Paul Joseph Watson is quite the charmer, isn't he? Not a fan of Jews or indeed anyone who isn't white, which is a bit much. Mentored by Alex Jones, but now jumping on whatever bandwagon is passing by. Hey, it's a living, right?

Alex wasn't on the One Show last night, presumably been silenced again.

I said that some idiot would shoot the messenger & congratulations you did!

Paul Joseph Watson is not the person you describe. He is a threat to all the small minded narcissistic trolls who have to give everyone a thumbs down because you lack the intellect to challenge him with a robust alternative view.

The content of the video was interesting and made sense. Unfortunately Mike, there are so many brainwashed people now who believe everything the MSM tell them is news & everyone else is a conspiracy theorist if they done toe the line. Add into that the Marxist influence in schools and universities these days and you are left with these delusional ranters who attack anything that challenges the narrative.

Marshall McLuhan's Ghost

19/7/2022 03:05:17 pm

In 1967, Marshall McLuhan wrote about type of person now described by some as an anorak. He wrote that the medium has become the message, and that in some ways it is more important than the message to a strange class of people who, like anoraks, discuss transmitters and antennas and not the message that is delivered.

But of course, Malcom Smith has no message only a pile of old records that anyone can hear on hundreds of outlets. So Malcolm's rusty tub and his tiny little transmitter in the middle of nowhere are the stuff that anoraks talk about and dream about.

When it comes to 'Green' stuff they are all over the place, just like the real weather and the fake weather. To anoraks it is all the same.

When it comes to Ronan O'Rahilly, he was a lying, cheating, stealing god who they love. For what they do not know, but then anoraks don't seem to know much about anything but transmitters and antennas.

Why does everything have to have a message? Why can't it just be.........fun?

Anoraknaphobia answered

20/7/2022 01:07:55 pm

Because it is like abortion. Abort yourself. No? Need a doctor or another person who knows how to do it? That's 2 people involved. You and someone else. With pirate radio you want to broadcast your record. Why? So another person can hear what you are doing. That's 2 people again. Now we get into social problems and unless there are agreed upon laws to regulate conduct we have chaos or as Ronan O'Rahilly said: anarchy and anarchy leads to wars and killing once you stop talking and discussing, and killing does not seem like "fun" to me, unless of course you are mentally deranged, like Ronan O'Rahilly, or Hitler.

Well, Radio Caroline's conduct, or the conduct of the station calling itself Radio Caroline if you would prefer, is regulated by laws so that's OK then. Fun for one and all within the framework set out by those who make the rules to prevent playing records and broadcasting same descending into a mass killing spree.

McGregor really should shut up

20/7/2022 07:13:41 pm

It's one thing to be a fool and act like a fool but when McGregor pretends to tell companion idiots about KDKA, he really should learn to read first, then study and ask questions in order to form an opinion.

He made a note about KDKA on November 20, 1920 and a commercial broadcast, but MZX beat them to it back on June 5, 1920 and it was another Irishman who paid for the commercial broadcast.

Ask Mike, and ask nicely like a good student.

Lots of lines James. So you want to know if blood can be used as a substitute for diesel in running a ship?

You wrote: "This proves there HAS been a traceable BLOODLINE to the first broadcast station." I guess then that it doesn't since blood is no substitute.

Then you asked: "Which is the oldest radio station in the world?"

Maybe you have been drinking too much ELDERberry wine because we only use the adjectives elder and eldest before a noun when talking about relationships within a family.

Sorry about that Mervyn, James is in love with psychiatrists because his is a fresh out of uni young lady who sends James wild every time she looks into his bleeding left ear and tries to discover if he has got some old diesel fuel congealed inside. He sometimes pretends to be Fred Bramley and then the Board Watcher and that has brought him here again. Just put up with it because he hasn't got long to live because each time he falls on his left side he pushes this brain further and further into a squishy ball on the right side of his skull and the goo is now leaking out of his right ear.

Oh God! Wrote Fred: "Posted by Fred Bramley on July 21, 2022, 8:37 am, in reply to "The worlds eldest functioning commercial station"
2 years earlier than BBC
2LO 187kcs ~1617mts LW later 857kcs at Brookman's Park'

It was MZX that was a true commercial station broadcasting a sponsored program, not 2LO, and MZX was two years before 2LO. Besides which I think you mixed up 2MT with 2LO. Ah well, another Paul Rusling who knows nothing and writes volumes to tell the world that he is stupid and Rusling has the nerve to charge money for that obvious factor.

Shut up Fred. Go back to your Mi Amigo LEGGO kit and play with it on a sandbank somewhere. The WEATHER out in the North Sea can get stormy. That should work just fine..

Who was first

Well James you want to donate you blood to fuel a generator? Is that right? You claim to have a job coach who brought you here because (quote), you are "passing out on my left hand side and smashing up my torso, shoulders and head to the point that blood came down my ear and I am now a bit blocked with a ringing tinnitus."

So when you are "passing out on you left side" you appear to fall over on your left side and (quote) "smash up your torso, shoulders and head". First, let me get you a walking cane for your left side so that won't happen again.

The "blood coming out of your ear" seems to have give you the idea that you can fuel a generator with it. Well James, that will solve the energy problem if it is true. We can ask for blood donations.

The last problem is easy to fix. Turn off your radio and stop listening to 648.

Lastly, I strongly suggest getting out and going to the beach but out of the sun and deep breathing. Whoever suggested that you are of sound mind and able to work must be same person who told you that blood is the same as diesel fuel.

