Radio & Payola & Spotify Today

3/10/2021

This is a short video that gives a to the point precis on Payola and the record industry in the USA. That it is still around today in different more subtle way's isn't that surprising, the record industry seems to have always been coated with a layer of sleaze.

It does raise the question about British radio & payola, particularly when you consider the USA connections to the 1960's offshore stations such as Radio's Caroline, London, & SWE / Britain Radio. Also Laser 558 in the 1980's had strong USA connections so what about them?

Consider Morris Levy & one UK smash hit in 1964. "With international sales of 5m copies in 1964, the year of its release, the hit single My Boy Lollipop, sung by Millie, who has died aged 72, “opened the door for Jamaican music to the world,” said the producer Chris Blackwell. He had flown the 16-year-old Millie Small from Kingston to London to manage her career. Millie’s shrill, joyful vocals, married to a galloping ska rhythm in Olympic Studios in London in an arrangement by the Jamaican master guitarist Ernest Ranglin, were beamed out all that summer from the new pirate radio stations, such as Caroline, that were instrumental in helping promote the record. In May 1964, two months after the release of My Boy Lollipop, Millie was given a guest appearance on the ITV special Around the Beatles."

Many archetypal releases have suitably exotic back stories and My Boy Lollipop is no exception. Originally released in 1956 in the US by Barbie Gaye as a shuffle blues, it had been a small hit. The tune’s songwriter, however, was a card player who had swapped his rights to it for a $100 bet that he lost. Morris Levy, a New York record boss, contacted the bet-winner and took over the rights to My Boy Lollipop, thereby owning the publishing income from this future multimillion-seller." (Source Guardian Newspaper 2020).

Who knows for certain if Payola arrived this early? It might explain why 'Winchester Cathedral' was on insanely high rotation on Radio London, when it was so different from their main fayre. As for Radio Caroline & it's director Philip Soloman & his Major Minor record label, well that was out of the closet payola at it's best. Being offshore in international waters did have it's benefits!

Mike, I guarantee that payola arrived in the UK early.

It certainly arrived with the restart of Radio Luxembourg after WWII on 2018 and it soon moved away from being NBC's European "The Station of the Stars" to become the station plugging station for money,

Initially, Radio Caroline actually broke with this 'tradition' but the 'daytime magazine of the air of the air' - never took off. Ted Allbuery took that same idea and turned Caroline into Eve, but Caroline was a mess. It bumped out Crawford who wanted to play the game fair and square, as did Joe Meek before him with a record label and his own record show on '208 - both of which O'Rahilly said could not be done. Lying bastard!

Then came Don Pierson and Texas radio because Don bought into the lies spun by O'Rahilly. Caroline then became a mess when it tried to copy US radio ('good guys'), and so the Cosa Nostra and Jewish 'Mafia' moved into London with Maurice Levy, and his man in the UK was Philip Solomon.

Yes, THAT Philip Solomon!

But you also need to know who else was at 6 Chesterfield Gardens and what they were doing!

Levy and Solomon married into the Casino-Clubland world of the NY/NJ gangs who had moved into London. They used the bottom of the barrel local boys like the Krays, and they in turn used people like Paul Elvey (Radio City), who was told to kill one of the Silver-Mifsud Maltese gang operatives. (For Mifsud = think Joseph Mifsud who brought about the downfall of Donald Trump,)

Yep, all from the scum that London could deliver.

Elvey's involvement led to the murder of Reg Calvert and the downfall of the Krays at the Old Bailey.

Maurice Levy had been at it in the UK via agents since at least 1956. That is when Levy put his boy Alan Freed on '208', and Levy had his hands in the financial pockets of all the big rock and roll stars such as Little Richard and many more who followed on.

All this was possible because the Mafia was in bed with and on top of the Metropolitan Police who in once sense were 'minders' for the NY/NY Mafia.

Idiots like Ronan O'Rahilly did not care. He just lied his head off to get the handouts. This is a big story and it is a big part of what we are working on.

Rusling and company make me really angry because he could have helped to expose all of this, but no, he and the other petty and loony anoraks are in it for the short haul to pick up pennies out of the gutter. That is how the system works - it buys off the Met Police first and then the others all follow.

Look at today's headlines, the Met Police are still at their raping-robbing game and trying to tell us that the latest round is an exception.

