The land area controlled by George Parr as the 'Duke of Duval' with help from officials in adjoining counties, was extensive. Political life in the Valley of South Texas was under his ruthless control, which meant that the inhabitants who were mainly Spanish speaking persons with connections to the neighboring country of Mexico, had to abide by the political choices of George Parr, if they wanted to survive. That meant voting for Lyndon Baines Johnson.

In 2021 it is almost impossible to avoid two subjects that have fused to become the trigger for the threatened dawn of a new 'Dark Age' of information: Donald Trump and Covid-19. Coupled together they are rapidly becoming an excuse to ban, block, censor and limit information about the U.S. Election of 2020 and its aftermath.

This gives us cause for concern because in unravelling the tangled flow of modern day events that brought us to this point in time concerning our own investigation, we have collided with the stark reality of the 1948 stolen election by Democratic candidate Lyndon Baines Johnson. This man then rose in power to become the primary beneficiary to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 - which is not to say - that Lyndon Baines Johnson was the mastermind behind the death of President Kennedy. However, without the swift execution of John F. Kennedy on that day in late 1963, there is no way that Vice-President Lyndon Baines Johnson could or would have become President on that same day.

Since the 1948 ballot box stuffing was the trigger that eventually propelled Lyndon Baines Johnson into the White House, and it is apparent that the owners of Brown and Root were the primary financial backers of Lyndon Baines Johnson, and that they, the owners of Brown and Root, then prospered considerably from government contract work handed to them as part of the ramped-up War in Vietnam that was championed by Lyndon Baines Johnson.

The year of the assassination of President Kennedy is also key to this investigation into the origins of Radio Caroline. But more than Radio Caroline, it was also the year that the REM Island project got underway with construction by Brown and Root, with assistance from the floating crane that was operated by their Dutch and former Nazi SS partner.

His name is Pieter Schelte Heerema, and he was born during 1908 at Amsterdam in Holland on April 27, which was a few months before Lyndon Baines Johnson was born on August 27 in Stonewall, Texas. In other words Heerema and Johnson grew up in a world that saw the advent of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi atrocities of World War II. They both experienced the Cold War of the Fifties which embraced the Korean War, and they were also part of the dawn of that era which has been branded the "Swinging Sixties" into which Radio Caroline was born.

Pieter Heerema, a Dutch citizen, persuaded Heinrich Himmler to allow him to join his elite Nazi troops known as the Schutzstaffel, or SS, for short.
​
​But parallel to the birth pangs of Radio Caroline was the planning for an offshore television and radio station aimed at Holland; manufactured in Cork, Ireland from a design used for oil rigs in Venezuela, and called REM Island. Just like a conjuror who distracts the audience with the non-relevant antics of an attractive stage hand, so REM Island distracted everyone with television pictures and radio broadcasts. But Brown and Root and Heerema were not in the business of broadcasting. They were in the business of oil exploration and extraction, among many other ventures which were mostly paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

The owners of Brown and Root had also been the financial backers of Lyndon Baines Johnson who won his 1948 election in Texas by fraud with the paid help of George Parr, the so-called 'Duke of Duvall'.  But then came the Cold War and the blanket of censorship that smothered everything, thanks to the association of Texas "good ol' boys" who paid for a patsy named Senator Joseph McCarthy to go on a witch hunt for anyone who might be friendly towards the Soviet Union. Truth was smothered and a lot of people had to assume fake identities just to get some form of employment.

Now here we are in 2021, and thanks to the Covid-19 War triggering isolationism on a worldwide scale, we are off once again into another round of witch hunts to root out anyone claiming to have some sort of relationship to President Donald Trump, and all of this is against the backdrop of another round of claims about a rigged election. Curiously enough, it is the same Democratic Party members of the USA who were responsible for the rigged election of LBJ in 1948; the Cold War Era using the patsy Joe McCarthy, and then fake allegations swirling around about the 2016 General Election. That led to a new round of claims that the 2020 General Election was rigged by Democratic Party beneficiaries.

