The Trial of the ex-President of the United States, that millions believe is The Real President, involves beautful women. My autobiography is titled ‘Capturing Beauty’. Playmate McDougall already testified, and Hope Hicks – is next!
Millions of White Republican Male and Females believe Obama was put in office by a vast Muslim Conspiracy to get White Women to fall for Suave Black Muslim Men – a Black James Bond – and vote for Anti-Christian and Anti-Zionist laws. No rabbi, or Christian leader has put down this Sexized Racism that will soon appear on major campuses all over the world. Has Hamas put sexy operatives on campus to seduce innocent white women into favoring Palestinians over Jews? Sexy Tik Tok Babes are suspect in corrupting the thinking and morays of College Men and Women – who are not protesting Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Do they find Putin more sexy than Selenskyy?

While speaking to reporters, Trump lamented that the “rigged trial” was keeping him away from birthday celebrations with Melania, who has not yet accompanied her husband to court on any day. He said he would be flying back to Florida at the end of the day.
“I want to start by wishing my wife Melania a very Happy Birthday,” Trump said. “It would be nice to be with her, but I’m in a courthouse for a rigged trial… But I do have to begin by wishing Melania Happy Birthday.”

“A Republican and a Christian, Foster voted for Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL) in the special election primary and said she plans to cast her ballot for Jones in the general. She considers Roy Moore “an abomination.”
Two days ago I saw an image of Hope Hicks sitting in a chair facing U.S. Senators. Our Oregon Senator, Ron Wyden, was one of them. You can see his blurry image in the top photo – that is a historic shot!
“Rena! Is that you?”
Yesterday I posted John Monroe’s invitation to his and Alley’s friends to come join in on the cyber-bullying. He wanted to destroy me with his masterful FLAMING! The anniversary of the assassination of JFK, was yesterday.
“Anyone acquainted with the subtleties of violent communication can see that Presco entertains death-phantasies regarding Alley and Belle. Every psychotic lone shooter imagines themselves and their target as dual immortalities — here Presco sees Belle and Alley as potential victims that can turn him into an Eternal Name. His fear is dangerous, his illness is dangerous, his bigotry is dangerous. And I’m seeing just three people willing to put up a defense against that danger. And while obviously psychotic and seemingly paranoid as well, he is above all a threat to people in our community.
I’d like to point out the following two quotes from Presco:
“She’s the head of the dragon of fear! She should have not let me know that, because when I have to fight, I go for a head shot! Especially when the body is so co-dependent to Alley.”
Dangerous John and Alley are responsible for making normal citizens feel UNSAFE!
“The authors of the report bluntly told city officials that downtown Eugene has reached a “crisis level.” Key words frequently used to describe the city center included “dirty,” “unsafe,” and “dangerous.”
This did not surprise many — if any — local residents.”

Last night CNN did a good report on Trump’s Tweeting. He is an experienced FLAMER and CYBER-BULLY………..CYBER-BULLY-BELLE!
I have been involved in FLAMING since 1997. I flamed with Ian Sinclair and Pinkham. Hope Hicks is The Dragon Lady who could bring down the President of the United States!
“It was Beauty who killed the Beast!”
“Flaming is an abuse technique that bullies often use in various online forums. Flaming also occurs on social media sites, personal blogs, chat rooms, email groups and famous video sites such as YouTube. Bullies often use the Internet to intimidate, insult and confuse people because they do not have to reveal their identities to do such. Children who use the Internet to browse or perform studies are vulnerable to having run-ins with these people, who are often referred to as cyber bullies. Flaming is one of the top five abuse tactics that bullies use to torment their victims.”
I have been ganged-up on many times. I write a poem for Belle and Rena, and I have hell to pay. They led a mob that chased me thru the streets of Cruel Town. Christian women are throwing up signs on their lawns.
“Who’s side are you on?”
Rena walks down the middle of the street, totally naked as she did in my in-finished novel ‘Golden Girls of the Corn Cob’. In Hope Hick’s Lolita – is alive – and Donald has got her! She is his Beautiful Gunslinger. This is high noon!
“Do you know where your muse is?”
We are everything that that Russian writer said we were. Roy Moore went looking for a Pure Wife at the Bozeman Teen Dance Center. Their Lolita’s are grown women, now. They will come to the defense of the Cowboy Pedophiles. Will Hot Hicks stand by her man? And, where the fuck did all these Russian child molesters come from?
There is a Raymond Chandler feel to all this. His muse keeps butting in, insisting I author my novel – in his hand! Because she knows I am writing ‘The Great American Novel’.