Hell its not, any more than the scum like Rusling got caught up in something that he was unaware of. If you play in the gutter expect to smell and look dirty.

Too many people are willing to sell out their own lives in return for a payoff. Little Richard had talent. Maurice Levy had greed.

"Moving an MF frequency more than xx kM towards a potentially co-user means doing clearance again. But really that’s just agreeing with co-channellers. If OFCOM told Caroline that their hands are tied then there’s not much you can do - that’s why it pays to have experienced consultants ‘negotiate’ you. (They charge €2,000 a day)."

Good question? The link is the great reset & the New World Order. A Corporately run world where only the very elite do OK & everyone else lives in a semi Marxist benign state. It's already started through Covid 19. Medical passports being floated to gauge reaction. The unvaccinated are the enemy, they need to be put in camps (sound familiar?).

Keep an eye on Australia, New Zealand, UK & USA. Mainstream news is managed and used to drive the drip drip of change.

That's funny ... that is ...

The more nobody cares and the more nobody is interested in reading MH (shhhhhh! - don't mention that name), the more the readership of the Blogs goes up and now we learn that Malcom Smith and his side kick (whoever he is), are both reading the Blogs and dear old Malcolm has now found it necessary to come out on Garry Stevens Joke Board (or is it the Church of Caroline Board?) and take up his precious time to write a huge slab of nothing in order to denounce (shhhhhhh!) and tell everyone that the smart thing to do is get drunk. Something is amiss here. No one cares but more people are reading the Blog but no one but the people who don't care are doing the reading and telling others to stop reading and get drunk instead. Funny old world, isn't it? By the way Garry will now delete a thread that is bound to start on his Board about shhhhh! and on the Joke Board I guess Malcolm the junior priest is hoping to kick start a religous revival about shhhhhhhh! Keep it coming Malcolm, keep it coming - you have to work harder to stop people from reading the Blogs.

Just running scared these anoraks who are scraping the bottom of the barrel to attack Shhhhhhhhhh! in order to help out Malcolm Smith and his Caroline Church.

None of them use real names and the latest panicked anorak calling itself "m0lsx" is attacking "Norman Nelson" who is deceased, and his friend "Neal West" who, the last I heard of him was seriously ill in hospital.

Why is this thing called "m0lsx" doing this?

To prop up a gang of thieves on the Garry Joke Board.

None of them know anything at all, and none of them try to educate anyone.

I have learned more from Shhhhhhhh! than all of the childish anoraks put together.

What happens if Shhhhhh! (not sure how many 'h"s there are supposed to be), does publish in print, what then? The people doing the attacking must be reading his Blogs - Malcolm and his mate are, according to Malcolm.

Garry wanted the anoraks to just ignore Shhhhhhhhh! but clearly Malcolm can't and this latest animal called "m0lsx" is now attacking "Norman" who is dead, and "Neal" whose status I am not sure of right now, but "m0lsx" says they are his friends.

Please tell these anoraks that their kind of friendship is more akin to people who stab others in the back. Rusling steals and Malcolm is just a glorified rip-off boy.

You learn more from Shhhhhhhhh! than all of the other anorak publications put together.

Now you wait and see. This "m0lsx" thing is going to say that I am "Shhhhhhhh!"

Hi, Mervyn. How's it going?

Is it possible?

7/10/2021 08:19:37 am

Is it possible that the outfit calling itself Radio Caroline and licensed by the UK, is in fact a patsy for the string-pullers at the heart of the UK?

Consider this:

Malcolm Smith's Radio Caroline obtained its license with help from a junior MP, and junior MP's have no power, no real authority - that is reserved for the civil servants who do the bidding on behalf of the Crown itself. If the Crown doesn't want it to happen, it won't happen.

Anoraks are very easy to buy off. They are mainly males who love to tinker with machinery, not political and certainly not religious matters. But the Crown is the creation of religion fused with politics.

Malcolm's so-called Radio Caroline does not deal in religion or politics. It deals mainly in old records. Harmless.

The religion it aired was harmless stuff promoted by fringe preachers with no outreach at all.

Malcolm is not Oswald Mosley or Nigel Farage. What is Malcolm? A car mechanic!

