Cross Over Point - Morgan's Defense of the Manchesters

The post below was originally, and still, appears on Morgan Pillsbury Gell, however, since it is actually an attempt to defend Alex and Laura by inserting commentary into a previous post of my own, I'm also publishing it here.   

Morgan is my estranged, and very strange, biological child.  Her life has left a wake of destruction longer than memory.  Her behavior was always of predatory, with her closest family members her first victims.  After trying to understand  and forgive for over forty years I finally wised up.  

This was the person who found Jacqueline Misho for my husband, Craig (Incest Porn) Franklin, when he decided to divorce me.  Although she denies it, it is clear there was an intimate relationship between her and my husband, although I do not know if this started before, or after, he left me.  

Morgan admitted to me discussing with him ways to manipulate events so I would die of a heart attack during this period.  She also attempted to persuade me to turn off my son's life-support while he was in a coma.  Her argument was that she had a bad heart and needed a transplant.  It was, naturally, a lie.  

When we have children we do not believe our own eyes and minds because it is too painful.  We see innocence, goodness, mistakes but not evil.  We make excuses for them, as I did for Morgan. 

I refused to see what was true about Morgan's behavior, making myself and my other, precious children vulnerable.  I will regret the past every day of my life.  But I will not make the same mistake again.  Now, I know.  

This post below was originated by Carolyn Anne Barteaux, (AKA Carolyn Anne Kellett, Carolyn Anne Foster, Carolyn Anne Pillsbury, Morgan Francis Pillsbury and finally Morgan Pillsbury Gell)

MELINDA PILLSBURY FOSTER AKA MARY LINDA FOSTER MY INSANE MOTHER! (NOTE:  I do not acknowledge any relationship with Morgan, having eliminated her from my life, a real relief)  I JUST NOW SAW POSTED THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF MANCHESTERS CHILDRENS BIRTH CERTIFICATES ON THE INTERNET! WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS TO A INOCENT CHILD AND WHERE DID MELINDA PILLSBURY GET THE DOCUMENTS FROM WENDY MONTAGU BUFORD? WHAT MOTHER WOULD POST THERE (sic) CHILDRENS (sic) BIRTH RECORDS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE! ONLY MY MOTHER WOULD DO THIS!

 The birth certificates about which Morgan seems to be so exercised are not on The Duke and Doxie of Manchester but, until a few days age, appeared on the site controlled and maintained by Alexander and Laura. But asserting that the publication of birth certificates represents any danger to a child is absurd. There are no identifying numbers or information on these and certificates are routinely published. However, Morgan and Jay published my confidential medical records on their site, which is a matter still to be addressed. But it will be, rest assured.

Morgan is highly psychopathic, which is why I have excised her from my life and no longer acknowledge any relationship with her. She variously refers to me as her mother and sister. But she cannot even correctly identify my birth name, which is Mary Linda (Melinda) Pillsbury, Santa Monica, California Birth Certificate. I published the certificate as a matter of routine documentation.

As you read through her comments, which I'm forced to inflict on you, patterns will emerge. Morgan talks in all caps, the better to disguise her very limited grasp on the English language and rules of grammar. She asserts but, like the Alex and Laura Montagu, never provides proof, merely promising it is 'coming soon.'

This strategy seems to be common among personality types which are highly psychopathic. Perhaps they took classes from Karl Rove?  

I gave birth to her on July 5, 1967 having left my husband, Richard Lee Barteaux, in January of that year. We were married September 7, 1966. Marriage Certificate

We were divorced in 1968. Although his parents were wealthy I received no support for our minor child. Richard never saw her, or wanted to see her.

Divorce Settlement

Divorce Decree

Richard was a psychopath. He died of chronic alcoholism on May 8th, 1993 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Death Certificate.

His two children from his second marriage have much in common with Morgan. Neither work, both exhibit highly psychopathic characteristics according to Jillkster Barteaux, who was married to Morgan's half brother, Richard Lee Barteaux, Jr. 

Now, having addressed that matter and providing some background, I will now take up another of her meandering postings which is a reaction to a post I wrote Tuesday, October 16, 2012. 

Below Morgan's 'commentary is denoted in RED.  
My responses are denoted with UPDATE - ; 
 ........... denotes the next section of commentary 

A Call from Laura - Who paid for the Ritz- Carleton? Craig (Incest Porn) Franklin?

