Countdown Part Ten

22/12/2020

Have you figured out what is going on yet? Is January 06 2021 of any significance. That day, before that day or after that day? The countdown clock has not stopped, but what is the real countdown about?

You can bide your time all you like however reality has a nasty habit of biting you right up your own backside unannounced. Something much bigger is approaching, bigger than the BBC's sad losers could ever come up with. They are in a downward spiral to well deserved self inflicted destruction.

Hi all. The signpost reminds me of a tale my grandfather told. Being of gipsy ancestry. They would always stop and read the road signs. They knew where they were going anyway but realised they would be much maligned if they did did not conform to the stereotype of tinker

I am so proud of my gypsy ancestry and I feel so much for those drivers digging latrine holes in Kent

hi=Hi. At this time of year when I am slightly less insensible. It is also important to think not only about the cross border radio of the past but also the cross border trafficking of real people. People like you and me in search of a better life but paying to be in the back of a VERY COLD LORRY. THIS TRADE MUST STOP

From the Home Page

Is it a coincidence that the GPO issued a licence to Manx Radio shortly after Offshore radio began in the Thames estuary and was it another coincidence that Radio Caroline North anchored in Ramsey Bay that same year? Or did the GPO have a little more knowledge than we have been led to believe?

I thunk this either an experiment on a minority island or a warning of a furloughed low power allowance to IOM not to try and outdo Luxy

Oh my gosh, is that still being promised? Better check out http://yesternoir.org - it will give anoraks something to mutter about instead of just burping during Christmas, or celebrating 50 years too late the Queen's Christmas message on their Crown licensed and totally insignificant radio transmitter.

A Master Stroke Tempered With Realism

"Some people ' get it, such as Mike B and some do not, such as yourself. Of course it was a publicity stunt designed solely to increase awareness of the existence of Radio Caroline. The result has been a torrent of local, regional and national publicity at no cost and simply achieved by writing and sending a press release. The subject matter was all but irrelevant so long as it was novel and topical.
Now, as quickly as it began it will end. The media are looking for fresh content and the public have short memories, so soon we will have to dream something else up. But as of this morning a lot more people know that Caroline is broadcasting and how to listen than was the case 48 hours ago.
Doesn't matter how tenuous you feel that the link was. Coverage is all that matters.

PM."

Pre-Mens ....

26/12/2020 01:06:28 pm

Of course "we get it", and of course Mike B does as well. We all understand the ongoing need for the media to devour new material, but the public has had enough of this crap. Their chains have been jerked once too often.

First of all this is 2020 and no one gives a flying fig about your miniscule station that has no impact whatsoever on Brexit final details; the Virus and lockdowns, and world affairs. In fact, no one really cares what the old biddy thinks either, because this is not 1964.

Now there is a market out there for making sense of life - sans the panacea of religious mythology, which has nothing to with the how we and the universe came to be.

In fact, the current Radio Caroline has more in common with Rusling's fables aimed at suckers, than it does for students pondering the past, the present and the future of life on this Planet.

But then the Radio Caroline of today cannot exist without suckers forking over their money to keep you personally happy in your own pipe dreams.

Prattling on about oil, Dickens and heaven knows what else, today Merv defines 'boodling' this, without any hint of irony:

"The action or practice of offering, accepting, or spending money illegally or improperly, especially in connection with the obtaining or holding of public office; bribery and corruption in public life; misappropriation or embezzlement of public funds."

or, to put it more succinctly:

27/12/2020 01:48:34 pm

Obviously you can read words but not understand them. LBJ, the man who benefited from JFK getting killed, was elected by a swindle and like Biden, who also swindled voters, LBJ was not of the Party of Trump. But the fact is that ever since the 'birth' of David Copperfield', American votes have been for sale and the buyer is usually a Democrat. They start the wars and they swindle the public. In the UK no one has to do anything because the Crown stole the land and the assets centuries ago.

Biden My Time

28/12/2020 11:21:59 am

If you want to talk about swindling the public, look at Trump's recent fund raising activities. Look at Trump University. Look at your so called president who fiddles while Rome burns.

You would do well to remember that an alternative view to your own does not constitute a lack of understanding.

By the way, I did wish you a Merry Christmas via this board, but my greeting was not published for some reason. Mind you , I did mention your tendency to be grumpy, so maybe that's why.

Also, a quick reminder that 'Dial 999 for Caroline' was, as you say, promised for 2020. Yes, we have the disjointed blog, but you have failed to deliver once again. Too easily distracted by this nonsense, I would say.

Hi, serious question. On GS Is Lesley or Lesli e or Lesley "can't see my name in the box above" using a visual or other disability aid? She posts occasionally and at first I thought it was a wind up with Peter e who was a bit 1979 random

Now I am wondering if one or both particularity Leslie? are using these aids

If so what a marvellous achievement to be interested in radio and find the internet to get involved on a forum. Massive respect

Well now this is interesting.