Social media has been co-opted into enforcing this new McCarthy Era of censorship, and the mere utterance of anything to do with a rigged Democratic Party election is enough to cause the shutters to go up. This has given us cause for concern, because the 1948 election of LBJ was rigged, and that has been substantiated by many responsible investigations. But so too has been the part played by Brown and Root in that rigged election.

While it is obvious that LBJ was the primary beneficiary from the murder of JFK, and Brown and Root did very well from their government contracts regarding the War in Vietnam, the fine details, the 'glue' that puts this jigsaw together, has not been covered.

Deep in the heart of Texas: that is where bribes were paid; elections rigged and events began that resulted in the murder of President Kennedy, and his replacement: Lyndon Baines Johnson.

You have to follow the trail backwards, if you want to find the legacy trail that resulted in claims about 2020 U.S. Election fraud, and that is why this story has its roots in the Nineteenth Century.

We have followed that trail and geographically it leads to the Lone Star State of Texas. That is where corruption has been rife for a long time, and that corruption is the story of Democratic Party politics; good ol' boys and government contracts, all fueled by oil money.

One man epitomizes election fraud in Texas and that man is Lyndon Baines Johnson. But he did not act alone, he had a primary financial backer in two brothers who ran the Brown and Root company which became part of Halliburton. This firm was built on government contracts and it was drenched in the blood of U.S. military personnel. They fought wars on behalf of Brown and Root under the banner of the Stars and Stripes, so that Brown and Root could be paid to build military installations from which they could operate.

It is all quite cynical and nothing like you imagined the way things were run. Or did you, but couldn't figure out how?

The Browns had an early partner named George Parr. He went by the nickname 'Duke of Duval'. Parr was the ruthless boss of a big chunk of South Texas that stretches downwards from the Nueces River, to the Rio Grande River which separates the U.S. border in Texas from the nation of Mexico.

In the South Texas Valley, the rival ethnic group to Anglos was not Black, it was Hispanic, and George Parr had them under his control. That is because the 'Duke of Duval' held their voting block in his hands, and that meant that he could make or break any candidate he chose.

He chose Lyndon Baines Johnson.

From the 1930s onwards, both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate were almost unchallenged in their domination by the Democratic Party. That kind of power resulted in the ability of the Democratic Party to award major U.S. government contracts, of which Brown and Root became a major beneficiary. That is how the alliance between LBJ and Brown and Root blossomed, and it was facilitated by fake votes under the supervision of George Parr.

Lyndon Baines Johnson even began bragging about his fraudulent election. His fraud has been well documented by many authors of books, and by journalists who have written both magazine features and newspaper articles.

Lyndon Johnson was also the major beneficiary from the murder of President John F. Kennedy.

That is a fact.

LBJ was Vice President one minute, and then, after a bullet splattered the brain cells of JFK during the next minute, LBJ was about to sworn in as President of the United States of America.

This brief saga which took place at High Noon in a jam-packed, spectator-strewn Dallas street on a bright sunny day, was also about to make Brown and Root a lot more money. They would become beneficiaries from the War in Vietnam that LBJ waged with ruthless determination, and to the point that he trapped himself in his own quagmire of death.

That same quagmire resulted in LBJ quitting his own presidential career path, but before that, it made Brown and Root's bank accounts swell. That is because Brown and Root were on the receiving end of a lot of U.S. taxpayers' Dollars that were paid to them for building U.S. military installations serving LBJ's War in Vietnam.

LBJ was a Texas "good ol' boy", and radio in Texas sang the praises of the "good ol' boys" of Texas almost as soon as the political power of that medium was discovered. Texas car dealers loved the medium of radio, and Texas automobiles all ran on gasoline. So the people who drilled for oil and then exploited its sale, loved Texas car dealers, and as it turns out, Texas car dealers also loved offshore broadcasting. The development of radio broadcasting blossomed in Texas as a means of influencing Texas politics, and that influence, backed by Texas car dealers, eventually spread to Europe.

But way back, before LBJ there had been a Texas governor who was sponsored by a Fort Worth flour company and he was accompanied by the emerging sound of what is now known as 'Texas Swing' music. So radio plus music plus "good ol' boy" politics became a winning combination to be exploited by the fellow-travelers of the guys who drilled for oil.

