In response to your comment, an update has now been posted to the original article. By the way, there is no such thing as 'Christening' in US law, all given names are 'first names' and with regards to 'Sarah', it was a false name because the ship was still registered as 'Lichfield I' with the Republic of Panama.

Wikipedia is a useless site for reliable information because it contains so much bogus information.

The Radio Caroline entry is a classic example.

Years ago, we did have a big input on Wikipedia but the anorak idiot brand trolled and made sure that silly comments about 'Jimmy Ross' were constantly posted along with other nonsense about Caroline Kennedy - which Malcolm Smith promotes on his own site to this day.

If anything remains of the link between Caroline on the Ross and Weiner and his 'RNI' and Roy Bates and his 'Sealand', it has been overlooked. But the fact of the matter is that Genie Baskir working with the US and UK governments, put an end to post-1967 non-governmental radio broadcasting, for good.

See the latest revision to 'Blown Away' and the 'Lichfield I'.

Please share this information about Genie Baskir with the crowd on Gary's site where you originally posted your comments. That lot are totally delusional and out of step with reality.

"But the fact of the matter is that Genie Baskir working with the US and UK governments, put an end to post-1967 non-governmental radio broadcasting, for good."

Really? If you are saying that there were no pirates after 1967 then you are clearly incorrect. Can you explain further, please.

The 'Blown Away' feature is primarily about UK and USA broadcasting operations in violation of law. If a remote nation allowed such a venture to go ahead off their shores, it would face another set of legal circumstances.

The days when UK offshore broadcasting could slip into a 'grey' legal area ended in 1967, and when the new 1990 UK broadcasting law came into effect, it absorbed all of the various addendums and court rulings, and consequently a 'blackout' was created for anyone attempting to transmit from a marine location without permission of government.

This especially ruled out the possibility of broadcasting from offshore to the UK or USA without being prosecuted for engaging in a criminal enterprise, and the real possibility that the vessel or structure would also be seized by a police-military action.

Genie Baskir had a big hand in preventing both Weiner and Bates from attempting to start new offshore stations, and the knock-on effect of bringing the days of 'Ross Revenge' transmissions to a halt. Her reason for doing so was because she had become a victim of financial fraud conducted in the name of those two entities and the people behind them.

If an individual tried to break this legal barrier today, it would depend upon the cost to the State of bringing that person to trial, against the cost of damage that they are creating to legal undertakings, and both the time and money spent, and the threat to life if force is used to stop them.

Anoraks are a bunch of daydreaming kids who think that time and events have stood still.

Ah...so it's post 1990 activities rather than post 1967.

The movie 'Blown Away' was released in 1994, which is what the banner plainly shows. But it was the US events leading up to the 1990 change in the UK law that Genie Baskir became involved with, because events in the UK relied upon entanglement with the USA and its laws. That is why James Murphy got in touch with us and wanted our input, which we willingly provided.

After 1967 the once 'grey' area changed to 'black' and former legal events became illegal. However, the criminal activities of Rachman and the Krays were behind Ronan O'Rahilly, while the businesses behind Caroline were primarily trying to change the licensing laws and allow competition to the BBC. Offshore radio was never their ultimate goal.