Chapter
The Long Con
No one likes to admit they have been conned. This is true of millions of Trump followers who can’t accept the truth HE LOST and is A LOSER, because they got to look at him way down the line. The mist – has cleared! The big sucker, has been licked down to the stick.
Yesterday was Father’s Day, and, alas – I WENT ALL THE WAY! I accepted the truth my daughter was conning me – from the get! She rehearsed her role in THE LONG CON – since she was a child. Her mother and aunt and uncle identified me to her as….THE MARK! When Patrice approached me at the Kerry House, she was not wearing a wedding ring. She was hunting. Her two boys, and her Lover Boy – who looks like Bob Weir – are out of food. The rent is due. They NEEDED a short con. Her job is to give me a boo-hood story and I give her $20 bucks, maybe $50. There are folks from Peidmont who patramoize that bar. How many have paid the rent, because they don’t want to see a woman and her two boys out on the street. One of them is the son of a Chicago Black Panther who Patrice said died on a fire. Did she – LIE?
Patrice asked me to rescue David and her other son, Matt (ten and five) from her husband Randy, who was abusing them. After living with me for two months she said she was thinking of going back to him. I asked her to leave. He was threatening to kill me. Patrice found out she was pregnant a week later.

Above is a phtogrpahy taken at the Portland Zoo by Katherine, the wife of David, and mother of Malcom, who was named after Malcom X. She told me at their wedding she met several of David’s sisters who told her stories about Angela Davis.
I just took a long break to look for the grave of Kay Coakley who may have been disappeared along with her sister who my mother said was trying to take Kay’s legacy from her – that she wanted to leave to Vicki. There may not have been a probate filed. My RECOVERY NOVEL ‘Bond’s With Angels’ begins with the Angel my sisters saw as children. Kay saw it too. I decided to sew my daughter and her mother for breach of written and verbal contract.
I googled Mayor Libby Shaaf to suggest the city we and Vice President Kamala Harris, were born in, lead the way in REPARATIONS. I discovered Oakland, and Marin County are giving GUARANTEED INCOMES to the poor. There is a artist program as well I was going to send her a link to all my Oakland History, and my Marin Shipmates idea, as well as The Black Liberation Navy idea that could be based and funded by The Port of Oakland. Alas, I own the credibility my daughter and her family helped destroy. There is so much more to this story!
I suspect Heather Hanson learned my sister Vicki Presco was dead before I did. Who told her? Heather drastically changed when Bill Cornwell turned her into an alcoholic. Her aunt helped.

In the middle of a worldwide awakening to the centuries-old racism and oppression suffered by Black people, some African Americans finally see tangible assistance – even if the help isn’t characterized as reparations.
Oakland, Calif., Mayor Libby Schaaf announced that the city would begin a guaranteed income project that would provide $500 per month to Black and Indigenous families.
The assistance, which targets low-income families of color in the 426,000-population city, will last 18 months.
Mayor Schaaf detailed that the money comes with “no-strings attached,” and recipients can use it as they please.
“We have designed this demonstration project to add to the body of evidence and to begin this relentless campaign to adopt a guaranteed income federally,” Mayor Schaaf told the local ABC News station.
The station reported that, for the project, the Oakland Resilient Families program has so far raised $6.75 million from private donors, including Blue Meridian Partners, a national philanthropy group.
The programs require residents have at least one child under 18 and income at or below 50 percent of the area median income – about $59,000 per year for a family of three.
Half the spots are reserved for people who earn below 138 percent of the federal poverty level or about $30,000 per year for a family of three, ABC reported. Participants are randomly selected from a pool of applicants who meet the eligibility requirements.
The report noted that Oakland’s project is significant because it is one of the most outstanding efforts in the U.S. so far, targeting up to 600 families. And it is the first program to limit participation strictly to Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities.
Oakland, where 24 percent of the residents are Black, is among a growing list of municipalities providing financial payments to people of color – or reparations.