Today the Joke Board started yet another thread about - ME.

But it seems that the clown who began it does not read the Caroline Brooks' Blog, because yesterday a full explanation regarding 'Dial 999 for Caroline' appeared there, and it is an update of its publishing schedule following the theft by Rusling and his plagiarized but twisted nonsense that was published prior to the pandemic that totally put everyone's life in a state of on again, off again confusion.

But the person who began this new thread on the Joke Board (which includes Malcolm Smith among its participating members), has posted an old message from a prior Forum that no longer exists (which is why I am writing this here.)

My comments are not unrelated to Mike's thread, because the Caroline Brooks' Blog is delving into the history of bought and paid for USA elections, one of which gave rise to the US Senate election of Lyndon Baines Johnson who became the primary beneficiary when JFK's head was blown apart in a busy Dallas street during 1963.

But then, so was Radio Caroline South, originally known as Radio Atlanta.

Its history aboard the mv Mi Amigo (who Paul Rusling thinks that he knows all about, but knows NOTHING at all), is also tied up with the events of November 22, 1963. (Follow the arrow link above.)

When the 'Dial 999 for Caroline' project began (see video), we published what we knew at that time, and that is when Paul Rusling decided to run off with our incomplete research and publish it as a 'bible' before the pandemic struck.

To give you an idea of the cheek of Rusling, he had the nerve to send us a religiously inspired personalized Christmas email this year (2020).

These anoraks like Rusling have no shame.

Even Malcolm Smith plays them for fools by taking their financial donations in support of his hulk and tiny radio venture.

So if you want to see how the Biden-Trump fiasco came to be, and if you want to learn about the true origins of Radio Caroline, I suggest you begin reading the Caroline Brooks' Blog!

Why anyone would want to attach their name to either Board is a mystery - but maybe not to the unhinged who are part of this collective tribe.

YesterStudies Publishing News is now accepting questions.

It is not a Forum for troll discussions.

There have been recent posts on both of the silly anorak Forums indicating that comments by people who post there can now post on the 'unlocked' Board. This is not true, and the flood of comments received so far by these trolls have all been rejected before publication

All posts must be in form of a question relating to the Blog.

All discussions are referred to this Conversation Forum moderated by Mike, who undoubtedly will sift through posts unrelated to his own topics and deal with them accordingly.

Please refer all silly comments to the Garry Stevens' Board, or its spin-off version, both of which are dominated and influenced by Rusling and Smith.

Something related

29/12/2020 12:58:04 pm

The beginning on this thread is now emerging in detail on the Caroline Brooks' Blog.

The anoraks can't read so they can't understand it and are complaining about it.

It takes intelligence.

Today thanks is given to Ida Tarbell. Do you know who she is and why she is someone that everyone concerned with the politics of broadcasting should know about?

No, she was not a broadcaster, but Ida Tarbell was one of the original investigative reporters who revealed that Trusts are monopolies opposed to free enterprise. Trusts are not capitalism in action. They are fascists in action.

Fascism is a financial system - not an ideological system like Nazism. Fascists are government married to business - big business - Trusts.

So much rubbish is being written by lunatic and uneducated anoraks - they should begin by learning who Ida Tarbell is.

FDR mimicked Mussolini for a time - until Pearl Harbor, and then FDR bombed Mussolini's fascist state.

People throw around terms like fascism and they don't know what they are talking about.

Meanwhile mini-con artists like Malcolm with dopes like Rusling supporting him, milk the stupid anoraks for really stupid projects while the BBC retains control of the airwaves with the blessings of the British Crown.

I guess the stupid get what they deserve when some find themselves in concentration camps or worse.

On a positive note it's time for everyone to learn about Ida Tarbell.

YESTERSTUDIES READERS QUESTIONS.

what is the point of opening the forum for readers questions when none are being published?
puzzled!

Caroline Brooks

2/1/2021 02:37:57 pm

Questions are about specific Blog content not for general questions answered in the Introduction and elsewhere. Some time ago we figured that 3 Forums were enough = two of them for really stupid comments and no content, and because Mike continually posts new content offering a different point of view, we directed all conversation to this location. When you, or another troll actually read and comprehend something and ask a question, your question will be published. In the meantime join the conversation here. By the way, there is a topic that you could be commenting upon.

Here's an interesting question in keeping with Mike's thread and his previous posted topics:

Unless a new reporter has never read a book about Italy after WWII, or a book about the CIA in Italy after WWII, and a bunch of related material about the USA fixing Italian elections, then how come the skills of CIA back then, have not been compared to the vote rigging in the USA in 2020?

