It seems that MONGO, the self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner on the subject of attack sites, has reversed himself from yesterday and now considers WikiTruth to be an attack site (although the article on it was speedy-kept when nominated for deletion yesterday by an apparent single-purpose troll account). He's now going through the site in a rampage suppressing WikiTruth links from various and sundry user, talk, and archive pages, an activity that's always good for getting support for getting rid of the silly attack-site-link ban, not to mention attracting more attention to the attack sites themselves in the process.

Oh great, we're in for another couple of object lessons in troll feeding.

The great cabal - what is it? admins who can tear each others jugulars out or esperanzans that wanted a wikilove (but formed a massive inter-wikilove organisation)? its old its boring

How odd. A userid was created yesterday which nominated the Wikitruth article for deletion, based on BADSITES, and a bunch of none-too-convincing arguments. It's about the most obvious example of a straw man nomination I've seen in a while; I hope I am not accused of trying to revise history by saying that.
As for drawing attention to the site, it's pretty clear that both the nomination, and in particular your advertising the site on this list, will have far more of an effect in this regard. Was that your intent?
Well, we still have an article on the site (with the link intact even). As for speculations about the mystery editor, the list of suspects is too long to take any specific theories seriously.
