couple are now living in Windsor, at the house they have refurbished on the Frogmore Estate,” reports ITV. “The Sussexes wanted to be settled in their new home before their baby is born.”
Rosamond Clifford and Reverend William Wilson Posted on July 10, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
When Princess Diana’s sons got married, the bones of my grandfather were not too far away, they buried in the floor of Saint George’s Cathedral. Sarah Wilson was the wife of John Roseman. Sarah is kin to Reverend William Wilson, who is Royal Rosamond’s 10th. grandfather. This line goes to Rosamond Clifford. Alas I have found her! We are in the same rosy family tree, and is the famous Puritan, John Wilson. I was destined for the church. It is in my blood. I have been saying this all along.
William, his son John, and I have the long faces with aquiline noses. This is the oldest image of a relative. Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, should have played Fair Rosamond. The wife of Ralph de Toney was said to have had purple eyes.
Those who have known me well, know I have owned a religious calling most of my life. I was very ethereal as a child and young man. I wrote poetrty beyond my years, and developed my own brand of sprituality – but did not see myself as a Christian. I was raised Catholic.
John Wilson turned down many offers by artists to paint his portrait. He was too humble. The only image we have of him was taken from a sketch done at his funeral. He is an old man, and, he is dead. We share the same aquiline nose thanks to our DNA. John’s genetics came down to me via the Wilson family, and, Sarah Wilson, who married John Rosamond.
In the disappeared autobiography of my famous sister, the artist ‘Rosamond’ , she says I did not look like…
John the Baptist was born of the two priestly Levite lines. His father was of the linage of Moses, and his mother of Aaron. Gabriel appeared to his father when he was near the Ark, and another Angel appeared to John’s mother. These are the two Angels of the Ark of the Covenant that was brought out by the First Born Sons in accord with Reubenite Priesthood, that was altered when the Philistine’s captured the Ark and the Khorite Choir.
What they wanted was child to be born who knew UNALTERED TORAH. When John was eight days old, the ousted Nazarite Priests of Reuben came to ask John’s name. There is a argument among his parents as to what his name will be. Zachariah was ordered to remain silent around his unborn son, who was filled with the Holy Spirit while in his mother’s womb. It was believed John would speak PERFECT TORAH when born, meaning he would know what God had ordained, that was later altered. This was a Holy Recovery!
THE INFANT JOHN MADE SIGNS, and asked for a slate. He wrote his name, the name of his embodiment. He then spoke this name.
“My name is Reuben!”
As God is my witness! The Nazarite Judge gave his verdict – from the mouth of a babe! When King Herod heard of the miracle, he ordered the round-up of all THE FIRST BORN. This order was overridden by Rome. Herod gave the same order on his deathbed, and all THE FIRST BORN were herded into the hippodrome that he lined with archers. Again, the order was not given. However Saul-Paul the Herodian was hired by the offspring of Herod to hunt down ‘The First Born of Reuben’ and be done with this pesky priesthood, forever. Paul’s mission was a success, until this day, until this very hour!

The Koran has Jesus speaking the moment he is born. Why is there no mention of this miracle in the New Testament? There is, in the birth narrative of John the Baptist, but it has been altered and concealed. I have come to open your eyes, your ears, and your mouth to the Truth!
The Koran got it wrong! John was the second coming of Elijah preaching about the coming Judgement Day – that never came because John was beheaded.

“And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour) but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.”
“The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life. For many who were first will become, last, and they will become one and the same.
To this day, every Jewish child is put in `Elijah’s Chair’ to be circumcised on the eight day. Every Jewish male is a candidate for the Messiah at this age. The child is questioned by a Rabbi if he is the Messiah, or Elijah who will prepare the way for the Messiah.
Because John descend from the priestly lineage of Aaron, and because his father served in the temple, silence was observed around John –even before he was born – lest he hear from his mother’s womb, un- perfect Torah. For a priestly child knows perfect Torah just before he come from his mother’s womb, but, God touches the child’s lips just before he enters the world, and he forget all he knew. But, not in the case of the rebirth of Elijah, and the birth of the Messiah.
On the eight day God may break the seal He put upon the Chosen One’s lips, and a Child, who is least, will lead the Congregation.
Behold! the angels said “O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ (Maseeh) Jesus the son of Mary held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. “He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity and he shall be (of the company) of the righteous.” She said: “O my Lord! how shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?” He said: “Even so: Allah createth what He willeth; when He hath decreed a plan He but saith to it ‘Be’ and it is!
“And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom the Law and the Gospel.
I was born on October 8th. during an amazing star shower.

[63] He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.” [64] Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was loosed, and he began to speak, praising God. [65] The neighbors were all filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. [66] Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him. [67] His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
Every Jewish male born is a candidate for the SECOND COMING of Elijah. For this reason the eight day old child is circumcised in `Elijah’s Chair’. It was believed that while in the womb an angel teaches the unborn child the Torah, and just before birth, the angel touches the child’s lips with his forefinger, and the child forgets all knowledge of the Torah. But, this would not be the case with the return of Elijah who will emerge from his mother’s womb with perfect understanding of the Torah, not only in its written form, but in the spoken form known as the Talmud. It was for this reason Zachariah, the priest, took a vow of silence, and his wife and kin, as John’s parents are descended from Aaron and Moses, and thus the Levite priesthood. Elisheba is titled a “daughter of Aaron”. For the reason the Torah has been altered, and some very important meanings lost, it was concluded the only hope of SALVATION for the Lord’s chosen children, was the RESTORATION of the true Torah.
One has to inquire as to why priests would come to name Zachariah’s son. A child is usually named after a deceased relative. When the name John is given, a priest remarks “there is no one in your family with that name.” There is an argument of sorts, which is crucial, for I believe it is the newborn child WITHOUT SIN who names himself. I believe he SIGNED with his fingers, then wrote on a slate “I am Elijah”. This done, this child began to interpret Talmud, then prophesize.

Sometime between 39 and 40 CE, Caligula sent orders to Petronius, the governor of the Roman province of Syria. Petronius was to install the emperor’s image within the Temple of Jerusalem, using whatever military force was necessary to see his orders through.

Trump was supposed to have been arrested. How about Netanyahu?
Trump and Netanyahu have flirted with religious leaders about the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Does this involve the desecration and tearing down of the Temple of Human Justus? Apparently, because men like this always offer to bring GOD’S JUSTICE back to the people. They will claim they are the embodiment of God’s Justice Restored here on earth. For this reason – they are ABOVE THE LAW – and can do no wrong. They are literally – WITHOUT SIN!
John ‘Nazarite Judge’
Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene demanded on Wednesday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg be jailed for “prosecutorial misconduct” related to his investigation of former President Donald Trump.
“Now it’s time to arrest Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for prosecutorial misconduct after hiding hundreds of pages of exculpatory evidence!” Greene (R-Ga.) wrote in a tweet.
“Bragg is on the verge of indicting an innocent former President and top Presidential candidate against the opposing ruling party,” she added.
“What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country?” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post overnight.