So the anoraks are gathered together to promote nonsense - but they are also directed to attack anyone who dared to use genuine 'free radio' in the past, such as MH, and make it seem today that MH was one person.

Now along comes Malcolm and he starts (upon gentle suggestion) another thread attacking MH. Why? On the one hand Malcolm says no one cares, but Malcolm does the opposite of what a prudent person would do, he draws attention to MH by attacking him. Then Malcolm admits that he and his cronies are following the writings of MH.

Something more ....

One of Malcolm's cronies has joined Malcolm's thread to attack the long-deceased 'Norman Nelson' who aired the broadcasts that MH was part of in the 1980s AND attacked the obscure 'Neal West', a close friend of NN, and who has been in hospital seriously ill.

But what the anoraks and Malcolm are not saying is that without the help of Neal West who ran the clippings and information service of 4FWS from his home in the Birmingham area, there would not have been a 4FWS which depended on NW for the international and especially British part of its information base.

Every week, without fail, throughout the second half of the 1980s and into the 1990s, NW spent hours and hours each week clipping and mailing hundreds of news and feature articles about political, religious and media related matters, and then going to the Post Office and mailing them off in well-sealed envelopes to the Dallas and Fort Worth area of Texas.

These Texas broadcasts also have a history behind them and some are on line to hear today. They were broadcast on stations as far apart as New Zealand to the British Isles (not just NN and RECC), and the continent of Europe. They were commented upon by Media Network as being 'unusual' and not just another 'pirate' broadcast.

So is Malcolm Smith merely a patsy doing the bidding of the folks in Whitehall whose job it is to keep anoraks busy fussing with a rusting boat and giving old age pensioners who pretend to be disc jockeys, something to do and keep them out of harm's way? The harm being damage to Crown interests?

This would fit in with what Mike has written at the start of this feature thread!

You anoraks may be in bed with the very people you say that you hate and that junior MP who got you the license may be merely a junior and know-nothing agent. After all, like all British MPs she has to swear allegiance to the Crown, which is why Sein Fein are not in the London Parliament!

They are not, but Malcolm's Radio Caroline is kissing its feet and playing their Queen's broadcast to her local SUBJECTS.

Oh dear, Oh dear.

Malcolm Smith is a patsy and his Radio Caroline is a mini-BBC (fully licensed, of course.)

Ian B. You have a problem. Your comments by Ben Toney courtesy of Mary Payne who is another tiny brain afraid of the true story, has just made a liar out of Ronan O'Rahilly. What applies to one applies to both Ben Toney and Ronan O'Rahilly regarding money. Ronan didn't have any. In case anyone is wondering - I am referring to comments on Garry's Joke Board. By the way, Ben stayed in my house and so he knew my wife who he pretends did not exist. But there is more. Go this recording and hear Ben Toney in his own words on XERF boast about HIS new venture called WRLI and its companion Radio London America. Just as well Ben is dead, isn't it? LISTEN TO BEN TONEY IN HIS OWN WORDS ON XERF https://www.mixcloud.com/mervyn-hagger/xerf-with-ben-toney-and-john-england-start-of-the-wrli-project/ Yes, Ben lied. He even lied about Don Pierson and how Don created WRLI at the National Association of Broadcasters in Las Vegas. You really are a sorry bunch of anoraks who seem to be in a blind panic because commonsense should tell you to ignore me, since you hate me. But no, you keep on promoting me. All I can say is "thank you" and please keep the advertising coming my way. I really do appreciate it very much. Thank you and thank you again. Did I remember to thank you Ian B and especially Malcolm. Thank you Malcolm for starting this new thread. The Joke Board wouldn't post this if it came from me. Even Garry Stevens has thought twice about promoting me. By the way DO listen to that recording of Ben Toney - I introduce him on the first broadcast so be sure to stay tuned for Ben and guess what - he made that recording in my home where my WIFE brought Ben a drink to stop him from coughing. (He smoked too much which put him in hospital.)

Just a correction to the facts in today's blog:

Peter Moore/Malcolm Smith is a marine engineer and station manager of Radio Caroline, not a car mechanic.

Would you like to be described as a bitter, jealous, hateful hack, or an investigative journalist? You see my point?

Gullable

9/10/2021 11:29:16 am

He ran a carburetor company in North London, hence the car mechanic jibe. So what are his qualifications for marine engineer?

