SOUTHS REVOLUTION AGAINST THE CARPETBAGGERS

cccalco — 2013-04-18T13:29:21

SOUTH'S REVOLUTION AGAINST THE CARPETBAGGERS

"Let me tell the story of this revolution. During the period of reconstruction scores of protective secret organizations were formed by the white men of the South. These ranged "from small bodies of neighborhood police, which were common in 1865 and 1866, to great federated orders like the White Camelia, covering the entire South and even extending into the North and West. The largest and best known was the Ku Klux Klan, or the Invisible Empire.

The Ku Klux Klan was organized by some young men of Pulaski, Tennessee. Originally it seems to have been partly an expression of the gregarious instincts of youth. In addition, these young ex-Confederate soldiers soon found that terrorizing the criminal element among the negroes, by means of mysterious costumes and nightly maneuvers, furnished both fun for themselves and protection to life, property and the home. It is impossible to determine what relative part these desires played in the original organization, but it is sure that in a very short time protection became the great object of these watchers of the night. Their success led to similar protective orders throughout the whole South, and they soon united under the name of "The Invisible Empire."

It was indeed an invisible empire. Initiations were not mere useless horse-play, as in some societies of the present time, but were designed to test thoroughly the mettle of the initiate, and one who passed through them possessed bravery at least. The Ku Klux Klan at first performed much the services of the slave-patrol of ante-bellum days. Mr. Gardner, in "Reconstruction in Mississippi," says, "The nocturnal perambulations of the freedmen, their habits of running away from labor contracts, the large amount of petit larceny among them at the time, the abandonment of crops to attend political meetings, their participation in the Loyal [Union] Leagues, and their alleged insolence to their former masters created a necessity for some kind of restraints, as the whites believed. The Ku Klux Klan organization (in Mississippi) was designed to accomplish this purpose."

That the first operations of the Ku Klux Klan were a blessing seems to be admitted by most northern historians. The Radical leaders became more moderate, burnings, a weapon of the Loyal [Union] League, stopped, negroes were frightened into good behavior, women were protected, and civilized forms of society reappeared.

In many sections the activities of the Ku Klux Klan consisted only of innocent pranks to frighten the negroes into obedience, and such sections soon fell into the hands of the whites. In the black districts, however, with the coming of Carpetbag rule, and the consequent social disorders, more strenuous measures were adopted. When other methods failed, whipping and even the death penalty were resorted to as preventatives of arson and the ravishing of women. These punishments were decreed and carried out in a formal and dignified manner in conformity with the strict discipline of the Ku Klux Klan leaders.

The members of this order were thus self-constituted committees of safety, such as always appear sooner or later in a lawless, disorganized society. Like organizations served to restore order in many western mining towns during a rule of anarchy. This fact must be kept constantly in mindin many sections of the South there was no other protection to life, property or virtue. The more serious penalties imposed by the order would never have been resorted to by the intelligent men of the South had the courts been open to them, or had even a semblance of justice and civilization been maintained. And the Ku Klux Klan was composed of the bravest and best men of the South, much as this has been denied by well-meaning northern apologists.

Anarchy reigned supreme, and the Ku Klux Klans merely resorted to the first law of nature, self-preservation. The ethics of social progress demand that, at such a time, the intelligent and safe elements of society band together to restore law and order. The means to be used must be commensurate with the disorders threatening, and the Ku Klux Klans stayed within the limitations of this rule."

Roman de Rou

Jon Presco — 2013-04-18T08:17:01

In the Roman de Rou (The Romance of Rollo) Brutus of Troy falls asleep before a statue of the goddess Diana in her abandoned temple and has a dream of the island he is destined to settle. This land is Britian.

On the grounds of Blenhiem Palace there is a temple for the goddess Diana where Winston Churchill proposed to his wife. This temple looks like the one that was built for Princess Diana Spencer who is kin to the Churchills and Dukes of Marlborough. It was on these grounds that King Henry built a Troy-town for Fair Rosamond, who descends from Rollo. Henry claimed he descends from Brutus of Troy. The Sleeping Beauty Princess was named `Rosamond'. Princess Diana was named `England's Rose'. There is a rose in the middle of the Round Table that Wace introduced to the Arthurian Legends. Wace brought the sword he called `Excalibur'.

Above is a print of Wace delivered `The Roman de Rou' to King Henry. As promised, here is the Grail Line of the Norse. The name Rosamond will forever be associated with the Holy Grail. I will forever be known as a Grail Author and Grail Scholar. I have immortalized my family. I have connected Princess Diana to the Grail Legends. One day, one, or both of her sons, will be the King of England.

Long live the king!

John Presco

Both Henry II and his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, were descended from Rollo. Henry via Rollo's son, and successor, William `Longsword'. Eleanor via Rollo's daughter, Gerloc (who married Duke William III of Aquitaine, and was called Adela).

http://rosamondpress.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/rosamond-and-the-earls-of-orkney/

His later work, the Roman de Rou, was, according to Wace, commissioned by King Henry II of England. A large part of the Roman de Rou is devoted to William the Conqueror and the Norman Conquest. Wace's reference to oral tradition within his own family suggests that his account of the preparations for the Conquest and of the Battle of Hastings may have been reliant not only on documentary evidence but also on eyewitness testimony from close relationsthough no eyewitnesses would have been still alive when he began work on the text. The Roman de Rou also includes a mention of the appearance of Halley's Comet. The relative lack of popularity of the Roman de Rou may reflect the loss of interest in the history of the Duchy of Normandy following the incorporation of continental Normandy into the kingdom of France in 1204.

The Trojans land on a deserted island and discover an abandoned temple to Diana. After performing the appropriate ritual, Brutus falls asleep in front of the goddess's statue and is given a vision of the land where he is destined to settle, an island in the western ocean inhabited only by a few giants.

"Yea, Rosamond, fair Rosamond,
Her name was called so,
To whom dame Elinor our Queene
Was known a deadly foe,
The King therefore for her defence
Against the furious Queene
At Woodstocke builded such a Bower
The like was never seen.

"Most curiously that Bower was built
Of stone and timber strong.
An hundered and fifty dores
Did to this Bower belong,
And they so cunningly contriv'd
With turnings round about
That none but with a clew of thread
Could enter in or out."

Many turf mazes in England were named Troy Town, Troy-town or variations on that theme (such as Troy, The City of Troy, Troy's Walls, Troy's Hoy, or The Walls of Troy) presumably because, in popular legend, the walls of the city of Troy were constructed in such a confusing and complex way that any enemy who entered them would be unable to find his way out. Welsh hilltop turf mazes (none of which now exist) were called "Caerdroia", which can be translated as "City of Troy" (or perhaps "castle of turns").

W. H. Matthews, in his Mazes and Labyrinths (1922), gives the name as "Troy-town". More recent writers (such as Adrian Fisher, in The Art of the Maze, 1990) prefer "Troy Town".

The name "Troy" has been associated with labyrinths from ancient times. An Etruscan terracotta wine-jar from Tragliatella, Italy, shows a seven-ring labyrinth marked with the word TRUIA (Troy). To its left, two armed soldiers appear to be riding out of the labyrinth on horseback, while on the right two couples are shown copulating. The vase dates from about 630 BC.

Anglo-Norman author of two verse chronicles, the Roman de Brut(1155) and the Roman de Rou (116074), named respectively after the reputed founders of the Britons and Normans.

The Rou was commissioned by Henry II of England, who sometime before 1169 secured for Wace a canonry at Bayeux in northwestern France. The Brut may have been dedicated to Henry's queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Written in octosyllabic verse, it is a romanticized paraphrase of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia regum Britanniae, tracing the history of Britain from its founding by the legendary Brutus the Trojan. Its many fanciful additions (including the story of King Arthur's Round Table) helped increase the popularity of the Arthurian legends. The Rou, written in octosyllabic couplets and monorhyme stanzas of alexandrines, is a history of the Norman dukes from the time of Rollo the Viking (after 911) to that of Robert II Curthose (1106). In 1174, however, Henry II transferred his patronage to one Beneeit, who was writing a rival version, and Wace's work remained unfinished.
Wace's artistry in the Brut exerted a stylistic influence on later verse romances (notably on a version of the Tristan story by Thomas, the Anglo-Norman writer), whereas the English poem Brut (c. 1200) by Lawamon was the most notable of many direct imitations. Three devotional works by Wace also survive.

Wace, writing some 300 years after the event in his Roman de Rou, also mentions the two brothers (as Rou and Garin), as does the Orkneyinga Saga.

Rosmond Clifford's ancestors are the Erl's of Orkney via Hugh de Calvacamp, thus she is kindred to the Sinclairs. However, this link has long been in question. Rosamond's lover, King Henry Plantgenet, claims he descends from the Kings of Troy. Helen of Troy was captured, her legendary beauty launching a thousand ships that came to her rescue. Some scholars suggest the name Helen means "captured". Helen is the Queen Mother of my novel `Capturing Beauty. King Henry Plantagenet of Anjou allegedly built a labyrinth around Fair Rosamond. When I posted this information, and more, on a Templar yahoogroup, Ian Sinclair tried to get me banned, and succeeded!

The Sinclairs claim they came to America, even discovered it. However, my ex-wife, Mary Ann Tharaldsen, would beg to differ, she kindred to Erik Tharaldsen, better known as Erik the Red. The Sinclair Clan is trying to capture my beautiful America! Get lost!

If you follow the Toeni ancestors of Rosamond Clifford, you arrive at Woden and the Kings of Troy. I suspect Henry married Rosamond after he divorced Eleanore (Helen) in order to unite the world under the three panthers of Angvian Plantagenet family who are leading members of the Priory de Sion LEGEND! Some members of the Sinclair family claim their ancestors were as powerful as Henry's family empire. They spread falsehoods! The Sinclairs claim they are kindred to Knights Templar and Masonic secrets. The Benton family were famous Freemasons, and I disocvered the Rougemont Templars by following my mother's maiden name ROSAMOND.

Above are two paintings by Rossetti employing the same model. These beautiful women are Fair Rosamund and Helen of Troy. My beautiful sister was the world famous artist known as Rosamond. Our Muse was Rena Cristiansen whose ancestros came from Sweden. Rena's three sisters were models their beauty captured by a fashion photographers. Consider the Mona Lisa.

Some Sinclairs died battling the Saracens in Spain around 1300. Rosamond's ancestor, Roger (Ralph) de Toeni, led Normans against Saracens in 1035.
The battle to restore Christianity to Spain, was on. Fair Rosamond in the Queen of Pan's Labyrinth because Henry built a Troy Town around Rosamond that are associated with the city of Troy. Did he behold Rosamond's genealogy and thus know she descended from Woden and the Trojans?

The Sinclairs have languished in the Priory of Troy Town long enough, they allowing Pierre Plantard to take all the heat in their place. But, with the revelation that my dear friend, Virginia Hambley, descends from powerful members of the Vichy evicts all the Sinclairs from the legend that Dan Bown made famous, and puts my Rose of the World at the epicenter; for Plantard was a real member of the Vichy rebirth that spawned a thusand novels.
It is time for the jewel, and the thorn, in the crown.

I want our legend back!
Jon Presco

Roman de Rou is a verse chronicle by Wace in Norman covering the history of the Dukes of Normandy from the time of Rollo of Normandy to the battle of Tinchebray in 1106. It is a national epic of Normandy.
Following the success of his Roman de Brut which recounted the history of the English, Wace was apparently commissioned by Henry II of England to write a similar account of the origins of the Normans and their conquest of England. Wace abandons his tale before bringing it up to date, telling the reader in the final lines of Part III that the king had entrusted the same task to a Maistre Beneeit (believed to be Benoît de Sainte-More).

The `Roman de Rou' (literally: Romance of Rollo) begins:
"One thousand, one hundred and sixty years in time and space had elapsed since God in His grace came down in the Virgin, when a cleric from Caen by the name of Master Wace undertook the story of Rou and his race "
Wace's `Roman de Rou' chronicles Norman history, in verse, from the founding duke, Rollo (Rou), to the battle of Tinchebray in 1106. It was apparently commissioned by King Henry II (reigned 1154-89), possibly on the strength of Wace's earlier work (finished in 1155), a versified adaptation of Geoffrey of Monmouth's fantastical `Historia Regum Britanniae', the `Roman de Brut' (which seems to have achieved considerable popularity, and in which Wace introduced King Arthur's round table).

Within the `Roman de Rou', Wace writes:
"The history of the Normans is a long one and hard to set down in the vernacular. If one asks who said this, who wrote this history in the vernacular, I say and will say that I am Wace from the Isle of Jersey, which is in the sea towards the west and belongs to the territory of Normandy. I was born on the island of Jersey and taken to Caen as a small child; there I went to school and was then educated for a long time in France. When I returned from France, I stayed in Caen for a long time and set about composing works in the vernacular: I wrote and composed a good many. With the help of God and the king I must serve no one apart from God a prebend was given to me in Bayeux (may God reward him for this). I can tell you it was Henry the second, the grandson of Henry and the father of Henry."
At any rate, for some reason, Henry became dissatisfied with Wace's work (or with Wace himself), and withdrew his patronage. Wace breaks off from his narrative, and writes:
"Let he whose business it is continue the story. I am referring to Master Beneeit [probably Benoît de Saint-Maure], who has undertaken to tell of this affair, as the king has assigned the task to him; since the king asked him to do it, I must abandon it and fall silent. The king in the past was very good to me. He gave me a great deal and promised me more, and if he had given me everything he promised me things would have gone better for me. I could not have it, it did not please the king; but it is not my fault. I have known three king Henrys and seen them all in Normandy; all three had lordship over Normandy and England. The second Henry, about whom I am talking, was the grandson of the first Henry and born of Matilda, the empress, and the third was the son of the second. Here ends the book of Master Wace; anyone who wishes to do more, let him do it."
Wace ceased work after 1174 (he mentions the siege of Rouen of that year). A substantial portion of the `Roman de Rou' only exists in a 17th century copy, though the section in which the Norman Conquest of England occurs is also preserved in three medieval manuscripts (one early-13th, one late-13th and one late-14th century). Incidentally, Wace is most likely a personal name, not a surname. For some reason (perhaps based on an erroneous reading) he has sometimes been called Robert Wace.

The entire knowledge we have of Rollo is based on Dodo's colourful accounts. The title they both adopted was "Count". in 1015 Richard II was the first to style himself "Duke" and "Patrician". He asserted his right to control the church and appoint Dukes under it.

Years of research by Sinclair historians has pointed to our ancient connection to the Norse, in general, and the line of Rollo, in particular. Yet, when most researchers dig into the prehistory of the Vikings, they speak of the Goths. Our DNA suggests that we do not match the haplogroups of the classic Norse R1a, I1a, N and Q. In fact, to date, only one Sinclair in our project is a part of these haplogroups the R1a. This, taken in context with the author and Flemish historian Beryl Platts insistence that the Sinclairs are not of Norse origins, could make this project the bearer of bad news. But read on because, like so many parts of our history, it's complicated.
The first traces of human life in Norway, based on archeological finds, were approximately 9,000-10,500 years ago. (I believe 8,000 BCE is closer to the accepted retreat of the LGM.) Before the Black Death in 1349, the population for Norway was estimated to be about 300,000. 15 There is much debate regarding the origins of these early settlers. Some have suggested they were related to the Mongols, at least in the case of the Finnish. Others have suggested they came up from Central Siberia.
One of our most notorious and beloved ancestors is Rollo. This from Wikipedia, who have a good habit of marking questionable research: "Rollo was a Viking leader of contested origin. Dudo of St. Quentin, in his De moribus et actis primorum Normannorum ducum (Latin), tells of a powerful Danish nobleman at loggerheads with the king of Denmark, who then died and left his two sons, Gurim and Rollo, leaving Rollo to be expelled and Gurim killed. William of Jumièges also mentions Rollo's prehistory in his Gesta Normannorum Ducum however he states that he was from the Danish town of Fakse. Wace, writing some 300 years after the event in his Roman de Rou, also mentions the two brothers (as Rou and Garin), as does the Orkneyinga Saga.
Norwegian and Icelandic historians identified this Rollo with a son of Rognvald Eysteinsson, Earl of Møre, in Western Norway, based on medieval Norwegian and Icelandic sagas that mention a Ganger Hrolf (Hrolf, the Walker). The oldest source of this version is the Latin Historia Norvegiae, written in Norway at the end of the 12th century. This Hrolf fell foul of the Norwegian king Harald Fairhair, and became a Jarl in Iceland. The nickname of that character came from being so big that no horse could carry him.
The question of Rollo's Danish or Norwegian origins was a matter of heated dispute between Norwegian and Danish historians of the 19th and early 20th century, particularly in the run-up to Normandy's 1000-year-anniversary in 1911. Today, historians still disagree on this question, but most would now agree that a certain conclusion can never be reached." (Wikipedia search Rollo)

The legend of King Arthur is an enduring one, so popular that it has been shared for centuries. The earliest accounts are simple: A heroic king rescues his country. The story evolved over the centuries, and further elements such as Camelot, the Round Table, and Merlin were added in for flavor. Some versions of the legend state that Arthur did not truly die, but rather that he was put in an enchanted sleep and it is said that he will return again in an hour of great need.

For hundreds of years the Arthur story has been retold in its various forms, though even ancient historians considered it nothing more than a myth. But in the twelfth century, evidence surfaced that suggested that one of history's most popular figures might have been more than a mere legend.

In the year 1190, the monks of Glastonbury Abbey in England announced an incredible discovery. According to historical record, the monks began to experience dreams and visions about King Arthur around that time, which prompted them to consult with King Henry II (AD 1133-1189). Henry informed them of a long-kept secret of the royal family: Arthur's remains were buried in the churchyard of St. Dunstan in Glastonbury. A search was soon commissioned.

Upon excavating the indicated area, the searchers unearthed a massive oak trunk, buried sixteen feet deep just as Henry had described. Inside was a human skeleton which confirmed that they had discovered something special. It was absolutely gigantic. It appeared to be much taller than an average man, and the space between the eye sockets was as wide as the palm of a man's hand. Apparently, this famous king was truly larger than life.

This skeleton was not alone in its coffin. Alongside it was a second, lying next to a plait of blonde hair. The identities of the two remains were described on an archaic lead cross which was found nearby, inscribed with the Latin message "Hic jacet sepultus inclitus rex Arthurus in insula Avalonia," meaning "Here lies interred the famous King Arthur on the Isle of Avalon."

All in all, this was exciting stuff. Men and women flocked to Glastonbury from the surrounding regions, and King Henry II interred the ancient bones. Glastonbury soon became wealthy from the offerings and alms given by those who made the pilgrimage, and few questioned the authenticity of the find. Indeed, a few decades earlier the contemporary historian Geoffrey of Monmouth had claimed that Glastonbury was built on the site of ancient Avalon.

