Radio Caroline - An Opinion - Part Two.

Is there any tangible connection between Radio Caroline in the 1960's and the subsequent Radio stations that have used that name? When Caroline closed in 1968 and it became evident that there was no chance of a return Ronan O'Rahilly quickly involved himself in other matters. The Irish Times obituary for him has a brief yet reasonably concise summary as seen below. It does miss out on the Caroline TV hoax, however an article in The Birmingham Post from March 1970 demonstrates how Ronan O'Rahilly believed in the operation at that time and in usual form exuded an air of positive optimism. The idea of Caroline TV first surfaced in May 1966 when the Cheeta 2 (which was equipped with TV broadcasting facilities) was loaned to Radio Caroline whilst the Mi Amigo underwent repairs and refurbishment. When it became clear that Caroline TV existed only in the imagination, Ronan continued with his film productions.

Irish Times. May 2nd 2020.

O’Rahilly ventured into films himself as executive producer of two 1968 productions: The Girl on a Motorcycle, memorably starring the singer Marianne Faithfull as a newlywed clad in black leather on a visit to her former lover, and Two Virgins, a short accompanying John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s avant-garde album of that title.

He also made Universal Soldier (1971), featuring George Lazenby as a mercenary in Africa. It came two years after Lazenby’s starring role as James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, which not only flopped, but was notable for O’Rahilly having disastrously advised Lazenby – whom he managed – not to sign a seven-film deal because he doubted that the 007 craze would last.

His last attempt at feature film production was Gold (1972), a hippy story influenced by the counterculture of Easy Rider.


The Birmingham Post. 13 March 1970.

Mr. O’Rahilly, in the great tradition of pirates, is a very elusive chap. But when I finally contacted him at an office in London this week he told me: “I have bought two Constellation aircraft and we shall be on the air by the end of the summer.”

He claims to have already taken 600,000 dollars [about $4m in today’s money, allowing for inflation] worth of advertising and arrangements are in hand for engaging crews for the aircraft. Mr. O’Rahilly feels he is not contravening the 1964 Act, which is aimed at stopping anyone in the United Kingdom supplying goods, financing or placing advertising with a pirate station.

“British companies are not placing advertisements with us,” he said. “The advertisements are from foreign firms who manufacture goods sold in Britain. Ronan O'Rahilly “The planes will be based on the Continent – I’m not saying which country – and the programme material is being bought from the United States and other foreign countries.”

Some of the programmes will, in fact, have been made in Britain but Caroline will buy them through Continental firms. The planes can stay aloft for 19 hours, but will only be needed to circle over the North Sea for eight hours at a stretch. “You should be able to get Television Caroline in Birmingham. I reckon we can cover up to 80 per cent of the country,” says Mr. O’Rahilly.

The programmes – in colour and on 625-line UHF – will have a pop style basis, but will not be all pop shows. “There will be talk shows and serials, and a two-hour pop spectacular every night.” The broadcasts are technically possible. The Americans have already run successful television transmissions from aircraft. Mr. O’Rahilly says that the station has cost “a lot of money to set up” but declines to say just how much. If Caroline Television does get off the ground – and Mr. O’Rahilly is determined it will – then an immediate anti-aircraft barrage (legal not physical) can be expected from the Government.


So what about Radio Caroline International in 1970 from the Mebo2?

The two owners of RNI Edwin Bollier and Erwin Meister approached Ronan O'Rahilly to use the Caroline name and five days before the UK general election they switched to Radio Caroline International. Already campaigning vigorously against Harold Wilson and supporting a large free radio demonstration in London O'Rahilly along with Simon Dee (whose career was in a downward spiral) gained the wrath of the Labour Party. Despite the apparent success of all this activity (see the article from The Offshore Radio Museum below) the pair would also have made themselves enemies of the British establishment.

