Dr. Gates on Finding Your Roots claimed to do a DNA test on Oprah, finding she had no European blood at all. If you believe that, you need to quit sleeping next to the SmartMeter, because your brain is fried. We have caught Gates lying before (see my comments on Meryl Streep), and we will find the same thing here. BTW, remember that Gates is probably related to Bill, though I am sure he has a fake DNA test that says he is pure African back to the flood.
Geni.com scrubs Oprah's father, listing him as private, so we see the amount of misdirection going on immediately. But Tim Dowling at Geneanet gives us enough to go on. Although he was also instructed to scrub the most obvious names, he has left enough up for someone like me to build an airtight case.
Oprah's four grandparents are Lee, Presley, Winfrey, and Woods. So already we have three red flags. Presley may link her to Elvis, since her Presleys are from Mississippi. Woods may link her to Tiger Woods. And Lee probably links her to Robert E. Lee. Right now you will think I am jumping to conclusions, but you won't in a moment.
That is because Oprah is also related to Shawver, Monk, Winters, Dorris, Liston, (Judith) Cole, Coleman, Staples, Baskin, Clark, Hearon, Gary, Cryer, McKelpin, Brazier, Linzie (fudge of Linsey/Lindsay), Ferguson, Duncan, Tomlin, Howerton, Martin, Chickadonz, Butterfield, Ross, and Bullock. We find all those surnames at Geneanet in her genealogy.
Although a search on it pulls up nothing, it is admitted at Geneanet that Oprah is related to famous boxer Charles L. (Sonny) Liston. They are cousins, once or twice removed. I wonder why they don't admit it in the mainstream? Perhaps because Liston was also involved in prominent hoaxes. He is known for taking a dive twice for a young Cassius Clay, giving Muhammad Ali his start in professional boxing. Why? I assume because Clay was prettier and from a more prominent family: he was guaranteed to bring in more box office money. Clay was also related to all these people, descending from the famous Clays like Henry Clay. So Sonny Liston was just instructed to move aside for a cousin
We can already see that through the name Dorris, Oprah may be related to Sharon Tate. Through the name Linsey/Lindsay she may be related to MLK. Through the name Winters she may be related to Shelley Winters. Through the name Staples, she may be related to Clive Staples (C. S.) Lewis. Through the name Clark she may be related to all the Presidents, but most closely Lincoln. The names Ross, Green, Bullock, and Monk are probably Jewish. Judith Cole is probably Jewish. That list of names is not what you would expect from a common black person in the US. Neither are the first names in Oprah's genealogy. One glance at her ancestry puts the lie to her common bio.
You will tell me we get to some of these names through her 2g-aunt Cornelia Winfrey, which is true. The Monks, Listons, and Dorrises aren't in Oprah's direct line. But the Staples are. And you should find it very curious that Cornelia Winfrey's genealogy is very full, while her brother Sanford Winfrey— from the same family—is completely scrubbed. This indicates a lot being hidden on purpose. Ella Staples is also strange, since her mother is a Winfrey and she married a Winfrey. So she must have married a first cousin. Either that or the genealogy is fudged at this point.
If we switch to Ancestry.com, we find that Ella Staples' father is William Staples, 1822-1928, born in Georgia. So he died at 106? However, Genealogy.com says this William Staples was born in Alabama in 1836. Both Ancestry and Genealogy tell us his wife was Abbey, but a different page at Ancestry says she was Abigail W., which we know from Geneanet stands for Winfrey. She was Abigail Winfrey. In fact, we know her middle name as well, since that page at Ancestry has pictures of her with her husband. She was Abigail Howard Winfrey.
I screen-captured that for you, since that is the smoking gun. Notice especially the third photo, which is tagged William and Abbey. Although William Staples may be black or part black, Abbey Winfrey is clearly white. They are both dressed very well for the time. This would have been about 1880 in Mississippi, so something doesn't add up. Shouldn't he have been lynched for marrying a white woman? According to the film Mississippi Burning, they were still lyching black men just for looking at white women in the 1960s. But this alleged ex-slave William Staples looks quite prosperous to me, so the history we are sold appears to be false. Even in 1880, blacks were marrying white women with no problem. Which is fine with me. I am glad to know it.
But what it also means is that because Abigail Winfrey was white, Ella Staples' husband Sanford Elias Winfrey was probably white, too. He was Oprah's great-grandfather, which means Oprah is at least 1/8th white from him alone. But Ella Staples was also half-white, giving Oprah another 1/16 th. Making 3/16ths total. That's about 19%. Which proves Dr. Gates DNA test was a fraud.