It turns out that Arthur's grave was not the first historically significant discovery made by the monks of Glastonbury. In 1184, they had allegedly found the remains of St. Patrick. However, this claim failed to convince most people, since it was widely believed that St. Patrick had been buried in Ireland. Soon after this incident, the monks of the town had found the bones of famed Saint Dunstan. This discovery, too, was not widely believed. Though St. Dunstan had begun his career in Glastonbury, he ultimately relocated to Canterbury and had been buried there.

It was several years later that the monks found the grave of King Arthur. The discovery was fortuitous, because the monastery was rumored to be in financial trouble. In 1184, the monastic building and church of Glastonbury had been razed to the ground in a fire, leaving the monks of the town in dire monetary straits. However, if an abbey were in possession of a sacred relic, then it would be assured revenue. People would visit from far and wide to see pieces of the cross, clothes and objects of the saints and bones. King Arthur was not a religious figure, but as one of the foremost heroes in legendary history, his remains attracted a great deal of medieval tourists.

While the circumstances of the discovery cast it in a suspicious light, the story was supported by King Henry II King Edward, who had succeeded Henry III and who had no need for money. But he may have had political motives in backing such a hoax; England was being ruled by Norman conquerors. The Saxons generally accepted these rulers, but those belonging to the Celtic fringes did not. Among those who revolted against the Norman invaders, it was widely believed that Arthur would one day return and fend off the invaders. With proof that the Celts' savior was truly dead, Edward would secure a greater hold on his subjects. He interred the bones of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, symbolically aligning his reign with that of England's most famous hero and putting the matter to rest.

Taken all together, the evidence strongly suggests that the grave of King Arthur was just an elaborate hoax, designed to benefit several parties. Unfortunately the bones and the cross went missing centuries ago, so the evidence cannot be examined using modern techniques. But if they are ever rediscovered, even if they prove to be forgeries, these artifacts would be an interesting testament to the enduring legacy of political trickery and propaganda.

Capturing Beauty

Part One

`Capturing Beauties Rose'

Jon Presco

"Many men say that there is nothing in dreams but fables and lies,
but one may have dreams which are not decietful, whose import becomes
quite clear afterward."

Thus begins the `Romaunt of the Rose' by Chaucer, that ends thus

"The ending of the tale you see
The Lover draws anigh the tree,
And takes the branch, and takes the rose,
That love and he so dearly chose."

My daughter Heather was born on Rosemary's Birthday, September 26,
1984. Eighteen months ago she was introduced to me by an angel, in a
dream. A month ater we would meet for the first time, she just
turning sweet sixteen. She never met her grandmother, Rosemary, or
her aunt,Christine, the world renouned artist, Rosamond, they passing
away before this rose, this branch of the family could be found.

When I was twenty three I let my hair grow long after the Nazarite
Artists of Germany a group who would inspire Dante Gabriel Rossetti
to form the Pre-Raphaelite Artists of Great Britain. Fair Rosamond
and the Romaunt of the Rose was an inspriration to the Pre-
Raphaelites, who like the Nazarite Artists, were bringing back a
religious theme to Art. Both groups drew upon Arthurian and Grail
legends that have been recently been linked to the Knight Templars
who are said to have been Nazarites, and who worshipped John the
Baptist, a Nazarite for life.

Rossetti did a painting of Rosamond, and Edward Burne-Jones did two,
not counting his `Briar Rose' series who was named Rosamond by Grimm
in his tale of `Sleeping Beauty', who I identify as the sleeping
goddess, Ariadne. King Henry built a bower and Labyrinth for Fair
Rosamond, that might have been used to initiate the Templars into an
ancient Hermetic teaching. Lord Tennyson includes her in his poem `A
Dream of Fair Women', and Swinburne wrote an epic poem titled `The
Queen Mother and Rosamond'.

Gautheir de Coste Calprenede makes Rosamonde the paramour of
Pharamond King of the Long-haired Franks. Swinburne wrote a similar
work about another paramour of the Merovinians titled `Chronicle of
Fredegond,Rosamond'. Pharamond descends from Fromond, a name that
appears twice in a branch of the Rougemont/Rosemont genealogy, and
are the Lords of Neufchatel who become the De La Roche family, also
known as De La Rosa, a name born of the Rock and the Rose. Our Dreams
have come true.

Christine Rosamond Presco, a `Rose of the World' was born October 24,
1947 in Vallejo California. Christina was the third child of Victor
and Rosemary, our mother one of four beautiful daughters born to the
writer and poet, Royal Rosamond, and Mary Magdalene Wieneke. Royal
and Mary met in Los Angeles where Mary went to live after leaving her
father's farm in Iowa. Seeking her independance, as a young woman
Mary worked as a seamtress in Downtown L.A. The Wienekes were said to
have owned castles in Germany. Mary was a frequent guest at
Krishnamurti's retreat in the Ojai Valley where her brother had a
farm and may have delved in the philosophy of the Theosophic Society.
Royal wrote stories for `Out West' the `Arcadian' and several Romance
magazines, he sailing to the Anacapa Islands with is friend, Dashiel
Hammet, the author of the `Maltese Falcon', a mystery novel that was
made into a movie about the search for a golden falcon once belonging
to the Knights Templars. Royal taught Earl Stanley Gardner the
rudiments of writing. Royal's poem `Your Name' could well acompany
Rossetti's painting of the young man writing his lover's name in the
sand.

Living by the sea in Ventura California, Rosemary, and her sister,
Lillian, were courted by the famous actor, Errol Flyn, thus, there
was a powerful sense of the Romantic in our household that would
influence both Christine's and my work. All the Rosamond women were
beautiful, they the arhetypes for the rosy women that began to peer
gracefully from their canvases in the early seventies at a changing
world, their beauty and strength heralding in the Woman's Movement,
the very idea women could now own their own Creation and Creations.
In the words of Swineburne's Fair Rosamond;

"But that I am
Part of the perfect witness for the world."

My dear sister drowned off the Coast of Carmel on March 26,1994. The
legacy this complex person left behind is an important one as we were
both influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite artists who are at the core of
Grail Mysteries that have surfaced once again in the Quest for
Religious and Spiritual pertinence. The name Rosamond means `Rose of
the World' and is one of the names applied to the Shekinah which is
the `Light of the World' that I believe is found at the center of the
Labyrinth, like the one King Henry the second built for the love of
his life, Fair Rosamond. He also built a Well and Arcadia for her
after the story of Tristan and Isolde. A Grail Cup entwined in a vine
was engraved on her tomb. She has been compared to Mary Magdalene by
some authors, and a Catholic Bishop upon seeing how she was being
worshipped by Knights about to go on Crusade, had her remains removed
from the Nunnery at Glascow, and scattered to the wind; he calling
her a whore.

Christine gave me credit for being her teacher, my art touring the
world in a Red Cross show when I was twelve, and then again when I
was sixteen. In 1970 I discovered Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Pre-
Raphaelite Brotherhood, they modeling their movement after the
Nazarene artists of Germany, a guild dedicated to bringing back a
spritual base to Germany's fine art. The Rossetti family were all
gifted. Christina Rossetti was an extraordinary poet and was
considered a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Her father
translated `Dante's Inferno' and owned a Publishing firm that her
brother Michael opperated. Dante was a close friend of the famous
poet, Algernon Swineburne, whose poem `The Queen Mother and Fair
Rosamond' became a model and inspiration for all the Pre-Raphaelites
who resurected themes from the Grail Romances, breathing new life
into the Knights and Fair Maidens of our Ancient Dawn, raising a new
light in the search for the Truth.

Many genealogist claim King Henry Plantagenet married Fair Rosamond
Clifford, who like his uncle, Robert Guisgard, King of Sicily, was
allowed more then one wife, as they are of the Seed of King David, a
theme of one of Rossetti's paintings, who also painted a painting
titled `Fair Rosamond'. New information has surfaced that the
Rosamond name comes from Rougemont Switzerland, there a
Rougemont/Rosamond family crest depicting a cross surrounded by
roses, which is the discription of the crest belonging to Rosenkrantz
the founder of the Knights of the Rose Cross.

Rosamond passed into another Realm on her first sober birthday in AA,
we both sharing a Program that gives its Brothers and Sisters a coin
that says this upon it; "Unto they own self be true."

Christina and I were Brother and Sister in Recovery, and in this
Quest that has come full circle, I see how we did climb the Spiritual
Mountain together, with Courage and Imagination so that we may own
the very awakening Rose of our soul. Like an errant Knight who has
made his way through the heavy thorns, roses taking bloom as I go
forward, I now find myself before the Tower of Beauty. And she
assures me as she hands me my reward:

"Spiritual Courage, will be me with, Spiritual Courage."

I was born during a star-shower, my mother too spent to go to the
window where the nurses were being amazed. This story, along with
being told I was the image of my grandfather, Royal Rosamond, (whom I
had never meet) instilled in me a sence of destiny, that there was
something that had been lost, and something to be gained, in
a.Quest?

After my oldest sister Christine drowned, she the world famous
artist `Rosamond', I began to research my family history. In the
Califrornia History room of the Sacramento Library, I found Royal's
stories and poems in several copies of `Out West'. I then began to do
a genealogical research that led me to ask this question "What is in
a name?" I soon found another world in the `Rose of the World' that
was lying dorment, in a tower, surrounded by a tangle of rose
thorns. After four years of intensive research, this Quest of Ion
(Jon) produced an heir to my Quest when I found my beautiful
daughter, Heather Marie. She was born on my mother Rosemary's
birthday. Like the `Rose of Sharon' she is a Foundling to me. I am a
Merlin. This is a tale full of Magical Truths.

The name Rosamond has been called the `Shekinah' "the light of God".
This Tower, this Beacon, that Rose from the Darkness and the harm
that surrounded it, is now called the `Rose of the World Foundation'
that will grow to be a guide for abandoned, throw-away children,
everywhere.

When I was twelve, and again at sixteen, my painting was chosen to
tour the world in a art show sponcored by the Red Cross. This
painting you see on my webpage was painted in 1976. It is my angel
holding a glass fishing net float that came ashore, and was at the
end of its long journey. In 1967 I had a near-death expericance after
falling on dramatic rocks at Point Rayes. This angel is carrying the
world, she offering it back to me. With Love and Grace for the Story,
and the Rose, I take what is mine, and what is yours, is in the
Telling of this Quest.

On July 26th. I refounded the Nazarite Church called the `Watchers of
God'. I am the Bishop of this Church. I bid all those who so desire
to take the oath of the Nazarite, and never again ingest alcohol to
be with God as you know Him. In the altered history of the Bible,
later scribes of the usurpers have David killing Goliath, who along
with his five brothers, were Nazarites. These were the Dactyls, the
Guardian Angels of the infant Zeus.

When the twin towers, the two Giants that guard the island city of
New York, were toppled, the Warriors of God, arose form their spleep.
The Giants of the Bible, the Nephilim walk amongst us once again.
Nephilim means "fallen splendor".

The Nazarites are also the Corybantes who brought Architecture, Art,
and Musical instruments to the Greeks. The Dactyls taught Orpheus how
to finger-sign and play the lyre, causing the sun to rise each day.
King David was a Nazarite, who played the lyre, and made riddles in
his songs that drove King Saul mad to solve them. Goliath's family
are the sons of Rhea. In the giving of this clue, many riddles can
now be solved. The Kingdom of God is at hand, in the hand
of `sculptor' and the Compassionate Father of `The Way'. May that way
open to you now.

Rouge et Noir

Soul, wilt thou toss again?
By just such a hazard
Hundreds have lost, indeed,
But tens have won an all.

Angels' breathless ballot
Lingers to record thee;
Imps in eager caucus
Raffle for my soul.

Emily Dickinson

My mother Rosemary married the only son of a Gambler, Victor William
Presco. His father, Hugo Presco, was the son of Wenzel Anton Presco
who immigrated from Bohemia. He was a Freemason and esoteric scholar.
Our home was filled with fine antiques and rare books whose titles
suggest Wenzel was a true Bohemian, a man forever in search of
another way, a new path. "Know thyself" and "To thy own self be true"
were our family mottos, a quest that would be intercepted by
alcoholism, mental illness, and a life full of vice that would
consume my mother's very soul and being, she one of the most romantic
people I have ever met, and the most captivating story teller. She
was the daughter of a story teller. Rosemary's father, Royal
Rosamond, wrote novels about the Moon-shiners of the Ozarks, and ran
book in Ventura by the sea where he owned Brakey's Cash Bazaar. He
once approached Al Capone for a loan to purchase a cement company. He
was good friends with Dashiel Hammet, and taught Earl Stanely Gardner
the rudiments of writing.

Rosemary grew up in Ojai, Ventura, and the Valley where a home movie
of her was shot when she was sixteen, she riding horses and shooting
pistols, with the newly built Camereo Mental Hospital in the
background, it all by itself in the bean fields. Rosemary was a very
cryptic person, and often told her four children she had a
scholarship to Camereo. She owned a great since of humor, and
unforgettable laugh. She was ironic, and gave us lessons in irony.

Rouge et Noir was a popular card game played in the notorious Barbary
Coast of San Francisco. I was told when Hugo died 5,000 people came
to his funeral held in S.F. including the Mayor. There were
prostitutes and barflys mixed in with City dignitaries. Hugo made his
living gambling, he living on a houseboat in Crockett that had at one
time sixty gambling rooms and houses of ill-reput. Hugo married
Melba, the daughter of William Stuttemiester who married the daughter
of Charles Janke the founder of Belmont Calfifornia. Charles brought
six portable houses around the Cape on a Clipper ship, and set them
up south of S.F. and sold them to Gold Miners who had struck it rich.
He founded Belmont Soda works that made sarsparilla from a special
formula he brought from Germany. He also founded the first theme park
in the West, modeled after a German Village, and called
it `Transferan' which would become the name of the conglomerate that
owns the two horse tracks in the Bay Area. Visitors to this park had
to hire their own police force, and built a private jail in
Tranferan. They would get real rowdy, often wrecking the train on the
trip back to the City. Cocaine was put in most everything back then.
Holding one's liquor was not the only problem.

 You must remember the Church's power was great during the time you are speaking of. Many groups/families would pretend to be part of the Church's faithful, only to be practicing their true beliefs in private so they would not be found as a hieratic. You never fight a battle you can't win. This is why information has been hidden and or handed down to others to reveal it at the right time, so the messages and relics would not be destroyed or distorted.

Phoenix Rising

Jon Presco — 2013-04-13T16:28:18

Yesterday I met with my trustee. Again we talked about contacting the trustee of the Rice Family Trust about getting checks from him made out to my trustee and the mortuary that cremated my adopted son, Hollis William. This will not happen. However, I agreed to pay at least $60 dollars a month after learning the Rice Trust can pay for my gasoline. This is key, as you will see.

Three days ago while driving Big Blue around town with my kindred, Michael Dundon, all of a sudden I announced there is going to be a huge catastrophe. Michael asked me if it was going to be a world event. I said;

"Yes!"

"How about that crazy Korean leader?"

"He'll do!"

"Kim Jong Un needs to understand, as I think he probably does, what the outcome of a conflict would be," Kerry said. "Our hope is we can get back to talks."

Both the U.S. and Japan have defense systems ready should North Korea's missiles pose a threat. NBC's Richard Engel reports.

"The rhetoric that we are hearing from North Korea is simply unacceptable by any standard," Kerry added. The United States "will, if needed, defend our allies and defend ourselves," he said.

What I saw was the present was being affected by an event in the future. People were not driving right. They were in a daze. As I explained before in regards to Dream Time, time is like the radiating ripples one gets when a rock is thrown into a still pond. Time is felt in the past and in the future, as well as the present by human beings. I can not speak for animals. Do angels speak to human beings?

This morning my angel told me there is no time to finish and publish my books, and that I am to deliver THE MESSAGE to you directly. I am going to reveal to you the core of my study, give THE SECRET of it away for free. There may be no more time. We may be running out of time. For over a year, I have not been shown A FUTURE. I am going to show you the NAME or the lack of THREE NAMES.

Let me refer you to John Chapter 17;

"I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are."

"I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one."

Is Jesus alive or dead when he spoke these words on the Mount of Olives? Who recorded these words if all the disciples were asleep, and, Jesus was about to be arrested? After reading the Bible for the first time at the age of fifty, I found this NAME to be the greatest riddle. All prophesies taken from Revelations, and turned into religions, is a GREAT DETOUR. This is why Christians have lost their way the way to be ONE WITH GOD! This WAY comes directly from the source. What need of Paul and John Darby, the founder of the Evangelical movement?

Here is the link to a Biblical study I found a year ago that parallels my own. When Vincent and June Rice left most members of their family nearly a half millions dollars, I called for a family reunion at Vicki's house in Bullhead City. At dinner I said grace and adopted Vincent and June as my parents, for they had no children. I announced that we all were their children and grandchildren.

After my daughter betrayed me, and put my grandson in the arms of drunken Philistines, I dismissed her as my trustee after she called me a "parasite" because I was on SSI. Hollis got on SSI three months ago. Heather Hanson further shamed me by reminding me I had not served in the military. When I asked her if her drunken lover served, she said;

"No! But, at least he wanted to!"

After I disowned Heather on the phone, she said;

"Don't you want me there when you die?"

She then heard how that sounded, and quickly added;

"I don't want any of your money, the trust money!"

Hollis wanted to be part of my family. He had no family. I wanted to pay for Hollis' funeral with the money my kindred owned while they were in the world. Hollis made me a member of his extended family, after my family tossed me away.

Above is a photo of I with Vincent. June gave me the car you see on the right. In 1965 I tied my paintings to the roof of the my 1958 Ford Fairlane, and drove back to Oakland. In 1976 I tied my paintings atop another car, and drove down to Los Angeles with them to show to my famous sister. After a confrontation with her new husband, a bartender, I became homeless. Marilyn directed me to the Topanga Christian Church where I stayed with other homeless people in the pews. Gary the minister preached on Hollywood Boulevard. Gary was a good friend of Bryan MacLean who came and visited me. Bryan attended another church where Bob Dylan became saved. Bryan and Christine were lovers in 1964.

There is no genealogy for Samson's father, and his mother's name is never given. The name of the angel that foretold the barren woman old in years would give birth to a son is not given! Why

I believe The Angel is God's personal angel whom the Nazarites are enjoined to when they take the vow of the Nazarite, as I did in 1987. When Nazarites take the vow they are given THE NAME, and become like God. This is to say, they become God's Angels. They are filled with the Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit!

In 1992 I sought therapy from a woman who works with artists. There were paintings of Phoenix Birds all over her walls done by clients. After getting sober in 1987, I was looking for a way to unite the two creative siblings in our family, restore the loving bond we once owned. When I failed to do a simple genealogy, I was dismissed by my therapist. I was named after John the Baptist because I was born three days after the Day of Atonement during an amzing star-shower. Today, I am world-class genealogist.

