No Fury - Just A Little Fact Checking

5/8/2023

Posted by Peter Moore on 5/8/2023, 7:07:13, in reply to "Re: Time to be scrapped!"

HMM,

the quote you mention was surely from Mervyn, or John England or Caroline Brooks or his mythical 'trio ' of colleagues. It is not the first time he has accused me of multiple criminal actions and even my making this post will in due course come to his notice when he will spit out still more impotent fury.
As it happens I sent various examples of Mervyn's outpourings to a defamation lawyer and then had a meeting.
The advice was that in normal circumstances i.e. if dealing with a normal person, a ' Cease and
Desist ' letter would cure the problem.
But in this case the lawyer , being of the opinion that Mervyn is clearly deranged, suggested that a cease and desist would cause him to post even more outrageous accusations.
Then I woud be obliged to go to law causing me to spend money not all of which would be recovered when the case was found in my favour.
Additionally if damages were awarded there was doubt that Merv could pay.
Lastly, were his multiple postings doing me any actual damage that I could demonstrate, or were such readers as he has perfectly aware that he is a nut job, fruit loop and many bricks short of a load.
I detect no damage only frustration at being unfairly targeted. Maybe Merv's brain will explode soon.

PM.

Well there are always two sides to every story, but on this occasion you can have a third, all free of charge, no donations required, no support group needed, just my ten penny's worth.

As requested by Mervyn in the comments of the previous post, Here I go...

I can indeed confirm that I know what Mervyn is currently working on and have been copied in on some of the documents and correspondence from individuals going back to 1959. The trio are all real people as is Caroline Brooks and they all go back together a considerable amount of time. Like Malcolm Smith who calls himself Peter Moore, Mervyn once used the name John England for his radio work, there's nothing unusual with that as most anoraks should be keenly aware of. Mervyn & I have never met in person or spoken in person and indeed we are hundreds of miles apart.

I tend to agree with his opinion that the current version of Radio Caroline has nothing to do with the original 1964 - 67/8 radio station. I personally think the current version should distance itself from Ronan O'Rahilly for their own self interest and stop parroting the myth of Caroline's name being based on Caroline Kennedy. If you have read Lyn Gilbert's book and Andy Archer's lengthy article in a 1970's Freewave magazine (previously featured here), then hopefully any rose tinted views of Ronan will have been replaced by a more accurate understanding of how he operated and took advantage of others.

Was he any different in the 1960's? Well who he mixed with might answer that question, but I will leave that for the publication of Dial 999 For Caroline.

Just to be clear I have no personal axe to grind with Malcolm who I know has worked tirelessly for his radio station for many years. I don't personally listen anymore so am not inclined to comment beyond that. Perhaps Mervyn could lower the rhetoric towards Malcolm but that will be his choice, we are all getting along in age now and old and wise enough to decide for ourselves what we choose to do.

I will state again my own personal motivation is to understand what actually happened in the creation of offshore radio as this considerably shaped my growing up and who I am today. If I was fed a load of nonsense, half truths or simply got it all wrong, then I would like to know. That's all, it's not complicated, however as an afterthought perhaps you dear reader could contribute to this websites forthcoming fundraiser. £10 a month will gain you a behind the scenes look at my computer and a tea shirt with some brands name on it!

Petty much a well balanced and not unreasonable response, certainly when compared to Mervyn Hagger's crazed vitriol. If only he could stick to completing his book instead of poking the bear with a stick all the time. Takes all sorts I suppose, including those who choose to post three times the same video of Kennedy getting shot on their Facebook page.

Yeah, I found the comments.

He did not take long to do precisely what I predicted, only that in this case one is expected to believe that an unnamed person who is hundreds of miles away from Merv and has neither met nor spoken with him none the less broadly agrees with him ( I think ).
The comments cannot come from Genie Baskir for as Mervy himself tells us he had an intense ( but platonic ) with the person. Nor can it be Eric Gilder ( Professor Emeritus of the University of Ongo Tongo )
Merv has also forgotten that he told us that Caroline Brooks was his own alter ago and not a real and separate person.