Simon Dee had a knack for upsetting senior management losing his TV career both at BBC and LWT as a result. However he was under the impression that he was under some form of surveillance when he became involved with Ronan again. This is quite possible and would also suggest O'Rahilly was a likely candidate for the attention of Special Branch or MI5. In reality allowing the use of the Caroline name was really just a limited publicity stunt by RNI, the station had not really returned and switched back to RNI after the election was over. The original Radio Caroline had no logical connection with this publicity stunt and like Caroline TV it came and went in moments. Ronan O'Rahilly would however be firmly on the radar of the British Government and their various agencies. The ripple effect of this ensured the Dutch would outlaw offshore radio ending Radio Veronica's days at sea. Offshore radio was now a real problem for governments and the rules of engagement would begin to change.

Offshore Radio Museum (link).

The Labour Government in Britain had called a General Election for 18th June 1970 and on 1st June Edwin Bollier, announced that RNI would close the day after the election if the Labour Party were returned to power. At the same time he also announced the immediate closure of the unsuccessful German Service, which the station had tried to sustain since it came on the air earlier in the year.

Listeners tuning in to RNI's transmissions on 13th June 1970 were surprised to hear the station using the call sign Radio Caroline International. The owners of RNI had come to an agreement with Caroline’s founder, Ronan O'Rahilly, that they would mount an intensive anti-Labour Party campaign in the days immediately before the General Election. The use of Radio Caroline's name would, it was thought, have more impact with listeners.Radio Caroline bus June 1970

Key marginal constituencies in London and the south east of England were targeted while a continuous stream of anti-Labour propaganda was broadcast by the station in the run up to election day.

A campaign bus, with Free Radio slogans and photographs of 'Chairman Wilson' toured marginal constituencies in the south east of England promoting the station and denouncing the fact that the Labour Government had authorised the jamming of its transmissions.

An important link in rallying supporters during this campaign was the Free Radio Association (FRA), which was still operated by Geoffrey Pearl from Rayleigh in Essex. The FRA provided facilities in  the form of telephone numbers and addresses through which listeners could contact the station in response to on air appeals for help distributing campaign leaflets, stickers etc.

On 16th June 1970, just two days before the General Election, Prime Minister Harold Wilson personally authorised the use of the most powerful transmitter in Europe - a one megawatt facility kept for use in a national emergency - to jam RNI's signal.

Against all opinion poll predictions the Labour Party lost the General Election on 18th June 1970, with many marginal seats in London and the south east being gained by the Conservative Party. Although almost impossible to quantify it is virtually certain, and now generally accepted  by political historians, that the campaign mounted by RNI/Caroline  during the run up to election day had a significant impact on the result of the 1970 General Election, particularly in those in London and south east marginal constituencies.

The ORM link is a straightforward copy from Paul Harris which is about the standard from ORM. Like a physical museum where families go to stop and stare unaware of the real story just what some junk shop antiques have been bought for a song

Be aware of antique dealers using the phrase "museum quality" meaning super perfect. Their item might well be mint but Museum Quality to a museum means we also have a budget. Whats the cheapest representation of an example of something representative we can find

In other news:

“Seychelles, which has fully vaccinated more of its population against Covid-19 than any other country, has closed schools and canceled sporting activities for two weeks as infections surge. The measures, which include bans on the intermingling of households and the early closure of bars, come even as the country has fully vaccinated more than 60% of its adult population with two doses of coronavirus vaccines.”

In March, Barnstable county Massachusetts, which has the highest vaccination rate in the state, saw the sharpest spike in the state in COVID cases.

The biotech industry newsletter Biopharma Dive wrote last year:

“There has never been a vaccine for any coronavirus. And many vaccine developers have based their designs on previous research into other coronaviruses, like SARS or MERS, which share genetic similarities with SARS-CoV-2, but differences as well.”

Many doctors and scientists, whose voices have been silenced, see no need for a vaccine at all for a 99.8% survival rate virus, overall, and 96% for people over 70. Former Vice President and Chief Science Officer for Pfizer for 16 years, Dr. Mike Yeadon, says:

“There is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. I’ve never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines.”

