Michael Ruppert Found Dead

Too Many "Suicides" From Key Investigators

Michael Ruppert Found Dead: Alleged Suicide
The Question Now Is, Was It Really Suicide?
NewsFocus, Op-Ed by Tim Watts - 041814

Outspoken whistleblower Michael Ruppert is dead at the age of 63 from a gunshot to the head, alleged to be suicide. The former LAPD narcotics officer who made headlines when he publicly confronted CIA Director John Deutch over the agency's involvement in drug running in the US.

He gave frequent lectures on CIA drug running and was also a 9/11 truth advocate, featured in the film The Truth & Lies of 9/11. He was also featured in the peak oil documentary 'Collapse' about peak oil and the energy crisis.

Ruppert was the founder of FromTheWilderness.com and also wrote the critically acclaimed book Crossing The Rubicon.

His comment in the movie 'Collapse' was... "That message is the single most important thing in my life."

This is why suicide just seems so odd.

To me, this does not make sense. If you're going to kill yourself, why do your radio show first?

In doing the show, why not say something, like goodbye folks?

Veiled references throughout the show are just not clear enough for this genre of investigators and Mike surely knew that.

Instead he says, "We'll see you next week on the Lifeboat Hour."

Mike was a trained policemen and investigator. He knew the uproar that his death would cause, let alone a suicide.

So it just seems to me that he would make a closing remark like that, because it would surely be remembered by his fans, thus obfuscating his personal intent and creating unnecessary suspicion.

Mike knew there would be conspiracy allegations over his death, so a simple heads up during his last broadcast would have been a no-brainer, rather than, "We'll see you next week."

We're expected to believe that he would put an alleged good friend through all of the scrutiny, suspicion and allegations afterwards, by trusting her to tell everyone it was all planned?

Really?

When he could have left a video recording, or maybe something a little more conclusive?

The reason I say video is because, due to his 9/11 research, Mike surely knew about voice morphing technology, so he more than likely understood that any suicide remarks from him would be greatly scrutinized. 

Mike knew this all too well. So again, why would he possibly do something like that, without conclusive irrefutable evidence from him, in order to stop the unnecessary conspiracy talk?

Some would say that he thought this through very carefully. I would beg to differ, due to the myriad questions that have been posed since his death.

All I can say is that I have a hard time with someone dancing around with their intent when it's going to be their last broadcast.

It just does not make sense. Suicide never does.

Taken in context with his battle with the CIA, his research into 9/11, and his continued investigation into the peak-oil energy crisis, it would seem that Ruppert would have thought more carefully about the fallout over his death.

Sadly though, so far, there has been very little fallout, if any at all. That disturbs me to a great degree, because it would be a shame if his enemies had concocted the perfect plan to eliminate a formidable antagonist, and no one questions it all.

In light of all the reporters and investigators that have been mysteriously killed over the last few years, to see such blind acceptance on the part of the independent media is quite galling. It's most unsettling to see researchers accept this.

I realize that I could very well be wrong in all of the above. I'm not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. The story and details of his alleged suicide could all be true, but then again... considering the breadth and scope of his investigations, I just have to wonder.

I posted the following video because I think it conveys Mike's resolve, very clearly. This is why some people question suicide.

Wherever the real answer lies, all I can say rest in peace Mike. Despite the contention from many 9/11 activists, we will continue without you, but we will always remember the good things you brought to the table.

R.I.P. Detective Michael Ruppert

This makes it hard to believe that his death was a suicide.