Have the outward 'skills' of the CIA been turned inward so that the CIA is now working against the USA status quo?

If someone in the USA wanted to rig an election in the USA, logic says they would call CIA.

Csroline Brooks

4/1/2021 12:27:00 pm

Addendum: The use of the prefix "The" before CIA is a British trait, as in "The BBC" as opposed to referring to CNN or NBC. It smacks of subtle elitism and it so easy to fall into that trap.

In my previous post I meant to refer to that faction of CIA which was based for a time in the Sixties in South Miami and managed by Robert F Kennedy as 'Special Group (Augmented)' , or 'SGA'.

Prior to this a convoluted operation had been created to run Radio Free Europe which pretended to be a US charity supported by US individuals. It was not, it was a part of CIA and it was that part which interfered with Italian unions, political parties, news media and elections.

Therefore with all this skill at hand that was even used to fake the election of LBJ, the obvious answer is that clandestine operatives rigged selected votes in selected States during the 2020 election.

Isn't it amazing? Mike puts up new material for comment and the trolls ignore it. They can only regurgitate silly stuff from the past. No original thought, no analytical brain process, and then everyone wonders why the political landscape is in such a mess. The trolls need to find mirrors to study themselves in order to fathom the answer.

My Brain Hurts

6/1/2021 11:59:10 am

I know it's not supposed to be chronological or sequential, but 'Caroline Brooks' blog has become a collection of unconnected random brain farts. Unless these musings can be assembled into a proper published book there is little hope. I'd like to think that it will happen, but unless the help of someone without a butterfly mind is enlisted it's not going to happen as the publishing schedule is pushed back once again.

Caroline Brooks

7/1/2021 10:51:10 am

Your comment reveals inability to comprehend the obvious because it is now following a very definite timeline with sequential events. The timeline was pushed back to the 1800s because that is where the story begins. Without knowledge of how oil became the key factor in the development of radio, and how Texas became the key factor in the discovery and exploitation of oil, then you won't understand how oil money dominated Texas politics and how Texas politicians dominated USA politics and how the USA came to see itself as the world's policeman in the 1950s; 1960s, and so on. Offshore radio and North Sea Oil is merely one part of a continuing geopolitical story that centers upon Houston, Texas.

Malcolm not knowing what

7/1/2021 12:15:44 pm

Today the man who calls himself Peter when everyone knows he is Malcolm engaged on the Joke Board in mixing metaphors. This is what he posted:

Our transmitter base is in Maldon, we wanted a relay to properly cover Burnham, but as an aside, Ofcom now question why we have a studio in Burnham. The request at this time has been refused. But ( as we get ever closer to the predictions made by by George Orwell ) the refusal was made by ' The Decision Maker ' and passed on to us by ' The Broadcast Licence Team '. It has elements of ' Who is Number One..You are Number 6 '.

George Orwell wrote '1984' which did not include any references to 'Who is Number One ... You are Number 6" - because that came from a TV show called 'The Prisoner' with an actor who also appeared in the TV show called 'Danger Man' which included an episode filmed on Red Sands fort, once home of Radio 390, which has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

Neither does Malcom.

Lessons from the Past ....
The aftermath of yesterday in Washington, DC, is how General George Monck recreated the British monarchy in 1660.
He did so with an Army followed by an Act (law) of Oblivion that made it a crime to address past events and then he helped to create a General Post Office in order to censor the mail.
Back in 1660, the dissidents had either fled on board ships (Mayflower) or were being deported (Australia) or they were imprisoned.
Each time a nation, including the USA, has refused to address an issue, it has created a huge body of people who believe that the government is lying (Pearl Harbor; JFK, 9-11, etc.)
It is said that 'Might makes right' - it does for the moment - but it does not silence the minds of those who believe that they are being lied to. (Read Orwell's '1984').
Even city police are told to arrest both sides in marital disputes to stop the violence, and then let courts of law hear the evidence as to who is right or wrong. In the old days, police would get called to a domestic dispute and often get in the middle of it and then get shot and killed.
In the current USA situation, going back to the Hayes-Tilden case (1876) for a solution would be a very smart way to "heal" this present USA divide. But take note of what happened to the next president because the problem was not properly addressed! There may be a BIG warning message built into that bit of history about what the future may hold, given events of the last 48 hours.
Attacking one side is never an educated smart way of dealing with this kind of situation. It is very, very, very stupid and dumb approach because this kind of problem is never resolved by saying we refuse to even address it.
That only promotes the next explosion of protest.
Stupid people keep fingers in their ears and shut their eyes, but smart people admit the problem and say "Houston, we have a problem."
Right now the stupid in Congress and the Media refuse to admit that there is a problem.
