Malcolm Smith who masquerades as Peter Moore and promotes a station called 'Radio Caroline' which falsely claims to be a continuation of the original 'Radio Caroline' which began in 1964 and ended in 1967, is now telling the truth about the bogus claims made in support of his own radio station that was built upon what is now a hulk called Ross Revenge.
He stops short of calling Ronan O'Rahilly a thief, but his description of Ronan O'Rahilly is that of a con man, a liar and a thief.
Malcolm Smith also admits the truth about why the Ross Revenge was once raided at sea, although he omits to mention the involvement of the UK DTI and James Murphy.
Why Malcolm Smith continues to confuse the past by promoting a lie and the truth is a mystery, unless of course his own income will totally vanish if he admits the truth. His 'Radio Caroline' is just that: His Radio Caroline and it has nothing whatsoever to do with events of 1964-1967.
The chain you refer to begins by mentioning Christopher England and John Burch. Those two are very silent and yet they know a lot more about the dying days on the Ross Revenge than they care to let on.
Those two also got in touch with Mervyn in Texas seeking help in discovering what the truth was about the ownership of the Ross Revenge and the claims then being made by the firm of Richards Butler.
The facts show that only Malcolm Smith has a legitimate business agenda and sooner or later he will disown the entire anorak community as a bunch of old geezers playing at being silly kids. None of them know what they are writing about.
The big problem for them is that Ronan O'Rahilly, who they worship, is now dead, and he was a lying con man - just as Malcolm describes him.
Malcolm's long agenda may be to get rid of the Ross Revenge by dispensing it to the scrap yard. He has already stuck it under a Charity which may have great difficulty paying for its present upkeep, let alone restoring its engines.
Malcolm may also be using the 'Caroline' name to climb his own financial ladder.
He first obtained an Ofcom license for AM, then another for FM. He may eventually let the AM go and build upon the FM using the Caroline name as his own brand for something he has in mind. What that is I don't know.
But Malcolm is no nostalgic anorak, and neither is he keen on playing disc jockey. He is a mechanic by trade, and it is the trade element you need to follow. Malcolm is not a historian, but Malcolm is a reasonably smart fellow with an agenda, and his primary objective at his stage in his own life is to put money in his bank.
Anoraks don't have any money so his interest is not in wasting time with them.
But to know exactly what Malcolm's mind is set upon achieving at this stage of his life, well, I guess you will have to ask Malcolm. Whatever it is, it involves making, not spending money.
As for our team, well, now that Malcolm has more-or-less come out and denounced the rubbish that Rusling has written about Ronan O'Rahilly, we really have no beef with Malcolm, and so we wish him well.
the latest from peter Moore/Malcolm Smith....... Posted by Peter Moore on 27/2/2023, 8:30:11, in reply to " Re: I get the impression that he disnae like you. " OK Ian, Let's set the scene. All through to 70's and 80's Caroline was supported by overseas income and goods, Radio Mi Amigo, then Monique, then Radio 819 supplied the bulk diesel, water and food and money. In the 70's at least the money went to Simor Establishments of Lichtenstein. Couriers were sent to turn that money in to cash and smuggle it back to Ronan. In Aug 1989, aside from what was happening on the Ross, in Holland after many arrests, Radio 819 and World Mission Radio ceased to exist. No more goods or money, ever. In the UK, reaction to the raid produced income. I put to Ronan a plan that as Ross Revenge was at that point no longer a radio ship we could/should stock her up with fuel and water and non perishable food to the point of being able to cope with a blockade and then go back on air. He said that this was just the thing to do, but offered no funds for the purpose. The Dutch authorities stated that they had no further interest in Caroline so long as there was no Dutch involvement. I thought it unlikely that the Brits would raid again, but hired the lawyer Christopher Chalker to start even a token legal case against the UK Government so as to discourage them further. Ronan ridiculed this lawyer. Also he told Chicago to get on air asap so as to 1. protect what he thought was ' his ' 558 frequency and 2. to restart income from Lotto 649 and the American religion. This happened before I could stock the ship openly, but the Galexy did run with fuel maybe three times and then we were left just with random small craft such as Phygela, Abris, Heltborg and for a time the splendidly named Dreamboat Annie. And Mick Dundee's