My legal interview cost me a couple of hundred quid, but I learned a few legal terms of value such as ' Mad as a feckin box of frogs M'Lud '

PM.

From the Unnamed Person whose name is not Mike because he is named

5/8/2023 07:37:04 pm

a) Look up the meaning of the word 'platonic'. How can a platonic relationship be an intense relationship.
b) Mike is not a woman. As far as I know he has made not trans claims about life.
c) Dr Gilder is a genuine professor. Peter Moore is a fiction.
d) Caroline Brooks spang from the web site for 'Caroline Books'. I have never claimed to be Caroline Brooks but Genie's daughter whose name is not Caroline, was asked to use this name as her alter ego, and she is a real life person.

Advice for Malcolm Smith: Get a real lawyer, you have obviously been paying someone like yourself pretending to be someone they are not. Ronan O'Rahilly would come to mind but he is dead, thank God!

The reason I can't respect you or Malcolm your hero, is because both of you are frauds. You say that you are waiting for a book to appear, yet all of the prerelease extracts only solicit nit-picking nonsense from you about names like Branigan or should I write Brannigan? Malcolm is merely a con man building his business on mythology while turning anoraks upside down to shake out the change from their trousers which he then scoops up and puts into his own pockets.

Mervyn Hagger

Mike suggested that "Perhaps Mervyn could lower the rhetoric towards Malcolm ...." but to do that Malcolm would have to first stop his use of the BBC airwaves to spread a lie about Caroline Kennedy and Ronan O'Rahilly.

One of the most recent examples of Malcolm's lie is his performance on camera when he gave his own detailed personal explanation about the origin of the 'Radio Caroline' name. He was asked about Ronan O'Rahilly while a BBC television crew were on board the rust bucket and engineless 'Ross Revenge' at anchor with its fake (make believe) antenna in an English river. That show was about antiques and Malcolm used the opportunity to raise funds by spinning the big lie once again.

It is a big lie because not only did Caroline Kennedy have absolutely nothing to do with the naming of the original 1964 station, but the lie itself seems to have first been unleashed around March-May 1965 in New York City to con two US newsmen into giving an interview to the biggest tabloid rubbish paper in the world called the 'National Enquirer'.

Then in 1965, Christopher Moore did an interview for a US newspaper feature magazine published in November 1965, to spread this same lie. It all began around December 1964 in London when Englishman Robin Leach (working as a freelancer for the 'National Enquirer' in New York - before he became host of the TV show 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous'). Leach invented this same silly story in order to con US Senator Robert F. Kennedy into giving him an interview. When RFK discovered what had happened he was furious and the US press reported his anger.

About two months after that, RFK showed up with young Caroline Kennedy in England. Where was Ronan O'Rahilly? Probably in hiding from RFK and Caroline's mother Jackie, who also accompanied her.

Let me be clear about Malcolm Smith who calls himself Peter Moore. He is a con man who lied on Company House documents and who is still using the BBC to spread the same lie about Caroline Kennedy in order to raise money for his own enterprises.

Research into Ronan O'Rahily's own use of the Caroline Kennedy lie seems to go back to another BBC program for radio that included snippets from a Keith Skues interview in 1973 for BBC Radio 1. Not only do I have the raw audio interview, but the actual program hosted by Alan Freeman which used part of it, is online at an anorak site for all to hear. The key is that Ronan O'Rahilly says in a portion of the interview not broadcast, that it is the first time that he had been interviewed for the BBC. The year was 1973.

It seems that Malcolm Smith is continuing in this same BBC tradition of spreading a lie to raise money for his own enterprise (two tiny radio stations and a hulk), and the BBC seems to be a willing accomplice.

If anoraks think that BBC Radio 1 is their 'enemy', they are very much mistaken because not only is the Caroline Kennedy story untrue, but so is the BBC claim that is over 100 years old as an organization.

Therefore, for me to stop calling Malcolm Smith a liar and a fraud, Malcolm Smith needs to stop conning the public out of money by using a lie, and he has to halt his personal attacks upon me and my associates for telling the truth.

Until Malcolm Smith does that, he remains a liar and con man who attacks me for telling the truth.

