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.

      www.BreakForNews.com/RumorMillNews.htm <---- this one working

      is highlighted/active and linking to the target. (www. not highlighted, should better be included in the marking)

      What I meant was the highlighted and active but NOT linking to the target line on top of the article under the headline

      Break For News - Fintan Dunne

      From: BreakForNews <-- hightlighted but not working because of wrong, superfluous attachment

      the URL underneath
      http://www.breakfornews.com/RumorMillNews.htm!%3EBrakForNews <--- wrong part at the end

      like this it would be okay:
      http://www.breakfornews.com/RumorMillNews.htm

      and now the URL embedded with HTML code

    I'm sorry about that mistake on the Chip-in.

    I ONLY Need $3500.00 NOT $350,000.00 - But I Need $160.00 TODAY

    I've got bills that are WAY overdue but all I need right now is $160.00. One of my workers is leaving town. I owe her much more than $160.00, but that's all she needs for this trip.

    If you can help, I would certainly appreciate it.

    This move will save me MORE money than you have any idea. I will explain all once the move is complete.

    Thank you so much for all the help you have given me throughout the 19 years RMN has been around.

    2016 will be our 20th anniversary!! We need to plan something special!!

    Here's the Fundrazr widget -- Thank you!!

    AND ANOTHER


    You have to click on the Chip-in to see what my last comment was about

    I said in the above post that I only need $3500.00 -- NOT $350 thousand.

    Only contributors will understand this because the only place you will see the glitch in my languaging is on the link below which is the link you will see when you click the Fund Razr widget to contribute.

    Here is what the widget says:

    0% raised of $350k goal

    What it should say is the goal is $3500.00

    35 hundred... NOT 35 thousand!!

    If you CAN afford to contribute today, I will truly appreciate it!!