twin engined Zodiac. None of these craft could carry bulk fuel or water. We filled Abris with 50 gallon barrels in each cabin and that fuel was passed across by a bucket chain. But everything was on a downward spiral, we could not keep up and soon there was little money left. There was plenty of money in the supporters legal fund and Ronan hired the best lawyers he could find and spunked all the money away to achieve nothing. Eventually the fuel ran out. Dundee did find a modest generator that could keep the ship functioning while off air and the ships we used to call The Whitstable Navy delivered this and Dundee installed it. So I fully admit that we failed but not from want of trying everything we could think of. Finally we had just Dave Turner and Fairwinds. The DTI tried to stop him as Ross was now fully able to send a signal and had done so. Ronan was off seeking his ' Third World Licence '. I undertook not to break the new 1990 Broadcast Act since if he found his licence we would not be in breach. Dave Turner was able to continue. When the situation became intolerable and dangerous I begged Ronan to let me bring the ship in especially if he could use his family influence to get her to Greenore. He refused this suggestion. I did not know at that time that there was a debt of $650.000 outstanding on the ship to MRK Marine Finance of Switzerland. He was afraid that a Writ would be put on the ship. Then came the Goodwins. A company had long existed Radio Caroline Ltd, dormant and awaiting the opportunity to operate. To this the unusual Chris England added Radio Caroline UK Ltd. Ronan had no claim to the name and never had done so. It was DJ Tony Kirk who saw this danger and thus managed to fund the first RSL local broadcast. Advertising was taken, goods and tours were sold and this honest trading enabled Tony to obtain a UK trade mark. This only passed to me when Tony lost interest in Caroline. So that is the actual sequence of events. In the mind of Neil, Radio Caroline was in profit until the day it went off air but that I deliberately withheld fuel so as to silence the broadcasts. He says that was a part of a wider plan to take over Caroline and that the station was ' stolen ' from Ronan. He has to maintain this stance so as to continue his 30 year campaign of bitterness. If he admits he is wrong he will have no focus for his hatred. PM
hello, yes j read that post when it first appeared also read the subsequent posts in which he refers too the original,what/how many Moore truths will be revealed,could be interesting too see what comments appear here,there and other forum. AgB.

It would appear from your reposting that is attributed to "Peter Moore" (Malcolm Smith), that he admits to being far less informed than we thought that he was. It helps to explain many things by filling in some gaps in what our very detailed investigation has been, and is still uncovering.
First, forget anything spun by Skues, Clark and especially Rusling. (That man is as uninformed as they come.)
But Malcolm clearly did not know how the Fredericia and Mi Amigo came to be in Greenore. That is the first point.
Second point, as a result of being paid to bring the Fredericia and Mi Amigo to Greenore, O'Rahilly Sr., had enough money to pull his failing business venture out of a nose-dive from failure to success.
O'Rahilly Sr was a businessman with a business plan that had absolutely nothing to do with pirate radio - or even upsetting any British government in London. In fact, he not only wanted their help, he got their help, and he was featured in British Waterways magazine. (We know a lot about BW from our own family connections!)
Third, once the two radio ships departed Greenore in 1964, O'Rahilly Sr got down to his own business at hand which was exporting his own manufactured product via his own export operation. (Up until then he had hired the services of an export ship - but he ran out of money. The radio ship offer appeared just in time. But it was a one-off deal.)
Fourth, Ronan O'Rahilly was always a hired stooge who knew nothing about anything. His first boss was Peter Rachman (slum landlord who had dealings with the Krays.) It was Rachman who owned the 'Scene' club. Not ROR!
Fifth, it seems that Malcolm knew nothing about the court case in Philadelphia, USA - the 'Radio Caroline Criminal Court Case'. Had he known he would have known what we came to know about the FCC and the DTI.
Sixth, because Genie Baskir helped the US FCC and US Justice Dept put a stop to Weiner's annoyance with ship radio, she was given (free) a copy of the entire FCC Weiner case file by an FCC lawyer who lived around the corner from her home just outside Washington DC. It was a sort of pay-off because we had to withdraw our court claims against Weiner which began when we intervened in the US FCC court case against him.
