Michael C Ruppert staged suicide?
When news hit the headlines of a suicide of Michael Ruppert a renowned whistleblower, journalist, commentator, author, he was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to CollapseNet.com people are being urged PLEASE DO NOT SPREAD SPECULATION! If you’ve been listening to iON you’d hear that every death is a suicide so this cause of death is like the truth being announced.
But does that mean one can’t consider the coincidences this event presents? Coincidentally I recently won a prize pack that included a DVD copy of ‘Collapse‘ the critically acclaimed 2009 documentary starring Michael Ruppert, so I watched this a few days ago to see what I could glean.
Was the suicide premeditated, planned, staged or spontaneous, random, strange?
let’s consider the theories
coincidence theory: there is no conspiracy…
If you take it all at face value then you aren’t supposed to second guess the story presented. Michael took his own life with a Glock 30 .45 caliber sub-compact pistol, after recording an episode of his podcast The Lifeboat Hour. Apparently this happened at a friend’s California ranch near a meditation area. He had been threatening this for years, fulfilling an old pledge. He even left a note addressed to Jack:
Mark 1:3 (KJV) | Read whole chapter | See verse in context | The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Maybe, Mike Ruppert has too much weight on his conscious, aside from reporting on the worst of the new world order, he was also a member of the corrupt LAPD in the 1970s, involved in enough that the CIA tried to get him to go along with an international drug smuggling ring.
According to reports, the reason Michael’s death was confirmed by “Napa County Sheriffs” is because Michael was staying in a trailer on his friend, Jack Martin’s, property in Calistoga, California. It was Jack who found Mike’s body resting in an outdoor meditation spot on the property.
coincidence theory: murdered Michael Ruppert, victim of 2012 meme
The movie Collapse paints a picture of Michael Ruppert and the peak oil crisis, and got me thinking about the popular doom-and-gloom genre. If you can convince yourself of an impending global warming climate catastrophe would you be looking for a way out?
Matthew 4:1 (KJV) | Read whole chapter | See verse in context | Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
When i’m mentioning the 2012 genre i’m talking about the Y2K, End timers, Bug-out sack survivalists, end: civ environmentalist mind set that is planning towards a Mad Max, Children of Men, Revolution, the Road type future. On top of that depression is a new age dawning of the Age of Aquarius where everyone everywhere suddenly reconnects with mother earth and lives in harmony with nature and in peace in love. Then when 2012 came-and-went and everything seemed to go along as it had previously, it only makes sense that despair for your predictions would set in.
Dear readers, remember to fear not, there’s an organic farmer in the White House that believes in the audacity of hope.
One of the clues placed in last Sunday’s Lifeboat Hour was during a discussion on hypnosis and meditation trance memes, his co-host’s warning about society hypnotizing people while running meditation, “the whole purpose of the show tonight, is first of all for us, we who are out there, to share with all of, everybody else who’s listening: if you’re having a hard time, that’s probably the way it should be and it is for all of us… how do you care for yourself when this real darkness comes?”
Michael C. Ruppert
At the opening of the show Ruppert spoke of spending the week with a Hollywood film crew working on a pitch video for a TV special, “I was in the Matrix, that’s what it was, I was in the matrix”
coincidence theory: Michael Ruppert is alive
This was a staged suicide, on Michael Ruppert’s final podcast appearance he signs off with “we’ll be back to do this again next week, and we’ll call all angels in the meantime, until then this is Michael C Ruppert tracker of truth loving you, saying goodbye, we’ll see you next week here on the Lifeboat Hour” because he will be broadcasting this week, probably gaining more new listeners than ever from all the heartfelt tribute stories. Michael Ruppert now lives as a digital glimmer, a vast archive of journalism, media, and websites remain forever. Coincidentally, the big movie opening this week TRANSCENDENCE appears to depict a main character transferring his consciousness to the digital world.
Although the character played by Johnny Depp appears to be an evil parody of New World Order front-man Ray Kurzweil, what if this technology exists now? the ghosts in the machine.
According to the movie review in The Sun “(Depp) is about to give a speech at a TED-style conference” Although I don’t think Ruppert did a TED Talk he did do a good job of exposing TEDx after they banned/censored a talk by Graham Hancock about the The War on Consciousness’, psychedelics and the global awakening on The Lifeboat Hour.
“of all the ancestors for the last 5-or-6-thousand years since the god Jehovah separated us from everything else, whether you call yourself Lakota, or Hopi, or bush-man, or buddhist, or hindu, or any druid, or pagan, a wiccan, whatever you call yourself, understanding the interconnectedness of all things we are all GAIAN now.”
Michael Ruppert on The Lifeboat Hour interviewing Graham Hancock
The interview gets into the power of mind altering stimulants like ‘Mother Ayahuasca‘ and Ruppert reveals he’d experimented with DMT and connecting with mother Earth. Both Hancock and Ruppert share a fond admiration for Terrance McKenna, who’s time wave zero theory which coincidentally ran out on December 21st 2012.
Luke 5:16 (KJV) | Read whole chapter | See verse in context | And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

What a pile of shit. Ruppert sadly killed himself because he backed himself into a corner and could see no other way out. Kurzweill isn’t a “NWO frontman” he’s just a fucking nutjob who people listen to because he says what they want to hear.

