Re: Actors Bernard Fox and Alan Thicke have passed

Hobie this is more in response to the tarot card article below.

It points out that the article yesterday about the cabal members being locked up is inaccurate, should we say 'Fake' as in fake news.

That's not the first time I saw that either. And when readers email you about this stuff all you keep saying is that's why it's called rumor mill.

Well that answer no longer flies because your readers sir are what's important...maybe that's why you have so much trouble filling the widget each month. You are fast becoming one of the "fake news" websites spoke of on the web.

When you ignore your readers, you ignore your future and that's exactly what happened to mainstream news.

You don't need to reply to this as I really don't care what you have to say.

(hobie here.) What's happened to mainstream news is that they've been dancing to the tune of Very Important People (including the always rude Gnu Whirled Odor crew and advertisers like Very Big Pharma) to report "the truth as we'd like it to appear", and we the people have begun to realize that's what we've been being fed.

Meanwhile, RMN is doing what it has been doing from the very beginning: seeking the truth of how the world has been being run and reporting on it in whatever ways have been possible - which often has meant and continues to mean that there is no way to verify and confirm the information available to us. (If there were such a way, even mainstream news might have been reporting on it already.)

THAT is why it's "Rumor Mill News" instead of "Verified Fact News".

Are some cabal members locked up? How would we, or you, know, from our position here "in the cheap seats"? Whose "report" about it would you deem acceptably credible? Or, which evidence that they're still walking around free is sufficient to prove to you that reports of their incarceration are fake, even though you're already aware of ample information that there are "doubles" for most such folks and it might be the doubles that one is seeing walking around still free?

Don't you get it? UNLESS YOU HAVE FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE OF THE MATTER, IT'S =ALL= RUMOR. :)

Do we ignore our Readers? Hell, no. But do we tailor how RMN works because one Reader or another says we should do it differently? Hell, no - just as we don't tailor it to keep some advertiser happy (like mainstream media apparently has done) or to make sure no one is 'triggered' by what we post. Think about it for a few moments and you'll realize, you wouldn't want us to.

Blessings, all.