“You do not vaccinate people who aren’t at risk from a disease. You also don’t set about planning to vaccinate millions of fit and healthy people with a vaccine that hasn’t been extensively tested on human subjects,”

The UK Independent reported last year:

“COVID-19, like other coronaviruses, is expected to mutate at least every season, raising serious questions about claims that any vaccine will work. A successful vaccine has never been developed for any of the many strains of coronaviruses, due to the nature of the virus itself; and vaccinated people can have a higher chance of serious illness and death when later exposed to another strain of the virus, a phenomenon known as ‘virus interference.’ An earlier SARS vaccine never made it to market because the laboratory animals it was tested on contracted more serious symptoms on re-infection, and most of them died.”

Free radio fans do not get it however hard you try Mike! For them RNI was heroic, despite the fact they ruined Dutch offshore radio. By the time the Mi Amigo returned to sea the Dutch MOA was always going to happen, they just made it easier to get the legislation through.

The problem facing all anoraks who celebrate the advent of Radio Caroline is trying to explain it to other people.

It first appeared on the high seas in March 1964 - sort of like the Star of Bethlehem which many astronomers concluded was a real event - but just not the magical event that it was turned into.

Radio Caroline was a sound transmitted from a ship named Caroline, and that did happen, just as Greek Bishop Nicholas from the maritime city of Myra in Asia Minor during the time of the Roman Empire, also existed.

Over the years after Radio Caroline died in August 1967, all manner of legends became attached to it, and to the person of Ronan O'Rahilly who was promoted as its figurehead. The same is true of Nicholas who became known as the 'Wonderworker'. In the USA in the 1930s, the lean and alien image of Nicholas who lived before the advent of photography, was painted as a fat, jolly fellow for a Coca-Cola advertising campaign, and it went viral.

So today, we know of Nicholas by his title of 'Santa Claus' - rather than 'Saint Nicolas' and we picture Santa Claus as a fat, jolly fellow who drives his sleigh laden with gifts, across the night sky.

In reality Santa Claus does not bring children gifts, their presents are bought and paid for by their parents and other family members.

Eventually children in the consumer West come to know the truth about Santa Claus, but not the truth about Radio Caroline, because while the ship and station on that ship existed, and the jingles existed on tape, there was no company called 'Radio Caroline'.

So how did the 'miracle' of Radio Caroline come to be?

Well, if you read Robert Chapman's academic work 'Selling the Sixties', he specifically tells readers that John Sheffield and C.E. Ross held the majority of the shares in Radio Caroline. But if Caroline was a boat and a tape and record transmission from that boat, what did Sheffield and Ross buy?

The only entity that existed connected by company to Radio Caroline in the beginning was Planet Productions Limited of Ireland which was registered on February 25, 1964, and that was long after someone had bought the ship Fredericia and renamed it Caroline. So who bought that ship and outfitted it with a radio station?

Now Chapman, Keith Skues, Ray Clark and of course Paul Rusling, all wax wild about a company called 'Planet Sales Limited' located in Jocelyn Stevens' offices on Fetter Lane in London. The only problem with that story is that there never was a company called 'Planet Sales Limited' that operated from Fetter Lane, or anywhere else in London in the year 1964.

So if there was no company operating as Radio Caroline, then where did Chapman get his authoritative information about Sheffield and C.E. Ross from?

Someone made it up, just as C.E. Ross was turned into 'Jimmy Ross' or Saint Nicholas was turned into Santa Claus.

Upon this legend of Caroline, the girl who never was, has been built an industry that has turned a broke young Irishman named Ronan into a Santa Claus figure.

The legends surrounding Saint Ronan and his mythical girl named 'Caroline' are many.

Kids grow up and grow out of the Santa Claus mythology, but anoraks get more stupid, more senile and more ridiculous by every additional minute they manage to breathe air on this Planet.

They have their Saint - his name is Ronan.

They have their religion - it is called Caroline.

They even have 'Holy Days' which they manage to remember each year in order to tell others about these important dates.

