17. Absolutely...and eternal peace to you, Michael...

...you told the truth at a very high personal cost: your health, your ability to earn a living, your peace of mind, and now ultimately, your life. You were responsible for some of the best investigative journalism this country has produced (specifically, the From The Wilderness newsletter, Crossing The Rubicon, and others), and you did not sell out your convictions. You left tools for us to use in the continuing struggle against rampant corporatism and consumerism that is destroying our planet as I write this. You left a positive mark on me, and I'm sure millions of others like me who see what's coming, in large part because of your work.

I wish I would have had the opportunity to meet you. Now that I no longer have that chance, I can only say in absentia:

Thank you, Michael C. Ruppert. For Everything.
And Rest in Eternal Peace.
