-
- I notice on your web site, you are listing Rense.com
and ConspiracyPlanet.com as spreading unreliable information. These two
web sites are telling 75% more truth than mainstream media.
-
- You've also listed iacenter.org(IAC) as an extremist
group. Isn't the IAC run by former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark? Why
didn't you post that Ramsey Clark is involved with IAC?

- Gee, Jeff...
-
- Look at all the fine people supporting you. Even some
whose opinions I completely abhor. But that makes it all the more important
for the Rense.Com site. To be in a position to support a man who can afford
to publish both sides of the story.
-
- You know my politics quite well. I am also aware that
recently, I've changed my opinion on certain matters which PTR (Prior To
Rense), I accepted at face value. You've been instrumental in that change.
-
- No. I'm still Conservative. I can't change that much.
Just thinking of say, Hillary Rotten as president or even Senator makes
me want to holler out yesterday's soup. And thinking of Liberal views (in
general) always creates within me feelings similar to that experienced
during a twenty-four hour stomach virus. An exaggeration to make a point,
is all.
-
- Anyway, that this writer can support Jeff Rense in light
of so much on your site to which I disagree, is a testimony to you, the
man.
-
- You've always done right by anyone with whom you've interacted.
It's those with whom you've interacted who fail you, not the other way
around.
-
- My most sincere congratulations on making the big time.

- Let's use the State Department's own criteria and compare
it with a real-life, bonafide, proven Conspiracy perpetrated by no less
than the Commander In Chief/President of the United States, Richard M.
Nixon:

- How to Identify Misinformation
-
- How can a journalist or a news consumer tell if a story
is true or false? There are no exact rules, but the following clues can
help indicate if a story or allegation is true.
-
- * Does the story fit the pattern of a conspiracy theory?
- What Woodward and Bernstein published certainly did!
To most ears at that time, it sounded preposterous.
-
- * Does the story fit the pattern of an "urban legend?"
- Most Americans regarded their assertions of such high
crimes and misdemeanors as nothing more than a politically biased fairy
tale... in the beginning.
-
- * Does the story contain a shocking revelation about
a highly controversial issue?
- YES, the Watergate conspiracy contained one shocking
revelation about a highly controversial issue after another -- even the
very dignity and veracity of the highest office in the land!
-
- * Is the source trustworthy?
- Was Deep Throat regarded by critics of the W&B
story as 'trustworthy'? Hardly.
-
- * What does further research tell you?
Further research at the time hit carefully devised brick walls, until
enough bricks came tumbling down and confessions ensued, thanks to Dean
-- and lid was blown off.
-
- This 'Conspiracy' HAPPENED. It was REAL. It was no 'urban
legend.' Richard Nixon and his immediate staff were involved in the cover-up
of a self-devised plot of a criminal nature against the opposing political
party making use of the powers of the office of the Presidency to skirt
the law and cover their tracks. They were caught. HOW? By the diligence
of two news reporters willing to take the heat, mockery and insults until
the truth was borne out, and the brave backing of their publishers.
I'm sure the "State Department" was none too happy with W&B/Washington
Post then either!
When nay-sayers toss up the "C" word as if to nullify an issue,
just remind them of Watergate, or of the fact that between 1932 and 1972,
a federal government study based in Tuskegee, Ala., charted the effects
of untreated syphilis by withholding treatment from 399 African-American
men who were unaware they were infected with the disease. An Associated
Press reporter exposed the unethical experiment in 1972 and last year President
Bill Clinton offered a belated formal apology to the families who suffered.
Remind them of Iran-Contra. Remind them of the 1935 The Pellagra Incident.
After millions of individuals die from Pellagra over a span of two decades,
the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts to stem the disease. The director
of the agency admits it had known for at least 20 years that Pellagra is
caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to act since most of the deaths
occurred within poverty-stricken black populations. Remind them of Project
Paperclip, 1945. The U.S. State Department, Army intelligence, and the
CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities
in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States.
Remind them.