On the other hand, way back, I made it clear that if Malcolm Smith wants to start some radio stations that is fine by me. If he wants to rescue an old cod ship that once was used by an offshore station calling itself 'Caroline', I have no objection to that either.

What I do object to is putting a picture of Ronan O'Rahilly on his web site and then publishing his own fake story about the origins of Radio Caroline in 1964 on his web site, and then claiming that it marked the beginning of his current operation.

It did not.

Radio Caroline died on August 14, 1967, after which it limped on as a dead entity until the plug was pulled a few months later and the two original ships were hauled away.

Malcolm Smith is using BBC airwaves to promote a lie which even Ronan O'Rahilly did not begin to do until 1973, and which was first invented by other people in 1965.

Stop your fraud and your lies Malcolm, and I will ignore you from then onwards. Until you do that, expect to be labeled a liar and a crook, which is exactly what you are.

Malcolm Smith won't quit. This is what he posted today:

Posted by Peter Moore on 6/8/2023, 5:47:03, in reply to "Re: Time to be scrapped!"

Well,

They say that the difference between Americans and British is that if an American sees a man driving a brand new Lincoln Continental he thinks ' Wow what do I have to do to get a car like that ?'

If a Brit sees a man driving a new Rolls Royce he thinks ' Why should that man have a Rolls Royce when I don't have one ? How do I get it taken away from him ?'

Merv was obsessed with Radio London and then with Radio Caroline and as he could not become part of either I guess he wants to see Caroline fail so he can say ' Well I don't have it, but by my actions I have destroyed it '.

When we just keep on keeping on, his fury builds and builds. Maybe we will fail to save Ross Revenge but any such failure will have nothing to do with sad Merv.

PM

----------------------------------

Again,Malcolm Smith posts as Peter Moore, but this time he makes one FATAL error in his claims!

He wrote: "Merv was obsessed with Radio London and then with Radio Caroline and as he could not become part of either I guess he wants to see Caroline fail so he can say ' Well I don't have it, but by my actions I have destroyed it '."

The FACTS on record show something very different.

1. Radio Caroline is a dead memory from August 14,1967 - and it NEVER had any connection to Malcolm Smith.
2. Caroline Kennedy NEVER had any connection to the real Radio Caroline.
3. My interest was prompted by a discovery in Don Pierson's archives.
4. My investigation was prompted by the incessant questions regarding the fate of the Olga Patricia by a man from Norway, and by the reaction of Don Pierson during my audio interview when I asked him about political connections to Radio England. That was AFTER I discovered the Mafia/CIA connections to Radio London.
5.The final push came from reading the book 'Radio Man' which reveals the real origins of Radio Caroline.
6. Then I was given a pile of original manuscripts which unmasked the real story behind the unpublished version of Bill Weaver's book about McLendon, KLIF, Radio Nord and the fate of the mv Mi Amigo.

The story of Radio Caroline is also the story behind the MURDER of President John F. Kennedy, and that is why the book in progress is titled 'DIAL 999 FOR CAROLINE'.

Radio Caroline is the story of organized international crime (MAFIA); Texas gas and oil in the North Sea AND the potential of the Cold War emerging into a nuclear World War III (CIA and Polaris nuclear submarines at Holy Loch in Scotland.)

Malcolm Smith is an aging idiot pretending to be a teenager who knows nothing and is doing his best to make sure that everyone else stays as dumb and stupid as himself while conning idiot anoraks out of money.

Radio Caroline, the symbol of international crime by the American Mafia. Trying to be a part of that scene the undoing of the Kray Twins in Britain, and it seems that insignificant Malcolm Smith is trying to portray himself as a small time crook known as Peter Moore who manages two tiny Radio Caroline stations, together with an old cod ship, and now a rusting hulk.

Just a little reminder for Malcolm that I do exist, I am indeed male (One of the two real genders that exist in reality as opposed to someones imagination or educational indoctrination)

So I have never met or spoken to Mervyn directly? Well you see these days we have well established alternative systems of communication. So email works well for both of us, hardly revolutionary but a great way to allow us to communicate at our own pace and in our own time.

