Final post on Facebook:
I pray to all things seen and unseen, known and unknown, for we are all One.
The prophecies are being fulfilled. The hour of birth is at hand. The waters break and rend. There is blood. There are screams of pain. There is death and much anxiety in the air. Things look very bad for our Mother and all of her children.
The Truth awaits just on the other side of the ever dissolving veil where all the screaming and the mess is going on. The Truth opens its arms wide to lovingly receive the newborn and to comfort it.
“Isn’t it wonderful?” The Truth exclaims.
I am your scout and this is my report.
Mitakuye Oyasin.
Final "The Lifeboat Hour" show on PRN: http://prn.fm/lifeboat-hour-carolyn-bakerfor-mimi-german-041314/
He apparently committed suicide after this show. (Gunshot to head.) Although suffering from depression, he sounds pretty upbeat to me in the radio show, and sounded like he had plans. His "hint" may have been his list of friends he thanked before he played a KD Lang song, "Calling All Angels."

RIP and happy trails and god bless Mike Ruppert. His work is a huge part of what got me here. Crossing the Rubicon changed my life, his sharing on the Internet opened my eyes perhaps more than any other person. If you are not familiar with him, he is a fascinating soul, was a brave man, and a really good writer.
Collapse is a great movie to wake up someone on the fence of jumping down a rabbit hole.

Sounds rather prophetical in his last post. Did he sense danger? How did he pass over? Age, natural causes/unnatural causes?

Wow, what a shocker! Very sad news.
Here's part 1 of the Vice documentary with him: Apocalypse, Man where he mentions suicide on more than one occasion:

Michael seemed to be a sincere man with a burning passion, I think that he cared so much that his heart was broken. Rest in peace, you will be missed.

I don't think he sounded alright. I think he was deeply tormented. His reference to his brain being a vulture that wakes up 20 minutes before he does and is waiting on the bedpost. His description of his nightmarish perceptions on his trip to Seattle. I don't think he could endure the torment any longer. I'm not saying how he got that way, I have no idea......

Let me soften what I said: The word "upbeat" has to do with cadence, not content. Michael spoke of dark subjects, evil people, peak oil and societal collapse, class warfare, lack of spirituality and respect for Nature, and interwove his vision into that ugly, realistic background. I'm not attempting to diagnose Michael through that radio show, but when I have spoken to people undergoing deep depression (even suicidal), they didn't sound... like that. To me, he doesn't sound like someone who is about to commit suicide. He didn't sound different than his usual self - a man reporting on such monumentally negative material. That's all I meant.

I watched Apocalypse and thought he was so close to the edge that I wondered if I could get in my car and drive south to try to talk him out of it. I am deeply grieved that I couldn't do it, but also know it would likely have made no difference. When was his heart broken? It was when one of his personally chosen staff members turned out to be a spy for the Feds in Ashland, Oregon. Ever since he has been a broken soul trying to recover.
From the Wilderness was my wake up website. I spent countless hours reading articles from that site in 2001, 2002, and 2003. Mike Ruppert is directly responsible for my awareness and probably the awareness of thousands if not millions of others. In a way, he was like David Icke, but unfortunately, did not have one very important source of strength that David Icke has: support from the unseen realms. When David Icke received that support, he saw and believed, and did not count himself crazy. But Mike Ruppert had only himself, and he wasn't strong enough to withstand the brutal force of the opposition. I think he'll be ok now. Now he has that support from the unseen realms.

I am so sorry that this good and honest man had such a tough life. I admired his guts, it must be very difficult to maintain one's values and will in this adversity. There is knowing, telling and then letting go. Most of the path has to be done alone I bet.
Snowflower, how do you know that David Icke is protected from above? Any story telling it? And which above? (although I do not doubt it, I base my belief on nothing, I would very much like to know if you have any information regarding this).

I always liked Mike's From the Wilderness. I even bought Crossing the Rubicon. I've since come to believe that Peak Oil was just another con to maintain obscene oil profits. The evidence is pretty strong and this is not the time but perhaps this had something to do with his downturn in these later years, realizing he'd wagered his entire professional life on something and was deceived. He was a great and passionate environmental advocate, though, and will be missed.

Flash, I'm basing that on everything he says about the directions given to him from the unseen realm - I don't think of it as "above" but as right here with us and unseen from our vibrational level. Mike never talked in those terms. I'm not basing either one on anymore than things they both have said publicly.
ETA: I compare the two because they have both been instrumental in awakening thousands of other souls. And in David Icke's case, I might say millions.

I am still reeling from the news about my most favorite person, Mike Ruppert. I stayed up late on FB reading all the loving posts by so many of his followers....he helped to wake up so many, many people to the realities of this world. I cried last night and more this morning and feel another blast coming on as I type this. He was an emotional man, egotistical, even an asshole at times, but he did not sway one iota from his truth and I really admire that. I re-listened to his last Life Boat Hour and though I did not pick up on it the first time listening (before I knew he had killed himself), on the 2nd listening I could hear and feel his torment on a much deeper level. I know a few personal things that I am not at liberty to say, except for this - he was continually searching for who he was and walked down many paths, sometimes veering off of paths that maybe he should have stayed on.
It's going to be a good while before people recover from this severe loss. To kill oneself is the final act of desperation. He cried out for help and people answered him, but apparently it was not enough to keep him on this side. I even tried reaching out to him on some occasions but with little success. I've walked the exact same path as he in some areas, and know intimately what can go wrong. I will learn from his mistakes and do what I need to do to stay happy and alive. Goodbye my dear, dear friend.

