Michael Ruppert's Come Back

Just when most followers of Fromthewilderness.com thought Michael Ruppert was never going to get active again, here he is with a new book, called 'A Presidential Energy Policy'now available on Amazon, and a new documentary, Collapse.

I'm intruiged by this former detective who followed and spoke out about CIA drugs dealing for decades. He wrote an 700-page optimally court admissible case for prosecuting Cheney on 9/11, and during his investigations took up the issue of peak oil as it played a part in the motives for 9/11 and what followed. He predicted the burst of the housing bubble as early as 2005 and told all his listeners in the US to get out of debt. Now, he wrote a book about the radical essentials of energy policy. We should be paying attention. Obviously, I haven't read the book yet, but Colin Campbell and Cynthia McKinney, to name a few, have already had a peek:

Michael Ruppert does not mince his words writing a stirring and uncompromising book on a vital issue. He addresses some simple but widely ignored concepts relating to the critical role of oil and gas in the modern world. First, they are finite resources, formed in the geological past, being therefore subject to depletion. Second, they have to be found before they can be produced, such that the peak of discovery, which is long past, must deliver a corresponding peak of production.(..)

It is a perceptive, stimulating and very readable book covering a subject of critical importance. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of everyone from the school teacher to the chief executive; from the bishop to the politician and world leader.

All I can say about A Presidential Energy Policy is, "Yikes!"

This is a book everyone should read.

Mike Ruppert is my friend. And, sometimes I remind him, in a way that only a friend can, that my perspective is colored by my own distinct experiences as an informed woman of color in the United States. And frankly, that means that some of what is between these covers makes me cringe; but it is exactly this substance, actively suppressed in proposed national and international gatherings, that we human beings must debate and resolve, or else, we will find Dr. King's admonition, once again, to be true: "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

We know Mike Ruppert because he became a whistleblower and told us some inconvenient truths. About crack cocaine, 9/11/01, and now this -- how to step back from the brink of human disaster.

It is clear that Mike and I are headed toward the same destination, despite our differences. A Presidential Energy Policy lands Mike exactly where I am -- outside of the box of political orthodoxy, but well within the space of policy advocacy that is representative of critical thinking, rational analysis, and authentic leadership. Mike Ruppert dares to go where our elected leaders seem afraid to take us. In the end, however, if we are to salvage our own human dignity, either our "leadership" must catch up with us or we must become and nurture a new generation of leaders.