So he's the station manager that failed to maintain the Ross Revenge, the one that starved it of marine diesel, and left it to rot at sea with the subsequent consequences, but is was all O'Rahilly's fault? Do you mean that one?

Or the one that slow walked it to becoming the licensed community station, a mere shadow of it's former self. Just as OFCOM & the government wanted it. Make you wonder whose side he was really on?

David Cotter

9/10/2021 11:58:36 am

Firstly it's 'gullible', not 'gullible.

Your questions;

" So what are his qualifications for marine engineer?"

Experience and completed marine projects.

"but is was all O'Rahilly's fault? Do you mean that one?"

I don't really understand the question, but I'm not apportioning blame as I do not know the true facts. There are various versions of events, all without proof.

"Make you wonder whose side he was really on?"

No, it's not a question of sides, it's a question of preserving a ship and being able to broadcast in some form as befits the times we live in.

Regarding your assertion that you could do better, please enlighten us to what your plans would be and how you would execute them.

Exposing Fred Bramley

12/10/2021 09:16:31 am

On 7/17/2019 - Garry Stevens exposed Fred Bramley as ALF and Paul Rusling then agreed that ALF is Fred Bramley and so did one other of Garry's Admins.

Why Fred Bramley is a stooge for Ian Ross is not clear - YET - but a bit more research will expose the reason why and what happened with Paul Rusling and Peter Moore.

The key to all of it is reference to a court case about 'Passing Off' and the need to expose the owners/creators of the original (1964-1967) Radio Caroline. If you recall, Jocelyn Stevens was on screen in that BBC-TV show of 1991 in which Ian Ross claimed that events in his 1990 novel were true.

That is when the 'Jimmy Ross' lie was born.

So when MH posted the 'Passing Off' case on the GS site - it was ALF who deleted it. Then a behind the scenes war took place and GS told ALF to stop deleting it.

It is ALF posing as Fred Bramely who keeps bringing up the Ian Ross book by saying that MH has misquoted it. ALF and Fred Bramley are the same person and it seems that ALF or Fred Bramley are stooges for Ian Ross interests.

Somewhere along the line Rusling did a backflip and went over to the dark side with ALF/Fred and joined forces with PM/Malcolm Smith and then produced his bible in which he went further than Ian Ross by claiming that friends of Ian Ross' father whose name is Charles - all called him 'Jimmy' - which is both totally illogical and without foundation.

The comes along the resurrected Oonagh. She knows nothing but hides a secret past with Ronan O'Rahilly which MH has been exposing.

So if you want to know ALL about the anoraks and their petty beliefs and lies, either keep following this thread right here, or see what is being posted by 'Caroline Brooks' elsewhere.

Maybe Mike will start a thread off that will zero in on all of this once and for all and let the dust fly.

Fred Bramley IS Alf

12/10/2021 09:29:04 am

Email just surfaced: GS kept making MH an Admin and ALF kept deleting his account. So GS wrote to other Admins and it turned out that GS had forgotten that he made ALF an Admin long ago.

So GS told ALF to stop deleting the MH Admin account when MH began posting the 'Passing Off' court case.

The ALF came back as Fred Bramley and started inventing claims by MH all about the Ian Ross book. It is ALF who seems to have some big interest in stopping the Ian Ross book and the BBC-TV programme from being linked and thus exposed.

That seems to point to the idea that ALF knows someone who is connected to Ian Ross and if Ian Ross is fully exposed the entire sham connection to PM/MS 'Caroline' becomes a tangled mess regarding their licenses and that old engineless ship.

This could lead to a government or police investigation into fraudulent claims made by MS and result in the 'plug' being pulled on a criminal enterprise.

Posted by Garry Stevens on October 12, 2021, 8:
44 am, in reply to "Re: Peter Moore "

I don't think anyone knew just how rouge Mervyn would turnout to be. Once we became fully aware of his full agenda he was removed and permanently banned from posting here.

Garry Stevens

Well, thanks for giving me permission to 'tell all' Garry and to expose all. You have now opened the door to letting everyone see how two-faced you and your cronies really are.

For months and months I wrote to you in emails asking you to explain your about face. You remained silent. Then you let Malcolm do your dirty work for you and you posted 'Amen'.