The long con refers to any of a variety of cons which require more planning, preparation, a longer window of interaction with the con’s target, the mark, and a longer period of time to execute. The long con may also require a large crew or a larger number of involved people to pull off the deception needed to relieve the mark of their cash or other valuables. Unlike a short con, the long con requires time to slowly draw the mark or marks into the con, but often result in very large pay-outs. Because of the difficulty in organization and execution, long cons are considered to be for experts, not the province of new, young con artists.
Traditionally, the term “long con” has referred to an elaborate con of one or more marks which ends with the payout, when the marks surrender their money or valuables. Long cons play on basic human frailties: greed, lust and desperation, qualities are also usually found in the mark. A classic example of a traditional long con is a Ponzi/pyramid scheme (Promise/most vulnerable children) involve multiple marks, often in sizable numbers, and a gradual payout from a foundation, but are able to stay in place for long periods of time of the lovable, beyond reproach original “Mark.”

Coakley Family History
This is a surname of Olde English origins. It derives from ‘Cokelei’ as recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book, and translating as ‘The lands of Coca’, a baptismal name. There are in fact three such villages in England, in the counties of Worcester, Oxford and Suffolk, although the surname in its various and varied forms, is most recorded in London. This is not in itself unusual. It probably means that between the 14th and 17th centuries the various villages were ‘cleared’ for sheep farming, and the tenants then moved to the ‘mecca’ – as London was so perceived to be. In so doing they would take with them as their identity the name of their former village, and given local dialects and poor spelling, this would create the various forms…

Rena as Britania and American Eagle
Posted on January 27, 2017by Royal Rosamond Press
Rena’s late husband was Former Head of the British Defence Staff which was founded by Winston Churchill to insure these two allies would forever be on the same side. It appears Theresa May is responding to the pledge of unity in meeting with Don Juan Trumpster.
In 1970 I asked Rena to marry me, but, she was too young. Consider our beautiful children and their contributions to the Creative Irish Rosamond Line. I was poor and homeless when we met. We camped for fifty days in the beautiful wilderness of America. I knew nothing about my Patriotic roots, and Captain Samuel Rosamond.
I was once the low-life scum, the perfect example of an abusive male. I was not worthy to be in her company, least the same city. She went to live on the Isle of Wight with her rich, and elderly hero of the Empire, leaving me standing alone on Freedom Shores.
What great tales of old, what lines of beautiful poetry, can bring you home, and restore, the liberty we once owned atop Rose Mountain, above the fog, the clouds – the wings of muses soar! My beautiful American Dream.

Admiral, K.C.B., D.S.C. Former Head of the British Defence Staff. He was Commandant of the Royal College of Defence Studies in 1976, a UK senior serving military officer between 1972 and 2001. For the 2nd Louis Vuitton Cup, which was held in Fremantle, Australia in 1987, he paid an entry fee deposit of $16.000 for Royal Thames Yacht Club’s White Crusader I and White Crusader II, representing United Kingdom.
In 1922 a cabinet committee under Winston Churchill, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, recommended the formation of the College.[1] The college was founded in 1927 as the Imperial Defence College and was located at 9 Buckingham Gate until 1939.[1] Its objective at that time was the defence of the Empire.[1] In 1946, following the end of World War II, the college reopened at Seaford House, Belgrave Square and members of the United States forces started attending courses.[1] It was renamed the Royal College of Defence Studies in 1970 and in 2007 the Queen and Prince Philip visited the college.[1]
The British Defence Staff – US, which was previously known as British Defence Staff (Washington),[1] is the home of the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom) in the United States of America and its purpose is to serve the interests of Her Majesty’s Government in the USA.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn asked if May would discuss the issue of misogyny with Trump and raise the concerns of 100,000 people who marched over the weekend in an anti-Trump pro-women’s rights demonstration in London. May responded that she was not afraid to “speak frankly” with the President, though she did not confirm she would bring up the issue of women’s rights with him.