As usual Young Paul has corrected us all and the elder statesman of broadcast radio was a Dutch man from the Hague. He is pictured in the Good News Bible, compiled by the man who speaks double Dutch and thinks their is something fishy going on in the water. He demonstrates this like a goldfinch in a pudding bowl gasping for air by making a pointless observation that the Hague is close to Schevinegarrgham on Sea the spiritual home of offshore radio, just across the North street from Claptrap on Sea Essex. Tours of the Holy Land are available by the Olau Line. The Onedian line was BBC fiction. All tenders actually came from the Spanish Main Kent. Walter Raleigh was a keen supporter of the Golden Hind and spiritually went onboard the Ark Royal with Paul and Lord Nelson to inspect the possibility of recusing her from the scrapyard and going to war with Hilversum of Orange off the Hague. The spiritual home of many of young Pauls great navel gazing campaigns

Absolute Radio Content Director Paul Sylvester said: “Modern radio wouldn’t exist without these titans of broadcasting who introduced British audiences to the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin. We’re proud to pay tribute in a typically unique Absolute Radio way, disrupting the airwaves with an incredible soundtrack, legendary voices, compelling archive and the recreation of vintage news bulletins and ad-breaks. If you loved Absolute Radio 40s, well, we’ve fast-forwarded a couple of decades for another appointment-to-listen day of radio.”

Executive Producer Jon Holmes added: “An amazing day celebrating the incredible pirate radio stations that, ironically, changed the audio landscape of the UK from the (air)waves of the North Sea.

The time has come to escape from the insanity of the few who cluster around the word 'anorak', and the handful of aging disc jockeys who never did know anything and never were interested in learning anything (like the anoraks), and withdraw from their madhouse.

Therefore our secondary blog about 'Radio Caroline' will no longer be updated and it will eventually become an information site about our non-profit research work, while the blog that this site is linked to will shift to information divided between news of our academic publishing activities and our new commercial work aimed at the media marketplace.

Probably the time has come for Mike to also tighten up on the nonsense which he has allowed a handful of people to post and concentrate upon the serious nature of the topics he has been posting, but that the anoraks have been ignoring.

Personally, I have found Mike's new approach to be of interest to everyone who is to trying to make sense of events in the real world, which is a world in which anoraks have become increasing oblivious to its existence as they prattle on about radio that only resonates within their own small circle of friends and who seem to lack any contact with reality.

Agb! doesn't know, although he wants to pretend that he knows. Note that it says the 5th part-work publication WILL be published at the same location as the existing monologues but it does not say WHEN and it seems that this part-work series are not monologues and they are being published at some other location, which Mike knows. However, Agb! does not. Agb! will now say "sorry" like his know-it-all buddy Scottg who also pretends to know everything about nothing.. Rusling doesn't even pretend. He just flat out lies to the anoraks and they are stupid enough to believe him. So how stupid does an anorak have to be in order to be classified as an anorak? Ask Agb! He has the full qualifications.

Several Zeiss bodies would accompany Capa for the rest of his career. Their most famous moment would be on June 6th, 1944. As he plunged into the surf behind Allied troops assaulting the “Easy Red” sector of Omaha Beach, Capa brought two Contax IIs fitted with 50mm glass. As he describes in his autobiography Slightly Out of Focus, “The slant of the beach gave us some protection, so long as we lay flat… I took out my second Contax camera and began to shoot without raising my head.” He later recalls frantically attempting to reload his Contax soaking wet on “the ugliest beach in the world”, eventually retreating to a landing craft out of panic. (It should be noted that as he did elsewhere in life, Capa presented alternate or fictionalized retellings of events for dramatic effect in Slightly Out of Focus.)

By now the disaster that befell Capa’s D-Day negatives in Life Magazine’s darkroom has taken on mythical status, a horror story for lab technicians to tell around the campfire. As with “The Falling Soldier”, the contradictory accounts and urban legends surrounding what really happened are myriad (the accusatory finger has even been pointed toward a young Larry Burrows, then working in the darkroom as an assistant.) Until recently, various versions of the accepted narrative had been that between two and four rolls of film from the pair of Contaxes arrived at the Life offices in London. So sensational were they that the lab technicians were ordered to process them as quickly as possible; in their haste, they left the film in the dryers for too long or at too high a temperature, destroying all but the “Magnificent Eleven.”

Yet as he neared his 100th birthday, Life editor John G. Morris himself admitted the possibility that no other frames from Omaha Beach had existed in the first place. “I now believe that it’s quite possible that Bob just bundled all his 35 together and just shipped it off back to London, knowing that on one of those rolls there would be the [Omaha Beach] pictures he actually shot that morning.”

Debate continues to rage online over the veracity of Capa’s accounts and the official line taken by his publishers. Some fans and mainstream outlets still parrot the dramatic traditional narratives despite their often significant embellishments and inaccuracies, while zealous internet sleuths on the other side seem curiously invested in their attempts to discredit Capa’s work and cast doubt on his personal character.

As is often the case with events that occurred decades ago in a chaotic time, the truth probably lies hidden somewhere in between. Whatever it may be, the number of civilians in the immediate vicinity of Omaha Beach during the first waves could likely be counted on one hand — and Robert Capa took the closest pictures.

Responsibility

31/7/2022 08:45:32 pm

Is a publisher responsible for publishing hate speech that leads to violence and death?

How about the owner of a broadcasting station, is that person responsible for what they allow to be broadcast?

How about an individual who goes around shouting kill the ----- (fill in the blank). Is an individual responsible for what comes out of their mouth?

How about lyrics in a song? Is the writer and singer responsible for what the listener does with their sung information?

If the answer is no to all of the above, then is emotion protected and only action is punishable?