They collect gifts and offerings which they donate to spreading 'The Word' about their Savior.

They even have a 'Bible'.

How much more stupid will these old farts become before they gasp their last breath on this Planet?

Don't look at the kids for an answer. They soon realise that Santa Claus in all of his Coca-Cola imagery are just a myth, but the ageing farts called anoraks trudge on in a state of total delusion.

But what of their evangelists like Skues, Clark, Rusling and of course Malcolm Smith who calleth himself 'Peter Moore'? Like many evangelists of the Santa Claus kind they are using their dupes to financially support their own lifestyle.

What a strange world this is where self-delusion is so fiercely defended as a right that enables the deluded to be abused by others.

I wrote this to challenge a sane reply based upon the facts in evidence: my real name is Mervyn Hagger, but if these lazy, stupid, ageing anoraks are true to form, they will reply with daft cover names and attack me personally, and avoid answering the issues I have raised.

Is there one of you stupid anoraks who will admit the ludicrous nature of your 'calling' and address the issues?

Since you are into religion, now is time to repent before The End arrives and you finally kick the bucket and gasp your last - or - before the truth is told for all the world to read and you will then have to fight on in order to defend your world of lies, because you will never admit that you

Knowing that an army of idiots is out there to defend the origin of their Santa Claus myth, and knowing that some like Scottg will say "Aha! - look what I found on Wikipedia" (or a similar site), the image of Santa we have today as a jolly fat man has been fixed in our minds by the Coca-Cola company, but the template for their artist was Thomas Nash the political cartoonist of the American Civil War era. But that era was about Black slavery and the Klu Klux Klan and hate, so Coca Cola got rid of the politics and gave us a commercial Santa who never talks about politics or religion. In fact, Santa Claus just says "ho, ho, ho" like the clanging of the Caroline ship's bell - which came courtesy of the American Spotmaster tape sold in the UK by its representative agent Dick Witkovski who once worked for the company in New York that supplied the transmission and studio equipment for Radio Nord aboard that ship that became renamed 'Mi Amigo' and was managed by Charles William (Bill) Weaver. So shut Scottg, and don't bother to do your "Aha!" act. We are not impressed by the fact that you as a grown man can read.

Malcolm Smith who calls himself Peter Moore on UK Government legal filing documents - (which is ILLEGAL!) - is getting worried about me. Now he is making more stuff up about the days of the Ross Revenge, This is what he wrote today ....

Posted by Peter Moore on 5/5/2021, 9:49:14, in reply to "Re: Wasted Opportunity"
Surely one and the same John England and Mervyn.

At the time he drew in John Burch of The Caroline Movement and Chris England and I remember Chris saying that John E/Mervyn would ring him and have lengthy long distance conversations saying that Chris should exploit the ' legal opportunity ' that existed to go and claim the Ross Revenge.

And then, there was Mervyn Haggar -"

I told Malcolm Smith, the car mechanic, about the legal problems surrounding the Wireless Telegraphy Act and that the lawyer for PYE discovered in the 1950s that the UK had been collecting license fees - ILLEGALLY because no such law had actually been passed by Parliament.

So the UK passed a retroactive law rather than refund MILLIONS! It made big news in the USA newspapers but scarcely a mention in the UK!

As for John Burch and Chris England - THEY CONTACTED ME IN TEXAS and asked me to investigate the registry of the Ross Revenge because of my contacts with the Panamanian authorities in New York and their ship registry people in Panama.

I discovered that the Ross Revenge had a FAKE REGISTRY out of Houston run by two lesbian friends and a male friend and they called their operation a Panamanian Consulate! Totally illegal. But their scam was in selling bogus registries to all kinds of ship owners carrying dangerous cargoes. I assisted the Panamanian Government after Noriega to shut down this fraud. They also worked with the US FBI.

My colleague Genie Baskir worked with the US FCC and US Attorney's office in Florida to shut down Weiner's fraud on a ship - after he ripped us off!