It was suicide, I suppose - not suicided? It would hardly be the first time. I don't really care if he got on the wrong side of the peak oil debate.. He was on the right side in so many other ways.

Though some form of killing each other over lies (think of wars and religious persecutions) has always been the sad "norm" on Earth, "we all start killing each other over lies" (indicating a full societal breakdown) is not happening. In fact, the only real changes I have seen in society in the past decades have been in the other direction, with more and more people reaching out to one another on a local, community level.
If you actually want to shake that ugly feeling of helplessness and hopelessness, I recommend volunteering at a local soup kitchen or community gardening program, or something like that. You, your compassion, your passion, and your love are needed on this planet. Don't check out now.

that is good advice, working with the homeless and the people who help them is relaxing and introspective.

Hi Risveglio,
sounds like you are taking all of this pretty hard, we have brains, something PTB wasn't expecting, we see through curtains that hide truth...
we expose them and force the PTW to take a different route...
so don't feel bad, they realized their toys and mind control can't counter intelligent intervention...

My advice (though no one is asking) if you're feeling depression, suicidal, etc. is to stop eating any gluten at all and get off the thrice damned psychotropics. I'm not kidding. Gluten is linked tightly to depression. The drugs are a cover-up for the real problem.

I was reading and learning from Ruppert (CIA Drug Smuggling, The Octopus, Indian Reservations for protected illegal activities, etc.) before any other whistle-blower had come to my attention. RIP and thanks for your incredible service to Truth and Awakening folks.
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

Forbidden Knowledge just sent this out today to their email list:
Michael C. Ruppert, son of a CIA family
and former LAPD Narcotics Detective
uncovered a CIA link to the crack epidemic
in 1990s and soon found himself
fired.
On November 15, 1996, then Director
of Central Intelligence John Deutch visited
Los Angeles' Locke High School for a town
hall meeting. At the meeting, Ruppert
publicly confronted Deutch, saying that in hi
s experience as an LAPD narcotics officer he h
ad seen evidence of CIA complicity in drug
dealing. The confrontation was handled by
Deutch poorly, resulting in his termination
from the CIA. (I remember watching that
on live TV. it was an amazing showdown).
He went on to publish a very highly-ranked
website, FromtheWilderness.com and book,
'Crossing the Rubicon', which focused on
'Peak Oil', exposed a lot of government
corruption and discussed the imminent
collapse of the hydrocarbon-based economy
and the ecosystems of Earth.
In 2009, his widely-acclaimed but little-seen
film, 'Collapse' was released. It was is an
unrelenting series of angles on Ruppert,
alone, in an unlit room, smoking endless
amounts of cigarettes, as he described,
down to the minutiae, the ways in which
the world was self-destructing, and which
I was lucky enough to see in a classic, old
Los Angeles movie theater, during its limited
run there. (The theater has since been torn
down).
This clip is the first of six by VICE made
about Ruppert, shot late last year in the
days after he'd just settled his affairs in his
home state of California, whereupon, totally
penniless and with nowhere else to go, he
moved in with a friend in beautiful Rocky
Mountains around Crestone, Colorado, with
his dog Rags, admitting that he'd gone there
to either "die or commit suicide".
The latter became a fait accomplit, according
to some sources, via a self-inflicted gun shot
wound to the head, shortly after finishing
his weekly radio show on PRN on April 13,
2014.
The details are still emerging as I write this
about the man who cried in the wilderness for
us all - and who is now no longer with us.

'Apocalypse, Man': Michael C. Ruppert

Here's what it says on the youtube page:
Published on Jan 21, 2014
Check out more VICE Special episodes here: http://bit.ly/NoNE1H
Most people were first exposed to Michael C. Ruppert through the 2009 documentary, Collapse, directed by Chris Smith. Collapse was one of the scariest documentaries about our world and the fragile the state of our planet. It was also one of VICE's favorite films from the past ten years.
Michael was forced to leave the LAPD after claiming that the CIA was complicit in selling drugs across America, and he quickly became one of the most original and strident voices to talk about climate change, government corruption, and peak oil through his website, "From the Wilderness."
Following the release of Collapse, Michael's personal life underwent something of a collapse itself and he paid off all his debts, left behind all his friends, and moved with his dog Rags to Colorado, planning to commit suicide.
VICE caught up with Michael in the middle of the epic beauty of the Rocky Mountains at the end of last year. We found a man undergoing a spiritual rebirth—still passionate about the world and with a whole new set of apocalyptic issues to talk about.
Apocalypse, Man is an intimate portrait of a man convinced of the imminent collapse of the world, but with answers to how the human spirit can survive the impending apocalypse.
Soundtrack by Sunn O))), Flaming Lips, Big Noble, Michael C. Ruppert, and more.

