Big Tech & You & Me

19/3/2021

69 Comments

 
Over the years there is much Russell Brand has said that I disagree with however over the last year or so I have noticed a difference. He is clearly now very aware of the plight humanity is in.

Throughout the last century & down to today division and hatred has grown exponentially. If you read history books regarding the nineteenth century particularly regarding Europe and the USA, societal norms were in the main a world apart from today. Of course there was much wrong back then and progress in health, social standing and education has been phenomenal. I am talking more about basic human interaction and how that has declined at an alarming speed.

Behind that is in part, the ever easier ways that we can communicate our bias, emotion and and sense of belonging to one particular tribe. Add to that the media manipulation of thinking and believing at first through News Papers and then on to Radio and TV broadcasting and it became ever easier to divide opinion and create entrenched ideas and ideals. The whole left versus right political thinking takes us into even darker areas, take Fascism and Communism for example where over a hundred million were murdered in Germany, the old Soviet Union, China and Cambodia for example. Both are at the extremes of the left versus right ideology, however even in the center agreement and compromise are becoming ever rarer. 

So back to Russell and the video below about 'Big Tech' and the alarming power these now hold along with their own left versus right biases. This is a thought provoking piece and if we can just ween Mr Brand off of his own little biases he could build an even larger audience and perish the thought, even bring the great unwashed closer together.

He was born of fame by the masses making fun of individuals via mass media. Unfortunately most people don't take responsibility for their own individual lives and so we get wars of killing by individuals grouped together as armies. No individual is ever responsible for all this, it is the masses, so we get gas chambers and atomic bombs and yes, pandemics. On a local scale if the anoraks really cared about Caroline there would be a raging discussion about the facts revealed so far on the CB Blog, but there is only the repetitious drone of individuals as part of the masses feeding the masses with nonsense. Biden can't even walk up the stairs without falling down, and the masses are gathering at the Mexico-USA border. The masses were warned that this would happen but the masses only respond to what the mass media tells them to do. Russel owes his fame and income to the mass media, so he is part of the problem - his jokes are not original, they are clones of mass media mockery. The beat goes on ....

Reality is the tech companies control this Marsh Industry of stupidity

And those in power control the enfeebled

Have you been reading this thread over on the Joke Board? Start with this one: https://mb.boardhost.com/FreeRadioForum/msg/1616235469.html and just follow PM/MS other comments.

Clearly Ronan O'Rahilly was a joke - he had no money and this thing called Radio Caroline was also a joke for silly geezers sitting in a dilapidated tub playing records and any rubbish about religion that they could play for money.

There was business, there was no plan, there was political purpose.

It was just a daft enterprise for geezers who were goners on weed or something similar.

Read the confessions of PM/MS and see why he has no time for that stuff and is trying to build his OWN BUSINESS and get the clowns to help pay for HIS business - not theirs.

Because the CB Board is for questions about the CB topic, not radio, and the anoraks don't discuss anything but nonsense which is how they come over here from the GS and Joke Board and still don't discuss either radio or Mike's topics.

Read the Joke Board - Malcolm Smith (Peter Moore) is stating that the Radio Caroline operation was an outfit run by small time crooks and he is being supported in this by other posters. Isn't that the entire point being made that the 1964-1967 Radio Caroline was wound up and not in any way connected to the kids stealing money who then followed using that name?

Mike, I found your reference on the 'GS Board' which refers to 'the other board' under the 'Atlantis' heading. Over on what GS calls the 'Joke Board' there isn't a thread about 'Atlantis' that is current and the long and current thread that is there - is a jumbled mess of out-of-sequence dated comments that someone else is also complaining about.

So has the initial comment (whatever it was), been removed?

On a separate but related theme, of all the comments that are made about the CB documentation, none are about substance. No one disputes the facts in evidence - they ignore them, and go on to make more silly troll comments.

I am working on a big Arnold Swanson feature (GBLN/GBOK) and it seems that from the word 'go' Metropolitan Police at Scotland Yard were warning that this was the work of a con man.

