Michael Ruppert

Recently it has been reported that an investigative journalist who spoke out against the official version of 9/11 has committed suicide.

This was the cause of death given by the authorities.

Michael Ruppert, a 63 year-old former narcotics investigator with the LAPD gained widespread controversy and undoubtedly ruffled a few feathers when he stated that that the CIA and American government were involved in 9/11.

He also published a book called Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil in 2004.

In the book he said that former vice president Dick Cheney had conspired with Wall Street and other government officials over the September 11 World Trade Center attacks.

He also went public about his concerns over the threats to humanity due to the economic and energy crisis in a documentary called Collapse.

Mr Ruppert also publicly confronted the then-CIA Director John Deutch during a meeting in 1995 where he stated that he had witnessed CIA officers involved in drug dealing.

The claims attracted widespread condemnation from official sources. Shortly before his death he moved to an idyllic location in the Rocky Mountains.

Attempts to get more detail over the reported suicide have been unsuccessful. Phone numbers connected to Mr Ruppert’s businesses were disconnected.