Yesterday I realized Rena lied to me when she said she was not interested in becoming a model like her three older sisters after she saw what this profession had done to them. One of them was the mistress of Robert Vesco who prepared Donald Trump’s way.
In 1970, Rena left Grand Island Nebraska with her twenty-six year old lover. She was seventeen. They got out of the car at Venice Beach where Rena paraded around in a bikini that I and my good friend beheld her in on Pismo Beach. This friend kidnapped her, drove three hundred yards down the beach until he turned around. Rena had demanded he go back and get me. Consider Paris and Helen of Troy. He had to have her after beholding her beauty at the Beauty Contest he judged. All hell breaks lose. Casandra freaks out.
“There is the face that launched a thousand ships!
Rena and her lover did not get out of the car on Nob Hill,so folks can see her beautiful face. She told me one of her sisters was going to be on the cover of a magazine – wearing a bikini. What fourteen year old would not want to be a top model like her older sisters? I think it was the sisters, and Rena’s grandmother – whom she lived with – who discouraged her.
No sooner on Venice Beach, knocking them dead, then Lover-Boy calls the muscle guys working out “FAGS!” Six of them chased this Nebraskan down the boardwalk, catch him, and put him in the hospital. That evening Rena and I meet. Her ride on the Faggot Wagon had come to an end. All this way, and no further. She did not have clue where he went. She had waited by the Venice Pier for fourteen hours, until I cam along at 3:00 A.M. I was the Last Man Standing, who looked down on the crashing waves, and asked;
“Where are you?”
How could she betray a beautiful poet?
Rena married Admiral Sir Ian Easton who entered ‘White Crusader’ in America’s Cup. That is the White Crusader racing America’s entry in the photo above. Did Rena marry the real James Bond?
My Muse and I went swimming at Monte Rio Beach about ten times. She would not allow me in the water with her because she put on a show, a beauty contest, that blew the competition out of the water. I title her a Kraken.
Before she sent me her long letter she wrote on Christmas, I found her house she lives in pictured above. She informed me she was with her second husband living on a hill overlooking his cattle ranch. They were divorced. She lied.
I have depicted Rena as the American Eagle. Look at her eyes! To see Miss U.S.A swoop on stage as this eagle, blew my mind. She was going for the Redneck Tea Party vote. I think Rena wanted to slip me in her back pocket with the other Trophy-Lovers she collected. Then she read her seventeen year old self – was still the star of my show! At sixty-one, she got very possessive. What a trip! With Thomas Hart Benton’s collaboration with John Steinbeck, we are looking at Great California Love Story.
When we went to get her things at this pad on the beach, one of the dudes who lived there, was on acid. He made whistling sounds, held out his finger and said;
“Come pretty bird! Come sit on my finger!”
I saved my muse whom I had asked to come into my life.