…...........................
ORIGINAL POST:  Today Laura, the Duchess of Manchester, placed a phone call to the Duke's 13 year old daughter.  The girl informed Laura she did not want to talk to her.  The girl asked to talk to her father.  This resulted in a barrage of filthy language. 

MORGAN: FROM WHAT WE ARE TOLD THE RECORDED CONVERSATION IS THAT ALEX WAS TALKING WITH ASHLEY AND WAS COMING TO LAGUNA. MANY PEOPLE HEARD THE PHONE CALL.   THIS IS ALL MELINDA PILLSBURY FOSTERS (sic) INTRUSION INTO A LITTLE GIRLS LIFE, CPS IS VERY IN TOUCH WITH THE MANCHESTERS ALL WILL BE TOLD IN COURT SOON.

UPDATE - Oh!  Morgan had a gossip fest with Laura and Alex. The Montagus will not be visiting the children as both are now old enough to refuse contact and have done so. The CPS is well apprised of the Manchester's activities and will not be taking any action they suggest as the CPS, 'has their number.'
….............................ORIGINAL POST: Neither the Duke or his present wife has seen the girl since she was nine years old, in January, 2009.  Distraught, the girl called her mother, the former wife of Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester, at her work. 

MORGAN: WENDY HAS REFUSED VISITATION AND TOLD THE CHILDREN LIES CHILD ALIEANATION (sic) BY A DRUNK MOTHER WHO WAS COURT ORDERED BY A JUDGE BECAUSE HER CHILDREN DIDNT (sic) WANT TO SEE THERE (sic)  MOTHER WENDY BUFORD (Montagu) EVER.  MANY PEOPLE WROTE LETTERS TO THE JUDGE ABOUT WENDY BUFORDS (Montagu) DRUG ABUSE AND DRINKING THIS WILL BE IN THE BOOK.

UPDATE – Read the transcript - 2008 September 15 - Judgement for Reserved Issues - Montagu v Montagu, Case No. 06D010327, Honorable Judge Mark S. Millard, Presiding - Reporter's Transcript of Judge's Ruling 

No such letters appear in the court record.  These charges were leveled against Wendy by Alex.  No confirmation was found and they were dismissed.  Alex ignored the order of the court to pay for the procedures, which was mandated when the judge allowed them to take place.   See Transcript.  

Has it occurred to you, Morgan,  that publishing these unsupported comments from the Manchesters continues the conspiracy, providing further documentation of your cooperative relationship? 

And very, very soon we will be talking about your very special relationship with your step-daughter, Jackie.    

…................................ORIGINAL POST:  Although the Duke has never paid court-ordered support for his two children, according to Laura, they have enough money to spend time at the Ritz-Carleton, Laura's favorite hotel, and vacation on the island of Catalina, when they like.   

Informed of the call, Wendy, the former wife of Manchester, tried to calm her daughter.

MORGAN: DSS HAS THE REPORT SHE HAS NOT REPORT HER MONEY FROM THE DUKES TRUSTEES SINCE 2009. WENDY BUFORD (Montagu) WILL SOON BE IN PRISON IT IS A FELONY. WE HAVE REPORTED HER THE COURTS WILL SOON HAVE TO DEAL WITH WENDY BUFORDS (Montagu) LIES.  ALEX WILL GET HIS DAUGHTER BACK.

REALLY WHERE DID YOU HERE THAT STORY?  OH WENDY RIGHT?

UPDATE – Yes, and she has voice recordings to back up what she says. Alex Jr., who no longer receives a stipend from the Trust continues to live with his mother, who continues to support him. He refuses to have contact with Alex or Laura. As soon as the girl, now 13, ages out of monthly payments, Alex will drop the issue. 

Alex has amazing gall to continue publishing charges refuted in court records.  He also owes in the neighborhood of $100,000 ordered by the court.  Since the marriage was an intentional fraud other monies owed are yet to be calculated.  Only the fact you cannot squeeze blood out of a rock keeps Wendy from filing on these charges.  

….........................

ORIGINAL POST:  After they hung up, Laura called the girl back.  The girl remembered Laura saying, for publication,

MORGAN: WHO IS GOING TO READ ANYTHING YOU WRITE MOTHER (Morgan is not my daughter. She has been excised from my life) YOUR A LIER (sic) AND MENTALLY ILL.....OBVIOUSLY HARASSING YET MORE PEOPLE!