Hollis once had a drinking problem. I consider him to be June and Vicent's adopted grandparents, because, my aunt and uncle saw me as their child, their son. I am wearing a white shirt with a cast on my hand. I am a Prodigal Son. Christine's funeral fell on her fist sober birthday, March 27, 1994.

I suspect the Angel with no name was a Phoenix Bird, who could take the form of a man a king! The early Christians worshipped the Phoenix. Why?

I was born to show you why! I have come to take the chosen children home!

The Birth of Samson

13 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so the Lord delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.

2 A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was childless, unable to give birth. 3 The angel of the Lord appeared to her and said, "You are barren and childless, but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. 4 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean. 5 You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines."

6 Then the woman went to her husband and told him, "A man of God came to me. He looked like an angel of God, very awesome. I didn't ask him where he came from, and he didn't tell me his name. 7 But he said to me, `You will become pregnant and have a son. Now then, drink no wine or other fermented drink and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from the womb until the day of his death.'"

8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord: "Pardon your servant, Lord. I beg you to let the man of God you sent to us come again to teach us how to bring up the boy who is to be born."

9 God heard Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman while she was out in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her. 10 The woman hurried to tell her husband, "He's here! The man who appeared to me the other day!"

11 Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he said, "Are you the man who talked to my wife?"

"I am," he said.

12 So Manoah asked him, "When your words are fulfilled, what is to be the rule that governs the boy's life and work?"

13 The angel of the Lord answered, "Your wife must do all that I have told her. 14 She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink any wine or other fermented drink nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her."

15 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, "We would like you to stay until we prepare a young goat for you."

16 The angel of the Lord replied, "Even though you detain me, I will not eat any of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the Lord." (Manoah did not realize that it was the angel of the Lord.)

17 Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the Lord, "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?"

18 He replied, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding.[a]" 19 Then Manoah took a young goat, together with the grain offering, and sacrificed it on a rock to the Lord. And the Lord did an amazing thing while Manoah and his wife watched: 20 As the flame blazed up from the altar toward heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. Seeing this, Manoah and his wife fell with their faces to the ground. 21 When the angel of the Lord did not show himself again to Manoah and his wife, Manoah realized that it was the angel of the Lord.

22 "We are doomed to die!" he said to his wife. "We have seen God!"

23 But his wife answered, "If the Lord had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and grain offering from our hands, nor shown us all these things or now told us this."

24 The woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson. He grew and the Lord blessed him, 25 and the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him while he was in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. 13 But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteousto make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

Hollis Lee Williams

Jon Presco — 2013-03-18T15:42:42

The memorial for Hollis Lee Williams was a spectacular success. About seventy-five members of Mr. H's extended family were in attendance. I will do a more thorough report on this important event in a few days when I get photos. I want to give my e-mail address so folks can send me their photos and input.

braskewitz< at >yahoo.com

Above is a letter that was left on H's altar, titled `My Parking Lot Friend'. About twelve people spoke and gave similar testimonies.

When Hollis and his friend. Steve, was banned from Safeway, I suggested we place blankets down in the parking lot of the Post Office, put some items on it for sale of trade, and thus own the legal right to assemble in a public place that is protected by our Constitution.

The Post Office was also created in order for newspapers to mail news to other towns. Freedom of the Press was the first thing King George wanted to oppress. The Rich Evangelical-right of King Jesus, passed a law that ensured the Post Office would fail, and then fall into private hands. They did this so We the Little People will come into their church for the latest news on the coming end of the world, and shop at the mega-stores their wealthy backers have created while leveling mom and pop stores. If the world is coming to an end why go shopping? Well, if the world is only coming to an end for the poor so be it?

Jesus spoke 166 times in a market place. When you look through his eyes, one only beholds the disabled, beggars, and the disnefranchised. Not one royal person do you see as he spread the Good News!

"The modern Post Office originated in 1792 as the Post Office Department (USPOD). It was based on the Constitutional authority empowering Congress "To establish post offices and post roads". The new law provided for a greatly postal network, and served editors by charging newspapers an extremely low rate. The law guaranteed the sanctity of personal correspondence, and provided the entire nation with low-cost access to information on public affairs, while establishing a right to personal privacy."

Three years earlier, the Tea Party Crazies gathered in front of the Springfield Post Office, and thus began their fake financial crisis aimed at giving wealthy people more power than ever, and even putting an end to trickle down economics. They claimed there was a national emergency that bid common patriots to take immediate action. Many alleged Christians fill their ranks. If it were not for a secular government program, Mr. H would have died under a bridge, and not been found in weeks. Thanks to HUD-Vash, H died in his home, in his bed, and was found in hours by his friend.

One friend shared this with me, that after H was discovered by the police who heard him coughing, they spread lye on the ground to keep him from crawling back under this bridge to get out of the rain so he would not get sicker!

For years Hollis tried unsuccessfully to get on Medicaid. He was in a state of emergency. The church I have founded in his name will turn Christianity on end, flip it over like an hour-glass. The recovered trickle up Plan of God and Son will eliminate the False Crisis created by the fake political evangelical church of the stingy and totally selfish who are not patriots. Mr. H was a Patriot. There are millions of true Americans wanting to give comfort to our Homeless Vets directly. No longer will the false church use images of the homeless as signs of the coming Blessed Doomsday when images of wealthy bankers being arrested for fraud will suffice! How about the lawns of the rich drying up and turning brown? Then, their garbage man stops coming?

I got a report that HUD-Vash is going to do a Standown once a week. I will work with this program to see to it the folks of our community can help our Vets, DIRECTLY, treat them like the militias were treated in the small towns that sent their young men off to battle the greatest military force the world knew at the time, the British army.

Our church will make it a great sin to deny aide to anyone born with a affection, or take away monies from those who were deemed `Born Sinners'. Jesus said;

"I have come to minister to the born-sinners, and not the self-righteous."

The priests of Israel, and Sanhedrin, passed a law that said anyone born with an affliction, was pre-marked by God a sinner while in their mother's womb, thus no Rabbi need minister to them, encourage them to pray to God that He relieve them of their suffering. Never-the-less these crippled and blind folks could not believe that their God would turn His back on any of His children no matter what their king, and the priests who tended to their ever need said! Here is the Birth of Democracy, for these disenfanchised BELIEVERS, owned a real FAITH, that their God would send a Redeemer to REPLEAL THIS EVIL LAW!

"Your faith has healed you."

It was their physical suffering, coupled with their undying faith God was STILL their Redeemer, that did all the work. The Son of God just applied the finishing touch! In this, we find the story of Hollis who owned a certain light according to those who testified about the wonderful messages they recieved from the one who was the least amongst us, and spent most of his time in the market place.

Right-wing Christian claim God founded our Democracy. If true, then anyone who fought for God's Country, should not have to die a painful and horrible death as a negelcted homeless person. Hollis drowned. His heart condition produced fluids that got in his lungs. He was in excrutiating pain, but kept it to himself. He could not take a shower because the steam made him feel he was drowning. I gave him a fan to blow the steam away, and that helped.

When Jesus was poked with a spear while on the cross, water came out.

"But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out kblood and water."

What I am going to do is petition my lawmakers to get a Stand-down on Post Office grounds for Veteran and Citizen alike every Saturday! The world is not coming to an end. Only the neglect of our homeless veterans.

Amen!

Jon the Nazarite

Last week, President Obama sat down with George Stephanopoulos, and when the discussion turned to the national debt, the president shared a simple fact: "We don't have an immediate crisis."

For reasons unclear, the comment was not well received by Republicans and many in the media, with some suggesting a bipartisan debt-reduction agreement may be dependent, at least in part, on Obama saying the opposite.

But then a funny thing happened. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) unveiled his budget plan, and it also conceded there is no immediate debt crisis. Yesterday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) made the same concession to Martha Raddatz.

RADDATZ: Is [Obama] right that we don't have an immediate crisis?

BOEHNER: We do not have an immediate debt crisis, but we all know that we have one looming.

Moments later Raddatz clarified further, asking, "So you agree with the president on that?" The Speaker added, "Yes."

This is not to say Boehner and Obama are on the same page when it comes to fiscal issues in general, they're very far apart but for all the handwringing last week about the president saying there is no debt crisis, it seems to be one of the few areas of bipartisan agreement. Obama, Boehner, and Ryan are all saying roughly the same thing about the nature and the timeframe of the challenge: there may be dangers on the horizon, but as of right now, the so-called "crisis" doesn't exist.

And at this point, any area of bipartisan consensus in the fiscal debate is welcome.

The problem comes when we consider what the two sides want to do next.

I should note, of course, that the idea that there's a "looming" crisis is itself problematic there's very little evidence to suggest there's an actual problem anywhere on the horizon. Interest rates are low, inflation is low, and it's never been easier for the United States to borrow at will. If we look for indicators of a genuine crisis in the near future Boehner told ABC "nobody knows" how long the nation has before there's a real problem we generally come up empty.

But if policymakers in both parties insist on addressing fiscal issues anyway, they're going to have to compromise. What kind of deal is the House Speaker prepared to consider? One in which the White House gives him everything he wants.

"The president got his tax hikes on January the 1st. The talk about raising revenue is over."

Told that Obama is offering entitlement reforms as part of a compromise, Boehner didn't care.

This is neither new nor surprising, but it does put this talk of an alleged "crisis" in an interesting light. According to the Speaker of the House, there's a "looming" debt crisis which will cause the nation real harm. And according to the Speaker of the House, he and his party aren't willing to compromise to address this crisis before is strikes.

This leads to two possibilities: either Boehner doesn't really believe there's a "looming" debt crisis, or believes the threat to the nation's wellbeing is real and he just doesn't much care about preventing it.

I'd love to know which of these two is accurate, but for now, we can only speculate.

Question: "Why did blood and water come out of Jesus' side when He was pierced?"

Answer: The Roman flogging or scourging that Jesus endured prior to being crucified normally consisted of 39 lashes, but could have been more (Mark 15:15; John 19:1). The whip that was used, called a flagrum, consisted of braided leather thongs with metal balls and pieces of sharp bone woven into or intertwined with the braids. The balls added weight to the whip, causing deep bruising and contusions as the victim was struck. The pieces of bone served to cut into the flesh. As the beating continued, the resulting cuts were so severe that the skeletal muscles, underlying veins, sinews, and bowels of victims were exposed. This beating was so severe that at times victims would not survive it in order to go on to be crucified.

Those who were flogged would often go into hypovolemic shock, a term that refers to low blood volume. In other words, the person would have lost so much blood he would go into shock. The results of this would be

1) The heart would race to pump blood that was not there.

2) The victim would collapse or faint due to low blood pressure.

3) The kidneys would shut down to preserve body fluids.

4) The person would experience extreme thirst as the body desired to replenish lost fluids.

There is evidence from Scripture that Jesus experienced hypovolemic shock as a result of being flogged. As Jesus carried His own cross to Golgotha (John 19:17), He collapsed, and a man named Simon was forced to either carry the cross or help Jesus carry the cross the rest of way to the hill (Matthew 27:3233; Mark 15:2122; Luke 23:26). This collapse indicates Jesus had low blood pressure. Another indicator that Jesus suffered from hypovolemic shock was that He declared He was thirsty as He hung on the cross (John 19:28), indicating His body's desire to replenish fluids.

Prior to death, the sustained rapid heartbeat caused by hypovolemic shock also causes fluid to gather in the sack around the heart and around the lungs. This gathering of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called pericardial effusion, and the fluid gathering around the lungs is called pleural effusion. This explains why, after Jesus died and a Roman soldier thrust a spear through Jesus' side (probably His right side, piercing both the lungs and the heart), blood and water came from His side just as John recorded in his Gospel (John 19:34).

Templars of Bellevaux

Jon Presco — 2013-02-16T23:03:18

I just found the Abbey Bellevaux where the Lords of Rougemont, and the Bishops of Besançon are buried. The Rougemonts were Knights Templar and owners of the Shroud of Turin as were the Lords of La Roche. Pons La Roche was the founder of Bellevaux where very possibley my Rougemont ancestors are buried. Pons is close kindred of the De Bar and Habsburg family. Why would the Habsburg keep their connection to the Knights Templar and Shroud of Turin a secret? The Habsburgs were `defenders of the Catholic faith'.

I am going to make a pilgrimage to this Abbey Bellevaux and own the end of my book. I am looking for backers of my expedition. Who would like to go with?

The Lords of Rougemont and Ferrette also owned Florimont (mountain of flowers) castle where modern day (1785) Knights of Ferrette gathered, and a Raja M built a house dedicated to the troubadours. (1892) Are we looking at the first pseudo-history of the Templars?

Thibaud Rougemont was a co-fpunder of the Priory Marast.

The Florimont castral site dominates the village (old town in the medieval sense), at the confluence of the Coeuvatte and the Vendeline. The location is an authentic military site which, according to tradition, would have already been occupied by a garrison to Gallo-Roman times.

The castle is first mentioned in a deed signed by Ulrich II of Ferrette to Blumenberg (Fisher) in 1258. His son Louis also became Lord of the place. February 9, 1309, the lordship including the castle is called into Oblate fief to the Bishop of Basel Otto de grandson by count Thibaut, brother of Louis de Ferrette-Florimont. The Castle has a cited Chapel in 1309 (see Alsatia munita, Bernhard Metz).

Bellevaux, Bella Vallis was founded by Pons i. rock and Etienne de Traves in 1119, he is the first daughter of theAbbey of Morimond and also was the first Cistercian Abbey in Franche-Comté[1].
The birth of the Abbey of Bellevaux coincides with the appearance of the line of likely from La Roche sur Ognon Lords of Lords Scey and Traves. a land area it is made with the help of the Lords of Cirey and Chambornay[1].
The Church was consecrated in 1143 and dedicated to our Lady[1].
The Abbey will depend on four barns in 1139, eight in 1178 (Cirey, Magny, Valleroy, Baslieres, Trevey, Argirey, Champoux and Braillans the last two for a clearing nearby)[1].
Although much lower in importance than the neighboringAbbey of Cherlieu, Bellevaux participates in the swarming of the abbeys as a result of his mother Morimond : from 1124, it contributes to the creation of theLucelle Abbey in the diocese of Basel and then to the diocese of Lausanne, to Montheron (c. 1130)[1]. In its close proximity, it creates Theuley institutions (1130), Rosières (1132) and La Charité (1133). then, the Lords of La Roche became Lords in Attica as a result of the Fourth Crusade, theAbbey of Daphni (sometimes referred to as "Laurum Abbey" in certain acts)[2], in present Greece[1].
At the end of the XIIe century, the Abbey has the chance to get the very important relics: those of Pierre de Tarentaise. Former monk became Archbishop of Tarentaise (1141-1174), he traverses the Burgundy to get to the Pope's support in its fight against the emperor when the death surprised him. Despite the wishes of the canons of Tarentaise, it is buried at Bellevaux, and reputation of holy man and miracle worker, was canonized in 1191[1].
Bellevaux therefore became an important centre of pilgrimage of many nobles in the area while (first among which the Lords of La Roche) and even three archbishops of Besançon (Gérard, Nicolas and Odo de Rougemont are buried in the Abbey Church[1]. After the French Revolution, the relics are transferred to the Church of Cirey.
From thee century XIV, barns are leased and the Abbey invests in the Saltworks of Lons-le-Saunier and Salins. They are building a mansion in Besançon. Workforce down to about 20 monks (18 in 1352 during the visit of the Abbot of Morimond)[1].
The situation is more difficult: the Abbey had six monks in 1497 and it comes to expose the relics of Pierre de Tarentaise exceptionally to attract the alms to repair the Church[1].
The order itself little by little: Jean Rolin, son of the Chancellor Rolin became Abbot in 1455. It is definitive from 1551 and the abbacy of Pierre D'andelot[1].

Fisher: the home of 1892, troubadour style whose principaleest Tower flanked by a stair turret.The lordship married the same story as that of the County of Ferrette and will become "Austrian" in 1324 following the marriage of Jeanne de Ferrette with Albert II of Habsburg. Many noble families rent places to the Austrians. The zum Stein, for example, work at the castle in 1467. In the following decades, the existence of the Chapel, dedicated to saint George, is confirmed.
The Castle, also committed in the Reinach and the Fugger, has work in 1476-1486. In 1577, a fire causes serious damage to the building that once repaired, suffered the outrages soldiers, in 1635 (thirty years war).
After the arrival of the French in the region, the seigneury was handed over to a certain family Baker until 1785, then Ferrette Knights (that have nothing to do with the advantage family of the same name). The strongly ruined castle was not rebuilt.
In its place is built by Raja M. in 1892 a pseudo-medievale home of troubadour style whose Tower main, still visible and flanked by a spiral staircase turret, could occupy the location of the primitive keep. The top of this tower, itself now greatly ruined, was equipped with originally a false crenellated parapet and fake battlements.

The Rougemonts The Premiere Shroud Family

http://tinyurl.com/yku9cw

Bernard de Tramelay/Dramelay was a Grand Master of the Knight Templars who is said to have died just after he and forty Knight Templars breached the walls of Ascalon during the Crusades. Information on Bernard is very scarce, it suggested his greed got him and the forty Templars killed, as the first to conquer a city got the lion's share of the spoils. There is a suggestion there was a falling out between the Templars and the Christian forces who did not follow Bernard into the breach. When the Muslim defenders saw this, they closed on Bernard who I suspect was trying to capture the Ark of the Covenant that Joseph Flavius said was in Ascalon. The Templars were very keen to own the Ark, and when they first arrived at the temple grounds they began to dig extensively, especially atop the Mount of Olives where they built a substantial fortress. Did they suspect what I have put forth, that the Ark was either the Oracle of Delphi, or kin to this object and the process which allowed great men and women to see their fate? I suspect Absalom was an Oracle, the angel Ariel/Uriel.

For two years now I have been looking at the name Fromond de Dramelay who married a "dame de Rougemont". He is shown in many genealogies (including a Rougemont chart) to be the son of Amedee, the Archbishop of Besancon, which is located fifty miles or so from Rougemont in the Franche-Comte where it is said Bernard was born. His father was named Humbert. All the Humbert names I have found on the net belong to the Ferrette/Rougemont family. Several Rougemonts were the Archbishops of Besancon. The Templars were also in possession of the Shroud of Turin that was given to Amedee by Othen de la Roche (of the small rock). It has been concluded that Bernard de Tramelay is the related to Amedee.