“Don Roscoe and Humphrey Bogart had many things in common, the foremost being, they owned yachts that were far superior to Jack London’s wreck ‘The Snark’. On the San Francisco Bay, one could see Don’s yacht ‘Bohemian Roe’ racing Bogies Boat ‘Santana’ past Alcatraz Island. Every other boat owner looked on in awe. From the Berkeley Hills you could make out this incredible sight that American Intellectuals titled ‘The Zenith of Western Culture’. This infuriated the Swells in Los Angeles, and other Hollywood Stars who were befuddled. The Kennedy family took note, and shrugged their shoulders.”
Rena had graduated from high school, and was looking to go on adventure. Her grandmother did not have the money to send her to Europe, so she set out on a Road Trip with her boyfriend.
After I rescued Andromeda from the Sea Monster, I took her North, into the California Redwoods. I showed Rena the Giant Sequoia on our way to the Russian River. Having an alcoholic father, I don’t think Rena was ever sent away to Camp. In desperate need of a place to swim I took my beautiful muse to the beach at Monte Rio. Eureka, she had found it, her perfect Summer Vacation spot. Here this straight A student could take a well deserved time-out before attending the University of Nebraska.
Easton joined the Royal Navy in 1931 and qualified as a pilot at the start of World War II in which he saw active service on aircraft carriers.[1] On 4 January 1941, flying a Fairey Fulmar of 803 Squadron from HMS Formidable during a raid on Dakar he force landed, with his aircrewman Naval Airman James Burkey and was taken prisoner and held by the Vichy French at a camp near Timbuktu until released in November 1942.[2] He was appointed Assistant Director of the Tactical and Weapons Policy Division at the Admiralty in 1960 and was seconded to the Royal Australian Navy as Captain of HMAS Watson in 1962.[1] He went on to be Naval Assistant to the Naval Member of the Templer Committee on Rationalisation of Air Power in 1965, Director of Naval Tactical and Weapons Policy Division at the Admiralty in 1966 and Captain of the aircraft carrier HMS Triumph in 1968.[1] After that he was made Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (Policy) in 1969, Flag Officer for the Admiralty Interview Board in 1971 and Head of British Defence Staff and Senior Defence Attaché in Washington, D.C. in 1973.[1] He last posting was as Commandant of the Royal College of Defence Studies in 1976: he commissioned armourial bearings for the College which were presented during a visit by the Queen in November 1977.[3] He retired in 1978.[1]
Among the charges that emerged during the 1970s, the SEC accused Vesco of embezzling $220 million from four different IOS funds. During 1973, Vesco fled to Costa Rica. Shortly before his departure, hoping to end the SEC investigation into his activities, Vesco routed substantial contributions to Richard Nixon through Nixon’s nephew Donald A. Nixon.
Vesco was also investigated for a secret $200,000 contribution made to the 1972 campaign to re-elect Nixon. As counsel to International Controls Corporation, New Jersey lawyer Harry L. Sears delivered the contribution to Maurice Stans, finance chairman for the Committee to Re-elect the President. Vesco had wanted Attorney General John N. Mitchell to intercede on his behalf with SEC chairman William J. Casey. While Vesco fled the country, Stans, Mitchell, and Sears were indicted for obstruction of justice, though charges against all three were dismissed.[9]

FREMANTLE, Australia — New Zealand syndicate officials, no strangers to boat construction controversy, threatened Friday to protest Britain’s use of a new keel cast in Australia.
The officials charge the keel for Britain’s White Crusader was cast in Perth despite a stipulation that boats challenging for the America’s Cup must be designed and built in the country of the challenging club.
White Crusader Syndicate Director Ian Easton admitted the keel was cast in Australia but said a replacement of the original keel was considered a modification and allowed. Easton refused to say if the new keel has been used yet on White Crusader.
Easton said the cost of molding a complete new keel in the country of origin plus flying it to Australia would be prohibitive and ‘greatly favor the defenders over the challengers.’
‘The rules are very clear, like black and white,’ said KZ7 Syndicate Chairman Michael Fay. ‘I don’t believe the British would be sailing with a keel that isn’t legal. I don’t think they would jeopardize the points earned so far.’

