RumorMill News Radio

Gunther and Rayelan Allan Russbacher Founded Rumor Mill News in 1996 as a Print Magazine. After Gunther disappeared, in December of 1996, Rayelan discontinued it as a magazine. She started Rumor Mill News again in 1998 as an internet newsletter. In 1999 she launched it as a webpage. It has become one of the Internet’s most popular webpages.

Gunther Russbacher was a CIA operative. Rayelan was a lecturer and investigator who worked with Barbara Honegger, the author of the first book on the October Surprise scandal. When Gunther and Rayelan married in 1989, the Bush Administration panicked. As a result, Gunther became the most famous political prisoner of the George H.W. Bush administration. Russbacher was the pilot who flew Bush back from the negotiations in Paris that finalized the October Surprise. Rayelan was an investigator who was working to expose the October Surprise!

From 1989 to late 1996, when he disappeared, Gunther spent all but 9 months of their marriage in prison! During that time, there were numerous attempts to kill both of them. Their lawyer and friend Paul Wilcher WAS murdered! Gunther’s sons were beaten and jailed, he was told they would be gang raped if he talked. Rayelan was charged with trespassing on a military base and faced prison. To keep her out of prison, where he was told she would be murdered, Gunther pled guilty!

The story of what they went through is compelling!
