October 9: Michael Ruppert and "Collapse"


Former LAPD officer Michael C. Ruppert founded the conspiracy and investigative journal "From the Wilderness" (FTW) in 1998. He argues that many factors, chief among them the passing of peak oil production, are imminently bringing about a general collapse of industrial civilization. In 2006 Ruppert fled to Venezuela from a perceived threat from the United States government, but returned to make his case about the structural threat to civilization with the 2008 film Collapse.

Ruppert gave up his business interests earlier this year and relocated to a spiritual retreat in Colorado, where he still advocates that intelligent individuals should prepare themselves for the coming apocalypse with sustainable agriculture. He appeared early this morning on the overnight radio program Coast to Coast AM.
