Lincoln Background

Charles Edward Lincoln, III, was born May 10, 1960 to Alice Eugenie née Meyer and Charles Edward II in East Texas.

The marriage broke down within the first few years and due to the inattention of his mother, who had taken little Charles with her to London when he was six months of age, to the duties of raising a child.

Highly educated, Alice Eugenie, preferred intellectual pursuits.

Charles, then six, was transferred to the guardianship of his maternal grandparents, Helen Eugenie and Alphonse Bernhard Meyer, discovering their grandson had been left in London with a nanny as their daughter traveled, flew to London, accompanied by the family butler, Kermit, and retrieved him.

Charles' grandparents were wealthy and lived in Highland Park, Dallas Texas, not far from the Dallas Country Club. Charles attended John S. Armstrong Elementary School and was a choirboy at an Episcopal Church, the Church of the Incarnation in Dallas.

When the Armstrong School proves to be unsatisfactory to Charles his Aunt Mildred, who worked there, suggested he try St. Mark's School. This also failed to be just what Charles needed.

From CEL3 site: “my grandparents' parties, in their "main hall" (the functional equivalent of what other folks might call the "living room" except with Cathedral Ceilings, Stain Glass Windows, Chinese porcelains, a grand piano in an alcove to the side, and a 30 foot fireplace made of very unusual blue-veined stone.  

My grandmother said the chimey-stones were a special copper oxide rock from Brazil.  The stain glass windows were made in and imported from Czechoslovakia before Anschluss in the 1930s.  The Chinese porcelains, bronzes, and paintings were 16th-19th century, "nothing really old by Chinese standards" as my Aunt Mildred used to say.  We had some cousins who were missionaries in China and others who ran a newspaper/magazine in Shang-Hai before the War---they knew the real "Captain John Birch" after whom the Society was named and everybody was very proud of that).  

Kermit mixed drinks (and taught me how to mix them starting at age 7 since I was happier hanging out with him than in the parties where everyone admired me and complemented my grandparents about "what a little gentleman" I was.  The sweet and gentle Ella May, the stronger and tougher Billie, and everybody's boss Binnie (until she died at 98) prepared the dinners and served the hors d'oeuvres. 

Alphonse Meyer was a defense contractor.

A highly intelligent child who was also disinclined to the discipline and routine of school, his grandparents allowed Charles to finish high school in Los Angeles, beginning in 1971, at the less structured Hollywood Professional School.

Charles finished high school in 1974 and his grandparents deemed him too young to start college until he was fifteen. Therefore, he spent the balance of 1974 – 1975 traveling with his grandfather as they visited places where Alphonse was doing business. These places included Alaska where Alphonse was involved with construction on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.

In 1975 Charles began college at Tulane University in New Orleans.

Charles joined Young Republicans in 1976 and attended his first Republican National Convention that same year in Kansas City, Missouri.

By 1977 Charles had dropped his membership in the YR and was focused on archaeological studies for Puerco River & Salmon Ruins. He spent a year in Honduras from 1977 – 1978, turning 18 while resident there.

On February 18, 1980 Alphonse Meyer, Charles' grandfather died. Charles graduated from Tulane on May 11th , a Phi Beta Kappa, Magna cum Laude, and soloist at the ceremony of graduation.

Accepted at Harvard, he began work there for an advanced degree in Anthropology and History in September. Charles received his Master's Degree in June, 1982 and participated in the Chichen Itza Project: 1982 – 1987, sponsored by the National Geographic Society, Harvard Peabody and Bowditch funds,  James A. Michener, Zemurray Foundation of New Orleans, and his grandmother.

It was in Merida, Yucatan in 1985 Charles that met Elena, who he would marry in Athens in 1990. Elena was in Yucatan doing research for her Master's Thesis on the Xkichmul Project.

Today Elena Lincoln is better known as the character in Fifty Shades of Grey,” for which her life served as the model.

Charles changed careers and returned to school to study law at the University of Chicago, School of Law in September of 1987, interrupting study there to take a Reinhardt Externship from 1987 through 1988 and finishing his Ph.D. In Anthropology and History through Harvard in 1990.

During this time he was studying at the University of Bonn, 1989 – 1990.

Lincoln returned to Chicago to finish his degree in law in September, 1990 and while there
was elected President of Environ-mental Law Society: 1990-1991, Chairing a Year Long Colloquium on Oil Spills.

Lincoln received his J.D. From Chicago School of Law in 1993 with Judge Diane P. Wood, Law School as his Advisor.

With his wife he then relocated to Florida and passed the Florida Bar in July. Their son, Charles Edward Lincoln, IV, was born on August 23, during Hurricane Andrew in Palm Beach. The same year, 1992 and continuing to 1994, Lincoln did a Judicial Clerkship under Kenneth L. Ryskamp, U.S.D.C. Southern District of Florida.