FREMANTLE, Australia — Body searches of America’s Cup crews may be necessary if race officials suspect the use of pocket-size devices providing up-to-the-minute weather information, an official with Great Britain’s White Crusader Challenge said Friday.
Ian Easton, a director of the syndicate, said he believed at least one challenging team was using the illegal visual pager system. If true, that would violate the rule disallowing transmission of any weather reports to a competing yacht after the 10-minute warning gun is fired.
“If the race committee instituted a search of a boat before the start of a race, it should look at asking crewmen to empty their pockets,” Easton said.
“These devices are quite small and can be easily hidden–or thrown overboard for that matter.”
Easton said he is not prepared to name the syndicate he suspects.
“There is some evidence, but not enough” to go to race officials, he said. “It would be awful if the Cup was won by a crew using these devices.”
From the Royal Thames Yacht Club, White Crusader was designed by Ian Howlett and was a traditional 12 metre design evolved from the DeSavery Lionhart ’83 boat of the previous Americas Cup event. However, White Crusader II was a radical design and designed by David Hollam. This second boat was used as a trial horse against White Crusader, but the team eventually decided to use the more conventional designed boat. Tank testing was carried out at Southampton University and HMS Haslar. The deadline for acceptance of challenges was 1 April 1986 and Admiral Sir Ian Easton wrote his own personal cheque for $16,000 as an entry fee deposit. Harold Cudmore acted as skipper-tactician and starting helmsman who then handed over the helm to Chris Law for the remainder of each races. Both boats were originally named simply Crusader One and Two but the “White” part of their names were added when millionaire Graham Walker (Of White Horse whiskey fame) gave heavy sponsorship to the British challengers at the last minute before the event started so the “White” was added to their names.
To my chagrin, after beholding her in her bikini, she would not let me in the water with her, for in the water this Danish…

I believe Coakley kept Rosemary out of jail after she was busted for making porno movies for Big Bones Remmer. The Coakleys claim they descend from Fair Rosamond.
Kay had a huge landscap of Lake Merritt in her dining room that should have been in a museum. Rosemary told her children the Coakley family owned allot of property around this lake.
J. Frank Coakley
James Francis Coakley was born and raised in Oakland, California, and educated at St. Mary’s College, Stanford University, and Boalt Hall law school of the University of California at Berkeley. In later years he taught law at both Boalt Hall and St. Mary’s.
Frank joined the Alameda County prosecutor’s staff on February 21, 1923, as a deputy district attorney, following his graduation from Boalt Hall. He served under three predecessors: Ezra Decoto, Earl Warren and Ralph Hoyt. Under Warren, Frank served as assistant head of the Criminal Division. Later, under Hoyt, he served as chief assistant.
Having served in the U.S. Navy during World War I, participating in the expedition to Vladivostok, Frank was recalled to active duty during World War II as a Commander in the U.S. Navy’s Judge Advocate General service, serving as chief prosecutor for court martial cases in the 12th Naval District. Following the war, Frank briefly entered private practice with his brother, Thomas, who later became a Superior Court judge in Mariposa County. That interlude was short-lived, as Ralph Hoyt soon decided to move on to the bench himself. Frank was called to take over for Hoyt immediately. Although Frank had discovered private practice to be more lucrative, he knew his heart was with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, and that was where he belonged.

The last time I spoke with former guaranteed income guru Michael Tubbs, he was excitedly explaining just how many cities in how many states were clamoring to give a few hundred bucks a month to a few hundred of their residents — no strings attached.
“We’re probably at like 20 to 25 states now,” said the former mayor of Stockton and co-founder of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income. “I’ve got to find some mayors in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming.”
Indeed, the announcements about new guaranteed income programs have become almost routine, especially in California, where about half a dozen cities have adopted them. Marin County is the latest.
But there is nothing routine about what Oakland just announced.ADVERTISING
On Tuesday, Mayor Libby Schaaf, flanked virtually by Tubbs, said that her Bay Area city would soon start giving out $500 a month to 600 residents for at least 18 months.
Like a lot of cities, the recipients must be poor and have at least one child to qualify. Specifically, they must have an annual household income of no more than $59,000 for a family of three — or roughly 50% of the median income — and half of the recipients will be selected from households that pull in less than $30,000 a year.

But unlike a lot of cities, the recipients also must be Black, Indigenous or otherwise identify as a person of color to qualify.

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

Athletic & Multiuse Field UpdateThis year, we’ve seen another painfully extended rainy season, which has kept the City’s sports fields too wet to play on for more days than any of us would like. The parks maintenance staff continues to work diligently to ensure fields remain safe and playable, but unfortunately, Mother Nature’s whims are beyond our control. Thank you to all youth sports leagues for their patience as we weather the weather together.
