It is badly down, by the way.
How much is www.rumormillnews.com worth?

As of today I am no longer a member of the Rumor Mill News forum, an alternative news site. My posting name there was nFormedSources.
Of late, Rayelan Allen - the publisher of RMN has been on a spree of banning agents from her forum. The stated reasons vary. But the real reason is that the imperial system is under pressure because of events in Iraq, and anyway Rumor Mill News was past its sell-by date as a vehicle for spinning disinformation
All this may be news to you, although rumors about the Rumor Mill have been increasingly ventilated on the Internet over the last year. If you ever visited the site you may have seen a lot of interesting anti-establishment material posted there. Could it be a disinfo site?
Let me give those unfamiliar with these affairs, an outline of the disinformation tactics used to twist your perceptions of what is going on in the world. A little background first.
To understand what is going on, you need to know the establishment's tactics for dealing with the flood of information freely available on the Internet. It boils down to this: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
Fact is, there is no way to stop information coming out on the Internet. And they know it. The Net is too leaky, so any attempt to squelch information would only draw attention to the very material in question.
And so they have invested heavily in the Internet. They own websites, activist groups, political commentators, analysts, writers. The lot. The same tactics used to penetrate mainstream media have been used on alternative media --and some. A small army of online con artists are deployed in this manner. It's a big budget enterprise which has covered the Internet in pseudo alternative websites.

Sorry Melinda, I made some mistakes in this link below
Delete< a href="http://www.breakfornews.com/RumorMillNews.htm!>BrakForNews< /a>
first I put blanks at the beginning and the end, intentionally, to make the whole link visible
otherwise it would be rejected during upload
second I made 2 mistakes that should not have happened, typed ! instead of " and then forgot the e in Brak
BreakForNews
the preview now showed me the embedded link would work, will see
So, we have established that Raye (Rayelan Allan) Allan Smith, ignores any degree of accountability to stay firmly in control of the ongoing dialog at RMN. I suggest that others had to have noticed this and modified their behavior (been brought under control) if being a part of the 'Rumor Mill News Family' meant anything to them. Some family. Keep your mouth shut or we cut your throat.

DeleteWell, I published it as its own post so the problem is taken care of. I certainly did see exactly what Fintan meant. I've known for a long time about 20% of any incoming activists would be disinformation agents or operatives. We started having the problem in the 70s for the LP. The CIA et al pretty much ignore them now. They do an excellent job of shooting themselves in the foot so expenditure of funds to accomplish the goal is not necessary. But I always wondered how many ways Michael Emerling Cloud was being paid.
Thanks for the comment!
