This is very sad news. I greatly admired Mr. Ruppert and his tenacity and courage despite what it cost him. He was a truth teller extroadinaire and a true hero of our times.

I was disappointed when he withdrew his interest in 9-11 for the concern about peak oil and collapse because in my view they are intricately related. He however, always tried to help open eyes. He will be missed. Calling all angels.....