The de la Roche family is kin to the Rougemont and Dramelay family. j. Jean de Montreaux (Montrose) married Marguerite de Rougemont. Jean is a Ferrette who built Montreux castle that is fifty miles from Rougemont. Their daughter Alix married Fromond of Saint-Loup where the Templars are said to have brought their treasure. The Marquis d'Auxelles came to live in the rebuilt castle of Rougemont. Chambrun d'Uxeloup de Rougemont bought Arginy castle and began to look for the lost Templar treasure. The name Uxeloup come from Saint-Loup and Auxelles a castle that was built by the Ferrette family who dwelt in Rougemont castle. Members of the `Arginy Renaissance' are said to be descendants from Knight Templars, even a Grand Master in regards to Guillaume de Beajeau, but, I suspect this group knew who Bernard Tramelay was..and what he captured at Ascalon?

Marguerite de Saint Loup d'Auxelles married Thibaut 4 of Rougemont. Richard d'Auxelles married Thibaut's daughter, Helvuis, whose grandfather was Humbert. This Humbert appears to be the Archbishop of Besancon, a name that means "house of light". Here is a quote about the Rougemonts and Counts of Champagne who commisioned some of the Grail legends; "By skillful policy, "always acquiring never alienating" the family formed matrimonial alliances with the great families, Montbeliard, Commercy, Chatteauvillian, Geroldseck, Chalon- Auxere, Montague, Ray, Rougemont, Joinville, and Grandson."

Shround of Turin and Knights of Saint-George The Knights of Saint-George met at Rougemont Castle and had a room in a tower in Besancon. The Archbishop of Besancon resided over a ritual there that involved ceratin relics. Was the Shroud of Turnin one of them? "A room in the tower of Montmartin was granted to him by a treaty with the town of Besancon, as well as the exemption of the housing of people of war for the knights residing in Besancon. The knights of Saint-George were besides only noble city of Besancon has to profit from this inappreciable privilege.

"These portraits like that of the prince of COP, special guard of the brotherhood decorated the superb room with the Large Carmelite friars of Besancon, unfortunately destroyed at the time of the Revolution. The plank of the woodworks of the room was decorated series of the blasonnés ecus of the alive knights, with their confined inscriptions of their four districts, which one descended at the time of their death to be carried in ceremony with the church, then suspended with their row in the nave where one saw a great number of it which had decorated a long time the vault with Rougemont." Archbishops of Besancon 1180-1190 : Thierry II de Montfaucon 1191-1193 : Etienne de Vienne 1993-1220 : Amédée de Tramelay 1221-1225 : Gérard de Rougemont

The Suede Jacket

Jon Presco — 2013-02-10T15:11:54

"How to Clean Suede Material How to Care for a Suede Coat Pretreating

When you get your new suede jacket home from the store, and before you even wear it, you should treat the suede to keep it looking great, especially if you live in a wet climate. Rain is notoriously ruinous to suede, so you'll want to use a protector to help the water bead up and fall off of the jacket, rather than have it absorb and stain it. You can purchase a protecting spray from most shoe stores or fine menswear store, especially formulated for leather and suede. Spray the entire garment and allow to dry before you use it."

"I had expected Drew to climb out." Vicki remembers, "but I was in shock seeing Christine disappear, and hadn't noticed Drew was
still in the water until I heard a voice say: Get Drew. Then I rushed to the water to help her. We were terrified another wave would come at any minute."

Whose voice did Vicki hear? Christine Rosamond has disappeared. Vicki uses the word "We". Who is We? In the drawing that Vicki and I did together the day before Christine's funeral, there were four people in the bowl. Vicki disappeared that drawing and produced a fake drawing allegedly done by Drew, that removed Shamus Dundon from the scene. I was about to question him. As a young man of the family I considered how he felt, he in the Air Force, and not able to rescue his aunt. Did he consider diving into the water? Many family members die trying to save family members. After I saw the home movie Vicki and Shamus made of the finding of Christine's suede jacket, I considered the real possibility Christine threw off her suede jacket, and went into the water to save her daughter who might have gotten careless. But, then there was Drew's extreme fear of ocean she got from her mother. Was Shamus trying to help his cousin overcome her fears? Vicki says Christine and Drew sat down on the same rock with their back to the ocean. Four years prior, Vicki told me how cautious Christine was when they went to a lake together, Christine freaking out whenever Drew made a move towards the water.

Why would there be a cover-up? If Drew and Shamus were reckless, then my niece Shannon would blame them for her mother's death. Shannon was an Heir as well. Vicki was first named executor. Shannon could get her disqualified. Garth did not like Shannon. Shannon would be a continuation of her mother. The Court appointed executor, Sydney Morris, said this to me in our only conversation;

"I'm told your sister was a real pain in the ass!"

As to the report I sent him, he said it reminded him of a book he read `Murder By Accident' where a man takes his wife to the coast and shoves her in the water in order to collect insurance. This was based on a real event. Then there is the idea of an Unlawful Death suit. Witnesses are removed, and first hand accounts are not given. Vicki speaks for many. Vicki puts all the blame on Christine. However, Vicki watched a eight year old sit down on that "final rock" and was not concerned. Surely she wondered why Christine was no longer concerned for Drew?

A couple weeks after Christine drowned, Vicki invited me to lunch. I asked her if my friend, Michael Harkins could come along. Michael had done detective work for the famous PI, William Linhart, who worked for Carl Chessman. At lunch, Vicki made me offer. If I sold the family partnership Rosamond prints at shows, she would give me 50% percent. Vicki had asked me to make shelves for these prints in her closet, they kept under her bed. Michael and I concluded these prints were in the trunk of the Rambler parked outside Christine's home the day of the funeral. Michael pointed out how the back of the car was weighted down. He pointed to the locksmith and said;

"We should ask him to come over and pop the hood."

I turned Vicki's offer down knowing nothing should have been taken from that house that should have been sealed!

I would talk to my father and my cousin Bill Broderick about these prints. Christine and Garth refused to give their partners an accounting, or a proceeds from sales. Vicki had invested $60,000 dollars. She was angry!

After lunch, Vicki took us up to her apartment and put a video on. This video was made a week after Christine died. The bowl fills with water. Vicki says this is what happened that day when the tide was low. The tide is high, as it was that morning.

Shamus now finds Christine's suede jacket high up in the ice-plant where it lay for a week. When a wave hits that wall, a plume of water shoots high into the air. I asked Shamus if he saw this plume and he said he did. This meant the suede jacket got sprayed with sea water, sat in the sun all day, then got wet again at high tide.

After the video, Vicki goes into her closet and gets Christine's jacket and shows it to Michael and I. Michael is trying to get my attention without Vicki noticing. He can not believe it is on pristine shape, there not a spot on it. I got it. But, what dismayed and saddens me is when Vicki puts her hand in the pocket of the jacket, and retrieves several broken mussel shells.

"Drew must have slipped these shells in Christine's pocket while they looked for more tide-pool creatures."

No way! No way would Christine allow anyone to put dirty smelly mussel shells in her expensive jacket. What for? These are not collectable. Drew is eight. She know the difference. Both of these females are artists that have lived on the coast for years. They have good taste! Now, if they were tourists from Nebraska?

Vicki says these shells were in the pools of water next to the rock Christine sat on. I saw these brackish brown pools when I went to Rocky Point. They are formed by the plume of water that has worn the rocks into the shape of a bowl. There are clusters of muscles on the rocks near the fifteen foot wall that drops into the sea. The powerful waves knocked these mussels lose.

There was no corrosion on the sipper. I now considered this cove is not where Christine went into the water.

A week later, Vicki asks me to "handle Michelle" who was Christine's friend, and Vic's. Michelle works for the Defence Language Institute. She was born in France and married a pilot who died in Vietnam. She told me she members it was chilly that morning because the wind was blowing very hard. She lives in Pacific Grove, and goes jogging every morning. She and the ex-police Chief were drinking coffee in a restaurant that morning. They talked about how windy it was. Michelle told me she would talk with the chief. This is when the investigation began. A few days later, I called Vicki up and asked for the names and phone number for the people who lived in the house at Rocky Point. She refused.

The sheriff told me there were about five adults and three children in the main house that Vicki told me was locked, they not able to get in and watch T.V. the night before. How did Christine get a key to open any part of this house? Who had the keys?

Barbara Layne told me she was talking to Vicki, Drew, and Shamus, when Garth Benton drove up. I asked Barbara if he was alone in the car? She said yes. This contradicts the account Garth told Tom Snyder that appears in his biography `When You Close Your Eyes'.

"We were almost there when an ambulance passed us, going the other
way. We both realized it was carrying Christine. My mind flashed back
over the last few months and years, and all the anguish for Nina and
Drew and me, even for Christine. I was crying, and I turned to Nina
this is what I am ashamed of and I said, `we're free. And Drew is
saved."

This can be construed as an alibi that removes Garth from the death scene. Barbara did not see Nina get out of the car or anyone but Garth.

Alan C. Fox owned Rocky Point

Jon Presco — 2013-02-08T21:51:52

The house at Rocky Point where my late sister was invited to by a person unknown, was owned by Alan C. Fox who I just tried to talk to on the phone. I got his secretary who asked my name and what was my business. I told her my name and this was concerning the house he owned at Rocky Point. I was put on hold for twenty seconds. When the secretary came back on, she said;

"Alan does not own that house anymore."
"Then he did own it?"
"Yes, but not in a long time."

I now have an image of Alan, the owner of the place that gave my sister, Christine Rosamond Benton, the last shelter she would enjoy on earth.

Let me make this picture for you: If your teenage daughter called and said she was spending the night at a friends, and she went walking with that friend, and was struck and killed by a car, wouldn't you want to know who this friend was, who the parents were, where they lived, and their telephone number?

I am not saying Alan Fox invited Christine to the house on Rocky Point. If Allan rented this house, then he knew who he rented it to, thus, we may know who invited Christine to be a guest in that house.

Alan's mother was an artist, and Alan is the publisher of `Rattle' a publication that promotes poetry and poets. Royal Rosamond Press was founded in order to protect Artists and Poets. Perhaps Alan would like to know who Christine and her grandfather were? On this site Alan bids one to take an inventory of talented people in your family.

Alan Fox created the Frieda C. Fox Family Foundation in 1999, naming the philanthropy for his mother, a teacher, artist, and musician who was the first in her family to attend college.

Fox, president and founder of a real estate investment and property management company based in Los Angeles, didn't want to leave money in a bequest to a foundation with no track record, so he established the foundation as a pass-through public charity to engage the family in a sort of "trial run. Seven years later, four generations of the Fox family-from Fox's father and Frieda's husband Fred, now in his nineties, to Fox's young grandchildren-are all involved in this grand experiment designed to channel the Fox family's talents and energies for social good.
The experiment got rolling in 1999, and the foundation created the award-winning poetry magazine Rattle. Alan Fox, a poet himself, remains the editor-in-chief of the quarterly journal, and conducts published interviews with featured poets.

Alan, and his wife, Daveen, especially, are pleased that the next generation board experience is providing an opportunity for the younger family members to discover and enhance their own talents, and to learn how they might use them to help others less fortunate.

Alan Fox's experiment was as much a challenge to the Fox family as it was an opportunity: what would the family accomplish together if given the chance?

At year-end 2005, BREW reported a company formed by Gary Dragul of GDA Real Estate Services Inc. in Englewood, Co. and Alan Fox of ACF Property Management Inc. in Studio City, Calif. paying $44 million ($260 per foot) to buy East Thunderbird Square.

The property has been in receivership since the company headed by Dragul and Fox defaulted on a loan that was secured by the retail project, which has an address of 13802 N. Scottsdale Road.

In March 2006, BREW reported companies formed by Dragul and Fox paying $63.5 million ($401.10 per foot) to buy East Thunderbird Square North, which is located at 14202, 14224, 14344 and 14418 N. Scottsdale Road.

While companies formed by Dragul and Fox have lost retail assets in the Valley through foreclosure, other companies formed by the investors have been buying retail properties in the Phoenix area.

American Grandparents of Princess Di

Jon Presco — 2013-02-03T15:51:00

I just found another line to Princess Diana via the aunt of Ann Hart Hull, Anna/Nancy McCurdy, who married Nathan Strong. The Sarah who is buried alongside Jeannette Hart, may be her sister, Sarah, who was digraced when she divorced Samuel F. Jarvis. This would make the plot the resting place of a divorced woman, a woman who had an abortion, a woman who converted to Catholicism. These naughty girls, who sailed the seven sea with Captain Isaac Hull of the Enterprise, defied convention. They were surrounded by men who were Deacons of the Church, and came over to Plymouth. Of course any ligitimate, or illigitimate children of Hull would be esponged from gnenealogies, because he gave Ann and Jeannette, shelter from the storm.

Can one conclude that Diana Spencer got her rebeillious nature from the American Strong/Hart line? Did Queen Eizabeth look to the American grandparents of William and Harry as the source of `The Problem'?

Deacon Stephen Hart1,2
M, b. circa 1605, d. March 1682
Anecdote*: He emigrated from England to Massachusetts Bay about 1632, locating for a while at Newtown (Cambridge) MA. 14 May 1634 he was admitted a freeman in Cambridge. He married, but was widowered, then married again. With Mr. Hooker's company he moved in 1635 to Hartford, and his house lot was on the west side of what was later Front St, near where Morgan St crossed it. There is a tradition that the town is named for a ford he discovered and used to cross the Connecticut River, changing from Hart's Ford to Hartford. Another tradition has it that on a hunting trip on Talcott Mountain, he and others discovered the Farmington River Valley, then occupied by the Tunxis. Probably as soon as 1640 a bargain was made with the Indians, and the whites settled among them with their cattle. They continued a connection with the Hartford settlement, attending worship there, and possibly wintering there until about 1645, when the town was incorporated as Farmington. About that time Roger Newton, a theology student with Rev Thomas Hooker, began to preach for them, and in 1652 was ordained their pastor. Stephen was one of the seven pillars of the church, and was chosen as the first deacon (the six others were Rev Roger Newton, John Cole (Cowles), John Bronson, Robert Porter, Thomas Judd, and Thomas Thompson). He and his wife were constituent members of the church in Farmington (organized Nov 1652), with Rev. Roger Newton pastor. Stephen had been deacon of Rev. Thomas Hooker's church at Cambridge MA and then Hartford CT. He was one of 54 settlers at Cambridge MA, was a proprietor at Hartford in 1639, and one of 84 proprietors of Farmington in 1672. In 1647 he was a deputy of the General Court of CT at their May session. In 1653 he was made a Commissioner by the General Court for the town of Farmington, to aid the constable in impressing men into the army then being raised. He took the lead in settling Farmington, buying a large tract on the border of the present town of Avon, known since as Hart's Farm. He was one of the first representatives in 1647 and with once exception, continued for 15 sessions until 1655, and once in 1660. His house lot was 405 times larger than any others, and was on the west side of Main St, in the village, opposite the meeting house. It had 15 acres, extending from Mill Lane to the stone store south. The lot was granted to him as an inducement to erect and continue a mill onthe premises. The mill was originally erected by the Bronsoms, to whom was granted a tract of 80 acres on the Pequabuk River, later know as the "Eighty Acre". The south part of the Hart hosue lot went to his son John, adn the north to his son Thomas.2

Rev. Nathan Strong D.D. was born on 5 October 1748.1 He was the son of Rev. Nathan Strong and Esther Meacham.1 Rev. Nathan Strong D.D. married Anne Smith, daughter of Dr. Solomon Smith and Ann Talcott, on 20 November 1777.1 Rev. Nathan Strong D.D. married Anna McCurdy.1 Rev. Nathan Strong D.D. died on 25 December 1816 at age 68.1 

Nathan graduated at Yale in 1769, ordained pastor of the First church in Hartford, Ct., January 5, 1774, chaplain in the army of the Revolution. He was a tutor at Yale (1772-3). He was settled on a salary of but £130, which was so poorly paid (as poor salaries usually are), that in a few years his people were in debt to him to the amount of £600. He invested a portion of the estate left him by his father in 1795, in a mercantile establishment which came to a disastrous end, and thus suffered much in a pecuniary way for many years. He was an earnest revival preacher, and was several times blessed with large ingatherings into his church. He published several sermons separately from time to time and two volumes of sermons (the first in 1798, and the second in 1800), designed to give aid and direction in revival efforts. He projected and sustained "The Connecticut Evangelical Magazine" continued through 15 years, a work highly prized. He was the chief founder also of "The Conn. Mss. society," and was its principal manager for several years (1798-1806). In 1796, he published a theological work entitled "The Doctrine of Eternal Misery consistent with the Infinite Benevolence of God." 

After the death of his second wife he remained for the rest of his live (27 years) a widower. He was a man of very original powers of mind, great self-command, unbounded industry, wide erudition and retentive memory, a man of the first class in all respects. While a man of such superior intellect he was also full of fervor both in his pulpit and in his pastoral work. His sermons were short, but clear and pithy, and he had great facility in extemporizing. He was tall and straight, a man of dark complexion with an impressive eye and striking features, and was full of humor and all but uncontrollable wit at times. Work was but pastime to him. He died in the 43rd year of his ministry.2

Frances Ellen Work (October 27, 1857  January 26, 1947) was an American heiress and socialite. She was a great-grandmother of Diana, Princess of Wales, and her great-great-grandchildren include the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Harry, and the American actor Oliver Platt.

[edit] BiographyBorn in New York City, she was a daughter of Franklin H. Work (18191911), a well-known stockbroker and protégé of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and his wife, Ellen Wood (18311877).[1]

On September 22, 1880, at Christ Church, New York City, Frances Work married the Hon. James Boothby Burke Roche, who would later become the 3rd Baron Fermoy. They had four children: two daughters Cynthia Roche and Eileen, and twin sons Francis and Edmund. Edmund later became the 4th Baron Fermoy, and was the maternal grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales. Frances divorced Roche for desertion in 1891, before he had succeeded to the barony. Her lawyer was Thomas F. Bayard, former United States Secretary of State.[2]

4.Hon. Francis George Roche2 b. 15 May 1885, d. Oct 1958

On August 4, 1905, the Hon. Mrs. Burke Roche married Aurel de Batonyi, a Hungarian-born riding instructor and society horseman. When he had immigrated to the United States on the Majestic in 1891, Batonyi claimed he was a count.[3] It was also suggested that his real name was Arthur Cohn.[4] Frances sued de Batonyi for divorce two years after their marriage, allegedly because her father threatened to disinherit her if she continued to live with her husband.[4]

She was a prominent figure in the New York City and Newport, Rhode Island, social sets, and was friends with Mrs Reginald Vanderbilt. Her sister, Lucy Bond Work married Peter Cooper Hewitt, a son of New York City Mayor Abram Stevens Hewitt.

She died in the city of her birth at the age of 89.[1]

James Boothby Burke Roche, 3rd Baron Fermoy (28 July 1852  30 October 1920) was an Irish peer and a Member of Parliament (MP) in the United Kingdom House of Commons. He was the great-grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.

