I am devastated. IN MEMORIAM MICHAEL C. RUPPERT, February 3, 1951--April 13, 2014. Sunday night following Mike's Lifeboat Hour radio show, he was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. This was not a "fake" suicide. It was very well planned by Mike who gave us few clues but elaborate instructions for how to proceed without him. His wishes were to be cremated, and as of this moment, there are no plans for a memorial service. However, I will be taking his show this coming Sunday night, April 20, and the entire show will be an In Memoriam show for Mike with opportunities for listeners to call in. It was my privilege to have known Mike for 14 years, to have worked with him, to have been mentored by him, and to have supported him in some of his darkest hours, including the more recent ones. I am posting this announcement with the blessing of his partner Jesse Re and his landlord, Jack Martin. Thank you Mike for all of the truth you courageously exposed and for the legacy of truth-telling you left us. Goodbye my friend. Your memory will live in hour hearts forever. I have no more details to share than I am posting here. We should have much more information by Sunday night.

People like him with real virtue who stand up to power pay a heavy price. He could have had an entirely different kind of life, but he chose to be good. He suffered for it. He was probably tired and depressed. Nobody killed Mike Ruppert at this stage of his life. Anyway, I really liked him. He was smart and courageous, and spoke from the heart. It makes me sad. People get punished for being decent. No justice in it. |

It was all about terror and apprehension and lonliness in our current situation. Something I think we can all relate to. He also had a deep understanding of what the elites have gotten away with, more than most people, even other truthers.

A man who openly opposed the New World Order, and like so many others who have, suffered because he stood for the Truth. He fought the good Fight, I pray he is with Jesus Now and Forever. Time is short for all of us now, Get right with Jesus, He paid the price for all of our sin, accept the Gift that Jesus bought with his Death on the Cross for all who will accept Him as their Saviour. Praise be to God. |

Michael gave "too" much. The Buddists talk about being "detached" from the outcome - no matter how it plays out. Michael clearly expected his efforts would bear more positive fruit than manifested. His "expectations" were his downfall. To survive in the days ahead, it will help A LOT not to have any. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 56576582 Canada 04/15/2014 11:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember reading his stuff after 911, and realizing how right he was. Then he went down south to get away from the corruption but he ended up sick, I think? And he had to come back for treatment. He started to get more spiritual I thought? Depression is a hard thing to kick. But we need need all the warriors we can get. Suicide is never going to help---not for the person committing it (their spirit will just have to come back again with added hardships) and not for those left behind. No matter how bad things get, keep fighting and evolving! |