It's as simple as that. Unlike Mervyn I have some fond memories of being on the Ross Revenge, but that does seem like a life time ago and personally I am glad I moved on.

Freedom of speech is becoming a rare commodity these days, even in America where it is protected by their constitution there are many crazed and largely democrat voices trying to change all that! Rather than engage with different opinions they seek just to silence them.

Sometimes it's really good to engage with those who have different views or knowledge the latter being very important. For example doing that has helped me see how the media is controlled and who controls it. It's helped me see why much of the green arguments are a scam and based on very flawed science (if science at all). Anyway enough waffle from me.

Is Mervyn really the same person as Christopher England? It's a real shame I knew Chris way back and he seemed to be reasonably level headed. Mind you the same was true of Neil Gates. This madness must run in the Caroline family as Ronan's grandfather was quoted as saying on arrival at the GPO in Dublin at the outbreak of the Irish Rebellion in 1916 "It's madness but it's glorious madness"

Christopher Mervyn

6/8/2023 02:34:56 pm

Of course Chris England is the same person as Mervyn. He was working with John Burch back in the day trying to find out who owned the Ross Revenge.

Chris Burch

6/8/2023 02:39:31 pm

Mervyn is really John Burch when the 'three' (Trio - get it?) were being quoted about the links between Paul Rusling and the guy in New Jersey who tried to get his hands on the Ross Revenge. These "three" are really many more because I know for a fact that Garry Stevens and Dave Smith are also one and the same. The idea was Peter Moore's to create the illusion that he had another anorak base. The real one is in Southampton and that is where they all meet. Ask anyone who attends.

Mervyn Hagger for Ian B

Posted by Ian B on 6/8/2023, 13:11:21, in reply to "Re: Time to be scrapped!"

Well, the expected fury has been unleashed as was the intent. He never fails to entertain.

Your observation around a tinge of jealousy may have some credence, as people generally would recognise Peter Moore as station manager of the world famous Radio Caroline, whereas Mervyn Hagger would be recognised as..........(fill in the blanks!).

It's a great shame as some really valuable research has obviously been undertaken, but the positivity of it is bogged down in the quagmire of his anger.

--------------------------------

Ian B you just don't get it, do you?

While some anorak idiots such as Bob Meade ape the silly behavior of Malcolm Smith by pretending to be someone else, I admit to being me. But it's this sentence of yours that hits the nail on the head:

"It's a great shame as some really valuable research has obviously been undertaken, but the positivity of it is bogged down in the quagmire of his anger."

Do you know why I am angry?

I expect Big Brother (politicians and preachers) to lie. That is what they do. But when ordinary people come along and support Big Brother in the name of freedom - people such as Malcolm Smith who embraces the BBC - then I wonder why anoraks have a feeling of free entitlement.

You seem to think that me and my colleagues should spend our own money to discover the lies being promoted by Big Brother (BBC) and supported by Malcolm Smith. He has published lie after lie after lie on his self-published fake history of Radio Caroline.

Why Ian B, do you think that you are entitled to a free ride in life at our expense, while you support Malcolm Smith and two-faced idiots like Garry Stevens and Paul Alexander Rusling who supported at least on American criminal?

Why Ian?

Think for a moment for yourself.

It's the idiots who put on uniforms to kill people they don't even know, in order to satisfy the madness of Big Brother. Think 'Global Warming (what a joke). Think BBC being 100 years old. Another joke. Think Ronan O'Rahilly on a plane and seeing a picture of a very, very young girl called Caroline and supposedly building his life around her. Some might think of twisted minds sexually lusting after kids when they hear those claims that are endorsed by Malcolm Smith on his own web site. Read it and weep.

Think Ian, while you have time to think, and then maybe you too would join our quest to uncover the true story. But on the other hand, maybe you are to afraid to do so?

It's your life and your decision.

You don't have to be someone else's fool like "Freddie Archer".