It was the medium of radio that helped the Democratic Party to establish its corrupt track record of "big boss" domination in many U.S. cities, because that is when the power of radio advertising came into the service of political boss promotional power. But the tweaked Texas airwaves became the new birthplace of political broadcasting power that managed to influence many voters who listened in.

This marriage between Texas promotional radio and political boss management of cities, then spread across the USA like wildfire when Texans started tinkering with both its sound and its transmitters. Dallas, Texas became home to both the doyen of top 40 radio, and one of the biggest manufacturers of broadcasting transmitters.

The sound of Texas radio was even exported to Scandinavia on board a ship, and then it was exported to the British Isles aboard many ships that were anchored off its shores. Offshore broadcasting with Texas branding behind-the-scenes, also appeared on Dutch television screens from a reconfigured Venezuelan oil platform. That platform was constructed by Brown and Root of Houston, with the help of a former Nazi SS officer.

But while Brown and Root were not into broadcasting, they were linked to a network of "good ol' boys" that included Gordon McLendon who had observed how people listening to juke boxes played the same record, over and over again. He didn't invent 'Top 40' radio, but McLendon received the credit. He was also a maverick who had one hand in the grip of Bill Meek who invented PAMS jingles, and his other hand clasped one belonging to Robert F. Thompson. McLendon was also into making films and he got his pals like Robert F. Thompson to appear in them, more for fun than any claim to a work of art.

Thompson was also a close associate of Clint Murchison Jr. He was a multi-millionaire who held a string of government contracts to construct everything from roads to reservoirs and a lot more in-between. McLendon; Thompson and Murchison were all pals together, and these "good ol' boys" of Dallas, were also pals with the "good ol' boys" of Houston, who of course included the guys who owned Brown and Root.

But these guys knew how to make money. Big money and that came from government contracts of one sort or another. Brown and Root were after the riches obtained from natural gas and oil, and their own legacy of work experience tied Houston to London during World War II.

It was Winston Churchill who brought the know-how of Texas oil developers to England when the entire United Kingdom was being starved of oil due to the activities of German U-boats sinking so many cargo ships making the Atlantic crossing. It was known that England had oil, and so did Scotland, but no one was sure how much there was, or how to get it out of the ground in commercial quantities.

So in utmost secrecy, Churchill turned to the home of experts who were located in Houston, Texas, and over they came to explore and exploit beneath the leaves of Sherwood Forest where the Luftwaffe could not spot them to drop their bombs. Robin Hood was one fable, but the oil deposits in Sherwood Forest were not a myth.

Texans not only pumped British oil to help supplement the stepped-up WWII demands being made in UK, but they also discovered that this oil patch stretched offshore and out into the North Sea. But back then, the technology did not exist to extract it, and that was long before international agreements regarding ownership of undersea natural gas and oil deposits had been determined.

Besides which, after WWII in the Fifties, demand was less and the world was awash in cheap oil extracted from the lands of other countries or from their shallow waters during a time when international transportation was not a problem. But the deep and turbulent North Sea waters were not only a problem for the technology of the day, but a nightmare waiting to be unleashed upon those who dared to go in search of its seabed secrets and hidden riches.

This was also the secret reason why a modified Venezuelan oil platform was built off the coastline of the Netherlands on its continental shelf below the surface of the North Sea. It was in the Netherlands that a major natural gas field had been discovered, and it had been exploited by people who knew that there was a lot more natural gas and probably oil, sitting off its Dutch shores.

So Brown and Root sank the legs of a modified Venezuelan oil platform into the continental shelf, and its partners built a television and radio station on top of it. That distracted the attention of nosy journalists from the real reason that it had been built.

However, other Dutch entrepreneurs had also put a radio station called 'Radio Veronica' on board a ship to which large numbers of the Dutch voting public tuned in, and advertisers supported it. But the Dutch government seemed to turn a blind eye to its floating existence. A ship is only semi-attached to the sea bed by an anchor, and that is quite different from a structure with legs that have been driven into the sea floor by pile drivers as though its builders were claiming  ownership of that geographical location.

