Hi, Folks -

: Leaked documents reveal government blueprint for destroying
: online reputations through elaborate smear campaigns

The linked article in the above post discusses how government "trolls" are sent forth into cyberspace to control and alter the nature of discourse and in some cases to discredit individuals by a number of informational techniques.

When Rumor Mill News first came online, it was a place where everyone was free to post and join in the discussion. Here's a portion of what Agents read and agree to on becoming Agents:

=====

In the past, Rumor Mill News has caused tremendous grief and heartache to certain people. As a result of this, members of their "family", both bloodline and payroll, have made it their business to see that Rumor Mill News is discredited and disrupted as much as possible. Rumor Mill News has been consistently attacked by:

"Vacuum Cleaners" a euphemism from the intelligence world that describes people who "befriend" whistle blowers in the guise of reporters, film agents, fellow investigators or concerned friends and supporters; for the sole purpose of bleeding every drop of information they can from a targeted individual. This information is then passed up the line.

"Disinformation Agents" whose purpose it is to sow doubt in an attempt discredit the information being put out by Rumor Mill News.

"Time consumers" whose questions and information are so good that much time is spent walking down roads that lead no where, but are extremely interesting. The purpose of the "time consumer" is to consume so much time that nothing can be written or published.

"Trained psychological Agents" whose purpose is to identify sensitive emotional buttons and press them as often as possible, thereby disabling writers and investigators who have sensitive and painful personal issues. This prevents the writers from doing their work. In some cases, it makes the writer lash out at attackers, and thereby discredit themselves.

All of the above tactics, as well as others, have been used on the Rumor Mill since it was created in June of 1996. The Creators of the Rumor Mill, Gunther Karl Russbacher and Rayelan Allan (Russbacher), were used to these types of attacks since they had been victim to them since 1961 and 1989 respectively.

When the new Rumor Mill News Webpage was put up in September of 1999, a new feature was added The Rumor Mill News Reading Room.

The Reading Room was added for several reasons:

To encourage serious researchers, investigators and whistle blowers to post their information in an arena that is widely read by other researchers and investigators. By sharing our pieces of the puzzle, we can assist each other in exposing the massive conspiracy that threatens us.

To allow Rumor Mill Readers an opportunity to dialogue with RMNews writers, sources and investigators.

To facilitate information delivery from our Sources who are forced to live in the Shadows.

To allow RMNews readers to share news stories and information discovered in other news outlets and arenas.

As a place to read breaking news stories posted by our "agents" from around the World.

Unfortunately, the RMNews Reading Room came under attack by "vacuum cleaners", "disinformation agents", "time consumers", cyber terrorists, and by a new breed of Internet attackers and disruptors, the "Internet graffiti taggers" who filled the Reading Room stupid posts which said nothing, mean nothing and merely took up space on the bulletin board.

RMNews believes these "taggers" are low level government agents because no informed individual who understands the purpose of the Rumor Mill could possibly post such disruptive and stupid nonsense.

It is obvious to all who are connected with the Rumor Mill that the attack which closed down the first Reading Room was orchestrated by groups who would prefer to see the Reading Room permanently closed or discredited. Either these people are on the government payroll, or they are psychologically unbalanced.

=====

This is why the Reading Room today allows posting only by commissioned RMN Agents.