The Ghost Of Ronans Bank Accounts

6/8/2023 09:01:57 pm

Lichtenstein does not exist, it is merely one of Haggers fantasies that has been added to maps by him to try and prove Ronny O'Really was not a great guy! I will always love Ronny, I had the pleasure once of buying him lunch, dinner, overnight hotel accommodation and lending him £500 pounds for his taxi fare back from Kensington to Chelsea. What a guy, when I asked for it back he told me he had given a little bit to Radio Caroline and the rest to a charity account somewhere between Germany and Switzerland. Who could argue with that.

German and Swiss Bank Myth Buster

7/8/2023 10:45:38 am

I know for a fact that Germany was defeated in WWII and occupied by other countries. So obviously it does not exist in 2023 and bank laws shut down Switzerland's hidden accounts. Ronan put his money under his bed in old shoe boxes. I also know that he gave you that 500 Quid back. All of it so he could go to heaven like the good Catholic that he was.

Back comes Malcolm Moore with this:

"Posted by Peter Moore on 7/8/2023, 5:46:36

Chris England .... when we were talking, he recalled how in the dark days of 1991 Merv would make interminable international calls to Chris urging him to use a ' legal opportunity ' to seize Ross Revenge."

Chris England and John Burch worked as a pair but not as friends. They did not trust each other, but BOTH of them asked me to investigate the legal ownership of the Ross Revenge, and I did and sent them the info.

Chris England with John Burch had a plan to grab the ship when it was abandoned at sea.

Chicago heard about their plans and that is why he reboarded the ship to prevent it being claimed as salvage.

I was not in Europe but those two were. They had a plan of their own, but I had no interest in their plan. I merely provided them with written documentation from the Government of Panama.

Richards Butler were at the time trying to claim that a bogus Panamanian Consulate in Houston had issued the ship with a registration by classifying it as a yacht. I informed the Government of Panama about this bogus Consulate and it was shut down. Apparently those scam artists had issued several bogus registrations.

Each time I have prodded Burch and his pal about this episode I have been met with silence. You need to reconsider who is telling the truth Malcolm. I have proof about my claims, you have but thin air and your own little con game.

Ian Anderson in remedial school

"Posted by Ian Anderson on 7/8/2023, 7:35:31

Commercial offshore radio in Europe goes back to 1958 in Denmark, the Netherlands in 1960 and Sweden 1960/61, not 1964 in Britain.

If there is a hero for pioneering offshore radio in the UK, from 1960 onwards, it should be Alan Crawford, who, although he led an interesting life after the virtual end of Project Atlanta c1966, is now largely forgotten and ignored and who's final years (to 1999) was affected by ill-health."

Grade 'F'

1. Commercial radio in Europe goes back to the dawn of broadcasting at dawn of the 20th Century.
2. Allan Crawford lied as much as Ronan O'Rahilly. What you may think you know about Crawford's activities are not true at all. In fact, because the dawning of British offshore radio emerged from a sea of lies and counter lies, all that Ian Anderson is doing is stirring a pot of lies to dupe up and coming anorak idiots.

Just a little (MORE) fact checking by Mervyn

8/8/2023 07:42:26 pm

It suddenly dawned upon me how to PROVE that Ronan O'Rahilly lied about Caroline Kennedy. Ignoring the real reason for the Radio Caroline name, it was not until 1965 that the myth began to appear and then O'Rahilly jumped on the bandwagon.

I know for a fact that when O'Rahilly went to Houston, Texas via New York in June 1963, that the famous picture with JFK, diplomats and John Jr (NOT Caroline) crawling under the Oval Office desk - had not even been taken!

In an interview with Keith Skues in 1973, O'Rahilly admitted that it was the first time he had been interviewed for broadcast on the BBC. That is when he blabbed about 'The Washington Post' and 5 years old Caroline Kennedy.

But the picture cited by O'Rahilly in 'The Washington Post' newspaper, was not even taken by the photographer until months later!

Here is the story from The Times of February 2, 2013 ....

"Eighteen months sounds like an impossibly long set-up for a photograph. However, that was how long it took for Look photographer Stanley Tretick to make the arrangements to capture this shot (above) of President father and toddler son in the Oval Office.