Many Christian leaders and thinkers decried the attack on the Capitol, but few went as far as Moore; he laid the blame squarely at the feet of a man many evangelicals believe to be their hero: President Trump. “This week we watched an insurrection of domestic terrorists,” Moore wrote, “incited and fomented by the President of the United States.” When asked about that statement during an interview from his book-lined Brentwood, Tenn., home office a week later, he doubles down. “He called them to the rally. He told them that the future of our country was at stake, that the election had been stolen from him and that weakness could not be an answer,” Moore says. “And after the attack took place with our Vice President under siege, with people calling for him to be executed, the President continued to attack the Vice President on Twitter. It’s indefensible.”
Flags, Hate Symbols and QAnon Shirts: Decoding the Capitol Riot
In criticizing President Trump, Moore has diverged from such influential evangelicals as Franklin Graham, who compared Republicans who voted for Trump’s second impeachment to Judas Iscariot; Jerry Falwell Jr., who said he’d give Trump a third honorary degree if he were still head of Liberty University; and author Eric Metaxas, who devoted almost his entire Twitter feed after the election to increasingly bizarre and implausible conspiracy theories on the method by which it was stolen. Moore’s position differs even from that of the guy tipped to be the next head of the SBC, the Rev. Albert Mohler, who voted for Trump in 2020 and said–even after the events at the Capitol–that he’d do it again.
In Israel, Another Divisive Law on Another Day of Mass Protest
Story by Isabel Kershner • 45m ago
Israel’s Parliament passed legislation early Thursday that would make it more difficult to declare prime ministers incapacitated and remove them from office, a move that critics said was aimed at protecting the country’s leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption.
Under the legislation, the latest in a series of divisive bills pursued by the government, a sitting prime minister could only be declared incapacitated on physical or mental health grounds.
The bill, passed by a bare majority of 61 in the 120-seat Parliament, came just before tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets for another stormy day of protest against the government plan for a broad overhaul of the judiciary.
Opponents of the plan, which would give the government more control over judicial appointments and weaken the Supreme Court by severely restricting judicial review of legislation, say that it would subvert the country’s democratic system.
The bill passed on Thursday detailed more exactly the grounds upon which a prime minister could be removed. Previously, the law did not specify what constituted incapacity or the basis upon which incapacity could be declared, though it did imply that reasons other than health could be used.
The new bill takes the power of removal out of the hands of the attorney general and the court and puts it in the hands of Parliament. If a prime minister were unwilling to be removed from office, even temporarily, a vote of three-quarters of cabinet ministers and a supermajority of 80 lawmakers would be required.
Mr. Netanyahu went on trial in 2021 after his indictment on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
The attorney general has barred him from involvement in the plans for the judicial overhaul, citing a conflict of interest. Critics of the proposed judicial changes have accused Mr. Netanyahu of promoting them as a means of extricating himself from his legal troubles. Mr. Netanyahu has denied any such intentions.
The so-called incapacitation law is the latest in a slew of contentious legislation being advanced by Mr. Netanyahu’s three-month-old government — the most right-wing and religiously conservative in Israel’s history — and it is likely to be challenged in the Supreme Court. That could lead Israel closer to a constitutional crisis, and bring the government into direct confrontation with the courts.
The legislation passed on Thursday, an amendment to an existing law, is not part of the core package of the overhaul plan, but it is related.
Some opponents of the judicial overhaul have argued that Mr. Netanyahu is inherently in a conflict of interest because of his corruption trial and have called on the attorney general to remove him. There has been no indication that the attorney general intended, or even had the clear authority, to take any such action.
The new bill feeds the widespread public anger about the proposed judicial changes. The core of that legislation is aimed at giving the government more influence in the choice of new judges, and it would severely restrict the Supreme Court’s ability to strike down laws, practically ending judicial review, while allowing Parliament to override court decisions with a bare majority of 61.
Its supporters say change is essential to restore a correct balance of power between the elected government and an overactive judiciary that has granted itself increased authority over the years. Opponents say the proposed changes will remove any check on government power and any protection for minorities, and will lead to rule by the majority.
The planned day of protest on Thursday, which organizers called a day of “national paralysis,” involves a growing circle of Israelis from different walks of life. Thousands of demonstrators blocked major highways around the country. The police in Tel Aviv turned a water cannon on protesters who had blocked a main road for hours.
A group of surgeons protested by occupying helipads around the coastal town of Caesarea, where Mr. Netanyahu and his family have a luxury private home. The protesters marched in a circle with flags surrounded by large banners reading, “Fighting for democracy” and “One must resist dictatorship,” according to drone footage distributed by the demonstration’s organizers.
Elsewhere, navy veterans blocked an entrance to the port in Ashdod with burning tires, staff and retirees of Israel’s military industries protested outside a weapons manufacturer in northern Israel, and groups showed up outside lawmakers’ homes around the country and blocked access to a site near Ben-Gurion International Airport, where government ministers were scheduled to attend a ceremony.
Later Thursday, protesters planned to march to Bnei Brak, a Tel Aviv suburb predominantly inhabited by ultra-Orthodox Jews, in a move that could lead to clashes with the police or local residents. Ultra-Orthodox members of the government are vehement supporters of the judicial overhaul and have long despised the Supreme Court, which has struck down legislation aimed at formalizing mass exemptions of ultra-Orthodox men from obligatory military service.
Ancient Rome and Judea: Caligula and the Temple of Jerusalem
In the previous post, we looked at Caligula’s reception of Philo’sJewish Embassyin Rome. The meeting, documented by a Jewish grammarian, is invaluable as it provides one of the few non-Roman perspectives on the emperor Caligula, elsewhere portrayed as mad, bad, and dangerous-to-know.
Today’s post looks at another run-in between Caligula and the Jews under the Roman Empire. Specifically, it deals with Caligula’s attempt to erect a statue of himself in the Temple of Jerusalem, thus desecrating the symbolic centre of the Jewish Diaspora.
The Temple of Jerusalem, and within it the Holiest of Holies, lay at the symbolic heart of Judaism. It provided a focal point for the Jews, both at home in Judea and dispersed across the Jewish Diaspora. And it would continue to do so: physically until the Temple’s destruction in 70 CE – spiritually, we could argue, into the present age
Reconstruction of the Second Temple
Julius Caesar and Augustus, Caligula’s predecessors, had respected the Jews’ autonomy, allowing them to continue worshipping as long as they made token sacrifices to the emperor. Tiberius strayed from this permissive path, but not as much as Caligula, who seems to have taken the Jews’ refusal to recognise him as a god both personally and with ire
Jewish participation in the Imperial Cult
Before we look at Caligula’s attempt to desecrate the Temple, we should remind ourselves of the complicated relationship between the Jews’ freedom to worship and their participation in ’emperor worship’ (the imperial cult).
The first and most important thing to consider is that Judaism prohibits the worship of idols, not least those representing figures of power. A passage in the Mishnah (2nd/3rd century) censures the worship of statues holding anything in their hand, whether that be a bird, a staff, or a sphere (Abodah Zarah 3.1).
The Mishnah is rather ambiguous, though the common denominator of these objects is as symbols of power. It’s likely that the time the Mishnah was written, during the height of the Roman Empire, necessitated such ambiguity. But the Babylonian Talmud, which was written later, is more direct, singling out imperial statues made for worship as the idols to be avoided.
The Jews could offer sacrifices on an emperor’s behalf. They just couldn’t afford him the same honours as a god.
