This is the same Taliban who said they would hand over OBL
if the US showed proof of 911 Connection.
Why did we attack Afghanistan?
And notice how the "war lords and drug organizations" are having no trouble staying in Afghanistan.
Especially since the 'evil' Taliban had managed to cut it's opium crop by 96% in one year! (2000/2001) The 'war lords and drug organizations' must be in a place called Washington, DC.
Mike C Ruppert, who ran the From The Wilderness site, was not always correct, but correct far far too often for my taste.
whatever happened to Mike Ruppert. Flamed out in Venezuela, it was reported. Is he just going to join all the "disappeared" scientists and journalists who got too close to the truth?
Go over to Carolyn Baker's site.
She's been keeping tabs and doing a yeo(wo)man's
job of reporting.

Last I heard, he was in NY getting treatment for serious medical problems. He's said he's planning to move back to Oregon when he can.
As I understood - he got sick about the same time he got threatened and left the US of A. Went to Venezuela, then to Canada and may be visiting the US of A for treatment.
Considering any of us can 'get' cancer from viruses, various mycotoxins, many different industrial chemicals, and the various radio-isotopes - plenty of fertile ground to grow conspiracies to be watered with historical deceptions/behaviors of humans VS other humans.
It would be impossible to prove any conspiracy-- not enough people care.
Mike Ruppert cut as close to the flame as anyone could -- he may have been burned, or maybe his illness was just "natural".
Either way, he is missed, I can say that for myself, anyway.

Ditto. I found out about Peak Oil at www.FromTheWilderness.com back in 2001.
We miss ya Mike.
"I found out about Peak Oil at www.FromTheWilderness.com"
As did I, from one of his staffer's articles. There was definitely a lot of good stuff there...
Yes. A shame he could not continue his work.
If 90% of the people cared, there is no 'proof' for some - even if someone were to show a film of them doing the conspiortial act.
We, the readers of TOD will never know. But with the history of 'black bag/wet operations' of people in power VS people who make statements not flattering to power - there will allways be people who will feel it was some form of assassination.
(And you want that kind of suspicion to stop? Support open records in every place you can.)

Jenna Orkin's blog mentions Mike sometimes. I think she is a friend of his. Or at least an admirer; note the URL of the blog.
Yes, Look at the Opium production graphs for something interesting.