No surprise there, because in 1960 the Canadian press had BIG features about him warning that he was now out to con Buckingham Palace after buying Notley Abbey. By 1966 he had left the UK and performed more cons in the USA and Canada, had sex with two underage girls, been sued by his wife to get her money back and a divorce and her ex-husband was suing her because she had absconded to the UK with their kids. Swanson was in jail and because his wife had cut off his money supply, he had no money for bail!

Meanwhile the UK press and the daft and dopey anoraks - unlike the police (!) - has swallowed this GBOK nonsense wholesale.

As far as I can make out John Thompson of the 'Voice of Slough Ltd' was genuine and he later cropped up on Radio Invicta where he then complained to the UK Government that Allbuery's 390 had stolen his station!

The UK Crown laughed. So did Scotland Yard.

The fools, the mugs, were the daft and dopey anoraks who believed all of Swanson's nonsense. Thompson had no money and Swanson only had his wife's money and she was rolling in it from inheritance.

This is why when we look at the O'Rahilly story we see Swanson. O'Rahilly had no money and Ian Ross made up a story late in 1990 which everyone now thinks dates back to 1964.

Rusling stole our stuff, couldn't understand it and twisted it to support more rubbish of his own. Now Rusling has gone silent.

The only person admitting that O'Rahilly was a con man is Malcolm Smith (Peter Moore), but the dopey insane anoraks are not paying attention to what he is writing on the Joke Board. He is basically admitting that O'Rahilly did nothing for anyone and that the new Caroline ventures involving licenses and even custody of the Ross Revenge, are his property and his alone.

No doubt this email will trigger more personal attacks, but have any one of these loony-tune anoraks got the balls to answer these facts in evidence?

Even that obtuse post you referred to is weird because it is about a make believe radio station of people on a boat which does not exist who are competing with Malcolm's toys.

Freddie is being serious and having a conversation with Malcolm Smith (Peter Moore) about the Ross Revenge. This is over on the 'Joke Board' alternative to the GS Nutty Board. Posted by Freddie Archer on 24/3/2021, 16:07:50, in reply to "Re: 19th March 1980"

Anyway, lots of quoting going on but this is only adding to the misinformation since if Freddie wanted to really know about the history of the Ross Revenge then he should read the HUGE file at the Philadelphia National Archive repository called the 'Radio Caroline CRIMINAL CASE'. That is not its formal title but that is what it is and yes, Ronan O'Rahilly stayed away even though he was part of this FRAUD. So if you really, really, really want to know THAT PART of the 'Radio Caroline' story, wait until the pandemic is over and fly to the USA.

By the way OEM has many of the details of this case!

I have lots of digital photos of the Ross Revenge so as far as I am concerned I own it

It was sold as a non-fungible token (NFT), a unique digital certificate that states who owns a photo, video or other form of online media.

NFTs have become hugely popular this year, with expensive digital artwork also being sold this way.

"I believe it's an emerging market and it's just the beginning. All forms of digital arts and creations such as music, photos, videos, tweets and blog posts can be traded in the form of an NFT," Mr Estavi, a 29-year-old Malaysian national told the BBC.

He added that his investors and colleagues "are really appreciative and happy about this investment because they know the value and future price of this particular NFT and the impact it made on social media."

Malcolm Smith who is passing himself of as Peter Moore - on government documents no less, and who claims links between his tinpot toy and the original Radio Caroline, has just posted this on the 'Joke Board':

Posted by Peter Moore on 1/4/2021, 8:48:18
Morning,

This is an open letter to Neil Gates who has just posted a message at the other place. First, here is the message verbatim.

'It's not Caroline. It is a product of intellectual property theft. I don't give a flying what this stations plays, it can play Freebird and Stairway To Heaven backwards 24/7 on a continuous tape loop for all I care. What I object to is the fraudulent passing off as something that it is not and I will continue to do so as long as the deception persists '

End of quote.

So then Neil it is well known that you dislike me and all that Caroline has done in 30 years. This is an opinion you are entitled to and for sure you have stated it over and over. But the above contains direct accusations in law, namely 'deception '. 'fraudulent passing off ' and ' intellectual property theft '.