Thanks Dennis. Yeah, I was/am in a bad place but not really, it's hard to explain. I sometimes do feel envious of the good people that got out and I guess I just burped-out my first thought hearing this news. I was not seeing the positive in the world today and that was most likely because of whats going on personally combined with my complete confusion on what or who to believe pretty much about anything.
I could start a rant here but I did not want to derail this thread and wouldask the moderators to remove anything in this thread about my comment (with permission of the others of course). I am not ready to choose that path, just a guy that knows not nearly enough having a really bad day forgetting that this is the internet and one of you may be a cia agent, or even worse, my aunt annie. Thanks for all the comments and for all the pms. I do appreciate it.

OMG what a shock, i saw Carolyn Bakers notice to her readers and was immediately in despair, thinking about facing collapse without Michaels voice, presence, brilliance, and leadership. Its going to be a lonelier future. In a strange way, his choice to die might be an inspiration and a permission giving act, when/if things get so bad/dangerous/impossible. Many might follow him and think of him on their way out. I just wish that there was someone or something that could have made living worth staying for him. Oddly I dreamt of Michael, who I didnt know in person but followed for a decade, about a month ago. I had the urge to offer him a place to live in my dream.. I sensed he was in turmoil. Right after that I heard him say/write that he was happy at all the offers but he was going back to Calif. I kinda wish I had written him. I wonder if he felt alone in his suicidal ideation? He seemed to feel very alone as a scout, leading the way. I know the feeling, the loneliness. I'm sure there were/are other scouts out there... did he meet us? I guess I would have preferred a more detailed suicide note with some explanation but Im sure he did the best he could. Rest in Truth and Peace.

This should probably have its own thread, but Michael Rupperts birth, life, final demise, and the way he exited the planet, reveals the core connection of our DNA imprints and how these core imprints never leave us. We all do it. We try to recreate the scene in our present reality to relive it and change the outcome. These imprints may come from a series of lifetimes with a grooved belief pattern which the soul is attempting to break. Let me explain.
Jenna Orkin was a long time friend of Michael. Yesterday, on Michaels blog she wrote:
http://mikeruppert.blogspot.com/
Here's another piece of the Mike puzzle: He was born DOA, "dead" on arrival. The doctor who delivered him told him when they met 25 years later, that the medical team had done everything possible to revive him but to no avail. Mike's mother had already had one stillbirth so a second was not much of a surprise. As Mike was being carried to the morgue, he cried. The rest, as they say, is history...
So, the very core visceral sensations from gestation, birth and infancy raging deep within the cells of our body, leave lasting imprints. Michael was essentially born dead, yet he survived. His whole life was a caricature of trying to prove that the world was going to end, that collapse was inevitable, and that death was imminent. These were the visceral signals coming from deep down in his core which he could not shake.
In fact, no one was better acquainted with his "lunacy" than his inner circle. We got the hard-to-deal-with side of his personality in our face as long as he stayed close. I believe this is one reason he moved so often, living with no one person for much longer than a year, a trait he and I shared, by the way. His marriage, to a woman almost two decades younger, lasted eighteen months; his sojourn in my apartment, fourteen.
Also, someone who feels “dead” would be reaching outside themselves for life force, and would be a drain on those around them. Michael’s relationships were all very short lived as he drained them, or “killed” them. He would wander and not be able to find peace, tormented by the feelings coming from deep within. When you watch the Vibe interview series, it is obvious he was tormented, depressed and unable to “come alive” from his core visceral DNA experience.
So, what can we learn from Michael? Did he just want to experience the feeling of being alive, yet could not overcome the sensations of death? Was not his whole life an attempt to cheat death while his actions showed that all he could think about and write about was the demise of civilization and the imminent death of mankind? And yet his final act was to take his own life and put a bullet through his skull.
The core visceral DNA imprints from birth are the blueprint of the soul which is experiencing an energetic imprint spanning many lifetimes, based on a belief grooved into our DNA, the energetic counterpart of our cellular structure in a body, and are the most difficult imprints to change, since they occur so early in life and have no cognitive counterpart as a fetus. We attempt to attach meaning to these imprints in our external reality to justify how we feel, and create symbolism's, archetypes, act outs, and all manner of projections to try an explain what is happening deep down in our core. These imprints can be spotted by the repeat patterns we recreate in our lives over and over and over again.
The lesson is to embrace our energetic imprints and our early core history, and to recognize these deep cellular sensations as our soul DNA stream which encompasses everything we have collectively gathered and imbedded in all of our lifetimes, and that it is the body which holds these for unification in this life.
Now, Michael’s attempt to recreate the scene and change the outcome, did not have the complete experience through suicide. He found the peace he was after, yet he did not get the full connection without owning and embracing the belief “I want to live” and I choose to live fully no matter what. Although his suicide is a victory of sorts, if he fully embraced it and fully owned it, but choosing to live would have cleared the imprint.
It’s likely he will be back to face the energetic and belief of that imprint again. Rest in peace my brother. You sure deserve it.
Mother's, love your babies. Those imprints last a lifetime.