But you know that I know and others know your dirty secret about 'ALF/Fred Bramley', don't you?

Now a gang of thieves has at last shown themselves: Malcolm Smith; Paul Rusling; Garry Stevens and yes, 'ALF/Fred Bramley' who appears to be the key to all of this. He was given the job of shutting me up before even you knew what the game was. That is why you allowed ALF/Fred Bramley to accidentally get exposed behind the scenes and even Rusling confirmed that ALF is Fred Bramley and it was ALF who began deleting my access to your Board as an Admin and no one could understand why.

But once it became known that ALF is Fred Bramley and that ALF was protecting the interests concealed by the Ian Cowper Ross revelations on BBC-TV in which Jocelyn Stevens reappeared in 1991 (!!!!!!!), to protect his involvement back in 1964-1967, then it became a 'Watergate' cover-up.

The original Watergate break-in was a small matter and could have been easily dealt with, but once the amateur lies began they got bigger and bigger and bigger until in the end, the roof fell in on President Nixon and his cohorts went to prison.

So what CRIMINAL activity is this baloney "Radio Caroline" with hulk attached, really covering up, Garry?

Or have you not considered the deep pile of shit that you have now jumped into?

I won't be using ***** to blank out details - except in one instance where I owe it to one person not to bring him into this expose because he has done nothing wrong and he has been of great help to me and I wish him well. But the rest of you?

You are a sick joke Garry, and a two-face sick joke at that. Ask the 'Joke Board'.

Now go and restore the ALF/Fred Bramley post that you just deleted.

Am I the only person left is sane but drunk?

ALF is also Tronald Dump and Fred Bramley

12/10/2021 03:00:15 pm

It seems that this 'war' began with a threat from Tronald Dump on the Joke Board and that Tronald Dump is/was posting on both the Joke Board and the GS Board where he is/was Admin ALF and poster Fred Bramley.

Just how many (few) people are really involved in this game? 6? 12?

Is Peter Moore - Malcolm Smith getting money from other quarters and covering his tracks by inventing the Tronald Dumps, etc.

Is Malcolm involved in some form of charity scam using the rust bucket ship as a cover? Maybe that explains why the last people heard live on the Ross are so anti-Malcolm?

DAVE MARTIN IS ALF, FRED BRAMLEY AND TRONALD DUMP

12/10/2021 03:18:25 pm

It looks as if Dave Martin of the Joke Board is in fact ALF of the GS Board and he is therefore Fred Bramley and Tronald Dump, and with Peter Moore posting on the Joke Board and GS embracing Peter Moore who is Malcolm Smith, it means that the real target here should be Garry Stevens and his plaything streams.

Therefore is Garry Stevens playing a big game, running a big financial scam with Malcolm Smith and Paul Rusling? Are these three people nothing more than three petty crooks fleecing the public?

Clever in one sense but if all of the documentation is brought together to show what these three crooks have been doing and it is then dumped in the lap of the Police, Ofcom and the Charity Commission, it could start an official investigation that will lead to the end of their Radio Caroline farce.

How much money have these con artists been able scam out of the public?

Is it time to send the Ross Revenge to the scrap yard and maybe send these three to prison?

Well, what happened here?

Where did all the big mouths go? All those names that belonged to a handful of people who wanted me to shut up - where did you go?

Malcolm Smith started it with ALF on the Joke Board, and then Garry Stevens who plays pretend radio, endorsed Malcolm's mouthing on his Board. Now the cult Church of Caroline with rip-off hack writer Rusling in tow as its dog's body, has fallen silent - just as it was about to explode at the seams. Just as all those idiot names like Scottg were getting exposed, they all fell silent.

Please don't stop,

I was enjoying this part because it seemed as though you idiots might actually compromise yourselves to the point where you could be legally prosecuted for corruption, theft and violation of several laws. Then, once and for all this Caroline crap can be silenced.

Radio Caroline is as dead as a door nail, and soon, if only you will resume the stupidity that Malcolm began and Garry endorsed, we might see you all in the dock in the near future.

The Neil Gates Factor.