The name Howard is also important, since it may link us to the peerage. Remember, the Howards are the Dukes of Norfolk. We may also link to the Herberts, Dukes of Pembroke, since there are Winfrees in the peerage related to the Herberts. The Winfreys in the US were originally Winfrees, and we find Winfrees in Virginia in the mid-1800s, about the same time Abigail Winfrey was alive. And yes, these US Winfrees are in the British peerage. This would also explain our link to the Staples here, since the Staples Baronets are related to the Lindsays, Earls of Balcarres. We saw both names in Orpah's ancestry. I have already linked them to both C. S. Lewis and Martin Luther King in previous papers. They are also related to the Hawkins Baronets, which links us to my recent papers on Stephen Hawking. Who woulda thought, eh? Through the Lindsays, we link to the Campbells, the Trotters (Brad Pitt), the Hamiltons, the Cavendishes (Dukes of Devonshire). . . basically everyone, including the Howards and Herberts. The Cavendishes link us immediately to the Howards in 1801, when the 6 th Earl Howard married the daughter of the 5th Duke Cavendish. Since the Earl's mother was a Leveson- Gower and the Duke's wife was a Spencer, we get them, too.
This indicates to me that William Staples was probably not fully black himself. I would guess his mother may have been black, but his father was probably a Staples from the families, perhaps a sugar plantation owner? Perhaps from Barbados? That is what we have found before, so it is the natural assumption. If he was half-white with a wealthy white father, it would explain why he was able to marry the white Abigail Winfrey, wouldn't it? But if he was half-white, then his daughter Ella Staples was ¾ white, giving Oprah another 3% and taking her to about 22% total. And that is just in the Winfrey line. It doesn't include the better scrubbed Lee, Woods, and Presley lines.
The name Staples probably links Oprah to Roebuck Staples and the Staples Singers, also from Mississippi. It is also worth looking up Waller Redd Staples, Virginia plantation owner. His family was prominent in the South at the time of our research here. They were closely related to the Virginia Lees, who we also saw in Oprah's genealogy, seeming to confirm my guesses. Waller's great-aunt married Gresham Lee. As it turns out, Roebuck Staples and his family were from Mississippi, but they claim to be descended from slaves that ran away from. . . the Staples' plantation in Patrick, Virginia. Which confirms that these black Staples got their name from the white Virginia Staples. I would guess that our William Staples is one of these, but I doubt he was a runaway slave. If he married a white woman in the 1870s, he was at worst a freed ex-slave, and at best the son of a slaveowner. Best guess is he was the son of one of these Staples of Virginia. And if that is the case, we do indeed link to the Staples Baronets of Ireland, since they were among the first settlers of Virginia. You know who else is on that list? The Gates. So you understand why Dr. Gates is running interference for a Winfrey. They are probably related as well. And if you check the Wikipedia page on settlement of Virginia, you find the third sentence is this:
Many colonists had connections to Barbados.
So I wasn't just boasting above. See Staple Grove plantation, which still exists on Barbados. It was founded in the 1600s by John Peers, but he named it for his wife, who was a Staples. It was originally Staples Grove, but they later dropped the “s” when it was sold to the Adams family. By the way, the Peers were related closely to the Boote family, which is variant spelling of Booth.
But let's back up and check that name Shawver. Turns out it is also Jewish. See Katrina Shawver at AzJewishLife.com. She is an author who has written about Auschwitz. Also Willis Shawver of the Washington Jewish Music Festival. Etc. Turns out the name is a variant of Shaver, Schaeffer.
The name Butterfield may link us to Alexander Butterfield, top aide to President Nixon who revealed the existence of the White House taping system, and later head of the FAA. His mother was Susan Armistead Alexander, granddaugther of Susan Gordon Armistead. This links them to the Gordons of Baltimore, which links them back to the Gordons in the peerage. All these families were and are East Coast bluebloods. We are told Butterfield installed the White House taping system at the request of Nixon, but we can be sure that isn't true—since it makes no sense. Nixon was bugged by the CIA, which indicates Butterfield was a CIA mole. He came out of the Air Force, being a colonel back to 1967, so he may have been promoted after that to general. Anyway, you can see why it is a strange name to have in Oprah's extended genealogy. Why would the lines of any of her aunts go back to DC Jewish royalty?
Also see the Butterfields of the peerage, related to the Shaws, Morgans, Tomlins, Kennedys, Johnstones, Pierreponts (Earls of Manvers), Sanders/Saunders, Freemans, Eyres, and Roosevelts.
