Mike Ruppert addresses those police officers who have begun a campaign of violent and brutal attacks at some of the Occupy Wall Street protesters around the country, and around the world.

1. Thanks!
All protest movements experience abuse from the hands of the lackeys for the powers-that-be, of one sort or another, but if WE join our voices loudly, via letters, faxes, phone calls, petitions, and joining OWS physically, REFUSING TO BACK DOWN, and forcing the MEDIA to report all of this, there will be almost no abuse.


It's SO IMPORTANT to report any abuse on the Internet! So important to let our voices be heard in protest to abuse!

5. Absolutely
Those who aren't carrying signs or speaking need to bring recording equipment and film our little hearts out, then post every minute online. In 2004, the NYPD tricked election protesters into moving off of the ground they had a permit to protest on so that the police could arrest them and hold them, outdoors, behind fences, like kenneled dogs. People filmed it. All of it. The lies the police told, the arrests, the pens. And when police tried to claim that their victims resisted arrest, those videos, filmed by the protesters, exonerated the victims and condemned the police as liars. If you have nothing else, even cell phone video might capture something that proves who is in the right in a situation and who is lying.

7. One more thing
As a rule, I despise vice cops, narcotics cops included. What adults want to do with their own bodies, or to their bodies is their business and the drug war has reduced our freedoms in this country tremendously over the past decades.

So given that, I never thought I'd add a former narcotics officer to my rather short list of heroes. But I think I have today.

9. I know what you mean; I never thought I'd be posting advice to
anybody from a narcotics officer. I just hope the video gets seen by cops, not just people like us.

13. I read his book Crossing The Rubicon back in 06 he had too back out for awhile due to threats
Whistler Blower Michael C. Ruppert ex CIA officer and author of Crossing The Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil. Published in September 2004 and is one of the three best-selling books globally and in the US about the attacks of 9/11. Rubicon is the only book to show that Vice President Richard Cheney, the US government and Wall Street had a well-developed awareness of Peak Oil before the 9/11 attacks and that US policy since then has been consistent with Peak Oil imperatives. , Michael Ruppert also a Former LA Police Narcotic Officer supports the idea that the CIA is behind drug trafficking and drug money laundering through Wall Street : CIA's involvement in cocaine smuggling. He goes further in this documentary in detail about how exactly drug money is laundered into Wall Street. He concludes that 9/11 was orchestrated as a pretense to further Wall Street's cause of laundering opium money from Afghanistan and America's conquest in securing the world's natural resources in the face of PEAK OIL.On November 15, 1996, there was a town meeting in Los Angeles on allegations of CIA involvement in drug trafficking. Former Los Angeles Police Narcotics Detective Mike Ruppert seized the opportunity to confront then CIA Director John Deutch

19. Yes it is they tried to make him crazy and he disappared for awhile after publishing the Rubicon!
His offices were constantly broken into and his life was under threat


I saw the notices for the movie Collapse on the LA Times but with other good informative movies like the Pat Tillman story it did not run long are wide in the movies can't let the peasants know how badly they are getting screwed they might revolt or Occupy!

20. You're very welcome. I had to share it when I saw it on facebook.
I just hope it gets seen by the people it's meant for - the police.

21. Wow, very powerful.
As a former military member, I understand what he means about needing and wanting to fighting honorably, in an honorable war.

I also understand how the powers that be sometimes force us into fighting unjustly and unfairly.

But every warrior wants only to be on the side of justice and fairness. We are not afraid of fighting, we have a deep need to fight for those who can't protect themselves, but we want a just and honorable fight. Beating up protesters is not that fight.