With this handful of bimbos its getting interesting to learn not only the true identifies of these fools, but where they fit in their silly picture. So Neil Gates hates everyone and he thinks that a US shortwave station is going to save his day. Even the fools like Malcolm know that SW is dead. It might be used in a global crisis, but those remaining shortwave transmitters will be taken over for speech - not music in a crisis.

If Neil gets in the way of Big Brother, then Neil will be flushed down the toilet where he belongs. So Neil is a sidebar aberration who doesn't even fit in the bigger picture.

Thanks for clearing that up Neil, I was not sure about you.

Goodbye.

Actually Neil was kicked off the Ross Revenge in Dover a few months after it was stranded on the Goodwin Sands. Having been caretaker (with a few others) of the vessel for getting on for two years he was no longer of use to Mr Smith and his cohorts despite all he went through, so he was dumped without any thanks.

Is he right to be so bitter after all these, well thats for him to answer? Or maybe he is just touching Smith's nerve, or exposing his real nature. Ronan used people without hesitation, maybe that is a Caroline tradition that Neil sussed out along time ago.

Peter Moore

12/10/2021 09:00:38 pm

Look, stop trying to invent a problem where there is no problem. I don't care if Garry Stevens agrees with me or not. His lot are all waiting for me to tell them about the power increase and yet they stay with Garry instead of leaving him and gong to the Board I am on now. Then there is this Board. Where do you get the right to poke your nose in? You have Hagger and that is another story. So leave us alone we are doing very well without any of you. Even though Ronan is dead and even if he dropped out towards the end we still owe him thanks for starting Radio Caroline. Does it matter whether Caroline Kennedy inspired him? I think not. George Fame certainly owed a lot to Ronan. Please stop all of this nonsense and let us get on with rebuilding Radio Caroline into a very influential voice in British broadcasting.

Your not Peter Moore, your just a very naughty boy!

Malcolm Smith aka Peter Moore aka Neal Gates aka Here-We-Go-Again

This has just popped-up on the Church of Caroline Joke Board ....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by Peter Moore on 13/10/2021, 7:45:58
Yes, yes I know,

I should not react but poor bitter Neal has a number of standard views that he recycles repeatedly. One being that Radio Caroline was in profit up until the day it went off air when in fact and to be blunt, we did not have a pot to piss in.
The next is that I denied fuel to the ship causing it to thus close down. In fact we tried every means to get fuel to the ship but ultimately failed.

Finally he states that I stole Radio Caroline from Ronan.

The actual situation is that Radio Caroline had no status that belonged to Ronan or anyone, other than that a radio station was sending programmes under that title emanating from outside of the UK.

Seeing this, an individual called Richard Hilton founded a UK company called Radio Caroline Ltd and did so in the 80's while the boat was operating. Hilton made it clear that he had no connection at all with the broadcasts. He was speculating that at some future date the company may have a value that could be exploited. Ronan was very displeased. Then the boat fell silent but there was the possibility that it would start to broadcast again. This possibility ceased after the shipwreck.

Then the unusual Chris England formed the company Radio Caroline UK Ltd and took adverts in various publications asking what the future was for such a station.

The person who twigged that the name was not protected was the DJ Tony Kirk who saw the need to do some activity that gave Radio Caroline legitimacy in the UK and this in no small part was why a short term licenced broadcast was made from Dover and why merchandise was sold. Tony noted that he could apply for a trade mark on the grounds of honest concurrent trading. When the mark was so registered it belonged to Tony. He did all the work and paid all the costs. The companies mentioned still existed but could not use the name as Tony had protected it.

Some years passed before he decided to have a normal life and he awarded the trade mark to me. That is the actual sequence of events. Having the mark has been very beneficial although far more recently we have had to extend it to other territories where rival applications were made.

So there you go Neal, but I am sure your view will not change as it is set in stone.

PM.

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

Now part of the above is true, and part of the above that reveals a different picture is missing.

The missing part is the big part.

What it means is this:

Peter Moore is really the person known legally as Malcolm Smith. He is a glorified (self) engine mechanic. Whether he is good, bad or indifferent as an engine mechanic is for his customers to say as part of a review.

Malcolm is responding to "Neal Gates" who insists that a con artist named Ronan O'Rahilly owned the ship (now an engineless hulk - so much for the mechanic bit) called 'Ross Revenge.

But the legal facts show that Ronan O'Rahilly did not own the hulk or the radio station on board the hulk.