[edit] BiographyHe was born at Twyford Abbey, Middlesex in 1852, the son of Edmond Burke Roche, and his wife Eliza Caroline née Boothby.[1] He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.[2]

He visited the United States where he met and married the heiress Frances Ellen Work on 22 September 1880 at Christ Church, New York City. The marriage was not a success and they separated in December 1886. She was granted a divorce on the grounds of desertion on 3 March 1891 at Wilmington, Delaware.[3]

They had four children, twin sons and two daughters:

Eileen (b. and d. 1882).
Cynthia (10 April 1884 &#8722; 8 December 1966), who married firstly Arthur Scott Burden (d. June 1921) in 1906 and secondly Guy Fairfax Cary (d. 1950) in 1922. She is the matrilineal great-grandmother of American actor Oliver Platt.
Edmund Maurice Burke (15 May 1885  8 July 1955), who was the grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.
Francis George Burke (15 May 1885  30 October 1958), who died unmarried.[4]
In 1896 he stood as an Anti-Parnellite Nationalist candidate in the Kerry East by-election for a seat in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Nationalists had split into two factions after the party leader, Charles Stewart Parnell was named as co-respondent in a divorce. Roche was supported initially by both the Parnellites and the Anti-Parnellites, until it was revealed that he was himself divorced. During the campaign, Roche denied publicly that he knew of the divorce or that he had deserted his wife and children.[5] Although he went on to win the seat, the opposing Unionist candidate gained the highest vote ever recorded for a Unionist candidate in Kerry East.[6] He served one term and did not stand in the following general election in 1900.

On 1 September 1920 he succeeded his brother as Baron Fermoy. Just two months later he died at Artillery Mansions, Westminster, London. He was buried at St Marylebone Cemetery, Finchley on 3 November 1920.[7

Elder John Strong1,2,3,4,5
b. circa 1605, d. 14 April 1699
Charts
President Cleveland and President Roosevelt
President Roosevelt and Princess Di
Elder John Strong was born circa 1605 at Chard, Somerset, England. He married Marjorie Dean. Elder John Strong married Abigail Ford, daughter of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde, circa 1636. Elder John Strong died on 14 April 1699 at Northampton, MA. 

John Strong was born in Taunton, England, in 1605, whence he removed to London and afterwards to Plymouth. Having strong Puritan sympathies he sailed from Plymouth for the new world, March 20, 1630, in company with 140 persons, and among them Rev. Messrs. John Warham and John Maverick and Messrs. John Mason and Roger Clapp, in the ship Mary and John (Capt. Squeb) and arrived at Nantasket, Mass. (Hull), about twelve miles southeast from Boston, after a passage of more than seventy days in length, on Sunday, May 30, 1630. 

The original destination of the vessel was Charles River; but an unfortunate misunderstanding which arose between the captain and the passengers, resulted in their being put summarily ashore by him at Nantasket. After searching for a few days, for a good place in which to settle and make homes for themselves, they decided upon the spot, which they called Dorchester, in memory of the endeared home in England which many of them had left, and especially of its revered pastor, Rev. John White, "the great patron of New England emigration," who had especially encouraged them to come hither. 3

Though John has been said to have come on the 1630 voyage of the Mary and John, there is no proof of it, all passenger lists for that voyage being hypothetical. 

Robert Charles Anderson in NEHGR, April 1993, addressed the many different lists of passengers on the Mary and John. He went about objectively establishing specific criteria for determining the likelihood that a specific individual was on the ship. By the criteria he established, which seem reasonable, Mr. Anderson concluded that Elder John Strong is not likely to have come on the Mary and John in 1630. Those that Mr. Anderson concluded had a solid basis for being considered passengers were: Roger Clap, George Ludlow, Roger Ludlow, John Maverick, Richard Southcott, Thomas Southcott, and John Warham. Additional passengers, based on other criteria were: Aaron Cooke, George Dyer, Thomas Ford, William Gaylord, John Holman, Thomas Lombard, Richard Louge, William Phelps, William Rockwell, Henry Smith, Thomas Stoughton, Stephen Terry, Nicholas Upsall, and Henry Wolcott. Another group of families, with less reliable connection to the Mary and John were John Benham, Bygod Eggleston, Christopher Gibson, Matthew Grant, John Greenway, John Hoskins, William Hulbird, Davy Johnson, George Phillips, John Phillips, John Pierce, and Roger Williams. Mr. Anderson assigns five other families that do not meet his criteria, but may, for other reasons, have been on the Mary and John: John Drake, John Gallop, Johathan Gillet, Nathan Gillet, and Henry Way. Mr. Anderson does not mention Elder John Strong anywhere in his discussion. However, he does leave room for three or four families that would be unaccounted for if the total number of passengers was 140. The information here, whether it describes John's voyage specifically or not, does describe the similar circumstances which brought him to Dorchester.

In 1635, after having assisted in founding and developing the town of Dorchester, John Strong removed to Hingham, Mass., and on March 9, 1636, took the freeman's oath at Boston. His stay at Hingham was short, as on Dec 4, 1638, he is found to have been an inhabitant and proprietor of Taunton, Mass., and to have been made in that year a freeman of Plymouth Colony. He remained at Taunton, as late at any rate as 1645, as he was a deputy thence to the General court in Plymouth, in 1641, 1643, and 1644. From Taunton he removed to Windsor, CT, where he was appointed with four others, Capt. John Mason, Roger Ludlow, Israel Stoughton, and Henry Wolcott, all very leading men in the infant colony, "to superintend and bring forward the settlement of that place," which had been settled a few years before (1636) by a portion of the same colony that with him had founded Dorchester. Windsor was in fact called at first, and for several years (1636-1650), Dorchester. 3

In 1659 he removed from Windsor to Northampton, Mass., of which he was one of the first and most active founders, as he had been previously of Dorchester, Hingham, Taunton, and Windsor. In Northampton he lived for forty years, and was a leading man in the affairs of the town and of the church. He was a tanner and very prosperous in his business. His tannery was located on what is now the southwest corner of Market and Main streets near the rail road depot. He owned at different times, as appears by records in the county clerk's office, some two hundred acres of land in and around Northampton. 3

By the will of thomas Strong his eldest son Thomas had "half the house and homestead forever; hoping he will come and live there and so be a help to his mother-in-law." The mother had `the whole of the rest of the estate for five years to bring up the children; then the estate to be divided according to law, Thomas to have a double portion  he to pay if half of the whole is too much."

(Rev. Ephraim Hewett had been a minister in Wraxall, Warwickshire, Eng., and being proceeded against by Archbishop Laud, in 1638, for neglecting ceremonies, came to this country in 1639.

Deacon William Holton was one of the first settlers of Hartford, Ct., and one of the eight original petitioners for liberty to plant and settle at Nonotuck (Northampton), whither he went in 1653. When the first board of magistrates was appointed in 1665 by the General court, it consisted of William Holton, Thomas Bascom and Edward Elmore. he was the first deacon of the church of Northampton (ordained June 13, 1663), and a representative to the General court (1667-69). He died Aug. 12, 1691, at age about 80. His widow mary died Nov 16, 1691. His daughter Sarah married Nov 18, 1656, Capt. John King of Northampton, whose grand-daughter, Experience King (daughter of Lt. John King, Jr., of Northampton, and Mehitable Pomeroy) married Col.

Jedediah Strong was born on 7 May 1637 at Hingham, MA.5 He was the son of Elder John Strong and Abigail Ford. Jedediah Strong was baptized on 14 April 1639 at Taunton, MA. He married Freedom Woodward, daughter of Henry Woodward and Elizabeth (?), on 18 November 1662 at Northampton, MA.6,5,7 Jedediah Strong married Abigail Bartlett on 19 December 1681.6,7,5 Jedediah Strong married Mary Hart, daughter of Stephen Hart, on 5 January 1691/92 at Northampton, MA.5,7 Jedediah Strong died on 22 May 1733 at Coventry, Tolland Co., CT, at age 96.5 

"He was a a farmer at Northampton until 1709, when at the age of 70 years and upwards he removed with his family to Coventry, Ct., where 24 years afterwards he died. During the years 1677-8 & 9, he was paid 18 shillings a year for blowing the trumpet on Sunday to summon the people to church. He lived with his first wife 19 years, with his second 7, and with his third wife 9, and notwithstanding his three marriages spent 33 years as a widower, and 61 unmarried.

"Mary died from the injury which she received the day previous, by the fall of the horse on which she was riding (on a pillion behind her husband), when just started well upon their way to Coventry, together, to visit their children. the record reads thus at Northampton: "Oct. 9, 1710, Jedediah Strong and wife set out early in the morning to visit their children, at Coventry; but when they came against the Falls (at S. Hadley) among the broad smooth stones, the horse's feet slipped up and he fell flat on the off side and by the fall killed the woman: though she was not quite dead then, but had life in her until the next day  yet never spoke a word."  Benjamin Dwight

There are apparently many misconceptions about the identities of Jedediah's three wives. Kathleen Fenton discusses their identities at length in The Connecticut Nutmegger of September 2000.

A Kingdom Shamed

Jon Presco — 2013-02-03T13:02:42

n the Connecticut Magazine Vol.10 I found evidence, if not proof, Commodore Isaac Hull, and his wife, Ann Hart, had Heirs children. Volume 10 was published around 1896. It had a large genealogical section. Ann had tried to gift the house her father owned to the town, but, they did not want anything to do with it, nor did the un-named Heirs, who lived elsewhere. This famous abode was known as a haunted house. It appears Ann had tried to establish a Catholic cemetary, and put a large cross on the tomb of a local women that caused an uproar. This article titled `The Romance of Saybrook Mansion' says Simon Bolivar and Jeannette Hart were engaged to be married. Simon was a Catholic. Jeannette had many suitors from famous blue blood New England Patriot families. I am sure they, and the parents of her suitors, felt snubbed shunned like Princess Diana was shunned.

Today, there is much controversy with royal Protestants marrying into the Catholic faith. Several important royals who are close kin to the Windsor, have been removed from the line of succession. In the wedding of William and Kate there is a ceremony that is a vow to uphold the Church of England. There is a very good chance my blood flows in the veins of William and Harry Windsor.

In reading the article, I surmise this is the chain of events. When Ann left her and Isaac's estate to their children, they refused to live in the house, or have anything to do with the property, they perhaps believing it was cursed in another witch hunt. They tried to give this property away to the town, beause no one would buy it. they hoped the town folks would tear down the Hart home so a park could be made, but, thes Puritans did not want their children playing on defiled earth. So, there is sat for forty years. I am reminded of Great Expectations. Here is the text;

"declined the gift, and the estate passed to the only living heirs, who resided elsewhere, and had lost interest in the home. In its venerable age and neglect, it became known as the haunted house, and its decadence from a social center in the early American Republic, to a deserted homestead of one of the first families in this country, has today reached its lowest level, and serves only as a barn for cattle.

When Diana Spencer married Prince Philip Windsor, the kiss the Rose of England received from her new husband, awoke the Harts and the MacCurdys from their deep sleep, and put new life in their haunted house, for the blood of their children flow into the veins of the greatest Royal Family the world has ever known, and enjoins Pilgrims and Patriots to their kindred they fought against for their Liberty.

Above is a page form a letter I sent to the ACLU, wherein I reveal parts of my study I was conducting about my Rose Line. This letter was sent July 23, 1998, four years before The Da Vinci Code was published. In another letter that I sent to the probate Court and Judge Silver, I speak cryptically about my Rose Line that mentions the name Roche also in connection with Princess Diana. I only found out about Frances Ruth Burke-Roche, four days ago. Consider the Swan Knight and the secret genealogy he reveals, them, disappears. This talk of a Rose Line is filed in a Superior Court in the probate of Christine Rosamond Benton. How many people who are kin to me, and claim they love me, thought I was mad? These papers might constitute Windsor History in America.

"I and my family did not know Royal published four books, and that we are possibly connected to royalty. I have found the names Rosamond, Rose, and Ambrose amongst the Huguenots, those who were oppressed by the Catholic Church, had their lands and property seized when forced to flee big church for their lives. As far as I know, I am the only scholar that has connected Fair Rosamond, Queen Eleanore,and Princess Di, with the name Roche, a Rose name."

Royal Rosamond wanted a son, but, he got four beautiful daughters. Is this a genetic trait? I gave birth to one child, a daughter, who came in my life like a Foundling.

Above is a poem written by Michael MacCurdy who comes from the famous family who owned Saybrook. He was th new manager of the Rosamond gallery. Christine got sober,and got rid of the hanger-ons. Mark and Vicki moved their chips over to Garth Benton, and kept me in the dark. But, my lost kindred have led me back home. Our house is no longer haunted, but alive with most of the royalty in the World, and of course Patriots!

I think I might found the Americans Kindred of William and Harry Society.

OLD SAYBROOK BIOGRAPHIES, PROMINENT FAMILIES.

THE HART FAMILY.

As the HART family has for many years been prominent in the town, a noti ce of some members of the family, other than Rev. William HART, may n ot be out of place. The first who came to this county was Stephen HAR T, of Braintree, Essex county, England, born about 1605. He came with t he company that settled Braintree, Mass., that afterward removed to Cambri dge, and that constituted the church of which Rev. Thomas HOOKER was after ward pastor. Mr. HART came to Hartford with Mr. HOOKER's company in 163 5, and was one of the orig prop.s of that place. There is a tradition th at the town was named from the ford he discovered and used in crossing t he Connecticut River at a low stage of the water, and so from HART's Fo rd it soon became Hartford, from a natural and easy transition.

His grandson, William, was pastor of the church in Saybrook, and has alrea dy been noticed in the proper place. Rev. William HART's oldest son, Willi am, was born at Saybrook, and married Esther Buckingham, daughter of Jose ph and his wife, Sarah TULLY, in 1745. He was a merchant, and was an offic er in the State militia during the Revolutionary war, and was in the engag ement of Danbury. He was afterward a major general, and was for several ye ars a candidate for governor of the State. In 1795, the West Reserve (so c alled), belonging to the State of Connecticut, was purchased by subscripti on by a company of wealthy citizens of the State, for $1,200,000. Willi am HART was one of the company, and his subscription was $30,462. In 178 5, he was engaged in the mercantile business with his brother Joseph in Ha rtford, and was much engaged in the West India trade. He was also a mercha nt at Saybrook. Owing to the destruction of a number of his vessels, whi le engaged in the West India trade, he and his heirs since have been amo ng the claimants under the French Spoliation Bill, with little probabilit y, however, of realizing anything from it, although years ago France pa id these claims to our government. The investment in the Western Reserve l ands proved a profitable one to him and his heirs, some of the land sti ll yielding an income to the family, though most of it has been sold. Gene ral HART is described as a man of commanding person and presence, with a h andsome, manly face, a rich complexion, and fine, clear, dark eyes and hai r. He was an accomplished horseman, and often made the journey between Say brook and Hartford on his favorite saddle horse. An old resident of Hartfo rd, dead years ago, used to tell her great-grandchildren, with much enthus iasm, what an imposing appearance he presented as he rode up to her doo r, and how it was ever her delight to set before him the very best enterta inment the inn afforded.

Major Richard William HART, the only child of Gen. William and Esther BUCK INGHAM, was born at Saybrook, January 15th 1768, and married Miss Elizabe th BULL, of Newport, Rhode Island. Major HART inherited from his fath er a large fortune, which increased by the rise in value of the land purch ased by Gen. HART in the Western Reserve, so that at his death he le ft an estate valued at half a million dollars, which was divided between h is widow and two daughters. He was much esteemed and respected in his nati ve State, and used his means liberally for the good of those about hi m. He built a large house on the west side of Main street, near the corn er of the road leading to New Haven, where he resided till his death. He w as for many years a merchant, his store standing for a long time on the co rner near his house, but he afterward moved it across Main street, near ly opposite, where it still stands. Major HART died of apoplexy in 183 7. He was a man of unusually fine personal appearance and handsome feature s. His only son died in early youth, but he left two daughters, the olde st of whom, Elizabeth M., married at Saybrook, in 1825, the Rev. William J ARVIS, son of Hezekiah JARVIS, of Norwalk, and for a time resided in Saybr ook. The second daughter of Major HART, Miss Hetty B. HART, died in Hartfo rd unmarried, aged 76.

Elisha HART, fifth son of Rev. William HART, born in 1758, married Jeannet te MCCURDY, of Lyme, and had seven daughters but no sons. They were distin guished for their beauty and accomplishments, and moved in the highest cir cles of wealth and honor. The eldest daughter, Sarah MCCURDY, married Re v. Dr. Samuel F. JARVIS, of Middletown, from whom she was divorced. Her re mains lie in the burial ground on Saybrook Point. The second daughter, A nn MCCURDY, married Commodore Isaac HULL, U. S. N., who distinguished hims elf in the war of 1812 while in command of the frigate Constitution by cap turing the British frigate Guerriere. After the war Commodore HULL was a f requent visitor at Saybrook, and with his wife spent a few weeks at the o ld mansion nearly every summer for several years till his death in Philade lphia, in 1843. Elizabeth, the fifth daughter, married Hon. Heman ALLEN, f ormerly member of Congress from Vermont, and minister plenipotentiary to C olumbia, South America. He died in 1844, at Burlington, Vermont, where h is wife also died. Amelia, sixth daughter, married Captain, afterward Comm odore Joseph HULL, U. S. N., a nephew of Commodore Isaac HULL. Three of t he daughters died unmarried. One of them, Jeannette M. McCurdy HART, in 18 60, gave a handsome iron fence for the front of the ancient cemetery on Sa ybrook Point.* (*It is said that in the latter part of her life she embrac ed the Catholic faith. It was by her direction, and at her expense, that o ne of the inscriptions on the tomb of Lady Fenwick was cut. A simple inscr iption was well enough, but when she added a huge cross, an offense again st good taste was committed, which the descendants of the Saybrook Purita ns are not likely to forget or forgive.) Capt. Elisha HART died in May 28 th 1842, aged 84. He was also a merchant in Saybrook. His store is still s tanding on the east side of Main street, and is owned and occupi ed by T. C. ACTON jr., as a grocery. The post office is also kept in it. C aptain HART lived in a large old-fashioned mansion, on the west side of Ma in street, a little north of his store, which is still standing, thou gh it has recently passed out of the possession of the family. It is surro unded by large shade trees, and is one of the finest locations on the stre et. After Captain HART's remains were carried out of the front door of t he house, the door and blind were closed and a bar nailed across it, whi ch was not removed, nor the door opened till after it passed out of posses sion of the family-a period of about 40 years. Rev. William HART's house s tood very near the spot where this was built, and was moved to the corn er opposite the ACTON Library, on what are now the grounds of Mr. T. C. AC TON, and was used for many years by Captain William CLARK as a paint sho p. The house of Rev. William HART's son-in-law, Rev. F. W. HOTCHKISS, is s till standing, and is nearly opposite Captain Elisha HART's, and is own ed and occupied by Mr. Charles W. MORSE, a son of Prof. S. F. B. MORSE, t he inventor of the telegraph. Gen William HART built and lived in the hou se north of the present Congregational church, now owned and occupied by M isses Hetty B. and Nancy WOOD. Captain John HART, another of Rev. Willi am HART's sons, resided in Massachusetts for several years, and then retur ned to Saybrook, where he lived in the Captain Samuel SHIPMAN house whi ch stood a few rods south of the Congregational parsonage. He died in 182 8, aged 78.