So, is Oprah related to Elvis? Of course. A search on that pulls up Elvisinfonet.com first, where it is claimed they are not related. But since this comes from Elvis' relative Lorina Bolig, and since her argument is very weak, I suggest you ignore it. She misdirects by saying the question hinges on whether the Presleys had slaves, then tells you that since the Presleys didn't have slaves, they couldn't be related to Oprah. But that is totally beside the point, since it is based on the assumption Oprah's Presleys were slaves. They weren't. In fact, they couldn't have been slaves at the time we link to the Presleys, since it was very recent. Slavery ended in the 1860s, remember? Well, Oprah and Elvis are related only a few generations back, so any talk of slavery is just hooey. For instance, Geneanet scrubs the Presleys in Oprah's line at her great-grandfather Nelson Presley, who was born about 1872. So why is Bolig talking about slavery? But you may be interested to know that she does link Elvis to the top levels of the peerage in several lines. She also links him directly to Charlemagne, in a single line. He is the 34th grandson of Charlemagne. I guess she thinks old stuff like this doesn't need to be scrubbed for some reason. She also links Elvis to all the Presidents, although her research there is pushed. She admits Elvis is a cousin to all of them, but tells us he is something like a 17 th cousin, on average. He isn't. More like 4th to 8th cousin of most of them. She really fudges on the recent Presidents, telling us Elvis is like a 20th cousin. Not even close. He is actually more closely related to them the more recent they are. We already saw the names Kennedy and Roosevelt above, for instance. But his is what these fake hired genealogists do.
Elvis was born in Lee County, MS, which links us to the name Lee again. His father's name was Vernon Presley, and Oprah's father is named Vernon Winfrey. Both Oprah and Elvis are Lees
But we will get back to that because I just discovered something about Elvis. His stepmother was Davada Elliot Stanley, who Tim Dowling admits he is related to . Which can only mean these are the Stanleys, Earls of Derby. Tim Dowling is the second cousin of several kings of England, remember? And we have previously linked these Dowlings to Hitler. They are also related to the Stanleys and all the other top names of the peerage. Vernon Presley's sister Gladys married Robert Lee Dowling, linking us not only to the Dowlings but the Lees again. Not only that, but Gladys later married Hoyle Fleet Morgan. Does that name sound like the name of a dirt farmer, or does it sound like the name of a banker? Even better, we find with a bit more research that his name was actually Hoyle Fleetwood Morgan, linking him to the Fleetwoods and Morgans in the peerage, including Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac. What this tells me is that Elvis' bio has been fudged. They have inserted some pictures of poor farmers to make you think Elvis came from nowhere, but he actually came from the peerage like everyone else we have researched. There are Stanleys, Morgans, Fleetwoods, and Dowlings in the generation of Elvis' father!
Anyway, back to the name Vernon. It is interesting that we see the names Vernon, Lee, and Stanley here in close proximity. We also pull in the names Leveson-Gower, Kennedy, Lindsay, Russell, Howard, and Eyre in the brief research for this paper. This itself is telling, and you can see how by revisiting my paper on David Icke. There we see all these families closely related in the peerage, including the Vernon Baronets. Also the Leghs/Leighs/Lees, who were the British ancestors of Robert E. Lee. The Vernons and Leghs are in David Icke's wife's genealogy, closely tied by marriages in the peerage going back centuries. This tells us that the name Vernon in the lines of Oprah and Elvis is no accident, even though it appears as a first name.
At Wikitree there is a John Nelson Presley, b. 1871 in Cumberland, TN, who has an extensive genealogy, but whose wife and children are allegedly unknown. Since he lived until 1962, why would his children be unknown? Since he is the son of Russell Presley and Sarah Moles, we have more red flags and more indication this may be our Nelson Presley of Oprah's line. Why? Because Moles is probably a fudge of Molesworth, and I found them in the genealogy when researching Oprah. When I went back through the Staples Baronets, I found the Molesworths. In fact, the 11 th Baronet, b. 1848, was Sir John Molesworth Staples. His mother was a Molesworth, of the Viscounts Molesworth. The 1st Viscount's mother was Judith Bysse, linking her to Percy Bysshe Shelley. Also note her first name. The Molesworths were ancestors of Princess Diana, meaning Oprah and Elvis are both related to her as well.