A court case in Philadelphia, USA heard the legal questions arising out of the ownership of the Ross Revenge when its still had an engine and before any radio station on board it began to broadcast. So if you want the legal details and not the rant of Malcolm Smith or the rant of Neal Gates or the rants of people writing to Garry Stevens or those new members of the Church of Caroline Joke Board, then read the legal documents.

Over time, OEM has published several (not just one) editions about a man named James Ryan, the US Mafia, an executive with IBM and multiple others about the ownership of the mv Ross Revenge. So if you want the details and not the hearsay of people who don't know what they are talking about, subscribe to OEM.

Now as for this trade mark nonsense as told by Malcolm Smith, it is just that = nonsense. Ask the Paynes who thought they could trade mark Radio London. But the BBC used the name Radio London back in WWII - long before the Paynes ever had their first cup of tea. When the BBC decided to resuse the name - the Paynes lost a chunk of their trade mark. Even the "rl" logo predated the offshore station when it was the symbol of Litton Industries.

Anyway, the Paynes are another basketful of lies and distortions, so let's get back to Malcolm.

The person Malcolm keeps referring to but who never posts on the Church of Caroline Joke Board, or the Garry Stevens' Idiots' Board, is Christopher England (so called.) Without digressing as to who he really is, suffice to say it is he and another fellow named John Burch who really hold all the answers outside of the James Ryan US group, and "Chris England" and John Burch are saying nothing.

Ronan O'Rahilly knew who they were and through Burch, Ronan O'Rahilly came to k

You want to know what's in it for Malcolm Smith?

M-O-N-E-Y

Not from Radio Caroline - that is a joke.

Not from the old rusting and engineless Ross Revenge - that is scrap.

Then what?

Tracy Crouch worked to get Malcolm Smith his licenses and ownership of the hulk to put Smith in the driver's seat of a story. Rusling became his lap dog and expanded the story that Smith had already written himself. Others were gathered around with their books and of course Smith is now in charge of the deceased O'Rahilly's name as it relates to Radio Caroline.

So where is the money in all this?

Well the key is what was in it for the people that Tracy Crouch represented?

They wanted a cork to be put on the fake Caroline story and for Smith to protect the corked-up bottle of fakes.

Why?

So that the real story will never be told.

The real story has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with music, but it does connected to a LOT of money.

How?

Right now that is a secret about to be told, but not now and not right here.

Okay, so what is in it for Smith?

M-O-N-E-Y

But not from Radio Caroline or any offshoot.

Then what?

If Smith is a 'good boy' and does as he is told and plays the game, his licenses will increase in value as the UK grants Smith more power for his Radio Caroline and its spin-offs that he manages.

If Smith keeps playing the game and holds on to the bottle, and thereby like a magnet draws all publicity about Radio Caroline to him and his fake story (away from the real story), then as the value of his licenses increase via power increases and even additional licenses all bundled together, then there will come a point where Smith can sell out his interests for ....

M-O-N-E-Y

How much money?

That depends upon how long Smith has been told to play his game.

When he sells his licenses he can laugh all the way to his bank and disappear.

His control of the bottle of myth could be handed to someone like Rusling - if he is a good boy, and then Rusling as holder of the bottle, can use it as the publisher everything and anything to do with the O'Rahilly mythology.

The anoraks who could cause trouble are few in number and use multiple identities to project the impression that they are many in number. They probably number no more that a dozen, max.

The rest?

The rest are like the people in cars who pull over to witness the car crash, or the people who show up at 'tribute' concerts, or even football fans who once packed the stadiums and are now beginning to return.

But they are passive people who just love to shout and make noise after having a drink or two or three ....

Malcolm Smith meanwhile is no more interested in Radio Caroline of 2021 than a F1 car driver is interested in hitching up a horse to a cart.

One day, if Malcolm plays the game and does as he is told - in other words he abides to the terms of his contract, he could become quite wealthy.

This process has been played out before.

Sorry if we spoiled your game by exposing it Malcolm, but you are not being honest with the people who you have believing in the joke called Radio Caroline.

Garry Stevens is right about the Joke Board, and 'Church of Caroline' - but what he hasn't said is that Malcolm Smith is as fake as any cultist preacher who is in the game just for the money.

