It's really disturbing to me - after a 5 year absence as a news agent of RMN - to return to a forum readership who obviously are more concerned about total fantasy (judged by subject hit counts) rather than alternative news reality.

In case any reader thinks I'm speaking against the "prosperity" or "Farm" investment programs, I was (and I guess still am) a fully committed investor. I was so committed that I had to declare bankruptcy because I invested all my life savings and my family farm into those "Christian" contractual pledges promising 50-100% returns in only a few years.

Don't ANYONE dare lecture me until you've walked my path - and lived in a roach infested 19' used Nomad camper trailer with young children in a cow pasture without electric or water as I and my family have - as a direct result of those alphabet agent thieves, banksters, and charlatans who stole our third generation farm from us...

And I truly consider we were extremely fortunate compared to so many others we knew.

For those who remember the not-so-distant past here on RMN, this site was the top 3 of alternative NEWS sources right up there with the best of the best in 2001.

What is RMN now? It's apparently the premier site for SOAP OPERA and Oprah style "whoo-aah" postings of anonymous mis and dis information shrills who promise prosperity and equality for all, but who have NEVER delivered ANYONE what their empty words have promised. That's what a shrill is by any name.

Rayelan created this internet site to bring reality to the internet... to bring the alternative news "rumors" of the non-government controlled media to light so that the entire world could read (and surely DID read) what the mainstream media dared not speak about.

That was Rayelan's mission and it still is. The courageous military men in Rayelan's life knew the truth and Raye has always had the heartfelt mission to speak out for them... and she still does.

The majority of the seasoned, yet still active, "agents" of RMN have become dormant. I've had many emails from them since I returned a month or so ago telling me to walk softly and that "RMN isn't what it used to be". I have to agree - but only on the surface.

From outward appearance, this is no longer the RMN Rayelan put her heart and soul into founding. It's outwardly become an internet gossip site like so many of the other fantasy internet sites.

This is why the still active and well seasoned RMN NEWS agents need to come out of their slumber and start posting alternative news again.

RMN used to be THE place for subjective media news. At this time, it's more important now that this be brought to the forefront.

I speak for many seasoned "old timer" RMN News Agents when I say the era of Casper, Ghost, the Wizard, or whatever "seer" over the past few years is no match for the hard-hitting alternative news we RMN News Agents can and WILL, from now on, offer to RMN readers.

If you're looking for cotton candy, I think you need to read elsewhere from now on. If you're looking for hard hitting alternative media news, then just watch RMN from now on.

I have faith in my fellow RMN News Agents that we can and WILL bring to you the uncensored news that was the foundation of this internet site.

RMN will become better than ever if my faith in fellow RMN news agents is correct...