At that time the mineral rights of the North Sea had not been legally 'carved-up' by international treaties, so the REM Island television and radio station structure was attempting to stake out a geological claim to mineral rights. They appeared to be offshore pioneers who were following others who had staked out claims in the Oklahoma land grab, and prospectors who had participated in the California Gold Rush.

The REM Island challenge was swiftly answered by Dutch legislation, and it was then followed by an invasion of REM Island by Dutch forces who descended from the air, and arrived by sea. Their mission was to capture REM Island, but they left the Dutch ship-based 'Radio Veronica' alone.

In addition to Brown and Root there were their European fellow travelers. They wanted to build licensed commercial radio and televisions stations on land, but not to operate them. However, the European governments would not permit private commercial broadcasting stations to be built. Even the commercial television stations in the UK were owned and operated by a BBC rival government licensed operation called ITA. Only the programming and advertising on those stations was franchised to commercial vendors.

So to create public demand, offshore broadcasting became a means of whipping-up a voting audience that could sway European, and especially the British government bodies into licensing on land stations. This is therefore the tale of two hidden agendas, both concealed by the sights and sounds broadcast by noisy offshore transmitting stations.

Brown and Root were trying to get licenses for natural gas and oil exploration and exploitation, and the PYE Group of companies was trying to get licenses to build "pre-packaged" (off-the-shelf) radio and television stations within the borders of the British Isles. That geographical location includes both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, which is where Gordon McLendon from Dallas first showed up and rubbed shoulders with Charles Orr Stanley of PYE. Stanley's commercial headquarters was located in Cambridge, England, but his family home was near Cork in Ireland. That is where REM Island was built, before being towed out to its on site location by a company founded by a former Nazi SS officer. On site construction was by Brown and Root.

Now, for the first time anywhere, our team has put together the hard evidence to prove this scenario.

It has come from both a personal investigation, and from the work of other researchers who have conducted fragmentary investigations of their own, but which they have thoroughly documented. By fragments, we don't mean to imply that their contributions to this story have been small. Far from it.

What we have been able to do is to take thousands of pieces of a gigantic jigsaw puzzle and put much of it together using our own first-hand research and investigation. We have not been able to put all of it together, but we now have enough of it for everyone to see the big panoramic picture that is on the box. Right now we are publishing what we have uncovered: here in this format, and later on we will be reassembling it in book format, at an appropriate moment.

Please don't think that what began with a USA election rumpus towards the end of 2020, and then erupted into a major protest in Washington DC at the beginning of 2021, is anything new, because it is not. It is just a larger version of the political life of LBJ, because his political life was that of a  is a lie built upon fraud. Now in 2021, we see the Texas fraud of LBJ writ very large indeed!

It may very well be a story that is also tied to the murder of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, because this tale of vote-fraud is a tale that is as American as LBJ's apple pie that George Parr first baked in his South Texas oven. The difference being that the LBJ version leaves a very bad taste in the mouth, and it also results in much more than just an upset stomach.

​[Revised on 1/12/2021]

Next time you hear that 1962 song that begins: "Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl ...." don't think about the singer (who was Gene Chandler), think of George Parr who was promoted as being the 'Duke of Duval'.

But don't stop there!

Think of LBJ who boasted long and hard about stealing the election that eventually landed him the job of President of the United States of America.

Sounds just like Joe Biden.

Same song, adjusted lyrics.

On January 6 of this year, someone (anonymously) posted on Mike Wilson's 'Conversation Central' (to which comments about this Blog are linked), the following message:

"I know it's not supposed to be chronological or sequential, but Caroline Brooks' blog has become a collection of unconnected random brain farts. Unless these musings can be assembled into a proper published book there is little hope. I'd like to think that it will happen, but unless the help of someone without a butterfly mind is enlisted it's not going to happen as the publishing schedule is pushed back once again."

Hopefully this will explain why this work is still chronological, but why it became necessary to reset its  chronological time clock.