The difference is crucial and was the source of contention between Caligula and the Jews. Indeed, when Philo met Caligula during his embassy, he assured the emperor that nobody excelled the Jews in loyalty to the imperial house, as expressed with “prayers, preparation of votive offerings and quantity of sacrifices, not only at general festivals but also on a daily basis.”
Judging by his decision to desecrate the Temple of Jerusalem with his image, Caligula seems to have been unconvinced.
Caligula tries to desecrate the Temple
Sometime between 39 and 40 CE, Caligula sent orders to Petronius, the governor of the Roman province of Syria. Petronius was to install the emperor’s image within the Temple of Jerusalem, using whatever military force was necessary to see his orders through.
Bust of the emperor Caligula
Before even departing from Syria, Petronius found himself confronted with thousands of protesting Jews, pleading with the governor to reconsider. As the news of Caligula’s orders spread, Jews across the Roman Empire reacted in horror. Not for 200 years had they faced such a threat to the fundamentally aniconic and monotheistic nature of their religion.
According to Philo (Embassy to Gaius 203-337), when Agrippa I, Herod Agrippa’s grandson, heard what the emperor was planning to do, he was so shocked he suffered a stroke. Agrippa managed to recover swiftly and fully enough, however, to pen an urgent letter to the emperor imploring him not to go through with his plans.
The question was whether he could manage to persuade Caligula before Petronius and his forces arrived in Jerusalem.
The emperor changes his mind
Meanwhile in Syria, Petronius was in no hurry to march on Jerusalem and install the emperor’s statue. The politically astute governor realised the act would pour fuel on the already flaming tensions between Romans and Jews under Caligula’s rule.
Petronius’ gamble paid off. The time he bought by procrastinating proved enough for the emperor to change his mind, though exactly why Caligula did so is unclear.
One suggestion is that Agrippa’s power of persuasion was enough to convince him that forcing his statue among the Temple of Jerusalem was unwise. Josephus, meanwhile, suggests a more mundane reason: Caligula had promised Agrippa a favour in return for an especially good meal, and on this occasion, Agrippa decided to call it in (Antiquities of the Jews 18.290-309).
Bust of the emperor Caligula
Whatever the reason, the crisis was averted, and the Temple of Jerusalem remained unpolluted by pagan iconography. Caligula was the first emperor to try to force Jews to participate in the imperial cult. He was also, as it happens, the last.
Did Jesus come only for the Jews and not the Gentiles?
ANSWER
Jesus is the Messiah that the Jews had been anticipating for centuries (see Luke 2:25; 3:15). As such, He was born into a Jewish family and was reared according to Jewish law in a Jewish town (see Luke 2:27; Galatians 4:4). Jesus selected Jewish disciples, spoke in Jewish synagogues and the Jewish temple, and traveled mostly in Jewish areas. His mission, in fulfillment of the Jewish prophets, was to the Jewish people. However, none of this means that Jesus’ ministry was limited exclusively to the Jews.
In Matthew 15, there is an incident that, at first, seems to confirm the idea that Jesus came only for the Jews. Jesus was traveling through Tyre and Sidon, a Gentile region, and “a Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, ‘Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly’” (Matthew 15:22). This Gentile woman recognized Jesus as the Messiah (“Son of David”), but “Jesus did not answer a word” (verse 23). As the woman kept up her appeals, Jesus finally responded, but His words seemed to hold little hope: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel” (verse 24). However, the woman did not give up, and Jesus eventually granted her request, based on her “great faith” (verse 28).
The fact that Jesus helped the Canaanite woman, even though His mission was to the Jews, is a significant detail in the Gospel narrative. Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus gave other indications that His power and compassion reached to all people. He healed a Roman centurion’s servant (Luke 7:1–10). He traveled through the Gentile region of the Gerasenes (Mark 5:1). He ministered in a Samaritan city (John 4).
Jesus came to save everybody (1 John 2:2). Jesus Christ is God Himself (John 1:1). Jesus died on the cross as the payment for all our sins, and He rose from death in resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3–4). Jesus said He was the Good Shepherd, and He predicted that His flock would be greatly expanded: “I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd” (John 10:16).
It took a while for the early church to recognize that salvation was available to the Gentiles. The Jewish Christians who fled the persecution in Jerusalem went into the Gentile regions of Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, but they were “spreading the word only among Jews” (Acts 11:19). Peter was hesitant to bring the gospel to a Gentile household, but God made it plain that Cornelius was also one of the elect (Acts 10).
“Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too” (Romans 3:29). Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, but He had come to offer salvation to everybody. The Messiah was to be a “light for the Gentiles” (Isaiah 42:6). So call on Jesus, because “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21).

In Close Your Eyes there is a account of my sister Christine being sexually abused.

THE BEGINNING: Oakland, California If Christine’s parents had embraced her talent, there might be existing works from her childhood, but this was not to be. Fearing that Christine would steal her brother’s spotlight as the family artist, Christine’s mother, Rosemary, forbade Christine to draw at home. The only time she could express herself was at school or in her closet, by flashlight, when everyone else was asleep. Though we don’t have images to prove it, Christine’s kindergarten teacher has said that, by age five, Christine was already drawing with adult skill. She can remember Christine’s pictures of animals having near perfect detail and perspective.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested Wednesday that he might urge the state’s child protective services to investigate parents who take their children to drag shows.
When asked by reporters whether he would support proposed legislation from a Florida state representative that would punish parents who take their children to such performances, the governor said he has asked his staff to look into the idea.
“We have child protective statutes on the books,” the governor said. “We have laws against child endangerment.”

What Is Survivor’s Guilt?
Survivors guilt is a particular kind of guilt that develops in people who have survived a life-threatening situation. Some survivors feel guilty that they survived when others died. Others believe they could have done more to save the lives of others. And then there are those who feel guilty that another person died saving them.
While survivor’s guilt was originally used to describe feelings that survivors of the Holocaust experienced, it has also been applied to a number of life-threatening situations, including car accidents, wars, and natural disasters.
Survivor’s guilt is also common in those who have survived medical traumas. For instance, those who lived through the AIDS epidemic have described feelings of guilt related to their own survival while others, including friends or family, died.1 Some cancer survivors also experience this guilt if they survive a diagnosis but others don’t.2
In 1997, Stacey Pierrot came out with her Rosamond webpage, that employed a minor as a smokescreen to conceal her criminal attempt at Art Forgery. Indeed, she employs a children’s hospital, and Christine Rosamond Benton’s eleven year old daughter and heir, to prepare Rosamond’s loyal fans for massive Art Fraud. How many contacted Ms. Pierrot and asked if they could contribute to this fake charity? How many designers called and asked if Rosamond’s Dunkin could be put on their “tote bag” or, designer dress? How would you like to awaken in a bed full of toads?
“A poster of Rosamond’s creation “Dunkin the Frog” will be distributed to children in hospitals.”
Sandra Faulkner painted ‘Dunkin The Frog’ and I can prove it. Is it included in Lynche’s book? The image of a Art Imposter going around to hospitals in the Monterey area, and handing out fake Rosamond’s to injured and dying children, is the most diabolical scheme in the history of art. Are these scammers – INSANE?
