An interesting viewpoint on 1984 and Eric Blair (George Orwell but you know that) must have been on the Autism spectrum somewhere with his ability to examine history and extrapolate out the likely journey that the power hungry and manipulative excessively wealthy few would take. Today we have the trans tyrannical thought police in full swing along with a number of other 1984 indent's becoming oh so apparent. Anyone for a hate crime?

On May 12, 1987 this program was recorded for distribution on land-based free radio stations, but most of them did not understand free radio, they thought it meant playing old records without a government license.

I have been directed to the "forums" relating to discussions about Radio Caroline. I do not understand why there seems to be a constant attack on one person, and yet not a single fact has been challenged as to the truth, partial truth or no truth at all of what that person has written elsewhere. What is most peculiar is that on both of these social media chat forums the advice given is to ignore the facts because the Administrators do not like the person. This leads me to the conclusion that neither forum is really interested in the subject of radio and they mainly use these forums as an excuse to attack mainly one person, and not what that person has written. Why is that?

Ownership of the Ross Revenge
28/3/2023 01:12:14 pm
It is clear that according to the court records in the United States that investors paid for the Ross Revenge and Ronan O'Rahilly personally syphoned off some of that money. The ship eventually slipped out of Spain and the financial entanglement was never resolved. Now Malcom Smith claims to be the owner via an Admiralty ruling, but that In Rem decision does not necessarily wipe away all outstanding financial claims. Complicating matters is the fact that Malcolm Smith has set up a charity which is raising money for the Ross Revenge. But who claims ownership, the Charity or Smith or the original investors?
Reply
Stick to the issue
28/3/2023 07:21:47 pm
Now Malcolm Smith is trying to suggest that MH is investigating his life as a grease monkey. That is diversion from the issue. That's why they hired O'Rahilly. That's why they dreamed up the 1965 nonsense about Caroline Kennedy. But the fact is that MH wants to know now, do you own the Ross Revenge, or does the Charity own the Ross Revenge, or do the USA folks who paid for it in the James Ryan criminal affair still have a claim on it? No one, absolutely no one is interested in the life of Malcolm Smith as a grease monkey.

James, you do not seem to understand WHY I am working on this project. It is because there are some stories that the Establishment cannot begin to unravel, because, like a pebble thrown into a pond, the ripples radiate in all directions. So to explain one part means explaining other parts as well. So the door slams shut and then the machine either ignores what people like me are doing, or, if we become too much of a threat, they then resort to might make right. But everyone is born to die and like the parable of the talents, I am not one of the recipients of life who is too afraid to live life as an individual, and the gift of human life is something that no human being has ever been able to create on their own by using a method other than male sperm plus female gestation. In other words human beings are not very smart and some are very stupid by thinking that anyone of them equates to a Creator. Human beings ultimately can neither create nor destroy. All was here before each person is born and will be here after each person dies.

How Prosecution operates
1/4/2023 12:05:48 pm
Since prosecution is paid for by tax payers, prosecutors have to see if there are enough tax payers who want their money spent on prosecution. This is why idiots without a case are prosecuting Trump in a local State court. But there are enough local idiots willing to throw their money away in order to smear Trump.

2/4/2023 07:17:43 pm
PM's story about Caroline Kennedy is true, and although ROR was likely to rip everyone off, his story is the true story. He started R. Caroline. Bluff was called by people like Freddie Archer while Rusling sold anoraks the old story once again., and then MH started publishing on line, without charge, a very detailed and different story, and I noticed that the anoraks ran out of steam. Clearly the anoraks are reading MH online - its free - so now what happens? Is what MH is publishing - true, or is it a lie and if it is true what happens now to the story that PM is promoting as a charity? As for his radio station, maybe his own words will be applied to him = who cares about 648?

Behind the Scenes at Radio Caroline
4/4/2023 11:02:20 pm
Just finished reading Lyn Gilbert's book. She certainly has had an adventurous life. In essence, her recollections confirm what we already knew, but her personal stories of her dealings with Ronan add some flesh to the bones regarding his modus operandi. No wonder that those who did not enjoy a close relationship to him in the formative years of Radio Caroline have been unable to provide any real substance to how he operated, deals that were done and how funds were raised. He surrounded himself in mystery and even those working closely with him never knew exactly what was going on. A highly recommended book for anyone seeking to understand how his mind worked.

Well, something funny here. You can buy the Lee Gilbert book about Ronan O'Rahilly in the 1970s - CHEAPER - from authentic book sellers than you can from Malcolm Smith's phony charity! Yet nothing on Smith's site says anything about making a donation when buying the book. So I guess Mike will get his chance to review this work after all.

I am also following up the heritage of Caroline (as in Radio Caroline), and like Reith, I am discovering that apart from myself, no one else seems to have performed this kind of original research. Meanwhile anoraks are either dying off as old farts, or too silly for words to describe their antics.