When we began to unravel the existing published fables surrounding the 1964 creation of Radio Caroline, we discovered lie upon lie upon lie. So much of it is a lie that by trying to show the real story by answering each lie became more and more complicated as time went on. But while still using that approach we made this video:

However, the more we tried to correct the lies of Ronan O'Rahilly, the bigger our problems became, because Ronan O'Rahilly told an overwhelming number of lies and very little truth. Then came the era of claims about "fake news", and not only were a growing number of books in print featuring distorted or totally untrue accounts about the creation of Radio Caroline, but at least two people had taken our research, twisted it to suit their own needs of vanity publishing, and then claimed that they were revealing the true story for the first time. Like all the rest of them, they were just trying to make money off gullible readers.

Meanwhile, while we continued our research, we accidentally stumbled across an account of the building of REM Island which became home to an offshore television and radio enterprise, and because of the impeccable source of this new information, we began to look behind the people who had created REM Island and why they had built it.

It had nothing to do with broadcasting, but then we discovered, neither did Radio Caroline!

Instead, a number of interested parties had come together and both REM Island and Radio Caroline was the result. These were people with various agendas that criss-crossed each other. They were not all engaged in broadcasting interests, and neither were they all interested in other broadcasting projects, other than the ones they were engaged in. But a lot of them were not interested in broadcasting at all. It was merely a means to an end.

We discovered from the donated legal and financial archives of Don Pierson that he had more or less stumbled into offshore broadcasting as a result of reading misleading information about Radio Caroline in a Texas newspaper. Then we got a tip-off from Canada about declassified CIA documents that linked one of Don Pierson's ships to an ultra secret war on Cuba that was managed under the name of 'Special Group (Augmented)' and headed by Robert F. Kennedy, who was at that time (of 'SGA'), the U.S. Attorney General. The CIA base for this huge operation was known in Florida where it was located, but ignored by everyone else. All of it was drowned in stories about the 'Cuban Missile Crisis' and then obliterated by the murder of Robert's brother, John in a Dallas street on November 22, 1963.

Our timeline had already been pushed back to the end of World War II, but then we were introduced to one Defton Selmer and his highly secret British broadcasting operation that was not a part of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The UK had two distinct broadcasting operations and one of them was not only highly secret, it was also highly pornographic and crudely sensational. Its cloak of secrecy was maintained due to national security; it broadcast in a language other than English, and it was aimed at an enemy of the United Kingdom. But there was more than just the BBC broadcasting on British soil. The U.S. Armed Forces also had stations peppered all over the island of Great Britain.

But after WWII the blanket of internal propaganda descended on the people of the UK, and all of that was forgotten. Then fake recitals about the history of British broadcasting became full blown.

For our part, the recent revival of claims about 'fake news' became coupled with our reintroduction to a man who went by the Texas tag line 'Duke of Duval'. Because a member of our group had managed a newspaper in a Texas county adjoining Duval county, we had already been introduced to the Wild West nature of Lone Star politics where votes can be bought.

We delved deep and read about the 1948 rigged election of Lyndon Baines Johnson thanks to the ballot stuffing overseen by George Parr, the so-called 'Duke of Duval'. George Parr got LBJ elected to represent Texas in Washington DC by means of a 'rigged election'. Soon, LBJ was on his way to becoming its Vice President, and then President, after John F. Kennedy was murdered in a Dallas street at High Noon on a bright sunny day with onlookers surrounding him.

To this day no one dares to say who killed Kennedy, or why, although officially he was shot by a lone idiotic gunman, and the same people who tell you that, will tell you that vote fraud does not take place in the USA. But the fact is, LBJ was elected by a rigged ballot, and that is now a well documented and accepted fact.

But there is more to our quest to discover the truth about the past!

Backing LBJ were people who built REM Island and by following those leads we arrived at the story of offshore natural gas and oil, which included exploitation in the North Sea.

We went back further in time.

Soon we were reading Ida Tarbell's expose of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust. To learn more we turned to documentation from the the Nineteenth Century and how oil came to dominate the political life of not just the USA, but the UK as well. That is how and why our own new chronology of events began to emerge. We are not working backwards in time, but forwards from the Nineteenth Century. (We also make excursions into eras predating the 1800s while in search of the real story.)