I told my sixteen year old daughter there were women not related to us trying to rest Rosamond’s estate from my niece, the adult Heir. I told my daughter the lies these women are telling, are everywhere! The only chance our family has, in I authoring a integral biography of Christine, before they do. I did not know Heather’s aunt and her attorney husband were lurking in the background looking for weaknesses, for ways to the the millions of dollars they thought was there, in my daughter’s pocket. She disappeared and went over to the Stalkers and Parasites. I would not need Lara as muse, if my daughter was – more than my muse!
Below is house that Christine stayed in, and the deep crevas below that house carved out by the waves that came in that narrow opening, hit a wall, and shot fifty feet in the air. No way would Christine bring her eight year old daughter down there. Drew Benton knows I speak the truth, but, lied in order to protect her father, Garth Benton.
I am not writing about this for money. I could have put a book out a long time ago. I write because I love art, truth, and beauty. I have loved beautiful women – with a passion! Christine was witness to the beautiful relationships a young artist had with women. When she rendered beautiful women, and became famous, many people assumed Rosamond was a man. She grew weary of being asked if she was a Lesbian. Why then would she be reading a Lesbian novel, and hire the author to author her biography?
Judy Nelson was a Texas Beauty Queen, and is really into horses. Martina had to have her. She found an in via her daughter. Judy was happily married. I titled my autobiography ‘Capturing Beauty’ after Judy. If I had not written letters to the Judge and Executor, then my story, and Christine’s, would be shelved next to ‘Love Match’.
Then came Parasite, ‘July Lynch’ who wrote a movie script ‘Before the Wave’. She worked a non-existence sibling rivalry employing a mythical kindergarten teacher. When I saw the movie ‘Big Eyes’ I saw there was a mutual agreement between the Keanes. The nightmare I have endured as the surviving family artist, was FORCED upon me by Executor, Sydney Morris, and Judge, Richard Silver. When I met with Belle Burch, I offered asked her if she would co-author ‘Capturing Beauty’ because I needed a woman’s point of view, because, I my portrait of some of the women around my late sister, are going to be real ugly. When I discovered she concealed who she was, I had to wonder about her motives. I had to write about her, and put her in the light. I was afraid she was trying to hijack my story. She offered her services as an editor. She was a English major.
“I’m very good with spelling and grammar!”

Stacey Pierrot hired Julie Lynch to author another book about my late sister, Christine Rosamond. Pierrot employs most of the beautiful images Rosamond rendered in her lifetime that my nieces now have the copyright to. Pierrot captured these mages when she captured my nine year old niece, while at the same time rejecting my niece Shannon, who was a 28 year old ADULT when her mother drowned. Drew being a child was employed by Belford and Pierrot as the reason they had to intervene and become Drew’s CARETAKER, so she could realize monies from the sale of Rosamond prints. Shannon Rosamond tried to run the gallery, but Garth Benton’s attorney made Shannon’s attorney out to be dangerous and threatening. Robin Beare refused to meet with him lest Stimic attack her. Shannon told me to be careful.
“The first thing they are going to do is make you out to be insane!”
Pierrot is honored as a respectable servant of the arts in Carmel, she a gallery owner who works with the arts. I told Morris the gallery was precious to my family, our creative members – and the children we born in the future! This is our showplace, our limelight, that others are employing to LURE OUR CHILDREN over to the covert cause of outsiders so they can be empowered.

They pretended they had her best interests at heart as they turned her against her father who they were at war with.
What happened at Sandy Hook is a warning there is a war against our children. To invent a teacher in order to claim movie rights and other creative property that belongs to members of my family – IS PURE EVIL! To surround OUR children with FAKE REPORTS OF VIOLENCE is monstrous, because it bids our children to go running to them for safety – the FAKE INSANE CARETAKERS!
This is CHILD ABUSE! I have had it. You pretenders are going to know what Justice means – in a court of law! Only the truth will set my children free of you leaches!
Here is the fake kindergarten teacher that Lynch somehow located via information she was given. Who gave her this information? What is this teacher’s name, and, what city did she teach in? How old is this fake teacher? She must be ninety. How could she recall just one student after all these years, least remember what her works of art looked like. To make up such a lie in order to get near OUR CHILDREN – is insidious and dangerous! Pierrot wedged Drew and Shannon in the door of success so she can glom on to Rosamond’s success, like a PARASITE!
THE BEGINNING: Oakland, California If Christine’s parents had embraced her talent, there might be existing works from her childhood, but this was not to be. Fearing that Christine would steal her brother’s spotlight as the family artist, Christine’s mother, Rosemary, forbade Christine to draw at home. The only time she could express herself was at school or in her closet, by flashlight, when everyone else was asleep. Though we don’t have images to prove it, Christine’s kindergarten teacher has said that, by age five, Christine was already drawing with adult skill. She can remember Christine’s pictures of animals having near perfect detail and perspective. In addition to oppressing Christine artistically, Rosemary also dominated Christine with physical violence. Trying to support four children with only a high school education and little help from her alcoholic husband, Rosemary was often enraged. She took this rage out on Christine and Christine’s earliest known works reflect it. In Teenage Drawing II, her subject is reticent and withdrawn. In Teenage Drawing III, the woman looks shocked and angry.
The Red Cross had a youth art program in the 50s and early 60s where a hundred works of American art were chosen to tour the world in a international show. I was chosen twice, when I was twelve, and when sixteen. The work I rendered at twelve can be seen in the photo above hanging on the wall. It is a watercolor of a sailboat.
The second work was a watercolor of Oakland’s Produce Market painted from memory. My brother and I worked the summers at our father’s warehouse located at second and Market street near the train tracks in Jack London Square. Acme Produce was located in a Victorian warehouse with a façade like the one on the house I lived in with my wife, the artist, Mary Ann Tharaldsen.
In my painting was a red truck like the Ford the Presco males drove around in, delivering produce as far away as Crockette California. This painting is described in a letter sent to my mother by a official at University High School. After coming home from Europe, the Principle asked if he could hang it in his office for awhile.
I was given a brochure that had the artwork in it that got lose long with both paintings. My uncle Vinnie saved a panting I was honored for when I was in the seventh grade, he finding it on the garage floor. He got it framed and hung to with the seascape I gave him.
Bryan grew up in the Hollywood crowd. He was in a movie when he was ten. We met through a mutual friend whose father was going to marry my mother. This friend was Christine’s lover before Bryan. I owned all the good looks and talent one needed to hang with the In Crowd. I was a loner dedicated to my art. I never said anything to please of impress anyone. This is why Bryan trusted me to be his confident, even his elder and life guide. His father had pushed him away. We loved one another. We were the school artists. I was the best dancer. I pegged my pants in 1963. I danced the Bolero for Marilyn – with my shirt off. M hung with a bad-ass Greaser before she met me.
Marilyn started modeling when she was thirteen. We spoke the other day. Some people are the real deal, and, some people are Hollywood phonies!
I used t dance for 20 minutes in front a large mirror before I went to school, and when I cam home. I invented new moves. I practiced two days before I danced for M, who played her song she is writing, for me, the other day! My Bolero was not liken to the dancer below – but close! I danced for love of M.
Of course the un-creative ugly nobodies would want to destroy me – and this blog!