UPDATE – The Weasel Search Tape was made because even in 1999 you had no credibility, not with me and not with any of your siblings. My mistake was agreeing to help you. Is Craig (incest porn) Franklin, making your 'work' with the Manchesters worth your while? You never do anything unless you are paid. 

There are over 12,000 hits on the Duke and Doxie site now and we are averaging over one hundred a day, and growing.  This site is doing pretty well, too.   

…........................

ORIGINAL POST:  "She was acting like nothing had happened.  I asked if my father was in the room."   Immediately Laura handed the phone to him and he spoke to me."  I said, "Are you aware of how your wife has been talking to me?"  Dad said, "no, what?"  

MORGAN: THIS IS ALL A LIE ALL FOR PUBLICATION!!  ALL RECORDED.

UPDATE – So, what is stopping them from publishing the audio tapes? I have published several and more are going up as soon as I have time. Audio Recordings

I interviewed both Wendy and her daughter, recording their comments which were for publication.

…...............................

 ORIGINAL POST:  The call was disconnected immediately.  The call would probably not have been answered if Laura had been calling from the phone number which she is proud of having had for over 20 years.  But a call placed to that number afterward ascertained it had been disconnected, quite possibly because of non-payment of the bill.  The announcement said, "This is no longer a working number." 

MORGAN: MOTHER (Morgan has not called me mother for years) YOU HAVE LOST YOU MIND!!!!!!!!

UPDATE – Nope. Wised up. Considered the evidence of the past more than 40 years and realized what you are. I'm now doing what is logical and right.

….........................ORIGINAL POST:  Laura might be worried about Alex's pre-trial hearing for passing a bad check.  Or they could be feeling  the pinch because the Manchester Trust recently cut their monthly stipend.

FROM THE LAW SUIT HE IS SUEING THE COMPANY AS WE ARE TOLD?  WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!  OH SO YOU SPEAK TO THE MANCHESTER TRUSTEES NOW??? THEY TELL YOU EVERYTHING?   THANK YOU!

UPDATE: Alex told us the same lies. Again and again, Morgan attempts to use as 'evidence' unsupported statements from the Manchesters. After a while it is both boring and pathetic. 

I have never communicated with the Manchester Trustees.  But Alex and Laura sent me copious emails, which I read only after I stopped talking to them.  It was a revelation, shall we say.   

…...........................ORIGINAL POST:  The girl wants no further contact with her father or his wife.

MORGAN:  MOTHER (Morgan is not my daughter) YOUR CHILDREN WANT NO CONTACT WITH YOU EVER AGAIN AS YOU CAN SEE THANK GOD MY CHILDREN WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU EVER! AND THE REST OF YOUR 4 CHILDREN NEVER SPEAK TO YOU! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!  MOMMY DEARST!

UPDATE: Morgan did everything in her power to destroy my relationships with my normal children. It was a carefully planned, intentional, campaign to isolate me so she could then steal everything I have. She did the same with all members of the family.  This is why Father stopped supporting her as soon as my mother died.  He realized she was only a taker and highly manipulative.  He did not trust her.  I wish I had listened to him on this. This appears to have been orchestrated with Craig (incest porn) Franklin and then the Manchesters. This fits the legal definition of conspiracy nicely. 

You are not permitted to call me 'Mother.' You are not related to me in any way, now or ever. 

…........................................ 
ORIGINAL POST: "Wendy and her daughter are worried Alex and Laura are trying to abduct the girl so they can try to get control of the stipend paid for her support by the Trusts. Wendy said, "everyone knows they only want her for her allowance.  I've stopped their ability to contact her on the advice of CPS." 

The girl concluded.  "There has been no birthday card, no Christmas card, nothing but lies and abuse, over and over again, for years.  Their voice mail messages are disgusting.  No, I don't want to see them.  I'm finished."

MORGAN:  CPS HAS TALKED WITH THE MANCHESTERS TO GET THE DAUGHTER AWAY FROM WENDY BUFORDS (Montagu) UGLY HATEFUL ABUSE AND CHILD ENDANGERMENT AND STEALING THE CHILDRENS (sic) MONEY. WENDY HAS BLOWN ALL THE MONEY THE TRUSTEES GAVE TO HER FOR THE CHILDREN THE MONEY WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN A TRUST ACCOUNT BUT WENDY BUFORD (sic – Wendy's legal surname is Montagu) TOOK ALL HER CHILDRENS (sic)  MONEY.