- Dear Mr. Rense,
-
- I could not understand why USINFO would be so stupid,
to 'shoot themselves in the leg' by publicizing your website which is now
recognized worldwide, as the worlds #1 news website.
-
- The wide variety of special journalists, ex-military,
ex-intelligence, Israelis, Arabs, Jews, who post on your website is making
you the most unique and most reliable website on the planet. Period.
-
- So, I decided to google on USINFO, since I never heard
about them before:
-
- To my surprise, I found out that USINFO is actually USDISINFO,
running out of two websites in Sweden and Switzerland, out of all places!
http://www.allamericanpatriots.com (Sweden) http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/dbc.nsf/doc100?OpenForm
(Switzerland) (over 90% of the google results came from just these two
websites !!!)
-
- Your readers can get these results by googeling USINFO
@ News @ sort by date
-
- Keep up your good work,

- Hi Jeff, congratulations!
-
- I laughed when I read the Misinformation guidelines on
the State Dept website. Too bad those guidelines arn't applying to our
lying Commander In a Golf Cart. IMO, he's the worst pResident of my generation.
Bush and his cronies have looted the nation and they smile at us as they
continue leading us into permanent servitude.
-
- I've only been following your site for 3 years, but you
have proven to be a better journalist than any mainstream media (MSM) and
many of us have learned a great deal from your site and radio show.
-
- I really liked the suggestion of a lawsuit. You would
nail them if you took them to court and went before a jury. Your archives
could put the lying greedy criminals away if we actually had an honest
justice system.
-
- Keep up the good work, the criminals are getting nervous!!
-
- Peace, Mark

-
- The State Department http://usinfo.state.gov which has
declared Rense.com the top 'disinfo' site, is also linking to an article
from *Rense.com* to *bolster their claim* that there was airplane wreckage
at the Petnagon!
-
- In other words, they're also using Rense.com as a REFERENCE!
-
- See: http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jun/28-581634.html
-
- and you can find the link in the section of the article:
"*Plane Debris Found at Pentagon Crash Site"*
-
- The article link they use as a reference is: http://www.rense.com/general32/phot.htm

- I think it is great that the State Dept. is spending
so much money to tell us what is real on the net and what is not. Aren't
you thrilled to be in the spotlight? Guess we long-time supporters better
wise up now, don't cha think?
-
- ...and yes of course we can beleive what the gum'mint
tells us, right? ; )
-
- Well, Congratulations on getting them exposed to the

- Jeff --
- We are, it seems, betrayed by the country we serve...
-
- I can only quote E.M. Forster, who wrote on the eve of
the second World War:
-
- "Personal relations are despised today. They are
regarded as bourgeois luxuries, as products of a time of fair weather which
is now passed, and we are urged to get rid of them and dedicate ourselves
to some movement or cause instead. I hate the idea of causes, and if I
had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope
I should have the guts to betray my country..."
-
- This "boy scout" and "war hero" stands
with you, Jeff, for what that's worth, and finds it ironic that it is you
singled out as an enemy of the state given the egregious behaviors of the
Bush Crime Family, its culture of extreme ineptitude, and the distortions
of its religious "right."
-
- I stand with you, Jeff. True patriotism is defending
your country all the time and your government only when it deserves it.
It is you performing the service, Sir, not your dodgy detractors and scurrilous
critics. You are not alone.

top of the state dept's list. But as the expression goes - "It's a
dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it"

-
- Dear Jeff,
-
- The State Department should stick to foreign affairs.
If they really found you, your website and talk show so objectionable,
they would have done much better by simply ignoring you. They are inept
in handling adverse criticism. They don't go into any specifics about you
and the issues you raise lest there be a ruckus.
-
- Have you thought of suing them? You would need to show
a jury evidence proving what you posted about, say, missing videotapes
at the Pentagon, Logan, Newark and Dulles airports on 9/11, is NOT disinformation
and is an issue very much in the public's interest in determining why our
nation went to war and why it lacked certain information at the time it
was making a decision to go to war.
-
- You could subpoena witnesses and records about these
items. That's just for starters.
-
- Since these people at State are not specific and paint
you with a broad brush as some kind of disinformation agent, you could
help them define the issues at controversy. Of course, you have to show
you have been harmed. Many people will just accept the word of the State
Department because it is a prestigious institution and as a result be disinclined
to go to your website or enterain the issues that are raised there. That
is undue influence tarnishing your credibility and therefore your effectiveness
in doing what you do. Let the law make these people make their case about
you or suffer the consequences.