Now, to encourage you, my own lawyer told me a few years ago ' the truth is an absolute defence '. So either state your truth(s) or retract the above comments here and at the other place and anywhere else you may have posted them.

Peter Moore.

Clearly the anoraks are a tiny bunch of people who populate two forums on the Internet. Of their number some are clearly insane and constantly post absurd nonsense wherever and whenever they can.

Feeding off this tribe are two other groups who publish stuff in books and Online to further gossip and nostalgia, and one man who owns an old fishing ship, now a hulk and a couple of tiny radio stations licensed in the UK.

For a long time I tried to create a symposium by inviting all interested parties to contribute, and I shared our research. That resulted in theft by hack writers who churned out more rubbish.

So in view of the total lack of anything in the way of academically sensible remarks coming from that crowd, I have decided to ignore them and block further comments from them on any of the Internet sites I am involved with.

Simply put: enough is enough. These loons are now an irritation from the past. It seems as though as much a Mike tries to get serious conversations going on his site, it is undermined by these insane idiots. I am interested in what Mike finds and thinks about various issues, but the rest are now blotted out from my own spheres of interest.

Javier Leveitout Martin, who hosts Pretend free Radio, a podcast that interviews "real people pretending to be someone else", has a similar view to every other nutter

"Everybody thinks that it won't happen to them, but the people who think they can't get fooled are the ones that do."

He has interviewed more than 10 con artists, and says the challenge for victims is that "you want to believe them - they're very likeable".

"I've never met one who's an introvert... they're very warm and friendly," he says, although he adds that he's also found they are "narcissistic and very proud of their crimes".

He likens the interest in con artists to the desire to see a magician's trick. Or a radio ship off the Essex coast

"Just like with a magician, we want to be fooled - we want to get really close to it, just to see what happens - but we don't want to become the victim."

I am all over the Internet.

I have multiple URL's all pointing at the same sites.

I write two blogs but pretend to be several different individuals.

I am too stupid to disguise my writing style.

I am afraid of getting found out, so I write anonymously on my 'mystery' blog. I like coffee but not Kenco.

Kenya hear me, mother?

OMG I have read it all now. Freddie has been in the idiot stalagmite surgery and passed wind on the general appearance and body mass index of Mr must eat Moore when 20 years ago he was last seen in public in suspended animation in Cromer. Norfolk. There's nowt as queer as folk but if anyone want to buy me a good meal then leave something in the donation box of my head bin

The anoraks and scammers have a lot to say until they are called to account, and then silence descends in response to our challenge.

Say what you like about Mervyn. You have got to admit the silence is overwhelmingly deafening. Fair play to him for enquiring about the unpalatable bananas of the so called truth!

Why am I being ignored?

I issued my challenge.

Nothing happened.

I did it again, but in BIG writing.

And I used my red crayons.

Nothing happened.

It's not like I want your information from you to put in my book or anything.

Maybe I'll hire a pet detective.

The Moore the merrier.

Have a Trio. It has toffee in it and sticks in your throat. Unlike Penguins.

There is no facility to respond to the allaboutradiocaroline blog, so I will comment here.

The writer has taken Ross' obvious exaggeration regarding speed literally, and cites the nature of the roads around Greenore.

What the writer has failed to grasp is that at the time there was only one production car capable of reaching 150mph, namely the Iso Rivolta Grifo A3/L 327. Ross did not have such a vehicle.

Double line spacing to copy me is not double decking anyone who knows me

My position on the sheet is quite all white

Apart from my lying a lot on it and stating the obvious. That the Malcolm Mattress has bust it's springs.You are quite right with your questioning the supplier

The facts of the matter is the water bed has sprung a leak but no one can trace it's source

Until the ceiling caves in and the neighbours complain. No one is going to care about it either

New mattresses are the proverbial ten a penny. They are only uncomfortable if one is lying on them and still seeking comfort and profit spitting out feathers

Best to have a new build house rather than deconstruct the grand design of the old ruin. Don't you think?

Of course you think. You don't need to demonetarise my sentences

You know they bring you a hill of beans profit
