Helium CEO: We Want To Help Fix the Newspaper Industry

heliumHelium CEO Mark Ranalli was on the Fox Business show during the 6am hour. I grabbed the clip and embedded it below (no comments on the audio or lamp!). We covered the Helium marketplace last year including a chat with Ranalli. Helium provides a marketplace where writers can post their content, the community decides on the best stories in a topic and then newspapers and other media outlets can buy the content. The content author and Helium share in the generated revenue.

Ranalli noted on Fox that last year their top earner last year made $5,000 and they have thousands of writers earning hundreds of dollars a month. A lot of the stories will earn nothing or next to nothing so to some extent you are placing a lot of content out there in the hopes that some of it gets paid to make up for the stories that don’t get paid.

Ranalli also spoke about deals Helium is working with some of the largest newspaper companies in the U.S. and apparently there are some upcoming deals as well. His goal is to have Helium writers create the lifestyle content (book reviews, movie reviews, etc.) for the newspapers. That will allow the paper to support the writers desk. He did note that they are not trying to solve journalism and that investigative stories should be left to the professionals.

    Helim Staff:

    When Helium cut me off and claimed the copyright to my 150 articles so they could continue to use them for advertising-space revenue without reimbursing me as they had promised, it did not overly concern me as the freeing truth in said articles was still being made available to those who needed it.
    The articles documented “The Elite’s” developing programs to achieve the Georgia Guidstone objectives to reduce the world population to 500 million controlled by an international court.
    My articles revealed “The Elite’s” developing and implementing human-implant tracking-and super computer monitoring of thoughts and emotions contrary to Elite objectives and their ability to locate, redirect, cause suffering and/or eliminate those not serving THEIR “greater good”.
    My articles revealed “The Elite’s” so called free trade program that uses food-price control to starve and oppress third-world populations with corporate control of resources resulting in loss of resources to pay for world-banker false debts of bank credit created from nothing as a means of payment.
    My articles revealed how the banker-owned federal reserve has created bank-credit “debt” (that cannot be proved as a money debt), enabling college students, families, and small businesses to free themselves from the false debt of credit cards and bank-credit loans such as home mortgages;
    My articles fully explained how the economic crisis was orchestarated and caused by the intentional selling of uncollectible subprime loans, threatening secondary markets with bankruptcy, and “justifying” taxpayer gifts of billions of dollars to banks and secondary markets. Wells Fargo (who received 25 Billion of taxpayer money) was targeted by my articles to expose banker’s deceptive practices. An employee of Wells Fargo quit when she realized Wells Fargo had organized a subprime division to sell mortagages with a high probability of failure so they could collect a few payments and sell them to secondary markets for increased profit. This was exposed in a TV interview of the employee!
    My articles also clarify true Christian-gospel principles that frees truth-seekers from the enforced doctrine, moral law and ritual of antichrist priests and pastors in false churches. Islamic jihad threats are also discussed along with “The Elite” orchestrated, U.S. seceret government enabled, false-flag attack, murdering thousands in the twin towers, ‘justifying’ a “war on terror” as an excuse to strip citizens of constitutional freedoms and invade Iraq with lost lives that increased the national debt so the banker-owned Federal Reserve could make more profit and corporations could gain control of Iraq’s resources.
    My articles also revealed the U.S. legislative plan to control world food sources and medical procedures, outlawing those disapproved by newly established government authority, as well as the rapidly decreasing capacity of world food production that is leading to fast-approaching world famine in economies where money will be worthless as there will no longer be resources to buy.
    So why did Helium give up all that lucrative advertising space that the ever-growing popularity of my 150 articles were providing? Why did Helium choose to abandon the truth to serve the lies of “The Elite”? Why did Helium abandon all of its high-sounding “where knowledge dwells” for “where knowledge is oppressed” with the book-burning mentality of a gutless, depraved leadership, controlled by fear of “The Elite”.
    I have warned the spirits who control and empower humans of the Helium staff to restore my articles or be cast into outer darkness. They had three days to do so, which ended Sept 23rd 2009. Now the Helium staff is on their own (uninspired and unempowered). Will they choose to receive empowerment and protection from God, The Father, by asking for it in the name of God, The Son, (Jesus of Nazareth) or will their spirits follow their cast-out, false spirit guides into outer darkness at their impending demise?

  2. The biggest issue to get people to believe in what you are trying to do. You have to be open minded to put your head together with someone else to make something like this possible. The newspaper industry will need a great deal of work.

  3. This is a very interesting idea to help the newspapers. I wonder if he intends to cut deals with some papers over the others. Isn;t this somewhat like what an AP does? Syndicated content? Are they not just undercutting the people already do this?

    I wrote 149 articles for Helium and earned over $50 when they informed me my last article was deleted and I was terminated as it contained some content found in other articles. I find the “deleted” article included as one of the list of my 149 articles on Helium’s website , for which they claim the copyright and are using to create the space for 26 adds for which Helium is getting paidl. It appears it is profit that rules Helium, not knowledge. My 149 articles are highly rated and draw much exposure for hundreds of Helium adds that bring i revenue, while they deny me the payment they promised and cut me off from any future earnings. They are disgustingly mercenary. I feel sorry for those who chose to destroy their character in such a manner.