Because of recent events that have now resulted in a huge confrontation over whether the last U.S. Presidential Election was rigged, or not, our own startling discoveries which predate current events, concern the fraudulent rigged election of LBJ. Any claim that is arbitrarily made that the Presidential Election of 2020 was "fair and honest", is totally ridiculous. There are too many claims of fraud by too many people to be dismissed out of hand. Many of those claims seem to echo the fraudulent rigged election of Lyndon Baines Johnson.

Therefore, this is our explanation addressed to the anonymous poster who claimed not to understand what this Blog is all about.

Hopefully, you now know what that poster now knows, and to answer one other point that was raised: yes, this material will later appear in both commercial book format as well as academic articles. You are currently reading that same story in Blog format right now.

Because of yesterday's historic events in Washington DC that have roots in events of a similar kind relating to claims of fraudulent elections, we are interrupting our present schedule to bring something to your attention.

As you know, we are presently covering the legacy of corrupted politics of the past, and we have also made many references to the original 'Muckrakers'. Therefore we are delighted to have stumbled across an existing web site that had no connection to our work, but which is dedicated to those pioneering investigative journalists - Ida Tarbell and Lincoln Steffens. You will find a new link button that will take you to that site, in the adjoining side bar.

We have just added Sidney Williams Richardson to our continually expanded Character Birth List, because Sid Richardson financed the Texas State Network of radio stations which assisted in the political climb to the U.S. Presidency by Lyndon Baines Johnson. (A concise account of the birth of broadcasting in Texas can be accessed using this T.S.H.A. link.)

In 1920, a City of Dallas transmitting station for fire and police information came on the air. The following year, the U.S. Department of Commerce licensed this station to broadcast under the assigned call letters WRR. By the end of 1922, twenty-five commercial broadcasting operations had joined educational experimentations which began in 1911, at two university locations in the Lone Star State. At that time the most that the U.S. federal government could do was issue licenses to operate using the Commerce Clause of the 1789 U.S. Constitution.

In 1912 the U.S. passed into law a Radio Act that was administered by the Bureau of Navigation in the U.S. Department of Commerce in order for the USA to participate with other nations in the regulation of wireless signals. Out of this emerged a convoluted system of assigning call signs that in 1929 finally began to settle down to a system whereby transmissions to ships that originated from the west coast of the USA were assigned call letters beginning with 'W', and those on the east coast with call letters beginning with 'K'. Land based radio broadcasting stations were then issued with call letters reversing the nautical assignments.

However, like most bureaucratical decisions made after the material fact of usage, a situation had already developed whereby the demarcation line of call signs was not clear cut. But in 1928, assignments of future land-based call letters east of the Mississippi River which snakes its way from north to south, were to begin with the letter 'W', while everything to its west would begin with the letter 'K'. Unfortunately, this belated decision then created pockets of stations on the "wrong side" of the River with the "wrong first call letter". They were then "grandfathered-in" (which in 2021, some have deemed to be "politically incorrect" terminology! It joins the bastardization of the English language where "Amen" has also been reinterpreted to imply a sexual connotation! This twisting of language does not make communication any easier, it only adds to existing confusion and misunderstanding.)

This realignment of call letters in 1928-1929, resulted in some of the original Texas broadcasting stations having the 'wrong' prefixes. They included WBAP in Forth Worth; WFAA in Dallas; WOAI in San Antonio, and WACO in Waco.

WFAA began transmissions on June 26, 1922 as an entertainment station. It did not carry newscasts because it was owned by the same company that published the daily Dallas Morning News. One of its first dramas was called 'Dramatic Moments in Texas History', which was sponsored by the Magnolia Petroleum Company.

That company was later absorbed by Standard Oil of New York (which eventually became Mobil Oil). Standard Oil of New York was one of John D. Rockefeller's 'splinter' companies that emerged from his shattered Standard Oil Trust.

Coming in successive editions of this continuing serial Blog: How the new 'New Deal' found a sponsor in Texas and the 'Good Ol' Boys' began to assemble as future rulers of Texas; the USA and in their minds, the World.