Alas I found Bryan Maclean’s father, George. He was a premiere architect for Hollywood Stars. He built the home my kindred, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, lived in, and was Godfather at the Christening of her son, Christopher Wilding. George MacClean was a good friend of Robert Stack, who dated Liz. Bryan said he learned to swim in Liz’s pool. Was this pool located at 1375 Beverly Hills Estate Drive?
George was the quintessential Hollywood-Los Angeles architect. He was Howard Roarke to the rich and famous. His house he built for the Trousdale Estates, is the Acme of Southern California success, that is enjoying a new Renaissance. Add to this the murals Garth Benton did for movie stars, and Christine Rosamond’s artwork, and the fact Bryan and Christine were lovers for two months when we were teenagers, then here is the lifestyle many can only dream of.
Bryan had seen the model I made for the house I designed when I was seventeen. He informed me his father was a famous architect. Bryan’s mother was an artist, as was one of her parents. I wish I knew her maiden name. Elizabeth, George, and Bryan were saved and became evangelicals. George and Bryan removed themselves from the Success Gauntlet.
Christine was married to actor, Rick Partlow, and lived in one of Micky Rooney’s houses. Garth did some acting, and was married to actress Harlee McBride. Tim O’Connor was like a member of our family. His father was a famous actor of the same name.
Michael Wilding was an artist, and thus was the reason Liz married him, in my opinion. Her family were art collectors. She encouraged Michael Jackson to become an artist. Michael Jr. may come out with a Mommy Dearest-like book that inspired the Rosamond Fib that she hid in the closet to paint. Bryan drew Beach Bunnies in our art class. Christine did not show her forbidden artwork to her lover, because this work did not exist.
Liz Taylor championed Gays stricken with AIDS. Her daughter-in-law, Aileen Getty, came down with this fatal disease. The Getty family owns the largest art collection in the world. We are talking about an Artistic Dynasty.
Sometimes I ask what the purpose of this blog is. The more I dig, the more I find. Wait till you see what I found out about Eric Nord.
A memorial celebration of the life of architect George MacLean is scheduled at noon Wednesday at Bel Air Presbyterian Church in West Los Angeles.
MacLean, who designed shopping centers for the public and mansions for film stars, was 68 when he died of cancer Dec. 1 at his ranch near Hemet. He most recently had pulled away from the Los Angeles social scene, said his longtime friend John Green, the composer and conductor.
At Work Developing Land
“George had been living as an evangelical Christian the past 10 years but he was developing estates on his Hemet property,” Green said.
MacLean was the chief architect for Westlake Village in Los Angeles, the Acapulco Princess Hotel and Estates in Mexico and the International Shopping Bazaar in Freeport,
Elizabeth quickly fell in love. What she didn’t know was that the home, which was made of glass and adobe, was designed by architect George MacLean with her in mind. In her book, An Informal Memoir, Elizabeth describes the unique interior: “One whole wall was built of bark with fern and orchids growing up the bark, and the bar was made of stone. And the fireplace had no chimney. There was a device making the smoke go down under the building and out through the barbecue pit.” Elizabeth also recalled that “You really couldn’t distinguish between the outside and inside. And all the colors I loved—off white, white, natural woods, stone, beigy marble. The pool was so beautiful. There were palm trees and rock formations—it looked like a natural pool, with trees growing out of it. It was the most beautiful house I’ve ever seen.” The state of the art home also featured an intercom, automated doors, light dimmers, automated curtains, and a movie screen. The architect later became godfather to Elizabeth’s son, Christopher.
After Elizabeth put the home on the market, Ingrid Berman toured the home as a potential buyer.
Ms. Taylor’s connection to the fight against AIDS grew deeper stillwhen her daughter-in-law Aileen Getty revealed to the woman she called “Mom” that she had contracted HIV in 1984. Far from turning her back on Getty, Taylor grew even more committed to the cause and saving the life of the daughter-in-law she loved and the mother of two of her grandchildren.
“Without the love of Elizabeth Taylor in my life, I would probably be dead — if not physically, most certainly emotionally,” Getty told The Advocate in 2011. “Mom loved me through my shame and held me tight. This can be very difficult: If you do something wrong, sometimes you feel that you want to be scolded or punished for your actions, as opposed to being loved and supported. Mom just loved me.”
Born in Los Angeles in 1947, MacLean drifted towards the music scene and became a roadie for the Byrds. In the mid-Sixties, the tall blond musician would hang out at Ben Frank’s, a 24-hour diner on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. As he recalled on television, “Bobby Jameson, a friend of mine, told me about the audition for the Monkees. He said: `You ought to go down there, you’re what they’re looking for. You’ll make $750 a week.’ That was an enormous amount. But he didn’t tell me that it was comedy,” explained MacLean. “So I went down there being the hip, street- wise guy, gravelling my voice, and it was wrong. Thank God it was the wrong approach. They got the impression I was a seriously drugged- out guy. ”
He created homes for such stars as Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Stack and Dean Martin, and he was affiliated for several years with Daniel K. Ludwig, the builder, shipping magnate and financier for whom he designed office buildings and hotels.
MacLean, who studied art and architecture at USC, is survived by his wife, Gene, sons Bryan and Joel, his mother, Lillie, and a brother, Charles.
The boldest-faced celebrities, industrialists and society names in town angled to get the best lots, and competed with each other to hire the most talented architects and in-demand ‘interior decorators’ money could buy. The design review board – headed by society architect Allen Siple – and original covenants dictating 3,000 square foot minimums ensured large, well-designed homes; single-story restrictions ensured they’d spread out forever, while protecting views.

Trousdale, who sold gum and advertising before going into real estate, conceived of Trousdale Estates as an exclusive enclave offering residents “a life above it all.” He oversaw a monumental grading project that transformed the scrub-covered hills into 539 lots, precisely stepped to maximize their canyon, city and ocean views.
From the beginning, Trousdale courted the rich and famous. Dinah Shore and Richard Nixon were among the early buyers, both of them commissioning modern ranch houses from Allen Siple. “I’d rather have Nixon in that house than the other House,” Groucho Marx quipped of his Trousdale neighbor. Marx, who hired the society architect Wallace Neff to design a low, curvilinear home with an open carport to showcase his three DeSotos, was a common sight in the neighborhood, walking his black and white Scottish terriers, Scotch and Soda. Danny Thomas built a sprawling Levantine mansion he called Villa Rosa. Like Paul Trousdale, Dean Martin and Elvis Presley both chose houses in the theatrical Hollywood Regency style.
Originally built by architect George MacLean in 1963, the Meisel Residence is located in the Trousdale Estates area of Beverly Hills. The Hawaiian-style ranch house is staggered along the site in rectangular forms, with expansive views overlooking the city from the living areas of the home.
Mister Meisel’s house was featured in the October 2012 issue of Architectural Digest with lush photographs by Roger Davies and text by the always snappy Mayer Rus. The article reveals that the house was originally designed and built in 1963 by little lauded architect George MacLean for an unnamed race car driver and his model wife. Mister MacLean, in case any of y’all might care, also designed a low-slung home above Benedict Canyon on Beverly Estate Drive (in Bev Hills Post Office) that was owned for a brief spell in the mid-1950s by a young Elizabeth Taylor and her second husband, English actor Michael Wilding.