HOW MALCOLM SMITH JUST MADE ONE LIE TOO MANY

13/10/2021 07:47:59 pm

The Garry Stevens Board just uploaded this with a following comment ....

MV ROSS REVENGE (HOME OF RADIO CAROLINE)
Charity number: 1195589
Recently registered

The preservation of the vessel MV Ross Revenge and the advancement of education for the public benefit of the historical importance of the vessel and its role in English cultural history, initially as a deep sea fishing trawler of significance and as a broadcast base for Radio Caroline until the present day.

A comment was then added which reads:

.....this Registered Charity number should help to open doors with the Lottery Commission,and the Historic Register of Shipping,in order to get much needed work done on the Ross.

Given that Malcolm Smith filed FALSE INFORMATION with Companies House and given that the statement on the Charities Board is UNTRUE and given the INTENT of the people behind this FRAUD ....

NOTHING now stands in the way of exposing this corrupt scheme for what it is, a premeditated plan to gain money by FALSE PRETENSES from the British Public via a SWINDLE.

Given that the basis for this claim about the Ross Revenge is untrue and given that the reason for filing this fraudulent statement is to obtain money by false pretenses from the public purse, every effort should now be made to unmask this fraud and bring this matter to the appropriate authorities for possible criminal prosecution.

Who?

I have the utmost respect for Mike Weston who I have had quite a few email exchanges with over web shop purchases (all positive stuff)

My Day was made today when I had the beautiful 2022 calendar letter boxable

It is beautiful. All the 12 months pictures are wonderful and it has dates on it as well so on any given day if I remember to mark them off I know where I am

As I write I am starring at the cover in a trance at such a beautiful ship that Malcolm and the Caroline Family of which I hope I am privileged to be included , are loving maintaining with emotional love and real world dollar support

Well done Mike W for such a wonderful web shop service

Highly recommended

I am watching on catch-up, the Netflix series called 'The Crown', and I cannot help but see the damage that these tapestries shown by mass media create.

As far as millions are now concerned, what they see is what happened and what is true.

But what of the Monarchy and Church of England itself? The entire premise of 'The Crown' is that the Crown with its Church of England, forms the bedrock upon which all else can be built.

Unfortunately for all concerned, that bedrock is fake and goes back to Henry VIII and that goes back to the Papacy. But who has time for any of that?

I grew up in the England where Scotland did not exist except as a sort of northern county belonging to England and, where the Queen represented God's Church, and the BBC therefore represented God's voice.

I eventually got away from all of that to the point that I do not identify with any of it. But what of the lessor world of the anorak where Rusling who pretends to be a loyal English patriot, and Johnnie Walker who lied about Don Pierson and invented a compatible BBC history which is now in conformity with the world that Malcolm Smith is creating? What o that world? The present world?

I could not stop that which existed before I was born, and neither could I do anything about it until I learned how deceitful the accepted British educational system really is. But now I know, not all of the underhanded lies that created the past called British history, but enough of it, and by focusing on the origins of not only the BBC, but its children, well now I can speak up and put a stick in the wheel of their bicycle - if I target my retaliation properly on a small enough target to begin with.

Hello Malcolm Smith, I see you peddling away on your bike.

Now you have finally made your move and linked yourself to the Crown and its education and its media.

You want their money Malcolm, just like Johnnie Walker wanted their phony title.

Now you have a key to the door of their vault.

How easily some who claim to love freedom and individuality will fold and grovel in deference to their masters - who gave much of the world slavery and bondage - so that they could build their enormous wealth.

Communism and socialism are variations of theism where a group tries to ram its ideas down the throat of the majority - for their own personal gain.

Hitler did, Stalin did it, Henry VIII did it, Queen Victoria did it, and the present Queen is doing it.

That's the crowd Johnnie Walker wanted to join, and the one that Malcolm Smith now wants to join.

Well isn't it unfortunate that there seems to be people like me who won't put up with crap, because we still have an independent thought process?

You may still win Malcolm, but I am going to do my best to make it very difficult for you, and in future years, when someone looks, they will find my attempts and that someone of a new generation, will get inspired just as John Lilburne (1615-1657) inspired me.

Laugh Malcolm, but you should look over your shoulder while you are doing it. I seem to be in fine fettle.