From there, Lincoln and family moved to New York City to work for Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. There, he wrote a 500 page Memorandum against Securitization of Mortgage & Taft Notes. Soon afterward, and immediately following an extended debate  C.W.T. Senior Partners, with Lincoln's association with the firm was terminated. with.

Last year an article by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster, titled, The Foreclosure Meltdown Was Planned – A Whistle Blower Speaks Out, was written which included more details on what on Lincoln's time at CWT.

In 1994 he passed the California Bar, the Bar for Texas, moving to Lago Vista, Texas and beginning a practice in law.

In 1995 Charles and Elena separated. Their son, Charles IV, had just turned three.

It is during the period of his law practice that Lincoln's unusual behavior begins to impact him in multiple ways, several of these related to his marital problems.

During his practice in Texas Lincoln filed a civil rights complaint in 1996, then moving to Galveston that same year. Here, he filed a series of seven civil rights complaints and was banned from Federal Court in Austin in 1998.

Moving to New Orleans in 1998, the Fifth Circuit Reversed in his clients' favor in
Atwater v. Lago Vista: 1999 in New Orleans.

On December 7, 1999, Lincoln was indicted in Austin. On New Year's Day in New Orleans he accepted a Plea Bargain, resigning from the State Bar in August of the same year.

Returning to Harvard September and October of 2000 he began planning an archaeological project in Sinai, Egypt in Wadi al Arish. To advance this he traveled to Cairo on October 15, 2000 (October 15) to plan an archaeological project.

There, he met with Chairman of Supreme Council on Antiquities---Zahi Hawass but on November 30th was mugged at the Marriot Hotel while walking in the gardens there. This resulted in a head injury, requiring surgery which took place at the Anglo-American Hospital  in Cairo. He remained in the hospital there until December 16.

Released, he traveled to London for Christmas and returned home to Dallas on January 4th to convalesce, remaining there until May. During this time Douglas Bradley Vogt, Sponsor of Sinai Project, refused to extend or Renew his Project, Predicting War in the Middle East  and an attack on American in 2001.

On May 23, 2001, Charles' mother, Alice Eugenie Lincoln, had him removed from the place which had always been his home, his grandparents house in Highland Park. He was briefly incarcerated and so was not there when his grandmother, Helen Eugenie Meyer, died at age 101 on May 26, 2001.

As told by Lincoln, this happened because Helen Eugenie and Alphonse, his grandparents, having raised him, choose to name is as an heir with equal standing with their daughter, Alice Eugenie. A sharing of these assets would have still left Alice a wealthy woman, but by destroying the unprobated will she could come away with all the assets. 

This, Lincoln asserts, is exactly what she did with the aid and assistance of highly connected individuals who had their own reasons for wanting Charles silenced. Soon afterward Charles' life took several turns which radically changed what was possible for him.

He and his estranged wife, Elena were briefly reunited, this lasting from June 2001 to July 2002. This reunion ended when Elena threatened to kill their son. Charles received sole physical custody of the boy in August 2002.

For the purposes of this site we present some theories which have been suggested to explain the changes in life direction which are exhibited by Charles Lincoln.

Theories

CWT could have decided to go after Lincoln, realizing he was a threat to their ongoing scheme to bring on a meltdown of mortgages in America. The actions taken to enable this also included the installation of MERS, which violates the long standing previous practices for recording title to land.

The brain injury suffered by Lincoln could have been the cause of the change in his behavior or contributed to these changes.

Elena Lincoln looks like this
Lincoln, himself, believes, as do others, that his wife, Elena, married him for his money, which substantial and which he expected to be augmented by the promised inheritance from his grandparents. Her behavior during the marriage includes the incidents which were noted in Fifty Shades of Gray.

Any work which generates enough interest to have its own Wiki must raise eyebrows, but sex is endlessly fascinating to people and this aspect of Elena's persona could not help but draw its own audience.  

Tryouts for the movie have drawn beautiful blond women with talent into competition for who will become the image of Elena on the screen.  It could be the predatory and promising look in her eyes - or it could be the pheromones generated when she walks into the room.  But whatever it is, she has it.   

Marriage to Elena could also have changed Charles' sexual predilections in ways a lower income could not well support.

Charles Lincoln
Elena left Charles for another man, who certainly possessed the power to cause Charles problems through his connections.

These could have represented severe blows to Lincoln's self image from which he continues to react.  

The theories above could explain what happened in the life of Charles Lincoln and why his outside the law legal practices caused so many problems for people who trusted him.

In a very short period of time his financial resources imploded while at the same time his life style and expectations remained.

The balance of the story will be told using links to existing sites, and narrative where there are gaps in the story, to provide the reader with insights into Lincoln's activities to present day.