At the time Mister Meisel bought his spectacularly sited house in Trousdale Estates it was blessedly untouched but much in need of a re-fresh. He engaged the pricey and revered services of the Ron Radziner of the firm Marmol & Radziner who completely rebuilt and sensitively added 2,300 square feet to the existing city view mid-century modern residence then selected celebrated and much published decorator Brad Dunning to chic up the day-core but “maintain the integrity” and “ambiance” of the residence’s original 1960s swagginess.
ELIZABETH TAYLOR’s son is considering pals’ suggestions that he write a “Mommie Dearest” tell-all that promises to rip the lid off of the movie legend’s worst performance – as a mother!
A book penned by Liz’s 59-year-old son Michael Wilding Jr. would be in the tradition of the scathing Joan Crawford biography and explain why Taylor, a beloved Hollywood icon, was no saint to her kids, say pals.
While Liz was known to be very generous with her time and money to charities, “she was never interested in her children,” a family insider told The ENQUIRER.
“Michael was overheard saying he would rather have grown up broke with a loving mother rather ‘than the way I was raised!’”
Wilding, a former soap opera actor, has been urged to write the explosive book with his wife Brooke Palance, daughter of the late movie star Jack Palance.
“It would portray Liz as an absentee mom, always away on movie sets, flying around the globe or in the arms of a man,” revealed a family friend.
Elizabeth’s four children were trotted out for photo opportunities to give the appearance of a loving, close-knit family, but the friend says: “That couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Michael, Liz’s son with second husband Michael Wilding Sr., spent much of his life “in a desperate bid for her attention,” according to the insider. “The book would talk about how Michael rebelled against his mother, running away to join a rock band, hanging around the drug scene and bedding a lot of women.”
During the mid-’70s, Michael lived on a farm commune in Wales, playing sax with a five-member rock group. He was married at 17 and had a daughter, but the union blew apart after just two years. He had another daughter with a girlfriend at the commune in 1975 but didn’t settle down until tying the knot with Brooke in 1982, and they had a son seven years later.
Despite Michael’s differences with his mother, he was the one who oversaw her care leading up to her death last year at age 79.
But now, said the friend: “Michael could spill all the family secrets as a way of coming to terms with a mother who was never there.”
In retrospect, MacLean didn’t dwell too much on his failure to edge out Peter Tork or Mike Nesmith and take part in American television’s manufactured answer to the Fab Four. Disparagingly, he claimed: “The Monkees were extremely square. They just jumped on the bandwagon. It had nothing to do with what was really going on. It was the Keystone Cops of rock. I didn’t belong in the Monkees or, if I did, I’m still in denial about it.” He joked somewhat nervously: “If I ever find out that I belonged in the Monkees, then I will probably have a legitimate nervous breakdown,” and went on, “I think that I really belonged in something that involved pioneering music, something that wasn’t popular yet. My goal for my music was always timelessness.”
MacLean more than succeeded in this aim with Love, a band who rank alongside the Velvet Underground and the Ramones when it comes to influencing successive generations of musicians (REM, House of Love, the Stone Roses).
Again, MacLean met Arthur Lee at Ben Frank’s. The Memphis-born musician had already cut a single with the LAGs before moving on to the American Four with the guitarist Johnny Echols. The three joined forces and, adding the rhythm section of Johnny Fleckenstein and Don Conka (soon replaced by the bassist Ken Forssi and drummer Alban “Snoopy” Pfisterer), became the Grass Roots.
Having made their live debut at Brave New World in LA in April 1965, the group changed its name to avoid confusion with another Grass Roots (of “Let’s Live For Today” fame). Given the flower-power movement emerging on the West Coast, the five musicians opted for Love and attracted the attention of Jac Holzman in early 1966. The entrepreneur had already established Elektra Records on the East Coast as the natural home of the folk scene with artists like Judy Collins but he wanted to move the label towards the rock underground. Love’s unique brand of folk and demented psychedelia more than fitted the bill. “Thirty seconds into their version of `Hey Joe’, I knew this was the group I was looking for,” claimed Holzman, who would later sign the Doors at Lee’s instigation.
Love became the first rock band on Elektra and released a stunning version of Burt Bacharah and Hal David’s “My Little Red Book” (from What’s New Pussycat?) in April 1966. Following their appearance on American Bandstand, the single and ensuing debut album (simply entitled Love) both made the US Top 60 and the following 45, the frantic “Seven and Seven Is”, did even better, reaching No 33 in September. “Love was what is lovingly referred to as an underground, a garage band. We had a following but it was underground. It wasn’t meant to appeal to as many people as the Monkees’ music was,” reflected MacLean, who wrote the lovely “Softly To Me” on the first album.
Wearing ribbons in his hair, the more introspective MacLean was the ideal foil to Arthur Lee’s frenzied genius and Love became darlings of the hippie scene. Living in their communal Los Angeles “Castle” (actually a decaying mansion previously used as a horror movie set), they recruited Tjay Cantrelli on flute and Michael Stuart on drums while “Snoopy” Pfisterer moved to keyboards to flesh out the group’s richer sound on Da Capo, their second album (February 1967). MacLean’s jazzy “Orange Skies” was the B-side of “She Comes in Colours” but neither this nor “Que Vida” could match their previous success, especially as the group hardly ever toured away from their California base.
Following Pfisterer and Cantrelli’s departure, Love set to work on the ambitious Forever Changes, their third album issued in November 1967, just as their cult status was reaching British shores. Hailed a masterpiece and still namechecked as one of the best-ever albums, Forever Changes reached the Top 30 album chart in the UK while “Alone Again Or”, the eerie, evanescent MacLean composition, entered the US Hot 100. Covered by the Damned in 1986, “Alone Again Or” proved the swansong of the original Love as the idiosyncratic Lee kept playing mind games with MacLean.
During a very strange interview in 1992, Lee told me: “We were competing a bit like Lennon and McCartney to see who would come up with the better song. It was part of our charm. Everybody had different behaviour patterns. Eventually, the others couldn’t cut it.” Lee sacked the rest of the band and assumed the Love mantle from mid-1968. He briefly worked with Jimi Hendrix and nearly died of a drug overdose in 1970.
MacLean also fell from grace. “I don’t think I could cope with even the minimal amount of fame that I experienced. It was difficult to stay balanced. To be honest, it almost killed me just to have the notoriety that I had. To have my face more well-known would have been pathogenic. I don’t know if I could have lived through it,” he later admitted.
“I’ve had a lot of experiences that would have killed most people: drug overdoses, felony arrests. I was invited to Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski’s house the night that the Mansons showed up. I had a penchant for putting myself 100 per cent in whatever I was doing, wrong or right. And there are consequences. If you have the greatest drug and what you feel is the most euphoric experience and it ends, then you’re in trouble. You think you’re getting on to the train and you’re gonna get off at the next stop. But before you realise it, you’re strapped to the front of a runaway train until it crashes. And when it crashes, you don’t even know if you’re gonna come out. I just simply didn’t have another runaway train experience left in me.”
