Note to Readers:
After 6 years, I have been permanently banned from posting on Rumor Mill News (RMN at www.rumormillnews.com ) after receiving email from a fictitious name writing from the U.S. Army Intelligence. The note began by specifically saying that the sender would recommend to Rayelan of RMN that I "not be allowed to post."
The note came from the home of U.S. Army Intelligence at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The note, which came through the RMN website, was a rather incoherent response to my critical article about the republishing of the anti-Islamic cartoons in Denmark. The writer at Fort Huachuca, using the fictitious name "Herb Lane," began his Valentine's Day note thusly:
Re: IS DENMARK BEING SET UP? Why a Nation Known for Pork is Attacking Islam Personally I would recommend to Rayelan that you not be allowed to post.
I saw that this bizarre note was not really coming from a private citizen named "Herb Lane" but came from a U.S. military computer at the training center for U.S. Army Intelligence. As an American with a strong sense of the right of free speech, I was naturally incensed.
Valentine's Day is also my birthday and I understood this was my present from U.S. Army Intelligence, where Mark Lane of American Free Press also happened to begin his career.
I posted a quick note about this hate mail from U.S. Army Intelligence on Rumor Mill News under the title "Bollyn Receives Anti-Islamic Hate Mail from U.S. Army Intelligence."
See: www.rumormillnews.com/cgi....cgi?noframes;read=119027
The writer from Fort Huachuca exhibited the rabid anti-Islamic world view that has long contaminated the thinking of the U.S. military.
The writer from U.S. Army Intelligence is evidently on a first-name basis with Rayelan, who runs Rumor Mill News. In any case, Rayelan was very quick to heed his recommendation. Within hours of this posting I was permanently "decomissioned" from RMN.
When I discovered that I was unable to post on RMN, I wrote to Rayelan:
Dear Rayelan, How odd. I am unable to log onto RMN the day after the U.S. Army Intelligence said I should be banned. Have I been banned from RMN? If not, how can I log on? Please advise.
Within hours I received this termination notice from Zapper, the webmaster at RMN:
...We appreciate your hard work and efforts over the years, even in the face of some pretty severe personal consequences you've endured. The decision to decommision you, however, is final. - Zapper
Is "Rayelan" a.k.a. Raye Allan Dyer Russbacher (nee Smith) , the widow of John Norvell Dyer, the former professor of physics and dean of the U.S. Navy's Postgraduate School at Monterey (1961-87), now taking orders from U.S. Army Intelligence? It certainly looks that way.
