This is Michael Ruppert, and he is saving lives. A retired LAPD officer who graduated at the top of his class, Michaels story is one full of near-prophetic deduction skills and constant benevolence toward his fellow man through the sharing of his information and conclusions. His newsletter, From the Wilderness is available online (www.fromthewilderness.com) and in print. It covers a wide array of vital topics and articles ranging from food sources to fuel, peak oil, and corporate conspiracy. He, "deals in conspiracy fact." He was one of the cops approached by the CIA during their funneling and distribution of drugs in South Central. He has been contacted by many high-ranking officials with warnings and threats, and has been shot at over his dissemination of the truth. He predicted 9/11, and was one of the first to connect the dots regarding the American governments role in the event. He Predicted the economic crash, and our current depression (let's be honest with each other, here, call a spade a spade.) He has a developed, solid, and complete view of our culture, its addictions and sicknesses, and possible methods of solution to avoid extinction, and survive the transition between our current world, and the one we have cause to create, better than and beyond this.
I had the luck of viewing a documentary made last year which serves as a sort of primer covering his life story, his activities and actions, and his point-blank, no-shit, straight forward break down of the world's predicaments.
If Michael Moore were developing his documentaries to their farthest extremes, still well within their most logical paths, and realized the weight of the links between his individual topics and pranks; and while I appreciate and revere pranksters as much as any man, even those to the degree of the Weatherman Underground, he would have the same tired face as Michael Ruppert wears throughout most of this documentary. Ruppert understands. Ruppert, at some points, seems downright and honestly scared as hell. And why not? He's just like any of us, even more so than Moore, or others with the right idea and bank accounts capable of at least trying to solve problems by throwing money at them.
The man used to be a cop. He isn't rich, he's hardly famous, though he is gaining an understanding following, and he doesn't have anything to hide.
An ex-cop. A thirty-year veteran as a self-taught, self-produced journalist in a world which has forgotten the idea of true investigative media. Now he's my hero.
Here's a bit to chew on and whet yer appetite. Please, if you have a couple extra hours, watch this documentary through any available medium. Read some of his articles. Check out the newsletter's site. Donate. There is an eight-video series on YouTube which comprises the entire film, along with other interviews and speeches from Michael. His website, again, is www.fromthewilderness.com. He is an American hero and patriot in the truest sense.