The chief obstacle to this shoot was Jackie Kennedy. The First Lady disliked her children being used as political props and tried to shield them from the press. JFK, however, knew their value to his popularity. When Jackie went to Greece in October 1963, the President had his secretary call Tretick to say, “The coast is clear; come on over.”

When John Jr came in to bid his father good night and ran under the desk (which he and his sister called “our house” with a “secret door”), Tretick leapt into action. Published just days after Kennedy’s assassination, the image came to epitomise the myth of Camelot – a youthful President as family-man-in-chief. Tretick was not to know the poignancy that would be loaded on to the photographs through tragedy, yet he recognised their power instantly. He later said he knew at the time these would be the pictures for which he is remembered. The shoot was worth the wait."

Nowhere does O'Rahilly claim to have been in Dallas in or just after November 1963. He was not there and I can prove it. He was in Houston and Galveston during June 1963 and those pictures had not even been taken, let alone published in 'The Washington Post'.

The Radio Caroline name had nothing to do with Caroline Kennedy, but a young lady named Carolyn who was on her way to becoming a Society model using the name 'Caroline'.

No amount tweaking that Hans Knot and the anorak tribe engage in, they cannot rescue the millstone hung around the neck of Ronan O'Rahilly that proclaimed that he is and was a lying son-of-a-bitch (as Texas call no good scum.)

11/8/2023 02:52:19 pm

You want to be 'Radio Caroline'? Go ahead because Malcom C. Smith claims to be 'Radio Caroline', only he is not 'Radio Caroline'. Tell Malcolm you will see him in court if he keeps up his pretense to exclusive rights. First of all he has to use that name to make it valid, so why is a company using that name instead?

Radio Caroline Trade Mark belongs to Malcolm C. Smith PERSONALLY

11/8/2023 02:45:37 pm

Okay you ignorant little anorak worms who think that there is a company out there that owns the trade mark/s (2) for "Radio Caroline". You are WRONG. Malcolm C. Smith of Beeleigh Falls Cottage, Abbey Turning, Beeleigh, Essex, CM9 6LL, United Kingdom owns them. Personally. They are his. The current Radio Caroline belongs to him and to him alone. Even the company which does not own the Radio Caroline trade marks was registered FRAUDULENTLY by Malcolm C. Smith. There is no connection whatsoever to 1964, it all begins in 1992, so if you would like to register 'Original Radio Caroline 1964-1967' - go ahead and apply. It will be fun to see Malcolm C. Smith challenge your claim and try to defend his own claim in a court of law. Since he has financially harmed people by clinging on to the image and story of Ronan O'Rahilly and said on camera on BBC-TV that it was named after Caroline Kennedy, it looks as if from a strictly legal position, Macolm C. Smith could be in a whole lot of financial trouble very quickly. I image that swindled anoraks would also have a case against Malcolm C. Smith. Okay, Malcolm C. Smith, start posting on the Dave Martin rubbish board and try to defend your ill-gotten gain. This will be fun. By the way, it is the COMBO that has been trademarked, that is "radio" + "caroline" = not "radio" or "caroline" alone. They cannot be trademarked by anyone,

Keep up

11/8/2023 10:47:32 pm

Barely worthy of a response, but I'll bite.

I hate to break it to you, but the owner of the trademarks has been common knowledge to anyone remotely interested for 25 years.

The RC Trade Marke was registerd when someone maybe Tonk Kirk , I don't know relalised theere was potentially a world of grief eith Richad Hilton and England and Dave Asher Meddlers with LTD names . As RC at Dover sold T shirt, car stickers etcs they registered as a trade mark. This name conundrum of hubris has gone on all over Europe and the world since the with the same frigging outcome

That is the policy of the UK Trade Mark office. It is called transparency. If we hid the information you would accuse the government of a cover-up. All government registered information of this type is available for the world to see.

We have 2 Radio Caroline Trade Marks on file. There are 2 because they represent 2 categories of trade mark. The 1992 Trade Mark represented 1 category only. Trade Marks can be challenged and this is what happed to the Radio London trade mark. The BBC challenged the Paynes and because they were not broadcasting, that part was taken away and give to the BBC.