MANY GIFTS HAVE BEEN SAVED FOR THE MANCHESTERS CHILDREN. OVER THE YEARS A AMERICAN GIRL DOLL WENDY BUFORD (Montagu) WAS SO OUT RAGED THAT THE MANCHESTERS BAUGHT (sic) THERE(sic) DAUGHTER THAT AMERICAN GIRL DOLL SHE WANTED WITH ALL THE CLOTHES AND A PAJAMAS TO MATH WENDY BUFORD WENT CRAZY ALL RECORDED MESSAGES!  ALL FOR PUBLICATION!  

UPDATE: Morgan attempted to persuade me to send Arthur, my eldest son, for whom I have cared 24/7 for 14 years to 'visit' her. This happened within weeks of the time she discovered I have finally gotten him on disability so he was receiving a monthly stipend. It is only about the money for all of them. Arthur was adamant in his refusal to see or talk to Morgan or Jay.  

There is a convenient service which is called the US Postal Service. Cards and even packages are routinely sent in this fashion. The Manchesters don't send gifts or cards because this will not put money in their pockets.

Wendy used the support money, which was provided because Alex never paid the support ordered by the court,  to feed, clothe, and keep a roof over the heads of her children. No easy task for a single woman working at a job which is not particularly well paid. The money was spent for exactly the purposes it was intended.

The last part of the comment above is so inarticulate as to be impossible to understand. This is to be expected of Morgan. She did, after all, harass me into writing letters to Eugene Volokh for her. Morgan viewed me as a resource, useful to do for her what she could not do for herself.    The Barney letter, explained below, I wrote at about the same time.

Morgan had met Eugene, a professor of law at UCLA and very wealthy, at a conference I put on in Santa Barbara in October of 1995. She honed in on him like a hyena going after a wounded fawn. She made up to his brother, Alexander (Sasha)  to get access then started working on Eugene. 

Unfortunately for her, Eugene cared more about brains than looks. So she called me up and demanded I write letters for her to him which sounded intelligent, since she could not do this herself. She said that, otherwise, she might never be able to find someone to marry. I resisted even this, for a few hours. But Morgan wore me down. I loaned her part of my library so she could look literate and wrote the emails.

Later, I wrote this letter. Eugene required all his law students learn to shoot. He also hated Barney the Dinosaur. While Morgan and I were walking through a used store one day she saw a Barney doll in the stuffed animal bin and grabbed it, saying she would give it to Eugene so he could shoot it. I said, “How about if I write Barney a letter to Eugene for the occasion?”

Here is the letter. Barney Letter

Until Eugene dumped her, Barney continued to sit on his bed. I don't know what happened after that.

ORIGINAL POST:   In response to our recent query, no, the background in this photo is not the apartment of John Fund.  While the Montagus live in squalor (nod to the book written by Marcus Scriven, Splendor and Squalor - The Disgrace and Disintegration of Three Aristocratic Dynasties), not even they have ever subsisted in an apartment filled to the ankles with a morass of papers and garbage and forgotten they possessed a rug.  Also, the Montagus have two cats who would certainly have made sure their bed was not littered with rat feces, which was the case with Fund's apartment in 2001.   Also, since the Montagu's are evicted so often there is not time for the refuse to build up to any appreciable degree.  Additionally, the Manchesters  don't read and are barely literate.  Therefore they don't bring home magazines, papers, and printouts from work (having no jobs), which is the case with John Fund.  John, as you probably know, is no longer with the WSJ having moved on the American Spectator.

MOTHER:  MOTHER YOU LIVE IN SQUALOR AND HAVE NO HOME NO CABIN, NO MONEY, HOW DO YOU KNOW THE MANCHESTERS GET EVICTED ANYWAY HOW STRANGE.....HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY READ OR DO NOT READ....... 

UPDATE – Wendy produced records for 13 evictions while she was married to Alex. Since that time she has lived in the same place, as she had before they met. While Laura was living with Wendy, 2008, October through December, she told Wendy similar stories of serial evictions because Alex did not pay the rent. People generally continue the same patterns. I found out local policy for land lords from a friend who owns units there and extrapolated. This is an interesting contrast to Fund's living conditions.

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm up to date on the cabin, and am comfortable, as is Arthur, and the place is tidy and clean. My income is sufficient to my needs and shows promises of increasing nicely.

I have my ways of knowing.