Sleeping Beauty Heart

Jon Presco — 2013-02-01T18:38:50

Sarah in Hebrew means "princess" or "queen". If Simon Bolivar had married Jeannette Hart, one of the most beautiful women in America, then she would have been the Queen of the Americas. Instead, her remains lie forgotten and disgraced in a grave that is shrouded in mystery. I suspect, because Jeannette coverted to Catholicism, her Puritancial kindred (who were famous Reverands) would not let her be buried anywhere near her Protestant cousins whose bones were everywhere.

It is alleged Jeannette bought her own plot to bury her negro slave, Sarah, next to her, but, I suspect this is her stilborn child who may have been aborted when this American Princess beheld the love of her life in a victory parade with his mistress. Bolivar tried to get the remains of this child buried in his homeland. I am reminded of the fight over the Heirs of my late sister, the world famous artist `Rosamond'.

There is another grave that is un-marked. I susoect Ann Hart Hull is buried her, she too a convert to Catholicism. Did Ann adhore the ostricism her sister suffered, and took her side completely, even after being threatend with excommunication from her famous relatives who in the end did not have a heart?

Did Ann have a child, or, children by Commador Isaac Hull, who under great family pressure turned their back on their mother, their father, and their aunt, who lived together? Jeannette, never married. How tragic. Her great beauty had gone to waste.

To think what could have been! Here is your sleeping beauty kingdom. Here is the equal to the legends of Fair Rosamond, who could have been a queen. That Jeannette is kin to Princess Diana, and her two sons who are Princess' of the realm who may rule as Kings someday is astounding. The seven Hat sisters, their beautiful constillation, is in the Windsor family tree!

Then there is the legend of Sarah, alleged daughter of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, who founded a sleeping kingdom, that in our time has awoken if you believe!

This morning, I have been looking at the Hart family DNA project so I can turn a Rosamond Family Legend into real genealgicical and royal history, for Royal Rosamond's claim that he descends from Ann and Isaac Hull was made before the Harts formed blood ties to the Spencer and Windsor family. Did I not promise my grandson, Tyler Hunt, a kingdom? Now, add the lineage of Thomas Hart Betnon to the Hart family of Cambridge, and one has to ask who is directing this coming together of two Hart lines formed when Christine Rosamond Presco, married Paul Garfield Benton?

From this union was born Drew Benton, who has been living with her aunt, Vicki Presco, for seven months. Drew in kin to two Signers of the Constitution, John Hart, and John Witherspoon, and counless politicians and statesmen who made this Democracy great. If there was American Royalt, then Drew is a Princess.

Then there is my resent discovery of a book that installs the Arthurian Legends in a family that will go un-named for now, but, this real Grail Legend includes Fair Rosamond, and Princess Diana Spencer. This blog that is a genelogical story of the Rosamonds in American, and the world, has come across the waters to Britain and its royal people, who I need not prove are my kindred to own this story, but need only ask;

"What is in a name?" and "Where does my heart lie?"

Rene D'Anjou Duke of Bar set out to retrieve his heart that was stolen in the dead of night. The Captain of the Enterpise was like the Knight Couer to the seven Hart sisters, this dashing Captian taking them on cruises aboard the U.S.S. Constitution, because, there's a great big widw world out there! Unfortunately, much of it is captured in the little minds of bigotted people, who hate beauty, and go out of their way to destroy it.

Need I point out the importance of Sarah being Jennette's black slave, this slave buried in the land of American Blue Bloods and Patriots.

I am going to take a month off from blogging so I can finish my book and get it published. I will be contacting the History Channel, and Histories Mysteries to see if they want to see if there are two beautiful Hart sister buried side by side waiting to be forgiven, and reborn. Or, if the Hart and Hull family were aboltionists when it came to equal rights in the eyes of God, when we all take that last voyage, and venture to hither side.

Rene the King and Poet, is asleep, in a magical night scene he sees himself and the figures in his dream: Amour, God of Love, is standing beside his bed and with both hands plucks the heart from Rene's breast, giving it to the Page, Ardent Desire, who stands with hands outstretched ready to receive it. It will have to remain on the power of Ardent Desire until it finds favor with the lady of Rene's dreams, Sweet Grace. It is not Rene himself who starts off on a journey of adventure with the Page, but his heart, personified as the Knight Cueur.

When Capt. Elisha Hart (1758-1844), the wealthy Saybrook merchant and trader, married Janet McCurdy (1765-1815), of the well-known and well-off Lyme family, he looked forward to having sons to carry on his thriving businesses but fate, and "x" chromosomes, provided one daughter after another:

First there was Sarah born in 1787, then Ann in 1790, then Mary Ann in 1792, then Jeanette in 1794, Elizabeth in 1796, Amelia in 1799, and finally Harriet Augusta in 1804 the seven beautiful Hart sisters.

The girls enjoyed the pleasant and pampered life of their prominent family. They were sent to "finishing schools," including the highly respected Miss Pierce's School in Litchfield, and their exposure to the ways of the world expanded beyond small town Saybrook. Lively, attractive, charming and sophisticated, they attracted many suitors.

She commented on the neatly coiled rolls of tarred ropes and how she enjoyed the odor of tar. A few days later she received a delicate chain made from tarred rope that was sent by Hull. She wrote thanking him for the gift and so began a correspondence that led to their marriage in 1813.

Hull was born in Derby, the second of seven sons, and grew up along the shores of the Housatonic River. He developed a flair for the sea and signed on to a coastal schooner when he was 14. He studied navigation and by 20 was a master in the merchant service. In 1798 he entered the U.S. Navy.

When the War of 1812 began, 39-year-old Hull was placed in command of the frigate U.S. Constitution. Receiving orders to seek and destroy British warships between Nantucket and Halifax, he set sail. Spotting the English frigate Guerriere, he ordered all hands to prepare for action. When he was almost alongside the Guerriere, Hull gave the order: "Now boys! Pour it into them."

Although she had many suitors, Jeannette never married. She lived in Philadelphia with her sister Ann and Isaac Hull and spent many summers in Saybrook. She and her sister Sarah converted to Catholicism.Tragic life of Frances Shand KyddLast updated at 19:52 03 June 2004

When Ann attended school in Philadelphia she and her classmates visited the ship commanded by Isaac Hull. He showed them about and Ann had many questions and displayed an unusual knowledge in seafaring life which she gained from her father.

Thomas Hart Benton (April 15, 1889 January 19, 1975) was an American painter and muralist. Along with Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry, he was at the forefront of the Regionalist art movement.

Benton was born in Neosho, Missouri, into an influential family of politicians and powerbrokers. Benton's father, Maecenas Benton, was a lawyer and U.S. congressman. His namesake, great-uncle Thomas Hart Benton, was one of the first two United States Senators elected from Missouri

"*Nathaniel G. Hart, in honor of whom Hart County, Ky., received its name, was a son of Colonel Thomas Hart, who was an immigrant from Maryland to Kentucky in pioneer days. Nathaniel G. Hart was born at Hagerstown, Md., and came to Kentucky when he was but a few years old. He was a brother-in-law of Hon. Henry Clay and Hon. James Brown, they having married his sisters. He was about twenty-four years of age at the time of his marriage to Anna E. Gist. At the breaking out of the War of 1812 he was in command of a volunteer company called the "Lexington Light Infantry," and with his company enrolled for service in the Northwest. He served through the winter campaign of 1812-13, a portion of the time as staff officer. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of the River Raisin.

Legend has it that, in the mid-1800&#8242;s, Cypress' beautiful wrought iron fence along the sidewalk of College Street was "donated" by Jeanette Hart to the Association in return for the burial of Hart's beloved slave, Sarah, in the Hart family plot. At that time, the Assoication was likely incensed at the idea of a "mixed" cemetery plot. But, in return for the fence, the Assoication acquiesced as long as Sarah's plot was unmarked. The unmarked grave still exists today.

That isn't the end of the story, however. Not far from the unmarked stone in the Hart plot is another stone inscribed with the name "Sarah". The question remains, if Jeanette Hart defied the wishes of the Association, then why is there an unmarked stone in the Hart plot?

One explanation has Jeanette and her two sisters travelling to South America in 1824. Jeanette, unmarried, was said to have enjoyed a full and much publicized romance with Chile's "liberator", Simon Bolivar. While in South America, Jeanette's sister Elizabeth was said to have given birth to a still-born child. Upon bringing the baby home for burial for her sister (reportedly encased in a wine basket for the purpose of preservation), Jeanette buried the child in the Hart plot. The question of which stone the unmarked stone or the one inscribed "Sarah" still lingers. In bringing the baby back to Connecticut, Jeanette was said to have enraged her "latino lover" and, as a result, didn't end up marrying him as he originally proposed.

He returned to England when he was 33 years old and married Agnes Harris, with whom he had three children: Elizabeth, Sarah and Samuel. Upon his death in 1640, William Spencer was a wealthy man. He owned acreage in Cambridge, Concord and Hartford, as well as property in England. Many years later, a descendant, also named William Spencer, was described in a book about New York's elite society as a "wealthy and fashionable naval officer . . . a descendant of William Spencer, a landed proprietor of Hartford."

Agnes married five years after Spencer's death a man named William Edwards. With that marriage she became the matriarch of the Edwards' family which included Jonathan Edwards, the man who once gave the powerful sermon entitled "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," and Aaron Burr.

William Spencer emigrated from Stotfold, Bedfordshire, England, in 1631 to New Town (later called Cambridge). Like so many early New Englanders, Spencer provided many services for the Massachusetts Bay Colony where he lived for nearly eight years. And, he appeared to be indispensable.

He was a Deputy from Cambridge to the General Court and he served as the Cambridge Town Clerk, and as a Cambridge selectman. He served on a committee on the codification of laws, and a committee on Colony debts. In 1636, he was appointed Lieutenant of the Military Company of New Town and a founder of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company.

When he migrated to Hartford, Connecticut, where his brother Thomas lived, he continued to serve. Almost immediately he became the Deputy for Hartford to the Connecticut General Court, a member of the committee to inspect arms, and provide powder for Hartford in '39. He also served as the town Clerk of Hartford in 1639. He is considered to be a Founder of Hartford a most prestigious position, even today.

In his nuncupative will, dated 14 March and 4 May 1640 and 4 March 1640/1, William Spencer bequeathed that
the estate that he hath in New England, and also that which may come to his wife hereafter, that is, any part of his wife's portion if any do come, that all the estate be divided as followeth: to my wife one third part of all my estate to my son Samuel one third part to my two daughters Sarah and Elizabeth one third part the children to be brought up with the improvement of the whole estate that I leave both to my wife and children. Also my mind is my Cousin Matthew Allyn, my brother John Pratt and John Taylcoate, that these three parties or any two of them shall have the oversight of my estate, and in case that they shall see in their judgement the estate to be wasted, that they shall have power to take the children and their portions [blank] for their bringing up, and to pay the children their portions that remain at the several times above written. Also my mind is that my wife shall have no power to alienate or make sale of my house or any part of my land I leave without the consent of two of the parties that are to oversee my estate [CCCR 1:449-50; Manwaring 1:36-37].
The undated "inventory of the estate of the said Will[iam] Spenser" totalled £67 12s. 2d. in moveables; there were "several debts owing in the Bay, the which the most of them are denied, and those that are confessed are very doubtful whether much of it will be paid, being in the hands of some of his kindred that are poor." The supplement to this inventory also included "the house and houselot containing about 2 acres, with some outhouses; also several parcels of upland lots, to the value of [blank] 74 acres, as may appear by the records to that purpose, whereof, besides the right which he had in any other lands to be divided"; "also, eleven acres of meadow and swamp, lying in the North Meadow"; "also, one parcel lying on the east side of the Great River, containing ten acres"; "also, there is land yet remaining at Concord in the Bay, which while he lived he esteemed at £120&#8243; [CCCR 1:450-51].
It was agreed that if any of the children died before they came of age, "the survivor & survivors shall receive it at the time when it should have been paid to the deceased, if he or she had lived, and if they all die before the said time, then it shall be paid to Agnes Edwards or her lawful attorney of the said Agnes, the mother of the said children" [Manwaring 1:37].
The estate of William Spencer, deceased, was brought to court 24 June 1650 and, "with the information of the overseers in the presence of Thomas Spencer, brother to the said William, with the consent of the wife of William Edwards, they do judge that £30 is as much as the estate here will bear to be sequestered for the use of the children, which is to be paid to them according to the will of the said William Spencer provided also that whatsoever shall be paid here or in England of any estate due to the wife of the said William Spencer while she was the wife of William Spencer, or that shall come from Concord, two thirds thereof shall be and remain to the proper use of the children aforesaid" [RPCC 85-86].
BIRTH: Baptized Stotfold, Bedfordshire, 11 October 1601, son of Gerrard and Alice (Whitbread) Spencer [TAG 27:162].
DEATH: Hartford after 4 May 1640 [Manwaring 1:36-37] and probably before 22 May 1640 [Aspinwall 141].
MARRIAGE: By about 1633 Agnes Harris, baptized Barnstaple, Devonshire, 6 April 1604, daughter of Bartholomew and Elizabeth (Collamore) Harris. She married (2) Hartford 11 December 1645 William Edwards [TAG 63:33-45].
CHILDREN:
i ELIZABETH, b. say 1633; m. (1) by about 1650 William Wellman [TAG 37:7-9]; m. (2) by 1672 Jacob Joy (Jacobus gives the date of marriage as 23 May 1671 and McCracken as 23 May 1672, in Killingworth, but the Killingworth vital records do not contain an entry for this event [TAG 37:7-9; FOOF 1:348]).

ii SARAH, b. about 1635 (of full age [18] in the year 1653 [Manwaring 1:37]); m. by 1656 John Case [TAG 34:66-69].

iii SAMUEL, b. about 1639 (of full age [21] in the year 1660 [Manwaring 1:37]); m. by about 1668 Sarah _____ (estimated b. of first child [TAG 27:165-66]).

ASSOCIATIONS: William Spencer was brother of THOMAS SPENCER of Cambridge and Hartford, and of Michael Spencer and Gerard Spencer of Lynn [TAG 27:79-87, 161-65].
COMMENTS: William Spencer appeared on a list of early inhabitants of Cambridge, apparently dated 1632 [CaTR 2].
On 29 November 1638 William Spencer wrote from Hartford to John Winthrop asking why Winthrop had made suggestions regarding arguments to support the union between the Bay and "the plantations here," and yet when men came to treat with him regarding it, many using the very arguments suggested by Winthrop at Spencer's prompting, all were met with "a prejudice in the spirits of some men" and forced to go away unsatisfied [WP 4:74-75].
On 4 July 1648 Aspinwall certified "copies of five letters unto Edmund Angier 3 letters from John Talcot & John Pratt, one dated 22 May 1640, another August 10th 1640, & another 15th June 1641, a fourth from Anne Spenser dated 2 May 1642 and the fifth from W[illia]m Edw[ards] no date. Also unto a copy of a writing under W[illia]m Spencer's name dated 3 July 1639. Also to a letter [of] attorney from Ed[mund] Angier to Joseph Mayet dated 5 July 1648&#8243; [Aspinwall 141]. From the chronology and the persons involved, it would seem that these letters pertained to the estate of William Spencer in England.
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1988 Douglas Richardson ably demonstrated the identity of Agnes Harris, wife of William Spencer [TAG 63:33-45].

The Spencer-Case Family of England and Connecticut
The first Spencer I have on my ancestor chart is Michael born ca 1533 in Edworth, Bedfordshire, ENG. He m. Elizabeth ? ca 1563 there and d. aft 1599 probably in Stotfold, Bedfordshire, ENG. Elizabeth died in Nov 1599 in Stotfold. I have no more information on this couple, do you? Does anyone have the family of Elizabeth? I would like to be able to add to this lineage.

Gerard SPENCER was born in May 1576 in Stotfold and he m. Alice WHITBREAD on 10 Nov 1600 in St. Giles, Upper Gravenhurst in Bedfordshire (d. 20 May 1646 Stotford). Gerard d. before 1646 there. Alice was the dau. of John WHITBREAD and Eleanor RADCLIFFE who were married ca 1570 in Welwyn Hertfordshire and he d. 28 Nov 1598 in Upper Gravenhurst. Eleanor died on 20 Nov 1628 in Elstow, Beds.

One of their sons was William SPENCER bpt. 11 Oct 1601 in Stotfold and he m. Agnes HARRIS in 1633 there. AS far as I know, they are our IMMIGRANT FAMILY.
Agnes was the d/o Bartholomew HARRIS (ca 1560-10 Oct 1615) and Elizabeth COLLAMORE (ca 1566-?)

William and Agnes had a daughter Sarah SPENCER who is my direct ancestress. She was b. 1635 in Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT and m. John CASE ca 1656 in Hartford Co., CT. He was b. in Aylsham, Norfolkshire, ENG and d. 21 Feb 1703/04 in Simsbury, CT.

This is the information that I have on William SPENCER and Agnes HARRIS. I hope if you have more or any corrections of my notes that you will contact me. I would like to hear any comments at all.

William was one of the four founders of the Military Co. of MA, that is now called The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co., in which he initially held the rank of Lieut. However he is referred to as Lieut. Spencer only twice in civil or political records in the MA Bay and none in the CT. Colony records.

At the time of William's birth, English rule suppressed the freedom loving Puritan people and the Spencers were among the group who wanted changes in the rituals and laws of the Church of England. They agreed there should only be one church in England and that the church should be supported by the state. The beliefs, laws and rituals of the church were controlled by the English rulers and were changed in accordance to their ideas, thoughts and experiences by the particular king or queen in power at the time.
The clergy was expected to comply with the ritual and laws set forth but were expected to study the Bible and preach their own sermons. Their spiritual direction often caused Puritan Clergy to refuse to carry out the orders of the bishops. When this happened they were taken before the High Commission for a trial of all their religious offenses. Some of the principal ministers withdrew to Holland and others remained in England, feeling hopeless, as they saw no sign of relief in the future.
William was christened 11 Oct 1601 in Stotfold, Bedfordshire, ENG. He was appointed Deputy to Massachusetts General Court, 1634 through 1637, and representative to Connecticut General Court from 1639 to 1640.