Corby Radio Crap

"Juke Box Drive In on Corby Radio Sunday 2100-2200: Ron O'Quinn, Programme Director of Swinging Radio England, joins us live from Ecuador to talk about some of the many artists he has worked with in the 60s & 70s. This will include the August 1966 Beatles tour when he made reports on it for Swinging Radio England.."

Ron you were a failure. SRE came and went in a flash as a dud format, and yet you told a British journalist on camera that you were ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY. You said that was 'Plan A' and you had no idea of what 'Plan B' was.

You, Ron O'Quinn had no idea of how to communicate with British listeners in 1966 and consequently SRE never had the audience or the advertisers.

Stop trying to imagine your own displaced dream as reality.

The best that can be said about SRE is that it was so stupid as to be capable of winning awards from present day anoraks, and that it all.

Ron, you helped bankrupt the operation for its investors, and that is a fact, and yet you, Ron, claimed that you were only in it for the money.

Duh?

In view of Malcolm Smith's latest admission I am willing to have yet another go at making peace with him. This is in part what Malcom wrote in response to Bob Meade:

"Posted by Peter Moore on 20/8/2023, 8:13:23, in reply to "Aug 19th 1989" .... Caroline was put out of business when the big mast fell as it was a daft thing to build in the first place. A shorter mast or two masts may not have been so impressive but Ronan prioritised image over longevity. Had a sensible robust mast been built and if the money thus saved ( that which did not end up in Lichtenstein ) was used to keep the ships registration fully in place, there may have been no raid. I do not know 100% if it was a stupid idea to broadcast the SW on a marine distress frequency but I guess it did not help.

But that was Ronan, ducking and diving, telling lies, keeping secrets, never letting the right hand know what the left hand was doing, always dreaming that the next mad scheme would be the one that worked.

In 2006 after softening me up by praising my long term efforts, he switched to blagging me in to putting 50% of the supporters money in to a Lichtenstein company under his remote control. When I refused, his anger was frightening.'

Malcolm, I have absolutely no interest in any of your broadcasting business with one exception. You are building it upon the lies about Ronan O'Rahilly, even though you are denouncing Ronan O'Rahilly as a liar.

If you will remove the icon image of Ronan O'Rahilly from your web page and remove the bogus history that you wrote about the origins of Radio Caroline and its name, I will stop making any references to your activities.

But it is in your promotion of Ronan O'Rahilly (with help from people like Paul Rusling), that I cannot ignore because it is at odds with the truth and therefore in what I am working on.

Get rid of the Ronan O'Rahilly rubbish and I will cease issuing any further negative comments about your enterprise.

What Bob Meade (who calls himself Freddie Archer) does, I am not at all interested in because he like many anoraks are just children in adult bodies pretending to relive their past that never was in reality.

I am sure that someone will bring this post to your attention. It seems that you have far more to gain than me from accepting this generous offer.

Your choice.

"In 2006 after softening me up by praising my long term efforts, he switched to blagging me in to putting 50% of the supporters money in to a Lichtenstein company under his remote control. When I refused, his anger was frightening.'"

This is somewhat different from a previous Peter story that at some point he and R were driving along and R asked him so what do you do with the £20K a month. Peter said I don't have £20 K a month I have 250 supporters paying about £7.50 Peter then related this as (tp parphrase) I could see how his mind was working. I was where I was because of him, so we were 50% shareholders. Years later I am happy to share overly personal stories about how I financed his departure from the country with his companion and then say in hindsight I am sorry I broke off contact with him. After many years of trading on his founding father God like image I am happy to promote any books that imply otherwise in the name of thruth and try and rustle up as much brunch as I can by distancing myself from the past I claim to belong to.

