1972 March 19^th - Dr Len Ransom LIR goes on …/& tapes

to ANDRE MALRAUX & Beryl a friend “… The EARLS, & BRITISH GOVERNMENT & CROWN……These criminally insane from their youth (dopes) … had ALL THE DOCUMENTS of the Overseas Estate, & copies the correspondence from New York & Argentine … from around the globe … from Christmas 1933 when they hi-jacked/STOLE the POST to themselves… Property of a family NEVER WARDS OF COURT because they are bred of so many other nations ! IT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED BY THE TRUSTEES, administrators , Ransom families OVERSEAS ! THE ESTATE WOULD GO TO OTHERS OUTSIDE THE BRITISH EMPIRE ! … `

`… & from XMAS 1937/1938 - ALL of ANDRE`s POST stolen by them … about Estate matters especially from that winter of his Guardianship - they were also learning of his own professional life from reading all his post … THIS IS THE POSITION WHEN HE JOINS General de GAULLE winter 1945/1946 ... IMMEDIATELY BOTH MEN HAD NO PRIVACY & NOW NO RESPECT from an ill educated Class in Gross Britain … who could use the State to commit horrendous bloody crimes for themselves to acquire kudos/riches … ALL THEY WANTED WAS MONEYS & POWER over other nations… The old GAMBLING spirit, the RACES … WE MUST WIN … They seem to have FIXED MINDS over the IMPORTANCE of white supremacy … The British Empire & those of Scandinavia … `

LIR - “ ... my poor brother FJR not knowing of this theft could rely on our father’s postal arrangements for information on the Estate as he had always done - all of us had … The custom was all our overseas mail for many years had been sent to the Argentine Embassy/or USA … the `Jerusalem` household Deptford by the little park might be overseas awhile …

We received FULL information summer 1939 on the theft that had gone on since Christmas 1933 … TRICKS to steal our correspondence packages parcels from abroad … using Angela`s entry into the family at the Palace … `

( XMAS 1933 onwards/ the post to young FRED RANSOM father of the HEIR is stolen from the ROYAL POSTAL SERVICE & directed to the back of the Palace & opened on a trestle table by family of Earl Crawford Lindsay, Angela & Mr JIM, Jimmie Jong… & some others … `

Quote from witnesses/records/ ` All correspondence was carefully laid aside & taken away to WHITEHALL by 3 grey suited employees, men who had two special Rooms Whitehall to illegally collect information & from here the initial VIOLENCE to lay hands on the ESTATE in secret silence BEGINS - using the resources of the British Government & Armed Forces ` /Records/related in this document/ text/Greta Ransom & Andre Malraux

LIR - ` The most cruel behaviour had gone on 1930s … & clearly this was how our kith/kin abroad were subjects of robberies - their households & many persons, children, now go missing (as the 2^nd World War begins ) …

property taken - all identification disappears - often properties burned … & we discovered 1948 onwards bodies burned too …

The violence was coming from a Class of this nation … ”

… “ We are given by witnesses 1948 a description of Christmas 1936 … when we all had to return to Britain … the heir age 3 years was kidnapped back & passport removed without the LAW being involved … “ THAT YEAR 1936, two trestle tables were set up at the back of the Palace … the tearing open in indecent haste of packages addressed to a child of our family & to others … all written enclosures carefully laid aside by 3 men come in who worked in the weekdays at WHITEHALL ” …

“ There was a trampling under foot of little gifts … from overseas from the GROTE HOMES … made by little hands, simple things … This caused consternation to some who were employed in the Palace or called in to assist in the jollifications … It was commented by visitors that ` these two girls should not be taking part in this …` Mr JIM was often raucous … He seized something made of feathers & stuck it on his behind … then began crowing like a Cock … ’

“ That year two bins went down the Thames to the incinerator …

2 trestle tables had been needed for the packages …” …

“… & it had been going on since the child was born 1933 … the Christmas & birthday presents were torn open by the family who claimed my grandmother MILLIE…” Diaries/Dr Len Immanuel RANSOM

1933 Christmastide - JACOPSHOLMEN Island West Greenland

`the Christmas THAT WAS NOT`… ` March 1933 Aunt Mag had a baby again … the christening would be in the family church where she had sat a VIGIL the week before her Wedding 1863 to Thomas Immanuel Grote son of the New York Broker GROTE, established 1830...`

`… her watercolours were on display in New York … she had copied the Delacroix & other painters in the church the days before the Ceremony, she wearing a scarlet gown her father had made in Spain. A BRIDE IN SCARLET AGAINST THE SNOWS …`

The French painter Delacroix an old friend of the Ransom family sailed up from Bordeaux with her father in the Family ship … The MARY ROSE … & they’d begun the decoration of grandpa JACOP Poulsen`s Church. A painting is made of Gertrude “ Gertrude beside the water in her savage necklace ” They’d known Gericault painter who died so young … Margarethe`s father FRED RANSOM is a torso sketch for the RAFT … a few months before Gericault began work, young FRED RANSOM 19 years old had foolishly lost his ship in the channel by not paying attention to the weather ! He & another were found two days later on a spar ! HE TOOK A VOW HE WOULD NEVER LOSE A SHIP AGAIN ! & he did not ! ( Wreck/raft of the Medusa/Gericault/Louvre PARIS )

LIR has been reading his 1930s diaries - LIR with ANDRE MALRAUX explains to Beryl an old friend 1972 March 19/20^th The Pillar House Harwell & afterwards at Beryl’s home … `they talked until 6.30 in the cold winter dawn …rested 5 hours then drove to London to friends … ANDRE felt he had never understood so much before…being able to speak for 4 hours non-stop … he came to understand what he should have realised was happening …`

“ 1933 - Jacopsholmen Island West Greenland … a great month of festivities planned for XMAS 1933/1934 … ships were coming in to our Island full of kin & friends & some Grote Homes children to be chosen … Services in old Jacop`s Church & my niece ( Greetha Frobisher Weddell Ransom ) to be christened again … with kin from the GREENLAND 18^th century…

1933 October - 2 violent murders by LINDSAY gang & JIM

stop the opening of the independent from 1770 Democracy Jacopsholmen Island of West Greenland …

To have XMAS 1933 on our Island was paramount to again a push for INDEPENDENCE for Greenland … ( the cancelling of XMAS 1933, is going to lead to CATASTROPHE & in 1939 The Island to be the TOMB of M. de SALLE of PARIS & his wife & 2 of their 4 children under 12 years . )

OUR RANSOM MONEY IS READY in USA & around the globe to build the University of POUL Gronlander 6` 5 inches tall d 1765

( Eskimo & Northern Chinese a little French ancestry ) … The money is safe in USA & South America…round the globe…from the philanthropy Grote HOMES on their Ransom lands & Estates, & from hundreds of years of The Ransom Estate SEA TRADERS investments & moneys …

PLOTTERS to get hold of the Island as well as the entire Estate are Earls of Crawford & LINDSAY (since 1883 marriage Millie Frobisher & JOHN RANSOM ) & a piece of vermin half Chinese-British a RACIST Jimmie Jong who FELT THAT HE & ANGELA chums since their teens, should have their share of the great ESTATE GROTE RANSOM around the globe …

Violet comes into Ransom families via THE SOULS … a movement of young people aesthetes … she is cousin to Millie Frobisher & learned a lot she later realised from knowing JOHN & POUL RANSOM from the early 1880s late 19^th century … their sister Margarethe the girl-of-the-snows whose Goddess status she grasped far too late, just before her own death perhaps …