According to Tepper's "Passengers to America", Will was on the "Mary & John" which left England on 24 Mar 1633. He was back in England for perhaps a year and evidently did not return to Newe Towne until the summer of 1633. It was a year later that his name again appeared in the General Court records. He arrived with the group from Essex, ENG.
In 1629 a royal charter was obtained under the name of the "Governor and Company of Massachusetts Bay in New England". This was like a trumpet call to the Puritans of England. They began at once to prepare for emigration to the new land of promise. Five ships sailed in the spring of 1629, the "Mary & John" sailed the following spring with a total of seventeen ships with 16 or 17 Hundred immigrants.
Brothers Gerrard, Michael, Thomas and William Spencer probably were among these people or they may have sailed with the group of Essexshire in 1632. This group came mostly from the area of the towns of Braintree, Colchester and Chelmsford, stopped first at Mt. Wallaston, now known as Quincy. They would have been followers of the Rev. Thomas Hooker, who was in Holland at the time but joined them the following year.

William was one of the first emigrants to New England with the Winthrop group arriving there (ca 1630) before 4 March 1632 when he took the oath of Freeman. So he must have arrived in Boston at least by 1631. The early ships from England had uniformly left their home ports in April and arrived in N.E. in mid-summer. This was found in the Boston Evening Transcript newspaper. It listed William and his three brothers and where they settled. William settled in Cambridge, MA and then Hartford, CT. William was 30 at the time he left England and was the best prepared from the standpoint of his education at Cambridge, from where he graduated. He is listed in the Newtowne town record books.
William played a special role in the activities of the MA Bay Co and was a co-founder of both Cambridge (Newe Towne) and Hartford, CT.

William died testate at Harford, CT between 4 May and 22 May 1640 at the age of 39.

In Dec 1630 the governor and most of the party agreed to build a town between Roxbury and Boston. After thinking about a place of more safety, they chose a place on the Charles River, and called it New Town, which became Cambridge.

While William was in MA, he was appointed by Gov. Winthrop to serve as judge in Ipswich and Newberry in order that he might hold the courts in those precincts.
The name of William does not appear again in the General Court until March of 1634 in Newe Town (Cambridge).
1 May 1635, "William in town has one dwellinge house with other out howses and a garden and Backside".
26 Mar 1636 He was on committee to decide on the bounds between Boston and Charles Towne on the east side of the Misticke Ryver".
25 May 1636 Member of committee to determine the value of property in the town to be reported at a meeting in Boston in June.
8 Sep 1636 Mr. Wm.Spencer was part of committee of three to examine accounts of persons the county owes money unto.

All three children were born at Newe Towne before the family moved to Hartford in 1639.

Records of events happening in Hartford in 1637 written in the hand-writing of William Spencer.
"North-side Plantation book containing all the important orders in force in Hartford" such as Providing a guard during public worship a proper precaution after the Pequot War (May 1637)."
"Each inhabitant to have a ladder to reach the roof of his house, doubtless in case of fire. Forbidding the taking of stones at the fall, near the home of Thomas Lord Settlers were extensively engaged in house building."

William died a short time later on 4 May 1640 at the age of 38 years old. He made his will on 4 May 1640 and died at Hartford that year. He divided his estate into thirds: to his son, Samuel 1/3, to his widow Agnes 1/3 and to his two daughters Sarah and Elizabeth 1/3. He was the ancestor of Honorable Joshua Spencer and Honorable Judge John C. Spencer of the state of New York. He was designated as one of the first Puritan settlers of Hartford.

Another historical event for William was being appointed by the Gov. Winthrop with four others to raise a military company for the protection of the people of the colony. In 1638, he was one of the founders of "The Ancient & Honorable Artillery Co. of Boston" which continued to be the oldest military organization in America. In March 1638, he was appointed "Lieutenant of the Military Co. of Newton."

After moving to Hartford, he was immediately selected as one of the representations in that colony. He was selected to prepare the first Code of Laws for CT, along with Mr. Wyllis and Mr. Webster. On 26 Dec 1639, he was elected as a townsman, who was described as a person chosen to order the affairs of the town.
The death of William Spencer must have been a great loss to the city of Hartford and the state of CT. No records have been found as to the exact date of his death or the cause. In his will, which was probated 4 Mar 1641, he partitioned his estate, giving 1/3 to his wife, son Samuel, and to each daughter, Elizabeth and Sarah. The inventory of the estate taken after his death, reveals the fact that he had accumulated a large fortune of those times.
After William's death, Agnes married 2nd to William Edwards, making Agnes Spencer, the maternal ancestor of not only the Case family and the Aldermans, but also the great Edwards family of CT and New England. The Edwards gave to the world, scholars, authors, ministers, college presidents and professors. Williams life was short (39 years) but filled with adventure, courage and leadership.

The Spencer ancestry in England dates from the Norman invasion of 1066 A.D. and the Battle of Hastings. Over the centuries, there were several lines of Spencer descendants but this group had lived in Bedfordshire for many generations, especially in the towns of Edworth and Stotfold. All of the siblings were in their early adult years in the early 1600&#8242;s so were most eligible for a new life in New England. The Spencer lineage descends from Charlemagne.
"Order of the Crown of Charlemagne in the United States"

All of the Spencer children seem to have embraced the Puritan faith as evidenced by their membership in the church and for the males, the attainment of freemanship in the political hierarchy.

The Spencer Genealogy
By Jared L. Olar
October 2007-January 2013
The English surname of "Spencer" derives from the Latin word dispensator, which means a storekeeper or shopkeeper. In medieval times, a feudal lord would employ a dispensator to have charge of his possessions and to oversee distribution and sale of supplies to the serfs, peasants, and tenant farmers who worked his land. In essence, a dispensator was something like a steward. This Latin term gave rise to the occupational family names of "Dispenser," "Spencer," "Spenser," "Spence," "Spens," "Spender," etc. Since there must have been thousands of dispensatori, there are naturally a large number of unrelated Spencer families. Even though he was the servant of a feudal lord or a king, a dispensator often himself would be of noble or knightly rank. The two best known medieval English families bearing a form of this surname were the Dispensers, Earls of Winchester, and the Spencers of Althorp, Northamptonshire, ancestors of the present Earls Spencer, who were the family of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, formerly known as Lady Diana Spencer. The Earls Spencer are also closely related to the Spencer-Churchill family, which includes the famous British Prime Minister Sir Winston Spencer-Churchill. During the Renaissance, an unscrupulous herald manufactured a spurious genealogy tracing the Spencers of Althorp back to the Dispensers of Winchester, but that fictitious genealogy was long ago debunked there is no proof nor any reason to believe that the Spencers of Althorp had anything to do with the old Earls of Winchester.
In the United States, a very large number of Spencers are descendants of "the Four Spencer Brothers" William Spencer (1601-1640), Thomas Spencer (16071687), Michael Spencer (16111653), and GERARD SPENCER (16141685), sons of Gerard Spencer and Alice Whitbred. The Four Spencer Brothers belonged to a family that came from Stotfold in Bedfordshire, England. The brothers left England in the 1600s and settled in New England. Our own Spencer family is descended from Gerard, youngest of the Four Spencer Brothers. Donald Lines Jacobus wrote the landmark study on this family, "The Four Spencer Brothers Their Ancestors and Descendants," (The American Genealogist, 27:79-87, April 1951). A subsequent study on our Spencers was prepared by George E. McCracken, entitled "Spencers in Wyoming Valley 1772-1830&#8243; (The American Genealogist 43:139-145, July 1967). The family history of our Spencers is also presented on the late George R. Spencer's genealogical website and the Long Island Surnames website. Christopher Kile's database also includes the genealogy of our Spencers, though with various omissions and errors.

The Present Attempt to Dissolve the American Union:

cccalco — 2012-12-28T19:58:46

"The Present Attempt to Dissolve the American Union: A British Aristocratic Plot" (1862), by Samuel Morse (1791-1872)
An artist and inventor, Samuel Finley Breese Morse, inventor of the telegraph and the Morse Code, was intimate with both artisans and industrialists and was a successful counter-intelligence specialist.

SCARLET AND THE BEAST
By John Daniel

There are two reasons why the British Masonic conspiracy plunged America into civil war. First, British bankers wanted to establish a permanent central bank under their total control. Second, British Freemasonry wanted to divide powerful America into two weak nations for easy conquest. Information on the latter half of the plan was first published in "The Present Attempt to Dissolve the American Union: A British Aristocratic Plot" (1862), by Samuel Morse (1791-1872), an American artist and inventor, who was also an American counter-intelligence specialist.

Against this British intrusion into American politics, finance, and industry, General Albert Pike initiated the southern rebellion. In 1859 the Southern Jurisdiction of Freemasonry founded the Knights of the Golden Circle as a front to direct the insurrection.

Had it not been for Abraham Lincoln, English Freemasonry would have succeeded. When Lincoln restored the Union, the British Brotherhood, out of revenge, plotted his assassination. The Knights of the Golden Circle, bankrolled by British Masonic interests, selected John Wilkes Booth, a 33rd degree Mason and member of Mazzini´s Young America, for the task.

Freemason Edwin Stanton was assigned to cover up Masonic involvement in the crime. Immediately after Lincoln´s assassination, Stanton ordered military blockades on all roads out of Washington, D.C., except one -- the road Booth was known to have taken for his escape route. Stanton then arranged for a drunk man to be found, similar in build and appearance to Booth. This man was to be murdered and his body burned in a barn adjacent to the only road not guarded by the military. Stanton just happened to be on that road when he "found" the murdered man, certifying that the charred body was the remains of John Wilkes Booth. The real John Wilkes Booth escaped.

After these events, the Knights were soon exposed to the Military Commission that heard evidence on the Lincoln assassination as the secret force behind both the Civil War and the assassination. Original documents relating to the president´s assassination are still locked up in the archives of the Defense Department and are not available to researchers today.

Directly involved in the plot were 33rd degree Freemason and British Prime Minister Henry Palmerston (died in 1865); 33rd degree Freemason John Wilkes Booth; Freemason Judah P. Benjamin, the British Masonic banker´s mouthpiece who gave the order for Lincoln´s assassination; and Jacob Thompson, former Interior Secretary in the Buchanan administration, who withdrew $180.000 from the Bank of Montreal in Canada to set the plot in motion. (Benjamin and Thompson both fled to England to avoid apprehension.) And Freemason Edwin Stanton prepared a cover-up that compares in audacity with the 1963 Warren Commission cover-up of the Kennedy assassination.

The exposure of the Knights was so celebrated following the 1865 conspiracy trials that in the spring of 1867, Albert Pike and a small group of former Confederate generals met in the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. to change the name of the Knights of the Golden Circle to the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The Knight´s new name was taken from the Greek word "Kuklos," which means "circle."

Under its new name, the Klan attempted to rekindle the Civil War by instigating riots throughout the South. The notorious outlaw Jesse James (1847-1882) was a 33rd degree Freemason and a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, which had been assigned the task by Albert Pike of robbing Northern banks to fund this new war. It has been estimated that Jesse and the other members of the Knights had buried over $7 billion in gold all
over the western states.

ccc- also excerpted from "Freemasons Roots & Links to the Occult" By Teresa Morris is the following reference to the above article.
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/006/freemasons.htm

"When the Confederacy surrendered to the Union forces, Albert Pike was determined to start another Civil War so that South could win. He founded the Ku Klux Klan, which instigated riots throughout the South in an attempt to disrupt reconstruction and incite a second Civil War. Pike gave Klansman Jesse James the assignment of robbing Northern banks in order to get money to fund this war. It is estimated that Jesse James and other Klansmen buried seven billion dollars in gold all over the western states. ("Scarlet and the Beast," Vol. 3, pages 76-77)

"Pike the old Confederate general, was a wily strategist who knew that if he could leave behind a secret terrorist society in the south to fight against freedom for black people as a rear guard action, the south's defeat might not be in vain." ("Masonry," page 192)

Two books from the turn of the twentieth century document Pike's direct involvement in founding the Klan: "Ku Klux Klan: Its' Origin, Growth and Disbandment" (1905) by J. C. Lester and D. L. Wilson; and "Authentic History: Ku Klux Klan 1865-1877" (1924) by Susan Lawrence Davis." ("Scarlet and the Beast," Vol. 3, page 76)"

The Beard

Jon Presco — 2012-12-26T20:03:59

Andy Warhol did a movie from Michael McClure's play `The Beard' without the Beat Poets permission. Michael got the famous SF attorney, Melvin Belli to slap a injunction on Andy, thus the world famous artist's movie has not been released to the public.

I felt Michael Harkins was censoring me when I merely mentioned he knew McClure and Jim Morrison. Michael met my mother for the first time when we attended Christine's funeral. In 1962, Rosemary told her eldest children she was making porno movies and prostituting herself for the mob. In tears she said she wanted to tell us before Mark and I came upon one of her movies. We had seen one porno that Randy Silver found in his father's closet. Did my mother fear her sons would behold some masked man going down on her?

The Beard employs Jean Harlow and Billy the Kid against their will. Billy goes down on Jean. A beard can be a woman's muff. Why is a famous actress and western outlaw being used to make a sexual uproar? Could it be these characters are found OUT WEST where there is a liberal and beat audience? Andy is BACK EAST with the Velvet Underground and perhaps is in coastal competition with McClure. This ARTIST and POET are having a heavyweight fight. It's cultural warfare!

My kindred, Jessie Benton was the patron of the author, Bret Harte. My father used Jack London's character `The Sea Wolf' to raise his two sons. In 1964 I fled up north after my girlfriend's father threatened to kill me. He had killed Melinda's first boyfriend, a twenty year old Beat named Sky. Melinda was sixteen. Two men came into the New Balladeer, threw Sky against the wall, and told him to get out of town. He refused. A week later he was found dead with his face blow-torched off. He was tortured to death by members of the Purple Gang. Melinda's father and two uncles owned about half of New Mexico where she went to Catholic school. A nun would put her under her desk and take kicks at her saying;

"This is how you treat a Jew!"

My friend, Bryan McClean of Love was a good friend of Sky and was ot happy when I began seeing Melinda.

"She's a Black Widow. She is responsible for my friend's death!"

At sixteen I had to conclude that men fight and die over a woman's beard, her beaverand, you don't mess with a vagina owned by the Purple Gang. I watched an incredible drama unfold as Melinda fought against the idea that her father owned her beard, and thus it was his right to murder anyone that went after it without his permission.

As for these naughty bad boys fighting over `The Beard' GROW UP! Let is see Andy's movie. In the real West folks die for Love and Art!

I got it wrong about McClure being disgusted with Jim about him being a Sex Pot. This is what attracted Michael to Morrison, he wanting him in his play. Jim got his sexiness from Arthur Lee of Love. Thus, what goes around, comes around. But where is THE LOVE?

Above is the painting of Melinda Rosamond rendered. They were best friends. Bryan dated Liza Minelli who Andy did an image of. Andy did several images of our kindred, Liz. Melinda was a hostage of the Purple Gang. When Melinda's father decided I would live, he offered me a job at one of his theatres that showed soft porn. Linda was disgusted of course! Her father would allow me to see beaver on the silver screen, but, not his daughter's beaver.

I was seventeen. I asked my lover if I took the job would I be part of Don's family. Melinda gave me a dirty look.

"What do you think?"

Would I have beheld my mother the Porn Star at Don Frank's movie theatre.

When I worked at Yale Trucking in Hell's Kitchen, I was called `The California Kid'. I was still seventeen when I cam home and got a job at May Company. In 1965 Melinda came to my place of work with my friend Keith Purvis. She told me I should move back up north where she had fled from her father, because there was a movement. This was the Free Speech Movement that was fought to the streets by un-famous people.

It appears McClure wanted Jim Morrison to be in the film version of The Beard, thus, Michael was creating a male sex god, a rock porno star in order to get the Free Love and Free Speech Movement focussed in on HIM, the Sex Genius and Svengali of Hippieville. It appears Morrison was McClure's
Sex Puppet, his Ken Doll, his Frankestein that goes down on Barbie. Arthur Lee was the real deal. Screw McClure. Amber tried to screw every dude at the College of Arts and Crafts as her project!

This fight over a fake pussy is bullshit and not art or poetry! Jim is a manufactured fake rock star who is arrested for exposing his cock on stage.
Jon Presco

Michael McClure:

" Warhol has caused me a lot of grief. He wrote via his apprentice Malanga asking permission to do The Beard as a seventy-minute sound film. We exchanged several letters. At first it sounded good and then finally I said NO! Then I got a card from LA with no return address saying they had gone ahead and done Beard anyway. Then there were telephone calls. And Warhol surrogates showed up in town making rumors about the film being shown in L.A. I jumped on a plane and few to LA and picked up four beautiful girls and nailed Andy at the Trip Club where he was doing his Velvet Underground shot. He showed us the film in a castle in the Hollywood HIlls and the girls and I walked out afterwards without saying a word. It was bad! Next day I phoned and told him never to show the film. Then I had three more meetings with Andy here and gave a showing of the film for Jo Anna and a few mutual friends. It looked even worse than the first time. Warhol has promised to neither show the film nor sell the prints and I have a print of it. Though God knows I don't want it." (FL101-2)

White Rabbit

Jon Presco — 2012-12-23T20:08:58

The first thing you saw as you descended the stairs to Wanda's Mystery Basement was Jeffrey Harkin's latest work of art. It was hung halfway up the stairway, where you had to duck, thus bow to his creation. The most memorable piece was an electric crazy cat looking you dead in the eye and exposing your raw screeching inner-self that tore away any doubt you were an utter failure in life. There was life after failure. Much life!

The biggest mistake we all made was to not collect Jeffry's art and have a show. My friend was a real schizophrenic who was in and out of mental hospitals most of his life. At an early age he was a scientific wizard. At ten years of age he broke into a PG&E box and got zapped with 50,000 volts. His heart stopped. A doctor neighbor revived him.

When Nancy Hamren, the famous Prankster, visited the Harkins house on Skyline, Jeffrey lured her into his room where there was a chemistry set, and gadgets galore. Here was the future light being that Timothy Leary promised the world. Instead, we got the White Rabbit, Jeffreys handle for his ham radio, he breaking in on all frequencies, he screaming obscenities at those who tried to ignore him, block him out. Specially equipped cars roamed the Oakland Hills trying to get bead on the White Rabbit.

All three of Wanda's sons are sort of artists. One went to CCAC and did a couple of paintings and a few sculptures. James on the other hand went hog-wild he rendering as many as five watercolors a day. Not able to read a ruler, he folded his watercolor paper four times, then cut along that fold. This was Jame's `linoleum Tile' period that ripped every splash artist that ever lived. James would overwhelm the art world with quantity, verses, quality, because he believed if you've seen one Jackson Pollack, you've seen them all.