A proposed solo deal fell through when Jac Holzman pronounced the MacLean demos “too fragmented”. MacLean bounced back for a while but, before completing an album for Capitol Records, he quit the business in 1970. Seven years later, his old nemesis Arthur Lee tempted him out of retirement for a Love tour with the future Knack drummer Bruce Gary. MacLean enlisted for a further Southern California reunion outing (immortalised on Rhino’s Love Live album) and got religion.
“I wasn’t doing well. My mother had been converted watching Bill Graham on television, she was praying for me. One night, in a hotel room in New York, I just prayed, cried out to the Lord and said: if you’re real, I’m gonna give my life to you because I’m afraid I’m gonna destroy myself. I ended up walking away from the business at that point,” confessed MacLean, who became a sepulchral presence, not unlike the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson.
By the Nineties, the erratic Arthur Lee was displaying paranoid tendencies and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. In 1996, following several arrests and convictions, he was jailed for 12 years for threatening behaviour with a firearm.
Bryan MacLean crawled back from the wreckage. His half-sister, Maria McKee, made several records with Lone Justice, including a song by MacLean, “Don’t Toss Us Away”, in 1985, which three years later became a Top 10 country music hit for Patty Loveless. In 1997, the Sundazed label released IfYouBelieveIn, a collection of solo acoustic MacLean demos culled from the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. His odd quavering vocals remained as compelling as ever and also came to the fore in his born-again incarnation.
“I started making music again when I felt comfortable to move back into writing without violating my stand for Christ,” Bryan MacLean told Ian MacMillan. “Love grows in me when I proclaim all that my Lord has done. I’m now writing worship music that’s presented in an ethereal genre. Celtic, spacy, no guitars. I call it spooky Christian music, spooky worship music.
“If a person is a Satanist or a Buddhist or a Hindu, they will be able to listen to this music and not be put off by it because it’s the universal longing to be in the spirit realm that’s being expressed.”
Bryan MacLean, guitarist, singer and songwriter: born Los Angeles 25 September 1946; died Los Angeles 25 December 1998.
On the day before Thanksgiving, our Nation lie in ruin thanks to the Evangelical Anarchists and Insurectionists that anointed Trump – a King! A year before my daughter came into my life, I sent Stacey Pierrot a letter that has proven prophetic. I predict the Christian-right would destroy our Democracy. I made this prediction on several Templar, Grail, and Mary Magdalene yahoogroups. I showed them that I have real Biblical knowledge which caused many to attack me.
Vicki Presco told me that Sydney Morris combed through my letters looking for THREATS. I surmised he read this letter, and others, that I filed in the probate of the artist – ROSABELLE!
Vicki told me our Aunt Lillian regretted on her death bed the horrible and trite things she said about her sister ROSEMARY in Tom Snyder’s evil biography of – THE ROSE OF THE WORLD!
My angst towards Lesbians (at the time) was motivated by the choice of Rosamond’s biographers. Sandra Faulkner claimed she had interviewed Christine – before she died – and my sister chose her after reading Sandra’s ‘Love Match’ a lesbian novel. Since LGBTQ couples can not bare children, they can not create a Creative Dynasty with their offspring. I wondered is Pierrot was a Lesbian. This letter was ignored because I had no children – that we knew of! My mother died believing I was a failure as a heterosexual. My sixteen year old daughter appeared fifteen months later. This was a miracle in so many ways. I got engaged to Patrice Hanson, then she picked a fight with me over Family Tree and DNA.
No member of my natal family loved my daughter and her family because the two families never met. Christine was dead for seven years when Heather came into my life. Her family did not love any member of my family. Because of the legal battle my niece Shannon was having over the creative legacy she inherited, I asked my daughter not to have anything to do with my family until things were resolved. There was no good reason for my daughter and her mother to try and get in the rival bio.
My daughter and her family knew Bill Cornwall and his father wanted me out of the picture, and wanted my grandson all to themselves – because Bill could not conceive a child. Either could Randall Delpiano whose name is on Heather’s birth certificate. Randy died childless. I told Patrice I wanted to have Delpiano removed from the name…
My late sister, Christine Rosamond Benton, is the victim of posthumous Gaslighting by Tom Snyder, the ghost writer hired by Stacey Pierrot. Bi these villains Gaslight Shannon and I. On page 162 and 163 we hear from Marian Sayler, who allegedly is Christine’s sponsor in A.A. She was a friend of the McCurdys who were in my sister’s AA group. Michael McCurdy was a manager in the Rosamond gallery where Marin caught Rosamond doing a whimsical painting of a frog. I saw this frog on the webpage of Rosamond’s first biographer, Sandra Faulkner. “Dunken The Frog” was a children’s book Sandra was trying to sell. When I pointed out this ART FRAUD, to Executor, Sydney Morris in a letter, Dunken disappeared. Snyer said he would not use my sister’s and my recovery. He lied! Three people in A.A. are employed to commit an act of fraud. This constitutes CONSPIRACY!
‘It was Christine’s sense of humor, I think, I enjoyed the most her. I went to the gallery on Doloress Street once, and Christine was working on a painting of a frog for a children’s book, I believe. It was entitled “Splash” and I still have it over my bathtub at my home in Palm Springs.”
Marian describes the little frog, layered with Rosamond’s sense of the comedic. Ever the courtiere’, Christine had placed over the frog’s green skin, a little striped bathing suit.”
There is a story I enjoyed as a youth, The Princess and the Frog’. I will concentrate on Snyder’s transformation of a bathing frog, into a weapon to destroy me – with the help of my brother and sister in AA – who should never have contributed to Pierrot’s bio. She paid for it. Christine’s Anonymity was broken. There are thousands of Recovery Books on the market – written by people in Recovery! Tom and Stacey – along with Vicki and Mark Presco – knew I began my Recovery Book in 1992 – two years before Christine ended up making a SPLASH in the Pacific Ocean! Let’s ask some good questions:
Why didn’t Splash make it into that children’s book? If it did, why didn’t Julie Lynch include images from this book in her book?
Why isn’t Mirian’s frog in Julie’s book?
Is there a record of this sale?
Is is signed by Rosamond?
Christine NEVER painted in her gallery! I have been searching for Sayler for years – and can’t find her. Is she a FICTIONAL person. If you know her, let me know! I called up Michael McCurdy last year, and he was anxious to hang up. I would love to have my attorney question him on the witness stand, along with his wife that told me to stay out of it when I asked good questions in 1994.
As a Biblical Scholar I notice timeline statements, like “I still have it over my bathtub.”. Take out the “still”. “I believe” is used to strengthen the claim, the entitlement. Pierrot allowed her Ghost Writer to tamper with evidence I submitted to the Superior Coust of Monterey. Will Sandra make a good witness for Dead Rosamond? Vicki told me Sandra absconded with a 5,000 dollar advance she got to author my family bio? I sent her an e-mail with a pic of Dunken, along with this question;
‘Did you paint this image?”
Why do these parasites believe this is what Sober Christine wanted?
I will be talking to my new therapist about the Gaslighting of Kim Haffner who made a living dealing with severely insane people. Kim denies reading Snyder’s book, because, she wanted to gather Gas Lighting Material. Did she contact Stacey Pierrot, or, Vicki Presco. She suggests she had been conversing with my daughter, and the AGREE that I am mentally ill, and tend to make crazy stuff up. With my posts on the authors I conversed with on yahoo.groups, who were Gaslighting me, comes evidence I had a valid book in the works. Does Dr. Haffner consider these authors insane because they published books about Mary Magdalene having Jesus’ baby?
