First,
let us dispense with the illusions Rayelan uses to cloak herself and
Rumor Mill News.
Rumor
Mill News is a reposting site. The overwhelming majority of its
agents put up stories originally published elsewhere. Sometimes
they follow the correct rules for usage, sometimes not.
The
Internet has a multitude of reposting sites. RMN is in no way
unique and the time it takes for hot, breaking stories to be noticed
and posted there can lag badly on occasion.
Second,
who is GreyOtter?
Excuse
my cynicism but my first thought was that this is another pseudonym
for Jeff Gordon, AKA Hobie, AKA Zapper. It would be good to see some
proof and stop the use of multiple identities. These do not fool the
CIA or other government agencies. They are only intended to fool RMN
Readers.
And regarding this little gem:

| This is a GreyOtter |
"....and
those readers who think they have the right
to "DEMAND"
rumor mill provide a complete "balance sheet",
try that
with the "Washington Post" or "New York Times".
These
are my own personal thoughts.
GreyOtter"
Perhaps RMN Readers believe if they donate for years and invest in a Family Camp Ground AKA Survival Compound, they have a right to know where their money went. Just guessing!
P.S. The New York Times and Washington Post don't find it necessary to panhandle.
The
Issue of Advertising
When
Rayelan asked me to take over doing the advertising for RMN there was
practically no ad income. I was told Angel was handling it before.
Rayelan said Angel charged $50 a month, no matter what the
placement.
No
accounting was ever produced so I could know what really went on
before my arrival.
Starting
from scratch, I did research and discovered RMN was badly under
pricing its ad space and put together a new tiered plan, including
the banner ads in the middle.
This
was when I discovered many ads were not paid in money. Rayelan
and/or Angel had been giving free ads to their friends, or trading
ads for merchandise. Goods can not be traded to help pay expenses.
This continued, despite my objections.
Since
there were no records I compiled a list of advertisers with dates for
billing. Because Raye has never even admitted I was working for her
I have not made this information available.
Although
I had been told before agreeing to take on the job funds would be
available for making alterations on the site this never happened.
Such alterations would allow the site to yield a far larger income
but nearly as soon as I arrived in Ohio Rayelan suddenly claimed to
be strapped for money. If changes were to happen I could either pay
for it myself or get people to donate their time and resources.
This
was a daunting moment. The Radio Shows were generating income,
however. I brought in new advertisers and in some cases wrote the
ads which were then created, gratis, by J. Griff Griffin. Griff is
fast and very professional, a delight to work with.
Despite
this, I reached out for more advertisers and managed to find some.
But the site still needed upgrading and the number of hits continued
to drop.
Other
sites have multiple pages with regular areas for advertising which
allow the use of a template. This lowers the time it takes to attend
to the advertisers while providing more space for those ads.
Asking
for additional funds from regular Readers for this kind of a site is
just sad.
In
no part of RMN overseen by Rayelan was business carried out in a
professional fashion.
Others, including Griff, and the volunteers do
an excellent job, despite this.
In
addition, Rayelan appears to use all money received as her private
checking account. On several occasions I watched her order items for
her own use and then tell a whopper to Readers to solicit extra
money, too.
Buying
'stuff' not RMN, is Rayelan's main focus in life.
If
the advertising had been handled as is usual for other online
publications no begging, and lying about why funds were needed, if
they actually WERE, would have been necessary.
I
contacted a web developer when I first arrived who offered to do the
needed changes and manage the advertising for the site. I had seen
his own sites and these looked great, loaded fast, and had lots of
space for advertising.
He
looked over the site and offered to make the needed changes, run the
site, and guarantee Rayelan an income of $10,000 a month. He said
there was a lot of unrealized potential. He was not making the offer from a sense of charity, rest assured. Rayelan refused to talk to
him.
Read over the Saga of Rayelan's trip to Ohio from California.
Part
Two – The Saga Continues – with a brief stop in reality.

In
addition, remember the incident with OITC security. Their security
expert told Rayelan RMN is on a CIA server. Rayelan implied she did not know and Jeff Gordon - Hobie - Zapper must have done it. But Rayelan does not move the site.
Thereafter, the folks from OITC
disassociated themselves from Rayelan and RMN.
Some of us would find
this especially disturbing since we have the silly idea the CIA is
opposed to our rights and carried out such violations of human rights such things as MK-Ultra.
Who
is Rayelan, anyway? The Princess of Obergon, come here from another star
system to live over and over again until she finds her soul mate,
Gunther?
The Arch Duchess of Austria through some obscure
understanding of inheritance which makes Wife No. 2 the recipient of
the title even when Wife No. 1 birthed the children and a Wife No. 3
is now Gunther's widow?
How did Gunther get to be the Arch Duke of Austria?
Or
are these strange stories just a way of distracting us from the fact
Rayelan is really a CIA operative muddling along with a
disinformation site which she cannot handle?
Of
course, the death threats and unwillingness to acknowledge any of our
agreements are also rather odd. But everything about Rayelan is
unusual, in my experience.
There
is, however, another possibility.
You
decide.

Readers
have no idea just how expensive it is to
provide the large
webserver, internet connection, labor,
and expertise to
maintain it all.
Reader
Contributions, and Ad Revenues just barely
keep it afloat.
Recently
Ad Revenues have dropped 80-90% !! If the
short fall isn't
corrected, they may be looking at
shutting down.
It's
feasible, to many readers have installed "ad block",
or
"flash block" in their browsers. Yes...ads are
irritating,
but in rumormillnews's case a necessary nuisance.
The
alternative could be "shutdown", or go to a paid
"subscription" service like many news outlets.
If
neither of the alternatives are to your liking,
consider
removing "ad block", and "flash block" from
your
browsers. Or ruling RMN an exception.
Consider
carefully what you do.
....and
those readers who think they have the right
to "DEMAND"
rumor mill provide a complete "balance sheet",
try
that with the "Washington Post" or "New York
Times".
These
are my own personal thoughts.