Everytime anyone entered the front door, James was on them like a big dog, he soon lining up his latest masterpieces on the piano. We would be watching television. We were a captive audience. We gave our critique, and off he stomped, he thundering down the basement stairs, causing us to look at each other and wonder;

"Is he going for his gun? Have we really pissed him off this time!"

In one of the bedroom closets, James stored about four boxes. They were addressed to famous art galleries, MOMA, the Whitney, ect. ect. There must have been a thousand little watercolors all the same size. I suggested to James he find an empty warehouse wall, set up a camera, and film himself pasting his linoleum squares on thee side of it. I was no longer his El Friendo after that. These boxes were only to be opened after Jimbo died because only after death do artists become famous. What a genius to deduce this!

You see, James had read a thousand biogrpaphies about artists. He saw a pattern unfold, being, many artists were not recognized in their lifetime -especially by family members and fellow artists. Quite often, just after death, a family member will toss great masterpieces to be in the ash can, never believing that MOMA would die to get their hands on more of these, they having to make do with one or two survivors overlooked in the `Purge of the Jealous Ones'. James believed he had moved to the front of the line, his artwork already packed and ready to go, while the work of his peers is being mishandled, even given away to Goodwill.

When one entered Wanda's green door, there James would be, sprawled out on the floor like a beached whale, he surrounded by art books, he pouring over them as the T.V. cast a strobe light on The Master. Beside him, in a open box, was his snub-nosed S&W the lid lying next to it. The first thing you wanted to do was close the front door and turn on the heat, but, this was Jame's `Hot Period'. He was always hot, and if you went for the door, you saw his chubby hand go for the box and move it closer to him, because, everyone was an intruder in these hot times.

Perhaps they would return, the wood thieves? The Hoods in the woods?

What the wizard of this Master Plan did not realize, that if he would put his gun away, they would return. Sencing Jimbo is no longer packing a peice, the home invasion would be on. Of course James would not reveal where the real family jewels are stashed, packed and ready to go the moment of his demise!

"Fame awaits me! Take me! I'm all your's!"

James is living in Portland dying a slow death due to home-cooked brownies. What became of his boxes, is not known.

* * *
One time when drunk, I asked Jeffrey to give me the exact dose of spychotrophic drugs he took. He had me hold out my hand as he put about seven pills in my palm.

"Here's looking at you kid!"

The next thing I know I am waking on Wanda's couch having to take a giant pee. But, I can not move a muscle. My bladder about to burst, I discover I can not move my lips as Wanda says good morning, and is off to work. Eight hours later, I hear a key put in the lock, and

"Oh! Are you still here, Greg?"

And, what do you mean by that Mrs. Cleaver of the Altered States?

Two hours later I am able to crawl off the couch, and up the stairs to the bathroom. The White Rabbit had taken me on the longest trip of my life. I musty have peed for half an hour.

Above are cats rendered by artists who suffer from schizophrenia.

Shame-based Children

Jon Presco — 2012-12-16T17:10:50

Here may be the last thought my daughter conveyed to me:

"You're so perfect!" my daughter said with disdain.

This may be the only deep thought I heard my daughter utter, that allows me to get a glimpse of who she is, for when I first met my sixteen year old child, she gave me the first of many auditions. We ended up sitting on a couch in a room, alone. Heather picked up a guitar and sang a song. I asked to see her in photo albums so I could own a picture of all the history I had missed. We looked at a photo of Randall Delpiano, and my daughter reasured me she never called Randy "Daddy". Not but four pages on, we are looking at Randy holding my newborn daughter in his arms, he not wearing a shirt, and looking sexy. The caption Heather wrote said "My Daddy".

Oops!

Randy was not perfect. Indeed, he was at the other end of the spectrum. Patrice Hanson on the other hand is perfect! Well, not quite. Patrice's father was a very brutal drunk who beat his wife till she bled. Patrice told me she would rise early to wipe the blood away lest her younger sibling see it. She then made them lunch while her mentally ill mother recouperated from her ordeal. Patrice told me her siblings would call her "Mother". Patrice was a saint.

Heather has bonded with Bad boys and girls. Her friend Leah is hell on wheels. So is Bill Cornwell and Ryan Hunt! These three people celebrate not being perfect. Heather is not supposed to be celebrating her imperfections with them because she is Patrice's empty canvas that the art angel gave her so her slate can be wiped clean, she given a fresh start and a means to become the person she should have become if it were not for the hell she grew up in.

Patrice never met my late and famous sister, yet she was the role model she held up to OUR daughter she kept from me, knowing full well I was the father, and not Randy. When I tried to tell Patrice Christine and I grew up in the same brutal alcoholic system that she did, I was shocked to see that Patrice could not apply this truth to Rosamond. Somehow the artist Rosamond remained pristine as the family chaos beat upon her like waves upon a shore. I and the other hand, was a fucking dangerous mess who could not be trusted to be alone with my daughter, and, later my grandson. I became Patrice's father almost out of the gate because Patrice's view of herself as a Saint was eroding now that her sixteen year old daughter was telling her lies so she could secretly see men, not boys, and have sex with them.

No sooner did Heather finish her song, then it was off to the karaoke Bar where Heather did a sexy rendition of `My Heart Belongs To Daddy"

Mind you I had fourteen years of sobriety and was in a bar. Patrice took our daughter to bars all the time. I saw drunken braggarts come and put their arm around this teenager and give her loud wet compliments, and deliver another sexual innuendo that drunks in bars are pone to deliver. Till this day, Patrice and Heather believe they have done nothing to shame me. Most fathers would disown their daughters if she got pregnant our of wedlock, this traditionally seen as the best way for a daughter to shame her father. Owning another man's name on your birth ciritidace is a good way to shame a father. Gifting a father with no worthy son-in-law is another way. Calling your father a "parasite" and getting your new lover to tell your father he is not a good father or grandfather, is a sure way to shame a father.

All this shame should have been heaped upon Randy and Patrice father, but, they were not available. They were never available. I have been the Family scapegoat in my natal family, and am so in the Hanson family. If it were not for me, then everyone's life would work, would be perfect! Rosamond on the other hand, allowed the Hanson's to own `The Rosy Dream of Dives Perfection and Worthiness'.

Somehow, I and my famiiy owed the Hansons a Rosy Picture of themselves. Take a look at the photo of them now, now that I have blown their cover.
In the photo above we behold the Mystery Man, Craig Hanson. No sooner did I behold my daughter for the first time, then Patrice is asking me to apply my program to her brother, who has a drinking problem and is a loner. Well, not quite. Heather and Craig have long and deep conversations for Craig is another of my daughter's surrogates fathers. Craig never called me and introduced himself. Craig has no child, and, never will, because Heather has fulfilled his need for a child, and a wife.

We also behold Linda Comstock who has a severe drinking problem and no child. Linda competes with her sister for Heather's loyalty and affections. Lind is far from perfect, as is Craig. This is perfect for Saint Heather who will fill in the empty spaces of their lives. I on the other hand will be kept at arms length, because I am an agent, a talent scout from the Rosamond Gallery where a biography is being hammered out. Heather is bid to ony show me her perfect side because when she is elevated up to the stars, there go all the damaged Hanson's.

Heather said this about her new lover, Ryan Hunt, she beaming with joy that her porous in life is revealed.

"Ryan's friends say Ryan doesn't deserve me. They wonder how he got such a hot number. I am changing Ryan, making him more worthy of me!"

I knew my daughter was in deep water, she not doing her thing, but her mother's thing. Patrice told Rany Heather was his child so he would change his ways. My sister told me tried to change our father so she could undo the damage he had done to her. When I tried to tell Heather and Patrice both families were shame-based, they were alarmed and outraged. They got rid of me. When Ryan, and then Bill, came into my daugher's life she got rid of me. This suggests there is shame about being born out of wedlock, yet, the remedy is not for her to get married, and born children to parents who own a marriage cirtificate so they will not feel shame when they grow up.

Bill Cornwell is a shame-based person, too. He is a chip off the old block. His father was a cop and chose a military career. Bill is into disciplining all around him, while he reserves the right to go HOG WILD!

When Heather spat this at me; "Bill is a rigtheous man!" I knew he told Heather I was to blame for her and Tyler's flaws, and my daughter was moving me out of her life. What Bill, Leah, Ryan, Craig, and Patrice have in common, is, they are not Beautiful People. Indeed, they are ugly. Heather on the other hand is made in the image of Rosamond, the Immaculate Conception who guides other abused children to a Fatherless Rebirth.

Non shame-based famiies have no need for a Scapegoat. Of course when the audition goes badly, is has to be the fault of the Talent Scout. I susoect Heather told uncle Craig how it was going with her real father, they having a long conversation about how it was all my fault. Not having deep meaning conversations with me was a way to protect the Hanson family secrets. I was the dreaded Outsider..come alas!

Having uncle Craig as a surogate father is a form of denial that supports the family idea that Heather suffered no lastig damage by not knowing her real father. As a bonus, Heather being Craig's surogate child, washes away the sin of the male sibling, the son of the abusive father, not becoming a father, which suggests there was something very shameful going on in the Hanson house. I being the only siblig without a child in my family, until Heather appeared, did allow my family to title me `Defective'. Heather has rendered her uncle, less defective.

Personality

There is a difference between blaming and shaming a person. Blaming is being told you did something wrong. Shaming is being told that there's something wrong with you, and you're worthless, bad, inferior or inadequate. Examples of shaming statements include:

· "You were a mistake; I wish I'd never had you"

· "You're useless; you'll never amount to anything."

· "You could never do what he/she does"

· "You've ruined my life; you ruin everything for everyone"

Adults shamed in childhood have the following traits:

1. They are afraid to share their true thoughts and feelings with others.

2. They are terrified of intimacy and put up walls in relationships. They also fear commitment as they expect to be rejected.
3. They are often extremely shy, easily embarrassed, and are terrified of being shamed or humiliated. They tend to suffer from debilitating false guilt.

4. They struggle with feelings of worthlessness and believe they are inferior to others. They believe that is something they can never change as worthlessness is at the core of who they are.

5. They often feel ugly and flawed, even when they're beautiful and everyone tells them that.

6. They may be narcissistic and act as if they have it all together; alternatively, they may be completely selfless, almost to the point of being a doormat.
7. They are often very defensive and find it hard to bear the slightest criticism. They feel as if they are being constantly watched and judged.

8. They have a pervasive sense of loneliness and always feel like outsiders (even when others genuinely like and love them).

9. They feel controlled as if they always have to do want others want and say and this blocks spontaneity.

10. They are perfectionists and usually suffer from performance anxiety. This may also cause them to be procrastinators.
11. They tend to block their feelings through compulsive behaviors like eating disorders, retail therapy or substance-abuse.
12. They find it hard to establish and enforce healthy boundaries with others.

War with Children

Jon Presco — 2012-12-16T17:09:01

What the world is interested in, and what needs to be studied, is how two extremely shame-based and abused Children became such creative people. Perhaps I will contact Alice Miller, the renowned German psychologist.

Christine and I may have been working on our autobiographies at the same time. My famous sister's autobiography has disappeared, and my autobiography has been under attack and oppressed by family members and outsiders. My daughter and her mother are the biggest oppressors, they up there with Stacey Pierrot, and Jacci Belford, the foremost promoters of Rosamond's' beautiful women. These two friends of my late sister are the two surrogate parents Heather has been crawling towards since she was born. I suspect Randall Delpiano knew Heather was my child within months of her being born. Being a shameless self promoter, I suspect he and his wife, Patrice Hanson, looked for a way to exploit their Little Angel who could be their foot in the door of the Art World, andHOLLYWOOD!

Surely Patrice was promoting her husband, the famous impersonator of Bob Weir. If only Bob had not been born, then it would be Randy up there on stage. Here was a Dude with a lot of talent, but, no one seemed to notice until he impersonated a famous member of the Grateful Dead. Randy's infant daughter could get him next to some real famous people who would hear his harmonica playing, and, in not time the Delpiano family is out of OAKLAND!

There was one thing that stood in their way, they had no way to contact Rosamond. How frustrating. They saw her rosy gals all over town raking in the doe, but, where did she live. Where was her studio? I knew where she rendered her art work. But, that would be awkward.

"Excuse me Jon. But, I forgot something. Can we have your sister's address and phone number?"

"Patrice. You have put on some weight. Are you pregnant?"

A few days ago I learned that Ryan Hunt has had a major falling out with the other woman he got pregnant and had a son by out of wedlock. There is talk about this woman not letting Ryan see his three year old son, and Tyler see his brother. Tyler may never see his grandfather, and now his half-brother. You can follow the ball of blame and shame back to the infamous Gallery Gargoyles who took over the artistic legacy Christine Rosamond Benton left to her two daughters, and began to promote themselves along with a movie!

Stacey Pierrot titles herself `Caretaker' who was forced to step in and carry on because my family could care less about the art and our children. The court ordered Executor bought Pierrot's act as surrogate mother and caregiver to my nieces, and sold her their legacy. Attorney Sydney Morris blessed Pierrot's biography and movie after I pleaded with him and Judge Silver to not sell our family legacy to outsiders, because, we are all alcoholics who need OUR program of recovery. It is our life support system for generations to come.

I was not trying to exploit my sister'success. My book was my twelfth step that I hoped would lead others into porgram where they would become my brothers and sisters in sobriety. I had other novels in the work that might bring me fame, but, I feared for my sibling and their children. I have given much of my sober novel away for free!

I was ignored. I was made out to be insane and dangerous. Vicki said Morris combed through my letters looking for a threat on his life. Pierrot's ghost writer made Christine out to be dangerous and insane. The caregiver was now in charge of a dead world famous artist's Program of Recovery. Christine's funeral fell on her first sober birthday. There was a party planned at Rocky Point to celebrate Rosamond's sobriety, according to my mother, but, there was no mention of this party. The Pinecone article said they were hikers on Highway 1. There was no mention of the house they stayed the night in. When I asked my sister Vicki for the name of the owner of the house, she refused to give it to me. Vicki shared family secrets with Pierrot and her ghost writer, Tom Snyder, as did aunt Lillian. I and my program of recovery that caters to the living and not the dead was put out in the cold. I have to assume that what hppened to me, happnened to Christine, being, when a member of a covert abusive family begins to tell family secrets, the abusers, and the abused, become extremely threatened because their survival techniques are very disfunctional. They are shame-based as I pointed out in my last post.There was a fight over custody of Drew just before Christine drowned. Did she lose this battle?

When Pierrot put up a webpage, Patrice Hanson found Rosamond, alas, and in no time she and Star Child were on the road to CARMEL! They had not interest in contacting me. They only did so because Snyder and Pierrot understood they did not have a successful book and movie without my contribution. I had agreed to contribute, but, caught Pierrot in another lie. There was still a chance I might come around. Snyder told me about my daughter I did not know I had.

What has to be made perfectly clear, is that if Christine had lived, then our two autobiographies would have merged into one.'Bonds With Angels' is about my quest to see that all my sibling get sober, and we are untied once again. Vicki told me Christine wanted to see me again, we not laying eyes on each other in twelve years due to the drug and alcohol abuse we both suffered from. I believe we were ashamed to see each other in our ugly condition. People knew us described us as the two most beautiful and they wanted to say couple but they said;

"Brother and sister we ever met."

My family appears to be in ruin thanks to those who insisted we do things THEIR WAY. Let it be known: to all those who had it their way, that it is my quest to make sure that the two sons of Ryan Hunt continue to see each other, and own a extremely beuftulf bond, that will be free of drugs and alcohol, and the shame-based system they were born into. so help me God!

I am much more then a caretaker, or caregiver. I will not tolerate the adoleesant and disabling behavior of the so called adults who USE our children to get their needs met, who employ our children to fill in those empty spaces made by abusive parents. When you addu the years I have not seen members of my family you get the big picture. I was the one who confronted out parents, and took action to protect my siblings. After I confrinted my father for coming on to my girlfriend, Vic launched a campaign to convince my sisters, and other relatives, I was not his son, but the son of the dude Rosemary had an extramarital affair with. He made me out to be his dangerous, and insane enemy sent to kill him by Rosemary. He did this so I would not be believed when I told my siblings about how he tried to seduce Gloria Ehlers. I said nothing. My father un-bprn me, as did my daughter who feared I would tell the truth. Christine has not seen her family since 1994, because she died that year. There is no complete death scene for Rosamond, because much of it is fiction made up stuff! I am a renowned genealogists who looks at marriage, birth, and death cirtificates in order to fill in the blanks in our Family tree. Why is my famiy tree beig filled in with dark craters? The fight over our children continues!

Christine and I were the true parents in our violent and distructive household. Our drunken parents warred with one another around the clock. It was I who found sanctuary and peace in rendering works of art. Christine wanted that serentiy as well. If Christine and I could create such beauty while standing in a pit of dispair, then our kin can do the same. Christine and I admitted we were insane, and sought help. You can not stand by and watch Tyler and Brody go down the drain. You must do an intervention on yourselves! You are the adults. They need you. We can change the course of their lives when we change the course of our lives. This was the creative lesson Christine and I were putting dow in our books.

Caretaker

A person who takes care of another in the general sense or in the sense of a caregiver or looks after someone who is severely physically disabled and/or mentally ill and is not able to care for themselves (US) / carer (UK)

Caregiver,[1] (U.S., Canadian and Chinese usage) and carer (UK, NZ, Australian usage) are words normally used to refer to unpaid relatives or friends of a disabled individual who help that individual with his or her activities of daily living.

The words may be prefixed with "family" "spousal", "child", "parent", "young" or "adult" to distinguish between different care situations, and also to distinguish them definitively from the paid version of a caregiver, a Personal Care Assistant or Personal Care Attendant (PCA). Around half of all carers are effectively excluded from other paid employment through the heavy demands and responsibilities of caring for a vulnerable relative or friend. The term "carer" may also be used to refer to a paid, employed, contracted PCA.

Knights of the Golden Circle

Knights of the Golden Circle

http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/fraternalism/knights_of_the_\
golden_circle.htm

The  Knights of the Golden Circle was a Texas-based secret society.
Their  objective was to create a confederation of slave-holding states
in parts  of Mexico and the West Indies, extending slavery; the group's
plan thus  mirrored the objectives of secession, a cause they actively
supported  during the Civil War. Legend has it that they hid the fabled
confederate  gold allegedly sent off for safe keeping as the waning days
of the war.  Others have linked them to the KKK.

At the link below is a  fascinating history of the KGC and the
historical context, it is after  all subtitled "A History of Secession
from 1834 to 1861." It was written  by a member of the order and
published in 1861. The rituals and degree  structure described in this
book clearly indicate the influence of  Freemasonry; whether it was
founded by men who happened to be Masons is  unclear, as Freemasonry is
not mentioned in the text.