Tom Snyder uses CHILDREN to hurt me. He weaponizes them. I am going to try to get a record of Haffner’s employment at the Johnson Unit where she may have abused adults who are acting like unmanageable children. Haffner riled up our neighbors to punish and control me. I believe she passed Christine’s biography around when I asked her not to. I want her on a witness stand, along with our neighbors. I told Kim about Love Match. Some Christians believe Gays should be executed.
The Haffners stalked me after I told them Garth Benton went to Sue Haffner’s high school. They wanted to control that information so it could be put in their pile after reducing me to a raving lunatic in a psycho ward. Garth Gaslights my sister – posthumously. So does Scott who was a friend of Snyder. What they did, and do to me, they did to Christine.
Gaslighting has been observed between patients and staff in inpatient psychiatric facilities.[20]
In a 1996 book, Dorpat claimed that “gaslighting and other methods of interpersonal control are widely used by mental health professionals as well as other people” because they are effective methods for shaping the behavior of other individuals.[1]:45 He noted that covert methods of interpersonal control such as gaslighting are used by clinicians with authoritarian attitudes,[1]:xiii–xxi and he recommended instead more non-directive and egalitarian attitudes and methods on the part of clinicians,[1]:225 “treating patients as active collaborators and equal partners”.[1]:246
When, at an early art opening, a patron enthuses, “Your husband’s quite a talent! Do you paint too?” Margaret seems to be racking her mind to remember, finally stuttering “I don’t know.” It’s especially painful to see how Walter’s gaslighting of Margaret’s extends to Jane, her longtime muse, whom Margaret literally shuts out of her studio to preserve Walter’s fiction. When he tells Margaret, in public, that he’ll “have [her] whacked” if she reveals the truth about the paintings, it’s able to be horribly comedic only because Waltz perfectly portrays the impotence underlying Walter’s rubbery-faced egomania. But it’s clear that the real-life threat was very plausible. In a recent profile in the San Francisco Chronicle, Margaret recalls:
“Back then, women kind of went along with their husbands, didn’t rock the boat. He finally wore me down,” Margaret says. “While we were fighting this out at home, the paintings were just flying off the walls. Posters were selling. It was unbelievable. It snowballed overnight. I kept getting in deeper and deeper. I didn’t know how I could get out of it. I lost all respect for him and myself, and lived in a nightmare.”
For fifty years Hollywood made movies about a poor damsel in distress being bullied and taken advantage of, by a Evil Rich Man. For coming to the defense of my niece, Shannon Rosamond, I was BLACKLISTED, thrown off the lot.
Shannon is the my late sister’s eldest daughter. She took on the powerful Buck Empire, and lost. There exist no written account of her relationship with her mother and her family. Christine’s 276 autobiography, has been disappeared. This is how it goes when THE POOR take on THE RICH. A month after Christine is – out of the way – Shannon says this to me;
“Be careful Greg. My friends think my life is in danger. The first thing they are going to do is make you out to be insane!”
Christine is made out to be insane in Sydney Morris’s evil book of lies. A world famous woman artist, is guilty of “erratic behavior” too! Their book is a HUGE FAILURE! Stand up and take a bow – Bob Buck! Now, they want to use Hollywood, co-founded by Frank Buck, to depict the three artists in my family, as cuckoo!
I knew Ken Kesey. I was with him on Further in the Eugene Parade. Nancy and I were childhood friends. Christine lived with us in a famous commune. Ken’s fictional novels ‘Sometimes a Great Notion, and ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ has come true! I suggest Robert Brevoort Buck enter into arbitration with me – and my Mad&Merry Women&Men! All we want, is……….The Promised Land!

Robert B. Buck, President and Principal Owner
Bob Buck is the President and principal owner of Del Monte Aviation. Mr. Buck acquired and redeveloped Monterey’s fifty year old Del Monte Aviation in early 1996, using his more than five thousand pilot hours as a guide. Mr. Buck’s development of Del Monte Aviation followed many years of activity in real estate development, agribusiness and oil production. He is a founding partner of the Carmel law firm of Heisinger, Buck and Morris. Mr. Buck is active in charitable endeavors, now serving as Vice Chairman of the Buck Institute in Marin County, California, a medical research facility specializing in the problems of aging. He was the founding president of the Frank and Eva Buck Foundation, which grants college scholarships in Northern California and has been on the Board of the Jeffers Tor House Foundation in Carmel for many years.
I just read an episode of The Streets of San Francisco was filmed at the Anchor brewery that was owned by William Buck, who allegedly found rare books – in Carson City?!! I don’t buy it, nor does the author of an article on William – who claims he learned ancient Sanskrit – in Carson City!!! Was William a suicide that got caught up in a great deception? They say he went bankrupt. I wonder if he was funding other Beat Enterprises, and thus – the coverup!
I began another novel where Irene (Rena) visits Anchor. It was going to be written in the Black Mask style. The statues of Ron Boise were put on the roof of Anchor. I found a photograph of The Thunder Machine taken inside Anchor in 1964 – while it was still owned by William Buck – who might have been Ron’s secret patron. There are no photographs of Buck, or, an account of how he died – so young! The law firm of Morris & Buck will forever be linked to Ken Kesey, Ron Boise, Christine Rosamond, Garth Benton, and the ex-governor of California. Did Garth know Ron? No longer will Robert Buck be able to hide behind the mental illness of my sister and I. With the appearance of Van Gogh’s sister’s letters, the joy of luring my daughter away from her mad father…is at an end!
This is the most amazing case of Art Synchronicity that I have ever been on. Van Gogh is my new Spirit Guide who is helping heal the hurt from my muse – and family. I will refrain from lengthy commentary so my readers can make their own connections – and assumptions – that I may save for my autobiography….’Capturing Beauty’.
Two days ago, Spooky Noodles came up with the name for the basement of the University of Oregon Library. My novel ‘The Gideon Computer’ is now writing itself. Or, is there a alien?
As the stars get to work solving the murder, Arnold heads off to his other gig, posing for an art class. One of the art students sketching Arnold, we fear, may become his next victim. The actress who plays her has the unique distinction of having played three different doctors on Star Trek.
Is it possible aspects of the Buck Foundation, and Wells Fargo, had plans to corner the market on the ‘The Recovery Industry’? Along with research that extends the lives of folks who suffer from ‘Death’, is there a new plan and program to cure folks from Death Due To Drink? My science fiction novel ‘The Gideon Computer’ – has come true! Big Brother Buck took over my family. The Prescos were kidnapped by…..BIG RECOVERY. Watch this video!
“Seeking submissions. SUBMIT – OR DIE!”
You can’t make this shit up! Or – can you?
I began The Gideon Computer in 1986 while I was still using. I got into the New Hope program at Serenity Lane to get sober, so I could live to finish it. It has become true. The Gideon Institute – is for real!

John the Baptist was older than his disciple, Jesus. When John died, he went to his tomb, and John resuscitated into the body of Jesus. This truth has been altered and hidden, but, because I AM John the Baptist, I can see The Truth.