Seven, in that huge file were 3 pages of sworn testimony by James Murphy. They explained who he was and who he was temporarily assigned to. This is a typical attorney ploy of burying the needle in the haystack. But it also meant that we now knew how Weiner a) killed off the Ross Revenge, and b) killed off 'Sealand', all in one go. Bates was furious. We spoke with him via radio phone on Rough Tower.
Eight, what Weiner had done inadvertently, was to put into US and related UK case law, a judgment reaffirmed on appeal(!) which Roy Bates wanted to avoid at all costs. He blamed his kid Michael for engaging with Weiner at Blackpool for doing that.
But here at last is an admission by Malcolm Smith that he is really a garage mechanic who is out of his depth spouting off a lot of nonsense and filing bogus papers with UK Companies House. He may yet find that his beloved copyright and patent claims will fall victim, just as the Paynes did with their silly Radio London patent. They were okay until the authentic owner (BBC) wanted it back.
With Malcolm he relies on people like Paul Rusling and Ray Clark and Keith Skues churning out rubbish which no one challenges. But good detective work in cold cases (and this is as cold as they come because it goes back to the birth of broadcasting!), takes a very, very long time to investigate and prove beyond reasonable doubt that what is being claimed is true.
We are just about at that point of being to convince a jury with the facts, which in this case will result in a total reappraisal of everything that everyone thinks that what they know about broadcasting in both the USA and UK, is a load of rubbish.
Clearly this has no relevance to the current operations of Malcolm Smith because he is in the UK and this legislation applies to the USA.
Malcolm's operation is perfectly legal. His advertising is totally fake because it embraced the lies once spun by Ronan O'Rahilly. That invented record of the past created a totally false chronology which Malcolm now uses as the foundation for his transmissions, which are perfectly legal.
The question is why people want to broadcast illegally when all they are doing is playing music that can be heard in many legitimate ways? There is no censorship as such.
When offshore radio began in the Sixties it required the financial backing of Herbert W. Armstrong and his neo-Brexit message targeting the formation of a United States of Europe. It was a political message wrapped in religion that was not being broadcast on the BBC. Those days are long gone.
So why broadcast illegally? One answer is to sell drugs and thus make money, illegally. In other words, 'pirate radio' is on the same level as gangland warfare.
But what Malcolm appears to be doing is taking the dying embers of nonsense and by calling it 'Radio Caroline' he is hoping to create a new and legitimate financial basis for himself. He has already made moves in that direction by hiving-off the ship to a group who are trying to finance it as a charity. Then he got a license for a separate FM operation which has only slight connections to the 'Caroline' name.
The day will come when Malcolm hopes that he will be able to rid himself of the mythology of Ronan O'Rahilly and all that his followers believe. Right now, he needs the myth because he needs the financial support of the people who believe in the myth.
"But what Malcolm appears to be doing is taking the dying embers of nonsense and by calling it 'Radio Caroline' he is hoping to create a new and legitimate financial basis for himself".
Both Radio Caroline and Caroline Community Radio are Community Radio stations within the terms of their Ofsted licences. They are run and staffed by volunteers and are required to be non profit enterprises.
How can this possibly be construed as a financial basis for one individual?

Malcolm is building his business on a lie, and he knows that it is a lie - but he proclaims that lie on his web site.
Clearly you are a target of his funding source and clearly you have no idea how charities pay out to the people who run them. This 'Caroline' venture has a short shelf life and Malcolm is cashing in while he can, and he is obviously counting on your financial support.
What evidence do you have to support your view that he is 'cashing in'?

1. He is a liar. 2. He is using lies to hook idiots into giving him cash. 3. He admits that he is lying because he knows that what he has posted on his web site is a lie.
I thought you were too smart to ask silly questions. This will be your last one asked here.

We are not interested in anorak ramblings, only in this subject as it relates to our interests.
The fact that a registered charity is claiming not to have a 'subsidiary' involvement with a radio station, while claiming that a ship is the home of that station, is an interesting point to question.
Where does one entity begin and where does the other one end, and both of them are headed by a person using a fake name - unless he has legally changed his name? Has he legally changed his identity?
In other legal documents he is claiming to be two different people - simultaneously.