But back to John Nelson Presley. The name Nelson also comes from the Moles line, so it probably links us to Admiral Horatio Nelson, Viscount and hero of Trafalgar (where he faked his death at age 47). These Presleys of Tennessee don't appear to be black, having names like Levi, Rebecca, and Elijah. They married the Brewers, Seals, Jacksons, Bolings, etc. There are pictures of some of them posted at Wikitree, and they aren't black.*
Did you catch it? The big clue in the last paragraph? Boling. They are related to the Seals, and therefore to the Presleys. That is in the line of John Nelson Presley, which I am claiming may be in Oprah's line. I think that is the same as Nelson Presley at Geneanet, listed in the ancestry of Oprah as her great-grandfather. John Nelson Presley was born in 1871 and Nelson Presley was born “about 1872”. Well, didn't we just see a Lorina Bolig above, claiming to be a professional genealogist and running interference on this question? And isn't she admitting she is related to Elvis? Boling and Bolig are different spellings of the same name, so Lorina Bolig is herself a link between Elvis and Oprah. Ironic, isn't it? Finally, we saw above that Oprah is related to the Fergusons. Well, the Fergusons are also related to the Presleys of Georgia. See James Lewis Presley, b. 1911, married to Achsah Brooks, daughter of Annie Lawson Ferguson. Achsah's sister married a Tomlin, which also links us to Oprah. Her other sister Velma also married a Presley. We also find Lewises, which link us to the Staples and therefore to Oprah. None of these people are black. This indicates that Oprah's Presley line is not black until the 20th century, confirming that we don't need to bring slavery into the question. Which also adds more white blood to Oprah's total. If her Presley grandmother was only half-black, that gives us another 1/8 to add to the white column, bringing Oprah's total up to 34%.
So, despite Google toplisting and featuring a blog that claims Oprah and Presley are not related, it turns out they are. In fact, both Oprah and Lisa Marie Presley have admitted it. That is from an OMG! video promoted by Yahoo. Even those sources that admit it try to tell us they were “distant” cousins. We have seen they weren't distant cousins, they were near cousins. Oprah's grandmother was a Presley, which is near. Due to scrubbing, I couldn't calculate an exact relationship, but it is something like 3 rd or 4th cousins once or twice removed, which is near. Distant would be above 10 th cousins. Oprah and
Elvis are distant cousins of Princess Diana, for instance, but near cousins to one another.
So why are Google and Dr. Gates runnning interference on these questions? Because they don't want you to realize that all famous people are closely related, and that they therefore advance based on blood ties rather than talent. You are supposed to believe that America is the land of the free, where the rich and famous work their way up from the gutter based on merit and the sweat of their brows. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are promoted because they are from the families, and for no other reason. Yes, a few of them are pretty or talented, but there is no connection between levels of talent and levels of promotion. As we saw first in the field of art, the least talented are usually promoted the most, and now that is also true in science, politics, and most other fields. This upside-down promotion is part of Project Chaos, by which your mind is broken. Nothing makes sense, so you stop asking questions.
Similar things can be discovered about Oprah's beard, I mean partner, Stedman Graham. Ethnicelebs sells him as African-American, but one look at him tells us he is mostly white. His mother is a Jacobs, which is a Jewish name, and there other (apparently unconnected) Jacobs a couple of generations back in his lines—see Edith Delphi Jacobs and Dunk Jacobs. So he may be Jewish. The name Graham may also be a hint, since of course they are dukes in the peerage, related to all the rest of these people. Stedman is also a Spaulding and a Worth and is related to Freeman, Rogers, Shaw, Armistead, Armstrong, Campbell, Taylor, Perkins, Carey, Clinton, (Samuel) Blanks, Webb, Kennedy, and Copland. Also many first first names like Israel, Solomon, Lemuel, Rhoda, Ruth etc. Finding this William Kennedy marrying an Alice Copland in Stedman Graham's genealogy is a huge clue, since it is pretty recent (after 1900). In fact, with more research we find she was Alice Copeland Kennedy, wife of William Jesse Kennedy, Jr., head of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance. She just died last year. According to their photos, they were indeed both part black, but the names tell us where they came from, and why they were so successful. Stedman Graham also has a Milton Freeman in his lines. Think of Milton Friedman. The name Blanks may link us to Vladimir Lenin. We saw many of those same surnames above in Oprah's lines, indicating Oprah and Stedman were paired as cousins—as we have seen so many times before.
If you think the “beard” comment above is way off, the mainstream pretty much admits it. Kitty Kelley's “tell all” biography of 2010 admits Oprah lied about her poor upbringing as part of her managed career. It also admits she is a lesbian, and that her relationship with Graham is staged and managed. They don't even share a bedroom. We are told she “turned tricks” as a young woman, but we must assume those were lesbian tricks, since there is no evidence she can tolerate men. We even know who Oprah's lover is: Gayle King. Note the last name, which probably links her to the same families. Oprah may (or may not) have millions of fans, but according to the bios, her own family can't stand her.
There is much more one could do on this question, but I think I have made my point and given other honest people a fresh start. For myself, I have spent about all the time I want to on it.