Chris England also asked me to investigate the bogus financial claims regarding Bates and Rough Tower, and I also reported LIVE on air over Radio Netherlands about our investigation into the scam rooted in Texas concerning Anderson and Rusling's 'Laser Hot Hits' - with its ties to convicted US con man James Ryan.

We investigate, we research, we document. It was Chris England who caused Chicago to reclaim the Ross Revenge after he heard that Chris England was going to try to claim it under salvage laws, and it was Chris England who had already registered a UK company called 'Radio Caroline'.

Be careful Malcolm Smith, you are going to look very silly indeed when the true story of Radio Caroline is finally revealed. At the moment all that you and your idiot friends can do is call me and my associates names. However, I wish that you could at least take note and spell my name properly!

Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove was asked if there will be an end to a ban on hugging and people going into each other's houses coming this week.

Gove says "all being well" the PM will confirm tomorrow that there will be a relaxation of restrictions on 17 May.

Currently, people are advised to avoid close contact with people they don't live with.

But speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, Gove said: "Without prejudice to a broader review of social distancing, it is also the case that friendly contact, intimate contact, between friends and family is something that we want to see restored."

Children, children of the GS Board. That includes Chubby Broccoli and Sprouts who is probably none other than another aka for Fred Bramley who insists on promoting the novel by Ian Cowper Ross as the Caroline Gospel Truth. Rusling used it as the foundation for his ridiculous 'bible'. But Bramley aka Atlantisgb and Scotg and David LW (one idiot with many names), does not understand that 'Water, Water' refers to the dribbling drivel of all of the idiot anoraks and their printed works supporting nothing but lies. He is sprouting more nonsense with his own explanation of 'Caroline the girl who never was'. What a pity that this dupe with all these names to hide behind, can't even copy and paste a YouTube link properly. No wonder that Malcolm Smith loves these fools, they financially support his fraud.

For the obsessive spammer (you know who you are). Post under one name only from now on and keep your comments relevant to the original article. Over the past few day's I have deleted well over a dozen of your comments as they either make no sense and are not at all funny, unless your drunk I suppose.

Quite right we don,t want to glamourize malnourished drunkards here

At least you do not have to content with President Drump? Or do you?

Poor Tronald is winging at withdrawal from the amusing new summer sport of pass the Atlantis Port Bob a Job Day

Pious Moore then replies he has no idea who the New David Beckham is
But I see that after 18 months and 2 years I have trained him to spell my name correctly. So something is sinking in. I can only hope he takes more notice of my fright night high school classes and is too polite to sniff at my broken glasses of optical illusions

The CB Blog raised one question in a new video over on YouTube It is about the source of funding for Radio Caroline 1964. So the Troll Atlantisgb! avoided the question and instead he picked apart the syntax (so he says, without identifying the words), that are under the YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bbg_HvoPIk The only problem is that Atlantisgb! posted a corrupt version of the URL on the Garry site - which means that everyone who tries to see what he is rabbiting on about get "video unavailable". If only these trolls would address the central question about funding and stop trying to teach the world how to write (when they fail miserably at that task themselves), then maybe the nonsense now promoted by Malcolm Smith and Paul Rusling would be stopped dead in its tracks.

There is a lot of casting couch studio talk over there up in the Hollywood Hills of how Posh Punet of Strawberries Paul in the South and here there European everywhere pays the expenses from a couple of Raffles tickets to see a cartoon dog pretending he manages European Radio FULL STOP

And Punter Paul in the North who thinks a general lack of Knowledge Quiz night can be repackaged as a 450 page quizbook "bible" of how I manage the Radio World FULL STOP

The answer to these bar stewards questions is that they write both the questions and the answers and the mug punters are too blind drunk on home brew to see them clearly

Master Potter Peter hiding under his low profile cloak of delivering a very dry mans wit and humour to Landlord Dave every day has crafted a very nice cask of bitter. Managing to get a percentage from both Paul and Bobby Balls up and ignoring the new upstart micro pubs here which could soon be a serious threat to all 3 of their despicable business hospitality traits