This article is too weird for words and isn’t even signed by anybody as far as I can tell. Whoever wrote it needs a serious refresher course in English: “Too much weight on his conscious” (maybe ‘conscience’ would convey something comprehensible?); ” … who’s time wave theory …” (maybe ‘whose’ would work better?)
And what’s with all the biblical references?

I into every wacky conspiracy webpage out there, and this is too far fetched even for me.
He was clinically depressed. In a recent Vice video he told the camera, he paid off all his debts, gave away his dog, he’s flat broke, AND he said ‘I’m ready to die’.
This was a suicide. I’ve read at least two demeaning articles about his death including this one:
http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.ca/
He was a hero; suicide is a way out of the madness. No one can say our civilization is sane. There’s only so much a person can take.

In ancient Greek philosophy, one of the main differences between the Stoics and the Epicureans was that the former former accepted suicide as a ‘solution’ when hardship becomes unbearable while the latter refused it. I prefer the Epicureans on several points but not this one. By the way, the meaning the term ‘Epicurean’ has taken on today has exactly NOTHING to do with the way the philosophy was lived back then. It was in fact a simple and frugal life, observing the heated political debates of their time (in which the Stoics took part) with detachment and equanimity. The present-day transformation of the the term designating a debauched lifestyle is just one more example of how words can be twisted, stood on their heads, when people have no cultural memory.

Greer’s essay does not demean Ruppert’s death.

Ten years from now… nobody will remember this man. But they’ll still remember Vincent.

From Bill gates to poutine and obama,there is a ong list of people that would be well inspired to follow this very wise example.

It appears Ruppert was experiencing mental pain and anguish probably as part of a mental condition. One cannot judge mental conditions too harshly. The power of brain chemicals within the brain are a mixed bag. A person can be very creative and productive but live on the knife edge of crazy. Bi-polar live with the pressure of moods to create and destroy. I would rather not judge this guy nor judge suicide. There are times when the pain is beyond what we can take. There are times when we are old and terminally ill that closure is preferable to the pain. I wonder about our global suicide we are practicing. How can we clarify and analysis what we are doing to ourselves as a species. It is clearly a slow suicide in motion.

Michael Ruppert was a heavy smoker and whenever he spoke you could clearly hear his chronic bronchitis caused by smoking. Why do intelligent and environmentally engaged people love to inhale carcinogenic fumes from cigarettes? Smoking is very destructive for both, body and spirit. If you really care for the natural biosphere you must appreciate your own health to be credible.

I have read most of the “tributes” by his conspiracy peers, on social media and various blogs. Curiously, these are the same people who excoriated, lambasted him in the not too distant past, often publicly, as they fought over who was to be crowned conspiracy king (or queen), and/or, who was indeed to make the most money. In reviewing these emails I found the last ones, where he was slammed for knowingly taking money from terrorist fronts, by the same people “crying” over him now and lauding his work and wondered if someone should publish some of those choice words they had for his work a mere few years ago.
Looked for it, but have not seen much from those who actually did work on his “big stories”. Or those who were the sources of his big stories. None to be found saying a word about his suicide.
Some of those who were on the receiving end of his rotten side, which apparently was all the time he was not threatening suicide, have indeed spilled their guts recently, not in a really bad way, just setting the record straight I suppose about the real MCR.
Mike was always someone in so much need of structure, and money, and attention, amd psychiatric help through all of his life, it appears he was an easy mark for those in the power-wars who needed a patsy to put out something well-written, to confuse the masses, to detract the attention from the many legal cases for 9/11 which were hitting when MCR did the switch to Peak Oil, using the elephant herd metaphor. In so ding, he managed to derail the biggest 9/11 cases which would have blown open both left and right, and led right to the very elite MCR was trying to expose.
But that’s the way it’s always been forever, and will always be, I suppose. MCR only perpetuated the status quo, just look around you. Who benefited, is the bottom line. They did, from his “work”.
Mike was too unstable – body – mind and soul to be “an agent” but he was used nontheless. Period.
HOWEVER.
This transference of consciousness crap to excuse his suicide, to elevate it into something more “precious” is complete BS. One can’t just decide to become the most advanced spiritual practitioner out there, a sage up there with the sages of all time, and decide to pull an extreme move. He was a nutcase, that’s how his detractors described him in emails, those who currently have gone on record as being so sad over his suicide.
This suicide might have been faked, and we hope the Sheriff’s office has done DNA analysis to irrefutably prove the body was MCR’s, and some some poor homeless slob so often found in them thar hills. I wouldn’t put it past MCR to have pulled a walk-out of the MCR life, his extreme debts, and a walk-in to another life, courtesy fake ID’s etc. Rio anyone? How about Thailand?
I hope his many relatives in the CIA who are in the identical business he is in – and live a mere hop skip and jump away from Tubbs Lane – start paying their debts and issue long overdue apologies. Pay as you go karma is a -itch.

XYZ sounds like a shill, talking about how Ruppert was “used” with (of course) no specifics.