Posted by Peter Moore on 21/8/2023, 16:51:12, in reply to " Re: Aug 19th 1989 "
Well,
Ronan wanted 558Khz from the outset. So many times he told me ' Hey, baby, 50K on 558 '. This was his dream outcome and those around him said that the masive mast was needed to perfectly suit that frequency. But as Tom Anderson sabotaged Ronan's wish for a Gold format, Peter C also decided to use 319 ( it is a good frequency that we have used before ! ).
So, much time passed and only the capitulation of Laser made 558 available.
I am not a marine architect but just work on common sense. Ronan was driven by ' why not ' but my mantra is ' what if '. To be fair, Ronan may not have thought that the UK would extend territorial limits and nobody expected the 87 hurricane.
As I am sure everyone knows, ships ' pitch ' fore and aft and ' roll ' side to side. The rolling motion is more extreme and Revenge is only 38ft 6ins wide. With the weight of the tower and the pendulum effect, the forces acting on it were extreme and it was entirely reliant on the side stays. Now I don't know ( maybe others can advise ) if the stays were ever tensioned and made to match the tension on each opposite stay. I suspect not. I speculate ( only that ) that the hurricane fractured some insulators on the port side and de-tensioned the stays which is why the mast fell over the stbd side. Anyway it was in the sea. Ronan said that an identical mast would be made and flown out by helicopter, which just showed that he had nil knowledge of engineering.
But the ' what if ' factor came and bit him as he knew that if the ship went inshore anywhere, it would be impounded by creditors due to the way the project was funded in the early 80's. So Revenge was trapped at sea.
Then came the conundrum of who would pay for any new mast of any design. If money was salted away in Lichtenstein this could not be admitted. So I guess that Lotto 6/49 were persuaded to fund the miracle Valcom glass fibre tower that was 100% unsuitable and failed beyond repair the first time it was erected. Had it been structurally sound, it was doomed anyway being rated for only 5KW. Nobody held their hands up to say they thought it would handle 50KW.
So it came down to the Aussie who liked to be called Mick Dundee to find secondhand towers in a metal scrap yard at £250 a section. Nobody congratulated him.
When the station was operating again it was soon raided, as discussed in a previous posting.
A long saga of things getting buggered up time and time again.
I am still cursed by 500+ tons of cement in the hull that was poured to counter balance the sodding mast. Now she sits far too deep at the stern that will hamper dry docking, while I hope I don't need a sharp intake of breath when a surveyor orders me to break up and remove the cement to check the condition of the tank tops.
Ah, the romance of radio from the ocean !

An excellent summary of the talks (and no small measure of arm-wrestling) there Fred. One aspect I would question:

[offer from UKBetting of £10.2m] this was rejected by the TEAMtalk management. It would be a very odd set-up if "management" were even involved in such a negotiation, much less taking a decision. Such matters are the prerogative of the Board, which I think is where Bill parted company. They had a very skilled "takeover" guy on the Teamtalk Board, ex UKGM and a really big shaker who is nowadays running a multi-million company in Yorkshire.

My offered gamble was one that they would have been foolish to reject, and Bill Weaver was possibly too much of a mental anorak to agree with me But definitely a decision was made in my pub, without any of my "management" being being consulted at all.

Malcolm ('Peter') slags off Ronan as a crook, and even Bob Meade ('Freddie') has to agree that Ronan O'Rahilly was a crook, and yet, and yet, their idol (Ronan) remains an idol and they devote their money and time to a useless medium that is rapidly disappearing via Death's Door?

Greatest Hits (Whatever that is) and the ever popular BBC Radio 2.

DEMONISING RONAN.

The strange Mervyn Hagger hates O'Rahilly simply because the myth that built up around him and which he was quite happy to reinforce, may be far removed from the truth."

Malcolm, yawn, you are right. Anoraks are not just stupid people, but they are so stupid as to support your own little private business with their time and money, while they miss the point that what they say is irrelevant.

But what Ronan O'Rahilly did as a paid mouth in 1964, was okay as a self-serving means of living, while at the same time in 2023 what he did needs to be put in context, and you obviously dare not do that, or is it that you not only don't know what happened from 1959 to 1964, but you don't care because in 2023 your main interest is in milking the fools as long as you can?

Which means that Malcolm Smith only cares about the reality of keeping the donations coming his way.

Thanks for keeping my name before your cult members, but given their ludicrous brainwashing they probably won't be among the purchasers of 'Dial 999 for Caroline'.
